22/11/2017 The One Show

Hello and welcome to

The One Show with Matt Baker.

And Alex Jones.

On the day of the Budget, our guests

represent excellent value.

Definitely.

As far as growth is concerned,

one guest is 40% taller than anyone

else in the studio.

And the other is 100% more

Canadian than everyone here.

But they're both guaranteed

to raise your interest -

without being too taxing.

A huge welcome to Katherine Ryan

and Richard Osman!

APPLAUSE.

To avoid getting too political we

will leave the Budget to one side.

We will talk about your personal

budgets. Whitehall have you been

overspending?

I never overspend.

I never feel richer than going down

to a shopping street and think, I'm

honestly not interested in anything

in any of these shops. I get to the

end of the high street and think how

rich am I not liking anything.

Nothing would fit you.

Other than

books.

You are not a big spender.

I

would spend less on takeaway, but

more on food. I need is to still be

eating. Cooking healthy meals for my

family.

More neefrt yourself.

I'm

the favourite of the delivery man.

It's like -

Same.

The delivery

restaurants are good at what they

do. It's presumptuous to think I

could cook something better. You

should say - listen,, you cook

Indian food better than me.

Richard now turned his attention

to those pointless arguments

we all have where we argue

passionately that one thing

is better than another,

even though the answer

just doesn't matter.

We will get into these more.

He calls these arguments

"World Cups" and in them he tries

to determine which is the best out

of a range of things such

as breakfast cereal,

biscuits and crisps.

Ridiculous really.

Flame grilled are the best.

You are

wrong. It's the Scampi Fries.

Really?

When you stop in a petrol

station, the first in your mouth is

heaven, isn't it?

I'm Flame Grilled

all the way. Don't look at me.

You

have said the single most

controversy thing on TV and we had

the Budget today.

Anyway, tonight we're going

to have a World Cup of dinners.

We want you to send in a photo

and tell us why you think your

cheese on toast beats someone

else's spag bol.

Takeaways don't count. Leave them

out of it.

We'll boil it down to a few

finalists and later on Richard

and Katherine will pick

a dinner winner later.

We're also in for

a tasty musical treat

later when none other

than Seal will be here.

# Kiss From A Rose... #

That takes you back.

He's gone back to some

of the classics and tonight he'll be

performing an absolutely brilliant

rendition of I Put A Spell On You.

Can't wait.

He was warming up next to me. He's

on form.

One of the big Budget announcements

today was the pledge to plough

£20 million into completely

eradicating homelessness

in the next 10 years.

A recent study said that there

are now over 300,000

homeless people in the UK,

but charities like Shelter

suggest the figure is

likely to be even higher.

So how do you even begin to count

the number of people on our streets?

JJ has been finding out.

It's 1.30am in the morning and I'm

heading out on to the streets of

Greater Manchester. I'm joining the

rough sleeping count as the local

council tries to establish how many

people are sleeping on the street.

Since 2010 the number of rough

sleepers in Greater Manchester has

incerealed four-fold. The count is

carried out once a year by

volunteers from the council and

Housing Association. They soon spot

someone in a doorway.

Hi, I'm Leisa,

are you OK. How long have you been

staying here.

Two weeks.

Would you

like to access support and advice in

the next few days maybe.

Maybe.

He's

Polish, he lived here for the last

three years. Was working, had a job,

then lost his job. He ended up on

the street. He has lost his

passport. That is him effectively

stranded here. Each year the

Government ask local authorities to

provide a figure on how many people

are sleeping rough. Around 15% carry

out a head count like this. How

accurate can one count on one night

a year be? Joining us is the Salford

Mair.

It depends how many people

come out and volunteer. The places

we go to and whether or not people

who are homeless or rough sleeping

are actually there when we decide to

visit. So it is fraught with

problems. The count is worthwhile on

a whole number of levels. It means

we get out there and we see for

ourselves the conditions people are

living in.

Paul is keen to take us

to the Narrow Gate Night Shelter to

show us the reality. This is

Salford's hidden homeless, they are

not included on the count. One of

them is 51-year-old marry.

My

landlord sold the flat I was in.

How

long have you been here for?

Seven

weeks.

How has it been adjusting

living here?

It's been quite hard,

actually. You are not used to so

many people.

Without this place I

presume would you have been rough

sleeping?

I would have had to,

really.

Mary has been lucky she, she

will move into a flat in a month's

time. It's 3.00am. We are heading to

Salford Quays. It's cold tonight. I

wouldn't want to be sleeping out.

Yeah, we have reports of every night

five or six people coming and

begging down around this building.

There's no-one here now, just

bedding. It's another example of how

difficult it is to #re8 fleck the

true scale of the problem. S How do

you feel knowing that people are

living like this?

I've got grave

concerns. -- reflect. Everybody

sleeping outside using bedding,

cardboard, they are at risk of

hypothermia.

Impossible to think you

will get back on your feet when this

is what you come back to at night?

No, it's absolutely horrendous.

The

team comes across another man

outside an office building. He says

he's not homeless, just stranded.

It's now 4.00am. There are four

young men sleeping in a train

station. 22-year-old Dean Wild has

been on the street for five months

after losing his job.

Is withworking

as a mechanic. -- I was working as a

mechanic. The garage shut down.

If

you got accommodation, could you get

back into that?

Yes, of course. I

would love to get back into it. It's

the only thing I really want to do.

How tough can it get out here?

It

can get tough. This is meant to be a

good sleeping bag. I still feel the

cold.

It's not just homelessness he

is dealing with.

I see dark figures.

There's no face. It's a dark figure.

I met Dean there, a really nice guy.

He has genuine mental health issues,

but in just a really horrible

situation. Dean is receiving housing

support from the local authority and

it's hoped he will be off the

streets soon.

Last year Salford found five rough

sleepers, but tonight that has more

than doubled to 11. Alongside

evidence from the police, charities

and Housing Association, the

official figure is closer to 40. So

how valuable is the count?

Well,

clearly, I think we need to do more

of these, to be perfectly honest

with you. I'd like to see all cities

and towns around the country doing

counts. Unless you get out there and

see it yourself all it is is a

number on a spreadsheet. Let's be

human about this.

Seal has joined us

now.

Hello.

You were watching that

film closely. This is something you

have life experience in. You ended

up on the streets sleeping rough.

How did that situation come about?

Yeah. I mean, the big difference

there is mine was by choice.

Watching this piece, you quickly

realise that a lot of these people

have no choice. I think that's the

most disheartening thing.

Right.

When you say by choice, how did you

make up making that decision?

I

decided to leave home at 15. I was

in search of, you know, bigger and

brighter things. So it was my

choice, you know. I roughed it on

friend's floors for a while. When

they got tired and they kicked me

out I roughed it in shelters and I

used to sleep on the Underground a

couple of times. It got to that at

one point. Again, you know, the

difference was mine was by choice. A

lot of these poor people just have

no choice. My heart goes out to them

really.

You actually turned your

life around then because you wrote

Kiss From A Rose in a squat, didn't

you?

Yeah. We have... I try to

explain it sometimes to my American

friends. We have this wonderful

concept in England called squatters

rights which we are all aware of. I

lived in a squat for a while. That

was kind of my... It was - since

leaving home, that was kind of like

my first real space that I could

call my own, I felt. Of course, you

have more or less the guarantor. You

had the guarantee of being rehoused

if you ever had to leave the squat.

That was where I wrote Kiss From A

Rose.

Did it it have connotations of

your life when you were writing

that?

Did Kiss From A Rose have

connotations? I never thought of it

like that. It must have done,

really. You know, as a writer, an

artist, you kind of reflect the

reality of your surrounding or at

least how you see it, a reality, I

should say. Yes, it must have done.

I mean, people have often asked me -

what is it about? I couldn't tell

you if my life depended on it.

We

wanted an answer tonight.

My answer

for the longest time was, it's about

whatever. I'd say, what does it mean

to you. That's what it's about, I

guess.

Well, despite Seal's tough start,

he went onto sell over 30 million

records and win multiple Grammy

awards and Brits, thanks

to tunes like these.

# Is there still a part of you that

wants to live honourable gentleman

solitary sister

# Is there still a part of you that

wants to give

# But we're never going to survive

unless we get a little crazy

# No, we're never going to survive

unless we are a little crazy

# Baby, I compare you to a kiss from

a ks rose

# Oh, the more I get of you

# The stranger it feels, yeah...

#. YES!

You should do karaoke, you've got a

good voice.

Apparently people who

sing for a living are terrible at

karaoke.

Oh really.

The whole point

is to be embarrassed.

You could come

to our Christmas party.

Christmas

karaoke. I did a thing recently

where I had to go undercover and

conceal my identity as this sort of

ageing man who had never quite made

it in the music industry. You know,

he had given up his dreams and etc,

etc. I had to go undercover for a

week. It was one of the hardest

thing I ever did. One was involving

me singing. I was this failed

singer, if there is such a thing, I

don't believe there is. For intents

and purposes.

. I had to mask, I had to

intentionally sing badly. You know.

But it was the hardest thing to do,

you know. I don't know why I told

you that story!

If you need to know

how to sing badly come to me.

We

aren't doing any karaoke.

Katherine,

it's a big deal for you sitting next

to Seal? Was he your teen idol.

Instead of saying keeping it real I

say keeping Seal.

I like that.

I

thought you might.

I love it.

Kiss

From A Rose is important if my life.

It is?

As a young girl.

We have a

picture of you at your school prom

did you not dance to it?

Yes. I love

a photo is requested in that you

didn't believe I went to high

school! Yeah, I think you are so

talented.

Oh, thank you.

Hey, no

problem.

Do you know, if you could

see now I'd be blushing, obviously

you can't.

Does anyone think I'm

talented? Anyone!

There is a new

album out. This is the Standard.

What is quite extraordinary here,

Seal, sorry, sorry to interrupt

there.

Do you mind!

I'm trying to

help your album. All these songs,

they are covers, you say it's the

thing you are most proud of?

Oh, I

think that might be a little bit of

hyperbole. I'm proud of it. Whether

or not it's the thing I'm most proud

of. Trevor and I, the first couple

of of albums, watching those videos

and watching Crazy, the memories and

the pride that I have, you know,

with those memories recording those

records with Trevor. It's hard to

concentrate listening to this guy!

This was definitely... It was a very

challenging experience, which is

ultimately kind of what turned me on

about it.

It's all about your voice.

The songs are from a time when

singers sang?

As a singer, what you're trying to

do most of the time, or what we are

trying to do modern days, is suing

as well as we can live and I give a

powerful performance.

But we have to

have our stuff together. The major

difference with the songs is, it

doesn't really matter how great the

musicians are. And let's be clear,

they are spectacular musicians, even

the ones I got to work with, some of

them have recorded with Nat King

Cole and Sinatra. Randy was in

Sinatra's band at 19. So I was

privileged to play with these

musicians. But it does not really

matter if the musicians are

spectacular. If the songs are

spectacular, if the arrangements are

spectacular and some of them are

spectacular, and the singing, the

voice is in shape, technically you

are hitting all the notes, it is not

enough. It is so much about the

narrative in the songs, about the

story, that everything is arranged

and centred around the voice's

ability to convey this narrative and

tell the story. If you are not doing

that, or the other stuff. Pieces.

This is one of the reasons why it

was most challenging for me, because

it brought me back to that, the

essence of songwriting, which is

storytelling, to kind of create this

piece which allows people to suspend

belief and go on this journey.

Well, you have got a huge

performance later on at the end of

the show also I Put A Spell On You.

Huge!

No pressure, Seal.

I like the

way you say that!

We will look

forward to it. And you are touring

around the UK. And that was a good

effort with the Welsh accent!

Now, have a look at these pictures.

This was the reaction

when David Cassidy flew into the UK

back in the 1970s.

He was one of the original teen

idols and sadly today

it was announced he had passed away

at the age of 67.

We met him when he came

onto the show in 2011.

At the time we made a film with two

of his biggest fans,

one of whom was Carrie Grant.

Back in the 70s, the name on

everyone's lips, and the man who had

the key to our teenage hearts, was

David Cassidy. But I was not the

only girl to have his posters all

over my bedroom walls. In fact,

there were 13 million people who

were part of the fan club. That is

more than the Beatles and Elvis

Presley. The single I think I love

you was the biggest selling song of

the 1970s and sparked a group of

devoted it Mahrez who savoured every

David Cassidy moment. Wendy Wright

is still a mad fan. How far does her

celebrity crush go? This is your

memorabilia room. I love it. How did

you feel?

I fell in love with him!

He was everything the magazines made

me think he would be. The music is

the soundtrack of my life. There is

always a David Cassidy track appears

to be somewhere in the background.

Take me back to 1974.

This is the

concert ticket for White city

Stadium.

Described the week leading

up to the gig?

Every single outfit

was tried on about five times just

in case he saw me and would know how

special I was so it was really

important that I had a pink top or a

blue top because that could make a

difference in our future. There were

thousands and thousands and

thousands of girls there. The

excitement was palpable. You could

feel it. There was excitement in the

air.

That day a young girl was

crushed due to the hysteria of the

34,000 fans. She later died. I know

in here you have a report of your

day.

David sang his last song and

ran off. We'll pleaded with him to

come back but nothing happened. All

I could say was, he can't have gone,

then I started to cry. The feeling

inside was awful. David had gone.

I might never see him again.

I have

come to speak to psychologist Linda

Papadopoulos to make sense of these

powerful infatuations of idols like

David.

Think the way the boy bands

have developed over the years have

been very much about helping girls

believe their fantasies, it is about

them, he is singing to you. Think

back to the times of Elvis and David

Cassidy, they do not have a

girlfriend because they are waiting

for you, he is not married because

he has not met yet yet.

Chatting to

Linda and Wendy reminds me of those

great at early moments of youth,

when you have those first crushes,

it is a bonding experience for women

and a great chance for us to

remember our youth. We have to grow

up and that is a fact but what is

wrong with holding the flame to your

teenage idol?

Carry loved David Cassidy.

Katherine, we know that Seal would

have been on your bedroom walls that

Richard, we were thinking, would he

have had Star Wars stuff or

Baywatch?

Baywatch was a little bit

after my time. Mine was someone I

worked out I have had a crush on for

37 years, Kim Wilde.

Kim Wilde! We

did not think of that.

Good option.

During this time we came up -- you

came up with this option. Here is

Richard.

Who is that?

That is my

brother. He is a rock star now.

Yes,

he is in, Chris Slade. Tell us --

yes, he is in Suede. Tell us about

World Cup Of Everything.

There was a

question about who was better

between Spandau Ballet or... I love

the idea of pointless arguments that

people have. I thought I would ask

on Twitter what people's favourite

chocolate bar was. Then 2 million

votes I thought people were

interested in doing this so I do

this and raise money for a charity

which looks after children in

Uganda. People get serious with May

and I thought I will do a book where

you can do it with your mates on a

long car journey or in the pub.

It

is quite interactive.

Does 100%

interactive as long as you have a

pencil. It has wall charts you fill

in. It will cause so many arguments.

You will find out the best reduced

sitcom, all that kind of stuff. It

is giving you something to argue

about that is not Brexit, but as

something a bit more... You will

argue about something.

What would be

your favourite?

Are you talking

about scampi and beef! Identity meet

belongs anywhere. I like salt and

vinegar. I like dill pickle and

chips.

The Americans and Canadians

cannot do lists.

Thirst for thy have

got the name wrong, chips.

It is

amazing how intense it feels when

you're down to the final. I was

logging on. I could not wait to see

who won.

Why do we get so heated up

and we would rather argue whether

this than anything else?

People love

to argue as a species. When we argue

about real things people get upset,

but if you argue about whether a

Twirl is better than a Twix, which

it is, it is fun.

Some of our

friends want to know who would win

their World Cups. We will start with

Breakfast. Here is Dan Walker and

Louise Minchin.

If there was a World

Cup of breakfasts...

What would be

the winner?

Breakfast cereal and not

television programmes I am

presuming!

Breakfast food in

general.

That is easy, bacon

sandwich.

No, because some cultures

cannot have that. You have vegan is

kicking around. I like any potato

base. A bubble and squeak blew my

whole world open.

Hash browns.

You

like a Scottish breakfast.

I like a

Coco Pops. I have said it. Nothing

wrong with that.

Now it is the turn

of Zoe with a question.

If there was

a World Cup of dance moves, what

would be your winner?

Goodness, it

would have to be something I am a

specialist in. I break dance a lot.

Off you go!

You need a crash mat for

what I do.

Sell the book.

There are

no dance moves in the book.

Is it

break dancing, spinning on your

head?

I was in a break dance crew in

the 1980s.

Where you?!

No, I wasn't.

Could you imagine? Let's say I was.

You are a good dancer, Catherine.

You heard right. I think all moves

are good as long as you do them with

reckless abandon. I like moves taken

out of real life like the sprinkler

and also shopping and putting things

in the trolley. Moves from life,

starting the lawn mower.

I am with

you, if in doubt, mine a sport.

I

would just be clicking a mouse, that

is the problem.

We have one more.

Here is Michael Ball.

I have got a

question. In your opinion, what is

the best musical?

That is a good

one. In the book we have the World

Cup of Disney films and people get

very animated about that. I will go

for one that Michael Ball was in and

I love it which is Hairspray.

What

about you, Katherine?

Hamilton.

I

have not seen it.

It is coming to

the UK and it is so good. I know it

is tricky picking the newest one but

it is hot for a reason.

Michael Ball

has strong opinions on this, as you

might imagine.

The longest running

musical is less miserable is, the

most financially successful is

funding of the Opera. The best, it

is Hairspray. Or is it Sweeney Todd?

Or Miss Saigon? Or...

He's always

self promoting, Michael Ball.

Richard's World Cup Of Everything is

out now.

Now, finding out you're

expecting your first child

can be an incredibly exciting

time, but it can also be

a pretty anxious one too.

This is the story of one couple

who had to put their baby's life

in the hands of doctors

before she was even born.

At their home in Bristol, Holly and

Mark Lloyd are getting ready for the

arrival of their first child. The

couple married in February, and had

always wanted a family.

It had

happened sooner than we thought, so

it meant that I was 16 weeks

pregnant already when we got

married.

It was a surprise. Really

excited.

At the 20 week scan Holly

and Mark discovered they were

expecting a girl, but they also

learned there was a problem.

The

sonographer asked for a second

opinion and then a third opinion so

a lot of people came in to have a

look.

The more it went on, the more

worried we became. Your brain

rationalises what is happening but

it is difficult. Quite terrifying

really.

The scan reveals the baby

has a life-threatening condition and

will only survive if she has major

surgery

within a couple of weeks of the

birth.

It is the most difficult

thing either of us has ever had to

deal with.

The thing that sticks in

my mind is a little baby having

open-heart surgery is the worst

combination of words you want to put

together.

The surgery will be

carried out at the Bristol Hospital

for children. A normal heart pumps

red oxygen rich blood around the

body and sends oxygen poor or blue

blood to the lungs.

What happens is

the blue blood comes back to the

body and instead of going to the

lungs it goes back to the body,

whereas the red light coming back

from the lungs goes straight out to

the lungs again. After birth, the

child will not be able to survive

because the oxygen levels in the

blood will get too low for the

organs to work.

The condition

affects two out of every 10,000 live

births and is often called blue baby

syndrome.

There are many different

heart abnormalities which will

produce a child which is blue, a

blue baby. In technical terms, it is

called cyanotic heart disease. All

it means is the oxygen levels in the

blood going to the body are not as

high as you would expect them to be.

Research by the British Heart

Foundation at the University of

Bristol hospital is improving

outcomes all the time. But

technically, it is one of the most

challenging operations.

Although the

results of the arterial switch in

Britain nowadays are extremely good,

we can never belittle what it is. It

is a heart operation on a small

child.

Holly is having sleepless

nights. She is almost nine months

pregnant and the baby is breech. A

Caesarean is booked for the next

day. She decides to start a video

diary.

Fot feeling as strong as I've done.

It's the morning of the birth. Holly

and Mark know their baby's life is

at risk as soon as she's born. In

the delivery suite at Saint

Michael's Maternity Hospital

everything is right.

Why the baby is

still connected to the mum the baby

is being oxygenated. When he has to

oxygen anyway by himself or herself

is when they go blue.

It doesn't

really feel real. I can't comprehend

what's about to happen, really.

Speak to you afterwards.

Love you.

Love you.

Holly is in theatre. The

caesarean takes just six minutes,

but their baby needs resuscitation

and is rushed to Nato natal

intensive care. Down stairs, Holly

is desperate to hold her.

We haven't

seen her yet. I fleetingly saw her

before she was taken away. She

wasn't well enough for a cuddle or

anything.

Waiting to see if we can

go and see our little girl. Yeah,

waiting to see if she's stabilised.

She's being well looked after at the

moment.

Their baby is stable, but in

trouble. In the next few hours she

will need an extra procedure to

allow more oxygen into her body.

It's the only way she will survive

long enough to have the corrective

surgery. The next few days will be

critical. The story will continue

later on in the proprogramme when

Mark, Holly and their baby daughter

will join us to talk about that

operation. The next film is

something else. It really is. Your

tour is about your daughter Violet

who thinks you are the most

embarrassing mum out there. How did

it go down that you had written all

this new material on her Glitter

room.

'S a real room. Her bedroom.

Sounds fantastic.

It's her flat. I

was the first woman to buy property

alone. I was aware my grandmother

wouldn't have been allowed to do

that, or carry a passport or open a

bank account without the signature

of a man. I have a lovely life with

Violet. I get people to say - it's

sad you are alone. When I'm alone I

get to hang out with me. The first

audition of a decorator I told him

what she wanted for the glitter room

he said to me - no. He said, you

cannot do. This he said, no man will

ever want to live here.

You are not

inviting one. I know! I said - you

promise!

I have florals and rose

gold and blush. It's a beautiful

flat.

It sounds pretty.

In the

Glitter room he stood in the middle

of it and said, "when will the

decision maker be home". I was like,

she's at school for two more hours,

you had better hurry up. It's about

the trials and tribulations of the

stigma being attached to being a

single mum.

How much do you tell

Violet?

She used to come on tour

with me more when she was a baby.

She wasn't really listening. I have

to keep her away from some of my

stuff.

That is the interesting stage

you are at in your life.

Yes. It's a

funny stage. I'm a good mum. It

shocks people. There is a line.

There are certain things he can't

watch on telly or live stand-up. She

is embarrassed by me. That's fine. I

feel that's my job. That's

completely cool. I do the school run

sometimes in a bathrobe. I just live

my best life.

With the school run,

we know that you are a bit scathing,

let us say, about some of the other

parents. Do you drive pass slowly

push out Violet and go - bye - in

case they pick on you or do you go

in disguise.

There are a lot of the

mums at the school I love a lot. I

started slagging them off really

early on to get out of fundraising.

I didn't want them inviting me to

the pub quiz.

That probably worked.

It was really effective. I would

recommend it. I don't want to play

the game. The game of the cafe and,

let's do this. I have my own squad.

Because my daughter is friend with

your daughter doesn't mean you and I

have to be friends. I'm very busy. I

don't want to do the cake sale. I

suggested a fine programme were you

get fined maybe £50, that is good

for the charity you don't have to

turn up. They were selling my

cupcakes for 10p one time. Were is

your skill of economy.

After all

that effort. The tour will continue

for a little while you have been

working with Jimmy Carr and Rustel

Brand with the series called Roast.

Tell us, it is's full on. You are

almost like on a judging panel?

It's

more than almost. It is Roast

Battle. It's famous language of

comedy in America. I think Brits

have seen it more now. A person is

being roasted. To us roast something

a language of love am you have to

research the entire career and craft

really smart jokes at that person's

expense. It's hard to explain it.

It's an honour of we brought it to

the UK. Jimmy Carr, Comedy Central

UK. It's the sharpest minds in

comedy. Two comedians roasting one

another and we judge the jokes and

the roasts. It really, anything

goes. Real horrible things are said.

We have a clip from the new series

with Tom Allen and Suzy Ruffle.

He

is so bad at maintaining a

relationship his hair left him.

He

is the funniest 11-year-old boy I've

ever...

What do you think of these

two? I thought they were both

absolutely brilliant. I would say

that Suzy had the better roast.

There we go. Katherine's Glitter

tour continues around the country

until next March.

Now, lots of performers

suffer from stage fright,

but that's nothing compared

to the scary situations constantly

faced by explorer and

expedition leader Aldo Kane.

We'll be talking to him

in just a minute,

but first here he is abseiling

into one of the world's most

dangerous volcanos,

Nyiragongo, in the Congo.

I'm guessing at that.

APPLAUS Aldo is here now. You are

making your way down there to a lava

lake that is below?

I would rather

be doing that than being on live

television, for sure.

You are.

It's

one of the most bizarre things that

you can ever, ever imagine to be

doing with your life potentially

dangling on the end of a rope.

You

are taking geology gists down as

well, they do these important

scientific research and experiments

down there. You have the job of

assessing the safest time, the

safest route down. I mean, what are

you looking for? Can you ever tell

when the volcano is not going to

erupt?

In an answer, no, that's...

You can't tell. My job is to get the

scientists and the film crew down

into the volcano as far as we can

until I can say, pretty much with

the choice of everyone else that,

you know, it's safe or isn't safe to

go forward. That's a constant battle

when you are making television. But

we were also there following

scientists who are doing a real job.

For us, it's a really tricky line as

to when you can say it's safe or not

safe. Snoop nigh my first rule of

volcanoes for me is don't abseil

into them - at any time. It's

unbelievable. It's the biggest lava

lake on earth. It's one of the most

surreal experiences you can ever

have.

An ex-Royal Marine you have

been in extreme situations. Is it

hot down there? What was the

feeling? You were at a very high

height when you started?

Yes. The

volcano is nearly 3,500 meters. In

the Congo you are still experiencing

rain and hail and snow up there. So

to then abseil into where you think

it's actually going to be quite

warm, it's not warm until you get

right down towards the bottom.

Obviously, I mean, the people going

with you must be terrified. You must

be a tiny bit because you have all

of these people following your lead.

You have quite a unique approach to

fear, haven't you really? I'm

terrified when you go in there. You

have 15 people that are under your

care. There is only so much you can

physically do to stop rocks hitting

someone. Inside there, that's the

biggest risk. You know, I'm in my

job lucky enough or unlucky enough

to feel real fear five or six times

a year. Certainly in this year. It's

very much, for me, it's not about

feeling the fear and cracking on

with it or not. It's more about

actually understanding it, why are

you scared of that thing? What are

these feelings?

What are the

feelings? Is it excited. For me,

it's mainly just to focus me and to

get me... If I'm abseiling off Angel

Falls to make sure I've connect what

had I need to connect to stop me

freefalling. In the volcano it's not

just about me, it's about the

scientists and the film crew and the

camera kit.

On that note, how did

the kit react in that very extreme

situation of heat and whatever?

Metal work corrodes within a few

days. The Met al bits which

basically stop you falling and

dying. Some of the ladders put in

there. The gases corroded the rungs

off them. When you are crossing a

crevasse. No.

Inside a volcano.

Yeah, you know, it's super corrosive

to pretty much everything.

Are you

happy you have ticked that. Would

you go back?

No. I would like to say

never, but it's television. So no

doubt we will be back in there at

some point.

You took Tom Hardy and

Henry Cavill who plays Superman into

extreme environments. Please tell us

that at least Superman was tough

enough or did you have to rough them

up a bit?

No, these guys are used to

working and filming in extreme

environments. I'd like to say when I

first met Henry I thought, this is

going to be hard work. He's just got

the cover of this month's Men's

Health.

You are on there. With his

your top offed and the rope over

your shoulder. We will spare your

blushes. You can see more of Aldo in

Much xpeditio volcano which starts

this Sunday at 9.00pm on BBC Two. --

Expedition Volcano.

At the start of the show

we asked you for photos

of your World Cup winning

dinners, and you've sent

us lots of offerings.

We've selected two of

the tastiest looking ones.

Here is toad in the hole and here is

the paella. It's up to you.

The

first looks like something Aldo

would abseil into it. Toad on the

hole is something I would rather be

eating.

Katherine?

What is it?

Yorkshire pudding with sausages.

Not

that one.

One all. OK.

I would have

to go with toad in the hole. There

we go.

Sian, winner, winner, chicken

dinner - well, toad in the hole.

Earlier on we met the parents

of a baby who was waiting to have

surgery on her heart

to save her life.

Now you're about to see

a truly incredible

piece of medicine as she's

prepared for surgery.

Holly and Mark's first baby is in

neo anyway' intensive care. She was

born with a rare heart condition and

can't survive without open heart

surgery. New mum Holly can't take

her eyes off.

She's the most

gorgeous thing I've ever seen.

Her

condition is stable, she weighs

7.5lbs. She has a name.

I would like

to welcome to the home Ivy Hope

Florence Lloyd. We love her to bits.

Blue at birth, she has had one

procedure which has helped to flood

her heart with red oxygenated blood.

It's been so much harder and more

emotion al than I thought it would

be. Just seeing everything that

she's had to go through.

Ivy is nine

days old. Today, surgeons will

operate to switch the main arteries

of Ivy's heart. Andy Parry has

studied information on her heart.

Operating on someone else's child is

a considerable responsibility

knowing the risks associated with

the operation. Like everything in

life. It's a risk - benefit,

balance.

It's the moment her parents

have been dreading. Mark can't bear

to leave Ivy's side.

She's so

delicate. Going to surgery has been

really tough. But we realise that

she needs to have that to be well.

So...

It is 11am and the theatre is ready.

I am so worried about how we will

cope over the next few hours.

Holly

and Mark Begin the most anxious wait

of their lives. Their tiny baby is

now in the care of anaesthetist

Richard Berenger.

The smaller the

patient the more fiddly it is.

Mr

Parry will be operating on a heart

the size of a walnut. The coronary

arteries are minute.

You have to

move those arteries across without

stretching them or kinking them. If

you manage that then the heart works

nicely afterwards. If you don't get

it quite right, you can cause

limitations of blood to the heart

and the heart does not work as well.

Baby Ivy is ready for surgery. Her

blood pressure, the pleasure in her

veins and her brain will be

monitored throughout. -- the

pressure in her veins.

Week open the

chest. We dissect out the blood

vessels so we can do the operation.

Baby Ivy is given a drug so blood

clots do not form during the

surgery. Now she is connected to the

bypass machine with two tubes.

One

takes blood out of the heart, the

other takes blood back to the heart

having been through the lung bypass

machine.

Mr Parry will stop Ivy's

heart. The monitor goes to zero.

Ivy's heart is no longer beating.

The most challenging work is about

to begin. Such is the concentration

required, our camera is asked to

leave. Over the next Alan and a

half, the arteries are carefully

moved into the correct positions --

over the next hour and a half. When

our cameras are invited back in,

Ivy's heart is beating again. It is

good news.

We are off bypass. We

have done an arterial switch

operation. We have done an

echocardiogram which shows there is

good flow in the coronary arteries

and we should be closing this little

one's chest.

As soon as they are

told the operation is over, Mark and

Holly rush to paediatric intensive

care. Their relief is overwhelming.

Holly and Mark are here along with

baby Ivy. She has just been sick but

she is such a good little girl this

afternoon. I will get you a tissue.

We knew this was about to happen at!

Years the new dress you have got for

a television appearance. She is 15

weeks today?

She is doing

fantastically well. She is thriving.

Thank you for inviting our cameras

along. That must have been

incredibly difficult for you to make

the decision about whether you want

anyone to witness what you were

going through there.

The thought of

people being their in such a

difficult time of our lives was

really hard but the thought that we

could raise awareness of congenital

heart disease and the fantastic work

the British art can -- the British

Heart Foundation do was important.

Are there any restrictions on what

she will be able to do growing up?

There are a few which we have been

told. No piercings and tattoos.

That

is a shame!

I am really happy about

that.

And contact sport, she needs

to be careful, but apart from that,

she should be able to lead a

completely normal life.

And just a

word on Mr Andrew Parry, your

surgeon. As parents completely

helpless in that situation, you are

just putting everything in his

hands?

He's a super talented guy and

we trust him 100% with ivy and he

has done a fantastic job. He really

cares about what he does.

Thank you

for letting us film you and

congratulations. Thank you, Ivy.

Have a wonderful Christmas. I am

sure you will.

Vic Reeves is carving out quite

a career for himself as an artist

using his real name Jim Moir.

So when we challenged him to spend

a day by the seaside painting,

he jumped at the chance.

We are moving on now.

We are moving on now.

However, he ended up slightly more

windswept than he'd bargained for.

This year, the One Show has been

sending people who love painting to

revisit coastal scenes painted by

William Daniel. He produced 300

prints called a voyage around

Britain. They had sunny weather but

I have drawn the short straw. They

sent me to Dover in October, and I

am loving it. So ferocious, the wind

and the rain and the waves. It is

exhilarating. Seaweed just flew by.

I love adverse weather conditions,

and I love the sea. It gets right

into your soul. It's a seascape.

Right, I'm pleased enough with that

but my true challenge today is

finding a particular view painted by

William Daniel three centuries ago.

That is called Shakespeare's cliff,

so-called because it was in King

Lear. I am here to paint this scene

which Daniel painted in the early

1800 's. It looks pretty much

identical. I'm in exactly the same

spot. Here I am painting this

brutalist 16 in brutal weather and I

will paint it in a brutalist dip

style. Thank you. And diesel would

probably blow away so I am securing

my canvas with boulders. I am using

acrylics so I need some water. This

painting will have the water, ground

up chalk from the cliffs, and rust

from a shipwreck. Look, that is

quite nice, isn't it? And I can use

colours which aren't really even

there, it put a bit of red there

because I can. Daniel was here quite

clearly on a lovely day with a

picnic. I spend most of my time in a

studio, not painting landscapes,

worried is nice and warm. But I must

say, it is really good fun doing

this. Since Daniel's time, two

railway tunnels have been cut

through the cliff. And the Channel

Tunnel runs underneath. At this very

moment, families are off on lovely

camping trips to France on holiday,

right under the cliff. But that is

not the only way to get to France,

oh no. If you don't have a ticket,

there is an alternative. You are not

contemplating a cross-channel swim

in this weather, are you?

Absolutely

not. This is a little bit too rough.

Have you done it more than once?

34

in all.

What possessed you? This is

the busiest shipping road in the

world, isn't it?

Yes, but in 150

years of Channel swimming, that has

not been a single accident.

I think

I want to have a gun ships at the

end of it.

You get lots of strange

sorts. I get about a mile out and I

think, whose stupid idea was this?

It is a sense of achievement to

challenge yourself to the absolute

limit.

Because it is there. And

Shakespeare Cliff is there is well,

for me to complete my painting. I

love using acrylics and I love using

the elements to shape the painting.

Letting the wind attack it now. Yes,

I reckon that is cooked.

There we are, a day's work in Dover

and its environs. A seascape and

there we have Shakespeare's cliff.

Ladies and gentlemen, I can

thoroughly recommend painting in

adverse weather conditions. It

cleanses the soul and makes you feel

alive!

I am going to try it.

I bet he was

freezing. Good effort though.

Well, that's just about

it from us tonight.

Thanks to all our guests -

Richard and Katherine -

as always, its been a pleasure.

Richard's, The World Cup

Of Everything is out now,

and Katherine's Glitter Room tour

continues

around the country until March.
