:00:10. > :00:17.saying, oh, you'll get the exposure thing, and I think I just got that a
:00:18. > :00:24.bit. When you suddenly look down and go... You have to talk yourself down
:00:25. > :00:27.and say, it's fine. The ropes feel quite elasticated and a little bit
:00:28. > :00:46.unsteady. Hello and welcome to The One Show.
:00:47. > :00:50.Now, although we've all got on with our lives over the last 24 hours,
:00:51. > :00:59.Alex hasn't left the rock face of Moonlight Buttress in Utah. She is
:01:00. > :01:03.5,000 miles away in Utah and she is continuing her epic climb for sport
:01:04. > :01:07.relief. These are live pictures. With any luck she is hopefully going
:01:08. > :01:15.to get to the top right here on the show tonight. Come on, Al! You
:01:16. > :01:24.almost there, you really are. Goodness me, she's done a sterling
:01:25. > :01:28.job so far. And joining me here in the studio it's our very own
:01:29. > :01:31.Angellica Bell. It is lovely to be here but even more exciting to see
:01:32. > :01:38.Alex finishing off her challenge. He's only got a little way to go to
:01:39. > :01:43.the top. She's already conquered over 1,200 feet. It is remarkable
:01:44. > :01:48.what she's doing. Soon we'll see how she copes on her second day of
:01:49. > :01:53.climbing. As soon as she finishes, we'll be going live to celebrate
:01:54. > :01:58.with her. If you are doing something for Sport Relief, we want you to
:01:59. > :02:04.shout about it. Send us your photos and tell us what you are up to. To
:02:05. > :02:11.help us cheer Alex to the top is a guest hanging out recently but not
:02:12. > :02:19.on the end of a rope. She's been schmoozing going goo stars in LA.
:02:20. > :02:25.Please welcome Joanna Lumley! APPLAUSE How lovely to see you, and
:02:26. > :02:28.little Angellica. This was my contribution to Sport Relief,
:02:29. > :02:34.walking across the floor. It is not a bad effort. What is that girl
:02:35. > :02:40.doing? How would cope with a climb like that? Completely hopeless. She
:02:41. > :02:45.is so courage, because she afraid of -- she is so courageous, she is
:02:46. > :02:51.afraid of heights. She is on her own out there. Yes. It is hot and it's
:02:52. > :02:56.dangerous and it's terrifying. She's fabulous. You couldn't believe it
:02:57. > :03:01.when you walked into the studio. Couldn't bear it. My hands have gone
:03:02. > :03:06.strange now. She is fantastic. You've been hobnobbing a musical
:03:07. > :03:12.megastar. That's hard work in itself. We'll find out more later.
:03:13. > :03:15.Yesterday we saw Alex's first day on the rock and we saw just how
:03:16. > :03:18.incredibly tough her challenge is. She was exhausted and close to
:03:19. > :03:23.tears, but still determined to get to the top. Well, after bedding down
:03:24. > :03:27.on her tiny portaledge for a night, and with the help of a bit of
:03:28. > :03:38.birthday cake, this is what happened next.
:03:39. > :03:42.Did you sleep OK? I did. I always sleep well on a portaledge. I think
:03:43. > :03:49.I probably slept for about three hours. Really? Off and on. Day two
:03:50. > :03:54.and after a restless night on the portaledge with Andy it's time for
:03:55. > :03:59.some breakfast. The upside of this challenge is that there there's
:04:00. > :04:06.probably no better place to have a cup of tea in the morning. This is
:04:07. > :04:12.the nicest part. Oh God, I hope there's nobody down there. Paul's
:04:13. > :04:16.coming up. Just tell him it's wee. We've dealt with the wee scenario
:04:17. > :04:22.and we've moved on. I had to stand up there in the dark, took my head
:04:23. > :04:28.torch off and put the music on very loud. And Alex had a wee. Andy was a
:04:29. > :04:39.gentleman. I was. How is today looking then? What's the plan? Today
:04:40. > :04:44.we have to climb... Four pictures. We need three pitches. Today four?
:04:45. > :04:51.Some of them are longer. It is going to be a hard day but in a different
:04:52. > :04:54.way to yesterday. OK. You've broken a mental barrier yesterday, so today
:04:55. > :05:03.you are probably going to have to break a physical barrier. Today I'll
:05:04. > :05:11.be climbing 600 feet, so there's no time to hang around. Gosh! This is
:05:12. > :05:15.quite strenuous. Just make lots of short little movements, not lots of
:05:16. > :05:21.big ones. This section is sheer vertical rock face, and to scale it
:05:22. > :05:34.I'm using a technique called jummering.
:05:35. > :05:43.This technique is really exhausting. It's much easier to master than the
:05:44. > :05:49.free-climbing and the aid climbing we were doing yesterday, but it's
:05:50. > :05:58.like spending six hours in a gym doing pull-ups. Alex? I'm at the B
:05:59. > :06:05.line. I think I've chosen a bad jack for this but everything kind of,
:06:06. > :06:16.everything feels quite achy. It would be good to stand up. Come on,
:06:17. > :06:25.let's go. Can I beat the bag? I'll let you get up a little. I did get
:06:26. > :06:33.that weird feeling during training. Everybody was saying you'll get the
:06:34. > :06:38.exposure thing. I think I just got that a bit. You suddenly look down
:06:39. > :06:44.and go... You have to talk yourself round and go, it's fine. Yes, you're
:06:45. > :06:48.safe. And the ropes feel quite elasticated and a little bit
:06:49. > :06:51.unsteady. You are attached to lots of things though. I always think
:06:52. > :06:55.ahead and think about what's happening in the future and what's
:06:56. > :07:00.happening next week and tomorrow and the day after. But climbing, you are
:07:01. > :07:04.kind of forced to live in the present. That's why climbers are so
:07:05. > :07:08.bad at being in the real world, because they are so used to thinking
:07:09. > :07:12.about this moment. But that's a good thing though, because I never do
:07:13. > :07:20.that. That's why none of us have any savings. It's the end of the day and
:07:21. > :07:30.we've made it to the portaledge position. All that's between me and
:07:31. > :07:33.the ground is 1,000 feet after air. APPLAUSE
:07:34. > :07:37.Gosh! And to think she is literally metres from the top now.
:07:38. > :07:42.Extraordinary. It is just wonderful. Joe an na, will you in your
:07:43. > :07:48.wonderful silky smooth voice convince viewers to part with their
:07:49. > :08:03.money? Dear viewers, I love you, please donate. Text ALEX to 70005.
:08:04. > :08:09.?5 per text goes to Sport Relief. Do it now. It is an easy way to show
:08:10. > :08:16.your respect. You must be 16 or over and ask the bill payer's permission.
:08:17. > :08:21.For more information go to bbc.co.uk/sportrelief. It is time to
:08:22. > :08:27.go live to Alex. Obviously there's the edge and there is Alex!
:08:28. > :08:31.APPLAUSE That is the top. Goodness me, the foot's over the edge and
:08:32. > :08:42.she's done it! CHEERING
:08:43. > :08:48.I'm standing up in respect. Alex Jones. Unclip yourself. We are going
:08:49. > :08:55.to get some sound equipment to her so she can have a word. Oh, my word.
:08:56. > :08:59.Touch it! You've done it, Al. They often say don't look down but look
:09:00. > :09:07.behind you and see what you have achieved. You are an inspiration.
:09:08. > :09:12.APPLAUSE Thank you so much, Matt. I can't believe I'm at the top. It's
:09:13. > :09:17.such a relief, I can't tell you. Such a feeling of elation to get
:09:18. > :09:22.here. I haven't felt... I don't know. I wanted to touch solid ground
:09:23. > :09:27.for so long. It just shows with the right motivation, the people I met
:09:28. > :09:32.in the Philippines, and with the right support, all of the people
:09:33. > :09:37.back in the UK, anything is possible. Thank you so much to
:09:38. > :09:41.anyone who has donated. You've done it, Al. Pressure's off. Just relax.
:09:42. > :09:46.Alex, when you first started the challenge, you found it quite tricky
:09:47. > :09:52.and emotional. What was going through your head? How did you get
:09:53. > :09:58.through that? Angellica, the first three pitches were just such a
:09:59. > :10:02.surprise. I've been training for two months, but I just realised the
:10:03. > :10:07.enormity of the challenge and how small I felt in comparison to this
:10:08. > :10:11.ginormous rock that was towering over me. It just felt impossible,
:10:12. > :10:15.but I have to say there's been a fantastic team of people on the wall
:10:16. > :10:22.with me. If you don't mind I would like to bring them all in for you to
:10:23. > :10:26.meet them. Andy? Come on in. They've been honestly so supportive and got
:10:27. > :10:32.me through some of the hardest times, especially that first day.
:10:33. > :10:37.This gentleman in the orange helmet has been just incredible. When I was
:10:38. > :10:42.freezing cold last night he gave me his sleeping bag. He is wonderful.
:10:43. > :10:49.Here he is is. How was that second night on there? He's tangled up in
:10:50. > :10:54.stuff. We heard the first night you only got a few hours sleep. Was it
:10:55. > :11:02.better yesterday, and how exhausted is your body right now? Matt, just
:11:03. > :11:09.everything aches. The bottom of my back, my hands are just in pieces,
:11:10. > :11:17.but every little inch was worth it, because I know how generous people
:11:18. > :11:23.have been. It was just every single pin, that will fade -- pain, but
:11:24. > :11:28.that fade, but the people helped by Sport Relief, this will change their
:11:29. > :11:37.lives. Andy, thank you so much. Well done. You've been an absolute angel.
:11:38. > :11:40.APPLAUSE Alex, you've done an amazing thing. Is there one moment
:11:41. > :11:50.you will remember forever being up there? I think it's probably the
:11:51. > :11:55.getting over that ledge and getting to the top. It's been a long
:11:56. > :11:59.two-and-a-half days. And even this morning just an hour ago I sort of
:12:00. > :12:03.had this exposure feeling and completely freaked out. It was
:12:04. > :12:11.thanks to these guys who talked me round and got me up to the pitch,
:12:12. > :12:18.three climbs. All of it will... It is just amazing really. It is the
:12:19. > :12:22.donations and the support and generosity that's got me through it.
:12:23. > :12:25.On that note, al, we'll tell you what the total is at the moment.
:12:26. > :12:31.This is without you getting to the top, so while you are sat there the
:12:32. > :12:43.donations are going to be pouring in, so the total as it stands now
:12:44. > :12:54.is... ?645,59 5. 40! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:12:55. > :12:58.Amazing. Thank you everybody for being so generous. That's an amazing
:12:59. > :13:04.total, more than I ever hoped for. Al, what you've done is remarkable.
:13:05. > :13:08.Pain is temporary, glory lasts forever. Nobody can ever take away
:13:09. > :13:13.what you've done there. I know when I said goodbye to you I knew it was
:13:14. > :13:18.going be tough. It was hard. But you've done it and you can hold your
:13:19. > :13:22.head up high forever. You are remarkable. Well done.
:13:23. > :13:28.APPLAUSE And a massive thank you likes Alex has said to all the Radio
:13:29. > :13:33.Times readers who donated, and The One Show viewers as well. I am so
:13:34. > :13:37.proud of you. When you came to my house you said you weren't sure you
:13:38. > :13:42.could do it, but you've done it. You are coming back on a plane for Sport
:13:43. > :13:48.Relief tomorrow night. I will see you very soon. Thank you. And not
:13:49. > :13:52.just that, Alex will be presenting, believe it or not, on Sunday with me
:13:53. > :13:58.in the afternoon. What can I get you for Sunday to make it as comfortable
:13:59. > :14:03.as possible? What can I bring you? Probably some lasters and a bit of
:14:04. > :14:09.cream and maybe some pain killers. Listen, my love, that is no problem.
:14:10. > :14:11.I cannot wait to see you. You are just brilliant.
:14:12. > :14:16.APPLAUSE We are now going to remind everybody
:14:17. > :14:20.why you have pushed yourself to the absolute limit. It is all to help
:14:21. > :14:25.some of the people that Alex met in the Philippines whose lives were
:14:26. > :14:31.torn apart by the typhoon last November.
:14:32. > :14:38.During my visit I met people like Tess, who told me her incredible
:14:39. > :14:42.story of survival. They said, water, water, coming. And how she saved her
:14:43. > :14:53.baby daughter from drowning. You had to give her mouth-to-mouth?
:14:54. > :14:58.She was still alive. Like thousands of children following the storm,
:14:59. > :15:06.she's malnourished. What is the one thing you need more than anything
:15:07. > :15:12.else? Foods. Yes. To strengthen her? Yes. Four months on from the
:15:13. > :15:18.typhoon, there are still millions of people living in makeshift shelters.
:15:19. > :15:26.Like Delia and her two daughters. How do you cope living in here, the
:15:27. > :15:29.three of you? It is hard to sleep in here.
:15:30. > :15:34.TRANSLATION: We lie down here side by side and can barely move around
:15:35. > :15:38.because there is little space. By funding local projects, we can help
:15:39. > :15:47.buy essential tools to rehouse those in need. What do you think of the
:15:48. > :15:52.new home? Happy. You're happy? Yes. I met brave girls like Patricia and
:15:53. > :16:00.Sadie. What was the most precious thing that you lost in the storm?
:16:01. > :16:06.Trance I lost my two siblings in the typhoon. --
:16:07. > :16:11.TRANSLATION: I lost my two siblings in the typhoon. What about you,
:16:12. > :16:14.Patricia? My father. When once the girls would have played with their
:16:15. > :16:19.friends, now every day after school, they go to the church next door.
:16:20. > :16:27.Before the typhoon, it had no cemetery. My husband had a dream
:16:28. > :16:35.about our children. He was a very loving father. The girls are trying
:16:36. > :16:39.to get back to some sort of normality. Hi, how are you? And your
:16:40. > :16:43.money can help fund child-friendly spaces which offer the children some
:16:44. > :16:54.relief from the tough reality that surrounds them. Please help us to
:16:55. > :17:00.help them and text "ALEX" to 70005. # Thank you once again. #
:17:01. > :17:04.The Philippines are one of the many places both here and abroad where
:17:05. > :17:11.Sport Relief money can help change lives. Now, Joanna, you have jetted
:17:12. > :17:14.off to LA to meet Will.i.am. This is an interesting combination. How did
:17:15. > :17:18.it come about? It was an idea that was put to me which was what about a
:17:19. > :17:24.kind of chatshow which instead of sitting on sofas with lovely
:17:25. > :17:29.audiences, what about getting behind the kind of facade of the person and
:17:30. > :17:34.getting really into how their lives are and so on. Right? They said what
:17:35. > :17:41.about seeing Will? I have heard of him in Black Eyed Peas. Had you?
:17:42. > :17:49.Now, I've got the CDs - I hadn't before. You didn't know anything
:17:50. > :17:57.about him? I had heard of him and seen him on The Voice. I saw his
:17:58. > :18:01.home, his ghetto upbringing, I saw his old school and his ideas for the
:18:02. > :18:06.future and he is such an unusual man. He's been on The One Show. He's
:18:07. > :18:10.not what you would expect. Everything seems to come from a
:18:11. > :18:15.different angle. He is always thinking. He has a mind which is
:18:16. > :18:20.whirring in every direction. His ideas stunned me, they rang a
:18:21. > :18:24.bell... You found a connection? Saving the planet and looking after
:18:25. > :18:28.things and not trashing stuff. Stuff that can be used again. He was
:18:29. > :18:31.intriguing. I loved meeting his family. You get to know so much
:18:32. > :18:36.about somebody when you see where they have come from. When I heard
:18:37. > :18:42.about the documentary, I was a bit surprised. I thought Joanna Lumley
:18:43. > :18:45.and Will.i.am? It is strange. I went on this bizarre journey - and I hate
:18:46. > :18:51.saying that. It was quite funny at the start. One minute, I was crying.
:18:52. > :18:55.The next minute, I was taken in and then I wanted to save the world. He
:18:56. > :19:00.is a real charismatic character. How did you get that? He is very
:19:01. > :19:04.outgoing. What approach did you take on this? We have seen you on travel
:19:05. > :19:09.shows? Just to be me and meet him. Not to come with any agenda at all.
:19:10. > :19:15.Not to push things. I didn't have anything I wanted to skewer him on.
:19:16. > :19:20.It was to meet somebody and to have the great treasured privilege of
:19:21. > :19:29.being with somebody for four days. Yes. Then at their own home and...
:19:30. > :19:38.And at their school? We have a little clip from that. There I go,
:19:39. > :19:42.look at that. Was Mr Wright a special teacher? It is odd to say it
:19:43. > :19:48.when he is standing here? There's two teachers - two people that
:19:49. > :19:53.shaped how I look at the world and how I see myself as Mr Wright. When
:19:54. > :20:07.we graduated, I remember that day, I was like... I remember that, too!
:20:08. > :20:12.Ever since then, I have been curious and I ask all the questions. You
:20:13. > :20:17.must have felt at home in LA because you are a Hollywood star? I do love
:20:18. > :20:23.it out there. You are doing more out there now? Both are in New York, the
:20:24. > :20:28.films I have done recently. There is always a tremendous buzz in LA. You
:20:29. > :20:32.can't help being impressed when you drive past the emperor palm trees
:20:33. > :20:36.and open-top cars. I want to talk about this kiss with you and
:20:37. > :20:41.Leonardo DiCaprio. I'm jealous. I know. Tell us about it. How did you
:20:42. > :20:49.prepare for it? The truth is - as actors, we kiss lots of people all
:20:50. > :20:54.the time. This is in Wolf of Wall Street? I'm playing his wife's aunt,
:20:55. > :21:00.so it is not going to be hot! He was such a sweetheart. He is such a
:21:01. > :21:10.professional actor. We chew masses of gum, and generally flossing like
:21:11. > :21:14.mad, so it is as surgical as an operating theatre. We follow the
:21:15. > :21:20.story. When you are in character, you do whatever is chosen. 27 times
:21:21. > :21:26.it took? I exaggerated a little - it was probably only 26! Are you going
:21:27. > :21:31.back to movies or more interviewing? I would love to keep them all going.
:21:32. > :21:37.I love doing travel pieces. I'm off to Iran. Variety is the spice of
:21:38. > :21:45.life. I think so. Will is a great jewel in my crown. Brilliant. Joanna
:21:46. > :21:49.Lumley Meets Will.i.am is on Friday 28th March on BBC One. Now, it is
:21:50. > :21:52.time to catch up on a piece of art that One Show viewers commissioned.
:21:53. > :21:56.We gave you the chance to choose one notable Brit to get the honour of
:21:57. > :22:00.having their portrait painted for the National Portrait Gallery.
:22:01. > :22:02.Today, that painting was unveiled in front of the winner. Dan Snow was
:22:03. > :22:17.there. Last September, for the first time
:22:18. > :22:20.ever, the British public were invited to vote on whose portrait
:22:21. > :22:26.they would like to see hanging here at the National Portrait Gallery.
:22:27. > :22:32.From a short list of 12, you, The One Show viewers, chose Falklands
:22:33. > :22:36.War veteran, Simon Weston. I was privileged to be involved in the
:22:37. > :22:39.vote, really. Other than that, I didn't expect to win at all. I
:22:40. > :22:47.probably would have voted for Michael Palin. Having made the case
:22:48. > :22:51.for Simon last September, he is a worthy winner and he deserved to be
:22:52. > :22:57.here. The portrait is here behind me. It will be unveiled later. It
:22:58. > :23:08.has taken months of hard work to get to this point. The artist chosen to
:23:09. > :23:13.paint his portrait was Nicky Phillips. It is lovely painting
:23:14. > :23:17.uniforms. Makes me wonder what I'm going to wear now. What you are
:23:18. > :23:22.wearing today is rather nice. You might have conquered that one
:23:23. > :23:28.already. What proves more difficult in the studio is how Simon should
:23:29. > :23:32.pose. This is very boring. Think of what you are going to do tomorrow
:23:33. > :23:37.because I need to do some thinking! No, no, no, none of that. Sit
:23:38. > :23:41.forward. Sorry. I thought I was supposed to do some thinking. You
:23:42. > :23:53.can think and pose at the same time! OK. You need to be standing. It is
:23:54. > :24:01.all about the artist expressing the sitter's personality on canvas. I
:24:02. > :24:05.don't want this to be a negative picture. You can create something
:24:06. > :24:08.better with your life. You can be stronger, even though you have been
:24:09. > :24:13.knocked down. During the three months of sittings, Nicky hasn't
:24:14. > :24:19.allowed Simon a glimpse of his portrait. I have not seen anything.
:24:20. > :24:29.I'm terribly nervous. He is going to tell me what he thinks! It's a great
:24:30. > :24:35.honour for me to be here as part of The One Show that helped kick-off
:24:36. > :24:37.this project and it's The People's Portrait for a people's hero. There
:24:38. > :24:54.we go. I think it's fantastic. I'm slightly
:24:55. > :25:01.fatter in there than I am now! What is it like having this voted by The
:25:02. > :25:04.One Show viewers? It is probably the greatest honour you could ever have.
:25:05. > :25:09.This is because of the way you have lived your life, people see you as
:25:10. > :25:14.being a worthy sort of selection to put on a wall somewhere. I'm very
:25:15. > :25:19.flattered and slightly embarrassed. I am thrilled. Thanks to The One
:25:20. > :25:26.Show viewers and thank you for your pitch!
:25:27. > :25:33.The most beautiful tones. Stunning. You can see more about the creation
:25:34. > :25:36.of Simon Weston's portrait in The People's Portrait on Sunday 13th
:25:37. > :25:40.April on BBC One. As we are talking about legacies, you are hoping to
:25:41. > :25:46.leave a legacy for London? Actress, campaigner and now bridge builder?
:25:47. > :25:49.Oh gosh, this idea for a garden bridge going over the Thames. It had
:25:50. > :25:55.to be useful and beautiful. Look at this picture. This is breathtaking.
:25:56. > :26:02.Thomas Heatherwick has designed it and it's two feet in the water with
:26:03. > :26:07.these planters holding out and Dan, the gardener, is putting a wild
:26:08. > :26:12.arrangement of flowers. Can we not see across the bridge from one end
:26:13. > :26:19.to the other? It is like a maze of trees. You can walk across it? Yes.
:26:20. > :26:26.Take us across it. What plants are we looking at? Not enormous trees,
:26:27. > :26:33.but trees that are multi-stemmed, trees that you might find in
:26:34. > :26:37.thickets and flowers in season. There will be places you can see
:26:38. > :26:41.edges where you can be with people and only be with the people you are
:26:42. > :26:47.with. Look at how it is made. I can hear our viewers saying, "I'd love
:26:48. > :26:52.to walk across that." You will at the end of 2017. It is going to
:26:53. > :27:02.happen? Yes. It is the first of its kind, isn't it? No, there is the
:27:03. > :27:09.disused railway line in New York that has been made into a successful
:27:10. > :27:13.garden. This is the first time - it's a flying garden over the river.
:27:14. > :27:17.Fabulous. If you had the choice of bridges, why would you walk over any
:27:18. > :27:22.other bridge? No traffic at all. Peaceful. Lovely. Listen, earlier on
:27:23. > :27:25.we asked you to send in all of your wonderful pictures of you doing
:27:26. > :27:32.something for Sport Relief. You haven't disappointed. Go on. This is
:27:33. > :27:39.Rachel who was inspired by Alex and is going to run her first mile ever.
:27:40. > :27:44.Very good! I have one here, the pupils are covering the equivalent
:27:45. > :27:51.distance between John O'Groats and Land's End. That is great. That is
:27:52. > :27:56.huge! They will be tired. Bev wants to let us know she's made this cake
:27:57. > :28:02.for Alex's rock face challenge! If you send it to us, I will get a
:28:03. > :28:07.slice to her. On the food theme, Neil made this huge hot cross bun
:28:08. > :28:12.for the guess the weight competition. Well done, Alex, he
:28:13. > :28:23.says. There is the size of a normal hand there to put it in perspective.
:28:24. > :28:31.What's happening here? This is the Rochester Rolls. -- rollers. That is
:28:32. > :28:36.all for tonight. Angellica, thank you for being here. There is no One
:28:37. > :28:41.Show tomorrow as Sport Relief takes over on BBC One from 7.00pm. We will
:28:42. > :28:48.be back on Monday with Roger Daltry. You will be able to see all of
:28:49. > :28:58.Alex's challenge again on BBC One this Sunday. One more time for Alex
:28:59. > :29:01.Jones, everybody! Don't forget to donate! Well done, Al!
