:00:30. > :01:01.Is that the most beautiful start we have ever had? Hello and welcome to
:01:02. > :01:07.prog-macro with Alex Jones. And Matt Baker. We just saw the incredible
:01:08. > :01:12.shadow dances Attraction, and we will have a live performance from
:01:13. > :01:21.them later on. We will also find out why our friend Andy Torbet has been
:01:22. > :01:25.doing this. Andy has been throwing himself out of a plane at 15,000
:01:26. > :01:32.feet and plummeting to the ground. It is all in an attempt to beat the
:01:33. > :01:37.fastest animal on the planet. Will he do it? From one Flying Scotsman
:01:38. > :01:43.to another. The world's most famous train is back on track. We will be
:01:44. > :01:48.seeing the restored Flying Scotsman in all its glory shortly. We have
:01:49. > :01:54.got flying presenters, the Flying Scotsman and our guests tonight are
:01:55. > :01:56.causing the arrows to fly every Sunday on Let's Play Darts For Sport
:01:57. > :02:03.Relief. Shall we give them the proper darts welcome? Yes. Here is
:02:04. > :02:09.Little Richard. This darts player is a proper Bobby Dazzler, a multiple
:02:10. > :02:14.tournament winner and one of the most popular pros ever to play the
:02:15. > :02:20.game. Darting royalty, Bobby "King of Bling" George!
:02:21. > :02:41.MUSIC: WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS BY QUEEN Our next player knows how to get 8
:02:42. > :02:45.Out Of 10 Cats, but can he get three out of three darts on the board? It
:02:46. > :02:46.is Jon "The Lancashire Hot Shot" Richardson!
:02:47. > :03:07.MUSIC: BIG BAD JOHN BY JIMMY DEAN Good to see you, my friends, have a
:03:08. > :03:14.seat. Bobby, I have to say, that code is right up my street. It is
:03:15. > :03:18.quite Shirley Bassey. What is the story behind it? I got it made in
:03:19. > :03:23.India. I saw it in a glass case and I said, I want one of them. You
:03:24. > :03:30.looked like a ruler or raking with it. So I waited five weeks for them
:03:31. > :03:33.to make it and they sent it to me. I thought one arm was going to be
:03:34. > :03:40.shorter than the other. It didn't come out perfect. Very nice. Bobby
:03:41. > :03:49."King of Bling" George, is that your... Nice jumper, Jon. Reed
:03:50. > :03:53.ridiculous! From Bobby "King of Bling" George to our call out
:03:54. > :04:00.tonight. If you have a great sporting nickname, tell us about it.
:04:01. > :04:05.Here is a photo we couldn't wait to show you. Yesterday, we told you the
:04:06. > :04:09.story of Monty Short from Leicester who was searching high and low for
:04:10. > :04:14.her beloved Yorkshire terrier who was slowly earlier this month.
:04:15. > :04:17.Following our appeal, somebody call the police to say that a dog they
:04:18. > :04:25.recently bought strongly resembled that one. Today, police confirmed it
:04:26. > :04:29.was indeed Gog and she was immediately returned to a delighted
:04:30. > :04:37.mum. The power of television! Happy times ahead. Very sweet. This week,
:04:38. > :04:43.a study into obesity is found shot in just 5% of your body weight can
:04:44. > :04:48.have a huge effect on your health. If you are looking for motivation,
:04:49. > :04:49.how about the only football league in Britain where losing is the
:04:50. > :05:01.ultimate goal? Tonight promises to be a heavyweight
:05:02. > :05:09.clash here, where dyslexia and tied take on their opponents. Top striker
:05:10. > :05:17.Andy Alsop says he will ring -- run rings around the opposition. I will
:05:18. > :05:21.score a hat-trick. The captain is confident his side will put on a
:05:22. > :05:27.belly busting performance. We will lose more weight. You haven't got a
:05:28. > :05:32.chance. This isn't a normal matchup. These guys are part of a unique
:05:33. > :05:37.weight loss programme targeted specifically at men. Come on! In
:05:38. > :05:42.Solihull, 80 men with a body mass index of more than 30 have signed on
:05:43. > :05:47.to play in this football competition designed to help them lose weight.
:05:48. > :05:55.Recent figures show that over 66% of men in the UK are classed as obese
:05:56. > :06:00.or overweight. Paramedic Andy Alsop is currently 23.5 stone. In the
:06:01. > :06:04.past, when he signed up for weight loss programmes, he was the only man
:06:05. > :06:10.among mainly women and he failed to shed the plans -- he failed to shed
:06:11. > :06:14.the pounds. What makes this different? Men inspire men. You get
:06:15. > :06:21.so much more enjoyment with people who are in the same boat. His wife,
:06:22. > :06:26.Cathy, recently gave birth to their first child, Harry, which had a big
:06:27. > :06:32.impact on Andy's motivation. He will be want -- wanting to be running
:06:33. > :06:36.around and playing football. I want to be around for as long as possible
:06:37. > :06:44.to look after this one. It is time now to pull my finger out. Down the
:06:45. > :06:50.road in King sees, 21.5 stone Mark is keen to turn his lifestyle
:06:51. > :06:54.around. He is tired of people reading him about his weight. If you
:06:55. > :06:59.go out to eat, other people are looking at what you are eating. They
:07:00. > :07:05.maybe do it as a joke but it is a problem. How will your personality
:07:06. > :07:09.changed if you lose the weight? It will get me back to the kind of
:07:10. > :07:15.person that I know. I like to socialise, so maybe I will not be so
:07:16. > :07:19.withdrawn. Mark as a five-year-old called Stephan. With another on the
:07:20. > :07:25.way, like Andy, he is determined to lose the weight for them. Tonight,
:07:26. > :07:29.Mark's team will take on Andy's in their third game of the season. Is
:07:30. > :07:35.it important to have support from other guys in the same situation?
:07:36. > :07:39.This scheme is great because we are all looking out for each other. It
:07:40. > :07:43.is the social aspect as well. You don't want to come here and put on
:07:44. > :07:48.weight because you think you have left the team down. Isn't nice to be
:07:49. > :07:53.an all-male group. The banter is different. The teams are chomping at
:07:54. > :08:02.the bit. Time for kick-off. Maybe best team win. -- made the best team
:08:03. > :08:06.win. Solihull council are trying a number of male targeted weight loss
:08:07. > :08:12.schemes over the next two years at a cost of over ?100,000. This football
:08:13. > :08:17.league lasts 14 weeks with eight teams of ten playing for 30 minutes
:08:18. > :08:21.every Monday night. Public Health England and Martin Todd from the
:08:22. > :08:25.men's health Forum are calling on all local councils to recognise the
:08:26. > :08:30.need for weight loss programmes aimed at men. The figures are clear.
:08:31. > :08:34.Even though men suffer more from the bad consequences of being overweight
:08:35. > :08:40.and women, the programmes that are in place are reaching out to them
:08:41. > :08:45.less effectively. Mark's team have won the match 1-0 but there is more
:08:46. > :08:49.scoring to come. Over to the scales. For every two players that lose
:08:50. > :08:55.weight, their team get an extra goal on top of the result. Good luck. So,
:08:56. > :09:01.with a one goal margin, there is all to play for. After three weeks of
:09:02. > :09:05.playing, Andy and Mark have both scored, with Andy losing nearly a
:09:06. > :09:10.stone and Mark shedding half a stone. Tonight, mark's team are the
:09:11. > :09:18.winners with a combined weight loss of nearly five stone.
:09:19. > :09:22.The founder and poster boy, Andrew Shanahan, is in the studio. Let's
:09:23. > :09:28.have a look at a photo of him. This is a couple of years ago. Here is
:09:29. > :09:37.Andrew in the studio now. Andrew! What a difference! When you see a
:09:38. > :09:41.photo like that, how does it feel? Fantastic. What I want to do is to
:09:42. > :09:45.help other guys to do the same thing, to move from a BMI of 30,
:09:46. > :09:50.obese, back to healthy and get happier. Obviously more people
:09:51. > :09:55.across the country as well, which is the ultimate goal for this. Yes,
:09:56. > :10:01.this started in Solihull and we are looking to branch out all over the
:10:02. > :10:05.country and beyond. Good luck. How does the run-up to the match
:10:06. > :10:10.hang-out? Are you all on the same diet? We get given a programme at
:10:11. > :10:17.the start of the course to follow. We get dieticians and forums on the
:10:18. > :10:20.website. We are all sort of following our own and what works for
:10:21. > :10:27.us. Over 90% of the guys losing weight and it is clearly that you
:10:28. > :10:33.adapt it to your needs. The match at the end of the week, have you
:10:34. > :10:39.noticed a difference in your fitness level, Mark? We have gone from guys
:10:40. > :10:43.crawling off the pitch. Now, we are having to drag people off. In all
:10:44. > :10:49.seriousness, conditions like sleep apnoea, clothes getting better,
:10:50. > :10:54.everybody is noticing it. You can feel the excitement around you. We
:10:55. > :10:58.have got a result for you. We have totalled up the amount you have lost
:10:59. > :11:07.in the last six weeks. We are going to do it in sporting fashion. Little
:11:08. > :11:21.Richard... The total now lost is 13 stone and five pounds! Fantastic!
:11:22. > :11:25.What about that?! That is like one Matt Baker, can you believe it? Nick
:11:26. > :11:30.Wallis is here now with more on a story which got a huge reaction from
:11:31. > :11:38.prog-macro viewers. It was the second week in January. Remind us.
:11:39. > :11:42.What did you find out? It was hospital parking, specifically the
:11:43. > :11:46.lack of it for carers. We have since discovered this is a much bigger
:11:47. > :11:51.issue from the response we got from viewers of the one show. During the
:11:52. > :11:54.investigation, we said that the health authorities in Northern
:11:55. > :11:57.Ireland, Scotland and Wales didn't charge for carers to park at their
:11:58. > :12:03.car parks. This has been blown out of the water in the response we get,
:12:04. > :12:08.who said, I am sorry, that isn't my experience. To give you one example,
:12:09. > :12:12.Grace got in touch to say her daughter was having a baby at the
:12:13. > :12:16.maternity unit at her local hospital in Edinburgh. Not only was her
:12:17. > :12:19.daughter's husband charged for parking there but, when they
:12:20. > :12:25.overstate, because the baby was late, they got a fine. Watts what is
:12:26. > :12:32.going on? We went back to the NHS and said, what is going on? They
:12:33. > :12:35.said, most people who do visit car parks don't pay if it is an NHS car
:12:36. > :12:42.park but, if the car park is operated privately, people will pay,
:12:43. > :12:45.or if the hospital was built under the PFI initiative, under the
:12:46. > :12:51.current contract, people will pay for parking. PFI hospitals tend to
:12:52. > :12:56.be larger, so more people have an experience of paying for parking. In
:12:57. > :13:01.England, there are guidelines, which are voluntary. My question is, why
:13:02. > :13:08.are they voluntary and why doesn't every car park adhere to the same
:13:09. > :13:11.guidelines? You are right, they are guidelines and there is no penalty
:13:12. > :13:15.for noncompliance. Have a look at this graphic, which we put together
:13:16. > :13:21.using information from viewers after our last broadcast. If you know
:13:22. > :13:25.better, get in touch. Look at the differentials in rates between
:13:26. > :13:30.parking around the country. Chelsea and Westminster will charge you ?40
:13:31. > :13:38.if you keep your car in for ten hours. The disparity is just... It
:13:39. > :13:42.is hard to take it in, but it is all there. The temptation would be to
:13:43. > :13:47.say, why don't we clear it all down and make it free so there would not
:13:48. > :13:50.be a postcode lottery? The argument is that the car parks have to be
:13:51. > :13:54.maintained and they maintained by parking fees. If you get rid of
:13:55. > :13:58.them, you have to make a decision about putting money into car park
:13:59. > :14:02.maintenance which could go into life-saving operations, which is a
:14:03. > :14:06.tough decision. The government think that should be down to local trusts
:14:07. > :14:14.to make the best decisions which suit their sites. Now for an epic
:14:15. > :14:18.battle of the skies. In one corner, a sleek, powerful, skilled hunter
:14:19. > :14:27.who can swoop faster than anything on earth. In the other, a bloke
:14:28. > :14:31.called Andy. Over the last few years I've clocked up nearly 300
:14:32. > :14:37.skydivers. The fastest I've ever been free falling to Earth is over
:14:38. > :14:46.150 mph. But now I'm preparing for my biggest challenge yet.
:14:47. > :14:54.The peregrine falcon in hunting mode is one of the more formidable sites
:14:55. > :14:58.in our skies. The can reach speeds of more than 200 mph, making them
:14:59. > :15:02.the fastest animal on the planet. And I want to see if I can go as
:15:03. > :15:10.fast as this bird of prey in the sky. The Falcon's incredible speed
:15:11. > :15:15.is its primary weapon to catch prey. It can reach top velocity went
:15:16. > :15:20.plummeting from the sky in a near vertical dive called a steep. But to
:15:21. > :15:26.reach these speeds safely, it has some amazing adaptations. It has
:15:27. > :15:29.little cones of bone in its nostril, and it's believed that slows down
:15:30. > :15:37.the FO to prevent its lungs from bursting. It has a third eyelid that
:15:38. > :15:41.comes down to protect and moist in the eye in flight. It's see-through,
:15:42. > :15:49.so they don't lose vision at 200 mph. To protect myself, I will have
:15:50. > :15:53.a full face mask and helmet. The Falcon also has a powerful and
:15:54. > :15:56.teardrop shaped body and wings they can wrap around themselves to give
:15:57. > :16:02.them the ability to move rapidly through the air. At the moment I'm
:16:03. > :16:06.50 mph short, so I need to adapt I skydiving position to go faster. To
:16:07. > :16:16.make myself more aerodynamic I'm going to need some help. This Doctor
:16:17. > :16:20.is a lecturer of Aeronautics and advanced propulsion. Also a winged
:16:21. > :16:25.suit base jumper, leading the research in the UK in that area.
:16:26. > :16:29.What we need to do is look at the way we can make you more like that
:16:30. > :16:33.bird. We need to focus on how the airflow moves around your body, and
:16:34. > :16:38.therefore try to maximise your aerodynamic efficiency and velocity
:16:39. > :16:43.so we can try to achieve speeds in excess of 200 mph in a head down
:16:44. > :16:50.dive. I've been attached to a specially adapted chest rig in the
:16:51. > :16:55.wind tunnel allowing him to analyse the airflow in a range of body
:16:56. > :16:57.positions. We are now at 30 metres per second. Going to the body
:16:58. > :17:09.position. With wind speeds up to 70 mph, he
:17:10. > :17:13.can test exactly how much drag I'm producing. Using smoke and tassles
:17:14. > :17:19.it allows him to visualise how BM moves around my body, aching small
:17:20. > :17:24.but adjustments to increase my potential speed. -- how BM moves. A
:17:25. > :17:31.more downward looking position was better. -- how the air moves. Keep
:17:32. > :17:36.the shoulders in and legs close together. After 30 minutes of
:17:37. > :17:43.testing, Angeloni calculates my terminal velocity. We predict that
:17:44. > :17:48.based on the configurations you are in, you would hit a top speed of
:17:49. > :17:56.just under 190 mph. How does that sound? Doesn't sound good, actually.
:17:57. > :18:00.Puts me ten mph short of the magic 200. It might be short, but the
:18:01. > :18:05.thing to factor in is that this test was conducted at sea level
:18:06. > :18:09.conditions. When you jump at 15,000 feet the atmosphere will be more
:18:10. > :18:15.thin, so the air density will be lower. Because of the thinner air I
:18:16. > :18:20.should be able to go 20 or 30 mph quicker. It's time to put what I
:18:21. > :18:24.learned in the wind tunnel into practice. But getting the correct
:18:25. > :18:27.position in a controlled environment is one thing. It will be totally
:18:28. > :18:39.different up here because there is so much more to think about.
:18:40. > :18:44.On my first attempt, the techniques I've learned in the wind tunnel go
:18:45. > :18:55.completely out of the window and I do make a big mistake. Doesn't sound
:18:56. > :18:58.great, out of the aeroplane and making a huge mistake. Thank
:18:59. > :19:01.goodness it's a two Pata! We'll see if Andy beats
:19:02. > :19:03.the record later. Bobby, this is your second year
:19:04. > :19:15.of Let's Play Darts Jon, were you up for this? I was
:19:16. > :19:19.well up for it. If you're in a plane, and then you out of it,
:19:20. > :19:28.you've already made your mistake! I was well up for it. How do this lot
:19:29. > :19:32.compare to the last lot last year? They are all really competitive and
:19:33. > :19:37.really up for it. We have Greg Davies, Robbie Savage. I don't know
:19:38. > :19:42.how he got that name is about boy. He's such a gentle soul. I hope you
:19:43. > :19:48.are watching. He might beat me up next time he sees me. Let's talk
:19:49. > :19:53.about Jon's darts pedigree. Did you play a lot when you were young? I
:19:54. > :19:58.turned pro briefly between the ages of six and seven. But then the
:19:59. > :20:04.comedy took over. Did you have the Velcro board? Yeah, with the plastic
:20:05. > :20:11.tips. And I had proper board from when I was a big boy a couple of
:20:12. > :20:15.years ago. Getting that darts board in a garage and practising, that's
:20:16. > :20:18.what you should do, but has that been your world for the last couple
:20:19. > :20:22.of weeks? It would have been, but you've got too much work going on.
:20:23. > :20:27.You have to be in a position to clear your diary. I did a bit of
:20:28. > :20:32.practice. The more you take it seriously, the more disappointed you
:20:33. > :20:37.will be when, in my experience, your hopes are crushed. The thing to do
:20:38. > :20:45.is be relaxed and not have any dreams, and that's great advice for
:20:46. > :20:49.life. He did get nervous. I'm sure. He tells jokes in front of small
:20:50. > :20:54.audiences, and he doesn't get nervous, but he says when he plays
:20:55. > :20:58.darts gets very nervous. That's because you don't see the audience,
:20:59. > :21:02.what just play the dartboard in front of you. You must have got
:21:03. > :21:07.nervous back in the day. I'm nervous tonight. The more times you do it
:21:08. > :21:10.Romeu get used to it and you don't get nervous. The tournaments, the
:21:11. > :21:15.first round you might get butterflies, but when you start
:21:16. > :21:20.playing they go. You get used to doing it after so many years and you
:21:21. > :21:26.don't get nervous. Funny you telling me I was nervous because I face the
:21:27. > :21:29.audience usually, and I have my back to them that darts, but I seem to
:21:30. > :21:34.remember you said it was because I hadn't had enough to drink. You were
:21:35. > :21:42.nervous because you hadn't brought me a drink! Here's Jon at the end of
:21:43. > :21:46.the oche. Another thing I quite like about John, he likes to set himself
:21:47. > :21:51.goals while playing darts at home. Such as, I won't let myself go to
:21:52. > :21:58.the toilet until I hit treble 20. That's the reason I never played
:21:59. > :22:04.darts with Jon Richardson. APPLAUSE STUDIO: You use to play with your
:22:05. > :22:08.dad when you were younger, so you saw him do it and you use to have
:22:09. > :22:14.competitions. Yet, but we didn't used to film it. Great to see the
:22:15. > :22:17.first bit of footage ready camera has to zoom out to see where the
:22:18. > :22:23.dart went. A unique piece of humiliation. My dad was a very good
:22:24. > :22:27.player, and he had a rule where he wouldn't let me win, so if I beat
:22:28. > :22:36.him I would know I earned it. Did you beat him? No. Took a gamble on
:22:37. > :22:44.myself the steam, that I might never win. -- on myself a steam. I picked
:22:45. > :22:48.a set of darts up, didn't turn professional until the age of 30,
:22:49. > :22:52.and I went fishing to Ireland. Couldn't go fishing because the
:22:53. > :23:01.water was all rocky. Started playing in the pub with this blog. He asked
:23:02. > :23:05.me, how come you keep doing that? I said, what, and he said keep hitting
:23:06. > :23:10.the bull's-eye! He pushed me to play darts and I haven't looked back.
:23:11. > :23:18.Everybody has got some sort of talent, it's just finding it. Isn't
:23:19. > :23:25.it, Jon? I hope so! LAUGHTER APPLAUSE
:23:26. > :23:37.I tell you what, we are going to have a game of darts later. The
:23:38. > :23:40.three amateurs will throw and see how we do.
:23:41. > :23:42.The amatuers, myself, Matt and Jon - versus a blindfolded Bobby.
:23:43. > :23:49.Ring it's bad enough being able to see a dartboard, we'll see how I on
:23:50. > :23:50.later. One thing you need to be a great
:23:51. > :23:53.darts player is an aptitude for mental arithmetic -
:23:54. > :23:56.and having a great maths teacher So Iwan went to meet the British
:23:57. > :24:00.teacher who has just been nominated as one of the best in the world
:24:01. > :24:09.to get some extra lessons. When I was at school I was way more
:24:10. > :24:13.interested in track and field than trigonometry and fractions.
:24:14. > :24:18.Everybody thinks their teacher is the best or worst. Today I'm eating
:24:19. > :24:21.a teacher called Colin Hegarty, or Sir, as I should call him, who is
:24:22. > :24:26.really regarded as one of the best in the world. He's made the short
:24:27. > :24:31.list of a global teacher prize. It's kind of like the Nobel Prize, but
:24:32. > :24:35.for teachers. You're like the Justin Bieber of the maths world. You had
:24:36. > :24:39.more than 5.5 million hits on your YouTube videos on how to teach
:24:40. > :24:42.people maths, so you must be doing something right. Videos are useful
:24:43. > :24:47.for students who want to learn at home. It's great support for them.
:24:48. > :24:51.What I like about meeting you, you are passionate, but your classroom
:24:52. > :24:59.simplifies it and you have inspirational people on the wall. I
:25:00. > :25:01.always start lessons, before we talk about maths, we talk about
:25:02. > :25:04.confidence. Confidence is crucial for anything. If you don't believe
:25:05. > :25:09.you can do something you will stop trying to do it. Maths wasn't my
:25:10. > :25:14.favourite subject at school. It killed my family when I failed first
:25:15. > :25:17.time with a day because my mum was a maths teacher. No matter how
:25:18. > :25:22.difficult you think subbing is, you got to believe and you have to have
:25:23. > :25:28.that first belief it's worth trying. Would you know how to work out three
:25:29. > :25:35.fifths of a number? It's 27, so what's the number? I would say 27
:25:36. > :25:44.divided by three. Nine. Under pressure now. We want to divide it
:25:45. > :25:54.into five. Three of those is 27. One fifth is nine. Exactly, so how much
:25:55. > :25:59.is the whole number? Five nines, 45. I get a gold badge! Colin believes
:26:00. > :26:03.that maths makes you more employable, gets you better wages
:26:04. > :26:07.and keeps your mind agile. It's relevant everyone and everything,
:26:08. > :26:10.and not just in the classroom. At a restaurant with your friends when
:26:11. > :26:16.you are splitting the bill, the best way to do it is roughly do it in
:26:17. > :26:20.your head, that's the kind of things you need maths for, quick cents
:26:21. > :26:24.check decision is to inform everyday life. Does your brain work
:26:25. > :26:28.differently, do you see numbers everywhere? Sometimes the structure
:26:29. > :26:32.of something, like the playground features there, built in and
:26:33. > :26:38.elliptical shape, and that's because it's a strong shape to hold subbing
:26:39. > :26:42.up. You are an engineer as well? Maths is the mother of all is I
:26:43. > :26:47.insist, the language of computing and engineering and everything. I
:26:48. > :26:51.wouldn't look at it like that. I think we are slightly different. If
:26:52. > :26:55.I run an average of 18 mph, and I do 400 metres in 44 seconds, and you
:26:56. > :27:02.take a minute and a half... What is your fraction? I'd like to break 60
:27:03. > :27:05.seconds! Race Kuster I never thought I would ever say this. I've fallen
:27:06. > :27:20.in love with maths. -- race? Not fractions. Remember those? It
:27:21. > :27:23.was quite intimidating sitting and watching that because our guests
:27:24. > :27:38.were doing the sums all the way through.
:27:39. > :27:45.Bobby has gone into a few schools to try to teach them. If you can't
:27:46. > :27:49.enjoy it, there's no point. If you know what Shanghai is on a
:27:50. > :27:54.dartboard, single, treble, double, so if you have single one, treble
:27:55. > :28:04.one, 11, that would be sex. Then onto the twos -- that would be six.
:28:05. > :28:13.Then moving on, it's just your six times table. So they can play the
:28:14. > :28:22.game of darts... They can do their seven times table, two trebles and a
:28:23. > :28:26.single. Seven, 14, 21 and so on. I teach them the easy way, the
:28:27. > :28:30.beginning of maths. It's like telling the time. That's the hardest
:28:31. > :28:39.thing you can learn when you are a kid, telling the time. Especially
:28:40. > :28:47.American, like ten. 45... Quarter to ten? It's different. Time is maths,
:28:48. > :28:55.getting to work at nine o'clock, if you're not there you don't get paid.
:28:56. > :29:01.Unless you work on the one show and then it is PM. Get on maths, and get
:29:02. > :29:10.them grasping it and then they get interested. The caller was a young
:29:11. > :29:17.boy who came to me. Now he does it for a living. On eight out of ten
:29:18. > :29:21.Cats does countdown, I'm always impressed with Jon, that bit where
:29:22. > :29:26.you pick the numbers and Rachel presses the button, you're pretty
:29:27. > :29:35.good at that. How would you rate your maths? We edit that, I actually
:29:36. > :29:38.get three hours to do it. But I do like maths, did it at A-level and
:29:39. > :29:42.enjoyed it. One of the few things you do in life when you know when
:29:43. > :29:48.you are right or wrong. I did Spanish and French and it was all
:29:49. > :29:52.opinions and things, relationships are complex, and sometimes it's nice
:29:53. > :30:01.to say, it's exactly 17, well done, clever boy. Perfect sense. We were
:30:02. > :30:07.talking about your lovely coat early on, Bobby, a bobby-dazzler of a
:30:08. > :30:12.coat, and you say you spotted it in India. It was part of the The Real
:30:13. > :30:13.Marigold Hotel. A great documentary. Let's remind ourselves of your time
:30:14. > :30:28.out there. Can you see the cows? Amazing. How
:30:29. > :30:34.have you been coping without me? Taking your tablets? Yes. Bobby and
:30:35. > :30:40.Marie are staying on in India to look at property. I can't believe I
:30:41. > :30:49.am here. Are you going to miss it? I will eclipse, yeah. You stayed on,
:30:50. > :30:55.it then? I stayed for ten days afterwards. I was there for over a
:30:56. > :31:00.month. I really enjoyed it. Was the plan... I looked for property but I
:31:01. > :31:05.found that you can't buy hoppity in India. You have have an Indian on
:31:06. > :31:10.your deeds. -- you have to buy property. We are captain of our
:31:11. > :31:16.ownership in this country. But you can rent a place quite reasonably so
:31:17. > :31:21.you could live there on a pension. You can't live the style, if you
:31:22. > :31:28.want to live high style, if you like. You could live like the
:31:29. > :31:34.Indians on ?20 a month, probably. Normal living, 150, ?200 a month,
:31:35. > :31:38.you could do it. A lovely country. Honestly, don't ever run this
:31:39. > :31:43.country down. You go to India and the poor are poor. The rich are
:31:44. > :31:47.rich. There is nothing in between. And the animals are marvellous.
:31:48. > :31:52.There are no rubbish men. They dump their rubbish on the corner every
:31:53. > :31:57.morning. Out come the cows, they learn to open plastic bags and take
:31:58. > :32:05.what they want. Then can be pigs, then the wild dogs, then the kids
:32:06. > :32:12.take the plastic and begins out. By 11:30am, because all gone! They
:32:13. > :32:16.don't waste anything. Use throw it away, somebody will make something
:32:17. > :32:20.of it. And it doesn't smell, don't believe that India smells. I was
:32:21. > :32:29.there for over a month and it's not normal to me. You have to go there.
:32:30. > :32:36.Best it smelt normal to me. If you missed it, The Real Marigold Hotel
:32:37. > :32:40.is still available to look at on the eye player. Tomorrow sees the
:32:41. > :32:44.official return to the rails of one of the most legendary trains ever.
:32:45. > :32:52.In its heyday, the Flying Scotsman... It has been a difficult
:32:53. > :32:57.route back from neglect, but now Joe Crowley is pleased to report that
:32:58. > :33:02.the Scotsman is back in business. The Flying Scotsman, simple words
:33:03. > :33:06.that, for so many people, evoke the romance of rail from the steam age.
:33:07. > :33:12.This mighty engine was once the epitome of British engineering
:33:13. > :33:17.excellence. During the 1920s and 30s, locomotive for 472 became a
:33:18. > :33:22.pin-up of the steam age was given the name Flying Scotsman after the
:33:23. > :33:26.service it ran between London and Edinburgh. This engine became both
:33:27. > :33:34.the first run the route nonstop and the first to officially get 100 mph.
:33:35. > :33:39.After 40 years up and down the coast mainline, the Flying Scotsman came
:33:40. > :33:43.out of regular service in 1963. Since then, the locomotive has
:33:44. > :33:47.travelled the world and it has had a number of owners. Skip forward to
:33:48. > :33:51.2004 and at the National Railway Museum in York they had a campaign
:33:52. > :33:57.to restore it to its former glory. Now, after a decade of work, this
:33:58. > :34:03.powerful locomotive is ready to roll back the years and returned to
:34:04. > :34:07.Britain's mainlines. This man has worked on the locomotive's
:34:08. > :34:13.restoration. Ten years, millions of pounds, what have you done to it? We
:34:14. > :34:16.have done major jobs, including renewing the complete front end of
:34:17. > :34:22.the engine. We have done work on the wheels, the ball has been
:34:23. > :34:29.overhauled. -- the boiler. What is captured your engineering -- your
:34:30. > :34:33.imagination? To be involved in something going along at 75 mph,
:34:34. > :34:40.that is incredible with a steam engine. Can it still claim to be the
:34:41. > :34:45.Flying Scotsman? The main part of the engine, the frames, is the part
:34:46. > :34:49.which keeps the loco's identity. So it is still the Flying Scotsman.
:34:50. > :34:53.Lots of people don't see the behind-the-scenes things which
:34:54. > :34:58.happen with these. A lot of hard graft has gone on to getting this
:34:59. > :35:02.thing ready. Even now, we are up at daft o'clock in the morning to get
:35:03. > :35:08.it ready, to light the fire, to scrape the ash out from underneath.
:35:09. > :35:11.It is a filthy job. Tomorrow, the Flying Scotsman will return to the
:35:12. > :35:18.and run a one-off service from London to York. Ron Kennedy worked
:35:19. > :35:23.on the railways for nearly 50 years. Ron, you have done every job there
:35:24. > :35:28.is going, right? Yes, I started off as a cleaner then I went on to a
:35:29. > :35:37.fireman and then I drove it. We knew it as 60,000 103. Was it just a job,
:35:38. > :35:43.you were busy, or did you enjoy it and realise how special it was? I
:35:44. > :35:48.enjoyed it, all the enthusiasm used to come up. People would take it off
:35:49. > :35:55.in their books. Are you surprised by the interest still shown in it? No,
:35:56. > :36:00.I'm pleased because it is our history. Do you remember that engine
:36:01. > :36:06.in particular and have affection for it? Yes, especially when it was nice
:36:07. > :36:11.and clean. When you were a fireman, how hard was that? On a run to
:36:12. > :36:17.Newcastle, you could shuffle from between six tonnes to eight tonnes
:36:18. > :36:26.of coal and use a hell of a lot of water. Thirsty work! Tomorrow, when
:36:27. > :36:30.you have a chance to write on that train, to be part of the Flying
:36:31. > :36:36.Scotsman again, what will it be like? It will be fantastic, a dream
:36:37. > :36:45.come true. I will be going back again on a steam engine and I write
:36:46. > :36:49.to York. -- on a right to York. To catch them read born Flying Scotsman
:36:50. > :36:54.on its first journey tomorrow, here is where it is due to go. It leaves
:36:55. > :36:59.tin crossed -- King's Cross at 10:30am before arriving in York at
:37:00. > :37:03.lunchtime. The public can have a look at it at the National Railway
:37:04. > :37:09.Museum later on. Remember, stay behind the barriers, not on the
:37:10. > :37:18.tracks. Good advice. It is time for the darts match of the century. It
:37:19. > :37:24.is between a blindfolded, yes, blindfolded Bobby George, myself,
:37:25. > :37:28.Alex and Jon. Basically, we have three darts each and the highest
:37:29. > :37:34.total wins. It is over to the voice of the darts, Little Richard! It is
:37:35. > :37:51.time for our darts challenge here on The One Show. First up to the oche
:37:52. > :37:59.is Alex "The Arrow" Jones! How do you warm up for darts? I don't know.
:38:00. > :38:15.It is Alex to throw first. Game on. I am nervous. Come on. 24 is your
:38:16. > :38:36.total. Next up to the oche is Matt "Bullseye" Baker! Isn't it weird! 24
:38:37. > :38:44.is the score to beat. Hang on, let me concentrate. 20. In the lead by a
:38:45. > :38:56.point, it is Alex. Our third player to the board is the Lancashire
:38:57. > :39:15.hotshot, Jon Richardson! A bit high, this board. Five, one, and five. Our
:39:16. > :39:24.final player is Bobby "King of Bling" George! You have one shot to
:39:25. > :39:31.get your eye in and then we are going to blindfold you. I will be
:39:32. > :39:41.glad to hit the board! I don't have to move. You just want to go for it
:39:42. > :39:53.now? What is the score to beat? It is yours, Alex, 24.
:39:54. > :40:18.The winner is Bobby "King of Bling" George! Look what he has won! Bobby,
:40:19. > :40:25.you have won a speedboat. Brilliant. You have got to love that. You can
:40:26. > :40:30.see the next round of Let's Play Darts For Sport Relief this Sunday
:40:31. > :40:34.at 9pm on BBC Two. Now, when we last saw Andy, he was plummeting towards
:40:35. > :40:39.the ground while telling us he had made a huge mistake. Is the attempt
:40:40. > :40:44.to go faster than the fastest animal on the planet doomed?
:40:45. > :40:51.I am going to see if I can go as fast as a peregrine falcon. When
:40:52. > :40:55.chasing prey, they can reach over 200 mph. The maximum speed I have
:40:56. > :41:02.never reached while skydiving is just over 150. I have been to a wind
:41:03. > :41:06.tunnel to work out how to be more aerodynamic and now I have tried to
:41:07. > :41:10.put everything into practice, but my first attempt has proven to be more
:41:11. > :41:15.challenging than I thought. It didn't go quite to plan. The problem
:41:16. > :41:18.is that it is really unstable. You need your legs out quite far and
:41:19. > :41:24.your arms out quite far to get stability. I tried to do it like in
:41:25. > :41:30.a wind tunnel, but it is like trying to balance a pencil on its tip. You
:41:31. > :41:33.want to fall over all the time. When skydiving, I have a device attached
:41:34. > :41:41.which measures my velocity and altitude showing the speed of my
:41:42. > :41:46.descent. Michael is the current British skydiving champion who has
:41:47. > :41:51.been looking back at my data. Your initial acceleration is nice and
:41:52. > :41:55.smooth, and that is just natural acceleration from gravity. You have
:41:56. > :42:01.picked up a bit of speed and then started to struggle. Your top speed,
:42:02. > :42:06.you are approaching 180 mph. In the wind tunnel, we found that perfect
:42:07. > :42:11.position, tucked in and streamlined, but it just wasn't working in
:42:12. > :42:15.reality. A bit of drag is helpful for keeping you stable, like a
:42:16. > :42:20.shuttlecock. A shuttlecock can go very fast and it has got feathers on
:42:21. > :42:23.it to keep it stable. Your centre of gravity is somewhere around here and
:42:24. > :42:30.your legs will be like the feathers of a shuttlecock. Think about taking
:42:31. > :42:36.your legs a bit wider to start. As soon as I jump from 15,000 feet, I
:42:37. > :42:39.have got just ten seconds to get my body into a streamlined position and
:42:40. > :42:44.a further 20 seconds to get to maximum speed before I have to slow
:42:45. > :42:51.down to Paul reshoot. If I am going to pass, the parachute will not open
:42:52. > :42:58.properly and I will be in trouble. -- to pull the shoot. Over the next
:42:59. > :43:06.few hours, I'd try a few more jobs but I am yet to reach the
:43:07. > :43:10.peregrine's speed of 200 mph. You definitely have an improvement. A
:43:11. > :43:14.bit of trouble at the beginning, but you have a nice acceleration here,
:43:15. > :43:23.taking you above 300 miles per hour,. Just short of the 200 mark.
:43:24. > :43:28.To eke out that extra ten mph, Mike helps me with some more tips. On
:43:29. > :43:41.attempt number 18, it feels like it is all coming together.
:43:42. > :43:52.But have I done enough to reach the magic 200? Much, much better. It
:43:53. > :43:57.felt so much more stable. I managed to hold my head down all the way
:43:58. > :44:00.from exiting the plane at 15,000 feet down to putting the brakes on
:44:01. > :44:06.at 5000 feet. Let's find out how fast I was. Really nice
:44:07. > :44:12.acceleration. You get it nice and even all the way up to just under
:44:13. > :44:20.350 kilometres per hour, so we are looking at about 215 mph. Well done.
:44:21. > :44:25.Get in! It puts you up there with the fastest animal on the planet.
:44:26. > :44:29.When I started, I wanted to go as fast as a peregrine falcon and,
:44:30. > :44:33.thanks to experts, technology and a bit of help from gravity, I have
:44:34. > :44:43.managed to be up there with one of nature's marvels. Well done, 18
:44:44. > :44:46.attempts and he did it. Speaking of danger, we just want to point out,
:44:47. > :44:53.it's not a good idea to play blindfolded darts. It's not a good
:44:54. > :44:58.idea to play without the blindfold! This is yours, Jon. Fastest on
:44:59. > :45:00.water! Well done Andy - and Mike Dilger
:45:01. > :45:03.is here with some more examples of how humans have used physical
:45:04. > :45:12.enhancements to try and beat animals We will start with the strongest
:45:13. > :45:15.land mammal, the elephant. The African elephant, it's all down to
:45:16. > :45:20.that amazing trunk, a unique appendage in the animal world, no
:45:21. > :45:25.bones or cartilage, and it's calculated they can lift 350 kilos.
:45:26. > :45:30.With brute force they can use their trunk to do that. It's also so
:45:31. > :45:34.dextrous and deft they can use their trunk to pick up a pencil. Compare
:45:35. > :45:44.that to the human world record in weightlifting. A Russian in 2015 did
:45:45. > :45:49.the old clean and jerk, and he managed 246 kilos, pretty
:45:50. > :45:55.impressive. But the Americans have been developing an exoskeleton with
:45:56. > :45:58.the military, and you look like Robocop when you wear it and it
:45:59. > :46:05.inordinately increases your strength. If our Russian friend must
:46:06. > :46:15.aware that exoskeleton he could lift the equivalent of 4888 kilos. That's
:46:16. > :46:22.effectively like if you are lifting one kilo, it's the equivalent of
:46:23. > :46:39.lifting 17. Moving arm. -- moving on. We will move on to the kangaroo.
:46:40. > :46:45.This one is Australia 's straightforward record leap of 1.8
:46:46. > :46:53.metres. Down to these massive Achilles tendon is, like springy
:46:54. > :46:58.pogo sticks. In 2013 a gentleman was wearing bionic stilts, like the ones
:46:59. > :47:04.used in the Paralympics, and they provided an enormous amount of
:47:05. > :47:10.height. 2.76 metres, straight over. They work like spring levers. As he
:47:11. > :47:14.jumps down they store the energy as he goes up and it releases in terms
:47:15. > :47:20.of power to enable him to go higher, way higher than the red kangaroo.
:47:21. > :47:30.Alex isn't listening to a word I'm saying! Back to darts, which animal
:47:31. > :47:40.would be great on a darts team? I would choose the leopard slug. They
:47:41. > :47:45.have an amazing mating ceremony. They can fire love darts to each
:47:46. > :47:53.other when mating. Where do you get them from? It's part of the mating
:47:54. > :47:58.ritual, and they are pretty accurate. They would be in the
:47:59. > :48:04.bull's-eye, 180. Better than bull's-eye Baker, that's the shore.
:48:05. > :48:12.It wasn't meant to go like that. -- that's for sure. Talking nicknames
:48:13. > :48:16.tonight, we asked for sporting nicknames. Bobby, do you have a
:48:17. > :48:22.favourite darts nickname of all the competitors out there? Mine. That
:48:23. > :48:34.1's easy. Couldn't think of anyone else. Andy Fordham, is he there?
:48:35. > :48:48.This is a woman! Is that you? No, it's not. She's a junior bowling
:48:49. > :48:55.champion. Her nickname is Roffletoss, which is the noise she
:48:56. > :49:00.makes when she bowls. Do you have one in real life, Jon? I have quite
:49:01. > :49:13.a few that are shouted at me during gigs and in the street! Lewis is
:49:14. > :49:18.nicknamed Spewy Louie because he's always sick on the rugby pitch. This
:49:19. > :49:32.is hairy Potter, watching Stoke City. John's nickname is poppy
:49:33. > :49:46.Dazzler. We have Martin and, from the bowls team, Ginger Ninja and
:49:47. > :50:00.binge Ninja. Oh dear. You can read this one. Harry at the rugby club,
:50:01. > :50:02.his nickname is the bull. Ending on a safe one.
:50:03. > :50:05.On Friday night, on BBC 4, you - the great British public -
:50:06. > :50:08.will be given the responsibility of choosing a song that hopefully
:50:09. > :50:11.will win this year's Eurovision Song Contest for the UK.
:50:12. > :50:16.Hopefully all the performers can take some inspiration from our first
:50:17. > :50:26.winner - Sandie Shaw in 1967 - who went from humble beginnings
:50:27. > :50:40.We got there in the end. # I wonder if one day that
:50:41. > :50:45.# You will say that you care # If you say that you love me madly
:50:46. > :50:54.# Arrow gladly be their # Like a Puppet On A String #.
:50:55. > :51:00.That's not my house! Wow, look at the front bit. My mum would have
:51:01. > :51:09.loved that. She always wanted a porch. It's been 50 years since I've
:51:10. > :51:17.been in this place. And it's a bit nerve wracking. My stomach is
:51:18. > :51:27.churning a bit. Here is the front room. Oh, yes, cosy and warm. Moving
:51:28. > :51:34.into this house was a big deal for my parents. They had saved up for so
:51:35. > :51:40.long to buy it. My dad had worked as a welder and my mum always worked in
:51:41. > :51:49.an office. The gramophone was here and I used to sit here every Sunday
:51:50. > :51:54.afternoon listening to Alan Freeman. The guy next door used to wear
:51:55. > :52:00.leathers and had a motorbike. He was a lot older than me and he had big
:52:01. > :52:04.blue eyes and his hair slicked back. He used to let me go in and listen
:52:05. > :52:17.to his rock and roll records, like Gene Vincent. This is the room where
:52:18. > :52:22.I went on strike. I decided in my early teens to put away all the
:52:23. > :52:30.girly things, painted everything white, nothing pink or frilly, and
:52:31. > :52:38.that started me off thinking, girls can do something different. Why are
:52:39. > :52:44.we being limited? Why are there only boybands and why aren't any girls
:52:45. > :52:48.singing? It was the germ of an idea. Down at the dance hall I would ask
:52:49. > :52:56.the bands if I could sing with them and that's where I trained. This is
:52:57. > :53:00.my wonderful old school, Robert Clack. This is my maths class. I
:53:01. > :53:07.will go in there now. Hello. Long time no see. Yes, I remember you
:53:08. > :53:13.really well. I wonder if you remember my class. You were in class
:53:14. > :53:21.3-D. I would describe them as the most difficult for me in the 33
:53:22. > :53:27.years I was at the school. Rioting! From time to time. The other
:53:28. > :53:33.teachers I remember really well, Mr Jones. Without him I wouldn't have
:53:34. > :53:40.started recording in French. I was amazed when I found out you accorded
:53:41. > :53:45.in very slight ridges. It's all thanks to my school. -- recorded in
:53:46. > :54:02.various languages. This was the iconic Eltham Palace.
:54:03. > :54:07.One time there was a talent contest here and I came second. However, a
:54:08. > :54:13.guy said, my uncle is in show business. You should go up to London
:54:14. > :54:16.to meet him. My mum and dad didn't know until I suddenly announced I
:54:17. > :54:19.had been discovered. They were totally shocked at Alessandro Nesta.
:54:20. > :54:35.-- at our sander. -- our Sandra. It was because I knew
:54:36. > :54:41.where I came from, and it was a reminder of the rags to riches,
:54:42. > :54:45.Cinderella story. I don't think I have essentially changed that much.
:54:46. > :54:48.I still come from the same place and singing from the same hymn book.
:54:49. > :54:51.That's what I've learned from this journey.
:54:52. > :54:57.# I'm still here. And we will be live
:54:58. > :55:02.with Mel Giedroyc at the big Eurovision: You Decide show this
:55:03. > :55:04.Friday, when the public will have a say in our entry
