16/05/2017 The One Show

So your racing career is going from strength to strength?

Matt and Al will want to ask you about that.

Yes, I'm really enjoying my racing at the moment.

Hey, young man, I'm the star of tonight's show, if you don't mind.

Well, hello and welcome to the One Show with Alex Jones! And a very

excitable Matt Baker, what is wrong with you? Our guests tonight is very

excitable, his enthusiasm is infectious. He is a jockey known for

his flying dismounts, something he has done 3000 times when he has won.

The Italian on a stallion, it is Frankie Dettori!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Yes! There it is! That looks

incredibly dangerous! That is a good start! Has it ever gone wrong? Once

I landed on my backside, and the second time I landed on the owner of

the horse, Sheikh Mohammed, knocked him over. It nearly cost me my job.

Do you always make sure... Do you make sure your feet are in the right

place in the stirrups? 100%! We were talking before we came on, your dad

is a champion jockey, your mum grew up in the circus, so does the

celebration come from her? She comes from a circus family, she had to do

everything, and one of her party tricks was standing on two horses,

write them like that, standing up. She did a million things, trapeze

artist, knives on a wheel, she was very sub all, very brave. I guess

some of the genes came into me. Do you do the whole...? No! Frankie is

here to talk about the band coming Epsom Derby, and if you saw the

start of the programme, his son Rocco will be joining us later to

talk about his riding career, and it is quite a career, actually. It is

indeed! That famous celebration got us thinking, didn't it? What has got

you jumping for joy like Frankie? We would like to see you in celebration

mood. We know how Mary celebrates, winning an NTA, get in, Mary! And

Dave celebrating that he has finally cleared the props corridor! But it

could be anything, a new job, engagement, a great haircut - send a

picture of your pose to the usual address. We want a good one! Maybe

don't bother jumping off any horses, leave that to Frankie. Frankie will

know the intense rivalry that can exist between opposing football

supporters, but for some the abuse they receive is not because of the

colour of their shirt but the colour of their skin. Mobeen went to meet a

group of fans will no longer be intimidated.

I have come to Bradford to join a group of football fans for their

most important home match of the season. Come on, City! Bradford City

macro are through to the League One play-off semifinals. If we win this,

we're going to go to Wembley. It is a big moment for any football fan,

but for this group in particular at ending the match together is

especially sweet. FOI years, many of the Asian families in this area were

so concerned about racial abuse from fans on their way to the ground that

they wouldn't let their sons and daughters out on match days, let

alone go to watch the game. Local resident Momosar remembers what it

was like. Might parents wouldn't let me out during match time, they were

afraid of what could happen. The away stand, at one time it used to

be exposed, and a lot of away supporters used to shout verbal

abuse, so we saw it first hand. If it wasn't one person, it used to be

chanting. But now that is changing. Thanks in part to Humayun Islam, who

a few years ago heard about Fans For Diversity, a campaign launched by

the football supporters federation and kick it out, the organisation

aimed at tackling racism in the sport. That might be kids from

Bradford to support Arsenal, Chelsea, but how often can they go

to these premiership clubs? We want to support our local club which is

virtually a free kick away. With the backing of the campaign, Humayun

pounded the Bangla Bantams, taking children from the local Asian

community to the games. It wasn't long before this family joined in.

We looked into getting everybody involved, it being part of the

Bantams family, part of the wider community. Groups like this have the

potential to be a real game changer, and not just here in Bradford. Is

former footballer is from the Football Supporters Federation. . A

lot of supporters do not have the confidence to buy a ticket and watch

the game because they are fearful of what they have been told about, that

is changing, things are improving. Anwar is changing dumb and rolling

the campaign out across the country. We want everyone to be able to buy a

ticket and enjoy the game. Today, Bangla Bantams have a loyal

following. Bashir has been a Bradford City can add off his whole

life. Hello! My mum is here, my brother. Is he dragging you a long,

or do you want to go? Are you a football fan? Yes!

We are all united together, that is what we want. Don't lose the ticket!

It is this way! We had off do Valley Parade stadium armed with half-time

snacks. We have got some samosas and pies. What is their idea of a

healthy snack might be not quite right, but these supporters now feel

comfortable joining the many fans. It is important to get all sections

of the community involved, it is a real working-class club that looks

after the people. It is more of a family atmosphere than it ever used

to be. Come together, enjoy the occasion, any colour or creed. Time

for the real business to begin. It feels very welcoming, no animosity.

The whole atmosphere is here is amazing, it is electrified. This is

what you call football! 76 minutes into the game, it is still 0-0, but

then... CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

And just like that, 90 minutes are up, Bradford City 1, Fleetwood 0.

Only one more match stands between them and the League One play-off

final at Wembley. It is more special with this group of supporters,

because it is like a family now. The Bangla Bantams are a great

example of how football can bring communities together. I hope other

supporters around the country will be inspired, and who knows? We could

end up with a game that is truly diverse both on and off the pitch.

A big thank you to Mobeen, congratulations to him on winning

the Bafta on Sunday. Welcome to Humayun and Momosar, you were loving

watching yourselves! We saw that Bradford got through, so you off to

Wembley! Let's see your celebration pose! Well done. Lovely! It is a

stupid question, you are going? We are definitely going down, we have

got so many cars going down on the day, potentially we will go down on

the Friday, stay over, comeback on Saturday after the game. And what

about Auntie Kamal? Still a work in progress, we are hoping to get some

of the kids to go. And Humayun, you were saying that you are expecting

more Asian fans to take the trip to Wembley than go to the home games?

It is more the Wembley experience itself, it is the opportunity to

experience Wembley, and hopefully that will capture more fans to

experience that. Hopefully we will win, and that will increase more

Asian fans coming to home games. These boys are all about the snacks,

you have taken in samosas, have they agreed to that? I think so, we have

put the orders in already for the samosas and the pakoras, over 100

easy. It brings a bit of culture as well to the game. Frankie, we know

you are a big football game, you are here to talk about the Derby, but

that night, one of your teams, Juventus, will be playing Real

Madrid at the Millennium Stadium. Yes, we have got the final, I am a

big Juventus supporter, unfortunately I cannot ride in, so I

am watching at home, come on, Juve! We would get onto that shortly,

thanks very much, boys, nice to see you. Good luck to Bradford City.

The next film is the direct result of an appeal for help that we made

to you about a year ago. Now, frankly, One Show viewers of the

best researchers in television because there are so many of you.

Last May, we brought you the incredible story of 4000 forgotten

First World War photos discovered by journalist Ross Coulthart in a

French farmhouse. The pictures were taken in a village by Louis and

Antoinette Touillier. Few if any original survived, but because the

company kept the glass negatives, it was possible to develop these

extraordinary crystal clear images. We posted 1500 of the photos online

and asked One Show viewers to help identify them. Hundreds of you

recognised cap badges and uniform insignia, and some of you even

recognise people, including members of your own family. Linda has

identified William on the right here in this picture, with a football

team. Mark from Middlesbrough was delighted to identify his

grandfather, Alexander, in this photograph. I am meeting up with

Pauline Bogdan and Jeff Spicer at the National Memorial Arboretum in

Staffordshire. They recognise their grandfathers, who were both in the

Royal army medical Corps, and both photographed in these images. Were

you watching the One Show that night? I wasn't, but my uncle was,

he had just finished his tea, and there was his dad. You have some

other pictures of him? This was him when he joined up with his sisters

and his parents and his knees. With the two photographs side by side,

the resemblance is clear. How about you? I saw the show, I started to

look through the photographs, and lo and behold, there he was. This was

an old photograph that was sent as a postcard when he first joined the

Army. Goodness me. So where dumb and here we have Joshua, it is a lovely

photograph. The strains of the war or shown on his face at this point.

Let's have a look at Sydney. This is in in his Royal Army Medical Corps

uniform, with his cap badge that we still have, jaunty angle to his cap

there! He is probably pleased with themselves because he managed to get

a few days away from the horrors of war. Both Joshua and Sidney survived

the bloody campaign of the Somme. Joshua lived into a 60s, Sidney was

69 many passed away. Here at the National Memorial Arboretum, they

have recently unveiled a statue to the Royal Army Medical Corps, and

this is the first time they have seen it. Very touching, isn't it? It

is. You start to realise what sort of experiences, the trauma and

terror they must have gone through. The last photographs helped bring us

closer to the men who lived through the horror of the First World War -

men who will never be forgotten. So there you go, you never know what

all of who you might see, a big thank you to Ross Coulthart, the

author of the The Lost Tommies, who first brought us the story. Frankie,

46 years old, I don't want to say you are an older man, but my word...

You have started on the wrong note! You are still going, and it is quite

incredible, the lengths you have to go to.

This year is my 30th year of being a professional.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. What drives you to keep doing this? It is the

love of the sport. We love it so much. We come into it with the love

of the racehorse and compete and you mingle in with people half my age

most of the Tim and you are forever young. You never feel old. We all

live in the same environment. I will not last for ever but I will carry

on as long as I can, as long as my knees hold up. It is a huge

commitment physically and the day is so long. Tell us a bit about a

typical Dettori Day? I get up around five or six o'clock and we train the

walruses and then I usually go to their gym. I will go into the sauna.

It depends how much weight I need to lose. We travel to the races and in

general, four 25 races and this goes on every day, especially in the

spring. The most important part of the season. It is physically

demanding, there is a lot of negatives, you cannot eat much, you

are travelling a lot, but there is that thrill of winning, been in

front of 40,000 people and crossing the line first, there is nothing

better than that. And the Investec Darby that is coming up? That is the

3rd of June, our biggest race. It is the most important race. Since 1780

we have done this race and it is the best crop of three-year-olds around

the world and they all want to win. It is like the Monaco Grand Prix or

the Masters in golf or the World Cup in football. It is the best two and

a half minutes we have got to offer. It took you 15 times to win it. It

was a special time when you did it first in 2007. My dad was there. The

story about Sir Anthony McCoy, to come so long to win the Grand

National and for me, it took me 15 years to win that race. Crossing the

line that day meant so much. What a relief. I achieved everything in my

sport and it was so important. It is still important for me now because I

have not got that many years left and I would like to win it one more

time. That is the interesting thing, because you did achieve everything

you wanted, I guess your perception is very different now when you're

sitting in the dressing room waiting to go out. Yes and no. Of course, it

is nice to have it in the bag and you have won it, but then you

realise, how much it really means and then you start thinking, I would

like to win here again. I got the thrill once and I would like to do

it again. That keeps you going. For any sportsman, they have the same

feeling. They want to do it over and over again. I assumed that you and

your horse would work together as a team in training, but they told me

you do not pick the horse until just before the race. We were a bit

devastated, because we thought we could put a bet on. Job done! You

have a couple of choices. At the end of the day, the Epsom Derby is the

final and we have trials beforehand and when the horses pass those

trials, then you realise, the contender for the big one and at

this moment, my horse runs on Thursday and that is his last trial.

Fingers crossed, if he passes the trial well, he will be my Derby

mount. Do you think you will know when you head to the start of the

race whether you're going to win? You usually have a pretty good idea

in the back of your mind if you have got a winning chance or not. We will

find out and we wish you all the best. Write that down! While Frankie

is racing horses, Miranda is in a race to save one of the most

beautiful endangered birds. She is in the Cambridgeshire meeting the

black-tailed godwit and the conservation is doing all that they

can to help. I have come to the RSPB reserve here which is home to the

largest protected population of black-tailed godwits left in the UK

with 35 breeding pairs. That pair of black-tailed godwits out there are

one of less than 60 breeding pairs left here in the UK. This particular

species of godwit is on the red list, which means that urgent action

is required to ensure the survival of the species in the UK. Tell me

why we have got so few of these beautiful birds here in the UK. In

previous years there would have been lots more at wetland sites but

wetland drainage led to a big loss of habitat, spring flooding has led

to a loss of nests and we are seeing there are not enough chicks making

it every year to enable the population to increase. Can you

describe what you have been doing? We have taken eggs into captivity

and we are going to be working to rear and release those checks into

suitable habitat in the wild. Life can be really tough for a young

waiter and if we can give them a helping hand during a critical stage

we think we can boost the number of checks we have out there in the

population. I am heading to the WW tea with the eggs were taken. Here

conservation breeders help the chicks to get at good start in life

before releasing them back into the wild. They are so cute. They are so

cute and fluffy! This is where we've first brought the eggs and incubated

them and we have hatched them. They live roughly for about the first

seven days of life in the cabin. They are getting older and it is

crucial we get them outside as soon as possible to get used to the fence

where they will about the rest of their lives. We have got a group

going outside for the first time today and it is a big for them. The

birds are in here. You can see the door moving. What an exciting

moment. They are eager to get out. They just put a smile on your face.

Absolutely. What happens next? The next key thing will be extending

their area, giving them more space, introducing a pond so they can

bathe. How old will they be when you finally release them into the wild?

These checks will fledge at about four weeks old and that is when they

will have pretty much all of their feathers and that is when they are

ready to go. There will be a certain amount of post-release monitoring.

Why have you not done this sooner? It is such a bold and innovative

technique. It is a last resort and we want to try and be Hans off but

the numbers are so low now that we think they do need this critical

boost. It is quite comical. Their legs and feet are way too big at the

moment. That is really great. They are really gorgeous. Shall we look

at some more attempt to? Is this a joke? It is true. I thought you were

leading somewhere! There is Frankie with some emu chicks. My daughter

found them on the internet and they appeared in the house and I did not

know what they were, so I checked on the internet. They are my new pets.

What is the plan? I have got no idea. We will make it up as we go

along. That is the way to do it. Talking about offspring, you're sunk

Rocco is here and he has started riding and he is a very accomplished

jockey. Third generation. Shall we welcome him? Please welcome Rocco

Dettori! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. MUSIC: 'My

Generation' - The Who. That was a good one. They were first in the

competition in April, second in a race over the weekend, my word, how

many years have you been riding and when did you start? I started riding

at five but I did a lot of pony club and jumping, not really racing. Then

did a bit of polo and kept jumping and the beginning of this year,

began racing. Who is sure pony? Can we put that back up? Barry. Barry

the pony! That is amazing. Do you think your talent is down to your

father? Pretend he is not here. Probably not!

LAUGHTER. All right. We did notice that you do like to dress like him.

If we look at this picture... Here we go... You are in the same

colours. There you are. Frankly, was always the plan for your children to

ride. You have got five children. They all ride. I just leave it up to

them and they want to take it up, fine. If you push too much, then

gets a negative affect. I am very pleased. My dad was a jockey as

well. It looks like we could have a third generation of jockeys. You

have got five children, and some of them are too tall. Yes. That is Leo

on the left. He is 17 and unfortunately my job is weight

related and he is already a big lad. This is the killer question, Rocco,

would you prefer to be a jockey ought to be taller than your dad?

Definitely a jockey. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. Apparently it

is too dangerous but I am still going to keep pestering him. Good

for you. What about the DJ in? Your dad likes to DJ. Is that

embarrassing? It is embarrassing! Behind the decks, fantastic. We know

you are very competitive. We are going to have a little bit of a

quiz. A little quiz. Dettori versus Dettori. The first one is mental

arithmetic. Are you ready? Figures coming. Frankie is 1.2 metres tall

sat on his horse and his horse is 1.7 metres tall. Frankie leaps off

his horse in celebration, another not .7 metres into the air and the

question is, how high off the ground is Frankie's hat? 3.6 metres. Yes!

APPLAUSE. Amazing. That is not fair! He goes to school, I don't any more!

We will carry on, this is the big screen horse Bullseye. If we got

that picture? There we are. Name the film that made Bullseye famous? No

idea. You win this. Tory... That will do. You can have that. Toy

story! It is one all. This is a tricky one. A cowboy rides into a

village on Friday, he stays for three nights and then he leaves on

Friday. How's that possible? The horses call Friday.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. Absolutely brilliant. Everyone in the office

was stumped. I love it. Earlier, because of our guess we asked for

your celebratory poses and lots came in. This is Laura's daughter aged

five and celebrating that she is going to be a big sister.

Congratulations. This is Tanya from Bristol doing a celebration cake as

she has qualified to be a midwife. Congratulations. You will like this

one, this is one of Peter celebrating going out into the

field. Very nice. This is good, this is Grace celebrating getting over

the chickenpox and returning back to school tomorrow. Well done. There is

one more thing that you can all help us with. Ahead of Pippa Middleton's

wedding which apparently includes a 140 foot glass marquee, very nice.

Are we invited? It would be very hot. Do flashy expensive weddings

always mean the best wedding day? We would like to hear from you if you

manage to pull off the best day of your life on a budget or maybe you

shelled out a whole load of money on a wedding day that kind of failed to

live up to your expectations. Please let us know, we are going to make a

film about it. I Friday. That is all for tonight. Thank you for joining

us. When is the next race? It is Suffolk. That is the half term. How

far do you have to write? I don't know the distance. Two laps of the

field. Just keep going until you get to the finish line. Frankie, we wish

you the very best with the Epsom Derby, on Friday the second and

Saturday the 3rd of June. We will be back tomorrow with David Walliams

and Nicola Adams plus music from Erasure. CNN, goodbye.

# I'll come get my things but I can't let go
