16/11/2017 The One Show

Hello and welcome to

The One Show with Alex Jones.

And Amol Rajan.

And if they make it to Edinburgh in

time, Team Rickshaw. Another tough

day, Matt Becker is in great

spirits.

It is the end of the

penultimate day of the challenge!

When we set off, from London

together, Edinburgh felt like a very

long way away but you know what? We

will be there tonight and we will be

on time! Head down, go!

We hope we

can see them live at Edinburgh

Castle in about 15 minutes! Our

guest is a big star with the Big

Show, it is Michael McIntyre!

APPLAUSE.

Looking very good.

You spent a huge amount of time at

the Edinburgh Fringe?

I had great

times, my first solo show, one

person! And it was by one, get one

free! And that one person could not

get another person to come! Did they

find it funny? Not so much! It

wasn't a great night but things have

really picked up, an amazing city

and an amazing thing that Matt Baker

is doing!

We will talk all about

your Big Show which starts on

Saturday. We will hear all the

gossip about the new format, which

is pretty funny!

Wearable health gadgets

are sure to be a huge seller

again this Christmas,

giving us all new ways

to feel guilty about doing

too little exercise.

Even livestock are now

getting in on the act.

Here's Kevin with the lamest

film we've ever made.

Wearable technology. An increasingly

familiar sight. There is a device

aimed at a completely different

market. This lot. This is not for

the High Street, it is for farmers

across the country worried about the

health of their... Sheep! Scientists

say they have created the next big

thing. A product to spot the early

signs of lameness in sheep. Which

could help farmers like Richard

Harris. He has 117 on his family

farm in Northamptonshire.

What is

lameness? It is usually caused by

foot rot, bacterial infection in the

hooves. It is not particularly easy

to control but it can affect your

flock badly. Why is it difficult to

spot? They tend to hide it, they

don't sell any signs of lameness, it

is quite frustrating.

It is costing

the industry approximately £80

million every year so Richard has

agreed to test out the product being

developed by the University of

Northampton. Animal welfare's is

running this.

Why do they have

mobile phones? These are early

prototype sensors, they are

collecting data about how the sheep

can move and will collect data from

different positions and movement and

we can determine lameness.

The idea

will not be for sheep to have mobile

phones around their necks?

The next

system is for farmers to identify

lameness at the early stages. The

idea is it will give an alert to the

phone or a database system within

the farm to tell shepherds to get to

their shape much sooner than they

can without technology.

I have

visions of Shepherd sitting with a

cup of tea watching his mobile

phone! It would be perfect. The team

have spent two years collecting data

on the movements of healthy and lame

sheep. The device creates a graph

with Orange showing how the sheep

should be walking and blue

representing one that is lame.

Vander shows me how this works on a

sheep known to be lame. We have a

small camera on the lame sheep and

the evidence is incredible, you can

really see it?

You can see the

movement. The sensor is picking up

nine different positions and axes of

movement and the lame sheep is

bubbling up and down. This is a

great perspective, we have never

seen this visual representation

before. It is obvious by the sensor

is picking up differences.

By

catching lameness early, farmers can

treat the infection with an easy

antiseptic spray. Rather than having

to use antibiotics or, in worst

cases, culling them. It is still

early days but they are hopeful that

it can be utilised by farmers from

2019. Back at the farm, one of the

designers, Doctor Scott Turner, has

brought along what he hopes will

replace those mobile phones.

We are

looking at something this time of

size that will either be on the

colour or even smaller to go on to

the years. What will this cost?

Certainly under £10, we are hoping

for a round about £5 or less.

Is

that something course it is

conscious of?

Cost is essential. We

are looking to get to where the cost

per unit is low enough below what it

is costing in terms of lameness but

it makes it worthwhile for the

farmers to invest.

Time to test it

some of Richard's flock. The

technology has picked up that one of

these sheep that Richard Douglas

healthy is showing early signs of

lameness.

Is Richard impressed? I

think this technology will become

more to the floor and if they can

make it more practical I'm sure

farmers will take to bed and

anything that can be brought forward

to help keep on top of it is going

to be beneficial to us.

It looks

bizarre! I would not want to wander

around with a mobile phone strapped

to the back of my neck.

Talking

about lameness... That is weird!

You

were looking rather lame yourself

earlier this year? Yes, I broke my

foot.

You look like a 12-year-old

child!

Or somebody skiing without

enough equipment! I broke my foot

playing football with my children

not very well. Wasn't their fault? I

ran to the ball, I will get it and I

jumped over the log and I twisted it

and it broke and there wasn't a

great doctor on holiday. People know

about rest, ice, compression and

elevation. I had never heard of that

and he said, do not forget, rice.

Keep going with the rice. I spent

the first 24 hours sprinkling rice

on my feet! It was only after I

googled it...!

It obviously worked.

Full motion. Big Show on Saturday.

Hilarious brand-new feature. Called

midnight game show. Explain...

It is

very tiring but it ends up very

funny. Is this it? I have been given

the keys to somebody's home and he

knows nothing about it, set up by

his wife, and we creeping in the

dead of night, and we have a game

show. You will see... Here I am. He

is fast asleep! And we have stopped

it there. Yes, he wakes up... You

have an actual game show? Celebrity

guests, loads of people piling into

the house! Anybody who looked out

the window... We have an orangutan,

there is a telly tubby, the world's

tallest man. Has anybody punched you

or called the police? It has been

extraordinary, one gentleman had

already broken up, it is the

funniest thing I have ever seen!

One

of the two people in bed did know it

was going to happen.

The wife or

girlfriend or husband sets up the

partner so it is on them but one man

had broken the lock on or taking out

the rubbish and his final thought

before going to bed was I hope

nobody breaks in and he woke up with

us and we could not get the light

on! There was this camera crew,

terrifying! But they all loved it

and it also loved, we had a Spurs

fan and Aussie or delays at three

o'clock in the morning in his Spurs

kit.

Please never come to my house

at three o'clock in the morning

because I might try to kill you!

Is

that a threat?

Live, on-air! The

other side is, when I have a burglar

I will think it is Michael McIntyre!

That is true, we hope as the series

goes on, when people hear a noise at

night, they think it could be asked!

But check anyway because it may not

be!

It is really fun! That is the

new feature. The unexpected star of

the show is still very much present.

It has gone up this series, so many

people have been nominating, we have

so many people and we are very

ambitious with the way be surprise

people who think they are coming to

the theatre for another reason.

You

go to extraordinary lengths! What

was the most extreme?

The biggest

one was when we turned the theatre

into a hotel. We had a girl from

Ireland who thought she was on a

romantic break and we got everybody

to stay in the auditorium and be

rebranded the theatre, we build a

reception and a corridor to the

stage and other rooms and she got to

her room in the middle of the stage,

the bellboy to occur around and he

said I know it is all about the view

and he opened the curtains!

And she

collapsed! That almost sounds quite

stressful for the contestants! How

do you make sure they are still

having fun? It is a dream to

perform, they are completely

overwhelmed but that is the point of

the stand.

In the Christmas show, we

had a band who went down a slide, he

thought he was taking part in a

Guinness Book of Records attempt...

He did not know that actually he

slid through a fireplace dressed as

Santa Claus! And he ended up like

this!

Everybody on their feet! You

had a very good surprise for Ed

Balls and his phone?

Yes, we have

amazing people playing Celebrity

Send To All. There he is, the

funniest one we have had!

You sent a

message from his phone and what is a

response?

Ultimately, it was

inviting people around for a hot tub

party at his house! With DJ Stormzy!

And Delia Smith and Anton Du Beke!

Everybody believed that and all

sorts of people, Peter Mandelson and

his vicar was on his way! His

figures said I will finish my sermon

and grab Mike Towell! I find it

subsequently he got in trouble

because people were on their way to

his house!

Peter Mandelson was on

his way to Ed Balls, his house?

That

was the text! Danny Dyer playing

centre all, which is as funny as you

can imagine and Miranda... Very

exciting.

Michael McIntyre's Big

Show returns this Saturday at 8:10pm

on BBC One. We can find out about

Team Rickshaw, last night they found

out that they have raised £1.5

million and a sincere thank you to

all of you who have donated. That

did lift their spirits albeit with

other early morning start. We're all

in good spirits because it is am,

normally there is a three in the

alarm clock! Feeling good? We are

going to Edinburgh! The penultimate

day of the challenge and as we waved

goodbye... Gregg, who has got us up

some of the toughest hills, are

starting to feel the effects of the

week.

How are you filling? It is

just my leg. It is still begging.

You know what? You have raised over

£1.5 million. Wow! The good news is,

the rain has gone! Welcome to radio

rickshaw, weather is nothing but

blue sky! -- Werther is. # I can see

all obstacles in my way...

Sabah's life so far has been a fight

for survival, as a baby she was

diagnosed with cancer of the kidneys

and lungs. Thankfully, she beat the

cancer but had to have a kidney

transplant. Four years ago, it also

failed. What do you remember about

losing your kidney?

Everything. I

remember the doctor coming to me,

Sabah, your kidney is at 50%. It

will not last forever. I want to

introduce you to dialysis. That is

where I became... This pessimistic

child who did not want to talk to

anyone or do anything. I just

stopped contacting friends because I

knew I could not see them. Because

there was not allowed to leave the

hospital. You think you are burden.

I have to tell myself, you have lost

your kidney, you can look for as

long as you want or you can make

your life into something positive. I

am planning to just do everything I

can whilst I can. How is your body

feeling? Stronger than ever. I am at

the best I have never been my life.

And the rickshaw has paid me feel

invincible.

It goes to show your life is like a

roller-coaster. Forget a box of

chocolates. Thank you!

Support the

team and I have received along the

way can't help but inspire and move

us.

CHEERING

Well, what a team of writers that

I've had the pleasure of being

alongside for a week or so now --

riders. Each and every one of them

have given this their absolute all.

You know, Sabah is so much fun. I've

also really enjoyed the company of

Luke, because he'd never cycled on a

road and suddenly he comes out, the

wind in his face, and he's relished

every single bit of that. And then,

for him, time is so precious.

Precious time with his sister, Amy.

You know, take Shona for example,

who has this degenerative condition

and she's making the most of life

while she can. I actually think that

this challenge has come at the

perfect time for Liv, when her loved

one, like Liv's dad gets snatched

away, to deal with all of that when

you are a child is very tough. And

there's one character in the team,

Greg, who was abandoned as a child

and yet somehow he's found the inner

strength to keep going.

So what team, sorry, I have to take

a little breath there. Let me have

one more cheerful Team Rickshaw,

while I get my breath back a second.

CHEERING

I think they are incredible, I

really do. It's hard to believe, as

we stand here, we've been on the

road for a week now. It's been a

whole week. And 444 normal miles and

one Royal Mile later, we've arrived

at Edinburgh Castle!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Where are you? Here you are. And do

you know, this place, this place for

me, I was saying to Luke on the way

here a few miles ago, how strange it

is for me because this very spot is

where all of this craziness started.

This was where the first Rickshaw

Challenge started for me, seven

years ago. It's been incredible

since then, you know, tonight, this

is the penultimate finish line for

Team Rickshaw and it was my starting

line. Ever so soon, Shona will be

riding the rickshaw at the cobbles

in front of this wonderful crowd

here but before she does, here's how

you all at home can do your bit. If

you'd like to show your support for

Team Rickshaw and pledge donation,

you can do. You can text, and Liv

will tell us.

You can also donate any amount

online. Shortly, Shona will be

arriving with the rickshaw. I've got

Shona's family with me, Mum, Helen,

dad, Callan, and her sisters will

stop I have to start with the

thought because we haven't hardly

travelled through one part of the UK

without finding one of your

relatives! You've got so many

relatives in the UK. What have they

been making about what your sister

has been up to, Charlie?

They are

all really excited. We have

relatives all over the country and

they've all done their best to try

and come along the route and cheer

the team on.

OK, OK, and you have a

very welcome you have the same

condition as your sister. Shona is

doing everything she can to raise

awareness for it. How important is

it for everybody out there that has

got this?

That's right, my sister is

doing like lots for it. The

awareness used to be here, but now,

it's gone up to here. So she's

raising more and more awareness with

all the miles she's covering.

Very

well said, very well said, let me

come into the middle because I want

a word with mum. I'm going to hold

my hands up and say I might have

underestimated your daughter at the

start of this. We had a little chat,

didn't we?

We did.

I have taken my

hands off the handlebars and she's

just flowing. It's incredible to

cycle beside her and a very special

moment for me was when we saw you in

Windermere. There was thousands of

people lining the streets, calling

out her name. You were there and she

was riding that bike, so low. What

was that like, mum?

It was

fantastic, to see her riding and all

the people around cheering for her.

She's grown in confidence. It's

fantastic to see.

What do you think

this week has done for her?

Phenomenal in terms of memories and

the friends she is made. The team

are really tight-knit, they really

look out for each other. She will

take that with her.

Would you like

to see her now? Shall we bring her

in,

in, Edinburgh?

CHEERING

We obviously couldn't come to a

place like this without hearing a

few drums or a few pipers, and we

have musicians from the army School

of bagpipe music and the Highland

drummer here, so I'm going to go to

the major and drop my arm and

hopefully, all things magical will

happen. Here we go.

Quick march.

BAND PLAYS.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

In you go! Welcome to Edinburgh

Castle!

I'm exhausted.

Its speech

time, you said to me, I not going to

be on the telly tonight? Well, you

are, Buddy, because its speech time

now. This is the cool thing because

for Luke's speech we sent a magic

carpet so that the Wirral wonder

could get onto the West End stage.

I've watched Aladdin, I've got a lot

of time and effort into this, so

it's something I'm going to live

every moment of. My heart is really

pounding for him, really nervous.

I'd like to introduce you an

extraordinary young man, please give

a warm welcome to Luke.

APPLAUSE

Hi, I'm Luke, I live on the Wirral

with my mum, dad and twin brother,

Jake. I have cerebral palsy and for

me it means that I need to be in a

wheelchair or on crutches, as

walking is hard. I also find it

difficult to use my hands for some

tasks. I like to be as independent

as possible, so it's tough, but I

have to ask for help to get by. When

I was 11 I had major surgery that

would in the long-term help my body.

After the operation I spent weeks

lying flat in bed, recovering. I'd

never felt so trapped or so unhappy.

Eventually my body healed and I had

to relearn how to walk. Throughout

all of this there was one place

which has always helped me. It's

called Stick and Step, they help

children with cerebral palsy and are

supported by children in need. Since

the age of two they've been there

for me, providing physio, teaching

skills and being an emotional

support for me and my family. This

year I'm taking part in the Rickshaw

Challenge. I'd like to do this to

show everyone that people with

cerebral palsy can do incredible

things and inspire other disabled

children. I also want to raise as

much money as I possibly can for

such an amazing cause. So please dig

deep and give whatever you can.

APPLAUSE

# I'm like a shooting star

# I've come so far #.

That was fantastic, that. What a

speech.

Yeah, just to see the

support I got at the end, absolutely

amazing. The theatre was amazing and

the whole support. Around the whole

day, even the show was amazing. That

was probably one of the best days of

my life.

Was it really? And, that

really choked you, didn't it? It's

hard to see your team-mates talking

like this.

Yeah because over the

past week I've got really close with

Luke and to see the pictures of

where he was back then to where he

is now its just amazing.

Liv, we've

done a lot of talking about a lot of

things along the route, one of which

is singers.

Oh, yes.

Oh, yes, one of

your favourites, Robert Plant was in

the studio when we set off.

He was,

what a great guy.

Well, do you know

what, he's been watching as well.

He's got a little message for you.

Hi, Liv, it's Robert Plant here.

I've been following your progress in

the Rickshaw Challenge and you're

doing incredibly well. My best

wishes to you all. I cannot believe,

I'm going to have to go into

training for next year.

LAUGHTER

That was just before he went on

stage!

That's amazing!

I know.

What

a guy, I don't even know what to

say. I Bob Neill have to play in

competition with these lads'

football messages, that's the idea.

I can't believe I'm saying this but

tomorrow is our last day, tomorrow,

one day left! So let's have a little

luck. Here is the route, we will be

leaving at 7am, eating the Kelpies

for 12, a bit of hype there, nothing

to worry about! We will hopefully

cross the finish line lives on the

Children in Need programme, as long

as we get there before midnight

we'll have nailed this thing! It's

going to happen. I just want to say

a massive thank you. I know we've

been throwing out there and asking

for texts to donate all week but

you've been donating in your drives

and I've met lots of people who have

said that they use the Rickshaw

Challenge every year to donate and

to show their support, so thank you,

thank you, thank you, to everyone

who's has done that over the years

because like I said early on, it all

started in this very spot seven

years ago and since then it's

extraordinary to say that we are

this close to the £20 million mark.

So to everyone who has given over

the years, thank you and just hold

that thought, £20 million is this

far away. Thank you, hopefully

tomorrow, what word BAND PLAYS

Children in Need night, we will

cross the finish line.

I can't

believe they've only got one day

left! Gosh, it's hard, isn't it,

watching.

I find it hard to watch.

Luke, doing his speech. Every time

you come on, Michael, I'm like this.

Going to bits.

It's amazing what

they do.

It's incredible. You are

such an inspiration, incredible

stuff. Good luck tomorrow, guys,

thank you to everyone who has

supported Team Rickshaw. You've been

sending in your photos of them

passing by and they are amazing.

Here's Angela, in Jodrell Bank, Mrs

Audrey, in Tring, thank you.

Thank you, so much, for all the

photos on the amazing support.

Thanks for going out to support

them. Matt said it and it does mean

the world to them. We'll see Team

Rickshaw tomorrow, crossing the

finish line, but Michael, you are

about to embark on a big journey.

You want to talk about my tour, it

doesn't feel right, it's about Team

Rickshaw! Take it down! Take-off

that the picture.

You have a touring

the New Year and I'm sure you'll be

back again.

I feel really bad about

it.

We'll make you go on a rickshaw!

OK, fine!

Michael, thank you so

much.

His Big Show returns this

Saturday on BBC One.

Good luck to Team Rickshaw

on their final day tomorrow,

I'll be cheering them along

from here with Greg James, along

with the EastEnders stars dancing

for Children in Need.

They always do a big extravaganza,

don't they? See you tomorrow night

at 7pm. Have a great
