23/03/2017 The One Show

Hello and welcome to The One Show, with Angela Scanlon. And Matt Baker.

Tonight, we are joined by two women who have been investigating ways to

hold back the years and stay young in later life. We are and as you can

see, it looks like they have pretty much cracked the formula. Please

welcome Maureen Lipman and Arlene Phillips. Welcome to you both.

So, is making a documentary about holding back to years the best way

of holding back the years? I don't know! I mean, it seemed like a good

idea at the time. Yes! It is obviously working. As far as the

list of things go that you do to kind of... I rub brake fluid into my

face! I recommend that to anybody who is watching! Stick yogurt in

your ears! For me, it is keep dancing. Just dance every day. Get

out of bed and dance. Any particular type of dancing? I do it all. Yeah,

but I generally, when I get up, it starts off with a morning stretch

and release. OK. Then I get moving. You do a full

warm-up in the morning? I do. I wouldn't say full. I would say a

50-minute. That's not full in anybody's book. -- 15 minutes. I do

15 minutes. I have to wake all these parts up. Generally I am going into

rehearsal. I find my parts are quite awake, I

was once on these shows with Raquel Welch and I said, I was asked what I

would do, I said, I wake up, I reach out of bed for a mug of coffee and I

bring it to my mouth like that. That exercises all that bit. She was

livid. She was not amused! Really. I would think that was hilarious if

they told me in the morning it was coffee lifting! If a restaurant was

rated zero out of five for hygiene, you probably wouldn't want to eat

there. Probably not. If it with us a school canteen with that rating,

well children may not have much choice. As Joe has been finding out,

poor hygiene in school kitchens is more common than you would expect.

Thanks to high-profile campaigns and Government initiatives, we all

expect the food served up in our schools to be of a high standard,

including how it is prepared. But our one show investigation has shown

some schools it is so poor it has put children's health at risk.

School kitchens are checked by food safety inspectors. Sometimes as

often as every six months. Just like restaurants, bars and take aways. At

this school in London the children enjoy the very highest standards and

they know why hygiene matters. What is the problem with a dirty kitchen?

We might get sick. I would be very disgusting to eat from there. I

wouldn't eat from there. Neither would I! If you could score this

kitchen out of five, how many would you give it? Five. And they'd be

right. This school kitchen is one of more of 25,000 in educational

establishments which do have a top hygiene rating. But there are

schools which fall well short of that five-star standard.

In fact, recent inspections have found nearly 260 school kitchens

across the UK have failed to meet satisfactory hygiene standards.

Three schools in England have a zero star rating. It means conditions are

so bad urgent improvements are required.

The schools which have failed to make the grade are weir Ken head in

the Wirral. Cliftonville in Kent Andre on the manor -- in Kent and

Drayton Manor in Kent. Some of the details were deeply

worrying. Mike Williams is a former environmental health inspector. He's

looked at the reports which found issues from no hot water for hand

washing to major concerns over pest control. The worst at Drayton Manor

High school. How bad is it? As low as you can get from an environmental

health point of view. In the kitchen itself and then it goes on to say,

yes, we've actually got mouse droppings on the food itself. It's

an utter failing. From the point of view of children, they are a captive

audience in the school, eating five days a week, it is a disaster. Not

what any parent would want to see. So, do parents actually realise

there are schools with such poor standards. There was one school in

London where they found rodent droppings on open packets of food.

You are joking! I think this is very dangerous. Very, very dangerous. I

cannot comprehend that. How is it there are schools with no stars and

they are allowed to be open? There is so much talk about feeding them

properly, you would like to think it is in a clean kitchen and up to a

certain standard. Now, the inspection system is in place to

ensure failings like this are picked up. But our inquiry also revealed

something else. An earlier inspection of Drayton

Manor high school did not show the concerns. Helen oversees the food

safety team, which eventually gave the school its zero rating. In the

case of Drayton Manor how did an inspector not Street some of those

details? It was done by a third. I can only think that inspector was

not good enough. We took action to remove that third party contractor

from our programme. Do parents have faith in your inspections? All our

inspectors are highly qualified. I am confident any inspection would be

of a high standard. Drayton Manor now says:

A new five star rating is being processed. Birkenhead said, it

closed and cleaned its kitchens and is waiting for its rating to be

upgraded. Cliftonville said, its zero rating was down to an issue

with its hot water supply, which is now put right. It is awaiting

re-inspection. Meanwhile, if you want to see which schools are top of

the class when it comes to hygiene, then head to the Food Standards

Agency website. Let's hope when it comes to food safety, every school

is soon providing a five-star service.

Thank you. There are over 25,000 schools that do have the top rating.

As you saw there, you can check your local school on that website.

Maureen, do you have any fondness, memories of school dinners? I liked

the dinners at my secondary school. They had puddings and we had tinned

fruits. Mandarins. I would give them my mints, which I

wasn't going to have and I fly cemetery and there was one called

hot snot. What was that one? I quite liked it. If I had watched that I

would be out with my Tupperware the next morning. It is very scary.

Let's talk about Holding Back The Years. This new programme and there

are three other famous faces as well. You can see Ainsley Harriott,

Angela Rippon and Tina Turner. It is your own ventures. -- and Bill

Turnbull. It it is your own ventures. I think one of the things

you never think about when you are of a certain age is that you are

still going to feel exactly the same in your head. And the intent to

patronise is not there in the show. I said to the director, I don't want

to do bingo. But we did do bingo and it was really good fun! We did bingo

and we did a voluntary, royal voluntary society lunch, which was

fabulous. We did men in sheds. And that's, that was sort of started in

Hull by a guy who was divorced and alone. He moved to Hull to be with

one of his children who then got a job somewhere else. He started this

thing, which is big in Australia, where all these guys get together in

a shed and they make things for charity and they just... They have

lunch. They play dominoes. It was really nice. I loved it. And it was

more exploring things, not just diet and exercise but how people connect?

You are right. It is about how you get out. And I actually and I have a

busy life, but I can sit in the house from 4pm and not go out

because it is sod easy. We are all so proud. We don't want to look as

though we are needy. So, some of these things like finding the right

dog for the right elderly person - there's a whole thing, a place

outside Hull, Jerry Greens where they put the person with the dog. It

was an eye-opener. I was moved. Lets see you here at a tar biand Joans

club. -- at a Darby and Joan Club. What do you get out of being here? I

can get my wife out. I am concerned with her mixing with people. Who is

your gorgeous wife? She's at the next table. I am your raffle draw

for the day... Oh, you can feel the anticipation. The winner of these

prizes is 188. While my glamorous assistant hands out the prizes,

strangely not even the lucky winners seem to want the sister dines. She

doesn't want the sister The sardines. She will give her them

if she wants them or not. For you, life is all about having a go at

something. Absolutely. Let's see you in position here. What is happening?

Skydiving. Because a group called GOD - growing old disgracefully,

they do a different adventure every month. They get together. They do

something either they did when they were young or something that they

have never, ever tried before. And skydiving was one of those things.

And they were an amazing group because some of them had lost their

partners. Some of them were, had been retired before they wanted to

be retired. They wanted to stay in work, but were not allowed to. So

they got together. This is a huge group, all over the country, that do

something adventurous every single month.

You get skydiving and I get sardines! I love that. You feel like

your face is going to be blown off. This is also a good idea. Yours!

That is a very strange feeling. It got so much wind, coming towards

you, to balance on, and your face, it is the weirdest thing, it is like

instant face-lifts, 50 times... That is a point, you cover cosmetic

surgery, you do the lot. You can watch it. Holding Back The Years

starts on Monday morning at 9.15 on BBC One. This week we have been

showing you how the money you give to Comic Relief manges a difference

to people's lives. If you have donated a very big thank you.

Caroline Quentin is visiting a project in Lincolnshire that uses

horse riding to help children with disians. One in five people in the

UK has a disability. Young disabled people with complex needs, horse

riding has been proved to be a great activity. Not helping them

physically but mentally too. Sadly, sometimes accessing these activities

can be difficult. Can't it Danny? When we first the diagnosis, we were

told she would never walk. She would never communicate, she would never

feed herself. This is eight-year-old Sharissa. This is her mum and her

dad. Do a selfie. Sit with her for five minutes on your own and she

likes up your world, doesn't she. She does. She has so much love. When

she was Martin Sixsmith monetary policies old she was diagnosed with

angel man's syndrome, a rare genetic disorder. She has global development

delay, she has low muscle tone and a jerky balance disorder as well. Just

over a year ago, she began riding horses as Lincolnshire would's

Riding for the Disabled. When she first went riding, she couldn't

control her body and hold her posture straight. Her head was like

this, the hat was too heavy. The curvature on her spine is an S

shape, so the horse riding is making her correct her posture, so it is

correcting the spine. She sits up really straight. It is

phenomenal. It must be an exciting time to see her doing things you

didn't think she would ever do. Amazing, how much she has come along

in that year, and it is is really down to the ladies who do it

Voltaire. They are brilliant with kids up there. Absolutely brilliant.

Throughout the country I think there are about 280 riding for the

disabled groups. The physical benefits are obvious but it is also

about the mental wellbeing. It is about confidence, boosting

self-esteem, and having that relationship with the horse. One,

two, three and up. There is a place where young and old can come with

all sorts of needs, disabilities. . And you can come and groom and just

stroke, being with the animals. Nine-year-old Kate has been coming

horse riding with her mum Sara. Kate has had so many difficult times

through a very short life. She is only nine, she has had major brain

surgery, she has had a lot of struggles.

Kate suffers from the condition complex high row ehusband. You start

to realise you are slightly different at her age, you have

different needs. But riding, they, those go away.

Kate is on a pony and she is riding and she is just like efshlts. How do

you feel when you watch Kate? So proud. So proud, because she just

oozes confidence. Smiles from the minute she gets on to the minute she

gets off. Do you have a favourite pony here?

This one. Why do you like him so much? ? He is just a very good boy.

What do you look forward to most? Seeing Cracker.

Look at her! There are so many disabled young people in this

country whose lives are transformed by coming to places like this, to do

activities like these, and with your help, we can continue to make their

lives better. And at least 40% of your donations

will be spent here in the UK, on projects just like the one that

we've seen there, with the rest going to help some of the poorest

communities round the world. You can give any amount of line and tonight

you can text to donate ten or 20 pounds. This is yes, you cannot help

but donate 10 pound so text the word HELP to 70210. That is 70210. Or to

donate ?20 text HELP to 70220. Those texts will cost your donation plus

your standard network message charge and 100% of your donation will go to

Comic Relief. You must be 16 or over and do ask the bill payer's

permission. For more information go to the website.

Now, for this year's Comic Relief we have asked do you send in videos of

your best laughs, and thank you so much for sending in all you have. We

have been having a great time watching them. We really have. We

have a challenge for you Maureen and Arlene. We are going to play a game

with you, where you guess the laugh. OK, so it's either going to be a

man, a woman or a baby. So tune your ears. Here we go with the first

laugh, is it a man, woman or baby? LAUGHTER

. It is a human! I guess a woman. You are both saying women. Let's

find out see if you are right. LAUGHTER

. This is Emma. This is Emma. A big thank you to Duncan Pearson for

sending that one in. OK, one down. This is laugh two, is it a man,

woman or baby? LAUGHTER

Sounds like the laughing clown in Blackpool. A man. I say that might

be a baby. Let's see who is responsible for that chuckle. Shall

we call it. That's a man. That is Lee Willed brand from the Cotswolds.

Let us go to laugh number three, man, woman or baby?

LAUGHTER . We are all saying baby. Let's find

out. It is. That was two-year-old Louie there. Thanks to mum Katie. I

would have loved if that was an old man.

LAUGHTER Quickly we have some time to say you

are preparing for a play aren't you Maureen, how are you getting on? I

am always preparing for a play. This is lettuce And Ho Vang with the

policety Kendal. You are going to be on stage Arlene with a bit of an

audience with? The glitz, glamour and goes sieve sip, I will be going

on tour, starting at Edinburgh Festival, with stories and gossip.

Who should be most afraid? Is that a one woman show. Yes. Elton John was

very rude to me on car pool karaoke, so I have to get my own back. We

will have to leave it there. I can hear his lawyers on the phone. Our

next film we believe is a true wildlife exclusive, the first time

one particular animal has been born on camera. If there was a TV channel

for molluscs, yes a TV channel for molluscs this would be Call the

Midwife. We find British beaches littered

with a weird lifeless spongy debris. You might have seen these rather

strange looking clumps lying on the beaches, specially after storms and

wondered what they are. This is known as a sea wash ball, because

back in this day sailors used to use them as sponge, but it is the

beginning of a story of a rather unusual creature, from beneath the

waves. I have come to the men nigh strait,

the stretch of water between Anglesey and mainland Wales on the

hunt for the animal that creates them.

It is a scavenger found in large numbers where there has been trawler

fishing. Here we are, this beauty is the common well. It's a sea snail.

One of the largest that is found in Europe. There was a time when you

could buy these six a penny and have as a seaside treat, but there is

more to this than meets the eye, because the whelk is a predator.

Using a tube shaped organ, whelks sniff out their prey. With razor

sharp teeth they can boreholes in a barnacle shell and suck out their

insides. And with this large muscular foot

they can pin down and suffocate cockles.

But, it takes up to six years for whelks to reach this size. And life

for them begins in the comfort of the spongy sea wash ball.

Capturing the life cycle of the whelk in the wild would be

impossible, but at Bangor University they have been breeding them. This

offered us the chance to film some remarkable whelk behaviour for the

very first time. With no way of predicting the exact moment the

females would start spawning, we rigged a time-lapse camera over the

university's whelk tanks. And our patience paid off.

Over the course of a couple of hours, several female whelks came

together to spawn, creating the sea wash ball. Three Mondays on, the egg

capsules we filmed being laid are almost ready to hatch.

Chris and his team have rigged a camera so I can take a closer look,

I can count the baby snails through the wall of the egg capsule.

Capsule. One, two ethree, maybe eight in there. How many eggs would

have been laid inside that capsule? Something like 1,000 perhaps,

depending on the size of the female and the capsule. If the female has

laid round 1,000 eggs and we have only counted eight, what has

happened the other one, where have they gone? When the female lays the

egg, those eggs or cells provide the nutrition for the developing

juvenile whelkings so you end up with just a few developing and

feeding on the nurse cells. It is a grizzly truth but the majority of

whelk embryos will never hatch. Instead they provide food for the

lucky few developing siblings. After months of patience, the team

capture the moment when a whul began merging from the capsule. A chance

for us to see for the very first time, what happens when a whelk

comes into the world. This is what merges from that

capsule and it is tiny. It is barely a millimetre long, but it's a

miniature version, if you look a an adult whelk's she'll you will see

this tiny shell at the tip because as it grows the shell is laid down,

Ben when he when you are on this size you are going to be the menu

for predator, if it is lucky will will grow to many thousands of times

its size and become a formidable predator like this one here.

Fascinating. Well, that is it for tonight. Thanks to mar ruin preen

and our lean, they series starts at 9.is a on Monday morning. With will

leave you with images from the vigil at Trafalgar Square. With the

families of those who died. There has been a vigil in Manchester as

well. Good night. MUSIC: The Elements
