21/11/2017 The One Show

Hello and welcome to

The One Show with Alex Jones.

And Matt Baker.

People are saying our guests

tonight have just filmed

the worst movie ever made.

And, after seeing it myself today,

I see what they mean.

Action!

You have to say a cloud, I

can't hear you. -- say it loud.

Action!

I didn't hear you. Oh, hi,

Mark.

Where are you looking?

It

doesn't work if you're looking at

the camera.

What?

They're brothers so let's see

if they blame each other!

It's James and David Franco.

Brilliant.

We should explain.

The action in your film, it is

hilarious, it's not often that I

laughed out loud.

Did you say that

we were making a movie about the

worst movie?

It is about a famously

bad movie made in 2003 called The

Room.

Not to be compared with the

Brie Larson Oscar-winning film!

Which was great, incredible

performance, deserving the Oscar.

For a while, they had to say "The

Room, not the Brie Larson...". But

the director and star of The Room in

the film I star in that it out in

theatres for two weeks even though

nobody saw it, he paid for it

himself, so he would qualify for the

Academy Awards.

Was never going to

happen, was it?

It has cult status,

the original film.

Since then.

The

rituals that people have when they

see Ed, the cutlery?

In a way it's

the new Rocky Horror picture show,

there is this audience

participation. It has gone on for 14

and a half years and there are

specific call-backs to the screen.

One thing people do, they bring

plastic spoons because in the film

there are these picture frames with

spoons in them.

How did you notice

that?

You've got to watch The Room

with people who have seen it a bunch

of times, there are a bunch of

Easter wrecks.

When they made the

original movie they said to Tommy,

the director, shouldn't we have some

pictures on the wall, make it look

like people live here -- Easter

eggs. There were stock photos of

spoons and they said, Tommy, should

we put photos of the characters so

it looks like they live here? He

said, don't worry, if they are

looking at the spoons they are

looking at the wrong thing. 14 years

later, whenever the spoons come up,

people yell spoons in the theatre

and throw plastic spoons.

It could

be real knives and forks which would

be more dangerous. We would like

photos of you with your brothers,

because we have James and Dave with

us. Tell us what you do together,

send us a photo and we will show you

at the end of the show.

In a moment we'll be meeting

a lurcher called Red

who is looking for a home.

He was abandoned by hare

coursers, criminals who use

dogs to hunt wild hare.

The practice is illegal but,

as Matt Allwright's been finding

out, it's still flourishing,

particularly in Lincolnshire

where innocent farmers are powerless

to stop their fields being used

These men are taking part in the

hare coursing, placing bets on which

of their dogs will catch wild hare

in a chase to the death. Hare

coursing may now be illegal but that

hasn't stopped its popularity and

this is the perfect place for it.

Driven by the high-stakes gambling

of this blood sport, criminal gangs

are prepared to travel miles to

trust pass on farmland like this in

Lincolnshire. The rural policing

team is led by Chief Inspector Jim

Tiner.

2000 incidents last year,

this is what criminals do on their

day off, it is enjoyed by people

with links to organised crime.

But

the police are now taking action to

stop it. I'm hitting the road with

wildlife crime officer Nick Willie

as part of a special operation to

stop the hare coursing.

Often they

will drive through gates to stop us

because they know that our policy is

that we will arrest and sees dogs

and we cause.

We get our first call.

Locals have spotted what they

suspect is a carload of hare courses

in a nearby fee. And sure enough, we

spot them too. The vehicle is just

up there on the right.

Yes, I've got

the vehicle in front of me, whiskey

01. Going across fields at speed.

This gang clearly don't like being

hunted themselves. And they'll do

just about anything to avoid being

caught.

Vehicle at speeds towards

you now. Move out of the way, let me

through, please.

With the hare

course is willing to drive at high

speed through the village, Nick has

no choice but to call off the chase.

It is unsafe to continue. It is a

right.

The Red Subaru was later

found burnt out over 100 miles away

on the board of Berkshire and

Surrey. But it's not just the hare

coursers' reckless driving that is

putting the blackness, threats of

violence and intimidation to farmers

are now at an all-time high. William

and his family have worked this land

for five generations.

We put these

here to stop these guys coming on,

we're trying to barricade it and

keep them out but we are also

barricading ourselves in.

The

makeshift security measures at this

2000 acre farm don't always keep out

the coursers, as William found to

his cost in July.

Two came at me and

got hold of me and out of nowhere

another one had a wheel brace, got

out of his car and hit me, taking

off the end of my nose. Worrying

that that is their first course of

action, to clobber the farmer.

Back

on the road there's been another

sighting of suspected hare coursers

on the other side of the county.

Another police vehicle here so we

suspect they are on the right.

There

they are, moaning on -- running

across the field.

An officer

approaches the men but they aren't

hanging around. We've got a blue

four-wheel drive heading down. A

police car tries to block their

path. Its stopping. It's gone past

the police vehicle. It's now coming

down our way.

He's absolutely

flying.

Brake, brake. In his haste

to escape justice the driver has

left one of his gang behind.

We

think he's now in this group of the

trees. It isn't a big space. They

are going to use technology to see

if they can find him. With so much

ground to cover when one of the hare

coursers takes off on foot the team

uses drones to pinpoint their

whereabouts more quickly but after

an hour-long search, there's no sign

of him.

The last person to see him

said they went in there. There's

definitely nothing in there.

He may

have had a narrow escape on this

occasion but as police continue

their crackdown, next time he may

not be so lucky. With hare coursers

still at large, William continue to

feel deeply concerned for his

safety.

What happened to me is bad

enough but I've a great fear that

someone could end up being killed by

hare coursers.

Rebecca Harper from the RSPCA is

here with a lurcher, Met, who wasn't

involved in that situation but is

from the area of Lincolnshire --

Red. Tell me about Red and his

situation.

Sadly his situation isn't

unusual, we come across it a lot. He

was found on a day when coursers had

been in the area, he was lucky to be

found by a member of the public late

in the afternoon on a remote road.

He was tied up to a bush with

plastic twine about this high, so he

couldn't lay down otherwise he would

have strangled himself and he had a

broken leg, which was just hanging.

They phoned us and we facilitated

getting him to a vet and he is care

has been taken on by the local

RSPCA. He is available for

re-homing, his leg has been

amputated and he has healed

brilliantly. When these dogs are no

longer an asset, they just get

dumped and left and picked up as

strays or abandon.

I'm sure you'll

be inundated with people interested

in homing Red but what kind of

family would be ideal?

As you can

see he is very chilled out. We

normally ask for homes without small

children because of the history

where they've come from but older

children and teenagers, he is great

with other dogs, he is well

socialised. Have to be careful with

small furry animals, the instinct is

to chase.

That is what he had been

bred for.

So, no cats or hamsters,

sometimes small dogs we'd be careful

with. Otherwise anyone who is

active, even though he only has

three legs he is very active and

very fast. Someone who can give him

love and affection.

In your eyes,

what's the best way of trying to

tackle this? We saw the police

trying to be proactive but where is

it going to hit hardest as far as

the coursers are concerned?

It's

difficult to say how it can be

solved easily but from the RSPCA

point of view we'd like, where there

is evidence, the stronger offence is

being prosecuted. Hunting with dogs,

and where applicable, the animal

welfare act. Offences that include

penalties of disqualification so

they are allowed to own dogs, solar

dogs that have been taken can be

kept permanently and they can be

billed for the cost of the dogs

being kept in kennels while the

matter goes through court. And if

they are disqualified, if the police

stopped them, even if they are doing

nothing criminal, if they are in

control of a dog it is a criminal

offence because they'll be breaching

the disqualification. The police can

take the dogs straightaway from

them, thereby stopping their source

of entertainment and money. These

dogs are used for betting large sums

of money, they become valuable, the

more they win the more valuable they

are. They are also used for breeding

and money comes from that as well.

So a small fine or criminal record

makes little difference but if we

can get the evidence for the

disqualify or a ban, that is better.

You have made good friends during

that.

There is a good chance I'd

take this guy! I wish I could. I've

got two enormous cats.

You are a cat

man.

All animals.

Tell you what,

your brother, got to watch him, he

is a right next because he told us

that in the past you had a cat

calendar -- he's a right snitch.

I've got to stop talking about my

cats in every interview but I don't

know, I'm an overbearing parent!

We've got a props Dave who helps out

at a local cat sanctuary and this is

their calendar.

Going right to my

heart, man. I'll take it.

Thank you,

Rebecca.

The Ashes get under way in Australia

at midnight tomorrow.

We don't want to typecast

you but we're guessing that

like many Americans you don't

really get cricket?

If anyone gets anything about it, he

does.

I don't get much!

Don't worry!

All you need to know is that England

started playing Australia in 1877

and since then there has been

sporting warfare between the two

countries, OK?

Joe went to find out

how a new form of the game has

inspired other players including

mighty Moeen Ali.

When talking about cricket one

immediately thinks of long summer

days playing on the manicured

village pitch, the sound of leather

on willow. But not here in stony

parks Hill, in Birmingham. This is

Street cricket. Street cricket was

pioneered in Karachi, Pakistan, in

the 60s. With a lack of proper

equipment or grounds, eager players

found a cheap and simple solution.

It is this, a tennis ball wrapped in

electrical tape. It gives it a

little bit more weight and a nice

grip, which means you get fantastic

speed. This is a quick game. Making

it perfect to play on tarmac streets

or clearings. How is it different?

You don't have to wear a helmet,

pads or loves. One team faces 20

bowls. In professional cricket you

can score anywhere you want but in

this one you can only go straight.

Street cricket has become so

successful it has produced a number

of international cricketers and

there are three of them over there.

Forget Edgbaston, this is your home

ground?

It is, this is where I

started my career, really.

What is

it about this version of the game?

What skills does it give people?

You

learn so much about angles. You

ended up hitting a lot more balls,

bowling a lot more yorkers than you

do at a club.

He's hit that! It

helped Moeen Ali get started and now

it has backing from the England and

Wales Cricket board. Is there still

and image problem, people think

about the village green?

Yes, we are

proud that it is traditional, but it

is more than that, a game anyone can

play. They don't need the pads and

equipment. A great opportunity for

talented youngsters to pick up the

bat and potentially go into a more

traditional pathway and take the

game into more urban areas.

Larsson what do you make of this

form of the game?

It is great fun,

it is good to be involved, it is

free and easy and you do not need

much equipment. You have crates and

bins on the side. People think

cricket is an expensive game, but

you see this today and it is so easy

and everyone gets involved.

These

guys have got some skills.

Watching

from the sides you do not realise

how quick it is until you get in the

firing line.

Street cricket is not

about winning, it is the taking

part. Anyone can have a go, even me.

This feels like a fibre for cricket.

For us there are quite a few lads

who get into the park and it is a

good way that communities come

together.

Would it give us the

English stars of tomorrow? You'll

yes, it will. Moeen Ali started here

and he has ended up being one of the

best players in the world. That is

where he started. You have had a

blistering summer, you must be quite

excited about going to play for

England in the winter.

I am excited,

I know it is going to be hard. I am

staying as calm as I can and

forgetting about what is happening

and taking the confidence from the

summer and going out to Australia

and performing well for the team.

Hey!

We need to get a tennis ball and

wrap it in electrical tape and give

it to him for Christmas.

I know you

will do that!

I know you will do that!

If you're a night owl,

Test Match Special will provide

ball-by-ball commentary of all Tests

on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra.

Let's talk about The Disaster

Artist. Between you you have got a

back catalogue. 127 Hours. The

Spiderman franchise.

You watched the

movie.

You have been in bad

neighbours, 21 jump St, but you have

never done a major movie together.

This is the first time. Why has it

taken so long?

That is on me. When I

first started my career I did not

have a choice to go off on my own in

terms of work because I did not want

to pick my own path and I wanted to

stand on my own two feet. But he is

my brother and this felt like the

right timing and the right project.

We need the right dynamic between

these characters and we really

understood that relationship and I

am glad I said yes because it has

been one of the more enjoyable times

I have had onset.

Did you ask him to

do it?

I came to the whole thing

through the book that the other

actor in That Room wrote. Before I

was halfway done with that book I

knew a few things. I knew I wanted

to play Tommy and I wanted my

brother to play Greg. I thought,

this is the one. He will say yes. I

knew we had the right dynamic for

it.

It is perfect.

They had this

very unusual, close friendship like

they were almost like brothers. And

thank God my own brother said yes.

The main characters Tommy and Greg

failed to take off in LA, so after

another rejection a plan, why not

make their own film? This is when

Tommy presents the script to Greg.

That Room. Yes, nobody has read it

yet. You will be the first one.

I

cannot believe it, man, that you did

this. You will play Mark. You want

me to play Mark.

It is a big role.

Certainly it is, you want me to play

it?

Johnny Depp did not want it. It

is like you say, Hollywood rejects

us, so we do it on our own.

You have

got prosthetics on there.

I have got

a lot, my cheeks, my nose, chin,

eyelids, awake and contact lenses.

Is it right that you were doing it

in character?

I did.

How did that

work?

It was very strange.

Technically he stayed in character

while directing. But that does not

mean he adopted Tommy Wiseau's

personality. He was still James, but

he was speaking to us through this

voice and the prosthetics. That does

not make it any less weird.

It got a

bit confusing sometimes because I

would say, OK, we go again. Then

they would ask is that Tommy James?

Tommy says he is from America. He is

clearly not, he has a European

accent, but nobody knows hardly

anything about this guy who financed

this film with £6 million.

Of his

own money. That is the beauty of

Tommy. There are three mysteries,

where he is from, because he sounds

like Eastern Europe, but he says he

is a New Orleans all-American guy

and he stuck to that. He was at

least in his late 40s when he made

the film but he said he was in his

20s. And, yes, where he got the

money from. He had a denim retail

store in San Francisco.

Really?

He

told the a few weeks ago, James, I

got it selling Levi jeans. You do

not know anything about retailing!

So he has seen the movie?

He loves

it, he has seen our movie three

times. He says he approves 99.9%.

The 1% if he does not like the way I

depict him throwing a football

because I do not throw it very well.

He thinks he is better?

Yes, he is

an all-American guy.

But his

original gripe with the movie...

He

said 99.1%. You would think he would

say I never did this or I never did

that. But he said, James, I think

you should have a look at the

lighting at the beginning of the

film.

But you just remembered this

today, he was wearing sunglasses

when he was watching the felon.

It

was a bit dodgy.

You will never get

your brother back, his voice has

changed.

changed.

The Disaster Artist is released

in selected cinemas from 1st

of December and nationwide from 6th

December and if you're in London

this week you can see the original

film The Room at The Prince Charles

Cinema until Friday.

Take your spoons.

Exactly.

Exactly.

What's it like, I'm

wondering, having a job that

sends people to sleep.

I've no idea, Alex!

But what I do know is that there

is predicted to be a shortage

of anaesthetists in the not too

distant future and Kevin Fong

wants to put that right.

I have spent my career sending

people to sleep, not because I am

dull, but because I am a consultant

anaesthetist. It is one of the most

misunderstood specialities in

medicine. I have come to the Royal

United Hospital in Bath to follow a

couple of trainees around for the

day. We have got Jamie who has only

just finished his second year.

Can

we have a quick listen to your

heart?

And Robert who has done just

18 months of training. The stakes

are high. Anaesthetists deal with

the sickest patients and the most

potent drugs. It will take them

eight years to fully qualified.

Getting through that training is one

of the toughest things I have ever

done. Today Rob is working in

elective surgery. Can you open your

mouth? His first operation with Mary

is not going to be easy. Less than

straightforward case for Rob today.

This lady has arthritis which

affects the way her neck moves, she

has problems with her breathing, her

heart does not pump as efficiently

as it should and all of that affects

all of the drugs they need to give

the anaesthetic and that is why this

case will be relatively minor

surgery with a major anaesthetic.

You have got a drug to get the

patient off to sleep and pain relief

and anti-sickness medication and we

are using a muscle relaxant to keep

the patient still during surgery.

Rob has to get the doses exactly

right. A slight miscalculation could

be fatal and there has to be a

careful balance of drugs injected as

well as inhaled and that is where

the skill lies. Anaesthetic gases

have been used since the 1800 's,

but it has taken over a century of

careful experimentation to learn how

to use them safely. But bizarrely we

still do not know precisely how

those gases work. We are getting

recovery. What we do know is they

bind to proteins in the brain and

temporarily disable new rounds,

allowing us to control

consciousness.

Open your eyes, keep

them open.

The drugs work quickly,

within seconds Mary is unconscious.

It is now up to Rob to keep her

alive.

Now we are beginning to

artificially support her breathing

and artificially support her

circulation.

He has to constantly

monitor Mary and the amount of

anaesthetic in her system to keep a

safely unconscious. We can tell how

much of the gas is inside the

patient.

We can infer how deeply

asleep they are.

But anaesthetists

are not only critical for surgery.

On the other side of the hospital

Jamie has just been called to attend

a patient in A&E.

What is happening?

A 15-year-old has fallen from a tree

from a height. They are on their way

into us and I do not know much more

than that.

Two thirds of people are

treated by an anaesthetist when they

go to hospital and that is because

of their skills in resuscitation and

life support, making us the experts

at saving lives. We are needed

everywhere, critical care, maternity

and A&E. One minute Jamie is in

intensive care looking after the

sickest patients in the hospital,

the next he is sent to deal with an

emergency.

Early indications are

that they are conscious and

breathing.

I will let you get on.

Thank you.

Fortunately that patient

made a full recovery. Back on the

surgical wards, Mary's operation is

over. You look fantastic.

I feel

much more relaxed than I thought I

would, which is good.

Thanks to the

skills of Rob and his team the

anaesthetic has gone well and it is

on to his next patient.

A big thanks

to Mary and hello if you are

watching.

And a big thank you to all

of you who have been sending in

pictures of brothers. We will go

through a few here. This is Harry

and his baby brother. Their

favourite thing is getting into

mischief together. Come on, Dave,

what mystery did your big Brother

get you into growing up?

Oh, man. He

is seven years older than me so it

was more him imposing mischief on

me. It was not really a team thing.

His main thing was zipping me up in

a sleeping bag and torturing me from

the outside so I am kicking and

screaming and I cannot get out.

This

is Dave and his little brother Phil

and they love going on holiday in

Wales and they shared the same

birthday. Where did you have your

most memorable holiday?

We used to

go to a place called Hilton head

Island and our grandmother had a

place there and we used to go on

Sundays and play golf.

I was not

very good. This is dark and Mark.

Doug likes birds and MARKER: 'S man

United, Doug is tidy and welcome is

not. What are you offices of?

He is

very tidy and I am learning how to

be tidy.

Thank you very much to you

both for joining us tonight.

Thanks to James and Dave for joining

us tonight The Disaster Artist

is released in selected cinemas

from 1st of December

and nationwide from 6th December.

Katherine Ryan and Richard Osman

will be providing the laughs
