19/03/2012 The One Show

Hello and welcome to The One Show with Matt Baker and Alex Jones.

This evening our guest is the presenter of morning morning

morning who was on the This Morning this morning, but is with us this

evening. Now she has herself a Saturday job on the biggest show on

telly. Welcome, the Vixen, the Presenter of The Voice UK, Holly

Willoughby. Thank you! So, you are doing all of

these massive telly shows, but we have it on good authority, that you

did want to be a vet. Have a look at this... Originally I wanted to

be a vet, but my cat was run over, so I thought I don't want to do

that. I want to be famous, a supermodel, but I very much doubt

that will ever happen, but I can hope. Of course, I'm a natural

blonde. So pleased about that How do you feel about that? I was

quite young. I was all quite posh. I must have been 13, 12, maybe?!

Well, supermodel's loss was our gain.

We are expecting an interuption on the programme at some point by a

cricketing legend trying to break a World Record. He will be needing...

And me, an assistant. I can't wait. Now, the The One Show 1,000 epic

relay run across the UK is growing great guns. It set off from the

Isle of Man on Friday. Over the last three days, 251 show show

viewers have been gamely running one mile. Some have had to do extra.

News is in, Stacey Hossell is running the 303rd mile. We are

meeting her soon. If you go on to the website, follow the route live:

There are lots of photos of everyone who has run so far.

Here are a couple of our favourites. Here is this one here. This is 295

from Northern Ireland. The good thing is, because it is a

mile, they can dress up. They can do whatever they want.

Lucy is in Scotland at the next handover point. There they are! Hi,

Lucy! They should be running?! We are catching up with them shortly.

In folklore, trols are ugly spiteful creatures who hide in the

dark. In technology term it is is not that much different. Trols are

people who hide online and write nasty remark on the website with

the intention to hurt. Richard Bacon discovered that their actions

can have devastating effects. Richard Bacon, Monday to Thursday.

Welcome to the programme... It is great to be back.

I've had a troll for two years. He appeared when I began to present a

new show on BBC Radio Five live. From the off, he knead clear that

he hated the show and he mate hated me. That is fine, you expect

criticism in my line of work, you know that some people will not like

what you do, but this guy was obsessive. At least I'm able to

defend myself. There are people who sink to more disturbing lows,

targeting those who have died. These so-called RIP trols post sick

jokes, defaced pictures and videos on internet memorial pages,

commemorating the dead. Tom Maloney's family know how merciless

online hating and RIP froling can be. Tom took his life in May, 2010,

when he was just 156789 He was fun-loving. Always out with

his friends. Never still for five minutes. If he was on the bike you

heard the screech of the tyres. The gate would go bang, upstairs, on

the computer. On the evening before his death,

Tom had received threatening messages on Facebook. After he died

a Facebook site set up to remember him was targeted by trols who

attacked en masse, posting defaced images of Tom and upsetting

messages. Here are pictures of my brother

decapitated. Of him hanging himself... Horrible stuff. They

took a photo of my brother, I think it was that one, they put a noose

around it. You did not know about internet

trolling before, neither your parents, what impact did it have on

them? My mum was disgusted and angry, my dad was the same. It was

hard to see them really upset. Just what would motivate a person

to post such vile abuse on a memorial website? Some people are

doing it to intimidate, to frighten, to control. Others are doing it

purely for notoriety. To get their own following.

Dr Emma Short is a leading expert online harassment.

If you live your life largely online, that margin blurs, the

impact you are having almost becomes irrelevant. The reward is

the behaviour itself. You feel good, it gets nastier and nastier.

Colin Coss is one person who has been trolling in the UK and

prosecuted. This gives a real insight into the mind of a troll.

Purely provocative, they made me laugh. It is so over the top, that

anyone who take it is seriously must be a sensitive soul.

In October, 2010Coss was given an 18-week prison sentence, but we

have seen evidence he may be at it. We want to find out why he feel it

is is OK to troll online, abusing people who are dead. So I have come

to Manchester it ask him. I am Richard from the BBC. Here is

what I want to know, why do you do it? Why troll? I realise what you

want to ask, but I said I don't want to take part. Why not? I don't

have to. You are just a TV programme.

I don't have to take part. Nobody has been prosecuted for

defouling Tom's siefplt but what may have been a joke to the trolls

has only added to Tom's family trauma.

I thought those are our family pictures, why have you done this?

That is my son there... That you have violated. They have no right

to do it, the internet should be able to stop them from doing that.

So, Richard, that was just a taste, then. That was a taste of your

programme that is airing on BBC Three tonight. How much of a

problem would you say this is, then? It has become a really big

problem in the last few months. There has been a huge explosion of

Of teenagers, a third of teenagers say that they have been the victim

of cyberbullying. If you think about that, that is an enormous

number, isn't it? As a parent, you really... I watched the documentary,

you feel so much for the parents, thinking how do you protect your

children from this? As far as the sites are concerned, what

responsibility are they taking? Can they police it? It is hard for them

to police if you think about how big Facebook is, how many people

are on there, they cannot monitor all posts on all social networking

sites, but what they say is that they have clear rules against

harassment. So if you you report abuse, report that someone is

harassing you they will do something about it. They have a

clear rule against people stealing identities as well. I have

basically had, my way into this was through a guy who has been

harassing me. I have had several of his sites taken down. How bad did

get for you? It is like you take one page down, but they just set up

another site with an address. once they react to it, it is like

they feel they are one point up and continue and grow.

It is good, that in certain circumstances, you have read about

it in the press, the police have gotten involved that is a positive

step forward. You do get the sense that the

police are taking it more seriously. You say in the programme, not to

feed the trols, that means not to answer back? That is exactly right.

The expert advice is to not feed them. Block them and keep the

evidence. The police themselves, like Facebook, they have not got

the resources to monitor social networking sites, looking for

illegallity, but will react to a complaint. One thing I have learned

is that this is illegal. Trolls hide behind freedom of expression,

that they can say what they like, but they are not. Under the 2003

Communications Act if you harass someone, causing them, "Unnecessary

anxiety." It is illegal. That is what I have done, go to the police.

And try to do your best to talk to your Thailand about this.

Most children will not speak to their parents.

Yes, do not keep it to yourself. The The Anti-Social Network is on

at 9.00pm on BBC Three. It does contain graphic content that we

cannot show at 7.00pm. If you need help or advice on Siberia

burlyinging or trolling, there -- on Siberia bumying -- cyberbullying,

please have a look at the website. Time to catch up with Lucy on the

The One Show 1,000 relay route. Lucy, we know you are in Scotland,

but where, exactly? I'm in Cairnryan. A stone's throw away

from Stranraer. Our runners have taken us over 300 miles. Only 700

miles to go. Stacey Hossell is to be arriving any moment, where she

is to hi-five Bans Walker who will carry on this epic relay. They are

part of a long list of runners taking us from the aisle of mull to

the PallMall. Anybody can join in. Now, it is like the Olympics down

here it is incredible. We have netballers, a football team. We

have got long distance swimmers. We have got a power-lifter, very

highly decorated. This areas area is famous for producing curling

champions. So we have a curling team. Amazing! Now, Bans Walker,

you are standing by, you are raring to go. You are ready to get set off

as soon as Stacey gets here. How are you feeling? Very excited it

should be great fun. Is that your own hair? It look

great, doesn't it, of course! you have come from quite far away?

I live in Amsterdam now, but I watch the One Show. I love it

We love how keen you are. Thank you very much, do your warm-up

exercises. Ladies from the curling team is there anything you can do

to speed Babs on her way? Brilliant. Wow it is very noisy down here. Our

run verse enjoyed sleet, rain, potholes this is what they got up

to over the weekend. Over the weekend, hundreds have

completed their miles across Scotland. Running from invery airy

to Cairnryan. They've covered this gruelling

distance by day and by running through the night.

And by this morning, the relay arrived in Belfast, Northern

Ireland. Welcome to Belfast! First up is

Chris. He is hoping to get something more out of his mile.

I used to be about 20 stone. And kind of on a mission to show

people I have turned a corner. Chris is picked up by a bus full of

eager runners ready to be transported to their designated

starting point. I have never run, but we do the

Sport Relief Mile every time with my family.

Some may be slow, but the rapping puts the Fast into Belfast! I like

to dance, I like to sing, I wiggle my bum in just about anything!

it appears that Been, the Rapping Bear is having a wardrobe

malfunction! Well done to that bear for getting through the wardrobe

malfunction. Amazing. Thank you to the runners. They have taken us

from Glasgow, through Scotland, over to Edinburgh, and to Belfast

via the ferry. Stacey is here. Well done, a hi-five, please! Babs, on

your way! Stacey, how was it? Really wet.

You did it. What are the sausages? These are sausages as I'm a

battered sausage and everyone in Scotland love as sausage.

Why did you want to do this today? It is ten minutes of my time. That

makes a real different to many people's lives and ten minutes is

nothing. I can't thank you enough. This is

what it is all about, thank you! So, the same time, different place, we

will be somewhere in Northumbria 24 hours from now. We will tell you

what is going on. Meeting more runners, thank you very much to

everyone who has run already, see you then, please donate! All of

that is really getting us into the plood for the Olympics. Lucy, --

into the mood for the Olympics! I have first-hand experience of how

your money make as difference. Last year I visited Zambia and saw how a

sim cataract operation saved Joseph's sight and then he could

return to work and support his children.

Thank you very much. Now, let's talk about The Voice UK.

Let's do it! It starts on Saturday. I can't wait. We saw 20 minutes, I

am hooked! It is an amazing show. It really is. It is one of those

shows, when you are working on it, you can feel the excitement

rumbling through. Even the crew. Everybody. We were all gathered

around the monitor to see it. It is so exciting.

How does it work? The idea is that the artists come on and audition in

front of the coaches. The coachs have their backs turned to them

while performing. So the way that they get to progress is purely down

to the sound of their voice it is vocal ability alone it does not

matter how you look, what you wear, whether there is a story behind you

that sometimes influences things, none of that.

And the judges? They are great. They are not here to judge people,

to say don't give up your day job, they are here to mentor and help.

So we have Jessie J, Tom Jones, Danny O'Donoghue and will.i.am?

is like Dragon's Den? Yes. It is a bit. If one coach turns around and

the artist is singing in front of them, they get paired up, but if

two coaches turn around it is up to the artist on the stage when they

want to mentor them. So the coach then has to have a face-off.

It is a funny scene, Tom Jones pitching against will.i.am! Saying

I am better as I have played with Elvis! Exactly.

Let's have a look. # I got a feeling

# That tonight's gonna be a good night

# That tonight's gonna be a good night

# That tonight's gonna be a good, good night

# I got a feeling... # Brilliant. They are like an amazing super

group? That is the start of the show. You see them coming together

to do this amazing performance. From then on you are sold that here

are four of the world's biggest artists in the music who are into

this. Some contestants are brave, they

sing the artist's songs in the audition. We have Jessica Hammond

here. Let's have a look.

Why is everybody so serious... # You have chains on your eyes

# And the heels on the... # You can't even have a good time

# Everybody look to the left # Everybody look to the right #

There you go! And she is 17 and literally sings in her bedroom. She

has a song book of what she has written. It is her life. It gets

her through every day. For her, it would not be any other competition

that was good enough to tern. This is what she stands for.

All Iwaned was a swivel chair to play at home! I know. We are doing

it back stage. You can just shut your eyes, that is the easier way.

There will be so many people watching it, but not at the same

time! So, any surprises then as far as the auditions are concerned?

There are surprises. There will be people that people know who have

had careers. People that will walk on stage and audition, but the

judges don't know that I would have swung around and then

wanted to go back, but they can't do that. Once the judges have

turned, that's it. But you are going up against

Britain's Got Talent on Saturday? Yes, I know, I know! Will it be a

ratings war? I don't know. We are not terning into it. It is the same

as when Jessie J says that the music industry is not having a

number bun, -- one it is about touring, writing the music. For us,

it is not about winning, nor the number one, it is about having the

perfect show. Having seen the preview, I know

what I will be watching. The Voice UK at 7.00pm on Saturday.

Now, Mike has discovered that a voice that is singing in the trees

is far more competitive than any talent show contest ant! Few sounds

symbolise spring like the call of the cuckoo, but behind this

evocative call lies a bird that has evolved a highly complex method of

deception, that is it -- that it is worthy of one of our best crime

thrillers. The kuek sue a major conartist. He

does not build a nest or raise his own chicks it tricks other birdsing

into do just that. Reed wash 8ers build their nests

and the cuckoo sits to watch and wait. As soon as the bird is away

from the nest, the cuckoo flies in and removes one egg and sneaks in

one of its own. So how on earth does he get away with it? Down in

the vaults at Cardiff University, Dr Mary Stoddard reveals that a

better a cuckoo matches his egg to the host bird, the more successful

it is in fooling it. What do we have here? There are

three reed warbler eggs. Here a cuckoo imposter lays its own egg

that matches the colour and the pattern of the post.

So, the female has evolved to match the towing the reed warbler, can

they do that at will? No, they cannot lay a bluing egg one day, a

speckled egg one day. So each only ever lays one egg type there. Are

other females targeting pied wagtails or meadow pip ets or

donocks. They will always lay the one egg type that is the best match

to the specific target host. Mimicking the egg is a clever

strategy, but the deception of the cuckoo goes way beyond that. A as

soon as the egg has hatched, the cuckoo's instinct is to eject the

eggs or the chicks from the nest. It has even developed a hallowed

out back to aid eviction. You could say it is pre-freemed destroy.

-- pre-programmed to destroy. Once the chick is the soul occupant of

the nest, it has 100% of the parent bird's attention, therefore 100% of

the food supply. The chick gets so big, it dwafbs the parent bird.

That is a spectacle that I really want to see. Here on Dartmoor, Mark

Lawrence is an expert nest-finder. I don't know how you find these

nests. How old are these chicks? Five chicks looking healthy, but

Mark is taking me to another meadow pip et nest with a different story.

There will be a shock when you see this.

There it is. Oh, my word! Look at the size of

that! The most fantastic gape as well! I have to say, Mark, that is

one of the finest moments of my life. I have never seen a cuckoo

chick, look at the red gape. There is a bird sitting up on top of the

tree. That is the host? That is a meadow Pippet. It obviously wants

to get back to feed it. So, that is what we will do. Hang back by the

tree and watch. Here comes the adult bird coming in.

Look at that. I have to say that the size

difference between the female or the male meadow pippet adult is

ridiculous. For some, the cuckoo's behaviour seems monstrous, but the

hard-working pippett will have another brewed next year, but I can

only marvel at this genius of a bird.

They are not very nice, are they? It is truly remarkable, but that

does not come close to Holly's connection with cuckoos.

I have the most amazing story... Hello! Nice to see you, Freddie! We

were expecting you! You have had a busy day? Yes, we've been trying to

break and set world records all day for Sport Relief.

Has it been successful? Yes, we have gotten up to 13.

Now, I hear you need an assistant in the shape of me? This is for the

last one, I have to tape somebody to a wall.

You have to hang there like a bat strapped to the wall.

Let's give it a go! I'm not doing it. I'm heavier! Let's have a look

to see if this is your liking? Is it to a record- -- world-record

taper's liking? What does Freddie have to do to make this legitimate?

He has to duct tape a person to the wall. The person being taped to the

wall needs to weigh at least 50 kilograms! Yes, I am fat enough!

The space in which they are taped is no larger than 155 centimetres.

That is fine. The record to beat is 4 1.6 seconds, but as... APPLAUSE.

As Freddie said, though, once he has taped Alex to the wall, she has

to stay there for a minute without falling. So it is down to Freddie's

taping ability as to whether she stays to the wall or not. She

starts on a block, after the taping she has to take the block out while

remaining stuck to the wall. I need you to sit like you are sat

on the toilet. Over. Over. Put your arms in.

Are you ready? One, two, three, go! Don't be shy! Arms out like that?

This is exciting! Ten seconds are gone.

He's going for the swing shape! I like that.

20 seconds in. Can we help? No. No.

No helping! This is good. 5, 43, 2, 1, stop! Stop taping. We

are going to remove the block. No! It has not worked! APPLAUSE

Well, Freddie. Well, you know what, it was a good

effort. It is fine. That is a shame, but lake you said,

you have beaten the record of the record you were after this morning?

We had a lot of fun doing it, but it is obviously about Sport Relief.

Raising awareness. Would you say that covering Holly

in paper was more effective than that? Not really! That was probably

a better attempt than this morning! Oi! You can only do the best with

what you are working with! Thank you very much.
