:00:19. > :00:22.Hello and welcome to The One Show with Alex Jones and Matt Baker.
:00:22. > :00:27.Tonight we have got a show full of epic adventurers.
:00:27. > :00:30.We are going to meet the man who has just run, rowed and cycled
:00:30. > :00:35.across America despite having Parkinson's disease.
:00:35. > :00:45.We have got the brave Brit about to start a new epic job in the only
:00:45. > :00:51.
:00:51. > :00:58.post office in Antarctica. Shock, horror. Find out who will be
:00:58. > :01:04.taking on this year's epic Rickshaw Challenge for Children in Need.
:01:04. > :01:06.It is not the bear. Who better to join us than a man
:01:06. > :01:13.who has travelled around the world in 80 days?
:01:13. > :01:21.And a man who has travelled around 420 metres to be here are, because
:01:21. > :01:25.he is around the corner. Michael Palin and Alexander Armstrong!
:01:25. > :01:29.So nice to have you here. Michael, it has been five years
:01:29. > :01:38.since the last travel series. I was going to give up travelling.
:01:38. > :01:44.I was going to give up after around the world in 80 days. I nearly 70
:01:44. > :01:50.now. My have got to stay at home and get the is in the frame out. --
:01:50. > :01:55.in the is enough frame. Brazil suddenly became the talk about
:01:55. > :02:02.country. Not just the economics, but the World Cup, the real
:02:02. > :02:06.Olympics. I had to go and see it. And you're not the only one who has
:02:06. > :02:14.been travelling, Michael. Xander has been somewhere exotic.
:02:14. > :02:22.I have been to a mysterious Iden location. -- island location. It
:02:22. > :02:32.was a tropical island. Why? It was for ITV.
:02:32. > :02:45.
:02:45. > :02:50.It was enormous fun. And you got a great tan. Yes, you see. It is only
:02:50. > :02:55.his hands. The rest of his body is alabaster white.
:02:55. > :02:59.More from Michael and Xander throughout the show. Let's continue
:03:00. > :03:03.with our next epic adventurer. Last night we saw the first part of Alex
:03:03. > :03:07.Flynn's journey to America. He suffers from Parkinson's and
:03:07. > :03:17.wanted to raise awareness by running, cycling and rowing across
:03:17. > :03:20.
:03:20. > :03:25.the US. Eventually, it promised to This is it. I am in Santa Monica.
:03:25. > :03:29.This is the start of 3,500 miles to New York. Talk about biting off
:03:29. > :03:35.more than you can sue! His route takes in straight into
:03:35. > :03:42.the desert. As well as the heat, the roads are presenting some
:03:42. > :03:49.unexpected challenges already. It is quite scary. They come really
:03:49. > :03:52.close. The wind sucks you off the bike. I'm a bit scared at the
:03:52. > :03:56.moment. He needs to keep going to stay on
:03:56. > :04:01.schedule. He has given himself just two days to cover the 200 miles to
:04:01. > :04:10.Mount Whitney. The conditions are taking their toll.
:04:10. > :04:20.This is a lot to take on. The wind is against you. Every time I try to
:04:20. > :04:28.The next morning, Alex need something to pick up his spirits.
:04:28. > :04:38.He gets a call from his wife. How is the baby? He wants his
:04:38. > :04:41.
:04:41. > :04:47.daddy? Give him a big kiss from me. Tell him his daddy loves him. I
:04:47. > :04:52.have been waiting for that all day. Since yesterday morning. I am a
:04:52. > :04:59.happy man. It is just what he needed. Over the
:04:59. > :05:05.next four hours, he manages 65 miles to the bottom of the mountain.
:05:06. > :05:15.I am exhausted. I have got off the bike and I am walking up. I have
:05:16. > :05:21.
:05:21. > :05:31.got the mountain tomorrow. That is The time is for 50 5:00am. -- for
:05:31. > :05:33.
:05:33. > :05:40.Half I'm feeling the altitude. My breeding is laboured. Walking along
:05:40. > :05:46.the ledges, with hundreds of feet below you, you are like taking a
:05:47. > :05:55.gamble on the stones below you not moving. I have never been so scared
:05:55. > :06:04.in my life. Exhausted. I have drunk all my water. We are on top of the
:06:04. > :06:12.mountain. Truly fantastic. I did things today
:06:12. > :06:17.that I never even thought I would be able to do.
:06:17. > :06:24.From there, he is running 130 miles through Death Valley. Three hours
:06:24. > :06:29.in, he has only covered 12. A part of me wants to go home. But
:06:29. > :06:33.part is not going to be listened to. This is one of the hottest places
:06:33. > :06:41.on earth. To make up for lost time, he has to walk through the night.
:06:42. > :06:47.But that has its own dangers. Behind me is a huge thunderstorm.
:06:47. > :06:52.Frankly, that scares the pants off of May. We are on flat plains, and
:06:52. > :07:01.we are the tallest things around. There's a long way to go before I
:07:01. > :07:04.get to bed. This is the worst part. My feet are knackered. The plan is,
:07:04. > :07:10.we will go until we can't go any further.
:07:10. > :07:20.Over the course of the night, he makes up an astonishing 31 miles,
:07:20. > :07:27.
:07:27. > :07:34.I'm shaking. And stiff. I hate it. I wake up every day with that. I
:07:35. > :07:44.want it to go away. Last night, I ran for miles. I had pain going up
:07:44. > :07:52.there. I just seemed to switch off. I ran and I ran and I ran, and it
:07:52. > :07:57.was just so good. Incredibly happy. Alex pushes on to the end of Death
:07:57. > :08:07.Valley. The next 20 days will see him cycled more than 20,000 miles
:08:07. > :08:10.
:08:10. > :08:20.to the shape -- shores of Lake Erie. And after 3,000 miles and 35 days
:08:20. > :08:27.
:08:27. > :08:30.of incredible effort, Alex Flynn is Just phenomenal. Stewed
:08:30. > :08:35.congratulations for competing that mammoth challenge. You finally got
:08:35. > :08:39.to New York, where you were finishing. It did not quite go to
:08:39. > :08:43.plan because he wanted to finish at the Statue of Liberty.
:08:43. > :08:49.I wanted to finish at the Statue of Liberty. There were coastguards
:08:49. > :08:54.saying they would hold the shipping lane. The NYPD said it was fine to
:08:54. > :09:01.enter the water off Manhattan island. The US Parks Service said
:09:01. > :09:11.they needed six months' notice. You go onto the island and we will
:09:11. > :09:12.
:09:12. > :09:16.arrested for being a terrorist. So you went for the George
:09:16. > :09:22.Washington Bridge. What a moment that must have been. How did you
:09:22. > :09:28.feel when your body knew that it was over?
:09:28. > :09:33.It was numb. I had no feelings of excitement. I had no emotion. It
:09:33. > :09:37.was very strange. I work up this morning and I thought, I actually
:09:38. > :09:43.think I am the only person who has done the traverse of America in
:09:43. > :09:49.four disciplines. How are you feeling, physically?
:09:49. > :09:55.Shattered. An absolutely exhausted. You will be. It is just starting to
:09:55. > :10:00.dawn on you now. What were the best highlights, for you?
:10:00. > :10:10.The Hoover Dam, crossing that. I could not see properly, but it was
:10:10. > :10:11.
:10:11. > :10:21.amazing. It is smaller than you think. Las Vegas.
:10:21. > :10:22.
:10:22. > :10:32.Did you stop them up before long? I could hear London Calling by the
:10:32. > :10:35.
:10:35. > :10:39.clash very loudly. Running with my mate, Mark. That was fantastic.
:10:39. > :10:45.Just remind us why you did this challenge.
:10:45. > :10:51.There were three things. Raise awareness of Parkinson's. Raised �1
:10:51. > :10:55.million. And hopefully inspire others who have chronic
:10:55. > :10:58.neurological diseases or Parkinson's that it is not the end
:10:58. > :11:02.of the world. You can still challenge yourself and you can
:11:02. > :11:07.still push boundaries, no matter what.
:11:08. > :11:12.How are you feeling? How is your body? Your family are worried. But
:11:12. > :11:16.how are you feeling? I feel like going home, to be
:11:16. > :11:20.honest, and seeing my wife and spending some time with the family.
:11:20. > :11:24.Taking stock. Last night we saw your wife as you
:11:24. > :11:30.were preparing. She was incredibly worried. How did she cope when you
:11:30. > :11:39.were away? Brilliantly, I hope. You still
:11:39. > :11:44.haven't seen her? No! I'm seeing her tomorrow. That is the final
:11:44. > :11:52.homecoming? It is going to be fantastic. What I'm more concerned
:11:52. > :11:59.about is what other people do out there. Hopefully they will donate.
:11:59. > :12:03.My dad had Parkinson's. Any stories that show what people can do, it is
:12:04. > :12:08.just brilliant. Those are the kind of positive things that help people
:12:08. > :12:16.a lot. You have done a great job.
:12:16. > :12:21.You can find out more about Parkinson's through links on our
:12:21. > :12:26.website. Now, like many across the country,
:12:26. > :12:30.we were blown away by the volunteer spirit shown during London 2012.
:12:30. > :12:40.For this week's One Show To The Rescue, Lucy has gone to Birmingham
:12:40. > :12:49.
:12:49. > :12:56.I am here at Walsall Manor Hospital to meet One Show that you're show
:12:56. > :12:59.off Fraser. She is doing fantastic work getting people in to entertain
:12:59. > :13:07.patience. We look at the most dynamic
:13:07. > :13:10.organisations and we engage with them. So, a student beauticians,
:13:10. > :13:20.people in further education. You may be well cared for here, but for
:13:20. > :13:28.
:13:28. > :13:33.some people, the outside world I have to say, that did make me cry
:13:33. > :13:40.a little bit. What does it mean to have these guys come in and sing
:13:40. > :13:44.like that? It breaks the monotony. I'm going to go again. Thank you!
:13:44. > :13:50.Ex-nurse Jill has successfully brought this project to 14 British
:13:50. > :13:56.hospitals and is now hoping to expand into more. I would describe
:13:56. > :14:01.you as a human dynamo. How can I possibly help you? City Hospital in
:14:01. > :14:04.Birmingham have approached you and asked if you would like to work in
:14:04. > :14:07.our hospital. If you could bring all the dynamic organisations into
:14:08. > :14:13.the hospital, that would be fantastic. I have a list of
:14:13. > :14:19.impossible tasks and a big map. I feel like I'm in the Apprentice. I
:14:19. > :14:24.want to make a big splash for Jill and the patients of Birmingham City
:14:24. > :14:29.Hospital. Where better to start than at this prestigious school of
:14:29. > :14:32.dance? So, what will be the reaction to my
:14:32. > :14:36.plea to bring entertainment and companionship to the wards of
:14:36. > :14:44.Birmingham City Hospital? If you guys say yes, I know that everyone
:14:44. > :14:48.else will follow. Is it a yes or is it a no? Yes! Well, that's one off
:14:48. > :14:56.the wish list. Next cub scouts to sing campfire songs. What's the
:14:56. > :15:02.motto of the Cubs? Be prepared. Were you prepared for this? Um...
:15:02. > :15:08.And that's a yes. These are the people that I need. Students of
:15:08. > :15:16.beauty therapy to provide pampering. Yes? You can't make it. Yes, yes,
:15:16. > :15:22.yes. Come on! That's practically a full house!
:15:23. > :15:29.Am I going in here? Nope. That's not the right door. Here maybe. I
:15:29. > :15:36.need to get the right door first, obviously.
:15:36. > :15:41.# Oh happy day # Oh happy day #
:15:41. > :15:48.. CHEERING That was so good. Thank you. Thank you for letting me
:15:48. > :15:54.interrupt. Birmingham Community Gospel Choir, are you in? Yes or
:15:54. > :16:01.# Yes # . That's the most exciting response
:16:02. > :16:05.I have ever had to a question. And to truly bring the community
:16:05. > :16:15.into City Hospital, a Brummie Bhangra band.
:16:15. > :16:15.
:16:15. > :16:25.I've got to make it go with a bang, with a Bhangra bang. Are you in?
:16:25. > :16:27.
:16:28. > :16:31.Hoy, hoy, yes! That's an amazing reaction
:16:31. > :16:35.I think we can agree that the people of Birmingham have been
:16:35. > :16:40.outstanding. I have hardly had a no. It is just the start tomorrow night
:16:40. > :16:46.at Birmingham City Hospital, but if everybody turns up, it will be an
:16:46. > :16:51.outstanding start. I'm really excited.
:16:51. > :16:57.What a response from Birmingham. How good were the Bhangra dancers.
:16:58. > :17:02.You must have done a bit of Bhangra in your time Michael? Probably. I
:17:02. > :17:09.have danced in many places in the world. There is always a dance you
:17:09. > :17:17.have to do. I'm not a good dancer but the director always says, "Have
:17:17. > :17:19.a go." And you danced in Brazil. buses they dance. Let's see if
:17:19. > :17:24.Lucy's efforts have paid off. How many of these things have you
:17:24. > :17:28.managed to tick off the list? will see how many people I can tick
:17:28. > :17:33.off the list. It's a chilly night here in Birmingham but it is very
:17:33. > :17:38.exciting. Before I see if I have succeeded in the challenge, let's
:17:38. > :17:44.have a quick word with Jill from Kissing it Better. How are you?
:17:44. > :17:50.very excited thank you. Good. This is not a question of people bowling
:17:50. > :17:55.up to their local hospital and saying, "I want to volunteer" is
:17:55. > :18:00.it? No, we provide the infrastructure to make it totally
:18:00. > :18:05.safe. And we do it quickly too. I've seen this woman in action, she
:18:05. > :18:09.is a human dynamo. It is also not just a question of being a show-off
:18:09. > :18:13.and wanting to perform is it? Absolutely not. We want people to
:18:13. > :18:18.give their time to people who are disadvantaged because they are in
:18:18. > :18:21.hospital. We want them to have that how much touch. When you are
:18:21. > :18:25.hospital you feel that the community have forgotten awe bit.
:18:25. > :18:35.By bringing them in, it makes a huge difference. Shall we see how
:18:35. > :18:43.many people have turned up tonight? First of all, a magician. Chris.
:18:43. > :18:49.# I'm gonna let it shine... # That's magic. Off you go.
:18:49. > :18:56.Birmingham Community Gospel Choir Spectacular voice as always. In you
:18:56. > :19:06.go into the hospital. And the 206 cub pack. They are going to sing
:19:06. > :19:08.
:19:08. > :19:13.campfire songs. My beautiful beauty therapists. Highly skilled. And the
:19:13. > :19:18.Brummie Bhangra Band! Slightly overwhelmed by the noise
:19:18. > :19:23.and the amount of people. The whole thing. Absolutely amazing. Jill,
:19:23. > :19:28.have I succeeded in your challenge? More than 100%. Thank you very much.
:19:28. > :19:32.We are going to set our volunteers to work straight away in Birmingham
:19:32. > :19:37.City Hospital. We shall see you later. That is a great sight seeing
:19:37. > :19:43.a Bhangra band and ballet people. Who was the man with the pink
:19:43. > :19:50.turban. Bhangra security. LAUGHTER No question. Xander, you've been
:19:50. > :19:57.hosting Pointless for four series. Brilliant. I think it is more. They
:19:57. > :20:02.now morph. When we first started off we had to finish saying maybe
:20:02. > :20:07.two versions, "See you next series" and the other, "It's been great
:20:07. > :20:11.fun." We were on it. We thought we would do a One Show version of
:20:11. > :20:15.Pointless and you and Michael can play along. It is quite complicated.
:20:15. > :20:20.If you would like to explain the rules, it will be lovely. Every
:20:20. > :20:28.question has been asked to 100 people. They've been given 100
:20:28. > :20:33.seconds to name as many for example James Bond films. If you pick Dr No,
:20:34. > :20:39.it is going to be high scoring. Never Say Never Again I imagine
:20:39. > :20:45.would be low scoring. You have to think of the most obscure answer in
:20:45. > :20:51.that category but which is still correct. On that note... We asked
:20:51. > :20:57.100 people to name the members of Monty Python.
:20:57. > :21:02.Xander, you can start. Which correct answer did the least amount
:21:02. > :21:07.of people say? This is controversial. This is going to be
:21:07. > :21:12.difficult. If it is me I'm going to suffer terrible depression. Because
:21:12. > :21:22.he's gone on into academia, I'm going to say Terry Jones. You say
:21:22. > :21:30.going to say Terry Jones. You say Terry Jones. Have a look.
:21:30. > :21:35.Ten! Very good. That means? Only ten people knew that. Michael, we
:21:35. > :21:45.need you now to give us one correct answer now. Hopefully less people
:21:45. > :21:50.
:21:50. > :21:53.will have said that answer. Oh, sorry. That was proper...
:21:53. > :22:00.Xander said Terry Jones. Now you have to come up with a member. Who
:22:00. > :22:10.do you think the least amount of people mentioned? Carol Cleveland?
:22:10. > :22:20.
:22:20. > :22:30.She's not on the list. There's six of you. Graham Chapman.
:22:30. > :22:30.
:22:30. > :22:36.APPLAUSE John cheese was number one and you were number two. He's dead
:22:36. > :22:46.unfortunately. Now you've got the hang of it, would you like to do
:22:46. > :22:46.
:22:46. > :22:50.another one? Don't patronise ME! asked 100 people to name as many of
:22:50. > :22:55.Michael Palin's travel series. you say you've done seven no-one
:22:55. > :23:05.Eight including Brazil. I'm going to go with the Himalayas.
:23:05. > :23:13.
:23:13. > :23:23.Seven. Really? Yes. I worked hard on that. You have to find lower
:23:23. > :23:30.
:23:30. > :23:38.CHEERING There you go! OK. Nobody mentioned that. 73 people said
:23:38. > :23:45.Michael Palin Around the World, pole pole, Sahara, Himalaya, Full
:23:45. > :23:51.Circle, and Hemingway Adventure, and they were Pointless. Not
:23:51. > :23:54.literally pointless. Are you surprised by that? The first one is
:23:54. > :24:00.the one everybody knows. Most of the people haven't been born by the
:24:01. > :24:06.time we made that, so I'm quite surprised. Speaking of Pointless,
:24:06. > :24:13.you've written a book that's completely pointless. I have.
:24:13. > :24:20.Richard Osman and I have penned a book called did 100 Most Pointless
:24:20. > :24:23.Things in the World. It has lots of quizzes and fun things. Very
:24:23. > :24:28.interactive. Thank you Michael. That's exactly what it is. It is
:24:28. > :24:33.also full of nonsense. Lots of banter stuff that we find pointless.
:24:33. > :24:41.Can you give us some example? great many examples. You mentioned
:24:41. > :24:44.a panda as well at one stage. Richard thinks pandas are pointless.
:24:44. > :24:48.Richard thinks pandas are pointless. I don't. Their digestive system is
:24:48. > :24:53.good to be able to eat meat and yet they just eat wood. It is
:24:53. > :24:58.essentially a construction material. We could talk about this
:24:58. > :25:04.photographer. Novelty songs. number 77 we hear. Exactly. We have
:25:04. > :25:12.a quiz of novelty songs. My favourite, inappropriate caravan
:25:12. > :25:19.names. Marauder? LAUGHTER Fire Storm? This is a wet fortnight in
:25:19. > :25:25.Dungeness we are talking about. That leads us to our next... Feel
:25:25. > :25:29.free to have a chat. We will moven to another epic journey, to
:25:29. > :25:33.Antarctica. 1,900 years since Captain Scott's famous attempt to
:25:33. > :25:40.reach the South Pole. Less well known is the letter he wrote in his
:25:40. > :25:46.final days. It has created a legacy which the current generation of
:25:46. > :25:51.Scott s continue to talk about. Antarctica is one of the most
:25:51. > :25:55.hostile place on earth, where temperatures can drop to 70 degrees
:25:55. > :26:00.below freezing. British hero Captain Scott met his match here in
:26:00. > :26:02.1912 when he made his fateful journey to the South Pole. Hit by
:26:02. > :26:07.some the worst weather ever recorded on the Continent and
:26:07. > :26:12.running out of supplies, he knew he wouldn't make it home. He wrote a
:26:12. > :26:18.poignant letter, a letter that had some extraordinary consequences.
:26:18. > :26:24.It has clearly been written over several days and it starts off, "To
:26:24. > :26:30.my widow." It says that he hasn't suffered any pain and that he's
:26:30. > :26:34.loved her. Here it refers to their son, who was almost three. It says,
:26:34. > :26:40."Make the boy interested this natural history if you can. It is
:26:40. > :26:45.better than games." That boy was Peter Scott, and interested in
:26:45. > :26:50.natural history turned out to be a bit of an understatement. The late
:26:50. > :26:56.Sir Peter Scott went on to be one of the giants of conservation and
:26:56. > :27:00.the first to be knighted for it. He founded the Wildfowl and Wetlands
:27:00. > :27:03.Trust here in the Slimbridge ins Gloucestershire. He came one the
:27:03. > :27:07.Red List, which keeps track of endangered wildlife around the
:27:07. > :27:12.world. And he started the World Wide Fund for Nature, which
:27:12. > :27:16.protects those threatened species and habitats. He even designed its
:27:16. > :27:22.famous panda logo. Peter was just a toddler when the letter was written,
:27:22. > :27:26.so it was mother, Kathleen, who sparked his passion for wildlife,
:27:26. > :27:30.as his daughter knows. certainly took the introduction in
:27:30. > :27:33.the letter to make the boy interested in natural history
:27:33. > :27:37.seriously. She of thought her husband was amazing and what he had
:27:37. > :27:43.done was amazing. I think she felt this was a good way to honour him,
:27:43. > :27:49.so she introduced my father to all sorts of people who would show him
:27:49. > :27:54.animals. She would have introduced him to nature in a big way. Wild
:27:54. > :28:00.geese and swans we are his first love. He described himself as being
:28:00. > :28:07.totally adigited to their magic. In his mid 30s he founded the site to
:28:07. > :28:14.enabling his first ground-breaking conservation project. He saw
:28:14. > :28:19.Slimbridge as a place to bring threatened species back into the
:28:19. > :28:25.wild. These Hawaiian geese were on the brink of extinction in 1952,
:28:25. > :28:30.with just 30 left. But Peter Scott managed to get them to breed.
:28:30. > :28:34.Thanks to his work there's now over 800 in the world in Hawaii and
:28:34. > :28:38.thousands in breeding programmes around the world. Thousands of
:28:38. > :28:44.birds naturally overwintering at Slimbridge he was also able to
:28:44. > :28:47.pioneer new research techniques. In the 1960s, Bewick San swans started
:28:47. > :28:57.arriving and Peter noticed that each one had a unique pattern on
:28:57. > :29:09.
:29:09. > :29:18.De to have favourites that to look out for? -- de due. My best time
:29:18. > :29:28.Louise and Stella had not come. I went out in the morning. When I
:29:28. > :29:33.came back, there worthies swans circling around. The Peter Scott's
:29:33. > :29:38.vision was not only to preserve wildlife, but to promote other
:29:38. > :29:46.people doing it, too. Today, over a million people visit
:29:46. > :29:49.his nine wet land centres every year. It can all be traced back to
:29:49. > :29:54.one inspirational letter. At the end of it, Captain Scott refers
:29:54. > :29:59.again to the young son he will never see grow up. He ought to have
:29:59. > :30:05.a fine career, he writes, and do something in the world. Sir Peter
:30:05. > :30:15.Scott certainly did. I think it is amazing. What a
:30:15. > :30:16.
:30:16. > :30:22.legacy, finding these organisations. His message is amazing. Wonderful.
:30:22. > :30:25.What a story. And it is so important that his
:30:25. > :30:35.story is told. But we think we have found the most inaccurate telling
:30:35. > :31:01.
:31:01. > :31:05.That was a classic. I had to wrestle with this lion. It was just
:31:05. > :31:11.a dummy. He must have been boiling in that
:31:11. > :31:21.big jacket. -- you must. I had to smoke a cigar at the same time.
:31:21. > :31:22.
:31:22. > :31:26.Thank you for showing that. Miranda is here as well. Scott's
:31:26. > :31:31.letters are about to inspire a whole new generation.
:31:31. > :31:41.You can imagine how his words have run in Peter Scott's hears how he
:31:41. > :31:44.
:31:44. > :31:48.was doing -- Rana in Peter Scott's The Wildlife and wetlands Trust
:31:48. > :31:54.asking the public to write similarly inspirational letters.
:31:54. > :31:58.They can be written to a politician, a celebrity, to a teacher, to your
:31:58. > :32:03.granny, to inspire people to go out and enjoy the natural world. But
:32:03. > :32:13.also to do something to help it. Who knows, Peter Scott changed
:32:13. > :32:14.
:32:14. > :32:22.history. There's a link on the One Show website. There's a lovely one
:32:22. > :32:28.to a celebrity, Seine, give up your worldly items and go and live on an
:32:28. > :32:32.island. There's a few weeks left of the competition. After that, all
:32:32. > :32:39.the letters are going to be read and judged. I am lucky to be one of
:32:39. > :32:44.the judges. In the top 100 letters, they are going to be taken to the
:32:44. > :32:50.most southerly postbox in the world. They will be sent there with
:32:50. > :32:54.special stamps. I have a special Antarctic postmark on them. They
:32:54. > :32:59.will be sent to their recipients. They will follow the route that
:32:59. > :33:06.Scott's letter to all those years ago. Basically, this is going to be
:33:06. > :33:13.part of an inspirational campaign. We are asking people to send in
:33:13. > :33:19.their letters. This year's four volunteers it had
:33:19. > :33:26.just heard they are going to be out there Manning the Post Office. They
:33:26. > :33:32.include Flo Barrow. Come and see us! Good to see you.
:33:32. > :33:40.Congratulations on being chosen. What inspired you to get involved?
:33:40. > :33:47.I went to visit a centre in Dundee. I saw the cabin of my great, great
:33:47. > :33:51.uncle. He was a geologist. I was inspired by the work of the
:33:51. > :33:56.Antarctic Heritage Trust. I went on their website and found a job that
:33:56. > :34:02.would take me there. At this is a first job after
:34:02. > :34:09.graduating? Yes. The exams did not matter.
:34:10. > :34:14.What are you going to do there? there's a huge variety. There's a
:34:14. > :34:18.museum, Post Office, gift shop. Also, a study to monitor the
:34:18. > :34:24.penguins. You will need to keep warm, so we
:34:24. > :34:27.have got to a One Show hat. Have fun. Send us a postcard!
:34:27. > :34:31.For years, green campaigners have been persuading us to use fewer
:34:32. > :34:38.plastic bags. In the past year, nobody has been more successful
:34:38. > :34:45.than the Welsh. What is that down to, Alex? We are environmentally
:34:45. > :34:49.aware, Matthew. Anita Rani has her own ideas.
:34:49. > :34:54.Back in the 1970s, there was a revolution in supermarket shopping.
:34:54. > :35:02.Out went the cardboard boxes left by the checkouts, and in came a new
:35:02. > :35:09.era of free plastic bags. We have been using them ever since.
:35:09. > :35:12.But here in Wales, things are a bit different. Would you like a carrier
:35:12. > :35:18.bag? I would. If you want one of these,
:35:18. > :35:22.you have got to cough up and pay for it. A year ago, the Welsh
:35:22. > :35:27.government introduced a 5p charge on most carrier bags. The policy
:35:27. > :35:32.was designed to cut use of plastic bags. And it worked.
:35:32. > :35:36.In the first six months of the ban, food shops saw a 96% drop in the
:35:36. > :35:40.number of bags being given out to customers.
:35:40. > :35:47.What do you think of having to pay for the bags in Wales?
:35:47. > :35:53.We do in South Africa, so it is not a barber for me. It has certainly
:35:53. > :35:57.clear up our country. I resent paying 5p for bags. It is
:35:57. > :36:01.good for the environment but it is ridiculous when you can go a couple
:36:01. > :36:05.of miles down the road and get as many as you want.
:36:05. > :36:08.I don't see why the rest of the country doesn't follow.
:36:08. > :36:12.The carrier bag charge has been good news for charities in Wales.
:36:12. > :36:18.The profits from the sale has all gone to good causes. It is a
:36:18. > :36:23.windfall of more than �1 million in the first year.
:36:23. > :36:27.It has also meant fewer plastic bags ending up in places like this.
:36:27. > :36:31.Organisations, including Keep Britain tidy, now want to see the
:36:31. > :36:36.rest of the UK follow suit. What is the problem with carrier
:36:36. > :36:45.bags? Why shouldn't we cut done -- down?
:36:45. > :36:49.At the moment, we take 250 more carrier bags per-second from shops.
:36:49. > :36:57.They end up in landfill or blowing down the streets as litter.
:36:57. > :37:03.Ultimately, they are not good. There's and environmental cost.
:37:03. > :37:08.This is one small step towards changing people's behaviour.
:37:08. > :37:12.In England, some shops do already charge customers for carrier bags.
:37:12. > :37:16.But the government has no plans to make it compulsory at the moment.
:37:16. > :37:21.In Northern Ireland, shoppers will be charged or carrier bags from
:37:21. > :37:24.April next year. In Scotland, the government has just completed a
:37:24. > :37:29.consultation to see it charges should be introduced there.
:37:29. > :37:32.Plastic bags have gained a reputation as the bad boys of
:37:32. > :37:39.packaging. They have come to represent everything that is wrong
:37:39. > :37:44.about our throwaway lifestyle. But not everybody shares that opinion.
:37:44. > :37:48.Here, they make bags for everybody. If you are a shopping in Wales, you
:37:48. > :37:52.have to pay for them. Paul is the chairman of the carrier
:37:52. > :37:57.bag consortium. He says if shoppers are pushed into using hessian or
:37:57. > :38:02.cotton bags, it will not help the environment.
:38:02. > :38:09.You would have to use a cotton bag 173 times to equal the carbon-
:38:09. > :38:13.dioxide use of a supermarket carrier. You would have to use it
:38:13. > :38:19.every week for three years. What is not in dispute is that a
:38:19. > :38:25.year on, the behaviour of shoppers in Wales has changed dramatically.
:38:25. > :38:29.It is a really good idea. It would save so many plastic bags. People
:38:29. > :38:35.would really think about whether they wanted one.
:38:35. > :38:41.I feel better with a cotton bag, don't you? Yeah. I bet you have got
:38:41. > :38:46.loads of those in your car. yeah.
:38:46. > :38:50.I just collects cotton bags! Is that what you are saying?
:38:50. > :38:57.At the beginning of the show, we spoke about your new series and
:38:57. > :39:07.book based in Brazil. Here is a clip of you meeting the Yanomami
:39:07. > :39:10.
:39:10. > :39:16.Unlike us, the Yanomami live community. This House must be at
:39:16. > :39:21.least 400 metres in circumference. There's no privacy whatsoever. They
:39:21. > :39:28.are less fierce than I expected. They regard me as a source of
:39:28. > :39:33.entertainment. Good to be here. I have never been
:39:33. > :39:39.in this part of the world before. I did not expect to be doing comedy
:39:39. > :39:46.on my first day in the Amazon. Was it the grey hair he was looking
:39:46. > :39:52.at? What was he saying? I don't know. He was just
:39:52. > :39:56.interested. They touch you in that rather unselfconscious way, which
:39:56. > :40:01.is fun. As fascinated with your hair as the
:40:01. > :40:07.technology. I take a little notebook and I
:40:07. > :40:12.scribble things down when I'm not on camera. They were fascinated by
:40:12. > :40:16.that, and my tape-recorder. The children love to hear their voices.
:40:16. > :40:20.You can play it back to them, and it is a great way of getting into
:40:20. > :40:24.contact with them. That is important. You have got a short
:40:24. > :40:30.amount of time to bridge that gap between your world and their world.
:40:30. > :40:35.The book is in the form of a diary. We found some amazing pictures.
:40:35. > :40:41.This is a tribesman operating a camera. That is actually their own
:40:41. > :40:44.equipment. This was a tried further south.
:40:45. > :40:49.They were in the middle of the rainforest. They had a number of
:40:49. > :40:52.people visiting them with cameras. What they want now is to learn to
:40:52. > :40:56.use cameras themselves. They are extremely good at it. In the old
:40:56. > :41:04.days, when people bought them a gift of guns or clothes, now you
:41:04. > :41:10.have got to bring them an editing kit. They are really clued up. They
:41:10. > :41:16.are interested in recording their own tribe. This is the thing that
:41:16. > :41:19.will help them to survive. They are threatened by all sorts of things,
:41:19. > :41:23.industry, reservoirs and all that. But they just want to make sure
:41:23. > :41:30.that they keep their culture. They are doing it themselves, which is
:41:30. > :41:36.fantastic. You did it so many places, -- you
:41:36. > :41:40.visit so many places, but you saw one that was made by Henry Ford.
:41:40. > :41:50.He decided to grow rubber for his cars in the middle of Brazil. He
:41:50. > :41:59.chose this place, and it did not work. There was leaf blight. It is
:41:59. > :42:06.a ghost town and the bill of the jungle. -- the middle. It looks
:42:06. > :42:11.like Midwestern America. It was built in the 1920s and 1930s for
:42:11. > :42:15.what he thought would be a revolution in the Amazon. Now it is
:42:15. > :42:18.just a wonderfully atmospheric ghost town. A fascinating series
:42:18. > :42:23.and book. You have done eight series
:42:23. > :42:33.altogether. We are going to hand you a globe. Where is it?
:42:33. > :42:37.It Bobby easier to point out where you have not been. -- it is
:42:37. > :42:43.probably easier. I have been to Lincolnshire. I have not been to
:42:43. > :42:47.Argentina. I have not been too much of the Middle East. All of this
:42:47. > :42:55.area, southern Russia, Mongolia. Would you like to go to the Middle
:42:55. > :42:59.East? I would love to. All those countries that have conflict have
:42:59. > :43:05.the oldest civilisations in the world. Syria, Iran, Iraq, I would
:43:05. > :43:08.love to go there. The book about his letter adventure
:43:08. > :43:12.in Brazil is out now. The television series starts next
:43:12. > :43:18.Wednesday. Moving on to a Jenny closer to home,
:43:18. > :43:26.it is time for the return of the One Show's Rickshaw Challenge.
:43:26. > :43:32.Last year, you raised �1.9 million supporting the journey, which
:43:32. > :43:38.finished on Children in Need night. That was emotional. I can't
:43:38. > :43:42.remember that happening. This year, the challenge is not mine. But I am
:43:42. > :43:52.going to be mentoring a team from the UK who have to overcome more
:43:52. > :44:10.
:44:11. > :44:17.It is a bit weird me doing a bike challenge on a rickshaw, but I've
:44:17. > :44:26.got the best sight in my family. My mum, my dad, my brother and my
:44:26. > :44:34.sister are all registered blind. have cerebral palsy and that
:44:34. > :44:39.affects my walking, my balance and my speech mainly. I'm really
:44:39. > :44:44.looking forward to doing the challenge with other young people.
:44:44. > :44:48.I come from an area where young people turn towards gang crime and
:44:48. > :44:54.stuff like that. I didn't want that for myself. I've been given a lot
:44:54. > :45:00.by Children In Need, so I want to be able to give back. I look after
:45:00. > :45:04.my brother and my sister and my mum. I want to be involve in the
:45:04. > :45:12.Rickshaw Challenge to promote young carers, as they are not looked upon
:45:13. > :45:18.very much and they are ignored quite a lot. I had a kidney
:45:18. > :45:21.(Inaudible) and in 2006 I competed in the British Transplant Games. It
:45:21. > :45:25.is funded by Children In Need. The Rickshaw Challenge is important
:45:25. > :45:35.because people can support it and make other people's lives different
:45:35. > :45:36.
:45:36. > :45:43.and for the better. When I was 11 I was knocked down by a car and
:45:43. > :45:51.suffered from a brain injury. The doctors said I should be grateful
:45:51. > :45:58.for anything above breathing, but now I'm cycling a rickshaw from
:45:58. > :46:04.Wales to London! I think this is going to be quite a challenge, 500
:46:04. > :46:09.miles on a rickshaw, a challenge for most people I think. I'm so
:46:09. > :46:12.excited. Obviously it is like a big '. If we can raise the money and
:46:12. > :46:22.the awareness as well, that will be really good. I'm looking forward to
:46:22. > :46:28.
:46:28. > :46:32.Kieran, Jamila, Darren, James, Jack... Bye! APPLAUSE
:46:32. > :46:38.They are an inspirational bunch. Apologies for the bad sound in that.
:46:38. > :46:48.The route. That's what we need to know. Day one they go from
:46:48. > :46:49.
:46:49. > :46:55.Llandudno to Dollgellau and then: They come back to Television Centre
:46:55. > :47:00.on the Friday. That's the plan. Last year the amount of money One
:47:00. > :47:05.Show viewers donated was incredible, but this year we are hoping for
:47:05. > :47:09.even more. All we can ask is you get behind us. It was brilliant for
:47:09. > :47:15.your support. Thanks to them and fingers crossed for this year.
:47:15. > :47:25.Michael and zapdzer, read out how people can support this.
:47:25. > :47:31.-- Xander. Text TEAM to 70705. �5 will go to Children In Need.
:47:31. > :47:35.must ask the bill payer's permission before you text. For
:47:35. > :47:40.full terms and conditions visit bbc.co.uk/theoneshow. Have you ever
:47:40. > :47:48.travelled in a rickshaw Michael? Through Soho mainly. I thought it
:47:48. > :47:55.would be a lot hor exotic than that. I've been in a few rickshaws. I'm
:47:55. > :48:04.incredibly impressed how people, in India, they take you uphill and
:48:04. > :48:14.walk. But they are very tough guys. And we've got something for you now.
:48:14. > :48:17.These are for you. I'm going to examine you. At the Leeds
:48:17. > :48:22.Championship dog show no expense is spared by the owners to get their
:48:22. > :48:29.dog looking its best. But when Michael Douglas went the visit, he
:48:29. > :48:36.found that the humans could do with some grooming themselves. Man's
:48:36. > :48:42.best friend. Our loyal canine companionens, Lassie. Scooby Doo.
:48:42. > :48:47.What could be better by your side than a dog? Me, I'm not dead sure
:48:47. > :48:52.about this whole dog thing. My wife and kids would love a dog, but my
:48:52. > :48:57.dad had one once and it ate a hammer! But I'm prepared to give
:48:57. > :49:02.them the benefit of the doubt, so I have brought my box of finest
:49:02. > :49:07.treats to the Leeds Championship dog show. Treats for the owners.
:49:07. > :49:12.There are 2,000 dog clubs in the UK and they host a staggering 5 ,000
:49:12. > :49:17.dog-related events every year. That looks like the fluffiest little
:49:17. > :49:21.Munchkin I've seen. What's he called? This is iceman. This is
:49:21. > :49:26.Michael and he's a professional dog hander, is that correct? That's
:49:26. > :49:30.correct. People send their dogs to us and we groom and train them.
:49:30. > :49:33.What's the most successful dog you had? Probably the Kerry Blue. He
:49:33. > :49:38.went to America and became the number one dog in America. A top
:49:38. > :49:43.dog. Is there any type of dog you don't
:49:43. > :49:51.like? I don't dislike any dogs. A couple of people. You look almost
:49:51. > :49:58.the same, but a bit better. Take a look. That's good. Is that alright?
:49:58. > :50:04.Perfect. Look at the size of them as well!
:50:04. > :50:13.Brilliant. They put a whole fringe in one snip. What dogs are you
:50:13. > :50:16.showing today. Big ones? Chihuahuas. So this is the lovely Karen. She is
:50:16. > :50:21.a canine beautician. What's the biggest challenge of your job, is
:50:21. > :50:28.it getting them to stand still? especially puppies. It is probably
:50:28. > :50:36.a bit like doing a child's haircut. What do you use to distract them?
:50:36. > :50:43.Noises.Er a licking noise. Take a look. Wow! That's lovely. Thank you.
:50:43. > :50:49.Fantastic. You had nothing to worry about. There's a theme going on
