24/04/2014 The One Show

Welcome to the one Show with Matt Baker and Alex Jones. Tonight: We

are honoured to have with us the Strictly legend who has left his

audience Strictly heartbroken after announcing he is leaving the show.

Whoever replaces him has some pretty big dancing shoes to fill. He will

always be our favourite. Please welcome the one, the only, Sir Bruce

Forsyth. APPLAUSE. Don't leave me hanging. Lovely to

see you. Sit yourself down. Keep it going, keep it going. Sit down when

it's quiet, you don't want that. I tell you what, you have not have to

cost a bit of a stir. You've left everybody heartbroken because you're

leaving Strictly. When did you make the big decision? In the last show I

was thinking of, last year, do I have to do this, because it is very

tough, especially when you do live, one hour and 40 minutes. You are

used to it every night, but live, one hour and 40 minutes, up and down

those stairs, so I thought, it felt right, and whilst I was away in the

Caribbean with my lovely darling wife for my winter break, that is

when I decided I did not want to go back to it. But the BBC have been

marvellous about it, they said, would you come back for the

Christmas show? I will pop on now and again as a guest star. Why not?

Get in there as a contestant. I don't think so. Why not? I'm talking

to both of you, it takes great courage to go on there, doing

something you have never done before. My hat is off to all the

people who have appeared on Strictly. It is a big thing. You

were very supportive, having you there was lovely. Too-mac did I

support you? I cannot remember that. Did you feel safe in my hands? I

did! Good. Brucie has been on television almost as long as it has

been invented. Now I haven't! Did you start in 1939? Yes, when I was a

child. The BBC started in 1936. In that time, he has met thousands of

people, but are you one of then? If you have a photograph of you with

Sir Bruce, please send it in and we will bring you back to Sir Bruce.

That's a nice idea. I wish I had thought of that. Quite different.

Stand-by, because we will be asking you who you think will fill your

shoes later on. First, the state of the NHS in Wales has come under fire

recently, not least from David Cameron, who called the service at

scandal when facing Ed Miliband at prime ministers questions. Away from

political point scoring, one group is fighting for an enquiry into the

proposed treatment their relatives received in South Wales. -- the bad

treatment. Over the last few months, the Welsh

health service has been attracting the wrong sort of headlines, and for

some there is concern that this health service is in crisis. Can I

ask for a show of hands? If your medical records have vanished after

you made complaints... We are witnessing a shocking indictment of

the management of ABMU. The group want a full public enquiry, similar

to the one that was published about Mid Staffs in 2013. The finger is

being pointed at ABMU, which covers Swansea, Bridgend, Neath and Port

Talbot. Following the death of our father we had the full

investigation, and they discovered during the investigation that my

father's charts were either not filled in, inappropriately filled

in. The night before my mother died I was in the ward, I was by the

bed, the nurse turned around and said to me that they were so

short-staffed that there would be a fatality. The day after that, my

mother died. They have given a statement that said Jude to work

commitments they did not have the staff to take her to intensive care.

One of those who believes the health board has failed them is Pam Davies.

In 2010, her mother was admitted to accident and emergency with low

potassium levels, which is quite common in the elderly. A few days

later she passed away. As I walked into the room, my mother was sat

bolt upright, sweating profusely, going into shock. I said to the

nurse, what are you doing with my mother? I said get some oxygen on

her now. I was on the ambulance service for 22 years, I said I'm not

a normal member of the public, get some oxygen on her now. Get a trip

in. I had some witnesses to this and I shouted. -- a drip. I said, is

anybody coming to see my mother who is dying? The doctor went in, got a

line in in three minutes. If your mum had been treated correctly,

would she possibly still be here? Definitely, because at the end of

the day my mother could have come out of there in 48 hours. They left

it too late. He left it too late. The public services ombudsman upheld

there had been failings in the way Betty had she been treated. Gareth

Williams's mother died in 2012. She had also been in the care of the

Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend and the Neath and Port

Talbot Hospital nearby. This is my mother there. He complained

repeatedly about the standard of treatment she was receiving.

Allegations that have been proven is ascribed life-saving medications

were not administered. The charts are marked that they are taking, but

my mother's teeth were not removed for two weeks, the roof of her mouth

was festered with ulcers. When she was screaming in pain they were

doping her, and admitted allegation. Such a strong sense of injustice and

hearing stories from others that are similar, he started the victim

support group. What we have been through should not have happened.

The Welsh government must act, there must now be a fool public enquiry.

-- full. When we put these claims to the health board, this is what they

said. The first thing is to sincerely apologise because that is

an awful thing to happen to any patient and relative. I spoke to one

gentleman, his mother, who is no longer here, she went to hospital

four times. He said on each occasion, things were equally as

bad, no improvements. He was Ashun Wu there would be improvements. We

have provided better training, increased staffing, infection rates

are going down, survival rates are going up. We are learning and

improving, but I'm not trying to say that it is perfect. We have got

further than we wanted but we are determined. There have been problems

with health records, the evidence has been provided, and the records

are important to make sure we can care for people and demonstrate we

have done so. Has there been more reaction since that? Has. I must

stress that Paul Roberts, the chief executive of the health board, he

only started the job in 2011, he was not in the role when some of this

happened, and he has at last -- spoken to us and said he extends his

apologies to the families. He says several improvements are underway,

including additional staff training, better record-keeping, 36 nurses are

being appointed to the hospital, and they have increased the number of

senior nurses. As well as that, concern clinics. Nations and

relatives can come forward and have face-to-face time with senior

clinicians. -- patients and relatives. He says he is keen for

more to come forward and help them make it better. There are a number

of enquiries underway. Indeed. There is an investigation into the

falsification of evidence. Three nurses were investigated and

arrested and are currently on bail. The health board have commissioned

an external safety quality review. The Welsh government has

commissioned a review into the care of the elderly, particularly at the

Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend and the Neath Port Talbot

Hospital. Also, I reviewed looking into concerns and complaints across

the NHS in the whole of Wales. Lots of change taking place. Sir Bruce,

one way to stay out of hospital is to keep up a good exercise regime.

Yes, I do my exercises every day. We were reading about this Tibetan

exercise regime. Yes, part of it. We were wondering if you could give us

a demonstration. I can assure you a bit, but I start my exercises in

bed, so we will get a bit close. You shift over. I start my exercises by

doing this. 21 of those, 21 the other way. Stretch that one, stretch

that is one -- this one. What time is this happening? Before breakfast.

I'm not out of bed! After I've done that, I stretch my feet, that gives

your calf muscles. Then I bend my toes. I've forgotten what I do next.

Then I do my hands. I've got my hands appear. That is good for the

core! I have core I haven't even used yet. Then I get pins and

needles, then I do that. I do 100 of those. Everybody wakes up in the

morning with their hands feeling sore. Do 100 of them. You keep

going, we will get on with the rest of the show. Do you want to carry on

with this? It's beginning to hurt. Relax! Then I heart my back. --

arch. After that, 21 turns on the spot. We will -- we will not have

skewed to do that. You could do it with me, we will dance. It is fair

to say Strictly will not be the same without the Sir Bruce. You will be

running late and it will be my fault. Everybody has been

speculating who will be the new host. Jay Rayner has quick stepped

his way through. Surprisingly, I have been at to come

to Bromley. -- requested. I have two Aske the great British public what

they think and who they think should replace Brucie. What do you think

are the perfect ingredients for a stricter come dancing presenter?

Charisma and style. Glitz and glamour. Bubbly personality. Sense

of humour. Somebody who draws the crowds because Sir Bruce did that.

Who would make the perfect presenter? Anton du Beke. He would

be good. He even has the Brucie chin. Peter Kay would say they

appetite. Graham Norton. You don't think there are too many

ingredients? Never too much. Phillip Schofield? You don't think he is a

bit tart? Yes, I like Claudia Winkleman. Harry styles. I think

Vernon Kay. Do you think those would work together? Yes. But I still love

Brucie. Will you miss them? Yes. I'm a little sad. Some good suggestions.

But I think you are free on Saturdays! I'm free on a Saturday.

Nothing on! You can make suggestions. But the money is on

Claudia, isn't it? Is there anything you can say to put

us off her lovely scent? Her lovely scent? I didn't know she wore sent!

I think it would work with Claudia and Tess. I think they did well when

I was away. I've been leading that show since I started. -- leaving.

The first year, I wasn't going to do the second year. If any of the press

asked me, I say there is only one contender, wrist Johnson. Cars with

those feet and everything... -- Boris Johnson. We thought you might

say that so we've done a mock-up. It could happen. Seriously, I think the

BBC will make the right decision. There has been so much speculation.

I'm not getting involved. So you don't know? No, but whoever does it,

I wish them good luck. It's a wonderful show. I'm going to miss it

like mad. It's a great show to have been in. It's done everything for

me. How lucky to have had three of the greatest shows ever on TV,

Sunday Night At The London Palladium, The Generation Game and

Strictly. You aren't going to put your feet up now, are you? You've

got a one-man show. Yes, do you want to know where? Yes. It's in

Southampton. The Mayflower Theatre. I sailed on that once. It was a long

time ago! The Bristol hippodrome and the concert hall in Nottingham. I

love doing my one-man show. The thing I love more than anything else

is live shows, getting out there with an audience, for better or

worse and getting at them. Is it like Sir Bruce's greatest hits? I

haven't had any hits! You know what I mean! I haven't had one hit record

in 70 years! Can we expect more of what we got from Glastonbury?

# And this is my moment. # My destiny calls me.

# And I can explore #. That was excellent. Glastonbury was

the greatest afternoon. The greatest afternoon of my career. And all

young people, 20-year-olds, 30-year-olds, and the public that I

didn't think would like me, and I went down there and they were

fantastic. Never had a time like it. Beautiful! I read somewhere that you

want to give such a great performance that you get a little

bit nervous. Do you still feel that? Of course. Even tonight when I

walked through that rabble! I thought, "I hope it's going to be

all right. I hope the questions are OK. Have you got the right

questions? Will I be able to answer them?" It shows you still care. I

think any performer who isn't nervous before they go on is either

very big headed or should not be in the business. You've got to be

nervous. It's part of what you do, the doubt of what the audience are

going to be like. Are they going to like you? In the first five minutes,

I can always tell if they hate me. And then the ten minutes afterwards,

I can tell if they still hate me. And then another five minutes, I

could be off and going home! Let's rewind the clock a little bit to

1958 when Bruce appeared in his very first Royal variety performance and

sharing the bill with him was the legendary...

# Give me the moonlight, give me the girl. Frankie Vaughan. As great an

entertainer as he was, he will always be remembered in one

community as the man who helped to save their streets from violence.

Here's Matt all right. In the 1950s, tens of thousands of Glasgow slum

tenants were moved from the city centre to the outskirts and a new

Easterhouse estate. It was supposed to be a new way of

life for some of Glasgow Airport microbreweries to people but, in

fact, a lack of things to do soon meant that young people formed a

rival gangs. Arthur McGill was a leader in one of the main gangs, the

Drummys. You were in trouble. I'm not proud of it. But it was a case

of them or me and there was nobody who could actually stop them. Police

had tried and failed to end the violence here so how was one of the

1960s' biggest names in showbiz able to make a real difference in this

tough Glasgow housing estate? With his sultry looks and powerful voice,

Frankie Vaughan was Britain's answer to Frank Sinatra. He released more

than 80 singles, Ste scoring more than 80 top 20 hits. In the 1950s

and 1960s you would have struggled to find a bigger star than Frankie

Vaughan. He was massive in Hollywood and was also playing to packed

theatres like this one, the Pavillion Theatre in Glasgow, every

night. But for some reason, this city had a particular place in his

affections and it went a long way beyond just performing on stage.

Frankie Vaughan had seen a BBC documentary about the fighting

between the Glasgow gangs. It touched a nerve with the

working-class boy from the slums of Liverpool. I remember coming here

with my father. Such a beautiful theatre. David is Frankie Vaughan's

Sun and that dad's determination to the boys of Easterhouse. He was

another street kid who found himself, through help from

others... He felt he had had a great break in his life and he believed in

giving back. On July the 10th 1968, Frankie went to Easterhouse and met

some of the main gangs, the Drummys and the Tory U. -- the Toi. Frankie

agreed that if the gangs laid down there weapons, he would help them

get a youth centre. And that's it right there. Right there. Boys from

gangs came here to hand their weapons to the police. They

displayed an amazing collection of weapons and clubs. Frankie then

raised ?5,500, worth ?80,000 today, for the youth centre, by putting on

shows in the city. When it opened, hundreds of children on the estate

finally had a place to go, away from the tribal warfare of the gangland.

Arthur was one of the first boys to visit the project and today is

meeting Frankie Vaughan's son for the first time. How did the project

change things? It gave us somewhere to go so you were off the streets.

Are the believes that Frankie's involvement changed his life.

How much of that change would you believe was down to what Frankie

did? There was nobody else here at the time so it must have been him.

The way he spoke to you, he spoke to you like an adult. He always related

to people he felt had been through what he'd been through and he never

forgot his roots. The Easterhouse Project remained open for nearly 30

years and Frankie always kept in touch with the community, right up

until his death in 1999. Frankie Vaughan wanted to change things here

in Easterhouse not because he had anything to gain but because he

loved the place and saw something of himself in the kids causing all the

trouble. It would be unrealistic to imagine that he could solve the

problems here overnight but what is real is that he did affect the lives

of individuals like Arthur for the good.

What an incredible man. We know that he was a good friend of yours. He

really was. He was top of the bill before I really got started. Always

fun to be with and a great entertainer. Another great friend is

someone that you've just made a documentary about, Sammy Davis, Jr.

Sammy was the greatest entertainer who ever lived. He was incredible.

I've been looking at a lot of the archive stuff that he did and he was

truly amazing. Visit his life story? Yes, we go right from when he was a

kid of three. We have a lovely clip of him dancing with his feet going

round and round. # I'll be glad when you're dead, you

rascal #. It was amazing. When you think that

he got through all the coloured situation in America, all the racial

discrimination that went on there, and then his private life, because

he married these beautiful blonde women which was against everything

in America at that time. He certainly gave himself a bit of a

problem. Everywhere he went was a problem. You say that the show you

did with him in 1980 was your favourite. The best thing I've ever

been associated with. Let's remind ourselves.

# You stole my heart away. Makes me dream of things I know can

never be true. # Seems as though I'll never be

clear. # Sometimes I'm happy, sometimes I'm

blue. My disposition depends on you. #.

You can see that documentary on the 25th of May on ITV. That was the

medley of all medleys. I don't know how many songs were in it but it

lasted for about eight minutes of song after song after song. The only

thing that date it is those white microphones. Otherwise it stands up

today. We hope to put it on, actually, after the documentary.

Good. Well, a quick game for you now. Oh, I don't like games. I

didn't come here to do games! I came here to talk about me! It is about

you! You've worked with everybody in the world of showbiz so we've got

pictures and we are going to ask you to guess who the person sharing the

stage with you is. We are calling this... Nice To Have Seen You, To

Have Seen You... OK, this is the first one. Who are

you sharing the stage with there? This guy is royalty on stage. The

clue is the year. That Prince Charles, when I did my one-man show

for him. That was in Windsor at the Theatre Royal. Ready for the next

one? He does a good stand-up. Very racy! Who is this? Bette Midler.

Yes, it was Bette Midler. We did the entire interview on the floor and it

was my idea! I went to see her show and she kept lying down halfway

through. She kept lying on the floor. Doing dialogue and everything

else. I said, "what about doing the whole interview on the floor? " We

had tea served and everything! The final one, then. You could have been

a fifth member. Who are these boys? The Beatles. I introduced them at

the Palladium. What a night that was. We didn't know what to do with

them because the girls that got in there, 600 girls, were screaming. I

said, "we can't have this." So I thought of this idea for them to do

a whole dialogue bits so they spoke to the audience with idiot boards.

They ran on with idiot boards with a question and then the other one

would run on. Why are you fidgeting? You may not notice. This is Bob and

his sister because we asked if anyone had pictures with you. This

is you in 1959 at Weymouth. That would be the summer season after the

Palladium. You were in your 30s there. 31. This is from deep. He

says he met you in Berkshire in 2005. I remember Dean. Yes, we went

to the car wash. That's why he's dressed like that. What about Sandy

and her daughter Melody? They met you on Takeover Bid. That was a show

that took a dive. It lasted a series and we were surprised it lasted that

long. This is yuan Play Your Cards Right. I loved Play Your Cards

Right. It was a fun show. Better than the Michael McIntyre show,

wasn't it? Don't say this! You are live. You get bigger ratings

anyway! We'll see you back again tomorrow.
