:00:15. > :00:17.Hello and welcome to The One Show with Alex Jones.
:00:18. > :00:23.Something about having tonight's guest looking at me
:00:24. > :00:29.He was part of my morning routine for the last 15 years,
:00:30. > :00:46.Outrageous breach of studio discipline, we always used to hide
:00:47. > :00:53.the porridge under the desk before we went on. And the toothbrush. You
:00:54. > :01:00.more than deserve a sleep in. I'm really enjoying lie ins, I'm waking
:01:01. > :01:04.up fairly early but it's such a joy to go Faure, is it really? I'll just
:01:05. > :01:13.go back to sleep, fantastic. -- to go, 4am. Until you left nobody
:01:14. > :01:17.realised the man always sits on the right-hand side of the woman. No one
:01:18. > :01:24.had ever realised until I left. What a stir. We flipped yesterday for
:01:25. > :01:26.fun. I flipped when I read the story. The responses that came in,
:01:27. > :01:31.there was a lot of response. This one came in
:01:32. > :01:38.from Hazel Chadwick. We have this evening. Geoff Jones
:01:39. > :01:56.wasn't happy either. You see, I can hear better from here
:01:57. > :02:08.actually. A final word on the matter, we have John.
:02:09. > :02:15.That's what John things, what do you think? I was baffled because in all
:02:16. > :02:19.the years I've been presenting, 18 in all, I started on News 24, we sat
:02:20. > :02:23.on the other side. It has never cropped up, I've never had this
:02:24. > :02:29.notion it implies seniority at all. It's all about partnership.
:02:30. > :02:33.Definitely. You put something is down to experience, knowing more,
:02:34. > :02:41.but you work together. There is no senior partner except in terms of
:02:42. > :02:44.age. I'm presuming fatties you. -- I am presuming that is you. Are you
:02:45. > :02:47.going to read on, Alex? John Sergeant might not be anyone's
:02:48. > :02:49.idea of a boy racer, but with new 20mph speed limits
:02:50. > :02:53.cropping up all over the country, you don't have to be going very fast
:02:54. > :02:56.at all to be a rule breaker. We sent John for drive around
:02:57. > :03:13.Edinburgh, a place that's fast I've been driving over 50 years and
:03:14. > :03:17.while I generally stick to the rules I've never considered myself a
:03:18. > :03:21.slowcoach. We're seeing more and more of these popping up on our
:03:22. > :03:26.roads, they are aimed at slowing us all down to improve safety. But in
:03:27. > :03:35.my experience many people don't slow down to 20. For those of us who do,
:03:36. > :03:41.like myself, our law-abiding public spirited approach isn't always
:03:42. > :03:48.appreciated. Well, really! And now Scotland is getting the 20 is
:03:49. > :03:52.plenty. Edinburgh is set to become the first Scottish city to become
:03:53. > :03:57.almost entirely 20 miles an hour. Our drivers here taking any notice?
:03:58. > :03:59.I've got my hands on a speed gun to see how many drivers are sticking to
:04:00. > :04:19.the limit. 30. That's not good. 26. 19, well
:04:20. > :04:23.done, old boy. The over 70s, you can always trust them. People are
:04:24. > :04:27.supposed to be driving at 20 or less on this road, 50% of the streets
:04:28. > :04:36.here have this limit. In three years' time 80% will be limited to
:04:37. > :04:41.20. 32! White van man. We'll find out just how many drivers I found
:04:42. > :04:45.breaking the limit a bit later. In the meantime I'm catching a ride
:04:46. > :04:49.with cabbie Paul Quinn who has been driving taxis around Edinburgh for
:04:50. > :04:54.the last 13 years. What do you think about this plan for a 20 mile per
:04:55. > :05:00.hour limit across the whole city? They plan to do it for 24 hours. 5am
:05:01. > :05:07.there isn't a lot of traffic, even less people. 20 miles an hour is far
:05:08. > :05:12.too slow. We've now got a tailback six or seven cars behind us because
:05:13. > :05:17.we're driving 20 mph. It's like being in a funeral procession, isn't
:05:18. > :05:22.it? Joking aside, I mean, you could save lives, couldn't you, if you had
:05:23. > :05:26.a 20 mile limit across the city? No doubt about it, especially around
:05:27. > :05:31.schools. Over the whole of the city I think is too much. Reducing your
:05:32. > :05:36.speed to 20 does cut down on conditions and casualties,
:05:37. > :05:42.Portsmouth, Newcastle and Birmingham have all seen fewer accidents in
:05:43. > :05:46.areas that have a 20 mile limit. Gary McGough takes a taxi to the
:05:47. > :05:52.train station twice a week. From July his journey will be entirely a
:05:53. > :05:56.20 mph one. How will you be affected by this 20 mile an hour limit? It'll
:05:57. > :06:00.add time to the day, we all live busy lives as it is. Will you be
:06:01. > :06:06.charging more because it takes longer? It will, because we are
:06:07. > :06:10.going slower, the meter still ticks, so Gary's fair will be more
:06:11. > :06:16.expensive. You will be going slower, paying more. And not being so happy.
:06:17. > :06:21.Possibly missing the train as well. For a lot of people in the city, the
:06:22. > :06:25.inconvenience of slowing down is far outweighed by the importance of
:06:26. > :06:29.safety. The city is white congested, there might be small children, it is
:06:30. > :06:32.getting busier and busier, you never know what all walked out in front of
:06:33. > :06:35.you. I've seen a lot of near misses, forcing people to slow down will
:06:36. > :06:39.make a difference. The difference between 20 and 30 mph compared to
:06:40. > :06:44.the difference in not killing someone, for me it's a no-brainer.
:06:45. > :06:50.One group of locals all for the lower limit are the city cyclists.
:06:51. > :06:56.Jean-Claude heads a local campaign group. This is a 30 mph zone at the
:06:57. > :07:00.moment, it will be 20 mph, will it make a big difference? It will,
:07:01. > :07:03.traffic at the moment is trying to get to 30 mph but they are
:07:04. > :07:06.struggling to do that because it's really quite busy. They are
:07:07. > :07:11.accelerating, then breaking to get down so they don't hit the car in
:07:12. > :07:15.front, by making the speed 20, it calms the whole atmosphere. In
:07:16. > :07:19.London, Islington was the first borough to implement 20 mph
:07:20. > :07:25.restrictions. A recent survey found drivers were averaging 27 miles an
:07:26. > :07:29.hour. So how fast are they going here in Edinburgh? 24, a taxi.
:07:30. > :07:36.I've been here for the past hour, very few of these cars are sticking
:07:37. > :07:43.to the 20 mile limit, so how is it the council can enforce a 20 mile
:07:44. > :07:48.limit across most of Edinburgh? Edinburgh City Council say they
:07:49. > :07:51.won't put up fixed speed cameras, but police will do spot checks and
:07:52. > :07:56.issue fines to speeding motorists. The estimate since introducing the
:07:57. > :08:01.limit casualties have dropped 20% in the new 20 zones. As I've
:08:02. > :08:05.discovered, getting drivers to slow down is not going to be easy.
:08:06. > :08:08.A whopping 79% of the cars John recorded, broke the speed limit -
:08:09. > :08:12.it's clearly not easy sticking to 20mph.
:08:13. > :08:20.I don't think you'll be moving to Edinburgh any time soon, will you?
:08:21. > :08:26.Maybe not. You've retired from BBC breakfast. Only from the sofa, I'm
:08:27. > :08:30.still doing lots of other things. One of the things you are doing is
:08:31. > :08:36.this quiz, how did that all happen? Where did the idea come from? I've
:08:37. > :08:41.been wanting to do one for ages, it's called Think Tank, starts on
:08:42. > :08:44.BBC One at 2:15pm next Monday. It involves three contestants all
:08:45. > :08:49.competing for a modest cash prize, being a BBC show. Aided and abetted
:08:50. > :08:54.by the Think Tank, from a pool of 12, eight people from all over
:08:55. > :08:58.Britain, not experts by any means. They may have a bit of specialist
:08:59. > :09:02.knowledge, all great characters. Their job is to help contestants get
:09:03. > :09:04.the right answer. Sadly, sometimes they don't do that. It's all part of
:09:05. > :09:12.the fun. That's have a look, let's see the
:09:13. > :09:16.Think Tank giving interesting answers to a hairy question. Which
:09:17. > :09:20.politician won his sixth parliamentary beard of the year
:09:21. > :09:25.award in 2015? Scratch your chin if you want to for a moment while we
:09:26. > :09:30.see what the Think Tank came up with. Jeremy Corbyn. John Prescott.
:09:31. > :09:41.Diane Abbott. Intriguing answers. I will go with
:09:42. > :09:48.Jeremy Corbyn. Let's see if you are right. Of course you are! Jackie!
:09:49. > :09:52.LAUGHTER To be fair to Jackie, what they have
:09:53. > :09:56.to do is they see the questions beforehand, the Think Tank, they
:09:57. > :10:00.have to sit an exam. Hundreds of questions they have to answer
:10:01. > :10:04.quickly, she would have thought, I'll put... Diane Abbott, think of
:10:05. > :10:07.anybody from Parliament, I'll come back and change it later, she didn't
:10:08. > :10:13.get the opportunity. She is a whiz other questions. The think tank is
:10:14. > :10:19.full of characters. -- the Think Tank is full of characters. They are
:10:20. > :10:23.more integral to the show. We hope people watching if not identifying
:10:24. > :10:27.with them will see them as friends. Which I'm sure you did by the time
:10:28. > :10:31.he finished filming. It was lovely, very sad to say goodbye, we hope to
:10:32. > :10:35.get together very soon, they are a great bunch of people. We were sad
:10:36. > :10:38.when you said goodbye to BBC breakfast, but I love the reason you
:10:39. > :10:45.said you were doing it, to spend more time with your bees. You have
:10:46. > :10:48.grand plans, don't you? Moving to Suffolk, the past few years I've
:10:49. > :10:53.been in the Peak District and it's too high and windy for the bees.
:10:54. > :10:59.I've left them on a farm in Buckinghamshire. There are whole new
:11:00. > :11:03.generation is now. We are going to renew our acquaintance. They've been
:11:04. > :11:06.happy on their own, I've gone over and checked them a little bit,
:11:07. > :11:10.giving them something to each to keep going through winter, but it'll
:11:11. > :11:15.be really good to get back to proper beekeeping again. Beekeeping has
:11:16. > :11:22.become quite trendy. You've started something. What mistakes do new
:11:23. > :11:27.beekeepers make? As a beekeeper, when you are starting, it's easy to
:11:28. > :11:31.be too keen to go in and disrupt the bees too often, you want to check
:11:32. > :11:34.them. For the bees it is like having the roof ripped off your house,
:11:35. > :11:39.somebody takes the furniture out and put it back together. They need to
:11:40. > :11:44.be left alone more, the first lesson of beekeeping is, you will get
:11:45. > :11:48.stung. In my case, a lot, you tend to be clumsy, moved to quickly, you
:11:49. > :11:53.have to go slowly and learn to work with the bees, rather than on them.
:11:54. > :12:00.Always make sure your zips are closed. Pull your zips closed! As
:12:01. > :12:06.you are the newest BBC quiz host, it's time to play a quick quiz of
:12:07. > :12:09.our own. When you left BBC breakfast, your co-host, Steph
:12:10. > :12:13.McGovern, said, Bill, who will correct my grammar now? We've got a
:12:14. > :12:18.quiz on one of your favourite objects, not bees, we're going to
:12:19. > :12:23.talk grammar. They used to call me the grammar hammer. Now I'm on the
:12:24. > :12:27.spot. The land join us on the set of Grammar Bee! -- come and join us on
:12:28. > :12:38.the set. There we are. We have a theme tune
:12:39. > :12:44.and everything. I absolutely adore the theme tune. Matt made up the
:12:45. > :12:49.theme tune especially for the segment this afternoon. A pleasure,
:12:50. > :12:55.very nice. You've got some honey and the breakfast table. We've got a
:12:56. > :13:00.team here in a traditional setting. We have, this team is called Stormin
:13:01. > :13:03.Norman, a pub quiz team, but you have been banned from the pub
:13:04. > :13:09.because you are so good. You've got your very own Think Tank to go up
:13:10. > :13:13.against a night. Three of them and one of me. Mix, Graham and Norman.
:13:14. > :13:22.Twitch -- Nick, Graham and Norman. Is
:13:23. > :13:25.grammar a strong point? I'm OK, should be all right.
:13:26. > :13:36.Stormin Norman, first question, in 2008, Tesco was criticised for its
:13:37. > :13:40.ten items or less signs, why? Ten items or fewer. Correct answer, it
:13:41. > :13:48.should be ten items or fewer. Well done, one point. I knew that one.
:13:49. > :13:51.Watch the start of this Justin Bieber music video and tell us what
:13:52. > :14:03.grammatical mistake he makes in the first opening line of the song.
:14:04. > :14:09.# If I was your boyfriend I'd never let you go #. If I was your
:14:10. > :14:16.boyfriend I'd never you go. If I was your boyfriend... If I were, I
:14:17. > :14:20.think. Correct, very good. Let's look at that sentence, it is bad
:14:21. > :14:24.grammar because it is a one on sentence, a sentence that goes on
:14:25. > :14:32.too long. What novel is this sentence taken from? We will have to
:14:33. > :14:44.hurry you. Charles Dickens, a tale of two cities. Correct answer, well
:14:45. > :14:47.done. Back to you, Bill. According to a new directive from the
:14:48. > :14:49.government, what kind of punctuation should primary school children be
:14:50. > :15:06.discovered from overusing? ! Exclamation marks. Correct. Grammar
:15:07. > :15:10.schools were set up in the 16th century. According to the late to
:15:11. > :15:15.let macro latest figures, how many state grammar schools are there in
:15:16. > :15:28.the UK today? -- according to the latest figures. 120. 59. Stormin
:15:29. > :15:35.Norman wins, it was 232. Good game, good game. Thank you, Stormin
:15:36. > :15:40.Norman, thank you, Bill. We'll give it to you, you can celebrate with
:15:41. > :15:46.your meat. It's a lovely Grammar Bee Trophy. APPLAUSE
:15:47. > :15:54.George Osborne set aside ?150 million to -- ?115 to tackle rising
:15:55. > :15:58.homelessness. We asked three homeless people who regularly sleep
:15:59. > :16:02.on the streets not far from where we are sat right now to tell us their
:16:03. > :16:06.stories. Here's Race, Tristan and Tina.
:16:07. > :16:14.I have been on and off the streets for 24 years. What can I do? I am
:16:15. > :16:22.fighting a losing battle. When you are sleeping rough, the
:16:23. > :16:26.earth is your met interests and the -- mattress and the sky is your
:16:27. > :16:33.blanket, which is pretty cool. I would say one in every 500 people -
:16:34. > :16:38.sometimes they look like they will catch something off us or something.
:16:39. > :16:42.I became homeless first when I was about 16.
:16:43. > :16:48.That was back home in Ireland. Then I met a guy, came to England with
:16:49. > :16:55.him. Had kids. Things went sour with him. The kids got taken into care
:16:56. > :17:05.and I have been homeless ever since. OK. I am kind of the oldest woman
:17:06. > :17:09.that's sleeping rough at the moment around Westminster. So everybody
:17:10. > :17:13.knows me. If they don't, it will not be long until they know me. I help
:17:14. > :17:18.all the young people coming out on the streets and they know absolutely
:17:19. > :17:22.nothing on how to survive, where to go to get their clothes washed.
:17:23. > :17:26.Where to go to get something choo cheap to eat. Things like this are
:17:27. > :17:32.really important when you are homeless. If you spent 48 hours in
:17:33. > :17:40.my shoes and see how it is and then come and tell me.
:17:41. > :17:51.I changed my name to Ian to Race Calmer by deed poll. I moved to
:17:52. > :17:57.London last year. I have been on the streets since. When I first came
:17:58. > :17:59.here I came off the coach and I literally got lost everywhere. I
:18:00. > :18:03.must have walked about 30 miles. Through that I have got used to
:18:04. > :18:13.London. I come alive with people here. Smile. Oh, it's such a perfect
:18:14. > :18:19.day... Morning. Awe issome. I generally try to make -- awesome. I
:18:20. > :18:24.generally try to make people happy. Smile because you are you and you
:18:25. > :18:29.are awesome. The difference between people today, they give me coffee, a
:18:30. > :18:33.muffin and a few pound, which is quite nice. I have never begged.
:18:34. > :18:38.They always seem to give me money. If you have nothing, and you start
:18:39. > :18:51.off with nothing, you appreciate it more. It must be me eyes.
:18:52. > :19:02.Last March I was out on the streets and I've been out here ever since. I
:19:03. > :19:06.sit on Haymarket, begging there, generally day-to-day. I find it
:19:07. > :19:10.better there on my own than in a crowd of people. It is a dull,
:19:11. > :19:14.lonely day here sometimes. Reading helps you get through the day a lot
:19:15. > :19:19.quicker. Have you got any family? A
:19:20. > :19:24.three-year-old daughter. I get to see her, thanks to my ex-partner,
:19:25. > :19:30.who is willing to let her be part of my life. I like to see her. I like
:19:31. > :19:34.to get off the streets. I am an electrician. A lovely job. I love
:19:35. > :19:38.being in that job. Being out here all day I don't know what to do. The
:19:39. > :19:44.majority of people, when they walk past me don't acknowledge me. They
:19:45. > :19:51.try and take a big step out of the way to get away from you, like they
:19:52. > :19:55.are catch something from you. They have a view of you. You get the one
:19:56. > :20:01.person who stops and takes the time out of the day to ask you how you
:20:02. > :20:04.are and that makes everything different - everything better. We
:20:05. > :20:08.are all human, at the end of the day. I don't think I will be here
:20:09. > :20:13.that long now. I think a few more months and if nothing else occurs I
:20:14. > :20:20.will move on. If something extraordinary were to happen,
:20:21. > :20:24.work-wise or maybe a girlfriend... I have idea what the future holds. I
:20:25. > :20:28.know my five children are in care and when they are old enough I want
:20:29. > :20:30.them to come and see me. I want to be able to tell them the truth of
:20:31. > :20:38.what happened. And thank you to Race, Tristan and
:20:39. > :20:43.Tina. Now The One Show will not be on
:20:44. > :20:50.tomorrow because Sport Relief will start at 7pm here on BBC One. While
:20:51. > :20:53.Alex has enjoyed being back on dry land after your sailing challenge,
:20:54. > :20:57.there is one man who has had enough of dry land by now. There is Eddie
:20:58. > :21:01.Izzard standing by in South Africa, ready to chat to us. First here is
:21:02. > :21:04.our recap of his challenge so far. There is a second for every marathon
:21:05. > :21:41.he's run. And we can have a quick chat with
:21:42. > :21:44.him now. A huge congratulations to you. We understand you have run your
:21:45. > :21:58.him now. A huge congratulations to special one, isn't it? Yes. It was
:21:59. > :22:03.on Robben Island. Nelson Mandela was imprisoned there of the time he was
:22:04. > :22:07.in prison on Robben Island. It is quite a bleak island. Wildlife has
:22:08. > :22:10.now taken it over and it is a museum. I think the wildlife has
:22:11. > :22:15.been there all the time. I was allowed into his cell. It is very
:22:16. > :22:21.small. He had to sleep on a few mats on the concrete. So I ran my entire
:22:22. > :22:26.marathon around Robben Island. I planned for a long time to do that -
:22:27. > :22:30.a salute to the great man. When anyone goes for a run there is the
:22:31. > :22:36.voice that tells them to keep going and the loud voice telling you to
:22:37. > :22:43.stop. What is your secret in kind of overriding that voice that's telling
:22:44. > :22:48.you to stop? How do you keep going? There's grim determination, is one
:22:49. > :22:50.thing. You can bring a camera team with you that films everything and
:22:51. > :22:53.it is so embarrassing to with you that films everything and
:22:54. > :22:58.you keep going. That is the second thing. So, I use a combination of
:22:59. > :23:03.those two things. I tell you what, Eddie, you've done
:23:04. > :23:12.tremendous work. We would love to give you the total you have raised

:24:43. > :24:50.I became well known for you'll like it, not a lot, but you'll like it.
:24:51. > :24:52.It came about in a nightclub. Somebody heckled me. It grew and
:24:53. > :25:06.just stayed with me. And he got the ball and if on other
:25:07. > :25:11.hand the ball and the cup together. You are not following this, are you?
:25:12. > :25:17.I was very, very shy. I justed to read books all the time. There was a
:25:18. > :25:21.book on Victorian magic. I read it and then I discovered something. You
:25:22. > :25:24.can go to a party and say to somebody, have you seen this trick?
:25:25. > :25:29.They will say to you, even if you have done it averagely well, they
:25:30. > :25:33.will say to you, how do you do that? And you grow a little. You know.
:25:34. > :25:44.Don't grow far. It came out of that one. You would
:25:45. > :25:56.have thought it would have come out of that one!
:25:57. > :26:01.Watch the ball... One, two... Is there: Maybe something is wrong with
:26:02. > :26:07.the chair! A nice round of applause for Debbie McGee. She has been my
:26:08. > :26:14.real rock. The songs are corny, aren't they? The wind beneath my
:26:15. > :26:16.wings. I am telling you, she really is. She's been there for me all the
:26:17. > :26:29.time. A fantastic woman. Watch the box... One, two... Right,
:26:30. > :26:33.what is your name? The BBC phoned my primary school. I said, yes, all
:26:34. > :26:38.right. My mum put me in my best dress and we went to the Television
:26:39. > :26:44.Centre. Is there a hole in that ring? Yes.
:26:45. > :26:47.I still to this day, I don't know why I said there's a hole in the
:26:48. > :26:54.middle. Where's the hole? I have not seen it
:26:55. > :26:59.I think in 15 years. And you pull them apart with confidence. You did
:27:00. > :27:04.it! He is so good.
:27:05. > :27:10.To do all of that so gently and keep me on side and do the trick, I
:27:11. > :27:15.think, well he was a genius. I don't believe in camera trickery. I
:27:16. > :27:17.promised you a camera trick. This is a trick with a camera.
:27:18. > :27:32.Three, two, one... I thought it is time to take ahold
:27:33. > :27:38.of magic, move it to now, today. The king then was Bruce. The credit card
:27:39. > :27:42.you found inside that envelope, inside that envelope, which was up
:27:43. > :27:48.in a balloon and came down on a parachute is yours. So I copied
:27:49. > :27:53.Brucy really. His attack and I used it in magic.
:27:54. > :28:02.Go back to your seat! Just a minute... !
:28:03. > :28:15.I have got to go now. I am not afraid of death at all. I
:28:16. > :28:22.am so like my father. He didn't want to die because he wanted to know
:28:23. > :28:26.what was going to happen next. And you know, technically, with the
:28:27. > :28:32.world. Of they will probably one day put me
:28:33. > :28:35.in my box and... Make you disappear. No, I'll escape!
:28:36. > :28:45.LAUGHTER And our thoughts go out to Debbie
:28:46. > :28:48.and the family. When I was little I always wanted to be Debbie McGee.
:28:49. > :28:53.Thank you to Bill for joining us today. Think Tank starts on Monday,
:28:54. > :28:57.2.15pm on BBC One. Tomorrow we will make way for Sport Relief. We will
:28:58. > :29:00.be back on Monday with David Harewood. See you then. Good night.
:29:01. > :29:03.Bye.
