:00:15. > :00:16.Hello and welcome to the One Show, with Alex Jones.
:00:17. > :00:21.Tonight's show can't start until our audience here is excited
:00:22. > :00:31.We can hear their heartbeat is pretty relaxed.
:00:32. > :00:34.What if I tell them he's one of the UK's most popular
:00:35. > :01:17.Where did you find that? Stop it! It is brilliant. Don't encourage them!
:01:18. > :01:20.Such an intense picture. What was I channelling?
:01:21. > :01:22.Vernon, we're talking heart rates because the new series
:01:23. > :01:24.of 1000 Heartbeats that you're presenting kicked off today.
:01:25. > :01:32.But has anything been raising your heart rate over the weekend?
:01:33. > :01:37.The boxing, Anthony Crolla, in Manchester. After the serious
:01:38. > :01:43.injuries he suffered tackling a burglar, he became world champion, I
:01:44. > :01:44.went ballistic. You must have been jumping up and down. Capacity
:01:45. > :01:46.everywhere. We want to know what's been raising
:01:47. > :01:49.your heart rates over the weekend. Or on your hen do? Or maybe you have
:01:50. > :02:03.just seen the photo! Send us your photos to
:02:04. > :02:05.the usual address and we'll show Also tonight, this is sure to get
:02:06. > :02:10.hearts beating, we've got hundreds of Strictly fans outside, along with
:02:11. > :02:12.Strictly professional Natalie Lowe. They'll be doing the Strictly
:02:13. > :02:22.dance at the end of the show. Keep warm, we will be with you
:02:23. > :02:26.shortly! In one part of London,
:02:27. > :02:28.residents are so concerned about crime that they're considering
:02:29. > :02:30.funding their own police force. Time
:02:31. > :02:42.for the Sergeant to investigate. Hampstead, London, Enderby U three.
:02:43. > :02:51.Called professionals, yummy mummies, and celebrities. Wait a
:02:52. > :02:59.moment! Are you local? Indeed. A terrace house will set you back ?2
:03:00. > :03:03.million. Many of you will think if you live here, you have got it all,
:03:04. > :03:09.but some people do want something more, they want more police, and
:03:10. > :03:13.they are prepared to pay. Despite having one of the lowest crime rates
:03:14. > :03:19.in the capital, some residents do not feel safe. I have lived here for
:03:20. > :03:24.25 years, we have never seen the violent crime that we have had. With
:03:25. > :03:29.the local police station closed, some are prepared to dip into their
:03:30. > :03:34.own pockets to fund more bobbies on the beat. The organisers reckon if
:03:35. > :03:38.their plan is put into effect, there would be six extra police officers
:03:39. > :03:43.in this area. Is it fair and reasonable for rich people to summon
:03:44. > :03:52.up extra police? One woman who thinks it is is Jessica, she is
:03:53. > :03:58.asking locals to pay ?600,000 over three years to pay for the officers
:03:59. > :04:03.who work here in Hampstead. But Sian thinks it is a bad idea, she will
:04:04. > :04:08.stand as a candidate for the men of London for the Green party. What are
:04:09. > :04:12.the problems? We had a spike in violent crime, we have had men
:04:13. > :04:18.attacked on the street and in the drives of their homes by men with
:04:19. > :04:22.hammers riding mopeds who would then steal their watches. That is the
:04:23. > :04:26.crime we have been seeing. Councils can choose to pay for extra officers
:04:27. > :04:31.in their area, but this is the first time a community group has asked
:04:32. > :04:36.locals to stump up for more police. It is all very well talking about
:04:37. > :04:40.Hampstead, looking nationally, if this was to extend, you would have
:04:41. > :04:47.so many police in Surrey, how many in Sheffield, Manchester, places
:04:48. > :04:51.where they cannot afford to pay's communities have a choice. We have
:04:52. > :04:54.been the first, and I think other communities will follow suit. Tell
:04:55. > :05:02.us about the people who have pledged money. Anything between ?10 a year
:05:03. > :05:10.to much more. They must be very rich. What you have are people who
:05:11. > :05:14.are concerned about what is going on in deck immunity who would like to
:05:15. > :05:17.benefit the whole community and the extra officers will be patrolling
:05:18. > :05:23.for everyone's benefit, not just those who contribute. It is not
:05:24. > :05:26.healthy, you would end up with the police concentrated around where
:05:27. > :05:29.people can pay and people in poor areas which have higher crime than
:05:30. > :05:35.rich areas would be really suffering. We need a campaign to
:05:36. > :05:44.reduce the cuts. So that everybody can benefit. It was suggested it
:05:45. > :05:50.would not set a good president, and Boris Johnson says he is not
:05:51. > :05:53.attracted to the idea. There is not much official enthusiasm, but if
:05:54. > :05:59.there are going to be severe police cuts, people are bound to look out
:06:00. > :06:05.for any alternative. With the police in London expecting to save ?800
:06:06. > :06:10.million by 2020, could private funding be taken seriously? We have
:06:11. > :06:19.got the plan, let's see what the public think. If I was sure that my
:06:20. > :06:23.money was definitely going to put bobbies on the beat in my area, I
:06:24. > :06:31.would not mind so much, that I am not happy to pay more for a general
:06:32. > :06:36.idea which is a bit vague. Would you be prepared to pay for extra
:06:37. > :06:41.police? Those of us who can should be paying more tax for many things,
:06:42. > :06:45.not just for police. Crime is not particularly high in this area, so
:06:46. > :06:49.it does not seem to have a huge relevance.
:06:50. > :06:56.Policing is a hot topic this weekend. People worried about the
:06:57. > :07:00.Paris attacks and the terror threat, which we have to live with, but this
:07:01. > :07:04.is the week when there will be a statement from the Chancellor on all
:07:05. > :07:09.of the public spending plans, and people will be looking at the police
:07:10. > :07:12.budget. He says he cannot guarantee that the numbers of police officers
:07:13. > :07:18.will not go down, but this is after five years of a reduction. There are
:07:19. > :07:22.some interesting statistics with the relationship between bobbies on the
:07:23. > :07:25.beat and crime rates are. The Government can argue that crime is
:07:26. > :07:31.going down, but people do not feel it, in Hampstead, that is not a high
:07:32. > :07:36.crime area, but when people see something, they see it on
:07:37. > :07:42.television, violence, and Paris, they think, I would like to feel
:07:43. > :07:48.more secure. It is quite an emotional thing. It is only a
:07:49. > :07:52.proposal. In Frinton on Sea, they are looking at something interesting
:07:53. > :07:57.in the same realm. It is a small place in Essex, but they are
:07:58. > :08:04.employing private security guards, three men, and the residents pay
:08:05. > :08:11.?100 a year, and they wonder around. They are armed. Three is not very
:08:12. > :08:14.many. But the interesting thing is people do not like the idea that
:08:15. > :08:20.because they have got money, they can afford it. Most local authority
:08:21. > :08:27.areas have rich parts and poor parts, so the idea that because you
:08:28. > :08:32.have got money... It is like private medicine, people are not keen on it,
:08:33. > :08:33.and even in Hampstead, it was interesting how reluctant they were
:08:34. > :08:38.to save what a good idea it was. Now, I don't know if you've heard
:08:39. > :08:48.of the marshmallow test. Is this what you did on your hen
:08:49. > :08:56.do? Slightly different! Don't we need a fire? We have not got one, it
:08:57. > :09:01.is a studio environment! I am quite surprised you accepted one. I do not
:09:02. > :09:04.normally like them, they are packed with sugar!
:09:05. > :09:08.Because having the discipline to resist could be
:09:09. > :09:26.The test saw children put in a room for 15 excruciating minutes and told
:09:27. > :09:32.not to eat the sweet whilst the researcher was out of the room.
:09:33. > :09:35.Those children who resisted grew to be stronger academically, had better
:09:36. > :09:39.social skills and lower levels of substance abuse. The test was seen
:09:40. > :09:43.as a kind of indicator of possible future achievement. The professor
:09:44. > :09:49.from the University of Warwick upgraded the test in the 1980s,
:09:50. > :09:54.using younger children and those who were born prematurely. The tests
:09:55. > :09:58.were previously done with school children, but we wanted to predict
:09:59. > :10:01.academic performance or attention regulation in school well before
:10:02. > :10:07.they went to school, we looked at it for 20 months old. We had a number
:10:08. > :10:11.of children who were born preterm, we know they have more problems. If
:10:12. > :10:17.we find that out, we can do something to intervene. 37% could
:10:18. > :10:22.not wait longer than up to ten seconds. Only 24% could wait for a
:10:23. > :10:27.minute. It was a very good spread. The results have now revealed that
:10:28. > :10:32.around two thirds of the kids that waited did better academically at
:10:33. > :10:38.the age of eight. Using a variety of props, we arranged a similar, though
:10:39. > :10:41.not scientific, test for some toddlers and watched anxiously with
:10:42. > :10:46.their parents. What do you expect her to do? If she wants something,
:10:47. > :10:52.she wanted straightaway, so it will be interesting. Will that be
:10:53. > :10:57.tempting for him? I am not sure if he has ever had a marshmallow. How
:10:58. > :11:02.important is it that a child learns they sometimes need to wait? Very
:11:03. > :11:05.important, an adult could you cannot have everything just because you put
:11:06. > :11:09.your foot down. It is important in school that you sit down and you are
:11:10. > :11:16.in a large group, you wait your turn. Well done! If it had gone the
:11:17. > :11:19.other way, do you think it might have changed how you might support
:11:20. > :11:28.her? I definitely think it would have. Make her more patient, things
:11:29. > :11:33.like that. Well done. I am not sure I agree with the idea of labelling a
:11:34. > :11:41.child. A child is going to develop at his own pace. Did you do it?
:11:42. > :11:49.Yes! Did he surprise you by waiting so patiently? I am surprised he did
:11:50. > :11:53.not eat it! He did very well, I was pleased and proud.
:11:54. > :12:01.They are really young! Would you want to put your child through that
:12:02. > :12:07.test to know the outcome? It is all to do with the parents and the way
:12:08. > :12:12.you are brought up. I think you bring your kids up the way you were
:12:13. > :12:13.brought up. That is hereditary, the way that you are mentally and
:12:14. > :12:21.physically. Interesting. From testing intelligence to testing
:12:22. > :12:23.heart rates, the second series of your quiz show 1000 Heartbeats
:12:24. > :12:25.kicked off this afternoon. For those who haven't seen it,
:12:26. > :12:33.explain the concept. The contestants are attached to a
:12:34. > :12:38.heart rate monitor, you have 1000 eight of your heart rate to answer
:12:39. > :12:42.seven questions to win ?25,000. You are the timer? Yes, you have to
:12:43. > :13:03.control your emotions. Let's play. Which of these UK cities
:13:04. > :13:19.is further north? Manchester. True row? Durham. Stop the heartbeats,
:13:20. > :13:25.well done! You got three wrong. During gameplay, your peak was
:13:26. > :13:33.massive! 172 beats per minute. It is not normal!
:13:34. > :13:42.One guy got up into the 100 natives and you had to stop? Yes, the medic
:13:43. > :13:46.said, can we stop their? Because he will keel over! We had to take him
:13:47. > :13:54.to one side, get him to calm down and relax. The orchestral playing as
:13:55. > :14:00.well, that makes it 100 times worse. It affects all of your senses, even
:14:01. > :14:04.smell. They said you can smell fear. With the music playing and the
:14:05. > :14:09.visuals, people get so scared. The heart rate goes through the roof.
:14:10. > :14:12.You said it is one of the best things you have presented, one of
:14:13. > :14:19.your favourites. All of the best game shows, you know what they are
:14:20. > :14:25.by the top line in the radio Times, no explanation, 1000 bits of your
:14:26. > :14:31.own heart to win 25 grand, it is simple. The rounds are fantastic,
:14:32. > :14:35.and as a viewer you cannot help but share the answers at the screen. We
:14:36. > :14:41.were doing it! We do it in the studio! Can you tell who will be
:14:42. > :14:46.quite good, people who look relaxed, or do they surprise you? The best we
:14:47. > :14:51.have had in the mathematics round, always the ones that stand people, a
:14:52. > :14:55.greengrocer and former used-car salesman, he could visualise
:14:56. > :15:02.numbers, because he has done that all his life, he would fire up the
:15:03. > :15:10.numbers. He was unbelievable. It is one to look forward to in this
:15:11. > :15:15.series. With a remarkable heartrate, she was so calm. Exactly. You have
:15:16. > :15:17.tried this with blue yes, I've done it, and Tess has as well, and she
:15:18. > :15:28.did really well. She got through the maths and went
:15:29. > :15:34.on to win a certain amount of cash. Keith Lemon was terrible.
:15:35. > :15:38.Unsurprisingly! And you are back on the radio now, how is that? It is
:15:39. > :15:47.great. Chris Moyles is my warm up, he does breakfast on Radio X. You
:15:48. > :15:48.wind each other up a lot on a day-to-day basis? We do. He's not
:15:49. > :15:56.here, is he? You never know. Now, it's Dom's turn to get his
:15:57. > :16:00.pulse racing, as he's taking part in Problem is, he's up against
:16:01. > :16:04.Henry Body, who's so quick off the mark that he can go from 0
:16:05. > :16:07.to 100mph in under 11 seconds. Mind you,
:16:08. > :16:16.he's had a lot of practice. The pensioner Henry Body, for him,
:16:17. > :16:22.happy retirement means time for his vintage motorbikes. But this pastime
:16:23. > :16:32.is hardly restful. Because Henry is addicted to speed. Henry is 81 years
:16:33. > :16:42.old, but he's still super quick off the mark. He's the British veteran
:16:43. > :16:49.sprinter champion on his 1929 600 cc Douglas motorcycle. It will do zero
:16:50. > :16:57.to 100 in around 11 seconds and can top 118 mph. The regular sprints at
:16:58. > :17:03.Westonzoyland aerodrome in Somerset are where Henry writes, and I'm
:17:04. > :17:10.going to get a chance to get alongside him. Petrol head heaven. A
:17:11. > :17:15.bit like Henry, I've been riding motorcycles since I was a kid.
:17:16. > :17:19.Thanks to my next-door neighbours I got my first one when I was ten.
:17:20. > :17:23.I've ridden most things from scramblers to scooters. I want to
:17:24. > :17:27.know what makes Henry such a speed Demon. He's been racing for 65 years
:17:28. > :17:33.and is legendary for being fastest out of the gate. When I was grass
:17:34. > :17:36.tracking I was always known to be the fastest Gator in the country.
:17:37. > :17:40.tracking I was always known to be Why was that? If I didn't get away
:17:41. > :17:46.in the lead I would get filled up with Mark and then I couldn't see.
:17:47. > :17:50.Artificial hip, pacemaker, one eye, one here, you are 81 years old and
:17:51. > :17:55.we are about to race down a quarter mile race track. Yeah. Despite his
:17:56. > :18:03.age and infirmity is Henry just keeps going on his handbuilt bike.
:18:04. > :18:11.I've wrote that one in 277 events. I've won 274 of them. I did have a
:18:12. > :18:15.vintage motorbike quite like Henry's home gym monster, so I'm
:18:16. > :18:22.borrowing a modern 600 cc bike from 13 times sprint champion Allington
:18:23. > :18:25.Ian. If I opened the throttle and went flat out, I would be in
:18:26. > :18:30.trouble, wouldn't I? You could be, quite easily. What would happen? You
:18:31. > :18:34.could stand on the back wheel, it could slide out of the side, induce
:18:35. > :18:39.a lot of wheel spin, that's what you don't want. What does the race
:18:40. > :18:43.organiser Dave Matson think will happen when I line up alongside
:18:44. > :18:48.Henry? When the light goes green, Henry will fire off and you will
:18:49. > :18:57.react at some point and chase after him. It won't be the other way
:18:58. > :19:03.round, will it? Unlikely. Henry is off like a rocket. He's left me
:19:04. > :19:07.standing. Even though I eventually catching, he still holds the crown
:19:08. > :19:13.for the speediest getaway. -- eventually catch him. He was
:19:14. > :19:19.definitely quicker off the start, was our Henry. Full respect because
:19:20. > :19:25.I tell you what, Henry was off like a bee-stung stallion. But what does
:19:26. > :19:31.the daddy of sprint racing finger of this new boy's starting technique?
:19:32. > :19:35.How do you think I did? Good. You had the right machine. Without a
:19:36. > :19:41.doubt, I had twice the power of that. Only nine years old and yours
:19:42. > :19:45.is 86 years old. I described you as a bee-stung stallion. Oh right. Do
:19:46. > :19:51.you think that is right? I've been called all sorts in my time. Will
:19:52. > :19:54.stop there. Fast is what I'd call him. Go, Henry, go.
:19:55. > :20:04.He doesn't look 81, does he? That was very impressive. You are a bit
:20:05. > :20:11.of a speed Demon, Vernon? How old, 81? That's nothing these days, it's
:20:12. > :20:15.the new 60. Good grief. Yeah, I do like fast cars. I've always been
:20:16. > :20:19.brought up around machinery, my dad was a lorry driver. I've got a
:20:20. > :20:25.little sports car myself that I've souped up, a bit more than 950 brake
:20:26. > :20:31.horsepower. Does it have a huge exhaust? Massive. Thanks for sending
:20:32. > :20:36.in your photos of things that have raised your heart rate this weekend.
:20:37. > :20:41.There we are, look. This one has come in from a running club. They've
:20:42. > :20:53.done a ten K obstacle race to get their hearts racing. This was at
:20:54. > :20:55.Abbey's birthday shower. Finbar's heart rate was raised by skiing in
:20:56. > :21:05.the Cairngorms for the first time this year. And this was a hen do on
:21:06. > :21:10.the summit of Ingleborough. How different her hen do was to yours.
:21:11. > :21:16.So different. None of them are dressed as Tina Turner. No. Outside
:21:17. > :21:19.tonight are hundreds of Strictly fans about to do the biggest
:21:20. > :21:30.performance we have ever done on the piazza. Before that, I have a family
:21:31. > :21:35.fortunes style question for you. We surveyed 100 people. We'd like you
:21:36. > :21:41.to name one of the habitat requirements for the UK's largest
:21:42. > :21:51.population of water voles. Water, a river, something like that? No! Mike
:21:52. > :21:54.has gone to Glasgow without wellies to find out.
:21:55. > :21:59.Crown Hill Park in the East End of Glasgow is not where you would
:22:00. > :22:09.expect to find an abundance of wild animals. I see Foxes and Seagulls.
:22:10. > :22:12.You park your car, ten minutes later, it is splattered. Alongside
:22:13. > :22:18.Seagulls, the communities thought they had another wild menace in the
:22:19. > :22:21.area. They were going to the council and complaining. As there were
:22:22. > :22:28.similar complaints the council came to investigate. What they discovered
:22:29. > :22:31.was not an infestation of rats but a population of rare water voles that
:22:32. > :22:37.have made this area of grassland their home. Water voles are in
:22:38. > :22:43.serious decline in the UK. They are usually found close to slow flowing
:22:44. > :22:47.rivers, canals, ditches and lakes. A far cry from this urban grassland
:22:48. > :22:51.with not a drop of water inside. With the full backing of the City
:22:52. > :22:53.Council, Robin Stewart from the University of Glasgow has been
:22:54. > :22:58.studying them for the past two years. Believe it or not the nearest
:22:59. > :23:02.watercourse is about three quarters of a mile from here. But you are
:23:03. > :23:07.finding the highest density of water voles ever recorded in the UK in
:23:08. > :23:11.this spot. Nobody knows how they got here. One theory is they were
:23:12. > :23:16.displaced from the nearby canal when the MH was built. Another, that they
:23:17. > :23:23.were always here, but nobody realised. Can you show me any signs?
:23:24. > :23:29.Think we've got some over here. Is a burrow, obviously. Yes, we also have
:23:30. > :23:34.this area here. Females are territorial, and they mark their
:23:35. > :23:38.territory with little piles of poop. They have sent glands on their side.
:23:39. > :23:43.And the other water voles know that is where they live, and to keep out.
:23:44. > :23:47.Robin believes there could be up to 150 of these water voles living in
:23:48. > :23:51.underground burrows in this area alone. And in order to monitor the
:23:52. > :23:57.health of the population she leaves out special traps. Right, so, here
:23:58. > :24:07.is a trap. We've got one. It is a little role. We have a vole. Due to
:24:08. > :24:11.their protected status a special licence is required to handle water
:24:12. > :24:16.voles. There we go. Beautiful animal. You can tell straightaway
:24:17. > :24:22.the important features, short tail, blunt nose, not along those like a
:24:23. > :24:26.rat, and tiny years. And a hairy tale as well, rats tend to have a
:24:27. > :24:28.pink tail. This is the first time I've ever seen water voles without
:24:29. > :24:35.wearing Wellington boots. It's bizarre. Robin ways, measures and
:24:36. > :24:43.microchips, this helps keep a record of their numbers. Voles spent a lot
:24:44. > :24:46.of time underground. To see how they live, a geophysicist has been called
:24:47. > :24:55.in, who uses electromagnetism waves to create subsurface mats. How big
:24:56. > :24:59.is this territory? This survey area was ten by 15 metres and we reckon
:25:00. > :25:04.the length of the borough system is 40 metres. The maps show that the
:25:05. > :25:10.diameter of the burrows can double in size from seven centimetres to
:25:11. > :25:13.around 15. It also reveals the burrows varying depths, and the
:25:14. > :25:17.results are certainly exciting Robin. This is absolutely amazing.
:25:18. > :25:20.It is the first time this has been done. You can see these
:25:21. > :25:24.intersections where different boroughs are meeting each other. You
:25:25. > :25:28.have one that goes 40 to 50 centimetres, and something like that
:25:29. > :25:32.is probably a nest chamber. The information Robin is obtaining is
:25:33. > :25:37.crucial to protect water voles from regeneration. But key to their
:25:38. > :25:41.survival is support from the residents. Who'd have thought a
:25:42. > :25:48.population of water voles would crop up in Glasgow's East End so far from
:25:49. > :25:50.water? Hopefully thanks to this research work and support from the
:25:51. > :25:55.local community they will continue to thrive.
:25:56. > :26:08.Here we are not piazza, surrounded by thousands of Strictly fans who
:26:09. > :26:12.are about to do the Strictly, led by Natalie. You were here a couple of
:26:13. > :26:17.weeks ago, remind us what this is about. It has gone crazy. We put a
:26:18. > :26:22.Strictly dance together to the theme chin because we wanted everybody to
:26:23. > :26:25.be part of Strictly this year, there is so much hype around it and we
:26:26. > :26:30.wanted everybody to get involved. And the moves, you had the Russell
:26:31. > :26:33.Grant? The Russell Grant, the Judy Murray, iconic moves from the show
:26:34. > :26:38.people must have seen in the past. To bring that to the world and the
:26:39. > :26:44.country and to Vernon. We won't put you on the spot, Vernon. It has been
:26:45. > :26:51.amazing, the tutorial alone has had 800,000 hits. 20 million people on
:26:52. > :26:56.social media have seen it. These guys, 400 people behind us. So many
:26:57. > :27:01.people have been involved, Milton Keynes Dons but, businesses across
:27:02. > :27:10.the country. Fantastic. Well, we are about to see it. And your partner is
:27:11. > :27:14.getting involved? Yes, and we are doing the Christmas special this
:27:15. > :27:19.year, so watch out for Cassidy on Christmas Day. This is a nice warm
:27:20. > :27:24.up for you. Which dance are you doing? I think I am allowed to say I
:27:25. > :27:26.am doing a jive. Thanks to everybody that has turned up, you will be
:27:27. > :27:30.dancing any second now. Now, if what you're
:27:31. > :27:33.about to see inspires you to do the Strictly, go to our website,
:27:34. > :27:36.where you'll find the links. The new series
:27:37. > :27:40.of Vernon's show 1000 Heartbeats We'll both be back tomorrow
:27:41. > :27:45.with Eddie Izzard. But now, here's all the Strictly
:27:46. > :27:48.fans doing the Strictly.
