:00:18. > :00:24.Hello and welcome to The One Show with Patrick Kielty. And Angellica
:00:25. > :00:29.Bell. Patrick, good to have you with me but you have been busy today,
:00:30. > :00:32.presenting the BBC Radio New Comedy Award.
:00:33. > :00:34.presenting the BBC Radio New Comedy macro it's been going for years and
:00:35. > :00:36.some other people it's brought through include Alan Carr, Peter Kay
:00:37. > :00:40.and Sarah Millican. through include Alan Carr, Peter Kay
:00:41. > :00:51.brilliant final and as a treat, I have brought the finalists. Athena
:00:52. > :00:56.Kugblenu, Andy Storey... Hello! LAUGHTER
:00:57. > :00:58.Kugblenu, Andy Storey... Hello! We have Michael Stranney, Russ Peers
:00:59. > :01:03.and someone who looks a little bit happier than the rest, because she
:01:04. > :01:10.is the winner, Yuriko Kotani. APPLAUSE
:01:11. > :01:13.Congratulations. What is it like being up with some of the greatest
:01:14. > :01:18.comedians the country has ever seen or heard? It was such an honour to
:01:19. > :01:25.get to this stage. I still can't believe that I won it! She's going
:01:26. > :01:29.to cry. It means so much to walk away with this. I know you are
:01:30. > :01:35.feeling very emotional and this is what you did to take home the award.
:01:36. > :01:40.There is one word, one beautiful English word I love, and we don't
:01:41. > :01:53.have this word in Japanese. It is... Ish. They are tears of joy.
:01:54. > :01:57.Comedy and tears and we are only two minutes in! You can listen back to
:01:58. > :02:01.the whole show on iPlayer. These guys might be the future of comedy
:02:02. > :02:07.but tonight's guest has been making us laugh since before they were
:02:08. > :02:10.born. He's written comedies like the donkey and Outnumbered. And he has a
:02:11. > :02:16.shelf of awards that puts young upstarts like me to shame. Please
:02:17. > :02:24.welcome Andy Hamilton! APPLAUSE Bow down! Thanks for coming. Any
:02:25. > :02:32.words of advice for the finalists? Don't listen to bald old men giving
:02:33. > :02:36.you advice! I think it is maybe not listening to much. Everyone has to
:02:37. > :02:39.carve out their own identity. There's a danger sometimes that if
:02:40. > :02:47.you listen to to much, lose your voice. Don't listen to too much
:02:48. > :02:51.advice. That is my advice! When you were starting out in the 1970s, is
:02:52. > :02:55.it easier for these guys coming through all what it easier back
:02:56. > :02:58.then? In some ways, it is easier because you have more outlets like
:02:59. > :03:03.YouTube and everything, so they get to make stuff and appear earlier. I
:03:04. > :03:10.think it is harder to earn a living from it because there's not so much
:03:11. > :03:14.revenue at the end of it necessarily. Identity no. I'm the
:03:15. > :03:20.last person to ask. When I started, it was a lot less competitive. We
:03:21. > :03:25.will hear more about you and your tour later. On Tuesday, Mike Dilger
:03:26. > :03:34.strapped a camera to a toy dear, covered it in your in -- and failed
:03:35. > :03:39.to get stacks to make with it. Tonight he's on St Kilda, attempting
:03:40. > :03:42.to send a letter by simply throwing it into the sea and crossing his
:03:43. > :03:48.fingers. I think someone needs to have a quiet word with him.
:03:49. > :03:53.More than 100 miles out from the coast of Scotland, there are few
:03:54. > :03:58.places more isolated than the islands on St Kilda. But even here,
:03:59. > :04:02.human ingenuity managed to overcome the problems of communication. First
:04:03. > :04:10.inhabited around 4000 years ago, until the 1930s, a few hardy souls
:04:11. > :04:13.made this their home. With no phones on the island or postal service, the
:04:14. > :04:18.inhabitants of St Kilda found a novel way of keeping in touch with
:04:19. > :04:26.tiny boats, cast adrift on the torturer sees. The people of St
:04:27. > :04:30.Kilda fashion the boat outside any waterproof container sealed to a
:04:31. > :04:33.wooden keel with a handmade float attached. I've set myself the
:04:34. > :04:37.challenge of making and launching my very own mail boat for The One Show
:04:38. > :04:43.with a message for the mainland. But the first hurdle is getting there.
:04:44. > :04:48.Derek Gordon runs boat trips to St Kilda and knows all too well how
:04:49. > :04:51.treacherous the trip can be. The people of St Kilda would have very
:04:52. > :04:58.limited opportunities to come back to the mainland. Life for them was
:04:59. > :05:03.on this craggy piece of rock in the Atlantic, exposed to the storms that
:05:04. > :05:07.were coming in. It was very much survivalist living out there. But
:05:08. > :05:10.the problem is, it is such a hostile environment. You could not keep the
:05:11. > :05:20.boat. In fact, they did not go fishing. The entire foodstuff was
:05:21. > :05:26.sea birds. I have to say, it's a long journey on choppy seas. You can
:05:27. > :05:32.see why the postman did not make it part of his regular route. Five
:05:33. > :05:37.hours at sea and St Kilda's imposing cliffs come into view. The islanders
:05:38. > :05:44.would scale them in search of food but in 1930, the last 36 left the
:05:45. > :05:48.island for good. Today, the seas have been kind to us but it was
:05:49. > :05:53.rough waters and stormy weather that led to the creation of the first St
:05:54. > :05:57.Kilda mail boats. There was a journalist, John Sands, who had come
:05:58. > :05:59.to spend the summer but hoped to get off on the last boat of the season
:06:00. > :06:06.which did not happen because of the weather. At the end of January,
:06:07. > :06:09.1877, a boat came into the bay and it was Austrian sailors who had been
:06:10. > :06:16.shipwrecked. John Sands thought he could send what is called a mail
:06:17. > :06:21.boat, and unbelievably, five or six days later, it turned up on Orkney.
:06:22. > :06:26.Amazing! Wright three weeks after these men came to the bay, a naval
:06:27. > :06:30.vessel came to rescue them. In 1957 in the midst of the Cold War, St
:06:31. > :06:35.Kilda had a reprieve when the MoD set up a radar base on the island.
:06:36. > :06:41.For the first time, communication with the mainland became possible,
:06:42. > :06:45.albeit top-secret. Today's islanders are just temporary visitors,
:06:46. > :06:51.tourists and conservation groups. But an occasional mail boat keeps
:06:52. > :06:59.the tradition alive. Our mail boat is quite a simple design, basically
:07:00. > :07:02.a hollowed out piece of wood with a temp one attached which would it
:07:03. > :07:05.traditionally have been an inflated sheep bladder. It is heavily at the
:07:06. > :07:10.base of Richard stay upright and allow the GPS tracker inside the box
:07:11. > :07:15.to work. Also inside, a note for the finder, telling them to contact The
:07:16. > :07:19.One Show with its whereabouts. How long will it take for the post to
:07:20. > :07:23.arrive? With the right wind, two thirds of mail boats have made it to
:07:24. > :07:28.the mainland, although some go as far as Scandinavia and may take
:07:29. > :07:33.months to get there. St Kilda has an extreme exposure to the waves, a
:07:34. > :07:36.huge swell and deep oceanic currents, making it tough to get
:07:37. > :07:40.here and even more difficult to predict what my tiny mail boat is
:07:41. > :07:46.going to do. We will just have to wait and see. The moment of truth!
:07:47. > :07:54.For more than six weeks, we monitored the redoubtable mail boat
:07:55. > :07:58.before its signal faded. It was not heading to the mainland but hundreds
:07:59. > :08:05.of miles of course, bound for Norway, lost in the mail, for now.
:08:06. > :08:09.And The One Show mail boat has just sent me a letter to say that the
:08:10. > :08:15.stupid stand in host has forgotten to name check one of the axes
:08:16. > :08:21.introduced for the New Comedy Award, Ken Cheng! Give it up! APPLAUSE
:08:22. > :08:23.That is the look of a man disappointed that he lost the
:08:24. > :08:29.competition and not even getting a name check. Orange Rabiu feel bad. I
:08:30. > :08:35.do but joining us now, Mark Mason, the author of a book called Mail
:08:36. > :08:39.Obsessions. Before we speak to you, you have done that boat trip. Yes,
:08:40. > :08:44.to St Kilda and when you get there, there's a shop and they sell little
:08:45. > :08:48.woollen hats with puffin on and I only lost mine a couple of days ago.
:08:49. > :08:52.If there's anyone in that shop, you know where send it! Mark Connolly
:08:53. > :08:56.you have been delving into the history of the Royal Mail and
:08:57. > :09:00.Mike's mail boat is not the craziest form of post that has existed. The
:09:01. > :09:06.craziest one was in the Outer Hebrides, and to get the mail from
:09:07. > :09:08.one island to the other, this lunatic German called Gerhard Zucker
:09:09. > :09:10.in the 1930s, who lunatic German called Gerhard Zucker
:09:11. > :09:17.expert, self-proclaimed, which is lunatic German called Gerhard Zucker
:09:18. > :09:19.expert, decided he was... The Post Office agreed to let him do
:09:20. > :09:23.expert, decided he was... The Post of 1200 letters with a lot of rocket
:09:24. > :09:25.fuel and a big explosion. What could possibly go wrong? It
:09:26. > :09:27.fuel and a big explosion. What could destroyed most of the letters and
:09:28. > :09:32.they said they did not want anything to do with them.
:09:33. > :09:32.they said they did not want anything At one stage, this can't
:09:33. > :09:35.they said they did not want anything you could post a person? You could
:09:36. > :09:53.post yourself to an you could post a person? You could
:09:54. > :09:58.posted to Downing Street to see the Prime
:09:59. > :09:59.posted to Downing Street to see the with them with hats like that. But
:10:00. > :10:02.posted to Downing Street to see the design the form tag setting delivery
:10:03. > :10:06.of the letters because they were design the form tag setting delivery
:10:07. > :10:11.letters, they were women. In other countries, they have revolutions but
:10:12. > :10:15.in this country, we have the Prime Minister's Butler arguing over
:10:16. > :10:21.whether or not a woman is a letter. Oscar Wilde had a cunning way to
:10:22. > :10:24.send the post? He used to write them and put the stamp on and
:10:25. > :10:26.send the post? He used to write them out of the window onto the pavement
:10:27. > :10:29.outside his house because he knew someone walking down the
:10:30. > :10:30.outside his house because he knew would think someone had dropped a
:10:31. > :10:35.letter they wanted posting and they would pick it up and post it for
:10:36. > :10:36.him. You say you would not do it but if I found a letter on the ground
:10:37. > :10:42.with a stamp would you not just if I found a letter on the ground
:10:43. > :10:42.it up and put it in the post box? That is
:10:43. > :10:49.it up and put it in the post box? check if there was money in it
:10:50. > :10:51.first? Didn't his neighbours catch on, again," it's that lazy
:10:52. > :10:55.cheapskate Oscar Wilde", on, again," it's that lazy
:10:56. > :11:05.back through his letterbox? I would have done that. And animals on the
:11:06. > :11:07.back through his letterbox? I would offices and
:11:08. > :11:15.back through his letterbox? I would civil servants.
:11:16. > :11:18.they got a pension. The record-holder was Tibbs
:11:19. > :11:19.they got a pension. The who was 23 and was obviously very
:11:20. > :11:28.good at his 14 years. He was the record-holder.
:11:29. > :11:32.Knew briefly worked at the Post Office? Yes I did but I got promoted
:11:33. > :11:35.to a thing they were experimenting Office? Yes I did but I got promoted
:11:36. > :11:38.with, a new system sending information through computers in the
:11:39. > :11:42.1970s. I had to write a custom document and I was thinking,
:11:43. > :11:50."sending information from computers? How is that going to work? " That
:11:51. > :11:53.was in the 70s. The Queen said the first e-mail in 1976, so she was
:11:54. > :11:58.slightly ahead of the game. first e-mail in 1976, so she was
:11:59. > :12:01.called the experimental packet switching system. You had to wait
:12:02. > :12:05.for clusters of data and send them by the phone line to another
:12:06. > :12:10.company. I don't know what happened then. I did not know the post could
:12:11. > :12:17.be so interesting. I'm lost. Return to sender! Mail Obsessions is out
:12:18. > :12:26.now. This is a strange question but how do you like your potatoes?
:12:27. > :12:32.Polite. I don't mind. I'm easy. I like mine with more potatoes. Just
:12:33. > :12:38.potatoes with potatoes, served by an Irish mammy. What about you? On the
:12:39. > :12:42.rocks with a dash of cola. He is how. It seems it is not as comfort
:12:43. > :12:47.food we get from potatoes these days but our Friday night table as well.
:12:48. > :12:52.On this farm in Herefordshire, all the potatoes are used to make their
:12:53. > :12:55.own vodka and gin. Why did Farmer William Chase decide his potatoes
:12:56. > :13:00.should be going into spirits rather than onto supermarket shelves? I
:13:01. > :13:03.could not make any money. When we went with the supermarket, they only
:13:04. > :13:08.wanted these and then the pretty ones, which was 50%. We were under
:13:09. > :13:13.constant pressure all the time. Now fully gin and vodka, we can use
:13:14. > :13:18.everything. So it's a very efficient use of the potato crop? Yes,
:13:19. > :13:24.fantastic, it all goes in. It takes 300 potatoes to make one bottle of
:13:25. > :13:29.gin. Potatoes? That is almost what we are looking at here. So how is
:13:30. > :13:33.this actually done? Fresh from the fields, the potatoes are cleaned,
:13:34. > :13:38.peeled and then, well, then they are matched. Mashed potato comes in
:13:39. > :13:45.here, injected with steam, basically cooking it. Once it is cooked, it
:13:46. > :13:50.sits in the tanks for about three weeks, turning 10% of it into
:13:51. > :13:55.alcohol. Are potatoes suited to this? Do they have enough sugar to
:13:56. > :13:59.turn into alcohol? To make a cheap spirit, you should use wheat cereals
:14:00. > :14:03.because it makes it blind and simple but if you want a fine spirit, this
:14:04. > :14:09.is the handicap, you have do have all these tanks and tonnes of
:14:10. > :14:15.potatoes to make it. At this point, it is alcoholic mashed potato.
:14:16. > :14:18.Exactly, we want to strip the 10% alcohol out of the potato, boiling
:14:19. > :14:22.it again, alcohol is lighter than water so it rises to the top and it
:14:23. > :14:25.goes there and then the waterfall down with the mashed potato which
:14:26. > :14:30.goes to the cows and the compost. Lots of alcohol, what do we do with
:14:31. > :14:34.it? More alcohol and this is where the magic happens because this is
:14:35. > :14:38.where we polish it and turn it into the beautiful they could we finish
:14:39. > :14:41.up with. The magic happens in this, the tallest bubble column in
:14:42. > :14:45.Europe. Most vodka is distilled three times but William's goes
:14:46. > :14:49.through 50 distillations, turning from liquid to steam every time it
:14:50. > :14:53.hit a bubble plate. Just the finest alcohol is left which is dilutive in
:14:54. > :15:00.spring water to bring it down to 40% volume. Then some of the vodka goes
:15:01. > :15:03.on to be made into gin. Gin is the finishing touch because it is
:15:04. > :15:10.flavoured vodka, basically. We have a still and inside it, we marinade
:15:11. > :15:14.the Juniper 's, because if it you what to call it gin, it has to have
:15:15. > :15:18.Juniper 's. To make it sweet, you add orange peel or if you want it
:15:19. > :15:21.dry, you add lemon peel so playing with the botanicals finishes it off
:15:22. > :15:26.but it all comes back to the base quality.
:15:27. > :15:37.For your average gin, that base product is cereal grain. You start
:15:38. > :15:44.with 300 potatoes, what do you have at the end? We just have this,
:15:45. > :15:50.potatoes and vodka. I am impressed with that, it is race moves. Who
:15:51. > :15:57.would have thought potato juice could taste so good? Cheers. -- it
:15:58. > :16:04.is very smooth. Shall we try it out? You have be
:16:05. > :16:13.looking forward to this. It would be foolish not to. Cheers, Cheers.
:16:14. > :16:24.Potatoes, potatoes! This is all vodka. Mother of wholly moly. It is
:16:25. > :16:32.good! Smooth. While Angellica gets her voice back, Andy, you are in the
:16:33. > :16:39.middle... Sorry, what? Apparently we are in the middle of a show. You are
:16:40. > :16:44.in the middle of your change management tour. It is a show
:16:45. > :16:49.looking back over some of my life. It is not a biographical show but it
:16:50. > :16:53.is looking at social changes which have happened in my life through the
:16:54. > :16:56.medium of jokes and just looking at things which have changed and
:16:57. > :17:03.whether it is important or not I'm just having a good time. Would you
:17:04. > :17:11.say you genuinely like change? Know, like most people, I instinctively
:17:12. > :17:18.don't like change. But you haven't changed the way you write. You still
:17:19. > :17:23.use pencil and paper. Pencils are actually a very classy piece of
:17:24. > :17:28.technology. You never see anybody swearing at a pencil. If you're
:17:29. > :17:34.pencil breaks, you do not have to ring a pencil helpline. I am a
:17:35. > :17:38.comedy writer. Whether my script arrives at a certain time, no one
:17:39. > :17:42.will live or die by that. I am not an emergency service. That is how I
:17:43. > :17:47.grew up, writing on pencil. My typing speed is so slow, I could not
:17:48. > :17:53.fight at the speed I want to write at. So it is longhand? It is not
:17:54. > :17:59.just me, my collaborator on Outnumbered Guy Jenkin also uses
:18:00. > :18:05.pencil. We keep people in work because they have to try but our
:18:06. > :18:08.scripts! Is very special of Outnumbered in the offing? The plan
:18:09. > :18:14.there will be a special in the summer. Our hope is that every
:18:15. > :18:17.couple of years we will revisit the family and see how they are getting
:18:18. > :18:23.on. When kids grow up, parenting changes, but it does not stop. The
:18:24. > :18:32.relationships change. Like a comedy 7-Up? A bit like that. Let's remind
:18:33. > :18:37.ourselves just why you love them. Howard you decide who is Prime
:18:38. > :18:41.Minister? There is an election and people vote. Are there lots of
:18:42. > :18:46.people and they say, I have had a terrible life and my family has
:18:47. > :18:53.died... Does not work entirely like that, no.
:18:54. > :18:56.It would be good if it did! Is it true that even when a sitcom is not
:18:57. > :19:01.on television, do the characters still live in your head? Are used or
:19:02. > :19:05.thinking of stories and the directions you could take the
:19:06. > :19:10.characters? To be honest, I have loads of voices in my head. But
:19:11. > :19:15.luckily I am in a profession where I can tell that an advantage rather
:19:16. > :19:20.than being put into care. Maybe they live in some sort abstract
:19:21. > :19:26.dimension. But I don't wake up thinking I wonder what George will
:19:27. > :19:33.be doing today. Is it voices in your head who have told you to
:19:34. > :19:43.crowdfund? Crowdfunding a novel, yes. I found a brilliant publisher
:19:44. > :19:46.and they are called Unbound. It is a very 18th-century kind of notion.
:19:47. > :19:51.You reach out to people who would like to read the book, like fans,
:19:52. > :19:57.and you make them your patron and say, can you fund the book?
:19:58. > :20:01.Strangely, the novel has seen say, can you fund the book?
:20:02. > :20:08.Saint Kilda. Really? Yes, say, can you fund the book?
:20:09. > :20:13.have to pay? If you just want the book, it is ?10. There are various
:20:14. > :20:20.rewards. You will go to someone else's house for dinner you said.
:20:21. > :20:25.And eat their food. I am prepared to travel for two hours for free food!
:20:26. > :20:35.What about Saint Kilda? That might be a bit more. You are starting to
:20:36. > :20:43.price this like a mechanic. Saint Kilda, that will cost you!
:20:44. > :20:49.So, it is throwback Friday. Do you remember this song?
:20:50. > :20:53.# Put your hands on, put your hands on.
:20:54. > :20:57.# Put your hands on, put your hands on.
:20:58. > :21:07.It has got a good beat. Do you remember it? Know. As Carrie Grant
:21:08. > :21:11.has been finding out, the story behind the song is not as upbeat as
:21:12. > :21:17.you might expect. This is one of the most popular
:21:18. > :21:20.singalong party and festival tracks. Place Your Hands was a
:21:21. > :21:34.top ten hit for West Country rockers Reef in 1996. Despite being such an
:21:35. > :21:39.upbeat track, the song was written after Gary Stringer's grandfather's
:21:40. > :21:45.death. I was grieving and that is how it
:21:46. > :21:51.came out in that lyric. The band started work on their second album.
:21:52. > :21:54.With three top 40 hits to their name already, renowned American producer
:21:55. > :22:01.was drafted in to help take the band to the next level. He was a great
:22:02. > :22:05.producer, a great producer, division and the bigger thing that when you
:22:06. > :22:09.are young... When you in a band, it is sometimes hard to hear the
:22:10. > :22:12.structure and the arrangement. Someone like George with that
:22:13. > :22:19.knowledge and overview can say, try this, try that. What made you want
:22:20. > :22:26.to work with the band? I think they made a great noise. I think it was a
:22:27. > :22:31.matter of being brave, having an experiment, opening up a little bit
:22:32. > :22:35.more and instead of adding salt and pepper, maybe chilli powder or
:22:36. > :22:41.something like that. Extending the flavour palette of the music.
:22:42. > :22:48.With George's encouragement to try different styles, Place Your Hands
:22:49. > :22:52.started to take shape. He had a 60s Fender Jazz bass and it
:22:53. > :22:59.was so nice to play. I started playing this baseline, a bit of a
:23:00. > :23:05.Motown feel. I started singing it. It was quite mellow at first, take
:23:06. > :23:09.me down to the water... Totally different lyric?
:23:10. > :23:14.Totally different, yes. The band went on tour across the UK. One
:23:15. > :23:19.night, Gary had some bad news. One night on the road, unfortunately my
:23:20. > :23:26.grandfather Ken died. He passed away. My grandparents were amazing
:23:27. > :23:32.beautiful people in everywhere. We brought the tour bus down to their
:23:33. > :23:39.house. They just hang out one I went to see my families. I gave my Nan a
:23:40. > :23:52.cuddle and my mum and dad. He was the first real person I knew who
:23:53. > :23:57.passed away. That made an impact. I cried at the common one in four
:23:58. > :24:03.weeks after he died. I remember playing that album and welling up
:24:04. > :24:09.thinking about my grandad. The lyric that came out, place your hands on,
:24:10. > :24:13.it is just asking for a cuddle really.
:24:14. > :24:18.It is a gospel song. I know Gary says it is about the sad thing in
:24:19. > :24:25.his life, but I thought, why not turn it around and make a
:24:26. > :24:30.celebration out of it? With George adding his magic to the mix, the
:24:31. > :24:36.band's album Glow went to number one with Place Your Hands becoming a big
:24:37. > :24:41.hit. Now having taken a seven-year break from the band, Reef are back
:24:42. > :24:50.working with George and new guitarist Jesse Wood, son of Ronnie.
:24:51. > :24:52.Why Reef? I am a fan, I still am. It is about chemistry with bands. It is
:24:53. > :24:55.amazing. # Put your hands on, put your hands
:24:56. > :25:12.on. Having a song which is so anthemic,
:25:13. > :25:17.can it be a blessing or curse? I cannot see the curse at all.
:25:18. > :25:22.Everything came together, it felt good. The drums were pushing a
:25:23. > :25:28.different way. You could singalong. There was everything but the kitchen
:25:29. > :25:35.sink on the record also! Maybe people get wound up about
:25:36. > :25:44.singing these songs, I don't. Genuinely, hand on heart, I love
:25:45. > :25:49.singing that song. That is so lovely. Such a big song
:25:50. > :25:54.with a sweet story behind it. Carrie, thank you for that. You are
:25:55. > :25:59.here to tell us how we can get involved in this year's virtual
:26:00. > :26:06.choir. We launched on Wednesday. We want everyone to join in. Last year
