16/12/2015 The One Show

Hello and welcome to your Wednesday One Show with Alex Jones And Matt

Baker. Tonight we've got more Christmas surprises than a crate

full of Christmas crackers. Let us give you an idea of what is in

store. Carrie Grant is getting ready to surprise someone live in their

own home with the help of the UK's favourite Australian Pop Princess.

No idea who that could be. Our audience is full of wonderful

people. Now, these are real-life elves who make Christmas happen.

Very important people. Lovely. Christine has been to collect a

surprisingly large Christmas tree. Huge. It needs the help of a

helicopter to take it out of the forest. As we have been very good,

all year, we have been allowed to open our Christmas presents early,

haven't we? Yes, you will go first. What is at the top of your Christmas

list? I asked for something cheeky, something to make me laugh. Oh! It's

Lee Mack. YEAH! Happy with that? Really happy. What about you? Well,

I mean the thing is, you have got your Golds, you have your

Frankinsenses, then you have your Murs! Olly Murs. Brilliant. Get in.

Come on over, lads. Always good to see you, Lee. Nice to see you Olly.

Come on over. Have a seat. Hi, Olly. We have been in there 10 minutes

before the show started. Someone didn't get the memo about Klaus

phobia. Lee, what is top of your Christmas list? Hoping for the new

album by Olly Murs. If not the Lee Mack Live Collection. When I was a

kid, I used to get a stocking filler of a bottle of Luxosade. What was

Father Christmas doing giving you an energy drink It broke and ruined all

my presents. Straight to the punch line. Holy, what was the best

present you ever got, from Santa or a relative? From my sister. I bought

everyone a great presents. I thought I was the King. I was Santa that

Christmas. She got a scan of her baby. That was amazing. It was a

picture of moo I baby. A nephew. That was really cute. Not as nice as

a tin of Quality Street, is it? You are with us for the hour. Olly will

perform for us singing Stevie Knows at the end of the show. Yes. Thank

you very much. We get a lot of requests to help people out here on

the One Show. We can't do all of them. When one particular superstar

did get in touch to say that she wanted to give somebody a special

Christmas present, well, how could we refuse Carrie is with herle right

now. -- her right now. Spill the beans, what are you up to? We are

big on clues tonight's. We are somewhere in the UK. We are about to

surprise or perhaps shock a very deserving lady who we hope will have

a great Christmas as a result of this tonight. The person who came up

with the idea and who is the Mission Controller and superstar is Miss

Kylie Minogue. Hi. How are you feeling about our mission? I was

excited. I wanted to surprise someone really deserving. We have a

perfect lady who suspects nothing. Yes, we have. We will reveal more

later. Back to the studio. What a concept. Kylie Minogue caroling on

the One Show. Can you imagine. One little boy must have thought all of

his Christmases had come at once when his mum and dad bought him what

they thought was a very special dog called Daisy. Daisy was much-loved,

but she wasn't quite what his mum and dad had in mind. Nick Wallis has

the story. I'm going to make you dazy. A rare condition means he is

fed by a tube straight into his stomach. His parents, Sam and Ricky,

wanted a specially trained assistance dog who could alert them

when his sugar levels were low. Their searches online brought them

to Service Dogs Europe. The reviews looked perfect. ?6,500 would buy

them a puppy called Daisy, the firm would train her. The family and

friends started fundraising. They did skydives, ran marathons and ate

bugs to raise the thousands of pounds needed to buy Daisy. I saw

this tiny little puppy brought to us. She was eight weeks old. She

just automatically went straight to Blakely. The Bond was almost

instant. From day one it was clear something was wrong. She was quite

dirty. We had to take her straight to the vets the day we got her. She

had an ear infection. Service Dogs Europe took her away for eight weeks

of training. She came back with some bad habits. Toileting all over my

house, in Blakely's toys we telephoned them who gave me advice

about further training techniques I had to do myself. I was like - I

paid you a lot of money. Should be coming. The company agreed to take

Daisy for further training. Then nothing. I phoned them. The line had

gone dead. I went on the website. The website had gone. She found out

the dog had been sold on to another family for just ?180. Service Dogs

Europe have taken ?6,500 off you, they have sold your dog to someone

else? Yeah, they did. The family aren't the only ones to have been

left and dry by Service Dogs Europe. 300 miles away from Preston Ben has

autism and diabetes. He too wanted an assistance dog to alert him to

falling blood sugar levels. I went low and apparently blacked out. I

woke up in the hospital. Ben and his mum Tracy paid Service Dogs Europe

?4,000. But the dog wasn't specially trained or healthy. Bless him, we

love him. We would never have choosen him. We are coming up to the

?2,000 in vets fees. In fact our lives are harder financially,

emotionally, physically looking after a sick dog. Twice a week Tracy

and Ben bring him for hydrotherapy sessions. How is it going coping

with a dog with health problems that was meant to help you? That is the

irony of it. That is one of the things we do. He has acupuncture, he

is on supplements and anti-inflammatory meds. The company

is based in London. It's run by this man, Henry Fitzsimons, who we have

been told regularly transported dogs into the UK illegally without the

required paperwork. I'm meeting a man who worked for Mr Fitzsimons for

eight months and transported the dogs. How did they get to mainland

Britain? I came from southern Ireland to Northern Ireland. I told

Henry they need to have pet passports and rabies vaccinations.

What his response? You do your job or somebody else will do it. He says

the dogs were mostly bought from puppy farms. They were full of

ticks, fleas, they were dirty and smelt like pee. You were being sent

to collect them to be trained up for Service Dogs Europe? I did it. I

don't have job or income, but I can't do this any more. We made

numerous attempts to contact Mr Fitzsimons we have had no reply.

When we tried to catch up with him in person, he was off like a

Greyhound. Henry Fitzsimons. I'm from the BBC. We have some questions

to ask you about Service Dogs Europe. You have taken thousands of

pounds from people who trusted you, Coe you come out and answer some

questions? Mr Fitzsimons door stayed firmly closed. Back in Ramsgate,

Blakely is still missing Daisy. I love you, Daisy. Miss you lots. Is I

just can't quite believe this, can you? It's a remarkable situation.

Nick joins us now with Dr Claire Guest who trains Specialiist

Assistance Dogs. Archie who is a medical assistance dog in training.

Nick, let us start with Henry. There have been developments today,

haven't there? We tried to contact Mr Fitzsimons, he didn't respond

much we travelled to Ireland to see if we could meet him face-to-face.

When we did meet him face-to-face he ran for it. Yet this afternoon we

have had an email from him. He is at pains to point out that although he

doesn't want to appear on camera he has responses to the issues raised

in the film. First of all, he tells us that he does have happy

customers. He said that Daisy selling her was a mistake, based on

a misunderstanding much he thought the family were returning her

permanently. The black lab having hydrotherapy he says he was sorry

she developed hip problems but they weren't detectible as a puppy. He

said that the man in the car was due to him sourcing the dogs. He said he

did not know they were coming from Progressive Unionist Partiy farms.

He didn't make any comment at all about whether or not the families

would be getting their money back. He just says that he's lost all his

money, his savings and his businesses have closed down as a

result - puppy farms. The situation has caused grief for the families in

the film what is being done to help them? The reported it to the UK

action fraud helpline. We have been to the Irish equivalent of Trading

Standards. They are considering the information provided and are not in

a position to provide any further comment at this time. The Irish

Society for the Prevention of Cruelty of Animals checked out

Service Dogs Europe after they received complaints they found no

welfare issues on site. They will not veg further because they have

ceased trading. Families may buy an assistant dog is to get around

waiting lists with charities. How long is the waiting list? There is a

waiting list. It's about 18 months. It can go up to three years. The

important thing is that the whole process of getting an accredited

assistance dog needs to be a slow one. The whole number of situations

that the family, the client and the dog need to go through together.

Need to be a good match all round A qualified partnership. It can't be

done too quickly. That's the truth. A waiting list of 18 months is quite

healthy when you talk about a good partnership. Give us an idea of what

dogs like Archie can do or what Archie has been trained to do at the

minute? When traineded correctly and given the time they just change

people's lives. Our Medical Detection Dogs save lives. We saw on

the video the sad stories. People live with these life-threatening

conditions that are terrifying for both the individual and the family.

These dogs, through their sense of smell, can be trained to alert these

individuals to these oncoming medical crisises. Keeping them out

of hospital. Keeping them safe and really transforming their lives.

It's sad when this is abused and goes wrong. Does Archie have a

match? He does indeed. He has been with us for 18 months. He came to us

as a puppy. He is in advance training now. He is going to

somebody who has a rather unusual condition, he will warn her before

she was a black-out. Our dogs work to a reliability of 95% we monitor

them all the time, through the training and through placements. We

know how the dogs are performing and make sure that dog and the person

are happy. Thank you for bringing Archie along. Looks relaxed? He does

it. Enjoying the animals on the Christmas set. Thank you to you and

the Inside Out team for that story. Yes. Christmas wouldn't be Christmas

without a tree. Lee and Olly we have a picture of Matt's tree and my

tree. We wanted you to try and guess whose is who? One is real, one is

fake? Really? What about the tree! Have a good look. One of you has a

lovely bannister. I'm feeling like the left one is definitely Alex's

one it looks really feminined a good. The one on the right looks

like my tree. It's more of a man's tree. You didn't have a box to stand

on to do the top of the tree and gave up. Mine is the one on the

left! Awkward. We have a horrible bannister. You have a lovely

bannister. L-is a story behind it that is too long. I haven't

committed to a colour scheme until next year which is why it's patchy.

I have a talented wife and children who did mine. Christine has found

the perfect supplier. Make sure that you buy enough baubles. Shame. At

this time of the year huge Christmas trees decorate our towns and cities.

Getting these giants into place is much harder than you might think.

Most trees began their journey in the far north of England, way back

in October. We are in Northumberland. 250 square miles of

Wildwood land. Military it's comprised of spruce, a conifer that

can grow up to 50 meters tall. It's Britain's largest forest, first

planted back in 1926 to replenish the nation with timber following

World War I. Large parts of the area are managed for wildlife. A high

density block out light and can stifle biodiversity. Christmas time

offers a festive solution to this problem. At the end of October over

1,000 mature trees are removed. Selected by local authorities, they

are then transported by road to become their city's Christmas

centrepiece. Selling the giant trees without

ruining the land takes skilled chainsaw work. The branches will not

break as they hit the ground. The man in charge of the festival

harvest is the estate manager James. I have a burning question for him.

We are at the end of October. A long wait before Christmas. How can you

be sure of keeping the needles on the tree. This will keep its needles

for three months, well beyond Christmas. It goes straight from the

forest to the city centre and not near the dreaded central heating.

That is what I do, I decorate it straightaway and enjoy Christmas and

the festivities. The trees then need to be lifted out of the forest. By

helicopter. The best looking Christmas trees are often in the

most remote areas, inaccessible by land. Lifting them out is the only

way to protect the shape of the tree without damaging the rest of the

forest. The biggest trees supplied can be over 50 feet tall and some

can weigh up to three tonnes. Just like the trees we take to our homes

the giant trees have to be wrapped to protect them on the next stage of

the journey. They are transported by night to avoid locking traffic. Some

travel for hundreds of miles, even into the very heart of the nation 's

capital in front of the Houses of Parliament. And then it is time to

add some decorations. 300 miles from the Northumberland Forest this tree

is now adding a bit of Christmas magic. To the heart of London.

Beautiful. So many images in that film that will stay with me for the

festive period. I just loved it. It was very nice. Onto Olly Murs and

his album, many people no doubt will find it under their tree. This is an

updated version of the album that came out at the beginning of the

year. So what is extra. This is like a DVD. We did it a couple of years

ago, this year we went on tour and videoed it. We thought we have to

use this footage so I thought we could put it on the album and give

the fans a chance to see me on tour, and by people who did not get the

chance to see me. What was the highlight of the tour? Robbie

Williams, he came down, I have done a lot with him over the last couple

of years. So he came down to the show in London. And we sang

troublemaker. It was amazing. John Bishop came on at the end of the

tour in Liverpool to do it which was funny as well. Troublemaker, he

sang, as well. It was a massive surprise, he is a friend of mine. I

did not realise that he was coming on stage and I thought, what is this

really horrible voice! I saw him last week and he had a different

spin on that story! I looked over and he was there with this pink

tight shirt that he had got from the stand. Just hilarious. You talk

about his pink shirt but then with Robbie Williams, you did a duet with

him. And can you explain yourself! Basically we did the whole tour in

the summer and I loved it. I said to Robbie, I had it as a surprise for

him to come out on stage on the last light of the tour. I got told not to

do it because he does not like surprises. I decided to just send

him a picture to say thank you for having me on tour. And Kylie Minogue

actually replied and said that I had a lovely bottom! And what about the

last couple of weeks, X-Factor is over and you have just been

relaxing? It has been a crazy year but the last couple of weeks on the

X-Factor has been amazing stop it has been a great roller-coaster. And

the winner Louisa Johnson has a tremendous voice, did you pick her

early on? When we did the auditions you could tell there was something

special. As you do when you watch the show. Even when I watched it,

you just know certain acts but come on and you think unless she does

something drastically wrong she is going to make it. For her to get to

the final, she was always incredible. Her voice was insane and

it came down to good song choices. You have been through the whole

process twice, as a singer and as a presenter. It has been brilliant. It

is so different as a contestant. But being presenter was pretty cool.

Would you do it again? I would love to. You only get a one-year contract

so you never know. All the media speculation about next year, that is

up to Simon and ITV. But I loved it and the support of the fans and

everyone was great. I really enjoyed it. Every Saturday and Sunday,

regardless of the silly mistakes I made... It is hard when people do

point the finger. It is live television but I do love the show

and really it has changed my life from six years ago when I worked in

a call centre to now. You have seen it from all angles. Well the album

is out now. Now just down the road from the studio Star Wars fans are

out in force for the London premiere of the much anticipated new film. I

love being here! Reviewers are saying it is a sure-fire hit but

there is one island where it might not have quite as many fans. Over to

Alex Riley. Once upon a time on an island far,

far away. Not that far away, actually, just over there. The

island of Skellig Michael off the coast of Co Kerry in south-west

Ireland. For thousands of years it has been a small rocky outcrop in

the Atlantic Ocean but it just has got a starring role in the biggest

movie franchise of all time. There were stories about what happened.

It is true. All of it.

Not all vocals to leave the red carpet should have been ruled out

for Star Wars. In real life this is a protected UNESCO world Heritage

site and also a statutory nature reserve set up by the Irish

government. The ecosystem on Skellig Michael is so precious that access

is strictly controlled. But we have been granted permission to come

ashore with a small film crew. Bob Harris is the warden. You come here

and see the great bird flight all around you, thousands of puffins

nastier, this is their only land spot. But the tranquil island --

Ireland is at the centre of a storm of controversy are gaining and 14

when the Irish government permitted Star Wars to film at the height of

the nesting season. It was reported that a helicopter swept young

kittiwakes into the sea. And there are concerns that any filming could

have negative impact. There is erosion here, rock falls. It is

important that it should be preserved in a pristine way so the

experience remains unique. The Irish government has bent over backwards

for Star Wars. An Irish Navy vessel which old waters during filming and

no charge was made for the use of the island. In September this year

there was more drumming and afterwards the government revealed

that repairs had to be carried out to some of the steps leading to the

ancient monastery here. Catherine McMahon is a member of the Heritage

lobby group. What is your fear if the government keeps allowing people

to film. It is the lack of information and the danger of

damaging such a fragile island. These unique beehive huts were built

by monks in the seventh century and some people believe that the peace

that they came in search of has been violated. To have a film shot in

such a sacred place does not feel right. We feel there are other

places far less fragile bird could be done. It is a special place to a

lot of people. Not all locals agree that Skellig Michael has been turned

to the dark side. After all tourism is the mainstay of the economy in

this nearby town. Gerard Kennedy is the owner of a local hotel and

chairman of the tourism committee in the village. Already I would say

tourism has climbed by 12% since the film, even before it was released.

We had the wrap party at the bar. George Lucas was there. But there is

a serious question. It is great that people can make money from Star Wars

coming to Skellig Michael at if it destroys this unique world Heritage

site, then you have lost something that you can never replace. The

tourism board will not let that happen and people in the local area

will not let that happen. 180 people go there every day anyway and I do

not see the difference between that and a film crew. And just like the

Star Wars films themselves it seems this argument is set to run and run.

He is good at acting. Tremendous. We do not know what mission Han Solo

has. In the new film. But Kerry is on a special mission. She's owing to

surprise someone with the help of none other than Kylie Minogue. Tell

us where you are? We are in south-west London in the garden of

someone who has no idea that we are here. We have transformed the garden

into a winter wonderland with the Christmas tree, Father Christmas

himself. We have the National youth choir dressed as Christmas puddings.

And of course Miss Kylie Minogue. In a moment we are going to reveal who

the person is. If you do know her to not get in contact with her because

that would spoil the surprise. What can you tell us? She has that a

tough few years battling breast cancer but has done a lot of good

with her situation and raised incredible amounts of money. The

Haven is a place where people suffering from breast cancer can go

and get additional help. Well we have told a lot of lies in the past

24 hours. We told you we were filming of random, inspirational

people who have done amazing things. She fell for it to get her story and

here it is. Four years ago I went for what I thought would be a normal

checkup and a couple of hours later I was diagnosed with breast cancer.

I found out I was going to have any effect on me everyone shocked. I

loved my career, I was fit and healthy, there was nothing in my

family history. It was out of the blue. One of the hardest things is

seeing friends and family upset. I remember my parents saying that it

should have been them. Lou and I set out to have a family and when she

was first diagnosed we had just started to try. It was a double

blow, dealing with cancer and then the secondary part was the prospect

of not having children. We tried to be supported but without a great

deal of knowledge, I felt out of my depth. The Haven is a haven for

people with breast cancer. Louise used our services and felt she

wanted to put something back so she ran a half marathon and then wanted

to go further. So she chaired the committee. They managed to raise

?160,000 and that means 160 women will benefit from our services. I am

incredibly proud of how Louise has come through all this. Louise has

great strength of character. She is a humble person but she is amazing.

I cannot leave the roller-coaster we have been on now and four years

later to have our little daughter, all our dreams come true. It is a

miracle for us, very special. I did not think I would ever have her. I

do not feel I have done anything out of the ordinary. I have done what

anyone else would have done in my shoes.

We have Kylie and a choir in the garden. We have family and friend.

That was a bit limp. We have family and friends. YEAH! We have husband

and baby Sienna. That is why they were quiet. Lou is on her way. Next

time you come back to us the big surprise is on. Are you ready? Are

you ready for a sing-song. We will have to do it quiet. Maybe a

lullaby. Kylie, any lullabies?

# Silent night... # We look forward to catching them up

later to see how it goes. Lee, you have got the most beautiful picture

of Kylie Minogue in your biography? I is have. It wasn't the intention.

It was ambition to meet the Queen. Kylie Minogue is more prominent. Who

is the cameraman? Alfie Boa. I said get me a picture of the Queen. She

doesn't hang around. She can move. We have something. We have taken Her

Majesty from further down-the-line. When she was meeting Stevie Wonder.

We put them together. She looks delighted to see you there. Is She's

smiling more at Stevie Wonder than me! It works well. Thank you. I'm

impressed with that. Thank you very much. That is going straight on

eBay. Let us talk about Not Going Out. It's on Christmas Eve, isn't

it? 10.45pm. That is the evening not demoted to the early morning slot.

Where are Lee and Lucy at? At a department store. It's set in a

department store on Christmas Eve. We get into trouble and get

locked-in. Terms of their relationship, bring us up to speed?

Is that what you meant. I thought you would get it? Tell me where you

are with Lucy. In a department store, Alex. Where are we? Together?

In the bedding department. We are now married. We got married last

year in the Christmas special last year. I'm not giving much away. You

will be showing clips. You teed it up beautifully you are in a

department store. She is heavily pregnant. Hello. Hi. Come to visit

Santa. Santa has left. You can sit on my knee if you like, love. Toby

and Anya, our neighbours, Frank, Lee's dad. Not what you would expect

He's pretty much exactly what I'd expect. The Eagle eyed amongst us

notice that you don't often make eye-contact with the people you are

on set with. Is that to stop laughing Sally, who plays Lucy. She

taught me a technique. If you dig your nails into your thighs much I

will look at someone and dig the nails in to stop myself laughing.

Some reviewers of the show don't like it. They say watching is

enough. I'm drawing blood - You must go home at the end of a filming day

- The right leg is covered in blood and my left thigh. Another typical

day with Bobby Ball. The theme has always been, will they, won't they?

Now that they are It's all over. Is it trickier? This was a difficult

one. It's the first one where we have been married. She's heavily

pregnant in it. So I just did the cop out of going - we will do an

adventure thriller instead. We are talking about a possible new series

where we will do the more family stuff. It worked out well, didn't

it? Yes, it did work out well. Not a real baby, if that is what you mean.

A longer run? I see what you mean. I thought it worked out well she got

pregnant. That's what you wanted to do. You have to spell things out for

you. You said something a few years agricultural, you write a joke every

30 seconds. An incredible amount of gags in a sitcom like that. It must

be challenging. Nothing has been confirmed for a new series he says

diplomatically. It happens, and it starts in July! We don't know if

it's confirmed. I have written the first episode, in case it happens.

It's weird writing about family life. We have slowed it down a bit.

Less jokes and more children's nappies. We are talking about

cutting to five years from now and having family with a lot of

children. That is how we are thinking of doing it. Not that it's

confirmed. You have been on tour. Your DVD box set is out? A live

stand-up collection I believe it's called. I really want to get it. We

will swap it. You must be boried with will they won't they with

Caroline? We have been great Will they? Mates. I don't know. Put a

show together. I'm struggling to write my own sitcom, I'm not writing

one for you. Not Going Out is on Christmas Eve at 10 much 45pm.

Pretty late. What do you mean pretty late? You will be preparing the veg.

Christmas Day is the only day you cook? It's the one day of the year

where I just say to my lady wife don't do anything today, my darling.

I will do everything. He says because he hasn't bought a present

again! I prepare everything. I follow Nigella's recipes and put it

in a bucket of water for three days. We have rounded up chefs old and new

to see what their tips are. Listen carefully. Welcome to my little

series on Christmas know how. What I hope to do, by sharing my own

Christmas with you, is give you... Wisdom for which you will be

grateful. I promise to give you the perfect Perfect Perfect. Perfect

Christmas. Right. Turkey time. I hate turkey.

It's so easy. I feel sure that even a man could walk into the kitchen

and make. It Turkeys are the hardest bird to cook. We start with the most

important of all. A bottle of good, strong red wine. You begin the

process of lubricating the dry bird. Smear the butter all over. Then

start massaging gently. I know it's not pretty, it will taste fabulous.

Right. It's time to cook. We will cook everything on tin foil. Two

pieces of foil. Don't Putney tin foil on. Preheat the oven to 180

degrees. 200 degrees. 220. Gas mark 4. Gas mark 7. . Should be able to

drop it down a tin mine without it I love the breaking. Brussel sprouts.

It's like licking a fish tank. Snide do them anyway because my mother

did. Every mum in Britain criss-crosses it. Criss-cross them.

They don't realise what they are doing. They are helping it to

overcook. Yummy. Now, we will do a Christmas pud. It would be a nice

treat to do a Christmas pudding. The first ingredient is three quarters

of a pint of milk. Half a pint of cider. A glass of brandy. Three

table spoons of rum. Half a bottle into the dish itself. If it seems a

tiny bit dry you can add more stout. Shut your eyes and it's delicious.

On behalf of us all... A very happy Christmas. Happy Christmas. Happy

Christmas. Like Tiny Tim, God bless you all. There we are, that just

about clears it up there. We are just - You are not getting away with

that. You looked at Gary Rhodes and said - can you play the violin.

Nigel Kennedy. I didn't! I knew it was him. We are hearing from Carrie

at the moment that Lou is about to turn up at her house. What Lou

doesn't know is that Carrie has smuggled Kylie Minogue into her

house ready to surprise her with a Christmas performance. Can you see

her? I'm here with husband Charlie. Charlie, this is often a great

surprise. What have you got her for Christmas, how are you going to top

it? I have one or two things. It has been an amazing year for you guys?

Phenomenonal. Here she is. Lou, hi, do you want to say to hello to each

other? I'm Carrie Grant, I will move you, you are live on the One Show

tonight. Lots of people, including your husband and your mum and dad

have done so much lying over the last 24-hours. They definitely have.

No-one ever surprises me. OK. We have a treat for you. Follow me. We

know that you have had a tough few years. We also know that even

through those tough years you've done the most incredible work to

support other people going through the same thing as you. What we

wanted to do was say a big thank you and well done to you. We have

gathered some of your family and friend. We've got your brother, Ash.

We have Pam from The Haven charity. Some of the volunteers. We have even

got Sienna. Out in the garden, I don't know if you have managed to

make it that far. We have a little surprise out here for you. It's an

early Christmas present. Take it away.

# It's the most wonderful time of the year.

# And everyone telling you "Be of good cheer".

# It's the most wonderful time of the year.

# It's the hap-happiest season of all.

# With those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings.

# It's the hap- happiest season of all.

# It's the most wonderful time of the year.

# And hearts will be glowing. # When love ones are near.

# It's the most wonderful time of the year.

APPLAUSE. Completely surreal. I'm not often surprised. We will share a

microphone. Kylie Minogue has just sung on my astroturf. I'm like a

gnome who keeps appearing. I'm sure it has moved. We wanted to surprise

you. I know about your story and how much work you have done for

everyone. I understand your story closer than someone off the street.

I'm very proud of you and very thankful on behalf of everyone who

you have helped. So thank you so much.

APPLAUSE. Thank you. This is the end of what has been an incredible year.

Can we get a reaction from you? I'm not sure I've got any words at the

moment. I'm absolutely gobsmacked. Yeah, it's been a wonderful year. I

just think... I don't feel like I've done anything more than anyone else

would do in my shoes. It's all the other people with breast cancer that

I'm proud of them and they're all brave. So... , yeah. Wow. Have some

champagne. Let's celebrate here in the back garden that we took over.

Thank you very much. Cheers everybody.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE CHEERING AND

Merry Christmas to the family. That was so special. It would be so

strange to have Kylie Minogue in your garden singing! Thank you so

much to Kylie Minogue and members of the National youth choir is of great

Britain for making that happen. And they were performing that song that

is on Kylie's Christmas album. Lee Mack, you are on Not Going Out on

Christmas Eve and we also have a double dose of wood I'd to you. I

cannot remember at the time! 8:30pm. Have a look to see if you think that

he is lying. Last Christmas my wife asked me to pop out and get four or

five lemons and some lines. But I misheard and came back with 45

lemons and 89 lines. In better news we have not suffered

from scurvy in a long time! We have been doing the show for so long and

sometimes I watch old episodes and cannot remember if it is true or not

even when I have said it. Well we will have to watch at Christmas Eve

on eight o'clock. We will not give it away now. But we are going to

keep it going a little bit. Putting you to the test with a little game

that we are calling... Would I Lie To Yule. Why have we not for those

that for the Christmas special! We have four people in the audience who

all claim to do festive jobs. We will tell you what they do it you

can ask questions and then you decide who is lying. Spot the fake

job. Eight-year-old Rob first. He claims to be the longest serving

Santa impersonator in the UK and gives lessons to other aspiring

impersonators. Then we have Lynn who claims to be a professional mince

pie taste. She has already devoured 2000 mince pies this year. And

Robert, is he the King of Brussels sprouts. He claims to be a farmer

who supplies more Brussels sprouts to the UK than anyone else. And if

Christmas has him tied up in knots, and yet is the UK's first ever

official Christmas tree lights untangled. What is the secret to

untangling Christmas lights? Work your way backwards. Just find the

end or the plug. And do you like Brussels sprouts? They are great.

You are really interrogating him! I have no idea what to ask! What is

the secret to a good mince pie? It is the ratio of the pastry to the

filling. I have my own former, three parts fruit, one part sugar and one

part grandly. You could not found any more northern! -- sound. I think

they're all convincing. Can you say Ho, Ho, Ho? Now do it properly! How

many children either in the world? I will give you 20 either way. You

have got to guess. I cannot believe someone untangles Christmas lights

for a job. I think it is the mince pie lady. We will go with that.

Mince pie is a liar. Would the fake person please step forward. I

thought he was a farmer! I thought he was definitely a Brussels sprouts

farmer. And here is the proof of them all doing their thing. She had

to untangle lights in under three minutes and she did it in one minute

and a half. Could you do it with snakes that have got wrapped up? I

do it also with jewellery and that kind of thing. That was the clean

version! Olly Murs is about to perform outside in just a minute.

But we have had a lot of surprises this evening and here we have a few

more surprises about a Christmas Carol that you think you know very

well. To most people come all Ye faithful is a religious song written

about the birth of Jesus but take a closer look and this Christmas Carol

is not what it seems. Written more than 270 years ago its origins are

shrouded in intrigue, rebellion and even high treason. Stonyhurst

College in Lancashire is home to one of the oldest surviving manuscripts

of this familiar Christmas Carol. The curator Jan believes that its

writer John Francis Wade hid secret messages in the verses. Why was

there a need for secrecy? The Catholic faith was outlawed in

England and Catholics were regarded with suspicion because they did not

belong to the state church and owned allegiance to the Pope in Rome so it

was bought it had divided loyalties. John Francis Wade lived in exile but

supported the rebels back home with this song and its subversive text.

Here you have the first line. It talks about the faithful, the

Catholic faithful who kept the faith through exile at trial and

tribulation. Bethlehem for Catholics also meant the royal city where the

exiled King should be. So it is saying come back to the land, out of

exile. Come to the place where the true king is. Powerful stuff. It was

quickly copied and passed around all of Europe and smuggled into England.

It would have been a rallying cry. So it is really against the

government and ends up being sung in churches all over the world, all

different churches. The car was translated into English in 1789 and

it became a commodity faithful. By the 1850s when the Anglican Church

took it up it had lost all the associations and was simply a

beautiful and charming Christmas carol with the lovely children. --

lovely tune. The meaning may have changed over the years but what

about the children? In the mid-18th-century techniques for

writing down music not standard and the music sheets are difficult to

decipher. Stonyhurst head of music Greg man has been analysing the

manuscript for clues as to how it sounded. Just looking at this it

does not look anything like modern-day written music. How easy

was it for you to look at that and no what was meant when it was

written. We had several clues, we note that the note are quite

similar. But there are subtle differences. And the shape of the

notes as well. Square means one beat, Diamond half upbeat and the

dots one and a half. We should do music like this now, much easier!

Could you play a little bit? It feels a bit more languid. It is

slower but it is to be sung in a robust and soulful way. I'm not

doing justice on the piano, much better if you hear it sung. Greg has

arranged for the student choir Stonyhurst College to perform the

Carol as Wade intended. It may have started as a rallying

cry for rebellion but today it is a favourite with everyone. And if you

would like to learn how to play another of our favourite carols

Silent night go to the website and you will find the piano tutorial.

Now Olly Murs is about to perform but before that we have time to

thank all the guess this evening. Kylie Minogue of course and Lee

Mack. Not Going Out on Christmas Eve to not forget. Tomorrow we're joined

by David Jason. But first the form in his new single from the album, it

can only be Olly Murs! # I'm gonna take
