0:00:18 > 0:00:21Hello, and welcome to The One Show, with Matt Baker.
0:00:21 > 0:00:25And Angela Scanlon.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27Now remember this?
0:00:27 > 0:00:29It was the moment last Thursday Lucy Siegle challenged
0:00:29 > 0:00:32Gordon Ramsay to ditch plastic straws in his restaurants.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36She's back with an update on that and how the rest of us are waking up
0:00:36 > 0:00:39to the call to Turn the Plastic Tide in 2018.
0:00:39 > 0:00:40She won't be ambushing tonight's guest though.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42He already switched to an electric car,
0:00:42 > 0:00:44although it's not as fast as this
0:00:44 > 0:00:46one which Top Gear's Rory Reid
0:00:46 > 0:00:53will be showcasing later.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57From Madness - It's Suggs!
0:00:57 > 0:01:04APPLAUSE Hello. So, we have said you are
0:01:04 > 0:01:08going green, you have an electric car, how is life with it?Good, from
0:01:08 > 0:01:14the days of the milk float, things have come on. I can tell you. I
0:01:14 > 0:01:18worked on a milk float as a kid, they didn't go more than five miles
0:01:18 > 0:01:31an hour. This things go. It goes good, yes, it guys good. Have a word
0:01:31 > 0:01:34with the council because there are not enough points to charge the
0:01:34 > 0:01:40thing.Have you run out of power anywhere?It is the chicken and egg,
0:01:40 > 0:01:46the cheaper the more like you are to get the points, it is good.You are
0:01:46 > 0:01:53green and when you go on tour, two buses.That is not so green.How
0:01:53 > 0:01:59does that work?There is is a good bus and bad bus, I can't go into the
0:01:59 > 0:02:02grizzly detail, you get the bad people on the bad bus, half way
0:02:02 > 0:02:07through the tour, the good people get bored and get on the bad bus.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Then we evacuate without telling them. As they drive off we are on
0:02:11 > 0:02:14the good bus.Which is your favourite?You can guess.I think I
0:02:14 > 0:02:20can. How do you work out who is on which bus to start with?We went on
0:02:20 > 0:02:24tour and we decided to go on the same bus together, lo and behold we
0:02:24 > 0:02:27got on all right. After all that.
0:02:27 > 0:02:28After all that.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Ever since The One Show has been on air, we have been bringing
0:02:31 > 0:02:33you often heart-breaking stories of people who have
0:02:33 > 0:02:34lost money to scams.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Today the boot is on the other foot.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Thousands of people now have a food chance of getting their money BACK.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41That's because a major money transfer company has admitted not
0:02:41 > 0:02:42doing enough to prevent fraud.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45If you think you might be affected, pay close attention to Dom,
0:02:45 > 0:02:48but if you are going to claim you'll have to be quick.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Fraudsters are always coming up with new ways to get their hands on our
0:02:58 > 0:03:03cash, the latest figures show more than a quarter of a million of us
0:03:03 > 0:03:08reported to Action Fraud in one year, I have good news, if you sent
0:03:08 > 0:03:13some money to a fraudster using Western Union, between the 1st
0:03:13 > 0:03:18January 2004, and the 19th January 2017, you have got a rare
0:03:18 > 0:03:25opportunity to get your money back. Scammers posed as family members or
0:03:25 > 0:03:29law enforcement officials, they even offered promise of prizes to trick
0:03:29 > 0:03:32victims into handing over cash. Of course those who paid monetary
0:03:32 > 0:03:37policy didn't receive what they were promised. Western Union admitted to
0:03:37 > 0:03:41criminally assisting wire fraud, and as a result, were forced to hand
0:03:41 > 0:03:45over millions of dollars to the US Government, to reimburse scam
0:03:45 > 0:03:49victims. And those refunds are available to
0:03:49 > 0:03:53victims here in the UK. I am off to help two people who are desperate to
0:03:53 > 0:04:01get their money back. Hello Keith, hello Anna. Nan was contacted by
0:04:01 > 0:04:06someone who promise a donation if she helped them send money to an
0:04:06 > 0:04:10orphanage in Africa.I thought that £10,000 would go to cancer, because
0:04:10 > 0:04:16I lost my dad the year before I was diagnosed with the cancer, so I was
0:04:16 > 0:04:22going to give the 10,000, split it between lung and breast cancer.She
0:04:22 > 0:04:26was sent two cheques round round 3,00 pounds. She was instrucked to
0:04:26 > 0:04:33cash them and send some of the funds to flick and the rest to an address
0:04:33 > 0:04:38in Sheffield using the transfer service Western Union. A few days
0:04:38 > 0:04:41later, the cheques were fraudulent and Anna was liable for the debt.
0:04:41 > 0:04:47How much of a worry was it?A big worry, don't have enough to pay the
0:04:47 > 0:04:55debt off, I feel mortified I was took in.What about your scam Keith?
0:04:55 > 0:05:01A friend was doing trading in Ghana, he was promised gold nuggets he he
0:05:01 > 0:05:06was paying in money, he said do you want to join in, I said yes.Over
0:05:06 > 0:05:09the next few weeks Keith transferred hundreds of pounds but didn't
0:05:09 > 0:05:15receive any gold. He tried to report to it the Ghana police online but
0:05:15 > 0:05:20instead Keith reached another scammer.For the police to help me,
0:05:20 > 0:05:25I needed to pay £500.There is one scammer who has managed to get money
0:05:25 > 0:05:29out of you and your friend, you have tried to speak to the police to sort
0:05:29 > 0:05:33things out and report it and they started scamming you, so it is two
0:05:33 > 0:05:39different scams all linked. Over the two scams Keith walked out round
0:05:39 > 0:05:44£8,000. Why do you think you got drawn in the way you did?At the
0:05:44 > 0:05:51time I was skint, I didn't have any money. My pension is nothing really,
0:05:51 > 0:05:58the worst thing I did, was actually cancel my life insurance.To pay for
0:05:58 > 0:06:03in scam. Let us see if we can get some of that money back.Yes please.
0:06:03 > 0:06:09Yes please.Time to apply for the refund, anyone in the world can

0:06:22 > 0:06:28the refunds to the UK. Keith and Anna are ready to start filling the

0:07:32 > 0:07:35And, on the subject of looking after your cash, Dom's working
0:07:35 > 0:07:38on a new series of the money makeover show Right on the Money
0:07:38 > 0:07:40and he needs people to take part.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Last time he saved Yvonne, an occupational therapist
0:07:42 > 0:07:44from Liverpool, almost £15,000 and Lizzie, a teacher
0:07:44 > 0:07:45from Kent, more than £13,000.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47That could be you this time, so email rightonthemoney@bbc.co.uk
0:07:47 > 0:07:55and it could change your life!
0:07:58 > 0:08:03We were talking about Madness in the early days and how shrewd you were
0:08:03 > 0:08:07at a bandIt is all there. It is looking at the words, get the right
0:08:07 > 0:08:13words right. The first time we were offered a record contract it said at
0:08:13 > 0:08:17the bottom in perpetuity, we went, I remember ringing my mum and saying
0:08:17 > 0:08:22what does that mean? She said a very long time. That is when we realised
0:08:22 > 0:08:26we didn't have to be in perpetuity, it could be ten year, whatever you
0:08:26 > 0:08:34want. There are bands, the kink, The Beatles lost all their songs because
0:08:34 > 0:08:42they didn't..., didn't ring their mum.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46mum.Suggestion does one man shows, this is how he remembers almost
0:08:46 > 0:08:54being sacked as the lead singer of the band.Semi professional north
0:08:54 > 0:08:58London band seek professionally minded singer. Hang on, that is
0:08:58 > 0:09:07Mike's phone number. Hello. Yes, I was enquiring about the job of
0:09:07 > 0:09:10singer in your band. Out of interest, what what has happened to
0:09:10 > 0:09:21the old one?We had to let him go. He's always down the football. Is
0:09:21 > 0:09:30that your Suggs?We could do with you back in the band.On drums.That
0:09:30 > 0:09:38is not done as a gag, that happened? It really happened. On drum, I went
0:09:38 > 0:09:43what's happened to John. He said he's auditioning for singer. He got
0:09:43 > 0:09:50the job of singer and I got sacked as drummer,So how did you end up
0:09:50 > 0:09:55back on the mic.The one who got the job went back to Ireland, I was the
0:09:55 > 0:10:00only one who knew the words to the song, they had have to have my back.
0:10:00 > 0:10:05So there is lots of funny stories like that, what turned out funny but
0:10:05 > 0:10:09you don't shy away from the darker stuff.The whole premise of the show
0:10:09 > 0:10:14was I got to 50. My kids left home, I thought it was time to evaluate my
0:10:14 > 0:10:19own life, so the premise, really is I didn't know my dad. He left when I
0:10:19 > 0:10:26was very young, I didn't know who he was, that was baggy trousers.That
0:10:26 > 0:10:30is another thing, the story of baggy trousers, you said about your dad
0:10:30 > 0:10:33thereA journey to discover what happened to my dad. It is an
0:10:33 > 0:10:37unfortunate story, I am sure it is one a lot of people know out there.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41Most of us case from disparate families and it wasn't perfect. But,
0:10:41 > 0:10:45I found out what happened to my dad, and got some kind of Chloe sure in
0:10:45 > 0:10:50that respect. But -- closure but it wasn't all good news.I like the
0:10:50 > 0:10:55style of it. You are doing a one man show, almost like a monologue, you
0:10:55 > 0:10:59do this journey, you have a pianist who is interacting with you as you
0:10:59 > 0:11:04go and you have inserts, these dramas, it is a great idea.Thank
0:11:04 > 0:11:09you, I was doing it, as I say as a stage show, a monologue, one man
0:11:09 > 0:11:16show, then I bumped into an old friend of mine, Julian Temple, he
0:11:16 > 0:11:23has curated my entire life. He said I tell you what would be great to
0:11:23 > 0:11:27take the show, rather than do a live DVD we could dramatise some of it,
0:11:27 > 0:11:32like you see me in the phone box and augment...You are in the bath at
0:11:32 > 0:11:43one point as well.I am not wearing Speedos! There is not much to see.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46He added some drama and animation and archive footage and then we
0:11:46 > 0:11:51tried to make it into something that has become a movie.That was based
0:11:51 > 0:11:54on the first one man show, the second one man show you are taking
0:11:54 > 0:12:00on tour soon, a life in the realm of madness. What are the maddest things
0:12:00 > 0:12:04that have happened to you that you can talk about at this hour of the
0:12:04 > 0:12:07evening.I am glad you made it clear. It was so successful they
0:12:07 > 0:12:11asked me to do another one, if the first was about how I got there, the
0:12:11 > 0:12:14second show is about what happens when you do get there, and of
0:12:14 > 0:12:18course, yes, what happens when you get there, everything and anything
0:12:18 > 0:12:25you could care to mention.Madness. The maddest things have happened to
0:12:25 > 0:12:30Madness, being on the roof of Buckingham Palace, I supported David
0:12:30 > 0:12:34Bowie in front of 250,000 people and fell off the front of the stage, you
0:12:34 > 0:12:41know. We played at the Las Vegas tent in Glastonbury which was the
0:12:41 > 0:12:45most out of the way bit of Glastonbury you can get. People had
0:12:45 > 0:12:54to put dinner jackets on and there was a Cassano.Are you surprised how
0:12:54 > 0:12:57enduring Madness had become. You didn't want to be performing past
0:12:57 > 0:13:03your 30, now it is is a big part of British music.Yes, of course I am.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07You know, I am grateful and privileged to be in this position.
0:13:07 > 0:13:13People stop me in the street. I realise every song we made had an
0:13:13 > 0:13:16impact on people's lives. But you know, having had the amount of hits
0:13:16 > 0:13:22we did, which was 20 or so, It is not that surprising that some
0:13:22 > 0:13:27resonance from that. I would say the great advantage for us is we were
0:13:27 > 0:13:32friends before the band started, so that gave us this grounding, that
0:13:32 > 0:13:36now allows us to tolerance to stop wanting to kill each other on a
0:13:36 > 0:13:41daily basis. As opposed to with other bands.You could sit and
0:13:41 > 0:13:45listen to you for hours and hours, but thaw is the whole point of the
0:13:45 > 0:13:50show. That is the point of the show, you are on tour to see all of us.
0:13:50 > 0:13:55The film is released in cinema's tomorrow and the tour starts at the
0:13:55 > 0:13:57end of the month.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Suggs isn't the only one looking back tonight -
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Christine's been at it too.
0:14:01 > 0:14:02She's got the story
0:14:02 > 0:14:04of what was intended to be a 1960s futuristic transport system,
0:14:04 > 0:14:11one which spectacularly failed to get off the ground.
0:14:11 > 0:14:18I am off to a city that was planned in secret. And boy, was it planned?
0:14:18 > 0:14:22In 1962, it was just farmland. Everything had to be designed from
0:14:22 > 0:14:27the ground up. At its heart was a futuristic public transport system.
0:14:27 > 0:14:34The plans for the new city are now in Buckingham Council archives.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Originally they were kept secret so that house prices on the site were
0:14:37 > 0:14:42not affected. It was officially known as North Bucks new city. In
0:14:42 > 0:14:46charge were two pioneering architects, Bill Barrett and Fred
0:14:46 > 0:14:54Pooley. So, it became known as Pooleyville. So, this is
0:14:54 > 0:15:02Pooleyville? It looks like something from a 1960s science fiction comic.
0:15:02 > 0:15:07Dominating it was a futuristic monorail, which led to its other
0:15:07 > 0:15:13nickname, Monorail City.You can see the monorail moving through here,
0:15:13 > 0:15:19and the idea was that the townships would be arranged in the shape of a
0:15:19 > 0:15:22butterfly, so nobody was more than seven minutes from a monorail
0:15:22 > 0:15:25station.They visited successful monorails around the world. This
0:15:25 > 0:15:32home movie shows Bill and Fred riding a monorail in Germany. The
0:15:32 > 0:15:37archive has dozens of files with detailed plans for the new city.The
0:15:37 > 0:15:41most important thing they wanted to do was to make sure that the car was
0:15:41 > 0:15:44not going to be king of this new city. The idea was that the monorail
0:15:44 > 0:15:53would be free.They finally went public in January 19 64. It is quite
0:15:53 > 0:15:57futuristic. What did people in Buckinghamshire think of that?A lot
0:15:57 > 0:16:00of people didn't really understand what he was trying to do. He was
0:16:00 > 0:16:04very keen on the idea. Obviously it didn't necessarily work out that
0:16:04 > 0:16:10way.Within three years, Bill and Fred's big adventure was over. The
0:16:10 > 0:16:13government decided planning a new city was too big and expensive for
0:16:13 > 0:16:20the County Council. Monorail City was scrapped. The site was taken
0:16:20 > 0:16:24over by a new organisation with a new plan, and a new name. The new
0:16:24 > 0:16:29city was called Milton Keynes Dons. It was named after one of the
0:16:29 > 0:16:36villages that was part of it. With its roundabouts and grid roads,
0:16:36 > 0:16:40Milton Keynes was built to embrace the motorcar. For 50 years, it has
0:16:40 > 0:16:45been one of Britain's fastest cities. This year, there is a new
0:16:45 > 0:16:53development, something that links Milton Keynes to the architects of
0:16:53 > 0:17:03Monorail City. Meet The Pod. This is it?Yes, it is a research and
0:17:03 > 0:17:10development autonomous pod. Want to try it out?This is quite exciting.
0:17:10 > 0:17:16It is part of an experiment designed to bring driverless vehicles to
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Milton Keynes Dons long before they appear on the roads. That is because
0:17:19 > 0:17:23here they will work on the red ways, Milton Keynes Dons Maka Unufe
0:17:23 > 0:17:29network of pedestrian and cycle path is. But it really is driverless.It
0:17:29 > 0:17:33is driving around a pre-mapped route in Milton Keynes Dons that is
0:17:33 > 0:17:39driving on its own, autonomously.
0:17:39 > 0:17:45They have radar, and a laser system. If it sees something it does not
0:17:45 > 0:17:53recognise, it makes a decision to react.Ahead is a pedestrian. Do you
0:17:53 > 0:17:56not think that might be a stumbling... Stumbling block! The
0:17:56 > 0:18:02emergency stop works. Soon, it will expand to over 20 pods, controlled
0:18:02 > 0:18:06by phone apps, with members of the public testing them out for the
0:18:06 > 0:18:11first time. But the idea isn't as new as it seems. Last year, shortly
0:18:11 > 0:18:18before his death, the team got a visit from none other than Monorail
0:18:18 > 0:18:22City architect, Bill Barrett, and he brought something to show them.He
0:18:22 > 0:18:28was a visionary. He had designs which he showed us, showing vehicles
0:18:28 > 0:18:32operating autonomously.He worked on these designs for driverless cars in
0:18:32 > 0:18:39the 1960s. He was delighted that, 50 years on, the idea had finally taken
0:18:39 > 0:18:40off. Their
0:18:40 > 0:18:48We're joined by a man who knows a thing or two about cars.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51It's Top Gear's Rory Reid.
0:18:51 > 0:18:5650 years ago, Bill Barrett was talking about driverless cars. How
0:18:56 > 0:19:00close is that to reality?Does not much if it is going to happen, it is
0:19:00 > 0:19:04when. We have had driverless cars tested in various forms all around
0:19:04 > 0:19:07the country and the world, but they have had to have human beings behind
0:19:07 > 0:19:12the wheel. That is all set to change very soon.Those look relatively
0:19:12 > 0:19:17normal. This, world's first driverless racing car, the Robo
0:19:17 > 0:19:23race, is a different kettle of fish. It is gorgeous, isn't it? It is a
0:19:23 > 0:19:28test bed. It participates in a bunch of human free racing. Robotic cars
0:19:28 > 0:19:33driving by themselves, at up to 200 mph. The idea is that they learn to
0:19:33 > 0:19:37interact with each other and a race track. If they can do that at 200
0:19:37 > 0:19:41mph, surely they will be able to do that at 30 mph on your local High
0:19:41 > 0:19:46Street.Extreme conditions to test every kind of eventuality?All
0:19:46 > 0:19:52around the car you can see cameras, radar sensors, lasers, GPS. It has a
0:19:52 > 0:19:57three and 60 degrees field of view. It can see everything, it records
0:19:57 > 0:20:00what it is doing and it learns. The idea being, when we are in
0:20:00 > 0:20:03driverless cars with a cabin, that we sit in, this thing has learned
0:20:03 > 0:20:08everything that could possibly happen.It looks like a pimped up
0:20:08 > 0:20:14version. Will the real driverless cars have those kind of attachments?
0:20:14 > 0:20:19Absolutely. The sensors are basically pretty easy to abdicate.
0:20:19 > 0:20:25Everything you see on this will go into normal autonomous cars. The
0:20:25 > 0:20:32difficulty is ensuring they are 100% safe. Right now they are talking
0:20:32 > 0:20:36about 1 million people that die every year in car crashes, 85% of
0:20:36 > 0:20:39those are caused by human error. Remove the human, you remove the
0:20:39 > 0:20:43danger. That is the idea, but it is a lot more complicated. You have
0:20:43 > 0:20:47things like insurance, you have to ensure the driver and the car, and
0:20:47 > 0:20:49then there is the ethical dilemma. What happens when a driverless car
0:20:49 > 0:20:57has to brake, or it will injure the driver? Does it swerve and injure a
0:20:57 > 0:21:02motorcyclist or a car full of four children? Summary has to programmed
0:21:02 > 0:21:08them to decide who it is going to hurt in the event of an accident. It
0:21:08 > 0:21:12sounds like the stuff of science fiction. It is a brave new world and
0:21:12 > 0:21:17it is happening in three years' time. These are going to be legal.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20It sounds bonkers, and I love it. Top Gear will be on our screens
0:21:20 > 0:21:22again very shortly.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Many of us will have filled our cars with rubbish
0:21:24 > 0:21:26for the tip over the holidays.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30Some of it will be soulless junk of course,
0:21:30 > 0:21:31but in Leeds Michael Douglas
0:21:31 > 0:21:34has been finding the treasure among the trash, and all of it
0:21:34 > 0:21:38has a story to tell.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42With the average UK household producing more than a tonne of waste
0:21:42 > 0:21:44every year, recycling centres like this one at Seacroft in Leeds see
0:21:44 > 0:21:50thousands of people weighing in every week. For some, it means
0:21:50 > 0:21:55letting go of the bygone days of youth, and the promise of stardom.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59We used to play in bands in the 90s, so I found lots of posters,
0:21:59 > 0:22:03photographs from bands and that kind of stuff. Part of me didn't want to
0:22:03 > 0:22:09throw that away. But I am leading a different life now, and we move on
0:22:09 > 0:22:14with different lives. A lot of that stuff, there is no room for it.
0:22:14 > 0:22:21Meanwhile, newlyweds Lee Sandell Matthew are starting a new adventure
0:22:21 > 0:22:25together.We are throwing away old bits of kitchen units and cabinets
0:22:25 > 0:22:31that we have taken out of the new house I have just bought.Nothing
0:22:31 > 0:22:36has been done with it for about 50 years. Hence why we are digging out
0:22:36 > 0:22:41the retro fireplace. As you can see, I am 35 weeks pregnant.Just hope we
0:22:41 > 0:22:46have everything ready in time. He doesn't want to stay in there much
0:22:46 > 0:22:50longer.We paid a visit to their new home to survey the damage.This year
0:22:50 > 0:22:55we have got pregnant, we have got married, we have the house and we
0:22:55 > 0:22:59are renovating it. We are doing everything everybody says you
0:22:59 > 0:23:06shouldn't do in one go, because it is stressful.We are worse that
0:23:06 > 0:23:10stress, and we are doing it in seven months? In another two weeks, we are
0:23:10 > 0:23:14going to be out of it. We have a lot of family support. I was the
0:23:14 > 0:23:19original partygoer. That was my life, really. Then I met Martin and
0:23:19 > 0:23:27started to settle down. This is a different type of lifestyle. It is
0:23:27 > 0:23:34exciting to be...Setting up our own new life.It is a new adventure for
0:23:34 > 0:23:38us, all go.Still got all of this to go. Another couple of days of
0:23:38 > 0:23:43running back and forth, I think.The recycling centre also has an on-site
0:23:43 > 0:23:47charity shop, where reusable goods can be brought and bought, where you
0:23:47 > 0:23:53can come up trumps with anything from sports gear...I have picked up
0:23:53 > 0:23:57some good top name Badminton rackets, which I use now. They are
0:23:57 > 0:24:03brilliant.To knick-knacks and bike pumps.This is a French one, so it
0:24:03 > 0:24:12should give a loss of out.For Gayle, her loss is their game.I
0:24:12 > 0:24:16have lost three stone since the beginning of the year, I got rid of
0:24:16 > 0:24:25all my size 16s and I am now size 12. I am getting a new wardrobe.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Brothers Michael and David have been clearing out their late mother's
0:24:28 > 0:24:33house.It is almost like a house clearance. Taking it all to the tip,
0:24:33 > 0:24:38and we wanted to bring it here. Our mother passed away a few years ago.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42Our brother lived there for a while. Then our brother passed away on
0:24:42 > 0:24:51Friday. So it is all of his stuff as well. This is my brother's. The
0:24:51 > 0:24:55lovely thing about it is that we didn't realise that our mother kept
0:24:55 > 0:24:57everything from when we were children.We didn't know it was
0:24:57 > 0:25:05there. Everything was kept. We have four sisters as well, helping. There
0:25:05 > 0:25:11was six of us at the time. It has been emotional, but...Has been good
0:25:11 > 0:25:15as well.It has been good fun as well.It is a different way of
0:25:15 > 0:25:20getting together as a family, but brings us closer.At least one of
0:25:20 > 0:25:24the donations has already found a home.Look at that! Definitely want
0:25:24 > 0:25:32that on the door.
0:25:36 > 0:25:42Just now, found that.Love, life and loss. All in a day's work for those
0:25:42 > 0:25:44of the Seacroft recycling centre.
0:25:47 > 0:25:53We enjoyed that.
0:25:53 > 0:25:58Suggs are you good at chucking stuff? What are you a hoarder?I
0:25:58 > 0:26:02have chipped away at every opportunity I have hard!Alongside
0:26:02 > 0:26:08the plastic, Lindsey is here. We are turning the tide on plastic for
0:26:08 > 0:26:162018. The last time we saw you, you had a bee in your bonnet about
0:26:16 > 0:26:21straws?On the list of things polluting the ocean, they are number
0:26:21 > 0:26:27seven.I was out with my daughters, we are all vegan. I didn't realise
0:26:27 > 0:26:36it was actually a straw.I will ask you to try that again. This is an
0:26:36 > 0:26:44alternative, bio plastic.It works, I got some fluid in my mouth. I am
0:26:44 > 0:26:48not saying it is perfect. A drop of vodka, that would have been
0:26:48 > 0:26:56beautiful.That works. Guess what that is made from. I will tell you.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00Chewing gum?Sugar beet. It is a Belgian scientist, who has dedicated
0:27:00 > 0:27:06his professional life to coming up with different alternatives. He says
0:27:06 > 0:27:09use local plastic. Wherever you are, you can use sugar beet, different
0:27:09 > 0:27:18types of grass, trees, it works.And compostable?Yes, in a home compost
0:27:18 > 0:27:22bin.We were laughing about whether or not people would be able to get
0:27:22 > 0:27:27rid of plastic cups, paper cups? Guillermo Roan last week, I
0:27:27 > 0:27:30recommended people carry their own, not everybody wanted to do it
0:27:30 > 0:27:34because they might get coffee in the handbag. This is a great solution, a
0:27:34 > 0:27:38Suffolk -based firm that recognised that only one in 400 coffee cups, we
0:27:38 > 0:27:43get through 2.5 billion of these each year, were being recycled. It
0:27:43 > 0:27:48is a paper cup. The plastic in it, which most of us didn't know was
0:27:48 > 0:27:53there, they can separate it really easily at the paper mill. That means
0:27:53 > 0:27:58it can go into any normal paper recycling bin. These are coming on
0:27:58 > 0:28:01stream in independent coffee shops in February. I am excited about
0:28:01 > 0:28:08that.We are celebrating other good practice?Some of the big guys are
0:28:08 > 0:28:12doing really well.Some of my mates are going around with the ones you
0:28:12 > 0:28:16don't throw away. Almost embarrassed, saying, could you put
0:28:16 > 0:28:23my coffee in there?No, be proud! Everybody is doing it, Iceland
0:28:23 > 0:28:27announced today they are eliminating plastic in their supply chain, the
0:28:27 > 0:28:32supermarket, not the country, by 2023 for own brand products. That is
0:28:32 > 0:28:35really good, it includes those funny black plastic trays that you
0:28:35 > 0:28:42microwave meals in.That's it, I am putting the next Madness album out
0:28:42 > 0:28:50on banana skins!Very quickly, a couple of heroes must notNile clerk
0:28:50 > 0:28:54from Tunbridge Wells works in a fruit and veg shop, and everything
0:28:54 > 0:28:57apart from some salad items are completely plastic free. Bernadette
0:28:57 > 0:29:01went to Thailand on holiday and spent every day picking up plastic
0:29:01 > 0:29:13from the beach.We love Her!
0:29:13 > 0:29:22And thank you to Suggs as well for your stories.It is our planet!
0:29:22 > 0:29:27His new one man show, King Canute: A Life in the Realm
0:29:27 > 0:29:29of Madness, starts on 31st January.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31We'll have our house in order tomorrow as Phil
0:29:31 > 0:29:33and Kirstie will be joining us.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35And Alex will be here as well.
