:00:19. > :00:26.Hello and welcome to the One Show with Matt Baker. And Alex Jones.
:00:27. > :00:33.Now, we're so pleased to see tonight's guest after his recent
:00:34. > :00:39.illness and extraordinary recovery. He is back in his right place,
:00:40. > :00:40.helping us to make sense of world events over our Sunday morning
:00:41. > :01:00.coffee. It is Andrew Marr. How are you getting on with your
:01:01. > :01:07.recovery? It is like a sticky and muddy hill. There is a long way to
:01:08. > :01:13.go. I am doing lots of work and getting better all the time. It is
:01:14. > :01:20.remarkable really. You spent two whole months in hospital. I am very
:01:21. > :01:26.good at sitting down. Were you a good patient? I was a rotten
:01:27. > :01:31.patient. I did all the physio but I hate lying on my back doing nothing.
:01:32. > :01:37.I think they could tell. When you say you are working hard every day,
:01:38. > :01:41.what are you doing? I have a session at the New Road
:01:42. > :01:48.physiotherapist to build some strength up. I am supposed to do
:01:49. > :01:56.exercises at home but not every day. My wife is a Visio. One thing which
:01:57. > :02:05.has helped Andrew on his road to recovery is his passion for drawing.
:02:06. > :02:11.-- a physiotherapist. I am glad you are a fan of rickshaws. I have
:02:12. > :02:16.ridden a rickshaw in Bangladesh. Really badly. I was chased by
:02:17. > :02:30.children up and down the street. You are going to be cycling with
:02:31. > :02:33.nine others. Good luck. As well as seeing more of Andrew's pictures,
:02:34. > :02:36.we'll also be seeing a performance from a hi-tech magician later -
:02:37. > :02:44.Jamie Allan. Have you seen Andrew's book? Look at that. What do you
:02:45. > :02:49.reckon? Today, British Gas became the latest energy company to
:02:50. > :02:54.announce a price hike. 9.2% on dual fuel bills from 23rd November. As
:02:55. > :02:57.politicians argue over the rights and wrongs of freezing tariffs,
:02:58. > :03:00.thousands of people could feel the freeze this winter. But, what is it
:03:01. > :03:02.like to live without any power at all? Tony Livesey has met one man
:03:03. > :03:13.who knows. Imagine a life with no lights
:03:14. > :03:21.commit no hot water and no home- cooked meals. That is exactly what
:03:22. > :03:26.British Gas revealed last week. You have had no power in your home
:03:27. > :03:32.question I have had no heating, electricity or hot water. He has
:03:33. > :03:38.been living without any electricity for over three years. Imagine that!
:03:39. > :03:42.I have come to see Chris in my thermals to find out what life
:03:43. > :03:54.without power is really like. Chris... Tony. Please come in. This
:03:55. > :03:58.way. I literally cannot see a thing. I will have to switch the light on
:03:59. > :04:03.the camera. Chris decided to take his stand against his power
:04:04. > :04:08.supplier by refusing to pay the arrears on a bail. He admits that
:04:09. > :04:14.now he is playing stubborn. It is a matter of principle. Some people
:04:15. > :04:21.might do it for a day or a week but three-and a-half years? I backed
:04:22. > :04:28.down and I asked for a key for the key meter. They sent it to me and
:04:29. > :04:34.they wanted to charge me ?70 to fix it because it did not work. Three
:04:35. > :04:41.years without electricity on a matter of principle basic clue. I
:04:42. > :04:47.will not pay a bill I do not owe. - - basically. It is pride that has
:04:48. > :04:52.got you into this position? Some people call it pride! Chris takes
:04:53. > :04:58.me on a tour of his house. He rarely uses tortures or candles. I
:04:59. > :05:04.switch off the camera light and tried to find my way through
:05:05. > :05:09.complete darkness. He will know the house. I am going through a door.
:05:10. > :05:16.Her cannot remember if the past is on my right or my left. I have
:05:17. > :05:21.arrived unscathed in the bathroom. I am staggered to hear how having a
:05:22. > :05:27.shower has been stripped back to basics. It is freezing in here. How
:05:28. > :05:34.do you manage? I wash with a bolt and shampoo my hair with a kettle
:05:35. > :05:39.filled with hot water. You stand in a shower, tipping a kettle on your
:05:40. > :05:46.head. Once or twice a week I do shout at my mum's. It is really
:05:47. > :05:51.weird. I do not notice it. Up until last week, Chris had hardly told
:05:52. > :06:00.anyone he was living like this - not even his mum. I did not tell my
:06:01. > :06:05.mum and my family. I am embarrassed. I cannot see a way of getting out
:06:06. > :06:10.of this. Chris has had to be invented in finding alternatives to
:06:11. > :06:15.his appliances. This is my home- made fridge. It does not too little
:06:16. > :06:23.but it is better than nothing. You put a bottle of milk in a saucepan
:06:24. > :06:29.of water. Most nights, Chris relies on sandwiches and tins of Spam. I
:06:30. > :07:41.treat myself to fish and chips once a week. To you, it looks strange
:07:42. > :07:44.but to me, it He has kept it out because he has only recently told
:07:45. > :07:52.his family he is living like this. He has been falling his family. It
:07:53. > :07:55.was a ruse, the iron was a ruse. With the big price tag, some viewers
:07:56. > :07:59.might be worried about falling behind with payments being
:08:00. > :08:06.disconnected. What can they do? That situation is very rare and power
:08:07. > :08:11.companies are not allowed to cut you off like that. They must offer you a
:08:12. > :08:19.payment scheme. The best advice is to go to the Citizens Advice Bureau.
:08:20. > :08:23.British Gas, today, that is in relation to a price hike. That is to
:08:24. > :08:29.add to the big six who have announced this. When will the next
:08:30. > :08:35.be? Within the next few days. They always follow suit. They are all
:08:36. > :08:41.going to be around the same figure. They will follow suit. Market
:08:42. > :08:48.forces, that is. The allegation is that they are too close for comfort.
:08:49. > :08:51.It is massive and Ed Miliband put it up at centre stage at the
:08:52. > :08:58.conference. Everybody knocked him down at the time and said it would
:08:59. > :09:05.never work. The public like it's and the coalition will have to come
:09:06. > :09:12.through. A potential vote winner? We had Ed Davey on and he said about
:09:13. > :09:15.the importance of Chinese investment. Unless they come up with
:09:16. > :09:20.some answer to really upset consumers then I think they will be
:09:21. > :09:25.leaving it to Labour. The energy company will be arguing that the
:09:26. > :09:36.lights will go out if they cannot control the prices.
:09:37. > :09:48.For British Gas, how much have prices risen? The BBC research unit
:09:49. > :09:54.has been busy all day. Prices have doubled. They are paying 77% more
:09:55. > :09:59.on heating and lighting and running appliances. Thank you very much. We
:10:00. > :10:03.know you are proud of you Scottish roots so we thought there is no
:10:04. > :10:17.Bron better in telling us what Akeld p is. It is a water Sprite. -
:10:18. > :10:26.- no one better in telling us what a kelpie is. The mythical kelpies
:10:27. > :10:29.are about to become very real as the subjects of one of the largest
:10:30. > :10:37.pieces of public art in the UK. Sarah Mac has had a close up view.
:10:38. > :10:42.The town of Falkirk in Scotland will soon be home to some
:10:43. > :10:49.supernatural beings. These magnificent mythical creatures are
:10:50. > :10:53.part of Scottish folklore. Now, the cull pay is part of an massive
:10:54. > :11:07.current cultural regeneration in central Scotland. -- kelpie. It is
:11:08. > :11:13.one of the biggest structural engineering projects in Scotland.
:11:14. > :11:17.These works are internationally acclaimed. You are famous for some
:11:18. > :11:22.big sculptures in Scotland. How does this compare? Not many
:11:23. > :11:29.sculptors win a project like this. It has been a fantastic experience.
:11:30. > :11:34.Inspiration comes from the legacy of the heavy horses that once
:11:35. > :11:40.worked in the fields and canals across the West of Scotland. The
:11:41. > :11:46.model was designed on two Clydesdale horses. I hear you have
:11:47. > :11:52.a family connection with the area. I still have relatives living in
:11:53. > :11:56.town. There is a sense of real legacy and direct association with
:11:57. > :12:02.the town. One of them has their heads down and the other bed head
:12:03. > :12:11.up. Why that way? It would be logical to have a gateway to merit
:12:12. > :12:16.image forces either side of the canal. There was a dynamism and
:12:17. > :12:23.tension between them. It creates a story rather than a straight for a
:12:24. > :12:27.duplicate of each other. As well as being a monument to the industrial
:12:28. > :12:31.past of Scotland, they have a modern day job as well. They
:12:32. > :12:37.attract hundreds of thousands of visitors to the Helix Park, which
:12:38. > :12:42.opens next spring. Standing taller than the Angel of the North they
:12:43. > :12:47.should be easily seen from the nearby M9. They are just as
:12:48. > :12:58.impressive on the inside as well. Wow! This is the cathedral. This is
:12:59. > :13:02.incredible! It just goes to show you some of the complexity of the
:13:03. > :13:07.steelworks structure inside these things. The idea is that people can
:13:08. > :13:11.come in here into the viewing gallery. The design is under
:13:12. > :13:15.consideration right now. We're working with architects to come up
:13:16. > :13:20.with an appropriate design and experience the scale of the
:13:21. > :13:27.sculptures. Also at the stainless- steel panels inside and out. --
:13:28. > :13:30.also, the stainless-steel panels inside and out. I'm privileged to
:13:31. > :13:45.get inside here. This is awesome! Once they are completed later this
:13:46. > :13:51.year, Falkirk will have made its mark firmly on the cultural map of
:13:52. > :13:56.Scotland. What an amazing day! I am so lucky to see the structures up
:13:57. > :14:05.close. They will be seen for miles around. I love huge sculptures. The
:14:06. > :14:10.Angel of the North sums it all up for me. If you want to see the
:14:11. > :14:12.kelpies for yourself, as you've heard, they are at the brand new
:14:13. > :14:16.Helix development in Falkirk just next to the M9. And they also form
:14:17. > :14:27.the centrepiece of a brand new stretch of the Forth and Clyde
:14:28. > :14:34.canal. They officially open next summer. And they are water sprites.
:14:35. > :14:41.They are. You were completely right. Let's talk about your book. It is a
:14:42. > :14:49.short book about drawing and that is why I called it that. You do not
:14:50. > :14:53.call yourself an artist. Why? An artist changes the world around
:14:54. > :14:59.them. They are pushing forward. Calling yourself an artist...
:15:00. > :15:05.People say, you are an artist. I draw and paint. That is what I do
:15:06. > :15:15.for myself. It is a bit like saying you can sing in the bath but you
:15:16. > :15:23.are not placid though Domingo. -- Placido. It helped you recovery
:15:24. > :15:26.after the stroke. One of the first things that many think it will be
:15:27. > :15:33.all right is that they wanted to draw again. -- that made you think.
:15:34. > :15:39.I draw up every day. It is part of who I am. A want to draw this bed
:15:40. > :15:48.and bedroom and people around me. I am still me. I was a bit shaky.
:15:49. > :15:53.Every good hospital has an art therapist who goes around and tries
:15:54. > :16:01.to use art to help people recover and rebuild morale. It gives them
:16:02. > :16:05.something to focus on. I like to draw representations - people and
:16:06. > :16:11.trees and so on. You do not want to draw people around you. This was
:16:12. > :16:15.one of the first ones. She took a photograph of me trying to stand.
:16:16. > :16:21.That is the physiotherapist and that is her hand. That is my bottom
:16:22. > :16:27.and that is me. It is a picture of stress as much as anything else. I
:16:28. > :16:32.used her photographs. I enjoyed it at the time. You start the book
:16:33. > :16:36.with that image and a description of what you talked about there. A
:16:37. > :16:46.lot of this was all done just before you had a stroke. Every day
:16:47. > :16:55.I would keep a diary. Good reading this. I am joking!
:16:56. > :17:00.It is something I do when I am waiting to film or I am on holiday
:17:01. > :17:05.or I am working in the House of Commons, I always have this with me,
:17:06. > :17:11.it keeps me going. Talk as through some of the ones we have here. These
:17:12. > :17:14.are cartoons. There is a wonderful organisation that tries to get
:17:15. > :17:24.people to draw and they have a festival every year, and this is one
:17:25. > :17:31.in London. This is the Guardian cartoonist, Steven Bell. Those are
:17:32. > :17:34.drawings of him drawing. You get a much better sense of him working
:17:35. > :17:41.than you would from a photograph. The movement and the intensity. That
:17:42. > :17:50.is him, and that is him again from behind. Let's have a look at the one
:17:51. > :17:56.behind you. It is Tony Blair. That is great. I very rarely draw
:17:57. > :18:02.politicians. I am interested in Bewdley! Is that your lounge? Yes. I
:18:03. > :18:07.was watching from home and it was the last few days before Tony Blair
:18:08. > :18:12.fell from power. He was cornered at the school visits and he finally
:18:13. > :18:16.agreed to set a limit on the term he would be in Number Ten, and he would
:18:17. > :18:24.resign after that. You can see the tension on his face, and the pain. I
:18:25. > :18:29.just freeze framed the television and drew eight. That is the corner
:18:30. > :18:37.of the rug and some DVDs. That is the work of an artist, that says a
:18:38. > :18:43.lot, that picture. It was an extraordinary day in politics. If I
:18:44. > :18:49.had not drawn eight, I would have forgotten it. Of all the books you
:18:50. > :18:54.have put together, you said that this is the one you enjoyed most. It
:18:55. > :19:00.is the most serious one as well. This is a book about how to live
:19:01. > :19:05.well. As you get older you start to think about what happiness is. It is
:19:06. > :19:09.about concentrating on being alive and being aware of being alive. Some
:19:10. > :19:13.people get it from singing or making music and I get it from drawing and
:19:14. > :19:18.painting. My message from this book is that a lot of people can get it
:19:19. > :19:26.from drawing. I agree. I draw to relax. I am glad to hear it. We
:19:27. > :19:32.might show you one of Matt's paintings later on. A Short Book
:19:33. > :19:36.about Drawing is out now. There is one spider that has been all over
:19:37. > :19:42.the papers and the internets, it is the False Widow. This has been
:19:43. > :19:45.causing panic across the UK and several people claim to have been
:19:46. > :19:52.bitten by the spider. We have checked with the spider expert and
:19:53. > :19:57.they say this spider has been in the UK for 100 years. George McGavin
:19:58. > :20:01.says there is another spider that you need to keep an eye out for. Not
:20:02. > :20:09.because it is dangerous but because it is written's eight legged Rebecca
:20:10. > :20:18.Adlington. The UK is home to 850 different species of spider 's but
:20:19. > :20:23.only one makes it home to hear. The scuba spider had already mastered
:20:24. > :20:27.this technique. Taking its air supply under the surface, this
:20:28. > :20:37.remarkable animal is the only spider to live its entire life underwater.
:20:38. > :20:42.To create its diving tank, it first makes a underwater web. It then
:20:43. > :20:46.visits the servers of the water to collect small air bubbles on the
:20:47. > :20:52.hair of its body. Pulling the bubbles down, it releases them into
:20:53. > :20:59.the web. Essentially comic it inflates its underwater house. It
:21:00. > :21:12.can avoid predators like words. This ecologist works here. How common are
:21:13. > :21:19.the spider 's? They are widespread. This is the perfect habitat. What
:21:20. > :21:22.makes it so good? There are lots of different types of plants here and
:21:23. > :21:28.lots of different structures, and that is what the water spider ones.
:21:29. > :21:33.There are lots of invertebrates. I want to see the spider's air tank,
:21:34. > :21:46.but with the habitat measuring just one centimetre in size, to see up
:21:47. > :21:56.close, we will have to catch one. It is digging action, it not? This is
:21:57. > :22:06.the bit I love. You have to open the vegetation up a bit. Oh, wow! What
:22:07. > :22:15.is that? Oh, there is a leech there as well! There are literally
:22:16. > :22:21.thousands of individual things in here. That is what makes it such a
:22:22. > :22:32.good habitat for the water spider. Oh, look, there is one. Oh, there is
:22:33. > :22:36.a water spider. Look at that! It is greyish brown but it has a velvet
:22:37. > :22:43.cover and a small head which gives it a sheen. Out of the water it may
:22:44. > :22:47.look dull and boring, but if I can get this into a tank, it will be
:22:48. > :22:54.transformed and we will be able to see how beautiful it really is.
:22:55. > :23:01.Vegetation and pray are ready in the tank and our camera is set up. It is
:23:02. > :23:10.time to release it. Wow! Look at that, amazing. Immediately, it has
:23:11. > :23:18.transformed from this dull grey spider into a Merc three coloured
:23:19. > :23:27.sheen. -- Mercury. It is at the surface now. She is taking some air
:23:28. > :23:33.on and she is back down. Wow, I have never seen that before. It could
:23:34. > :23:39.take up to two days for the spider to start weaving its web, but Graham
:23:40. > :23:45.captured another spider last week and this one has built its bubble.
:23:46. > :23:51.There is a little air hole under the surface. Unlike most spiders, its
:23:52. > :23:58.web plays no part in capturing prey. It's sole purpose is to maintain the
:23:59. > :24:03.spider's underwater air supply. Look how dense the web has to be to trap
:24:04. > :24:15.air. It is coming closer. Is it going to go in? Oh, yes, it is in.
:24:16. > :24:21.The structure of the territory absorbs the oxygen. The carbon
:24:22. > :24:27.dioxide, produced by the spider, that is diffused out. This means the
:24:28. > :24:34.spider only has to do return to the surface once every 24 hours. These
:24:35. > :24:37.spiders are truly unique. They are the only spiders in the world to
:24:38. > :24:43.spend almost their entire lives underwater. They lay eggs under
:24:44. > :24:48.water and feed underwater. They could be in a pond or a ditch near
:24:49. > :24:54.you. That is remarkable! Underwater spiders. Andrew, last time you were
:24:55. > :25:04.on, you were telling us about tablet art. It has not gone well. What has
:25:05. > :25:08.happened? After my illness, I did not go back to it for nine months,
:25:09. > :25:15.and you need a digital password, and I had forgotten mine. Eventually, I
:25:16. > :25:20.phoned up Apple and said I could not remember my password. They told me
:25:21. > :25:26.to press factory resetting. I thought I would lose everything, and
:25:27. > :25:35.they told me I word. There was no alternative at all. Always back-up.
:25:36. > :25:43.You did inspire Matt, and he had a go. I downloaded it. I thought this
:25:44. > :25:58.was excellent so I thought we would show it. Well done. We want you to
:25:59. > :26:02.fall in love with your tablet computer and so Jamie Allan is a
:26:03. > :26:06.magician that confuses sleight of hand with modern technology to
:26:07. > :26:14.create a new form of magic. He is here to show us some of his
:26:15. > :26:31.high-tech tablets -- tablet tricks. Take it away, Jamie.
:26:32. > :28:39.APPLAUSE .
:28:40. > :28:44.macro re-on his iMagician tour around the country until the end of
:28:45. > :28:55.November. Thank you so much. It was artistic. Your show is known for its
:28:56. > :29:02.end of show performances. We will have him! Thank you for bringing
:29:03. > :29:12.these lovely pieces of art in. You have an exhibition, don't you? We
:29:13. > :29:19.are on Charing Cross Road in Central London until the end of November.
:29:20. > :29:24.There will be some for sale for charities. On tomorrow's show, Chris
:29:25. > :29:28.and I will be here rocking out with Queen drummer Roger Taylor. Thank
:29:29. > :29:30.you, Andrew. Goodbye. Goodbye.
