20/03/2018 The One Show

Hello, and welcome to

The One Show, with Alex Jones.

And Matt Baker.

Tonight, we're remembering

Donald Campbell and his attempt

to break the world speed

record in 1967.

That's because his beloved Bluebird,

which sadly sank that day,

will very soon be taking

to the water again,

thanks to this man...

And his team. This is Will. -- Bild.

-- Bild.

He's with us tonight,

and so is Donald's daughter, Gina.

Now, to two peope who both

have a lot of love for

another year - 1993.

In the year that Spielberg

released Jurassic Park,

one of tonight's guests

met his comedy other-half in

a Tex-Mex restaurant in Cricklewood.

Romantic!

The other - well, that's

the year she was born.

LAUGHTER

Talk about making you feel old!

Fast forward to 2018,

and they're both starring

in Spielberg's latest epic -

Ready Player One.

It's Simon Pegg and Olivia Cooke!

APPLAUSE.

Welcome to you both, good evening!

It was the premier last night.

Simon, you just told us it was the

very first time that you've seen it.

I saved it up for that event. It's

nice when you are in a film, a

premier is kind of like work, it's

like going to work. So I thought I

would save the film and watch it

with my family, and it was

rectangular.

What did your daughter

big? Because they will tell the

truth!

She absolutely loved it. It's

interesting, she's eight, she's a

bit younger than Olivia, would you

believe it is and! --?!. She said,

badly, it's my second favourite film

after Titanic!

There's no better

praise than that!

She's all about

Jack and Rose! You know, there were

things in there that she wouldn't

pick up on, some of the references

to the past, but it didn't seem to

matter at all, you know, she was

just captivated the whole time.

It

is a critique of the digital world.

There's a big backlash under way

today against probably the biggest

digital company of all -

Facebook.

Customers are leaving in droves.

Where do you both stand on this, are

you into social media?

I'm not, I'm

a technophobe, I found it

terrifying. I have a pin to rest

board, I like looking at kitchens --

I have a Pinterest board. But it's

just magnets!

It's a big deal, and

the weird thing is, part of this

film is about a big corporate

company harvesting people's

identities for games! We have made

the most topical film of the year!

Of the moment! It really is, it's

like The One Show, it's that

topical!

We will talk more about the

film.

Time now for that tale of a tragedy

that took place at 300mph.

And the story of a painstakingly

faithful restoration that's gone

at a much slower pace.

When I was a little lad in the

mid-19 60s, my friends and I all had

one of these. It's called the Tory's

model of -- be called the toy's

model of Campbell's land speed

Bluebird, winning the world record

in 1964. I remember the day that he

was killed on Coniston. Campbell had

long been a national hero. And the

news of his death said the country

into a state of national shock. --

sent the country.

Donald Campbell,

the man who made the speed, is dead.

On the cold, still waters of Lake

Coniston, 45-year-old Campbell was

making an attempt on the world speed

record, which he held.

record, which he held. 5000 years

ago, they said, let us now praise

famous men. And in Lake Coniston now

lay the body of a famous man, who is

among the bravest of the brave.

Bill

Smith and his team of polity are

engineers, craftsmen and enthusiasts

are about to finish a completed

faithful restoration of Donald

Campbell's jet powered hydra blade,

Bluebird G7 -- hydroplane. This

summer, it will be ready to go back

on the water for the first time in

more than 51 years. Why did you

become fascinated with Campbell and

Bluebird K7?

It was a song.

Which

song?

It was out of this world.

And

in the middle of this

track, there's

a recorded loop, which is a complete

accident. And I read the lyric

sheet. This Campbell chap. Basically

all it meant to me as a diver was,

shipwrecked.

In 2001, built and a

group of diving friends after

research lasting more than four

years located the wreck of Bluebird

and the remains of Donald Campbell.

What was the first indication that

you'd got that you'd found him?

The

first visible one was a sonar image.

There was something in the right

place with a trail of bits coming

off it. We went to the bottom, and

my Finn went in piece of split

aluminium like that. It was like

somebody had grabbed my foot, and it

was this piece of material here.

Bill and his team raised the bird to

the surface. And nobody but Bill is

prepared to take on the mammoth job

of what was regarded as the

impossible restoration.

It then

became our baby. It was, right, OK,

now we're going to main view. We

started stripping bits out and

looking in places that have looked

at in many years. In terms of the

condition, I was amazed by what good

condition it was in.

This is the

original, the partially restored

tail fin. And, you know, to say it

has spent 34 years in 150 feet of

water in the bottle of Coniston, it

is remarkably well preserved. -- in

the bottom of Coniston. What

proportion of what we are looking at

here, Bill, is actually original?

Pretty much all of it. The

instruments are new. But for

example, these panels, all of this.

They are original? You've just

straightened it out and tidied it

up?

Yes, from the scraps to the

path.

And, Bill, where enough to

need go to buy a jet engine, or four

jet engines?!

When they came from

Colorado, they lost the paperwork

and couldn't fly it. We bought

something from a guy who had his own

fleet of aircraft and this was a

spur, we did a deal with him.

Bluebird's restoration may be

inspiring a new generation of

engineers. Bill's daughter Emily,

for example.

I would like to know

how to mend things like daddy and be

creative with it.

What the next

thing that you are really looking

forward to with Bluebird?

I'm

excited for August, because then we

can do a test on the water and see

if it's OK.

This is a privilege. And

a boyhood dream fulfilled! Oh, boy!

Thank you very much.

You're more

than welcome.

Do you need a pilot?!

No!

LAUGHTER

Welcome, both.

We saw Andy fulfilling a childhood

dream, getting in and sitting in the

Bluebird. Of course, he is not going

to drive it. But who is, Bill?

We

have a record breaker called Ted

Walsh, a very experienced man, he is

qualified for the job.

It's

brilliant to see how far you've

come. I first met you both about

eight years ago in the midst of this

project. It's super to see how it is

coming along. Gina, I want to take

you back to the date when you heard

that bill had found a Bluebird, he

was 17 when you lost your father.

What was it like, all of that,

coming flooding back when you heard

that this was potentially going to

happen was blocked it was an amazing

feeling. You know,

from that day on

this project has moved forward. Bill

and has wonderful dedicated

volunteers up in North Shields have

done a remarkable job in restoring

the boat. I mean, she's going to

look better when we see her next

time don't you probably ever looked

in her life. But for me it's going

to be, you know, you will have to

ask the upper time, Matt, make sure

that you come along, we will pick

some nice weather for you! Because I

don't know how I feel, you know,

until I see it, you know, having

seen my dad in there always, and

then to see Ted, whom I have huge

admiration for. It's going to be

amazing, actually, it's going to be

amazing, let's be positive.

It can't

be easy to look at footage of your

dad. What is the next step of

getting Bluebird out onto the water?

We are off to Loch Fad NB Isle of

Bute to train the crew, because

nobody knows how to handle this

machine, we need to learn how to get

it on and off the water. Ultimately

we are hoping to display the boat at

speed on the water hope we at

Coniston as the final closing of the

Circle before she goes on public

display.

That will be such a big day

or you, Bill, but also for you,

Gina. There must be a movie in this,

Simon!

What is the not count for 300

mph, do you know that?

It is 330.

I

drove a speedboat on a film at 20

knots!

LAUGHTER

And it felt pretty fast!

That felt

fast, absolutely! It was a twin

engine speed boat on the river

Seine, and it did feel fast. I can't

imagine what 300 mph on water must

feel like.

If you jump out of the

boat at over 60 mph, you might just

as well jump out of a motorcar, you

will hit with the same impact.

Out!

So, don't do it!

Well, I was going

to do it tomorrow! I must call

someone and get that cancelled!

Or

increase the insurance! How do you

put into context 22 years of your

life? Shortly, hopefully, it's going

to come to a magnificent end.

It's

just been like a career, only

without any wages!

LAUGHTER

We heard your daughter Emily, she's

been born into it and she's very

excited about this day in August

when all of your work is going to

come into fruition.

I've got another

daughter called Lucy, she has never

had a Gaby on Saturday since she was

born, she is 12! -- a daddy. I might

get to retire eventually.

And who is

this little teddy bear?

It was my

dad's mascot. When we saw that fatal

run, he was tucked under my dad's

seat, but he popped to the surface,

he jumped ship straightaway, whereas

Bill didn't find my dad for many

decades later, but this little fella

was there.

Will he be on board was

blog you know, one has to question

how lucky he really is! Maybe he

will watch from the sidelines!

Watch

from the cafe!

Sounds like a good

idea!

It has been great to see you

both again, let's hope we can hook

up on that day, it will be

wonderful.

Now, Simon and Olivia,

time to talk about Ready Player One.

This should get us in the mood.

I just came here to escape. But I've

found something much bigger than

myself. I've found my friends.

I found love. And now, people have

lost their lives.

No, no, no,.

This

is war!

Find him. Welcome to the

rebellion. Go

APPLAUSE

Wow, so...

It's set in a future world

so horrible and messed up that

everyone uses virtual reality

to escape it.

Is set in 2045. But that's sort of

already happening!

Absolutely! Aside

from the Cambridge Analytica thing,

it is very topical, because it

doesn't feel like science fiction to

me, it's more like future fact. I

think we will get to that point when

virtual reality is somewhere that we

can escape from the real world. If

we don't sort out the present,

that's where people are going to

want to go. But things are getting

there. We've got the virtual

reality, but it's the physical

injury should... -- interaction we

are going to have to figure out. My

watch just tapped me a second ago

when the full was on, I had a text

from my mum saying, I did know you

want The One Show! When that gets

even more advanced, shall be able to

punch me in the face!

Olivia, you

play Artemis. As part of the plot,

your character is looking for

something specific, isn't she?

Yes,

she is an Eric Hunter, which they

abbreviated to a name. -- an Eric

Hunter. She is infamous in the

OASIS, an online virtual world that

everybody escapes too, for being

quite ruthless in her hand. She is

trying to stop by why, this

corporate company, from winning this

egg which will help them gain

control of the OASIS -- she is

trying to stop a corporate company.

They want to. Taxing and charging

everybody to enter this free haven.

The key to tracking down that Easter

egg is hidden in the memories

of the creator of the game played

by Mark Rylance.

And Simon, it's in those

memories that we find your

character, Ogden Morrow.

Let's take a look.

Like an invention comes with

responsibilities you didn't ask for.

All right, if you make something

people want or need, it's up to you

to set the limits. You have to make

some rules.

I don't want to make any

more rules.

I'm a dreamer.

I build

world's.

We created something

beautiful, Jim, but it's changed,

it's not a game any more.

Are we

finished? I liked how things were

when they were, when it was a game.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Interesting hearing you talk there.

It is amazing to work with Mark

Rylance, here's a great actor.

Steven Spielberg directed this, and

we understand that scene was a

problem for him. There are so many

things going on.

In that scene, the

character is in an archive of the

life of James Halliday, the inventor

of the Oasis, and he is trying to

set his life for clues. And there

are lots of moments from security

cameras that he can go back through.

And Steven wanted to shoot the scene

as if it could be scrolled and moved

and zoomed in on like on a tablet.

So he went on holiday to the

weekend, he went to Italy on a boat

or something, like he does.

He is

Steven Spielberg.

And he came up

with the idea to shoot the scene

with an ellipse of eight cameras

running at the same time onto macro

different sides. There was a close

and a wide and these eight cameras

in a semicircle. Mark and I did the

scene however many times, and then

digitally, they stitched all the

images together so you can spin it

around and see it like this. And

that was him at the weekend, coming

up with that.

Gosh. So your

character, this old bloke, is he a

Jobs or a Wozniak?

He is kind of a

Jobs. There are elements of the

Wozniak thing. James Halliday and

Ogden Morrow like Wozniak and Jobs.

Steve Wozniak was the brains,

Steve Wozniak was the brains, and

Jobs is the face. So we are like

that. But there are elements of

both. The writer of the book took

those as well as Bill Gates as

inspiration.

Olivia, let's see you

in action. You are running from the

evil corporation we were talking

about.

This leads right to the

alley.

You first.

I'm behind you, go

now. Wait, the Oasis needs you. I'm

going to delay them. You will

forgive me for this, I promise.

Lots of actors in the film couldn't

believe how brilliant your American

accent was.

Well!

Is it true that

Steven Spielberg kept throwing

little lines at you that you had not

rehearsed, going, can you throw this

in?

I had a wonderful dialect coach

called Tom Jones, not the Tom Jones.

And we worked tirelessly on the

accent. But the script was

ever-changing and Steven Spielberg

would be like, say this. And then

one day, it is on in the film any

more, but he decided to add this

commercial in which was an 80s

commercial from America where he

wanted me to do a southern American

accent to this jingle for a candy

bar. And I was like, Steven, I'm

from Oldham. That is difficult for

me. I can't just pull it out of my

bum.

That Oldham thing comes out all

the time. But it is great.

How would

you describe Steven Spielberg's

said? Growing up as aspiring actors,

one of the ultimate things is to be

directed by Steven Spielberg. So how

does he direct you?

It's just the

greatest place on earth for me. I

grew up watching Steven's movies. I

saw Raiders when I was ten. That was

the first Steven Spielberg film I

saw. I hugged him a little too much.

He is a hugger, but I kind of follow

him around. In between shots, he

will say, I will say what was it

like making Jaws, and he would just

tell you. And he has stories that

are mind-blowing because he has

things from premises of your

favourite movies. And he is a lovely

human being.

Do you have a little in

with him, because he would make a

great guest.

He is such a raconteur.

All his stories are amazing.

We will

talk later. Ready Player One is in

cinemas from next Thursday.

Towards the end of last year,

the Dollery family emailed us to ask

for help in highlighting a problem

they were facing in dealing

with what they saw as

hard-hearted bureaucracy.

This is what happened next.

Dad was a very intelligent, very

kind, very thoughtful, unbelievably

understanding man. He was my buddy,

my best friend. We just liked to be

with each other.

A few weeks before

he died, I remember saying to him

how contented I felt with my life.

On the 18th of June 2015, Andrea

Dollery and her husband Ian were

getting ready to go on holiday.

Their daughter Grace had returned

home to look after the house while

they were away. That evening, Ian

went to his garage to let the dogs

out when they heard a scream.

We ran

to the back of the house, where my

dad was, and my dad had collapsed.

And the attacker was stood over him.

Andrea immediately threw herself at

the attacker, but he turned on her.

I stumbled backwards and fell over,

and he was over me with the knife.

I

had grabbed a broom after I heard my

dad scream. Have I not, Mum probably

wouldn't be here.

Grace managed to

fight off the attacker with the

broom. Ian died from multiple stab

wounds on his way to hospital. It

was an unprovoked random attack in

their own home by a complete

stranger to them.

I mean, to take

everything away from someone in a

matter of minutes for no reason...

Life is not life, it's just an

existence. I don't even really want

it.

Blameless victims like Grace and

Andrea are entitled to compensation

from the state from the Criminal

Injuries Compensation Authority, or

see ICA, to claim costs. For a crime

such as this, they could expect to

receive payments from the CICA of

£20,000 to £30,000 each. However,

research shows that what the CICA

pays out in compensation has

dramatically reduced in recent

years. In 2012, they paid out £450

million. Last year, that went down

to £143 million. That is three times

less. Grace and Andrea began the

complicated process of claiming

compensation following Ian's death,

but they were soon overwhelmed with

frustration at a system they felt

was working against them.

They

seemed to take no account of the

mental state that we have been in.

The CICA claimed they did not have

the paperwork, sending things out

twice or asking for the same

information again.

Not only that,

they say for each separate part of

the claim, they had to speak to a

different person.

That means

explaining the murder to every

single person you speak to. It is

giving out the dates when he

witnessed your dad being murdered

over and over again.

They are

totally lacking in any compassion,

empathy or humanity.

Three years

have passed since Ian's death and

they are still waiting for some

payments, said today we have

arranged for them to meet Baroness

Newlove. In her role as victims

commissioner, she promotes the

interests of victims and witnesses,

and she has the power to influence

government. How are you feeling?

Determined.

Baroness Newlove's

husband Gary was killed by a gang of

youths outside their home in 2007.

She is launching a review into the

CICA and wants to hear from victims

about their experiences.

I was upset

and angry that I have to go through

all of this to prove that I have

mental injuries.

Mum is one of the

strongest people I have ever known.

She threw herself at my dad's

attacker there handed, and she is

struggling with it.

This meant to be

a system that is working in your

favour, and yet it is like they are

battling.

There are more and more

people writing to me with the same

kind of emotion that Grace and

Andrea are showing here. It saddens

me to sit here, but it also makes me

more passionate to get involved with

all the other victims and to make it

better.

The Grace, something that

would help is a single point of

contact at the CICA.

It's just

common sense.

It is very common

sense, so that is why I am

passionate about an advocate who

would be that individual contact who

would take the baton right the way

through.

I am really glad I made the

effort to come on the show and do

something about it, because... We

feel we have been let down a lot and

this is the first sign we have seen

that something might change. I'm not

asking for a medal or any

recognition, I'm just asking for a

bit of money so that I can get on

with my life. That is what this

money is meant to be full, it's so

that it can help you carry on. So

why are they making you fight for

it? It means that those people who

don't have the fight in them aren't

going to get anywhere. And how is

that fair?

Well, Andrea and Grace have had

something of a breakthrough

since we filmed with them.

Andrea has now received an offer

for the maximum payment possible

for mental health injuries.

Grace is in the final

stages of her claim,

and hopes to receive an offer soon.

We have a statement from the CICA,

who send their deepest sympathies

to the Dollery family.

They told us they've worked hard

to speed up their system,

including bringing more of it online

and employing in-house

psychologists.

Where a bereaved relative claims

for mental injury, they are required

to obtain a clinical prognosis

before awarding compensation,

which can lead to delays

beyond their control.

Ultimately, they say their aim

is to ensure victims receive

the maximum compensation they're

entitled to, and their needs remain

at the heart of everything they do.

Please go to our website if you have

had an experience with the CICA.

Baroness Newlove would like to hear

from you.

Olivia, I would love to talk to you

about Vanity Fair. You play Becky

Sharp, a sassy, manipulative social

climber. What can you tell us?

Just

like you!

I play me, really! It is

on in the autumn. The last I heard,

it would be on in September on ITV,

prime-time Sunday night telly. My

mum is dead happy.

What accent are

you using for that?

Received

pronunciation.

Is that harder or

easier?

Harder. With a northern

accent, it is easier to access the

American accent. But you speak more

towards the front of your mouth for

a posh voice, which is hard for me.

We shall see.

You use your lips a

lot more.

Yes, I do.

And Simon, you

are producing these days. You have a

production company with Nick Frost.

Yes, we have a film coming out later

this year called slaughterhouse

rules, which is a horror comedy

directed by Crispian Mills who was

in Pulisic and is the grandson of

John Mills and the son of Hayley

Mills. And we are writing a show

called Truth Seekers, which is a

paranormal investigation comedy.

Come back soon. And bring Steven

Spielberg with you. Fax to both of

you. It's been lovely. We will be

back tomorrow with Michael Sheen and

Nicola Adams.

Just before we go, tomorrow

is World Down's Syndrome Day.

And we think this is

all you need to know.
