21/12/2017 The One Show

Hello and welcome to

The One Show with Matt Baker.

And Alex Jones.

Our guests tonight are the heads

of two families with a lot

on their plate this Christmas.

He's the leader of the notorious

Brannings of Albert Square.

She's the March family matriarch

in a new TV version of the classic

book "Little Women".

And together they're the stars

of Boxing Day telly.

It's Jake Wood and Emily Watson!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Welcome, both.

So the Perov you are the headlines

for boxing night.

Yes, Christmas

Day, EastEnders and Day.

So where

will you both be watching, or will

you indeed be watching?

I'm going to

be on the road, driving, visiting

relatives.

Jake Connor please tell

us that the Trail is going out at

the moment are total wind-up and

it's going to be joy and light, a

lovely nativity scene?

Walford?

Possibly not. Sorry to say.

Isn't it

people coming together for a lovely

lunch, low-key?

No, not an

Eastenders. I saw it yesterday, some

of the best episodes I've been

involved in in 12 years in the soap.

I'm really excited.

And the ultimate

feeling coming out was sadness, head

in hands?

Get your tissues ready,

there are tear-jerkers, lots of

drama in Walford.

They are

explosive, we've seen.

How do you

feel about the tabloids? There's a

lot of talk, spoilers in both shows,

pre-empting what's about to happen.

Do you thing that helps, or do you

think you should be left?

With

Little Women, we know. We haven't

changed the ending.

Thankfully.

It

can be really annoying.

Especially

with Eastenders or any six.

Yeah,

there's a fine line between giving

people a little taster of what's to

come not wanting to spoil it. A show

like Eastenders, there is such a

demand for content, people want to

know what's happening so the press

department to a fantastic job of

letting people know enough but

hopefully not spoiling it. It's so

hard now with Twitter and everything

like that. If you go on Twitter

after the show, you will get a

complete rundown of what's just

happened.

We'll get it out of your

during the next half-hour! There

will be no surprises!

They've bought

something along, haven't they?

They

have, exclusive clips from both

shows, we will unwrap them and enjoy

them later.

Tomorrow is "Frantic Friday" -

the day when rush hour commuters

and families on the big Christmas

getaway combine to create

traffic jam chaos.

In those jams will be tonnes

of lorries, and there are some

you really don't want to be stuck

behind, because they're pumping out

illegal levels of fumes.

Here's JJ.

There's a crackdown taking place on

Britain's motorways. The DVSA task

forces pulling over suspect drugs

and taking them apart. They are

hunting down haulage companies whose

lorries are being illegally driven

because they are hiding a piece of

kit designed to get around emissions

regulations.

That will affect

multiple manufacturers.

What are the

DVSA doing here?

It's an

intelligence led operation, we're

looking at a device that is

unfortunately becoming quite

prevalent.

What is it?

It's an

additive, when mixed with the

exhaust it will remove pollutants

out of the exhaust system.

What does

it do?

It will trick the engine to

think that everything is working

properly.

Engines with this system

cannot function when the liquid

isn't in use but the box enables the

trucks to be driven.

The driver

claims he's got all of his receipts.

But why cheat a system which is

helping the environment?

Every time

you fill up with diesel you will

generally fill up with this as well

and there's a cost of that

haulage

operators can save thousands of

pounds by adding this. But the

well-trained team to know what

they're looking for.

Is not

particularly difficult to find. What

we will do now is trick the engine

management unit to believe that it's

working. There's no -- there is

nothing going through the system so

you have the harmful particulates

going through the exhaust.

I'm

meeting Steve Halfon, who's brought

along a friend. Who is your mate?

This is Justin, taking a sample of

the air and drawing it into his

lungs. He has a number of sensors

that measure for carbon dioxide,

carbon monoxide, particles, all the

nasties, including nitrogen dioxide.

We get him strapped him?

Yeah, let's

do it.

We had to a quiet country

lane so Steve and Justin can show me

what readings they get from

relatively clean air.

At the minute

we are seeing 600 particles per

cubic centimetre, so this is telling

you it's nice clean air.

Then it's

the motorway. See what it's like

behind an older lorry that isn't

required to have an emissions

reduction system fitted. What are we

getting right now?

As we get close

to the vehicle in front we should...

There we go, they are going up

already. We're looking at 6000

particles per cubic centimetre,

7000, 8000, 9000, 10,000. 15,000.

Seriously? I think when I'm in my

car the environment is completely

clean. You don't taste it or smell

it but there's pollution in the cab

right now?

Yeah.

But what happens to

the readings when we follow a modern

lorry? This is a 17 plate, it's

going to be brand-new.

Yeah, we can

see through the readings at the

minute, so we're looking at about

1500 particles.

That's ten times

less emissions than the older truck!

That must be working to regulation.

2017 vehicle of that size would

definitely have a system on it.

Back

at the inspection centre the team

have made another fine.

What this

particular operator has done,

there's a new piece of wire here

that you can see, new insulation

tape. If you follow that wire

around, you can see the white box

flashing on the chassis. That's it,

there. What will happen with this is

the vehicle examiner will compile a

report and the authorities will deal

with the operator. They have the

powers to remove somebody's

authority to operate.

What about the

rest of the vehicle, has it been

looked at?

We will continue to do a

check. We no one of the indicator

light is out and there a fault with

the brakes, so it's not a good day

for the driver.

Over two days the

DVSA 62 vehicles and found six had

been tampered with. They'll be given

ten days to remove the devices.

What's your message to someone who

might use a cheat device, or already

is?

If they are on a vehicle, we'll

find them.

It was shocking, watching

that count to go up as they went on

to the motorway behind the lorry,

but this is something that you are

really worried about, Emily?

Yeah,

the Guardian ran an article about

this last year sometime and you

could put the postcode of your

schooling and where my kids go to

school it way over the limit of what

is safe. I mean, really shocking.

Gosh.

There's not more being done.

It's a really worrying thing.

Jake,

your character, Max, was known as a

dodgy car dealer. This is brilliant,

this. We found this advert that you

do in America and it's on apparently

all the time in every single

outbreak, where you play a gecko

selling car insurance.

Yeah, car

insurance, I've been doing the voice

since before I started on

Eastenders, 2005 I started, a long

run.

Let's have a look.

We need to

see it.

Greetings from the Windy

city of Chicago. People here sure

are friendly but some have had a

hard time understanding my accent.

APPLAUSE

Very good, Geico. It's from Dick Van

Dyke, isn't it?

It's great fun doing

that, the CGI is very clever and

when I'm watching the adverts, there

must be about 200 now, I can see

some of my mannerisms. Some of the

stuff he does is like me doing

stuff.

Well, who knew? Let's get

back to Max. Is a horrible piece of

work, isn't it? Absolutely horrible!

Well, it's the truth, but the thing

is, Jake, you are the actor playing

him. You like to think that he has

some redeeming qualities. We can't

see them. But you stand by that,

even now, when he's gone a bit mad?

Max is always misguided in what he

does. I think if anyone has been

watching the show for any length of

time knows this storyline is

probably the continuation of who

killed Lucy storyline, Max was

sentenced to 20 years in prison for

something he didn't do and feels

very betrayed by everyone in the

whole community. Max is very upset

with everyone and has gone over this

last year to exact revenge, really,

so the stuff playing out now and

Christmas day is the culmination of

that kind of stuff. If you look at

the reasons why he is doing what

he's doing, he's got genuine reasons

to be upset, but I agree with you,

some of the things he does aren't

the best things.

Very dark.

That's

Max.

It's all building, as we speak.

Here's a moment from tonight's

episode, that you've brought along

with you. This is when Max reunites

with Ian Beale in the Square.

What

do you want, Max?

Old mates.

I

thought Wilmot Brown was your mate,

oh, no, he's dumped you, hasn't he.

That's not very nice.

I know what

you're up to.

Do you? You think you

know what's going on in my head?

APPLAUSE

Straight after us.

Max isn't keen,

but lots of people share that

opinion of eel picked -- Ian Beale.

Max is a bit unhinged, he feels very

isolated and is out to get revenge.

He tries to kill Ian this week, some

great episodes.

You said this --

just now that storyline has been

going on for years. How does it

affect you as an actor when you're

doing heavy, dark scenes, four long

days on end?

You do look exhausted.

A lot of that is make-up, to be

fair. Yeah, often the storylines are

very intense, as you say. Long

hours, very draining. I think you

have to have a good switch off

mechanism. As soon as I dried out

the studios I'm just died and I want

to be home the kids. -- as soon as I

drive out of the studios, I'm just

dad will stop you don't want to take

Max Banning home with you.

Your son,

Buster, is in the audience tonight.

What is he like when he comes home

from work?

Well, compared to

EastEnders, he's an amazing dad.

He's kind will stop he is a doubt

that you would love to have.

APPLAUSE

Lovely! Do you know what, we know

that as well because we know what

he's like, sitting here. Thank you,.

That is the best Christmas present

you could ever wish for.

Thank you,

and Q Buster. Very proud of the

kids.

All week we've been travelling

the country gathering your Christmas

thank you messages.

So far we've stopped in Aberdeen,

Wrexham, and Bristol.

Now it's Belfast's turn.

I'd just like to thank my

hospitality teacher for bringing us

to Belfast. Happy Christmas.

I'd

like to thank the teachers and staff

at the primary school who have

assisted greatly with my son, who is

dyslexic.

He's our African Grey

parrot that we've had for ten years.

Two weeks ago he was stolen but with

the help of the public and the

police we were able to get Barney

back and I'd like to thank everybody

that helped us.

My daughter Sophie

was born with the news that she

needed a heart transplant.

Thankfully within four months with

being on the register we received a

hard. This is the first Christmas

where Sophie is healthy so myself

and my husband would like to say

thank you to the donor family, who

in their darkest moment made a

difficult decision which saved our

daughter's life.

We are from the

football club, the cold, singing

carols and two special people at the

rugby club would like to give thanks

to, Joe, our physiotherapist and on

my right, Aline, our head chef.

Merry Christmas. # jingle bells,

jingle bells, jingle all all the Way

#.

Ruben kind Lee asked his friends to

donate presents to the cats and dogs

at the century instead of for

himself. Why did you do that?

Because I want to be a zoo keeper

when I grow up.

We want to say thank

you, they are very generous gifts.

Ms Thompson is our principle. I

would like to thank her for

motivating me at a time when I

needed that push.

Thank you, Miss

Thomson, for helping me to improve

my English.

Thank you for setting up

the anti-bullying scheme in the

school, it has helped so many

people.

Thank you, Ms Thompson,

Merry Christmas.

APPLAUSE

Brilliant. No homework for them the

first week back.

I hope they have a

nice Christmas, especially baby

Sophie, her first Christmas.

Let's talk about Little Women, which

is on for three nights starting on

Boxing Day.

I love the book.

You

speak to so many women and everybody

goes, that was my favourite book

throwing up - did you want to be Jo?

I wanted to be Jo.

To be fair I did

not know too much about it, so for

anybody else who might be in a

similar position, how do you

describe the story but doing it is

about a family in America, there are

four teenage daughters, and it's

basically them growing up. But in an

incredibly difficult political time,

in the middle of the civil war and

her dad is away and the mother is

raising them by herself. And all the

terrible trials and tribulations

that it is to be a teenage girl, and

it's just this house full of teenage

smelly angst, and all the dramas

that they go through. You play the

mum.

Campbell and I think the way

that they're raising them is really

interesting, it's very thoughtful

and considered, and the first thing

you see them do is, they give away

their Christmas back first to a

family of refugees. I don't know how

that would go down in your house but

I'm not sure it would go down so

well in mine! There's this effort to

make their children be thoughtful

and profound people, and it is ahead

of its time in that way.

Let's see

you in action.

Father doesn't have a

temper, does he? He's so wise and so

patient.

No want is without their

trials. But his strengths speak to

my weaknesses in should don't cry,

money, you didn't even cry when

father left for Washington in his

uniform. I gave my best to the

country I love and saved my tears

until he was gone. Sometimes we

simply have to do the bravest thing.

There are four very young actresses

in, some of them this was their

first job, one in particular, the

daughter of Uma Thurman?

Yeah, she's

amazing, she's 20, she's just left

college, and she's kind of so full

of energy, she is just like Jo if

you remember the character. She's

full of thoughts and ideas and

talking all the time and her arms

and legs are slightly too long and

she's always falling over herself.

There were four of them in their

early 20s.

So were you like a mum

offset as well?

I was, absolutely.

When you go onto a set there are so

many people with different agendas

of how they want things to be, and

just to be able to be single-minded

and focused on what your job is is

really, really hard. Just to be able

to tell them, you look after

yourself and tell everybody else to

go away...

It is set in New England,

but where did you feel it?

We filmed

it in Ireland, in think the hottest

summer that has had.

It was winter

in New England!

We had snow, there

was a frozen lake. We were bowling

40lb off petticoats every day, which

was a killer. Amazing job they had

done to make it look... It doesn't

look real there but in other... It

looks really amazing.

Can't wait to

see this. Little Women begins on

Boxing Day at 8pm on BBC One and it

continues on the 27th and the 28th,

all on BBC One. And you can feast on

it, three in a row!

Christmas came early

for scientists in Edinburgh,

when Joy Milne walked

through the door.

For 200 years the search has been

on for a way of detecting

Parkinson's disease.

For Joy, it turned out the answer

was right in front of her nose.

I'm in a tiny, tiny branch of the

population, somewhere between a dog

and a human. I thought, that's quite

nice, I can smell better than most

humans! I'm Joy Milne, I'm 67P and I

smell Parkinson's UK Trina husband

was a doctor, I was a nurse. I

sensed a strange smell when he was

around, and it caused some tension

because I said he wasn't brushing

his teeth, he wasn't showering and

so on and so forth, so I just had to

be quiet. But then we went to a

Parkinson's meeting and my nose just

thought, wow!

Joy can distinguish

the Parkinson's smells from the

samples we have taken from patients

and if she smells it we will then

know right away what that molecule

is.

You are a wonder, Joy. You can

smell it on other people and now we

are here, it's amazing!

We would

like to thank you for your

friendship and many happy memories

over the years - that was from his

funeral. It's horrible watching your

partner change like that, it really

is. If we get the test right, it

will never get to that stage,

because at that stage of diagnosis,

68% to 70% of the real damage is

already done. The not going to find

a cure for it, but to stop or

alleviate it, it's just going to be

tremendous.

And Joy is here with us,

along with the scientist Professor

Perdita Barran. And we've just

noticed that Jake has moved away

from the so far, because he's

wearing very strong aftershave, and

we need Joy's knows to be in tiptop

condition! We have got some swabs

here, what is on them?

These come

from participants in our clinical

trial. It is just cause and the

nurse has taken them and wiped them

quite firmly on the back of a person

with Parkinson is. Well, this one is

from someone with Parkinson is, this

one is from a control subject. And

what is on them is the substance

that will be on your back.

Joy,

would you mind opening both samples

and just tell us what you're

smelling and the difference between

both, for you?

For me, that is very

strong.

I could see the reaction in

your face.

Yes, that one is very

strong, it is very strong.

Do you

mind if we have a go?

Let's get the

other one as well, just to see if

you can smell a difference - can you

smell it?

Yes. Yes. You see, that's

completely different, all I can

smell on that one is the gauze.

Yeah, it does smell more musky but

to me there is not a massive

difference.

It's very, very strong.

And you grade the smell?

1-5.

And

that one is...?

That is a 4-5,

definitely.

How will this change

away Parkinson's can be diagnosed?

What she is smelling is the

molecules and a kind of greasy

substance where you get spots when

you're a teenager. And in that there

are lots of molecules and some of

them smell, so we take those samples

and we take off the sebum and we

separate the molecules to find out

what they are. And there are about

6000 and most of them would be the

same, but but the people with

Parkinson is have some that there

are more of. And so we have a

fingerprint, if you like.

Joy, when

you meet people and come into

contact with them, how close do you

have to be in order to get that

smell?

If we are at level five I

would smell it where Alex is now,

quite easily. Otherwise, it can be

on their hands, things they've done

in the day.

And with what you've

been through with your husband and

what have you, do you feel like you

want to tell that person?

I can't,

we had a discussion within the

research group and it would be

unethical because the test is not

there. It would not be ethical in

medicine and I couldn't do it.

But

it must feel like quite a wait of

responsibility as a me you still

know?

Yes, I do.

But I suppose the

fact that you've continued with it

and you're doing this work is going

to help so many other people, I

suppose that's the key?

Yes, all

around the world.

And what is next?

That signature that I talked about,

some of the molecules are

distinctive to people with Parkinson

is a geek we've looked at people at

the very early stage. Unfortunately,

that is too late, we are not going

to stop the disease, but our next

stage is to go to even earlier

stages of it, so people, who are

some reason might have a

neurological event which means they

might get Parkinson is, so we want

to try and take the diagnosis as

early as possible.

And then to

prolong each stage as much as

possible?

And there we hope the

treatment will be more effective.

It

really is fascinating to meet you,

van. And thank you so much for that

clip of that film, but you can see

the full documentary, on the

iPlayer, called The Woman Who Can

Smell Parkinson's.

A choir in Oxford called

the Pro Musica Singers

are celebrating their 40th

anniversary, so we've helped them

do something special

to mark the occasion.

And this is the end result -

a performance spreading Christmas

cheer around the city, that visits

12 churches in just 11 hours.

# Once in royal David's city

# Stood a lonely cattle shed...

# In a now for his bed...

# That mother mild

# Jesus Christ, the little child

# He came down to earth from a

heaven

#

# And his shelter was a stable

# Tears and smiles

# Through our eyes...

Merry Christmas! Voice of an angel,

Jake, singing along! And we are

actually going to finish on a

duff-duff... EastEnders, 2018, are

you staying or are you going?

I

guess tuned in... That sounds

ominous! If it is the end of the

story, it spin story. I certainly

think there is a future for Max, I

never thought he was irredeemable,

the things that he did but

obviously, that decision is out of

my hands.

And Emily, we look forward

to seeing you on the BBC with Sir

Anthony Hopkins.

Haven't they been

fantastic tonight?! EastEnders is

coming up straight after us. Emily

will be on on Boxing Day. We asked

you to send in your dancing videos

and you've given Strictly winner Joe

McFadden a run for his money!
