:00:23. > :00:39.Now it is time for The One Show with our guest presenter. Is there any
:00:40. > :00:47.point pointing out there is no motorbike here? None. In fact it
:00:48. > :00:51.would be... Don't do it, please. Hello and welcome to The One Show
:00:52. > :00:57.with Richard Osman. Added it a pleasure for me to co-host with
:00:58. > :01:03.somebody Alex, Alex Jones. It is lovely to be back. Do you like Jamie
:01:04. > :01:10.Lawson? The chart-topping troubadour and number one hit to make a Jamie
:01:11. > :01:14.Lawson? I certainly do. Good job because he is performing his hit
:01:15. > :01:23.from that number one album. Lucky I did not say no! If I was going to
:01:24. > :01:32.set a Pointless category for our next guest, it would be this:
:01:33. > :01:43.Another clue, maybe? One Mowgli. He is sitting next to you. Oh, Chris
:01:44. > :01:50.Addison! Lovely to see you. Nice to be here. We like the moustache. I
:01:51. > :01:57.missed a little bit when I was shaving. Actor, producer, director,
:01:58. > :02:03.everything, and also a photographer, looking for faces everywhere. There
:02:04. > :02:11.is one right there! That is a real faith and cheating. Just talk us
:02:12. > :02:19.through these. Can I say that these have been taken over a period of
:02:20. > :02:23.maybe three years? So a big deal! I am sticking with it. That is a pipe
:02:24. > :02:30.backstage at the Royal Opera House in London that looks a bit drunk!
:02:31. > :02:37.You cannot argue with that. That is, I believe, a machine for dispensing
:02:38. > :02:43.prophylactics! It looks like it has been up all night, dispensing
:02:44. > :02:53.prophylactics! We really like the sink moose. An endangered species,
:02:54. > :03:01.Chris. It attacks Leonardo DiCaprio in The Revenant. Brilliant! If you
:03:02. > :03:07.have taken a picture of an inanimate object that resembles a face, or
:03:08. > :03:12.anything else! Please send them in and we will show them later.
:03:13. > :03:15.Exciting times this weekend for Friends of the Earth macro. The
:03:16. > :03:21.Coxless Crew rowing across the Pacific and are due to land in
:03:22. > :03:28.Australia in a few hours, making them the first to complete the
:03:29. > :03:34.journey. Genuinely brilliant achievement. I don't know how they
:03:35. > :03:41.managed it. Rowing, I think! Don't want to be technical. They might not
:03:42. > :03:46.make the return journey quite like this man. Look at this. This is the
:03:47. > :03:51.extraordinary story of one man who wanted to get home so badly that he
:03:52. > :03:58.attempted to post himself from one side of the world to the other in a
:03:59. > :04:04.wooden crate like this one. The year was 1965, the place was Australia.
:04:05. > :04:09.20-year-old Brian Robson from Cardiff was one of a wave of 1.5
:04:10. > :04:16.million British people who emigrated in search of a better life. We have
:04:17. > :04:19.brought Brian to his childhood home to hear his incredible story and
:04:20. > :04:26.find out why he yearned to come back here. As a single guy, it was very
:04:27. > :04:33.difficult to make friends. Pubs closed at 6pm, there was nowhere to
:04:34. > :04:38.meet anybody. Did you not think of buying a ticket? It was impossible.
:04:39. > :04:43.50 years ago, the price of flying from Australia to the UK was ?300
:04:44. > :04:50.and the average salary was ?40 a month. One-day Brian spotted a
:04:51. > :04:55.slogan on the side of a removal truck. It said we can move you
:04:56. > :04:59.anywhere and I thought they could move me. Ridiculously, that is where
:05:00. > :05:02.the great game into it. Brian got the biggest break the airline would
:05:03. > :05:08.handle and got export documents to send it to the UK. This is an exact
:05:09. > :05:17.replica of your box. Less than one cubic metre. The inside. That's
:05:18. > :05:24.suddenly looks small. You cannot even sit up straight. No. Your knees
:05:25. > :05:30.have got to come up here like this. I spent 70% of the time sitting like
:05:31. > :05:38.this. Brian brought two bottles, one for drinking water and one for
:05:39. > :05:44.urinating, and a packet of biscuits. Sealed in his box without official
:05:45. > :05:50.dispensation, he landed an hour later, not delivered to London but
:05:51. > :05:55.Sydney. They immediately turned the box upside down and left it, so I
:05:56. > :06:00.was standing on my head. I had headaches. 22 hours later, much to
:06:01. > :06:06.my relief, the crate was rolled onto the right way up. The freight planes
:06:07. > :06:11.were not pressurised, but luckily for Brian there was enough oxygen to
:06:12. > :06:15.keep him alive. More worrying was the realisation that the air freight
:06:16. > :06:21.did not fly straight to its destination, but shuffled from one
:06:22. > :06:28.airport to another over many days. Every joint was swollen, the pain
:06:29. > :06:31.was excruciating. My worst thought was they would have a problem with
:06:32. > :06:38.the aircraft and just throw the crate out with me in it. How would
:06:39. > :06:42.you describe your mental state? At the time, nothing seemed real. I was
:06:43. > :06:50.talking to myself and other people that did not exist. To be honest, I
:06:51. > :06:53.thought I would die. Yes. I was quite
:06:54. > :06:57.thought I would die. Yes. I was breath. Brian endured the torment
:06:58. > :07:04.for four days and 8000 miles until finally his crate was unloaded. I
:07:05. > :07:08.had a torch and I wanted to know the time. I turned the torch and dropped
:07:09. > :07:13.it and the beam of light was shining out through the slats in the crate.
:07:14. > :07:21.There were two guys walking along and one of them saw the light. I
:07:22. > :07:25.said, my goodness, I am not in the UK, because they were speaking in an
:07:26. > :07:30.American accent. You can imagine their shock and mine. We were
:07:31. > :07:34.looking into each other's eyes. When he emerged from the crate, Brian was
:07:35. > :07:43.in Los Angeles and at the centre of a media storm. Did you have a chair
:07:44. > :07:51.in the box? No, just 39 inches by 29 by 33, I believe. Brian made it back
:07:52. > :07:56.to the UK on a first-class flight courtesy of Pan Am. What went
:07:57. > :08:00.through your mind while you were in the crate? Thinking of home and
:08:01. > :08:05.hoping I would get here mainly. Today Brian's story is set to amaze
:08:06. > :08:10.people all over again. He has written a screenplay that will be
:08:11. > :08:16.made into a feature film. Four days in a crate changed Brian's life for
:08:17. > :08:21.ever. Isn't that incredible! When you are six feet seven, that is like
:08:22. > :08:28.every flight you ever take! Well, we have unpacked Carrie Grant and she
:08:29. > :08:36.is ready to go. You have done some maths. Brian Robson boxed himself up
:08:37. > :08:41.and posted himself so we have calculated what it costs to send you
:08:42. > :08:49.from Melbourne back to the studio. Tempting! We valued Chris at ?1
:08:50. > :09:00.million. And freight flight would be ?7,554. Almost worth it! Richard, we
:09:01. > :09:06.valued you at ?18.50. Fair enough! If I had a moustache I would be
:09:07. > :09:14.worth more. But it would only cost ?897. To sit in a crate? Yes,
:09:15. > :09:19.please. In each of those cases it is cheaper to get a flight. But a
:09:20. > :09:26.better story if you post yourself. Traumatic beyond words, but a
:09:27. > :09:36.feature film. Mainly close-up? Brian is not the only human who has posted
:09:37. > :09:43.himself. In 1815, Henry Box Brown, born into slavery in Virginia. His
:09:44. > :09:47.family, wife and children are taken to another plantation and he is
:09:48. > :09:51.heartbroken. The only way out he can see is to escape to Philadelphia,
:09:52. > :09:59.free State, where he will be a free man, so he boxes himself up, he goes
:10:00. > :10:05.on a wagon, Steamboat, rail. This is a terrible journey. He arrives at
:10:06. > :10:10.the Anti-slavery Society's head office. They open the box and he
:10:11. > :10:15.says, how do you do, gentlemen? Imagine if they had not been there
:10:16. > :10:22.and he had been left with a neighbour! I am having this!
:10:23. > :10:27.Speaking of people putting themselves in boxes, we have a
:10:28. > :10:31.little game. Brian Robson spent four days in a box this big. Chris, can
:10:32. > :10:36.you see anyone in our audience who would be good at fitting into a box
:10:37. > :10:43.that be? There are some smaller people. While you are looking, I
:10:44. > :10:51.don't mean this box. Someone in our audience would fit into this box!
:10:52. > :10:55.And because it is television, you know we are going to make them do it
:10:56. > :11:06.as well. Is it the lady in the Hunter wellingtons? It is not. One
:11:07. > :11:13.more guess? Are you standing on a step or are you really that tall?
:11:14. > :11:24.Right at the back. The tallest guy apart from me in the whole room? Why
:11:25. > :11:31.not? Quite. Can we please welcome Delia? It was the one in the
:11:32. > :11:36.contortionist outfit! This spangly outfit was the giveaway. Do not try
:11:37. > :11:40.this at home. Delia is a professional from the contortionist
:11:41. > :11:59.school, very difficult to get into. Do not try this at home. Oh, no!
:12:00. > :12:33.There she goes! Delia! How about that?
:12:34. > :12:42.We are now going to leave her there for half an hour and watch a film!
:12:43. > :12:52.Have you got the key? No! That was brilliant, wasn't it? Thank you so
:12:53. > :13:03.much, Delia. Somebody let her out! She is fine, just fine. She has got
:13:04. > :13:07.to get to Melbourne cheaply. Now, we wanted to show you this patchy. It
:13:08. > :13:10.might look small but it could be a British breakthrough in solving one
:13:11. > :13:18.of the most pressing problems for medical science. This is Oakley. He
:13:19. > :13:23.suffered burns to his body when he was scolded by a cup of coffee. When
:13:24. > :13:28.he got a fever, doctors couldn't tell if it was an infection of the
:13:29. > :13:31.wound or something else. There is no way of telling without taking off
:13:32. > :13:35.the dressing which in itself is painful and can lead to lifelong
:13:36. > :13:42.scarring. What do they do? Administer antibiotics. The possible
:13:43. > :13:46.overuse of antibiotics this way can lead to antibiotic resistance, one
:13:47. > :13:49.of the biggest problems facing the world today. What if doctors had a
:13:50. > :13:55.better way of knowing if antibiotics were needed in the first place? We
:13:56. > :13:59.need a wound dressing that can be applied directly to burns patients
:14:00. > :14:04.and can give early warning if the wound is infected or not. This would
:14:05. > :14:08.be an uninfected wound. When it becomes infected, you can see here
:14:09. > :14:13.the simulated infection becomes bright, fluorescent green. Bacteria
:14:14. > :14:18.within the wound might reach identity, and then they secrete
:14:19. > :14:21.small toxins which damage your skin, but also they burst open tiny
:14:22. > :14:26.capsules inside the dressing releasing the diet, which is what
:14:27. > :14:33.you can see. Classically, a patient would come into the doctor's, maybe
:14:34. > :14:37.with a burn, and the doctor would reasonably prescribe antibiotics.
:14:38. > :14:42.The problem is most of those patients might not have an infection
:14:43. > :14:46.which would mean unnecessary antibiotics. As an exports man I am
:14:47. > :14:53.no stranger to injuries and wounds. I am going to meet a doctor from a
:14:54. > :14:58.children's hospital to find out how this is put into practice. With this
:14:59. > :15:02.be good for you as a doctor? Fantastic. I can look at the
:15:03. > :15:06.dressing, see if it is turning green, and say I am worried they
:15:07. > :15:11.have an infection. But if it is not turning green, we don't need to give
:15:12. > :15:15.a painful dressing change or intravenous antibiotics. I'm
:15:16. > :15:18.confident this is the way forward. Developing new antibiotics is hugely
:15:19. > :15:21.costly and we need to save antibiotics were when they are
:15:22. > :15:25.really needed and not overuse them and not over treat children with
:15:26. > :15:29.temperatures because they have got a sore throat. We need to treat the
:15:30. > :15:34.children with serious burn wound infections, targeting that
:15:35. > :15:38.treatment, using this new dressing. It is so clear from everybody I have
:15:39. > :15:42.chatted to today that this patch is needed and needed now, which in
:15:43. > :15:48.itself is a shame, because in reality it is a few years away yet.
:15:49. > :15:56.At least it's on its way. Chris, we spoke about your moustache earlier,
:15:57. > :16:07.it's all for a good reason. You are about to perform at the Royal Opera
:16:08. > :16:11.House in L'Etoile. Oui. You have no experience of opera or Theatre, how
:16:12. > :16:16.did this happen? I wrote a piece in the paper last year that was
:16:17. > :16:21.basically about loving opera. Roughly that time the upper house
:16:22. > :16:25.were looking for somebody... They have two part in this particular
:16:26. > :16:29.opera that are non-singing, they wanted a French and British comic
:16:30. > :16:34.actor and because I'd written that piece, clearly, I would do it for
:16:35. > :16:42.less money than others. And here I am talking to you. Non-singing part.
:16:43. > :16:50.Yeah. We were talking about doing lip-synched opera. It's a good
:16:51. > :16:56.concept, we might do some in a bid to won. It would be car crash
:16:57. > :17:01.television. Is it different to television, doing something with a
:17:02. > :17:05.big stage? This beautiful auditorium, and a world I don't
:17:06. > :17:09.know. You know when you walk into a world and everybody else understands
:17:10. > :17:16.what's going on? And you don't understand. You look like you are
:17:17. > :17:21.properly in an opera. That is when I had a beard instead of this
:17:22. > :17:24.ridiculous moustache. That is me and my French compatriot waiting for me
:17:25. > :17:32.at the door during the overture of this thing. We are through the whole
:17:33. > :17:37.opera bickering French and English couple, who get drawn into the
:17:38. > :17:41.opera. Operas have complicated plots, does this? This is more
:17:42. > :17:55.compensated than any plot I have ever... Give us an idea. The mad
:17:56. > :18:00.King Ouf is wandering around his city looking for somebody to impale
:18:01. > :18:03.as a birthday treat. He can't find anybody. Meanwhile there is a bunch
:18:04. > :18:12.of people travelling from another land, one is Ambassador porcupine
:18:13. > :18:15.hedgehog, that is how it translates, he's bringing a princess to marry
:18:16. > :18:23.him, but he's disguised as his wife. His wife is with him, in disguise as
:18:24. > :18:28.his secretary's wife. The love interest comes in, the poor peddler
:18:29. > :18:31.boy, who sees the princess but thinks she's married and is
:18:32. > :18:41.therefore really upset and slaps the King. He's about to be impaled when
:18:42. > :18:47.astrologer turns up. Good old astrologer. From there it gets quite
:18:48. > :18:55.complicated. Lots of spoiler alert. Opera has been a long love of yours?
:18:56. > :19:01.I got into it in my late 20s. I heard a tune I really liked, that I
:19:02. > :19:05.heard a lot in my life, from Mozart opera The Magic Flute. I thought,
:19:06. > :19:08.what would happen if I listened to the rest. Turns out it's all great
:19:09. > :19:15.tunes, I loved it. It was my entry-level drug into the world of
:19:16. > :19:21.opera. It turns out, the thing about opera is, most people really like
:19:22. > :19:28.it. The three tenors were huge. They were big four years. Because people
:19:29. > :19:34.really like that stuff they sold loads of albums. Going to the opera
:19:35. > :19:38.is seeing those tunes live. That Ravi to is always on at the opera
:19:39. > :19:42.house, I guarantee you will spend the first 20 minutes going, I know
:19:43. > :19:52.this one, I know that one. What is a good starting point if somebody is
:19:53. > :19:57.thinking about it? Le Traviata? I tell you why L'Etoile is a good one!
:19:58. > :20:02.The tunes are amazing, music is beautiful, catchy, funny, light. It
:20:03. > :20:07.is Barney, the production is a big pantomime as far as I can make out.
:20:08. > :20:14.The clincher is, it's short and you get a lot of time in the pub after.
:20:15. > :20:19.Perfect introduction. You can see Chris, a non-singing part, in
:20:20. > :20:26.L'Etoile through February at the Royal Opera House. Oui. A
:20:27. > :20:30.trailblazing British couple made history and headlines by being the
:20:31. > :20:34.first gay couple to legally father children. The children are old
:20:35. > :20:42.enough to tell their story, so Wendy paid the family visit. I'm Harry,
:20:43. > :20:47.this is Tony. This is Aspen and Saffron our 16-year-old twins and
:20:48. > :20:51.our son Orlando who is 12. This is Dallas and Jasper, our five-year-old
:20:52. > :20:58.twins. You have quite a big family, are we stopping there? I'd really
:20:59. > :21:02.like another daughter. I am way too old for that now. I'd always wanted
:21:03. > :21:07.to have a family but never thought it would be possible. It's never an
:21:08. > :21:13.easy ride, it's been really, really hard, but it's been the best thing
:21:14. > :21:18.ever. In 1999 when Aspen and Saffron were born, the family made headline
:21:19. > :21:22.news. Two British men have made legal history by becoming joint
:21:23. > :21:25.parents of twins born to a surrogate mother in California. Having
:21:26. > :21:29.penetrated their 16th birthday the twins are at an age where they can
:21:30. > :21:32.affect on their upbringing with the parents they called dad and daddy.
:21:33. > :21:38.How does your dad relationship tween the two of them, compared to your
:21:39. > :21:43.friends parents... Lots of my friends parents are divorced,
:21:44. > :21:47.whereas my dads have been together 28 years. They love each other. In
:21:48. > :21:52.what ways do you think dad and daddy are doing a good job? Don't think
:21:53. > :21:55.they could do any better, managed to bring up five children. A lot of
:21:56. > :22:00.people thought they wouldn't be able to do it and they've proved everyone
:22:01. > :22:07.wrong. They give us what we need every time we needed. What do you
:22:08. > :22:14.need? Water and food. Very smart, very good choice. 40 years,
:22:15. > :22:17.Professor Susan at the University of Cambridge has studied the impact of
:22:18. > :22:22.being raised in a nontraditional family. It's often assumed children
:22:23. > :22:30.in gay father families will have problems. We found gay men are just
:22:31. > :22:33.as capable at being loving, nurturing parents. What does differ
:22:34. > :22:38.is the way they are treated by people outside the family. Have you
:22:39. > :22:42.ever had negative comments about your family set up at school? My dad
:22:43. > :22:48.got comments from other parents and stuff like that. They weren't really
:22:49. > :22:53.liked by other parents. Why did people react like that? I'm not
:22:54. > :22:57.sure, I think it's just because they are gay and different and people
:22:58. > :23:01.didn't really like different. Do you think you are missing out not having
:23:02. > :23:04.a mum? I don't know, I've not had a mum to compare.
:23:05. > :23:11.I have the same relationship with my daddy coming he likes shopping, I
:23:12. > :23:16.like shopping, he likes getting his hair done, I like getting my hair
:23:17. > :23:20.done, he liked everything I like. It's often thought children with gay
:23:21. > :23:24.parents will themselves grow up to be gay, what we know so far is that
:23:25. > :23:28.sexual orientation of parents has very little bearing on sexual
:23:29. > :23:32.orientation of their children. What do you say to people concerned if
:23:33. > :23:37.you are brought up by two gay dads you are more likely to be gay. It's
:23:38. > :23:40.not true, being brought up by gay dad doesn't make you gay or
:23:41. > :23:43.straight, you are what you are. Both my parents were brought up by
:23:44. > :23:47.straight parents and they are not straight. If people said you will
:23:48. > :23:52.turn out like your dad is, what will you say? I'd say something like,
:23:53. > :23:59.what? Happy, successful, rich? Something like that. In the Druitt
:24:00. > :24:04.Barlow family some of the children are genetically related to one dad,
:24:05. > :24:08.some to the other dad. This is such a new phenomenon that there hasn't
:24:09. > :24:14.yet been any research about it. Dallas, who are you most like, dad
:24:15. > :24:21.or daddy? Dad. What about the rest of you? Daddy. I think I am more
:24:22. > :24:27.like dad. I don't know who I look like. Do you know which one of you
:24:28. > :24:31.is genetically related to which one? They would tell us if we wanted to
:24:32. > :24:35.but I don't think any of us want to know that, I just want to know I
