Wright, Pudsey, tonight on the show we've got one of the world's most

:00:11.:00:15.

glamorous women, and it's your job to pick her up. Have you got the

:00:16.:00:21.

champagne? Have you polished those handlebars? And on, what about that

:00:22.:00:27.

dodgy wheel? Don't worry, I'm on it. Pudsey, you'd better not mess

:00:28.:00:29.

this up! Welcome to the One Show. I hope

:00:30.:00:43.

Pudsey behaved himself because that rickshaw can get a bit bumpy. It

:00:44.:00:49.

can. This is our very glamorous guest being rickshaw into the

:00:50.:00:58.

studio. It is glamorous, silk and sequence. You've still got a bit of

:00:59.:01:05.

oil on you. Get it off. But why does the rickshaw have shoulder pads? It

:01:06.:01:10.

can only be one lady, please welcome Joan Collins!

:01:11.:01:21.

Welcome, welcome. How nice to see you. Joan, you are used to arriving

:01:22.:01:34.

in style, but how was that? They only told me about it about two

:01:35.:01:39.

minutes before it happened. If I'd known I was doing it I would have

:01:40.:01:45.

worn trousers. You look fabulous. As always. As well as hearing about

:01:46.:01:50.

Jones's new autobiography, we're unveiling the vending machine that

:01:51.:01:54.

makes you lose weight, and finding out how it works. Also, we've got

:01:55.:02:01.

the winner of last night's Great British Bake Off. Frances Quinn is

:02:02.:02:08.

here. Congratulations! Also gracing our sofa will be this legendary pop

:02:09.:02:12.

star, who will be showcasing a collection of his work from over 40

:02:13.:02:17.

years in the music business. He is a big fan of the silhouette, no wonder

:02:18.:02:24.

with that famous hairstyle! First, at 3pm today, His Royal Highness,

:02:25.:02:29.

Prince George of Cambridge, was christened. Beautiful. He's so

:02:30.:02:38.

lovely. He doesn't have any hair! He takes after his father. You've got a

:02:39.:02:44.

whole chapter on the Royals in your book. Are you glad they kept it a

:02:45.:02:48.

private affair, or would you have probed -- third to see a bigger

:02:49.:02:53.

state? This is the first I've seen of it. Private, how many people?

:02:54.:02:58.

Just very close friends and family. I think that is nice, but I think

:02:59.:03:04.

that the people really would like to see our future king. Do you think it

:03:05.:03:09.

should have been televised? Possibly. This is why I've got all

:03:10.:03:18.

these Georges in the studio, the Georges and the Georginas. Nice to

:03:19.:03:24.

see you all. Don't forget George the dog, whose right down there at the

:03:25.:03:34.

bottom. Looking very regal. We are sure that Kate and William are

:03:35.:03:37.

regular churchgoers, but fewer people are these days. According to

:03:38.:03:42.

the church of England, baptisms have been on the up. So is it OK to get

:03:43.:03:46.

your child christened if you don't go to church?

:03:47.:03:53.

I was christened because my parents saw it as a rite of passage. But I'm

:03:54.:03:59.

not really religious, I'm an atheist. They do it because it's the

:04:00.:04:03.

social thing they think is necessary. Their friends have had

:04:04.:04:07.

their children christened so they want there's christened. I think

:04:08.:04:11.

there are definitely parents to christen their children purely for

:04:12.:04:16.

getting them into school and all of that kind of stuff. Is that

:04:17.:04:22.

acceptable? Definitely not. If we don't do these things, whether we

:04:23.:04:26.

understand them or not, we are losing that culture. I've got sons,

:04:27.:04:31.

it's a really lovely feel good thing. If they decide to carry on in

:04:32.:04:36.

vain for the rest of their lives, that's up to them. Do you go to that

:04:37.:04:40.

church all the time? I live in London now but when I go home I do

:04:41.:04:43.

go there for the odd quiet moment. It's a church that I love and I want

:04:44.:04:50.

my kids to have that opportunity if they want to. Some people do get

:04:51.:04:54.

their children christened but other reasons than Christianity alone. I

:04:55.:04:58.

really think it's a dying trend. I'm about to christen my sons soon. I

:04:59.:05:04.

think it is a choice people should have. Why specifically christenings,

:05:05.:05:09.

why are they so important? I think it's to do with your faith, your

:05:10.:05:13.

religion, belief, family values as well. I just think, as my husband

:05:14.:05:17.

said, it's about bringing families together. Would also like to know

:05:18.:05:25.

what you think at home. Is it OK to get your children christened if you

:05:26.:05:28.

don't regularly go to church? We know many of you will be of

:05:29.:05:31.

different faiths or non-at all, but it is interesting.

:05:32.:05:44.

You can sign in and vote online free. You will also find full terms

:05:45.:05:56.

and conditions there. The vote will end at 7:35pm sharp. You might think

:05:57.:06:01.

it's right to give criminals a second chance in life. But would you

:06:02.:06:05.

put the contents of your home on the line to prove it? Here is Iwan.

:06:06.:06:10.

Imagine this. You are moving home and you've booked a removal company

:06:11.:06:14.

to help you shift your worldly possessions. So what might you be

:06:15.:06:20.

looking for in a firm? Reliability, competitive price or even a track

:06:21.:06:24.

record of honesty, perhaps? For the last two gears, Michael and Daniel

:06:25.:06:28.

have been running a thriving removals business in south London,

:06:29.:06:31.

but their past is anything but clean. Between them, these ex-gang

:06:32.:06:34.

members have a string of convictions for burglary, assault and drugs.

:06:35.:06:43.

There's no fun in it. I definitely feel guilt and remorse. The best

:06:44.:06:47.

thing I can do is say sorry to these people and change myself and change

:06:48.:06:51.

the people around me. Today they have two removal jobs to do, and

:06:52.:06:56.

they are taking me with them. I've always said they are two options,

:06:57.:07:07.

the grave for finding a job. A very different life to what it was

:07:08.:07:12.

before. More peaceful. Not having to keep look behind your shoulder,

:07:13.:07:17.

thinking that this person is out to get you, is my door going to get

:07:18.:07:22.

kicked down in a minute, am I going to live to see the next day? I never

:07:23.:07:30.

thought I'd be on the BBC, maybe on the news for some kind of crime! Amy

:07:31.:07:36.

has never used the firm before. Their services were recommended by a

:07:37.:07:40.

friend and she has no idea about their criminal background. Do you

:07:41.:07:45.

know their background at all? No. They were heavily into crime and

:07:46.:07:49.

have turned their lives around and set this up. They've been given a

:07:50.:07:53.

grant to help them. That's even better. So they are now paid to take

:07:54.:08:03.

stuff from people. Taking it with permission! Would you recommend

:08:04.:08:05.

them? Absolutely, they are really friendly and really slick. Michael

:08:06.:08:09.

and Daniel are amongst thousands of young people who have been helped in

:08:10.:08:12.

changing their lives by kids Company, a charity that supports

:08:13.:08:16.

fundable inner-city youth, including those who end up in gangs. Children

:08:17.:08:23.

don't choose to be part of a gang. There is incredible coercion. How

:08:24.:08:25.

about people who've been on the wrong side of the crime? Can you see

:08:26.:08:30.

their point of view, that these guys don't deserve a second chance?

:08:31.:08:35.

Absolutely, we are very sympathetic to victims of crime. But I want to

:08:36.:08:40.

deliver realistic solutions. Leaving kids in prison, locked up for 23

:08:41.:08:45.

hours, is not a solution. One surprising solution came from a

:08:46.:08:49.

London newspaper, the Evening Standard. Camilla persuaded them to

:08:50.:08:53.

give Daniel, Michael and other ex-gang members ?10,000, to expand

:08:54.:08:57.

their existing businesses, helping them in a legal income and stay on

:08:58.:09:03.

the straight and narrow. Lisa booked the boys for a removal job after

:09:04.:09:08.

reading about them in the paper. Does their past worry you? Whenever

:09:09.:09:12.

you have people come for anything, carpet cleaning, you are cautious

:09:13.:09:15.

with things. But not more so than normal. They have children, that

:09:16.:09:20.

probably has a huge influence for them to really want to make it. I'm

:09:21.:09:25.

trying to give them the benefit of the doubt, give them a chance and

:09:26.:09:31.

let them hopefully prove me right. Since starting up this company, I've

:09:32.:09:35.

learnt confidence, how to deal with people. It's not from my background

:09:36.:09:40.

and I can now go in and meet Barclays bank manager, sit down with

:09:41.:09:44.

him and talk about business. Since they've been in business, they'd

:09:45.:09:47.

never had a complaint. They are grateful for having a second chance

:09:48.:09:51.

to turn their lives around. With so much invested in them, all eyes are

:09:52.:09:57.

on Daniel and Michael to stick on the straight and narrow and make

:09:58.:10:00.

their business a success. That customer summed it up brilliantly.

:10:01.:10:03.

You don't know a lot about the background of people anyway. Good to

:10:04.:10:11.

see you. They've been upfront and honest. Iwan, you've been looking

:10:12.:10:14.

into the rehabilitation of criminals a bit more. I truly would employ

:10:15.:10:20.

them. I trust them, they are great guys. People think it's just a niche

:10:21.:10:24.

problem, that crime is only in the inner cities, but it's not. There

:10:25.:10:28.

are is 9.2 million people in the UK have a criminal record. The Ministry

:10:29.:10:32.

of Justice did a report and said if offenders were given employment

:10:33.:10:35.

within that first year of release, they are less likely to reoffend.

:10:36.:10:39.

Over 60% of short-term prisoners do reoffend if they are not given a

:10:40.:10:43.

chance. That is one of the things the guys said to me. When they came

:10:44.:10:46.

out of prison they hardly had any money. They gave them ?46 and no

:10:47.:10:50.

support. They have to go to charities to get food because nobody

:10:51.:11:10.

would employ them. They have skill sets. I know they are here and I

:11:11.:11:12.

will truthfully say, being with them and the way they interacted with the

:11:13.:11:15.

customers, they've got great mannerisms about them. They are good

:11:16.:11:17.

guys. They know they've been bad in the past and are turning over a new

:11:18.:11:20.

leaf. They just want a chance. There is a new survey out, Ban the Box, it

:11:21.:11:23.

is run in the community. When anybody applies for a job there is a

:11:24.:11:26.

little box you have to take if you've got a criminal record. We're

:11:27.:11:28.

not talking about serious crimes, we are talking about unspent

:11:29.:11:30.

convictions. A fine for speeding. Everyone has to say they have had a

:11:31.:11:33.

criminal past. Less than 50% of businesses would even interview

:11:34.:11:35.

someone if they had a criminal record, although they've said 80% of

:11:36.:11:38.

them did agree they deserve a second chance. The issue here is they are

:11:39.:11:41.

not even getting to that first stage of interview. I think it is a great

:11:42.:11:48.

idea. Our prisons are overflowing, from what I understand. So many

:11:49.:11:51.

young people particularly, sometimes they do it for Dare... I don't know

:11:52.:11:57.

why. And if you've done your time... Did you see the Shawshank

:11:58.:12:03.

redemption? The actor, Morgan Freeman, when he came out he had

:12:04.:12:07.

been in jail for a long time but he found that he couldn't get a job in

:12:08.:12:12.

that movie. I think that cut the cord with me. That campaign may go

:12:13.:12:17.

towards helping people in that position. Hopefully, because I do

:12:18.:12:21.

think they deserve a chance. The proof of the pudding is in the

:12:22.:12:25.

tasting. Five years down the line, I hope they are still a success. How

:12:26.:12:32.

many times have you moved, Joan? 50. Would you look for the services of

:12:33.:12:38.

Michael and Daniel? They look like good guys, yes. Thank you for coming

:12:39.:12:46.

in and thanks to you as well, Iwan. Last night, over 9 million viewers

:12:47.:12:49.

watched the final of The Great British Bake Off. Here is the moment

:12:50.:12:55.

they revealed the winner. The winner of the 2013 Great British Bake Off

:12:56.:12:57.

is... Francis! Congratulations. I feel a bit

:12:58.:13:28.

overwhelmed meeting you, because I've watched it for so many weeks.

:13:29.:13:32.

You've known since June, because you've finished filming it in the

:13:33.:13:37.

summer. How have you managed to keep it a secret? I don't know. If

:13:38.:13:42.

debating fails I could maybe go into MI5, keeping a poker face going! You

:13:43.:13:50.

must have told somebody. Really close family, they were there on the

:13:51.:13:54.

final day, and some friends knew. But I had to give it to myself. It's

:13:55.:14:00.

so nice to see you are not looking stressed and running around the

:14:01.:14:03.

kitchen. The wedding cake was what sealed it for you. It ultimately

:14:04.:14:09.

was. So pretty. And quite brave, you've been used to these amazing

:14:10.:14:14.

cakes, you kept it quite simple and that was really what you wanted to

:14:15.:14:18.

do. Did you get sick of them saying continually, its style over

:14:19.:14:22.

substance. It did become my tag line. For me, the style is so

:14:23.:14:27.

important, but what I learned through being on there is to not

:14:28.:14:30.

forget the substance. The one thing I feared was people thinking that I

:14:31.:14:35.

just create cakes that look good, but the taste is so important to me.

:14:36.:14:39.

That's why the final signature bake, it was great to hear that the

:14:40.:14:43.

flavours were all there. Mind you, you can't beat a birthday cake like

:14:44.:14:53.

that. Incredible designs. It looked like carrot cake. Green make Ginger

:14:54.:15:01.

cake studded with rhubarb. Rhubarb? ! You like the idea of that, Joan.

:15:02.:15:11.

Do you do one with avocado in? Have a look at some of these. See if

:15:12.:15:16.

these take your fancy. You came up with the most beautiful array of

:15:17.:15:31.

stuff. Look at that! Where and when did you start baking? I was the

:15:32.:15:41.

youngest of five, and that is when I remember being in the kitchen. I

:15:42.:15:44.

never felt intimidated by being in there. Are you a baker, John? No, I

:15:45.:15:57.

just eat it! At the end of the show we will give you a synopsis of

:15:58.:16:01.

everybody's thoughts. What are you doing now? Are you getting over the

:16:02.:16:10.

shock? I am still getting over it. Watching last night, I stood up

:16:11.:16:14.

through the whole thing. I watched it with friends and families. There

:16:15.:16:23.

were 25 of us packed into a room. Most of them did not know, then? A

:16:24.:16:31.

few dead, but it was just so tense. -- a few did. Was it a relief that

:16:32.:16:43.

the pressure came off because of the speculation in the lead up to the

:16:44.:16:48.

final? I was the dark course. I slept under the radar. Suddenly, the

:16:49.:16:51.

bookies were closing down bets because of the flurry coming in. I

:16:52.:17:01.

was thinking, people are not going to expect my name to be called, so I

:17:02.:17:05.

was so nervous. It was nice that they kept it quiet. There were just

:17:06.:17:16.

three of you. It was well over a minute, between them saying, the

:17:17.:17:27.

winner is, and my name being announced. Congratulations. We were

:17:28.:17:32.

going to get you a cake, but then we did not bother. Congratulations, it

:17:33.:17:37.

has been brilliant to watch you. It has been 40 years since Noel Coward

:17:38.:17:42.

died. As well as writing his plays, he also did a lot to help the

:17:43.:17:54.

younger generation. I am an enormously talented man and

:17:55.:17:58.

there is no use pretending I am not. Those are the words of playwright,

:17:59.:18:03.

composer, actor and theatrical legend, Noel Coward. As a fan, I

:18:04.:18:10.

heartily agree with his unabashed description. Noel Coward remains an

:18:11.:18:18.

icon of stage and screen, but what is less well-known is his

:18:19.:18:23.

association with the Actors' Orphanage, a charity to help the

:18:24.:18:28.

children of those who were treading the boards. It began when there was

:18:29.:18:34.

a realisation that there were parents who could not put their

:18:35.:18:37.

children anywhere and could not afford a nanny. A children's, was

:18:38.:18:43.

set up. Wended Noel Coward come involved? -- when did? He was

:18:44.:18:49.

brought in to help arrange garden parties. He brought along stars.

:18:50.:18:52.

They asked him to join the committee. When 1934, they asked him

:18:53.:18:59.

to be president. At 1956, we had Noel Coward at the helm. It was

:19:00.:19:04.

close to his heart. He passionately believed in it. One beneficiary was

:19:05.:19:12.

Susanna Slater. She lived at the charity's home for younger children

:19:13.:19:16.

in Surrey, before moving to London when she was 11. Mother decided to

:19:17.:19:23.

put us in the Actors' Orphanage so she could get on with her career.

:19:24.:19:28.

Judy was three and I was five and a half. You were not an orphan, and

:19:29.:19:34.

many of the children were not? We were either children of one parent

:19:35.:19:38.

families, or a family who had come on hard times, and we were all

:19:39.:19:43.

children of theatrical people. Did you see Noel Coward? Quite a bit. He

:19:44.:19:49.

was marvellous. Every time he came down, we had strawberries and cream

:19:50.:19:55.

for tea. And he brought famous people to the orphanage? All the

:19:56.:20:01.

time, yes. Marlene Dietrich came several times? Several times. It did

:20:02.:20:08.

not dawn on us until we were older who they were. We just knew that

:20:09.:20:12.

they were kind people. Noel Coward used to give us five shillings every

:20:13.:20:17.

Christmas, a postal order. What kind of things did he do when he

:20:18.:20:23.

visited? He used to be interested in what we were reading and doing at

:20:24.:20:26.

school. He used to play the piano for us and saying. We use to put on

:20:27.:20:32.

little shows for him as well. He knew us all by name. When World War

:20:33.:20:38.

II broke out, Noel Coward arranged for all of the orphans to be

:20:39.:20:41.

transported to safety across the Atlantic. He was so clever doing

:20:42.:20:47.

that. He got every star in America to sponsor a child. They did not

:20:48.:20:50.

live with them, they were at a centre in New York. At high days and

:20:51.:20:59.

holidays, the stars would take them to their homes and look after them.

:21:00.:21:04.

In later life, Noel Coward spoke of an offer from a former orphan who

:21:05.:21:11.

wanted Noel Coward in his latest movie... I go to Dublin to start

:21:12.:21:17.

work on The Italian Job. It is a good script and I expect to enjoy

:21:18.:21:24.

it. It is to be directed by a boy I saved from expulsion by giving him a

:21:25.:21:28.

brisk heart to heart on the garden seat. Goodbye, Mr Bridger. Did you

:21:29.:21:40.

hear that? He said, goodbye, Mr Bridger. As long as he comes back, I

:21:41.:21:46.

do not care. Nearly all of us who went there are looked on it as our

:21:47.:21:50.

home. There are a few who were against it, but it was more because

:21:51.:21:54.

they could not understand why their parents had put them in there. They

:21:55.:22:01.

resented it. A lot of us appreciate him. If it were not for him, God

:22:02.:22:11.

knows where we would have been. What a remarkable story. A life of

:22:12.:22:18.

dedication. I said hello to him once when I was about 17, but I just

:22:19.:22:23.

loved his work, I loved his place. What was it about it? They were

:22:24.:22:29.

crisp and funny. I love the sharp and sarcastic sense of humour. I

:22:30.:22:36.

yearned to do Private Lives. I eventually did. It was great fun. I

:22:37.:22:42.

also produced a set of his plays and got a lot of my famous chums to be

:22:43.:22:51.

in it with me. That is magic, isn't it? We had great fun. My ex-husband,

:22:52.:23:00.

Anthony Newley, we got together after that. We have got a clip of

:23:01.:23:22.

you. THEY SING.

:23:23.:23:28.

How long is it since you have seen that? A bit night -- about 1993?

:23:29.:23:38.

Sadly, Tony is no longer with us, but he was such a great performer. I

:23:39.:23:44.

write about him in my book. It is a Berlin memoir. Passion For Life. It

:23:45.:23:53.

is quite a busy month for books. We had Harry Redknapp last night,

:23:54.:23:58.

didn't we? And Alex Ferguson's is out tomorrow. There is lots of talk

:23:59.:24:02.

about how he settles scores. We just wondered, whose noses are going to

:24:03.:24:11.

be put out of joint when we read yours? There is a secret to do with

:24:12.:24:20.

Dynasty. When my agent told me about it, he said, it is fading fast.

:24:21.:24:26.

Nobody is watching it. He said, they want you for five or six weeks to

:24:27.:24:34.

beef it up. So, I came in. And then the show rocketed. Some of the

:24:35.:24:37.

members of the cast, particularly the lead man, he did not like it.

:24:38.:24:47.

His nose was put out of joint and unfortunately, we did not get along.

:24:48.:24:52.

It worked very well because we had to hate each other in the show. That

:24:53.:25:02.

was real, on-screen? In one scene, he had to strangle me. I was so

:25:03.:25:08.

nervous I said, Sandy, at the same dresses me because I am worried. And

:25:09.:25:15.

if you see the strangling scene, that is not me in the long shot. I

:25:16.:25:23.

did put his nose out of joint, and I am sorry. You can flick through it

:25:24.:25:26.

and see all of these beautiful pictures. It is a pictorial memoir.

:25:27.:25:34.

It is 50,000 words and pictures, so it is a mixture of both. There are

:25:35.:25:40.

chapters about my life, about my boyfriends. My favourite chapter!

:25:41.:25:46.

Really? And my husband is, of course. And some naughty stories,

:25:47.:25:53.

which one has to do. And a lot of stuff about my early family. I found

:25:54.:25:59.

these amazing old pictures of some relatives who were dancers in the

:26:00.:26:06.

1920s. There was one of my ants, and she is wearing nothing. -- aunt, and

:26:07.:26:22.

she is wearing nothing. Was your hairdresser the first person to tell

:26:23.:26:28.

you I was -- you were beautiful? She said, you have beautiful eyes. I

:26:29.:26:34.

said, I do? In this era, your father or mother never told you you were

:26:35.:26:37.

pretty clever or nice. They said, sit down, eat, or shut up. They were

:26:38.:26:44.

not bad to me, but children were to be seen and not heard. It was very

:26:45.:26:50.

old-fashioned. I enjoyed writing it. The other picture we have ready is a

:26:51.:26:55.

lovely one of you and Warren Beatty. Isn't he handsome? He was

:26:56.:27:02.

22, he should be! He was very handsome. Lots of pictures of you

:27:03.:27:09.

with various stars. And then, we came of this one. Here it is. No,

:27:10.:27:19.

not that one, this one! Begins and I doing our favourite thing, eating.

:27:20.:27:33.

-- Biggins and I. We were going to open an hotel in Greece. Did you ask

:27:34.:27:42.

his permission? Yes. If anyone wants a signed copy I am at Selfridge's in

:27:43.:27:49.

the afternoon. There will be a big Q. You have had loads of hits. Let's

:27:50.:27:55.

remind ourselves of one of the biggest.

:27:56.:28:01.

Just a bit of advice, if you are dressing for Stephen, not that one.

:28:02.:28:04.

He does not like anything quite so obvious. Thank you. But when Stephen

:28:05.:28:12.

does not like what I wear, I take it off.

:28:13.:28:28.

Goodness me! Was that you or your stunt double? That was me. She was

:28:29.:28:33.

about five foot two and every time she came to that part she said, I do

:28:34.:28:36.

not want to hurt her. The director said, go and hit her as hard as you

:28:37.:28:44.

can. She hit me so hard that my earring sell-off and I thought it

:28:45.:28:50.

was my teeth falling on the ground. She said, I am so sorry, I did not

:28:51.:29:00.

mean it. I had a huge wealth. -- brews. The make-up man had to come.

:29:01.:29:12.

You had a lovely smile at the end. That was one of your first major

:29:13.:29:17.

Hollywood roles. And then I played in America, and I played Agger call

:29:18.:29:23.

-- a girl called Crystal, how about that? Joan's book, Passion For

:29:24.:29:30.

Life, is out now. Ridden's inventor 's annual show

:29:31.:29:37.

opens tomorrow. We have a preview. First, cardboard furniture. Here is

:29:38.:29:45.

David Graham and his miserable cardboard furniture set. -- his

:29:46.:29:55.

movable cardboard furniture set. And here we have a sumo wrestler. What

:29:56.:30:05.

makes it so innovative? This is an industrial cardboard table. Before

:30:06.:30:10.

that, there were only pallets. You can put it up in 20 seconds and it

:30:11.:30:16.

can take 150 kilos. It weighs 4.5 kilos and it is the strongest and

:30:17.:30:23.

lightest. Joan is very excited about seeing Steve in action. Steve,

:30:24.:30:35.

whenever you are ready. I'm going to mash that table!

:30:36.:30:47.

We will see some more inventions later on. It looked a bit wobbly to

:30:48.:30:58.

me. Who, Steve? The Georgia is behind are dumbfounded. The reason

:30:59.:31:03.

we have all of these Georges is because earlier today it was Prince

:31:04.:31:11.

George's christening. Steve is fine! Fewer people are going to church.

:31:12.:31:16.

However, according to the church of England, baptisms are on the rise.

:31:17.:31:21.

We asked you, is it OK to get your children christened if you don't

:31:22.:31:24.

regularly go to church? Have your say.

:31:25.:31:38.

Five and a half minutes left to vote.

:31:39.:31:48.

The vote ends at 7:35pm sharp. We will reveal the results later. We

:31:49.:31:59.

sent another of our Georges, King George McGavin of wildlife, to learn

:32:00.:32:04.

about the new technique enabling us to track ants, by tagging them with

:32:05.:32:11.

microchips. It sounds a bit fiddly. Hairy wood ants are one of the

:32:12.:32:18.

largest and in the UK and famous for building big, mounded nests in

:32:19.:32:23.

woodlands. Here in Sheffield, there has been ground-breaking research

:32:24.:32:27.

about how they work in these nests and wife. On this slope there are

:32:28.:32:33.

many nests that make up this giant hairy wood and metropolis. That is

:32:34.:32:38.

something in the region of 50 million individual ants. And they

:32:39.:32:43.

are all farming and foraging, building and generally being good

:32:44.:32:49.

neighbours. Sam Ellis is a biologist from the University of York, and for

:32:50.:32:52.

the last two years he's been on his hands and knees studying and tagging

:32:53.:32:57.

these ants using technology that has never been used out in field. This

:32:58.:33:02.

technique has been used in the lab before. I think this is the first

:33:03.:33:06.

time it's ever been done on wild colonies of ants. No one has been

:33:07.:33:12.

fortunate enough to try! What will you learn from being able to target

:33:13.:33:20.

individual ants in this huge area? Ants look very similar, generally.

:33:21.:33:25.

This gives each one an individual identity, a unique identity, so you

:33:26.:33:28.

can find out which ones are doing what, when, and what they are taking

:33:29.:33:33.

with them as they go. It will build up a picture of the entire colony's

:33:34.:33:39.

behaviour based on what the individuals are doing. He painlessly

:33:40.:33:44.

tags around 1000 ants at a time. Using a bar code reader, he collect

:33:45.:33:47.

data as they move about doing their daily jobs. Up to now it was known

:33:48.:33:54.

that some and move between nests, but no one knew the full scale of

:33:55.:34:00.

these cities. That is what is really interesting about this species. It's

:34:01.:34:04.

one colony but they split themselves between these multiple nests and

:34:05.:34:08.

walking between them. There's an obvious trail joining those two. But

:34:09.:34:13.

it's not just a couple of connections. What the research has

:34:14.:34:19.

shown is that this nest is connected... To this one. And this

:34:20.:34:28.

one. And this nest is connected to both of these and, in turn, is

:34:29.:34:37.

connected to these... This one over here. It is a complex society with

:34:38.:34:42.

very specific roles. There are delivery ants who will only ever

:34:43.:34:46.

shuttle between two nests, while others are foragers who move between

:34:47.:34:56.

just one nest and one tree. And this is why they are foraging up the

:34:57.:35:02.

tree. Up in the treetops are colonies of aphids. Aphids suck

:35:03.:35:06.

plant sap, and there's an excess of sugar in the plant with the -- which

:35:07.:35:13.

the aphids don't need. While these aphids secrete a substance, the ants

:35:14.:35:18.

take it and take it back to others to distribute around the network.

:35:19.:35:22.

They will bring it back down to the nest. They also move it between the

:35:23.:35:28.

nests. They are transferring food, resources and communicating. And the

:35:29.:35:32.

only way you could find this out is by using your unique system of

:35:33.:35:36.

tagging individuals. It's the only way you can see which individuals

:35:37.:35:41.

are going where and how the nests are communicating. Like all

:35:42.:35:46.

colonies, there are ants whose job it is to get rid of any potential

:35:47.:35:50.

threats. These ants defend their nests by producing a spray of formic

:35:51.:35:56.

acid, which they produce from glands in their abdomen. If I use this

:35:57.:36:01.

piece of TH paper and irritate the top of the nest, they all come

:36:02.:36:04.

swarming out. They will produce massive amounts of formic acid. I

:36:05.:36:11.

can smell it now. That was quite strong! You can see how quickly it

:36:12.:36:16.

turns from an orange yellow colour to read. Eventually that will go

:36:17.:36:21.

completely red, which is actually highly acidic. Ants are an essential

:36:22.:36:28.

element in any habitat. And while we are used to thinking of them as a

:36:29.:36:32.

colony, not single individuals, thanks to this research, we

:36:33.:36:35.

understand that colonies might extend over a much larger area than

:36:36.:36:44.

we ever imagined. 20 seconds until the lines" today's vote. We will

:36:45.:36:49.

give you the results before the end of the show. Time for our next

:36:50.:36:54.

guest. He is a man who, like Joan, has been very fashion conscious. He

:36:55.:37:01.

has always kept a very well-managed Barnett. But unlike Joan, he's never

:37:02.:37:06.

been great at applying his own make-up. Here he is at work.

:37:07.:37:16.

# When I need you. # I just close my eyes and I'm with

:37:17.:37:31.

you. Please welcome Leo Sayer! Nice to

:37:32.:38:01.

meet you. You look amazing. You don't look too bad yourself.

:38:02.:38:09.

Congratulations, 40 years in music. So many albums, so many singles.

:38:10.:38:16.

It's extraordinary. Suddenly you wake up and there it is, there's a

:38:17.:38:22.

date. It's scary. Anniversaries come around. It's a shock. And here they

:38:23.:38:44.

all are. A couple of films as well. The Stud. I did that. We used to see

:38:45.:38:50.

each other travelling transatlantic. I was living in Los Angeles and you

:38:51.:38:54.

were as well. We were both friendly with the airline, British Airways.

:38:55.:39:00.

The most frequent flyer in first class was your headline. Absolutely.

:39:01.:39:10.

Those were good days to fly. They never shut up when they get

:39:11.:39:18.

together. I worked with him! All the albums are in here. Fabulous! I want

:39:19.:39:29.

it. And you designed the cover. It was a bit of a labour of love. I

:39:30.:39:35.

used to do album covers. That's what I did before I became the singer. I

:39:36.:39:40.

did covers for Bob Marley and people like that. Amazing. It came in

:39:41.:39:50.

useful. It was based on a movie, a French movie. There was a character

:39:51.:39:55.

in it. I loved this character when I was at art school. Somebody said,

:39:56.:39:59.

how do you see yourself? I looked at a picture and I said, like that. He

:40:00.:40:06.

knew a guy who dressed like that. I went to the studio dressed like that

:40:07.:40:09.

and it worked. It made people listen to the words of the songs. But the

:40:10.:40:15.

other thing that just works is your incredible hair. I don't know how

:40:16.:40:20.

I've done it. I'm 65 now and I'm quite proud that I've got it. Paul

:40:21.:40:24.

McCartney had a bit of a connection with that. He did. I was managed by

:40:25.:40:30.

Adam Faith, he discovered me. One of the first things he did when he met

:40:31.:40:34.

me was say, we are going to go and have lunch. We sat down and there

:40:35.:40:39.

was a surprise because we were in a private room. The door opens and alt

:40:40.:40:44.

walks Paul McCartney. Can you imagine? He wasn't Sir Paul

:40:45.:40:51.

McCartney then, but he walks in. He said, what do you want to know, lad?

:40:52.:40:57.

He told me nothing. But he said, I'll give you one piece of advice.

:40:58.:41:05.

Don't cut your hair. Years later, I'm walking through LA and I'm on

:41:06.:41:09.

Sunset Boulevard. Life has changed completely. A car pulls up, a

:41:10.:41:14.

Mercedes, it's him, get in, get in! I'm thinking, what? It's Paul

:41:15.:41:20.

McCartney! He said, where are you going? I said, I'm going to Tower

:41:21.:41:25.

records. We go in there together and he said, you did one thing great. I

:41:26.:41:29.

said, what was that? He said, you took my advice. I could remember. He

:41:30.:41:43.

said, you didn't cut your hair. 162 songs on there. Gal is there

:41:44.:41:50.

something like too much of Leo Sayer? I don't think so. They are

:41:51.:41:56.

all different. Very different sounding records, very different

:41:57.:41:59.

techniques. I'm proud that I'm wrote most of it. The next 40 years are

:42:00.:42:04.

going to be even better. There's a new album on the way. We are doing a

:42:05.:42:09.

tour of the UK all the way through November. Are you doing London? We

:42:10.:42:21.

are. Come down. I will. If you want to get your hands on this complete

:42:22.:42:25.

studio recordings box, Just A Box, it's available on Monday. The tour

:42:26.:42:30.

starts in Limerick. The trick is to get all these back in the box. We

:42:31.:42:38.

are talking about inventions. That's an invention! We've got three new

:42:39.:42:44.

inventions. My dad was an inventor. He invented a thermostat for an

:42:45.:42:49.

electric kettle in about 1935. But he forgot to patented. -- eight and

:42:50.:43:01.

it. He failed to get the invention in time. He said, unfortunately, Mr

:43:02.:43:06.

Hoover, later on he did the vacuum cleaner. He had done it before him.

:43:07.:43:12.

Did he have hair like you? We could have been millionaires! You could

:43:13.:43:19.

have been a contender. We've got another invention. It's the British

:43:20.:43:25.

Invention Show. We've had one already. It's time for another.

:43:26.:43:30.

Joan, because you like keeping fit, we think you will like it. It's the

:43:31.:43:35.

world 's first Human Powered Vending Machine, made to be put in schools

:43:36.:43:38.

to educate children about calorie content. Steve is poised and ready.

:43:39.:43:45.

This was designed by Pep Torres. You have to work off the calories on the

:43:46.:43:48.

bike before you can take your food out. Here is the test. Our next film

:43:49.:43:54.

is four minutes and 16 seconds long. Get pedalling now and let's

:43:55.:43:59.

see if you can burn off the 88 calories that you need to earn

:44:00.:44:02.

yourself a packet of crisps in that time. After all that cycling, you

:44:03.:44:08.

will need a little rest. Here is after. There is nothing like a good

:44:09.:44:16.

sit down on a strategically placed park bench. Unlike that other great

:44:17.:44:20.

public convenience, the lavatory, benches are still free to use,

:44:21.:44:24.

abundant and nearly always fully functional. I love a bench! We need

:44:25.:44:39.

them. We do. Halfway back through from our gallivanting, we need to

:44:40.:44:43.

have this sit down and relax. I often go for walks and I often get

:44:44.:44:50.

tired. I rest for a couple of minutes. They are wonderful things.

:44:51.:44:55.

Most of them have writing on them telling you about somebody who loved

:44:56.:44:59.

the Heath once, and they are now gone. It is quite emotional. There's

:45:00.:45:03.

something very compelling about those brief inscriptions on the back

:45:04.:45:08.

of a park bench. A human life summed up in a handful of words. I don't do

:45:09.:45:20.

walks, please be seated. This bench is dedicated to Susan Samuels. Thank

:45:21.:45:32.

you, I will be seated. Stephen and his faithful assistant have spent a

:45:33.:45:37.

decade staking out some of the country's most memorable memorial

:45:38.:45:42.

benches. On Saturday I set out to Hampstead Heath to full graph every

:45:43.:45:49.

bench I passed. After a few hours I had about 160 inspections. It is

:45:50.:45:55.

just a snapshot of what may have lain beneath. Some of them are

:45:56.:46:09.

heartbreaking. Some of them are wanting.

:46:10.:46:14.

-- wanting. And some are simply rather funny. This is the bench that

:46:15.:46:34.

started it off. They could do with a bench here! Seven words that seemed

:46:35.:46:41.

to sum up a human life, poetic in their simplicity. That is it, it is

:46:42.:46:48.

useful, but it is lyrical at the same time. It makes you wonder who

:46:49.:46:55.

he was. With Stephen's help, we tracked down the man's family. They

:46:56.:47:00.

still live within walking distance of his bench. Lewis was my father

:47:01.:47:06.

and this was his bench, or a tribute to him. There was a long gap between

:47:07.:47:13.

two benches and he would say, they could do with a bench here. That was

:47:14.:47:19.

way of -- his way of thinking about life in general. What gave you the

:47:20.:47:27.

idea of a bench for your dad? We are not religious people. We are

:47:28.:47:32.

interested in living people rather than dead. This is a way of having a

:47:33.:47:38.

memorial to somebody emphasising life. Every year, Josh and his

:47:39.:47:47.

mother celebrate livers's birthday on his bench. To Dad. But sadly, the

:47:48.:48:02.

Hampstead Heath authorities are far too declared a moratorium on any new

:48:03.:48:05.

benches because they say it is getting too many benches. For now,

:48:06.:48:13.

at least, the waiting list for a memorial bench is close to stop you

:48:14.:48:19.

cannot get one for love nor money. Unless, of course, you cheat.

:48:20.:48:31.

That was the goose pimples, that film. Is Steve still going? Just

:48:32.:48:39.

over a minute to go. In the meantime, a lovely story that we

:48:40.:48:45.

hope the One Show viewers can find the ending too. A wedding

:48:46.:48:49.

photographer sent this picture in of two couples. It was taken on

:48:50.:48:59.

Brighton Pier in September. The couple on the left remain a mystery.

:49:00.:49:10.

The photographer, Heather, said that they had been happily married for

:49:11.:49:17.

over 50 years. There they are. Isn't that lovely? Header would like to

:49:18.:49:21.

track down the couple to give them a copy the photograph. -- Heather. If

:49:22.:49:27.

you know the couple on the left, get in touch on the usual address. Are

:49:28.:49:36.

you there, Steve? I have done it! I feel like I have won a gold medal.

:49:37.:49:44.

Just a packet of crisps. He has gone for cheese. Thank you so much.

:49:45.:49:55.

Earlier on we asked you, is it OK to get your children christened if you

:49:56.:49:59.

do not regularly go to church? You have been voting and I can reveal

:50:00.:50:13.

that no is 47% and yes this 53%. Lots of e-mails. Mrs Hall says, we

:50:14.:50:20.

are not religious. For my granddaughter we had a baby naming

:50:21.:50:23.

ceremony in the garden. There are other ways of welcoming the baby

:50:24.:50:28.

into the family. Louise Jackson says, my eight-year-old has been

:50:29.:50:34.

christened. My husband and I are not churchgoers, but she joined the

:50:35.:50:37.

church choir and loves the church environment. It was a lovely day.

:50:38.:50:44.

David from Norwich says, I am Greek Orthodox and an orthodox Christian

:50:45.:50:47.

has to be baptised to take part in the life of the church. I do not

:50:48.:50:51.

think the Church of England enforces this heavily enough. Lastly, Wendy

:50:52.:50:58.

says, it is surely a person's attitude rather than church that

:50:59.:51:04.

matters. Thank you for all of your e-mails. For the past four weeks, we

:51:05.:51:14.

have been conducted a business /social /parenting experiment. We

:51:15.:51:19.

went to see if mothers are the fountains of all knowledge and how

:51:20.:51:25.

annoying it would be if they were -- if it were true.

:51:26.:51:42.

This website Rector wants to make his workforce more of a happy

:51:43.:51:48.

family. -- website director. This is like a barrel of broken biscuits.

:51:49.:51:52.

They are all slightly imperfect, they have all got a flaw. His plan

:51:53.:51:59.

to improve his biscuits could smash them to smithereens. He has invited

:52:00.:52:03.

the mothers of three workers into the office as well as his own

:52:04.:52:07.

mother-in-law, Sheila. You need to be better organised. He felt that

:52:08.:52:14.

some of his workers would then fit mother management. For the past week

:52:15.:52:19.

has been information gathering... Tell the truth, does she speak

:52:20.:52:29.

nicely? Snooping... I am impressed with how tidy your desk is. And

:52:30.:52:35.

giving advice, asked four or otherwise... So, did mum know best

:52:36.:52:48.

or did they not help? It is judgement day. It is time for John

:52:49.:52:51.

to find out if his plan was is excess. In John's first meeting with

:52:52.:52:56.

mum, Jackie, he said her daughter had become more mature -- needed to

:52:57.:53:02.

become more mature for her new role as accounts manager. How do you feel

:53:03.:53:09.

about her work? I was surprised how adult you are. I have seen a

:53:10.:53:21.

professional side to my daughter. Mum took in hand to sort out before

:53:22.:53:27.

her first face-to-face client meeting. She has taught me that I

:53:28.:53:31.

need to be a little bit more prepared. I am so proud of her. She

:53:32.:53:37.

is full of life, full of beans. All you want is for your children to be

:53:38.:53:47.

happy and success. -- successful. Onto mum number two. John had told

:53:48.:53:51.

Sheila that Joe have a bright future but needed to keep focused. -- that

:53:52.:53:59.

Jill had a bright future. Do you think she will take things on board?

:54:00.:54:05.

I have told she can see it and do it. Sheila made sure that her

:54:06.:54:09.

daughter's presentation standards were smartened up. They do not need

:54:10.:54:18.

to know you cannot remember your password! It was very much, do what

:54:19.:54:25.

I do and do what I say. And it worked. Mum's frank advice really

:54:26.:54:31.

worked when the boss is checked up on Jill's presentation skills. I

:54:32.:54:40.

will always be there mum -- their mother. Onto mum number three. John

:54:41.:54:50.

wanted Margaret to encourage new manager, Ryan, to have more empathy.

:54:51.:54:57.

What has it been like observing him? It is not what I expected and it has

:54:58.:55:05.

opened my eyes. Mum decided to run team-building exercises to help him

:55:06.:55:09.

learn how to trust his team and had to earn their respect. You have to

:55:10.:55:17.

trust her. I do not trust her. That is the problem. Take a problem and

:55:18.:55:27.

listen. I had a feeling she could bring something to the areas I was

:55:28.:55:32.

struggling, such as earning the trust in my team. I feel really

:55:33.:55:39.

proud that he wanted my advice. At 27 you think, they are an adult, but

:55:40.:55:43.

he still really want is my advice, which is lovely. -- really wants my

:55:44.:55:49.

advice. Throughout the week, mothers did what they do, they encouraged

:55:50.:55:55.

healthy eating, tidied the place up and made the offer is more like a

:55:56.:56:00.

home. Having breakfast together in the morning, or even a space where

:56:01.:56:05.

people can socialise together, will be the lasting legacy of the

:56:06.:56:09.

experiment. The experiment has been a great success. The mums leave a

:56:10.:56:19.

book full of advice and handy tips. This is for your office. I would

:56:20.:56:26.

have liked to have left a legacy for mothers coming in, doing their

:56:27.:56:30.

thing, and all of these youngsters, developing new habits. That would

:56:31.:56:35.

make me very proud. If other mums were given the opportunity to do

:56:36.:56:43.

this, I would say, go for it. It is a great experience. I would

:56:44.:56:47.

recommend it to any other mother to live your child's life for a day. It

:56:48.:56:57.

has been a great experience. If I had not done this, I would not feel

:56:58.:57:01.

less enormous pride. The pride this week is beaming out of me. I would

:57:02.:57:06.

like to say thank you to the mothers. It has been a pleasure to

:57:07.:57:13.

have you here. Was it worth getting them in? Absolutely. And everybody

:57:14.:57:19.

had fun. People will remember it for a very long time.

:57:20.:57:25.

And that is the end of the mums at work series. Thank you to all those

:57:26.:57:33.

who took part. Let's have a round of applause. Some of the final

:57:34.:57:44.

inventions might interest the mums. This is called Nappy Time. This

:57:45.:58:01.

keeps the baby safe. So many babies have awful accidents. It was an

:58:02.:58:11.

accident that inspired this helmet that you can carry in your bag, and

:58:12.:58:21.

did is collapsible. Is it for motorcyclists? Pedal bikes. I fell

:58:22.:58:30.

off my bike on Saturday. You would want to put it in your backpack.

:58:31.:58:45.

That is it. You can chat away to your heart's content. Thank you to

:58:46.:58:54.

Joan. And Leo. Tomorrow, comedian Ed Byrne is here. We will see you at

:58:55.:58:57.
