:01:00. > :01:06.Is there anybody watching? We are on BBC Two! Have you been on BBC

:01:06. > :01:12.Two before? BBC to Wales. How does this field? A lot different. Thank

:01:12. > :01:17.you for tuning into The One Show with Alex and myself. Tonight we

:01:17. > :01:24.have a fashionable guessed. He is the man who tells people what to

:01:24. > :01:31.wear. He also get them to strip naked in front of strangers. After

:01:31. > :01:38.that, they still love him. He also topped the sexiest celebrity in

:01:38. > :01:48.spectacles list. I didn't enter. Guess who came 5th! The tears Gok

:01:48. > :01:55.

:01:55. > :02:02.Wan, everyone! -- It is. He is beautiful, he is Gok Wan. Thank you.

:02:02. > :02:07.How are you? Look at this, check me out for the summer. We heard that

:02:07. > :02:11.every Sunday night you get on your computer and you plan what you are

:02:11. > :02:16.going to wear for the next seven days. Is that right? It is. I have

:02:16. > :02:21.the worst OCD when it comes to clothes so everything is organised.

:02:21. > :02:26.I have to be very prepared. If I haven't sorted out my outfit, it

:02:26. > :02:31.has happened twice in my entire life, I can't sleep. I have to wake

:02:31. > :02:36.up about four hours early because it has to be planned. Owing you

:02:36. > :02:44.what I was wearing today a week ago. I have the opposite of that problem,

:02:44. > :02:50.I just don't care. You can't tell. How low down was that! You called

:02:51. > :02:54.me unfashionable. It was a slip of the Tonk! This is 65 year-old

:02:54. > :02:58.American businessman who has sparked a row about airline dress

:02:58. > :03:04.code when he was allowed to fly wearing this lovely outfit. I can't

:03:04. > :03:09.believe you have got a picture of my dad! I think if I was flying and

:03:09. > :03:13.he walked onto the airplane, I would not be flying that day. I

:03:13. > :03:17.think he would terrify me slightly, and I love the drag-queen. The you

:03:17. > :03:23.have an idea he was trying to smuggle something, don't you?

:03:23. > :03:33.budgie. I have no idea what that means. Gok is here to talk about

:03:33. > :03:36.

:03:36. > :03:41.the paper -- paperback of York are to bear if -- of your autobiography.

:03:41. > :03:46.Here are some of the photos of the mud at Glastonbury. This is on

:03:46. > :03:53.Wednesday before a guitar was plugged in. They have still got

:03:53. > :03:56.five days to go there! He would just want to go home! That is a

:03:56. > :04:00.kind of four by former crows in the frame. She is going the opposite

:04:00. > :04:07.way to everyone else but I am sure she is having a great time. This is

:04:07. > :04:12.the ultimate. Is there a human being inside that mud? Are you a

:04:12. > :04:17.festival boy? I went to a festival once. You have heard about my it

:04:17. > :04:23.OCD with clothes, so I don't like going anywhere I can't plug in a

:04:23. > :04:28.hair dryer or use a credit card. I went once and I lasted about 45

:04:28. > :04:34.seconds and slept in the back of my car. I don't even like nature. I

:04:34. > :04:39.hate mud, I hate dirt. I like concrete and shops. What is the one

:04:39. > :04:43.thing you think people should take with them? By the looks of it, on

:04:43. > :04:47.umbrella. In was supposed to be nice this weekend. Personally, I

:04:47. > :04:53.find it hard to get the festival thing. Music is wonderful, but

:04:53. > :05:02.their idea of not being able to wash or go to the toilet for four

:05:02. > :05:08.days... When I come to BBC Two, everybody! How about some of your

:05:08. > :05:13.classic festival photographs? will show some of the best later in

:05:13. > :05:17.the show. If you are not at Glastonbury this weekend, how about

:05:17. > :05:22.joining the thousands who have already taken up hi-tech treasure

:05:22. > :05:26.hunting? Anyone can do it, it is called geocaching and involves

:05:26. > :05:29.looking for hidden packages all over the world. Tonight we are

:05:29. > :05:35.going to be having our own geocaching challenge with a very

:05:35. > :05:40.special guest. But first, here is Alex Riley in Wales with a crash

:05:40. > :05:44.course. I have heard about a new kind of Treasure Hunt called

:05:44. > :05:53.geocaching and I am on a quest to find out more. It is something to

:05:53. > :05:57.do with using GPS receivers. I have been given some cordon it's that

:05:57. > :06:02.have brought me to this spot on the Brecon Beacons and I am going to

:06:02. > :06:07.meet a family who can tell me all about it. How do you go geocaching?

:06:07. > :06:15.You go on to the website, put in the place you want to go, and it

:06:15. > :06:21.comes up as co-ordinate. You put it into your GPS, you get a map.

:06:21. > :06:28.think I know what we are doing so let's go and find it. That is the

:06:28. > :06:38.box, so it is slightly somewhere over here on the right. How big

:06:38. > :06:39.

:06:39. > :06:45.will it be? Maybe about the size of a sandwich. No, OK. What do like

:06:45. > :06:51.most about geocaching? You get to go on a country walk and it is

:06:51. > :06:55.really fun. What is the appeal for you, Simon? It gets us out in the

:06:55. > :07:01.fresh air and to places I wouldn't normally have chosen to go to.

:07:01. > :07:07.Probably in those rocks. They are small plastic box. What have we got

:07:07. > :07:12.in there? A quarter dollar. Is that chocolate? Do you register the fact

:07:12. > :07:21.you have found this in some way? Yes, we write it in here what we

:07:21. > :07:30.took and what we left. We left a pair of scissors. There are 1.4

:07:30. > :07:36.million geocaching spot in Britain alone. I have found one here. I am

:07:36. > :07:40.about to meet David Schofield who knows a lot about finding them and

:07:40. > :07:50.he makes them as well. The first one hidden in Wales was made by him.

:07:50. > :07:51.

:07:51. > :07:59.We have ones that are accessible to disabled users ranging to the other

:07:59. > :08:05.extreme. We have some on bridge spans which you have to abseil, and

:08:05. > :08:11.also scuba-diving geocaching. get the final co-ordinate and when

:08:11. > :08:17.you get there you have to search around. Can we find it? You will

:08:17. > :08:26.need some equipment. So I am going in there? This is where it is.

:08:26. > :08:34.this extreme geocaching? It is, at its best. Gigantic. It could be

:08:34. > :08:39.anywhere around here. It is not in there, is it? Hello! What is your

:08:39. > :08:46.first impression of geocaching then? I preferred the one when it

:08:46. > :08:52.was a nice country hike. Is it in here? Yes, you are very close now.

:08:52. > :08:59.Hello! I have got one. People have written little messages, some have

:08:59. > :09:03.put stickers in. "cracking place, which I had a better torch".

:09:03. > :09:08.Geocaching seems to be a great way of motivating yourself to get out

:09:08. > :09:13.of the house, but the treasure is also in the stuff you experience

:09:13. > :09:19.along the way. How the hell do we get out of this place? Pretty good,

:09:19. > :09:25.and that has inspired us to hold our very own geocaching challenge.

:09:25. > :09:34.We have hidden are Roman treasure. Let's see who has got the clues.

:09:34. > :09:41.Hang on, it can't be... That is the bottom of the jumpsuit. Would she

:09:41. > :09:48.do it for us? She would! It is Anneka Rice. Hello! This is so

:09:48. > :09:52.exciting. Is that one of the original suits? It is. I am

:09:52. > :09:58.slightly traumatised that Gok is with you in the studio because I

:09:58. > :10:04.would have won a bin-liner and covered my entire body up. Anneka,

:10:04. > :10:07.you were my first ever girl crushed. I loved you. You were my first

:10:07. > :10:13.introduction to a girl's bottom running out of the helicopter, so.

:10:13. > :10:18.You very much. How I am glad I help your child could initiation. I am

:10:18. > :10:24.just sorry I swan knew the wrong way! I don't think it was

:10:24. > :10:29.necessarily down to you, arnica! Don't be so hard on yourself.

:10:29. > :10:34.want a T-shirt saying Anneka Rice turned me gay! Please don't spread

:10:35. > :10:43.that around. I want to make men red-blooded and lost all. It is BBC

:10:43. > :10:48.Two, we can be racy. It is collapsing. It must be lovely

:10:48. > :10:51.tonight to be looking after the treasure instead of hunting for it.

:10:51. > :10:57.This is so pleasant. If it wasn't pouring with rain, we would have

:10:57. > :11:01.laid down a picnic, had a bottle of champagne. We would be hammering it

:11:01. > :11:06.but unfortunately it is pouring with rain. It is very nice, I don't

:11:06. > :11:10.have to do anything tonight. I have set a treasure hunt and it is up to

:11:10. > :11:15.the viewers at home to listen to the court a net and see if you can

:11:15. > :11:20.get to this clue, which is me actually, in the hour that this

:11:20. > :11:30.show is on. That is the main premise of the programme. You can

:11:30. > :11:33.

:11:33. > :11:38.use sat-nav, G Pearce, an old- fashioned map. -- GPS. Just make

:11:38. > :11:48.sure that you can get to us in the hour of the programme. We want to

:11:48. > :11:51.

:11:51. > :11:55.watch the rest of the tennis! Here are the co-ordinate its. -- co-

:11:55. > :12:05.ordinates. This is your chance to win a fantastic prize. It is The

:12:05. > :12:21.

:12:21. > :12:27.One Show so it won't be that That probably means absolutely

:12:27. > :12:32.nothing to anyone in the studio. Does it? I think we have got a bit

:12:32. > :12:37.of degrees, a bit of minutes, a bit of longitude and latitude. A quick

:12:37. > :12:44.clue - we are in the city where the mighty Concorde was built in the

:12:44. > :12:48.1960s. We will come back to you later in the programme so get

:12:48. > :12:53.solving the clue, and hopefully we will see some of you viewers before

:12:53. > :13:00.8 o'clock. The best thing is to get a seat

:13:00. > :13:03.arnica live in that jumpsuit. a bit star-struck. Time to meet a

:13:03. > :13:09.man who is very brave. How many of us would step in if we saw someone

:13:09. > :13:14.attacked, really? Wendy Robbins has met someone who faced that snap

:13:14. > :13:19.decision, one that took him to an ordinary man -- from an ordinary

:13:19. > :13:24.man to a superhero. My name is Michael Seery. I am 71 years old.

:13:24. > :13:33.One day, when I was in my local bookmakers, an armed robber entered.

:13:33. > :13:37.My decision was to do something Michael has had a busy life, a

:13:37. > :13:41.career in the army followed by a stint in the oil business, bringing

:13:41. > :13:44.adventure around the globe. He has earned an easy retirement, but as

:13:44. > :13:48.you will see, he is still a man of action, despite the fact that 13

:13:48. > :13:54.years ago he was told he was terminally ill with a tumour on his

:13:54. > :14:00.lungs. My doctor at the time informed me that my life span was a

:14:00. > :14:06.matter of weeks. But he did say to me that miracles do happen. In my

:14:06. > :14:12.case, thankfully, here I am, 13 years down the line, and I am still

:14:12. > :14:16.around. I am amazed that, despite still being wheezy and short of

:14:16. > :14:20.breath, he took on an armed robber. He showed me the betting shop

:14:20. > :14:24.across the road where it happened. I was sitting in this chair,

:14:24. > :14:30.waiting for my friends to turn up, when I was aware of the door being

:14:30. > :14:37.flung open behind me. I did not pay much attention to it. I looked up

:14:37. > :14:41.and heard somebody shout, give me the bloody money. He started to

:14:41. > :14:47.smash the screens around the two Cashier's behind the counter. The

:14:47. > :14:51.Lady screamed. I rushed up, carrying a chair and I hit the chap

:14:51. > :14:57.over the back with that. He staggered round and turned to face

:14:57. > :15:03.me. At this stage, I did not know he was armed, so we struggled. I

:15:03. > :15:07.did not manage to overpower him. -- I did manage to overpower him and I

:15:08. > :15:13.had him on the floor face down. I shouted to the girls, I have got

:15:13. > :15:19.him. He did stand up. We struggled further, at which stage I became

:15:19. > :15:27.fully aware of the knife, because it entered into my side. He stabbed

:15:27. > :15:31.you? Yes. The problem I had is that I am blind in the left eye, and at

:15:31. > :15:36.the time I had a cataract in my right eye. So you could not see

:15:36. > :15:40.anything. It was a blur, and out line. He stabbed me in the thigh to

:15:40. > :15:46.begin with, and that happened before I overcame him. I could feel

:15:46. > :15:54.the blood running down the inside of my leg. Then he stabbed me in

:15:54. > :15:58.the side. As he ran from the shop, the Home it fell off. The girls

:15:58. > :16:03.recognised him as somebody who had been in the shop, which proved his

:16:03. > :16:08.undoing. The thief was caught by the police and sentenced to nine

:16:08. > :16:14.years. My initial reaction was to clean up. When they arrived with

:16:15. > :16:18.medics, I was tidying. Despite two stab wounds. It looks funny in

:16:18. > :16:22.retrospect but that is what happened. But that is the question

:16:22. > :16:26.people keep asking when they see the tape. Why were you cleaning the

:16:26. > :16:34.shop? He may have tried to literally brush-off the incident,

:16:34. > :16:40.but his wife was not quite as cool headed. One of his friends that he

:16:40. > :16:47.meets over there, he came across and told me that Michael had been

:16:47. > :16:57.stabbed. What do you remember feeling? I felt numb, scared. I

:16:57. > :16:59.

:16:59. > :17:09.thought, what do I do? I suppose he is my hero. Did he have to hear

:17:09. > :17:12.

:17:12. > :17:18.that. Did you hear that? Her hero. He does not see what the fuss is

:17:18. > :17:23.about. Despite receiving accolades, he says it was the caveman in him.

:17:23. > :17:27.No bravery attached. It is primordial, it is in the genes of

:17:27. > :17:32.most red-blooded males, but they must protect the ladies. That makes

:17:32. > :17:36.it automatic when such things happen. Great, absolutely brilliant

:17:36. > :17:41.story, Top man. All about protection, stepping up to the

:17:41. > :17:47.plate if you are needed. Your book is about that, isn't it? People not

:17:47. > :17:50.stepping in and helping. Yes, it was hard to write it because I was

:17:50. > :17:56.not sure I wanted to tell the story because a lot of the stuff in there,

:17:56. > :18:00.it was the first time I discussed it with any family or friends. I

:18:00. > :18:03.suppose, in contrast to the film, I was not very brave when I was

:18:03. > :18:07.growing up. I was afraid of admitting that I was bullied,

:18:07. > :18:12.admitting I was worried that people did not like me. I was worried

:18:12. > :18:17.about being mixed race and being gay, and very overweight. And I was

:18:17. > :18:22.really afraid of that. In fact, I was probably the least brave person.

:18:22. > :18:28.But you should not have to be brave when you're a kid. You think that,

:18:28. > :18:32.but you are told you have to be a certain way. I felt I had to prove

:18:32. > :18:36.myself to my family, mainly, and my friends, who were adorable and

:18:36. > :18:40.wonderful. But it was the outside world. Friends and family were

:18:40. > :18:47.great but I felt the outside world hated me, picked on me and called

:18:47. > :18:52.me names and pinched and poked. And then it stopped for a little while,

:18:52. > :18:56.but it happened again when I was an adult. So I had this roller-coaster

:18:56. > :19:02.of people thinking, me thinking that people hated me. It was a

:19:02. > :19:06.tough time. It was really upsetting to write. You are brave to write it,

:19:06. > :19:10.but I think you are braver than you think. Even though you speak about

:19:10. > :19:15.being bullied, you turned it around. You speak about her trip to a

:19:15. > :19:19.clothing shop which we cannot mention, and you gave yourself the

:19:19. > :19:25.first makeover. From there, you became stronger and stronger.

:19:25. > :19:29.it was like my superhero costume. I was fed up with being called Gay

:19:29. > :19:34.and fat, and I figured, I am going to create this aesthetic, just like

:19:34. > :19:39.what I do for a living now, create this aesthetic that your comments

:19:39. > :19:43.and you're punching will just rebound from. It worked. I never

:19:43. > :19:48.realised I was doing my first makeover on myself. It proves to me,

:19:48. > :19:52.when people say clothing and image is materialistic, it is not. You

:19:52. > :19:58.can prove to yourself just how confident you are, because it gives

:19:58. > :20:04.you some armour. So that happened, and it was an interesting time.

:20:04. > :20:14.Let's have a look at you as a child. Are you very small, all the glasses

:20:14. > :20:15.

:20:15. > :20:23.very big? They are my dad's glasses. I desperately wanted to be my dad.

:20:23. > :20:29.And them. This issue at what age? Probably eight or nine. I have got

:20:29. > :20:35.big and round. I had a haircut like that. Were you eating because you

:20:35. > :20:41.were worried? Did you realise you were panicked eating? I came from a

:20:41. > :20:44.family of caterers, so we is -- we were surrounded by food. And with

:20:44. > :20:48.my dad being Chinese, food is symbolic for everything, anything

:20:48. > :20:52.you are celebrating or commiserating, there is food

:20:52. > :20:56.involved. So I was just enjoying the process of eating. As I got

:20:56. > :21:00.older and the bullying started and I was really overweight, and it was

:21:00. > :21:04.the food that made me overweight, I sought comfort in the food. I would

:21:04. > :21:09.take a bite from food and it would make me feel comforted, but I got

:21:09. > :21:13.bigger and bigger until I hit 21 stone. You have a complex

:21:13. > :21:19.relationship with food, but in your autobiography, you have recipes at

:21:19. > :21:24.the front of nearly every chapter. I love of food. I have a love

:21:24. > :21:28.affair with eating and catering. I think later in the book I talk

:21:28. > :21:33.about going from being a piece to having anorexia. My relationship

:21:33. > :21:37.has always been complex, too much and then too little. When you have

:21:37. > :21:42.an eating disorder, it stays with you forever. But I have made peace

:21:42. > :21:45.with food, and I understand it. Thank goodness, because it is over

:21:45. > :21:48.to Jay. We are talking about Wimbledon

:21:49. > :21:56.fortnight and it might make you think of the Williams sisters. For

:21:56. > :22:00.me, it means some other top seeded smashers - strawberries.

:22:00. > :22:04.It is not a British summer without Wimbledon, and as tennis fever

:22:04. > :22:12.takes hold, the caterers work furiously to serve half a million

:22:12. > :22:17.visitors with a massive 28,000 kilos of strawberries. And this is

:22:17. > :22:24.where they start. We are in Kent, the Garden of England. This farm

:22:24. > :22:29.supplies the entire strawberry needs of Wimbledon. This year, the

:22:29. > :22:32.strawberry has produced a bumper crop. We are made Harvest, at the

:22:32. > :22:38.height of Wimbledon fortnight, and making sure the punnets are filled

:22:38. > :22:41.is nothing short of a military exercise. Picking starts at 5am,

:22:41. > :22:47.and the harvest is chilled overnight before loading the

:22:47. > :22:51.following morning for the journey to London. But when Wimbledon

:22:51. > :22:59.orders an extra load, like today, the rush to get more strawberries

:22:59. > :23:02.from the field to the tennis courts is really on. We keep picking, both

:23:02. > :23:07.before and after, but the height of the season is Wimbledon fortnight

:23:07. > :23:11.or. In these two weeks, it is really significant for us.

:23:11. > :23:16.Wimbledon like a classic English strawberry. We grow a variety

:23:16. > :23:21.called El Santa. It is not very big and crunchy, so you can balance it

:23:21. > :23:26.in a bowl on your knee and eat it with a teaspoon. And it is very

:23:26. > :23:30.sweet and juicy. The weather has given this lot a helping hand.

:23:30. > :23:36.Strawberries thrive on warm days and caul nights. Unlike many other

:23:36. > :23:39.crops, conditions this spring have been perfect for them. I think it

:23:39. > :23:43.is contributing to the high sugar level in the fruit. It was also

:23:43. > :23:47.very good for pollinators, so we had lots of bees flying and it was

:23:47. > :23:56.very good for a perfect shaped strawberries. My first taste of

:23:56. > :24:02.this year's crop. It is firm but not overly hard or crisper. Sweet,

:24:02. > :24:09.bit of acidity, tang of strawberry. You grow rather good strawberries,

:24:09. > :24:14.don't you? Thank you. Time to take my own punnet to Wimbledon. The

:24:14. > :24:19.tennis championship began here in 1887, but SW19's love-affair with

:24:19. > :24:26.strawberries and cream is thick -- recorded long before that. Eaten at

:24:26. > :24:30.fashionable early summer social gatherings. Here you are, united

:24:30. > :24:33.with your true soulmate. Even further back, it is said that

:24:33. > :24:39.Cardinal Wolsey was the first to put the combination together in

:24:39. > :24:41.Tudor times. Originally, Derry was considered pauper's food, but

:24:42. > :24:46.Cardinal Wolsey thought it was better than that and first-served

:24:46. > :24:51.strawberries with cream at the Court of Henry the eighth. But why

:24:51. > :24:57.has the tradition been so enduring? It is part of Wimbledon, part of

:24:58. > :25:04.the day out. Very nice, very sweet, loads of sugar. Somebody said you

:25:05. > :25:06.have to have Pym's and strawberries and cream, so I am documenting it.

:25:06. > :25:15.Behind the scenes, frenetic activity to get the strawberries on

:25:15. > :25:19.sale. These are the very ones we saw leaving the farm at 7am. Those

:25:19. > :25:23.early tennis fans had the right idea. The acidity of the strawberry

:25:23. > :25:26.cuts through the richness of the cream. As doubles pairings go, it

:25:26. > :25:30.is good to know there will be won British champion at Wimbledon every

:25:30. > :25:35.year. By the way, Andy Murray is still on

:25:35. > :25:41.BBC One but we are not allowed to mention it. What have you got?

:25:41. > :25:47.one of these little pills. Because we are on BBC Two, I can do this.

:25:47. > :25:54.Put it on your tongue. There is a reason for this. Let's talk about

:25:54. > :26:01.these sandwiches. A supermarket has come Obadeyi strawberries and cream

:26:01. > :26:06.sandwich. Do you want one? -- they have come up with a strawberries

:26:06. > :26:10.and cream sandwich. It is about a quarter of the daily intake of

:26:10. > :26:16.calories for women. They claim it is the only sweet sandwich on the

:26:16. > :26:21.market. Apart from the ones that children make themselves. Nobody

:26:21. > :26:27.else is selling them. It is just like a jam sandwich. It is not

:26:27. > :26:31.worth the calories. Look at all the strawberries. We have two

:26:31. > :26:41.interesting varieties. The white ones, they are meant to taste of

:26:41. > :26:49.pineapple. I am the only one eating. They don't taste like pineapples.

:26:49. > :26:53.But they look pretty. These ones are more interesting. They are

:26:53. > :27:00.derived from an old wild strawberry variety, and these are meant to be

:27:00. > :27:04.special. That is lovely. The best strawberries are the wild ones but

:27:04. > :27:14.they are hideously expensive, very small and there are not many.

:27:14. > :27:16.

:27:16. > :27:20.are we dissolving these pills? is called the miracle berry. The

:27:20. > :27:27.idea is that anything sour will taste sweet after eating one of

:27:27. > :27:37.these. Sir have a piece of lime and tell me what it tastes like. Do I

:27:37. > :27:40.

:27:40. > :27:44.keep it in? That is all right. God, it works! It is like putting

:27:44. > :27:52.sugar on grapefruit. It will get sweeter as time goes by. You can

:27:52. > :28:02.prove that they are bitter. Is that a proper lemon? These are not fake,

:28:02. > :28:12.they are real lemons. I have a vinegar here. All of it? I would

:28:12. > :28:15.

:28:15. > :28:20.not! No! Let me smell that. I will have another one. That is proper

:28:20. > :28:24.vinegar. It is an interesting little pale. I have to say that it

:28:25. > :28:29.cannot be sold as a foodstuff. In certain parts of the world, it is

:28:29. > :28:37.used by diabetics because they can eat stuff with lower sugar content.

:28:37. > :28:40.That vinegar was horrible. I did not mind it. I am sweating now.

:28:40. > :28:50.is an extraordinary berry. We liked to bring forward strange things you

:28:50. > :28:51.

:28:51. > :29:01.can do at home. Where were you last week? I cannot say. A welcome back.

:29:01. > :29:02.

:29:02. > :29:12.It is happy Wallace and Gromit Wrong Trousers Day. It is beard day.

:29:12. > :29:22.That was Gok with a beard. I am Chinese and we cannot grow body

:29:22. > :29:22.

:29:22. > :29:27.hair. Happy Bannockburn Dave. Smurfs day. There are cards for

:29:27. > :29:36.everything, is what we are saying. There is a day or a week for

:29:36. > :29:40.everything and it makes Arthur Life today it is an information

:29:40. > :29:47.overload, and on top of everything else there is every increasing list

:29:47. > :29:51.of things to give up or be aware of - from cleavage day, via the loud

:29:51. > :29:56.tie campaign to the rabbit awareness Week. There are now

:29:56. > :30:03.nearly 1000 awareness events a year. It is ridiculous, insane and

:30:03. > :30:09.impossible. Why do we need them? And who is in charge? I am going to

:30:09. > :30:14.year ahead, which keeps a long list of events which they tell to

:30:14. > :30:20.journalists. How do they qualify? Any one can organise an awareness

:30:20. > :30:23.Day. They come about for various different reasons. You can set up a

:30:23. > :30:28.website and it just rolls from itself. As long as the public takes

:30:28. > :30:33.upon it, there is no reason you can't have one. Do they make a

:30:33. > :30:38.difference? They make a massive amount of difference as. Red nose

:30:38. > :30:43.day raised �71 million in one night this year. What is the most

:30:43. > :30:48.ridiculous one you have heard? to national talk like a pirate day.

:30:48. > :30:58.He is good, but first I thought this awareness stuff was rubbish,

:30:58. > :31:04.but now... If you can't beat them, join them. I am going to settle up

:31:04. > :31:10.the Smith awareness Day. I need strategy, branding, a big idea from

:31:10. > :31:17.professionals like the people at National Family week. Hello.

:31:17. > :31:21.Suzanne, I am Arthur. So, awareness, how do we promote it? I feel the

:31:21. > :31:27.world should know more about me? The there is no other agenda? So

:31:28. > :31:32.you want to be more famous? Yes. Why not try and get everybody with

:31:33. > :31:42.the same name together. The areas a urologist who was called Arthur

:31:43. > :31:43.

:31:43. > :31:48.Smith. We could create an online rock. I want to make it clear I am

:31:48. > :31:52.the main Arthur Smith. The more Arthur Smiths you can get together,

:31:52. > :31:56.the more you can think about whether you want to raise money for

:31:56. > :32:06.charity or use it for some good, other than just Euro of infamy.

:32:06. > :32:16.is really my own ego mainly. I love it. I need an awareness guru, and a

:32:16. > :32:17.

:32:17. > :32:23.cuddle. This lady offers both. How can I get my awareness Day going,

:32:23. > :32:28.like you have got you're cuddling day going? It has got to excite

:32:28. > :32:34.people. I am not sure how intriguing I can be, but thank you

:32:34. > :32:38.for your advice. Can I have another couple to get going? Absolutely.

:32:38. > :32:48.Resurge complete, it is time to hit the streets with are the Smith

:32:48. > :33:01.

:33:01. > :33:08.-- Arthur. It is at the Smith awareness Day. It has worked, well

:33:08. > :33:14.done. Are you going to become more aware of me? I am substantially

:33:14. > :33:19.more aware. Just when I was beginning to flag, there it was -

:33:19. > :33:29.more expert advice. It is my fellow... What do you call

:33:29. > :33:33.

:33:33. > :33:39.yourselves? Walkers. You should shout. Everybody, be more aware of

:33:39. > :33:42.me! Do you get a reaction? They look at us and laugh. There was a

:33:43. > :33:48.spring in my step and a thrill in my heart, but it didn't last long,

:33:48. > :33:53.even when I got someone else to hold the sign. I will try again in

:33:53. > :33:59.November, then it will just be me and Guy Fawkes. I might get a few

:33:59. > :34:05.more birthday cards as well. Tomorrow there is a more important

:34:05. > :34:12.day taking place, tomorrow Armed Forces Day. Here to tell us more,

:34:12. > :34:19.Colonel Tim Collins who became a hero of the first Iraq war. Welcome

:34:19. > :34:23.to the programme. Nice to see you. How big is this day? The IT is just

:34:23. > :34:29.getting off the ground, it is the third year. This year we have the

:34:29. > :34:34.main event in Edinburgh and there will be a veteran's village. In

:34:34. > :34:39.Northern Ireland, Carrick Fergus Harbour will have an event, and

:34:39. > :34:43.there are events in Manchester and a pop concert in Hillsborough.

:34:43. > :34:48.this year be better than ever? two still getting off the ground.

:34:48. > :34:52.Armed Forces Day was one of these government things that when the

:34:52. > :34:59.armed forces were told we are going to have a special day for you, we

:34:59. > :35:03.asked so what are you cutting? But it is a free day. Why do you think

:35:03. > :35:08.now the armed forces are much more popular than they were say five

:35:08. > :35:13.years ago? You remember stories about soldiers being spat on in the

:35:13. > :35:19.streets, what has changed? recent conflicts have brought the

:35:19. > :35:23.armed forces into more focused and people realise that the armed

:35:23. > :35:29.forces are the people around you, they have motivated young men and

:35:29. > :35:36.women. My guys, the young hoodies you see on the street have been

:35:36. > :35:39.turned into valued members of society for start do you think

:35:39. > :35:44.these good vibes are getting through to the soldiers on the

:35:44. > :35:50.front line? They are so busy and focused on their jobs, honestly I

:35:50. > :35:55.don't think they really notice. are an ex-Colonel, but do we still

:35:55. > :36:00.call you Colonel? You retire as a colonel so it is an honorary title,

:36:00. > :36:07.I guess. You keep the Colonel? people choose. We will keep it

:36:07. > :36:13.tonight. Have you ever made over any guise or girls in the services?

:36:13. > :36:17.No other. Would you go to Helmand and do it? The course, I am coming

:36:17. > :36:21.over. Only if you let me call you Colonel!

:36:21. > :36:27.It is also Glastonbury this weekend and we asked for some of your

:36:27. > :36:37.and we asked for some of your festival photographs. This is class.

:36:37. > :36:44.

:36:44. > :36:49.taken in 20th June 11. They are ear defenders and not headphones! This

:36:49. > :36:55.was taken into 1005 when there was so much water at Glastonbury that

:36:55. > :37:00.the electricity went off meaning no music and no beer. Steve cent this

:37:00. > :37:07.one end, it was taken at a festival in Bury St Edmunds. Are we missing

:37:07. > :37:09.out on Glastonbury in the mud? Earlier on we gave the precise co-

:37:09. > :37:15.ordinates to a location where ordinates to a location where

:37:15. > :37:20.Anneka Rice has had an some One Show treasure. Is anyone there yet?

:37:20. > :37:24.It is quite hilarious. We have just heard from the local police that

:37:24. > :37:28.traffic is gridlocked around this area and we are hoping it is

:37:28. > :37:32.treasure-hunters on their way, or it could just be the rush-hour. A

:37:32. > :37:37.lot of people have been coming up and saying what are you doing

:37:37. > :37:43.standing in the pouring rain in your jumpsuit? Am going to give you

:37:43. > :37:53.another clue, look at this quickly. If you are sitting at home and you

:37:53. > :37:55.

:37:55. > :37:59.recognise that, come and find us. From arnica, we remember the

:37:59. > :38:04.elephant whose plight under cruel circus handler caused outcry

:38:04. > :38:10.earlier this year. There she is now at Longleat, have you ever seen a

:38:10. > :38:15.happier elephant in your life? I don't think so. As a result of this,

:38:15. > :38:20.MPs voted yesterday for a ban in wild animals in circuses in Great

:38:20. > :38:29.Britain. But over 100 years ago, when you came to the zoo, you

:38:29. > :38:32.didn't go to it, it came to you. Victorian times, in villages like

:38:32. > :38:36.this one in Devon, life was pretty boring so you can imagine the

:38:37. > :38:41.excitement when suddenly there were caged lions and tigers, elephants

:38:41. > :38:46.and poisonous snakes. The travelling menagerie had arrived.

:38:46. > :38:49.In the 19th century, travelling showman Drouin the crowds with

:38:49. > :38:54.their lively colourful shows. Menageries of wild animals

:38:54. > :39:00.travelled through the cities and villages across the country. What

:39:00. > :39:07.might seem cool today and rolled the Victorians. -- what might seem

:39:07. > :39:12.cruel. There were something like 50 horses pulling wagons of wild

:39:12. > :39:17.beasts. How important was it that these were wild animals? They were

:39:17. > :39:21.certainly billed as wild, ferocious Forest bread Lions. That is what

:39:21. > :39:28.people came to see. With the expansion of the British Empire,

:39:28. > :39:34.all kinds of exotic animals began arriving in Britain but taking them

:39:34. > :39:38.on the road was risky. Menageries could be dangerous - in 1849 the

:39:38. > :39:43.nephew of a menagerie owner was killed by an elephant. The

:39:43. > :39:47.coroner's report said the principle wind was in the left groin. The

:39:47. > :39:51.task of the elephants had penetrated through the thigh,

:39:51. > :39:56.separating the muscles and exposing the large arteries. A verdict of

:39:56. > :39:59.accidental death was recorded. Was that bad for business? On the

:39:59. > :40:09.contrary, they flock to see that sort of thing. It might happen

:40:09. > :40:10.

:40:10. > :40:14.again. Simon has ancestors founded the famous menagerie here. His

:40:14. > :40:20.famous grandfather as a teenager ran away from home to join

:40:20. > :40:23.Britain's largest menagerie, or stock and when Wells. He became an

:40:24. > :40:27.elephant boy. He would clean the animals, and when the showers on

:40:27. > :40:32.they would lay him down and the ringmaster would bring the relevant

:40:32. > :40:36.in, and sit him on the little George do they, and the crowd would

:40:36. > :40:42.be screaming. People would be running out because they thought

:40:42. > :40:50.the boy had been crushed to death. The scandal was caused when he fell

:40:50. > :40:53.in love with Martha, the owner's daughter. The owner was a very well

:40:53. > :40:58.respected man and George was a humble workmen. They went away and

:40:58. > :41:01.got married in secret, no family were present at the wedding.

:41:01. > :41:06.eventually the marriage was accepted come they began life on

:41:06. > :41:11.the road. Their family caravan still exist at the fairground

:41:11. > :41:16.Heritage Centre in Devon. We end this was brought out, it was the

:41:16. > :41:20.Rolls-Royce of caravans. This is the bedroom, a double bed and the

:41:20. > :41:25.hand basin on the corner. Then you have got the lounge area, and the

:41:25. > :41:30.cooking would have been done on the stove. All so one of the animals

:41:30. > :41:34.lived here, I gather. Yes, when the reptiles hibernated there used to

:41:34. > :41:42.put the python in this locker. The family would be living here, but

:41:42. > :41:48.perfect place, and kept warm by the stove. Perfect. All part of the

:41:48. > :41:54.family. By the end of the century, rising costs and competition from

:41:54. > :42:00.zoos forced menageries into decline. In 1898, the animals from this

:42:00. > :42:04.menagerie were sold. They were entrepreneurs in their day. They

:42:04. > :42:09.needed to look at what was going to bring the crowds in. What did your

:42:09. > :42:14.family moved on to? The latest craze, moving pictures. They took

:42:14. > :42:19.an electric buyer scope on the road and the new generation of steam-

:42:19. > :42:25.driven rides. Today, the family still tour the West Country, though

:42:25. > :42:30.in very different accommodation. This is quite a caravan, isn't it?

:42:30. > :42:35.Thank you. The best I have ever seen. It is our home and we live

:42:35. > :42:40.here all year round. Why has the business changed? The nature of the

:42:40. > :42:45.business is the same - we go to the same places and we are still

:42:45. > :42:52.entertaining. And you would never one to give up? Never, I am a

:42:52. > :42:57.showman. Travelling menageries were exciting and dramatic form of

:42:57. > :43:07.entertainment for more than 130 years. They are long past, but that

:43:07. > :43:08.

:43:08. > :43:13.spirit of the show must go on will John is here with us in the studio.

:43:13. > :43:18.You were telling us before there was lots of rivalry between the

:43:18. > :43:21.owners. Tremendous rivalry. There was one show man who wanted to put

:43:21. > :43:25.on an elephant and his rival was desperate to do the same, but his

:43:25. > :43:31.elephant died that morning. The first show man put up a great sign

:43:31. > :43:37.saying, the only live elephant in the show. The other show man said,

:43:37. > :43:43.I can top this. I have got the only dead elephant in the show. And then

:43:43. > :43:49.what happened - this is a sad story - more people flock to see the dead

:43:49. > :43:53.elephant. Because that was rare. spoke about the plight of the

:43:53. > :43:58.circus elephant, so what is the latest question much they are

:43:58. > :44:04.banning wild animals. MPs agreed yesterday that wild animals should

:44:05. > :44:11.be banned from circuses. The RSPCA reckon there are 46 wild animals in

:44:11. > :44:15.British circuses. And seven of them are tigers. It's a lot of animals.

:44:15. > :44:18.MPs agreed that, but the Government are not bound by it. So the

:44:18. > :44:23.Government are reviewing the whole thing and their arguments about the

:44:23. > :44:26.law and the rest of it, so there has been no immediate decision.

:44:26. > :44:30.was a surprise result because people thought they would just

:44:30. > :44:35.recommend better care. That is right. The MP involved felt very

:44:35. > :44:39.strongly that wild animals should not be paraded in front of people

:44:39. > :44:43.in a circus. And you can see it. Opinion has changed a lot on

:44:43. > :44:50.animals. You went to look for Tigers in their natural habitat and

:44:50. > :44:53.you did not see any. I was in India in a tiger reserve. We spent the

:44:53. > :44:59.whole day looking for tigers and did not see one. Back here, seven

:44:59. > :45:03.of them in circuses. Tigers, if you are watching, John would like to

:45:03. > :45:08.see you. It is Friday and Angela Rippon is in the house, which means

:45:08. > :45:15.it is time for you to make the news in Rippon's Britain. You go,

:45:15. > :45:21.girlfriend! Tonight's headlines:

:45:21. > :45:24.Pensioner goes plane crazy. Man goes to Manchester 25 times.

:45:24. > :45:28.Lippy lady sticks it to the Canadians.

:45:28. > :45:31.And teachers, leave those wigs alone.

:45:31. > :45:36.91-year-old Tom Lackey from Birmingham has become the oldest

:45:36. > :45:39.person to fly across the Channel and back on top of the plane. He

:45:39. > :45:45.took off from an airport in Kent and he didn't even get off when the

:45:45. > :45:49.plane landed. He got to France, had a glass of cognac, turned round and

:45:49. > :45:53.came home. Since taking up wing walking 10 years ago in memory of

:45:53. > :45:58.his wife, this daredevil has completed over 20 wing walks and

:45:58. > :46:03.raised more than �1 million for charity. He also holds the record

:46:03. > :46:09.for being the oldest person to do a loop the loop. Tom, they do have

:46:09. > :46:13.site -- seats inside the plane as well!

:46:13. > :46:19.How long does it take to get to Manchester? It depends on how many

:46:19. > :46:23.you are going to. Loyal Mancunian Pete Johnson was so fascinated by

:46:23. > :46:28.the fact that there are 33 right across America and Canada that he

:46:28. > :46:32.decided he would visit them all by motorbike. He says he wanted to see

:46:32. > :46:38.if they had heard of Coronation Street and Old Trafford. It took

:46:38. > :46:48.him one month, but tornadoes meant he only reached 25. Never mind,

:46:48. > :46:51.Pete. Have an Eccles cake to make you feel at home. Well done.

:46:51. > :46:55.The staff at Forfar Academy and Angus have not stopped believing.

:46:55. > :47:01.They created their very own video to promote a new glee club for

:47:01. > :47:08.their pupils. It is rather good. # Some we will win

:47:08. > :47:16.# Some we will lose the # Has some will only sing the blues

:47:23. > :47:28.madam wrote to us to say she has managed to paint herself into the

:47:28. > :47:32.record books by doing the most lipstick applications in one hour.

:47:32. > :47:37.A line of people puckered up in the Meadowhall Centre in Sheffield,

:47:37. > :47:47.while she got busy with the lippy. In the end, she managed 472

:47:47. > :47:52.

:47:52. > :47:55.applications, beating the previous Canadian holder by 27. She is fast!

:47:56. > :48:02.That is all for this week. I am Angela Rippon and you have been

:48:02. > :48:07.watching Rippon's Britain. Thank you, Angela, and thank you to

:48:18. > :48:23.Big or small, we will read them all. This year, two British holiday camp

:48:23. > :48:30.institutions celebrate anniversaries. Pontins is 65, but

:48:30. > :48:36.Butlins is 75. Happy birthday, campers! That did not work in

:48:56. > :49:01.In 1973, just as cheap foreign travel had started to tempt Brits

:49:01. > :49:06.abroad, BBC Two's manner live of followed the happy campers and

:49:06. > :49:15.hoping for son, songs and silliness at Pontins holiday camp by the

:49:15. > :49:20.Sussex seaside. Welcome. The bar opens at 11 o'clock. The camp

:49:20. > :49:24.philosophy was supremely simple - a week's holiday for a week's pay.

:49:24. > :49:30.The sun was not guaranteed but wacky ways to let off steam

:49:30. > :49:34.certainly were. There was lots of monkeying around, and the

:49:34. > :49:43.obligatory middle aged men in mini- skirts. What do you do for a

:49:43. > :49:46.living? A security officer. lovely legs competition. Ladies

:49:47. > :49:52.could win prizes for a nice set of pins, but watch out for the

:49:52. > :49:58.wandering hands. Steady on! Is it necessary for you to keep moving

:49:58. > :50:02.the legs from place to place? this is what people like. They do

:50:02. > :50:10.not like the legs just standing there, they have to be in a nice

:50:10. > :50:14.position. It a Pontins bluecoat earned 25 -- �12 a week for the

:50:14. > :50:19.rollovers babysitters and seaside sergeant majors. Some went on to

:50:19. > :50:29.television fame, but others did not. Would you like to be doing

:50:29. > :50:33.

:50:34. > :50:38.television? Yes. I think everybody The kid's got their own

:50:38. > :50:47.entertainment, even if some of those trendy 70s names proved a

:50:47. > :50:52.little difficult to grasp. What is the little girl's name. Zoe. That

:50:52. > :50:57.is rather unusual. His name is Darren and he is stuck with it for

:50:57. > :51:03.the rest of his life. Mealtime meant good, traditional British

:51:03. > :51:07.fare. Mo pizzas and pitta bread. Yorkshire pudding and custard.

:51:07. > :51:11.Tasty! While it might not look appetising today, it was a lot

:51:11. > :51:18.better than the foreign muck they had been forced to experience

:51:18. > :51:26.abroad. What were you having to eat? You could not tell what it was.

:51:26. > :51:32.A hotchpotch of pace on the plate. Did you eat it? He only eats beef.

:51:32. > :51:37.Very sensible. Once the kids had gone to bed, time for dancing and

:51:37. > :51:41.dating. Some singletons have the recipe for romance. Where would you

:51:41. > :51:46.like to take the Linda? Take her out on the town, give her a good

:51:46. > :51:53.time, take it to the dance. Then back home and show her my bedroom

:51:53. > :51:58.wallpaper. Who could resist such charm? Nor this left Oreo as were

:51:58. > :52:02.not so confident. Which girl would you take out? Any girl there would

:52:02. > :52:09.come along and come out with me because I haven't got one myself

:52:09. > :52:12.yet. What a shame. The week of food, flirting and enforced fun came to

:52:12. > :52:19.an end with a good knees-up before the bags were packed and it was

:52:19. > :52:24.time to go home. The exodus to Spain soon led to the holiday camps

:52:24. > :52:29.adapting to the modern family favourites - the lovely legs and

:52:29. > :52:33.glamorous grannies gave way to archery and health spas. Shame, I

:52:34. > :52:40.always wanted to enter a knobbly knees competition.

:52:40. > :52:47.This is brilliant! This book is brilliant. He is engrossed. We will

:52:47. > :52:53.chat about How To Look Good Naked. It is in its 7th series. It was not

:52:53. > :52:57.your idea originally, was it? Channel 4 came to me and asked me

:52:57. > :53:01.to audition for it. They had seen a tape that I had done before. It was

:53:02. > :53:06.their idea and they worked with a production company. They brought me

:53:06. > :53:10.in. We made the first season, each one was half-an-hour, and we had no

:53:10. > :53:15.idea what the women would tell us, how far we could ask them to go

:53:15. > :53:18.with it, and even my relationship with them. It was not until we got

:53:18. > :53:22.through to filming the end of the first series that we realised it

:53:23. > :53:28.was a show in itself. I suppose it was an organic process to get to

:53:28. > :53:32.where it is. I do love it. It is a simple idea, and you have to twist

:53:32. > :53:38.it every series, like Top gear. One of the ultimate twist Soiza when

:53:38. > :53:48.you did a makeover for a blind lady. We have a clip. Shall I show you

:53:48. > :53:53.

:53:54. > :54:03.exactly what your body looks like. Head, shoulders, waste, HIPs, FT.

:54:04. > :54:06.

:54:07. > :54:12.Wow! I think you don't need to change at all. Really? Was that the

:54:12. > :54:17.best thing you ever did? When we made the disability Specials, the

:54:17. > :54:20.three shows, I was really worried. I panicked so much thinking that it

:54:20. > :54:25.had become an institution, the public knew the former, knew what

:54:25. > :54:29.the outcome was, and I did not want to play God and pretend we could

:54:29. > :54:33.cure anything. But what I wanted to do was to allow it to be a process

:54:33. > :54:37.where every single woman could feel good about herself, regardless of

:54:37. > :54:41.whether she had a disability or not. Whether it was the best thing I had

:54:41. > :54:45.ever done, it was probably one of the most rewarding. He was very

:54:45. > :54:50.touching. Even the hardest cameraman in the BBC got moist when

:54:50. > :54:54.we played that. She was brilliant. One of the brilliant things that

:54:54. > :54:58.came out of that was that the Royal Institution for the Blind used that

:54:58. > :55:01.film to teach people, and also to introduce things like having

:55:01. > :55:05.shoppers that can teach blind people about clothes and shopping.

:55:05. > :55:10.It is just a show, but at the same time it has a massive effect on

:55:10. > :55:13.people's lives and I am proud of it for that reason. At the end of

:55:14. > :55:18.every show, these women feel incredible, that is down to you.

:55:19. > :55:24.But they do not have a stylist in real life, so do you follow their

:55:24. > :55:29.stories and keep in touch? Absolutely. We do catch up stories.

:55:29. > :55:33.After-care is all we are talking about. When I first started making

:55:33. > :55:36.the series, I was staying in touch with everyone but it became

:55:36. > :55:39.impossible. These amazing women would go through a moment in their

:55:39. > :55:43.lives when they would struggle again, which we all would do, and

:55:43. > :55:47.they would go back to the show. It was not about that, but about them

:55:47. > :55:52.finishing their journey and then repairing themselves. And there

:55:52. > :55:59.will be more on the way. Earlier, we launched our One Show Treasure

:55:59. > :56:04.Hunt on BBC Two. Now for the moment of truth. Anneka. She has a group

:56:04. > :56:09.of people. Millions and millions of people

:56:09. > :56:12.have come out from the woodwork. Seriously, this crowd have been

:56:12. > :56:17.brilliant. The funny thing is, because they were watching it on TV

:56:17. > :56:20.and wanted to get here as quick as possible, there are people in a

:56:20. > :56:25.state of undress. They have literally left the lamb chops in

:56:25. > :56:32.the oven. And you are in your pyjamas, aren't you? Did you just

:56:32. > :56:39.leap into the car? Are your feet very cold? These three girls are

:56:39. > :56:44.actually the winners. Mrs Megan and Molly and Ruby. So, you used the

:56:44. > :56:52.satnav. Well done. We can see the moment when they go and find the

:56:53. > :56:57.treasure. So it is very exciting, Chris. Can I just say, it has been

:56:57. > :57:04.the most bonkers one hour I have ever spent, but I love these people.

:57:04. > :57:11.They are so enthusiastic. Can you please open the treasure box? Look

:57:11. > :57:21.at that. Everyone else got one of these. But lovely Megan, because

:57:21. > :57:22.

:57:22. > :57:28.she is the main winner, there you Can you do us a favour and read out

:57:28. > :57:35.what is happening in the show next week? Who is going to be their

:57:35. > :57:42.guest. Ross Kemp, Sarah Macmillan, Cindy Lauper, Amanda Redman, and on

:57:42. > :57:46.Friday, Sir Cliff Richard. Lots to look forward to next week. We have

:57:46. > :57:51.had a wonderful time. Thank you to everyone in Bristol and back to you
