20/05/2014 The One Show

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

What a packed show we have got for you tonight. Later, the talented

Jake Bugg will be outside, performing live for us. First, we

are joined by an elder statesman from the East End. During his 29

years in Albert Square, he has been a market trader, loan shark, cafe

owner, landlord. Now he is at the centre of an explosive storyline

following the murder of his daughter, Lucy Beale. But she is not

here. So none of it, nothing matters. So what do you do, just let

the place go? I have lost everything. It is of course Adam

Woodyatt! Welcome. And smiling. We have not seen you smile for months.

There have been a lot of tears. Do you feel drained from it? That was

about eight weeks ago so I have had a quieter time, not so many tears.

The last week put a block was the first time I have not cried in

months. Ian Beale has never been the most loved East End. You just called

me over as well. I was just reading the autocue. But it is nice that he

can show a softer side. I think the softer side has always been there,

it just gets buried under money, and wanted to learn more. But he has

always tried to be a caring parent, and failed miserably at it. We will

talk more about the situation that Ian Beale is in later.

Now, energy bills rose yet again by an average of ?58 per house hold

last year, so it is no wonder that more of us are trying to generate

our own power, rather than buying it from an energy firm. There are over

5000 community energy projects up and running in the UK.

Joe Crowley went to West Sussex to see one of the newest. Last summer,

the usually quiet village of Balcombe in West Sussex found itself

on the front line of the debate about Britain's growing energy

crisis. It became one of the first sites for exploratory drilling by

the fracking company Cuadrilla, and the anti-fracking groups turned out

in force to meet them. The protests and media attention they provoke

split opinion in the village, and left behind a deeply divided

community. The protest camps may have moved on, but life has not

exactly returned back to normal here. The fracking controversy got

villagers thinking about where the future energy could and should come

from. Many people here were clear that they did not want to have any

of this as a source of energy. But now there is a plan instead for

these, thousands of them. A group of residents are starting an energy

cooperative to power the village sustainability and are potentially

courting controversy all over again. Where did this idea come from? It

came out of the troubles we had last summer, particularly to do with the

fracking and the protest. But out of that, we got the idea that maybe

there was a way forward, like a phoenix from the ashes. And we could

do something positive. The key objective is to produce as much

power in the village using renewable energy as we use. Kilowatt per

kilowatt, we want to produce as much as we use as a village. To generate

enough electricity to power the village's 760 hands as well as

businesses and amenities, they have to find space for around 12,000

solar panels. Joe and Tom from the corporative have in scouting around

for good sites. We are talking about thousands of solar panels here. This

is just a small village. Where will they go? We are looking to put the

solar panels on commercial buildings, not private properties.

Within Balcombe, we would put them on the local village hall and the

local primary school. And around Balcombe, we would look at

large-scale roofs and eventually, solar rays on fields. Other than the

school and the village hall, they are looking to hide them away and

industrial buildings and fields outside Balcombe, places like this

cattle shed on Grange farm in nearby Crawley down, where they are hoping

to put up the first hundred solar panels. The power generators will be

sold back into the National Grid to offset the village's energy use, but

by allowing the cooperative to use the shed, farmers Gordon and Chris

will also benefit. So this is it? This is it, yes. I should be getting

some reduced rates for electricity. That is what is in it for me.

Members of the cooperative have personally raised the ?30,000 needed

to install the panels at Grange farm, but the whole scheme comes

with a hefty price tag of ?3 million. To help pay for that, they

are turning to the locals. So if I live here, I buy shares or pay for a

solar panel? You buy shares in the Co-op, and they give you a return of

5%. All the money from this project goes back to the local community in

one way or another. Supporters of fracking said that after initial

disruption, it has little impact on the environment. The same cannot be

said for solar panels, however, so is it really an improvement? This is

for the long-term. You are asking people to sign up for 20 years.

There will be thousands of solar panels everywhere, so is that

better? This is a term solution as opposed to a temporary solution.

Solar panels make no noise. In terms of disruption, it could not be more

minimal. So how do residents feel about the scheme, and will they be

tempted to invest? It is a good idea, and on the back of the

fracking issues, it is positive. Hopefully, it will bring the village

back together again. Frankly, I think they are a blot on the

landscape, solar panels on the ruse of these old buildings. And on these

rules? The appearance does not bother me. Yes, my parents and my

brother have invested. We are talking very long-term, not a few

years. Probably 15 years. Too long. After taking on the frackers last

summer, Balcombe could have opted to return to the quiet life. Instead,

it looks like remaining at the forefront of the energy debate for

some time to come, so watch this space.

And Lucy joins us now. These energy cooperatives are getting

increasingly popular in Europe. Why is that? Some countries have really

gone for it, like Germany. By 2010, 40% of Germany's sizeable renewable

sector was from community energy. That is from energy cooperatives,

solar photovoltaics and turbines. People think there is permitted in

the UK as well. Experts say that by 2020, we could be powering 1 million

home from community energy projects. It does seem to be the way

to go, local communities using the resources you have got Andy. So if

you live I a river, hydropower is the way to go. These schemes can be

very expensive depending on the size of your community, so what help is

out there? There are lots of different grants to apply for. But

there are some smaller schemes that are community energy projects, but

with a lesser contribution. For example, you could get together and

bulk by solar panels to drive the price down. Then you are looking at

technology like biomass oilers, which use offcuts from the wood

industry. That does not necessarily make sense for a single household,

but when everyone comes together, it does. Put a big boiler at the end of

the street? And simple things such as switching supplier together. So

it is about the power of numbers and it is good for community spirit. We

reckon that Albert Square and EastEnders could do their bit to

make Walford more energy independent. Have a look at this.

They have a wind turbine on Turpin Road. That could generate enough

power for 1400 households, or 230 million cups of tea. Unfortunately,

Albert Square is not windy enough, but solar panels on the Queen Vic

are a different prospect. There are about 60 residents, so we reckon we

need ten solar panels and that will cost ?70,000. It would pay you back

in time. But there is a real baddie in Albert Square. There is one very

poor performing resident, and that is Dot. I thought it was me! She is

a wind turbine in herself. It is all leaking from her house, so she is

losing about ?290 worth of energy, they think, a year. She has single

glazing and no insulation, and she has an old boiler. That is not a

nice way to talk about her. Pass the message on. I will tell June. It

will be a long conversation. Has she been here? She has, she was lovely.

We had so much material, and it went out of the window. Now, the Beales

have had various this is in Albert Square over the years, but none have

had the longevity of the family in our next film.

Five generations of the Gibson family on the Isles of Scilly have

had a photography business, capturing the social history of the

island for 150 years. But as the digital age takes over, could this

be the end of the line? The as of Scilly are just 30 miles

off the south-west coast of Cornwall, but they are a world away

from the mainland. For five generations, Sandra Gibson's family

has run a photographic business here. Founded 150 years ago by her

great-great-grandfather. John Gibson was a seaman. He brought a camera

back with him from his foreign travels. It started as a hobby, and

he quickly realised that this could be used to further supplement the

family income. The business thrived. Don's sons, Alexander and Herbert,

inherited the father's Kenai for commerce, as well as composition. --

they inherited his eye for commerce. They were among the early producers

of postcards. If you were to look back at some events, you will find

that it was usually recorded pictorially by a Gibson. Social

events, courtships, Marine tragedy. There were spectacular pig is which

all the words in the world would not capture. -- pictures. It is hard to

imagine sometimes that these come waters are notoriously hazardous.

Across the generations, the Gibsons have compiled a extraordinary record

of hundreds of shipwrecks. I think they realised that ship wrecks

captured the public imagination. They did see themselves as

photojournalists. They wanted to chronicle the events of Scilly.

Father and son would capture the same events. They could literally

illustrate the past. In 1939, the business passed on to James Gibson,

then to Frank, Sandra's father, who died in 2012. The family's old

studio stores a treasure trove of historic images, many of them now

rarely seen. Our problem is that we have so many different formats. My

dad always laughed and said, it is all up here, but sometimes that

failed him. The key to finding any particular picture is having the

knowledge of what format it was taken on, from the old world X ten

early glass plates. That one shows beached whales, which was a massive

talking point at the time. That is a lantern slide that dates from the

30s. The family produced them to sell them and us of the public so

that they could have a slide show in their own home. It is a daunting

inheritance. Sandra has had to make difficult decisions. In November,

the family's ship wreck collection was sold to the national maritime

museum in Greenwich. It should not be wasted by sitting on a shelf. It

needs to be looked after. It needs to be archived properly and made

accessible. After a century and a half, it is the first stage in

winding down the Gibsons' photographic business altogether.

Everybody is recording history phones, the digital cameras. There

is no place for us now. The question is what happens to the rest of the

collection. One would never choose to split an archive remain museum

point of view. That has already happened. It would be much better to

keep an archive here so that we could interpret it in context.

Working with a local museum, The One Show has helped to stage a pop-up

exhibition of images that could now be leaving the islands for good.

That photograph is of 1909 and it has particular relevance to my

family because my grandfather was drowned in that shipwreck. There is

a member of your family in virtually every photograph. That is my great

grandfather being presented to the Prince of Wales. It is lovely to see

all the photographs of the family that go back years. There have even

been some that I have not seen before. The history of the islands

is there for all to see. Whatever happens to the photographic archive

here, it is the end of a dynasty. But these islands have a long

tradition of surviving turbulent times. Hopefully they will find a

way to whether this latest local storm.

One thing we did not know about Adam is that you are very keen and very

good photographer. You have sent in some pictures. In the usual way, to

the usual email address! Some camera trickery going on with this one. A

touch of trickery. I had a word with the props department. I asked them

to turn the set on its side so that we could run up the wall. But there

is an invisible wheelie bin involved. Be quiet! I like this one.

This is good. That was just fun. Messing around on set with my

telephone. You take all these pictures with a mobile phone. No,

that was a proper camera, big tripod and everything set up. That one was

with my telephone. That is what you do in between scenes? Yes, just for

fun. You started photography when you are 13, back in the day, then at

16 you joined the cast of Eastenders and everything changed. Thank you

for getting that photograph out! That was before I discovered where

make was. To be fair, you literally do not look much older. You have not

changed at all. Are you trying to make up for calling me the elder

statesman? A little bit! You would never have imagined that it would

last so long, would you? With a 20-year-old daughter. That is the

crazy thing. 29 years of history. Everybody is feeling for you at the

moment. Nobody knows who the murderer is. Nobody has a clue.

There four people. At the BAFTAs I try to get the boss drunk to find

out who it was but failed miserably. Just to help people at home if they

have not caught up, your daughter has been murdered and there are

various suspects. All of us! Including Dot Cotton. And including

you. We don't know who it is and only four people do know. You

compare this to Broadchurch in a sense because EastEnders is

Broadchurch, isn't it? That is how Dominic, the boss, sold it to me. He

just said in one word, we are going to do Broadchurch. Is it right that

you filmed 15 different endings? What a load of rubbish! We were

excited by that. We would never do that. What a waste of time. How far

into it will you know who the murderer is? Is it just day by day

when you get the script? I don't think we will find out until

February. The viewers might find out before the cast. They will see

something on screen. What is the climax at the moment? Is it

ongoing? I have another eight months of grief. No, it will be toned down.

Moments like birthdays, things like that, when it will come flooding

back. Let's look at the odds and the suspects. Dot Cotton is there. 100

to one. Yes, unlikely. Then... O! Abi Branning seven to one. That is

worth a punt. Max Branning, ten to one, and yourself, Ian Beale, at 33

to one. You could be it. That got a reaction, 33 to one! Lucy's funeral

is on tonight, an hour-long special, and of course it does not pass

without incident because Phil drops a bombshell. I am only telling you

this because I am on your side and if it was me, I would want to know.

Max, well, he was involved with Lucy. Involved? With the business?

He was sleeping with her. APPLAUSE

EastEnders will be on BBC One tonight at eight o'clock. Your

on-screen character is part of the welfare dynasty. There have been

five generations of Beales on Albert Square. We will test your knowledge

now on the family, if that is OK. Yes, we are going to play Beale Or

No Beale. Yes! Oh, dear. Think back to the family tree. The first one is

Mary Flaherty. Beale Or No Beale? She is a Beale because that is

Maggie's granddaughter. Yes, a Beale. Your first cousin once

removed. Thanks for that because I can never work that stuff out.

Little Mo Slater. She married Trevor, she had an affair with...

No. You are saying nope Beale. Beale Or No Beale? No! You are good at

this. Hang on. Sorry, wrong show. We haven't got time! Last one. Joe

Wicks. Yes, Beale. You are saying Beale? The box says Beale! Joe

Wicks, you're half brother's son, so your nephew. Well, contentious. Not

100% sure if he is my half brother. Sorry, I have got my brothers

confused. No, that one is half brother, isn't it? We will sort it

out in the next four minutes and let you know shortly! After 800 years of

absence, something is bound to cause problems. In the Forest of Dean it

is the human population that is up in arms about the return of the wild

boar. The Royal Forest of Dean in

Gloucestershire is one of our great ancient forests. But this tranquil

landscape is now being stirred by a creature from its past. An animal

that was hunted to extinction here in the 13th century has now made a

comeback and is dividing a community. It is the wild boar.

About 30 years ago, wild boar started to appear in the forest. It

is thought some had escaped from farms, while others were illegally

released, and they can have 14 piglets a year. So the population

boomed. There are thought to be 600 boar living in the forest but the

growth brings its own problems. By venturing out of the forest in

search of food, they have created pretty strong headlines. Tony is one

of many local residents to have had a close encounter with a boar in the

garden. We have lived here for 15 years and this is the first time

that we have ever seen boar so close to us. There they were, enjoying

their breakfast on the daffodil bulbs and digging up the lawn.

Despite the damage, for some the return of the animal is positive for

the area. David Slater is from Friends of the Boar. What they call

damage is simply an animal trying to find its food. This is what

underpins the entire ecosystem of the forest. Protecting your garden

is one thing but in the forest, things are not so easy to control,

as Sean and Vicky recently found out while walking their dogs. I felt

something brushing up against the back of my leg. I could not hear

anything and I went down on all fours. I looked up and there was a

250 kilograms mail boar snorting. It attacked both dogs, leaving them

with nasty injuries. They are recovering well but the attack has

made Sean and Vicky more cautious. Do you still walk the dogs in the

Forest of Dean? Not any more. I go down to the river where there are no

boar. Steps have been taken to address the issue. For the last

eight years the Forestry Commission has carried out a cult to control

numbers, that this has proved controversial. Ian Harvey is the

local chief wildlife officer and believes numbers should be

controlled. They have no natural predators in the UK and they have

vigorous breeding dynamics. You start off with a fuel and then very

quickly you have a great number, leading to increases in road traffic

incidents. -- you start off with a couple. The Forestry Commission are

monitoring the numbers. They are nocturnal but we have some clever

technology to make the counting easier. After an hour of constant

scanning, the thermal camera finally picks up something. Off to the left.

I have got something really are. We have got boar. There are more

behind. Look at that! Nice of you to show me this. We are surrounded by

them. We have the most amazing view. The boar we have seen tonight will

be added to the data collected by the Forestry Commission and once the

current population has been estimated, they can then determine

what management steps to take next. It has been great to see wild boar

thriving in their original habitat. Culling animals will always be

controversial but to maintain a balance between a healthy ecosystem

and a happy community is always going to mean that difficult

decisions have got to be made. We are now joined by a future Mike

Dilger, with much more hair thankfully. Seven-year-old Nathan

from Norfolk, who found this skull. You have a special name for this,

haven't you? Charlie big. You call him Charlie big but he is actually a

prehistoric boar. Can you remember where you found him? On the beach

with my mummy and we were walking the dog. Can you remember what you

saw? Something yellow in the rock fall. And you dug it out and it was

this, wasn't it? Turn it around so everybody can see the amazing to

because you saw the tasks at the beginning. Where do you keep this

now? In mummy's bedroom. Really! Where? We used to keep it in a

dining room that now mummy keeps it in her room. That is absolutely

extraordinary, as is the fact that Adam, your house was built on a zoo

and you find things like this. I built the patio and when I got the

digger in, I found loads of bones. Thank you for bringing Charlie in.

We enjoyed it. And you can stay tuned for an hour-long EastEnders

special at eight o'clock. Join us tomorrow when we will be live with

the Sound Of Music with guests Julie Andrews and Sir Ian McKellen. Before

we go, we have an exclusive performance from Jake Bugg. It is

from his latest album Shangri-La. Take it away.
