Hello, and welcome to

The One Show, with Matt Baker.

0:00:180:00:21

And Angela Scanlon.

0:00:210:00:25

Now remember this?

0:00:250:00:27

It was the moment last

Thursday Lucy Siegle challenged

0:00:270:00:29

Gordon Ramsay to ditch plastic

straws in his restaurants.

0:00:290:00:32

She's back with an update on that

and how the rest of us are waking up

0:00:320:00:36

to the call to Turn

the Plastic Tide in 2018.

0:00:360:00:39

She won't be ambushing

tonight's guest though.

0:00:390:00:40

He already switched

to an electric car,

0:00:400:00:42

although it's not as fast

as this

0:00:420:00:44

one which Top Gear's Rory Reid

0:00:440:00:46

will be showcasing later.

0:00:460:00:53

From Madness - It's Suggs!

0:00:530:00:57

APPLAUSE

Hello. So, we have said you are

0:00:570:01:04

going green, you have an electric

car, how is life with it?

Good, from

0:01:040:01:08

the days of the milk float, things

have come on. I can tell you. I

0:01:080:01:14

worked on a milk float as a kid,

they didn't go more than five miles

0:01:140:01:18

an hour. This things go. It goes

good, yes, it guys good. Have a word

0:01:180:01:31

with the council because there are

not enough points to charge the

0:01:310:01:34

thing.

Have you run out of power

anywhere?

It is the chicken and egg,

0:01:340:01:40

the cheaper the more like you are to

get the points, it is good.

You are

0:01:400:01:46

green and when you go on tour, two

buses.

That is not so green.

How

0:01:460:01:53

does that work?

There is is a good

bus and bad bus, I can't go into the

0:01:530:01:59

grizzly detail, you get the bad

people on the bad bus, half way

0:01:590:02:02

through the tour, the good people

get bored and get on the bad bus.

0:02:020:02:07

Then we evacuate without telling

them. As they drive off we are on

0:02:070:02:11

the good bus.

Which is your

favourite?

You can guess.

I think I

0:02:110:02:14

can. How do you work out who is on

which bus to start with?

We went on

0:02:140:02:20

tour and we decided to go on the

same bus together, lo and behold we

0:02:200:02:24

got on all right. After all that.

0:02:240:02:27

After all that.

0:02:270:02:28

Ever since The One Show has been

on air, we have been bringing

0:02:280:02:31

you often heart-breaking stories

of people who have

0:02:310:02:33

lost money to scams.

0:02:330:02:34

Today the boot is on the other foot.

0:02:340:02:36

Thousands of people now have a food

chance of getting their money BACK.

0:02:360:02:39

That's because a major money

transfer company has admitted not

0:02:390:02:41

doing enough to prevent fraud.

0:02:410:02:42

If you think you might be affected,

pay close attention to Dom,

0:02:420:02:45

but if you are going to claim you'll

have to be quick.

0:02:450:02:48

Fraudsters are always coming up with

new ways to get their hands on our

0:02:550:02:58

cash, the latest figures show more

than a quarter of a million of us

0:02:580:03:03

reported to Action Fraud in one

year, I have good news, if you sent

0:03:030:03:08

some money to a fraudster using

Western Union, between the 1st

0:03:080:03:13

January 2004, and the 19th January

2017, you have got a rare

0:03:130:03:18

opportunity to get your money back.

Scammers posed as family members or

0:03:180:03:25

law enforcement officials, they even

offered promise of prizes to trick

0:03:250:03:29

victims into handing over cash. Of

course those who paid monetary

0:03:290:03:32

policy didn't receive what they were

promised. Western Union admitted to

0:03:320:03:37

criminally assisting wire fraud, and

as a result, were forced to hand

0:03:370:03:41

over millions of dollars to the US

Government, to reimburse scam

0:03:410:03:45

victims.

And those refunds are available to

0:03:450:03:49

victims here in the UK. I am off to

help two people who are desperate to

0:03:490:03:53

get their money back. Hello Keith,

hello Anna. Nan was contacted by

0:03:530:04:01

someone who promise a donation if

she helped them send money to an

0:04:010:04:06

orphanage in Africa.

I thought that

£10,000 would go to cancer, because

0:04:060:04:10

I lost my dad the year before I was

diagnosed with the cancer, so I was

0:04:100:04:16

going to give the 10,000, split it

between lung and breast cancer.

She

0:04:160:04:22

was sent two cheques round round

3,00 pounds. She was instrucked to

0:04:220:04:26

cash them and send some of the funds

to flick and the rest to an address

0:04:260:04:33

in Sheffield using the transfer

service Western Union. A few days

0:04:330:04:38

later, the cheques were fraudulent

and Anna was liable for the debt.

0:04:380:04:41

How much of a worry was it?

A big

worry, don't have enough to pay the

0:04:410:04:47

debt off, I feel mortified I was

took in.

What about your scam Keith?

0:04:470:04:55

A friend was doing trading in Ghana,

he was promised gold nuggets he he

0:04:550:05:01

was paying in money, he said do you

want to join in, I said yes.

Over

0:05:010:05:06

the next few weeks Keith transferred

hundreds of pounds but didn't

0:05:060:05:09

receive any gold. He tried to report

to it the Ghana police online but

0:05:090:05:15

instead Keith reached another

scammer.

For the police to help me,

0:05:150:05:20

I needed to pay £500.

There is one

scammer who has managed to get money

0:05:200:05:25

out of you and your friend, you have

tried to speak to the police to sort

0:05:250:05:29

things out and report it and they

started scamming you, so it is two

0:05:290:05:33

different scams all linked. Over the

two scams Keith walked out round

0:05:330:05:39

£8,000. Why do you think you got

drawn in the way you did?

At the

0:05:390:05:44

time I was skint, I didn't have any

money. My pension is nothing really,

0:05:440:05:51

the worst thing I did, was actually

cancel my life insurance.

To pay for

0:05:510:05:58

in scam. Let us see if we can get

some of that money back.

Yes please.

0:05:580:06:03

Yes please.

Time to apply for the

refund, anyone in the world can

0:06:030:06:09

apply online or by post, Anna and

Keith have decided to meet us here

0:06:090:06:14

in Runcorn where they are going to

fill their applications out with us.

0:06:140:06:19

Trading Standards manager Deena was

the first to break the news about

0:06:190:06:22

the refunds to the UK. Keith and

Anna are ready to start filling the

0:06:220:06:28

forms in, what is the most important

thing people should know?

0:06:280:06:32

the correct website which is western

ewe in addition remission.

0:06:320:06:35

no fees at all for this, so if any

site asks you for money it is a scam

0:06:350:06:40

Ly.

To make the

application as strong as possible

0:06:400:06:43

they will need to upload evidence of

their transfers to prove they have

0:06:430:06:47

been scammed.

How you getting on an that?

Fine.

0:06:470:06:51

Plain sailing is.

The form is

designed for American citizen,

0:06:510:06:56

ignore the dollar sign.

People

aren't guaranteed to get the full

0:06:560:07:01

amount back.

No, depend on how many

claim and how many can be validated.

0:07:010:07:08

Good luck guys. If you have been

Let us know how you get on.

0:07:300:07:32

And, on the subject of looking

after your cash, Dom's working

0:07:320:07:35

on a new series of the money

makeover show Right on the Money

0:07:350:07:38

and he needs people to take part.

0:07:380:07:40

Last time he saved Yvonne,

an occupational therapist

0:07:400:07:42

from Liverpool, almost £15,000

and Lizzie, a teacher

0:07:420:07:44

from Kent, more than £13,000.

0:07:440:07:45

That could be you this time,

so email [email protected]

0:07:450:07:47

and it could change your life!

0:07:470:07:55

We were talking about Madness in the

early days and how shrewd you were

0:07:580:08:03

at a band

It is all there. It is

looking at the words, get the right

0:08:030:08:07

words right. The first time we were

offered a record contract it said at

0:08:070:08:13

the bottom in perpetuity, we went, I

remember ringing my mum and saying

0:08:130:08:17

what does that mean? She said a very

long time. That is when we realised

0:08:170:08:22

we didn't have to be in perpetuity,

it could be ten year, whatever you

0:08:220:08:26

want. There are bands, the kink, The

Beatles lost all their songs because

0:08:260:08:34

they didn't..., didn't ring their

mum.

0:08:340:08:42

mum.

Suggestion does one man shows,

this is how he remembers almost

0:08:420:08:46

being sacked as the lead singer of

the band.

Semi professional north

0:08:460:08:54

London band seek professionally

minded singer. Hang on, that is

0:08:540:08:58

Mike's phone number. Hello. Yes, I

was enquiring about the job of

0:08:580:09:07

singer in your band. Out of

interest, what what has happened to

0:09:070:09:10

the old one?

We had to let him go.

He's always down the football. Is

0:09:100:09:21

that your Suggs?

We could do with

you back in the band.

On drums.

That

0:09:210:09:30

is not done as a gag, that happened?

It really happened. On drum, I went

0:09:300:09:38

what's happened to John. He said

he's auditioning for singer. He got

0:09:380:09:43

the job of singer and I got sacked

as drummer,

So how did you end up

0:09:430:09:50

back on the mic.

The one who got the

job went back to Ireland, I was the

0:09:500:09:55

only one who knew the words to the

song, they had have to have my back.

0:09:550:10:00

So there is lots of funny stories

like that, what turned out funny but

0:10:000:10:05

you don't shy away from the darker

stuff.

The whole premise of the show

0:10:050:10:09

was I got to 50. My kids left home,

I thought it was time to evaluate my

0:10:090:10:14

own life, so the premise, really is

I didn't know my dad. He left when I

0:10:140:10:19

was very young, I didn't know who he

was, that was baggy trousers.

That

0:10:190:10:26

is another thing, the story of baggy

trousers, you said about your dad

0:10:260:10:30

there

A journey to discover what

happened to my dad. It is an

0:10:300:10:33

unfortunate story, I am sure it is

one a lot of people know out there.

0:10:330:10:37

Most of us case from disparate

families and it wasn't perfect. But,

0:10:370:10:41

I found out what happened to my dad,

and got some kind of Chloe sure in

0:10:410:10:45

that respect. But -- closure but it

wasn't all good news.

I like the

0:10:450:10:50

style of it. You are doing a one man

show, almost like a monologue, you

0:10:500:10:55

do this journey, you have a pianist

who is interacting with you as you

0:10:550:10:59

go and you have inserts, these

dramas, it is a great idea.

Thank

0:10:590:11:04

you, I was doing it, as I say as a

stage show, a monologue, one man

0:11:040:11:09

show, then I bumped into an old

friend of mine, Julian Temple, he

0:11:090:11:16

has curated my entire life. He said

I tell you what would be great to

0:11:160:11:23

take the show, rather than do a live

DVD we could dramatise some of it,

0:11:230:11:27

like you see me in the phone box and

augment...

You are in the bath at

0:11:270:11:32

one point as well.

I am not wearing

Speedos! There is not much to see.

0:11:320:11:43

He added some drama and animation

and archive footage and then we

0:11:430:11:46

tried to make it into something that

has become a movie.

That was based

0:11:460:11:51

on the first one man show, the

second one man show you are taking

0:11:510:11:54

on tour soon, a life in the realm of

madness. What are the maddest things

0:11:540:12:00

that have happened to you that you

can talk about at this hour of the

0:12:000:12:04

evening.

I am glad you made it

clear. It was so successful they

0:12:040:12:07

asked me to do another one, if the

first was about how I got there, the

0:12:070:12:11

second show is about what happens

when you do get there, and of

0:12:110:12:14

course, yes, what happens when you

get there, everything and anything

0:12:140:12:18

you could care to mention.

Madness.

The maddest things have happened to

0:12:180:12:25

Madness, being on the roof of

Buckingham Palace, I supported David

0:12:250:12:30

Bowie in front of 250,000 people and

fell off the front of the stage, you

0:12:300:12:34

know. We played at the Las Vegas

tent in Glastonbury which was the

0:12:340:12:41

most out of the way bit of

Glastonbury you can get. People had

0:12:410:12:45

to put dinner jackets on and there

was a Cassano.

Are you surprised how

0:12:450:12:54

enduring Madness had become. You

didn't want to be performing past

0:12:540:12:57

your 30, now it is is a big part of

British music.

Yes, of course I am.

0:12:570:13:03

You know, I am grateful and

privileged to be in this position.

0:13:030:13:07

People stop me in the street. I

realise every song we made had an

0:13:070:13:13

impact on people's lives. But you

know, having had the amount of hits

0:13:130:13:16

we did, which was 20 or so, It is

not that surprising that some

0:13:160:13:22

resonance from that. I would say the

great advantage for us is we were

0:13:220:13:27

friends before the band started, so

that gave us this grounding, that

0:13:270:13:32

now allows us to tolerance to stop

wanting to kill each other on a

0:13:320:13:36

daily basis. As opposed to with

other bands.

You could sit and

0:13:360:13:41

listen to you for hours and hours,

but thaw is the whole point of the

0:13:410:13:45

show. That is the point of the show,

you are on tour to see all of us.

0:13:450:13:50

The film is released in cinema's

tomorrow and the tour starts at the

0:13:500:13:55

end of the month.

0:13:550:13:57

Suggs isn't the only one

looking back tonight -

0:13:570:13:59

Christine's been at it too.

0:13:590:14:01

She's got the story

0:14:010:14:02

of what was intended to be a 1960s

futuristic transport system,

0:14:020:14:04

one which spectacularly failed

to get off the ground.

0:14:040:14:11

I am off to a city that was planned

in secret. And boy, was it planned?

0:14:110:14:18

In 1962, it was just farmland.

Everything had to be designed from

0:14:180:14:22

the ground up. At its heart was a

futuristic public transport system.

0:14:220:14:27

The plans for the new city are now

in Buckingham Council archives.

0:14:270:14:34

Originally they were kept secret so

that house prices on the site were

0:14:340:14:37

not affected. It was officially

known as North Bucks new city. In

0:14:370:14:42

charge were two pioneering

architects, Bill Barrett and Fred

0:14:420:14:46

Pooley. So, it became known as

Pooleyville. So, this is

0:14:460:14:54

Pooleyville? It looks like something

from a 1960s science fiction comic.

0:14:540:15:02

Dominating it was a futuristic

monorail, which led to its other

0:15:020:15:07

nickname, Monorail City.

You can see

the monorail moving through here,

0:15:070:15:13

and the idea was that the townships

would be arranged in the shape of a

0:15:130:15:19

butterfly, so nobody was more than

seven minutes from a monorail

0:15:190:15:22

station.

They visited successful

monorails around the world. This

0:15:220:15:25

home movie shows Bill and Fred

riding a monorail in Germany. The

0:15:250:15:32

archive has dozens of files with

detailed plans for the new city.

The

0:15:320:15:37

most important thing they wanted to

do was to make sure that the car was

0:15:370:15:41

not going to be king of this new

city. The idea was that the monorail

0:15:410:15:44

would be free.

They finally went

public in January 19 64. It is quite

0:15:440:15:53

futuristic. What did people in

Buckinghamshire think of that?

A lot

0:15:530:15:57

of people didn't really understand

what he was trying to do. He was

0:15:570:16:00

very keen on the idea. Obviously it

didn't necessarily work out that

0:16:000:16:04

way.

Within three years, Bill and

Fred's big adventure was over. The

0:16:040:16:10

government decided planning a new

city was too big and expensive for

0:16:100:16:13

the County Council. Monorail City

was scrapped. The site was taken

0:16:130:16:20

over by a new organisation with a

new plan, and a new name. The new

0:16:200:16:24

city was called Milton Keynes Dons.

It was named after one of the

0:16:240:16:29

villages that was part of it. With

its roundabouts and grid roads,

0:16:290:16:36

Milton Keynes was built to embrace

the motorcar. For 50 years, it has

0:16:360:16:40

been one of Britain's fastest

cities. This year, there is a new

0:16:400:16:45

development, something that links

Milton Keynes to the architects of

0:16:450:16:53

Monorail City. Meet The Pod. This is

it?

Yes, it is a research and

0:16:530:17:03

development autonomous pod. Want to

try it out?

This is quite exciting.

0:17:030:17:10

It is part of an experiment designed

to bring driverless vehicles to

0:17:100:17:16

Milton Keynes Dons long before they

appear on the roads. That is because

0:17:160:17:19

here they will work on the red ways,

Milton Keynes Dons Maka Unufe

0:17:190:17:23

network of pedestrian and cycle path

is. But it really is driverless.

It

0:17:230:17:29

is driving around a pre-mapped route

in Milton Keynes Dons that is

0:17:290:17:33

driving on its own, autonomously.

0:17:330:17:39

They have radar, and a laser system.

If it sees something it does not

0:17:390:17:45

recognise, it makes a decision to

react.

Ahead is a pedestrian. Do you

0:17:450:17:53

not think that might be a

stumbling... Stumbling block! The

0:17:530:17:56

emergency stop works. Soon, it will

expand to over 20 pods, controlled

0:17:560:18:02

by phone apps, with members of the

public testing them out for the

0:18:020:18:06

first time. But the idea isn't as

new as it seems. Last year, shortly

0:18:060:18:11

before his death, the team got a

visit from none other than Monorail

0:18:110:18:18

City architect, Bill Barrett, and he

brought something to show them.

He

0:18:180:18:22

was a visionary. He had designs

which he showed us, showing vehicles

0:18:220:18:28

operating autonomously.

He worked on

these designs for driverless cars in

0:18:280:18:32

the 1960s. He was delighted that, 50

years on, the idea had finally taken

0:18:320:18:39

off. Their

0:18:390:18:40

We're joined by a man who knows

a thing or two about cars.

0:18:400:18:48

It's Top Gear's Rory Reid.

0:18:480:18:51

50 years ago, Bill Barrett was

talking about driverless cars. How

0:18:510:18:56

close is that to reality?

Does not

much if it is going to happen, it is

0:18:560:19:00

when. We have had driverless cars

tested in various forms all around

0:19:000:19:04

the country and the world, but they

have had to have human beings behind

0:19:040:19:07

the wheel. That is all set to change

very soon.

Those look relatively

0:19:070:19:12

normal. This, world's first

driverless racing car, the Robo

0:19:120:19:17

race, is a different kettle of fish.

It is gorgeous, isn't it? It is a

0:19:170:19:23

test bed. It participates in a bunch

of human free racing. Robotic cars

0:19:230:19:28

driving by themselves, at up to 200

mph. The idea is that they learn to

0:19:280:19:33

interact with each other and a race

track. If they can do that at 200

0:19:330:19:37

mph, surely they will be able to do

that at 30 mph on your local High

0:19:370:19:41

Street.

Extreme conditions to test

every kind of eventuality?

All

0:19:410:19:46

around the car you can see cameras,

radar sensors, lasers, GPS. It has a

0:19:460:19:52

three and 60 degrees field of view.

It can see everything, it records

0:19:520:19:57

what it is doing and it learns. The

idea being, when we are in

0:19:570:20:00

driverless cars with a cabin, that

we sit in, this thing has learned

0:20:000:20:03

everything that could possibly

happen.

It looks like a pimped up

0:20:030:20:08

version. Will the real driverless

cars have those kind of attachments?

0:20:080:20:14

Absolutely. The sensors are

basically pretty easy to abdicate.

0:20:140:20:19

Everything you see on this will go

into normal autonomous cars. The

0:20:190:20:25

difficulty is ensuring they are 100%

safe. Right now they are talking

0:20:250:20:32

about 1 million people that die

every year in car crashes, 85% of

0:20:320:20:36

those are caused by human error.

Remove the human, you remove the

0:20:360:20:39

danger. That is the idea, but it is

a lot more complicated. You have

0:20:390:20:43

things like insurance, you have to

ensure the driver and the car, and

0:20:430:20:47

then there is the ethical dilemma.

What happens when a driverless car

0:20:470:20:49

has to brake, or it will injure the

driver? Does it swerve and injure a

0:20:490:20:57

motorcyclist or a car full of four

children? Summary has to programmed

0:20:570:21:02

them to decide who it is going to

hurt in the event of an accident. It

0:21:020:21:08

sounds like the stuff of science

fiction. It is a brave new world and

0:21:080:21:12

it is happening in three years'

time. These are going to be legal.

0:21:120:21:17

It sounds bonkers, and I love it.

Top Gear will be on our screens

0:21:170:21:20

again very shortly.

0:21:200:21:22

Many of us will have

filled our cars with rubbish

0:21:220:21:24

for the tip over the holidays.

0:21:240:21:26

Some of it will be

soulless junk of course,

0:21:260:21:30

but in Leeds Michael Douglas

0:21:300:21:31

has been finding the treasure among

the trash, and all of it

0:21:310:21:34

has a story to tell.

0:21:340:21:38

With the average UK household

producing more than a tonne of waste

0:21:380:21:42

every year, recycling centres like

this one at Seacroft in Leeds see

0:21:420:21:44

thousands of people weighing in

every week. For some, it means

0:21:440:21:50

letting go of the bygone days of

youth, and the promise of stardom.

0:21:500:21:55

We used to play in bands in the 90s,

so I found lots of posters,

0:21:550:21:59

photographs from bands and that kind

of stuff. Part of me didn't want to

0:21:590:22:03

throw that away. But I am leading a

different life now, and we move on

0:22:030:22:09

with different lives. A lot of that

stuff, there is no room for it.

0:22:090:22:14

Meanwhile, newlyweds Lee Sandell

Matthew are starting a new adventure

0:22:140:22:21

together.

We are throwing away old

bits of kitchen units and cabinets

0:22:210:22:25

that we have taken out of the new

house I have just bought.

Nothing

0:22:250:22:31

has been done with it for about 50

years. Hence why we are digging out

0:22:310:22:36

the retro fireplace. As you can see,

I am 35 weeks pregnant.

Just hope we

0:22:360:22:41

have everything ready in time. He

doesn't want to stay in there much

0:22:410:22:46

longer.

We paid a visit to their new

home to survey the damage.

This year

0:22:460:22:50

we have got pregnant, we have got

married, we have the house and we

0:22:500:22:55

are renovating it. We are doing

everything everybody says you

0:22:550:22:59

shouldn't do in one go, because it

is stressful.

We are worse that

0:22:590:23:06

stress, and we are doing it in seven

months? In another two weeks, we are

0:23:060:23:10

going to be out of it. We have a lot

of family support. I was the

0:23:100:23:14

original partygoer. That was my

life, really. Then I met Martin and

0:23:140:23:19

started to settle down. This is a

different type of lifestyle. It is

0:23:190:23:27

exciting to be...

Setting up our own

new life.

It is a new adventure for

0:23:270:23:34

us, all go.

Still got all of this to

go. Another couple of days of

0:23:340:23:38

running back and forth, I think.

The

recycling centre also has an on-site

0:23:380:23:43

charity shop, where reusable goods

can be brought and bought, where you

0:23:430:23:47

can come up trumps with anything

from sports gear...

I have picked up

0:23:470:23:53

some good top name Badminton

rackets, which I use now. They are

0:23:530:23:57

brilliant.

To knick-knacks and bike

pumps.

This is a French one, so it

0:23:570:24:03

should give a loss of out.

For

Gayle, her loss is their game.

I

0:24:030:24:12

have lost three stone since the

beginning of the year, I got rid of

0:24:120:24:16

all my size 16s and I am now size

12. I am getting a new wardrobe.

0:24:160:24:25

Brothers Michael and David have been

clearing out their late mother's

0:24:250:24:28

house.

It is almost like a house

clearance. Taking it all to the tip,

0:24:280:24:33

and we wanted to bring it here. Our

mother passed away a few years ago.

0:24:330:24:38

Our brother lived there for a while.

Then our brother passed away on

0:24:380:24:42

Friday. So it is all of his stuff as

well. This is my brother's. The

0:24:420:24:51

lovely thing about it is that we

didn't realise that our mother kept

0:24:510:24:55

everything from when we were

children.

We didn't know it was

0:24:550:24:57

there. Everything was kept. We have

four sisters as well, helping. There

0:24:570:25:05

was six of us at the time. It has

been emotional, but...

Has been good

0:25:050:25:11

as well.

It has been good fun as

well.

It is a different way of

0:25:110:25:15

getting together as a family, but

brings us closer.

At least one of

0:25:150:25:20

the donations has already found a

home.

Look at that! Definitely want

0:25:200:25:24

that on the door.

0:25:240:25:32

Just now, found that.

Love, life and

loss. All in a day's work for those

0:25:360:25:42

of the Seacroft recycling centre.

0:25:420:25:44

We enjoyed that.

0:25:470:25:53

Suggs are you good at chucking

stuff? What are you a hoarder?

I

0:25:530:25:58

have chipped away at every

opportunity I have hard!

Alongside

0:25:580:26:02

the plastic, Lindsey is here. We are

turning the tide on plastic for

0:26:020:26:08

2018. The last time we saw you, you

had a bee in your bonnet about

0:26:080:26:16

straws?

On the list of things

polluting the ocean, they are number

0:26:160:26:21

seven.

I was out with my daughters,

we are all vegan. I didn't realise

0:26:210:26:27

it was actually a straw.

I will ask

you to try that again. This is an

0:26:270:26:36

alternative, bio plastic.

It works,

I got some fluid in my mouth. I am

0:26:360:26:44

not saying it is perfect. A drop of

vodka, that would have been

0:26:440:26:48

beautiful.

That works. Guess what

that is made from. I will tell you.

0:26:480:26:56

Chewing gum?

Sugar beet. It is a

Belgian scientist, who has dedicated

0:26:560:27:00

his professional life to coming up

with different alternatives. He says

0:27:000:27:06

use local plastic. Wherever you are,

you can use sugar beet, different

0:27:060:27:09

types of grass, trees, it works.

And

compostable?

Yes, in a home compost

0:27:090:27:18

bin.

We were laughing about whether

or not people would be able to get

0:27:180:27:22

rid of plastic cups, paper cups?

Guillermo Roan last week, I

0:27:220:27:27

recommended people carry their own,

not everybody wanted to do it

0:27:270:27:30

because they might get coffee in the

handbag. This is a great solution, a

0:27:300:27:34

Suffolk -based firm that recognised

that only one in 400 coffee cups, we

0:27:340:27:38

get through 2.5 billion of these

each year, were being recycled. It

0:27:380:27:43

is a paper cup. The plastic in it,

which most of us didn't know was

0:27:430:27:48

there, they can separate it really

easily at the paper mill. That means

0:27:480:27:53

it can go into any normal paper

recycling bin. These are coming on

0:27:530:27:58

stream in independent coffee shops

in February. I am excited about

0:27:580:28:01

that.

We are celebrating other good

practice?

Some of the big guys are

0:28:010:28:08

doing really well.

Some of my mates

are going around with the ones you

0:28:080:28:12

don't throw away. Almost

embarrassed, saying, could you put

0:28:120:28:16

my coffee in there?

No, be proud!

Everybody is doing it, Iceland

0:28:160:28:23

announced today they are eliminating

plastic in their supply chain, the

0:28:230:28:27

supermarket, not the country, by

2023 for own brand products. That is

0:28:270:28:32

really good, it includes those funny

black plastic trays that you

0:28:320:28:35

microwave meals in.

That's it, I am

putting the next Madness album out

0:28:350:28:42

on banana skins!

Very quickly, a

couple of heroes must not

Nile clerk

0:28:420:28:50

from Tunbridge Wells works in a

fruit and veg shop, and everything

0:28:500:28:54

apart from some salad items are

completely plastic free. Bernadette

0:28:540:28:57

went to Thailand on holiday and

spent every day picking up plastic

0:28:570:29:01

from the beach.

We love Her!

0:29:010:29:13

And thank you to Suggs as well for

your stories.

It is our planet!

0:29:130:29:22

His new one man show,

King Canute: A Life in the Realm

0:29:220:29:27

of Madness, starts on 31st January.

0:29:270:29:29

We'll have our house

in order tomorrow as Phil

0:29:290:29:31

and Kirstie will be joining us.

0:29:310:29:33

And Alex will be here as well.
