:00:37. > :00:44.# And I would walk 500 miles. # And I would walk 500 more.
:00:45. > :00:49.# Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles.
:00:50. > :00:55.# To fall down at your door. What a start! Welcome to the One
:00:56. > :01:00.Show with Matt Baker. And Alex Jones, and a massive thank you to
:01:01. > :01:05.the Proclaimers, special house band will be telling us about the movie
:01:06. > :01:09.that celibate all their songs later. But forget 500 miles for now,
:01:10. > :01:14.because our brand-new friends will be going 700 miles right around the
:01:15. > :01:18.country for the brand-new rickshaw challenge which returns to the road
:01:19. > :01:21.for Children in Need. And the first to cheer them on, a man who search
:01:22. > :01:26.for love and romance has taken him away from these shores to America,
:01:27. > :01:30.and apparently he has told them he is a big rap star over here.
:01:31. > :01:34.# Yo, back up now and give a brother room. # The fuse is lit and I'm
:01:35. > :01:37.about to go boom. # Mercy, mercy, mercy me.
:01:38. > :01:39.# My life is a cage but on stage I'm free.
:01:40. > :01:42.# Hyped up, psyched up, ready for wilin'.
:01:43. > :01:45.# Standing in a crowd of girls like a island.
:01:46. > :01:47.# I see the one I want, I said "Come here, cutie". # I flip her around
:01:48. > :02:00.and then I work that That is fantastic! I heard he did
:02:01. > :02:09.Single Ladies by Beyonce. Bordered on, we all enjoy it!
:02:10. > :02:19.It is Stephen Merchant! Yes! We should have had you doing that on
:02:20. > :02:24.the way in, Stephen. That was just identical to Beyonce. Some people
:02:25. > :02:30.can barely tell the difference. One of the biggest shows in America, how
:02:31. > :02:33.long did that take the reverse? I did not really realise it at all, it
:02:34. > :02:40.is just in me, I can channel Beyonce. If Jay Z were here, he
:02:41. > :02:47.wouldn't know the difference. Were you doing it in your aeroplane seat
:02:48. > :02:55.on the way over? No, I did a film a while back with a rehearsal for a
:02:56. > :03:00.dance scene, and the other one I had nonsense I was at college, TV magic!
:03:01. > :03:06.We might just floated in at any point, so get ready. We will be
:03:07. > :03:11.asking Stephen Merchant more about how he became a poster boy all over
:03:12. > :03:14.Hollywood a little bit later. Last year, our young Children in Need
:03:15. > :03:18.rickshaw riders struggled through the pain barrier despite many
:03:19. > :03:26.personal challenges to complete their 411 mile journey. They have
:03:27. > :03:31.all benefited from project supported by the charity, and they wanted to
:03:32. > :03:38.do their bit. They just excelled themselves. They said we did, and
:03:39. > :03:42.your response was amazing, raising ?1.5 million. And now the rickshaw
:03:43. > :03:50.is back, but who is going to ride it this time? New
:03:51. > :04:09.My name is Peter, I come from Cornwall. Six years ago, I was in a
:04:10. > :04:16.car accident, in which I sadly lost my mum and sister, but I survived. I
:04:17. > :04:20.was supported by a charity which is also supported by Children in Need,
:04:21. > :04:25.and what they did was help media with my bereavement, and what better
:04:26. > :04:29.way to give back then to have this opportunity to do the rich or
:04:30. > :04:35.challenge? I am doing it with my dad. It is going to be good, father
:04:36. > :04:40.and son doing it together. My dad is really competitive, and so am I. We
:04:41. > :04:47.will push each other. I am Bethany, I have got down syndrome. This is my
:04:48. > :04:55.mum Amanda, and she is brilliant. Me and mum are a team now, and my mum,
:04:56. > :05:06.she will be good on the big yellow bike. And she is happy about doing
:05:07. > :05:12.it. Let's do this! Yes, let's do it. My name is Eleanor, I am 16, and I
:05:13. > :05:16.was born with a cleft lip, it cannot really knocks my confidence, because
:05:17. > :05:21.I felt nobody understood. I am doing the challenge with my dad. She is
:05:22. > :05:26.much more confidence now than she was, but it has been a difficult
:05:27. > :05:33.half, let's say. I genuinely cannot wait.
:05:34. > :05:39.I am Daniel, I had meningitis when I was 14 and a half. I was bedridden
:05:40. > :05:46.for four months. This is my mum Carol, and she is like my guardian
:05:47. > :05:51.angel. It means so much to Daniel, it is just the opportunity of a
:05:52. > :05:58.lifetime, and I did think we would ever get there. Excited! My name is
:05:59. > :06:02.Martin, I am missing both my hands and half of my left leg, and I am
:06:03. > :06:06.doing the rickshaw challenge because I believe it is a great way to raise
:06:07. > :06:11.money for Children in Need and will be an adventure for everyone
:06:12. > :06:17.involved. I am doing the challenge with Alex. I think the hardest thing
:06:18. > :06:20.is going to be the hills, so at those points I am going to sit on
:06:21. > :06:25.the rickshaw, and Martin will push the rickshaw. Now that we are
:06:26. > :06:29.actually doing the challenge, the excitement, I can't explain it.
:06:30. > :06:36.Hopefully we're going to raise a lot of money.
:06:37. > :06:42.As Alex is over there, I could get used to this, why don't you do her
:06:43. > :07:08.job? Welcome Team Rickshaw! There we are! There is me joining in
:07:09. > :07:13.with the Proclaimers, sorry! You walked over on the way, it is quite
:07:14. > :07:17.a route, this. Yes, here we are, we have a map of our journey on the
:07:18. > :07:21.team, we start at Giant's Causeway in more than Ireland, then we get on
:07:22. > :07:27.a boat, still cycling on the boat across the sea into Scotland, to
:07:28. > :07:32.Dumfries, then down to Kendall, Bolton, Birmingham, into
:07:33. > :07:37.Abergavenny, over the Oxford, ending up in Elstree, in Hertfordshire. It
:07:38. > :07:44.is a pretty long journey, 700 miles. You're ready? Let's do it!
:07:45. > :07:49.Amanda, give us an idea of why you are involved. I am so excited to do
:07:50. > :07:52.something with Bethany, to give back to such a wonderful charity, and
:07:53. > :07:57.everything is so much fun for Children in Need, and this is going
:07:58. > :08:03.to be great fun. It is the fact that you are riding by night as well. 22
:08:04. > :08:16.hours, you are laughing now, Bethany! Are you doing it as well,
:08:17. > :08:22.Alex? She is being Martin's adult! It is weird, I am being his mum! You
:08:23. > :08:29.saw it, didn't you, last? That inspired you to take part.
:08:30. > :08:32.Definitely, last year me and the family watched it, we got behind the
:08:33. > :08:38.charity, and it was something I wanted to do. You did not think you
:08:39. > :08:44.would be paired with me, did you? Sorry! How has the training been
:08:45. > :08:50.going? Not too bad... Show as your arm, look at this, Stephen! I had a
:08:51. > :08:59.bit of an accident on Monday. Did you fall off? I had a bit of a crash
:09:00. > :09:06.with another bike and I came clean off, bruises everywhere. How are you
:09:07. > :09:09.about this? Happy? I'm not so happy about the bruise, we will get over
:09:10. > :09:12.that, but the challenge and everything else is going to be
:09:13. > :09:17.amazing, I am really looking forward to it. How do you feel about going
:09:18. > :09:22.through the night? I feel pretty comfortable with that, I am looking
:09:23. > :09:27.forward to it. Are you a night owl? Sometimes! We will get you some
:09:28. > :09:31.copy. Along the way you are going to be supported by Pudsey, and over the
:09:32. > :09:35.last few nights he has been cropping up in some rather unusual places,
:09:36. > :09:39.hasn't it you might he has, and apparently, we did not know, he was
:09:40. > :09:44.over our shoulder, you know where the cleaner sometimes is? He was
:09:45. > :09:49.doing a bit of hoovering, and some of you did notice, because we have
:09:50. > :09:53.had e-mails in. Debbie Doyle on Facebook said, did I see Pudsey
:09:54. > :09:59.hoovering in the background or am I going mad? Extends you are not, he
:10:00. > :10:06.was there. Gemma says, why is Pudsey dancing in the cupboard? That made
:10:07. > :10:09.me chuckle, but there we are. Sue Wilson also spotted him. The reason
:10:10. > :10:13.why everybody is doing this is to raise as much money as we can for
:10:14. > :10:16.Children in Need, and we are going to be following the rickshaw every
:10:17. > :10:20.single mile of the weight on the show over the next month. So you
:10:21. > :10:24.have not got long to get training, you lot! This is how you can do your
:10:25. > :10:32.bit, please dig deep into your pockets again this year. To donate
:10:33. > :10:38.?5 to Children in Need, text TEAM to 70705. Text messages will cost ?5
:10:39. > :10:45.plus your standard network charge, and ?5 will go to Children in Need.
:10:46. > :10:49.Go to the website for full terms and conditions. We will see you later,
:10:50. > :10:55.but thanks for dropping in, and at this stage we wish you all the very
:10:56. > :11:01.best! Team Rickshaw, everybody! That is it, there we are! Let's
:11:02. > :11:05.catch up with the mums who have joined the workforce at Total Jobs.
:11:06. > :11:09.They think they have got plenty to offer their children by way of
:11:10. > :11:26.motherly advice and support, and they might just be right.
:11:27. > :11:32.Website boss John has decided to mix home life with the office in an
:11:33. > :11:36.effort to create a close and it family of workers. Diaz invited the
:11:37. > :11:40.mums of three employees to come into work for a week, and so far they
:11:41. > :11:45.have offered their children frank insight on how to do their jobs
:11:46. > :11:51.better. Why haven't you done it before? The mums were worried that
:11:52. > :11:59.breakfast had become a solitary ritual, it needed a mother's touch.
:12:00. > :12:09.Surely a happy of his shares breakfast, like a family. Come on,
:12:10. > :12:15.bunch in! But will be mothers go too far, spoiling them? I am doing
:12:16. > :12:24.spreadsheets today. Yeah, all day long! I thought breakfast was
:12:25. > :12:30.perfectly laid out, great service, very tasty. Good to have a bit of
:12:31. > :12:34.time to relax and have food. It was nice to not be at my computer to eat
:12:35. > :12:38.breakfast, it would be welcome to have an area where we can sit and
:12:39. > :12:43.eat. So what is wrong with this, the perfect way to start the day? It
:12:44. > :12:47.would be difficult to replicate for 350 people every morning, but maybe
:12:48. > :12:51.we could have something where certain groups got together and had
:12:52. > :12:57.breakfast once in awhile, I don't see why not. But for some people,
:12:58. > :13:01.such as account manager Tori, a joint breakfast is a bad idea,
:13:02. > :13:06.whatever mum Jackie thinks. You did not want to come for breakfast? I
:13:07. > :13:12.prefer to keep myself to myself. To managing the last night, then?
:13:13. > :13:18.Jackie has been informed by the boss that Tory's problems extend beyond
:13:19. > :13:22.breakfast. She can be a bit disorganised sometimes, she likes to
:13:23. > :13:25.do things at 100 miles per hour, doing five things instead of
:13:26. > :13:30.concentrating on two or three. Today organisation is essential as Tori is
:13:31. > :13:35.due to hold a very important client meeting. So you are busy this
:13:36. > :13:41.morning, lots are? I have a meeting today at 3:30pm. I would like you to
:13:42. > :13:49.come along. You would like me to come along to the meeting? I might
:13:50. > :13:52.do. Taxi driving Jackie has never worked in an office before, but she
:13:53. > :13:58.is convinced that she has got what it takes. I pick up lots of
:13:59. > :14:03.different people, people with their shopping, disabled people, elderly
:14:04. > :14:06.people. I think this is why I might be able to help Victoria with the
:14:07. > :14:11.job she does, because I'm young used to dealing with lots of people at
:14:12. > :14:17.all different levels. -- I am used to. Time to look at another mum.
:14:18. > :14:23.Sheila was left not exactly over the moon by daughter Jill's presentation
:14:24. > :14:28.to her team. I cannot work out how to use my computer. I cannot
:14:29. > :14:32.remember my password. An experienced public speaker in her own right,
:14:33. > :14:36.Sheila told Jill how she should behave. If you do not know what to
:14:37. > :14:42.do with your hands, just hold them together. It is time for her big
:14:43. > :14:50.test. She has got to convince the bosses that she is good at
:14:51. > :14:55.presentation. Morning, everybody. I feel a little bit nervous for her. I
:14:56. > :15:05.have got a short presentation, it won't take too long. OK... I am
:15:06. > :15:09.worried that she needs to stand up, so she has power over the audience.
:15:10. > :15:15.So the project is about improving the job-seeker experience by
:15:16. > :15:19.improving quality... Hopefully she will have done all the points that
:15:20. > :15:23.we said. Success for us would be to implement a change in the red area
:15:24. > :15:27.in order to increase the application rate and get the jobs in front of
:15:28. > :15:31.the job-seekers that need them. May be Sheila should stay in the
:15:32. > :15:41.background, but she cannot resist getting involved. I just wondered if
:15:42. > :15:45.you could give me some feedback? It was nice that she talked about
:15:46. > :15:50.engaging with people and ensuring that the content she was going to
:15:51. > :15:53.deliver kept our attention. When I first started doing presentations, I
:15:54. > :16:01.practised in front of a mirror, because then you appear how you look
:16:02. > :16:06.to your audience. It has been really fun spending time with my mum. It
:16:07. > :16:11.has been a long time since we have had any time together. She has
:16:12. > :16:16.taught me a few things, particularly around organisation. I have enjoyed
:16:17. > :16:25.having her around. The well done. Proud of you. Coming up, Tori is now
:16:26. > :16:31.full of beans, ready to meet her client, but has mum's advice made
:16:32. > :16:37.the difference? You have just got to blag it.
:16:38. > :16:45.Another instalment will come later. Stephen, you have shaved. I have not
:16:46. > :16:52.got anything to promote. On the theme, of taking your parents to
:16:53. > :17:02.work, you have done that. My father has popped up here and there. He
:17:03. > :17:17.popped up in The Office briefly as a caretaker. He brought those toilet
:17:18. > :17:22.rolls himself. Is he interacting? -- into acting? Well, he occasionally
:17:23. > :17:26.gets recognised. My mum got jealous because she was always too nervous
:17:27. > :17:31.to do it, but eventually, in the new series, both of them were extras in
:17:32. > :17:38.the background. We have got a picture. So I am on a date with this
:17:39. > :17:48.girl, and then after filming, my parents ask, how will we? And I did
:17:49. > :17:55.not know. They said they have a whole back story. The continuity was
:17:56. > :17:58.excellent. So that is your new series called Hello Ladies. It is
:17:59. > :18:05.based on a stand-up tour that you did a couple of years ago. But has
:18:06. > :18:13.moved on, and you have taken your relationship problems in the story
:18:14. > :18:19.to LA. How and why LA? I did the stand-up show in Los Angeles, and
:18:20. > :18:25.HBO came to the show. They said, it would be fun to take this character
:18:26. > :18:29.and put him in LA. I was very out of place even in the stand-up show. I
:18:30. > :18:33.am always out of place because I am freakishly tall. If you put that in
:18:34. > :18:40.LA, where the body is five foot five, I look even more out of place.
:18:41. > :18:46.And they thought that clash would be fun, with me trying to access this
:18:47. > :18:57.world of lamb and beautiful people. We watched it earlier and loved it.
:18:58. > :19:12.Let's have a look. Use or Lindsay talking to Sean? Classic! Hey, guys.
:19:13. > :19:27.You guys want another drink? I am buying the drinks tonight. Soda.
:19:28. > :19:34.More drinks? He is buying. Yeah! It is so cringeworthy, in a good way.
:19:35. > :19:37.But how much of it is based on your experience? I am surprised when
:19:38. > :19:42.people say it is cringeworthy, because that is what my life is
:19:43. > :19:46.like. I try and get into nightclubs in LA. Sometimes I am on the list,
:19:47. > :19:54.and they will not let me in. One time, I tried to get into a club and
:19:55. > :20:00.I said I, coming? And the guy went, no. We want people in here who will
:20:01. > :20:09.provide glamour, not IT support. I just don't fit in that world. This
:20:10. > :20:13.must have been full on, because you direct aid and wrote it. It is an
:20:14. > :20:18.big channels in America. Did you feel under incredible pressure? Kind
:20:19. > :20:23.of, but at the same time, it is exciting. Did nothing doing exciting
:20:24. > :20:31.stuff is being on the red carpet, but the fun thing is the work. I
:20:32. > :20:37.guess it is important to remember that. How does it feel to see your
:20:38. > :20:40.face on these big billboards? I am furious, because my billboard is
:20:41. > :20:44.everywhere in LA, and I am here. I should be taking girls to
:20:45. > :20:49.restaurants where there was a billboard outside the window. The
:20:50. > :20:59.whole thing has been poorly thought through. I was there for hours,
:21:00. > :21:07.waiting for girls to pass by. You have obviously spent a lot of time
:21:08. > :21:17.in LA. British or American girls? Any girls are fine. Dump, snog or
:21:18. > :21:21.marry - Scottish, English, American? Do you think I am a maniac? Why
:21:22. > :21:27.would I dismiss two thirds of womankind? That would be absurd.
:21:28. > :21:31.Does the series have a happy ending? Well, the guy is a bit selfish. Over
:21:32. > :21:38.the course of the series, he mature is a bit and grows as a human. Maybe
:21:39. > :21:41.one day, there will be a happy ending. You can see Stephen in Hello
:21:42. > :21:47.Ladies on Sky Atlantic from tonight at ten o'clock. And because Stephen
:21:48. > :21:52.is looking for love and The Proclaimers are on later, we want
:21:53. > :21:56.your romantic pictures tonight. If you have recently found love or you
:21:57. > :21:59.want to celebrate love that has lasted, send a picture of the two of
:22:00. > :22:04.you and we will do something special at the end. Back in 1914, the First
:22:05. > :22:09.World War recruitment arrives extended into sport. The British
:22:10. > :22:13.government believed that the bonds formed on the football pitch will
:22:14. > :22:20.transfer to the battlefield. Clapton orient embraced the recruitment
:22:21. > :22:24.drive. Whenever Britain has something to
:22:25. > :22:32.say, chances are, it will say it in Trafalgar Square. After the outbreak
:22:33. > :22:39.of the First World War, Trafalgar Square spoke four words loud and
:22:40. > :22:43.clear. Your country needs you. The British government believed the key
:22:44. > :22:47.to victory was overwhelming manpower, a huge volunteer army
:22:48. > :22:52.drawn from all classes of society. To boost numbers, men were
:22:53. > :22:59.encouraged to sign up with members of their own community with work
:23:00. > :23:05.colleagues. On the front line, they would build on the strong bonds
:23:06. > :23:09.formed at home. It was a clarion call to all walks of life, even
:23:10. > :23:13.football. This is then club, Leyton Orient, led from the front. Act
:23:14. > :23:20.them, they were known as Clapton orient, fighting in -- fighting for
:23:21. > :23:23.glory in England's top division. Clapton Orient became the first
:23:24. > :23:27.English football club to volunteer en masse. 41 of the players and
:23:28. > :23:32.staff signed up to fight. The orient captain, Fred Parker, spider to his
:23:33. > :23:37.team-mates, was one of the first to volunteer. He was joined by the
:23:38. > :23:42.club's top scorer, Richard McFadden, and Willie Jonas, a dashing
:23:43. > :23:44.right-winger notorious for the letters he received from female
:23:45. > :23:49.fans. Richard and Willie were in their early 20. Like many orient
:23:50. > :23:53.players, they had grown up together and been friends most of their
:23:54. > :23:56.lives. Eager to serve King and country, Clapton orient had licked
:23:57. > :24:00.the blue touch paper. Hundreds of layers from other clubs followed
:24:01. > :24:06.their lead. The footballs' battalion was born. All volunteers, the 1600
:24:07. > :24:13.strong footballers' battalion had to pass recruitment test is. Having
:24:14. > :24:17.that height recorded, their chests measured and their personal details
:24:18. > :24:23.noted. Before they were given their first day's wages. That is what you
:24:24. > :24:28.would get paid. ?15 a day, the King's shilling. The Clapton players
:24:29. > :24:33.had signed up to fight, but first they had to finish the 1915 season.
:24:34. > :24:39.Their final home game is known as the khaki cup final. 20,000 fans
:24:40. > :24:44.cheered them on to a 2-0 win. As the crowd said goodbye to their heroes,
:24:45. > :24:54.Millfield Stadium turned into a war rally. In August 1916, the first
:24:55. > :24:58.taste of action for spider, Richard, Willie and the rest of the
:24:59. > :25:01.footballers' battalion was the war's bloodiest encounter, the
:25:02. > :25:07.battle of the Somme. Imagine how it would have felt play the last game
:25:08. > :25:12.of the and then head off to war. We have got each other's back on the
:25:13. > :25:15.football field, but if they said, let's go to war together, it is a
:25:16. > :25:22.completely different thing. Hard to get your head around. We have to be
:25:23. > :25:31.close as 18. We have to be good friends. In the trenches, Clapton
:25:32. > :25:34.and Willie Jonas faced the ultimate horror together. In late summer
:25:35. > :25:39.1916, the club received a letter from Richard. Both Willie and I were
:25:40. > :25:45.trapped in a trench near the front in the Somme in France. William
:25:46. > :25:50.turned to me and said, good buy, best of luck. Special love to my
:25:51. > :25:57.sweetheart and best regards to the lads. Before I could reply to him,
:25:58. > :26:03.he was up and over. No sooner had he jumped up out of the trench, my best
:26:04. > :26:12.friend of nearly 20 years was killed before my eyes. We have got a strong
:26:13. > :26:18.bond between us as a team, but that takes it to another level. That they
:26:19. > :26:23.could all fight for one another. Willie, Richard and another Orient
:26:24. > :26:28.player, George Scott, had lost their lives. 38 of the 41 orient players
:26:29. > :26:34.and staff did survive the war, but many of them were so badly injured
:26:35. > :26:39.that they never played again. Dan Snow is here, because it has
:26:40. > :26:44.been a big day for you. Relaunching four years of programming with the
:26:45. > :26:50.director-general. Yes, thousands of hours of footage across the radio,
:26:51. > :26:56.TV and online. Here, we have some highlights of the BBC's coverage of
:26:57. > :27:01.World War I. How does an army of several million men defeat another
:27:02. > :27:09.army of several million men? We have all got to fight in a war because of
:27:10. > :27:15.that? Yes. We might get filled! But for a good cause. Nothing that might
:27:16. > :27:20.provoke masculine attention. Whatever woman you were, you are no
:27:21. > :27:23.longer that woman. What if the British decided not to intervene in
:27:24. > :27:28.1914 and to leave the French and Russians to fight the Germans on
:27:29. > :27:33.their own? With there have even one world war, never mind two? All this
:27:34. > :27:38.to mark the centenary of the First World War. This is not celebratory,
:27:39. > :27:42.it is about remembrance is. It is about remembering the enormous
:27:43. > :27:47.sacrifice, millions of lives destroyed across the world. If we
:27:48. > :27:56.pay respect to those who sacrificed, hopefully, we might not make those
:27:57. > :28:03.mistakes again. In those clips, you were watching 37 days, a drama, also
:28:04. > :28:08.Horrible Histories, and the pity of War, the argument about whether we
:28:09. > :28:13.should have one to war in the first place. Also is of stuff, and there
:28:14. > :28:16.are other programmes commemorating the role of people played across
:28:17. > :28:20.China, Asia, thousands of people enrolled in the armies to fight
:28:21. > :28:26.either in Europe or other theatres. The role of women in World War I,
:28:27. > :28:35.how that changed society. It will be an extraordinary commemoration. And
:28:36. > :28:39.you are doing something? We are asking for people's archives. We are
:28:40. > :28:42.going to museums around the world. People hope Lee might have stuff
:28:43. > :28:48.from their ancestors. We are going to gather it all together and stick
:28:49. > :28:52.together the experience of World War I in people's words. We will make it
:28:53. > :29:00.a searchable database which will be accessible until the end of time.
:29:01. > :29:05.2500 hours, Stephen. I am excited by this. World War I is interesting. It
:29:06. > :29:13.tends to get forgotten because there is so much about World War II. And
:29:14. > :29:17.yet it is not long ago. As well as the moving footage that will be
:29:18. > :29:22.shown across the BBC, there are lots of photography exhibitions to mark
:29:23. > :29:26.the centenary as well. Every museum, every town council. There
:29:27. > :29:32.will be exhibitions all over the place. We have got one here called
:29:33. > :29:41.fields of Apple. -- fields of Apple. This was a trench at the Battle of
:29:42. > :29:45.the Somme, 1916. And this is a hauntingly beautiful aerial shot.
:29:46. > :29:56.The best preserved section of a trench. Those wiggly lines. You can
:29:57. > :30:02.see the shell holes are still there. Over 80% of people attacked on the
:30:03. > :30:04.first day in that section were killed or wounded. Shocking
:30:05. > :30:15.casualties figures. Extraordinary place to go. This is Messines Ridge,
:30:16. > :30:19.you can see the devastation, and this was the biggest, I think it is
:30:20. > :30:24.the biggest man-made explosion before nuclear, the biggest
:30:25. > :30:28.deliberate explosion, 600 tonnes of high explosive. They dug them under
:30:29. > :30:32.German lines for a few months, they killed 10,000 Germans in a split
:30:33. > :30:36.second, one of the most appalling moments in military history. And to
:30:37. > :30:41.see it today, you would never believe it, would you? In a way, it
:30:42. > :30:44.makes you feel happy, because the land and the scenery can repair
:30:45. > :30:48.itself, but then you think some of the human scars run deeper. That is
:30:49. > :30:53.it today, you would not know, would you? So tranquil, thank you very
:30:54. > :30:56.much, and in a moment we will be talking to the Proclaimers, whose
:30:57. > :31:00.music inspired a film about two lads who returned from war, but in this
:31:01. > :31:02.case Afghanistan. Have you thought about what you are
:31:03. > :31:11.going to do? Come here!
:31:12. > :31:15.Craig and Charlie will be here shortly, but first campaigners are
:31:16. > :31:18.celebrating the fact that the first-ever wind farm in Britain has
:31:19. > :31:23.been removed from the Yorkshire Dales near elderly after 20 years.
:31:24. > :31:28.However, applications for wind farms have risen sharply in other parts of
:31:29. > :31:31.the country, and in Scotland alone there are seven planning
:31:32. > :31:35.applications per day. Meanwhile, a scheme to households cut energy
:31:36. > :31:41.bills has had slow start. Here is Lucy.
:31:42. > :31:46.In January, the Government launched a scheme called the Green deal. The
:31:47. > :31:51.idea was to help people pay for energy-saving improvements by
:31:52. > :31:54.offering them long-term loans of up to ?10,000. The repayments would be
:31:55. > :31:59.covered by the savings on energy bills. To find out if you are
:32:00. > :32:03.eligible for the Green Deal, you have to get a survey done by a
:32:04. > :32:09.certified Green Deal assessor, and that is what is happening here.
:32:10. > :32:15.Helen and her family live in an Edwardian terraced houses in London.
:32:16. > :32:19.She has paid ?132 for an assessment to find out what changes are needed
:32:20. > :32:22.at her home to make it more energy-efficient and if she is
:32:23. > :32:27.eligible for Green Deal finance. This is one of more than 71,000
:32:28. > :32:31.assessments that have already been done on homes across Britain. But
:32:32. > :32:34.despite all those assessments, eight months into the scheme, just 12
:32:35. > :32:40.people have signed on the dotted line for Green Deal finance and have
:32:41. > :32:44.the work completed. That is far fewer than government Mr
:32:45. > :32:49.Greg Barker was hoping for. Back in January, this is what he told BBC
:32:50. > :32:53.Radio 4. I would not be sleeping if we did not have 10,000 by the end of
:32:54. > :32:57.the year. Why have so few of us signed up to the Green Deal? Well,
:32:58. > :33:03.one factor could be the interest rate on the loans, which are
:33:04. > :33:05.sometimes as high as 10.3%. The Federation of Master builders think
:33:06. > :33:10.that could be putting people off Mac. It is turning into a no deal
:33:11. > :33:14.for us at the moment, you would be better off going to your local bank
:33:15. > :33:19.or building society and taking out a loan, it does not stack up
:33:20. > :33:23.financially. The loan is attached to the property, not the person - is
:33:24. > :33:27.that a good thing or a bad thing? For many people, that is a good
:33:28. > :33:30.thing because they can get a loan attached to their property, but for
:33:31. > :33:35.others it is an attractive. The new owner would have to take on the
:33:36. > :33:38.debt, maybe up to 25 years, as long as your mortgage. People are not
:33:39. > :33:43.going to undertake a Green Deal if it does not stack up financially.
:33:44. > :33:48.The roll-out of the Green Deal has so far cost more than ?16 million,
:33:49. > :33:52.so how does climate change minister Greg Barker feel it has gone? You
:33:53. > :33:56.famously said, when this started, that if you did not have 10,000
:33:57. > :34:00.people signed up by the end of the year, he would not be sleeping well.
:34:01. > :34:05.Given you have got 12, how are you sleeping? Well, not too bad, but
:34:06. > :34:18.we're close to 1000 people now who have got into the Green Deal finance
:34:19. > :34:21.pipeline, so it is a lot more than 12. It is nowhere near 10,000 yet,
:34:22. > :34:23.but the good news is something like 80,000 people have had an
:34:24. > :34:26.assessment, and of those over 80% of them have said that they have had
:34:27. > :34:29.measures or are likely to install measures in their homes as a result
:34:30. > :34:32.of the Green Deal assessment. It is just that not all of them are using
:34:33. > :34:38.the Green Deal finance. Hardly any of them! But that is not a bad thing
:34:39. > :34:42.in itself. The benchmark of success is the Green Deal, are people
:34:43. > :34:46.getting an assessment and then putting in Green Deal measures?
:34:47. > :34:50.Bottle people we have spoken to say they are put off because of the
:34:51. > :34:54.interest rate on the loan, which can be above 10%. The average interest
:34:55. > :35:00.rate is about 6.9%, and that is not bad. You have got to remember that
:35:01. > :35:03.is for 25 years potentially, and there is no other product on the
:35:04. > :35:08.market, even a mortgage, where you can get an interest rate fixed for
:35:09. > :35:11.that period of time. Back in West Dulwich, the assessment has been
:35:12. > :35:15.finished on the home. The assessor is recommending she has a range of
:35:16. > :35:21.work done, including double glazing and solar panels. It could cost up
:35:22. > :35:26.to ?36,000 and could save her ?900 per year on her Energy Bill. So what
:35:27. > :35:31.do you think? Are you going to go for it? Yes, in terms of the energy
:35:32. > :35:35.efficiency, not in terms of the finance. I think the rates of the
:35:36. > :35:40.loans are quite high, so I am trying to understand why I do not adjust
:35:41. > :35:42.the mortgage or take out a loan. Putting some insulation in the
:35:43. > :35:49.floor, the assessment says we will make a saving of ?90 per year. You
:35:50. > :35:54.know, I have to take up floorboards, skirting boards,
:35:55. > :35:59.paintwork, Dado rails - do you want to go through that for ?90 per year?
:36:00. > :36:02.It is clear the Green Deal has not fired the imagination of the public
:36:03. > :36:06.so far. The target of 10,000 people signing up by the end of the year
:36:07. > :36:10.now looks wildly optimistic. Time will tell, we will see what
:36:11. > :36:17.happens. Welcome to the Proclaimers! Yes! It has all gone a bit weird,
:36:18. > :36:24.because I do not think we have three guests that look so similar .Mac the
:36:25. > :36:36.DNA results are in! I am the third Proclaimers. We have got Stephen,
:36:37. > :36:40.Charlie and Craig. On that theme, on wind farms in Scotland, what are
:36:41. > :36:46.your opinions? Everybody talks about the subsidy from wind farms, how
:36:47. > :36:52.much it costs, but in Private I today, they said that EDF have a
:36:53. > :36:56.huge subsidy for nuclear, so whoever is building more, we will have a
:36:57. > :37:00.mixture of a lot of sources of power. Everybody seems to be getting
:37:01. > :37:06.subsidies. As regards how they look, you get used to them maybe. People
:37:07. > :37:12.are torn, and they? Let's talk about the new film, it is out in cinemas
:37:13. > :37:16.now, Sunshine On Leith, it has had rave reviews. How did it start off
:37:17. > :37:23.as a musical and then it was adapted into a film? Yes, it started in 2007
:37:24. > :37:27.as a stage musical, I think they did one run, and then a couple of years
:37:28. > :37:31.later they did it again bigger and better, and then a third run, and by
:37:32. > :37:35.that time they knew it would be a film, it was just a matter of
:37:36. > :37:40.finance. But the original stage musical, I think, was two hours 20,
:37:41. > :37:45.and they got the film down to one hour 40, so there is a lot you can
:37:46. > :37:50.do with film, but we did not want it to feel rushed. They did a fantastic
:37:51. > :37:56.job. Were you happy with your music being made into a musical? It is a
:37:57. > :37:59.short hop from musical to film than it is to getting a musical off the
:38:00. > :38:05.ground. We were sceptical, we did not think it work, but the writer
:38:06. > :38:10.really got inside the lyrics and used that to grow a story out of. So
:38:11. > :38:13.it was a beautiful marriage between the things, but the writer really
:38:14. > :38:16.got inside the lyrics and used that to grow a story out of. So it was a
:38:17. > :38:19.beautiful marriage between the thing is, between the songs and the
:38:20. > :38:24.script. We kind of felt that it would work as a film. One of your
:38:25. > :38:36.most well-known songs, 500 Miles, it takes on a romantic feel in the
:38:37. > :38:51.film, let's have a look. # And I would walk 500 miles.
:38:52. > :38:54.And# And I would walk 500 more. # Just to be the man who walks a
:38:55. > :39:01.thousand miles. # To fall down at your door.
:39:02. > :39:10.That is beautiful. Were used studied behind the cameras when those young
:39:11. > :39:15.people were singing? For a long time, we had a rehearsal room in
:39:16. > :39:20.Haymarket, and I passed on a bus when they were filming, I kept
:39:21. > :39:25.looking over, but I didn't want to get out and be looking over
:39:26. > :39:29.anybody's shoulder. Some of your music is political, there are like
:39:30. > :39:32.stories, it is about your life's experience, I suppose, so what was
:39:33. > :39:37.your reaction when you saw the film? They have taken the songs and a
:39:38. > :39:40.different direction. They did, it was not as extreme as seen the stage
:39:41. > :39:44.musical for the first time, which was one of the most surreal moment
:39:45. > :39:54.of my life, having an actress singing our words was really
:39:55. > :39:57.strange. Because you put so much into it. They change lines, he too
:39:58. > :40:00.chic or what ever, a couple of words, and they did the same for the
:40:01. > :40:04.film. I have seen the film five times, and it is still a bit
:40:05. > :40:10.strange. The arrangements in the film, the performances are great. It
:40:11. > :40:14.has had a fantastic reactions from people who have seen it, but you
:40:15. > :40:19.must be delighted that your favourite football club has taken on
:40:20. > :40:25.Sunshine On Leith as their anthem. How does that compare to the film? I
:40:26. > :40:33.think it is better! It is better. They do not win many, they sang it
:40:34. > :40:37.at the Scottish Cup Final against Celtic this year beautifully before
:40:38. > :40:39.the game, I did not care about the result.
:40:40. > :41:00.We have got it! Of all the songs, which you find the
:41:01. > :41:04.most emotional? I think Sunshine On Leith, it is the most complete song
:41:05. > :41:08.we have written. For people who come to multiple shows, that is the
:41:09. > :41:14.central part. Do you write together? We used to, on the first album, and
:41:15. > :41:18.there are quite a few songs in the film that are from the first album,
:41:19. > :41:23.but the last few years we have lived in different places. We see enough
:41:24. > :41:28.of each other, and when we see each other every day to rehearse... And
:41:29. > :41:32.you still live very close. Just a couple of miles apart, and we are on
:41:33. > :41:39.the road with the rest of the guys all the time. It is an interesting
:41:40. > :41:44.point, because Stephen is doing this series about trying to find love,
:41:45. > :41:51.you are tall lad is, glasses... Have you got any tips for the allowed to
:41:52. > :42:01.settle down? To be a rock star would help! What do you think, tips? I
:42:02. > :42:06.would not give tips to anybody, I have got no idea. I am just looking
:42:07. > :42:10.forward to being on the road with you guys again. We did kind of
:42:11. > :42:12.mark-up and album of what you would look like if you were altogether,
:42:13. > :42:29.feast your eyes on this. Hello, ladies! They have got the
:42:30. > :42:33.best pictures of all of us there. Well, Sunshine On Leith is out in
:42:34. > :42:40.cinemas now, well worth a watch. Goodness me! Fans can be quite
:42:41. > :42:44.persistent and trying to get the attention of their favourite stars,
:42:45. > :42:50.and speaking of that, you have got a letter there. I had a lovely letter,
:42:51. > :42:55.dear Alex, I do so enjoy your programme, bless you and the One
:42:56. > :43:00.Show. It is from Jean, who was 98. But she does go on to say, PS, I am
:43:01. > :43:04.doing it now, no lady crosses her legs, not even the Queen. I will
:43:05. > :43:13.write back to you, I will work on the whole crossing the legs thing.
:43:14. > :43:19.Do not cross your legs, Stephen! One little boy sent a fan letter that
:43:20. > :43:23.led to a lifelong friendship. Now I'm going to send you a little
:43:24. > :43:58.song that was very popular a few months ago.
:43:59. > :44:11.She pressed... She will always be best known for her legendary song
:44:12. > :44:14.Sally. # Sally, Sally...
:44:15. > :44:18.But while she was busy performing around the world, in a Kent
:44:19. > :44:21.orphanage young boy was listening to his favourite Gracie Fields record.
:44:22. > :44:26.The artist would have a profound effect on his life. Now 94, Michael
:44:27. > :44:37.lives on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent. We used to get every record
:44:38. > :44:44.that she made. I think the first one was Follow Band. At the end, there
:44:45. > :44:50.was a children 's chorus, sort of, and they all called auntie Gracie.
:44:51. > :44:58.And I said one day, well I wish I could call her Auntie Gracie. I
:44:59. > :45:04.don't know anyone, and this chap said, well, let's writes to her. And
:45:05. > :45:09.that is just what he did. Gracie Fields wrote back, but the orphanage
:45:10. > :45:14.intercepted the letter and kept it from Michael, insisting he write a
:45:15. > :45:18.second node. Then I had to write a grovelling letter apologising for
:45:19. > :45:25.bothering, and the sister in charge said that I had been a nuisance and
:45:26. > :45:29.I was sorry. But, amazingly, a few weeks later, Gracie, true to her
:45:30. > :45:34.down-to-earth roots, arrived at the orphanage unannounced, asking if she
:45:35. > :45:40.could meet Michael. That caused a sensation. I mean, we had not met
:45:41. > :45:45.anyone like that. She was Auntie Grace, she said. And she finished up
:45:46. > :45:55.sitting on the floor surrounded by the boys singing songs.
:45:56. > :46:07.She was a very caring person, very dated. -- family orientated. It was
:46:08. > :46:13.the beginning of an extraordinary relationship. Gracie went on to
:46:14. > :46:17.marry an Italian, Boris, and moved to the island of Capri, where she
:46:18. > :46:21.had been true to her word and looked out for Michael, becoming a real
:46:22. > :46:25.auntie to him. They kept in touch through letters and postcards and
:46:26. > :46:30.met up on ever they could. He even visited her in Capri. Come up to
:46:31. > :46:35.Capri, she said. I will show you Capri. Gracie Fields made a huge
:46:36. > :46:44.contribution during the Second World War, by raising money and the morale
:46:45. > :46:50.of the troops. When she died in 1979 aged 81, the nation had lost an
:46:51. > :46:58.icon, and Lancashire had lost its much loved lass. At for Michael, he
:46:59. > :47:05.had lost his auntie Gracie. I have met some nice people in my life, but
:47:06. > :47:19.nothing like Gracie. I was lucky to know someone like that.
:47:20. > :47:24.Carrie is here, who has been serenading us with that wonderful
:47:25. > :47:29.Bracey warble throughout the VAT. But she made an enemy of Winston
:47:30. > :47:32.Churchill? Tyre she did, and it was an interesting period of her career
:47:33. > :47:37.because she had been a massive musical star will stop she then made
:47:38. > :47:42.films in the 30s and was awarded a CBE. She then got ill at the end of
:47:43. > :47:45.30s with cancer. Her mum was going blind and wanted her to get
:47:46. > :47:49.married, and she married an Italian. So it was doing well, but of
:47:50. > :47:54.course, Italy sides with Germany in the war. So if they were to live as
:47:55. > :47:58.a married couple in Italy, he would have to fight. If they lived in
:47:59. > :48:02.Britain, he would be imprisoned, so they fled to Canada, at which point
:48:03. > :48:06.Churchill said, go and make money out of the Americans. But actually,
:48:07. > :48:10.she was entertaining the troops, so she was still doing her work, news
:48:11. > :48:15.of it did not get back to Britain for some time. She returns to
:48:16. > :48:18.Britain in the late 40s and in 1948, she performs at the
:48:19. > :48:23.Palladium. She does not tell anyone what she's going to sing, and she
:48:24. > :48:30.sings, take me to your heart again. And the press and the public love
:48:31. > :48:41.her again. That is the sound of my childhood, the sound of mine now. --
:48:42. > :48:50.my Nan. Said, you run the official Gracie Fields Fanclub, the
:48:51. > :48:55.appreciation Society. How is it that a 21-year-old boy has found himself
:48:56. > :48:59.in this position? My interest in Gracie came when I was at high
:49:00. > :49:02.school, doing a project on the Second World War. My friends were
:49:03. > :49:06.looking into Vera Lynn, and I found a CD with a lady called Gracie
:49:07. > :49:10.Fields on there. And I thought, that is an interesting voice. And I found
:49:11. > :49:15.out she was from Rochdale, 12 miles from where I live. Then I became
:49:16. > :49:19.friends with one of her good friends, called John Taylor, who has
:49:20. > :49:23.a massive collection of Gracie Fields things, and I grew my own
:49:24. > :49:29.collection from there. Then we set up the first official website, and I
:49:30. > :49:38.am in the process of writing Gracie's authorised biography. On
:49:39. > :49:45.the flip side of the appreciation, your dad was not a fan? No. There
:49:46. > :49:49.was was a thing, whether it was true or not, it was perceived that she
:49:50. > :49:53.had abandoned Britain at the start of the war. I think if you look at
:49:54. > :49:58.the facts, that is not the case, but many people who lived through the
:49:59. > :50:05.war, there was a slight resentment or distrust of Gracie Fields. As
:50:06. > :50:11.great an entertainer as she was. This is the visa for her to go into
:50:12. > :50:17.Canada. This was her immigration visa when she left the country. It
:50:18. > :50:20.has her married name, professionally Italian, and it says she's moving to
:50:21. > :50:26.America for the purpose of living. So if somebody had this document,
:50:27. > :50:31.they could say yes, Gracie could have an desert in her country. At
:50:32. > :50:34.bearing in mind the tours she did in Canada and America and eventually
:50:35. > :50:39.the Pacific and south-east, she was making a lot of money for Britain.
:50:40. > :50:44.And even though your dad was not keen, lots of people in Scotland
:50:45. > :50:51.loved her. We have this pic of her in the Glasgow shipyard. Do you
:50:52. > :51:00.think they look a bit miserable? She is singing her heart out! There was
:51:01. > :51:06.a rival shipyard on the same bad bank river, and they heard Gracie
:51:07. > :51:14.and said, we want her as well. So she went down the road and performed
:51:15. > :51:19.for them. Thank you very much, Carrie and Seb. Talking of epic
:51:20. > :51:24.tours, earlier on, we met the nine riders taking part in this year's
:51:25. > :51:29.epic 700 mile rickshaw challenge. Now we are asking you to donate to
:51:30. > :51:48.Children In Need this year again. Hello, potential rickshaw drivers!
:51:49. > :51:57.How are you? Are you well? Were you cycling? No, I was not cycling, but
:51:58. > :52:14.we are all in training now. It is never too early to start donating.
:52:15. > :52:25.Now, time to rejoin the mums at work.
:52:26. > :52:29.At Total Jobs, mum Jackie has been passed by boss John to help her
:52:30. > :52:38.daughter Tori get more focused on her work at the recruitment agency
:52:39. > :52:42.full is top she can be disorganised. Prioritise and organise. Jackie is
:52:43. > :52:48.hoping to use a bit of good old nonsense to improve her daughter's
:52:49. > :52:54.work skills. I think bringing up a family makes you a good employee,
:52:55. > :52:57.juggling home life with work life and keeping on top of your house
:52:58. > :53:05.work. It is hard being a working mum. And it is about to get harder.
:53:06. > :53:11.Tory has a client meeting, and as her manager explains, she needs some
:53:12. > :53:18.help. This is one of the first meetings she will have gone to on
:53:19. > :53:24.her own. The most important thing she needs to do is ask plenty of
:53:25. > :53:30.questions and ask the right questions. I will take note of these
:53:31. > :53:37.questions and make sure she knows all the answers full up Jackie is
:53:38. > :53:41.now helping Tori, but it has not always been that way round. Tori
:53:42. > :53:46.helped when Jackie was training to be a cabbie. When I did the taxi
:53:47. > :53:50.licensing test, called the knowledge, it took me about five
:53:51. > :53:56.times. I said to Victoria, I am going to give up. And she said, mum,
:53:57. > :54:01.you have always said, keep trying until you succeed. And it was
:54:02. > :54:05.because of her that I carried on. Now it is down to Jackie to see if
:54:06. > :54:13.Tori can find her way through the problems at work, with a bit of
:54:14. > :54:20.role-play. Lovely to meet you. It is not a joke, this is a serious as
:54:21. > :54:28.this! What do you know about us as a business? I feel really nervous
:54:29. > :54:35.doing this! I am aware that you build databases for companies. It is
:54:36. > :54:43.fantastic employer branding. Nobody is doing it. It is new to the market
:54:44. > :54:47.full is top now back to reality. Did you feel worse because it was me?
:54:48. > :54:55.You should feel comfortable, I am your mother. It was a bit odd. You
:54:56. > :55:04.need to feel comfortable. And love yourself. I think you are wonderful.
:55:05. > :55:09.If the client feels the same way, that will show boss John's new mum
:55:10. > :55:14.management scheme is working. She has been promoted to a more client
:55:15. > :55:17.facing world, so getting organised, knowing what she wants out of
:55:18. > :55:22.meetings, just having the maturity that comes with that different role,
:55:23. > :55:28.her mum will be able to help her to stop time for Tori's first solo
:55:29. > :55:38.client pitch. Having mum outside doesn't exactly help. I am a bit
:55:39. > :55:42.nervous. When I went into the meeting, I had her in my head,
:55:43. > :55:53.telling me, be confident, project your voice. When she was little, she
:55:54. > :55:57.was quite a handful. She was not particularly motivated at school.
:55:58. > :56:03.When she was 15, I had doubts about what her future would hold, but now
:56:04. > :56:08.I am proud of the adult she is now. How did it go? Really well. I am
:56:09. > :56:17.going to set out a proposal tomorrow, with different options for
:56:18. > :56:20.her. Fingers crossed. I have seen a professional side of Victoria that I
:56:21. > :56:25.would never have seen at home, and I am proud of her. She has taught me
:56:26. > :56:36.that perhaps I need to be more prepared at work. Love you, ma'am.
:56:37. > :56:41.-- mum. Next week, the final chapter of the great experiment. Does having
:56:42. > :56:47.mum is at work really work? You have in telling her how to do things for
:56:48. > :56:54.years. Will she take it on board? Told her, she will do it. And the
:56:55. > :56:58.mums say goodbye to Total Jobs. That is almost it for tonight. Thanks to
:56:59. > :57:02.do even. Now The Proclaimers are going to play us out with Sunshine
:57:03. > :57:08.On Leith. Ill ah see you tomorrow. Take it away, boys.
