22/11/2012 The One Show

Wogan. Hello and welcome to The One Show

with Alex Jones... And Matt Baker. Tonight we are joined by seven

people, who after being in highly successful groups are going solo.

Yes, Team Rickshaw are together for possibly the final time. There they

are counting some of the huge number of cheques you have sent in.

We are to hear about their very busy seven days.

Our guest tonight was in the multi- platinum -selling band, N-Dubz it

is singer and X Factor judge, tell tell! Nice to see you. Well, you

are in the papers, day in, day out, but more so because of Ella's exit

from the X Factor! We cannot believe it. She was our favourite.

I think that was the problem. You said it yourself on the night.

People thought she was safe. I think that the people that wrote

for Ella would wait until the last couple of rounds before voting and

assume she would be safe. Obviously, there are lots of people, along

with myself, who are devastated she is not here now.

How is she? She has a positive head on her shoulders. She wants to do

this it means she will get to write her own music. Stuff like that. So

she is excited and thinking about the future.

So many producers will be after her? Exactly.

And she is very mature for her age. Now, all of the contestants on the

X Factor would love the success of Susan Boyle. She released her

fourth album, it is called Standing Ovation.

Susan Boyle experienced fame bond her wildest dreams. She grew up in

the West Lothian area of Scotland. She describes her childhood in her

own words. My name is Susan Boyle. I'm taking

you today to the street that I grew up in West Lothian. It was a fairly

ordinary area. Not much happening here. This is it, the Susan Boyle

household. I was brought back here a tiny

bundle from the hospital on the 1st of April, 1961. I was one of nine.

The last one. The tail end of the family. I remember the place

gradually emptying as they all grew up and got their own lives.

Well, here it is. The living room. My mum sat that

side, my dad sat that side. It was usually after they had a good night

out. We would take turns in singing. You actually got up then and stood

up and sung unaccompanied. That was quite something it was good. My

dad's song was Scarlett Ribbons. # Scarlett ribbons for my hair... #

It was a very important song for my father. It was about a little

girl's relationship with her father. An extension of his love for his

family. My dad was in the army. It was then he discovered he could

sing. He got many opportunities. There was a Drury Lane audition,

but his superiors would not let him go. He was a gold soldier as well.

So he never got the chance N a way, I suppose, I'm re-living his dream.

My mother was a diamond. She would help anybody. She was a lovely

person. She was more the academic type, but in those days you needed

money to go to university. She did not have the money to do it,

otherwise she could have. My parents were protective of me as I

was the youngest. People would bully me at school. It was the

psychological type of bullying, the type you cannot really see.

I was about seven when I got my own room. When I was 13 I got my first

record player for my Christmas. There were two LPs on it, there was

Donny and the Plan. I thought it was great. I was dancing up and

down so much I made a hole in the ceiling downstairs. Imagined myself

with them in the mirror like this, # They called it puppy love. #

Don't watch, Donny, for heaven's sake. The bum was going and

everything. I didn't realise a few years later I would be singing with

him. Fantastic memories. Nobody could touch me here, nobody could

bully me here. This was my sanctuary. I could pretend to be

somebody else, other than Susan Boyle. I still live here. I decided

to stay in this house. Although I have a posh house down the other

side of Blackburn, people thought I should have moved there, but I like

it here it is near my neighbours and friends. I feel peaceful here.

It is secure. Despite the publicity I've been getting and the wealth I

have had, to be within your own community and roots it is natural.

You can't always anybody the spotlight. You have to come out of

that spotlight sometimes and to be just you.

# You haven't looked at me that way in years

# But I'm still here... # Oh! That sofa looks comfy?! Incredible that

story. What a beautiful story.

And the lengths that she went to get out of the spotlight. What do

you do to get out of the spotlight? I probably do something random like

run away to a friend's house that lives in a random area where no-one

can find me and hideaway. I would close the farm gate! Yeah,

he would be on his tractor and off he would go! Joking! That's right

it! You are right. In the press lately, for the new album, The

Female Boss, it says that Tulisa is the most talked about young singer

out there at the minute. Is that a good thing? It depends if they are

being truthful or not? How are you coping, you are so in the spotlight

at the minute it must be hard? Is this r It is, but you have to let

it go over your head. At the end of the day people will talk and make

stuff up, so you just... Do the positives outweigh the negatives?

They do for me. Well lots of people will be

incredibly surprised to hear that your dad and uncle were in this

band... Here we go. Mungo Jerry! I mean it is

absolutely unbelievable! What was it like for you growing up in a

musical household? It was pretty musical! You were singing away

everyone singing away. I guess it was just a part of my blood from

growing up. I couldn't imagine ever doing anything else. It was just

everywhere that I went. Music was played. Whether it was my mum

singing or CDs being played. Or hearing the piano. It was

everywhere. Was it literally who could sing the

loudest? Yeah, it still is around my auntis on Christmas day. I sit

quietly in the corner. And your beautiful mother, we have

a picture of her and her aunt. There she is. You are incredibly

similar? Do you think so? Yes, incredibly similar.

Does your mum give advice now? She must understand the music industry?

We don't tend to talk about it, you know. We don't talk about my career,

ever, really. Really? We talk about normal things when we see each

other. I wonder if they worry more now you are solo or if they feel

safer when you were in a group? I feel safer? Or they? I don't know

about them. I definitely felt more secure in a group. From the age of

11, up to 23 being in a band is a long time.

Sure, yeah. But I'm enjoying being solo, but a part of me misses the

boys. I feel like that is where I belong.

Well, you are going for it. This is Sight Of You. Let's have a look.

# Baby boy, you don't have to be like that

# We don't have to be like that # You don't have to be like that #

APPLAUSE So, Tulisa, what does this album say about you? You started

with a few words then wrap up the album with a conclusion? Yes, I do.

For me it was, recording The Female Boss, aassumed that guys would buy

it, but mostly females, so it was all about female empowerment and

females for whatever mood they are in. If you are wanting to go out

and party, or you are happily in love or in love and heartbroken.

There is every emotion that a woman can feel on the album.

Where do you see the solo career going? You are doing this album,

but will you move into more middle of the road stuff, what do you

think? I think that I will keep the similar sound, always staying in

touch with my urban roots, but depending on the success of this

album depends what I want to do. Maybe try Europe and start

recording another album, and also reunited with N-Dubz.

One last question, Ella is out, who would you like to see win the X

Factor? I think either James or Jarmaine.

The Female Boss is out on December the 3rd.

Ream the Government changed the law to ensure that doctors cannot use a

patient's age to with hold treatment. Some say that this

happened years ago, but it was not the experience of a family from

Chester. Michael Mosley went to hear their story.

This is 82-year-old Kenneth Worden. He is a spritely pensioner who

trains at the gym for two hours aweek as he competes for a local

rowing team. I have been rogue since 156789 so

this is second nature. When do you reckon you can go on

rowing until? Until you drop dead! But four years ago, after being

diagnosed with an aggressive bladder cancer, he was told nothing

culled be done. He was, effectively, left to die.

I went to the doctor, he said I was 78. It is incurable, that there was

nothing that they could do. What was your reaction? Devastated.

You don't want to hear it. Ken was 78 when the cancer was

diagnosed. He was otherwise fit and healthy. If they could treat the

cancer, there is what the prospect of living into his 80s, but

Michelle, he was not prepared to take the doctor's decision lying

down. 78 is a great age, but it does not

mean it is the end of life when there is no other disease process.

We attended a hospital 120 miles away, the Centre of Excellence for

bladder cancer. It was a different story. The consultant said they

would offer chemotherapy. They would take a -- the bladder out,

that nothing was guaranteed, but it would improve the quality of life.

That is what happened. Do you think you would have had the

treatment if it were not for your daughter? No, I would have

collapsed in a happy and gone down the drain. My daughter, and my son

were both supportive. It was a blessing, wasn't it? Since being

treated four years ago, Ken is living life to the full. He's been

on holiday, abroad ten times and bought a sports car. In October,

changes to the -- equality act made with holding treatment on the

grounds of age unlawful. 64 years ago when the NHS was standby

established life expectancy for men was 66. It is now 78. Women were

expected to live 707 years. Now it is 82.

The challenge for the NHS is to supply the services for our ageing

population's needs, while implementing �20 billion of savings.

When I qualify in the mid-1980s, there were doctors who did

discriminate on the basis of age. Now they can no longer do so. How

do they decide who gets treated. It is believed by this doctor that

age is no longer a factor in deciding a patient's treatment.

Making the change in law unnecessary.

Are you faced with a situation with a 50-year-old or 80-year-old and

you have to give treatment to one and not the other? That used to be

a problem where the age was a factor. Now we look at frailty.

What is the Boyd like? Can it accept the treatment. There are

some 50-year-olds whose bodies are old as they have abused it and 80-

year-olds who are still playing golf and gardening.

If frail ti is a criteria, what is it and how do we test for it

(Professor Dosney is piloting a series it determine a person's

frail ti. So, how will this 55- year-old fare.

I will give you an address. I will then ask for the address back again.

The tests are fiscal, mental and social, to establish a picture of

the patient's welfare. Do you think that the tests will be

used to say you can have treatment and you cannot? That is not the

reason for doing the test. This is to optimise all individuals. It is

not a you scored 15, you can have treatment, you scored 14, you

cannot. In my experience of the NHS, people

judge on the base of age? It has to change. When 60% of the population

is over the age of 70, we have to stop looking at age and look at

functional status. In 25 years' time, there will be

more than 16 million people over the age of 65. The fitness and

state of health will be the deciding factor for receiving NHS

treatment, than the date on the birth certificate.

And Dr Sarah Jarvis is here. Do you agree that age as a factor

is a thing of the past? From my perspective it is. In terms of what

the birth certificate. There a are a lot of people younger than the

birth certificate, but there is discrimination. There was a report

called Access all Ages, they say that people are denied life-saving

cancer treatments and hip rations - - operations, that is not right.

Have you noticed a change? It is dramatic. When I was young you were

old when you were 70. Now it is different. There are so many more

healthy older people, it has stopped being an issue. We look at

how well you are, not your age. My dad is 87, but had heart problems

and had surgery. I said to the surgeon, he was 87, but he said he

was in great shape. Not to worry. If there are folk thinking that

they are being discriminated because of the age, what is the

best way for the voices to be heard? That is it, make the voice

heard. There is a service at the local hospital, the Department of

Health says that the hospital is the first port of call. They are

good to listen it is illegal to discriminate on the ground of age.

The next port of call is the Primary Care Trust. Then talk to

the GP. They know how well you are, they know if you are not fit or fit

for surgery. Then they can explain why the doctor has said "no". It

could be because it is too dangerous.

In the film we saw a little of the tests that they run to check how

fragile people are. If you were to go for the tests, what are the

procedures? Lots of things, your balance, strength, they are looking

at how healthy your heart is. Looking at your brain. I had a

wonderful experience. I did a mini mental state examination, at the

end of it, he reminded me that I had forgotten to ask him the

question at the end! Excellent work. There is more advice about what to

do about age discrimination in the NHS on our website.

Now, the wildlife man, Mike Dilger, is a man full of surprises. For

instance, he speaks fluent Spanish and can have a chat in Swahili.

We won't worry about the translations! Animals are full of

surprises. Mike has been to the Torbay coast to discover a secret

that is hid no-one plain sight. 1927, walking along the Torbay

shoreline, scientist Charles Philips noticed something strange.

Anem nis, when caught in a certain light, they seemed to become bright

green. Philips recorded fluorescence in marine animals.

Whilst other sea creatures are able to see the anemones, to maximise

the brightness, human eyes need special kits. Here I can explain

what I mean with these anemones. In normal light you can appreciate the

strawberry colours an the dotted appearance which make it is look

like the seeds of the fruit, but to fully appreciate the unique light

show through human eyes you need a blue light to bring out the colours

and a pair of yellow goggles or yellow film on the lens to act as a

filter. Then watch this. This anemone is straight out of Las

Vegas. To see them for myself. I have come to Plymouth. Was we wait

for the dark, the night closes in, but we have to take this rare

opportunity tonight. Keith it is midnight, most sane

people are in bed. What are we doing here? It is low spring tides,

some of the best of the year. We need that to find Devonshire cup

Corals. The chorals that we are looking for

are about a centimetre and the weather has churned up the seabeds,

but we are in luck. Here is one.

A Devonshire cup choral. That is lovely to see. It does not look

like much, but let's turn on this blue light and see the effect we

get... Look at that! The centre of a the choral is glowing in the most

gorgeous green. Amongst the other wildlife, nestled in a crevace

where these jewels, but there is still one anemone that I would like

to see. Luckily, we found one. This is a snake lock anemone. If I put

on the special blue light... It is positively vibrant! But there is

more to the green glow than meets the eye and the scientist that

shared its secrets is along the coast in Southampton.

Why would the chorals fluoresce on the certain lights? The chorals use

the pigments to protect them from intensive sunlight. Others may use

it to attract prey. What is the difference between the

flowerences that you find in fire flies and glow worms and what we

see here in the choralals? These produce their own light. So you see

them when they spich on their -- switch on their light. For the

flowerence es -- flowerences -- fluorescences, you have to switch

on the blue light to see them. We have taken the proteins from the

snake lock and similar processes have been used to help in science.

This is a power tool that we have with the potential to save

thousands of lives. It can be used to label nerve cells, you can track

proteins in a living cell and it can be used to label cancer cells

to see which genes are active when a cell undergoes its transformation

to a cancer cell. Here is footage of the proteins

used to highlight cell division. With the age of bacteria, we have

also prepared a glowing example. I'm looking at a green, fluorescent,

The One Show logo. How clever is that.

Well, I am going rockpooling with some yellow goggles and a torch.

Of course you are! Now, last night was a brilliant night for the Team

Rickshaw group and the Rickshaw Challenge. They have had a great

week, they met Fearne Cotton and Sir Terry Wogan! What a week.

Yes, what a week, please, welcome back, James, Ciaran, Darren, jam

jam -- Jamila and Jack. Welcome back. It is lovely to have you here.

Earlier, we were saying that we were gutted to see that Ella was

out of the X Factor. What was your spin on it? So disappointed.

So, let's find out what a week you have had. Lauren? You have been

busy, what is it about this furniture store? Yes, I am meant to

be opening DFS... Other furniture stores are available! Sorry! DFS

and one other... And what about zumba? I had that on Thursday. I

had a good laugh with my mum's friend who is a zumba instructor.

We raised about �500. That is brilliant! APPLAUSE

And Tulisa, James did the challenge as he wanted to raise awareness for

young carers. Tulisa you have experience of being a young carer,

as it happens? Definitely, it is an amazing course. I did a documentary

a while ago. It is good to now that there are people like yourself out

there. It is so important to take time out

for yourself. What you all achieved is really something special. Of

course, we gave you a photo album. I am sure you have been through

them. There are a few more photos to add to that. Including this one,

that is the whole teamed packed together on the One Show sofa. It

goes to show how many people were involved in ensuring that the Team

Rickshaw got to London. Thank you very much to all of you.

And, Ciaran we said there was a surprise for you. This is

especially for you. Look at this. know, Ciaran you are a big Swansea

City fan, so I would like to invite you to our game on Wednesday as our

special guest. We want you to go on the pitch before the kick-off, so

all of the supporters can show their appreciation! Well done,

Ciaran. Wow! APPLAUSE

Now, that is an invitation, Ciaran? That is fantastic! I'm speechless.

I met Michael the day before yesterday when I went training in

the same place. He congratulated me on my achievement. I had my photo

taken with him. It was great. Well, you are going on the pitch,

mate. You are going on the pitch. It will be brilliant.

We are so pleased for you. I tell you what, shall we see what

the total is by now? Here we go... Over �1.5 millionment goodness me.

Guys, what do you want it say to everyone? Thank you! Thank you very
