19/01/2018 The One Show

Hello and welcome to

The One Show with Alex Jones.

And my co-conspirator, Michael Ball.

APPLAUSE

Lovely.

Tomorrow marks ten years

since the world was introduced

to a man who'd go on to set

a new benchmark for

acting in TV drama.

And change the image

of chemistry teachers for ever.

Do we have to say his name?

You know exactly who I am. Say my

name.

All right, all right!

It's Bryan Cranston!

Bryan is going to be here any

moment. First, here's how Jean

Johansson on very Scottish drink and

how it's changing.

how it's changing. Oh, Irn-Bru,

those 80s and 90s advertising

campaigns helped make it a Scottish

institution.

# Irn-Bru #.

Butter brouhaha is brewing over

these little cans of orange

loveliness. AJ bar, the makers of

Irn-Bru, is changing the

117-year-old recipe. They are

halving the drink's sugary content,

in response to a government

crackdown on the soft drinks

industry, to avoid the sugar tax

being launched this April the

company is slashing the amount of

sugar in a can from eight teaspoons,

to four. Sugar is being replaced

with artificial sweeteners but

changing the DNA of our iconic

Irn-Bru hasn't gone down well with

fans, including TV host Levine

Kelly. -- Lorraine Kerry. Lorraine

has backed angry Irn-Bru drinkers,

like Ryan, who has started a

petition against the recipe change

that's been signed by almost 50,000

people and counting.

What they are

doing is leaving us no choice, if

you want to drink the full sugar

version. There are disregarding 117

years of history and putting up two

fingers up to 50,000 people who tell

them they don't agree with it.

It's

a message echoed odds as fervently

on the streets of Glasgow.

I'd

rather they left it the way it was.

Keep it the same.

They have a secret

recipe and it seems fine, so why

change it?

Irn-Bru gives me my

sugar.

With so much opposition to

the change, I want to have exactly

why the company is changing with its

century-old recipe. I've been

invited to their factory on the

outskirts of Glasgow to meet Robin

Barr, the company's former chairman.

That's my great grandfather. He

started our soft drinks business in

1875. The business has grown from

these small beginnings.

So why

change the original recipe?

We are

effectively reacting to the vast

majority of people, who do say they

want less sugar in everything they

are consuming.

Why couldn't you just

keep the original and anyone who is

health-conscious can always go for

the diet option?

Well, that's true,

but people do like sugar and indeed

people want to continue to have some

sugar. We're reducing the sugar, but

we are not taking it down to zero.

Cans of the lower sugar but

artificially sweetened drink have

started to roll off the production

line, so time for a taste test. I've

recruited a band of fans to see if

they can tell the difference between

the new sugar Lite version in the

green cup, and the full fat original

in the pink. All you have to do is

take a sip out of each cup and tell

us which one you think is the

original Irn-Bru recipe. Got it?

Yeah.

OK, Bottoms up. Surely these

Irn-Bru connoisseurs will spot the

original sugary version in the pink

cup, over the new artificially

sweetened version in the green. But

they are having trouble tasting the

difference between old and new. Test

done, it's time to vote. So one

count of three, push forward the cup

you think contains the original

Irn-Bru. One, two, three. That's

five green cups, three pink, and one

who couldn't decide. So I can reveal

the cup which contains the original

recipe for Irn-Bru is the pink cup.

Now!

Was close but in a photo finish

six of our Irn-Bru fans couldn't

tell the difference.

I'm quite

shocked!

The green one was a bit

sweeter.

Very slight difference. I

thought that was the original, but I

preferred the green one.

I live on

Irn-Bru, so I'm ashamed. I don't

feel Glaswegian.

Not everyone is

going to be keen on the new lower

sugar drink, but there's no doubt

the health argument is compelling.

So it looks like old school fans are

going to have to get used to it.

Irn-Bru, I love it.

You do like it.

Bryan is here.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Looking very well, sir. We had a

scary moment.

We are so glad to see

you!

Do you know what Irn-Bru is?

It's a Scottish drink, that's it

there, a natural, lovely colour. See

what you think.

It's very natural,

as you can see by the colour. It's

not just a Scottish drink, it is the

Scottish drink.

It's not bad.

They

are changing the recipe.

Why?

We saw

there, fans of this drink, Irn-Bru,

are putting up a fight because they

like the original, but in the film,

when they tested it, people couldn't

really tell the difference and they

haven't got a problem on their hands

probably, really, but have other

brands successfully changed recipe?

Been bobbing some have, some

haven't. People don't like being

told what to do. For instance,

Nestle with their Milky Bar, they

upped the milk, so there's now a

third of the content is now milk,

and sugar has gone down. Similarly

with Kit Kat. We haven't been that

bothered about those brands.

However, back in 2015, Cadbury's

creme eggs changed the shell on

dairy milk to some other recipe and

sales of their Easter lines well

down by £10 million. But they

insisted it wasn't because of a

recipe change. We don't like change.

Lucozade, quite an interesting one,

quite similar to Irn-Bru, Lucozade

in 2016 reduced their sugar content

so it was within the range it's

meant to be. 10,000 people signed a

petition saying they did not want

the change. It's been on Twitter,

this is brilliant. People were

saying, what happened to Orange

Lucozade? It tastes like bleach, a

completely different drink to what

it used to be. Somebody else said,

on Twitter, I've literally drunk

Lucozade orange every day for as

long as I remember. This change in

recipe is a personal attack!

LAUGHTER

We don't want this change. The next

big challenges Ribena.

Ribena?

They

had literally hundreds of different

versions of this drink, trying to

get the sugary version right so it's

down on the sugar but still has

sugar in it. They're super tasters,

who are in their factories, have got

to a point where they can't tell the

difference now, but we will be the

judge of that because the public, in

a couple of months, will be able to

see.

This is a misnomer, there is

neither iron, nor a brew.

That's

brewed in Scotland.

This is actually

brewed? Made with girders?

It's made

with girders!

I don't think this is

brewed. I think it's fermented.

LAUGHTER

What brands aren't changing and

aren't going to listen?

At the

moment Coca-Cola was unchanging.

They made a bit of a faux pas, I

remember.

Back in 1985.

With Coke

zero?

They changed it and it lasted,

they just changed the recipe, 479

days they held their ground and they

gave up because so many people said

they were drinking it Which for 79

days. They have lots of the roaster

fanned low-calorie stuff, so they do

have other choices -- they have

low-calorie stuff.

You consume less

by drinking less.

Lovely. You love

the Irn-Bru, Bryan. Have you dabbled

with any other UK British

traditions, like builders tea

restaurant have you done that yet?

I

don't know what builders tea is. Is

it for construction workers?

Strong

tea, with a dash of milk.

Fish and

chips?

Fish and chips, yes, there's

a place near the hotel I stayed at

when we were rehearsing the play,

that was quite good.

How long have

you been here now?

Since 1902!

LAUGHTER

Since late September.

You are doing

Network at the National Theatre.

Yes, Network at the National

Theatre.

Have you seen any other

parts of London?

I've seen the

rehearsal rooms, the stage. When I

rehearse and get a show on its feet

I really live very hermetic life.

You have to, you absolutely have to.

I go to work, I work. Now, my wife

is coming over, we'll have two one

half or three months here and we're

going to see and catch up on our

plays and museums and do all the

stuff.

We'll plan a route for you,

Bryan, we'll do Wales, Scotland,

beautiful Northern Ireland, we've

got it all sorted.

I wound my

wife...

This wife...

LAUGHTER

That's true! Which one was this?

This is the fourth... No! She was

doing a semester at Oxford and I

went up there and I went and punted,

I rented a punt on the Thames and I

was out there with the poles and I

pushed down and I didn't understand

how this goes and all of a sudden I

went, I guess I have to lift it, and

I lifted up the pole and the muck

and mire and watered started

cascading down on me and I knew it

was wrong! And yet I couldn't... I

went, this is bad! I hear some guy

drinking a pint on the bridge go,

use it as a rod. I went what? He

said, use it as all he slowed down.

Use it as rudder. Then of course,

but I was full of mud.

But she still

married you?

She still married me!

Bryan's new film, Last Flag Flying,

is set in 2003. He plays Sal, a

Vietnam vet, who is reunited with

two of his friends from the war.

It's a heart-warming story, but it's

also really, really funny.

What if I

don't like it and we get stuck with

a contract for a year, two years?

Two years.

What if we fall down?

What if you fell into a ditch and

you can't get up and nobody can see

you? It

you? It is adios. But with your

mobile phone, if you get it out, you

can see the numbers, help me, help

me, I've fallen and I can't get up.

Guys, 911 calls don't count against

your minutes, either.

If I say yes,

will you shut the hell up so we can

get our train?

I'll shut up.

APPLAUSE

It's a really, really lovely film. I

watched it last night. We saw you

with Laurence Fishburne and Steve

Carell. The three of you looked like

you struck up a hugely happy report.

We did. The movie is about male

bonding and friendships and how men

rekindle relationships, how they

deal with grief and loss in their

lives, but as you say, it's truly

entertaining and funny and

heartfelt. It's a complete movie.

It's really, really a wonderful film

and I'm very proud of it.

How do I

say this, Bryan? Your character is

kind of lovably irritable vesture

Mark

irritable?

How different are

the characters you play, are you

three?

If you ask my wife, I could

be irritable as well. But no, Sal,

my character, Sal, his kind of guy

who takes the air out of room.

Big

energy.

He wants to consume food and

drugs and...

Women.

Women and

everything, but he's also the first

want to say I will help you as a

friend. There's no ability in that.

He's got heart.

He's got hard, deep

down over his callous soul.

Steve

Carell, it's not the kind of role

you'd expect to see him do.

No, he

really anchors the whole film with

this man who is dealing with his own

loss and depression and through the

end you see a spark of hope. This

movie ends with such really glorious

hope. People are crying, people are

laughing throughout this film. It's

really terrific.

Sorry, go on.

It's

an interesting... It's an anti-war

film, but pro-military,

pro-soldiers, pro the guys on the

ground.

Right, I don't think that's

mutually exclusive. I think every

movie should be an anti-war movie.

War should be the last resort of any

conflict. This, when you remember

the military, it's like being a

member of a specific family. You are

allowed to criticise your own

family, but outsiders can't do that.

So inside they are talking about the

ridiculous missions they were on and

was this worth it? Were we just

pawns in this bigger battle that it

was dealing with military personnel

and politics? And we know, from

history now, that Vietnam and Iraq

were wrong. They weren't wars we

should have been fighting. It's not

like my father's war, World War II,

which had a clear and present

danger, and so if it starts that

conversation among the military as

well, hopefully then we can trust

our leaders and military personnel

to justify it, whatever conflict has

to happen.

There was a scene you found very

moving to film. It made you ask

yourself questions about how you

felt about the war and every war

that's been, I guess.

There's a

scene where we go to an aeroplane

hangar to claim the body of Steve

Carrell's son, his character son's

body and we shot that on Veterans'

Day. And it was solemn and

respectful. And we honour those who

serve in the military, both men and

women of any country. It's the

ultimate sacrifice that they are

making, that they are willing to

make. And we, who are storytellers,

want to be involved in that epic

story about when is it proper to

present that kind of conflict

resolution. And this deals with...

We showed this to military families

all over the place.

Talking of

which, this has been a very worrying

week for our National Health Service

with the news that long waits and

cancelled operations have been

happening, not just that, but nurses

are leaving the NHS in record

numbers.

It is easy to sympathise

with those who are turning their

back on the profession. We like to

accentuate the services. Three

nurses tell us why they aren't.

I am

a nurse consultant and I work for

the royal Blackburn teaching

hospitals. I do some roles a senior

doctor does. I do ward rounds.

Support nurses. My mum always worked

in hospitals, so I used to visit her

in the school holidays and love the

atmosphere of the hospital. That

encouraged me to go into nursing. I

would not consider leaving the NHS

because of the reaction you get from

the relatives and the patients, it

gives you that passion every day.

One moment that would sum up my

career is ten years ago when there

was a new clot busting treatment. We

delivered it to a patient and they

had a resolution from being

completely disabled to being

completely able-bodied in an hour.

We cried, me and the consultant. It

made us realise this is why we are

here, why we have been trained to do

what we do.

My name is Ken. I am a

community nurse based at Bristol

hospital. I have been qualified as a

nurse for almost 15 years. Prior to

that I had a life-changing moment,

as I used to be a dairy farmer. I

was in my late 20s. My wife had

recently qualified as a nurse. I

thought, if I don't change now I

probably never will. I have not

looked back. I think the biggest

thing for me, community nursing, is

being able to have a sense of

normality. You look after some

children with care needs. Sadly some

do die. It is being able to support

the families through those

challenging times. I have had

occasions where I have thought, not

leave my job, as in leave nursing,

but a change of focus. We've got

such a good working relationship

with the management team that they

will give you the time to have a

conversation. It gives you that

reminder that, actually I am doing

the right job.

My name is Collette. I am a senior

charge nurse at the royal Alexander

hospital in Paisley. I went into

nursing later in life. I wept back

to university in my 30s and decided

to do nursing. I have been nursing

12 years. I love my job very much. I

love the fact every day is

different. You never know. Every day

is a new challenge. When patients

come in, they are very vulnerable.

They can be at the lowest point and

it is a privilege to gain their

trust and to be involved in their

care. A few weeks ago I had

relatives say to me that I had made

a difference to their journey and

their mum's journey within the

hospital. They said to me, you have

actually listened to us, you have

listened to my mum. I felt really

good after it. I did. It was a nice

feeling. I thought, that is what I

set out to do in the beginning and I

am still doing it now.

Thanks to sharing your stories and

thanks to everyone who is working so

hard in the NHS, particularly at

this time of year.

Well said. Right

then Bryan, you will be familiar

with this from the sequence - the

opening sequence of Breaking Bad.

The periodic table, of course. We

will get some elements up here. And

hopefully you will tell us a story

relating to that specific element.

Oh, really! I mean, of course, of

course I will!

So our first one is Y

- Y is for Y-fronts!

For shaking... And when I start to

wiggle, my nipples, they will

wiggle. Oh, ah-oh, oh...

Once again

I have to be embarrassed for both of

us.

Yes!

I mean, will you take a

role if you don't have to wear them?

I have the world's worst agent.

Where he interpreted nudity cause as

being nude, as opposed to not

being... I don't know! Listen, I

think if you have no shame

whatsoever this is what you end up

doing.

Isn't it funny, tighty

whiteys - Y fronts are funny. They

are funny. They are a funny

undergarment.

Funny or sad.

We go to

He, normally for helium, but for

you, Bryan, we have made it

heartbreak hotel. That particular

Elvis song has a special meaning to

you, doesn't it?

Oh, I know where

you're going.

Thank God!

Oh, no, I

don't know what you mean.

Your

brother. Remember?

I was on a

motorcycle travelling the country

for two years, just getting odd jobs

in places and we stopped in Florida

and we would volunteer to do open

mic night, sing songs. So I sang a

lot of Elvis songs - Heart Break

Hotel and...

Don't Be Cruel.

And

occasionally we would actually win

and so...

You have a voice?

# Don't be cruel

# To a heart that's true

# I want no other lover

# Baby it's just you

# I'm thinking of. You've got the

look as well, man! To do that

Vy!

You do the whole thing!

But not, I'm like you, I am not a

singer. I don't consider myself a

singer. You are a singer.

HO is

for... Holium. We are making it

homicide. Were you wanted for

murder?

Quick... Move away.

For a

short period of time there was what

was an all points bulletin put out

on me and my brother looking for...

We were murder suspects.

What?

Yes!

One of the odd jobs when we were on

our motorcycles was in a Chinese

restaurant and the Chinese cook was

this horrible man named Peter Wong.

He was horrible to everybody. He

was, he was filled with greed and he

would go out with big wads of money,

go to the dog track and someone

clobbered him, stuck him in a trunk

and...

But it wasn't you? Just tell

us that?

Will it make me even more

dangerous if it was me? No! No.

It

wasn't him!

I mean I clobbered him

but I didn't...

It is fair to say

that Bryan didn't murder that

particular man, but he's no strange

tore a bee, as this picture shows.

It is extraordinary! George is

taking a leaf out of his book and

he's seeking out the beewolf, which

is a waps, which we the would be

Walter White's favourite.

The sandy soils of central and

southern England are swarming with

life, but today I am looking for a

tiny killer. It is one of the

largest solitary wasps in Britain -

the beewolf. It has earnt its name

in the way it dispatches its prey,

the honey bee. They will carry honey

bees back to their bureaus and bury

them alive in the sand to feed their

young. It is that grizzly act I want

to see today. Once considered

extremely rare and found only in the

south of England, climate change has

allowed beewolf populations to

spread as far north as Blackpool. I

have come to RSPB in Suffolk to meet

Matt #16 peace process parrot. -- to

meet Matt Parrott.

They are good

mothers. They go out catch honey

bees, paralyse them, bury them up to

a metre in the ground.

I have never

seen a beewolf actually carrying a

honey bee. What are the chances we

will see it today?

It is good

weather. It is highly likely you

will see them.

will see them.

I will hold you to

that. Our cameraman is here to help

to reveal all the action.

These

These are the beewolf Burrows here.

There you are. It is popping out of

its burrow there. They dig one of

the most impressive nests of any UK

species and all the work is done by

the female. She's taken out quite a

pile of sand there. All of these

wasps have specialised front feet

with sort of combs on them, with

which they can dig really, really

well.

Over the course of several days,

she'll dig a nest as deep as a metre

and create up to 30 chambers along

it, ready to lay her eggs in. But

some beewolfs prefer to let others

do the digging and will preifer to

steal a fully excavated burrow from

another. And beewolfs will stop at

nothing to defend their nests.

Now she's defended her burrow, it is

time to stock it with paralysed but

still living bees. And that's what I

want to see.

Look at this.

A bee right here: Right in front of

me. Over the next few days a single

beewolf will hunt, paralyse and

carry home up to 200 honey bees,

which she will bury in the chamber

she's dug, ready for her young to

feed on. It is quite an

extraordinary feat of strength, with

each bee weighing as much as the

beewolf itself. By keeping the bees

alive they will stay fresher,

providing a better food source for

their young. It is amazingvy lived

up to 62 and I have never -- amazing

I have lived up to 62 and I have

never seen this. This, for me, is an

amazing day. Bee wolfs pack an

extraordinary amount into their 40

days adult life. She's found a mate.

She's dug one of the most impressive

nests of any UK insect. She's

hunted, carries and buried up to 200

honey bees and given her young the

very best possible chance in life.

They say as busy as a bee, but

perhaps as busy as a beewolf would

be more appropriate.

Well, there you go. Thank you to

Bryan.

Last flag flying is in cinemas on

Sunday.

Have a lovely weekend.
