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.

still lift him up. Let's not try it so close to the edge. You are a

:41:59.:42:03.

lump. To look at this photo in this place. So significant. That's the

:42:04.:42:06.

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.

didn't sign the form to go out on that ledge.

:42:27.:42:29.

Thanks to Gloria, Rip Off Britain Food starts on Monday.

:42:30.:42:33.

:42:38.:42:43.

The One Show is back tomorrow at 7.00pm, but we'll end

:42:44.:42:45.

tonight with your memories of Sir Roger Moore and,

:42:46.:42:47.

I think it's fair to say - nobody did it better!

:42:48.:42:50.

You made your name with that film, did you not? My name was always

:42:51.:42:58.

Roger Moore. A lady with white hair came up and said, "what are you

:42:59.:43:09.

doing in Vience" I said, "we're making a film, 007, James Bond

:43:10.:43:17.

film." What do you do?" Hi David, it's Roger Moore, I used to be an

:43:18.:43:21.

actor. You can call me darling. Fill her up, please. Your favourite bond

:43:22.:43:29.

film other than your own? Were there any?

:43:30.:43:42.

Hello, I'm Alex Bushell with your 90 second update.

:43:43.:43:45.

Police says they are investigating a terror "network" following Monday
