17/03/2017 The One Show

Hello and welcome to the One Show with Angela Scanlon.

And bringing the fun to our Friday once again,

I see our stage is all set up for a wonderful vocal

performance tonight - I'm so excited to sing

But the good news is that our performance tonight

is from an actress and singer who has one of the greatest

She's won a Bafta, two Grammies and let's not forget - an Oscar!

We did a triplet. A trio. Trio. You didn't need my help. I feel left out

because you are both singer, in the same musical together. You did

Hairspray. I did it on the stage. Who did you play? Edna. Oh my God.

Wow. I'm motor mouth. Look at that. I know, I'm so hot. I am gorgeous.

You are gorgeous. Isn't it the best show. I had the best experience,

doing the show. And terrifying do doing it live. It was the most fun

thing preparing it but the scariest, none of us realised up until the

tail end before we got ready to go live, guys we are gambling our

careers now, if we mess it up it is over. Studio You didn't. If you

haven't seen it, check it out. A newborn baby is both

precious and fragile - but one that is born 17 weeks early

brings a whole new range Sarah Jarvis has met one mum

who refused to give up hope. This the neo-natal unit as the

Princess Anne hospital in Southampton. Huge advances have been

made in caring for babies like these, with improvement in breathing

support and nutrition, as soon as they are born. But 20 years ago, the

chances of survival for the tiniest babies was slim.

So when in 1998, Paula's baby started to be born at just 23 weeks

she was terrified. After seven previous miscarriages

she knew it was far too soon. I was feeling very scared and I thought

not again. I am going to lose another baby. They said, if the baby

takes a breath they would try to ventilate him and give him a chance.

The doctor was their clant at the time. If the picture, the baby

wasn't showing signs of wanting to breathe for itself, or had a low

heart rate, we would have allowed mum and dad to cuddle the baby by

and wait for nature to take its course. But Paula's baby did take a

breath and she named him Andrew. It was hours before I got to see him.

It was very frightening to look into the incubator and see this tiny

little baby full of wires, I put my hand in and he held my finger.

Andrew continued to fight for life. But Paula only dared to hope one day

at a time, as she told the BBC programme City Hospital. It was four

months before they would tell us he would live before they would stop

saying he is all right at the moment. If you look at the survival

rates in those days, 5%, and the vast majority wouldn't have

survived. It was really after we left the

hospital they started talking about Andrew as having a future. Soon back

in for his first check up. And drew was a happy baby but he was blind in

one eye. His lungs and heart were affected. He has a slight narrowing

of one of his heart valve, you can see a bit of indrawing of his lungs

here, of his chest. When Andrew was two he needed surgery on his heart.

How do you feel about him going back in? Scared. Sick. They will deflate

his lungs and tie off the valve in his heart. Andrew pulled through. It

was a turning point for Paula. We are getting closer, we can see light

at the end of tunnel. Do you want to speak to Andrew. These days it is

half the babies of that gestation that get into the unit and go home.

You have to say that is what we are here for.

Well, today, in Andrew's case, all that hope is fully justified. Now

18, he is aiming for the future. So archery. Yes. A bit of a passion. It

is a very bit of a passion. Would you like a go? I would love a go. It

may not seem the sport for anyone who is visually impaired but Andrew

disagrees. I would say it probably helped my eyesight. I am having to

aim at the exact target so I have to really focus mid advice, so if

anything it feels like it helps me. Olympic sport maybe? Maybe. I could

do that, give it time. I I was grateful to get Andrew to

18. He has had some hairy times in the past. There is times where we

think, he ain't going to make ate. I have him into adulthood and I can

maybe take a bit of a step back and he can take responsibility for only

some of his own life. I feel I have a whole host of opportunities. The

only thing that worries him is his eyesight. He has developed glaucoma.

A couple of years ago his eye pressure shot up so high his life

was in danger. It is a problem and a scary problem, but I don't let it

control my life. I probably see myself hopefully in an IT career,

and just try and live my life like everyone should. He survived against

the odds and that is what he intends keep doing. It keeps me going, going

that 5% chance, don't waste it. I hope he is happy R get on with his

life and just have some fun. I couldn't ask for anyone to come

band help my the through my life. It has been rather troubling, and hard,

but I, we have got through it, and if anything it has made me stronger

as a person, and I would like to say thank you and I love you.

What a lovely man, such a credit to his mother.

Hopefully we'll all get to see him in the Olympics soon!

We saw in the film there the incredible bond

David Jnr is thinking about following in your footsteps?

He is. He is a little performer, he sings, dances, he doesn't wrestle as

much like his father does, but... He thinks he has muscles now like his

dad. How old is he? Seven. He wants to be the next Michael Jackson.

Would you encourage him? Definitely. I take the same approach as my mum.

She says whatever makes you happy, as long as you're happy momma's

happy. We support him. Brilliant. Remember Me, your new single written

by Jamie Hartman who wrote Human by Rag 'n' Bone Man, which is having a

massive moment. Tell us about the song. Remember Me which Jamie and I

wrote, it came together. I have been sitting with a lot of song writer,

we wrote it a month ago but it was the perfect gelling between us, I

had woke up the night before in the middle of my sleep and I was

thinking about a friend. I thought I need to deliver this message, other

than that I won't be able to fall asleep. I did that and I was able to

go back to sleep. When I woke up he was like, Jamie said I have this

hook, to this song and then we can build from there, write the verses

and it so happened to say I know you remember me in those moments before

you sleep. And I was like, I woke right out of my sleep with the same

sentiment. So that is where it came from and it formed that song. Didn't

you have a strange recording technique? I I did. It was the

strangest recording process, because Jamie is an artist as well. So he

had me record the verses in a vault. So my head... I heard it, like a

fish bowl. It was like a black dome. He was OK, I want you to get up,

don't think I'm crazy, I am like, I won't. I want you to go in the booth

and record the add lips, it was a unique process, And you lay down. I

sat down with my head in the vault... And I recorded the verse,

like I'm sitting here right now, I sang the verses and he said get up,

and go in the booth, and record the add lips -- ad-lib, I did don't know

why but I did it. It sounds great. We will hear it later on. It is your

first song in three year, did you feel pressure, was there a lot of

anticipation when you were going to make that move? No, because I am an

an trespass, if I am not singing I am acting, if I am not doing that

I'm a spokesperson. Now is the cycle of the music, as an artist I am

anxious to get back in the music. It is a different process, like I am

sitting with musicians and we are creating the music from the piano

and Justin Lee Collins producers saying sing line for line. So this

way I get to be the. It is interesting you say you are an

actress, you didn't start thinking that. No. When you got the part of

Effie White. 800 other girls had gone up for the part. You had not

done any acting before. Never. My mum said, I think you could act.

Mum, whatever. Then I turned round and won an Oscar on my first film.

I'm like, what? You make it look easy. Oscar-winning performance.

# I am telling you #

I'm not going # You're the best man I'll ever know

# That's the -- no way I could ever go

# No, no, no. # I have never been so jealous of

someone singing a song. Thank you. With that, there, you see why you

won the Oscar, it is an extraordinary performance, it is

difficult though, to play a character, having that kind of

emotional Kath sips, and yet still to control what is coming out of

your mouth, control the voice. Yes. Is it instinctive. I am glad to hear

someone who can relate. I can't sing and cry at the same time, can you? I

remember in that moment, they rapped the chair, the extras, I was the

last thing this there. That was the last thing filmed and I was hanging

on by a wing and a prayer, my head was pounding and when you cry your

head hurts too and I was like put the emotion, all the pain you feel,

put it in the singing, I used it in the scene. They don't know what

you're crying about. So those were real tears, and although when you

see the film it is play back, but I singalong to every thing. I am

singing full out. So the bigger the notes the more my head is pounding,

the more the tears, the more my head is pounding, I am like let me go

home. The headache was worth an Oscar. Have you seen the production

here? I cannot wait to go see. Of course. Will you let everyone know

you are going? No I am going to sneak in. I cannot wait. By the time

they are going to get done singing they will hear me screaming. They

will know I am there. As a performer, I did Broadway and a lot

of the talent doesn't like to know who is in the audience, so I don't

want to interrupt their process, so I am going to sneak in. Just wear

white fur! I can't wait. We look forward to it.

It is St Patrick's Day a. I am off the booze but tonight I am going

out. I am going out. Well, in honour of St Patrick's Day we have decided

to go with an Irish monster. Cute though. Is it Daniel O'Donnell?

This is a story about a genetic experiment. That combines science

and nature to produce a creature the likes of which has never been sign

before. Yes, I think I can hear something.

Meet the world's tallest dog. The Irish wolfhound. Or the original

frankenpooch. Eddie is meeting up with other owner, over the last 30

years he has kept nearly 50 of these mighty hounds. They grow to about

34-36 inches at the shoulder. They stand over six foot tall when they

are on their hind legs. We have played a huge roll role in shaping

the wolf hound. They were large because they had to hunt Wolves and

deer, they height meant they could catch their prey, grab them by the

neck and kill them quickly. The next chapter of this story takes place in

the 1860s. I am off to meet Betty Murphy, the keeper of the archives,

accompanied by my new friend Shannon. Betty has the notebooks of

Captain George Graham. A dog breeder who came to Ireland in the aftermath

of a devastating famine when the breed was in a sorry state. What was

his role in reviving the breed if you like? He said we have to go back

to the original robust wolf hound, and he said in his own words, sadly

it can only be seen in a very few places at stage. It was almost

extinct. Graham's solution was to make a genetic intervention, using a

close cousin of the world hound. He used deerhound blood, selecting

those of good size. He saved the breed. He wrote the breed standard,

a check list of the features of the ideal world hound. Going down to the

sort of the individual feature, for example, the head, the shape of the

top line, the angulation of the forequarters of the hind quarters.

How would captain Graham's breed standard have been used? The first

place it would be used would be at dog shows. He was striving to

improve the breed and in the 20th century dogs that met the criteria

were champions. Naturally, breeders wanted to use them to create the

next generation of champion, but, there was a problem. Doctor Maura is

an ex per. She has charted the lineage of one dog that has fathered

pups round the world. There is a particular dog, he was a ram Ely

handsome hound and won a lot of shows so people wanted to use him.

But not only was he a handsome hound, he had a handsome son who was

used a lot. He also had a handsome son who was used a lot. Consequently

-- consequently that particular sire is now behind 37% of the wolf hounds

alive today. Research has revealed the effect of

this kind of inbreeding with genes causing health problems passed on

through generations rather than being weeded out by natural

selection. The main concern has been a deadly heart condition,

cardiomyopathy. But a genetic problem could have a genetic

solution. The Irish wolfhound database maps the interlinking

family trees of the world's wolfhounds. People can look at the.

'S pedigree all the way back to the 1850s. We hope readers can make good

decisions and breed long life, healthy dogs. How does Shannon

Wright on the inbreeding? We have captivated the average inbreeding

according to the population in the database. For a five generation

pedigree, the average inbreeding is 3.3 six. We can see Shannon's

inbreeding is 2.44%. The numbers sound good, but what about Shannon's

health? Today he gets his annual checkup with that Brian Jones. We

are checking for a normal heart. Normal beat, not too fast or slow.

-- with the vet. So the future is bright for these amazing and vibrant

dogs. Isn't it? Lovely kisses! Gypsy is here with us now,

she's four years old. She is massive. How do she compare

to your dogs, Jennifer? My dog is about the same size as the head!

Those are my babies. You could put a saddle on this one and head to

Cheltenham. Beautiful. I'm a dog person. We thought we would have

some fun, she comes from a very musical household. We will give you

three clues as to who the famous owners are. At home, this couple who

owned her, or always trying to style her. She is a Police dog and goes

for walks in Fields of Gold. You met this couple at the 55th Grammy

awards. Would it be staying and Trudie? -- would it be Sting and

Trudie? It is, big fans of the breed. Tomorrow night, God help us

all, the one show... Tomorrow night, God help us all,

The One Show are sending a team into battle as part of Let's Sing

and Dance for Comic Relief. With less than 24 hours to go

until their live performance, we caught up with Michelle to see

how the team is holding up. We are backstage at Let's Sing and

Dance to do a rehearsal. You found the green room, this is posh. Nice

to see you. This is a competition. Bring your A game, because it's on.

This is where the magic happens. We are ready for make-up. You have to

go, it's secret. Do I put my wig on or not? Lady Gaga

needs her space! What was that? This here is killing

me. What about my dress, it stinks! Sorry, this is a closed set. Lots of

Lady Gagas. Good luck to The One Show team

tomorrow - they'll need it. Please do tune in at 6:45 tomorrow

and give them your support. Jennifer, do you think The One Show

team have what it takes? Any tips you can give them? Live in

the moment. Feed off the crowd. You are absolutely right. You are over

here doing The Voice at the moment. Are you loving it? I love it so

much. I love music, I love being around talent and the other coaches.

It's a great experience. I came from a show like this as well. 13 years

ago. American Idle. I get to be a coach and help to call the shots!

Yeah! It gives you a unique perspective. It does because I

understand the space they are in and what it means to them. I can help

coach them in the right direction. I can prepare them for the music

industry. My money is on your team. The contestants seem to favour you.

Who's the biggest rival from the other coaches? There is always "A

problem" will stop but he knows how to compete. When will.i.am talks he

goes into outer space. He likes to trick you and things like that. And

the legend, Tom Jones, who can compete with him? Nobody. He's

amazing. With just a week until Red Nose Day,
