23/08/2017 The One Show

Hello and welcome to The One Show

We have a tasty show for you this evening.

For starters, how about an exclusive interview

with one of the biggest movie stars ever?

And our guests tonight are the main course,

but will one of them be crowned Celebrity MasterChef 2017?

Sopranos Lesley Garrett and there are any clues.

Gogglebox's Reverend Kate Bottley are served!

Welcome, welcome. Good evening. Your families must be loving the fact

that we have Masterchef contestants in the home. What are you cooking

for dinners and can I round? The bar has been raised. Aren't I am not

talking Guinness. What do you cook last night? Seriously, they have got

a lot more interested in cooking since I have done Celebrity

MasterChef. Last night, we had a red curry. And poor scratchings. We did

in our house slow roasted ribs. It takes all day. Home-made barbecue

sauce. It was a bit messy. Finesse is probably not the word to describe

my cooking. But you speak very cheffy. It is a matter one thing.

You try to arrange things on a plate more nicely than the normal way. And

that was a revelation to me. To see how everybody did that. I have no

idea what a veloute was previously. Before that we are going to do

school uniforms. We have got some photos here.

This is my brother. He looks so excited about going back to school.

I think you would have got on very well at school. How about these two?

Look at that perm. My mum used to stick a ball on my head and pub

round it, what is your excuse? It is so long ago.

As the summer holidays end, supermarkets have jumped on the

uniform bandwagon with a full price war, offering ludicrously cheap

shirts, jumpers, trousers and skirts.

But can they withstand the playground pummelling children put

It is that time of year, new school uniforms. They once cost an arm and

a leg but now it is jumpers at dawn for the retailers. Prices have been

slashed with Aldi and LiDL offering them for add little as ?3 75. Do we

really want cheap uniforms? Or is it a false economy? They do not rip as

easily. They look like a rag bag. My mum used amend them and everything

like that. You do not see that any more. To help find out if some of

the cheapest school uniforms on a high street are value for money, we

have recruited celebrity fashion designer Esme Young, and two

families from West Yorkshire, the Ramsey family and the O'Connor

family, who will give their ambitions based on fit, feel and

style, to see which uniform they will buy for the start of the school

term. He likes to pass hand downs onto his younger brother so that we

have a uniform that lasts longer, so it is much better and it will cost a

lot less. The main problem with uniforms is to try to keep it clean.

There have been various jumpers that I have had to throw away because of

blue, and if it had been a supermarket brand and cheaper it

would not have been so irritating to throw it away. The uniform can

comprise a polo shirts, trousers, sweaters and skirts. From LiDL,

Aldi, Sainsbury's, Asda, Tesco and Marks Spencer 's. With over 40

years experience in the fashion industry, Esme knows what she's

looking for in a good pair of trousers. For the LiDL trousers

these were ?1 25. That is shocking. It has got to be cut out. Made by

somebody. You have got haberdashery, packaging, labelling. Esme says that

has got to affect the quality of the final product. I believe that when

you watched this sometimes you will have to go and buy another lot. Do

you get more of you spent more? The thing that impresses me about these

Asda trousers is that they have this permanent crease in them so it would

be easier to iron. Tesco trousers have a keyhole buttonhole, which is

a very good kind of Bucknor. Next up Esme turns attention to the skirts,

and it is the Sainsbury's one that catches the eye. It looks cheap,

Sainsbury's, but it is simply made. And it looks like it will stretch

and because of this top stitching, it stops it stretching. The Marks

Spencer wonders the most expensive but look how much more fabric it has

in it. It is much better made. Inside, it is adjustable. This is

Aldi, and this is also adjustable but there was a slight problem,

because this button is so big, I cannot actually on do it. Esme has

found you do get what you pay for. None of the uniforms we were

examining were made in the UK, so she struggles to find out how that

adds up to the rock bottom pricing. They are all made in Bangladesh or

Sri Lanka, it has come halfway round the world. So, how can a polo shirt

the ?1 25, when a birthday card is probably ?2? We asked Aldi and LiDL

about their ?1 25 polo shirt and trousers and they said they use

unique business model that generate savings in order to keep prices low.

We have had the expert's opinion, but what do the families think? Did

this feel nice? I wanted it to be fluffier. I really liked the Marks

Spencer jumper. The cheaper trousers were baggy. It wasn't the right

sizing. So, which one would they buy? I think my favourite,

considering the price and all the extra little features that were on

it was the Tesco one. You can tell the quality from the Marks Spencer

one and if we are paying less, we do not get quite the same quality. It

seems both families agree with Esme. It is worth spending a little more

to get good value for money. Some of the supermarkets featured had more

to say about the results, Trish. All six supermarkets say that they have

got good value for money, long lead times to keep the costs low. Aldi

and LiDL said they have independent, rigorous testing on wear and tear,

and they compare favourably to other major retailers. Unsurprisingly it

is a hot topic among parents on social media. What have they been

saying? The message is that it is good having cheap, generic uniforms

but schools tell them not abiding despite government advice. It is

only advice, not set in law, that schools should avoid exclusive deals

with one supplier. That is the government advice. But Cathy says

that her daughter uses an online supplier for almost everything. She

spent over ?300 in her first year in school. Judy said her daughter's

uniform cost ?200, the PE kit was ?120. Also tied to one supplier. The

government advisers to keep the costs low for uniforms but viewers

have been saying otherwise. Kirsty and Jemima say that they are having

to pay more for extra branded items that include the school logo. This

is an interesting point. In 2012 the Office of Fair Trading found that

more than 20% of schools made a financial benefit from school

uniform deals averaging around ?690. There are consequences for children

not turning up in them. Yes, I know for sure. My children have spent a

lot of time in basically isolation because of this because if you do

not comply to the school uniform, the kids get in trouble. Thank you

so much. You can join the conversation about this on our

Facebook page. On this year's Celebrity MasterChef

you will see Lesley and Kate going through their country's toughest

home economic class. Kate's heat starts in two

weeks and here is a She's in a quiver over her

quenelles. Right, quenelle, this bad boy. I

cannot believe my whole life is hanging on a quenelle. It is still

baking. I cannot get this a quenelle. Well done. You were a bit

frazzled, there. I watched the show on Gogglebox, and I think, it is

lovely food, why do they make such a fuss? The pressure is off the scale.

The guy with mean the professional kitchen was lovely, he was very

sweet, but when he is standing of a shoulder when you're trying to

quenelle... I do not quenelle! I thought you did very well not to

lick the spoon! You get into such trouble for looking spoons. As far

as preparation is concerned, realistically, what did you do to

prepare? Did you look at endless recipe books and practice? We did

practice, yes. Marnham, not live again, the kids said. I asked the

kids what they would like me to cook for them, so the mushroom dish that

I cook went in, that my kids wanted me to do. So, yes, you don't want to

make a fool of yourself. The one thing you do not want to do is be

first out. And you don't want to look like you are an idiot. As long

as you manage to make something that vaguely resembles food... You do

practice! Not all of mine does! In comparison to Kate,

you were having a whale of a time, If this

is anything to go by... I saw you are to your food, the

happier it comes back. -- the nicer you are to your food. What you do

not understand is, if I am nervous, I sing. Did it help? It makes

everyone else a little bit twitchy! I had this fantastic piece of beef

that I had to get right, or they chucked it in the bin. And waste to

me is an anathema, so I was anxious that I would get it absolutely

right. And the chef is standing over you, breathing down your neck. It is

real people. I thought that it was just for the TV. I thought that they

then got straight into the bin, but it actually goes on the table.

People have paid money to eat that! Then the crew coming afterwards. I

cook for a family, making big quantities, not tiny little

portions, so I took a large quantity of staff, went out and came back

after the judging and thought I would have a taste, but it is like

tumbleweed across the counter. The crew are just stood there are

going... And they are very knowledgeable. The crew go for the

food they think is the best. I think you can judge who's going to win the

round by whose food they go for. Has it giving you both more confidence?

Absolutely. My knife skills now, before I went into Masterchef, I

just wanted to come home with ten fingers, that was all I wanted. Have

a good time, keep all of your digits. But it was great.

Long-suffering. Kate, we are going to talk about Songs Of Praise, the

new series. How are things going? I'm having a great time. That is the

great thing about coming from where I have come from, sitting watching

telly, I am having an absolute blast. I've got my own Radio 2 show

now on at six o'clock in the morning. Six o'clock in the morning.

I thought there was only 16 o'clock in the day. And I am having just the

best time. You could do a hymn and then a dish and then we could do

cooking some meat. The ideas are forming, as we speak. Celebrity

MasterChef continues tonight on BBC One at 9pm.

Lesley, Kate, we're about to show you something we bet

Have you ever laid eyes on a baby pigeon?

Over the years, The One Show has featured some incredible birds, from

black tailed godwits and majestic white tailed sea eagles. With such a

rich diversity of winged wildlife come at you could be forgiven for

overlooking the familiar, but there is one type of bird which most of us

will see every day of the year but we barely give it a second glance. I

bet you have never seen them looking like this before. What might this

bird beak? Goodness, it looks like a dodo. Never seen it before. A bird

of prey may become an eagle or something. Maybe a crocodile, I am

not sure. It is not a baby pigeon? It is a baby pigeon. No wait very

peculiar, you never see them. A face only a mother could love. Absolutely

not! There are over 1 million feral pigeons in the UK and cities like

Glasgow of all of them. If that is the case, where are the baby pigeons

and why do we never see them? To help me answer this question, I am

meeting Paul Stancliffe from the British Trust for Ornithology. These

feral pigeons, these are all descended from rock doves. Rocks and

caves, that is what it is looking for. City centres are not that

different. This is perfect, this is a sequence, it has the little ledges

and the knocks and crannies. The adults, we can find, what about the

babies? It's not easy, but I know just the spot.

I'm glad you said that! Like their wild ancestors, pigeons nesting hard

to reach locations like abandoned locations such as this bridge.

That is a nest on them later. Definitely a bird nest. Using a

camera mounted to a poll, you can get a bird's eye view. Just here is

the nest, two eggs in the middle. They sit on the eggs for 90 days and

the young will hatch and they can be in the nest for another 40 days.

They are in the nest for a long time. Getting on two months so they

all fully formed pigeons when they get out. So that is why we do not

see the youngsters, by the time they leave the egg, they look like

adults. Absolutely. And there is even more

to this bird than meets the eye, they are able to recognise

themselves in a mirror, one of only two types of bird and a handful of

species that has this ability. It is high time we looked at pigeons in a

new light and I am not alone. Andrew Parkinson is a wildlife photographer

who last year won the Bird Photographer of the Year award with

this picture of a mute swans. Andrew, your mission is to paint a

much maligned species in a new and different light, a good challenge.

Let's create a portrait today to show the positive relationship

between pigeons and people. To create this pigeon portrait, Andrew

has an listed the help of Craig a local pigeon fancier. And for the

first time, I can finally get up close to that most elusive urban

creature, a baby pigeon. This little chick is just nine days

old but at six weeks, he will look exactly like his mother and father

so if you have ever wondered what a baby pigeon looks like, well, it

looks just like this! And it is time for this baby to have

a close-up. A bit of a smile, Mike, there we go!

She's going to sleep. So relaxed. A newborn photo shoot

like no other. And after half an hour, we have some great pictures to

choose from. That is such a lovely picture. Yes,

but for me, that is the one. Agreed. Well snapped, you are a

talented man. Thank you. So there we have it, a

pigeon portrait to be proud of. If Mike was not in that shot, that

could well have won next year's Bird Photographer of the Year

competition. Which remarkably opens for entries today.

What a coincidence! I'm glad he is not here tonight. I am sure he would

agree. The winner of 2017 was this incredible image of flamingos who is

in Mexico tonight. He is on the Mexican One Show. We

are joined by two British winners and the competition is split into

categories. You with the winner of Birds in Flight, Brett. And you were

just observing some of these beautiful pelicans, so we will pick

up our binoculars. Like the jumbo jet of the bird world. And they came

in the land and you got the shot. That is incredible. What is the

story, Brett? You are set in position? I was taking another group

of pelicans and I heard this bird flying in and it came in nicely. I

changed my settings as quickly as possible and I took a photograph to

take the focus and another photograph to get the shot. It is

beautiful, and you were allowed to crop that? Yes, it is cropped from

the original formatting but I have not done very much to it, I have

loved it as natural as possible. You must think, yes, I have nailed it!

Yes, satisfying moment. You are in the birds nearby and category, so we

had better pick up our binoculars again. And you are in the Andes.

These are strong. Minding your own business and suddenly you took a

photograph of this! Again, absolutely amazing shot. Just how do

you manage to capture an image like that? I was there for about four

days in total and I was really trying to capture the element of the

weather. So I wanted a stormy sky and the condor in the right position

and everything came together at the right time. Rob, you are a judge in

the competition, and it is open for entries from today, what are you

looking for? Taking into consideration what we have seen.

Judges see thousands of images on our screens as we open from the

entries. Every now and again, you get an image which just makes stop

and go, I wish I had taken that! These guys just did that to me and

the winning image as well. And there is no age restriction? No,

absolutely. It is open to amateurs. Have we got the mute swan? I love

this. This was taken underwater with not a very expensive kit but it was

an opportunist moment and that is the point. It is taken with a

compact, extreme sports camera which you can get for about the same price

as an average smartphone so within the reach of a lot of people. It is

just a word bit different. The chap who has taken is, it is an

accessible species. We can all photograph it. But he has done

something different, he has thought about it, and that has made this

image stand out. That is what it is all about.

Entries are being taken for 2018 right now.

And if you'd like to see the best of 2017, a book collecting

Thank you for bringing your working, I thoroughly enjoyed that.

How many minutes... Let's have another look.

It's the lesser-spotted Tom Cruise...

In all seriousness, this is Tom Krumins baking bones in his ankle --

Tom Cruise breaking bones. Ever the professional. I feel a bit sorry for

him. But fortunately for us,

we already had our exclusive And the most dangerous thing

we asked him to do was sit It is just as well really. World

politics seems to be swamped by scandal these days but it is nothing

new, back in the 1980s, there was a story that shook the US presidency

right to its core. Since the outset of the controversy over our policy

relating to Iran... The Iran-Contra deal involved unscrupulous deals

like the illegal trading of arms to Iran and using those proceeds to

back the contras in Nicaragua. Related to that, I am used to -- an

am eating a man more accustomed to playing the hero, but he is playing

a more unsavoury character in his new role. I was working for the CEO

-- the CIA, the DA and Pablo Escobar. In America made, Tom Cruise

plays Barry Seal, an ordinary pilot who becomes a drugs smuggling arms

dealer working for the CIA. Thank you so much for talking to The

One Show. It is our pleasure. I want to know why you took on a character

like Barry Seal. One of my favourite characters was Mark Twain growing up

and he would have written this story, it is ripe for satire and

humour and the most unique adventure. Based on a true story. He

is an antihero. You never saw me! By all accounts,

everybody loved him, even though he worked for the CIA, the DDA, the

White House and one of the biggest drug cartels in the world. He was

not political, he was a great pilot and he would fly anything from

drugs, the guns. He was like the early version of FedEx. He was the

gringo who always delivered. He was making so much money, he did not

know what to do with it. Roscoe dug this up in the backyard,

that bill is blowing around everywhere. I will get it up in the

morning. At one time he was one of the wealthiest men in America. He

was just really interesting and a very unique love story with his

wife. He adored her and she adored him. Is this legal? She was so

strong, you have a female character that matches him and every time he

says, do you trust me? She says, no, no! Is a positive have a character

that strong you can play against? Yes, and she that strong. You do

your own stunts, I would love to know the insurance! The BBC will not

insure me to light a match! I know! Me flying an aeroplane, when I put

it on autopilot and I will walk from the front to the back, you are

literally doing it. When I break through the trees, that is me

flying. Flying is something that has always been a passion. I used to

have a photo of a Spitfire and a photo of AP 51 and I put them by my

bed so I could stare at them because I just wanted to fly. When you are

writing the script and thinking about the idea, did it take you back

to when you are starting out in the late 1970s when things were taking

off? Yes, that was an amazing time and it happened so fast. How do you

keep the energy going, 37 years later? How would you have the same

passion? I am just interested in life. You interview so many

different people and when you see something different, you cannot help

but become more interested in it. I had the privilege to put it out

there and share it with everyone. I am going to walk out of here.

There is not a dam think you can do about it! A number of one-liners

that also memorable and jewel life imitates the art. Show me the money!

Show me the money! You have done all right for yourself. I feel the need

to... The need for speed. Yes. One of my favourites. The colour of

money, you get out of the car and Paul Newman says... Look at that

kid, he gets to have all the fun! I think you get the fun, Tom Cruise.

That is a beautiful memory you gave me. Working with Paul Newman. I have

seen all his films and I am looking at the sky. There were moments, I am

watching him act, I had studied his movies. First, he was a gentleman, a

real class guy and to have that opportunity as a young actor to work

with him was wonderful. I have been able to have all the fun, yes! You

are also the gringo who also delivers! Yes, I like that line! I

wish that was on the poster! Top Gun all the way for me. Jerry Maguire

for me. And you can see 'American Made'

in cinemas from Friday. Celebrity MasterChef continues

tonight at 9pm on BBC One. Good luck to Leslie singing at the

Theatre Royal. Good luck to all the families
