Hello and welcome to One Show with Angellica Bell. And Matt Baker. | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
Tonight's guest is shown he'll do whatever it takes to get big | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
interviews. He charmed Pavarotti by tracing his feet and buying him a | :00:31. | :00:39. | |
new pair of custom shoes. He waited seven hours for Paul McCartney. | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
# Live and let die. And insisted on composing a song about him before | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
they started. And he agreed to Barbara Cartland's demands to wear a | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
dinner jacket while listening to her dictating a novel to the secretary. | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
We just asked if he said yes. Melvyn Bragg, you are a pushover! That's an | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
interesting bunch of anecdotes to reminisce over. Which one do you | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
want to go for? I don't know where to start! Barbara Cartland was | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
wonderful. She was nearly deaf. Her famous remark was that she wrote | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
hundreds of novels and that she had cornered the market in virgins, | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
darling. So she said to you, but a dinner jacket on. Guess, but the | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
jacket on, put a tie on, and speak up because I'm deaf. She is a | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
smashing old lady, but I am sitting there shouting at her. My friends | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
didn't think I was a good job. She was great. She had thousands of | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
dresses and she said, would you like to have a look? It was like being in | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
a labyrinth of silk. I sort of got lost. I was putting my hand out and | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
saying, can somebody get me out of here? That is what it is like in | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
Alex's dressing room! Don't say that! The new 12 sided pound coin | :01:57. | :02:03. | |
was released into the wild three months ago, but there is a problem. | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
Many councils and companies are not ready to accept them. Andy has been | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
to visit some frustrated people who can't make head nor tail of the | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
situation. Britain's shiny new ?1 coin, | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
released with much pizzazz by the Royal Mint in March, but shortly | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
there will be hundreds of millions of them in circulation so you'd | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
imagine you'd be able to go anywhere and use them, even Britain's much | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
loved parking machines. Perhaps not everywhere. Not just yet. With up to | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
one quarter of the country's meter is still not upgraded to take the | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
new coin. Noble is causing exasperation across car parks. | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
That's despite a year's noticed for the owners, private and local | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
authority. Not in this one. Including Norwich council. This car | :03:02. | :03:08. | |
park is right under their noses. Can you believe it? The council sit | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
there in their big building and they can't get a machine to take the new | :03:11. | :03:18. | |
Queen's coins. The British parking association, which represents the | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
industry, suggests we all carry a range of coins. So you have to go to | :03:21. | :03:28. | |
a nearby restaurant... And what happened? I said I've got three new | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
pound coins, and they got any change? They emptied out their tips | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
jar to try and find old ones. Wright and see what they think of it at a | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
restaurant. On Saturday, it slows us down. Sometimes we don't have change | :03:44. | :03:51. | |
for people. And that's our fault! You can sometimes pay by mobile, but | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
it might cost more. So some drivers have tried other solutions. Like | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
Sheila from Dunbar in south-east Scotland. If I can get the kit | :03:59. | :04:06. | |
working, I'm going to chat to her. Hi, Sheila. She had money but the | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
machine rejected her new pound coins. I wrote a note stating my | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
intention to pay and I left it on the dashboard with the change in | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
full view for the attendant to see it. Great idea, but sadly it didn't | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
work. I came back to find a nice big parking ticket on my car. She | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
appealed and the charge was dropped, but the legal position for drivers | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
like her who don't have an old pound coin has yet to be tested in court. | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
The British parking association advises its members that it would be | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
unfair to penalised somebody in that position and they remind the car | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
park is that it's their responsibility to find some other | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
method of paying or to find a machine that actually works. Norwich | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
council says, with many metres already adjusted, it's done all it | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
can and is in a queue waiting for the remainder, but the British | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
parking association admits it's a problem everywhere, so what's taken | :05:04. | :05:11. | |
so long? To find out, I joined this man from the metric parking group, | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
who maintain parking meters for businesses and councils nationwide. | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
They are not responsible for the city centre car park but they do | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
have two micromachines left to convert in Norwich. What is the | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
mission this morning? We are on the way to one of our customers to | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
upgrade their machines to accept the new coins. About 16,000 machines | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
need upgrading. We have upgraded about 14,000. It is some months | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
since the introduction of the coin. While you still converting machines? | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
We wrote our customers last year. The delays were caused by customers | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
placing orders. The British parking association says the huge number of | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
machines needing to be adapted is unprecedented and they are aware of | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
the bedrock. In October, the old coins stop being legal tender. We | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
have arrived at Wroxham on the Norfolk Broads, where car park is | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
all resorting to desperate measures. In sync of it will go straight in. | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
And you just have the new coins? That's what I've got. How much do | :06:19. | :06:28. | |
you need?? ?1. With 1500 machines to sort out before October, when the | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
old pound coins are withdrawn, he is up against the clock. That wasn't | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
too bad, just under 15 minutes. Just the ticket. Let's hope we can get | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
the problem well and truly parked everywhere. Something has just | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
occurred to me. When we arrived, did we get a parking ticket? We didn't, | :06:48. | :06:56. | |
did we? No, we didn't. Good man, Andy. Let us know in the usual | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
places if you've had a problem spending a new pound coin and maybe | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
we will send Andy round. You cancel it out. Melvyn, you are hosting the | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
upcoming South Bank Awards, in its 21st year. We are going to talk | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
about the TV and music nominations in a moment, but give us a flavour | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
of the others. There is nothing like in the world. We have it in London | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
and it goes around the country. It is just the art, but ever since I | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
started the South Bank Show in the 70s, art included pop music, | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
classical music, television drama, west End drama, comedy as well as | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
literature and so on. All of those different people are under one roof | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
at the same time, and it's nice to see them in each other up and | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
wondering, who's that? Some energy! Who is that long-haired person? It's | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
not a museum, -- a musician, it's a pop museum. We have had wonderful | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
people make the awards. And people enjoy getting prizes. It's a good | :08:01. | :08:07. | |
time to be two or three things. It's a good time to see the best people | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
celebrated from this country right across the board. That's one of the | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
reasons I started the South Bank Show. Particularly now, it's a good | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
time, when people are thinking, with some reason, that life is terrible | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
so we have to concentrate on the serious things all the time, and one | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
of those of the arts, music, dancing, pleasure, Reading. That is | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
one of the serious things, so we are doing that kind of serious thing, | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
enjoyment and pleasure. Television is another category, and The Crown | :08:38. | :08:47. | |
is nominated alongside National Treasure and Happy Valley. I hereby | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
declare that I and my children shall be styled and known as the house and | :08:54. | :09:02. | |
family of Windsor. And that my descendants, other than female | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
descendants, and their descendants, shall bear the name of Windsor. | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
Well, The Crown was overlooked at the Baftas. You are in competition | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
and peoples views changed and they obviously thought that other things | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
were better. You take it on the chin. Because you are magnificent, | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
as The Crown is, it doesn't mean you are going to win. We were talking | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
about this earlier, but do you think that platforms like Netflix are | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
hindering or boosting television? I think the advancement of television | :09:42. | :09:43. | |
is extraordinary, and the new things that have come along are good. These | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
great long things on Netflix don't take anything away. Everybody is | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
willing to do this, that and the other, but a lot of the drama on | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
BBC, ITV, Sky and so on is better than it's ever been. It's in | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
terrific form. It doesn't work like that. We just think that one thing | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
wiped out another, but we are not built like that. Movies didn't wipe | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
out the theatre. Television didn't wipe out the movies. We go to all of | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
them. We are capable of doing a lot of things, hopping from one thing to | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
another. You have been looking at this in detail for a BBC Two | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
documentary, The Box That Changed The World. Talking of The Crown, | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
inspired by our Queen's rain, talk about communal viewing, and The Box | :10:30. | :10:36. | |
That Changed The World. It did. It is difficult in one respect, masses | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
of clips, archive clips that haven't been seen before, briefly, there has | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
been nothing ever in human history as powerful, I think, as the | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
invention of the television, as powerful to our senses and our | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
minds. We see things that our grandparents and great grandparents | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
never dreamt of seeing, they didn't dream work there, the top of | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
mountains, the bottom of oceans, the man on the moon, famine, war. They | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
are spectators, not participants. That's never happened. It's an | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
extraordinary feast of the world which we don't quite know how to | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
cope with, and I think it is enriching people to an extent that | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
we are hardly aware of it. People read this audience, each one of them | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
probably knows more, as access to more knowledge than the wisest | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
people in the world more than 100 years ago. You can see the Sky Arts | :11:28. | :11:39. | |
South Bank Awards later and that programme is on Saturday July the | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
1st on BBC Two. Yesterday we met Neil Robertson who found himself | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
addicted to online gaming and wanted to protect his six-year-old son from | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
making the same mistake. Today we see what happened when Neil met up | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
with gaming's most dedicated fans to see if they have answers for a | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
growing problem. As a professional sportsman, is Niall's personality to | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
be the best that has fuelled his gaming addiction, but he also feels | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
that game developers should do more to help people like him. The games I | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
have been most addicted to have been the ones that have played on my | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
adult -- on my emotions, ones that are very competitive. Some games out | :12:18. | :12:24. | |
there, when you log in, they say, game responsibly. I think there is | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
probably more that could go into the programming to make those more | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
obvious. Niall is keen to understand how best to manage the amount of | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
time that his six-year-old son spends playing video games, so what | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
do parents and kids at this gaming festival think? What happens when | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
mum says, you've got to get off? But I'm in the middle of a level! What | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
kind of things does your son safe when you tell him to come off? | :12:55. | :13:01. | |
Another hour? Are you worried it could become addicted? Yes, it's a | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
worry that it's so acceptable. If you just said no, all their friends | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
are doing it and they'd want it even more. I'm quite happy for him to go | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
on every day as long as it is limited. My pulls the plug. -- my | :13:15. | :13:22. | |
husband pulls the plug. There would be a time when this would accept | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
only 14th 18-year-olds and now we see people well into their adult | :13:27. | :13:33. | |
years. Do you manage your gaming time OK? I played a lot more games | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
in my teenage years and arguably I'd now say it is time well spent | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
because I'm a so it's research. The UK is the sixth largest games market | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
in the world and last year the industry here was worth a total of | :13:48. | :13:54. | |
?4.3 billion. Andrew Smith is a developer at a small UK company that | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
makes multiplayer online games. Are you aware when you are developing | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
these games how addictive they can be? It would be silly to say we are | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
not. We try and make games that people fall in love with. It's about | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
an emotional connection. In a large part of that can be similar to the | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
features that will make people addicted. Games are a predominant | :14:15. | :14:24. | |
artform of the modern world. Some games have a play to win scenario | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
where, the you spend, it isn't just about going to a shop and spending | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
30, 40 quid, sometimes you need to upgrade, like a ship or a vehicle, | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
and that costs real money. Absolutely. The dream is for our | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
game to be somebody's hobby. Most hobbies allow somebody to spend a | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
fair amount of money, beyond what you would normally associate with a | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
video game in a store. That is the case for many people here today, but | :14:53. | :14:58. | |
what -- at what point does a pastime become an obsession? I have played | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
for 24 hours straight. You have to have your limits. I've had friends | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
who have played for 48 hours. What makes you want to keep playing? It | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
is like escapism. It takes you out of this world. You go into a fantasy | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
world where you can be whoever you want to be and there are things you | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
can't do in the real world. It is clear that young people love their | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
video games and, for the parents, it seems moderation is key. I love the | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
game as much as the kids do but I'm good at structuring my time. It | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
isn't a given right, something you get is a reward for doing your | :15:37. | :15:43. | |
homework. So what is Neil taken away from his experience? Watching my son | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
playing games, I'd always think, these are two addictive, but | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
obviously that is that an element to them, but as parents we have to | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
allow that not happen. For anybody out there who has been in your | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
situation, who can't see the wood for the trees, what advice would you | :15:59. | :16:05. | |
give them? Set realistic goals and don't just say, I'm only going to | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
play for half an hour when realistically it will be two hours. | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
Make sure you do your training and homework first and then you are free | :16:13. | :16:13. | |
to chill out and play games. A lot of mums and dads will be | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
really aware of the effect games have on their kids but there's some | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
science behind it For a lot of people, it is not a | :16:22. | :16:32. | |
problem, but for the small percentage that become dependent, it | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
becomes a serious problem. Researchers have likened it to | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
gambling addiction, it can affect their health and well-being. The | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
researchers have pulled together a warning list. Take away the console | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
and see how they react, see if they become an chess or withdrawn, if | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
they are not eating or sleeping, then maybe it is time to | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
re-evaluate. Prevention is better than your. Talking from a father's | :17:02. | :17:08. | |
perspective, it is hard. You do the time thing, you try to be as | :17:09. | :17:15. | |
amicable as possible, you were talking to lots of desperate | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
parents, it is unknown territory. Help was one word that came to mind. | :17:19. | :17:24. | |
But good old-fashioned boundaries, with a reward system in place. When | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
the gamers have done their dishes, they have chatted around the dinner | :17:31. | :17:33. | |
table, reward them with a designated time on the console. The key thing | :17:34. | :17:40. | |
is the time you finish. Get the old-fashioned egg timer out, the one | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
that rings really loud, and give them a designated time to finish, | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
and maybe give them a ten minute warning, because you cannot just go | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
in and pull the plug. It gives them time to save the game, and say | :17:53. | :17:59. | |
goodbye to their online friends. You will have to get an egg timer! | :18:00. | :18:06. | |
Massive aid timers! Sales will go up! | :18:07. | :18:08. | |
Tower-block residents face an anxious wait for information | :18:09. | :18:10. | |
after today's news that about 600 buildings have some form | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
of cladding on them which could potentially be dangerous. | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
Even people living in blocks without cladding are concerned, | :18:18. | :18:19. | |
and Matt's been to the scene of a previous fire to | :18:20. | :18:21. | |
find out what questions people should be asking. | :18:22. | :18:28. | |
Just a week after the biggest tower block fire in UK history, the fire | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
safety industry has gathered in London at the fire Expo, and the | :18:35. | :18:42. | |
tragedy of Grenfell is a main point of discussion. We are worried that | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
our regulations have been falling behind the scale and scope of what | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
is going on in the fire world of the built environment. With the current | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
safety of buildings at the top of the agenda, the Mayor of London | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
Sadiq Khan has said that some tower blocks from the 60s and 70s may be | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
knocked down, which in the long term they be fine, but if you are putting | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
your children to bed tonight on the 14th floor, it is less than | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
reassuring, so what questions do you need to ask? What documents do you | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
need to see? What does safe look like in a tower block? This is | :19:20. | :19:25. | |
Harrow Court in Stevenage, around the same age as Grenfell. In 2005 a | :19:26. | :19:31. | |
fire caused three deaths, but it did not spread to other areas. The | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
Council fire safety officer is going to show me around. If there is a | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
fire, you need water, and that means you need a dry riser. What does it | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
do? We have a pipe on every floor, there is an outlet, and they pushed | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
the water up to before they needed out. Making sure it is in good | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
order, it would be worth checking. Absolutely. How do you get out of | :19:57. | :20:03. | |
the building? This blog has two stairwells, we go back to Grenfell, | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
a lot of people said they should have been another fire escape. You | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
could still have a new purpose-built block of flats these days that would | :20:14. | :20:21. | |
only have one stairwell. And art sprinklers the answer? Why do we not | :20:22. | :20:27. | |
have one? Our buildings perform admirably, because we have | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
detection, and we keep our corridor is clear, so there should be nothing | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
that will burn. What do the experts think it is about fire safety | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
regulation that needs to be reviewed? The biggest problem is the | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
fact that building products are moving much faster, and they are not | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
being fought through when it comes to testing them for use in reality, | :20:53. | :20:58. | |
and legislation has not kept pace. The regulations are playing catch | :20:59. | :21:05. | |
up. But they have not caught up. Normally the approved document is | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
reviewed every six years or so and it has been over ten years since our | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
last review. If I was a resident by tower block and I had concerned | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
about fire safety, I would want to query the council with respect to | :21:18. | :21:24. | |
the fire risk assessment. Since last Wednesday Stevenage Borough Council | :21:25. | :21:27. | |
has been working hard to reassure residents in all their housing | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
stock. They are safe, we are reassured, we do begin checks, and | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
they are safe for our customers. Very early on with Grenfell, the | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
stapled policy was what people focused on, it might have cost lives | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
for stop what the Fire Service had said that if people stay in their | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
flats, the way that the buildings are built, they are built to contain | :21:51. | :21:56. | |
a Fire Within an individual unit. The Fire Service will be able to get | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
to those people. The crucial question that you will be asking, | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
what will it be? That the risk assessment is current and sufficient | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
for the block you live in, but you have to make sure you have good | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
levels of fire stopping, a good 30 minute fire door between you and the | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
escape routes, and making sure that the walls and floor are solid | :22:18. | :22:23. | |
construction. If you are living in a high-rise, if you are worried, there | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
is something you can do. Find the FRS, fire risk assessment, and work | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
through it bit by bit. If what you see in it does not look good enough, | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
does not look practical or well thought through, if people have not | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
bothered to check things, get on the phone, start writing e-mails and | :22:43. | :22:43. | |
make a fuss. Matt, where should people be able | :22:44. | :22:45. | |
to find those fire risk assessments? There should be held by your | :22:46. | :22:57. | |
landlord, the housing association or the council, they should have | :22:58. | :23:04. | |
copies. Some councils, such as Harlow, make there is public by | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
putting them online, so you can find them on the website. That is a much | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
easier way for people to understand the work that is being done to | :23:14. | :23:16. | |
protect them, the thought that has gone into it and what would happen. | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
It will tell you what you should do. You can see how much thought has | :23:23. | :23:24. | |
gone into bed. Melvyn, as an active | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
member of the Lords, what role do you hope | :23:29. | :23:29. | |
you and your colleagues With such a messed up Government, | :23:30. | :23:44. | |
the Lords can do a lot. The Lords have been forcing people to look at | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
things more carefully. Take a wider look at it. We need more regulation, | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
we have to force it through, we have to stop the cuts. These things do | :23:55. | :24:01. | |
not happen in very expensive blogs, they happen where poor people live. | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
We have got to find a way to sort that. We heard Theresa May talking | :24:06. | :24:13. | |
about analysis of buildings with cladding, when will residents find | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
out? 600 tower blocks are being tested, that is what they are | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
looking at. Seven in four areas have been shown to have combustible | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
cladding, the landlords are being notified, and it should get through | :24:27. | :24:29. | |
to the residents very quickly. One has been found in Camden, and they | :24:30. | :24:36. | |
are working to remove that cladding right now. For those people, they | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
can see the work taking place, and that will make them feel better. | :24:41. | :24:42. | |
The last time I met the comedian Hal Cruttenden, | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
he was desperately seasick on board the One Show's Sport Relief | :24:47. | :24:48. | |
We've been kinder to him this time, asking him and his sister to revisit | :24:49. | :25:06. | |
the scene of an idyllic family holiday on a certain Somerset farm | :25:07. | :25:09. | |
that around this time of year gets a little bit noisy. | :25:10. | :25:16. | |
Glastonbury is the biggest greenfield music Festival in the | :25:17. | :25:22. | |
world. But this is how me and my sister Abigail will always remember | :25:23. | :25:28. | |
the festival's home at worthy farm. This was the exciting moment. It | :25:29. | :25:35. | |
still is. It was like the beginning of the holiday. You go around the | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
corner and go, it is the farm! I don't associated with Coldplay, | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
kaiser chiefs or Kanye West, I think of kids play, cops and robbers and | :25:47. | :25:52. | |
cowpats. This is where we spent our happiest summer holidays, milking | :25:53. | :25:58. | |
cows and herding balls. These were the best times. Because we were here | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
for so long and we had such freedom, and because of everybody at the farm | :26:03. | :26:05. | |
and the kids, they were great, we hung out with them. It was ideal, | :26:06. | :26:12. | |
nothing like it. This week, 30,000 people are employed on site. We | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
remember all of this as a working dairy farm. Our parents thought it | :26:17. | :26:22. | |
happened me up a bit, because I had been so scared of cars. Our family | :26:23. | :26:29. | |
started staying here in 1973. Three years after Michael Eavis launched | :26:30. | :26:32. | |
the festival to help keep the farm financially afloat. Our parents | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
discovered it because friends used to come down. It will still | :26:37. | :26:42. | |
happening in June, we were there in August, but there were Moroccan | :26:43. | :26:45. | |
drummers, and they were living in the barn, they had done the festival | :26:46. | :26:51. | |
and hung out for two months, and you would walk around and a Moroccan | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
would walk past coming, mourning. Our sister and we shared the top | :26:56. | :27:03. | |
floor with the children of Michael Eavis' family. It is the first time | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
we have been back in 30 years. Hello! One of the highlights were | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
Michael's tactical jokes, which normally involved Amber Schinkel our | :27:14. | :27:22. | |
midnight feasts. I went up a ladder, knocked on the window, 10pm at | :27:23. | :27:29. | |
night, I thought I was scaring the kids, and old lady came out. | :27:30. | :27:36. | |
Probably 90 odd! It is the first time since 1980I have seen my | :27:37. | :27:41. | |
childhood friend and hero Patrick, Michael's son, and cursed to be the | :27:42. | :27:44. | |
only boy in a family of girls. I think he liked me, but I was | :27:45. | :27:50. | |
trailing him round, and he knew how to do everything, and I would be | :27:51. | :27:55. | |
impressed. We were a bit Somerset local, you came from London, you | :27:56. | :28:04. | |
drove a smart car. Townies! Exactly! Since 1999 Michael has shed the | :28:05. | :28:07. | |
running of the festival with his daughter Emily, the youngest member | :28:08. | :28:14. | |
of our clan. For God's sake! It is like the stuff of legend, he visits | :28:15. | :28:20. | |
from your family. You were small enough, I was standing at the front | :28:21. | :28:24. | |
of the house, Sandra said, can you look after Emily? I was like, OK... | :28:25. | :28:31. | |
You were sitting on the grass, I said, hello, chatting, and they are | :28:32. | :28:36. | |
all staring to see how I would cope. Being put in charge of Emily! She is | :28:37. | :28:39. | |
an immensely powerful woman, she books this, I am sure she would like | :28:40. | :28:45. | |
to be reminded that I used to look after her! Can I play the Pyramid | :28:46. | :28:51. | |
stage, please? As kids, we would know where to look for Michael, in | :28:52. | :28:56. | |
the cow shed. That is still where we find him today. 500 cards? A huge | :28:57. | :29:04. | |
operation. We won the UK best dairy farm, migrate grandparents moved | :29:05. | :29:12. | |
here 156 years ago, and we have been ever since. It is important to keep | :29:13. | :29:17. | |
the farm going, more so than keeping the festival going. Sadly, we | :29:18. | :29:23. | |
stopped coming here in the 1980s, when Abbey's acting jobs and foreign | :29:24. | :29:30. | |
holidays got in the way. Now, it is time to say goodbye again. It has | :29:31. | :29:33. | |
been amazing, brilliant. Take care. The music is ringing out as we | :29:34. | :29:42. | |
speak. The Box That Changed Britain | :29:43. | :29:52. | |
is on BBC Two on Saturday 1st July, and the Sky Arts South Bank Awards | :29:53. | :29:56. | |
can be seen on July 9th. Tomorrow, Jerry Springer | :29:57. | :30:00. | |
is presenting with Alex, and Tracey Ullman and Rita Ora | :30:01. | :30:01. | |
will be on the sofa. | :30:02. | :30:05. |
