21/02/2017 The One Show

Sorry! Hello and welcome to The One Show. The guest tonight is the hairy

hobbit who has become a household name despite his Cold Feet and

having a Jekyll and Hyde personality. I should be so lucky. I

should be so lucky in love. I should be so lucky. I should be so lucky in

love. Please welcome, Jimmy Nesbitt. MUSIC: Kylie Minogue - 'I Should Be

So Lucky'. The audience like you. Thanks for

coming back from your holidays for us. I had to leave the beaches of

Mexico to join you. Well worth the trip. We are happy you are here.

You're back with a brand-new series of Stan Lee's Lucky Man. How much do

you think luck has played within your career? Hugely. The very fact

that I am still working after leaving drama school 30 years ago

and that people are still employing me to do a job that I love and that

I am still challenge by. It means I am

incredibly lucky. Liam Neeson said he is still getting away with it and

that is how I feel. I am still loving learning about it. Is there a

key moment or person in your life? It starts with your parents and I

was very lucky. Incredibly lucky to be brought up. I had an idyllic

childhood, as my parents used to tell me! I think everything starts

with that and then I was in the right place at the right time. I had

a good work ethic. For all the enjoyment, that I embraced, the

perks of my job, I am lucky but I would be fairly hard-working. A

lifetime of preparation for a moment of opportunity. In Lucky Man, Jimmy

's character gets all his luck from a mystical object. We would like to

know what trinkets, charms and mascots you have got at home that

bring you luck. Get in touch with a photograph of you and your Lucky

town and tell us how it has brought to good fortune. We will show some

photographs later on. While most of us use the internet for social media

and shopping, there are still 2 million homes across the UK but that

access making the landline essential for many. It is frustrating to hear

that some suppliers seem hung up on hiking up their prices as Gloria

Hunniford has been discovering. Hello London. The reliable landline.

It has been around for more than 100 years. And today, some 25 million

households still have one, even even if it is an unused part of the TV

and broadband package. While times may have changed because of these,

for many elderly and disabled people, the landline remains a vital

lifeline for them at home. But it is a lifeline they could be paying way

over the odds for. Ofcom launched an investigation into the landline only

market last December. That is because the cost has gone down by a

quarter since 2010. The line rental charges have gone up and in some

cases by a whopping 41%. And there are fears that together with low

income families, it is the elderly and disabled who are losing out. I

have come to this day centre in Islington where the majority of its

members rely on their landline to keep in touch. Do you have a

favourite memory the -- menu that they prepare? You like all of it.

Most do not have access to the internet except for

when they come here. I would really love to know, how much you really

rely on your landline. The phone is my lifeline. I have got a mobile

phone, but the house phone is my lifeline. If my mobile phone was to

break, I am cut off. With my landline, I can use it. Have you

noticed that your bill has gone up recently? I pay it in one go. The

last one was ?99. The bills are getting too high. People are not

using their phone. Does the phone company ever get in touch with any

of you to ask how they can help? No. Do you feel you're being ripped off?

Yes. They should make it cheaper for older people, it should be a much

lower tariffs. We are constantly being bombarded with offers and

deals on broadband packages, but according to come, one in five of

the over 75 in the UK only want a landline in a home. Let's see how

some of the big companies stack up. The Post Office is the cheapest,

offering a reduced rate to new customers of 14 .99 a month although

this will return to 16.99 in April. Then there is Sky, at ?17 40 a

month. Top doc charge ?18 95. BT charge ?18 99 a month but they do

offer a special package for the elderly and disabled who meet

certain criteria. Virgin media are at the top end charging ?19 a month

but they have promised a price freeze for the over 65 and disabled

customers. James Taylor from a disability charity says it is not

just the elderly at risk of being ripped off. We know that life cost

more if you are disabled and 77% of disabled people rely on their

landlines to communicate. We know that a quarter of disabled people

cannot access the internet and when most of the best deals are available

exclusively online, that is a huge proportion of disabled people who

are missing out. We asked BT, virgin media, Sky, talk talk and the Post

Office for an interview about their pricing strategy, but all five

declined, however in a statement, they all stressed their commitment

to serving landline only customers and said they were fully cooperating

with the review by of Com. BT, Sky and virgin media promised a price

freeze on line rental and TalkTalk said despite them no longer offering

a landline only package did you customers, they welcomed the

investigation and encouraged Ofcom to explore measures such as price

caps to help customers get better value for money. In the meantime, if

you want to make sure you are getting the best deal for a

landline, we will hear some simple advice from our new experts. Review.

Look at your calls package and speak directly to your phone company to

see if you can get a better deal. And don't be afraid to keep shopping

around and speak to different providers. There are lots of

companies out there and many offer new customer discounts. The off,

review is expected to conclude soon but for these people, they are

hoping it will be the end of the line for those hiked up charges to

do with their telephone. And the telecoms watchdog are currently

investigating the rising cost of landlines and we are expecting an

announcement on fairer pricing sometime very soon. We will keep you

posted. Thank you to Gloria. You're saying you were on her show when you

were 13. I had just played the artful dodger and we went to appear

on live show. We had to sing there is no business like show business.

She is so great. Alongside George Best and Liam Neeson and Van

Morrison, she is an iconic figure in Northern Ireland and she is loved.

You have got a lot of love for her. She is magic. Let's talk about Lucky

Man. It is by Stanley who is known for superheroes like Spiderman, he

is 94. He is still at it. It was something, if you asked him what

superpower he wanted, it was luck, because that was the notion of how

you use it. In the first series, when Harry is suddenly presented

with this bracelet after meeting a mysterious woman called Eve, he is

given this bracelet to try and use it for good. Here's a cop who is

flawed, and addicted gambler, he has lost his wife and family, he walks a

very fine line in terms of his job at times, but he errors on the side

of right and I think the audience and Stan is interested in the notion

that those heroes that we love our flawed heroes and we recognise

ourselves in them. The first series was about him using the bracelet for

good, but the fact there is a yin and yang notion, everything that was

lucky that he use, something bad will happen to people he loved. We

did not know what we had and it turned into a huge hit. Stan

recognises the child in all of us and it never goes away. In the

second series we maintain all those elements of the high octane, the

stance and chases, the police stories, but what is particularly

exciting is at the beginning of it, Harry, who is trying to move away

from using the bracelet, is lured into a casino, which is his

nightmare place and he sees on the the list of the beautiful

seductress, Isabella, another bracelet -- on the rest of the

beautiful seductress. Order to get that? How does it feel? I can barely

remember the thrill, it has been so long. Who are you? Isabella. And you

are Harry Clayton. I thought you had stopped all of this. What on earth

could have dragged you back in? I am on a case. How did you get that

bracelet? Same as you, I imagine, although you do not seem to be

having as much fun as I am. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. . That is

running now. I think in the second series, we have fully embraced the

whole Stan Lee superhero notion. Who knew that a 52-year-old actor from

Northern Ireland would play a superhero? It is the most successful

series for Sky. I think it is ambitious. There has been such a

renaissance in the Marvel stories. We were thrilled with the ambition

of Sky and I love that actually there are not many shows of this

nature that have as many strong leading women, there are five

leading female characters and that is a testament to Stan Lee and a

testament to Sky and a testament to the company that makes it. You get

involved with the stance. We have a lovely scene of you driving a

speedboat. Other season one. What is annoying is that people think it is

CGI. That was real. That is the scale of the show and it was

terrifying. If you see fear on my face, I am not acting! With a show

like this, you get to film and drive a boat through the Thames at three

o'clock in the morning. London is such an important character in the

show. We really embrace that as well. The old and the new, we filmed

in the British Museum, Tower Bridge, we closed Canary Wharf... You

brought the bracelet tonight. I am wearing it. I like it! It does not

come off. They go. You can see Stan Lee's Lucky Man on Friday night at

nine o'clock. We are sticking with the luck thing, from horseshoes to

Heather, a recent survey suggest that nearly half of us believe in

the power of Lucky charms. Let us check with the audience. Hands up if

you believe. Well over half. It turns out that good fortune comes in

all shapes and sizes. My name is shone and my Lucky charm is my

penny. Before I found, I was an everyday working-class lad, I was

working for a bus company. I was working on my usual shift I went to

the shops to give something to eat and I found a penny outside this

newsagents. I picked it up and I thought, I will have a go on the

lottery tonight. I bought myself a few lucky dips and the usual numbers

and that is it really, I had butterflies all day after that. I

decided to check the numbers and on doing so, I got the three numbers

but I had won a tenner and then I saw the fourth number and then the

fifth number and I thought, that must be about it. It will be a good

weekend. Then I saw the bonus ball and I thought I have paid off my

mortgage. It was ?14 million shared by eight people and I was one of

them. It was ?1.8 million. Find a penny, pick it up, all day long you

have had good luck. I have kept it ever since, but I might throw it

into the fountain and that someone else have some luck. My name is

Sarah and my lucky charm is my dog, Aldi. I used to be a teacher and I

lost my dad, very suddenly. My life started to fall apart and I could

not do my job any more. I couldn't really leave the house. It was then

that my husband decided to get me the dog and we got him on the

promise that I would walk him, go to puppy classes and I would have done

anything for a dog at that point. I began doing artwork and it led to

me thinking about doing some cockerpoo -based artwork and it

grew. I was invited to a charity event and the joke was made about

having a container shop. I believe that since having him, it is almost

like he has been sent by my dad to make that day dream a reality. He

brings good fortune to our lives. He means the world to me. I am Donna. I

am Stephen. Our lucky charm is a piece of Maurice Edu's shirt. In

1984I went to see the Smiths and when we were there, Maurice --

Morrissey threw off his shirt. Later I met Stephen and said I have

something you will be interested in. Inside the book was the rest of the

shirt I have this small piece of. My piece of shirt I sacrificed to have

made into a handbag for Donna's birthday. It is encased in her

handbag man. I carry my piece of shirt all the time. It has got me

through everything. It has been on my children's exams. It has been a

big part of our lives to such a small, grubby piece of shirt! I met

Donna and have benefited the best you could imagine. APPLAUSE

A special story. Jimmy, one of your lucky breaks was Cold Feet and you

have been filming series seven. We starts next Monday. There was a

break of 13 years. Was it a big decision to go back? It was. They

wanted to remake it a lot. It was such a success and we were lucky

from it. It opened doors for other things and we wanted to move away

from it and not let it fester. After 13 years they came back with a good

script and I read it and it was lovely to see the characters. We

were petrified. It went well and we were delighted with the response.

Even people coming to it for the first time. I thought everybody had

seen it, the arrogance! People responded. We meet up again next

week. Back in my home town of Manchester. I look forward to that.

Invite him round. Here on the One Show we always

try to avoid obvious stereotypes when it comes to matching films

to our guests. But tonight we've clearly

failed because we've got It's easily the most

popular stout in the world, with 1.8 billion pints

sold every year. But it's an age-old recipe that's

not to be messed with, When you buy a premium brand, you

are not just purchasing a product, but buying into what it stands for.

If you create the right brand you have an incredibly powerful tool for

selling to you, me and the consumer. But the story of beer brewed in

Dublin for over 200 years shows that you mess with a long established

branded is at your peril. From his earliest adverts extending its

supposed health giving properties, to the memorable multi-million pound

arthouse surfing adverts of the 90s, Guinness has long been associated

with manly strength. But in 1979 behind these famous gates, the

company created a new stout that almost he railed their place in the

hearts and minds of beer lovers. Its name was Guinness Light. With half a

per cent less alcohol and 20 calories less than a pint of

Guinness it was aimed at a more body conscious generation for whom a pint

of the black stuff was what their dad drank. David was part of the

team that marketed the new beer. In 1979 the market was changing

dramatically and you had stout which was 70% of the overall market,

dropping 20%, and ales and lagers grew dramatically. Rather than

continue to lose share they said they would launch a new start and

came up with Guinness Light, aimed at younger people, predominantly

female, and a mixture between a stout and ale. The product was

unveiled on the 26th of June 1979 and propels the Guinness brand into

the future. Irish business journalist Martin Fitzpatrick was

among the press pack invited to the launch of the beer. What are your

memories of launched a? It was space age, what seemed like space age

technology. The fascinating thing worth the -- were the model is

trying to maintain decorum and dignity as they emerged from

spaceships. Carrying pipes of this new concoction. The marketing budget

was also out of this world and Guinness poured out an estimated

quarter of a million Irish pounds, a colossal amount at the time. But

trouble is brewing. Guinness Light came crashing to earth with a bump.

Veteran Dublin publican Tom saw how the new beer was going down. After a

week we did not get any feedback. I heard in the whole of Ireland it did

250 kegs per week. An early sign of disaster? Yes. At that time regular

Guinness sold around 100 million pipes every year in Ireland but

Guinness Light failed to meet even 1% of that. Within ten months of its

launch, last orders were called on Guinness Light, and despite the

market research, Ireland's biggest brewer had spit tactically misjudged

public taste. -- spectacularly misjudged. The One Show commissioned

a specialist to brew a version based on the same calorific and alcohol

content is Guinness Light. What do you think? That is nice. I remember

it well. Why did it not work out? I think the name Guinness Light was an

oxymoron. You had a traditional masculine Irish Stout and we are

calling it Guinness Light aimed at a female market. The psychology of

going to order a pint of Guinness Light I think was not explored

enough. It underlines the issue. If you imbue a brand with

characteristics and play with it, you play with it at your peril.

Absolutely right. Cheers. Slainte. What a great film. Jimmy, do you

want to try it? We have a bottle. Of that I did not know. What happened?

Goodness me. We will have to calm this down. Specially brewed for us.

1979. Do you want some? Yes. Thanks. Honest opinion. Cheers. Does it

taste like Guinness? There is a suggestion of Guinness. LAUGHTER.

It does not mean I am not going to drink it. Enjoy it. It is a bit like

soil. Now, it's hard to beat

the hype around the return but Mike Dilger's found a comeback

that's got nature lovers in a bit You are not enjoyed my? Some rather

large predators have been breeding again in Britain, with the hope that

the first time in 600 years we will see them flying back in British

skies. This is no ordinary pile of sticks, it is a white stork nest and

home to the first generation of wild chicks that will hopefully be

released back into the countryside. Historically these graceful birds

flourished in Britain, but in the 15th century their numbers

plummeted, mainly due to persecution and loss of natural habitat. These

days white storks are found in mainland Europe, but the closest

breeding colonies are northern France of the Netherlands. Bob

Potterton from Shorelands Wildlife Gardens has rescued injured white

storks in the hope of reviving them as a native species. Where did these

birds come from? From a rehabilitation centre in Poland, and

flew into power lines, cars or trees. They could not be returned to

the wild so we offered the Polish authorities the opportunity to send

them here. What is their future? The hope was they would breed and one

pair has started to breed and hopefully more will breed and the

baby birds can be released. To avoid predation stalks normally build

their nests off the ground. -- storks. This pair has built a nest

on the woodland floor which has enabled then and the team to

regularly check the chicks. Normally there are three. There were three

and two has issued overnight and have gone to the vet, they are

checked every day. We weigh and measure them. We are going to check

the bird to ensure it has strong, healthy wings. Lovely. New feathers

coming through. A lot of down. Nice, strong beak. If I were a betting man

I would say it is a female because it has a short beak. We will weigh

it at the end of the week but a good healthy bird. Then has bred storks

released in mainland Europe but to help prepare this brewed for release

to the UK he has changed their feeding from pellets to the food

they would eat in the wild. We looked at how we could adapt the

diet and they start to eat insects, meat, a bit of carrier and possibly,

so that when they leave here they have the best art. It is a wild

bird. I would be worried normally being so close. It is not an issue

because they are different to other birds. Colleagues in continent

reared the birds in France and they are hands-on and there are no issues

with imprinting on those birds. In a few weeks they will be old enough to

enjoy the others in the paddock. They will come into contact not just

with the injured storks. A couple have green rings above their knees.

They are important. We have captive bred birds. This makes them

steadier. These birds can fly and we want them so that it is known they

have come from here. The flock will also have another important purpose.

We want to use them to encourage continental birds to stay. We want

to attract birds from France and the Netherlands but, the river valley.

We want them to look down and see the birds and join them, which might

teach these birds a migration routes. Several weeks after I

visited, all three chicks are fit and well and starting to take their

first flights. With projects like Ben's continuing to be successful,

it is an exciting thought the birds could be part of our natural

heritage and once more take to the skies of Britain. Thanks to Mike and

his friends in Norfolk. Earlier we asked for your lucky charms. And to

send in pictures. This is from Philip's granddaughter Martha.

Holding something that has been kept safe on his dashboard for 25 years.

This lucky stick is carried in her handbag, made by her daughter 20

years ago. And this person has always kept a shoe from her three

children when they were babies. And John's lucky Rubiks cube. Do you

have a lucky charm? I have now. You can see the new series

of Stan Lee's Lucky Man on Friday I want to control the situation,

show them they can trust you.
