:00:54. > :01:01.guest had a fair few flans in his face. It is millionaire moist tro

:01:02. > :01:09.and Tiswas tyrant, Chris Tarrant. When I come here, you always drag

:01:09. > :01:14.up Tiswas. Tiswas about 50 years. Here come the buckets and the pies.

:01:14. > :01:19.We haven't had the Phantom Flan Flinger! Wasn't that the original

:01:19. > :01:24.Phantom Flan Flinger. Did you ever reveal his identity? Of course not.

:01:24. > :01:29.If you showed me, I wouldn't know. We were shocked that he is back and

:01:29. > :01:36.he is in the studio. Goodness me. Oh no! You say, "Oh no." He could

:01:36. > :01:41.fling that flan at any point. If I have got to wash my hair.

:01:41. > :01:44.We have got big news about Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. Later in

:01:53. > :02:02.road testing you lot out there. Now each night we bombard you with

:02:02. > :02:06.facts and infoe so don't let us down. Here is your question:

:02:06. > :02:16.Who Wants To Be A Millionaire is broadcast throughout the world

:02:16. > :02:19.

:02:19. > :02:21.including Uganda, but what is the I should do this for a living

:02:21. > :02:27.living! To hear the questions this close up.

:02:27. > :02:32.It is a bit tense. All you have to do is put A, B, C

:02:32. > :02:37.or D into the subject box and e- mail The One Show. Be good sports.

:02:37. > :02:42.Don't goog Google and we will see how smart you are

:02:42. > :02:48.You could phone a friend! Who wants to see Dan Snow being slapped about

:02:48. > :02:52.by proper military muscle? Yes, please!

:02:52. > :02:56.This wilderness is as remote as it is beautiful.

:02:56. > :03:01.But knees glens in the Highlands of Scotland have seen a fair bit of

:03:01. > :03:07.fighting from clashing clans to skirmishes, there is a long history

:03:07. > :03:13.of guerrilla warfare. It was a hotbed of fighting 70 years ago

:03:13. > :03:23.when an elite unit of men hidden from prying eyes came here to take

:03:23. > :03:27.on the might and it became known as Castle Commando and and Achnacarry

:03:27. > :03:32.became one of the toughest training grounds. Churchill wanted to create

:03:32. > :03:37.an elite fighting force to unnerve the Nazis.

:03:37. > :03:43.Do you want to have a really good crack at enemy? Here is your chance.

:03:43. > :03:48.He called these shock troops, Commandos. They had one mission, to

:03:48. > :03:53.carry out daring raids in German held territory. Here they are,

:03:53. > :03:57.filmed at Achnacarry with its remote location and rough terrain,

:03:57. > :04:02.it was the perfect training ground. Brace-up, chests out.

:04:02. > :04:09.The current crop of Commandos come here every year to train, but I'm

:04:09. > :04:16.going to see if I can hack it. I will be taking you through Royal

:04:16. > :04:22.Marines close combat. How to tackle a bloke with your

:04:22. > :04:28.bare hands. Knock him out. Spoil his prospects and pinch his weapon.

:04:28. > :04:36.20,000 men passed through Achnacarry between 1942 and 1946

:04:36. > :04:43.and they were taught basics which remains the same today.

:04:43. > :04:46.Pull them in nice and close. Bang. Scape and I'm up.

:04:46. > :04:49.I prefer doing my research in the library!

:04:49. > :04:54.It is incredible to think that you are training people in 2012 with

:04:54. > :04:59.methods that were pioneered during the Second World War? The old

:04:59. > :05:03.school method was try it if it hurts you, it hurts everyone else.

:05:03. > :05:08.It is a lot of the old methods and things have been added to it.

:05:08. > :05:11.For the recruits in 1942, there was no time to settle in. As soon as

:05:11. > :05:14.the the volunteers got off the train, they had to complete a 13

:05:14. > :05:20.kilometre march with all their equipment.

:05:20. > :05:26.Left, right. Left, right. Back in the day, the lads used to

:05:26. > :05:32.speed march up to Castle Commando and if they didn't make it within

:05:32. > :05:35.the time, they were turned back. It is simple. You can wheedle out

:05:35. > :05:41.people who weren't up to it. Six weeks was the deadline to

:05:41. > :05:46.produce the finest fighting soldier. But the fail rate was high. Only

:05:46. > :05:51.half of those who started out would get to wear the green beret.

:05:51. > :05:58.We have got a great affinity with the commandos and we are proud that

:05:58. > :06:07.they feel that Achnacarry is a spiritual home for them.

:06:07. > :06:11.The Cameron clan willingly gave up their castle. They burned the wood

:06:11. > :06:19.of the house. They burned three days and three nights. There was a

:06:19. > :06:25.lot of of unexploded ammunition. People were killed here in training

:06:25. > :06:30.exercises? Yes. Training may have seemed extreme.

:06:30. > :06:36.But putting the the commandos in these tough situations was the best

:06:36. > :06:40.preparation for what lay ahead. Stan Scott was one of the first

:06:40. > :06:43.Commandos to pass out of Achnacarry. We had people go down. We had

:06:43. > :06:48.people falling out of the trees and falling in the river nearly

:06:48. > :06:53.drowning and people going down with gunshot wounds. Daylight was a

:06:53. > :06:57.piece of cake at Achnacarry. Commandos have served all over the

:06:57. > :07:03.world from the Artic Circle to South East Asia, but they learned

:07:03. > :07:13.their lethal skills here in the Highlands. It took 42 days at

:07:13. > :07:17.

:07:17. > :07:22.Achnacarry to make a Commando and Dan, you looked amazing in that

:07:22. > :07:28.uniform. But we are let down. You were a wreck by the end. What has

:07:28. > :07:32.happened to you? They through me around like a bit of wet spaghetti.

:07:32. > :07:36.It was embarrassing. You have turned into a big baby.

:07:36. > :07:41.It is not easy easy when you are interviewing.

:07:41. > :07:46.There were fa fatalities during the training, but these guys were using

:07:47. > :07:51.live ammunition. The Commandos were taking part in

:07:51. > :07:54.exercises, and people were firing live ammunition, and firing smoke

:07:54. > :07:57.shells. You can see the pictures, they would be paddling to shorement

:07:57. > :08:00.they tried to simulate battle conditions. Look at the tracer

:08:00. > :08:05.going over their heads and people were killed and wounded, but the

:08:05. > :08:07.key thing was to get them to a state where they could take on the

:08:07. > :08:12.enemy. And that was just the training.

:08:12. > :08:18.What was Their biggest achievements? The Commandos, the

:08:18. > :08:23.famous raid which was a disaster. It was an attack in Northern France.

:08:23. > :08:28.The Canadians who went in after them got cut to shreds and it was

:08:28. > :08:35.seen as a setback, but lessons were learned and when D-Day came along

:08:35. > :08:42.in June 1944, the command owes were in action again and the training

:08:43. > :08:51.was put into track tis. -- practise. They performed very well at D-Day.

:08:51. > :08:57.You have a manual and it is still used, isn't it? This is a guide by

:08:57. > :09:01.by William Fairbairn. It is still in print and it is still used. If

:09:01. > :09:05.your elbows and your wrists bend in the same way, we haven't changed.

:09:05. > :09:09.This is part of their training. It is exciting and they go back to the

:09:09. > :09:13.old veterans and ask them questions. It is amazing.

:09:13. > :09:22.You should have a look at that, there is a chapter called Back

:09:22. > :09:25.Break. Why do I want to look at that? You always do Tiswas and try

:09:26. > :09:30.and kill me! We are going to phone a friend or a

:09:30. > :09:36.few. Who have you brought in, Dan? We have a sergeant from the Royal

:09:36. > :09:41.Marines and he is an expert. The demonstration has been tapered

:09:41. > :09:44.down. The guys won't be armed with rifles or side arms. However, the

:09:44. > :09:49.demonstration that you're going to see is a typical scenario in an

:09:49. > :09:52.enclosed space where the Marine could be on boarding operations for

:09:52. > :09:56.the Horn of Africa or the Middle East or the commitment that we've

:09:56. > :10:00.got to Afghanistan where guys are regularly clearing through

:10:00. > :10:03.compounds and finding themselves close with the enemy.

:10:03. > :10:06.close with the enemy. As you can see now, the Royal

:10:06. > :10:11.Marine Commando has taken down the assillant with the weapon system.

:10:11. > :10:19.He has disarmed the weapon system. Because there is a threat to life,

:10:19. > :10:25.he has chosed to use -- -- chosen to use a lethal technique. He can

:10:25. > :10:29.wait for follow on troops to come in and take this guy away for

:10:29. > :10:36.questioning and we can exploit intelligence for him. This is the

:10:36. > :10:42.thing we expect each Marine to be capable of achieving and working in

:10:42. > :10:48.To do this. Shall I come over and have a go?

:10:48. > :10:53.Right, be gentle now. I'm going ask Dan to move into this area here.

:10:53. > :10:57.We're going to do it initially standing and we're going to move on

:10:57. > :11:03.to the floor where it will be employed. I'm going to take charge

:11:03. > :11:08.of Dan's hand. Not supporting the wrist and force that that pinky up

:11:08. > :11:12.towards the elbow. He is tapping there now. This is to signify that

:11:12. > :11:16.he is in pain and if I continue to push, I would snap the limb. This

:11:16. > :11:22.is where it would be employed. Initially start in the standing

:11:22. > :11:29.position and we can watch you take The ground.

:11:29. > :11:36.You reckon I can do it? Come at me, go on.

:11:36. > :11:40.Knock him out, spoil his prospects. Down you go!

:11:40. > :11:44.Realistically, the Royal Marine Commando would come in and take

:11:44. > :11:49.charge of him. Are you all right? Brilliant.

:11:49. > :11:58.I'm armed! Don't mess with me. Not easy in high heels as any

:11:58. > :12:01.Not easy in high heels as any Marine will tell you!

:12:01. > :12:04.LAUGHTER Chris, you were involved this this

:12:04. > :12:08.documentary, War Hero In My Family, weren't you? It was very raw.

:12:08. > :12:11.You knew your dad had won the Military Cross, but is it right

:12:11. > :12:15.that you didn't know how? Not a clue. He didn't talk about stuff.

:12:15. > :12:20.It is a generational thing. I grew up after the war and as I got older

:12:20. > :12:27.my house was full of ex-soldiers. All the ones who were giving that,

:12:27. > :12:33.ah, home fit for heroes, they had never been anywhere more more

:12:33. > :12:41.dangerous like Bournemouth, the ones like my dad, they never ever

:12:41. > :12:46.said a word. It was only with me when Toby my son was old enough to

:12:46. > :12:49.say say, "Grandpa, what did you do in the war?" We fished together and

:12:49. > :12:55.talked about everything and only at that point did he start saying a

:12:55. > :12:58.few things to Toby. I said, "You never told me that." He said, "You

:12:58. > :13:01.were never interested." I learned a lot about my father.

:13:01. > :13:06.Let's look at moment when you are you are listening back to an

:13:06. > :13:09.interview that he did. I crawled forward with one

:13:09. > :13:19.volunteer to approach a set of buildings. No problem at all. We

:13:19. > :13:20.

:13:20. > :13:29.shot it up. We came back home. No casualties. End of story.

:13:29. > :13:37.I haven't heard his voice since the day he died.

:13:37. > :13:47.And that's really hard. He would hate me to do this, but I

:13:47. > :13:51.miss him so much.. Ah, Chris. It was awful, it was the first time

:13:51. > :13:55.I heard his voice since he died. It really beat me up.

:13:55. > :14:00.I don't think any of us have seen you in that state before.

:14:00. > :14:08.I don't really cry, but it really got through to me. One of the great

:14:08. > :14:13.sadnesses is my sum hung on and hung on and hung on and she died

:14:13. > :14:17.about a week before it went out, but it is life.

:14:17. > :14:21.He was your best friend, so what what difference would it have made

:14:21. > :14:26.if he told you all those things when he was alive? I would have

:14:26. > :14:31.loved him more. Some of the things I found out. He became a soldier,

:14:31. > :14:36.but he hadn't signed up to become a soldier. He was thrown into the

:14:36. > :14:40.deep end in 1939 and went to Dunkirk and came back and went to

:14:40. > :14:50.D-Day. He was a major in the infantry. The mortality among

:14:50. > :14:51.

:14:51. > :14:57.They wiped out the Germans, he brought the English guys back alive.

:14:57. > :15:01.He got the Military Cross. I thought they stood there with

:15:01. > :15:05.popguns other side of the field, but a lot of the stuff I found out

:15:05. > :15:08.was really savage, going into buildings, house-to-house, snipers

:15:08. > :15:13.on the roof, Germans behind the doors, bayonets, it was really

:15:13. > :15:19.scary. You don't like to think about your father killing other

:15:19. > :15:23.people. Just to survive, right through the war. Do you think maybe

:15:23. > :15:26.that's why he didn't tell you about it, because he didn't want you to

:15:26. > :15:30.think like that? It is a generation thing. They just put it away. The

:15:30. > :15:36.only time people talked about counselling and therapy really

:15:36. > :15:39.started in Vietnam. You think, what these guys, my dad did not have

:15:39. > :15:45.nightmares, he was an amazing, articulate, funny guy. He did not

:15:45. > :15:49.have nightmares. I don't think his mates did. I told my mum, my late

:15:49. > :15:55.mum, and she said I had no idea. She did not know. He did not tell

:15:55. > :16:00.my mum either. You are writing a book? I want to put it down while

:16:00. > :16:04.it is in my head and the kids want me to write it. We will publish it.

:16:04. > :16:09.It is a huge labour of love. thanks. We're on to gardening now.

:16:09. > :16:13.Of course we are. Gardeners plant, in their back gardens, it is for

:16:13. > :16:18.their enjoyment, but what they plant in front Gardner's is for all

:16:18. > :16:25.of us to enjoy. Go on, give it some welly, Christine.

:16:25. > :16:30.Spring has now well and truly sprung, spurred on by all the rain.

:16:30. > :16:37.It is now the turn of the late spring shower shrubs. I'm in the St

:16:37. > :16:44.Albans area trying to find some of those beautiful front garden plants

:16:44. > :16:51.in bloom. Many gardeners used these glorious shrubs almost like hedges,

:16:51. > :16:55.sharing a blast of colour with passes by. -- passers by. Lovely

:16:55. > :17:03.arching stems of this shrub, spilling the sunshine on to the

:17:03. > :17:07.ground, a big plant, ten ft by ten ft eventually. What a beauty. The

:17:07. > :17:11.spring rain has been helpful to azaleas and rhododendrons. Some of

:17:11. > :17:21.the brightest flowers at this time of the year. They shine even on the

:17:21. > :17:23.

:17:23. > :17:33.dullest days. Oh, look at that! What a lovely combination. Now they

:17:33. > :17:37.

:17:37. > :17:41.are just begging for closer Look at this explosive burst of

:17:41. > :17:47.colour, and rhododendron, a beautiful rhododendron, not only

:17:47. > :17:52.grown for its spectacular golden- yellow flowers the most incredible,

:17:52. > :17:56.heady scent. It's literally a knockout. As a story that goes on

:17:56. > :18:01.the passing Turkey, the Turkish army were sleeping underneath the

:18:01. > :18:08.this and it sent them into a deep sleep. The Russian army came over

:18:08. > :18:16.and slit their throats. A fantastic story associated with this plan.

:18:16. > :18:22.That sent his heavy and to contrast it with this spectacular Acer, a

:18:22. > :18:27.fine, delicate foliage contrast it with the bald blobs of colour. What

:18:27. > :18:34.a lovely combination of colour, texture and habit, two front garden

:18:34. > :18:38.stars for the price of one. Rhododendrons and acers generally

:18:38. > :18:44.prefer acid soils. You can find out whether or not your soil is

:18:44. > :18:49.suitable with a P.H. Testing kit, like this. Just a few quid from

:18:49. > :18:52.your local garden centre. Soil pH not only dictates what you can grow

:18:52. > :18:58.but also the colour of certain flowers. A pink flowering hydrangea

:18:58. > :19:02.in alkaline soil can be turned blue. Some gardeners are very rusty nails

:19:02. > :19:09.near the routes to acidify the soil, but it's much simpler to reduce the

:19:10. > :19:14.soil pH by adding aluminium sulphate. The real jewel in the

:19:14. > :19:21.crown of Sharow -- of Acholi shrubs is another with intense blue

:19:21. > :19:27.flowers, it is glorious in the late spring and what a specimen this is.

:19:27. > :19:33.It is a real softie. I wonder if its owner has been pampering it.

:19:33. > :19:37.This is a North American plant and it can be subjected to Frosts, so

:19:37. > :19:41.do you ever coverage or protected? The know, nothing. I think it

:19:41. > :19:45.protects other people more than be protected. How long has it been in?

:19:45. > :19:49.I planted about ten years ago, so not really long. How have you

:19:49. > :19:54.managed to get it looking so beautiful? To be honest I haven't

:19:54. > :19:58.done a lot. I've never watered it. It's been a very good position, I

:19:58. > :20:03.think. Does it always flower this well? Yes, every year. It's

:20:03. > :20:08.marvellous. Now, you obviously adored as planned but what about

:20:08. > :20:12.passers-by? A lot of people stop and look at it and I've seen people

:20:12. > :20:16.take photographs of it. I'm not surprised, actually. And they

:20:16. > :20:23.shelter under it. Very wise. Sometimes it hangs over the

:20:23. > :20:29.pavement a bit and we have to chop it back a bit. Let them walk into

:20:29. > :20:36.it, beauty like that. This is what a front garden start is all about,

:20:36. > :20:40.gardeners planting their pride and joy, hanging on the pavement for us

:20:40. > :20:45.all to appreciate. Isn't that great? She was in her

:20:45. > :20:49.element, was she? She is continuing with her travels, so if you see her

:20:49. > :20:53.on your drive, don't worry, she's just looking at the plants. She is

:20:53. > :20:58.not trespassing. Are you green- fingered, Chris Tarrant? I have a

:20:58. > :21:01.lovely place in Berkshire and I love gardening. I have a man who

:21:01. > :21:06.does it, have to say. Amid suggestions and he says comedy it

:21:06. > :21:10.will die if you put it there and I say, OK, but it somewhere else.

:21:10. > :21:13.you love it? I love the countryside and having a garden. We need to

:21:13. > :21:16.talk about Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?. You have been doing

:21:16. > :21:22.celebrity versions, celebrities with their other halves. How has it

:21:22. > :21:30.been? I am like everyone else, I am nosey. I like watching Eamonn and

:21:30. > :21:35.his wife. She was dreading it. And Paddy, in fairness, there is Eamonn

:21:36. > :21:41.and his long-suffering wife. They squabbled and had fights, James

:21:41. > :21:46.Hunt his wife, Beverley. You sit back then let it happen. They want

:21:46. > :21:49.to do the show for you. It is tough on celebrities, it is tough. It is

:21:50. > :21:52.harder because in the end they are not going to win anything. The

:21:52. > :21:56.money goes to charity, half goes to the audience or whatever, but for

:21:56. > :22:00.them, there is a chance it will look really embarrassing. I can't

:22:00. > :22:05.mention anybody in particular, but Chris Evans. I knew you would say

:22:51. > :22:55.their lives and it still will. There are stories all over the

:22:55. > :23:02.world, I love the one about John Carpenter in the West who ran his

:23:35. > :23:40.Tonight, we are road-testing, so you lot out there are going to do

:23:40. > :23:50.your thing for Chris. We asked you a question earlier. What is the

:23:50. > :23:53.

:23:53. > :23:58.The most popular answer from our viewers was B -- Shilling. About

:23:58. > :24:05.70% of you said that. They are very intelligent viewers. I never said

:24:05. > :24:09.they were not. What is the correct answer? If you said a, you would

:24:09. > :24:13.have got it wrong. If you had see, you would have got it wrong. If you

:24:13. > :24:19.said Deeo, you would have got it wrong, 70% of your audience are

:24:19. > :24:26.right, it is the shilling. massive round of applause. You had

:24:26. > :24:30.better hope there are One Show viewers watching your show. I was

:24:30. > :24:35.just being unkind. Celebrity Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? Is on

:24:35. > :24:38.ITV won this Sunday at 7pm. My man Friday, Chris Evans, recently had a

:24:38. > :24:43.cancer scare, something that his father and his two uncles actually

:24:43. > :24:48.died from. Chris wanted to find out why many men completely missed the

:24:48. > :24:54.symptoms for one particular cancer that is potentially treatable if

:24:54. > :24:58.caught in time. There are 40,000 new cases a year,

:24:58. > :25:03.the second biggest cancer killer in the UK and it is something not

:25:03. > :25:08.usually discussed on teatime television, so what is it? Bowel

:25:08. > :25:15.cancer and it is entirely treatable, Batty's, entirely treatable, if it

:25:15. > :25:19.is caught early enough and that is about early diagnosis. The tragedy

:25:19. > :25:24.of this disease is that when the symptoms are caught too late the

:25:24. > :25:28.survivability rate drops to less than 10%. That is how my dad died

:25:28. > :25:35.and both of his brothers as well, my uncles. Yet what killed all

:25:35. > :25:40.three of them was cut out of May last year in just 11 seconds. --

:25:40. > :25:44.cut from me. What are the symptoms? The symptoms you should look out

:25:44. > :25:50.for are bleeding, if you see any blood coming from your bottom, a

:25:50. > :25:55.change of bowel habits, if you're pulled -- if your pool is looser or

:25:55. > :26:01.if you are alternating between diarrhoea and constipation, or if

:26:01. > :26:04.you have a lump in your abdomen. Go and see your GP. Your doctor will

:26:04. > :26:09.refer you to a specialist for investigation using a simple and

:26:09. > :26:13.painless procedure. It is a colonoscopy. This camera is like my

:26:13. > :26:18.friend, it is like a bike -- Blind Date. I was nervous on our first

:26:18. > :26:23.meeting but it could have saved my life, I love this camera. It is a

:26:23. > :26:28.thin, flexible tube that goes into the bottom end. If we see anything

:26:29. > :26:33.abnormal we can take tissue samples or remove the Pollitt at the time,

:26:33. > :26:38.passing the instrument out at the end of the scope. This one knows me

:26:38. > :26:40.into Mutley and it is nowhere near as bad as you sink and the local

:26:40. > :26:45.anaesthetic makes it quite enjoyable. -- it knows me

:26:45. > :26:50.intimitely. Reverend Barras Ben Brown has had his procedure and I'm

:26:50. > :26:55.keen to find out how he got on. You have been in for a colonoscopy?

:26:55. > :26:59.they have checked up through the RIA passage with a camera. They

:26:59. > :27:03.found one problem and they were able to deal with it. Now men,

:27:03. > :27:07.myself included are notoriously reticent -- reticent to do anything

:27:07. > :27:11.about health issues but the cancer treatment does not get easier than

:27:11. > :27:16.this, does it? It is a very simple procedure. People panicked too much

:27:16. > :27:20.on cancer. They should realise it can be healed today. Don't hesitate.

:27:20. > :27:24.It is something that doesn't take all that much time out of your day

:27:24. > :27:27.and it can save your life at will stop the colonoscopy is fantastic

:27:27. > :27:32.because it is able to both fined and remove these precancerous

:27:32. > :27:35.problems. There is now a National Screening Programme to detect early

:27:35. > :27:39.signs of bowel cancer that can be done in the privacy of your own

:27:39. > :27:42.home. The national screening process could not be easier. If you

:27:42. > :27:48.are having your dinner, you may want to look away now because we're

:27:48. > :27:53.going to give it a go. You will get one of these test kits every two

:27:53. > :27:58.years. You need to collect some pill. This is not real poo?

:27:58. > :28:05.this is one we prepared earlier. Chocolate spread with what? Cereal,

:28:05. > :28:10.fibrous serial. Take your first bit of cardboard kit, take a little bit

:28:10. > :28:15.of stool sample that is in there and basically you need to smear it

:28:15. > :28:23.on this. What is this for? That is the next one. Take it from the

:28:23. > :28:28.other end of your stool, Duc two from one stool. Perfect, pop it

:28:28. > :28:32.into the post and that is it. No expense to you at all other than

:28:32. > :28:37.smearing your stool on cardboard. They are trying to save your life,

:28:37. > :28:40.for free, who wouldn't want a bit of that? That is the story at St

:28:40. > :28:44.Mark's, lots of clever people trying to help you help yourself

:28:44. > :28:50.but the key is so many times, the sooner you get checked, the more

:28:50. > :28:54.chance you have of surviving son nasties.

:28:54. > :28:57.Thanks, Chris, we have put a list of who is eligible for the National

:28:57. > :29:02.Screening Programme on our website. That is all we have time for
