:00:18. > :00:25.Hello and welcome to the programme. If you have recently bought a car,
:00:26. > :00:30.have you checked you have a spare tyre? It may well be worth checking
:00:31. > :00:34.because you might be shocked to hear more than 50% of cars come with a
:00:35. > :00:39.sealant kit like this one instead of a spare tyre. We have put both
:00:40. > :00:43.methods to the test this afternoon and we will give you the results are
:00:44. > :00:47.little bit later. Speaking of spare tyre, back in 90s
:00:48. > :00:53.everybody had them. Including tonight's guest.
:00:54. > :01:01.The thing about the human body is, as we know, is that it is a temple.
:01:02. > :01:08.Yes. It is just that my temple seems to have grown into a slightly larger
:01:09. > :01:17.temple. With a big wobbly dome. Please welcome Neil Morrissey.
:01:18. > :01:24.You are blowing out that. It was a prostatic. It had to be measured. At
:01:25. > :01:30.the time, I have actually got one out, back in the day I didn't. I was
:01:31. > :01:42.too skinny. It had a very natural wobble to it. That was quite
:01:43. > :01:46.intimate. Your role as Tony, that was huge for your career, when
:01:47. > :01:50.things really took off. Do you still miss it? I never missed it when we
:01:51. > :01:54.finished it, but it is great. You are not given much transfer it to be
:01:55. > :02:04.out in the general psyche. Are always talking about it. 15 years?
:02:05. > :02:08.We are going to be talking about it later on. You are going to be
:02:09. > :02:15.working with one of your co-stars again and we will find out who.
:02:16. > :02:20.We will be meeting the daughter Fred Basset's creator.
:02:21. > :02:26.He was the cartoon hound who was almost human, beautiful pictures.
:02:27. > :02:31.We will call all Basset Hound owners tonight, we want your real-life Fred
:02:32. > :02:35.Bassets and give us a line on what you think they might be thinking. It
:02:36. > :02:43.doesn't have to be an actual Basset Hound, any hound dog will do. Send
:02:44. > :02:49.them in to the address. We will show as many as we can.
:02:50. > :02:56.Men Behaving Badly's Tony and Gary were famous for their flippant
:02:57. > :02:59.sexist remarks. It was all for the art of comedy, of course. But the
:03:00. > :03:03.topic of sexism has been all over the papers recently for more serious
:03:04. > :03:09.reasons. We said first-time reporter Margherita Taylor onto the streets
:03:10. > :03:13.to find out what you think what is or isn't acceptable.
:03:14. > :03:15.This week Premier League chief Richard Skidmore has been in the
:03:16. > :03:21.spotlight for the sexist content of some of his e-mails and it seems
:03:22. > :03:29.sexist behaviour in the workplace and social situations and right here
:03:30. > :03:33.on the street is still rife. What actually constitutes sexist
:03:34. > :03:37.behaviour and is this charming young man qualifier as the worst
:03:38. > :03:43.offender? You are looking good. Don't worry, he's only an actor. I
:03:44. > :03:50.love Frenchwoman, beautiful. When people shout out in the streets, you
:03:51. > :03:55.have got good legs, it is very in there were a group of men in a
:03:56. > :04:02.senior position to me saying are you single? Now you are. Do you want to
:04:03. > :04:05.come home with me. People comment on the way I am dressed in the
:04:06. > :04:09.workplace, there have been some inappropriate remarks. According to
:04:10. > :04:11.journalists Laura Bates far more serious forms of sexism are on the
:04:12. > :04:15.increase. It is a problem that is so
:04:16. > :04:19.widespread it seems to be infiltrating so many different
:04:20. > :04:22.areas. The highest number of reports that we receive come from women in
:04:23. > :04:26.the workplace. After that it has been women experiencing harassment
:04:27. > :04:31.in public spaces, often in the street, we are not talking about a
:04:32. > :04:35.woman who walks into the office and her male colleague, and a jacket, we
:04:36. > :04:43.are talking about a woman being told to sit on her last's rabbit she
:04:44. > :04:47.wants a Christmas bonus. We are opening the door to the same kind of
:04:48. > :04:51.ideas and attitudes about women that underlies some of the more serious
:04:52. > :04:54.abuses further down the line. It is time to start taking some of these
:04:55. > :05:00.things which are brushed off as banter more seriously. Do you think
:05:01. > :05:04.sexism still exists? And did the centre stop definitely. Obviously
:05:05. > :05:14.not paid as much as the guys, more of a struggle. A few places where I
:05:15. > :05:23.have worked, I have seen it. There might be a degree of risque jokes.
:05:24. > :05:28.Where does being a gentleman and holding old moral values border into
:05:29. > :05:33.being sexist? Wanting to pay for dinner. You offered to pick
:05:34. > :05:37.something up, carry something, they see that as being sexist.
:05:38. > :05:42.It is depends in the environment, how they see it, how it is aimed at
:05:43. > :05:46.you, about the tone and expression. You look absolutely beautiful today.
:05:47. > :05:54.Where did you get your necklace from? It is George Jensen. You look
:05:55. > :05:57.beautiful. I thought it was a charming, and forth from an
:05:58. > :06:03.individual, I didn't related to a male type of comment. I would rather
:06:04. > :06:07.go about my everyday life and not feel people are judging me for the
:06:08. > :06:14.way I look at the way I am dressed. There is a fine line, it blows quite
:06:15. > :06:19.a lot. It is hard to say what is one and what is demeaning. -- what is
:06:20. > :06:24.fun. I think it is the feeling you get
:06:25. > :06:29.when a comment is put to you. That is nice to see her on the one show.
:06:30. > :06:31.Where do you think the lines are and are the lines are and other roles
:06:32. > :06:37.different in comedy? It is difficult. Individuals are so
:06:38. > :06:41.different, it is kind of how you perceive what would be sexist or
:06:42. > :06:46.not. I don't think what we were doing in Men Behaving Badly was
:06:47. > :06:51.sexist. The show was run by a very powerful woman in our industry. She
:06:52. > :06:56.has probably suffered more of that sexist attitude and she was coming
:06:57. > :07:01.through the business genius, an amazing woman. She wouldn't have had
:07:02. > :07:04.sexism in the show. In terms of where does the ban to stop and the
:07:05. > :07:12.sexism start? Asking somebody to sit on your need to get their Christmas
:07:13. > :07:15.bonus is a bit off. I have spoken to girls who have loved it when they
:07:16. > :07:19.have been wolf whistled by builders on the way into work. On woman in a
:07:20. > :07:24.film that Martin Claims Director and I got wolf whistled and I thought it
:07:25. > :07:30.was quite nice. -- Martin claims directed. Some of the crew did like
:07:31. > :07:36.to come up and grab me, I didn't like that. It was quite strange
:07:37. > :07:44.playing a woman and the men were coming on to me as if I was a real
:07:45. > :07:50.woman. The make-up girl who was on the show talked to me like I was a
:07:51. > :07:54.woman. Talking about various things like gentlemen's packages work
:07:55. > :08:04.discussed. Where do you draw the line? We also love banter. And men,
:08:05. > :08:06.when they get together, are going to have conversations that they
:08:07. > :08:14.wouldn't have in front of women. Same as girls, by the way. Yes, it
:08:15. > :08:17.depends on the individual and how comfortable you are with the
:08:18. > :08:21.compliments presented to you. If you can take it as banter.
:08:22. > :08:25.That is where we will draw a line under it. You have to be careful not
:08:26. > :08:29.to come across as being sexist. Our next film is all about cars and the
:08:30. > :08:38.modern ways of changing attire. It is perfect for... Everyone.
:08:39. > :08:43.It is every motorists might work, a puncher that leaves you stranded
:08:44. > :08:48.miles from the nearest garage, but it is OK, you have got a spare. Look
:08:49. > :08:51.in the boot of most modern cars and you will not find a spare tyre any
:08:52. > :08:59.more, it is more likely to be one of these. A sealant repair kit. Since
:09:00. > :09:04.the spare tyre was first introduced back in 1904, it has been a mainstay
:09:05. > :09:10.of motoring. One recent survey found half of all new cars are sold with a
:09:11. > :09:14.sealant kit instead. Bruce Ellis, a technician for a sealant
:09:15. > :09:17.manufacturer, explains why. If you have to replace the tyre, it is
:09:18. > :09:22.cold, dark, raining, that means have to replace the tyre, it is
:09:23. > :09:26.getting all the tools out, you have got to take the old one off, Jack
:09:27. > :09:27.the vehicle, the advantage of having a sealant system is
:09:28. > :09:31.the vehicle, the advantage of having introduce the sealant without having
:09:32. > :09:33.to take the tyre off. So we are going to give the sealant
:09:34. > :09:35.to take the tyre off. to go. Off to mechanics School for a
:09:36. > :09:41.lesson. Steve to go. Off to mechanics School for a
:09:42. > :09:47.motoring college in high Wycombe. We now have a flat tire. It is up to
:09:48. > :09:52.you. Let's see how it works. I have, kit,, time to give it a go. -- I
:09:53. > :10:03.have got my kit. It doesn't seem to be going in, it
:10:04. > :10:11.just seems to be going in. I have got an idea first put my finger over
:10:12. > :10:14.it, see how I get on. It has been 20 minutes, I have had to keep my
:10:15. > :10:19.finger of the puncher. We have now got to drive two miles at 30 mph to
:10:20. > :10:22.get it to set, check the tyre pressure again to make sure it is
:10:23. > :10:29.safe to continue. It is still not over yet? It is not over yet.
:10:30. > :10:35.Time to hit the road. After a quick spin, has the sealant done its job?
:10:36. > :10:41.It seems to have plug the gap, this is very much a temporary fix.
:10:42. > :10:45.Absolutely, yes. It is just designed to get you a very short distance to
:10:46. > :10:50.get a new tyre fitted. It seems to have done the trick, but
:10:51. > :10:56.what do other motorists think? Would they go for the sealant over a
:10:57. > :11:00.spare? Are you happy with a spare or would you prefer one of these
:11:01. > :11:04.newfangled repair kits? I like the spare. You know what you have got.
:11:05. > :11:08.With the repair kits I don't know if they work properly. Do you know if
:11:09. > :11:13.you have got a spare tyre? I have got one of those fluid things. How
:11:14. > :11:15.long Jews reckon it would take you to fix your tie with one of them?
:11:16. > :11:20.Ages. They are supposed to be quick to use
:11:21. > :11:25.and by not carrying a heavy spare the car will be lighter, which helps
:11:26. > :11:31.the manufacturers meet their EU emission targets. Sounds like a good
:11:32. > :11:34.idea. But lots of recovery services like the RSC, they have seen a
:11:35. > :11:41.massive rise in call-outs to vehicles without a spare tyre.
:11:42. > :11:47.Getting busier, month on month. You are a specialist just doing tyres.
:11:48. > :11:59.Yes. Last year the RAC dealt with 93,000 tyre breakdowns, and reckon
:12:00. > :12:05.that figure will rise. How long have you had this car? About ten weeks.
:12:06. > :12:09.Nobody told me it didn't come with a spare tyre and nobody informed me
:12:10. > :12:14.about this. How do you feel about that? I am quite angry. The puncher
:12:15. > :12:17.was in the shoulder of the tyre where it is not suitable to use the
:12:18. > :12:24.sealant to repair it as it could be dangerous. It may do its job, the
:12:25. > :12:28.tyre will reinflate and be perfectly serviceable but drive on that and
:12:29. > :12:31.with every rotation where the weight of the vehicle is transferred, that
:12:32. > :12:36.perforation will be flexing, and that whole could be getting larger
:12:37. > :12:40.or a split appearing, that could effectively blow out at motorway
:12:41. > :12:46.speed. It is a ticking time bomb. How much of this tyre could be
:12:47. > :12:55.repaired by the sealant? 73 -- the centre three quarters. Any damage
:12:56. > :12:59.other side, you can't. You can't figure out easily exactly when to
:13:00. > :13:02.use it and if you get it wrong the consequences can be extremely
:13:03. > :13:08.dangerous. It is easy to see why are a lot of people do not like them.
:13:09. > :13:12.I think we had a better time. What is this sealant and how does it work
:13:13. > :13:16.in the tyre? It is like a milky, rubber solution
:13:17. > :13:20.and that coats the inside of the tyre. But you need the air pressure
:13:21. > :13:24.to be up for that to happen. When I was doing it, I couldn't get enough
:13:25. > :13:27.air pressure in so had to put my finger over the whole.
:13:28. > :13:33.This is only suitable for a percentage of punctures? What have
:13:34. > :13:38.Ford said? They said the majority of punctures
:13:39. > :13:44.occur within that zone where you can use the sealant. If you get it on
:13:45. > :13:49.the wall it is not safe to use, you could end up with a blow out.
:13:50. > :13:55.Earlier on we had a bullied afternoon of changing tyres. --
:13:56. > :13:58.brilliant afternoon. One the traditional way, the other the
:13:59. > :14:01.sealant. To see which would be quicker and more effective. This is
:14:02. > :14:09.the old-fashioned way. We replaced it with a spare safety
:14:10. > :14:13.tyre. You can't do this beats you can with normal title. It is
:14:14. > :14:17.temporary. Quite good, six and a half minutes. You can't go more than
:14:18. > :14:22.about 50 miles an hour but it will get you where you need to go.
:14:23. > :14:28.Then we tried the sealant kit and this is how that went. It took
:14:29. > :14:31.awhile to figure out where it was. It was quite easy, the instructions
:14:32. > :14:39.were easy. After about ten minutes it did finally pump the tyre.
:14:40. > :14:44.A lot of that time was spent reading the manual. How do you do it? Such
:14:45. > :14:49.new technology. In the right place. If I was my own in the rain I would
:14:50. > :14:55.the sealant kit. But if you were in the wilds of Scotland. In the rain
:14:56. > :14:59.and the dark and you get a hole in the side of your tyre, you are there
:15:00. > :15:03.all night. With a small spare like that you are on your way in six
:15:04. > :15:07.minutes. I think even if I was buying a new car I would get a spare
:15:08. > :15:12.as an optional extra. I prefer the spare.
:15:13. > :15:14.Now, many creatures are named because of their colourings,
:15:15. > :15:22.And of course there's the great white shark, the red squirrel, the
:15:23. > :15:25.pink Amazon river dolphin, the grey squirrel, the brown bear, the red
:15:26. > :15:32.panda, the black widow, the bluetit, the yellowhammer, the bluebottle
:15:33. > :15:36.fly, the red-bellied water snake, the blue linkia sea star, the red
:15:37. > :15:39.kite, the grey wolf, the blue whale, the red setter, the black mamba.
:15:40. > :15:41.Well, Mike Dilger went to meet the imaginatively-named green lizard.
:15:42. > :15:57.I've seen my fair share of native British lizards, but there is one
:15:58. > :16:02.species I have yet to encounter. Here on Jersey is the only place in
:16:03. > :16:07.the entire British Isles the native population of the green lizard.
:16:08. > :16:11.Jersey Royal presents the north-western edge of the green
:16:12. > :16:20.lizard's range in Europe. As cold-blooded creatures, they need to
:16:21. > :16:23.warm up for becoming active. Because of the glorious sunshine, it isn't
:16:24. > :16:37.long before we see one warming up will stop looks just down here. It's
:16:38. > :16:41.a female. She is vague! She still has the stripes she would have had
:16:42. > :16:51.when she was a youngster will stop green lizard is a remarkably
:16:52. > :16:57.accurate name. Grass green. And between her rear legs, a brown patch
:16:58. > :17:09.called a meeting scarf. This time of year, it is meeting time. Being
:17:10. > :17:14.amongst the largest lizards in Europe, the average male can reach a
:17:15. > :17:23.length of 40 centimetres, and the male is distinct view different to
:17:24. > :17:27.the female. The males are very spectacular at this time of year.
:17:28. > :17:35.They have a blue chin to impress the girls. Thanks to legislation brought
:17:36. > :17:40.in to protect them, the green lizard population is now reasonably
:17:41. > :17:48.healthy. We are probably talking about thousands. And particularly
:17:49. > :17:52.here on the maritime heathlands. There are lots of insects they can
:17:53. > :18:00.feed on. And islanders are also doing their bit to help the lizards
:18:01. > :18:07.thrive. One location on the east and is receiving a helping hand in a
:18:08. > :18:08.rather unusual way. This golf course had to include habitat for
:18:09. > :18:14.lizards as part of their planning permission. But they've gone a few
:18:15. > :18:25.steps further to help. Beneath one of the Tees, they have built an area
:18:26. > :18:32.where the lizards can live all year round. So they can hibernate here
:18:33. > :18:37.and nest and lay their eggs? Yes. The actual
:18:38. > :18:40.and nest and lay their eggs? Yes. the bank. What's you see on the
:18:41. > :18:45.outside is the granite edge to it so that the lizards can bathe in the
:18:46. > :18:52.sun. Then there are tubes going in which are packed full of woodchip to
:18:53. > :19:00.try to make a bedding area. What are the golfers say? Do they say they
:19:01. > :19:07.see them? I normally get photos sent to me as well. Around the coast,
:19:08. > :19:16.other islanders have also been making adaptations. Penny Fogerty
:19:17. > :19:22.has done just that. The lizards have always been here, so I garden
:19:23. > :19:38.carefully to encourage them. I don't want to disturb their burrows or
:19:39. > :19:41.their sunbathing rock. To have a wild beautiful animal choosing to
:19:42. > :19:45.live in your garden is precious. I am privileged to have them. If I was
:19:46. > :19:54.witty confident, am privileged to have them. If I was
:19:55. > :20:03.confident, but I didn't think I would use six inches from them.
:20:04. > :20:16.Absolutely brilliant. The new reptile in the top day.
:20:17. > :20:25.Beautiful. We mentioned earlier on that you were going to be reunited
:20:26. > :20:35.with one of your Men Behaving Badly co-stars, Caroline Quentin. You play
:20:36. > :20:43.a butler in your new play with her. Are you a posh butler? It is a sort
:20:44. > :20:46.of Kentish accident, but when he is working with the aristocracy, he
:20:47. > :20:55.mimics them, so it is a mixture of the two. You haven't done a lot of
:20:56. > :21:04.posh in the past. I don't get cast posh, I don't know why! Generally,
:21:05. > :21:09.theatre will give you more leeway than they do on television. There
:21:10. > :21:17.are enough posh people about anyway. None in this room! The show is on at
:21:18. > :21:25.the moment, so it is a struggle for you to get in there. I had less than
:21:26. > :21:32.two weeks to rehearse and get it white. Caroline was happy for me to
:21:33. > :21:39.practice lines with her. The cast is a proper little family. I had the
:21:40. > :21:44.script for a couple of weeks before I started rehearsing, and in that
:21:45. > :21:48.fortnight of rehearsals, no rehearsals on Thursday, none on
:21:49. > :21:54.Saturday, and you don't work on a Sunday, so if you take off those
:21:55. > :21:59.four days out of 14, I've had not very much rehearsal time at all.
:22:00. > :22:08.Some seismologists in Leeds and feel me trembling will stop going back to
:22:09. > :22:18.the play, it was originally staged back in 1951. Give us the
:22:19. > :22:24.background. It was written in 1951. The era is a clash between Clement
:22:25. > :22:33.Attlee and Churchill. And there was the great exhibition. So it is a
:22:34. > :22:41.clash of aristocracy in the house, and it turns out that the clean-up,
:22:42. > :22:48.Caroline, the chief has made -- house made, is the girl who his
:22:49. > :22:54.Lordship is going to marry is her little sister who comes from a
:22:55. > :23:00.common background. So there is that attitude all around. It is complex.
:23:01. > :23:06.If there anybody is coming to see it, they can work it out.
:23:07. > :23:10.You can see Neil in Relative Values at the Harold Pinter Theatre from
:23:11. > :23:31.Neil, are you a fan of newspaper comic strips?
:23:32. > :23:44.My father was Alec Graham, the creator of Fred Bassett. He is the
:23:45. > :23:50.hand who is almost human. It started in 1963 when I was 14 or so. Dad was
:23:51. > :23:55.asked to do this strip by the Daily Mail. The problem was that he
:23:56. > :24:01.actually couldn't draw the dog very well, said the Daily Mail bought him
:24:02. > :24:11.his first Bassett hound, a little girl called Frida. And then my
:24:12. > :24:17.parents bought another one, Frida too.
:24:18. > :24:26.Father's day was regimented. It was the way he worked for him. Never
:24:27. > :24:30.worked in the afternoon. He worked in the morning and then after T he
:24:31. > :24:32.would go out again, and he would be thinking up ideas. Wednesdays and
:24:33. > :24:45.Sundays were golf days. When I was young, I spent a lot of
:24:46. > :24:50.time down here at the golf club, being blown about as we are today. I
:24:51. > :24:55.would play with my dad. The golf club was a wonderful source of ideas
:24:56. > :25:02.for dad. I don't think we were really conscious that that was
:25:03. > :25:08.observing us. Taking us into his cartoon strips. My teenage years
:25:09. > :25:20.were well documented. Dad did this series in punk, Daughter in the
:25:21. > :25:21.House. Parents who have overnight it seems seen their daughter
:25:22. > :25:27.transformed from a lumpish schoolgirl into a sophisticated and
:25:28. > :25:34.beautiful young lady will know what this book is about. I do have a
:25:35. > :25:37.favourite in here, it is of the father walking around upstairs in
:25:38. > :25:43.his underpants, and the daughter saying, I think it is disgusting. I
:25:44. > :25:50.must have been quite a difficult daughter looking at this! These were
:25:51. > :25:58.my dad's ideas which were amazing. It took me many years to realise
:25:59. > :26:03.what this was, possibly OK. These were the doodles he did if he was
:26:04. > :26:06.out for dinner, doodling on table and menus and everything. This is
:26:07. > :26:19.how he worked out his drawings. Our house is full of wonderful
:26:20. > :26:23.paintings of my father's, all of the styles he went through over the
:26:24. > :26:30.years. He would always have his sketchbook. And when he came home he
:26:31. > :26:40.would paint. That is his self-portrait as a young man. It is
:26:41. > :26:46.very special to us now. And then his final painting, he didn't finish,
:26:47. > :26:54.when he died, this one up here. It was on his easel in his studio. Dad
:26:55. > :26:58.knew he wasn't well for some time, but he didn't tell us, he didn't
:26:59. > :27:04.tell mum, he had never been to the Dr in his life, and he wasn't going
:27:05. > :27:07.to go now. It was a big shock to us, an enormous shock, because he was
:27:08. > :27:11.active, bright, intelligent, filling every minute of his day with
:27:12. > :27:18.different things, and then suddenly he was gone. When he died, and we
:27:19. > :27:26.went to his studio, we discovered 18 months of strip is, an extraordinary
:27:27. > :27:31.amount. It enabled us to carry on, to find a new artist full up dad
:27:32. > :27:38.would often use the name of his friends, his local pubs, and we
:27:39. > :27:46.still carry this on. Our little dog, Gemma, has appeared, and she is
:27:47. > :27:49.vying for Fred's attention. The language, the humour, the
:27:50. > :27:57.gentleness, continues through. You can really sense
:27:58. > :28:01.carried on through his daughter. Earlier on,
:28:02. > :28:04.we asked for your pictures of Basset Neil, can you guess what
:28:05. > :28:29.these hounds are thinking? Charlie's dog, few go. -- Hugh. This
:28:30. > :28:41.is Bella. Here is a lovely one, he's got a little shoe in his mouth. This
:28:42. > :28:48.is a collie, but it has big dreams. And some gentle sarcasm.
:28:49. > :28:57.You can see him in Relative Values at the Harold Pinter Theatre
:28:58. > :28:59.in London from Monday through till June 21st.
