19/01/2017 The One Show

Hello and welcome to The One Show with Angela Scanlon.

Tonight we'd like to show you something that is so rare nowadays -

we had great difficulty in tracking one down.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this is a courgette! Very, very special at the

moment. As you may know, the UK has been hit by a courgette shortage.

Cold weather in Spain and Italy has meant they have been disappearing

from the shelves so we are in luck it is awful! My spiraliser has not

been used in weeks! How are you guys coping? I have got some in my

fridge. It is danger in Bakewell and Frank Skinner! I would not even have

recognised that as a courgette. I think it is borderline cucumber. It

is on the way to being a marrow. I like to think we all are! You can

use a marrow instead because they are plentiful. When there is a

shortage it is surprisingly what lengths people go to. If you fancy a

nibble, I will leave it there. If the courgette disappeared, I would

not mind massively. I like a courgette. We will talk about your

latest project, Portrait Artist Of The Year later. And with that in

mind, we have a very talented audience here. The idea is they will

be painting a celebrity and you have to guess who the celebrity is a bit

later on. I tell you what, it is amazing the talent. Attention to

detail, we like that. Speaking of portraits, this is the first

portrait painted of Donald Trump since he was elected. And this week

Madame Tussaud's also unveiled their first waxwork of him with a

hairstyle instructed of, wait for it, 25,000 yaik hairs. Look how long

he wears his ties. It is extraordinary. Now here are five

Brits and one car who have a special relationship with the incoming

president. I have a special car, Donald Trump's

Cadillac. It was designed by Donald Trump in 1988. This car has a drinks

cabinet. It pipes the drinks from the boot back into the car. There is

an in-built safe, a paper shredder and a mobile phone. It is an office

on wheels. Now Donald Trump is president, it does not make any

difference to me, it is still my Cadillac. My name is Michael Powell.

I am at the geographer. In 1986I photographed Donald Trump for the

Times newspaper. -- I am a photographer. People tend to look

better when you put the light on the same side as the parting of the

hair. Donald Trump has three. This is the shot I took. I'd tried to get

him smiling. He took that as a challenge and suggested I told him a

joke. Make me laugh, and I got it. It is a nice shot. You don't see

many pictures of him smiling like that.

My name is Rob Edwards. I have been following Trump for many years in

Scotland and have had a few uncomfortable encounters. He has

done lots of controversial things in Scotland. He proposed a golf course

which every environmental group opposed but then he got the go-ahead

from the Scottish Government. The few times I have interacted with him

he has been very rude. He is offensive. He believes journalists,

he believes environmentalists and he bullies residents who oppose him. I

am a resident on the estate in Aberdeenshire and by Donald Trump.

He has tried to throw us out of our homes. He has had a two line is cut,

our phone lines cut and built a fence around my house. He sent me a

bill for half the cost of the fence and is still doing everything he

possibly can to make us unwelcome on our own property. My name is Gareth.

I wrote to Donald Trump when I was 17 years of age asking him for a

job. I received a letter from the Trump Tower. They were going to keep

my raise a file. When I first started in sales, Donald Trump's

book was one of the books we all had to read. From that day I realised he

was very successful in his image and how he portrayed himself and I

wanted to replicate Donald Trump. I'm filled full of foreboding about

a Trump presidency because if you look at the way he has treated

Scotland and the way he has treated Scotland's environment, which is

basically to trash it, the risk is he will do that to the US and to the

world. I remember when Donald Reagan -- Ronald Reagan was voted in there

was probably equal concern in this country about him being in that job.

I think any world leader really has to be judged on the whole term. The

thought of this man being the president from Friday onwards is

actually quite scary. It is like a bad dream. You almost hope it will

not happen but you know it will anyway. I recently sent a card of

congratulations in his new job saying congratulations on his race

to the top. As he believes in his country, so do I.

Whatever your views, it does all start tomorrow. Tommy Sandusky is

here with the schedule. When does it all start and where can we watch it

-- Tommy Sand do. From 4pm here we can watch the coverage and then from

4:30pm there will be some music and speeches. 5pm our time is when he

takes the oath of office. That is when he will do the eyeful release

where top old the Constitution and all that. Then after that, there

will be lunch and a review of the armed services. Ben Moore speeches

and he will do the walk. He and Mike Pence the vice president will do the

walk from the Capitol building down Pennsylvania Avenue to the White

House. A big parade will follow. Then there are inaugural balls. He

says he will attend at least three of them, maybe more. But he cannot

party too hard because the next day he has an national prayer service at

the Washington National Cathedral and then he gets down to work. It

all begins the next morning. Frank is speechless! He always looks like

he is winging it. I basically disagree with what he stands for but

he is comedy gold. I will be watching tomorrow live. Keep comedy

live. Honestly, I find him endlessly hilarious. Even if he blows up the

entire planet, I think there will be lots of laughs on the way! Lets hope

that doesn't happen. There are lots of stories since the very beginning

but you have some great inauguration stories through the ages. I love and

inauguration anecdote! Which President was in possession of just

one tooth in his mouth when he was inaugurated? Jefferson? No, it was

not. It was George Washington. He kept his mouth shut! Not smiling for

that reason. He had dentures made of human teeth, animal teeth, ivory and

even lead. What kind of animal teeth are those? There was a tragic

incident off the back of the inauguration. On President was

killed by his own inauguration. William Henry Harrison delivered the

longest inauguration speech. One hour 45 minutes out in a snowstorm.

This is back in 1841. He didn't have a coat or a hat, caught pneumonia

and died a month later. He had the longest ever in operation speech and

the shortest time ever served as president. When your mother tells

you to wear a coat, where your coat! It is the perfect death for a

politician talking yourself to death! Do you think history might

repeat itself? He is very well insulated and that is why he has two

wear fake tan, he has constructed a canopy that the sun never gets to!

There was one president who was sworn in four times? Barack Obama.

The first time he was sworn in they missed the words upside for safety's

sake they did it again the next day. Then for his second term when he was

re-elected, it fell on the 20th of January, his oath of office and that

was a Sunday. So they did a small ceremony then and they really did it

for a televised ceremony on the Monday. So he got four oaths of

office for the price of two. He got a deal out of it.

Tommy, thank you. Imagine if you were given the opportunity to design

your very own village? What would it look like? Would it be like

Ambridge? It would look like Midsummer Murders. One designer has

been given the challenge and Lucy has been to inspect his plans.

30-year-old married dad of two Jamie Carter is looking to buy his first

family home. We have been renting for two years and desperate to get

on the housing ladder. And Heather cannot afford a deposit. I will be

saving for about 20 years. But could there now be a solution for

first-time buyers up and down the country? It might look like I am

standing in the middle of an empty field but this is the site of a

brand-new housing concept and on the government hopes might be the answer

to the housing shortage. The garden village. This site here in Cheshire

is just one of 14 proposed garden villages across England. So what

exactly are they? If you picture of traditional village then at first

glance you would not be far off. There is no set model. But a garden

village has to be self-contained and they must have their own essentials

like shops, transport, schools and even their own GPS macro. Sounds

great but will the reality live up to that and will it truly help

first-time buyers to get on the property ladder? We are going to

find out. The government is trying hard to attract first-time buyers.

Not only are they pumping in ?6 million, under a new scheme for

buyers aged 25 to 40 there could be a 25% discount. I am taking Heather

and Jamie to the site in Cheshire to see if they could ever be tempted

into signing up. What would it mean to you to own your own place? I

would see it as security for my future as much as anything else and

for my children. Putting money into something which is yours. When you

are renting it is effectively dead money. I'm going to meet designer

Wayne Hemingway. He has been commissioned to design the village

and has brought along some early designs. Welcome to my office! Thank

you! This is just a field. How do you design a garden village from

scratch? This should fit around 1600 homes so around 4000 people which is

a nice decent community. There will be a school, cafes and shops. There

will be a sports field and places to walk your dog. There will be access

to the station and to get your car onto the main roads. Will there be a

GP surgery? Yes. Will they be in Auckland? If there are any milkmen

around here I'm sure they will want to deliver milk. -- will they'll be

and not men? You also get to have a say in how it looks. What would you

be interested in creating here if you moved? Basically creating a safe

environment for my children to grow up in. You want to be part of the

community, not just to have a home. How do you make this village appeal

to all? You will never make everybody happy but the people we

have in front of us are the people we should be helping. That is my

aim. But not everyone is in favour of the garden village plan. Urban

designer David Rutledge is sceptical. They should not be built

in the middle of nowhere. They will not have public transport and shops.

When you do a survey you find people are positive about the idea of

garden villages but they are negative about the idea of housing

developments. It is a badge to sell things which otherwise would be

unsuitable. There is no easy solution. We have to do something

about it, we need homes. Sir how will the local council are sure that

this new development works for everybody? I put this suggestion to

councillor Jamie McRae? This is not just on housing estate, it is a

place and a community. The design code will ensure the local community

facilities are built within the garden village, such as primary

schools and a real village centre. Would a new home in a garden village

work for our prospective buyers? For the recreational facilities put in

place, I cannot see why it would not be a great place to bring my family

up. It ticks a lot of boxes, I would have involvement in the development

and it is sustainable. I would be interested. Could be years before

this site is up and running. It remains to be seen if they garden

village is just a pretty name for a housing development or the blueprint

for the perfect place to live and bring up your children.

The red ones are the villages, and the towns in blue, over 10,000

homes. You are very pro-. I am, I think it is a wonderful idea. That

they are entities in themselves, not just add-ons to sprawl. A complete

identity of their own, they will have a vigorous young architects

designing interesting homes. The architecture has to be right. It

really could be like the prize-winning hamster Garden suburb,

now a legendary achievement in the garden village movement. --

Hampstead Garden suburb. There is an old airfield being used. They are

being very strategic about the places they are choosing. If I were

a young family, I would be in there. Terrific. They will believe every

morning presumably and work somewhere else? The idea is a

community there with everything you would need. Usually everyone goes to

the nearest town or city to work. It's changing, Frank. People work

from home a lot. It will evolve as you get the professionals there,

they will want to set up work. There will be schools and offices, a

community. It is very hard to create a community, but when you do it

successfully, everyone really enjoys it. We have won tonight here, I

feel. We could talk about this for ever, but we are here to talk about

you guys and your series back again, the Portrait Artist Of The Year.

Let's take a look. Over the next eight weeks, some of

the most talented artists from Britain and Ireland are showcasing

their talents. I've been constantly painting in my head. Last night I

couldn't sleep, I was just dreaming painting. In front of the public,

they will have just four Alistair paid the portraits of some very

famous faces. -- four hours to paint the portraits. How does it feel? I

will do this a lot. Do you want to look noble, interesting, quirky? Are

you taking notes? That would be fantastic! I for 1am a big fan of

the Portrait Artist Of The Year. -- Ivor one and a big fan. Give us an

idea of how the artists progress. It began a few months back, 1500 people

sent in self portraits. We have judges who narrowed it down to 54.

They are split into heaps, they paint a celebrity each every week.

There is a winner every week. -- hits. There is a semifinal and a

final, and the winner gets a ?10,000 commission to paint Graham Norton,

and that goes into the National Gallery of Ireland. They have gone

from optimistically sending in a painting to being on the wall of the

National Gallery of Ireland, quite a prize. Amazing. They start with

self-portrait is but then they paint under quite a bit of pressure. Are

the celebrity is ever upset with the portrayal? If they are, they are

very good at disguising it. A lot of them are actors, so if they don't

like it, they give a good performance. They enjoy it, they

enter into the spirit, they would not have come otherwise. They are

very good at acting steel, behaving very well. Whereas some people,

Adrian Chiles was very jumpy, wasn't he? Very twitchy. If we may mention

him on this hallowed Soper, he was like a man in chains. -- hallowed

sofa. He said, can you walk with me, I have to get outside? It was like

taking a bear out of the circus. Others get very stiff. The actresses

stand up and stretch. I always think that is a marvellous shot, they

really stretch out like Panthers to get the shape. All the different

styles of work. The different artists can use any kind of medium

they want. Embroidery... If you people have found stuff in skips and

painted on it. Chunks of metal, old doors. Knitting. As long as it works

and makes a good portrait, you know. I guess they take you by surprise.

Do you have a favourite medium these days, are you happy to go with the

flow? He is learning. Are you learning to paint? Having done the

show, I have been doing evening classes. Watching someone close up,

standing in front of a blank canvas and in a few hours turn it into

something beautiful is pretty amazing. You have sat and had a

portrait done, Joan. We had a celebratory opening, a launch, and

as a surprise to me, I was asked to sit for a portrait painted by one of

our early winners, who is really good. Christopher. He was there and

within two hours, he painted this portrait. That was quite something.

I had the experience of sitting still for two hours. It's

exceptional in my life to have two hours, sitting still. I recommend

it. It's very therapeutic. I felt wonderful, it entered my head. A

great New year's resolution... Sitting still! I might try it right

now! Can you carry on? Portrait Artist Of The Year starts

next Tuesday at 8pm on Sky Arts. Our audience have been painting for

most of the afternoon, for about an hour, before we came on air. They

will be revealing their work and you have to guess the celebrity.

Terrific. It's a brave man who would agree to paint the portrait of

someone who has been a 19 times world boxing champion. Thankfully

our One Show artist Adbanji was up for it, and so was Chris Eubank, and

it's not very often he hits the canvas! As an artist, I love the

time it takes to paint a portrait, several hours in a sitting can

reveal a lot about someone. Sitting for me today is former boxer Chris

Eubank. He was unbeaten for ten years, 43 fights, and was a 19 time

world champion. I have been locked up in secure units, assessment

centres, foster homes. I have been beaten up. For every fight I won, I

lost four. All the mistakes made it so that when I fought Nigel Benn for

the World Championship, I did not lose to that man, because I had made

enough mistakes. I made champion of the world through force. So

basically, you almost failed your way to success? Yes, I failed my way

to success. For some, he has become synonymous not with spot but his

eccentric dress sense, flamboyant behaviour and intellectual

posturing. Do you like the limelight? No. What don't you like

about it? I love it! Absolute love. I am the best. This wasn't given to

me. But when you spend maybe 20 years being the anti-hero, for no

reason, when you have been a very gentle, caring person. Let's say I

was arrogant, am I not supposed to be? Isn't it OK to be arrogant as a

fighter? There is a swagger to it. There is, you need to project

confidence. His style divides opinion, with his outfits topping

both best and worst dressed lists. Do you know how many times I have

been out in the public domain wearing absolutely ridiculous

clothes? Many times. In order to get it perfect, I had to make mistakes.

So I have been laughed at. When you are born into the world and

unattractive man, you try to make up for it in one way or another. This

is like a child, don't look at my face, check the monocle and the

shoes and the teeth. To me, it's like a work in progress. It's

getting better and better. How do you marry this flamboyant essence of

fashion with the view of you being a boxer? It is all an act. In reality,

the boxing is real, and there is an act. I am not Telegraphing. Try

again... I walked to the corner as though I have won... Flamboyance. At

the end of the fight, in a close fight, the judges say, you know

what, he just seems to have a bit of that... You are constantly going

back and forth between reality and an act. That's what I'm seeing. Yes.

Nothing and no one is an original. So if that's true, you should steal,

plagiarise, copy, impersonate... They call me the great pretender.

And I am privileged to be called the great pretender. I embrace it,

because we are all acting. And look at what it's made me, a 19 time

world champion. Not bad for a Peckham boy. Not bad at all!

Using the time Chris has spent sitting for me, I am painting him a

portrait of the way I see him. Three weeks later, it's complete, and

Chris returns to my studio. Goodness, that is good! My goodness.

I'm so glad I came today like this. Because it really shows a contrast

between something which is really theatrical as opposed to... Like

that! Normal, yeah. It is you with a background blazed in this colourful

poetry, and you remind me of an African king. So, boom! Thank you!

And of course you know Adbanji. He was on Landscape artist of the year.

That was a brilliant portrait. It is time to see some brilliant

portraits. Our audience have been painting this afternoon. This is

lorry. Any idea who she has painted? Unavoidably, Theresa May. Well done!

I thought she was just holding up a mirror!

It's a good Theresa May. Are you a student art? I studied painting at

Camberwell. The next one. This is Caroline. The

slight giveaway is the strap over the shoulder. That's got to be Andy

Murray, hasn't it? It's worth pointing out these were

not the best ones. We tried to make it difficult by picking ones you

would not get. Well done. Any thoughts on this handsome devil?

I think this is terrific but I can't get who it is. I like it, I love the

jacket. I hope it's not me. It is! Joan and Frank, you get to pick one

each to bring home. Out of all of those? Is that Barack Obama? Yes, it

is. You have forgotten him already! Obviously I want one of me. Is there

two of me? Thank you to everyone. Thank you to Joan and Frank.

Portrait Artist Of The Year starts on Tuesday at eight o'clock on Sky

Arts. Room 101 is on at 8.30pm

tomorrow on BBC One. Fay Ripley and I will be here

tomorrow talking to Robson Greene. And there'll be music from Pete Tong

and the Heritage Orchestra. They want me to write and

produce - for a boy band. Oh. Your album's

getting five-star reviews, I mean, you must feel like

you're dreaming. Well, well.

If it isn't Baloo and Mowgli.
