18/08/2014 The One Show

Tonight, we say welcome back to an old friend of the show. Hi all, how

you toing? All right. The maraccas and the straw donkey. Not now, Matt.

Hello, Daniel, lovely to see you. Are you all right? Yes. I'll leave

'em in your dressing room. Welcome to Al Hezbollah Jones and

Matt Baker. How was your hols? It was great.

Tonight, we have got one of the most famous actors in the world and to

welcome him, a team that is on top of the world. England's World Cup

winning rugby team and Daniel Radcliffe.

Welcome. Come on in. Lovely to have you here. Thank you

for having me and welcoming me in that lovely way, incredible. That

will never happen in my life again. We'll talk to the England World Cup

winning team shortly. Lovely to have you with us, thanks for stopping by,

but it's incredible. You were lucky because we were going

to get the girls to lift you up and bring you in here. Which is more

than within their capability. Are you a rugby man? I am a bit, but I'm

a huge American football fan which is, I don't see them as competing,

just see them being infinitely better than football. I'm not a huge

fan of soccer football. Who is your team? The New York Giants who were

not very good last year and will maybe not be this year. That's

something to look forward to. But it's just so athletic and the

gladiatorial thing that is similar to rugby is amazing to watch, like

people slamming into each other at speed. I'm trying to be succinct

because I feel like I ramble while on live television. We all do it.

Half an hourdon't worry. This is 100th anniversary of World War I.

You played a soldier didn't you? I did. We have the footage from the

film. Looks gruelling to film. How was it? I met one of the guys

recently who was many the trenches that they constructed and it was, I

think four of the guys, Irish reserves, the TA guys, I think three

guys went to hospital with hypothermia. It was very cold. I

hasten to add that it was not even, you know, not as bad as the actual

trenches. We were just actors playing and you don't want to

complain. But when you put the gear on and get them wet and realise how

heavy it was. Orbing, I was given the standard issue rifle, an

Enfield, and I could barely at that time, like do anything, it was as

big as me, hefty and hard to use. My character ends up going over the top

into no-man's-land with a revolver with six shots. More compact. The

whole thing was like, oh, this is going to look silly. But yes, it was

a fascinating period to have to learn about and kind of be able to

get involved in. A campaign has been launched to offer Britain's Chinese

allies for the contribution they made during World War I.

We visited Folkestone and discovered that during the Great War, it was

one of the most international places on the planet.

The port of Folkestone on the south coast of England. Just 24 miles

across the channel from France. Today, you can hop on a train and be

in Calais in about 35 minutes. But 100 years ago, during the First

World War, this town's location marked Folkestone out through a

special and critical wartime world that meant that, just for a moment,

this became one of Britain's first cultural melting pots. Hundreds of

thousands of troops and support staff from all around the world

gathered here to await the ships that would take them to war against

Germany. But before they left, they were

given the chance of a final cup of tea on British soil courtesy of two

local sisters. These sisters were so moved by

seeing so many men and women on their way to war that they set up a

free tearoom here by the harbour Michael George is a local historian

who has studied the legacy left behind by these remarkable sisters.

So what is it that we've got here in front of us? Serving trunks and

bites to eat. The sisters kept the visitors books and, over the course

of the war, a total of 43,000 men and women signs these books. It

includes people from the hum blist places from politicians, poets. For

instance, in this volume, volume eight, we see on this page Corporal

Warwick, no fixed abode, he says, and a couple of lines below that, we

have the one and only Winston Churchill.

There are lots of foreign names. They really do give you an idea of

the international nature of the war effort. If you have been in

Folkestone at this period, you would have been rubbing shoulders with all

the nationalities of the world. There would be Russians, Serbians,

Canadians, many, many Canadians. The reason being that Folkestone became

the headquarters of the coo nayed yard expedition force. There were,

at any one time, upward of 50,000 Canadian soldiers in the area,

effectively doubling the size of the town. Folkestone became an

international hub thanks to the British Empire.

It's hard to imagine today but in 1914, Britain still ruled more than

50 nations and young men from every corner of the world were recruited

to fight for King and country. But there's one surprising and often

forgotten group of visitors that really fascinate me and they weren't

even from the British Empire. It's here at the military cemetery on the

edge of Folkestone that we can find the last clue about who they were

and what they were doing here. So these are Chinese characters on

this grave. What are Chinese men doing in a First World War cemetery?

The British Army needed to pump more and more soldiers into the front

line. To do that, we needed to free up some of the men in back office

duties, the drives, the cooks, and the solution was to recruit foreign

labourers and China was the kilocation. We recruited just over

100,000 Chinese and they all came through Folkestone. But most went on

to France and Belgium. They were working behind the Western Front?

Absolutely. We kept some 2000 back who were doing jobs locally. As to

the war, what becomes of it? Part of the deal when recruited was that

they would be offered free passage back to China. Almost to a man, they

headed back for home. It's intriguing to think that

thousands of men from China came through Folkestone during the Great

War and yet all there is to remind us that they were even here are a

few graves in this sell tear. But it's just as intriguing to think

that they were only a small part of a huge influx of people who joust

for a couple of years made a little town like Folkestone one of the most

multiculture and international places in the world --

multicultural. David is with us now. We mentioned at the start about a

campaign being launched to remember the Chinese labourers. How is that

going and where are they at with it now? Just before we came on air, I

called one of the men running the campaign and it's looking really

good. There is support for the Chinese Embassy in Britain, the

Chinese community, the British Chinese community, which is our

oldest ethnic minority community are united behind this knead to feigned

a way to build a memorial. That is the idea to put a memorial up

somewhere? Yes, hopefully in the next few years there'll be an

unveiling of that. For lots of the soldiers we saw who signed the

names, it was only when they got to Folkestone the reality of what was

happening and the scale of the war kicked in, wasn't it? If you put

yourselves in the shoes of a shoulder in the First World War, you

get your call up papers, go get your papers, get on the train, you are

still in a very familiar environment, then you get to

Folkestone and you are in a military camp, they're military policemen,

not civilians, there's Belgian refugees and Canadian soldiers. When

the conditions were right, you could hear the guns from the Western

Front. That must have been a chilling moment.

Yes. I know you are very into World War I anyway, not just the film.

I've always been fascinated by it at school. It's one of the subjects you

learn about. It really hits you. Thinking about the idea that most of

the guys, there would have been a notion of them being excited.

Kipling's dad, he was just a very vocal person in the war. Then his

feelings changed dramatically after what happened. Had you heard about

Folkestone? Not at Saul. You were saying in the film, there were

50,000 Canadians, so there was a twang that had come from the

Canadians, wasn't there? It starts running off and people there started

off saying "sure" rather than "yes". Very good accent there. I've been

working on it! There is still a local connection in the way

Folkestone can remember the Canadians? Yes, every year since

1917, there is a local flower day where the children go to the

cemeteries and lay flowers on the graves. This is 1947 this one? Yes.

This one here? A couple of years ago.

Presumably there is lots of ancestors. First World War there was

a lot of GI brides. Over 1,000 local women married Canadians and many

moved to Canada. There is an unbreakable bond between Canada and

Folkestone now. Thank you for making that film, great to have you in. It

turns out that Dave's also a massive fan of American football so these

lads are going to be chatting well into the night! Face recognition

technology, now this is not just the preserve of action films. No. For

the first time, police in the UK are using it. As Tony discovered, it

doesn't matter where you are, you always need to be on your best

behaviour, because you never know when you'll be recognised.

I'm at the High Cross shopping centre in Leicester and spotted a

young lady who's taken her eye off her hand bag.

No-one's looking are they? But of course they are.

Leicester has around 2,500 CCTV cameras and across Britain there are

almost six million. Let us see how good this clever new

piece of kit is at catching a criminal.

In Leicester, police are first to trial the face recognition. They

take an image of my face and compare it to the others, 92,000, almost

three times the capacity of this place!

If I'd really committed those crimes, the police computer could

now identify me from the CCTV images, as long as I'd been arrested

before. Hilary operates the system for the

force here. How does this thing work? OK, so you've been out and

about in Leicester today. Causing trouble? Yes. So I've been given

some footage of you, taken down at the local football stadium. I threw

a bottle. OK, the computer has put dots on your eyes and measurements

around your face. I'm going to press identify and it will measure you

against 90,000 images. My photograph was taken in a cell

against 90,000 images. My photograph was taken in a so I am now one of

the images you have got. So instantly it's going to say where I

come on the database, ideally number one, not ideally 92,000. So position

22. The computer still thinks there are 21 other people that look like

me than I do. Bit of a through a? -- flaw? It maybe that we find some

females against your image because it's not gender specific. This is

hours of work isn't it? Yes, it's impressive when you consider how

long it will take you to look through there. What success rate

have you had? We are in a trial period at the moment but hitting

around 44% of the ones we've gone through. We have gone back to

investigators and said, here are some potential suspects. Since May,

nearly 300 suspects have been put through the system, but on their

own, any matches from this system don't stand up in court. Chief

Inspector Chris Cockrel is in charge of the trial. Why can't it be used

in evidence? If there is enough evidence, we will move into the

normal procedures of identification, so that is the

admissible evidence. Those people on the database, 90,000 of them, do

they have any argument about invasion of privacy on the system?

We abide by the Data Protection Act and our images are lawfully held.

There is a lot of governments around this and I hope it reassures people

that it is not Big Brother. At the end of the day, somebody has been

the victim of a crime. In the UK, this system is only on trial with

the Leicestershire Police force but there has orally been some success

in the US. In Chicago, this system was used to convict and identify an

armed robber. He was caught on CCTV cameras robbing two men at gunpoint.

Back in the UK, this yet -- the Association of Chief Police Officers

say the used more widely around the country is under review.

Daniel has come up with a brilliant way of getting around this problem.

Being recognised and stuff. It is not an invisibility cloak! It is, in

fact, this... Spiderman! That is me! I wanted to go down on the floor and

actually experience the show. But that is not going to happen if I am

just walking around looking like me. So I just thought I would do some

childish stuff and play Spiderman for a bit. It works a treat! I would

have made a great Spiderman, wouldn't I? You have a bit of a

history of dressing up... Are we going to show it? If I happen to put

this particular thing on... He looks a bit like Josh Grogan! People ask

me to sing to them wherever I go! Let's move on. We saw your brand-new

film called What If. We both loved it and have theories about it. It is

a definite romantic comedy blokes can enjoy. Thank you for saying

that. I hope so. Men went been dragged to this like usual! This is

very balanced so both stories are told equally. I think there is a

pressure on... Men off under less interesting characters in these and

I don't think... I hope that is not the case in this one! I think me and

the other guys in it, I don't know, it is a good mail take on things.

Let's take a look. I have been with bend for five years

and I totally get guys don't want to hang out with a girl with a

boyfriend. -- with Ben. But it sucks. It makes you feel like the

only thing that is interesting about you is how you look with your

clothes on. It would be easier to make friends with a boyfriend

because there is no confusion. That is it?! That is your big pitch to be

my friend?! That's terrible! I know. I practised in the mirror.

Friends? Why not. Friends. Friends. That is the keyword. Put it

into perspective. My character meets her character at a party and we

really hit it off at the beginning. There is that instant chemistry and

connection. It is obvious they fancy each other. On the way home, she

drops in the news that she has a boyfriend and all men have

experienced that moment! My character resets his expectations of

the situation and he says, well, this person makes me really happy so

I don't want to give up being in her company but I can't be with her, so

I will attempt to be just friends. And that is then coming to that

agreement. It has plenty of laughs but at the end, it is pretty

emotional. Thank you. In the final speech, I love that because that is

what I feel like I want to see the characters say in every movie like

this and they never do, and I actually got to in this film. It is

very funny. And there is a real camaraderie between all the actors

in there and a great feeling. I can't help thinking back to the time

when you were doing Harry Potter with that group. How did that

experience compare? I have been really lucky in every job. The film

crew I worked with and the crew, they became like a second family.

But every film set, when it is good, does become like a small family. You

slam together for a few weeks. It is a very intense experience. You get

to know people ready well and some people you never talk to again and

others become your best mate. So it is a really intense, close world.

I'm lucky every job I've had has been a great experience. This one, I

got to eat loads of greasy Sam Burgess! What are they called? Falls

told. You code one half of bread with an entire jar of peanut butter

and the other half with an entire pot of jam and then you get some

bacon and bake it together. Calorific? Apparently it is how

Elvis died! I don't think it was solely responsible! Enough of them

will have that effect! And you met your current girlfriend on the set

of Kill Your Darling. You started off as friends, platonic. You made

the first move? I was probably making the first move in terms of

just, you know, being polite and English and like a gentleman,

opening doors, pulling out shares. Just being nice and flirting. I

think it was a mutual first move. She is a lucky girl. Thank you! I

will tell her that! You have worked with lots of actors including this

man. He is a friend of the show - Warwick Davis. Tonight he takes us

back to where his film career first started, and it was in his back

garden. I am Warwick Davis and I have come

back to the house where I grew up. Wow! It really does feel familiar.

Whoa! This looks really different in here. They used to be another step

here, so you would be on a higher level. -- there used to be. And this

was my stage. We basically used to dance to the entire top 40. Can you

imagine it? Doing the Rod Stewart song If You Want My Body And Think

I'm Sexy. You can still hear it now! I had a lot of energy. I was like a

little bird. There was never really a moment when I was sitting still

unless I was watching telly. If I sit here... I used to watch TV here.

Terry was more of an event then. -- television. The big night on

Wednesday because Rentaghost was on. And they used to squeeze their nose

to disappear. Just like... Oh! I'm on the landing. That was my

sister's room and this was mine. My old bedroom. Wow! All I used to have

there was a old with an -- and it was orange. I felt like I was living

on a dual carriageway! My mum worked hard. To get us to school. She

worked in an estate agents. She used to do a lot of work for me as an

agent till I was 17 or 18. My dad was an insurance broker working in

the city of London but eventually the pressure got a bit too much for

him and he started to take up number jacking. -- lumberjack in. Brought

himself a chainsaw. Started chopping down trees for people. I was born

with a condition of the which results in me being a lot shorter

than average. And this was 1970. So the doctors did not understand

anything about what was up with me, really. They said, you probably

won't live to being beyond the teenager. It must have been quite

difficult for my parents. But I guess it didn't faze them because

they didn't wrap me in cotton wool. They gave me the most normal

childhood. My dad in particular was very much of the attitude, get on

with it. They sent me to chant Hirst school and I got already well there.

The teacher are great and they didn't see my height as an obstacle.

They were the same attitude as parents. Come on, have a go! I was a

champion at chin ups because I have great upper body strength and that

climbing up to reach stuff. But nobody weight so I could outdo

anyone. -- but a low woody weight. I was really into Star Wars and I got

the chance to be in return of the Jedi because of my grandmother. They

will King for short people to be in a Star Wars movie. -- they were

looking. And a couple of weeks, I was with my on-screen heroes. I got

the part and I thought quite carefully about the E wok and the

character. My dog Brandy would tilt his head from side to side so I

started doing that a lot. It worked perfectly for the character. I

bought a video camera with the money I had earned on the film. As a kid,

I was making films all the time. The guard was one of my main locations,

and just being here, this Bush was where one of my films was set, right

here. It was a spoof of the milk Tray commercial. When this character

brought the Lady milk Tray, she didn't like them! That was it! It

was all because the lady hated milk Tray! Coming back here today

reminded me how great my mum and dad were. Free range to do whatever I

wanted. All those experiences have come together to make me the person

I am now. He's a legend, isn't he? Honestly!

That rickshaw challenge, he was so supportive. He kept me going. And

Rentaghost! What taste he has! Just quickly, this is the

Rentaghost! What taste he has! Just quickly, this is women's Rugby World

Cup winners. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Before we talk rugby, CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Before we talk just very quickly, favourite children's programme?

I love Biker Mice From Mars. Fresh Prince Of Bel Air. Byker Grove! The

Queen 's Nose. To the best team in the world now. Well done! Has it

sunk in? Because this was in Paris, wasn't it, yesterday? Has it sunk

in? Not really. We had just won the game... Now feeling a bit sore. What

did you do straight after the game? Cuddle, cried... Was it a good night

in Paris? Some champagne. For those who don't know, this has been a long

time coming. Is this the fourth time you got the final without

victorious? Yes, 20 years ago was the last time. And a lot of girls

have been around for the last three or four of them. What was different

this time? I think the fuel was different. It is a massive judgement

about the feeling and we had prepared so well. -- the feeling.

And the best in the world but still you can't do it as a full-time job

like the men can, annoyingly! So when are you back? Beginning of

September? You are teachers? Yes, back tomorrow or tonight for some of

them. Even the pro-minister tweeted. Daniel, in your best Prime Minister

voice. Huge congratulations to the first World Cup triumph for the

women. Congratulations to all of you! Thank you for joining us. We

know you want to be back with your families. Thank you so much for

watching tonight. Thank you to Daniel. We will be back tomorrow

with Lenny Henry. Good night. MUSIC: "It Don't Mean A Thing"
