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

Keith have decided to meet us here | 0:06:09 | 0:06:14 | |
in Runcorn where they are going to

Trading Standards manager Deena was
the first to break the news about | 0:06:19 | 0:06:22 | |

Anna are ready to start filling the | 0:06:22 | 0:06:28 | |

ewe in addition remission. There is | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |

site. Site. Ly. To make the
application as strong as possible | 0:06:40 | 0:06:43 | |
they will need to upload evidence of
their transfers to prove they have | 0:06:43 | 0:06:47 | |
been scammed.
How you getting on an that? Fine. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:51 | |
Plain sailing is. The form is
designed for American citizen, | 0:06:51 | 0:06:56 | |
ignore the dollar sign. People
aren't guaranteed to get the full | 0:06:56 | 0:07:01 | |
amount back. No, depend on how many
claim and how many can be validated. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:08 | |

And, on the subject of looking
after your cash, Dom's working | 0:07:32 | 0:07:35 | |
on a new series of the money
makeover show Right on the Money | 0:07:35 | 0:07:38 | |

Last time he saved Yvonne,
an occupational therapist | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
from Liverpool, almost £15,000
and Lizzie, a teacher | 0:07:42 | 0:07:44 | |
from Kent, more than £13,000. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:45 | |
That could be you this time,
so email [email protected] | 0:07:45 | 0:07:47 | |
and it could change your life! | 0:07:47 | 0:07:55 | |
We were talking about Madness in the
early days and how shrewd you were | 0:07:58 | 0:08:03 | |
at a band It is all there. It is
looking at the words, get the right | 0:08:03 | 0:08:07 | |
words right. The first time we were
offered a record contract it said at | 0:08:07 | 0:08:13 | |
the bottom in perpetuity, we went, I
remember ringing my mum and saying | 0:08:13 | 0:08:17 | |
what does that mean? She said a very
long time. That is when we realised | 0:08:17 | 0:08:22 | |
we didn't have to be in perpetuity,
it could be ten year, whatever you | 0:08:22 | 0:08:26 | |
want. There are bands, the kink, The
Beatles lost all their songs because | 0:08:26 | 0:08:34 | |
they didn't..., didn't ring their
mum. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:42 | |
mum. Suggestion does one man shows,
this is how he remembers almost | 0:08:42 | 0:08:46 | |
being sacked as the lead singer of
the band. Semi professional north | 0:08:46 | 0:08:54 | |
London band seek professionally
minded singer. Hang on, that is | 0:08:54 | 0:08:58 | |
Mike's phone number. Hello. Yes, I
was enquiring about the job of | 0:08:58 | 0:09:07 | |
singer in your band. Out of
interest, what what has happened to | 0:09:07 | 0:09:10 | |
the old one? We had to let him go.
He's always down the football. Is | 0:09:10 | 0:09:21 | |
that your Suggs? We could do with
you back in the band. On drums. That | 0:09:21 | 0:09:30 | |
is not done as a gag, that happened?
It really happened. On drum, I went | 0:09:30 | 0:09:38 | |
what's happened to John. He said
he's auditioning for singer. He got | 0:09:38 | 0:09:43 | |
the job of singer and I got sacked
as drummer, So how did you end up | 0:09:43 | 0:09:50 | |
back on the mic. The one who got the
job went back to Ireland, I was the | 0:09:50 | 0:09:55 | |
only one who knew the words to the
song, they had have to have my back. | 0:09:55 | 0:10:00 | |
So there is lots of funny stories
like that, what turned out funny but | 0:10:00 | 0:10:05 | |
you don't shy away from the darker
stuff. The whole premise of the show | 0:10:05 | 0:10:09 | |
was I got to 50. My kids left home,
I thought it was time to evaluate my | 0:10:09 | 0:10:14 | |
own life, so the premise, really is
I didn't know my dad. He left when I | 0:10:14 | 0:10:19 | |
was very young, I didn't know who he
was, that was baggy trousers. That | 0:10:19 | 0:10:26 | |
is another thing, the story of baggy
trousers, you said about your dad | 0:10:26 | 0:10:30 | |
there A journey to discover what
happened to my dad. It is an | 0:10:30 | 0:10:33 | |
unfortunate story, I am sure it is
one a lot of people know out there. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:37 | |
Most of us case from disparate
families and it wasn't perfect. But, | 0:10:37 | 0:10:41 | |
I found out what happened to my dad,
and got some kind of Chloe sure in | 0:10:41 | 0:10:45 | |
that respect. But -- closure but it
wasn't all good news. I like the | 0:10:45 | 0:10:50 | |
style of it. You are doing a one man
show, almost like a monologue, you | 0:10:50 | 0:10:55 | |
do this journey, you have a pianist
who is interacting with you as you | 0:10:55 | 0:10:59 | |
go and you have inserts, these
dramas, it is a great idea. Thank | 0:10:59 | 0:11:04 | |
you, I was doing it, as I say as a
stage show, a monologue, one man | 0:11:04 | 0:11:09 | |
show, then I bumped into an old
friend of mine, Julian Temple, he | 0:11:09 | 0:11:16 | |
has curated my entire life. He said
I tell you what would be great to | 0:11:16 | 0:11:23 | |
take the show, rather than do a live
DVD we could dramatise some of it, | 0:11:23 | 0:11:27 | |
like you see me in the phone box and
augment... You are in the bath at | 0:11:27 | 0:11:32 | |
one point as well. I am not wearing
Speedos! There is not much to see. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:43 | |
He added some drama and animation
and archive footage and then we | 0:11:43 | 0:11:46 | |
tried to make it into something that
has become a movie. That was based | 0:11:46 | 0:11:51 | |
on the first one man show, the
second one man show you are taking | 0:11:51 | 0:11:54 | |
on tour soon, a life in the realm of
madness. What are the maddest things | 0:11:54 | 0:12:00 | |
that have happened to you that you
can talk about at this hour of the | 0:12:00 | 0:12:04 | |
evening. I am glad you made it
clear. It was so successful they | 0:12:04 | 0:12:07 | |
asked me to do another one, if the
first was about how I got there, the | 0:12:07 | 0:12:11 | |
second show is about what happens
when you do get there, and of | 0:12:11 | 0:12:14 | |
course, yes, what happens when you
get there, everything and anything | 0:12:14 | 0:12:18 | |
you could care to mention. Madness.
The maddest things have happened to | 0:12:18 | 0:12:25 | |
Madness, being on the roof of
Buckingham Palace, I supported David | 0:12:25 | 0:12:30 | |
Bowie in front of 250,000 people and
fell off the front of the stage, you | 0:12:30 | 0:12:34 | |
know. We played at the Las Vegas
tent in Glastonbury which was the | 0:12:34 | 0:12:41 | |
most out of the way bit of
Glastonbury you can get. People had | 0:12:41 | 0:12:45 | |
to put dinner jackets on and there
was a Cassano. Are you surprised how | 0:12:45 | 0:12:54 | |
enduring Madness had become. You
didn't want to be performing past | 0:12:54 | 0:12:57 | |
your 30, now it is is a big part of
British music. Yes, of course I am. | 0:12:57 | 0:13:03 | |
You know, I am grateful and
privileged to be in this position. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:07 | |
People stop me in the street. I
realise every song we made had an | 0:13:07 | 0:13:13 | |
impact on people's lives. But you
know, having had the amount of hits | 0:13:13 | 0:13:16 | |
we did, which was 20 or so, It is
not that surprising that some | 0:13:16 | 0:13:22 | |
resonance from that. I would say the
great advantage for us is we were | 0:13:22 | 0:13:27 | |
friends before the band started, so
that gave us this grounding, that | 0:13:27 | 0:13:32 | |
now allows us to tolerance to stop
wanting to kill each other on a | 0:13:32 | 0:13:36 | |
daily basis. As opposed to with
other bands. You could sit and | 0:13:36 | 0:13:41 | |
listen to you for hours and hours,
but thaw is the whole point of the | 0:13:41 | 0:13:45 | |
show. That is the point of the show,
you are on tour to see all of us. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:50 | |
The film is released in cinema's
tomorrow and the tour starts at the | 0:13:50 | 0:13:55 | |
end of the month. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:57 | |
Suggs isn't the only one
looking back tonight - | 0:13:57 | 0:13:59 | |
Christine's been at it too. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:01 | |
She's got the story | 0:14:01 | 0:14:02 | |
of what was intended to be a 1960s
futuristic transport system, | 0:14:02 | 0:14:04 | |
one which spectacularly failed
to get off the ground. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:11 | |
I am off to a city that was planned
in secret. And boy, was it planned? | 0:14:11 | 0:14:18 | |
In 1962, it was just farmland.
Everything had to be designed from | 0:14:18 | 0:14:22 | |
the ground up. At its heart was a
futuristic public transport system. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:27 | |
The plans for the new city are now
in Buckingham Council archives. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:34 | |
Originally they were kept secret so
that house prices on the site were | 0:14:34 | 0:14:37 | |
not affected. It was officially
known as North Bucks new city. In | 0:14:37 | 0:14:42 | |
charge were two pioneering
architects, Bill Barrett and Fred | 0:14:42 | 0:14:46 | |
Pooley. So, it became known as
Pooleyville. So, this is | 0:14:46 | 0:14:54 | |
Pooleyville? It looks like something
from a 1960s science fiction comic. | 0:14:54 | 0:15:02 | |
Dominating it was a futuristic
monorail, which led to its other | 0:15:02 | 0:15:07 | |
nickname, Monorail City. You can see
the monorail moving through here, | 0:15:07 | 0:15:13 | |
and the idea was that the townships
would be arranged in the shape of a | 0:15:13 | 0:15:19 | |
butterfly, so nobody was more than
seven minutes from a monorail | 0:15:19 | 0:15:22 | |
station. They visited successful
monorails around the world. This | 0:15:22 | 0:15:25 | |
home movie shows Bill and Fred
riding a monorail in Germany. The | 0:15:25 | 0:15:32 | |
archive has dozens of files with
detailed plans for the new city. The | 0:15:32 | 0:15:37 | |
most important thing they wanted to
do was to make sure that the car was | 0:15:37 | 0:15:41 | |
not going to be king of this new
city. The idea was that the monorail | 0:15:41 | 0:15:44 | |
would be free. They finally went
public in January 19 64. It is quite | 0:15:44 | 0:15:53 | |
futuristic. What did people in
Buckinghamshire think of that? A lot | 0:15:53 | 0:15:57 | |
of people didn't really understand
what he was trying to do. He was | 0:15:57 | 0:16:00 | |
very keen on the idea. Obviously it
didn't necessarily work out that | 0:16:00 | 0:16:04 | |
way. Within three years, Bill and
Fred's big adventure was over. The | 0:16:04 | 0:16:10 | |
government decided planning a new
city was too big and expensive for | 0:16:10 | 0:16:13 | |
the County Council. Monorail City
was scrapped. The site was taken | 0:16:13 | 0:16:20 | |
over by a new organisation with a
new plan, and a new name. The new | 0:16:20 | 0:16:24 | |
city was called Milton Keynes Dons.
It was named after one of the | 0:16:24 | 0:16:29 | |
villages that was part of it. With
its roundabouts and grid roads, | 0:16:29 | 0:16:36 | |
Milton Keynes was built to embrace
the motorcar. For 50 years, it has | 0:16:36 | 0:16:40 | |
been one of Britain's fastest
cities. This year, there is a new | 0:16:40 | 0:16:45 | |
development, something that links
Milton Keynes to the architects of | 0:16:45 | 0:16:53 | |
Monorail City. Meet The Pod. This is
it? Yes, it is a research and | 0:16:53 | 0:17:03 | |
development autonomous pod. Want to
try it out? This is quite exciting. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:10 | |
It is part of an experiment designed
to bring driverless vehicles to | 0:17:10 | 0:17:16 | |
Milton Keynes Dons long before they
appear on the roads. That is because | 0:17:16 | 0:17:19 | |
here they will work on the red ways,
Milton Keynes Dons Maka Unufe | 0:17:19 | 0:17:23 | |
network of pedestrian and cycle path
is. But it really is driverless. It | 0:17:23 | 0:17:29 | |
is driving around a pre-mapped route
in Milton Keynes Dons that is | 0:17:29 | 0:17:33 | |
driving on its own, autonomously. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:39 | |
They have radar, and a laser system.
If it sees something it does not | 0:17:39 | 0:17:45 | |
recognise, it makes a decision to
react. Ahead is a pedestrian. Do you | 0:17:45 | 0:17:53 | |
not think that might be a
stumbling... Stumbling block! The | 0:17:53 | 0:17:56 | |
emergency stop works. Soon, it will
expand to over 20 pods, controlled | 0:17:56 | 0:18:02 | |
by phone apps, with members of the
public testing them out for the | 0:18:02 | 0:18:06 | |
first time. But the idea isn't as
new as it seems. Last year, shortly | 0:18:06 | 0:18:11 | |
before his death, the team got a
visit from none other than Monorail | 0:18:11 | 0:18:18 | |
City architect, Bill Barrett, and he
brought something to show them. He | 0:18:18 | 0:18:22 | |
was a visionary. He had designs
which he showed us, showing vehicles | 0:18:22 | 0:18:28 | |
operating autonomously. He worked on
these designs for driverless cars in | 0:18:28 | 0:18:32 | |
the 1960s. He was delighted that, 50
years on, the idea had finally taken | 0:18:32 | 0:18:39 | |
off. Their | 0:18:39 | 0:18:40 | |
We're joined by a man who knows
a thing or two about cars. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:48 | |
It's Top Gear's Rory Reid. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:51 | |
50 years ago, Bill Barrett was
talking about driverless cars. How | 0:18:51 | 0:18:56 | |
close is that to reality? Does not
much if it is going to happen, it is | 0:18:56 | 0:19:00 | |
when. We have had driverless cars
tested in various forms all around | 0:19:00 | 0:19:04 | |
the country and the world, but they
have had to have human beings behind | 0:19:04 | 0:19:07 | |
the wheel. That is all set to change
very soon. Those look relatively | 0:19:07 | 0:19:12 | |
normal. This, world's first
driverless racing car, the Robo | 0:19:12 | 0:19:17 | |
race, is a different kettle of fish.
It is gorgeous, isn't it? It is a | 0:19:17 | 0:19:23 | |
test bed. It participates in a bunch
of human free racing. Robotic cars | 0:19:23 | 0:19:28 | |
driving by themselves, at up to 200
mph. The idea is that they learn to | 0:19:28 | 0:19:33 | |
interact with each other and a race
track. If they can do that at 200 | 0:19:33 | 0:19:37 | |
mph, surely they will be able to do
that at 30 mph on your local High | 0:19:37 | 0:19:41 | |
Street. Extreme conditions to test
every kind of eventuality? All | 0:19:41 | 0:19:46 | |
around the car you can see cameras,
radar sensors, lasers, GPS. It has a | 0:19:46 | 0:19:52 | |
three and 60 degrees field of view.
It can see everything, it records | 0:19:52 | 0:19:57 | |
what it is doing and it learns. The
idea being, when we are in | 0:19:57 | 0:20:00 | |
driverless cars with a cabin, that
we sit in, this thing has learned | 0:20:00 | 0:20:03 | |
everything that could possibly
happen. It looks like a pimped up | 0:20:03 | 0:20:08 | |
version. Will the real driverless
cars have those kind of attachments? | 0:20:08 | 0:20:14 | |
Absolutely. The sensors are
basically pretty easy to abdicate. | 0:20:14 | 0:20:19 | |
Everything you see on this will go
into normal autonomous cars. The | 0:20:19 | 0:20:25 | |
difficulty is ensuring they are 100%
safe. Right now they are talking | 0:20:25 | 0:20:32 | |
about 1 million people that die
every year in car crashes, 85% of | 0:20:32 | 0:20:36 | |
those are caused by human error.
Remove the human, you remove the | 0:20:36 | 0:20:39 | |
danger. That is the idea, but it is
a lot more complicated. You have | 0:20:39 | 0:20:43 | |
things like insurance, you have to
ensure the driver and the car, and | 0:20:43 | 0:20:47 | |
then there is the ethical dilemma.
What happens when a driverless car | 0:20:47 | 0:20:49 | |
has to brake, or it will injure the
driver? Does it swerve and injure a | 0:20:49 | 0:20:57 | |
motorcyclist or a car full of four
children? Summary has to programmed | 0:20:57 | 0:21:02 | |
them to decide who it is going to
hurt in the event of an accident. It | 0:21:02 | 0:21:08 | |
sounds like the stuff of science
fiction. It is a brave new world and | 0:21:08 | 0:21:12 | |
it is happening in three years'
time. These are going to be legal. | 0:21:12 | 0:21:17 | |
It sounds bonkers, and I love it.
Top Gear will be on our screens | 0:21:17 | 0:21:20 | |
again very shortly. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:22 | |
Many of us will have
filled our cars with rubbish | 0:21:22 | 0:21:24 | |
for the tip over the holidays. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:26 | |
Some of it will be
soulless junk of course, | 0:21:26 | 0:21:30 | |
but in Leeds Michael Douglas | 0:21:30 | 0:21:31 | |
has been finding the treasure among
the trash, and all of it | 0:21:31 | 0:21:34 | |
has a story to tell. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:38 | |
With the average UK household
producing more than a tonne of waste | 0:21:38 | 0:21:42 | |
every year, recycling centres like
this one at Seacroft in Leeds see | 0:21:42 | 0:21:44 | |
thousands of people weighing in
every week. For some, it means | 0:21:44 | 0:21:50 | |
letting go of the bygone days of
youth, and the promise of stardom. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:55 | |
We used to play in bands in the 90s,
so I found lots of posters, | 0:21:55 | 0:21:59 | |
photographs from bands and that kind
of stuff. Part of me didn't want to | 0:21:59 | 0:22:03 | |
throw that away. But I am leading a
different life now, and we move on | 0:22:03 | 0:22:09 | |
with different lives. A lot of that
stuff, there is no room for it. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:14 | |
Meanwhile, newlyweds Lee Sandell
Matthew are starting a new adventure | 0:22:14 | 0:22:21 | |
together. We are throwing away old
bits of kitchen units and cabinets | 0:22:21 | 0:22:25 | |
that we have taken out of the new
house I have just bought. Nothing | 0:22:25 | 0:22:31 | |
has been done with it for about 50
years. Hence why we are digging out | 0:22:31 | 0:22:36 | |
the retro fireplace. As you can see,
I am 35 weeks pregnant. Just hope we | 0:22:36 | 0:22:41 | |
have everything ready in time. He
doesn't want to stay in there much | 0:22:41 | 0:22:46 | |
longer. We paid a visit to their new
home to survey the damage. This year | 0:22:46 | 0:22:50 | |
we have got pregnant, we have got
married, we have the house and we | 0:22:50 | 0:22:55 | |
are renovating it. We are doing
everything everybody says you | 0:22:55 | 0:22:59 | |
shouldn't do in one go, because it
is stressful. We are worse that | 0:22:59 | 0:23:06 | |
stress, and we are doing it in seven
months? In another two weeks, we are | 0:23:06 | 0:23:10 | |
going to be out of it. We have a lot
of family support. I was the | 0:23:10 | 0:23:14 | |
original partygoer. That was my
life, really. Then I met Martin and | 0:23:14 | 0:23:19 | |
started to settle down. This is a
different type of lifestyle. It is | 0:23:19 | 0:23:27 | |
exciting to be... Setting up our own
new life. It is a new adventure for | 0:23:27 | 0:23:34 | |
us, all go. Still got all of this to
go. Another couple of days of | 0:23:34 | 0:23:38 | |
running back and forth, I think. The
recycling centre also has an on-site | 0:23:38 | 0:23:43 | |
charity shop, where reusable goods
can be brought and bought, where you | 0:23:43 | 0:23:47 | |
can come up trumps with anything
from sports gear... I have picked up | 0:23:47 | 0:23:53 | |
some good top name Badminton
rackets, which I use now. They are | 0:23:53 | 0:23:57 | |
brilliant. To knick-knacks and bike
pumps. This is a French one, so it | 0:23:57 | 0:24:03 | |
should give a loss of out. For
Gayle, her loss is their game. I | 0:24:03 | 0:24:12 | |
have lost three stone since the
beginning of the year, I got rid of | 0:24:12 | 0:24:16 | |
all my size 16s and I am now size
12. I am getting a new wardrobe. | 0:24:16 | 0:24:25 | |
Brothers Michael and David have been
clearing out their late mother's | 0:24:25 | 0:24:28 | |
house. It is almost like a house
clearance. Taking it all to the tip, | 0:24:28 | 0:24:33 | |
and we wanted to bring it here. Our
mother passed away a few years ago. | 0:24:33 | 0:24:38 | |
Our brother lived there for a while.
Then our brother passed away on | 0:24:38 | 0:24:42 | |
Friday. So it is all of his stuff as
well. This is my brother's. The | 0:24:42 | 0:24:51 | |
lovely thing about it is that we
didn't realise that our mother kept | 0:24:51 | 0:24:55 | |
everything from when we were
children. We didn't know it was | 0:24:55 | 0:24:57 | |
there. Everything was kept. We have
four sisters as well, helping. There | 0:24:57 | 0:25:05 | |
was six of us at the time. It has
been emotional, but... Has been good | 0:25:05 | 0:25:11 | |
as well. It has been good fun as
well. It is a different way of | 0:25:11 | 0:25:15 | |
getting together as a family, but
brings us closer. At least one of | 0:25:15 | 0:25:20 | |
the donations has already found a
home. Look at that! Definitely want | 0:25:20 | 0:25:24 | |
that on the door. | 0:25:24 | 0:25:32 | |
Just now, found that. Love, life and
loss. All in a day's work for those | 0:25:36 | 0:25:42 | |
of the Seacroft recycling centre. | 0:25:42 | 0:25:44 | |
We enjoyed that. | 0:25:47 | 0:25:53 | |
Suggs are you good at chucking
stuff? What are you a hoarder? I | 0:25:53 | 0:25:58 | |
have chipped away at every
opportunity I have hard! Alongside | 0:25:58 | 0:26:02 | |
the plastic, Lindsey is here. We are
turning the tide on plastic for | 0:26:02 | 0:26:08 | |
2018. The last time we saw you, you
had a bee in your bonnet about | 0:26:08 | 0:26:16 | |
straws? On the list of things
polluting the ocean, they are number | 0:26:16 | 0:26:21 | |
seven. I was out with my daughters,
we are all vegan. I didn't realise | 0:26:21 | 0:26:27 | |
it was actually a straw. I will ask
you to try that again. This is an | 0:26:27 | 0:26:36 | |
alternative, bio plastic. It works,
I got some fluid in my mouth. I am | 0:26:36 | 0:26:44 | |
not saying it is perfect. A drop of
vodka, that would have been | 0:26:44 | 0:26:48 | |
beautiful. That works. Guess what
that is made from. I will tell you. | 0:26:48 | 0:26:56 | |
Chewing gum? Sugar beet. It is a
Belgian scientist, who has dedicated | 0:26:56 | 0:27:00 | |
his professional life to coming up
with different alternatives. He says | 0:27:00 | 0:27:06 | |
use local plastic. Wherever you are,
you can use sugar beet, different | 0:27:06 | 0:27:09 | |
types of grass, trees, it works. And
compostable? Yes, in a home compost | 0:27:09 | 0:27:18 | |
bin. We were laughing about whether
or not people would be able to get | 0:27:18 | 0:27:22 | |
rid of plastic cups, paper cups?
Guillermo Roan last week, I | 0:27:22 | 0:27:27 | |
recommended people carry their own,
not everybody wanted to do it | 0:27:27 | 0:27:30 | |
because they might get coffee in the
handbag. This is a great solution, a | 0:27:30 | 0:27:34 | |
Suffolk -based firm that recognised
that only one in 400 coffee cups, we | 0:27:34 | 0:27:38 | |
get through 2.5 billion of these
each year, were being recycled. It | 0:27:38 | 0:27:43 | |
is a paper cup. The plastic in it,
which most of us didn't know was | 0:27:43 | 0:27:48 | |
there, they can separate it really
easily at the paper mill. That means | 0:27:48 | 0:27:53 | |
it can go into any normal paper
recycling bin. These are coming on | 0:27:53 | 0:27:58 | |
stream in independent coffee shops
in February. I am excited about | 0:27:58 | 0:28:01 | |
that. We are celebrating other good
practice? Some of the big guys are | 0:28:01 | 0:28:08 | |
doing really well. Some of my mates
are going around with the ones you | 0:28:08 | 0:28:12 | |
don't throw away. Almost
embarrassed, saying, could you put | 0:28:12 | 0:28:16 | |
my coffee in there? No, be proud!
Everybody is doing it, Iceland | 0:28:16 | 0:28:23 | |
announced today they are eliminating
plastic in their supply chain, the | 0:28:23 | 0:28:27 | |
supermarket, not the country, by
2023 for own brand products. That is | 0:28:27 | 0:28:32 | |
really good, it includes those funny
black plastic trays that you | 0:28:32 | 0:28:35 | |
microwave meals in. That's it, I am
putting the next Madness album out | 0:28:35 | 0:28:42 | |
on banana skins! Very quickly, a
couple of heroes must not Nile clerk | 0:28:42 | 0:28:50 | |
from Tunbridge Wells works in a
fruit and veg shop, and everything | 0:28:50 | 0:28:54 | |
apart from some salad items are
completely plastic free. Bernadette | 0:28:54 | 0:28:57 | |
went to Thailand on holiday and
spent every day picking up plastic | 0:28:57 | 0:29:01 | |
from the beach. We love Her! | 0:29:01 | 0:29:13 | |
And thank you to Suggs as well for
your stories. It is our planet! | 0:29:13 | 0:29:22 | |
His new one man show,
King Canute: A Life in the Realm | 0:29:22 | 0:29:27 | |
of Madness, starts on 31st January. | 0:29:27 | 0:29:29 | |
We'll have our house
in order tomorrow as Phil | 0:29:29 | 0:29:31 | |
and Kirstie will be joining us. | 0:29:31 | 0:29:33 | |
And Alex will be here as well. | 0:29:33 | 0:29:35 |
