:00:18. > :00:25.Hello and welcome to the One Show with Matt Baker and Alex Jones. It
:00:26. > :00:29.is a busy time of year for lots of shops around the country but we have
:00:30. > :00:34.persuaded one special shopkeeper to close early and come and join us. It
:00:35. > :00:46.is Granville himself, Sir David Jason. Very nice to see you, Sir
:00:47. > :00:50.David. Thank you. It is exactly 50 years since your television debut.
:00:51. > :00:56.So we have put together a Granville-style hamper. It is not
:00:57. > :01:01.the best. It is all right. We put a bit of effort in. Bits and pieces to
:01:02. > :01:09.mark different projects. The magnifying glass for Frost. We have
:01:10. > :01:20.some haven for the Darling Buds of May. That smells. I never did that,
:01:21. > :01:25.it wasn't me. That brings us to Open All Hours, but it is a bit stinky. I
:01:26. > :01:32.will not hand it over just now. Are you a fan of the hamper at Christmas
:01:33. > :01:36.time? Does it bring you joy? Yes, especially if it is sent by somebody
:01:37. > :01:44.else from Fortnum and Mason 's. If anybody wants to send me one! I
:01:45. > :01:49.would be welcoming it. There are always bits and pieces at the bottom
:01:50. > :01:53.that you think, that is not me. The odd marmalade with orange and brandy
:01:54. > :02:00.or something weird where they have twisted it a bit too far. I don't
:02:01. > :02:05.know where you get yours! This got us thinking. We want to hear from
:02:06. > :02:09.you if you are planning to send on a present that you actually received
:02:10. > :02:15.last year. We want you to take a photo of the item and send it in to
:02:16. > :02:22.the usual address. We will only use first names and we will not give any
:02:23. > :02:26.idea where you are from. All day, Warwick Davies has been going on and
:02:27. > :02:33.on about the Star Wars premiere last night. It has been Han Solo this,
:02:34. > :02:37.Skywalker that. He has starred in two Star Wars films but I don't
:02:38. > :02:44.think he would have got an invite to the Premier if it was not fast.
:02:45. > :02:49.I started my career 32 years ago when I appeared in Star Wars, return
:02:50. > :02:56.of the Jedi, and now I am at the UK premiere of the latest release in
:02:57. > :03:01.the saga, The Force Awakens. All these people have come to see
:03:02. > :03:04.the stars. I could be hanging out there with Harrison Ford, Carrie
:03:05. > :03:11.Fisher and Mark Hamill, but I am with the most important people, the
:03:12. > :03:16.fans. Where have you travelled from? Italy? To be here? And you have come
:03:17. > :03:23.all the way from Southend. Incredible dedication. And like most
:03:24. > :03:32.fans, I have myself the stick. I wanted a light sabre but they would
:03:33. > :03:37.not give me one. BB-8. Fantastic. Smile. He doesn't want to smile.
:03:38. > :03:40.With my unique access to the red carpet, maybe I could give them a
:03:41. > :03:45.helping hand to meet their favourite stars. You want Mark Hamill. Goudie
:03:46. > :03:58.you want? Harrison Ford. Hello. Are you up for meeting some
:03:59. > :04:02.fans. I am with the One Show tonight. Do your hair. Come over
:04:03. > :04:07.here because I am trying to make dreams come true for some people.
:04:08. > :04:14.Come and meet little Charlie, the biggest Star Wars fan in the
:04:15. > :04:20.universe. How are you most admire is it all about the selfie today? I
:04:21. > :04:31.would say the selfie, because then you know you were with them. I
:04:32. > :04:36.present to you, Mr Peter Mayhew. If you check on eBay tomorrow, you will
:04:37. > :04:43.see all this. I have just seen the boss, JJ Abrams. Tell us about your
:04:44. > :04:48.first memory of Star Wars. My first memory was going to the theatre at
:04:49. > :04:51.almost 11 years old. I went in, thinking the world was one thing,
:04:52. > :04:59.and I came out feeling like anything was possible. And who knew that you
:05:00. > :05:04.would be directing and co-writing one in the future? Absolutely
:05:05. > :05:11.insane. Not as cuddly as the real thing. I am here with the Star Wars
:05:12. > :05:15.creator, Mr George Lucas. Great to be here. I am interested in the
:05:16. > :05:18.fans, they are so passionate. How does it feel to have made such a
:05:19. > :05:25.difference in so many people's lives? It feels great. What else can
:05:26. > :05:36.I say, except maybe they are all crazy? It is Anthony Daniels, C-3PO.
:05:37. > :05:41.How about a selfie with me? Yes! More importantly, I can have one
:05:42. > :05:49.with the fans. Wasn't that lovely? We were only
:05:50. > :05:56.kidding earlier. We also want to say hello to Granville's son, Leroy,
:05:57. > :06:01.played by James Baxter. We are going to stick on the Star Wars theme,
:06:02. > :06:08.because a little bird tells us that you have sat in the new Millennium
:06:09. > :06:18.Falcon. I might have. How? We were filming at Pinewood. Name-dropper!
:06:19. > :06:25.In the lunch break that we had... For Open All Hours? Yes, me and
:06:26. > :06:29.Johnny slipped off and got in there. Johnny Vegas? Yes. We were meant to
:06:30. > :06:40.be with the director but he wasn't there. He didn't turn up. The
:06:41. > :06:47.director of Star Wars? Yes. How tight was security? It was mental.
:06:48. > :06:53.They ask you if you have your phone on you. And they have a sticker that
:06:54. > :07:00.they put round your camera, and it changes colour if you take it off,
:07:01. > :07:07.so they know. A picture here, a picture there. A picture everywhere.
:07:08. > :07:14.It is like that on the set of Open All Hours! It is when he is there.
:07:15. > :07:17.You are back, taking over from Arkwright, owning the shop, Sir
:07:18. > :07:21.David. The relationship between you and Ronnie Barker was key. How do
:07:22. > :07:29.you find working with James? Terrible. If I could have recast it
:07:30. > :07:35.on the first day, I would have done but I was outvoted. He doesn't look
:07:36. > :07:47.like me. He doesn't look like anybody. Your eyes are similar. No,
:07:48. > :07:55.the idea is a relationship tween Granville and Arkwright, and when I
:07:56. > :08:00.played him, as Granville, was either Sun, or was I not? In order keep
:08:01. > :08:06.that going, we have introduced that idea with Leroy and Granville. In
:08:07. > :08:15.order to get a comic relationship going. Because you do need somebody
:08:16. > :08:22.that acts as... All of the great comedy duos have always been two,
:08:23. > :08:29.really. That is obvious, if they are a duo! You need a foil, someone to
:08:30. > :08:34.bounce off. That is why we needed someone. You couldn't really do it,
:08:35. > :08:42.you see, with a female, present company excepted. I mean, if it had
:08:43. > :08:47.been you... Thank you so much for not turning up for that audition. It
:08:48. > :08:55.means you can do a lot more physical and be rude. I could take it. You
:08:56. > :09:04.are out in the next series. Let's have a look at you both in action.
:09:05. > :09:12.Let me have a look. That may there. I can see through here what you were
:09:13. > :09:18.doing last night. Good grief! No wonder you are tired. I was home
:09:19. > :09:23.early last night. Anyway, if you dare and leave me in charge, why
:09:24. > :09:24.don't I go for the trip? Because you will come back with some clapped out
:09:25. > :09:43.way. I want a tree... Brilliant stuff. Special
:09:44. > :09:49.relationships have been part of the show's TNA. You and Ronnie were
:09:50. > :09:55.absolutely special. He wrote you a lovely poem when he found out you
:09:56. > :09:58.were to be knighted. You put this in your water biography. Can we read it
:09:59. > :10:07.out, because it is the most beautiful words? Please do. He was a
:10:08. > :10:13.special man and he taught me a lot. Our relationship was so special that
:10:14. > :10:15.he felt, well, in his heart, I suppose, to write me a few little
:10:16. > :10:19.personal notes. Here we go. And truly say
:10:20. > :10:56."Good Knight from him." It has got us all. We have all gone.
:10:57. > :11:02.And that poem was actually read out on the day. Yes. One of the great
:11:03. > :11:07.things was, he wrote me two or three special notes and he penned them
:11:08. > :11:12.himself. That was one of the great gifts he had. Not only was he a
:11:13. > :11:15.great comedy actor and a wonderful, warm person, but he did have that
:11:16. > :11:21.tremendous ability to communicate with the written word, which,
:11:22. > :11:27.unfortunately, people like myself don't have that facility, not that
:11:28. > :11:32.good. That's why we have to have special people like Roy Clark, who
:11:33. > :11:38.has written for us in Open All Hours. So I do have to raise my hat
:11:39. > :11:43.to people who can command the written word. One thing you are
:11:44. > :11:49.incredibly good at his physical comedy, which we will talk about in
:11:50. > :11:57.a little while. Thank you, James, for popping in. Thanks for having
:11:58. > :12:03.me. You can see Still Open All Hours on Boxing Day at 8pm. Front-page
:12:04. > :12:07.news today is that the tax man and his helpers are apparently not doing
:12:08. > :12:14.enough to assist people. Lucy went to find out if there is any festive
:12:15. > :12:18.cheer for those contacting HMRC. If you are self-employed, you will
:12:19. > :12:21.know only too well that December is not just about Christmas, but also
:12:22. > :12:30.about filling in the dreaded tax return. This is a busy accountancy
:12:31. > :12:34.firm in Birmingham. At this time of year, getting through to the tax
:12:35. > :12:38.office with queries is crucial and can be infuriating. So we are going
:12:39. > :12:46.to test exactly how long it takes to get a response.
:12:47. > :12:52.The first quarter of this year was unacceptably poor. That frank
:12:53. > :12:55.admission from the woman who runs HMRC was made to MPs about why more
:12:56. > :13:06.than half of all helpline calls went unanswered. But she had a solution.
:13:07. > :13:09.For general information, web chat, information on our websites and
:13:10. > :13:16.tweeting, they are ways to let people know things quickly.
:13:17. > :13:20.Tweeting? Really? The team this accountancy service in Birmingham
:13:21. > :13:24.are going to help me with an unscientific The One Show test,
:13:25. > :13:31.putting real-life tax queries to HMRC by phone, tweaked and web chat.
:13:32. > :13:38.Are you ready, team? Three, two, one. Go.
:13:39. > :13:42.I need help completing my self-assessment return. The
:13:43. > :13:49.challenge with Twitter is getting your query into 140 characters. Am I
:13:50. > :13:54.not speaking clearly? The trouble with the web chat is that I do not
:13:55. > :13:57.know where to ask the question. No response to the tweaked yet. I don't
:13:58. > :14:11.believe anybody can help me at this point. What is the longest time you
:14:12. > :14:15.have waited? I would probably say 75 minutes. One hour and 15 minutes. We
:14:16. > :14:25.put the loudspeaker on and got on with some other work. How do you
:14:26. > :14:31.feel about using social media to get some of your clients' queries
:14:32. > :14:36.answered? I think people want to be able to make sure they are getting
:14:37. > :14:40.an answer that is relevant to them. We are doing our testing office
:14:41. > :14:45.hours. You can expect to wait longer if you ring after 6pm. Three months
:14:46. > :14:52.ago Tom the consumer Association carried out their own survey. We
:14:53. > :14:56.called HMRC 100 times and found the average time it takes to get through
:14:57. > :15:03.to wheel person was 38 minutes. In five calls took longer than an hour,
:15:04. > :15:08.and none of the calls was shorter than 15 minutes. So, if the promised
:15:09. > :15:11.to improve holds true, we should get through quicker.
:15:12. > :15:18.I have had some replies to my tweets. It is nice that other
:15:19. > :15:23.consumers are helping you. I feel less alone, but I have not had a
:15:24. > :15:30.reply from HMRC. It is almost ten minutes. Yeah. Hello? After 16
:15:31. > :15:35.minutes, I'm through. I have a query... Not bad, at least my call's
:15:36. > :15:39.been answered. Thank you so much for your help, brilliant. Thank you.
:15:40. > :15:46.Bye. That was very good. But that lady
:15:47. > :15:49.referred me to YouTube. Why did I spend quarter of an hour on the
:15:50. > :15:55.phone when I could have gone to YouTube?
:15:56. > :16:03.All of us got through. So over half an hour gone. Let's have a audit of
:16:04. > :16:07.where we are at. I got through in six minutes, so that is impressive.
:16:08. > :16:11.Twitter took 24 minutes. It took me 25 minute s to get through on the
:16:12. > :16:16.phone and 14 minutes to get through on webchat. 14 minutes. So, I got
:16:17. > :16:20.through on the phone after 16 minutes and I'm still waiting for
:16:21. > :16:25.any Twitter response. Well after half an hour. How does that compare
:16:26. > :16:28.with your results? It does look like HMRC are improving, they told us
:16:29. > :16:31.they were getting 3,000 more staff to work on the call centres and that
:16:32. > :16:36.does seem to be working because we are getting quicker calls today by
:16:37. > :16:40.phone. Should we stop giving them such a hard time? Given we have six
:16:41. > :16:43.weeks until the end of the tax return, we need to keep on the
:16:44. > :16:47.pressure. But they are responding. So a month on from that humbling
:16:48. > :16:53.apology, the tax men and women are trying, maybe they are due a
:16:54. > :16:58.Christmas chocolate. I wonder if they will fill in a form for me! A
:16:59. > :17:04.little bit of festive cheer. They could do with some tinsel! Sir
:17:05. > :17:08.David, we had Harry Hill on a few nights ago. We were talking about
:17:09. > :17:13.the resurgence of physical comedy and this I know has been a passion
:17:14. > :17:23.of yours for a long time. We couldn't have you on without playing
:17:24. > :17:28.this clip. Here we go. I think we are on a winner here,
:17:29. > :17:31.Trig. Play it nice and cool, son. Nice and cool. Know what I mean?
:17:32. > :17:49.LAUGHTER Every time! Every single time. We
:17:50. > :17:55.have seen it so many times. What's the formula for a fantastic physical
:17:56. > :18:00.gag like that one? Well, there are two things about why I'm very
:18:01. > :18:04.interested in visual comedy. (A) is because I spent most of my life
:18:05. > :18:10.doing it. I have always been fascinated by it from like Laurel
:18:11. > :18:15.and Hardy. One of the things about it is that it can appeal
:18:16. > :18:18.across-the-board, across the world to everybody, you don't have to
:18:19. > :18:22.understand the language, you don't have to know whether it's English,
:18:23. > :18:27.German, Dutch, or whatever it is. No. That clip could travel the world
:18:28. > :18:32.and every country in the world people will laugh at it, it is
:18:33. > :18:38.because it's descriptive but to do it, to do it takes quite a lot of
:18:39. > :18:45.interesting... How long were you rehearsing that scene for? That
:18:46. > :18:49.didn't really come about - there's a longer story. But the point that I
:18:50. > :18:54.was able to do it is because whenever I was on stage years ago, I
:18:55. > :18:58.spent a lot of time in summer seasons and things, whenever I could
:18:59. > :19:03.do it, I manipulated a moment in time because there's always a settee
:19:04. > :19:07.in a farce at the front of the stage and I would always manipulate to
:19:08. > :19:12.lean on the settee and lean, pretend to lean, then fall, it's always a
:19:13. > :19:18.big laugh! When we did that, the trick of it is, you will notice that
:19:19. > :19:25.when he does it, it's not cruel because, look, he never looks where
:19:26. > :19:29.he's going. Now, in order to do that - I am not suggesting you should do
:19:30. > :19:35.this at home - you have to go against your instinct because when
:19:36. > :19:39.you reach that point there, where I was, your instincts normally take
:19:40. > :19:43.over, which is your arm comes out, your head turns and your knee comes
:19:44. > :19:49.out to save your head. What makes it funny is that he decides not to do
:19:50. > :19:55.any of that and so he becomes, look, he is an idiot! It will fill us with
:19:56. > :19:59.joy for many, many years. For years and years. There you are. There's a
:20:00. > :20:05.quick explanation for you. Thank you. I won't tell you anymore of my
:20:06. > :20:08.secrets so carry on! We will make sure the back of that settee is in
:20:09. > :20:12.the same position there. Now, back in the day, when Sir David was
:20:13. > :20:17.driving around Peckham, his motor of choice was an old three-wheeler. And
:20:18. > :20:21.as it happens, it is parked outside there, which we will get to later.
:20:22. > :20:25.Already tonight we have been talking about Star Wars, but Trigger would
:20:26. > :20:31.have been surprised to hear a car with three wheels could turn up in a
:20:32. > :20:42.galaxy far, far away. The Bond Bug. Three wheels, a 750cc
:20:43. > :20:48.engine and a top speed of 76mph. In 1970, it was the coolest thing in
:20:49. > :20:53.modern motoring. But it's lasting legacy would be as the hidden heart
:20:54. > :20:59.from a vehicle a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. The Star Wars
:21:00. > :21:07.landspeeder. STAR WARS-ESQUE
:21:08. > :21:20.MUSIC Star Wars' universe was conjured
:21:21. > :21:24.from the imagination of George Lucas. He made most of the film in
:21:25. > :21:28.Britain and many British engineers and designers were brought in to
:21:29. > :21:34.bring his world to life. They created hundreds of new models and
:21:35. > :21:39.they searched for ordinary vehicles they could turn into alien craft.
:21:40. > :21:47.One of those vehicles was the already very alien-looking Bond Bug.
:21:48. > :21:52.Reliant, the company behind the Bug, emphasised its unique style by
:21:53. > :22:01.producing it in one colour. A very 1970s tangerine. For ?629, you could
:22:02. > :22:07.get the experience of driving a sports car. Because it's only got
:22:08. > :22:11.three wheels, you could drive a Bug on a motorcycle licence. Owners
:22:12. > :22:22.raved about the driving experience of the Bond Bug. It became an
:22:23. > :22:27.instant classic. The Bug's designer was Tom. His design skills caught
:22:28. > :22:33.the attention of the Star Wars production team. I had a fabulous
:22:34. > :22:38.model shop and Star Wars ran out of capacity for getting models made so
:22:39. > :22:42.they came to us to get help. In the film there is something called the
:22:43. > :22:50.landspeeder, an ideal platform for that was the Bond Bug, which we had
:22:51. > :22:57.designed. It was one of my most enjoyable projects. It was a nice
:22:58. > :23:01.little vehicle that suited the landspeeder. We stripped the body
:23:02. > :23:14.off and so they got us to make a fibre glass body to put it on a Bond
:23:15. > :23:19.Bug chassis. They put a mirror under it so it looked as if it was
:23:20. > :23:23.floating above the ground in the film. When you first saw the film,
:23:24. > :23:27.what did you think? I loved the vehicles. I think they were designed
:23:28. > :23:37.beautifully. I went to sleep for part of the film as well! It wasn't
:23:38. > :23:43.quite my kind of film, frankly. 38 years later, the Bug is a well-loved
:23:44. > :23:47.classic. Members of the Bug Club get together at rallies across the world
:23:48. > :23:56.to compare notes on their turbo-powered tricycles. How's it
:23:57. > :24:01.going? Fine. Good to see you. This is an impressive line-up? It's a
:24:02. > :24:07.beautiful line-up. It is not often you see 11 like this. What is the
:24:08. > :24:11.Bug Club? It's a group of enthusiasts who fell in love with
:24:12. > :24:18.the car like I did. People modify them? Definitely. You never find two
:24:19. > :24:22.Bond Bugs the same. Only 2,268 of these futuristic gems ever rolled
:24:23. > :24:27.off the production line. Today, they are a rare collector's item and part
:24:28. > :24:32.of their appeal will always be their starring role in Star Wars. Do you
:24:33. > :24:36.like the idea there is a hidden bit of heritage within Star Wars that
:24:37. > :24:40.will forever be the Bug? It is always nice to know people will
:24:41. > :24:46.remember that film, it is nice to think the Bond Bug will be part of
:24:47. > :24:51.it. I love them. David, your car is
:24:52. > :24:56.outside. That little film gave us an idea. So let's play a part of it
:24:57. > :25:01.again. They did a very clever thing, they put a mirror under it so it
:25:02. > :25:05.looked as if it was floating above the ground in the film. So, no
