:00:24. > :00:29.Hello and welcome to The One Show. Joy and in us tonight is a woman
:00:29. > :00:34.who was cashing up a bar aged 11. She was doing the rounds in an ice-
:00:34. > :00:40.cream van aged 15. Then she worked in a vet's before signing up for
:00:40. > :00:47.the RAF. Now she has brought straight-talking and power dressing
:00:47. > :00:51.to the Dragons Den. Please welcome Hilary Devey!
:00:51. > :01:00.You are looking incredible, it has to be said, absolutely gorgeous.
:01:01. > :01:04.Now obviously, we understand you want to go into politics as well.
:01:04. > :01:09.always have. It has always been on my agenda of things I want to
:01:09. > :01:19.achieve. A if Mr Cameron came knocking now, how would you fix the
:01:19. > :01:19.
:01:19. > :01:27.economy? First of all I would incentivises small and medium
:01:27. > :01:34.enterprises. I would also incentivises entrepreneurs. We know
:01:34. > :01:38.he watches. On a lighter note, we are also going to celebrate your
:01:38. > :01:41.other passion which is fashion. We want to know if you have got a
:01:41. > :01:45.power dresser like Hilary in your household. We would like to see
:01:45. > :01:52.your photos and we will show some of the most powerful shoulder pads
:01:52. > :01:57.and all but later on. Send it to the usual address. For those with a
:01:57. > :02:06.broad band, I am sure the sound will be a blast from the past:
:02:06. > :02:11.INTERNET DIAL UP TONE for a group of residents in rural Lancashire it
:02:11. > :02:15.is something they seem to be stuck with. They decided to do something
:02:15. > :02:22.about it. A strange hole has been appearing
:02:22. > :02:27.across the Lancashire countryside. Well, the Earth has been dug up but
:02:27. > :02:34.it does not look like your average workman's sight. There are no
:02:34. > :02:39.orange cones or warning signs. Is it molls or badgers? No. This
:02:39. > :02:42.rather small hole near Lancaster in north-west England is for broadband
:02:42. > :02:46.cables. Rural communities are often left behind when it comes to the
:02:46. > :02:51.internet and this hole is the first step at getting this one up to
:02:51. > :02:55.speed. But remarkably, it is not being installed by any of the major
:02:55. > :03:00.internet companies. The villagers, fed up with waiting, have decided
:03:00. > :03:04.to get themselves connected. By installing the cable themselves,
:03:05. > :03:10.the residents are not reliant on a major infrastructure supplier such
:03:10. > :03:14.as BT or Fujitsu. Andrew is a farm here. He has invested his shares to
:03:14. > :03:21.help fund the venture, as well as promising time to help dig the
:03:22. > :03:28.trench. All our information comes through computer, as staff from the
:03:28. > :03:33.vet's. It can take so long, you can go and have a cup of tea and it is
:03:33. > :03:38.still not done. It is painful. For us, for a business point of view,
:03:38. > :03:42.we need to do this. What has your contribution been? We have invested
:03:42. > :03:49.1,500 pounds money wise and then because they are coming across our
:03:49. > :03:53.land, we have put the time in and we did it ourselves so we'd do the
:03:53. > :03:58.work. BT has promised a role that high-speed broadband did two-thirds
:03:58. > :04:01.of the UK by 2014 and is one of the company's working with councils and
:04:01. > :04:06.public bodies to try and reach as much of the rest as possible but
:04:06. > :04:10.there are still some areas which will not be covered. Brendan Dick
:04:10. > :04:15.from BT says they will not be laying cables here because it is
:04:15. > :04:18.too expensive. If you look at the geography, you can see it is a big
:04:18. > :04:21.challenge due to the sparse population. There is a farm there,
:04:21. > :04:27.farm that one beyond that so basically, there are too many
:04:27. > :04:30.farms? It is not that, there are not enough people. The farms are a
:04:30. > :04:35.factor because one has to dig up large tracts of land to get to the
:04:35. > :04:40.premises. How much are we talking about was that it could be tens of
:04:40. > :04:45.thousands of pounds per premise. You are such a huge company, how
:04:45. > :04:50.come the company cannot eat up the costs? Economics just kick in. We
:04:50. > :04:55.are not a charity. I have to admire what they are trying to do. The key
:04:55. > :05:01.challenges not just building it, the challenge is how defined year -
:05:01. > :05:04.- money year-on-year to sustain it? The local project hopes to connect
:05:04. > :05:10.1,500 properties to this neck-and- neck. The first phase should be
:05:10. > :05:16.finished by the end of the year. By selling 2 million shares at a pound
:05:16. > :05:19.each to local farmers, the project helps to raise the money needed for
:05:19. > :05:24.the state-of-the-art fibre-optic lines which connect to the World
:05:24. > :05:29.Wide Web. Chris, if BT, a multi- million-pound company cannot afford
:05:29. > :05:34.to do this, how one earth are you doing it? We can do it with the
:05:34. > :05:38.power of the farmers. The farmers are helping us to get to the land
:05:38. > :05:43.and did it in. They are really desperate for a connection and they
:05:43. > :05:47.know this is the only way they will get it. How much is it costing you?
:05:47. > :05:51.The whole of phase one is costing 1.6 8 million. How are you raising
:05:51. > :05:58.the money? We are doing it by raising shares from the community
:05:58. > :06:04.themselves. We have raised �300,000. If the initial dig is a success,
:06:04. > :06:08.the head to roll it out to up to 15,000 properties. There is another
:06:08. > :06:14.boon to the community pulling together. It looks low-tech but it
:06:14. > :06:21.is high speed. How fast Dobby talking? The fastest in the world.
:06:21. > :06:24.It is 500 times the government target. It is fast enough for high-
:06:24. > :06:29.definition television and 3D television. Anything you can
:06:29. > :06:34.envisage wanting to do for business or a residential setting, that can
:06:34. > :06:38.deliver it. Despite being out in the sticks, the folk will be
:06:38. > :06:42.cruising the Internet superhighway. It just goes to show you, when a
:06:42. > :06:46.community comes together, you get power to the people.
:06:46. > :06:51.It is amazing when you get farmers and tractors on your side. Hilary,
:06:51. > :06:56.that must bring a smile to your face? Fabulous. How much did they
:06:56. > :07:04.put in together? Is little bombs, I'm not sure. The AA said it was
:07:04. > :07:10.through shares. -- bombs. I am going to take the concept to
:07:10. > :07:14.Marrakesh. What put it in yourself? I thinks there. You have lots of
:07:15. > :07:18.hugs all over the world. You're famous for not having a holiday.
:07:18. > :07:23.never have a holiday. If you were here to talk about your new book,
:07:23. > :07:32.Bold As Brass. It is incredibly honest. You said you hated writing
:07:32. > :07:37.it. Yes, it was not a therapeutic. Why did you do it? Because I was
:07:37. > :07:43.asked! I love that, a bit of honesty. What was traumatic about
:07:43. > :07:47.it? I always thought I had had a very normal childhood and when I
:07:47. > :07:52.actually started to read it I thought, crikey, I am not normal,
:07:52. > :07:57.it was not a normal childhood. When I started to read about what I went
:07:57. > :08:04.through with my son that made me cry and the relationships that I
:08:04. > :08:11.have had and why did I go wrong in them etc. Has it been a bit of
:08:12. > :08:17.therapy in that way, what have you learnt? I had just learned that no
:08:17. > :08:20.matter what life throws at you, you have got to keep fighting, tomorrow
:08:20. > :08:26.is Another day. One door closes, another one opens and you have to
:08:26. > :08:31.keep on fighting. Would you write another one? Let's say the first
:08:31. > :08:38.one is an unfinished work of art. Which was the hardest stage looking
:08:38. > :08:42.back? I think possibly the hardest thing to write about was my time
:08:43. > :08:48.with my son's father. Because growing up, you have got to
:08:48. > :08:51.understand, I did not know any differently. I was quite happy as a
:08:52. > :08:57.child. I did not deceive myself hard done by because there was
:08:57. > :09:01.always lots of laughter and love and cuddles. I was not hard done by
:09:01. > :09:06.at all. I was pleased I had to work because I was helping my parents.
:09:06. > :09:12.You do talk a lot about your parents in the book. Your dad's
:09:12. > :09:17.opinion helped to form you as a person? Yes, for every pore of --
:09:17. > :09:24.problem he had a solution. His philosophy in life is now my ethos.
:09:24. > :09:29.Which is? One door closes, another door opens. Tomorrow is always
:09:29. > :09:35.another day. And indeed, the door of the Women's RAF opened up for
:09:35. > :09:40.you. Why did you decide to join the forces? Because I wanted to travel.
:09:40. > :09:45.I thought it was a good way to see the world. It was a good way to
:09:45. > :09:49.finish off my education because of working, I never actually got round
:09:49. > :09:54.to finishing my education so joining the forces gave me the
:09:54. > :09:59.opportunity to finish my education. But unfortunately, half way through
:09:59. > :10:04.I actually did my time, I did my three years in the forces and then
:10:04. > :10:08.you had to sign on for seven, my father developed stomach cancer.
:10:09. > :10:18.The distance and the phone calls was too heartbreaking for me. Then
:10:18. > :10:23.they put a moratorium in the Armed Forces on female members travelling.
:10:23. > :10:27.It is quite difficult to get out of the forces? It was incredibly
:10:28. > :10:31.difficult to be released because I was incredibly good. I was
:10:31. > :10:35.absolutely excellent. It took me weeks and weeks of interviews for
:10:35. > :10:39.them to release me. Finally they did and it was purely because I
:10:39. > :10:44.could not function thinking of my father dying and I was not there to
:10:44. > :10:53.support him. You have succeeded at most things but we were quite
:10:53. > :11:00.shocked to learn how many times you have been sacked. I was only 16 and
:11:00. > :11:04.15 and 12, come on! I feel for you. I have, too. You have to tell them
:11:04. > :11:10.about the Pepper factory. Chopping peppers, I was not that good and
:11:10. > :11:19.handing out leaflets I binned them. I was only 12, give me a break, I
:11:19. > :11:25.was not even of employable age. It was on Bolton market stall. I loved
:11:25. > :11:29.him, he was called Alf. He loved me, I was his little girl but in the
:11:29. > :11:36.end, I think it was either me or him going bankrupt because every
:11:36. > :11:40.time I picked up a tray of China I dropped it. The book is loaded with
:11:40. > :11:45.the brilliance stories. Bold As Brass is out in bookshops tomorrow.
:11:45. > :11:50.Now, if you live on the coast near Grimsby and lookout to see, you
:11:50. > :11:54.might be able to catch a glimpse of this. That big hunk of metal is
:11:54. > :12:00.travelling all the way up the east coast of Britain. Down snow has
:12:00. > :12:03.been to Portsmouth to find out what it is. And where it is going.
:12:03. > :12:08.Aircraft-carrier as are the pride of any modern fighting fleet and
:12:08. > :12:15.our royal Navy is no exception. The names of the recent carriers, Ark
:12:15. > :12:19.Royal, invincible and illustrious of the id into British military law.
:12:19. > :12:26.Here in the last Portsmouth Naval Base, something altogether more
:12:26. > :12:30.magnificent is being constructed. 65,000 tonnes, 280 metres long, 56
:12:31. > :12:39.metres from Kiel to mast tip, in scale and then, HMS Queen Elizabeth
:12:39. > :12:46.represents a new breed of career. It will act as home and a runway
:12:46. > :12:52.for up to 36 state-of-the-art joint strike fighter jets. It will be
:12:52. > :12:56.able to operate all round the world. This section here is only one 10th
:12:56. > :13:01.of it. Individual sections of the Queen Elizabeth are being built at
:13:01. > :13:06.five separate UK shipyards. They will all be towed to a 6th in
:13:06. > :13:12.Rosyth in Scotland to be assembled, just like this mighty piece from
:13:12. > :13:17.Portsmouth Docks. It will be arriving in Rosyth. To do that, we
:13:17. > :13:23.will go from Portsmouth, take a left, then take another left up to
:13:23. > :13:29.Rosyth. So as long as she keeps turning left to she will get to
:13:29. > :13:34.Rosyth? Why are they all being built separately? There is no one-
:13:34. > :13:37.yard around the country capable of managing something of this scale so
:13:37. > :13:43.it was split-up around various yards around the country.
:13:43. > :13:47.Shipbuilding has been such a big part of Portsmouth life for so long
:13:47. > :13:53.that sometimes several generations of the same family have all worked
:13:53. > :13:57.here building the ships which let Britain prosper. Paul Jerram is one
:13:57. > :14:02.of 3,000 Portsmouth locals who has dedicated the last 28 months to
:14:02. > :14:08.building this section. How long have you worked here? I have worked
:14:08. > :14:12.in the dockyard since 1976. your dad? My dad started during the
:14:12. > :14:17.war. My grandfather used to work before my dad started out and now I
:14:17. > :14:20.have got a son who works for this company. It is a mixture of skills,
:14:20. > :14:24.there will be some things your grandad would recognise and Ben
:14:24. > :14:31.space-age stills -- skills today? When I started we did not use a
:14:31. > :14:34.laser and now we have a computer system we use. Despite the new
:14:34. > :14:39.technology, traditional skills are still important? Yes, you still
:14:39. > :14:43.have to measure from the bulkheads. We still use dividers and callipers
:14:43. > :14:53.and you have to learn all those original skills which go back to
:14:53. > :15:00.
:15:00. > :15:03.Year at are the new generation - the young blood. -- you are the new
:15:03. > :15:09.generation. I can tell my grandchildren that I worked on that
:15:09. > :15:14.ship and stuff like that. It is really good. It will be completed
:15:15. > :15:24.in 2016. It will be returned back to Portsmouth and the keys handed
:15:24. > :15:33.to the great full Royal Navy. That is a transporters dream. -- great
:15:33. > :15:40.fall. I could handle it! We did not doubt that for a second. When is it
:15:40. > :15:45.supposed to get to Rosyth? I hope it is on-course. The good people of
:15:45. > :15:52.Grimsby can let me know. The exciting bit happens then. They
:15:52. > :15:57.would take out a piece they have already got an slot in our pit from
:15:57. > :16:05.Portsmouth. It is the biggest ship ever made for the boil Navy. It
:16:05. > :16:13.will fit together perfectly. -- Royal Navy. Are you sure it will
:16:13. > :16:18.work? Do not worry about that. They have technology you would not
:16:18. > :16:25.believe. A laser creates down to an atomic level. It will go together
:16:25. > :16:32.nice and blush. When will it be completed? They are hoping they can
:16:32. > :16:37.give it to the Navy in about 2017 to stop working on it. Has there
:16:37. > :16:44.been a U-turn on the plains? There was originally a plan to use the
:16:44. > :16:51.old method of a short take-off and then landing vertically. Then they
:16:51. > :16:58.want it to be, you land like an airstrip and stop the planes with
:16:58. > :17:03.these wires. They have moved back to beat Vertical landing. That is
:17:03. > :17:12.�1 billion cheaper than the other way. It looks so much more gentle.
:17:12. > :17:18.You do not need to train the crew up. The planes are slightly less
:17:18. > :17:24.good. That is the important thing. We will be OK. I thoroughly enjoyed
:17:24. > :17:31.your commentary on the fly-past at Buckingham Palace. It is 65 days to
:17:31. > :17:35.go to the Olympics. Well done to everyone who got tickets today.
:17:35. > :17:42.They Misrata a new threat that has arisen and it only strikes at night.
:17:42. > :17:47.The authorities are taking it very seriously. -- there is a new threat.
:17:47. > :17:53.In the past six weeks, this sniffer dog has been part of the team which
:17:53. > :17:58.has checked 10,000 hotel rooms. Today he is conducting another
:17:58. > :18:07.inspection on a London hotel - the identity of which we have agreed to
:18:07. > :18:13.keep secret. He is on the hunt for bedbugs. He starts off touching
:18:13. > :18:18.furniture in the beds and the room structure. You have to work him
:18:18. > :18:25.around the room and he will find pockets of sent to indicate where
:18:25. > :18:32.they are the strongest. He can detect their perks from outside the
:18:32. > :18:39.room in extreme cases. -- bedbugs. Hotels are checking their rooms
:18:39. > :18:44.with for the officials and athletes arrive. Bedbugs live of human blood.
:18:44. > :18:50.They rarely stay in our beds. They favour cracks and crevices where
:18:50. > :18:56.they can hide. They are the same size as an ant and they hitch a
:18:56. > :19:00.lift on clothes and belongings. Only takes a few months for a small
:19:00. > :19:05.number of bugs to multiply into thousands. The Sydney Olympics had
:19:05. > :19:08.a big problem with bedbugs in 2000 but it was thought they were
:19:08. > :19:14.already there in large numbers before the visitors arrived. There
:19:14. > :19:18.was also a big outbreak in New York in 2010. They even found their way
:19:19. > :19:22.into the Empire State Building. In hotels around London, but battle is
:19:22. > :19:29.on, to make sure that visitors to the Olympics do not share their
:19:29. > :19:35.beds with unwanted visitors. These sisters know what such -- a problem
:19:35. > :19:41.it can be. We wake up in the morning. Joy was asleep but she was
:19:41. > :19:47.scratching. I had a lot of spots down my left arm. We went out
:19:47. > :19:56.shopping and started to get itchy spots. When we went to the theatre
:19:56. > :20:04.in the evening, it was extremely itchy. I had 86 bytes. 30 art were
:20:04. > :20:14.down my left arm. That was really sore and very irritating. -- about
:20:14. > :20:20.30 went down my left arm. I had 54. These photos show how bad the bikes
:20:20. > :20:25.were. For most, they are bitchy and uncomfortable. Experts are split on
:20:25. > :20:31.whether the huge influx of visitors for the Olympics will further
:20:31. > :20:40.spread our existing bedbugs. David came bins it will. We already have
:20:40. > :20:46.a significant problem. It is not just London. -- David thinks it
:20:46. > :20:50.will. Incidents have been a big increase. What is your fear?
:20:50. > :20:56.have a problem already. We can add more to the problem with tourists
:20:56. > :21:02.and people visiting the city and we will end up with a huge legacy of
:21:02. > :21:08.bedbugs. Which hotels have bedbugs? We have been in and investigated
:21:08. > :21:12.problems in hostels, bed-and- breakfasts and luxury five-star
:21:12. > :21:17.hotels. Bedbugs do not care where they end up as long as there is a
:21:17. > :21:21.regular source of people for them to feed from. At their hotel his
:21:21. > :21:27.inspection is complete. Where they are found in small numbers they can
:21:27. > :21:32.be dealt with professionally in a few hours using pesticides or heat
:21:32. > :21:36.treatments. Most hotels are engaged in regular monitoring and screening
:21:36. > :21:42.activities. Most have had all the housekeeping and maintenance staff
:21:42. > :21:46.properly trained. We still need to be on our card. If you are staying
:21:46. > :21:53.in a hotel in the UK or abroad, there are some steps you can take
:21:53. > :21:58.to make sure the bedbugs do not bite. They can be easy to spot.
:21:58. > :22:05.Look out for a distinctive black marks on furniture, their white
:22:05. > :22:15.eggs and discarded skins! If in doubt, asked to stay in another
:22:15. > :22:16.
:22:17. > :22:23.room. Come and look! Oh, God! It is making receipt achieve. -- me feel
:22:23. > :22:33.itchy. Your family ran a hotel. You did not had -- have an infestation,
:22:33. > :22:33.
:22:33. > :22:38.did you? No. No one ever complained. Was it every topic of conversation?
:22:38. > :22:43.No. Since during stands on his umpiring Korea, Dickie Bird has had
:22:43. > :22:53.more time to keep an eye on the turf in his own back garden. We
:22:53. > :22:53.
:22:53. > :22:58.joined him at his home in Barnsley. The owner of this garden has
:22:58. > :23:05.inspected grass around the world, from Manchester to Mumbai. Millions
:23:05. > :23:10.of people have been agog to hear his verdict. I am talking about a
:23:10. > :23:15.cricketing legend, the former international umpire, Dickie Bird.
:23:15. > :23:21.With a gesture worthy of the great Shakespearean actor, not only
:23:21. > :23:27.signals noble but holds it for half a minute. This is his favourite
:23:27. > :23:33.ground with a view over his home town. I was born and bred in
:23:33. > :23:38.Barnsley. My father worked in the town. He was a coalminer. I have
:23:38. > :23:43.been all over the world in my profession as an umpire. It was
:23:43. > :23:51.always nice to come back to Barnsley. Put the key in the door.
:23:51. > :23:57.I think it is one of the best use around Barnsley. It is a better
:23:57. > :24:07.view than my side! We cross into your country, Lancashire.
:24:07. > :24:13.Absolutely! It means a lot to me - this garden. You have the plum
:24:13. > :24:21.trees, apple trees. The plums are really picked Victorians. I used to
:24:21. > :24:31.have strawberries just to the left. The blackbirds kept beating them.
:24:31. > :24:31.
:24:31. > :24:38.They went for a burton. What is the story of the Cat in the -- the hat
:24:38. > :24:44.in the tree? Someone gave it to me. I thought, maybe a bird would come
:24:44. > :24:52.and nest there. Nobody has. As a boy, he played cricket for Barnsley
:24:52. > :24:57.with Michael Parkinson. Dickie Bird went on to play for Yorkshire.
:24:58. > :25:03.have the rose there. I got that in 1959 win Yorkshire won the

:25:08. > :25:15.When the right -- the white roses come out, they are beautiful.
:25:15. > :25:20.nearly as good as the red ones, of course! The rose has not been his
:25:20. > :25:25.only gift over the years. The house is stuffed full of medals, presence
:25:25. > :25:31.and awards galore. I have kept everything. I have all my medals
:25:31. > :25:35.and trophies. Photographs of the royalty went and met the Queen 29
:25:35. > :25:41.times, at Test matches and other functions, going to Buckingham
:25:41. > :25:49.Palace and things like that. I have got my own little presentation for
:25:49. > :25:55.his garden. I was going to bring you a cricket bat willow. But I did
:25:55. > :26:04.not think it was suitable. I thought she might like this. That
:26:04. > :26:11.is marvellous! It is summer saw bay. It will grow to foot high and has
:26:11. > :26:17.beautiful pale blue flowers. I think that in there, I think it
:26:17. > :26:22.will look quite nice. A bit of sunshine as you walk round.
:26:22. > :26:32.Lancashire sunshine! Have a look over the Pennines to see if the

:26:32. > :26:40.sound is coming out. -- the Sun. You spent your entire life as an
:26:40. > :26:47.umpire. Do you have any regrets? The one regret I have had is I have
:26:47. > :26:52.had no children. I never married because I was never at home. If I
:26:52. > :26:59.had a son or a girl, a couple of lads, who played cricket, it would
:26:59. > :27:08.have given me a lot of pleasure. I would have felt, you know, I would
:27:08. > :27:15.have felt so chuffed but it never happened. That is the one regret in
:27:15. > :27:20.life. It is not bad. I have had a great life. Some wonderful moments
:27:20. > :27:30.I will always treasure. Congratulations go to him for
