:00:00. > :00:22.Hello and welcome to The One Show with Alex Jones. And Matt Baker. We
:00:23. > :00:25.would just like to start the show offering a huge thanks to everyone
:00:26. > :00:27.who donated their money to Children In Need this year. The grand total
:00:28. > :00:48.raised so far is: we cannot thank everybody
:00:49. > :00:52.individually, of course, but if you send in your fundraising photos, we
:00:53. > :00:58.will thank as many of you as we can personally later on.
:00:59. > :01:03.Whatever you were doing to raise money for Children In Need - let us
:01:04. > :01:06.know. And don't forget to add your names and exactly what it was you
:01:07. > :01:14.were doing to the usual address. We have Team Rickshaw, you may have
:01:15. > :01:19.heard the rowdiness. I missed you over the weekend! And also tonight
:01:20. > :01:30.we have a man who knows a thing or two about challenge, please welcome
:01:31. > :01:35.the wonderful Gareth Malone. You look very well! We have to say
:01:36. > :01:44.congratulations because you have had a little baby. Yes, number two, now
:01:45. > :01:47.seven months and thriving. It changes your perspective of Children
:01:48. > :01:55.In Need when you become a father, doesn't it? Luck it really does. I
:01:56. > :02:05.find those videos almost unwatchable. And you got involved.
:02:06. > :02:18.Yes, it made my life really, being on stage doing Mr Blue Sky. He is so
:02:19. > :02:26.talented, isn't he? Yes, and he was so exact, but he was right, it
:02:27. > :02:30.sounded amazing. I think it is a great skill and if you are in a
:02:31. > :02:38.quiet it is so useful to be able to pick it up, but it shouldn't put
:02:39. > :02:47.people off joining. But it helps to read music from sight. We will have
:02:48. > :02:53.a performance from your brand-new choir and it is fantastic. Today we
:02:54. > :02:56.are starting something new because for the next three years we will be
:02:57. > :03:01.following one of the biggest engineering projects happening in
:03:02. > :03:16.Britain today. Who better to have a look around than Marty Jopson.
:03:17. > :03:21.This is the Firth of Forth. One of the most important and busiest
:03:22. > :03:26.waterways in Britain. It is also home to Scotland's biggest
:03:27. > :03:30.engineering project in a generation, the Queensferry Crossing. It may not
:03:31. > :03:37.look like much but when it opens in 2016, this huge ?1.4 billion
:03:38. > :03:41.structure will represent the pinnacle of cutting-edge
:03:42. > :03:45.engineering, and will join the masterpiece of Victorian
:03:46. > :03:51.engineering, the Forth Bridge, and the huge Forth road bridge built in
:03:52. > :03:56.1964. There are already two magnificent bridges across this
:03:57. > :04:03.stretch of water so why do we need another one? The current bridge is
:04:04. > :04:07.supported by two cables which have started to corrode. It is possible
:04:08. > :04:12.to fix them but that would mean closing down the entire bridge for
:04:13. > :04:17.up to four years and potentially costing over ?4 billion. Though the
:04:18. > :04:23.decision was made to simply build a new bridge alongside at almost a
:04:24. > :04:30.third of the price. Unlike the 1960s bridge, the new one has a key
:04:31. > :04:37.advantage built into its design. By using lots of steel cables rather
:04:38. > :04:40.than just two, the design allows the engineers to replace individual
:04:41. > :04:45.cables without having to close down the whole bridge. The cables will be
:04:46. > :04:50.attached to three towers and that is a problem, because they each require
:04:51. > :04:56.huge foundations. Engineers are wrestling with the challenge of how
:04:57. > :05:00.to lay those underwater. To help, they are using this ingenious
:05:01. > :05:07.device. To show you how it works I have got my own Firth of Forth in a
:05:08. > :05:17.fish tank and this plastic Chew is my device. It is a huge metal shoe
:05:18. > :05:28.which allows you to dig out the sea bed and lay the foundations.
:05:29. > :05:32.Engineers pump the concrete in, and pump the remaining water out to
:05:33. > :05:38.create a dry environment in which to work. In the 1880s, the Victorians
:05:39. > :05:44.did things very differently. They didn't have the technology to dig
:05:45. > :05:53.out the sea bed, so instead they sealed it and pumped air in, which
:05:54. > :05:58.pressurised it. Eventually you end up getting right down to the sea
:05:59. > :06:04.bed, you get bubbles coming out, and now it is completely full of air.
:06:05. > :06:10.You can send Victorian now these down to the bottom to dig out the
:06:11. > :06:15.foundations by hand. It was dangerous work. Dark, cramped, and
:06:16. > :06:25.under intense air pressure. The workers suffered from the bends,
:06:26. > :06:29.nitrogen bubbles forming in the blood. But thankfully those days are
:06:30. > :06:36.gone and engineers can now work without fear for their lives. To see
:06:37. > :06:45.the real thing up close, I am going to take it to water. Thomas Nielsen
:06:46. > :06:56.is the lead engineer in charge. Hello, Thomas. With his help, I am
:06:57. > :07:05.going deep below the water line. It is amazing, I love it! How far down
:07:06. > :07:09.are we? We are 14 metres under the water level. Reinforced concrete
:07:10. > :07:18.will help the 200 metre high tower bare its colossal weight and from
:07:19. > :07:27.make it capable of withstanding any collision with ships. In three
:07:28. > :07:32.years, cars will be thundering across the bridge resting on these
:07:33. > :07:35.foundations. It is an enormous engineering challenge and they have
:07:36. > :07:42.a long way to go but we will be watching them every step of the way.
:07:43. > :07:48.Gareth, you were watching in amazement. Can you imagine the
:07:49. > :07:58.acoustics! I bet it is good because the sound would echo around. You
:07:59. > :08:04.could have your next series inside it! Your next series is on at nine
:08:05. > :08:12.o'clock, so where are you tonight? Tonight on BBC Two I am doing the
:08:13. > :08:17.Sainsbury's choir. One of the places we operate in is the warehouse, one
:08:18. > :08:21.is the shop floor, with shelf stackers, then people at the head
:08:22. > :08:27.office, bringing them together to make a choir was a challenge. It is
:08:28. > :08:33.worth mentioning that other supermarket choirs are available!
:08:34. > :08:49.Let's look at this clip where you are deciding what to sing. La la la!
:08:50. > :09:00.It sounds dreadful at the moment but it is fun. Hands up for the Spice
:09:01. > :09:05.Girls. Good God! I was powerless to resist. But you've found the story
:09:06. > :09:12.of an incredible girl that has not been able to sing for ages. It is
:09:13. > :09:16.incredible, a girl who works for Sainsbury's but had been planning to
:09:17. > :09:25.be a professional singer, but she was in a house fire and she had to
:09:26. > :09:30.be intubated and was unable to sing. After that, she was able to get her
:09:31. > :09:35.vocal cords back together and this was the first time she had song. It
:09:36. > :09:40.was very emotional for her to admit to the choir that she had always
:09:41. > :09:46.wanted to be a singer. Then she sings as a soloist, I have just
:09:47. > :09:50.given away the end. It doesn't spoil it! As well as going into workplaces
:09:51. > :09:57.and finding brilliant singers, you have created your own choir and this
:09:58. > :10:03.has been a love of yours for a long time. I have been thinking about
:10:04. > :10:10.this since about 2006. It recreates everything I have done in schools
:10:11. > :10:14.with young people. Who do I say? Who should you sing like? There are no
:10:15. > :10:20.examples of choirs I could think of and I wanted to create a choir that
:10:21. > :10:27.people could aspire to be part of. We have some fantastic choral
:10:28. > :10:30.singers making a brilliant sound. We know you for working wonders with
:10:31. > :10:36.what you have got to work with, but you have selected these people. We
:10:37. > :10:42.listened to the album and it is incredibly emotional. Also, on the
:10:43. > :10:49.corridor I have never seen such a good-looking group of people. Do you
:10:50. > :10:54.know, the audition was rigorous. It was about finding people who could
:10:55. > :10:59.really sing and it just so happened they are very beautiful! But they
:11:00. > :11:03.are wonderful to work with and they are passionate about choirs but they
:11:04. > :11:07.wanted to do something different. When I was at school, the choir was
:11:08. > :11:15.the last word in things that were not cool. I wanted to create a choir
:11:16. > :11:20.that would be acceptable for people to say that they wanted to be part
:11:21. > :11:25.of it. It is still a choral sound, it is not like listening to Miley
:11:26. > :11:31.Cyrus. You have a modern twist because they are up-to-date tracks.
:11:32. > :11:41.Yes, but you wouldn't know it necessarily. The Keane song is
:11:42. > :11:48.beautiful, really lovely, and our soloist has done a fantastic job of
:11:49. > :11:53.singing it. Even Garrett himself sings! So, the album Voices is
:11:54. > :11:59.available now, and his television series, Sing While You're At Work,
:12:00. > :12:04.continues on BBC Two tonight at nine o'clock. Shortly we will be chatting
:12:05. > :12:14.to Team Rickshaw, and they have become more sporty after riding 700
:12:15. > :12:18.miles. Look at Carol! After the news that half of the men on the London
:12:19. > :12:24.police force were overweight, a new fitness test has been enforced for
:12:25. > :12:30.Britain's Bobbies. Not that Iwan Thomas thought much of it. I have
:12:31. > :12:34.made a living of being fast and fit, but if I had not been an athlete I
:12:35. > :12:40.was going to be a policeman. Today I will find out if I am fit enough
:12:41. > :12:43.because a new compulsory test is coming in to prove fitness. They
:12:44. > :12:56.basically have to do the bleep test. You run between 15 metre
:12:57. > :13:05.points, and these officers have to reach a level of 5.4. It measures
:13:06. > :13:09.your ability to take in oxygen. The longer these officers can keep
:13:10. > :13:14.going, the fitter it shows they are. Last year the government
:13:15. > :13:17.commissioned Tom Windsor to write a report into Belize pay and
:13:18. > :13:22.conditions. He recommended that every member of the police should
:13:23. > :13:29.have a fitness test every year, not just jawing the recruitment process.
:13:30. > :13:34.All ranks have to pass the test, this includes senior detectives
:13:35. > :13:39.through to special constables. I am feeling a bit nervous today but we
:13:40. > :13:50.will get through it. When is the last time you did it? 13 years ago.
:13:51. > :13:57.How often do you run per week? About twice per week. I'm hoping it won't
:13:58. > :14:02.be a problem. Officers have to run 540 metres in 3.5 minutes, that's
:14:03. > :14:09.level 5.4 so I thought I would have a go. Every 100 metres, the test
:14:10. > :14:17.speeds up. The machine has stopped, I think I got to level 9.5. I am
:14:18. > :14:20.beginning to breathe a bit but if I am honest I don't think I have got
:14:21. > :14:24.anything to worry about, no disrespect to the fitness level
:14:25. > :14:28.required, but I found it quite easy. The test itself is under scrutiny.
:14:29. > :14:35.The Police Federation is concerned it is not reflective of the fitness
:14:36. > :14:40.requirements for the job. I have worked in this job for 25 years and
:14:41. > :14:46.I have never chased a burglar 15 metres one way and 15 metres the
:14:47. > :14:53.other way, it tends to be over fences and through gardens. We do
:14:54. > :14:58.want our officers to be fit. A lot of the gym services have been taken
:14:59. > :15:03.away from police stations. There are some nervous people there for
:15:04. > :15:11.definite. The one on the end, I think is very nervous. The main
:15:12. > :15:15.thing in the early stages to just do enough to be ahead of the beat, but
:15:16. > :15:25.to not use up more energy than you need. One is being very sensible -
:15:26. > :15:28.or lagging behind a bit! I think the anticipation is actually the worst
:15:29. > :15:50.bit, thinking that it is going to be hard. But it's not.
:15:51. > :15:58.That's the end of the test, and yes, that's as fast as it gets. From next
:15:59. > :16:01.September, if you fail the test three times, you could be
:16:02. > :16:05.disciplined, no matter what your rank. Luckily for this Chief
:16:06. > :16:12.superintendent, he nailed it first time. What level did you get to?
:16:13. > :16:21.10.5. So the test for you would be a doddle. It is a doddle, but it is a
:16:22. > :16:25.minimum standard. There is a broad spectrum of people in the
:16:26. > :16:30.organisation, whatever age or gender, and they should be able to
:16:31. > :16:34.achieve it. I think it is important that we can achieve exactly what is
:16:35. > :16:41.demanded of our officers. Everybody here passed the test today. You did
:16:42. > :16:48.it? I did it. You were breathing quite heavily, but you did it. A bit
:16:49. > :16:54.under pressure because the cameras were here, but I did it. I dug deep.
:16:55. > :17:00.That was a walk in the park for you, wasn't it? It was a struggle, but
:17:01. > :17:06.you do put yourself under pressure, because it is something we have to
:17:07. > :17:11.do in our job. Anything that keeps police fit has got to be a good
:17:12. > :17:18.thing. And the good news is, I'm fit enough to be a copper! I'm off to
:17:19. > :17:25.catch some baddies! He is a professional athlete,
:17:26. > :17:32.though. Here's the final instalment, the round-up if you like, of the
:17:33. > :17:38.Rickshaw Challenge 2013. This is what the Giants Causeway
:17:39. > :17:47.looks like at 4:30am on Friday. Here is Team Rickshaw! Morning! Born with
:17:48. > :17:56.only one fully formed limb, his right leg, Martin faces a challenge
:17:57. > :18:01.just to ride and steer the rickshaw. I'm just working through the brakes
:18:02. > :18:04.and beginners. It is Alex who helps push the rickshaw through the
:18:05. > :18:17.night, and there's some surprising roadside company. I think we've got
:18:18. > :18:21.cows running up to us. Good morning! With Bethany, we don't work in
:18:22. > :18:28.miles, we don't work in minutes, we work in songs. Bethany's mum Amanda
:18:29. > :18:40.is given the task of taking us up to the highest point of the entire 700
:18:41. > :18:53.mile route. Come on, darling! Three, two, one... Yes! You've done it!
:18:54. > :18:57.Wonderful. On day four, the weather suddenly took a turn for the worse.
:18:58. > :19:06.Team Rickshaw were behind schedule, and it poured. And we also
:19:07. > :19:11.encountered setbacks after setback. Are you OK, darling? During the
:19:12. > :19:15.Rickshaw Challenge, some of what we learnt about the riders also came as
:19:16. > :19:20.news to their parents, especially about Eleanor. I think I was 15, and
:19:21. > :19:29.I had had a really rubbish day at school, and I just ended up
:19:30. > :19:36.self-harming. Did you know that Eleanor was using ChildLine? I have
:19:37. > :19:44.never told anyone that. That is the first I heard. It is disappointing
:19:45. > :19:47.that we didn't discuss it that the time. This whole challenges are
:19:48. > :19:56.starting to bring everything out now. You are competitive. No other
:19:57. > :20:00.way to be. The memories of when Denny was rushed to hospital with
:20:01. > :20:08.meningitis are still upsetting for his mum. He was put to sleep to rest
:20:09. > :20:17.his brain. I was thinking, that's my son. It was hard when they put him
:20:18. > :20:25.to sleep. The support we received on the street has been phenomenal.
:20:26. > :20:31.Since the accident, I am nervous about having accidents. Every time
:20:32. > :20:36.you get on that bike, you go from strength to strength. Before, I was
:20:37. > :20:41.almost -- I was always blaming myself, and felt guilty. I wouldn't
:20:42. > :20:46.want someone else to go what -- to go through what I did without the
:20:47. > :20:51.support. You should know that your mum would be incredibly proud of
:20:52. > :21:04.what you are doing. That's what he does. Hello! Hello, everybody. The
:21:05. > :21:08.support is just amazing. It seemed impossible at times, but together,
:21:09. > :21:12.we have peddled on. As well as raising lots and lots of cash for
:21:13. > :21:23.BBC Children In Need, we take away more memories than should really fit
:21:24. > :21:28.into one week. I know that that was very difficult for the people around
:21:29. > :21:36.me to sit and watch, but let's have a very warm welcome for Team
:21:37. > :21:39.Rickshaw! Every single one of you wore your hearts on your sleeves,
:21:40. > :21:44.you really did, and opened up and told the most incredible stories,
:21:45. > :21:48.and helps to get to a phenomenal total. Carol, how on earth do you
:21:49. > :21:53.put into context what you have been through in the last week? It was an
:21:54. > :21:57.amazing journey. You learn so much about yourself and your child. We
:21:58. > :22:07.can achieve anything with support, so never give up hope. Daniel, being
:22:08. > :22:14.very nice. I have learnt how much I can push myself now before my mum
:22:15. > :22:21.can push me. Before I get a slap! We will leave it there. We have had the
:22:22. > :22:26.weekend to reflect on it and to have a bath, and rest our muscles. What
:22:27. > :22:30.is the one memory that stands out when you look back at those
:22:31. > :22:36.incredible eight days? It has definitely got to be all standing on
:22:37. > :22:41.Albert Square. We got off the bike, and the final total got read out. We
:22:42. > :22:46.had no idea we had raised as much money as that. It was fantastic. It
:22:47. > :22:50.was a brilliant moment. The good news is we have a brand-new total
:22:51. > :23:01.for Team Rickshaw, because it has gone up since then. It has. It now
:23:02. > :23:09.stands at... ?1,446,027. It is going to get bigger, because this is a
:23:10. > :23:15.wodge of checks. Look at that! Look at the amount of each one. There is
:23:16. > :23:24.another one here for ?1000, so thank you so much for that. Keith, Jeff,
:23:25. > :23:31.it was worth falling off your bike for! Eleanor, your first day back at
:23:32. > :23:36.college today. How different was that? It was so bizarre getting into
:23:37. > :23:41.a normal routine again, and starting to go back to normal. I didn't want
:23:42. > :23:53.to go back. Have you all been signing autographs? Wii no. Bethany,
:23:54. > :24:01.is there anything you want to say? It is good when a team are
:24:02. > :24:12.brilliant, and it is good to be back on a team, because they are my
:24:13. > :24:18.friends, and I love them so much. Well done. Wonderful. Well done
:24:19. > :24:23.again to all of Team Rickshaw. Thank you so much for your efforts. We
:24:24. > :24:29.have got a lovely letter here from Oliver. Dear Matt and Alex, me, my
:24:30. > :24:40.Nan and my grandad have been saving 5p is, and next year we hope to
:24:41. > :24:47.raise more. Gareth has all of the details with his friends. You just
:24:48. > :24:56.need to text the word TEAM to... # 70705!
:24:57. > :25:05.Thank you to everyone out there. There's another couple of people we
:25:06. > :25:11.want to thank for their efforts. We are in Salford. Our mission is to
:25:12. > :25:17.wash as many dogs as possible to raise money for Children In Need. It
:25:18. > :25:21.is a competition, so whoever washes the most dogs and raises the most
:25:22. > :25:29.money, wins. We are ready for battle. This is the great children
:25:30. > :25:36.in dog washing! -- Children In Need washing. This lovely lady here has
:25:37. > :25:43.three dogs, so I am in the lead! Happy days! As the morning goes on,
:25:44. > :25:49.we get a steady stream of business. Some of these dogs are just
:25:50. > :25:52.adorable. I'm worried John is getting ahead of me, so it is time
:25:53. > :26:00.to raise my game as we compete for business. Come with me. If you come
:26:01. > :26:06.with me, you also get a signed picture. If he thinks that is going
:26:07. > :26:10.to work, he's having a laugh. With so many dogs going to John's
:26:11. > :26:18.dogwatch, it's time for some dirty tricks. I've got one more trick up
:26:19. > :26:27.my sleeve that will really slow John down. If you would like to come this
:26:28. > :26:37.way. Is this a wind-up? Are you joking? This is Sam. It is moving
:26:38. > :26:43.and everything! I can't believe we are doing horses as well. We have
:26:44. > :26:57.had a fantastic day down in Salford, and this is the moment of truth.
:26:58. > :27:12.Team Sean actually washed 25. -- 22. Team Johnny washed 23 and a
:27:13. > :27:18.horse! You are on towel duty. Well done. If you do donate, text
:27:19. > :27:23.messages will cost ?5 plus your standard network charge. ?5 will go
