15/12/2017 The One Show

Hello and welcome to your festive

Friday One Show with Alex Jones.

And Patrick Kielty.

We've lots of presents

to unwrap for you tonight,

and the first one is a Christmas

gift that keeps on giving.

He entertained/horrified the nation

with his dancing last year,

and a couple of weeks ago he proved

he's still got it during

an unscheduled return

to the Strictly dance floor.

If we keep watching, you will see

we've never seen Tess Daly look

so... Not respect hang on! O! It's

Ed Balls!

APPLAUSE

Welcome, welcome.

Good to be here.

The live show was about to start

five minutes later. If I'd got my

angle just a few inches that way and

taken out Tess, what would have

happened?

You could have stepped in,

Ed.

It would have been chaos.

I

thought it was your plan.

There was

no plan, it happened spontaneously.

Or at least Claudia and Tess, it was

their plan.

OK, runners and riders

at the weekend. All week, people

have been discussing this. Everybody

involved in the show has been doing

that thing, oh, we love them all,

we're not sure, we don't know.

We

want ranking.

I think Gemma has

really improved through the show. I

think it will be a big surprise if

she wins, but I think she could,

because on the night anybody could

pull it off.

True.

Alexandra is

clearly a natural dancer, she's been

in the dance off a couple of times

but is hugely talented. Debbie is

incredible, the idea she can do

those amazing spins and steps, a

beautiful dancer, however, Katya is

a genius and Katya and Joe, you have

to tip them, they are brilliant.

I

thought what he was doing there,

that classic politician Amble, but

he is given as a result.

Katya and

Joe, I think.

We know you are an

enthusiastic dancer but we will talk

about another passion of yours,

something more surprising, but I

love you more for it.

We love you

more for this, we'll find out soon.

And we have another gift for you -

a singalong with one

of Britain's biggest bands.

Yes.

The mighty Elbow are here -

there they are, literally

warming up outside.

The same sort of fire we've got,

it's so effective you can go like

this.

They are either very big and

their fire is very small, or we are

very tiny.

One Day Like This

will close the show.

Nothing gives you more pleasure than

doing it myself, but it comes with

its own risks. It comes with its own

risks, especially when you're out of

warranty.

I see where are you are

going. The manufacturers want to

mend them for you at great expense

but there is another way.

Here's Rory.

For most of us begin side of the

gadget like a smartphone is a

mystery, something not to be

tampered with, but Khalid is part of

a growing band of tech heads whose

shares their skills online.

This is

the fastest iPhone replacement.

Freese-macro fixes things that his

shop in West London and I'm joining

him for the day. Wash Khalid fixes

shops. In the 20 years he's been

running his repair business, he's

seen huge changes in the way mobile

phones are made.

Matt manufacturers

are making phones more concentrated.

How do you learn the new designs?

Trial and error, a couple of

training courses, lots of

instructional videos on YouTube.

Text giants don't tend to release

repair manuals and they say

unauthorised modifications may void

your warranty. What's more, they can

even be dangerous. So it's little

wonder high-street repair shops like

Khalid's are so popular. This

morning he's tackling one of the

most common repairs, broken screen.

That's a tiny, tiny screwdriver and

even tinier screws. We should be

able to lift the screen off.

It

takes Khalid about ten minutes. For

this phone, he charges £45 to

replace the screen, which is cheaper

than taking an out of warranty phone

to the manufacturer. Well done. It

looks like new. It's even got the

plastic on it. Lunchtime and

customer brings in a top end phone

that she's tried to fix herself.

The

volume down button seems to be

broken.

We should have it turned

around within two to three hours.

Why did you bring the phone here,

rather than taking the manufacturer?

I need my phone for work so it's not

convenient for it to be sent off for

a week.

Khalid is no slouch but some

of the latest like bloomed, not

screwed, so this job calls for

something special.

We need a hot-air

gun to soften up the glue, without

burning the inside. There you go.

This is the volume key pressure

plates.

This is high-tech stuff but

it takes a brush, a puff, a screw,

and a dab for Khalid to get the

phone working again.

Perfect.

With

the EU pushing for consumers to have

more rights to repair all the

gadgets it seems there's growing

demand to go DIY. So the safe and

simple repairs, how about learning

to do it yourself?

It will save you

money.

My mobile phone is very old.

That's a classic.

I'm a computer

software programmer and I would take

the trouble to find out.

The Restart

Project helps people fix their own

gear.

They are frustrated with how

they gadgets breakdown and are often

not repairable. It would be

phenomenally important to get

manufacturers to release more repair

manuals and to provide a reliable

spare parts for the products that we

are trying to repair.

So what have

the biggest own brands got to say

about this? Well, Apple wouldn't

comment, however, they do provide a

DIY parts service but only if they

decide that that service is

available to you. Samsung say if a

user damages their device or a fault

occurs outside of the warranty

period, their authorised third-party

repair centres offer competitive

pricing for repairs. So we'll phone

companies be ringing the changes in

future? There's clearly a desire

from customers that they want to

repair their favourite device will

stop if it breaks, they want it

fixed, but it's very unlikely we

will see manufacturers ever

releasing repair guides to the

general public.

Back at the shop and Khalid has just

finished off his eighth goal of the

day. You are doing it but how easy

is it for the man in the street to

repair their own phone?

There are

simple steps, but it takes a lot of

practice and experience.

Should I

give it a go myself?

If you've got

the patience, of course.

So Ed,

remember that though we asked you to

give us before the phone so it

wouldn't interfere with the

microphones in the studio.

Oh, no!

This is what it actually looks like,

it's taken apart. So Khalid, how

many parts in Ed's phone? Been

bobbing this particular phone has

about 20 different parts.

We've got

about 40 screws.

How long do you

think it will take to put this phone

back together, for Ed?

For

Bunn-macro, an all singing all

dancing phone, about 20 minutes,

hopefully.

That's good news because

we are faring about 19. We will try

to put this phone back together and

you will ring me, is that right?

Of

course.

But then we give the phone

back to you.

But no send to all text

messages, please, I've had one of

those and it was quite enough.

Khalid is dressed as a doctor, I'm

dressed as a raver from Glastonbury,

it will be fine.

Pure coincidence

but I have been to your shop twice.

My screen, I keep dropping my phone

and there's a volume problem, so I

could do with you looking at it

before the end of the shown. Sort

out Ed's phone first, obviously.

Don't worry, it's not an expert

hands.

Not in your hands.

This

seemed like a good idea but I'm

thinking it could go badly wrong.

It

will be fine!

It's under control!

You've got a brilliant programme on

New Year's Day. It's all about the

musicals. This was a passion of

yours that nobody really knew about,

so tell us how that started.

It

started with my mum. The first

musical she ever played to us was

Godspell, 1971, I was four years old

dancing around the kitchen. We saw

Joseph on the tour when I was about

eight. My biggest ambition, if I

couldn't play for Norwich city, what

I wanted to do was be in the chorus

of Joseph, because they always chose

a local school. They chose the other

school in our village, I was so

jealous. I love musicals.

This

singing thing at the dancing thing.

It feels as if you had a bit of

showbiz start your life and then the

politics was the distraction and now

you are back to where you really

should have been, Ed?

It's so nice,

if you go to Joseph, then everybody

enjoys it. If you go to Strictly,

the great thing about Strictly is on

the night everybody, even Craig

wants you to do well. It's so warm

and positive. It brings the country

together. Whereas in politics, in

Parliament, if you do a big speech,

half the MPs, half the people

watching, actually want you to do

badly rather than wealth, which is a

tough thing.

You are saying it's

quite nice to liked?

It's quite nice

not to feel as though half of the

people are willing you to fail,

that's true, because it's not like

that. Politics is really important

because such big decisions being

made in Parliament, the budget,

Brexit, so I have huge respect for

what politicians do. I was involved

for a long time but it's nice to do

something different and fun and what

could be better than talking up

musicals?

Nothing, Ed. I'm Bob --

I'm on board with your idea. We've

got your playlist, lots of classics

in there. You are talking Joseph, a

beta, some modern stuff as well.

This looks like a very cheap on QVC

for your album, I have to say.

It

does, a bit.

This album is not

available in the shops.

So talk us

through The Sound of Music, because

that holds a special place in your

heart, doesn't it?

That film was

made before I was born but we

watched it loads of times at home

and it turned out that my wife is

into The Sound of Music as well, so

our kids all enjoy it. We actually

went to Salzburg and did the tour.

You went on holiday?

What was it

like?

It was incredible. The people

of Austria thinks Salzburg is famous

as the birthplace of Mozart, which

is important, but of course we know

it's where The Sound of Music was

filmed. If you arrive there, there's

a British tour company undertakes

four hours on a bicycle. The tour

guide has a beatboxer and you drive

on the bicycle, ride on your

bicycle, and go to every place in

the film. Each placed they turn the

music on and you sing the songs,

through a meadow, the place where

the nuns locked the door, round the

fountains, you dance to stand in

front of a house.

Did you dress up?

Who was your favourite character?

The captain on the day. If it bought

old curtain material and we made for

the boys, neckerchiefs, the girls

had neck scarves -- my wife bought

old curtain material. We had curtain

material, we went for it.

I'm coming

over to your house for a singsong in

the kitchen!

At the end of the tour

they say they want to use the photos

for publicity and we said,

absolutely not, they are so

embarrassing and we managed to keep

them secret.

Some people who got on

the sherry early over Christmas,

this is actually happening, Ed Balls

is talking about his love of The

Sound of Music. It's true.

And on

the show I talk, on the radio show,

I talk to Miranda and Craig Revel

Horwood, to Bill Kenwright, took

Leslie and Danny Mac about their

love of musicals and it turns out

Miranda has also been to Salzburg

and done The Sound of Music tour.

We

have to do this.

Although she did it

on a tour bus, which I thought was a

bit defeat. Really cool.

Ed Balls on

Musical Theatre starts at 3pm, New

Year's Day, on BBC Radio Two.

Sounds

fantastic. What were the finals of

Strictly and The Apprentice does

Sports Personality of the Year, it's

a huge weekend for handing out big

prizes on the BBC.

There's the Unsung Hero Award, it

makes a difference for the

volunteers who are involved in

sport.

These are some of the heroes

of recent years. Yellow Bob in my

role at the local club is coach,

general dogsbody, fixtures

secretary, you name it, I've done

it. A typical day for me would be to

get up at 5am to go to work for 6am.

During that day, running the

juniors, coaching the juniors,

practice nights, ensuring that we

get teams out in time. Run, run,

run! I think I'm a normal person who

likes to pass on the love of the

game. It's been totally amazing, the

amount of goodwill messages from

other clubs and cricketing people

that I generally know. It's been

quite overwhelming, seeing that

youngster get 10% better or enjoying

what he does in the game. And to

ensure that when they go off the

pitch, they've enjoyed it. Is it

worth it, I keep asking myself. But

for me I've got quite a lot of good

out of the game so I like to pass

that on.

I was very honoured to be

nominated, because I felt that was a

nomination from people who knew me,

people who knew the work I did. I

don't really know how I inspire

people to take part in sport, but I

think it's probably my enthusiasm

for it will stop people believe they

can't teach a person who's got a

disability, instead of being able to

look at the person, see the person

needs to be able to learn to swim.

They just need to have confidence in

themselves. I think the joy is very

much seeing the children have

enjoyed the fun aspect of it, which

swimming should be fun. The unsung

heroes were the ones who learned to

swim.

To actually go onstage and actually

win the award, it was magnificent. I

was nominated by one of the parents

and two win the regional award just

amazing, to get that sort of

recognition for the work I am

passionate about and love doing. I

like to always give people something

positive about what they have got,

what they can achieve, give them

inspiration. We do more than sport,

we helped push through life skills

and social skills to make them the

best people they can possibly be. I

am an advocate for everyone to come

into a sporting environment and

volunteer because what you get back

is phenomenal. Seeing young people

from seedlings go on to flower and

be fantastic people, it is just the

best feeling in the world.

The winner of this year's award

is revealed on Sunday in Liverpool,

along with who you have chosen to be

the BBC Sports Personality

of the Year 2017, the show starts

at 6:45pm on BBC One.

How long do you think this is going

to take?

I think another ten

minutes.

Do you need any more help?

Always.

Elbow start playing -

and Alex is with them now.

Let's hear it for Elbow! Great to

see you, thank you for coming back.

You have got your first best of

album out, how much of a nightmare

was it to decide what was going on

it in terms of everybody in the band

agreeing?

It was hell! Mark did most

of the work, to be fair. We all had

different ideas of what the best

stuff was so it ended up being a

huge compromise but we are all proud

of it. Got it to a good place.

Some

people think some people just put

out the best of but you feel there

is a lot more significance than

that?

Yeah, in terms of, there is

also, sometimes a negative

connotation...

It can be.

But my

first Leonard Cohen record was a

best of. The best of Queen is

something we still listen to all the

time, Fleetwood Mac. In terms of

streaming it's a good way to lead

people to our seven albums.

It is

brilliant. New fans, you have had a

little boy, we have spoken about it,

how are you finding being a father?

I love it, he was here earlier, with

his mum.

I hope he was wrapped up

warm because it is called out here!

Looking forward to hearing you play.

When Michael Douglas commits

to an idea, he REALLY commits.

So after we asked him to head out

on a year long Christmas odyssey,

he threw himself into it 100%.

But as you're about to see,

we're not sure his family

were completely on board.

# Well I wish it could be Christmas

every day no song sums up the spirit

of the season like the classic I

wish it could be Christmas every

day. Christmas every day? What would

that be like? I wanted to find out

for sure. Hello from the 25th of

December 2016! CHEERING

Christmas might be about to end in a

couple of hours but not for me

because from now until this time

next year I am going to celebrate

Christmas every single day. CHEERING

Presents everyday!

What? January the

1st 2017 was the start of our

Christmas everyday experiment. And

instead of the eight decorations

coming down they stayed up into

February and beyond. Valentine's Day

bought mistletoe kisses for the

misses. And we marched into March

with some seasonable sprouts. Spring

cleaning had a different feel this

year. And by the climax of the

football season we were still

sticking to our goal. However... By

the time we reached the summer are

certain doom had engulfed the house

and I hold my hands up. I did miss a

day or two. Its June 25, 2017,

exactly halfway between one

Christmas and another and to prove

it here is today's paper, June 25, I

wanted out, it's exactly how my kids

are feeling about Christmas! Come on

in, how do you feel?

Brilliant.

Maybe I am doing something wrong, so

I have invited around a man who

celebrated Christmas every day for

the last 24 years. Maybe he will

some advice.

Merry Christmas.

What

kind of things have you been up to?

In the morning I rushed down the

stairs to open my presence and start

preparing my Christmas dinner.

Turkey roast, it's on the plate.

Why?

Ever since I have done it its

make me a happy person.

What other

downsides, maybe putting on a few

pounds?

Before I started celebrating

Christmas every day I was 12 stones

and I got up to 21.

I am six months

in and finding it difficult, any

advice?

I think you should just get

out there and show the people what

you mean.

Take Christmas to the

people?

Take it to the limit.

The

meeting gave me the boost I needed

so I decided to bring Christmas to

the people in the middle of a

heatwave in June with the help of

some friends.

# Ding dong merrily on high.

I am celebrating Christmas every

day, would you like a present?

I

would.

Do you celebrate Christmas?

No, I am Jewish.

OK.

# Hosanna here in Chelsea. We were

off again. The last festive barbecue

of the summer. Sending the kids off

to a new school year with the

Christmas spring in their step. By

autumn we were celebrating the end

in sight which arrived around the

start of November. Regents street

and they have actually put the

lights up at last. It's beginning to

look a lot like Christmas. Finally.

And as we approached December it's

fair to say everyone had had enough.

How have I found it? Well, I am

pretty miserable, the kids are not

talking to me, I have put on weight

and my stress is through the roof.

Enjoying a bit too much of this and

I am skint. So the next time you are

singing along to I wish it could be

Christmas every day, just be careful

what you really wish for, it could

turn you into a Scrooge. Now cleared

off!

Well Michael and the whole family

are with us now.

They loved it!

There were times you did not look

that impressed, as it dampened your

Christmas spirit?

It will be nice

this time because we actually get

presents!

What I have loved most of

all is all the kissing, I have

mistletoe all over the house, you

have loved it! Gathering around the

piano everyday has slightly lost its

sparkle.

And what about the Brussels

sprouts for a year, how did that

work?

Every single day? At the

started pretty horrible but you get

used to it. But they are Brussels

sprouts, so...

You will be relieved

to know Khalid has fixed the phone,

and that is your phone back. It was

never your phone.

Are you sure that

is mine?

Fingers crossed!

Thank you

very much, you have been a good

sport.

Thanks to Ed, his BBC Radio 2

special On Musical Theatre begins

at 3pm on New Year's Day.

Now let's send you into the weekend

in style, with the sing-a-long song

from their Best Of album,

it's Elbow and "One Day Like This."

# Drinking in the morning sun

# Blinking in the morning sun

# Shaking off a heavy one

# Yeah heavy like a loaded gun

# What made me behave that way

# Using words I never say

# I can only think it must be love

# Oh anyway

# It's looking like a beautiful day

# Someone tell me how I feel

# It's silly wrong but vivid right

# Oh kiss me like a final meal

# Yeah kiss me like we die tonight

# Cause holy cow I love your eyes

# And only now I see the light

# Yeah lying with you half awake

# Oh anyway, it's looking

like a beautiful day

# So throw those curtains wide

# One day like this

a year'd see me right

# So throw those curtains wide

# One day like this

a year'd see me right

# So throw those curtains wide

# One day like this

a year'd see me right

# So throw those curtains wide

# One day like this

a year'd see me right

# Holy cow I love your eyes

# And only now I see the light

# Holy cow I love your eyes

# And only now I see the light

# Throw those curtains wide

# One day like this

a year'd see me right #

# Throw those curtains wide

Happy Christmas everyone!
