:00:14. > :00:16.Hello and welcome to The One Show with Alex Jones.
:00:17. > :00:21.Tonight we're going on a bit of voyage of discovery.
:00:22. > :00:29.We'll reveal what inspired these mysterious works of art.
:00:30. > :00:37.Intriguing. We'll also have this. Dad had to climb over this offence
:00:38. > :00:46.because the pigs had got into the middle of the garden into one of
:00:47. > :00:54.Margot's Gazebos. That was Lucy Briers remembering the set of the
:00:55. > :01:04.good life as she renders her dad Richard. Lovely film. And why is
:01:05. > :01:12.Maureen Lipman doing this? I have always been a ham. This is the last
:01:13. > :01:22.appalling pun I will make. It's Maureen! Wow! You will never forget
:01:23. > :01:29.your first pork walk. We have some experience of pork walking. What
:01:30. > :01:36.were you doing? Just walking a pig. Give us the context. I'm doing a
:01:37. > :01:42.programme called Discovering Britain. Part of that was a farm
:01:43. > :01:48.shows. I got to choose. Often Larry Lamb would say, I want to do that
:01:49. > :01:56.and then swap. I haven't been near a pig. I got to oil its spots. Really
:01:57. > :02:02.nice animal. Pigs are lovely animals. Very clean. You can't help
:02:03. > :02:10.give them a little scratch. It is not briskly. It is appealing.
:02:11. > :02:17.Smooth. Toiling a pig's spots. Just another day in Hollywood! We had
:02:18. > :02:25.sheep on another programme. We will have a chat about what you've been
:02:26. > :02:29.discovering later. May be we can while a pig if we go to the
:02:30. > :02:34.Yorkshire show again. I have friends who can and so it -- friends who can
:02:35. > :02:38.sort that out. Being a victim of theft
:02:39. > :02:40.is unpleasant under any circumstances, but imagine how
:02:41. > :02:43.you would feel if it wasn't a just a possession that was
:02:44. > :02:45.taken - but your pet. And unfortunately it's on the rise,
:02:46. > :02:48.with more than a hundred dogs Dan's been to meet some
:02:49. > :02:57.of the owners trying to track Stealing a dog and selling it on is
:02:58. > :03:01.seen as easy money for some criminals who care nothing for the
:03:02. > :03:11.emotional cost to others. With dogs like this, you can see how they
:03:12. > :03:20.become part of the family. Monty was devastated when her dog Gog was
:03:21. > :03:27.stolen. She was a local celebrity in Leicester. She loved posing for
:03:28. > :03:36.pictures. She was just such a gentle, caring character. Gog's
:03:37. > :03:43.devotion helped Monty deal with cancer. She would raise the alarm if
:03:44. > :03:50.I collapsed. She would bark at people going by until somebody
:03:51. > :03:57.helped. Gog was in a buggy when she was stolen from outside a shopping
:03:58. > :04:02.centre. Police released a CCTV image of a woman wheeling her away.
:04:03. > :04:08.Volunteers handed out hundreds of leaflets across the city but there
:04:09. > :04:13.is still no sign of Gog. According to the animal charity Blue Cross
:04:14. > :04:18.there are around 1500 pet deaths every year and police say that
:04:19. > :04:24.organised gangs are now getting in on the act, often holding pedigree
:04:25. > :04:30.dogs to ransom. Many dogs are never returned but sold on to buyers, used
:04:31. > :04:34.for breeding on puppy farms but if there is no take, ending up just
:04:35. > :04:42.being abandoned in centres like this one. Ella works at this centre in
:04:43. > :04:49.Loughborough says that micro-chipping pets is crucial. If
:04:50. > :04:53.owners had the pet micro-chipped it would prevent the situation because
:04:54. > :05:02.dogs can be traced back to the owner. Micro-chipping becomes
:05:03. > :05:06.compulsory across the UK in April. A simple scan will reveal the owner of
:05:07. > :05:12.any dog. Chipping is not the only technology being put to use. Some
:05:13. > :05:22.dog owners have taken to the Internet to get the message out
:05:23. > :05:27.about stolen pets. When Murphy went missing while being exercised, his
:05:28. > :05:38.owner put messages out on social media. I had 15,000 people following
:05:39. > :05:44.Murphy's story. It went mental. We have 60 odd thousand now in total.
:05:45. > :05:51.It's nuts. Three months later, all that online publicity paid off when
:05:52. > :05:59.Andy received a phone calls from an RSPCA officer who had seen the
:06:00. > :06:04.publicity. It's definitely him? His partner caught the moment on film
:06:05. > :06:12.and posted it online. Murphy's coming home. Safely back with the
:06:13. > :06:19.family, the site set up to find him is now being used to track down
:06:20. > :06:25.other stolen pets. If I've got 30,000, 40,000 people following my
:06:26. > :06:31.page, why not help other people? We can go nationwide within seconds.
:06:32. > :06:39.The police are very busy and dog that is not a massive priority so it
:06:40. > :06:47.is down to is, really. This is one of many campaigns online aimed with
:06:48. > :06:55.finding lost and stolen dogs. Gog now has her very own hashtag. Owner
:06:56. > :07:00.Monty is pinning her hopes on finding her. What are your hopes?
:07:01. > :07:08.Just to get her back. I'm just asking everybody to pray for us.
:07:09. > :07:13.Thank you, Dan. Our heart goes out to Monty. If you know anything, do
:07:14. > :07:24.the right thing and contact Leicestershire police. Were joined
:07:25. > :07:29.by Dominic, Tamsin and Kali the dog. We heard in the film that
:07:30. > :07:37.micro-chipping is becoming crumpled three in April. It's quite a simple
:07:38. > :07:42.procedure. It is from the six of April. The chip is the size of a
:07:43. > :07:52.grain of rice. You just stick a needle in, job done. If you have dog
:07:53. > :07:59.and you haven't had it chipped after the 6th of April, you will be fined
:08:00. > :08:07.?500. Over eight weeks, it should be chipped as well. You should chip
:08:08. > :08:13.your monkey while you're at it. It's important to keep the information on
:08:14. > :08:19.it updated. When you move house, you change loads of things. Utility
:08:20. > :08:26.bills, everything. You need to change that. You can scan it and a
:08:27. > :08:32.code comes up and tells you who owns it. There are loads of points when
:08:33. > :08:35.it can happen. Take it to a vet, if the police are involved. If it is
:08:36. > :08:48.straight and goes to a rescue centre. Can you chip it again when
:08:49. > :08:58.you move? Decode is registered to the owner. If it changes, you can
:08:59. > :09:07.change that data. Putting a collar on your dog is really handy if you
:09:08. > :09:12.tell people it is neutered or spade. People are frightened that the dog
:09:13. > :09:18.might be stolen for breeding. It is something they panic over. On my
:09:19. > :09:24.collar, I show that the dog has been spade. The scars from surgery are so
:09:25. > :09:33.tiny so it's not obvious that it has happened, especially to a girl dog.
:09:34. > :09:38.Just be aware of strange conversation, as well. If something
:09:39. > :09:45.comes up. We love to talk about our dogs. If you are out with one,
:09:46. > :09:48.especially one as beautiful as Kali. If people ask questions that make
:09:49. > :09:54.you feel uncomfortable, about the dog's history, be aware of that.
:09:55. > :10:00.Change your route. Never leave them outside of the shops or in back
:10:01. > :10:06.gardens. Dom, you have got some active cases.
:10:07. > :10:08.Sky is a female rottweiler who was stolen from the rear
:10:09. > :10:13.of the Smawthorne Hotel, Smawthorne Lane, Castleford,
:10:14. > :10:19.on 2nd December in the early hours of the morning.
:10:20. > :10:30.Whoever stole her, broke in and had to break a padlock. It was not an
:10:31. > :10:36.opportunist. A word about Max the springer spaniel. He disappeared on
:10:37. > :10:39.Christmas Day. It was being looked after by relatives who must feel
:10:40. > :10:46.pretty bad. He's wearing a chain collar
:10:47. > :11:01.and is micro-chipped. Important to take photos of your
:11:02. > :11:04.dogs from different angles, if they have got interesting markings that
:11:05. > :11:12.can help identify. Not just one of the face. Peter -- beautifully
:11:13. > :11:17.behaved Kali there. Thanks very much.
:11:18. > :11:21.First came the Loch Ness Monster. Then there was the Beast of Bodmin.
:11:22. > :11:23.And now there's a new menace stalking the streets of Britain.
:11:24. > :11:26.It's the rise of the smartphone zombie or "smombie".
:11:27. > :11:34.And no matter where you go - you cannot escape them.
:11:35. > :11:45.The smombies are here. They are everywhere. They won't stop for
:11:46. > :11:50.anything. Smombies are people who are totally focused on their mobile
:11:51. > :11:56.devices. Dangerously oblivious to the world around them. In
:11:57. > :11:59.Birmingham, this woman was lucky to escape unscathed after walking into
:12:00. > :12:08.trouble while sending a text message. This statue had to be moved
:12:09. > :12:15.after entrance to smombies kept walking into it. What was happening?
:12:16. > :12:19.People were walking straight into it while they were texting looking down
:12:20. > :12:27.at the ground. The entrance to it is six foot five. Do you think people
:12:28. > :12:30.are becoming smartphone zombies? You see whole families in restaurants
:12:31. > :12:36.all on their phones. They don't speak to each other. Two years ago,
:12:37. > :12:46.this artist predicted that we were all working in -- walking into
:12:47. > :12:54.trouble. He is fascinated by the curse of the smombie. People are
:12:55. > :12:58.used to having information when they want it instantly. It is an
:12:59. > :13:05.addiction. You feel compelled to look at your phone. You want to see
:13:06. > :13:12.what it is. You need to look up. There is a whole world that we are
:13:13. > :13:20.not appreciating. Time for direct action. I am going to lift the
:13:21. > :13:26.smombies out of their trans. I noticed that you were walking and
:13:27. > :13:31.looking at your smartphone. I wasn't looking at you. Luckily, I dived out
:13:32. > :13:36.of the way and there could have been a collision. I was walking down
:13:37. > :13:44.Clapham high street and I was doing this, I banged into somebody and I
:13:45. > :13:50.looked up and it was Mick Hucknall. Have you had any mishaps? I was on
:13:51. > :14:01.my phone, she was on hers. She didn't see me coming and collided
:14:02. > :14:08.into me. Higher. All right? You were walking, looking down. How do you
:14:09. > :14:13.avoid this saps? Peripheral vision, avoid mishaps. Do the odd look up.
:14:14. > :14:27.You don't want to miss the love of your life. LAUGHTER
:14:28. > :14:37.I'm on The One Show, actually. Theron! Maureen! Are you one of
:14:38. > :14:48.these smombies. Do you walk down the road oblivious? I'm appalling. I am
:14:49. > :14:53.addicted. It is terrible. Our eyes. Function in. I have pictures of my
:14:54. > :14:57.grandchildren. I have so many pictures I have stopped looking.
:14:58. > :15:02.They can get on with it, I will just look at pictures. You've been
:15:03. > :15:11.looking at all this beautiful scenery of Britain.
:15:12. > :15:17.It is about the eccentricities of the British Isles and things you do
:15:18. > :15:23.not know are going on, discovering things. It is my education. Me and
:15:24. > :15:36.Larry Lamb, an old friend. We roused about together. We get on well, we
:15:37. > :15:43.joke. Going to see artists studios and work in a pottery gallery, I am
:15:44. > :15:48.not much of a traveller. To be on Crosby Beach, ten minutes outside
:15:49. > :15:54.Liverpool and see the tide go out and all of the statues of Antony
:15:55. > :15:57.Gormley was just amazing. They all have literature and on different
:15:58. > :16:08.parts of the body. It is tough at the bottom really. I drank rum with
:16:09. > :16:11.people in a Guildhall in Warwickshire and Castle Howard, I
:16:12. > :16:17.actually persuaded George Howard to talk to me about keeping a stately
:16:18. > :16:26.home when it costs an Armani and a leg. They were the first home to
:16:27. > :16:34.open to the public, won't they? Famous set of Brideshead Revisited.
:16:35. > :16:40.A very popular spot. Very popular. You queue for everything in the
:16:41. > :16:45.world. To see Castle Howard, can there be anywhere more beautiful
:16:46. > :16:48.than that place? It really is breathtaking.
:16:49. > :16:51.Well, let's see you and Larry turning on the castle's rather
:16:52. > :17:14.Shall I start it? It is tough. Catch hold. It is. We did that. We did
:17:15. > :17:20.that. This is a first. I have never turned on a fountain before. Have
:17:21. > :17:27.you turned on anything else? I'd turned on a sixpence. I did when
:17:28. > :17:34.they told me I would work with you. It is a lovely relationship. He is
:17:35. > :17:41.little, playful. He is playful, a bit of a whinger. He is a really
:17:42. > :17:48.attractive man. He is. This is the way it is going. It is unusual to
:17:49. > :17:53.get an actor in this country who is a big bruiser and very sensitive as
:17:54. > :17:58.well. He loves it. He cannot get out there quick enough. What we going to
:17:59. > :18:04.see today? That is great. I am cynical and ballroom dancing with
:18:05. > :18:07.elderly... Actually people my age in Scarborough. He is the perfect
:18:08. > :18:12.travelling companion them. -- Ben. Discovering Britain continues
:18:13. > :18:14.tomorrow night at 9 o'clock Viruses usually mean staying under
:18:15. > :18:18.the duvet and hot drinks in bed. But artist Luke Jerram believes
:18:19. > :18:21.they can also be things of beauty and has created a series of glass
:18:22. > :18:36.sculptures to challenge the way People respond to the work in all
:18:37. > :18:40.sorts of different ways. Most people are really drawn to it because the
:18:41. > :18:44.objects are incredibly beautiful. When they realise what it is they
:18:45. > :18:53.are slightly repelled by it. The number of people who are HIV
:18:54. > :19:00.positive... The ebola epidemic threatens society. This is how they
:19:01. > :19:05.look. I am being truthful to nature. The idea came from looking in
:19:06. > :19:13.newspapers actually of images of viruses. I found out quite quickly
:19:14. > :19:18.that viruses do not have any colour. Scientists often add colours to the
:19:19. > :19:25.imagery to highlight particular areas but also to add emotional
:19:26. > :19:29.impact. I started creating this body of work to reflect my understanding
:19:30. > :19:39.of viruses, as these invisible and colourless objects. The artwork ends
:19:40. > :19:51.up in museums around the world. This is a glass sculpture of HIV. This is
:19:52. > :19:57.papilloma. This is avian flu. I was suffering from swine flu whilst
:19:58. > :20:04.doing this, it was very strange. suffering from swine flu whilst
:20:05. > :20:08.Right now I am going to make a diagram to illustrate the HIV
:20:09. > :20:12.sculpture we are going to make. This is not the first time I have created
:20:13. > :20:19.this sculpture. Gradually I am having to adapt and change the model
:20:20. > :20:22.to keep up with scientific understanding. Now I can go and see
:20:23. > :20:28.Brian and Norman to make the artwork with them. Now we are off to
:20:29. > :20:32.Sunderland. Brian and Norman have been making this work and working
:20:33. > :20:38.with me for ten years. They have a whole lifetime of experience. I
:20:39. > :20:43.think we are in safe hands. Out of the blue he asked us if we would
:20:44. > :20:49.make some glass virus sculptures. What is that? The first thing we
:20:50. > :20:56.make some glass virus sculptures. need to do is pull a point on the
:20:57. > :21:04.edge of this achieving. There is some magic with glass. We create all
:21:05. > :21:13.the interior DNA that is going inside the virus. All of that will
:21:14. > :21:23.be made first. Then, I will put some of these little spots on free hand.
:21:24. > :21:28.Then we sandblasted it. This is the crucial part. If it is not done
:21:29. > :21:33.right, it will fall to bits and you have to start again. You have to be
:21:34. > :21:41.as though the inner glass is floating to the outer. There you
:21:42. > :21:48.are! That is the finished object to the next stage. For me, this is the
:21:49. > :21:54.most exciting part of the process. We are going to get the DNA of the
:21:55. > :21:57.artwork which will be sealed in to the glass sphere. A bit more. That
:21:58. > :22:13.is enough. That's fine. That is it. We are now at the end of
:22:14. > :22:23.the process, which involves fixing the glass proteins on to the final
:22:24. > :22:26.sculpture. Using special glass blue which fuels with ultraviolet light.
:22:27. > :22:35.sculpture. Using special glass blue Look at that! There we go. -- blue.
:22:36. > :22:40.This is the final, completed artwork. It looks brilliant. It will
:22:41. > :22:44.fit in a glass collection or museum somewhere in the world for the next
:22:45. > :22:52.years. It is a thing of beauty and quality which we can all be proud
:22:53. > :22:59.of. Brilliant! Wonderful craftsmanship from Brian and Norman.
:23:00. > :23:04.A big shout out to them. I would love one of those! I would love one
:23:05. > :23:10.of those! The exploration of the body inside is the next great
:23:11. > :23:17.continent, isn't it? The brain and cells. Discovering the body, that is
:23:18. > :23:30.the new series. I do not have to go inside Larry's body! Shall we have a
:23:31. > :23:40.quick look at some of your artwork? This is more head in. Angelemur
:23:41. > :23:55.Jolie. Brad Pitt Bull. Benedict Humperbact. We just need to have a
:23:56. > :24:09.look at Matt. Bat maker, I love that! Salamandra Jones, I love it!
:24:10. > :24:14.It is like seeing double. Many of us will remember
:24:15. > :24:17.Richard Briers as Tom in the Good Life -
:24:18. > :24:20.not least for his tatty jumpers Here's his daughter Lucy
:24:21. > :24:34.and her personal memories When my father died, the news made
:24:35. > :25:18.the front page that he would have been taken aback by that.
:25:19. > :25:26.I remember the one where the chicken escapes and manages to leap onto a
:25:27. > :25:31.bus. The funny thing is that my father was really not keen on
:25:32. > :25:40.chickens. I think because they were just a bit thick. And this is where,
:25:41. > :25:44.posher than posh, Margot Leadbetter lived. She was outraged that her
:25:45. > :25:55.next door neighbours have made their garden into a farmyard. I remember a
:25:56. > :25:57.pig escaped through this bit of friends and dad
:25:58. > :26:03.pig escaped through this bit of the fence because the pigs had got
:26:04. > :26:13.into the middle of the garden to one of Margot's gazebos. He realised
:26:14. > :26:21.Margot was looking straight at him. Morning, Tom! The Tom Good jumpers,
:26:22. > :26:25.most of them were my dad's that my dad was not a big Gardner, he would
:26:26. > :26:30.mow the lawn and that was it. My sister and I used to see where all
:26:31. > :26:34.the interior shots were filmed and there was a particularly exciting
:26:35. > :26:37.time when the Queen was watching. My father would be so nervous before a
:26:38. > :26:43.live recording that he would often be sick before it started. I'm just
:26:44. > :26:50.going to pop back there and have a quick shake. He was always worried
:26:51. > :26:53.that success would not last and we would be left with nothing. I was
:26:54. > :26:58.nine when I decided I wanted to be an actress. My father would come to
:26:59. > :27:02.watch school plays and say, I do not think you are good enough. I tried
:27:03. > :27:07.to stick to drama like pride and prejudice. I never wanted to be seen
:27:08. > :27:12.as a less funny version of my dad. He was incredibly supportive. I was
:27:13. > :27:17.lucky enough to do a play with my dad and my mum, the actress, and
:27:18. > :27:21.Davis. What I loved was his sharpness of wit. He never liked to
:27:22. > :27:25.be away from the family for longer than six months. When my father
:27:26. > :27:30.asked the monarch of the Glen writers to Gil him off, they found a
:27:31. > :27:36.rather cruel way of doing this he put explosives on a model boat and
:27:37. > :27:44.his rather uses dog thought he wanted it brought back to him and,
:27:45. > :27:49.bang! In his 50s, my dad got really tired of being then principally as a
:27:50. > :27:52.TV actor and he returned to the stage with big, classical roles. He
:27:53. > :28:01.was really nervous about it but he should not have been. I always
:28:02. > :28:09.thought your dad was the perfect casting for Uncle Vanya. He made me
:28:10. > :28:14.laugh every day I worked with him. I would bite my lip and try not to
:28:15. > :28:18.courts will stop he was like a humorous hand grenade and explode
:28:19. > :28:24.with humour in every direction. You never knew it was coming. Losing him
:28:25. > :28:28.was terrible. My mum and dad were married for 57 years. We were a very
:28:29. > :28:33.tight unit and we had to work hard about what we do as a three. I
