:00:19. > :00:24.Hello and welcome to the One Show with Alex Jones and Matt Baker.
:00:24. > :00:31.Tonight, a man who in a long career in politics and in front of the
:00:31. > :00:36.camera has always had a winning smile. Each day, Ribena hopes to
:00:36. > :00:43.build young limbs, straight and true. Strong bones and good teeth.
:00:43. > :00:49.What a lovely set of strong teeth. Michael Portillo. That was actually
:00:49. > :00:55.you in that commercial. Es. I was eight years old advertising Ribena.
:00:55. > :01:02.Which of course builds strong teeth! And do you still have strong
:01:02. > :01:07.teeth? Those were my baby teeth. were surprised to learn that you
:01:07. > :01:12.were a child actor. There was the only thing I did. The lady across
:01:13. > :01:17.the street was a talent agent. She got me a load of interviews. I went
:01:17. > :01:22.for a movie. I think I did nine different interviews, auditions. I
:01:22. > :01:25.just got one part, to do that. It was just one shot, and that was all
:01:26. > :01:31.that there was in the entire commercial. Very good, very
:01:31. > :01:35.convincing. It used to play in the middle of Coronation Street, when
:01:35. > :01:39.Coronation Street had 30 million viewers. Later, Michael will be
:01:39. > :01:46.telling us about his Great British Railway Journeys, and later he will
:01:46. > :01:54.be taking a surprise Career Move, joining these lads. JLS are in
:01:54. > :01:58.tonight. Looking forward to that. First, we thought we would send Joe
:01:58. > :02:02.Crowley on a train journey. Although Michael has travelled the
:02:02. > :02:12.length and breadth of the country, he will not have travelled on this
:02:12. > :02:14.
:02:14. > :02:19.With passenger journeys nearly doubling in the last 15 years, many
:02:19. > :02:25.of us are used to queuing for tickets. Return to Paddington,
:02:25. > :02:30.please. Jostling for space on the platform. And realising that yet
:02:30. > :02:38.again there is not a spare seat to be had. However, something strange
:02:38. > :02:42.seems to be going on. Where are the other passengers? It appears I have
:02:42. > :02:47.just stepped on to one of Britain's ghost trains. It is not haunted. It
:02:47. > :02:51.is a service that normally runs with very few passengers. Often,
:02:51. > :02:54.there are more staff than passengers on board. I am curious.
:02:54. > :03:04.I want to do ahead count and see who has got on the train with me
:03:04. > :03:10.this morning. Morning. Two. The reason the train is so empty is
:03:10. > :03:15.that it is a one-off. Three. This trainer only operates once per day,
:03:15. > :03:21.and outside of peak commuting hours. Eight. A total of eight people on
:03:21. > :03:24.board, not including myself or the conductor. These ghost trains are
:03:24. > :03:29.actually known as parliamentary trains, but it has nothing to do
:03:29. > :03:33.with transporting MPs around the country. The term comes from the
:03:33. > :03:37.1844 Railway Act and it refers to services train companies had to
:03:37. > :03:42.operate by law. Independent travel journalist Simon Calder has made it
:03:42. > :03:46.on board to give me his opinions on parliamentary trains. Why do these
:03:46. > :03:50.parliamentary trains operate? Because successive governments have
:03:50. > :03:56.not got round to changing demand, 19th century laws which basically
:03:56. > :04:00.say, well, you have to be careful about closing railway lines. That
:04:00. > :04:03.means running Random trains in strange corners of the country at
:04:03. > :04:09.odd times when nobody wants to get on. Just so that you do not have to
:04:09. > :04:13.go through the closure process. Frankly, it is completely mad.
:04:13. > :04:18.These infrequent trains services can be found all over the nation's
:04:18. > :04:23.rail network. Stockport to Stalybridge is only on Friday at
:04:23. > :04:28.9:22am. Walsall to Wolverhampton is only at 7:36pm Monday to Friday.
:04:28. > :04:32.And Kyle of Lochalsh to Elgin runs just once a day at 5:15pm. But it
:04:32. > :04:37.is not just the lines, the network is also inhabited by forgotten
:04:37. > :04:42.stations. With only 116 passengers in a year, this station in West
:04:42. > :04:47.Lothian is one of the least used in Britain. We set up a camera to see
:04:47. > :04:51.if we can spot one of the elusive travellers as the train from
:04:51. > :04:57.Glasgow arrives. Like a failed wildlife film, we have not spotted
:04:57. > :05:02.a passenger today. It has taken 45 minutes for this train and eight
:05:02. > :05:05.passengers to get to Paddington. Now there are just four minutes
:05:05. > :05:11.before it turns round and goes back to Gerrards Cross. And there is not
:05:11. > :05:15.a single fare-paying passenger on board. Why do you run the service?
:05:15. > :05:19.This train provides a diversionary route. Most trains run to
:05:19. > :05:22.Marylebone station, but running this train, drivers know the routes
:05:22. > :05:27.to Paddington, been of the signals and when we need to we can run it
:05:27. > :05:31.safely. Passengers will say, we have had affairs put up and the
:05:31. > :05:35.money would be better spent easing congestion on regular routes.
:05:35. > :05:39.train costs very little to run. The train would be in any way and the
:05:39. > :05:42.driver would be paid anyway. Paddington station is completely
:05:42. > :05:46.full at peak times are we would not be able to run peak-time trains.
:05:46. > :05:53.Could you close the line if you wanted to? We have no desire to
:05:53. > :05:56.close it so we would not ask the question. There we go, the Gerrards
:05:56. > :06:00.Cross ghost train has been laid to rest at the end of its daily trip
:06:00. > :06:03.to Paddington and back. But with the network under pressure, you
:06:03. > :06:08.cannot hope thinking that these parliamentary trains take up
:06:08. > :06:12.resources better used elsewhere. Regarding the Kyle of Lochalsh to
:06:12. > :06:16.Elgin line, ScotRail says it is useful for turning trains around
:06:16. > :06:19.and running special services. Department of Transport said they
:06:19. > :06:25.would take a closer look at this, but do you think it should be
:06:25. > :06:29.easier for companies to close these lines? I do not. So many lines that
:06:29. > :06:33.got closed in the past, we wish they had not closed. Many lines it
:06:33. > :06:37.reopened. Once you have taken up the track and demolished the
:06:37. > :06:41.bridges and things like that, very difficult to put the line back. If
:06:41. > :06:46.the cost is to run a train every day, so be it, at least the line is
:06:46. > :06:50.there. And passenger numbers do change. Patterns of use vary over
:06:50. > :06:54.the years. You were part of the Government that privatise the
:06:55. > :07:00.railways. Bearing in mind that we now have the highest ticket price
:07:00. > :07:03.in Europe, on reflection, do you think it was a good idea?
:07:03. > :07:07.probably always had the highest ticket price in Europe. I do think
:07:07. > :07:11.it is a good idea. One reason is that people are using the trains
:07:11. > :07:15.enormously nowadays. I do not have the figures here, but the usage of
:07:15. > :07:19.trains has shot up. Despite that film about trains that nobody uses,
:07:19. > :07:23.private companies have been more responsive to people's demands.
:07:23. > :07:28.They have run more services at better times, developed new
:07:28. > :07:32.services. It is going pretty well. You are back of a third series of
:07:32. > :07:36.the great British train journeys. It is based on journeys according
:07:36. > :07:42.to Bradshaw's Handbook, the book that we have here. It is like an
:07:42. > :07:47.old version of Lonely Planet, isn't it? What sort of a man was
:07:47. > :07:51.Bradshaw? He was a Quaker, which I think means he had a social
:07:51. > :07:56.conscience, and was a serious man. Some of the entries in the book,
:07:56. > :08:00.you get comments about social conditions. He is writing about the
:08:00. > :08:05.industrial revolution. Some people came out of it very badly, some
:08:05. > :08:09.conditions were very extreme, and those are mentioned. BAFTA he was a
:08:09. > :08:12.map maker, a cartographer. He started by mapping the canals and
:08:12. > :08:15.then the railways. Then he saw a gap in the market, nobody had
:08:15. > :08:18.brought together the railway timetables. In those days, you
:08:18. > :08:23.could only find out about the train by going to the local station, or
:08:23. > :08:26.the local pub where they had the timetables. He brought all the time
:08:26. > :08:32.tables together in a single volume. And giving access to places most
:08:32. > :08:35.people had never heard about. became a publishing empire,
:08:35. > :08:39.essentially. This is the next stage, to produce these guidebooks,
:08:39. > :08:43.handbooks, which are like Lonely Planet. The difference is that they
:08:43. > :08:48.are set out by railway line, so you proceed along each line with
:08:48. > :08:51.descriptions of every place. With some areas he was not that
:08:52. > :08:58.complementary, to be honest. There is a lovely section that you have
:08:58. > :09:02.picked out. About Cornwall he says, one of the least inviting of the
:09:02. > :09:06.English counties, which exhibits the appearance of a dreary waste.
:09:06. > :09:12.Poor old Cornwall. He was lovely about Swansea, and that is what is
:09:12. > :09:17.important. And Durham got lovely recognition. We have great fun with
:09:17. > :09:21.this. In Weston-super-Mare, he was not complimentary about Weston-
:09:21. > :09:26.super-Mare. We asked people if they agreed and of course people tend to
:09:26. > :09:32.defend their place. You get stuck in on some journeys. Let's have a
:09:32. > :09:42.look at this. It is time for me to step into the shoes of a Victorian
:09:42. > :09:59.
:09:59. > :10:03.That was pretty exciting. Did it work? Yes, all three bags.
:10:03. > :10:07.worked. Of all of the journey should have been on, which was your
:10:07. > :10:12.favourite? One that has not been shown, the journey across Ireland,
:10:12. > :10:16.from Dublin to Londonderry. It is my favourite because, firstly the
:10:16. > :10:20.people are wonderful everywhere. They are also such interesting
:10:20. > :10:23.stories to tell around the railway. The creation of the border between
:10:23. > :10:27.Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, and the bringing of the
:10:27. > :10:31.peace process. All of it impacted enormously on the railways. Many of
:10:31. > :10:36.those places are mentioned in the book. Checking the timetable, we
:10:36. > :10:40.have run out of time on that chat. Great British Railway Journeys
:10:40. > :10:45.continues tomorrow at 6:30pm on BBC Two and the book accompanying the
:10:45. > :10:52.series is also available. The next departure is all stations to
:10:52. > :10:56.Barrow-in-Furness. Piel Island lies half-a-mile of the
:10:57. > :11:02.Cumbrian coast. Over the centuries, Celts, Vikings, French monks and
:11:02. > :11:05.pirates have all waded ashore here. But none of these invaders have a
:11:05. > :11:11.story as downright incredible as the startled young lad who found
:11:11. > :11:17.himself here at the end of the 15th century. Brought to the island by a
:11:17. > :11:21.forcefully intent on making him the King of England. -- by a force
:11:21. > :11:25.fully intent. For one night, it supported an army and a mysterious
:11:25. > :11:33.boy king who would later marched into the battle that ended the gory
:11:33. > :11:36.civil conflict that was the War Of the Roses. In 1485, the war was in
:11:36. > :11:40.full tilt. The throne of England was at the heart of a bloody
:11:40. > :11:46.struggle between the white rose to a House of York and the Tudor House
:11:46. > :11:50.of Lancaster. The Tudors, with their red rose emblem under Henry
:11:50. > :11:55.the 7th, eventually beat the Yorkist Richard the third in the
:11:55. > :12:00.epic battle of Bosworth. For the first time in 300 years, the Crown
:12:00. > :12:08.had been wrenched from the House of York. Dewar looked to be over. But
:12:08. > :12:12.was it? -- the war. The Yorkists were left seething and desperate to
:12:12. > :12:16.get their crown back by any means necessary. Of all of the Yorkist
:12:16. > :12:24.plot to overthrow Henry the 7th, the strangest took a road that
:12:24. > :12:29.ended here on Piel Island. It all started on the streets of Oxford.
:12:29. > :12:34.There, a Yorkist priest saw a young boy with a passing resemblance to
:12:34. > :12:38.the missing Yorkist Prince. The lad's name was Lambert, son of an
:12:38. > :12:45.Oxford joiner. But the priest reckoned he could pass him off as
:12:45. > :12:50.the legitimate heir to the throne. Was this not just a ridiculous
:12:50. > :12:53.plan? How did they think it would work? Unbelievably, it did. Nobody
:12:53. > :12:56.looked -- nobody knew what the Prince looked like because he was
:12:56. > :12:59.locked in the Tower of London and those who did know were sponsoring
:12:59. > :13:03.the plot, so they were in a good position to use him to stir up
:13:03. > :13:07.trouble against Henry the 7th. The King realised this was going on and
:13:07. > :13:10.the boy was smuggled to Dublin where he was crowned King Edward
:13:10. > :13:15.the 6th of England in a solemn ceremony. The crowd that was used
:13:15. > :13:20.was reputedly taken from the statue of the Virgin Mary in a cathedral.
:13:20. > :13:26.-- the Crown. A force of 6000 German mercenaries and poorly armed
:13:26. > :13:30.Irish were hastily assembled. And on 4th June 1487, just two years
:13:30. > :13:39.after Bosworth, this bedraggled army with its bewildered young
:13:39. > :13:44.pretender set out across the Irish Sea. They settled at Piel Island
:13:44. > :13:49.for the night. The young, there was never meant to be king, but for one
:13:49. > :13:56.night's, here on Piel Island, he and his rag-tag army could but
:13:56. > :14:01.dream. From here, they would march and raise troops to their David and
:14:01. > :14:06.Goliath battle against the Tudor throne. 6000 troops overnight on
:14:06. > :14:10.the island. Next day, the decision was made to march south to lay
:14:10. > :14:14.claim to the throne of England. At Stoke, 12,000 troops were waiting
:14:14. > :14:22.and they were slaughtered in a bloody three-hour battle, and that
:14:22. > :14:26.was the end of the War Of the Roses. What ever happened to the pretend
:14:26. > :14:29.Prince? Well, you would be surprised. The King knew that he
:14:29. > :14:33.had been manipulated, but because he had been crowned in a religious
:14:33. > :14:37.ceremony, Henry the 7th was squeamish about executing him. He
:14:37. > :14:42.took pity on the boy. He went to work in the Royal kitchens and
:14:42. > :14:45.eventually became a Falconer, working directly for the King. He
:14:45. > :14:51.cropped up 40 years later at the funeral of one of Henry the 7th's
:14:51. > :14:57.servants. Against all the odds, Lambert actually made it to the
:14:57. > :15:03.Royal Court after all. In truth, it had been a political and military
:15:03. > :15:06.fantasy from mad start to Surrey finish. And although he did not get
:15:06. > :15:16.to wear the crown, the lad with his head in the clouds was at least
:15:16. > :15:19.
:15:19. > :15:23.Michael, have you ever run into Ben Fogle on your travels? Not so far,
:15:23. > :15:27.but when we go around, they keep saying that Coast was here last
:15:27. > :15:31.week. So we are falling all over each other.
:15:31. > :15:41.I feel terrible for saying this, I did see you on a train. I wish I
:15:41. > :15:47.had come up to say hello. I was taken by the quality of your socks!
:15:47. > :15:52.He is Matt Baker, honestly! Lots of people are writing in, not about
:15:52. > :15:58.your socks, unfortunately, but disagreeing and saying that Ribena
:15:58. > :16:04.is not that gad for your teeth? did say it with a certain amount of
:16:04. > :16:09.irony! Just in case you are tempted to drink gallons of the stuff! On
:16:09. > :16:14.that note have you seen The Iron Lady? Well, Meryl Streep was
:16:14. > :16:17.fantastic in it. I think that the historical parts are brilliantly
:16:17. > :16:22.recreated. It is controversial about Margaret Thatcher in old age,
:16:22. > :16:26.although it is a brilliant portrayal of old age and grief and
:16:26. > :16:32.bereavement. It make as strong point, you are not only alone in
:16:32. > :16:37.old age, but also as a leader, when you are there, when people turn to
:16:37. > :16:44.you to ask you what is the decision, you are there on your own.
:16:44. > :16:46.A film well-deserving of the success of the Golden Globes. Well,
:16:46. > :16:51.another character, cruelly cut from the The Iron Lady script is John
:16:51. > :16:56.Sergeant. Because of the high number of people out of work and
:16:56. > :17:00.employers paying for each apprentice that they hire on a
:17:00. > :17:05.sliding scale, depending on their age, but as he is finding out, some
:17:05. > :17:10.are past their flush. People say that young and old have nothing in
:17:10. > :17:16.common, but Elsie and Jenny have a surprising bond it is not their age.
:17:16. > :17:20.Is it their love of French cheeses? Or maybe they love tinkering with
:17:20. > :17:27.technology? Actually it is neither, the surprising bond is that they
:17:27. > :17:31.are both eager apprentices. Elsie is 61 and on a scheme with a
:17:31. > :17:36.northern supermarket chain. She's paid the same as a shop
:17:36. > :17:38.assistant who has completed an apprenticeship, but Elsie has no
:17:38. > :17:43.qualms about starting on the bottom rung.
:17:43. > :17:47.It is alright. Thank you very much. Why did you decide to become an
:17:47. > :17:52.apprentice as your age? Hmm, to give me more knowledge.
:17:52. > :17:56.Do you think you are better at being an apprentice than a young
:17:56. > :18:00.person? I don't think better is the word. It is different for me.
:18:00. > :18:05.What is the hardest thing you have to do? The computer.
:18:05. > :18:10.Do you think I could learn how to do that? I am sure you could. I
:18:10. > :18:16.will show you. You hold it like that... Right, now you bring down...
:18:16. > :18:20.I will have to put on my glasses. We do at our age! We can't see a
:18:20. > :18:25.thing otherwise! Does it take longer to learn? It does, yes. When
:18:25. > :18:30.the younger people in the store, we have them over there, they can use
:18:30. > :18:35.it far, far quicker than me. How long does the apprenticeship
:18:35. > :18:40.take? It is 12 months. But Elsie is not alone. She is a
:18:40. > :18:44.growing number of shall we say, more senior apprentices. Last year
:18:44. > :18:48.almost 4,000 people over the age of 60 were on schemes in various
:18:48. > :18:52.businesses across the country. Why not? There is no age limit! There
:18:52. > :18:55.you are. Well, that is something to be proud
:18:56. > :19:00.of! That is. Do you feel better? Do I when I
:19:01. > :19:04.produce one like that! If there is a mix of younger people and older
:19:04. > :19:09.people in a retail scenario, you have an ideal situation to be
:19:09. > :19:13.honest. The old people are a great influence on the youngsters.
:19:13. > :19:18.A lot of people would say you don't need a skill to work in the
:19:18. > :19:22.supermarket, to be an apprentice, it is simple, what do you say to
:19:22. > :19:28.that? You would be surprised. There is a notion it is all about
:19:28. > :19:32.stocking shelves, but you have a multipolicity of skills that are
:19:32. > :19:36.administrative, logistical, presentational, all leading to a
:19:36. > :19:41.satisfactory retail offer. Jenny does what some people
:19:41. > :19:51.consider to be a more traditional apprenticeship. She helps to build
:19:51. > :19:52.
:19:52. > :20:00.these things... The Euro Fighter Typhoon.
:20:00. > :20:07.I was on a formal placement as part of the apprenticeship here in the
:20:07. > :20:11.Typhoon Final Assembly, a complex job. I must say. What do you here?
:20:11. > :20:15.Well me here, and possibly you on the other.
:20:15. > :20:20.Me? I don't see why not. Is it easier as a young person to
:20:20. > :20:24.be learning all of the techniques? You are more adaptable as a young
:20:24. > :20:28.person. You want to learn. This is a job I will pursue.
:20:28. > :20:32.With youth unemployment at over 1 million, the critics are saying
:20:32. > :20:36.that the Government is not doing enough to get young adults on to
:20:36. > :20:39.the apprenticeship schemes. We think we should preserve the
:20:39. > :20:43.apprenticeships for younger people. For older people it is great for
:20:43. > :20:46.them to find other forms of training and get them into work,
:20:46. > :20:52.but perhaps we should develop other schemes for them.
:20:52. > :20:57.But the Government says that 90% of the money towards apprenticeships
:20:57. > :21:00.goes towards training those under the age of 25. Thisee they are
:21:00. > :21:04.offering extra money to small businesses who have not taken on
:21:04. > :21:10.apprenticeships before. What is coming out of this is that
:21:10. > :21:12.age is not so important as attitude and ability. If you bet get that
:21:12. > :21:18.right you can end up almost anywhere.
:21:18. > :21:26.Well, girls if John Sergeant was not enough to get the blood pumping,
:21:26. > :21:32.we are about to extend the offer, because, Aston, Marvin and Oritse
:21:32. > :21:39.are here so join us now, they are from JLS! Well done. The last time
:21:39. > :21:45.you were on, we saw Marvin winning the go cart race, but this time you
:21:45. > :21:49.are pulling together, aren't you? lot of team effort! The last
:21:49. > :21:54.corner! Didn't see it. Did you lose? This time you are pulling
:21:54. > :21:59.together. You are launching Sport Relief today. You have had a long
:21:59. > :22:04.day. Promoting, so what can people expect this year? Obviously, people
:22:04. > :22:09.know by know. Hopefully we have the official single for Sport Relief
:22:09. > :22:13.this year. So we are very proud. Also Sport Relief are an incredible
:22:13. > :22:18.charity. It is something that is close to our heart. As you know we
:22:18. > :22:22.went to South Africa last year in October. We went to Uganda and saw
:22:22. > :22:27.some of the great things, the money that is raised, what it goes
:22:27. > :22:32.towards. For us it is an incredible cause, charity it is a great to be
:22:32. > :22:37.a part of it. To have the song it is really, really important to us.
:22:37. > :22:43.Was the song inspired by the trip? We wrote the song for Sport Relief.
:22:43. > :22:50.We knew that it was going to be something we were involved in. The
:22:50. > :22:56.song is All That I Do is to Make You Proud.
:22:56. > :23:04.How can people at home get involved this year? Well, they can get
:23:04. > :23:07.involved by joining us at the Sainsbury's Sport Relief Mile.
:23:07. > :23:12.They can go to bbc.co.uk/sportrelief. They can
:23:12. > :23:19.click on there and sign up to do a mile, three miles, six miles,
:23:19. > :23:28.whatever they can manage! How does that sound, Michael? One mile!
:23:28. > :23:35.are in London for Sport Relief, I'm sure that they will be busy, but
:23:35. > :23:42.here is Putin, Russia And The West, talking about the engineering
:23:42. > :23:49.situation of the O2 Arena. What about the unsung heroes of
:23:49. > :23:57.this O2 Arena, the eng years that bring this place to life? Putin,
:23:57. > :24:00.Russia And The West has eped build Arsenal's emrate Stadium and the
:24:01. > :24:07.latest project, the Olympic Stadium. I was always looking to find
:24:07. > :24:13.something new, different. Without eng years like Paul, the --
:24:13. > :24:16.engine years like Paul, the modern buildings we would expect nowadays
:24:16. > :24:20.may not happen. The bottom line is that it has to
:24:20. > :24:25.stand up. But Paul does more than simply make
:24:25. > :24:29.safe buildings. He thrives on innovative and dramatic structures.
:24:29. > :24:37.Throughout his career, he's been inspired by the work of one of his
:24:37. > :24:40.Victorian predecessors, Sir Benjamin Baker, the designer of the
:24:40. > :24:45.iconic Forth Rail Bridge which connecting Edinburgh with the north
:24:45. > :24:50.of Scotland. What inspired me about Benjamin
:24:50. > :24:55.Baker, he introduced a new way of doing thing. This guy used to go to
:24:55. > :25:00.work on a horse. No calculators, no computers. All he can use to design
:25:00. > :25:04.this thing is a pencil, a piece of paper and his imagination.
:25:04. > :25:10.Despite this, the concept for the forth road rail bridge was
:25:10. > :25:16.innovative and daring. It took eight years and 4,000 men to build,
:25:16. > :25:19.opening in 1890. It spro duced a new method of spanning the mile
:25:19. > :25:25.wide Firth of Forth with a series of can't levers.
:25:25. > :25:29.Unlike many bridges, the can't lever bridge flowers out from a
:25:29. > :25:35.central pier. A basic can't lever is a projected
:25:35. > :25:39.structure supported at one end. Baker's idea was more ambitious.
:25:39. > :25:44.That is two can't levers, one looking that way and one looking
:25:44. > :25:47.that way. Balanced either side on the pier. That was the core
:25:47. > :25:51.difference between Baker's can't levered bridge solution and a
:25:51. > :25:55.traditional bridge solution. This was the first time that can't
:25:56. > :26:02.levers were used on this scale. The Forth Rail Bridge has become an
:26:02. > :26:07.icon of British engineering. Paul's version of an iconic build happened
:26:07. > :26:14.when he was asked to design what was originally known as the
:26:14. > :26:21.Millennium Dome. Now, the O2 Arena. He created the original dome and
:26:21. > :26:24.the concept build inside, but just like his inspiration, Baker, Paul
:26:24. > :26:29.had to be vait I about the challenge.
:26:29. > :26:33.We had to build a building within a building. We got around that by
:26:33. > :26:37.building a crane in its own right. So around the outside there are
:26:37. > :26:41.eight concrete tubes that hold the roof up. We built the steel roof on
:26:41. > :26:45.the floor around the tubes and we jacked the whole thing up in the
:26:45. > :26:51.air. When all of the work was done, Paul
:26:51. > :26:55.had the pleasure of seeing his childhood heroes, Led Zeppelin
:26:56. > :27:00.perform in his building. It was a moment, you are looking
:27:00. > :27:04.around, there with your mates, watching a band in a one-off gig,
:27:04. > :27:09.the building was in a building at that you had built, that was a
:27:09. > :27:12.moment, when you think, there are a number of things here that feel
:27:12. > :27:18.special. As Paul looks forward to the
:27:18. > :27:22.unveiling of his latest work, the Olympic Stadium, he credits his
:27:22. > :27:25.hero, Benjamin Baker, who continues to inspire him.
:27:25. > :27:29.You challenge yourself, and sometimes you find you have gone
:27:29. > :27:31.straight over to where you were before, you have pushed through and
:27:31. > :27:37.not scared yourself out of life in the process.
:27:37. > :27:44.Incredible. So, I should look at the O2 Arena
:27:44. > :27:50.differently? Yes! It's a great line up isn't it on that night? Give us
:27:50. > :27:55.an idea? Yes, it is. Obviously we are performing alongside Olly Murs.
:27:55. > :27:59.A good friend of accounts. We are announcing other acts in a couple
:27:59. > :28:04.of weeks. It is on March the 24th on Saturday afternoon, obviously
:28:04. > :28:08.the proceeds of the concert go to Sport Relief. It is a jam-packed
:28:08. > :28:12.weekend. It is the big night, the Friday night. Then you are on the
:28:12. > :28:16.Saturday, and on the Sunday that is the day we are trying to get 1
:28:17. > :28:21.million people to run the mile. You have T-shirts there, haven't you?
:28:21. > :28:28.Yes, a little gift for you. There is your one.
:28:28. > :28:31.Look! The names are on! That is what you have to wear when you run
:28:31. > :28:36.your mile on Sunday. Thank you very much.
