Hello and welcome to the One Show with Michelle Ackerley. | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
On tonight's show, Gloria Hunniford will be telling us what's | :00:20. | :00:27. | |
on her plate in a new series of Rip Off Britain Food. | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
Historian Lucy Worsley will be talking sense - and sensibility - | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
revealing the inspiration behind some of Jane Austen's | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
Gyles will be here to celebrate the life and work | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
of his good friend - the late, great Sir Roger Moore. | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
Tonight our thoughts are, of course, with everyone affected by the terror | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
attack at the Manchester Arena less than 48-hours ago. | :00:48. | :00:54. | |
Particularly the family and friends of the 22 people who lost their | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
lives and were injured. Last night there was | :00:59. | :01:05. | |
a vigil in Albert Square. The Mayor of Greater Manchester, | :01:06. | :01:07. | |
Andy Burnham, has paid tribute to the people of his city saying, | :01:08. | :01:09. | |
"Even in the minute after the attack they opened their doors to strangers | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
and drove them away from danger." So much has been said about the | :01:13. | :01:20. | |
spirit of this great city over the past couple of days and I can tell | :01:21. | :01:22. | |
you being here, that's all absolutely true. There's also | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
another story. That's about the people who are finding themselves in | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
a position to help out who have completely stepped up to the mark in | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
anyway they could from all across the city. | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
Started getting the phone calls from the concerned parents and from | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
terrified youngsters who were trying to find their lost ones and trying | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
to get home safe. I reached out to our drivers. This is our time, and | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
we need to do our part. Anyone who was stranded, we provided free taxis | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
for them to get home at times like this we always pull together. As | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
human beings and as Mancunian I would say. What | :02:05. | :02:22. | |
can we do to help? Anybody who knows somebody involved, go around to them | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
now, stay with them. Don't leave them alone. The worst thing they can | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
say is, "no, we are OK, thank you" go around and offer your help, don't | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
leave them alone. You are in a unique position to help these | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
families, aren't you? My son David was killed in the London bombs in | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
7/7. Some familiar now are wondering what is going on. That's the help | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
I'm offering to these families is talk and share with them that we can | :02:49. | :02:50. | |
get through it. Miranda, it's pretty busy down here. | :02:51. | :03:03. | |
Tell me what is going on? We are a food redistribution charity. We are | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
busy get surplus food out to Manchester's Children's Hospital. | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
How long can you supply food to the hospital? We will find out out what | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
they need in the days and weeks to come. We will talk to our food | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
donors who are generous companies in the UK donating food for people in | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
need all year round and see if they can help us out to do what the | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
hospital needs us to do. We want to stand together, like everybody else | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
in the city, and say what happened is age Rossty, we can pull together | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
and try and make things better for the future. | :03:36. | :03:43. | |
When we heard the explosion, we came out of the temple to see what's | :03:44. | :03:50. | |
going on, people were running around in chaos. They didn't know where to | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
turn. We opened the doors of the temple and welcomed people in. Our | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
religion says to give selfless service where ever we can help. This | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
is what they did that night. What does the temple and the community | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
feel is your role now as this city tries to heal We have to come to | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
terms and be stronger and we will stay together and unite. All the | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
temples of Manchester will come together and support whoever is in | :04:22. | :04:22. | |
need. Anything that happens, whether it be | :04:23. | :04:33. | |
your football team winning, we celebrate it. Times like this, the | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
hard times, everyone gets together. Nothing matters then. We are all | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
one. I think the city is still numb and we're, as Muslims, are sickened, | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
absolutely sickened. The only thing we've got to do is come out and | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
stand with People out there people. Are doing stuff right now. People | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
opening up their homes, letting people in, people donating blood. | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
That is everywhere. It gives me a sense of pride. We are a proud | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
people. People who did this horrible thing will never beat us. | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
Thanks to everyone who appeared in the film. | :05:11. | :05:12. | |
This evening Muslim leaders from across the UK, along | :05:13. | :05:14. | |
with other faith leaders, have been holding another | :05:15. | :05:16. | |
When I heard the news, I was shocked and got on the phone to family | :05:17. | :05:32. | |
members to see if they are OK. You got a sense in the film there, there | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
is a real sense of community in Manchester. People are there to | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
stand by each other, to really look after each other and that is | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
incredibly heart warming to see. It is a great, great city. | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
Plenty still to come tonight. Gloria Hunniford will join us shortly. Here | :05:48. | :05:59. | |
is Marty on a rail revolution that never quite got off the ground inlet | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
1970s this corner of the Cambridgeshire Fens was at the heart | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
of a space age experiment. These concrete pillars are all that remain | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
of a pioneering attempt to create the fastest transport system ever | :06:16. | :06:22. | |
dreamed of, the tracked hovercraft or hovertrain. It was visionary. A | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
train that hovered above its track like a futuristic spacecraft and | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
used a new kind of motor to accelerate to hundreds of miles an | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
hour. These are the only three remaining visible parts of the test | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
track on which the hovertrain was going to be run. It's a hovertrain. | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
Presumably, it's working like a hovercraft floating on a cushion of | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
air then? Correct. They had 12 fans and blew the air under | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
high-pressure. That lifted the train off the track. The project was the | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
train child of a superstar British inventor. Professor Eric lathe wait. | :06:59. | :07:07. | |
He developed a new type of motor. It's a simple idea. It's an ordinary | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
electric motor which has been unrolled. Instead of going round and | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
round, it ran in a straight line. It was this that powered the | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
hovertrain. Let me show you how it worked. I have magnets here. Like | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
that. I've lined them up in a long line here. What I've effectively got | :07:26. | :07:33. | |
is one, long magnetic field. The Met al here will be my rails. This metal | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
bar, this is going to be my train. All I need to do is attach a source | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
of electricity and... Look at that, it rolls all the way | :07:43. | :07:51. | |
up the end. The electricity creates a magnetic field around the bar and | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
that interacts with my line of magnets in the track. This is just | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
how the hovertrain was powered. Because there was no wheels, there | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
was no friction, making it smooth, silent and super fast. The dream was | :08:06. | :08:12. | |
to have airline speed so London to Edinburgh in 90 minutes. London to | :08:13. | :08:23. | |
Birmingham in 20 minutes. The Government invested millions. It | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
reached 104mph on one mile of track. The potential was train. That same | :08:28. | :08:34. | |
train now rests a the Peter Borough's World life Haven am. She's | :08:35. | :08:41. | |
looked after by Brian Pearce. RTV 31. The hovertrain of the future. We | :08:42. | :08:48. | |
have the three connections for the linear motor. Where the electricity | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
came into the system? That is where it picked up. The hover pads at the | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
top. 23 tonnes this weighs. You could pick it up on air? Yeah. Every | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
detail of the design was carefully thought out. It was incredible. All | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
the lines were going to rate radiate from King's Cross. People would get | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
off and get on to a convention al train. Inside what it was going to | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
look like. A cross section through... 100 passengers and two | :09:19. | :09:25. | |
crew there for serving drinks. The project seemed right on track. As | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
you can tell by the fact she is not zooming along a track near you the | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
story doesn't end well for this old girl. The project was beset by | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
technical and financial problems. There was stiff competition from | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
British Rail's new high-speed trains, which ran on existing | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
tracks. In 1973, the Government pulled the plug. It's a sad time | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
then for the people working on, it I guess? Very sad. They were geared | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
up. They wanted to do it. It was a fantastic British invention. This | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
display may seem like a lonely tribute to the hovertrain and the | :10:04. | :10:11. | |
work of EricLaithwaite. His work lives on. In Japan a train holds the | :10:12. | :10:19. | |
world passenger speed train record at a massive 375mph. I can't help | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
feeling that would have made him proud. Indeed. I remember getting | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
very excited about that back in the day. Do you. Onkm tomorrow's World. | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
Very James Bond. It looked cool. On your way to the evil lair. On your | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
way to work on that. I'm not a bond villain. You look like one. Thank | :10:41. | :10:52. | |
you! Joke, joke! Just to remind you, we will be celebrating Sir Roger | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
Moore later. Here he is with our own Gyles. He will share his memories of | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
the legendary actor who sadly died yesterday. | :11:01. | :11:29. | |
But before that, let's welcome tonight's first guest - | :11:30. | :11:31. | |
our very own Bond Girl with a licence to investigate - | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
I interviewed him over the years about films and things, but about | :11:35. | :11:43. | |
Unicef. I got to know him quite well through some mutual friends, Lesley | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
and his wife. The first time we went to dinner I'm thinking - I'm going | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
to dinner with James Bond. We couldn't find the way. It was | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
complicated. I was driving. In the end, I went down a workman's, down | :11:55. | :12:01. | |
the hole they dug that day. The car was practically in it. Lesley had to | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
come and save us, retrieve us. When we got there feeling totally | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
embarrassed very late. Roger was standing in the fading sun light | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
looking immaculate as he always did. Brown and gorgeous he looninged down | :12:18. | :12:25. | |
and said moneypenny, for good" Ness sake, where have you been?" He liked | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
a naughty joke. He liked a racy joke. So do I, by the way. I used to | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
save them up. We know that. The new series of Rip Off Britain Food is | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
starting on Monday? It is. Not our usual time. Usually at 9.15pm, at | :12:42. | :12:50. | |
10.45pm. But 11.00pm for the rest of the week. I like you. They have | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
drugs tested Angela Rippon is this right? I would like to see her | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
drugged, wouldn't you? Angela is always in charge. What happened was | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
an interesting case. All our programmes are based on viewer's | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
problems. If I take your energy problem, for example, hundreds of | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
people will identify. In this case it was very unusual. This man | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
unfortunately through a routine drugs test at work tested | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
positively. He was sacked. He lost his job, everything. Then when he he | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
investigated further he discovered - ridiculous in a way - he discovered | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
it was the poppy seeds on his poppy seed bread for breakfast every | :13:32. | :13:33. | |
morning that was raising his drug levels. Really? A true story. How | :13:34. | :13:40. | |
much was he having exactly? He must have been having a loaf a day, at | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
least. Maybe a few bagels in the afternoon. Angela had the drugs | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
test? We decided Angela would be the best one to eat the poppy seeds for | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
three or four days. We thought it was a good choice, actually. Let's | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
see how she got on. I have to say I'm a little bit nervous to know | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
what he's found. What's the result of my test? You're positive for | :14:04. | :14:13. | |
morphine, you ex-created 13 nanny grams in your urine. If I took a | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
test as an employee my employers could say, there's a possibility you | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
are a drug taker? If they follow the European guidance for testing of | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
drugs in the workplace, no, you wouldn't be because the limit there | :14:26. | :14:35. | |
is 300 nanograms per nil. You ex-created ten times less than you | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
would need for a positive test. It's fascinating? She has been eating | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
poppy seed bread ever since! That's a lie. I didn't mean that. You are | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
investigating coffee, weren't you, particularly decaf? Again it was a | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
true story. This woman was due to have a heart procedure and she had | :14:53. | :14:58. | |
been told by letter not to have any caffeinated drinks for 24-hours or | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
whatever. She thought, my decaf will be fine. She drank that. When she | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
went to the hospital they couldn't do the op because it showed that she | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
had caffeine in her body. The reality is you cannot have totally | :15:10. | :15:17. | |
decaf coffee. How much caffeine might there be in there? A Professor | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
At a university, she showed us, how to extract the caffeine from the | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
coffee beans. It's impossible to extract 100%. There will always be a | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
little bit? Always a little. Important to know. When you find a | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
jar that says "no caffeine" that actually is not right. Fantastic. | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
That is leading you you astray. You needed to watch the show to see the | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
full story. You do. Rip Off Britain Food starts | :15:46. | :15:58. | |
on Monday, 10.45pm, on BBC One. Before historian Lucy Worsley takes | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
us back to the days of Jane Austen, One Show artist, Adebanji, | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
has taken his own historical trip I am on the coast of Devon looking | :16:05. | :16:17. | |
for a very specific location. And I think I have found it. Saint | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
Nicholas's Chapel in Ilfracombe was depicted over 200 years ago by | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
artist William Daniel. From 1813 he spent 12 years travelling and | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
illustrating our coastline from Land's End to the Orkneys and back. | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
He produced over 300 finely crafted prints. I'm going to recapture this | :16:37. | :16:44. | |
view in my style now and see how it might have changed over the | :16:45. | :16:51. | |
centuries. I'm just going to sketch, get a balance of light and shade and | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
work this through getting the right proportions and textures. There is a | :16:56. | :17:04. | |
lovely shadow that falls right down. That is the shadow of Saint Nicholas | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
on the hill, which makes it look very dramatic and interesting so I | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
might exaggerate that. In the early 1800s, Ilfracombe was already | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
important as a harbour. There was cold from south Wales and fishing, | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
yet it was small with just one Main St. Daniel came here at the age of | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
44 in the first year of his voyage around Britain. His writing | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
companion declared he had seldom seen a place more picturesque. I am | :17:36. | :17:41. | |
using a broad stroke technique with the pencil where I behave as this I | :17:42. | :17:50. | |
am using a brush, because there are more ragged rocks, I am going in | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
bits and pieces to try and get the dark texture and the effect of | :17:56. | :18:03. | |
shade. Whenever I need more dark I just add more pressure. I am going | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
to use what I sketched now to complete a painting I will reveal | :18:09. | :18:16. | |
later. It is believed Mariners were helped by fire beacons on the Hill | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
century before the chapel was built in 1321. In the book it is referred | :18:23. | :18:30. | |
to as a whimsical fancy and a model of inconvenience because of the | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
client. Identity think it is too bad. The local Rotary Club renovated | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
the building in 1962. John Brown is the Guardian. Nice to meet you. What | :18:39. | :18:46. | |
would it have been used for in the time Daniel came? We suspect it | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
might have been used by the military at that time. That was the time of | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
the Napoleonic Wars and obviously a building like this would have made | :18:55. | :19:00. | |
an ideal observation post. Then from the mid-1800s, it was a house for | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
the lighthouse keeper. He brought up 14 children in this building. Inside | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
the chapel is pretty cosy for a family with 14 children. The light | :19:12. | :19:21. | |
is maintained electronic lead today so the harbour master Rob Lawson | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
does not have to live here. This light can be seen from six miles | :19:25. | :19:26. | |
away and it flashes two times every five seconds, so you can identify it | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
when you are out at sea. I am itching to see this. I think you | :19:31. | :19:37. | |
will be surprised at how small it is but please, let's do. Let's see. Is | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
this the small little light that you can see six miles away?! Modern LEDs | :19:44. | :19:52. | |
are very, very bright. Unbelievable! The light may be small but the view | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
is massive. There is one thing I'm going to take home after this whole | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
experience and that is the light. When I looked at it from far across | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
over there in the morning, this St Nicholas Chapel looked amazingly | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
blazing in the light. That is what I am going to take back to the studio | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
and that is what I am going to strive to get. And there it glows, | :20:18. | :20:25. | |
Saint Nicholas' Chapel, Ilfracombe, the perfect inspiration for Daniel's | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
19th-century detection and now my own 21st century painting. I wish I | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
could paint like that, it is fantastic. Some of you I am sure -- | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
someone I am sure who enjoyed the trip back in time is historian Lucy | :20:41. | :20:48. | |
Worsley. Lucy, a very important day, the 200th anniversary this year of | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
Jane Austen's death and you have just come from the last place she | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
was known to live, is that right? I have. It has been a day of | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
celebration and sadness at the Jane Austen house Museum which is this | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
little cottage in Hampshire where she lived towards the end with her | :21:06. | :21:12. | |
sister, and exactly 200 years ago to the day, she set off from this | :21:13. | :21:14. | |
cottage to go to Winchester where the hospital was for medical | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
treatment, and to die and she was only 41 years old. It is amazing the | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
influence she had and yet she died so young. She is still making the | :21:25. | :21:27. | |
headlines today because of this picture which is her on a ?10 note. | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
Why is it that this portrait in particular has caused so much | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
controversy? Well, there is a delicious irony here. You see that | :21:38. | :21:44. | |
picture, it is not really her. Really? That is an author publicity | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
portrait that was produced after she died. It is like she has been | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
airbrushed and made to look a bit prettier. The sad thing is that | :21:53. | :21:57. | |
while she was still alive her books had not caught on and nobody cared | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
what she looked like. Members of her family in later years, looking at | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
that image said it is a very nice face but that is not what she looked | :22:06. | :22:12. | |
like! It is a lovely irony because Jane was not about looks, she was | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
about words and my favourite description of her is somebody who | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
knew her said it was like wit came oozing out of her. I can imagine her | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
having a good laugh at all this controversy. It is a bit ironic she | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
is on a tenner because as you say, she did not make much money, she did | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
not achieve financial success was she was alive. Why was that? There | :22:35. | :22:41. | |
were so many different reasons. One of the difficulties she had is she | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
was from a layer of society called the studio gentry. It means you want | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
to be part of the landed gentry but you have not got any land. There are | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
standards to maintain and appearances to keep up and her | :22:55. | :22:57. | |
family thought it was a bit inappropriate that you would go out | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
and make money as a novelist. One of the reasons why it took her a long | :23:03. | :23:05. | |
time to get published as well is because her books were two novel, | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
too good, there weren't any ghosts in them or pirates in | :23:11. | :23:30. | |
them, there weren't any haunted abbeys, no one knew what was going | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
on. She was like a secret agent skewering high society. Let's talk | :23:35. | :23:36. | |
about your book will stop you have got a book all about Jane Austen | :23:37. | :23:39. | |
called Jane Austen At Home but she had no fixed address, did she? She | :23:40. | :23:42. | |
did live for 25 years in the house where she was born with her father, | :23:43. | :23:44. | |
a clergyman. The family were downwardly mobile. They kept getting | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
poorer and poorer. She kept having to move from lodging house to rented | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
accommodation and she would try and make long visits to her rich | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
relatives. I think this matters. I think where she lived matters | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
because once you know she was in rich people's houses but only as the | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
poor relation, you think, that is the detachment, that is the | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
viewpoint you need to become a brilliant novelist. Did she have a | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
side? Yes, she was a very bitter, naughty person! If she took against | :24:17. | :24:22. | |
you, be afraid! You have also got a documentary coming out this Saturday | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
which is Jane Austen: Behind Closed Doors. There is one exciting | :24:28. | :24:37. | |
discovery you make so let's take a look. That is beautiful. This is | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
Willow pattern so it is blue and white transfer. They had just | :24:42. | :24:43. | |
learned how to do the transfer print and anybody who was anybody had to | :24:44. | :24:51. | |
have one. It is from about 1770. Now, Debbie, we don't have any | :24:52. | :24:54. | |
evidence that Jane Austin did not eat an egg out of this a cup? We | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
don't so she may well have done! Jane Austen's egg cup. | :25:01. | :25:08. | |
I like that that we have no evidence. You cannot prove that it | :25:09. | :25:15. | |
isn't! The new book Jane Austen At Home is out now and you can watch | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
Lucy's documentary Jane Austen: Behind Closed Doors this Saturday at | :25:20. | :25:21. | |
nine o'clock on BBC Two. I haven't told you, but we've been | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
invited to a fancy dress party. I'm going as a tortoise | :25:26. | :25:28. | |
and I'm planning to turn up I've got a question for you. What is | :25:29. | :25:56. | |
139 years old, is still alive and was bought in Woolworths? The answer | :25:57. | :26:03. | |
is Matilda the tortoise and I have got a date with the old girl. | :26:04. | :26:09. | |
Matilda lives here at the International Tortoise Association | :26:10. | :26:16. | |
based in Cardiff in the home of founding member and over stone MBE. | :26:17. | :26:22. | |
Today is a big day in their calendar. It is waking up time for | :26:23. | :26:29. | |
the 600 tortoise is who have spent their winter snoozing in a home-made | :26:30. | :26:39. | |
walk-in fridge. Owners from all over the UK bring their tortoises to | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
hibernate here every winter. This is Darwin. Come on, how to come. She is | :26:44. | :26:52. | |
just waking up and give her some time and she will be back to normal. | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
Most of them are going back to their owners but one old lady is here for | :26:58. | :27:04. | |
the long haul. This is Matilda. She hatched when Benjamin Disraeli was | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
Prime Minister, Queen Victoria was still on the throne and today she is | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
waking up after at least her 130th hibernation. Come on. Hello. How | :27:14. | :27:21. | |
long will it take her to wake up? It will take a little bit longer than a | :27:22. | :27:25. | |
younger tortoise. There is no hurrying her. It could be two days | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
before she is actually eating but we will give her a nice warm bath and | :27:31. | :27:36. | |
help the situation along. She is a grand old lady and very precious | :27:37. | :27:41. | |
cargo so I will put her down carefully. She has been kept at a | :27:42. | :27:46. | |
steady 4 degrees for hibernation but it is just as important to carefully | :27:47. | :28:09. | |
manage their environment when they are awake. They obviously need light | :28:10. | :28:12. | |
and heat but they need the right type? They need heat at at least 30 | :28:13. | :28:15. | |
degrees so they can move but they also need ultraviolet light. This | :28:16. | :28:18. | |
help keeps the shell is strong and they cannot survive without it. | :28:19. | :28:20. | |
Richard helps UK border forced to check for illegal imports. This has | :28:21. | :28:22. | |
any adequate shell which is caused by poor lighting and inadequate | :28:23. | :28:26. | |
diet. The owners do not know how to look after their pet? Absolutely | :28:27. | :28:31. | |
right, they do not check with the local vet or pet shop to check the | :28:32. | :28:35. | |
requirements of this particular breed. The sanctuary is a rescue for | :28:36. | :28:49. | |
abandoned and mistreated tortoises. They also help owners. It is more | :28:50. | :28:55. | |
difficult than you think. Some people just put them in the airing | :28:56. | :29:01. | |
cupboard. They are the experts on tortoises. We know they will be | :29:02. | :29:06. | |
looked after well. It is quite traumatic for Darwin and asked! | :29:07. | :29:12. | |
There she is! We have to bath her and give her some food. We will | :29:13. | :29:18. | |
encourage her to eat. You look at these guys and they are peaceful and | :29:19. | :29:27. | |
content and so happy to be around. I have Joey for you. Here he is! He | :29:28. | :29:35. | |
has done it for another year! 90 years of age and still going strong. | :29:36. | :29:43. | |
Here is to the next 90. So, Matilda is still going strong at | :29:44. | :29:48. | |
139 but there is still some way to go if she is to make it to the grand | :29:49. | :29:56. | |
old age of 185, the age of Jonathan the tortoise. He lives on the island | :29:57. | :30:01. | |
of St Helena. He was a gift from the governor of the island to the | :30:02. | :30:06. | |
Seychelles in 1870. We have a photograph of him when he was in | :30:07. | :30:12. | |
very short trousers from 1900. It is crazy to think he is the world's | :30:13. | :30:16. | |
oldest tortoise and he could live to the age of 250. What was it like for | :30:17. | :30:25. | |
a young tortoise back in the 1830s? He was experiencing the beginning of | :30:26. | :30:28. | |
the Industrial Revolution. Things were happening like the sewing | :30:29. | :30:33. | |
machine was patented and the lawn mower was invented. All of which | :30:34. | :30:38. | |
would have changed his life hugely! In this country people were about to | :30:39. | :30:42. | |
get the vote. The reform act was being passed. A time of big change. | :30:43. | :30:50. | |
Got going on. Very soon we'll be chatting to Gyles | :30:51. | :30:53. | |
all about Sir Roger Moore; the star, of course, of seven James Bond films | :30:54. | :30:56. | |
- more than any other actor. But first here's the story | :30:57. | :30:59. | |
behind a little-known film It did feature one of his co-stars | :31:00. | :31:02. | |
however, see if you can spot who. Mega monsters have long been part of | :31:03. | :31:13. | |
Hollywood history. They have been terrifying cinema audiences for | :31:14. | :31:19. | |
generations. British movie makers decided to get in on the act with | :31:20. | :31:26. | |
disastrous consequences. The film was Konga, it featured a giant | :31:27. | :31:30. | |
gorilla. This monster movie is reckoned to be one of the worst | :31:31. | :31:32. | |
films made in the history of cinema. With its budget, special effects and | :31:33. | :31:49. | |
over the top script, Konga tells the story of Dr Charles Decker played by | :31:50. | :31:58. | |
British actor Michael Goth. I'm your master, you must obey me. Returning | :31:59. | :32:02. | |
from Africa, he arrives in London with a baby chimpanzee named Konga. | :32:03. | :32:08. | |
He sets about experimenting with his botanical speciums to find a serum | :32:09. | :32:13. | |
that will transform Konga from the size of a chimp to the size of a | :32:14. | :32:17. | |
gourd ril lachlt In a little while the certificate yum will begin to | :32:18. | :32:33. | |
take effect. It works. The romantic lead was played by Jes Conrad. It | :32:34. | :32:38. | |
was going to be a remain of King Kong. I was going to sing my latest | :32:39. | :32:45. | |
hit in the film. The song in question was This Pullover, which | :32:46. | :32:50. | |
the producers thought was too much and dropped it from the film You | :32:51. | :32:56. | |
would have Konga, the world's worst horror film with me singing the | :32:57. | :33:01. | |
world's worst record. What a mistake that was cutting it out of the film. | :33:02. | :33:06. | |
They should have left it in. Did it disappoint you the film wasn't a big | :33:07. | :33:10. | |
hit as it was hoped for? Years later it came back with a big cult | :33:11. | :33:17. | |
following. It's amazing the general public, the public that love films | :33:18. | :33:22. | |
love Konga. His character was killed off by Konga, but the actor playing | :33:23. | :33:28. | |
the gorilla was never credited. Who was the mystery man behind the mask? | :33:29. | :33:40. | |
Konga, we've tracked you down. The producer thought it was a real | :33:41. | :33:46. | |
gorilla so I was never billed. With when he brought visitors into the | :33:47. | :33:50. | |
studio I had to sit-in the cage eating a with a in a ya, something | :33:51. | :33:54. | |
like that. He would bring them in, show them around. Someone would | :33:55. | :34:00. | |
shout "someone has left the cage open" I would then push it open. Had | :34:01. | :34:04. | |
you played a a stern before? No. I had played a lot of villains. I | :34:05. | :34:11. | |
wonder why? There's one last member of the cast we managed to track | :34:12. | :34:15. | |
down, another uncredited actor. Could he have predicted his and the | :34:16. | :34:23. | |
film's future? Psyche, that's how. When you made the film, did you | :34:24. | :34:26. | |
think it would work? Nobody thought it would work, we didn't think it | :34:27. | :34:30. | |
would be released. The director would come in and say - look, | :34:31. | :34:35. | |
there's Konga. He's coming at you. We had to go, ah! We would do this a | :34:36. | :34:48. | |
lot. Oh. He said, "stop that, stop laughing, you're actors!" For the | :34:49. | :34:55. | |
film's finale, Konga, now now at gigantic proportions, turned turns | :34:56. | :34:59. | |
on the doctor and rampages on the streets of London before meeting his | :35:00. | :35:04. | |
demise. Although he dies on screen, he continued to live on, | :35:05. | :35:08. | |
entertaining audiences for more than 50 years. Konga, let me down. In a | :35:09. | :35:17. | |
film so bad, it's really good. It is true that though, isn't it? I need | :35:18. | :35:22. | |
to see it. I would watch that. Did you recognise the bond villain. The | :35:23. | :35:28. | |
association with Roger Moore. Steven Berkoff who was the villain in | :35:29. | :35:34. | |
Octopussy the penultimate bond film that Royal Marines We are talking | :35:35. | :35:36. | |
made. About Sir Roger Moore because he passed away yesterday? He died | :35:37. | :35:42. | |
yesterday in his 90th year. He led, a long, full, rich life. I was | :35:43. | :35:45. | |
privileged to be aware of him from the age of ten. He was in the army, | :35:46. | :35:50. | |
after the war, one of his best friends in in the army was a man | :35:51. | :35:57. | |
called Arthur Douch. He taught me in prep school. I was excited to tell | :35:58. | :36:02. | |
my friends at school the man who was the Saint, I know him. He was so | :36:03. | :36:10. | |
charmingly self-deprecating. When he met me he said, we have in common | :36:11. | :36:16. | |
that we starred as knitwear model. I'm an international star, but you | :36:17. | :36:20. | |
don't seem to have done quite so well. He thought he would help me | :36:21. | :36:24. | |
out by giving me a drama lesson. I said, teach me. I will teach you how | :36:25. | :36:29. | |
to raise your eyebrow. He taught me how to raise my left eyebrow. We | :36:30. | :36:34. | |
worked on it together. It's not bad. I couldn't get my right eyebrow to | :36:35. | :36:40. | |
go up. He could do both. He said this explains it, I'm twice the | :36:41. | :36:44. | |
actor I was. A lot of tributes said he was a much better actor than he | :36:45. | :36:51. | |
let on? He was a finele actor. He had been at RADA. He was offered a | :36:52. | :36:57. | |
job at Strafford upon Avon. He chose to go to Hollywood because he wanted | :36:58. | :37:04. | |
to be a film star. When asked what he brought to the bond films he | :37:05. | :37:10. | |
would say, white teeth. He was in a film called Wild Geese he asked the | :37:11. | :37:16. | |
producers to reduce the number of lines he had in the scenes he was in | :37:17. | :37:23. | |
with Richard Burton because he didn't feel he was in the same | :37:24. | :37:27. | |
league, but watch the film he is in the same league. The man who played | :37:28. | :37:32. | |
Q came in and was given this new bit of script. Desmond Llewelyn was old | :37:33. | :37:39. | |
then. He looked at the script. He learnt it over the lunch, to do the | :37:40. | :37:44. | |
lines. He discovered it was a little joke from Royal Marines who had | :37:45. | :37:49. | |
rewritten it to tease him. So much of his life was filled with | :37:50. | :37:54. | |
charitiability activities. Work with Unicef particularly? Unicef was | :37:55. | :37:59. | |
important to him. He enjoyed doing the film and loved the trappings. He | :38:00. | :38:03. | |
made his fortune through doing The Saint help was the co-producer. When | :38:04. | :38:10. | |
it turned into colour he shared in the profitability. He was enormously | :38:11. | :38:13. | |
generous. He made a lot of money, gave away a | :38:14. | :38:17. | |
lot of money. Gave so much of his time to Unicef in later years. He | :38:18. | :38:22. | |
was a lovely human being. Only big international star who never refused | :38:23. | :38:26. | |
to give an autograph. A charming story of a little boy who got his | :38:27. | :38:34. | |
auto at Nice Airport and was disappointed to see Royal Marines. I | :38:35. | :38:39. | |
thought it was James Bond. Dad went back and he said, he wanted James | :38:40. | :38:44. | |
Bond. He said, I've written Royal Marines, I am James Bond, I don't | :38:45. | :38:51. | |
want Blowvelt to know. It's fascinating to hear more about Royal | :38:52. | :38:53. | |
Marines. Before we see your photos | :38:54. | :38:57. | |
of you and Sir Roger, here's Larry Lamb and his son George | :38:58. | :39:03. | |
attempting to recreate a photo that It's a significant pack picture. | :39:04. | :39:10. | |
That is when we started up as a financialily living in that flat | :39:11. | :39:16. | |
high up over West London. It must have been about 1981. Some hat I've | :39:17. | :39:21. | |
got. Some hat. Do you think granny made that. Definite. It would be fun | :39:22. | :39:27. | |
to go back and have a look and see if we can maybe recreate this photo. | :39:28. | :39:37. | |
This is North End Road. I have the fondest memories of growing up here. | :39:38. | :39:41. | |
Have them on the house. We have to pay for them. Go on. Dad was | :39:42. | :39:47. | |
starting to be on telly. You would go down and they were like "all | :39:48. | :39:54. | |
right, Larry." Your old man. He was more like that than I am. I remember | :39:55. | :39:58. | |
being knee high and running through legs. Everybody shouting hello. I | :39:59. | :40:02. | |
remember the first time I let him out on his own, there was a news | :40:03. | :40:07. | |
agent where he could buy a comic and sweets and let him go to do it on | :40:08. | :40:11. | |
his own. That was it. That was the beginning of the end, really. I had | :40:12. | :40:15. | |
not had a good relationship with my father, which was, you know, not | :40:16. | :40:19. | |
surprising then that he had a terrible relationship with his | :40:20. | :40:23. | |
father and it all gets passed on and on. And George's mum made sure I | :40:24. | :40:30. | |
didn't replicate that once again. She made me understand if I tried to | :40:31. | :40:34. | |
bully and dominate that boy the way my father had bullied and dominated | :40:35. | :40:37. | |
me that it would blow back in my face, the same way it had blown back | :40:38. | :40:42. | |
in my father's face. In the end we didn't speak to each other for | :40:43. | :40:46. | |
years. I'm fortunate that I finished up as close as you could possibly be | :40:47. | :40:50. | |
in terms of a son and a father relationship. That was my bedroom. | :40:51. | :40:54. | |
That was the living room that went all the way through. Yeah. Wow. | :40:55. | :41:00. | |
Look. They've changed it. This used to be inside the flat. Inside. That | :41:01. | :41:06. | |
was our way up on to the roof? Little stairs and another one like | :41:07. | :41:11. | |
this. A door out. That was our escape route. On to the roof and our | :41:12. | :41:16. | |
haven up above Fulham. Now it's all changed. You could get up there. See | :41:17. | :41:21. | |
if that opens up. That would be the same view back there, won't it? | :41:22. | :41:24. | |
Watch your head, mate. Come on. All right? Yeah. It's harder when your' | :41:25. | :41:30. | |
nearly 70. So many guys don't know how to be dads and they end up | :41:31. | :41:34. | |
having really messed up relationships with their sons. I'm | :41:35. | :41:37. | |
lucky to have the relationship I do with my dad. Sometime I will talk to | :41:38. | :41:41. | |
my dad in a taxi and the cab driver is like, don't mind me asking, who | :41:42. | :41:46. | |
were you talking to? I said, I'm talking to my dad. I hope my son | :41:47. | :41:50. | |
talks to me like that one day. We are buddies. My baby boy. I can | :41:51. | :41:58. | |

wonder of life. We've changed places. I've moved on. I'm getting | :42:07. | :42:11. | |
to be an Oldboy. He's the age that I was then. Life goes in these | :42:12. | :42:17. | |
extraordinary circles. It's wonderful. Lovely. Sweet. Glad I | :42:18. | :42:26. | |
