Phantom Flan Flinger. The Phantom Flan Flinger oh no, there go the | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
custard pies. Oh, this is disgraceful. These people have come | :00:25. | :00:29. | |

up Tiswas. Tiswas about 50 years. Here come the buckets and the pies. | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
We haven't had the Phantom Flan Flinger! Wasn't that the original | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
Phantom Flan Flinger. Did you ever reveal his identity? Of course not. | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
If you showed me, I wouldn't know. We were shocked that he is back and | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
he is in the studio. Goodness me. Oh no! You say, "Oh no." He could | :01:29. | :01:36. | |
fling that flan at any point. If I have got to wash my hair. | :01:36. | :01:41. | |

This wilderness is as remote as it is beautiful. | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
But knees glens in the Highlands of Scotland have seen a fair bit of | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
fighting from clashing clans to skirmishes, there is a long history | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
of guerrilla warfare. It was a hotbed of fighting 70 years ago | :03:07. | :03:13. | |
when an elite unit of men hidden from prying eyes came here to take | :03:13. | :03:23. | |
on the might and it became known as Castle Commando and and Achnacarry | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
became one of the toughest training grounds. Churchill wanted to create | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
an elite fighting force to unnerve the Nazis. | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
Do you want to have a really good crack at enemy? Here is your chance. | :03:37. | :03:43. | |
He called these shock troops, Commandos. They had one mission, to | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
carry out daring raids in German held territory. Here they are, | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
filmed at Achnacarry with its remote location and rough terrain, | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
it was the perfect training ground. Brace-up, chests out. | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
The current crop of Commandos come here every year to train, but I'm | :04:02. | :04:09. | |
going to see if I can hack it. I will be taking you through Royal | :04:09. | :04:16. | |
Marines close combat. How to tackle a bloke with your | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
bare hands. Knock him out. Spoil his prospects and pinch his weapon. | :04:22. | :04:28. | |
20,000 men passed through Achnacarry between 1942 and 1946 | :04:28. | :04:36. | |
and they were taught basics which remains the same today. | :04:36. | :04:43. | |
Pull them in nice and close. Bang. Scape and I'm up. | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
I prefer doing my research in the library! | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
It is incredible to think that you are training people in 2012 with | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
methods that were pioneered during the Second World War? The old | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
school method was try it if it hurts you, it hurts everyone else. | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
It is a lot of the old methods and things have been added to it. | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
For the recruits in 1942, there was no time to settle in. As soon as | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
the the volunteers got off the train, they had to complete a 13 | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
kilometre march with all their equipment. | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
Left, right. Left, right. Back in the day, the lads used to | :05:20. | :05:26. | |
speed march up to Castle Commando and if they didn't make it within | :05:26. | :05:32. | |
the time, they were turned back. It is simple. You can wheedle out | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
people who weren't up to it. Six weeks was the deadline to | :05:35. | :05:41. | |
produce the finest fighting soldier. But the fail rate was high. Only | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
half of those who started out would get to wear the green beret. | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
We have got a great affinity with the commandos and we are proud that | :05:51. | :05:58. | |
they feel that Achnacarry is a spiritual home for them. | :05:58. | :06:07. | |
The Cameron clan willingly gave up their castle. They burned the wood | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
of the house. They burned three days and three nights. There was a | :06:11. | :06:19. | |
lot of of unexploded ammunition. People were killed here in training | :06:19. | :06:25. | |
exercises? Yes. Training may have seemed extreme. | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
But putting the the commandos in these tough situations was the best | :06:30. | :06:36. | |
preparation for what lay ahead. Stan Scott was one of the first | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
Commandos to pass out of Achnacarry. We had people go down. We had | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
people falling out of the trees and falling in the river nearly | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
drowning and people going down with gunshot wounds. Daylight was a | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
piece of cake at Achnacarry. Commandos have served all over the | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
world from the Artic Circle to South East Asia, but they learned | :06:57. | :07:03. | |
their lethal skills here in the Highlands. It took 42 days at | :07:03. | :07:13. | |
:07:13. | :07:17. | ||
Achnacarry to make a Commando and Dan, you looked amazing in that | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
uniform. But we are let down. You were a wreck by the end. What has | :07:22. | :07:28. | |
happened to you? They through me around like a bit of wet spaghetti. | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
It was embarrassing. You have turned into a big baby. | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
It is not easy easy when you are interviewing. | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
There were fa fatalities during the training, but these guys were using | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
live ammunition. The Commandos were taking part in | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
exercises, and people were firing live ammunition, and firing smoke | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
shells. You can see the pictures, they would be paddling to shorement | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
they tried to simulate battle conditions. Look at the tracer | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
going over their heads and people were killed and wounded, but the | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
key thing was to get them to a state where they could take on the | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
enemy. And that was just the training. | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
What was Their biggest achievements? The Commandos, the | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
famous raid which was a disaster. It was an attack in Northern France. | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
The Canadians who went in after them got cut to shreds and it was | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
seen as a setback, but lessons were learned and when D-Day came along | :08:28. | :08:35. | |
in June 1944, the command owes were in action again and the training | :08:35. | :08:42. | |
was put into track tis. -- practise. They performed very well at D-Day. | :08:43. | :08:51. | |
You have a manual and it is still used, isn't it? This is a guide by | :08:51. | :08:57. | |
by William Fairbairn. It is still in print and it is still used. If | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
your elbows and your wrists bend in the same way, we haven't changed. | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
This is part of their training. It is exciting and they go back to the | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
old veterans and ask them questions. It is amazing. | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
You should have a look at that, there is a chapter called Back | :09:13. | :09:22. | |
Break. Why do I want to look at that? You always do Tiswas and try | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
and kill me! We are going to phone a friend or a | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
few. Who have you brought in, Dan? We have a sergeant from the Royal | :09:30. | :09:36. | |
Marines and he is an expert. The demonstration has been tapered | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
down. The guys won't be armed with rifles or side arms. However, the | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
demonstration that you're going to see is a typical scenario in an | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
enclosed space where the Marine could be on boarding operations for | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
the Horn of Africa or the Middle East or the commitment that we've | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
got to Afghanistan where guys are regularly clearing through | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
compounds and finding themselves close with the enemy. | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
close with the enemy. As you can see now, the Royal | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
Marine Commando has taken down the assillant with the weapon system. | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
He has disarmed the weapon system. Because there is a threat to life, | :10:11. | :10:19. | |
he has chosed to use -- -- chosen to use a lethal technique. He can | :10:19. | :10:25. | |
wait for follow on troops to come in and take this guy away for | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
questioning and we can exploit intelligence for him. This is the | :10:29. | :10:36. | |
thing we expect each Marine to be capable of achieving and working in | :10:36. | :10:42. | |
To do this. Shall I come over and have a go? | :10:42. | :10:48. | |
Right, be gentle now. I'm going ask Dan to move into this area here. | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
We're going to do it initially standing and we're going to move on | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
to the floor where it will be employed. I'm going to take charge | :10:57. | :11:03. | |
of Dan's hand. Not supporting the wrist and force that that pinky up | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
towards the elbow. He is tapping there now. This is to signify that | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
he is in pain and if I continue to push, I would snap the limb. This | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
is where it would be employed. Initially start in the standing | :11:16. | :11:22. | |
position and we can watch you take The ground. | :11:22. | :11:29. | |
You reckon I can do it? Come at me, go on. | :11:29. | :11:36. | |
Knock him out, spoil his prospects. Down you go! | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
Realistically, the Royal Marine Commando would come in and take | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
charge of him. Are you all right? Brilliant. | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
I'm armed! Don't mess with me. Not easy in high heels as any | :11:49. | :11:58. | |
Not easy in high heels as any Marine will tell you! | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
LAUGHTER Chris, you were involved this this | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
documentary, War Hero In My Family, weren't you? It was very raw. | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
You knew your dad had won the Military Cross, but is it right | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
that you didn't know how? Not a clue. He didn't talk about stuff. | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
It is a generational thing. I grew up after the war and as I got older | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
my house was full of ex-soldiers. All the ones who were giving that, | :12:20. | :12:27. | |
ah, home fit for heroes, they had never been anywhere more more | :12:27. | :12:33. | |
dangerous like Bournemouth, the ones like my dad, they never ever | :12:33. | :12:41. | |
said a word. It was only with me when Toby my son was old enough to | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
say say, "Grandpa, what did you do in the war?" We fished together and | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
talked about everything and only at that point did he start saying a | :12:49. | :12:55. | |
few things to Toby. I said, "You never told me that." He said, "You | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
were never interested." I learned a lot about my father. | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
Let's look at moment when you are you are listening back to an | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
interview that he did. I crawled forward with one | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
volunteer to approach a set of buildings. No problem at all. We | :13:09. | :13:19. | |
:13:19. | :13:20. | ||
shot it up. We came back home. No casualties. End of story. | :13:20. | :13:29. | |
I haven't heard his voice since the day he died. | :13:29. | :13:37. | |
And that's really hard. He would hate me to do this, but I | :13:37. | :13:47. | |
miss him so much.. Ah, Chris. It was awful, it was the first time | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
I heard his voice since he died. It really beat me up. | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
I don't think any of us have seen you in that state before. | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
I don't really cry, but it really got through to me. One of the great | :14:00. | :14:08. | |
sadnesses is my sum hung on and hung on and hung on and she died | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
about a week before it went out, but it is life. | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
He was your best friend, so what what difference would it have made | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
if he told you all those things when he was alive? I would have | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
loved him more. Some of the things I found out. He became a soldier, | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
but he hadn't signed up to become a soldier. He was thrown into the | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
deep end in 1939 and went to Dunkirk and came back and went to | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
D-Day. He was a major in the infantry. The mortality among | :14:40. | :14:50. | |
:14:50. | :14:51. | ||
They wiped out the Germans, he brought the English guys back alive. | :14:51. | :14:57. | |
He got the Military Cross. I thought they stood there with | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
popguns other side of the field, but a lot of the stuff I found out | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
was really savage, going into buildings, house-to-house, snipers | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
on the roof, Germans behind the doors, bayonets, it was really | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
scary. You don't like to think about your father killing other | :15:13. | :15:19. | |
people. Just to survive, right through the war. Do you think maybe | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
that's why he didn't tell you about it, because he didn't want you to | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
think like that? It is a generation thing. They just put it away. The | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
only time people talked about counselling and therapy really | :15:30. | :15:36. | |
started in Vietnam. You think, what these guys, my dad did not have | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
nightmares, he was an amazing, articulate, funny guy. He did not | :15:39. | :15:45. | |
have nightmares. I don't think his mates did. I told my mum, my late | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
mum, and she said I had no idea. She did not know. He did not tell | :15:49. | :15:55. | |
my mum either. You are writing a book? I want to put it down while | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
it is in my head and the kids want me to write it. We will publish it. | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
It is a huge labour of love. thanks. We're on to gardening now. | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
Of course we are. Gardeners plant, in their back gardens, it is for | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
their enjoyment, but what they plant in front Gardner's is for all | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
of us to enjoy. Go on, give it some welly, Christine. | :16:18. | :16:25. | |
Spring has now well and truly sprung, spurred on by all the rain. | :16:25. | :16:30. | |
It is now the turn of the late spring shower shrubs. I'm in the St | :16:30. | :16:37. | |
Albans area trying to find some of those beautiful front garden plants | :16:37. | :16:44. | |
in bloom. Many gardeners used these glorious shrubs almost like hedges, | :16:44. | :16:51. | |
sharing a blast of colour with passes by. -- passers by. Lovely | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
arching stems of this shrub, spilling the sunshine on to the | :16:55. | :17:03. | |
ground, a big plant, ten ft by ten ft eventually. What a beauty. The | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
spring rain has been helpful to azaleas and rhododendrons. Some of | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
the brightest flowers at this time of the year. They shine even on the | :17:11. | :17:21. | |
:17:21. | :17:23. | ||
dullest days. Oh, look at that! What a lovely combination. Now they | :17:23. | :17:33. | |
:17:33. | :17:37. | ||
are just begging for closer Look at this explosive burst of | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
colour, and rhododendron, a beautiful rhododendron, not only | :17:41. | :17:47. | |
grown for its spectacular golden- yellow flowers the most incredible, | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
heady scent. It's literally a knockout. As a story that goes on | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
the passing Turkey, the Turkish army were sleeping underneath the | :17:56. | :18:01. | |
this and it sent them into a deep sleep. The Russian army came over | :18:01. | :18:08. | |
and slit their throats. A fantastic story associated with this plan. | :18:08. | :18:16. | |
That sent his heavy and to contrast it with this spectacular Acer, a | :18:16. | :18:22. | |
fine, delicate foliage contrast it with the bald blobs of colour. What | :18:22. | :18:27. | |
a lovely combination of colour, texture and habit, two front garden | :18:27. | :18:34. | |
stars for the price of one. Rhododendrons and acers generally | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
prefer acid soils. You can find out whether or not your soil is | :18:38. | :18:44. | |
suitable with a P.H. Testing kit, like this. Just a few quid from | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
your local garden centre. Soil pH not only dictates what you can grow | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
but also the colour of certain flowers. A pink flowering hydrangea | :18:52. | :18:58. | |
in alkaline soil can be turned blue. Some gardeners are very rusty nails | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
near the routes to acidify the soil, but it's much simpler to reduce the | :19:02. | :19:09. | |
soil pH by adding aluminium sulphate. The real jewel in the | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
crown of Sharow -- of Acholi shrubs is another with intense blue | :19:14. | :19:21. | |
flowers, it is glorious in the late spring and what a specimen this is. | :19:21. | :19:27. | |
It is a real softie. I wonder if its owner has been pampering it. | :19:27. | :19:33. | |
This is a North American plant and it can be subjected to Frosts, so | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
do you ever coverage or protected? The know, nothing. I think it | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
protects other people more than be protected. How long has it been in? | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
I planted about ten years ago, so not really long. How have you | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
managed to get it looking so beautiful? To be honest I haven't | :19:49. | :19:54. | |
done a lot. I've never watered it. It's been a very good position, I | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
think. Does it always flower this well? Yes, every year. It's | :19:58. | :20:03. | |
marvellous. Now, you obviously adored as planned but what about | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
passers-by? A lot of people stop and look at it and I've seen people | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
take photographs of it. I'm not surprised, actually. And they | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
shelter under it. Very wise. Sometimes it hangs over the | :20:16. | :20:23. | |
pavement a bit and we have to chop it back a bit. Let them walk into | :20:23. | :20:29. | |
it, beauty like that. This is what a front garden start is all about, | :20:29. | :20:36. | |
gardeners planting their pride and joy, hanging on the pavement for us | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
all to appreciate. Isn't that great? She was in her | :20:40. | :20:45. | |
element, was she? She is continuing with her travels, so if you see her | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
on your drive, don't worry, she's just looking at the plants. She is | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
not trespassing. Are you green- fingered, Chris Tarrant? I have a | :20:53. | :20:58. | |
lovely place in Berkshire and I love gardening. I have a man who | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
does it, have to say. Amid suggestions and he says comedy it | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
will die if you put it there and I say, OK, but it somewhere else. | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
you love it? I love the countryside and having a garden. We need to | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
talk about Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?. You have been doing | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
celebrity versions, celebrities with their other halves. How has it | :21:16. | :21:22. | |
been? I am like everyone else, I am nosey. I like watching Eamonn and | :21:22. | :21:30. | |
his wife. She was dreading it. And Paddy, in fairness, there is Eamonn | :21:30. | :21:35. | |
and his long-suffering wife. They squabbled and had fights, James | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
Hunt his wife, Beverley. You sit back then let it happen. They want | :21:41. | :21:46. | |
to do the show for you. It is tough on celebrities, it is tough. It is | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
harder because in the end they are not going to win anything. The | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
money goes to charity, half goes to the audience or whatever, but for | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
them, there is a chance it will look really embarrassing. I can't | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
mention anybody in particular, but Chris Evans. I knew you would say | :22:00. | :22:05. | |
that! But in July you are back to members of the public and you are | :22:05. | :22:12. | |
like. You us, I like to live think. -- yes. We have done a lot of | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
celebrities, there is only so many famous people who are that bright. | :22:17. | :22:25. | |
We haven't been on! Exact! Don't bring us into it. You apply. I did | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
apply as a contestant coming years ago, before The One Show. Brilliant. | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
A anyway, we're doing a summer series of specials, you live, huge | :22:34. | :22:39. | |
auditions for the people have been queuing around the block to come on. | :22:39. | :22:44. | |
I am looking forward to it. It is how we started, 14 years ago. It is | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
about mice little old ladies finding that �20,000 will change | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
their lives and it still will. There are stories all over the | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
world, I love the one about John Carpenter in the West who ran his | :22:55. | :23:02. | |
dad, and... Are the tax man, giving a million dollars to a taxman. | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
There are so many stories. And the real-life Who Wants To Be A | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
Millionaire?. Tell us about the new twist. You can apply on your | :23:12. | :23:18. | |
smartphone, you can join in. The normal ask the audience will become | :23:18. | :23:23. | |
ask the nation. You can say, I know this, and send it in. People in the | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
public gallery say, I know this, you can actually vote and increase | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
the percentage in the audience on your smartphone and online as well. | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
Tonight, we are road-testing, so you lot out there are going to do | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
your thing for Chris. We asked you a question earlier. What is the | :23:40. | :23:50. | |
:23:50. | :23:53. | ||
The most popular answer from our viewers was B -- Shilling. About | :23:53. | :23:58. | |
70% of you said that. They are very intelligent viewers. I never said | :23:58. | :24:05. | |
they were not. What is the correct answer? If you said a, you would | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
have got it wrong. If you had see, you would have got it wrong. If you | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
said Deeo, you would have got it wrong, 70% of your audience are | :24:13. | :24:19. | |
right, it is the shilling. massive round of applause. You had | :24:19. | :24:26. | |
better hope there are One Show viewers watching your show. I was | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
just being unkind. Celebrity Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? Is on | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
ITV won this Sunday at 7pm. My man Friday, Chris Evans, recently had a | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
cancer scare, something that his father and his two uncles actually | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
died from. Chris wanted to find out why many men completely missed the | :24:43. | :24:48. | |
symptoms for one particular cancer that is potentially treatable if | :24:48. | :24:54. | |
caught in time. There are 40,000 new cases a year, | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
the second biggest cancer killer in the UK and it is something not | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
usually discussed on teatime television, so what is it? Bowel | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
cancer and it is entirely treatable, Batty's, entirely treatable, if it | :25:08. | :25:15. | |
is caught early enough and that is about early diagnosis. The tragedy | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
of this disease is that when the symptoms are caught too late the | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
survivability rate drops to less than 10%. That is how my dad died | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
and both of his brothers as well, my uncles. Yet what killed all | :25:28. | :25:35. | |
three of them was cut out of May last year in just 11 seconds. -- | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
cut from me. What are the symptoms? The symptoms you should look out | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
for are bleeding, if you see any blood coming from your bottom, a | :25:44. | :25:50. | |
change of bowel habits, if you're pulled -- if your pool is looser or | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
if you are alternating between diarrhoea and constipation, or if | :25:55. | :26:01. | |
you have a lump in your abdomen. Go and see your GP. Your doctor will | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
refer you to a specialist for investigation using a simple and | :26:04. | :26:09. | |
painless procedure. It is a colonoscopy. This camera is like my | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
friend, it is like a bike -- Blind Date. I was nervous on our first | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
meeting but it could have saved my life, I love this camera. It is a | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
thin, flexible tube that goes into the bottom end. If we see anything | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
abnormal we can take tissue samples or remove the Pollitt at the time, | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
passing the instrument out at the end of the scope. This one knows me | :26:33. | :26:38. | |
into Mutley and it is nowhere near as bad as you sink and the local | :26:38. | :26:40. | |
anaesthetic makes it quite enjoyable. -- it knows me | :26:40. | :26:45. | |
intimitely. Reverend Barras Ben Brown has had his procedure and I'm | :26:45. | :26:50. | |
keen to find out how he got on. You have been in for a colonoscopy? | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
they have checked up through the RIA passage with a camera. They | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
found one problem and they were able to deal with it. Now men, | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
myself included are notoriously reticent -- reticent to do anything | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
about health issues but the cancer treatment does not get easier than | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
this, does it? It is a very simple procedure. People panicked too much | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
on cancer. They should realise it can be healed today. Don't hesitate. | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
It is something that doesn't take all that much time out of your day | :27:20. | :27:24. | |
and it can save your life at will stop the colonoscopy is fantastic | :27:24. | :27:27. | |
because it is able to both fined and remove these precancerous | :27:27. | :27:32. | |
problems. There is now a National Screening Programme to detect early | :27:32. | :27:35. | |
signs of bowel cancer that can be done in the privacy of your own | :27:35. | :27:39. | |
home. The national screening process could not be easier. If you | :27:39. | :27:42. | |
are having your dinner, you may want to look away now because we're | :27:42. | :27:48. | |
going to give it a go. You will get one of these test kits every two | :27:48. | :27:53. | |
years. You need to collect some pill. This is not real poo? | :27:53. | :27:58. | |
this is one we prepared earlier. Chocolate spread with what? Cereal, | :27:58. | :28:05. | |
fibrous serial. Take your first bit of cardboard kit, take a little bit | :28:05. | :28:10. | |
of stool sample that is in there and basically you need to smear it | :28:10. | :28:15. | |
on this. What is this for? That is the next one. Take it from the | :28:15. | :28:23. | |
other end of your stool, Duc two from one stool. Perfect, pop it | :28:23. | :28:28. | |
into the post and that is it. No expense to you at all other than | :28:28. | :28:32. | |
smearing your stool on cardboard. They are trying to save your life, | :28:32. | :28:37. | |
for free, who wouldn't want a bit of that? That is the story at St | :28:37. | :28:40. | |
Mark's, lots of clever people trying to help you help yourself | :28:40. | :28:44. | |
but the key is so many times, the sooner you get checked, the more | :28:44. | :28:50. | |
chance you have of surviving son nasties. | :28:50. | :28:54. | |
Thanks, Chris, we have put a list of who is eligible for the National | :28:54. | :28:57. | |
Screening Programme on our website. That is all we have time for | :28:57. | :29:02. |
