:00:19. > :00:23.Welcome to the One Show with Matt Baker. And Alex Jones. With us
:00:23. > :00:27.tonight is a man who always knew he wanted to be a comedian. He set out
:00:27. > :00:33.to gain all the skills necessary to be a successful stand-up.
:00:34. > :00:38.learned how to use a microphone by becoming a bingo call. Also being a
:00:38. > :00:43.stable boy. And how to handle pre- show nerves, he became a Bluecoat
:00:43. > :00:48.and got drunk before going on stage. Yes, but he got the sack. It's Lee
:00:48. > :00:53.Mack! APPLAUSE
:00:53. > :01:01.Did we leave out any essential skills. That was such a long intro,
:01:02. > :01:09.it's time to say good night. I like you accused me of drinking before I
:01:09. > :01:14.went to work and I ride Red Rum. When I say road him, I don't mean
:01:14. > :01:20.in the national or anything. I walked up and down the stables with
:01:20. > :01:24.someone holding onto him. He had retired by this stage. He was 21,
:01:24. > :01:28.in human years it's probably 150. He was plod ago long. Still Red Rum.
:01:29. > :01:33.Is it true that one of your comedy rules is that you need a laugh of
:01:33. > :01:38.15 seconds? Exactly on 15 seconds. A second before or after, you have
:01:38. > :01:43.to walk off stage. We're in for a good show tonight then. That's been
:01:43. > :01:50.15, so I'll see you later. That's what they say. I do gags you see. I
:01:50. > :01:54.have quite a high turnover of stuff. You can do, you have a story that
:01:54. > :02:00.gets a laugh after about five minutes, but it has to be a good
:02:00. > :02:04.gag. I don't take that risk. How quick your gags are, or how good
:02:04. > :02:07.they are, the quicker they are, you're admitting they're rubbish.
:02:07. > :02:11.Mine are every three seconds. is on a mission to bring variety
:02:11. > :02:16.back to our screens. Find out how you can take part later on. With
:02:16. > :02:18.food prices rising, families are having to decide what to take out
:02:18. > :02:23.of their shopping. Shops are responding with offers like feeding
:02:23. > :02:26.a family of four on just �50 a week. There was a time when stretching
:02:27. > :02:34.meals and going without was part of life. Can today's young families
:02:34. > :02:40.learn to do the same? Meet the Hankinsons from Bury, an ordinary
:02:40. > :02:45.family, with ordinary shopping habits. I spend about �100 a week
:02:45. > :02:49.on shopping. I also nip out in the week for ingredients I haven't got,
:02:49. > :02:58.particularly fresh things. I could spend about �25, to �30 in the week,
:02:58. > :03:03.topping up on things. But can they manage on less - a lot less? Tracey,
:03:03. > :03:07.are you ready for your challenge? Oh, yes. Your chal seng quite
:03:08. > :03:13.simple actually. You have to feed all four members of your family for
:03:13. > :03:18.seven days for no more than �50. We will leave you an emergency storage
:03:18. > :03:23.cupboard. I'll try not to go into the cupboard. But it's nice to have
:03:24. > :03:28.it. Let me give you your mb. -- money. Spend that very wisely.
:03:28. > :03:32.going to have to. Good luck. While Tracey's at the shops, I'm going to
:03:32. > :03:37.chill out with only �50 to spend, there's not going to be much
:03:37. > :03:45.leftover for treats. Hi Simon, I'm home! It looks like you spent much
:03:45. > :03:52.more than �50, did you spend �50 in the end? No. I spent �49.88. So let
:03:52. > :03:58.the challenge begin. Remember, they've only got �1.78 per person
:03:58. > :04:03.per day. What will Tracey kick off with? What's on the menu tonight?
:04:04. > :04:07.I'm presuming it's potato and carrots? No, it's potato hash. It's
:04:07. > :04:14.an all-time favourite and it's cheap. Have you got room for one
:04:14. > :04:20.more? No. That's day one sorted. What do you think of dinner? Eurgh.
:04:20. > :04:25.Don't like it. And what's mum cooking the rest of the week? For
:04:25. > :04:30.breakfast, it's mainly cereal with sandwiches and biscuits for lunch.
:04:30. > :04:40.Day two's evening male is macaroni cheese with sausages.. How's tea
:04:40. > :04:42.
:04:42. > :04:50.tonight, George? Brilliant. Are you having seconds? Are you dumb? Yeah!
:04:50. > :04:56.That's not very nice. Day three is a hearty chicken casserole.
:04:56. > :05:00.Tonight's tea was chicken casserole. It was nice. I thought everyone
:05:00. > :05:05.liked it. All supermarkets are running cut-price promotions. With
:05:05. > :05:10.food inflation above real inflation at nearly 6%, can this carry on?
:05:10. > :05:14.What's going on with food prices? Lower price sz great for awful us,
:05:14. > :05:18.but it's not good for the farmers or producers. They are going to
:05:18. > :05:24.have to start raising prices soon. The prices of the raw goods are
:05:24. > :05:28.going up so much. The price of wheat is up 70% in the last year.
:05:28. > :05:34.Back at the Hankinsons, the kids have caught mum and dad breaking
:05:34. > :05:39.the rules. That's my dad cheating! They've cracked, with beer for dad
:05:39. > :05:44.and chocolates for mum, donated by a sympathetic neighbour. It's not
:05:44. > :05:49.really cheating because we didn't pay for it. As well as tucking into
:05:49. > :05:58.her surprise gifts, Tracey still has three hungry mouths to feed.
:05:58. > :06:04.Day four is fish pie. Day five, chicken fajitas and day six, spag
:06:04. > :06:09.bol. The final day is sausage goulash. The seven days are up and
:06:09. > :06:17.it's not gone terribly well. Even with gifts and Bartering, you admit
:06:17. > :06:25.it's around �65 in value. Yeah. failed. Yes. How does that make you
:06:25. > :06:31.feel? You promised me on Monday. feel really bad. It was an
:06:31. > :06:35.impossible task, that's all I can say. Food wise, it can be done. But
:06:35. > :06:44.unreasonable with drink included. I think the rest of it you can get by.
:06:44. > :06:51.George, how long's it felt like? year. Feels like it was a year ago.
:06:51. > :06:55.Do you want to do this every week? Not every week, no. Thank you for
:06:56. > :06:59.taking our challenge, going through all this hardship and not having
:06:59. > :07:09.any treats. We thought we'd bring you a little reward. Do you want a
:07:09. > :07:10.
:07:10. > :07:17.reward? Yeah! Everyone close their eyes. There you go.
:07:17. > :07:23.Go on, mate, in you go. Proper tears there. What would make
:07:23. > :07:28.you cry your eyes out if you left out of your shopping trolley?
:07:28. > :07:33.live near a Waitrose, so �50 wouldn't even cover a can of tango
:07:33. > :07:36.and wagon wheel. Other shops are available. Other shops are
:07:36. > :07:44.available to charge you that much, yeah. What one item couldn't you
:07:44. > :07:49.live without? Probably metholated spirits. Without that I can't stop
:07:49. > :07:53.the screaming in my head. Only a joke! Come on kids. Healthy
:07:53. > :07:57.vegetables, which you can grow yourself. You don't need to spend
:07:57. > :08:02.anything on them. Just the price of seeds. I haven't grown anything in
:08:02. > :08:06.my life ever. It's good in theory. Yeah, good in theory. But I suppose
:08:06. > :08:11.my number one thing I couldn't live without is my pineapple ice lollies.
:08:11. > :08:14.They sound nice. I was going to say the company name, but they told me
:08:15. > :08:21.I wasn't allowed. If I asked him the man from this place would
:08:21. > :08:27.probably say yes, any way. Who does the shopping in your house, you or
:08:27. > :08:34.Mrs Mac? Mrs Macdoes the shopping, yes. That's not my real name, Mrs
:08:34. > :08:43.Mack. Nice ring to it. Lovely. erm... I didn't say anything. I had
:08:43. > :08:47.to bite my tongue. Mrs Mack does the shopping. We'll move on to Mr
:08:47. > :08:51.Mack's All Star Cast, which starts on Saturday. We recorded it last
:08:51. > :08:55.night. That's why I'm a bit hungover because of the after-show
:08:55. > :08:58.party. How did it go? You never know do you. You're probably the
:08:58. > :09:03.worst person to ask because you're in it. Only about half of them
:09:03. > :09:07.walked out. That's a good sign, isn't it? We'll know on Saturday
:09:07. > :09:13.when the general public let us know. We've had a sneak preview.
:09:13. > :09:18.haven't seen it. There's loads in it. We saw the pilot. Is it all
:09:18. > :09:23.right? We're going to see you in action with Tess Daly. Here's a
:09:23. > :09:31.little bit. Lee, thanks for the chat. I better
:09:31. > :09:37.get going. Hang on. I have a surprise for you. It's not a
:09:37. > :09:39.surprise. I've heard it's little. Come on, it's very romantic. Can I
:09:39. > :09:49.be blunt? Don't worry I've already got that covered...
:09:49. > :09:54.APPLAUSE James Blunt. Were you happy with
:09:54. > :09:57.that? Yes, very happy. It's a lot longer than that. I should point
:09:57. > :10:02.out it's a Saturday night variety show, not a sitcom. That's one
:10:02. > :10:06.sketch that we do at end. That's the thing, it's loaded with stuff.
:10:06. > :10:11.You have interviews in there. of public stuff. The audience take
:10:11. > :10:16.part. Also the people at home through internet, I feel lick a
:10:16. > :10:26.granddad now. Have you heard of computer. When you can speak and
:10:26. > :10:28.
:10:28. > :10:32.look at the webcam. Are you quite gentle with your public? It's a big
:10:32. > :10:36.thing to get up there and show their talent. We're not stupid. We
:10:36. > :10:39.don't let them off the stage, obviously. They will start taking
:10:39. > :10:43.over. We keep them in the audience. One of the features is we ask them
:10:43. > :10:47.who they think they look like. Some woman last night, which we're
:10:47. > :10:51.showing on Saturday, said that her mum was next to her, and said she
:10:51. > :10:55.thinks her mum looks like Jonny Vegas. That's a nice look for a 55-
:10:55. > :11:03.year-old woman. Is it true the first time you did stand-up you
:11:03. > :11:07.were gonged off? I was, yes. What happened? There's a guy in a gimp
:11:07. > :11:12.costume that used to stand next to the gong. People in the audience
:11:12. > :11:18.used to get up. He would gong you when the audience shouted. I went
:11:18. > :11:23.on with a suitcase of frozen fish. I used to taict fish out, that was
:11:23. > :11:26.the idea. I did a visual joke. I never got to it because I was
:11:27. > :11:34.gonged. You can do it now. always keep a bag with a lobster
:11:34. > :11:39.just in case. Just in case someone says they had a gag that they wrote
:11:39. > :11:43.and now they can't remember. This is like why I go shopping at
:11:43. > :11:46.Waitrose why my 50 quid doesn't go very far. I genuinely can't
:11:46. > :11:52.remember the joke I'm afraid. I would take them out like, that I
:11:52. > :11:55.had a lobster. I did the visual. But I never got to it. I used to
:11:55. > :11:58.carry the suitcase round with me to the shows and never got to the
:11:58. > :12:02.shows. It started to stink with the fish. I was a student and I
:12:02. > :12:06.couldn't afford to buy more. People would ask why I walked round with a
:12:06. > :12:10.suitcase of smelly fish, just in case in 15 years' time, I'm on the
:12:10. > :12:14.one shoi and they want me to talk about something. That would be a
:12:15. > :12:20.good feature and I would remember the joke. That's failed hasn't it.
:12:20. > :12:26.Saturday night. We'll look forward to it. Don't be shellfish, give it
:12:26. > :12:30.all that. Leave it to him. They make miracles happen every day. Our
:12:30. > :12:33.nation's midwives perform a vital service for mums and babies.
:12:33. > :12:41.the profession had a difficult birth. Historian Ruth Goodman goes
:12:41. > :12:46.back to the early 18th century to find out why. Here's a hint - men!
:12:46. > :12:52.Let's have a feel of the tummy. I think your little one has been the
:12:52. > :12:58.on the same time. -- side. FINA is part of a profession which
:12:58. > :13:03.has been delivering babies since the start. New medical advancements
:13:03. > :13:06.saw men muscle in on the miracle of child birth. I've come to the
:13:06. > :13:10.Wellcome Collection in London to find out more about the
:13:10. > :13:15.controversial history of midwifery. In the days before modern pain
:13:15. > :13:20.relief, there really wasn't much in the way of equipment. This is about
:13:20. > :13:25.Aztec anyical as it got, a birthing chair. This is from about 1750. To
:13:26. > :13:30.be honest, the modern ones are not dissimilar. It's gravity helping
:13:30. > :13:33.along. If this is pretty much the only tool a midwife had, she had
:13:33. > :13:39.other help. She had a range of birthing companions, women, and
:13:39. > :13:43.these were known as gossips. Originally the word meant God
:13:43. > :13:48.parent. In the birthing chamber, the gossips were the women who you
:13:48. > :13:52.trusted to have with you. What exactly are they doing? Well, their
:13:52. > :13:55.job was both practical and psychological. Their job was for
:13:55. > :14:02.instance to hold you in the position you were comfortable to
:14:02. > :14:07.give birth in. From 1550 midwives needed a license from the church to
:14:07. > :14:11.practice, but had no formal education. Men came into the
:14:11. > :14:14.birthing chamber when complications set in. By the mid-1600s educated
:14:14. > :14:19.male doctors were starting to assert their authority, with new
:14:19. > :14:23.equipment and interventions they were called man midwives. Invented
:14:23. > :14:27.in the early 17th century, these scary looking things are a pair of
:14:27. > :14:31.for accepts. They were designed to assist in difficult child birth.
:14:31. > :14:36.But very soon they came to challenge the position of women
:14:36. > :14:40.within the birth room, a symbol of the battle between men and women
:14:40. > :14:44.about exactly how a baby ought to be born.
:14:44. > :14:49.At a time when giving birth was dangerous, the for accepts could
:14:49. > :14:54.save lives by drawing the baby out quickly. Their increased use by man
:14:55. > :14:59.midwives pushed women out of the birthing room. If midwives were to
:14:59. > :15:06.retain any credibility they needed their own special tool, knowledge.
:15:06. > :15:10.In 1671 Jane Sharp wrote this book, the first ever midwifery man you'll,
:15:10. > :15:16.written by an English midwife. There are pictures of babies who
:15:16. > :15:20.are coming the wrong way round. And she explains what needs to be done
:15:20. > :15:24.to turn the babies. It's a coming together of the practical knowledge
:15:24. > :15:29.with the academic knowledge. Yeah, exactly. For instance, this is how
:15:29. > :15:34.she explains what should happen in a normal labour when it starts,
:15:34. > :15:40."When the patient feels her throws coming, she should walk easily in
:15:40. > :15:44.her chamber and then again lie down, keep herself warm, rest herself and
:15:44. > :15:49.then stir again, till she feel the waters coming down and the womb to
:15:49. > :15:53.o. "Most of it is just wanting women to understand how to do this
:15:53. > :16:00.job professionally. But the battle for recognition and professional
:16:00. > :16:04.status was going to be a long one. It wasn't until 1902 that female
:16:04. > :16:08.midwives got the recognition they deserved. The passing of the
:16:08. > :16:18.midwifery act brought proper regulation and training to the
:16:18. > :16:21.
:16:21. > :16:28.industry. 231 years after Jane Sharp published her book.
:16:28. > :16:34.We're coming to see a baby today. Today there are over 39,000 highly
:16:34. > :16:39.qualified male and female midwives in the UK. First and foremost
:16:39. > :16:42.midwives are trained. It's fairly intense, three years. I come
:16:42. > :16:47.equipped. I have drugs in my bag and bits of machinery I can use
:16:47. > :16:51.even at home. Most of us work in hospital. Are there any of the
:16:51. > :16:57.skills of old midwifery that you use in the modern practice?
:16:57. > :17:03.hands, my senses. I rely very much on my eyes, ears, sense of smell
:17:03. > :17:08.and touch. I was determined when I qualified, to be able to use all of
:17:08. > :17:12.those before technology. Advances in medical science mean that many
:17:12. > :17:16.less than 1% of children die in child birth these days. Though it's
:17:16. > :17:26.been a long and controversial journey for midwifery, it has all
:17:26. > :17:26.
:17:26. > :17:30.been worth it. What wonderful work they do. An
:17:30. > :17:36.aawww has gone round. Do you remember the name of your midwife,
:17:36. > :17:41.not yours, your wife's. You don't get equal rights as a man. It is as
:17:41. > :17:46.painful for the man as the woman. Really? With our second child we
:17:46. > :17:51.had a home birth. We had the inflatible pool thing. The water
:17:51. > :17:54.birth, that's the phrase. Was it down stairs or upstairs the pool?
:17:54. > :17:58.Not important to the anecdote, Matt. This is just padding, if I tell you
:17:59. > :18:02.where it was. It was on the middle floor next to the younger boy's
:18:02. > :18:07.bedroom. Just had it painted in blue. It's not adding anything.
:18:07. > :18:10.We're nearly at the end. We're all panicking, she gets in the pool,
:18:10. > :18:18.she has the baby and everything is fantastic. There's a knock on the
:18:19. > :18:25.door. A woman's there. I said "Who are you?" She said I'm the midwife.
:18:25. > :18:31.I asked who the woman was in the house. She said "I don't know. We
:18:31. > :18:36.went upstairs and there she was. I she was the trainee. I should have
:18:36. > :18:42.known, she was 13. Her jacket said Gregg's the bakers. You and your
:18:42. > :18:49.grand names. Or any other major bakeries. We have to gag you.
:18:49. > :18:53.was a cracking memory indeed. We're going to move on. How would you
:18:53. > :18:57.like to have your favourite memory brought to life? We want do that
:18:58. > :19:02.for you. By working with an amazing team of animator we can make it
:19:02. > :19:06.happen. We will tell you how to get involved shortly. Here's an example
:19:06. > :19:16.of what we're looking for. Gerry Ray tells us about the best present
:19:16. > :19:20.
:19:20. > :19:25.It was 1975. There wasn't a lot of money about. You knew there wasn't
:19:25. > :19:30.a lot of money about. The word "poor" wasn't mentioned, but you
:19:30. > :19:33.knew you hadn't got a lot. I was in from school, come down the stairs
:19:34. > :19:39.and all I could hear was "There's somebody at the door." There was a
:19:39. > :19:43.mate of mine standing at the gate. There was this brand new Raleigh
:19:43. > :19:49.bike, gold in colour. He was throwing his leg over the bike.
:19:49. > :19:54.First thing out of your mouth is "Give us a go." He says "No, my dad
:19:54. > :19:57.says nobody's allowed on this bike." Away he went. I'm looking
:19:58. > :20:01.down the street after him. Little did I know that my eldest brother
:20:01. > :20:06.had been watching the whole thing from the kitchen window. He was
:20:06. > :20:13.sort of like a father figure at the time. My brother came into the room
:20:13. > :20:20.and he said "Come in and see." I went into his room. I remember him
:20:20. > :20:25.pulling out this thing and put it on his bed, and in this ten were
:20:25. > :20:31.notes. He started to count it out properly. He says come on, we're
:20:31. > :20:38.going into the town. There was a place in the town where you could
:20:38. > :20:43.buy anything. We went into the shop and he turns round and says "Have a
:20:43. > :20:47.lock at that." All these Raleigh bikes on the right-hand side, all
:20:47. > :20:52.the Raleigh choppers on the other side. We are standing there and he
:20:52. > :20:56.says to me, "If you had a choice about any one of those bikes, what
:20:56. > :21:01.one would you take?" I remember scanning them all down. There was
:21:01. > :21:05.every colour imaginable. I pointed to a blue Raleigh chopper bike. It
:21:05. > :21:10.was the bike to have. The next thing he turned round and says to
:21:10. > :21:17.me "I'm going to buy that blue one for you today." I remember thinking
:21:17. > :21:23."oh, he's the best brother in the world". So I gets the bike onto the
:21:23. > :21:27.bus. As soon as the bus stops, I'm out, down past my house, into the
:21:27. > :21:31.cul-de-sac, stopped outside my mate's house, the one that had the
:21:31. > :21:35.Raleigh Tomahawk. I bounced in through the gate. I ran back out to
:21:35. > :21:40.get to the bike again. I didn't want to leave it for two seconds.
:21:40. > :21:45.He comes out. He says to me, "Where did you get that?" I says "My
:21:45. > :21:51.brother bought it today for me." He said to me, the same I said to him
:21:51. > :21:54."Give us a go." I said no, "My brother said I'm not allowed to get
:21:54. > :22:00.anybody on this bike." He didn't just buy me a bike. He gave me
:22:00. > :22:05.everything he had. Delightful animation, beautiful.
:22:05. > :22:08.Very nice. Remember, we are looking to create more of those fantastic
:22:08. > :22:18.animations. If you have a story of a day that changed you or treasure,
:22:18. > :22:24.
:22:24. > :22:31.Quite old school that, post. There you go. Speaking of old school,
:22:31. > :22:37.that bike, did you have a chopper? I see you more as a grister. I was
:22:37. > :22:43.a grister. -- Griff ter. You weren't allowed to have anyone on
:22:43. > :22:51.the back. So what's about the long seat? It's probably too late 30
:22:51. > :22:56.years later to complain about this. I was grifter. Was BMX before your
:22:56. > :23:01.time or after? BMX was way, way after my time. I had a bike as a
:23:01. > :23:04.kid. I was so proud of it, this is true. My mum and dad gave me a bike.
:23:04. > :23:08.They'd customised it. Three days after I had my bike, my brother
:23:08. > :23:13.went to the shed to get his bike and says "Where's my bike." My
:23:13. > :23:20.parents had nicked his bike and turned it into my bike without
:23:20. > :23:26.telling him. They resprayed his bike and gave it to me. Shouldn't
:23:26. > :23:30.laugh. We're getting loads of e- mails on that saying they can
:23:30. > :23:34.survive on less than �50 a week. The Who are one of Britain's
:23:34. > :23:39.biggest bands and can pack in the crowds. It was one particular gig
:23:39. > :23:46.that cemented their reputation, the concert that became the legendary
:23:46. > :23:51.Live at Leeds album. As Joel Grant finds out, it almost didn't --
:23:51. > :23:55.Carrie Grant finds out, it almost didn't happen. This is an extension
:23:55. > :24:00.lead and this is the best live album ever made. Without this, we
:24:00. > :24:04.may never have had this. In the late 60s The Who reflected the
:24:04. > :24:14.revolutionary spirit of the times, with a stage show that was exciting,
:24:14. > :24:17.
:24:17. > :24:24.The band wanted to capture their explosive live sound on record.
:24:24. > :24:30.They chose to record a concert in Leeds. Dr Simon Warner, Leeds
:24:30. > :24:35.University's lecturer in rock takes up the story. The Beatles had done
:24:35. > :24:38.extraordinary work. It was a wieldy affair to take gear on the road and
:24:38. > :24:45.record. It it was around this time that the scale of the equipment was
:24:45. > :24:47.about right to move it around and capture the sound faithfully.
:24:48. > :24:54.Roger Daltry, Keith Moon, Pete Townsend and John Entwhistle were
:24:54. > :24:58.at the height of their powers and ready to record. The students who
:24:58. > :25:03.organised the concert weren't sure they could cope. It quickly became
:25:03. > :25:07.clear that the venue didn't have enough power. The complications
:25:07. > :25:13.started on the Friday afternoon, when the recording equipment
:25:13. > :25:18.arrived. They asked for an additional supply of about 30amps.
:25:18. > :25:22.We didn't have it. The band had the biggest speaker rig the organisers
:25:22. > :25:28.had ever seen. So the recording gear had to move down stairs next
:25:28. > :25:32.to the kitchens. The only place with a separate power supply. I
:25:32. > :25:35.can't imagine them liking that very much. If they hadn't have done it,
:25:35. > :25:40.they wouldn't have had the recording. There wasn't the power
:25:40. > :25:43.available on the upper level. They tapped into the supply for the
:25:43. > :25:51.ovens. The Who made their album plugging into where they make the
:25:51. > :25:56.pizza. What a great thought. don't think we had pizza in 1970.
:25:56. > :25:58.The concert took place on Valentine's Day 1970. It all
:25:58. > :26:02.happened here. There were a thousand students who didn't have
:26:02. > :26:05.tickets. They had to climb onto the roof to feel the gig. Local people
:26:06. > :26:15.said the music was so loud, that you could hear it throughout the
:26:16. > :26:16.
:26:16. > :26:21.city centre. In the crowd was Nigel Abbot a
:26:21. > :26:25.geography student who found himself with a VIP access because of a
:26:25. > :26:29.cheap camera around his neck. was a passport to go to front and
:26:29. > :26:32.go into that area in front of the stage to wonder up and down and no-
:26:32. > :26:38.one questioned you. Wow! That really captures the atmosphere,
:26:38. > :26:43.accidents it? This was Roger Daltry. It was a very hot and sweaty night.
:26:43. > :26:51.They were on song that night. band they performed fantastically.
:26:51. > :27:00.It was one of those nights that just worked. It was just a
:27:00. > :27:04.fantastic night. Were your ears ringing after gig? Yes. When the
:27:04. > :27:07.record was released it came in this plain brown wrapper. The Who
:27:07. > :27:11.maintained they wanted the packaging to look like a boot
:27:11. > :27:16.legged copy. They wanted it to reflect the raw and powerful sound
:27:16. > :27:20.of the record inside the sleeve. The final twist in the Live at
:27:20. > :27:27.Leeds story is that it should have been live at Hull, where The Who
:27:27. > :27:31.recorded the following night's gig. They preferred the acoustics of the
:27:31. > :27:36.City Hall in Hull, but when they listened to the tapes they found
:27:36. > :27:40.that John Entwhistle's bass guitar hadn't been recorded. Who knows
:27:40. > :27:43.whether it would have been better if Hull had been released. We
:27:44. > :27:49.wouldn't have had Live at Leeds, in many ways I think that particular
:27:49. > :27:55.accident of history worked in The Who's favour, worked in the all
:27:55. > :28:01.bum's -- album's favour. Thanks to an extension cable, The Who put
:28:01. > :28:07.Leeds on the map. After The Who did it live albums became the in thing.
:28:07. > :28:10.The rolling stones tried to capture the same feeling. Nothing was as
:28:11. > :28:16.influential as Live at Leeds. Has anything gone wrong at your
:28:16. > :28:20.live gigs? Someone gave me the the -- the ultimate heckle. This
:28:20. > :28:24.drunken person was mouthing off. He drifted off. I thought that's the
:28:24. > :28:28.end of him. He found a Powerpoint at the back of the theatre and he
:28:28. > :28:32.pulled this thing out of the wall and the whole thing went to
:28:32. > :28:35.blackout. He managed to find the one thing if you pull out it fuses
:28:35. > :28:40.everything. I had to just shout in the darkness, the gig for the next
:28:40. > :28:45.ten mib its, until it came back on. I would like to tell you how I won
:28:45. > :28:51.it round, but I didn't. To be honest, we haven't got time Lee.
:28:51. > :28:54.That's it. Thank you for coming on. Lee Mack's All Star Cast is on
