:01:22. > :01:27.APPLAUSE Brilliant. You couldn't have picked
:01:27. > :01:32.a better night, let's be honest. This is amazing. What do you think
:01:32. > :01:36.of our lovely contestants? It's like being in a large gentleman's
:01:36. > :01:41.outfitters. It's very jolly. They look gorgeous all of them. As far
:01:41. > :01:46.as contestants go, have you given any strange awards out? I've never
:01:46. > :01:51.done a beauty competition. But I did give one for best aluminium
:01:51. > :01:55.windows and a Grade II listed building. Glamorous. Can you quiz
:01:56. > :02:01.any of these men later on. The same for you. Thank you very much. So
:02:01. > :02:06.exciting! Now I tell you what, do you have a potential Mr World
:02:06. > :02:10.sitting in your lounge right now? If so, get them to pose, take a
:02:10. > :02:14.picture and send it in to us. don't even have to get out of the
:02:14. > :02:18.chair. Age is unimportant, size is unimportant, to be frank, looks,
:02:18. > :02:25.well they're by the by. We are looking for that something that
:02:25. > :02:29.says I am a winner! OK? Get them to us and we'll judge some of the One
:02:29. > :02:35.Show viewers later on. As well as Mr Worlds another good looking
:02:35. > :02:45.exotic guest with us, no not Gyles. We'll meet Harold the Vulture very
:02:45. > :02:49.
:02:49. > :02:54.soon. There he is. No that's Gyles! Great. That was a bit slower than
:02:54. > :02:57.we thought there. Didn't quite work. How do you follow that? After we
:02:57. > :03:01.talked about tree diseases yesterday, we could do with some
:03:02. > :03:05.good tree news. There say community in the UK who want to turn a former
:03:05. > :03:09.quarry into a wildlife haven by planting hundreds of new trees.
:03:09. > :03:16.When they asked for our help, there was only one thing to do, send in
:03:16. > :03:20.the Dilger. I've in Gresford just outside
:03:20. > :03:25.Wrexham to find out about a community conservation project.
:03:25. > :03:30.They've asked The One Show for some much needed help. It was Sue Kelley
:03:30. > :03:35.from the action group who first contacted us. What a lovely view.
:03:35. > :03:39.Isn't it amazing? It's fantastic. What did this placed used to be?
:03:39. > :03:42.sand and gravel quarry. They used the sand and gravel from it to
:03:42. > :03:46.build airports during the war. did you come to own this? We used
:03:46. > :03:52.to walk our dogs in here when it was private land. One day somebody
:03:52. > :03:56.heard that the land was to be sold. I found the name of the and -- land
:03:56. > :04:01.agent and I asked if the community could buy it. The landscape was
:04:01. > :04:07.transformed in the 1980s by the planting of 28,000 Corsican pine
:04:07. > :04:12.trees. But these are a real problem. Their dense needle covered branches
:04:12. > :04:16.means very little sunlight hits the forest floor. When the needles
:04:16. > :04:19.finally drop they create the worst possible growing conditions for our
:04:19. > :04:24.native woodland flowers. They're about the worst possible habitat
:04:24. > :04:28.for our native birds, insects and mammals that we want to encourage.
:04:28. > :04:33.This is something that the group are desperate to address and why
:04:33. > :04:37.they need our help. Trevor, you're surrounded by tree stumps. What's
:04:37. > :04:42.going on? We have thousands of pines here. We've taken out about a
:04:42. > :04:46.quarter of them. We're keen to open up some space and create green
:04:46. > :04:54.areas for natural wildlife. keen to help out. I have broad
:04:54. > :04:59.shoulders. Shall we get to it? Let's go. All the trees we've got,
:04:59. > :05:03.420 of them, are bare rooted. We need to get them into the ground as
:05:03. > :05:08.quickly as we can or the roots will dry out and they'll die. First one
:05:08. > :05:12.in. Brilliant. I am worried, though. You have a lot of saplings and not
:05:12. > :05:17.much time to do it. You need a green army. We do. Want some help?
:05:17. > :05:22.Yes please. Leave it with me. I'm going to need many hands to plant
:05:22. > :05:26.420 saplings. Our children would love to volunteer. They're great
:05:27. > :05:31.gardeners. We have a lot of tools. We've been given trees as part of
:05:31. > :05:36.our grow with me project, could we bring those as well? More than
:05:36. > :05:40.happy to plant some saplings and clear the area as well. Of course,
:05:40. > :05:45.I can come and feed and water the troops and tree planters. An army
:05:45. > :05:52.marches on its stuck am -- stomach, no problem. I've heard about a
:05:52. > :05:55.local naturalist I'm keen to rope in. I recognise some of these moths,
:05:55. > :05:59.elephant hawk, buff tip. There are a lot of trees to plant and not
:05:59. > :06:05.many hands. Are you able to give us a hand putting a few native trees
:06:05. > :06:08.in? I would love to yes. I'll be there on the day. Think of the
:06:08. > :06:13.insects. I'll help them as much as I can.
:06:13. > :06:18.What a good man. Unfortunately Mike couldn't make it back up to
:06:18. > :06:23.Gresford today. We've sent a perfect replacement, a shrub-
:06:23. > :06:27.stitute, you could say. Great. Have you managed to get the trees
:06:27. > :06:31.planted and have the people come to help you?
:06:31. > :06:36.Yes. Welcome to Gresford. There's lots of people here. Lots of hard
:06:36. > :06:40.work has been going on. In fact, swept along on a wave of enthusiasm
:06:40. > :06:44.created by Mike Dilger. The people of Gresford have done themselves
:06:44. > :06:48.proud today. It all started about 9.30am this morning. This whole
:06:48. > :06:51.plot at the front had to be cleared of brambles and thorns. That was
:06:51. > :06:55.really hard work. All that had to be done before any trees could be
:06:55. > :06:59.plantsed. So while that was going on, on the top site people were
:06:59. > :07:03.really getting into it. They were really planting those trees. We had
:07:04. > :07:08.children as young as three planting their first tree on the top plot.
:07:08. > :07:12.It's been a massive community effort. It's been amazing,
:07:12. > :07:17.absolutely amazing. Now, it is fair to say that there are still a few
:07:17. > :07:19.trees to be planted. Trevor and Sue are working away there. We have so
:07:19. > :07:23.many volunteers here again this evening. Give us a little cheer.
:07:23. > :07:26.CHEERING They must be getting really tired,
:07:26. > :07:36.but they're still here. It means so much to them. We also have
:07:36. > :07:38.something very special coming up. Simon O' rourke is making a special
:07:38. > :07:43.commemorative statue. He's spent two days making this. We will
:07:43. > :07:47.reveal that later on. See you then. Thank you Lucy. Now that is a
:07:47. > :07:50.wonderful sight for you, because you are an ambassador of the
:07:50. > :07:55.Woodland Trust. Yes and I'm passionate about woodland. You know
:07:56. > :07:59.what I love, if you plant a tree you are looking at not even the
:07:59. > :08:09.generation next, but the one after that and after Tha'it will enjoy.
:08:09. > :08:10.
:08:10. > :08:15.-- That will enjoy it. The thought is it originally came from Denmark.
:08:15. > :08:19.I didn't bring it with me! course. The Danes have been on this
:08:19. > :08:24.for about ten years now. It's a relatively new thing and there is
:08:24. > :08:30.very good research. Some trees are resistant to this disease. There is
:08:30. > :08:39.some good news, I think. Some good news is that shock, horror, you
:08:39. > :08:43.have a DVD out for Christmas. horror. Why? It's made of wood.
:08:43. > :08:49.What's the Tour of Duty all about? It's always uncomfortable to
:08:49. > :08:53.promote yourself on TV shows to say I'm really funny. It's for others
:08:53. > :08:58.to say. No-one says it. So I've got to come on. It's a tour I did at
:08:58. > :09:03.the beginning of the year. The Hammersmith Apollo is the last show
:09:03. > :09:08.and the best show. I was there and it was very good. Was it? Thank you.
:09:08. > :09:12.I threw everything and the kitchen sink. The bongo bit is brilliant
:09:12. > :09:17.and the accents that you do as well. It's a dream for you tonight to be
:09:17. > :09:21.with these lads. I know! I'll be chatting. As soon as somebody
:09:21. > :09:25.throws something out from the audience, straight away you're in
:09:25. > :09:35.their accents. My children pointed this out the other day. I went to
:09:35. > :09:40.
:09:40. > :09:44.Marseille. I say Marseille (in a French accent) and I came back via
:09:44. > :09:54.par-eee. In Italian restaurants I don't like the shells and prawns.
:09:54. > :09:55.
:09:55. > :10:01.But if you say... HE SPEAKS ITALIAN Have you got a favourite accent?
:10:01. > :10:06.like to do the Nigerian accent. It is a particular favourite. We have
:10:06. > :10:11.a load of contestants. They're nod ago long. They're loving it. --
:10:11. > :10:17.nodding along. They're loving it. They're very good looking. Very
:10:17. > :10:21.handsome. Let's look at 30 seconds of the DVD.
:10:21. > :10:27.I came across this quote that says "Great niends talk about ideas.
:10:27. > :10:32.Average minds talk about events and small minds only talk about other
:10:32. > :10:39.people." Yeah. Really got me thinking. I thought, do you know
:10:39. > :10:49.what, doesn't Ed Miliband look like Wallace from Wallace and Gromit.?
:10:49. > :10:54.APPLAUSE The men love it. They like it.
:10:54. > :10:58.They're getting rowdy now. obviously pick up on different
:10:58. > :11:02.senses of humour, what do you think are the main difference between the
:11:02. > :11:07.British and Iranian sense of humour? You picked up a lot from
:11:07. > :11:10.your dad. Yes my dad was very funny. Iran ian sense of humour, people
:11:10. > :11:14.think they don't have a sense of humour because of the images you
:11:14. > :11:20.see. In Britain, if you don't like a comedian, you heckle them. In
:11:20. > :11:24.Iran, they hang them. Which is very hard when you're just starting out.
:11:24. > :11:28.It's a difficult one to negotiate. Tough training. People think they
:11:28. > :11:33.don't have a sense of humour. Iranians are very flamboyant and
:11:33. > :11:38.love telling jokes. That's a big thing, telling jokes an singing a
:11:38. > :11:42.song. What about the Danes? Isn't it funny because we produced
:11:42. > :11:47.fantastic comedy that has exported. The last one was the Killing.
:11:47. > :11:51.People took it very seriously. I thought the sweater alone, I
:11:51. > :11:55.thought were entertaining in themselves. So, yeah, I think the
:11:55. > :12:00.Danes have a tremendous - in fact my career started in Denmark when I
:12:00. > :12:05.was very early on, my father told me a story. In the Second World War
:12:05. > :12:09.there was a comic, we were occupied, he came to the stage and went like
:12:09. > :12:14.this. All the SS officers went like that. He waited for them to sit
:12:14. > :12:22.down. He went "Do you know last winter the snow was this high
:12:22. > :12:27.outside my house." I love that. omid's DVD is out now. In the news
:12:28. > :12:34.this week is the retired submarine captain Nick Crews who wrote to his
:12:34. > :12:38.children to say how ashamed he was of them. He said. "It's Obvious
:12:38. > :12:42.that none of you has the faintest notion of the bitter disappointment
:12:42. > :12:45.you have dished out to us. We've had enough of being forced to live
:12:45. > :12:49.through the never ending bad dream of our children's underachievement
:12:49. > :12:55.and domestic inept tueds. I want to hear no more from any of you until
:12:55. > :12:58.you have a success or an achievement." Pretty harsh. You've
:12:58. > :13:02.read the e-mail in full, what do you make of all this? Do you think
:13:02. > :13:07.he was right? It's a shocking thing. I have three children and I would
:13:07. > :13:12.never write such a thing. He's a submarine captain. It makes him
:13:12. > :13:16.sound like captain von trap. He needs to marry a nice nun and calm
:13:16. > :13:20.himself down. It's very harsh. agree. I have children too. If I
:13:20. > :13:26.can speak seriously for a second. I believe in constructive criticism,
:13:26. > :13:30.but I think the children are very delicate. They're like flowers. If
:13:30. > :13:33.you speak harshly to a child, it's like crushing a flower. I would
:13:33. > :13:39.never write a letter or e-mail to criticise my children because...
:13:39. > :13:42.They can't read, which is one thing. I'm joking. That's silly. But I'm
:13:42. > :13:46.saying that children are very delicate people. In general, not
:13:46. > :13:51.just children, human beings, we think we can be harsh with each
:13:51. > :13:56.other, but a bit of encouragement goes a long way. The word
:13:56. > :14:01."disappointment" is terrible. like he bottled it up. Maybe a
:14:01. > :14:05.little chat earlier on in the years would have been helpful. When the
:14:05. > :14:11.child become as dult, where do you draw the line. All our children are
:14:11. > :14:14.going to be in therapy one day talking about us. To see if a
:14:14. > :14:17.parent's pride should have any limits Carrie Grant hit the streets
:14:17. > :14:21.of Birmingham. As parents, we all have
:14:21. > :14:31.expectations of our children. But they do sometimes disappoint us.
:14:31. > :14:31.
:14:31. > :14:37.Have there been a tireless way you have felt proud of your daughter?
:14:37. > :14:41.She recently got a first in her law degree, and she is now a trainee
:14:41. > :14:45.solicitor a here in Birmingham. about for you? Have your parents
:14:45. > :14:50.let you know they are proud of you? I joined the police, they are proud
:14:50. > :14:54.of that. Have they been times when they have said, we are
:14:54. > :14:59.disappointed? Yes, when I left university, they were a bit
:14:59. > :15:05.disappointed, because I was the first person to go. Had there is a
:15:05. > :15:10.mother of two, shopping with her daughter, Helen. -- Heather. Have
:15:10. > :15:16.there been times when you have felt disappointment? No, she has been to
:15:16. > :15:21.three Olympics, so I cannot be disappointed. I was an Olympic
:15:21. > :15:25.swimmer. You must have felt times when you were losing. That is when
:15:25. > :15:33.my mum would have shown their disappointment, she was frustrated
:15:33. > :15:39.for me. Chair is a mother of two knows that parenthood is not plain
:15:39. > :15:44.sailing. My son was on drugs, but now he is trying to reform himself,
:15:44. > :15:50.which he went through a period when he was very aggressive. DCA time
:15:50. > :15:58.when you could sit back and think, I am really proud of him? -- do you
:15:58. > :16:04.see? I think he will come through and prosper in the years to come.
:16:04. > :16:09.Stephen and Jocelyn on holiday from the USA. Even at this age, do they
:16:09. > :16:13.sometimes disappoint you? The answer is not writing a letter, no.
:16:13. > :16:18.You can very easily crush the spirit of a child, and it is
:16:18. > :16:21.important you do not go overboard. Children make mistakes, sometimes
:16:21. > :16:27.they wilfully do what they want, and so we have to correct that
:16:27. > :16:33.lovingly. Today I have heard a lot about parental pride, and
:16:33. > :16:39.inevitably I have also heard about his appointment. But what we tell
:16:39. > :16:46.our children in an e-mail? No! I would!
:16:46. > :16:53.What an ending, goodness me! A When We Are you sure that your parents
:16:53. > :16:57.were proud of you? What about your son? I got nominated for an award
:16:57. > :17:01.at the Edinburgh Festival, I had an extra show, and my father came to
:17:01. > :17:07.watch me for the first time, and he was writing notes. He's quite a
:17:07. > :17:14.funny guy, but he showed me the notes, and there were two figures,
:17:14. > :17:20.gross and net. He just looked at me and went, cash! And then I knew
:17:20. > :17:24.that he loved me! That was the moment I knew. Sandi? My parents
:17:24. > :17:29.have always said how proud they are of me, but neither of them were
:17:29. > :17:34.able to go to university because of the war, and when I told my father
:17:34. > :17:40.I had got into university, he burst into tears. What a moment. That was
:17:40. > :17:44.very special, and then when I graduated as well. At the end of
:17:44. > :17:50.the day, we just want to make our parents proud. I still ring my mum
:17:50. > :17:56.and say, I hope you are pleased. do exactly the same. Has anyone
:17:56. > :18:01.seen Alex? Where has she gone? is here in her element with all the
:18:01. > :18:07.Mr Worlds, this is the best night ever on the One Show, by the way!
:18:07. > :18:15.This is the current Mr World, you have a very Irish name. Born and
:18:15. > :18:19.bred in Limerick. There is room for two of us here. When you are around
:18:19. > :18:24.Mr World with your sash and tiara and all the rest of it, there must
:18:24. > :18:27.be other duties that you have to undertake? Quite a few, the list is
:18:28. > :18:33.long and varied, everything from public speaking to humanitarian
:18:33. > :18:37.work, but it is a tough competition, with 48 of the world's most
:18:37. > :18:42.desirable men, all fighting for my throne, but they go through quite a
:18:43. > :18:49.lot of training, talent, sport, extreme thickness, high-intensity
:18:49. > :18:55.assault course. Really? Yes, it is boot camp for these guys. Not for
:18:55. > :19:01.the faint-hearted. I used single? Not that I am asking! I am single,
:19:01. > :19:06.what are you doing Saturday night? I would get into trouble! Invite
:19:06. > :19:15.your friends, because the final is on this Saturday. Do you tell girls
:19:15. > :19:20.that you are Mr world. I do not. Probably best! Sandi and Omid
:19:20. > :19:24.cannot wait to get their paws on the contestants.
:19:24. > :19:29.With pageants like this, interviews take place, and the first thing you
:19:29. > :19:35.said, Mr Canada is my kind of guy! Who knew that I would find the man
:19:35. > :19:40.of my dreams on the One Show?! Frank is 20, from Vancouver, he
:19:40. > :19:44.wants to become a speech at development coach, he enjoys baking
:19:44. > :19:50.and singing. Sandi has got a question. Is this what you dreamt
:19:50. > :19:54.of as a boy? Did I dream of being in a pageant? No, I wanted to be a
:19:54. > :19:58.singer and an actor, but being here allows me to pursue all those
:19:58. > :20:03.dreams, and being shorter than my competitors, it sends a message to
:20:03. > :20:13.the world. Are you doing a bit way you have to go through the mud? How
:20:13. > :20:16.
:20:16. > :20:20.high is it, that is my concern! muddle was high, but I did it!
:20:20. > :20:24.Omid, who do you want to chat with? I would like to ask Mr England,
:20:24. > :20:29.because we can speak English, and there's no question about
:20:29. > :20:33.understanding, I would really like to know, why are you doing this?!
:20:33. > :20:38.kind of fell into it, and it has been a great laugh, I have met some
:20:38. > :20:43.great guys, we have really gelled, and it is a good experience. I am
:20:43. > :20:53.using it to promote myself and my music and enjoyed the journey.
:20:53. > :20:53.
:20:53. > :20:57.There must be an easier way to meet Mr Belgium, your shoes are
:20:57. > :21:03.fantastic! His ambition is to work in fashion and travel the world.
:21:03. > :21:08.His motto is, chances are there to be taken. Have you got a question?

:22:39. > :22:45.1930s Britain, home ownership increased spectacularly. New homes
:22:45. > :22:51.meant a need for new furniture, and the industry was booming. These
:22:51. > :22:57.items were strong, heavy, greedy on materials. They will often boxes in
:22:57. > :23:02.style, and they reflected the Art Deco style of the period. But in
:23:02. > :23:12.1939, Britain was importing 96% of its timber. That was about to
:23:12. > :23:17.
:23:17. > :23:22.I have to tell you now this country Almost immediately after war broke
:23:22. > :23:25.out, a control of timber order was put in place, and by July 1940
:23:25. > :23:30.supplies of imported timber to the furniture industry were withdrawn
:23:30. > :23:35.completely. The problem was compounded when, in 1940, the Blitz
:23:35. > :23:41.destroyed millions of houses. Suddenly, there was an urgent need
:23:41. > :23:47.for new homes and for new furniture to make those homes habitable. In
:23:47. > :23:51.its there was the utility furniture scheme. This is a catalogue. There
:23:51. > :23:56.was no furniture around for people to have on display in shop windows.
:23:56. > :24:00.They look in here, and then they filled out an application form to
:24:00. > :24:04.get their units. And this would prove that they were in desperate
:24:04. > :24:09.need, and the Government would issue them with a maximum of 60
:24:09. > :24:14.units. He could only use these within a 50 mile radius of where
:24:14. > :24:20.the home was going to be. One unit would allow you to buy one chair,
:24:20. > :24:25.and it would cost you about �1.10 shillings. All other furniture
:24:25. > :24:28.production ceased, nobody was making anything apart from these 22
:24:28. > :24:32.designs that were chosen by the government, and they were designed
:24:32. > :24:38.specially so that they were easy to make, because not many people were
:24:38. > :24:43.available for making furniture. Each piece is marked with this mark,
:24:43. > :24:49.it stands for civilian clothing, in fact, which was the first area of
:24:49. > :24:54.rationing for domestic goods. The 41 was for 1941. These figures were
:24:54. > :25:00.designed to look unrecognisable, and people knew them affectionately
:25:00. > :25:03.as the cheeses. Who got the Russian? People who had been bombed,
:25:03. > :25:09.who had growing families, and people who were setting up home for

:25:14. > :25:18.was Julie's mother and father. father was in the Navy, my mother
:25:18. > :25:24.was in the Wrens. They got married and set up home, and this was their
:25:24. > :25:29.furniture. My sister and I used to do our homework at it, and we had
:25:29. > :25:36.something to put on top to stop it getting ink on it. How long has it
:25:36. > :25:42.been in the garden? 15 or 20 years! Good grief, that is sturdy stuff!
:25:42. > :25:47.It is what it says it is, utility. I noticed there was a mark. Oh, yes,
:25:47. > :25:52.there it is. The real thing, or definite! I did not know that was
:25:52. > :25:56.there. In service with one family for over 60 years. The furniture
:25:56. > :26:02.may have been simple but it was built to last. Furniture rationing
:26:02. > :26:07.itself finished in 1948, but the logo had become so synonymous with
:26:07. > :26:14.quality that the scheme continued until 1952. Furniture like this
:26:14. > :26:20.continued to graze British homes for decades. -- Grace.
:26:20. > :26:25.Good quality furniture there! You like good quality furniture, Sandi.
:26:25. > :26:29.I do, and I like woodworking enormously. Anna Ford and I signed
:26:29. > :26:34.up for woodworking lessons in Richmond in Surrey, and we were
:26:34. > :26:37.very excited, and we cleared every Tuesday for an entire term, and
:26:37. > :26:41.then they phoned up saying that they had cancelled the lessons.
:26:41. > :26:46.Why? I think we were the only two people who thought it was a good
:26:46. > :26:49.idea. We had signed up under pseudonyms, I do not know if they
:26:49. > :26:55.would have been surprised if we turned up together. If I am the
:26:55. > :26:59.same, I can spend hours watching my dad at the lathe, I love it! It is
:26:59. > :27:04.a lovely thing, I live on a boat, and we cannot find a desk that
:27:04. > :27:14.fitted because it is close quarters, as Omid and I know, so I made my
:27:14. > :27:15.
:27:15. > :27:20.own desk. And there it is! Omid, how is your woodworking? I mean...
:27:20. > :27:25.About 12 years ago, I got one of those IKEA flat-packs for my
:27:25. > :27:32.children, a bunk bed, and I thought it would be easy to put my kids up
:27:32. > :27:41.for adoption, much quicker and easier. I never did it. Call me.
:27:41. > :27:44.just could not do it, impossible. Leave that with me. Sandi, new book,
:27:44. > :27:49.you are incredibly interested in history anyway, Heroines And
:27:49. > :27:53.Harridans. Yes, it is a strange collection of women by of history
:27:53. > :27:58.that have been forgotten. I have got a friend who is the most
:27:58. > :28:01.fabulous illustrator. Peter oh pictures. Sandra Nightingale has
:28:01. > :28:06.done the pictures. I mostly right things because she does these
:28:06. > :28:11.wonderful drawings. They are silly and funny, hopefully, but some
:28:11. > :28:17.astonishing people. Queen Vishpala, the picture you showed there, was
:28:17. > :28:22.an astonishing woman, a queen about 3,500 BC in India, leading her
:28:22. > :28:28.troops into battle when she had her leg amputated. She had an iron leg
:28:28. > :28:31.fitted, the first person in history with a prosthetic limb. And she
:28:31. > :28:37.went back into battle! What a fantastic woman. We should know
:28:37. > :28:43.about her. Lots of fabulous women like that, some of whom have been
:28:43. > :28:48.entirely neglected, I think, and we need to remember them. We... We
:28:48. > :28:56.know that you like history, who would you choose from history?
:28:56. > :29:02.is a good question. I did play Mussolini, which was very exciting.
:29:02. > :29:06.Actually, no, I played young Picasso in a film with Andy Garcia.
:29:06. > :29:12.I was supposed to lose weight, but they did not give me much time. At
:29:12. > :29:17.the Cannes Film Festival, they did ask, why is Picasso with a little
:29:17. > :29:20.bit overweight? I had to say, well, it was not known that between the
:29:20. > :29:26.rows period and the blue periods there was the crispy bacon with
:29:26. > :29:35.extra cheese period. You see me painting with doughnuts! It is at
:29:35. > :29:39.there, that was a really great More accents still to come. We are
:29:39. > :29:43.about to be joined by a brave woman who decided to beat breast cancer
:29:43. > :29:48.by making a difficult sacrifice. She's called Wendy Watson and Wendy
:29:48. > :29:53.Robbins has been to meet her. My name is Wendy Watson and 20
:29:53. > :29:59.years ago I made the decision to have a voluntary double mastectomy
:29:59. > :30:01.despite being perfectly healthy at the time.
:30:01. > :30:06.In 1992 Wendy Watson became the first woman in Britain to choose to
:30:06. > :30:13.have both healthy breasts removed. She had battled for years for the
:30:13. > :30:18.right to do so. What made you take such a radical decision? My mum and
:30:19. > :30:22.my grandma both had breast cancer. I was convince it was hereditary. I
:30:22. > :30:27.couldn't get a GP to agree. The GP dismissed my fears and said the
:30:27. > :30:31.chance of me getting it virtually didn't exist because breast cancer
:30:31. > :30:36.was not hereditary. I discovered I had nine relatives with the disease.
:30:36. > :30:39.So that could not possibly be by chance. Breast cancer had killed so
:30:40. > :30:45.many of her relatives that Wendy was convinced she was next and
:30:45. > :30:48.needed to take action. But back then in the early 90s it was I
:30:48. > :30:51.thinkable that you would have healthy breasts removed to stop you
:30:51. > :30:54.getting the disease. How did you view your breasts up until then,
:30:54. > :30:58.what did they represent for you? think I never actually enjoyed my
:30:58. > :31:03.breasts. They were quite a nice shape, I believe. But I didn't like
:31:03. > :31:09.them because they represented terror to me. Like ticking time
:31:09. > :31:13.bombs. They represented to me the cause of my mother's death. Wendy
:31:13. > :31:19.was struggling to persuade the medical profession to remove her
:31:19. > :31:22.breasts. Finally, she was referred to Professor Gareth Evans who was
:31:23. > :31:26.conducted research to prove a link between certain genes and
:31:26. > :31:31.hereditary breast cancer. She was the first woman I had ever met who
:31:31. > :31:36.came straight out and said, "I want you to say I can have my breast
:31:36. > :31:41.tissue removed." It was a very reasoned decision that she had made.
:31:41. > :31:44.I said if it's so important to catch it early, why don't I have
:31:44. > :31:48.the blinking operation now and then I know I've caught it in time
:31:48. > :31:52.because it's about the spread. Mat jort of the medical profession
:31:52. > :31:56.thought I'd gone completely crackers. But she convinced
:31:56. > :32:03.Professor Evans and went on to have the pioneering surgery that removed
:32:03. > :32:08.both healthy breasts. Lots of surgeons, particularly in the early
:32:08. > :32:13.1990s, felt it was barbaric and completely wrong that any woman
:32:14. > :32:17.should choose to do it. In the early 90s there was no published
:32:17. > :32:23.evidence that preventive mastectomy worked. That didn't happen until
:32:23. > :32:28.1998. Now there is irrefutible evidence that it works. Wendy's
:32:28. > :32:33.risk paid off. Two-and-a-half years after her surgery, the genes linked
:32:33. > :32:36.to breast cancer were discovered. She had been right all along. As a
:32:36. > :32:41.carrier of the genetic mutation her risk of developing the disease
:32:41. > :32:45.could have been up to 80%. families carry the faulty gene,
:32:45. > :32:49.they carry it and there is a lot of breast cancer in those families.
:32:49. > :32:54.They are at the top of the risk scale. Surgery to remove the breast
:32:54. > :32:57.tissue is the most effective way of reducing that risk. If you are
:32:57. > :33:01.someone who carries those genes in your family, you don't necessarily
:33:01. > :33:08.have to opt for surgery. No, no-one has to have surgery. Taize personal
:33:08. > :33:13.choice. In fact, with MRI screening, we would hope to cure more than 80%
:33:13. > :33:17.of women in the screen prog Graeme, if they get breast cancer -- in the
:33:17. > :33:22.screening programme, if they get breast cancer. About one in 400 of
:33:22. > :33:26.us have the affected genes. When Wendy's kaurt Becki was just 24,
:33:26. > :33:29.she discovered she too was a carrier and chose to have both
:33:29. > :33:35.healthy breasts removed, becoming the youngest person in the UK to do
:33:35. > :33:40.so. Mum always said that when she had her operation, it was just like
:33:40. > :33:43.a feeling of release and a feeling of freedom in a way. I can totally
:33:43. > :33:48.understand where she was coming from with that. Being able to chase
:33:48. > :33:56.my own fate. I remember waking up and yeah, you can feel the pain,
:33:56. > :33:59.but it's all worth it. Her mother has put her experience and
:33:59. > :34:07.knowledge of hereditary breast cancer to good use. She now
:34:07. > :34:12.operates a website and help line for people in a similar situation.
:34:12. > :34:15.London would be the nearest genetic clinic... Looking back, it's
:34:15. > :34:22.probably the best decision I've ever made, to go ahead with this. I
:34:22. > :34:27.haven't had one single second of regret. I'd sacrifice -- sacrificed
:34:27. > :34:31.a part of my body in order to keep it all.
:34:31. > :34:35.Wendy Watson and Dr Dr Mark Porter are here with us. There was
:34:35. > :34:38.obviously no doubt that you would go ahead with the procedure. How
:34:38. > :34:43.different was the decision make prog ses with your daughter? For me,
:34:43. > :34:46.I had to invent it for myself. It was something I came to, I
:34:46. > :34:50.counselled myself through. For Becki it was different. She had
:34:50. > :34:53.seen me go through it. I wanted her to see how positively I came
:34:53. > :34:59.through. It I didn't want to influence her. It's important she
:34:59. > :35:02.made her own mind us. -- up. One of our relatives developed breast
:35:03. > :35:06.cancer in her mid-20s so Becki decided she would have the test
:35:06. > :35:09.earlier than we'd hoped. She carried the same fault that I've
:35:09. > :35:13.got. Very brave at 24. But lots of
:35:13. > :35:17.viewers will be worried about hereditary breast cancer, men and
:35:17. > :35:21.women. How can they go about doing like Wendy and Becki have done to
:35:21. > :35:26.see if they have the gene? Lots of people will be worried because lots
:35:27. > :35:33.of people may have a relative who has had breast cancer. It's one in
:35:33. > :35:38.eight will get it if you live to your 80s. Fewer than 10% of all
:35:38. > :35:42.breast cancers are related to genes. Most just happen by chance. We look
:35:42. > :35:46.for unusual patterns. Just because you have one relative doesn't mean
:35:46. > :35:50.you should be concerned. But if you have lots of relatives, for
:35:50. > :35:54.instance, first degree relatives, mother or sister, who develop
:35:54. > :35:58.breast cancer before the age of 50 would ring alarm bells. If you have
:35:58. > :36:02.one male member of the family, one chap who has developed breast
:36:02. > :36:07.cancer that could mean your family has the genes. Then what you need
:36:07. > :36:12.to do is go along to your GP and say look I have this family history
:36:12. > :36:16.and spend a bit of time documenting it. If in doubt, he or she will
:36:16. > :36:21.refer you to a specialist. As we saw in the film there, you run this
:36:21. > :36:25.help line now. What's the main theme of advice that you find that
:36:25. > :36:29.you're giving? I run it 24 hours a day every day of the year. It's
:36:29. > :36:33.people ring up with all sorts of queries. But mainly people want
:36:33. > :36:37.identify with other people who have been through this decision-make
:36:37. > :36:43.prog ses. It's really, really important that you don't influence
:36:43. > :36:46.people by the decision I made. Because all the options are
:36:46. > :36:52.available and full support should be given no matter what. We have
:36:52. > :36:55.now set up 37 support groups across the UK and information centres, so
:36:55. > :37:00.that people can actually learn about this on the High Street and
:37:00. > :37:03.be more aware and more educated. I'm trying my very hardest to raise
:37:03. > :37:07.the profile without frightening anybody at all. There's nothing to
:37:07. > :37:11.be frightened of. You're doing a great job. Thanks so
:37:11. > :37:16.much for sharing your story. If you need any help or advice on this
:37:16. > :37:21.issue, we've put links on our website bbc.co.uk/The One Show.
:37:21. > :37:29.Gyles is here with another one of his escaped animal stories. Where
:37:29. > :37:33.is he? I'm here. Let me relate to you the curious tale of a fethered
:37:33. > :37:37.fugitive called Foster, the amazing vanishing vaulure.
:37:37. > :37:40.# One day I'll fly away... # Twitters are famous for travelling
:37:40. > :37:46.hundreds of miles for a glimpse of a rare bird. Imagine their
:37:46. > :37:51.excitement, then, when in June 2001, a fearsome creature swooped down
:37:51. > :37:57.onto the roof tops of a house in East Anglia, terrifying the local
:37:57. > :38:03.residents. It was a grifb vulture, a bird with an eight-foot wing span
:38:03. > :38:07.and a taste for raw meat. This was a sensation. A vulture on the loose.
:38:07. > :38:12.The residents in Suffolk had a shock today when a rather large
:38:12. > :38:16.bird perched upon a roof turned out to be an African vulture... Three
:38:17. > :38:21.hours into the spectacle the owner arrived home to meet her new lodger.
:38:21. > :38:27.I certainly won't go out into the garden although I don't think they
:38:28. > :38:32.attack humans, do they? Meanwhile, a few miles down the road, in
:38:32. > :38:39.Norfolk, one of the keepers was in trouble with his boss. I was in my
:38:39. > :38:47.office and the manage ING Director, the owner of the zoo came walking
:38:47. > :38:50.in saying "there's your vulture". This was one of the vultures from
:38:50. > :38:54.the zoo's collection of exotic birds. One of them called Foster
:38:54. > :38:58.was often reluctant to return to his aviary after the daily flying
:38:58. > :39:03.displays. We would leave him out overnight and in the morning, he
:39:03. > :39:07.would go in quite happily, to rejoin his friends. You left the
:39:07. > :39:11.vulture out overnight, is that safe? Is it like putting the cat
:39:11. > :39:15.out? You left the vulture on the run, as it were? He was on the top
:39:15. > :39:19.of the aviary here with his friends. He didn't normally leave his
:39:19. > :39:24.friends. However, it must have been nice weather and he fancied a jaunt
:39:24. > :39:29.to the coast. So international twitchers alert, when in fact it's
:39:29. > :39:34.just John not doing his job properly. I imagine you work
:39:34. > :39:38.elsewhere now? Funny you say that, yes, I am. John, a horde of
:39:38. > :39:42.twitchers and the world's press sped off to look for him after four
:39:42. > :39:47.days on the loose settled in Suffolk. Someone was knocking on my
:39:47. > :39:51.door saying, "Excuse me, my vulture is in your garden. Do you mind if I
:39:51. > :39:55.get it down from the tree?" That's the most peculiar thing I've ever
:39:56. > :40:01.had said to me. All attempts to capture him failed. John came up
:40:01. > :40:06.with a plan. The next thing was to introduce one of his friends. We
:40:06. > :40:15.brought this bird here and this is Vomit a hooded vulture. The name?
:40:15. > :40:19.Vomit. Even Vomit making eyes at Foster failed to tempt him back
:40:19. > :40:23.into captivity. Eagle-eyed John had a better idea. Foster had a human
:40:23. > :40:28.best friend too. She trained him. She knew him best. Her name was Jo
:40:28. > :40:32.Long. Perhaps she could hold the key. Jo, you worked here, you
:40:32. > :40:35.walked with the animals, talked with the animals. Foster was your
:40:35. > :40:38.special friend. He was. We had a special bond. We worked together
:40:38. > :40:43.every day. Yes, you get to know one another. People thought, well,
:40:43. > :40:46.Foster is one of Jo's boys, we'll send her into the rescue. What
:40:46. > :40:50.happened? To start with he was on the roof. Then he would slowly,
:40:50. > :40:56.after a couple of hours, make his way down to a tree. Then down to
:40:56. > :41:01.the ground. This has the pattern through the day. Falconer getting
:41:01. > :41:04.closer to vulture, but not close enough. Then it was obvious I would
:41:04. > :41:10.have to start get nearer and nearer. There was a moment where it had to
:41:10. > :41:16.be done and there was no turning back. Foster momentarily let down
:41:16. > :41:21.his guard and paid with his liberty. I'm very pleased. I'm surprised I
:41:21. > :41:26.kept hold of him. I thought he was going to wriggle out of my grip.
:41:26. > :41:29.It's 11 years since the break for freedom. But vultures can last into
:41:29. > :41:33.their 40s. And Foster is still joining in the zoo's flying
:41:33. > :41:37.displays. Jo is now an estate agent and it's many years since she's
:41:37. > :41:42.seen Foster. So The One Show couldn't pass up the chance to
:41:43. > :41:47.reunite this formerly devoted pair. But would the bond still be there?
:41:47. > :41:53.This is him. This is definitely him. How old would he be now? He must be
:41:53. > :41:58.20 years old. You were about 20 when you... 21. He likes you. He
:41:58. > :42:02.knows you. What's it like seeing him again? Fantastic, amazing.
:42:02. > :42:12.Thank you very much. I never thought a vulture would
:42:12. > :42:15.
:42:15. > :42:20.bring a tear to the eye. You live Gyles is here. He's brought two
:42:20. > :42:25.friends Alan. Now who is the other one? This is my new best friend
:42:25. > :42:34.Harold. Unlike the vulture in the film, this one is a bit bigger and
:42:34. > :42:38.this one comes is eur-Asian. He's 25 years old and Alan looks after
:42:38. > :42:43.him in Kent. He has become a close friend as mine. He's in the as bold
:42:43. > :42:52.as he looks. He's gorgeous. He looks so cuddly. You want to stroke
:42:52. > :42:57.him. Wait till you see the wing span. Although he's flapping his
:42:57. > :43:02.wings... It was a stroke. He's in the a confident flyer, though?
:43:02. > :43:06.he's hopeless. How? What he does is he can only ever fly if the wind is
:43:06. > :43:09.blow ING Directly up the hill. If it's from the left or the right he
:43:09. > :43:14.goes off in a semi-circle and crashes at the bottom. If the wind
:43:14. > :43:19.is right, he goes out and straight up, then he seems to get frightened
:43:19. > :43:29.and comes round. He's been up to about 300 feet. Then he crash lands
:43:29. > :43:34.
:43:34. > :43:37.again. He's done some abysmal landings. Oh, my God. You shouldn't
:43:37. > :43:46.insult him in public. So long as we're alive, we're owe kai. That's
:43:46. > :43:52.the secret. -- OK. He's just really excited. Let's not worry too much
:43:52. > :43:59.about Harold escaping. The land is awash with escaping animals. Never
:43:59. > :44:05.mind escaping vultures. He's got his dinner here. That was a moment.
:44:05. > :44:14.Not really a vegetarian moment, though. What is that? Leave it at
:44:14. > :44:18.meat. Wow. The reason we didn't is because if he wanted to sit on his
:44:18. > :44:23.lap, we could distract him with this. He is thoroughly distracted
:44:23. > :44:28.now. Let's move on to Gyles. I have got some amazing escaping cows in
:44:28. > :44:32.Harrogate earlier in the year, 30 cows on a Sunday morning, you
:44:32. > :44:42.looked out of your window and what did you see? These ram pathing.
:44:42. > :44:42.
:44:42. > :44:48.They'll be coming through the Shall we move on to New York?
:44:48. > :44:53.we will talk about another bird, then what it would be like a golden
:44:53. > :44:59.eagle had escaped, it has a wingspan even bigger than this, and
:44:59. > :45:06.it ended up a tree, there You are. That is the kind of Christmas
:45:06. > :45:11.decoration! Does Harold suit up your Christmas tree? You would need
:45:11. > :45:16.a very big Christmas tree, this is 16 lb of water, and is starting to
:45:16. > :45:21.get very heavy now! He has dropped something there. You are more than
:45:21. > :45:26.welcome to try him on your tree. once went out with somebody who had
:45:26. > :45:30.similar table manners. He is mesmerising to watch! This is as
:45:30. > :45:34.nothing compared to what has happened in the past, New York,
:45:34. > :45:38.1874, the front page of the New York Herald, this extraordinary
:45:38. > :45:43.story about the animals from Central Park Zoo that escaped on
:45:43. > :45:49.the same day, a terrible scenes of mutilation in the streets, awful
:45:49. > :45:54.combat between beasts and citizens, a carnival of death! There was a
:45:54. > :46:00.panther in a check, a Reile no in a sewer, and anaconda trying to eat a
:46:00. > :46:06.giraffe. Apparently there was able to record Harold, oh, no! 200
:46:06. > :46:13.people injured, 49 dead. And then I got to the end of this long story,
:46:13. > :46:18.and it says at the bottom, the entire story given a vote is pure
:46:18. > :46:28.fabrication. Guess who the editor was of the newspaper at the time.
:46:28. > :46:33.Gordon Bennett! Shall we move on quite quickly? Thank you very much
:46:33. > :46:40.indeed, nice to see you, he is going to go! He is coming back for
:46:40. > :46:46.the rest of it, look, just tidying up before he leaves. I You're all
:46:46. > :46:50.right, Sandi? I have rarely had more fun! The combination of Mr
:46:50. > :46:55.Cannon and able to eating his dinner, A Night to Remember. -- Mr
:46:55. > :47:00.Canada. Although there may not be many questions about as bigging
:47:00. > :47:05.blotters on your new show, there are questions about 1001 things
:47:05. > :47:11.that you should know. Let's find out if you know what you should
:47:11. > :47:19.about animals. I am Mark Evans from Channel 4, I think you should know,
:47:19. > :47:24.a Sinn is an old name for which British mammal? I am going to say
:47:24. > :47:34.gate. It is a good guess, but it is not the right answer. You are
:47:34. > :47:36.
:47:36. > :47:43.locked out. Paul or Harry can buzz in. Is it paid? Funnily enough, no!
:47:43. > :47:53.I'm not supposed to help you, but the answer is not paid! I do not

:48:36. > :48:39.University of Portsmouth. That is one of my proudest achievements.
:48:39. > :48:44.Were they any of the questions that came up that you did not know the
:48:44. > :48:50.answer to? I do not keep my finger on the pulse, I do not tweet, I put
:48:50. > :48:58.a Post-it note on the fridge. I did not know the name of Adele's debut
:48:58. > :49:03.album. 21 or something? 19! That was a cash question, you would have
:49:03. > :49:07.won some money. Not everyone who goes on a quiz show is a genius,
:49:07. > :49:17.there have been some hysterically bad answers in the past, so with

:50:32. > :50:42.sprinkle on some talcum powder! would not have wanted to stand next

:50:45. > :50:55.to them. Sandi, the question was... Saucy scripts? Well, no, the answer
:50:55. > :50:59.
:50:59. > :51:06.is seashells, but the contest and Armenian priest. The answer was a
:51:06. > :51:12.public museum, but they said Indian restaurant. I was quite close.
:51:12. > :51:18.Shall we keep going? The next one is from blockbusters, what can

:52:38. > :52:42.on Channel 4 at 3:30pm. Now, tonight, Lucy is near Wrexham
:52:42. > :52:48.helping the community to plant a brand-new wood. Can you see the
:52:48. > :52:54.wood for the trees yet? Almost, we are almost there,
:52:54. > :53:01.welcome back to press further! They have been working so hard today. --
:53:01. > :53:05.Press Fund. Two days ago we were set the challenge to build a
:53:05. > :53:09.community in his old quarry, and some would say it is impossible,
:53:09. > :53:16.but we have planted hundreds of trees, the community has done
:53:16. > :53:20.amazing work. We have got about 200 trees planted, 300 at the top site,
:53:20. > :53:26.and they may look like weedy little saplings, but Mother Nature has
:53:26. > :53:30.done her work. Keith Evans hopes it will look something like this,
:53:30. > :53:34.maybe in about 10 years' time, wouldn't that be magnificent? We
:53:34. > :53:40.can say we were here at the start. I'm going to have a word with
:53:40. > :53:45.Georgina from the Woodland Trust, hello. We have been talking a lot
:53:45. > :53:50.about problems with British trees, and we had an update on ash dieback
:53:50. > :53:54.last night. Why is a project like this so important? With the threat
:53:54. > :53:58.to woodlands across the country from ash dieback and other diseases,
:53:58. > :54:03.there has never been a more important time to plant trees.
:54:03. > :54:06.Trees are really vital to our life, they help us breathe, provide
:54:06. > :54:12.fantastic places to play and a walk-in, and they bring communities
:54:12. > :54:17.together. We have definitely seen that today. You want more people to
:54:17. > :54:21.plant more trees. Absolutely, in this Jubilee year, we are planting
:54:21. > :54:27.6 million trees, we are 3 million through, and we need more people to
:54:27. > :54:31.come out and help us, and we have got thousands to give away. On that
:54:31. > :54:36.note, thank you so much. All the details are on our website, but if
:54:36. > :54:41.you think you can transform a space, as his community has done, there
:54:41. > :54:45.are thousands of free British saplings that you can get hold of,
:54:45. > :54:51.the details are on the website. Talking about transformations, up
:54:51. > :54:56.from one British hope, a local wood sculptor has produced a beautiful
:54:56. > :55:00.commemorative statue for this would. Let's have a look, isn't that
:55:00. > :55:06.stunning? It will remind everyone of the history of this place,
:55:06. > :55:10.because it was once a curry -- a quarry. We will have a bit of a
:55:10. > :55:16.celebration in a minute, because the final saplings are going in,
:55:16. > :55:22.aren't they? Yes. You set as his challenge, how do you think it has
:55:22. > :55:26.gone? You can be honest! Really fantastic, it has been a great day
:55:26. > :55:32.today. It has been wonderful having the young people carrying out the
:55:32. > :55:36.planting, they will be able to see the trees growing. Listen, put the
:55:36. > :55:41.final saplings in. Next week we will be in Glasgow, and I am asking
:55:41. > :55:45.for donations are second and winter clothing. Please e-mail if you can
:55:45. > :55:50.help us out with those donations and we will show you what we have
:55:50. > :55:55.done with them next week. The final saplings are going into the ground,
:55:55. > :56:00.you have planted a forest! Back to you guys.
:56:00. > :56:04.That is wonderful. That is fantastic. Not easy in the dark.
:56:04. > :56:09.might get myself a chainsaw and start doing that kind of sculpting,
:56:09. > :56:13.I will have a word with Anna Ford. You have landed so many trees, you
:56:13. > :56:18.are quite obsessive. We should all be, it is the most wonderful thing,
:56:18. > :56:22.it is representative of life, and we should all adopt a tree, it is a
:56:22. > :56:31.lovely thing and a greater investment in the future. Any tree
:56:31. > :56:35.lovers here? That is good. cannot... I am constantly planting
:56:35. > :56:40.trees! That is going to score you some points. It is quite a sad
:56:40. > :56:46.moment, because we have only got two minutes left with the Mr World
:56:46. > :56:53.contestants, but now we have got Mr Mongolia here, what is your name? I
:56:53. > :56:56.will read your biography, you are 25 years old, Umar leader of the
