19/05/2016 The One Show

Hello and welcome to The One Show, with Matt Baker.

Tonight's guest is a man who loves to be in front of the TV cameras,

either singing, hosting game shows or traveling

He loves it so much, he barely has enough time to be

Will somebody connect this bag? I am very sad. My travel plans have died.

The Jim White! Timber! I have been trapped! Have fallen!

It went off! What a commitment. That will be the third one you have

posted since this afternoon. It is aborted to have the fans involved,

they have put me in this position of celebrity -- it is important. I

thought I should get them on social media. I am open wooded. Apparently

you don't do it! You have got to get on the social. I am always on a

camera somewhere, I don't want you put my opinions on people too much.

You don't do your opinions. You just give an insight into you having a

great day, I am doing this, and if somebody has an opinion, you go,

what I think really is... But you have got to be careful.

Just so John doesn't have withdrawal symptoms from not posting online

videos for the next 30 minutes, he'll be posting short

ones during the show, and you can view them

They will not match this. These have been sent in by a golden eagle, we

will see more of these images later. It is ground-breaking. When I say

she is massive, she is huge. Depending on which articles you've

read, you either believe e-cigarettes are a blessing

to smokers who want to quit or a dangerous new way to keep them

addicted to nicotine. It can be hard to see the facts

through all the smoke. On the eve of new EU

rules set to regulate e-cigarettes for the first time,

Michael Mosley has been In the UK almost 3 million people

use e-cigarettes. This bit of technology has absolutely exploded

into our lives. Ten years ago they barely existed, now they are

everywhere. Science is scrabbling to keep up, and the experts are

bitterly divided. They could turn out to be one of the greatest public

health innovations of our generation. We really don't know

what the long-term effects will be. I want to uncover the truth about

e-cigarettes and so I will put them through some rigorous tests. I have

challenged eight heavy smokers to try to quit smoking using them as a

substitute for four weeks. To find out what effect they have on a

nonsmoker like myself, I will take them up for a month. We have all

undergone a barrage of health tests that we will repeat at the end of

the experiment. Hold this button down for two to three seconds,

inhale from the device. It is not as aggressive as a

cigarette. Not at all. A minty flavour. I have committed to using

my e-cigarette for four weeks, and I am aiming for 120 posts a day. As a

nonsmoker, this is against recommended advice. E-cigarettes

were invented to help smokers quit. These battery-powered devices need a

liquid which usually contains nicotine to produce a vapour. This

has a different chemical composition from cigarette smoke, which contains

6000 chemicals, 100 of which are harmful to humans. In this diagram,

every peak is a toxin. Compare this to e-cigarette vapour, there are

fewer peaks. Data like this has led experts to be glued that

e-cigarettes are at least 95% less harmful than smoking. The heavy

smokers who tried them in our test found them useful. I have no urge to

smoke. I have been smoke-free for four weeks. How much did you smoke

before? 30 a day. Quite a lot. For 30 years. When we retested him and

the other smokers who quit using e-cigarettes, we found significant

health improvements, including lower toxins and improved heart function.

I am a nonsmoker, and so what has my habit been doing to me? I have come

to the Royal Brompton Hospital to have my lungs tested. Every time you

puff, there is an insult to your airway cells. A mild injury? Yes,

that increased information into abnormal areas. This is a very

immediate reaction which does go away. But he does not yet know

whether this causes any long-term damage. This finding is not the only

cause for concern. Researchers in the states are finding that some of

the flavours in e-cigarettes could damage Airways. These are often

flavours that are safe to eat but potentially harmful when inhaled.

Surprisingly, they found mental flavour to be worse than Pina

Colaba, but none of the flavours were anything like as dangerous as

tobacco smoke. After four weeks of vaping, I am happy to say goodbye to

my temp crow, but this has made me re-evaluate my opinion. When I

started, I was sceptical about the benefits, but I have changed my

mind. If you are not a smoker, taking up this is a stupid thing to

do. But if I was a smoker, despite the uncertainties and potential

downsides, I would give it a go. Worldwide, there are about a billion

smokers, and half of them will be killed by their habit. If

e-cigarettes can win a significant share of the trillion dollar tobacco

market, this could transform the world's health.

Michael, you vaped for four weeks and had a schedule to stick to.

120 posts a day, did you feel any negative effects afterwards, or were

you craving it? My wife thought it was an insane thing to do, she is a

GP. My kids thought it was insane. On the street, people said, you are

a doctor, why are you smoking? And actually, apart from that, I

struggled to keep up with the schedule, because it is quite

difficult around here to post that amount. I had calls from the

researcher about taking you're in samples, measuring the nicotine

levels, they said, you are not smoking enough, smoke more! We saw

part of a programme that will be on on Sunday night. One of the focuses

is to compare e-cigarettes with other methods of giving up smoking.

How did they compare? What we found was we compared a bunch of hard-core

smokers who had been smoking 20, 30 a day, even up multiple times and

failed, we allocated them to either e-cigarettes, patches or going cold

turkey. The cold turkey group did really badly, they struggled,

whereas e-cigarettes and patches did pretty well, two thirds gave up the

six weeks. We will follow them for longer. It was really powerful.

Their stories are extraordinary, many of them began at 14, they have

spent ?120,000 over a lifetime. It is really sad. There is this thing

with e-cigarettes that could transform health. The statistic at

the end, there are a billion smokers, 500 million people will die

from cigarette related diseases over the next 50 years. You have got to

do something about it. Telling them to stop will not work. Even so,

e-cigarettes are still an unknown quantity. In America, they are a lot

more sceptical. I don't use them, but they are advertised everywhere.

I had my nieces with me, she asked me for one, I said, no way! She is

14. That is what worries me. They are marketing them, you can choose

to do what you want as an adult, but putting flavours in... And pretty

colours. Are they trying to attract a younger group? It is not good. You

cannot sell it to minors in the UK, or advertise to them, able put

regulations over it. From my experience, my daughter thought it

was really uncool that I was doing it. She said none of her friends

were interested. The evidence is clear, 99.9% of people who do read

our former smokers. The number of people who take it up like I did is

very low. I felt no compulsion to continue at all. I was worried I

would become addicted. As an expert, were you surprised by what you

discovered? I was astonished, I was sceptical, but I discovered so much.

You see a fraction of it. Really interesting research. Also into the

benefits to the brain of consuming nicotine into your form. Nicotine is

not dangerous, it is not addictive, except in e-cigarette. It is the

burning that matters, they have a big study in the states, giving it

to people at risk of Alzheimer's. It is an interesting story, I found it

fascinating. But that not be awesome if something that was so detrimental

to go health for the longest period, this is my fantasy, that nicotine

could help your something that was so detrimental? That is exactly

where they are intending to go. They are not recommending it yet, but it

seemed to work best in people showing signs of decline. Watch this

space. That is a different conversation, but thank you.

E-Cigarettes: Miracle Or Menace is on this Sunday, BBC Two

at 9.30pm, and 10.25pm in Northern Ireland.

Now, they say a problem shared is a problem halved.

Well, it's just as well that Esther is the one halving the problem,

because she's sharing it with half of Bishop Stortford.

I love my mum and she is a doting grandmother, but she just cannot say

no to my three-year-old son. She eating chocolate and sweets he

should not have, she has him to run rampant through the house, which I

don't think it's acceptable, but how can I discipline her without hurting

her feelings? That is from Rebecca in London. Let's see what the good

people of Bishop Stortford have to advise. You have a mum? Yes, his

grandmother. She is the worst, worse than I am. You can bat an eyelid and

she melts. Would she and are you to eat that? Yes. She lets me get away

with most things. Has she ever said, you must not let her do this? Yes, I

asked her for McDonald's, she said, here is the money, and she gave it

back to her. Where are you going to night? Nanny and grandad's. Does she

let you do what you like? Yes. They all spoil them, as they should.

Thank you, I think so too! Are you a grandmother? Yes, mine are 27 now.

You still give them chocolate? Of course! They say, we spoil -- you

spoil us! I say, that is what grandmas for! You got me! How do you

train a grandmother? Look at what your daughter is doing, and follow

her. Even if you disagree? Yes. That is not my child. I am only the

grandmother. That is a microphone. It is not edible. Tilburg about

grandparents, do they spoiled children? My mother is the worst. It

is lovely, but she give them food that he can't have. You have to say,

thank you for your help, and the appreciative, but say, I know my

child, this will not work. I will say about the child's health, we

have to make sure this child lives to an old age, let's look after his

body. It is genetic. There is a love inside and which cannot be changed.

Do anything I like! What age is that? 80. You look about 60. You are

lovely! LAUGHTER

These in thing, chocolate, but bring on the Toryism be close, and these

sleepovers -- bring on the Toryism the clothing. -- bring on the toys.

I don't want them to think of uncle John as being mean and call John, it

is gracious uncle John. When they go wrong, you just hand them back. You

now write books for them. With your sister. Yes my sister Carole. It is

called Conjuror. Can you read out the description? Happily. There are

things in this world that 17-year-old would guard with his

life. His gold pendant, is blues harmonica and his mother's Journal.

This is all he has left of his murdered family and he believes

these objects will lead him to their killers. Together, Remi, Matt and

Emma must race to history, but evil forces are rising in the world, will

be final battles save them or destroy them? -- the final battle.

It is dark. It is very dark. The publishers said young people aged 13

and upwards, they want something dark and frightening, we were told

to make it more scary in some chapters and we went ahead and did

it and it is doing very well, number seven in the Young adult novels in

the country and we are very happy. I'm sure you are. Congratulations.

How does it work in terms of the research which mocked it is quite

factual. It is, we include art and music and we went on a big road

trip. Through Spain in a van I have, called Barry Vanilow. Brilliant

name. LAUGHTER That is my sister Carole, and that

is as getting ready to leave to go on the trip through France and to

Spain and then back to the UK. The purpose was to gather research for

the book? The penultimate scene in the book ends up in Spain, we go

from Scotland to London and then to Spain, but how we get there, you

have got to read the book to find out. It is a lovely process. You and

Carole spend a lot of time together and you craft it while you are on

holiday. That is right. We did crafting before that, there is a

month period where Carole, she will stay with Scott and IM we thrash out

the ideas and then she takes the information and she writes it. She

does the hard work. I'm not gifted in that way. She will then ring me

up and say, I got a question, and at one stage she was in tears because

we are going to kill a character. She said, I can't do it. She said, I

fallen in love with him. I said, click, by. You can read about the

incredible adventures, Conjuror is out now.

To the Highlands now, where a new camera system is giving

the phrase "eagle-eyed" a whole new meaning.

This year 's late spring snowstorms brought spectacular wintry

landscapes to the northern half of the country. What better way to get

a look at them from on-board a white tailed eagle, the UK's largest bird

of prey? Barry and Roxanne from a leak for Querrey have developed a

remarkable Cameron systems for their eagle -- from elite for Querrey.

They invited The One Show to show what they revolutionary technology

can do. The Eagles is nervous and so she's wearing a hood. The camera she

has on her back gives us the view of the back of the eagle's head and it

looks across the countryside at the view she says, and the one on her

chest, that is very good for when the bird is approaching game or

fish. We can then slowly write down and start to see the world the way

the Eagle sees it. They weigh next to nothing? Between the two of them,

barely two ounces, but the challenge has been at getting beam out right

so we can take into account the structure of the bird and the

physiological shape -- has been getting the position right. Why will

you tempted to mount cameras on her? Interest, curiosity, we want to

understand what the bird is up to and it gives us the opportunity to

have a look into their private life, in the air, which we are never

privileged enough to see. Now it is time for The Eagles to take to the

skies with her two metre wings. It is so effortless. She takes the wind

and she goes. Absolutely, she will catch the updraught and she will go

up and up and she hardly has two beta wing in order to do that. The

approaching snowstorm obscures the view. You can see it is really

coming in, it she's just a shadow in the distance, but she will cope with

the weather fine. She will be fine. They have this kind of weather in

this part of Scotland, she will not be fazed at all. Luckily for us, the

wind blows the snow and ploughed away, giving Mara the chance to show

us the Highlands as you've never seen them before -- cloud away. When

she is out there, what is she looking for? Mainly fish, but also

other things, sea birds, ducks, geese, and goals. How long that you

stay up there looking for prey? She has been up there for a long time

and that has not faced. They have enormous wing to body size and they

are very efficient and they can stay up for hours and hours. But now it

is time for Roxanne to bring her in, the cameras capturing her journey

down to us. Look at those talons coming down, monstrous. Barry and

Roxanne's determination to see the world through Eagle's eyes have seen

them develop another unique camera rig. A specially built tank

supporting slow motion waterproof cameras, months of fine Juninho made

it possible to capture the moment that an eagle captures a fish in

close-up detail -- fine tuning. Slowing down the action shows

exactly what is going on, the talons are pushed forward, bumps on the

bottom of the feet help to grip the supreme skin of the fish and it is

all over in seconds. -- slippery skin. Thanks to Mara and incredible

camera technology and a lot of patience, we are able to witness in

detail the remarkable skill of one of our top avian predators. STUDIO:

Just remarkable footage. It is like a big vulture. Look at the size of

Mara. Huge. Her feet are size six. Talking of impressive photos, you

said you are not always on holiday, but we have a holiday snap. Is this

you on the front row? It is. I look little crooked. Would you trust that

child? My mother, that is asked in Florida and my mother is dressing as

up in shirts and ties -- that is us. Look at my mother with her skunk

hairdo. You look like your dad. I'm chuffed, because he looks very

handsome. That is good. Lovely photo. The characters in your book

has special powers which allow them to bring art to life.

But Tuffers has met a bloke in East London who can do much

the same with a bit of wood and a splash of paint.

You might have seen 3-D pictures using this, or one days, but now I

will meet an artist who makes something you do not need any fancy

deer to look at. Welcome to the strange world of Patrick Hughes.

This is amazing. At first it looks like a standard painting of an art

gallery, until you start to move. It follows you around the room. If you

move one way it rotates, and then it is doing it again. As you move this

way, it moves that way, and as you move this way it rotates round that

way. When you are over here, it is as if you are over there in that

room. When you go down, you become very tall. I know. The whole thing

works in reverse. It is all to do with perspective. Yes, the way we

see the world, I've made at the way we see the world. If you go closer,

it is coming out. Oh! The vanishing point is coming towards you. I saw

that back there as being further away, but it is actually sticking

out. It is the same with these Brillo pads. The boxes look like

they are coming out. I put my finger in there, and they create the

illusion of being boxes. But they not. They are hollow. Is this an

optical illusion? It is more than that. It is your whole body, it is

what your feet and your knees are telling you as well as your eye.

Patrick discovered reverse perspective when he was an art

student in the 60s. I thought I would make a perspective which

sticks out and I made it flat on the table, but when I put it out on the

wall, facing me, it receded, which surprised and amazed me. In the

model, the fireball, it is closer to your icon and close things further

away -- the FAI is closer to your eye. Ever since then, it has been

variations on that theme. His reverse perspective paintings have

become so successful he now has a huge team to help him keep up with

demand and they sell around the world. If you fancy one it will cost

of a few thousand two ?100,000. He is how you make one. Patrick creates

the shape of the painting from wood and then it is up to the studio

where Justin Payne is it white and adds the sky. -- paints it white. On

the computer Donna takes the flat design and changes the perspective

to fit the wooden shape. There she goes, squeeze it in. It is not all

done by computer. No. Back in the studio, Ian traces the design and

transfers it to the wood and canvas. -- wooden. Finally, the artist can

get to work with oil paint. We are nearly finished now, what is it like

working for Patrick? It is great. He's a brilliant teacher. I've

learned a lot from working with him, about art and life. Patrick, time

for the big reveal. At the moment it is looking like you have lots of

hills, but now we can see what it is like when it is on the easel. He has

done it again. As soon as the Venice scene is up right it pops to life in

3-D. This is an experience which has got to be shared. What is going on.

When you go up you can see it. Try that one. Bounce up and down. Is it

a painting? It is. That is phenomenal, absolutely phenomenal.

When I went right over there, it looks like it comes right out, and I

was completely fascinated by it, and I think it is really clever. People

love these pictures, they are addictive and you can't help playing

around with them. Although they do mess with your head a bit. STUDIO: I

would like to see one in the flesh. Doctor Who or Torchwood, are you

coming back? I would love to, but I don't know, so keep watching. You

don't know? No, I don't. That is all we have time for.

And don't forget to check out the videos he's been uploading

throughout the show to our Facebook page.

Tomorrow I'll be here with Josh Groban and we'll be joined
