:00:23. > :00:31.They find. Hello, friends. Welcome to Friday's One Show with Alex
:00:31. > :00:34.Jones. Tonight's guests make-up two sevens of the biggest-selling
:00:34. > :00:40.British band of the 80s. When you need someone to play on the roof of
:00:40. > :00:50.Buckingham Palace, and Brian May is saving badgers, who do you call?
:00:50. > :00:57.
:00:57. > :01:05.Please welcome, from Madness, Suggs So, it has been a great year,
:01:05. > :01:08.hasn't it? Not bird. One of the best? Probably. No one could have
:01:08. > :01:13.expected the Queen would invite us to her party and the Olympics would
:01:13. > :01:21.be in London and we were invited to both. And she let you play on the
:01:21. > :01:24.roof. How did that happen. They needed somebody to replace the lead.
:01:24. > :01:29.It happened because we were asked to play at the Jubilee and there
:01:29. > :01:34.was a story of us being on the main stage. Maybe somebody did not want
:01:34. > :01:40.us there, so they thought, stick them as far away as we can get them.
:01:40. > :01:45.And it became the highlight of the night. It would seem that way. I do
:01:45. > :01:52.not ever remember a reaction like that. Playing on the roof of
:01:52. > :01:59.Buckingham Palace is one thing, but that video projection! There was an
:01:59. > :02:04.audible gasp. I think people actually thought it had collapsed.
:02:05. > :02:08.You have a problem with heights? You were pretty high up. I am not
:02:08. > :02:12.mad on heights. When we rehearsed and there was nobody there, I found
:02:12. > :02:16.it more difficult, because the adrenalin was going and you were
:02:16. > :02:21.not thinking about where you were because you were in outer space at
:02:21. > :02:26.that point. And is it true that you spoke to the Queen afterwards and
:02:26. > :02:36.did a bit of a Tommy Cooper joke? Yes. She comes along and you do not
:02:36. > :02:36.
:02:36. > :02:41.know what to save. Have you met her? What did you say to her?
:02:41. > :02:47.said I was taking over from Terry Wogan full stock she said, I do not
:02:47. > :02:55.have time to listen to the radio. asked if she was into football. She
:02:55. > :03:03.said, not really. I said, can I have your cup final tickets?
:03:03. > :03:07.you really? Did you witness this? It is a good story, a great moment.
:03:07. > :03:11.Well, House of Fun is one of their biggest hits, so we are asking how
:03:11. > :03:15.much fun you are having in your house right now. Send a picture and
:03:16. > :03:20.we will show some of the silliest later. Plus, the premier of a
:03:20. > :03:25.remake of the Baggy Trousers video. Also, Len Goodman quick steps back
:03:25. > :03:29.to his childhood home. First, the incredible performances at the
:03:29. > :03:33.Paralympics showed that is ability need not be a barrier to anything.
:03:33. > :03:42.And there is one person who is the epitome of that sentiment and I met
:03:42. > :03:46.him on Wednesday. Just look at this. I am at a place where disability is
:03:46. > :03:50.not a hindrance. They are a charity that have taken over 1000 people
:03:50. > :03:57.high into the skies. But some have pushed their flying experience even
:03:57. > :04:02.further. After three years and over 130 flight hours of training, 32-
:04:02. > :04:07.year-old Nathan Doidge gained his private pilot's licence, which now
:04:07. > :04:16.means he can single-handedly operate an aeroplane and fly solo.
:04:16. > :04:24.Good morning, Nathan. Hello. you ready? Yes. Tell us about your
:04:24. > :04:34.disability. I have cerebral palsy. The aircraft has been adapted.
:04:34. > :04:34.
:04:34. > :04:41.have the hand control here, instead of the pedals. But apart from that,
:04:41. > :04:51.everything is standard. What is the weather like today? Very bumpy and
:04:51. > :04:53.
:04:53. > :04:57.very windy. So it will be fun. will be on. -- it will be fun. The
:04:57. > :05:03.charity director has put everyone from schoolchildren to wounded
:05:03. > :05:06.service personnel up among the clouds. We work with all sorts of
:05:06. > :05:11.physical disabilities. I have had people with spinal injuries,
:05:11. > :05:16.multiple sclerosis, neurological disorders, mental health issues. We
:05:16. > :05:20.have always found a way to get somebody in the air. Nathan is one
:05:20. > :05:24.of those people that grabs every opportunity with both hands. It is
:05:24. > :05:34.great for us to give him the facilities to be able to fulfil his
:05:34. > :05:35.
:05:35. > :05:45.Nathan, flying, when did you first dream about it and how did you make
:05:45. > :05:49.
:05:49. > :05:59.it a reality? I have wanted to fly since I was a kid. It is a big
:05:59. > :06:04.
:06:04. > :06:12.confidence boost. And the best bit, for me, is challenging people's
:06:12. > :06:18.perceptions of disabled people. other disabled people are watching
:06:18. > :06:26.and they want to fly, give them some advice. Just do it. Just do it.
:06:26. > :06:33.That is your motto for everything, isn't it? Just do it, baby. And how
:06:33. > :06:43.fly up -- how far are you going to take the flying? I have always
:06:43. > :06:44.
:06:44. > :06:48.loved aerobatics. Not just now! thought I would mention that now.
:06:49. > :06:53.Currently, there are about 50 disabled solo pilots in Great
:06:53. > :06:59.Britain and the numbers are growing every year, and with spirits and
:06:59. > :07:03.souls like Nathan as inspiration, who knows how far they will go.
:07:04. > :07:12.The sky literally is the limit. Nathan, we have made it down to the
:07:12. > :07:17.ground. How was it for you? Great. Thank you for flying. I am happy to
:07:17. > :07:22.go up with you any time. Are you happy to go up with me any time?
:07:22. > :07:28.Yes. All right, cheers. Do you know what he wants to do
:07:28. > :07:33.next? What? He wants to break the skydiving record for a tandem
:07:33. > :07:39.skydive for a disabled person. He has already jumped 15,000 feet. I
:07:39. > :07:45.asked how high you would go and he said, as high as they will take me.
:07:45. > :07:51.So, sponsor that guy. Right. You are not supposed to say things like
:07:51. > :07:54.that. For him, we can say anything we want. Having spoken about the
:07:54. > :08:01.Jubilee and the closing ceremony, which one of those were you most
:08:01. > :08:06.nervous about? I don't know if I was nervous. It was so so real it
:08:06. > :08:10.was like a marshmallows dream. Both were different. Royal protocol is
:08:11. > :08:18.very stiff and you have to be on your best behaviour. Which did you
:08:18. > :08:23.find out about first? I think the Olympics was first. Yes. There was
:08:23. > :08:27.some dispute about playing Our House at both. The Queen was going
:08:27. > :08:32.to appear at both. The Olympics was more nerve-racking because we were
:08:32. > :08:36.hanging around in a waiting hanger for a long time. We had the Pet
:08:36. > :08:42.Shop Boys riding bicycles with traffic cones on their heads to the
:08:42. > :08:47.left. It was getting overwhelming. I had to ask quickly, what is the
:08:47. > :08:53.first line? I had forgotten. that the most nervous you had ever
:08:53. > :08:57.been? Pretty much. And we were on the back of a truck with nothing to
:08:57. > :09:02.hang on to, so there was every opportunity to fall off. But you
:09:02. > :09:10.did not. You have a new album out. There has been a lot of talk about
:09:10. > :09:15.the title of the album, which made up the design of the cover. There
:09:15. > :09:20.were lots of ideas about what we should call it. We went to Peter
:09:20. > :09:27.Blake, who said he would do a painting for us. Peter Blake of
:09:27. > :09:32.Sergeant Pepper. The final title is Oui Oui Si Si Ja Ja Da Da. That was
:09:32. > :09:36.all of the titles that we went through. The management were saying,
:09:36. > :09:40.do you want to show the indecision? Peter Blake said, do not tell me
:09:40. > :09:44.you have changed your mind. He said, I am just going to write out all of
:09:44. > :09:51.the titles and cross them out and we ended up with Oui Oui Si Si Ja
:09:51. > :09:55.Ja Da Da. Which pretty much sums are sup, an affirmation of life.
:09:55. > :10:02.There is a new single, which is the sequel to a song you sang many
:10:02. > :10:07.years ago, My Girl. Simon macro yes, it is written by the same person. I
:10:07. > :10:17.am not sure whose My Girl 2 is, but there is obviously a second person
:10:17. > :10:20.
:10:20. > :10:24.in his life. The that is the name # I have been wondering about you
:10:25. > :10:30.and do things you do # I'm in love, but you drive me mad
:10:30. > :10:37.# So sad to be losing you # Last night, when we had that
:10:37. > :10:40.fight in your car in # I like the story about how you
:10:40. > :10:45.try to raise the speed of your songs in the charts over the last
:10:45. > :10:49.couple of decades. What does that mean? Beats per minute. We have
:10:49. > :10:53.always tried to keep their energy. We write from the perspective of
:10:53. > :11:03.old men, but we try to give the music lively. And you have a theory
:11:03. > :11:08.that music is slowing down. Bid has gone down in the beats per minute.
:11:08. > :11:18.It is so lively, but is it true that you created an earthquake?
:11:18. > :11:20.
:11:20. > :11:26.That is true. One step beyond started 36,000 fans jumping. There
:11:26. > :11:33.was a sofa that went across the room, windows cracked. Sums
:11:33. > :11:39.seismologists rang the police and said it was asked. You're doing it
:11:39. > :11:49.again, starting at Butlins and finishing with two at the 02 Arena.
:11:49. > :11:50.
:11:50. > :11:55.Not bad. The effect of a brilliant year. 33 years, Madness. Did you
:11:55. > :12:02.ever think the sentence would be so long? The batteries of nearly run
:12:02. > :12:11.out. It is different now in that I can remember most of it. When I was
:12:11. > :12:17.18 it was a blur. I heard you were really hard core. Some people would
:12:17. > :12:23.be surprised by our drink rider. How many people have been in the
:12:23. > :12:33.band. How many ex Magners people would be watching this evening? --
:12:33. > :12:33.
:12:33. > :12:39.Madness people. We cannot tell you where the bodies are buried. Jay is
:12:39. > :12:45.here and his breath smells fabulous. Why are you so fragrant? I have
:12:45. > :12:49.been to meet the man intending to make a mint out of mint.
:12:49. > :12:54.This is a crop that would have been a common sight in Britain until the
:12:54. > :12:59.Second World War. It is black Mitcham peppermint, once grown in
:12:59. > :13:04.volume, not to seasons birds but to produce aromatic oils, for
:13:04. > :13:09.everything from food flavouring to decongestant. English peppermint
:13:09. > :13:13.oil was once the envy of Europe. So when the owner of this farm in
:13:13. > :13:18.Hampshire decided to grow that her then make his own high quality oil,
:13:18. > :13:22.he never expected it would take 12 years to get it right. What is the
:13:22. > :13:28.difference between this, which you might find in your back garden, and
:13:28. > :13:35.the mint you are growing? Well, this will taste very nice with your
:13:35. > :13:40.new potatoes. So you could eat it raw. What about yours? Well, that
:13:40. > :13:46.is bred intensively to produce maximum oil in the leaf. If you
:13:46. > :13:51.were to eat it, you would find it very powerful. And you would
:13:51. > :13:56.probably be pretty frightened if you got a mouthful of it. It is
:13:56. > :14:01.rather indigestible. Black Mitcham peppermint was originally developed
:14:01. > :14:04.in Surrey and became famous for its quality. It disappear during the
:14:04. > :14:08.Second World War when the fields were needed for essential food
:14:08. > :14:14.crops. Since then, the confectionery trade has come to
:14:14. > :14:17.rely on cheaper blended peppermint oil from a variety of international
:14:17. > :14:24.sources. Sir Michael wanted to re- establish the crop and its
:14:24. > :14:29.reputation in Britain. I did not do it for romantic reasons. I did it
:14:29. > :14:35.for good business reasons. What I wanted to do was to offer pure
:14:35. > :14:42.quality oil to the consumer, because you can taste the
:14:42. > :14:48.difference. Like producing a fine wine or whisky, achieving the
:14:48. > :14:52.perfect peppermint oil is a time- consuming and complicated process.
:14:52. > :14:56.This is quite a difficult crop. Unlike spearmint, which will grow
:14:56. > :15:00.like a weed, this crock is quite difficult. It is quite lazy and it
:15:00. > :15:05.only roots in about three inches of soil. All of the roots go sideways,
:15:05. > :15:11.not down, so it is prone to moisture loss. We want a wet spring
:15:11. > :15:15.with gentle rain. And when we get to June, we want a lot of sun. What
:15:15. > :15:22.we are after, the oil glands are in belief and they respond to sunlight,
:15:22. > :15:27.and that is what we are after. is left to dry for 24 hours before
:15:27. > :15:34.harvesting. The trailer full of peppermint leaves is sealed and
:15:34. > :15:38.steam is fed into a pipe to cook the contents for several hours.
:15:38. > :15:42.I extracting the oil by using steam. We put steam through the crop and
:15:42. > :15:47.we boil it out and the vapour comes off and we distil that and condense
:15:47. > :15:52.it, until the end up with separate essential oil and the water comes
:15:52. > :15:58.off and runs to waste. I don't want to be insulting, but this little
:15:58. > :16:08.dribble of oil, this is it. This dribble of oil is it. It is very
:16:08. > :16:15.
:16:15. > :16:20.It is pure. It is the smell of every mint you have ever eaten or
:16:20. > :16:25.condensed in one. It is. From each trailer, containing three-and-a-
:16:25. > :16:31.half tonnes, around 17 litres of pure oil is extracted. Left to
:16:31. > :16:38.mature for 18 months, the oil goes to flavour high quality
:16:38. > :16:45.confectionary, tea and essential oils, selling at around �40 for a
:16:45. > :16:53.small 100 mill letter bottle. Thank you. I am a fan of peppermint tea.
:16:53. > :16:59.That is very good. Would you like one? I will offer you one of your
:17:00. > :17:04.own sweets. They show the quality of the oil very well. The purest
:17:04. > :17:08.form of delivering the peppermint you can get. There is something
:17:08. > :17:14.good and old fashioned about these, isn't there? That is what I think.
:17:14. > :17:19.I agree with you. Very hard to talk when you have one in your mouth
:17:19. > :17:24.though! What do we like best, the mint or
:17:24. > :17:29.the eyebrows? The eyebrows should be listed I think. For the sake of
:17:29. > :17:34.the nation, so we can gather around them. They were fantastic.
:17:34. > :17:39.drank peppermint tea when you were off ill? I was as sick as a dog
:17:39. > :17:45.last week, which is why I was not here. It helped. I don't want to
:17:45. > :17:55.live it again. It was not nice! What are we growing in Britain that
:17:55. > :17:57.
:17:57. > :18:03.we have not grown for a while or at all? Those twigs are liquorice.
:18:03. > :18:08.Pontefract had it. It died out. There is a farmer, Robert Copley.
:18:08. > :18:15.He has planted the crop on his land. For the next couple of years, he
:18:15. > :18:20.hopes to harvest a couple of tonnes of good liquorice root.
:18:20. > :18:27.What else? Well, there are some interesting things. For example,
:18:27. > :18:31.saffron. It suezr used to be a very important -- it used to be a very
:18:31. > :18:34.important spice. Still worth more weight for weight than gold. It had
:18:34. > :18:41.stopped being grown in such a number. It is now being grown in
:18:41. > :18:47.Wales and has been since 1985. Something extraordinary. There are
:18:47. > :18:51.melons being grown in Kent and Staffordshire. It can only be
:18:51. > :18:59.Madness! # Madness
:18:59. > :19:03.# They call it Madness # Let me give you another one. Stand
:19:03. > :19:13.by! Since 2006 they have been growing tea in Cornwall. They are
:19:13. > :19:23.about to start growing coffee and bananas in Cornwall. It's Madness.
:19:23. > :19:29.This is up for an award this one! How far can we go. All right,
:19:29. > :19:33.wasabi. A root, we eat a lot of it. Most that we get here tends to be
:19:33. > :19:43.wasabi, some horseradish. This is fresh wasabi and it is grown in
:19:43. > :19:53.
:19:53. > :19:58.Dorset by a farmer. Wasabi - grown didn't get to dance. It's madness.
:19:58. > :20:06.Got to give the kids what they want!
:20:06. > :20:13.Just lick it clean. It is really powerful stuff. It knocks you out.
:20:13. > :20:17.Don't give it to our guests. I have wanted to do this to a guest....
:20:17. > :20:23.Where's the peppermint tea? Now it is starting to be grown here. The
:20:23. > :20:29.fact all these things are being grown here is a tes meant to all
:20:29. > :20:37.that we are growing. Your happy house - you have written your own
:20:37. > :20:42.theme "I am watching you. I am nine weeks' old." Great handwriting,
:20:42. > :20:47.baby Danny. This is Fraya, hanging around watching The One Show.
:20:47. > :20:52.about swinging in your kitchen. Who doesn't want a swing in their
:20:52. > :20:58.kitchen? This is Fraser. He is ten months
:20:58. > :21:06.old from Shetland, getting a bath while we are on. Well, those are
:21:06. > :21:16.your houses. Would you like to see Len Goodman's house. The one where
:21:16. > :21:16.
:21:16. > :21:24.we grew up. I'm Len Goodman. I am going back to
:21:24. > :21:29.the street where I used to live. It's Blackfen Road, sip cup, Kent.
:21:29. > :21:37.This is it -- Sidcup, Kent. This is it. It has not changed, as far as I
:21:37. > :21:43.can see. This is where I lived from about four until I was about ten.
:21:43. > :21:48.No blue plaque on the wall - Len Goodman lived here. As for the
:21:49. > :21:52.garden... My dad would be turning in his grave. Honestly, he loved
:21:52. > :21:59.his gardening. Just down the bottom here he planted a special plant. I
:21:59. > :22:03.remember him saying to me, Lenny, that plant will grow like you grow.
:22:03. > :22:07.Every year it will get an inch taller. Any way I cocked my leg
:22:07. > :22:12.over that fence one time, I knocked about four years off of it. I got
:22:12. > :22:22.such a wall lop, you can't believe it. Any way, it has gone now. What
:22:22. > :22:23.
:22:24. > :22:30.It's the same. My mum used to sit in that kitchen.
:22:30. > :22:34.We used to play cowboys and Indians. I would hide around here. Then I
:22:34. > :22:43.would hide. My mum would shoot an arrow at me. I would be Roy
:22:43. > :22:47.rodgeers, with Trigger. -- Rodgers, with Trigger. This is the front
:22:47. > :22:52.room. There used to be a record player thing there. My dad would
:22:52. > :22:58.put me on his feet and hold my hands and he would dance about. My
:22:58. > :23:05.dad was a dancer. Oh, yes, a North London champion. He would dance
:23:05. > :23:12.around with me on his feet. 1950- odd, the Queen's coronation, we had
:23:12. > :23:19.the first television in Blackfen. My family had gone up in the world
:23:19. > :23:23.and this room was packed. We started off here with humble
:23:23. > :23:29.beginnings. My granddad started off with a barrow and gradually we got
:23:29. > :23:35.a green grouseers and then two shops: We went from a little house
:23:35. > :23:41.and here we were, semi detached. My mum was the hardest working,
:23:41. > :23:47.kindest and most generous woman I ever knew. She earnt lots of money
:23:47. > :23:53.and gave it all away to relatives and different people. She spoilt me.
:23:53. > :23:57.She spoilt me rotten. When I was about nine, my dad and
:23:57. > :24:03.mum split up, which was not a bad thing really, because they were
:24:03. > :24:09.arguing all the time and so they split up. In those days, it didn't
:24:10. > :24:15.happen. I was glad that my dad was able to say, "Look, this is not
:24:15. > :24:25.healthy. This is not right." So, it was me and my old mum sitting in
:24:25. > :24:31.
:24:31. > :24:36.This is different! I remember my mum cooking a stuffed marrow and
:24:36. > :24:43.put it in the oven, three hours later it blew up. It knocked the
:24:43. > :24:53.oven door off. There was minced meat and marrow everywhere. It was
