15/11/2012 The One Show

Hello and welcome to the One Show. Tonight, we are live from a very

chilly Reading. Very shortly, Matt and Team Rickshaw will be arriving.

It is day seven of the challenge, and they have cycled 372.57 miles,

incredibly. Tomorrow is the last day, so hopefully in 24 hours they

will be crossing the finishing line. Brilliant! Even though Lauren has

to cycle the last leg of the journey this evening, Pudsey

arrived in style. He came down the river on a boat earlier and was

greeted by the Reading Sea cadets, which was very nice. Of course, we

are pleased to have Pudsey here. But I have a sneaky feeling he has

only turned up to get a kiss from our lovely guest. Is that right? I

thought so. Shall we welcome her, the very beautiful Katherine

Jenkins. Hello. Lovely to see you. How are you? I am good. How are

you? Good. Will you blow him a kiss? It is the only reason he has

come. He has a happy boy. Earlier in the week, Monday or Tuesday, the

rickshaw went past your home town, Neath. My mum told me. She was

aware it was coming through. should have come out and put money

in the bucket. They are inspirational, these teenagers.

They are absolutely amazing. I have been so inspired by them, pushing

themselves in such an incredible way, with everything they have

already been through. Having to have all of the physio on top of

all of this as well, it is amazing. I have been watching with a tear in

my eye. We know what Team Rickshaw are doing but there are thousands

of you all across the country doing your bit for Children In Need,

whether it be sitting in a bath of baked beans, or a cake stall, lots

of different stuff. We have a very special girl here tonight,

Philomena. What strikes you about her is the beautiful flowing locks.

Tonight, she is going to shave them all off in aid of Children In Need.

Are you sure? Definitely. Yes. Michael Douglas is going to do the

deed. Michael, go for it. The first step. I can't watch! The first step

is with some scissors. I will just cut across. It is thicker than you

think. It is such a shame. She has thick hair. It will grow back.

Don't worry about it. There you go, Philomena. Say goodbye. Goodbye,

hair. How do you feel? I feel all right. You look lovely light that,

if it is any consolation. We will see the finished result later. Here

is how day seven went for our Team Rickshaw. Day seven saw the riders

leave Salisbury in the hope of travelling 51 miles to Reading.

Jamila took the early morning shift. Everybody is excited that London is

well within sight. The thing years, you don't want to take your eye off

the ball because this is where things could go wrong. Only one

hour in, and we were in trouble. A week of cycling had we can to the

legs, and Jamila needed help. This is bordering on cruelty, but it is

a good technique for Jamila. Come on, come on. Do me a favour? Can

you read that sign. London, three miles. London is within reach. That

was three miles to the motorway. How long have you been in that

traffic jam? 45 minutes. And she gave a donation. Thank you. We have

another one here. As the day unfolded, we got more

donations on route, and we were given a warm welcome to reach town

That is a lovely sound. After a day of rest, Kieran was back on the

rickshaw. You look a lot brighter this morning. I am feeling a lot

better. It was soon clear that we were all very happy to see him

return to the saddle. You need to complete what you're trying to

achieve. How do you keep the tears away? It has given me some more

energy to continue. It is always really difficult in my mind, to

know how hard to push him. Fatigue is setting in, door of the riders

have their own physical ability. And to see their grit and

determination, and to see them apply it to the pedals, and to this

distance, it is incredibly inspiring. I am just delighted with

how well they have got on with each other. For example, Lauren, she has

really surprised me. You think, why shouldn't she be able to get on to

bike and turn her legs and apply that determination from her

everyday life to this. For Jack, this has reaffirmed his

determination. He has learned the formula of him putting in an

enormous amount of effort, and it being incredibly worthwhile. Every

day, I can't wait for Kieran. I am incredibly surprised by what he has

done physically. -- Ciaran. When he had his day off, he could not wait

to come up to me and tell me how sorry he was that he felt he had

not done his thing on that day. You watch him, and he is kind of... I

think it is harder when you have got his dad alongside. You can only

make comparisons as a father and think how proud he must be. And you

think, for him, how much harder this is. His Co ordination, his

tiredness. And yet he is battling against that. He is like, I am

going to get on and do it. He never says, can I get off? He only says,

can I do more miles? Lovely Matt. It has been hard for him because he

has spent so much time with the youngsters. We were glad to get

Ciaran back. I am joined by Lauren's mum. You have been with us

for the whole thing. How has it been from your perspective? It has

been great. I have witnessed first hand how the team has gelled

together, got to know one another, and the friendship has grown over

the last week. Has Lauren exceeded all of your expectations? You

probably knew she would be able to do some of it, but she has done

incredibly well. We were expecting maybe a couple of miles that she

would manage out of the week. To do 2.5 on the first day, and 13.5 on

Saturday, and about eight or nine on most days thereafter, it has

been mind-blowing. She is loving every minute. How would you feel

when you see her riding into Reading this evening? Holding back

the tears. I have some tissues in my pocket. You will not have to

wait long because Matt and Lauren are due around the corner any

minute. Here they come. There you go. Stay there. Put the

Ready? Are you UN clipped? 1, two, three. And off she comes. Brilliant.

Argue OK? I am very well, thank you. You know the hospital where you

were treated? In that ward, they have a television showing this

programme tonight. No way. Do you have a message for all of the

People award watching? -- all of the people on the ward. Hello, Ward

seven. I hope everybody is doing all right. Please keep donating.

And get well soon, everyone. Very good. Matt, how is the feeling in

Team Rickshaw? There are some sore legs. Jamila, you did a mammoth job

one Somerville's this morning but Lauren brought the team home

beautifully. She has just powered on through the whole time on the

bike. Can you believe we started this thing last Friday. This is the

last night. It is a bit of mixed emotions. We have worked so hard

throughout the week. But it is going to be ashamed to not see

everyone again. Listen up, because it is the last day we do not want

to be late, so we have two alarm clocks for the first possible two.

James, you are one of them. And you, Jack. Always competitive. The

question is, who will be starting? We will have a game of paper,

scissors, stone. This is for the first rider tomorrow. There you go.

Here we go, then. Let's get it done. And the thing is, Darren has had

his bail compers gated because everybody thought it was making too

much noise. -- he had his bell confiscated. So here you go. To

show your support, you don't have to get on a bike. You only have to

follow these instructions. Can you still talk? Let's tell everybody

how they can give us their money. If you would like to donate �5, all

you have to do his text the word He loves that bell. It is all we

have heard all day. When I first got it for him, he put it on his

white cane and he was ringing at the whole time. We will get a total

later on. Katherine, you are very much getting into the spirit of

Christmas with your new album, This Is Christmas. I have actually been

making it since June. It has been Christmas all year for me. I was

reading you on Twitter and you said you were in Malta recording your

Christmas album. Did you make the studio look like Christmas? I had

to. It was intensely hot. When you are a classical singer, you like to

sing later in the day. So I would do a bit of sunbathing in the

morning. The life of Katherine Jenkins! And then I would go to

Santa's grotto. I had a Christmas tree, fairy lights, candles, the

whole lot. How else would I get into the spirit? Did you have a

glass of sherry before you started? I did not. This is you, looking and

sounding as if you are in the North Pole.

# Away in a manger no crib for a bed. #

You are taking that on tour leading up to Christmas. Next week, I go to

America to go on tour. And I am finishing the year with a big UK

tour, and I'm looking forward to that because I have been away so

much. It is lovely to be home and finish the year back. Christmas in

Neath? Absolutely. We have a date in Las Vegas, so I am looking

forward to that. But I will be back in London at the Royal Albert Hall,

in Belfast, Dublin and across the UK. It is going to be lovely.

of Team Rickshaw, Jamila, who is over there, she is an aspiring

singer-songwriter. She loves to dance and act. We thought it would

be nice if you could have a chat, because you are actually in panto.

Man in Jack and the Beanstalk. you enjoying it? Years. Just

remember that everybody in the audience wants you to do well.

Enjoy the opportunity and remember it is supposed to be good fun as

well. Don't let the nerds get the better of you. Go out and enjoy it

and you will shine your best. But do not let nerves get the better of

you. Give us some idea of what code seven years, how it works and how

it has helped you. It is an organisation for young people who

are interested in music and media. They can go and explore their

talents and it keeps them off the streets. That is somewhere they can

feel safe but the creative. long have you been involved.

started when I was 15. Cycling for now and then back to panto. I have

been trying to get you to sing but There we are.

We are moving on. Katherine's album, this This Is

Christmas, is out on the 25th of December.

The tour starts on the 9th. Jam I willa, when does your panto start?

It starts on the 11th of December. Now, the families now what it is

like to have fair dogs around them 24 /7. Now Jon Culshaw is

encouraging people to take their pets to work, all in aid of

Children In Need. This is one of the many call

centres taking calls and donations from the public for Children In

Need tomorrow night, but for one day only, there are a few extra

members of staff. This Take Your Dog To Work day is

in aid of Children In Need, dogs in a call centre. What could possibly

go wrong? # Who let the dogs out. # The staff

are rehearsing for the big night. Thank you very much for the

donation. As if they don't have enough to

distract them, I will test out the telephone technique.

Well, they seem at home in there, we thought we would would give them

a little surprise. Me and my best friend, Sam here. They have no idea,

but before I make my presence known, time for a few phone calls. I'm

calling from the Aintree Racecourse, I understand it is the national

Bring Your Dog to Work day today? Yes it is.

Over on the half side, he is gone! It is busy here.

Oh, Jon has taken the bone off me. Who would have thought that me,

John Birb op would be coming here to congratulate you for taking the

calls. That is why it is nice to see you, to see you, nice. You are

still my favourite! So on the big Children In Need night, how do you

describe the buzz? Electric. Absolutely electric. The staff here

come in, and everybody goes away saying it is the best night they

have ever had. Not content with handling all of

the calls on Children In Need, the staff are off to do some phrasing

on their own. Now it is time to take the dogs for a trip into Derry,

to see if they can inspire the locals with a bit of money all for

Children In Need. Here we go! Puds si has even turned up and so have -

- Pudsey has turned up, so have lots of local kids to show their

support. The bucket is getting heavy. This is what we like. By the

end of that we raised about �150, all for Children In Need! What a

great idea! It is. Now, earlier on we met the very

brave Philomena Dineen, who I think is absolutely nuts. You are about

to shave all your hair off in aid of a very good cause, which is

Children In Need, of course. You have a great bob, you could leave

it there, but are we going to persist and go for it? I think we

should go on. It is not the perfect weather for

it? I am freezing. It will shock me. Let's go ahead.

Now it will grow back at 0 .3 5 millimetres a month! Straight down

the middle! Shall I stop? Katherine?! I'm so amazed by your

bravery, but she has such a beautiful face, you will carry it

off. You will look gorgeous. That is lovely, leave that on the

side. Just to leave it like that? It

looks good! Have you ever had this done before? No! I would never do

this, ever. Your best friend Georgia is here

tonight. She has beautiful hair as well. What was your reaction when

fill Meena said she would do this? We were all so shocked but we knew

that Philomena Dineen was the best to do it. She is very brave.

You do look lovely. You do! George, I think you are

going to be brushing your hair in front of her! That is looking great.

Shall we look at the before and after... What do you think? Wow!

like it! Listen, I honestly think you should show that off it looks

great, but if you get cold, love, I have had this hat on for the last

two nights, here you go. You are very brave to do it, but

how much money have you raised as a result of tonight? I was looking

for about �200, but I have raised about �150 when I last looked.

And your hair is going to a special cause? It is going to a charity

called the Little Princess' Trust. It will be made for a wig for a

little girl who has lost their hair through cancer.

That is lovely. In the past seven days we have gotten to now Team GB

tem so well. -- Team Rickshaw so well. Before

they push into London, let's remind ourselves of their families.

This is me, darn, with my sister, mum and dad and not to forget my

dog. I have an eye condition.

My mum has eye problems as well. We are living with people with worse

sight, so I need to be their eyes as well.

I went up the hill. I got back on my bike after I got up the hill as

I was so tired. Hi, I'm Lauren. This picture is

called Alone. It is an emotion I was feeling because I had no

friends. Everybody distanced themselves after my accident.

From not having friends to people shouting my name! It really does

something to you. You don't have words to describe

how much it means. Hi, I'm jam I willa, welcome to my

house. -- jam Ilya, welcome to my house. When I go to pie house I

feel self-conscious. You see a gang and you don't want to be near there,

or near them. It wants you to stay at home and you feel isolated and

alone. I'm Jack, I am 16 years old. I live

in Romford with my dad and sister. When I was born I was diagnosed

with a genetic syndrome. At 18 months old both kidneys were

removed. I then had a kidney transplant. My om pigs was to

become a firefighter. Having a donated organ does not make a

difference to what you can do. name is James. Since I was four,

five, I became a carer. I help my sister who is autistic and my mum

has a mental illness. I want to promote young carers. I

think it would be a good achievement to complete this.

My name is Ciaran Fitzgerald. Just because I have cerebral palsy

doesn't mean that I can't push myself as hard as someone who is

able-bodied. I feel really proud of myself. So

proud of what I have achieved. APPLAUSE

That brings back wonderful memories of the last seven days.

It is unbelievable it is the last day tomorrow.

I know. Somebody that we could have been joined with along the route is

Adam Phillips, he knows Jack very well. Give us an idea of how you

know Jack well, and how you could have been joining us on the route

but did not. Well the charity that Jack

represents we both used to run for them.

This is all about kidney transplants? It is.

The weekend of the fitness trials I got a call for my second kidney

transplant. What was that call like? What goes

through your mind? It is nerve- wracking until you get into the

hospital. You see the forms, you understand what you are going to go

through. Then it is the mental state to get yourself back into

recovery. How long did you have a kidney

transplant? It was eight weeks ago on Monday. You are looking

phenomenal. You look so healthy now. How do you feel? A lot better than

six months ago. Have you been following in the progress of Jack?

I have. Looking at him with admiration, in fact. He is

incredibly competitive! You are telling me! You will know if you

run with him. We can't stop him. He is first off in the morning, so we

should get a good start. 38 miles. Let's bring the rest of Team

Rickshaw. Yes, let's tell you what is ahead

of us tomorrow. It is 38 miles. We are leaving here, heading down to

Windsor. Some nice donations there, perhaps. Then off to Hounslow and

hopefully arriving at Television Centre at 7.00pm for the start of

Children In Need night. So, how are you feeling for

tomorrow, the last day? Feeling excited.

Are you a little gutted it will be over? I don't want it to end.

We will miss you, Darren. We will have a reunion.

So, shall we get the total of day number seven? Yes! Good luck! Right,

thanks, Pudsey. I have it here. You will love this. Stand by... The

current total on night number seven is... That does not count the

thousands of pounds we are collecting in the buckets as we go.

Thank you very much so -- you are helping us so much.
