It's nearly 7.00pm and tonight's one show audience is arriving by bus! | :00:08. | :00:16. | |
Some of the passengers, it seems, have let the excite am get to their | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
heads. Those two at the back, they started it. -- excitement. | :00:23. | :00:36. | |
What a show we have in store. Hello and welcome to The One Show with | :00:37. | :00:44. | |
Alex Jones And Matt Baker. They are arriving now. They look like a | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
lively bunch. They do. Normally, they are to be found criss-crossing | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
the country with their Freedom passes, as we'll be discovering | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
later. We know those two. They are bringing ballroom blitz to the | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
weekends. Claudia is pleased to be here. A comedian who is not afraid | :01:03. | :01:09. | |
of taking to the dance floor himself. Here he is in training. | :01:10. | :01:19. | |
# Come on and dance with me... # | :01:20. | :01:31. | |
Please welcome, the multi-talented Paul Merton, Tess Daly and Claudia | :01:32. | :01:39. | |
Winkleman. Lovely to see you all. I had forgotten we had done that. An | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
alternative to dancing. We had separate choreographers. Very good. | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
We found this incredible link. Obviously, Claudia is taking on the | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
reins from Brucie. Had you a hand in Bruce getting Strictly? I had a | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
phone call. He said, "I watched your show and thought I would be good at | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
hosting that". I said, "have you got a cold" he said, "no, I always talk | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
like that". He suggested it himself. I thought it was a good idea. I said | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
to producer. He has everything he needs. Comic timing, the charisma, | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
how to work an audience. Just before he went on. You think of him being | :02:20. | :02:27. | |
the ultimate professional. You see the nerves. The Have I Got News For | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
You crowd weren't sure what he would be like. With Bruce Forsyth I | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
disappear. He has been around for a long time. I'm responsible for his | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
entire career! It's true... I remember the one that he did. He was | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
absolutely fantastic. He loved do. Ing it. Ian Hislop's face was a | :02:53. | :03:04. | |
picture. He doesn't get Pay. Your Cards Right, he didn't see that | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
stuff, he thought it was the worst programme we had ever done. I | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
thought it was the best! The reason you are here, we will talk about | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
Strictly later on. With Paul returning to Have I Got News For You | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
next week, it got us thinking about a little quiz. It did. A little | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
quiz! It's a mashup. Who better than to | :03:24. | :03:36. | |
host it than a man who has seen service on both shows it.'S our very | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
own, Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant. It's at thes and Claudia up against | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
Paul. What is in store for Round 1? This is the missing words round. We | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
have taken out one or more words from comments made - Is it live? You | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
need to tell me what they are. This is not for you, Paul, it's for at | :03:59. | :04:11. | |
thes and Claudia. Here is a -- Tess -- a Bruno comment. What do you | :04:12. | :04:20. | |
think? Dance on my table. Let us do it as Bruno. Alex, you can come | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
and... Any time... You have danced with passion. I feel like I'm there. | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
Let us have a look. "scrub my floors." I had no idea. | :04:33. | :04:47. | |
This is for Paul. Here is an comment from an unimpressed Craig. | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
Hips. Hips. I'm sure I remember that. I might be wrong. Feet. | :04:52. | :05:02. | |
Overwhelming sense. No. Was it hands. Thumbs. Thumbs. Wait a | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
moment. Let us have a look. Thumbs. What | :05:07. | :05:16. | |
were you doing with them? They used to stick out my thumbs. I used to do | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
that, instead of that. The points go to Tess. Well remembered. You get | :05:23. | :05:30. | |
two points. You are way ahead. Stole it from Paul. Now we can put human | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
nature to the test in a new one show experiment that you can take part in | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
at home. Using hidden cameras, Anita set out to see how diners would | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
react in an escalating situation involving a waiter with shocking | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
table manners. Almost every day, thanks to social media, papers and | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
24-hour hour news, we make judgment calls on people's behaviour. Just | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
occasionally, one of these dilemmas plays out in front of our very eyes. | :06:02. | :06:11. | |
If that happens, would you step? It could be someone being offensive, | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
anti-social behaviour, unkindness, bullying, general rudeness. If | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
somebody needed your help and support, and it was happening in | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
front of your eyes, how would you react? Today, we are going to run an | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
experiment to see how diners here in Leeds respond. The subject - one of | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
the most burning issues of modern Britain. The obesity epidemic. 64% | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
of the adult British population is overweight. One in four of us is | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
technically obese. Obesity is seen by many as a self inflicted | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
condition that makes the overweight fair game for ridicule. So, for our | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
experiment, we have rigged this restaurant in Leeds with secret | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
cameras. The diners here will have no idea they're under Suraj. -- | :06:58. | :07:11. | |
surveillance. These are our actors. Laura will order a calorific meal. | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
The waiter will question her choices on health grounds. What we want to | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
see is what the other customers do, if anything at all. Maybe you should | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
consider a salad. He will continually humiliate Laura in the | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
middle of our craweded restaurant. It might be difficult to manage all | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
of that. Will anyone come to her aid. Do you want some of this | :07:35. | :07:44. | |
full-fat mayo as well. It's a situation that Holly faces every | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
day. I always order a diet coke, prefer the taste. The waiter said, | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
"which one of you is on a diet" I felt it was inappropriate. Small | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
comments like that can make a difference to how people think about | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
themselves. What about you Sarah? I had chips in my hand. A random guy | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
shouted, "you shouldn't be eating chips with a backside like that" I | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
was mortified. It's not on. It's a horrible, horrible feeling. With | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
everything in place, Holly and Sarah will be in our control room as we | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
watch and wait and see what happens. I think that the British are very | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
kind of keep themselves to themselves, don't they? I will be | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
interested to see if anyone sticks their head up and intervene. It's | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
not what we would do normally. If you make a racist comment everyone | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
would say that is totally unacceptable. If you were to make a | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
comment about a disabled person, that is completely unacceptable. If | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
you make a comment about someone's weight, or how large they are, and | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
make an offensive comment about that, it is sort of laughed off. | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
Sorry that took it long. A hell of a lot of food, isn't it. The question | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
is, how will people react? As you watch this, ask yourself - would you | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
get involved? With respect, you know, everybody else uses the NHS as | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
much as you. It the full fat mayo is the killer. | :09:10. | :09:24. | |
We will reveal the reaction from fellow diners. It gets worse, to be | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
fair. What would you do in that situation. If you were in that | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
restaurant would you say or do something or ignore it. We are going | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
to put it to a vote and the question is simple - would you get involved, | :09:39. | :09:40. | |
yes or no? You can sign in and vote online | :09:41. | :09:44. | |

full terms and conditions. Whilst many crime statistics are | :09:48. | :10:06. | |
falling, recent findings suggest victims of burglary are taking | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
drastic action after a break-in. Joe Crowley discovers what it's like to | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
feel anything but as safe as houses. How can someone do it? This is where | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
you feel most safe and suddenly you've let this alien force into | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
your house. They are out to attack you. One in four of us have been | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
burgled at some point. According to a recent survey, half of all | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
burglary victims choose to move house afterwards rather than stay | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
put. Sam and Chris came home from a shopping trip to find their house | :10:39. | :10:45. | |
had been broken into. As soon as I went in, went into the sitting room | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
and realised the telly was gone. I was like - oh, my God. It wasn't | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
until I'd looked in the little one's room I realised they got in through | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
the window. You feel violated that someone has been in your home. | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
Knowing that burglars had been their daughter's room it left them feeling | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
vulnerable and determined to move. From the next day we were on the | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
internet trying to find somewhere new. That soon? Instantly, | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
everything changed. It was as if that place was no longer Like half | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
of home. All burglary victims, Sam and Chris moved away. | :11:23. | :11:31. | |
I have met people who have moved house because they have been | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
burgled, is that the only answer? Absolutely not. It's perfectly | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
understandable that people are emotional. They feel violated. They | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
feel angry. It's really important to remember that these are probably | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
very young, quite desperate young men, maybe teenagers, with a | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
substance misuse problem. It's not personal. They are not interested in | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
their victim much they want to get in and out as quickly as possible. | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
Back in the early # 0's, Richard fitted that description perfectly. | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
What was going through my mind was - I need cash. I need high value goods | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
I could sell, Xbox, PlayStations, anything I could shift quickly. | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
Credit cards. I needed cash. That is all that was going through my head. | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
Get in there, spin it within eight minutes and out of there with what I | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
need. After serving 18 months in jail, Richard changed his way and | :12:27. | :12:33. | |
now works as a security adviser. It wasn't about the person in the | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
house. In most cases I didn't know who they were, didn't care, when you | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
are in there you don't look at family photos. You don't care if | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
they have children or elderly. It's just a house. Not proud of it, that | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
is what I did. Burglars usually strike when we are out. Thankfully, | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
a break-in when someone is home is very rare. Paul hit the headlines | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
last month when he was almost blinded by intruders who came | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
knocking at his door. I opened the door and suddenly four men rushed in | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
immediately without saying anything and started hitting me. They started | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
saying, "where's the money, where's the money" there wasn't any. I was | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
fighting back, as best I could. I knew my wife was on the first floor. | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
I knew I had one daughter upstairs on the top floor. I was worried | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
about them. One was kicking me from the left. Another one was pinning me | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
down on my chest and beating my head. Another one grabbed this door, | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
and was threatening to bring it down on my head saying, "where is the | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
money, where is the money"? Despite needing five nights in hospital, | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
Paul remains determined to stay in his home. Nationally burglary is on | :13:42. | :13:48. | |
the decline. Latest statistics show reported incidents have more than | :13:49. | :13:54. | |
halved from 1.8 million in 1993 to fewer than 700,000 in 2012. With | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
half of us opting to move if we have burgled finding practical ways to | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
reduce our fear afterwards is very important. Try and kick in that | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
rational side. There are people to help you stop it from happening | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
again. Perhaps, get a local crime prevention officer around around | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
make sure you do lock-up if you install new locks and bolts etc | :14:15. | :14:17. | |
because we are very good at buying them and not using them. After his | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
home was invaded, Paul found his own way to banish the memories of his | :14:22. | :14:30. | |
attack. I simply went to the place where the chap had been beating me. | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
I lay here and looked at my house again. This time without the chap in | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
front of me. It felt really wonderful. It was reclaiming my | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
territory from those nasty ideas and thoughts I had of what had happened. | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
Leaving this house wouldn't get the memories out of my head. If I sold | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
up, it would always be with me. They had intimidated me to leave the | :14:53. | :14:53. | |
house. It is awful when you see the picture | :14:54. | :15:00. | |
of the gentleman. Paul, you have had a bizarre experience with burglars, | :15:01. | :15:08. | |
it started off as a frightening experience and then it became rather | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
comic? I was living in a bedsit at the time. There was an iron | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
staircase going up to the bedsit and I saw somebody standing up by the | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
front door. As I crossed the road, he disappeared. I knew he hadn't | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
come down the stairs. He was in the house. I had heard somewhere that if | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
you ever see a burglar, don't get in the way of their exit. So, I came up | :15:30. | :15:36. | |
the iron staircase and pushed the door open. I looked around the | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
corner, and he was hiding behind the curtains with his feet sticking out, | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
like in a cartoon. I bet you weren't laughing? No, I said, I know you are | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
there, you are going to have to go. He had a big mallet in his hand and | :15:51. | :15:57. | |
he said, "I'll be back!" The police said, "They always say that!" It was | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
frightening. He managed to get the TV on to the floor and that was it. | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
The door was smashed in. You don't know whether to go to report it to | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
the police or stay where you are. It's a frightening thing. Yes, the | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
feet sticking out underneath the curtain was an amusing moment in a | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
terrifying incident. That is one of the anecdotes that you write in your | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
autobiography, Only When I Laugh? Yes. Why have you decided to write | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
it at this point in your life? When I was very keen on being a comedian, | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
even before I was a comedian, I thought if I get a chance to write | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
an autobiography, I want to do it when I have lived a bit of a life. | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
If by the time I'm in my mid-50s, and somebody is interested in my | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
autobiography, it means I have had a career. I'm an essentially lazy | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
person. That is the honest answer! Now is the time, this is it? Yes, it | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
took me the best part of 18 months to do it. I did two separate drafts. | :16:55. | :17:04. | |
I wrote it in longhand, in pencil. It is your life? You said you | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
weren't happy with it? I didn't want to produce an autobiography that I | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
didn't like! Now, I can't wait to see what happens. In the early | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
chapters, you talk about your obsession with comedy. Yes. It tells | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
the story of you standing in the dinner queue telling jokes to your | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
friends. You realised then this is going to be hard work. I remember | :17:25. | :17:35. | |
thinking - I was about seven - and I'm making the kids laugh now, but | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
next year, they are eight, so the jokes will have to be better next | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
year. It's a strange thought for a seven-year-old to have. Sure. I was | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
thinking I have to keep improving. I can't do whatever jokes I was doing | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
at seven. What kind of comedy was it? Physical? Impressions of | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
teachers. There was one about a train driver, you will have to say | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
it... It is not very funny. It's not. It made Al laugh! You have | :18:01. | :18:12. | |
given the punchline away a bit! What is yellow and white and travels at | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
150mph? A train driver's egg sandwich! Let's have a look at a | :18:17. | :18:24. | |
clip of you in action. It is a wonder I made a career with jokes | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
like that(!) I have a buffalo at home. In a jam jar! He's got a | :18:29. | :18:46. | |
buffalo at home. In a jam jar. Balloon. Ba-ll-oon! | :18:47. | :18:59. | |
# Have you seen the muffin man # Have you seen the muffin man | :19:00. | :19:13. | |
# Who lives down Drury Lane? # | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
As well as the funny bits, there's lots of serious stuff as well. Then | :19:18. | :19:23. | |
a lot about the relationship with your dad and towards the end, there | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
is a poignant moment when you... My dad was part of the generation - he | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
wasn't very good at praising me. Not that I looked at it. It wasn't part | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
of his emotional vocabulary to do that. He would tape my shows but not | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
tell me he was doing that. I knew he was doing it. I was never looking | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
for approval from him, which was just as well! Towards the end, when | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
I saw him in hospital, him and mum died last year, he was really | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
pleased to see me, he was like - and I thought you are leaving it a bit | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
late! He said, "I'm looking forward to your show tonight." He got | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
confused at that point. It was the last time I saw him, ten days before | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
he died. It was really good. He left it late but we got there in the end. | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
That is what counts. Yes. Have I Got News For You is back next Friday. | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
Yes. You have had lots of guest hosts. Claudia, you have been on the | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
panel? Very badly! How nerve-racking is that? Ian came to see me first | :20:24. | :20:30. | |
and he went - and I was beside myself. I read all the newspapers, | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
just in case... And I said - he said, "Do you love the show?" I'm | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
obsessed by the show, which I am. He said, "That's bad. Some guests who | :20:42. | :20:49. | |
love the show sit there going..." They forget they are in it! These | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
people are hilarious and brilliant. He said, "Can you try and get on the | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
fairground ride?" That is the thing for the guests, trying to get | :21:01. | :21:03. | |
something early on to settle themselves. It is easy to watch it | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
all and forget you are meant to be contributing. A bit like on this | :21:07. | :21:15. | |
programme! It's true. It is exactly that! On that point, you wanted to | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
write an autobiography, you said you wanted to write a comedy film. Is | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
that going to happen? Hopefully. I have been talking about it for | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
years. At the moment, British cinema is going through a boon with British | :21:29. | :21:43. | |
comedy films. The Inbetweeners film made millions... If you would like | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
to read Only When I Laugh, it is out tomorrow. Is it? I wondered why I | :21:48. | :21:53. | |
was on the show! You look great on the cover. Anyway, on that note, it | :21:54. | :22:02. | |
is time for another round of Have I Got Strictly News For You. John, | :22:03. | :22:11. | |
what is in store? We want to know what happened next. Paul, here is | :22:12. | :22:19. | |
yours. Tonight, you will be seeing many different stars of dance. Oh. | :22:20. | :22:26. | |
What happened next, Paul? I have no idea. It must be extraordinary for | :22:27. | :22:29. | |
it to be a what happened next moment! I don't know. Is this the | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
week that Craig Revel Horwood streaked across the ballroom? Can | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
you remember, Tess? I haven't got a clue! Gangnam. That is when you do | :22:41. | :22:50. | |
that! Of course. John, is that right? You will be seeing many | :22:51. | :22:57. | |
different stars of dance, except Gangnam Style! | :22:58. | :23:00. | |
Well done! Clever girl. Well done, Claudia. We now go to Tess and | :23:01. | :23:17. | |
Claudia. Here's yours. What happened next? Did she | :23:18. | :23:37. | |
accidentally dance? Anton spun Ann across the floor and she revealed | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
big yellow matching bloomers. Let's have a look. | :23:43. | :23:56. | |
The human mop(!) John, who's in the lead? At the | :23:57. | :24:08. | |
moment... I haven't scored any. Tess and Claudia - six points. Paul made | :24:09. | :24:14. | |
a little joke and I gave him one for that. That's nice of you(!) It was | :24:15. | :24:21. | |
about Ann Widdecombe. Paul suggested it would be better if she didn't | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
dance so he gets a one. I am deeply happy with that. Nothing for the | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
train driver's sandwich joke! If you were driving around the roads of | :24:33. | :24:35. | |
East Anglia on Sunday, you may have seen a stream of buses heading for | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
Duxford. It wasn't a rail replacement service but the world's | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
largest bus rally. Yes, sounds brilliant(!) Dom Littlewood went | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
along for the ride to set some of our friends here a challenge. | :24:50. | :24:57. | |
We have all had to wait for one, but wouldn't you Adam and Eve it, 60 of | :24:58. | :25:04. | |
them come along at the same time! Just about! I'm on a convoy of | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
vintage buses that have driven here from all over the country for one | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
massive party, basically to show off! There are over 400 buses at | :25:13. | :25:23. | |
Show Bus. There's Bedfords from the 1930s, to Leyland Leopards from the | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
1960s. And 60 years ago today, the iconic red Routemaster bus was | :25:30. | :25:36. | |
unveiled. After a long hard working life, you might think they are ready | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
for the scrapyard. You would be wrong. There is an army of restorers | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
who are devoting their lives to keeping these pristine and running. | :25:47. | :25:49. | |
Like brothers Rob and Andy Lodge, who have a fleet of restored buses. | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
Part of their family business, which dates back to the 1920s. When did | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
your passion for buses start? Well, we were born into the business. Our | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
grandfather started the business in 1920 after he had come out from the | :26:04. | :26:10. | |
First World War. One of the first vehicles he had would be something | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
similar to this one. He started a bus service from the village. It's | :26:16. | :26:22. | |
all exposed on both sides. That doesn't suit our weather? It started | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
life off the same as the one there and had the conversion done to work | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
the seafront at Skegness. For bus lovers, there could be a cloud on | :26:32. | :26:37. | |
the horizon. Being in my late 30s, I'm not entitled to one yet. There | :26:38. | :26:46. | |
is a chance a future Government might be taking the free bus passes | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
away. Colin and Andrea helped set up the Save The Buses Campaign. I think | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
it is a major thing for people who are retired. Otherwise, they are | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
stuck at home looking at four walls. I know you are passionate about | :27:01. | :27:03. | |
this. How many signatures have you managed to get? 152,347. Wow! Steve | :27:04. | :27:13. | |
and Barbara Gibbs have been managed for 40 years and enjoy using their | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
free bus passes to explore the whole country. Steve, you have come back | :27:18. | :27:23. | |
from a long trip on the buses? Well, yes, something over 2,000 miles. It | :27:24. | :27:29. | |
was from Land's End to John O'Groats and back again to Land's End all | :27:30. | :27:35. | |
using local buses. That was to raise money for this fella here. Did you | :27:36. | :27:40. | |
like the fact that he was away? I loved it! Yes! It was a holiday for | :27:41. | :27:47. | |
you as well. I have got a little proposition for these four. As you | :27:48. | :27:53. | |
are all lovers of the bus pass, The One Show would like to set you a | :27:54. | :27:56. | |
challenge, where your long passion for buses should stand you in good | :27:57. | :27:58. | |
stead. Are you up for it? ALL: Yes! Coming up: It will be a | :27:59. | :28:07. | |
tight one. That goes out 1023. I hope they have missed the bus. They | :28:08. | :28:13. | |
are right behind us. Come on! The jeopardy. We will be finding out how | :28:14. | :28:19. | |
The One Show Bus pass challenge went later on. An hour's show tonight. | :28:20. | :28:28. | |
Still half an hour to go. I can't wait to hear about Strictly(!) It's | :28:29. | :28:35. | |
now! Double whammy of Strictly this weekend. The nation is waiting. | :28:36. | :28:41. | |
Paul, you are a big fan? I love it. I watch it avidly. The people on it | :28:42. | :28:44. | |
are people who have achieved something and they are trying to | :28:45. | :28:49. | |
achieve something else. I love it. We would like to know what we can | :28:50. | :28:53. | |
expect this weekend. It is on Friday and Saturday. How does it work? A | :28:54. | :28:57. | |
double weekend of dancing. On the Friday, six people take to the | :28:58. | :29:03. | |
floor. Nine on Saturday. They are - I can't wait to see it. We haven't | :29:04. | :29:07. | |
seen them dance yet. We have gone to rehearsals. Tomorrow is the day. | :29:08. | :29:17. | |
Friday and Saturday is the first dance any of us will see them | :29:18. | :29:24. | |
perform live. You will know. Your gums are stuck to the top of your | :29:25. | :29:28. | |
mouth! Was the first time the most terrifying of all? Definitely. That | :29:29. | :29:35. | |
is why nobody can talk. It gets more intense as the weeks go on. So, for | :29:36. | :29:40. | |
the last couple of weeks, the dancers have been with their | :29:41. | :29:44. | |
partners getting on. Let's have a look in the rooms right now. We have | :29:45. | :29:52. | |
got Alison. Love Alison. Alison will do well. She has got rhythm. | :29:53. | :30:02. | |
Joy and energy when she dances. Judi is lovely. A great sense of humour. | :30:03. | :30:10. | |
She is used to being in charge. Used to being the boss and coach. Not | :30:11. | :30:15. | |
used to being Anton is fabulous lead. . I think the people who do | :30:16. | :30:20. | |
brilliantly are the ones where they get on fantastically. That chemistry | :30:21. | :30:24. | |
is important Of course. You are in the training room all the time they | :30:25. | :30:31. | |
are getting on fantastically. In the papers it's saying Pixie Lott and | :30:32. | :30:39. | |
Simon Webbe from Blue and Frankie mentioned to do well. Who are the | :30:40. | :30:46. | |
other people - You can't predict. Pixie has a jive. It's a tough dance | :30:47. | :30:52. | |
as a first dance. Simon has a jive. Different to what they are used to | :30:53. | :30:57. | |
dancing. I have seen Gregg doing dancing. It was only eight seconds. | :30:58. | :31:02. | |
That was more than enough. I'd like to think I was an expert. Put it | :31:03. | :31:07. | |
into context that eight seconds? Just imagine. Set the scene. He did | :31:08. | :31:12. | |
it, he came up to me and went, "this is great" he was adorable. People | :31:13. | :31:16. | |
can't believe it. They sign up and hope it will be fun. It's just | :31:17. | :31:24. | |
fantastic fun. It gets addictive. It's part of the appeal to see them | :31:25. | :31:32. | |
getting the dancing bug. Six couples will be tackling the cha-cha-cha | :31:33. | :31:35. | |
this weekend. If you're wondering at home how it's done, here's Len and | :31:36. | :31:42. | |
Claudia to show you how. 2-3, Cha, Cha, Cha. No, 2, 3, Cha, Cha, Cha. | :31:43. | :31:52. | |
You go under. I come under. Come on. Put both your hands on my buttocks! | :31:53. | :32:03. | |
Are you sure is? It's all about facial expression. Ahhh! I'm | :32:04. | :32:16. | |
mortified. Man handling him there. The good news for everybody at home | :32:17. | :32:19. | |
is that will is a chance for viewers to take part. How does this happen? | :32:20. | :32:26. | |
Strictly has teamed up with Comic Relief. What Comic Relief want to do | :32:27. | :32:32. | |
is champion fantastic people who are never applauded really. People might | :32:33. | :32:38. | |
know them at home. If you are watching, email, nominate it at the | :32:39. | :32:43. | |
website. Anyone who is a big Strictly fan and a wonderful human | :32:44. | :32:47. | |
being and helps others. They will be part of Strictly. What will they do? | :32:48. | :32:52. | |
They will dance. With a professional partner? Yes, with a proper Strictly | :32:53. | :32:57. | |
partner. I don't want to give too much away... You want people to get | :32:58. | :33:03. | |
in contact? Please, exactly! That is a good point. My lips are sealed - | :33:04. | :33:08. | |
no, not that sealed. If people nominate somebody there will be a | :33:09. | :33:11. | |
show next year. The leadup to Comic Relief. They will have the full | :33:12. | :33:19. | |
Strictly experience. Can you imagine how many people will get in touch. I | :33:20. | :33:24. | |
can hear couples saying - shall we nominate ourselves. Someone who is a | :33:25. | :33:30. | |
Foster parent, or extraordinary in their own way And deserve a huge | :33:31. | :33:45. | |
fuss. The Strictly live shows start this Friday. John what is up your | :33:46. | :33:54. | |
sleeve for Round 3? This is the odd-one-out round. I will show you | :33:55. | :34:02. | |
four famous Strictly faces. Tell me the wrong one out and why. . Ronnie | :34:03. | :34:09. | |
Corbett, Natasha Kaplinsky, Fearne Cotton and Angela Rippon. Ronnie | :34:10. | :34:17. | |
Corbett stood in for Bruce. Natasha Kaplinsky stood in for me. She did | :34:18. | :34:23. | |
four weeks of an eight series run. Very kindly. Fearne Cotton hosted a | :34:24. | :34:32. | |
children in need experience. Angela is the odd-one-out. That would be | :34:33. | :34:39. | |
the answer. Angela Rippon. You all got it right. It's a bit | :34:40. | :34:50. | |
embarrassing. It was Angela Rippon. All the others guest hosted, but | :34:51. | :34:59. | |
Angela Rippon hosted Come Dancing. Paul, here is your four. Anton du | :35:00. | :35:07. | |
Beke, Craig Revel Horwood and Quentin Wilson and Fiona Phillips. | :35:08. | :35:14. | |
Quentin Wilson I would say is the odd-one-out. No. Put them back. | :35:15. | :35:27. | |
Quentin danced. So did Fiona. Anton did and Craig judges. I would say | :35:28. | :35:37. | |
Quentin Wilson will is the wrong one out as I've never heard of him. The | :35:38. | :35:49. | |
odd-one-out is Craig. All the others have let a record for getting the | :35:50. | :35:53. | |
lowest scores in different dances. Craig has the record for awarding | :35:54. | :35:58. | |
the lowest scores, including eight scores of just one point. Tess and | :35:59. | :36:04. | |
Claudia you are ahead. You are playing solo. There is another | :36:05. | :36:09. | |
round, 100 points are on offer. How, lovely. Can't wait. You have a film | :36:10. | :36:20. | |
for us next? I have. It's the true story of a dramatic prison break | :36:21. | :36:25. | |
which reads like a plot of a film. One of Britain's most sensational | :36:26. | :36:31. | |
prison escapes took place it was well planned, well execute and | :36:32. | :36:38. | |
worthy of a Hollywood movie. A helicopter lifts a murder and | :36:39. | :36:43. | |
burglar out of prison. Police say they are armed and dangerous. Back | :36:44. | :36:51. | |
in 197 Ian was expecting an average day operating a routine charter | :36:52. | :36:54. | |
flight. Little did he know that his passenger would be a career criminal | :36:55. | :37:01. | |
Andrew Russell with very different plans -- 1997. You are going on a | :37:02. | :37:05. | |
short flight, aren't you? Absolutely. Half an hour, 35 | :37:06. | :37:11. | |
minutes, Stansted to Leicester. You are expecting that. He is sitting | :37:12. | :37:18. | |
here. You are relaxed. The helicopter took off and it wasn't | :37:19. | :37:23. | |
long before the passenger revealed the true nature of his business. I | :37:24. | :37:29. | |
found myself looking down the barrel of this revolver he was holding. | :37:30. | :37:33. | |
Pointing the gun straight at you? Yeah. Then he said? The lines, "do | :37:34. | :37:39. | |
what you're told and you won't get hurt" he really did use those words. | :37:40. | :37:45. | |
I said, "fine." Then, "where do you want me to go?" He put the gun | :37:46. | :37:49. | |
against my temple and said, "I want to go to the prison." This is the | :37:50. | :38:00. | |
prison deep in the Leicestershire country side. It has 24-hours | :38:01. | :38:04. | |
patrols, one of the most secure prisons in the country. With Russell | :38:05. | :38:08. | |
training the gun on him, Ian was ordered to fly over the perimeter | :38:09. | :38:13. | |
fence and put the helicopter down in the middle of the prison football | :38:14. | :38:14. | |
pitch. It was pretty exciting. If you want | :38:15. | :38:30. | |
an adrenaline rush it was the day to be there to see that. Everyone was | :38:31. | :38:34. | |
stunned it had actually happened. As we are crossing the boundary of the | :38:35. | :38:37. | |
prison a couple of them are waving towels at me. As I am 15-20 feet | :38:38. | :38:44. | |
from the ground. They depatch themselves from the mob and run | :38:45. | :38:48. | |
towards the helicopter. The two prisoners, seen on CCTV. John | :38:49. | :38:54. | |
Kendall and Sydney Draper made their break for freedom. They were | :38:55. | :38:58. | |
dangerous men. Kendall was inside for eight years for burglary and | :38:59. | :39:03. | |
about to face more charges. Draper was a convicted murderer. We were 50 | :39:04. | :39:09. | |
meters away at that point. Ual cape bolt might have had trouble to get | :39:10. | :39:11. | |
there before the helicopter took over. The helicopter was on the | :39:12. | :39:16. | |
ground 23 seconds and then away. We were trained for lots of things. | :39:17. | :39:19. | |
Stopping helicopters isn't part of our training. We were - if we got | :39:20. | :39:23. | |
there, I'm not sure what we were going to do. With the escape | :39:24. | :39:31. | |
prisoners on board, Ian was made to fly south. They threatened to shoot | :39:32. | :39:36. | |
him in the leg if he didn't land on a glow r local golf course. He | :39:37. | :39:40. | |
pretended poor visibility made that impossible. He put down on what he | :39:41. | :39:45. | |
thought was a safer place, an industrial estate. I wanted to stay | :39:46. | :39:49. | |
flying as long as I do good. I was certain the moment I stopped flying | :39:50. | :39:53. | |
pie would be dead much we found our way here. The two in the back got | :39:54. | :39:57. | |
out. Russell, in the front, tried to drag me out of the helicopter to go | :39:58. | :40:00. | |
with him. I didn't fancy that too much. I told him if I left the | :40:01. | :40:04. | |
helicopter with the blades still turning it was likely to kill us | :40:05. | :40:10. | |
both. It's not strictly true. So he ran off to join his mates. For Ian, | :40:11. | :40:17. | |
the drama was over. Three desperate criminals were still on-the-run. | :40:18. | :40:20. | |
This was the first time a helicopter had been used in a successful prison | :40:21. | :40:27. | |
break in the UK. A massive manhunt ensued. Every police force in the | :40:28. | :40:32. | |
country is now involved in the search. Despite their detailed and | :40:33. | :40:43. | |
meticulous plans it didn't take the law long to catch with them. All | :40:44. | :40:50. | |
three were recaptured, one after 10-days arm were given prison | :40:51. | :40:55. | |
sentences for the escape. The hijacker was sent down for 10 years. | :40:56. | :41:00. | |
Life on-the-run was the one part of their plan that was doomed to | :41:01. | :41:06. | |
failure. 23 seconds. That is pretty unbelievable. Incredible. Once that | :41:07. | :41:12. | |
happened, then all the prisons, all the high-security prisons made sure | :41:13. | :41:16. | |
it couldn't happen again. Game over. It is so absurd, isn't it? You think | :41:17. | :41:20. | |
these exercise yards, down comes a helicopter, away they go. How then | :41:21. | :41:24. | |
did they manage to put a stop to helicopters? A lot of it obvious | :41:25. | :41:28. | |
netting. Apart from making sure they know what is going on. It is | :41:29. | :41:32. | |
interesting, this year, in Mount Joy Prison in Dublin they had the | :41:33. | :41:39. | |
netting over came a drone, full of drugs for prisoners, would you | :41:40. | :41:43. | |
believe it, it got caught in the netting. It's absurd at another | :41:44. | :41:48. | |
level. You also think it's a serious business. Thank you. You have to go | :41:49. | :41:54. | |
back to your desk. 100 points did you say for Paul? We asked you to | :41:55. | :41:58. | |
vote on whether you would get involved in a situation where | :41:59. | :42:03. | |
someone was being offensive to an overweight person. Voting has | :42:04. | :42:08. | |
closed. We get the results from Dr Mark Porter in a few moments. Time | :42:09. | :42:13. | |
to go back to the restaurant in Leeds where Anita discovers how | :42:14. | :42:17. | |
fellow diners react to our setup. We are in Leeds running an experiment. | :42:18. | :42:23. | |
Using secret cameras we are watching on as a waiter and an overweight | :42:24. | :42:32. | |
female customer, played by actors, play out a provocative scene. She | :42:33. | :42:38. | |
orders a high calorie meal. A burger with all the trimmings. | :42:39. | :42:42. | |
Our fake waiter questions her choices in a way that would make | :42:43. | :42:48. | |
anyone feel embarrassed. That's a hell of a lot of calories for one | :42:49. | :42:52. | |
person, at one sitting. Maybe you should consider a salad. Will fellow | :42:53. | :42:57. | |
diners come to her aid? I thought we decided you didn't want the onion | :42:58. | :43:04. | |
rings because you have enough food. Can you stop treating me like a | :43:05. | :43:11. | |
child. Can I take it away? They both Some onlookers are looked. Clearly | :43:12. | :43:14. | |
uncomfortable. They are trying to ignore it. I haven't finished yet. | :43:15. | :43:18. | |
You haven't finished. Could you leave, it please. This is turning | :43:19. | :43:25. | |
into masterclass in avoiding an awkward situation. We ask Laura to | :43:26. | :43:32. | |
make a fake phone call to a friend explaining how upset she is. Take | :43:33. | :43:37. | |
her food off her while she is on the phone. I haven't finished. I think | :43:38. | :43:41. | |
you have. Can you put it down please I haven't finish itted. Seriously. | :43:42. | :43:46. | |
Too Finally people are showing concerned. The diners two table down | :43:47. | :43:50. | |
have noticed too. They are being supportive. The man goes off to | :43:51. | :43:53. | |
complain to the manager. Laura now has the room on her side, at last. | :43:54. | :43:59. | |
No-one suspects this is all a setup until we emerge from our hiding | :44:00. | :44:02. | |
place to find out why it took so long for people to get involved. We | :44:03. | :44:13. | |
were ear wigging. It was making you feel awkward. | :44:14. | :44:21. | |
Would you have taken issue with the waiter directly? No, probably not. | :44:22. | :44:31. | |
Want to get away. Will a second sitting, with different diners, see | :44:32. | :44:34. | |
people coming to Laura's aid more quickly? There is your full-fat | :44:35. | :44:42. | |
fries. I wanted onion rings. You still want the onion rings. This | :44:43. | :44:49. | |
time diners are able to notice the tension between Laura and the | :44:50. | :44:52. | |
waiter. She has heard. She is giving him Daggers across the room. This | :44:53. | :44:55. | |
happens all the time. What do you mean? People come in and order too | :44:56. | :44:59. | |
much food, it's not good for your health. Did you hear what he said. | :45:00. | :45:04. | |
He said you shouldn't order that much food. The two lads on the other | :45:05. | :45:10. | |
side have noticed something too. The tension is obvious. Do you want this | :45:11. | :45:18. | |
full-fat mayo. What is your issue? I think I should advise you snoochl | :45:19. | :45:23. | |
you hadn't advising anyone else. With with respect everyone uses the | :45:24. | :45:25. | |
NHS as much as you... What is anyone going to do about it? | :45:26. | :45:34. | |
One of the men does act. He calls for the manager. I want to make a | :45:35. | :45:44. | |
formal complaint... He could see she was upset and he did something about | :45:45. | :45:49. | |
it, quietly. He didn't make a scene. No. Our waiter is sent to make a | :45:50. | :45:54. | |
grudging apology and now people do confront him directly. The manager | :45:55. | :46:01. | |
has told me to apologise to you. It's disgusting. That doesn't make | :46:02. | :46:09. | |
things right. The girl is overweight and she had ordered a lot of food. | :46:10. | :46:16. | |
It should never have happened. Time to reveal it's all been a set-up. | :46:17. | :46:21. | |
How was it making you feel? I felt awkward. Did you? When he got | :46:22. | :46:27. | |
involved, you felt more comfortable? Yes. When he came out with the mayo, | :46:28. | :46:35. | |
I thought that was disgusting. Laura's knight in shining armour did | :46:36. | :46:40. | |
step in to defend her, trying to avoid a commotion which might have | :46:41. | :46:45. | |
made Laura's embarrassment worse. I didn't think it was fair to talk | :46:46. | :46:48. | |
about it in front of anyone else. Did he do the right thing? | :46:49. | :46:53. | |
Definitely. He came in at the right time. We were uniting against him. | :46:54. | :46:59. | |
So, thanks, guys. It only took one person to step up and intervene and | :47:00. | :47:03. | |
everybody else supported them. What you have to ask yourself is - if it | :47:04. | :47:10. | |
was you, would you get involved? We will announce the results of what | :47:11. | :47:15. | |
you said later on. Tess, what would you do? Would you go hang on... If I | :47:16. | :47:20. | |
saw someone being talked to like that, and being picked on, it is | :47:21. | :47:24. | |
like bullying, I could not stand by and not say anything. I would have | :47:25. | :47:33. | |
to say something. Could you? We can all go of course we would get | :47:34. | :47:37. | |
involved. At what point do you get involved? Are you the first one to | :47:38. | :47:42. | |
go up? You have been having your say tonight. Dr Mark Porter is here. | :47:43. | :47:51. | |
Would you get involved? Yes, 79% of One Show viewers said they would get | :47:52. | :47:57. | |
involved, 21% said no. That's good. That's heart warming. We saw in the | :47:58. | :48:02. | |
film - we had an actor playing the waiter. He was bang out of order. | :48:03. | :48:07. | |
You think that it's counterproductive for us to point | :48:08. | :48:11. | |
out when somebody's maybe overweight and best to sit back and let them | :48:12. | :48:18. | |
acknowledge the problem? What we want is for people to do something | :48:19. | :48:24. | |
about their weight. The finger-wagging days have gone. | :48:25. | :48:28. | |
Latest research shows people who are subject to that discrimination, | :48:29. | :48:33. | |
where they are teased if they are children, and people accuse them of | :48:34. | :48:37. | |
being fat, they put more weight on. A similar thing, we have had in | :48:38. | :48:41. | |
general practice, if we scare patients by saying your weight is | :48:42. | :48:47. | |
going to make your diabetes worse, that doesn't work. What works is | :48:48. | :48:51. | |
when we say to people there is an issue here, we need to raise that | :48:52. | :48:55. | |
issue. How can we help you? It is a bit like somebody smoking saying, | :48:56. | :48:59. | |
you are a smoker, I'm going to say I can help you if you want to be | :49:00. | :49:04. | |
helped. And they will do something about it. Do you think there is an | :49:05. | :49:09. | |
element of denial? Yes. There is an element of denial from doctors. The | :49:10. | :49:13. | |
research shows doctors don't raise the issue. We skirt around it | :49:14. | :49:16. | |
because we don't want to raise it because it can be quite difficult, | :49:17. | :49:22. | |
particularly with parents of children. Patients tell us they want | :49:23. | :49:31. | |
us to raise it. It is not all about eating too much and doing too | :49:32. | :49:37. | |
little. Those are two main factors. We need to treat people with some | :49:38. | :49:41. | |
sense. We want to get them to lose weight. And lead by example. There | :49:42. | :49:50. | |
are 1.5 million employees in the NHS, the least we can do is lead by | :49:51. | :50:03. | |
example, sucking in his tumm y! You can let your belly out now! We have | :50:04. | :50:07. | |
one final round left of this. John? It's finally the Caption | :50:08. | :50:28. | |
Competition. Both teams, here is your son of a gun! Have a look at | :50:29. | :50:36. | |
that. Russell Grant. That was at Wembley. What do you think? I can't | :50:37. | :50:43. | |
think of anything that is broadcastable! I can, actually. I | :50:44. | :50:50. | |
don't know. What is the answer? Go on, Claudia? He is going to the | :50:51. | :50:59. | |
moon, something like that. I can see Uranus! How many points have been | :51:00. | :51:10. | |
deducted for that? Just lost six points. I never knew it would be so | :51:11. | :51:16. | |
difficult. Zero for that and Paul made quite a nice crack, so we will | :51:17. | :51:25. | |
give him two. So, we have now got the Final result. Here we go. Want | :51:26. | :51:33. | |
the Final result? Yes. Tess and Claudia have waltzed into a clear | :51:34. | :51:40. | |
lead, they have got 10. And Paul, Have I Got Bad News, 5. That was a | :51:41. | :51:46. | |
good game. Very good. Thanks for all your effort. Thank you, John. Time | :51:47. | :51:52. | |
to get on with Dom's challenge. It is a bit like a Top Gear Challenge, | :51:53. | :51:58. | |
but with buses. It is early morning and Andrea and Colin from Walsall | :51:59. | :52:02. | |
and Steve and Barbara from Leicester are finding out about their One Show | :52:03. | :52:07. | |
Bus Challenge. Your One Show Bus Challenge is to travel by bus and | :52:08. | :52:13. | |
get to the centre of Cambridge. Plot your route to your final | :52:14. | :52:24. | |
destination. I'm having the chocolates! From their start point, | :52:25. | :52:30. | |
each team's journey should take four hours to complete. Though that is | :52:31. | :52:35. | |
only if they plot the correct route. That will do. One, two, three, four, | :52:36. | :52:40. | |
five, six stops. It is going to be a tight one because that goes out at | :52:41. | :52:45. | |
1023. We are not on a Wednesday. That's screwed that idea up. We | :52:46. | :52:50. | |
better get a move on. As the full extent of the task sinks in, the | :52:51. | :52:55. | |
teams evaluate their chances. I am worried about if we miss the | :52:56. | :52:58. | |
connections. I don't know how often the buses run. If we miss one... We | :52:59. | :53:04. | |
have lost it. We are going to win! We are going to win, absolutely. | :53:05. | :53:08. | |
With routes plotted and schedules to keep, it is time to catch the first | :53:09. | :53:15. | |
bus. Stay on the bus, we don't get off. I have asked the driver, he is | :53:16. | :53:19. | |
going to give us a shout when we get there. While Colin and Andrea | :53:20. | :53:23. | |
discuss routes, Barbara and Steve discuss the view. Beautiful. Lovely. | :53:24. | :53:29. | |
Forget about cutting the grass, Steve, today is all about cutting | :53:30. | :53:35. | |
travel time! My bus pass is part of my life to me. It's for every day | :53:36. | :53:40. | |
things, like going to the shops, or taking my grandson out, going to | :53:41. | :53:44. | |
football matches, you know. It is a great social thing. You can get out, | :53:45. | :53:48. | |
meet friends. You have not got to worry about parking. An hour into | :53:49. | :53:52. | |
their journey, Steve and Barbara ditch the timetable in the hope of | :53:53. | :53:58. | |
speeding things up. We used our initiative and did some asking. We | :53:59. | :54:02. | |
didn't know places. I wonder how the others are doing. Don't know. I hope | :54:03. | :54:09. | |
they have missed the bus! Wishful thinking. Think coffee, flapjack, | :54:10. | :54:18. | |
and loads of time till the next bus. It is Andrea here. Where are you? We | :54:19. | :54:26. | |
have quite a way to go. We are cheating, we have got Nigel Mansell | :54:27. | :54:30. | |
driving! We have got two buses to go. We will save some chocolate for | :54:31. | :54:37. | |
you if we are there first. Refuelled, it is the Final stages of | :54:38. | :54:45. | |
the journey which would have cost ?20. If you had to pay every time, | :54:46. | :54:52. | |
your pension is eaten away. The older people, when you hear the | :54:53. | :54:56. | |
conversations, they are saying we don't know what we would do without | :54:57. | :55:01. | |
the bus passes. It's neck-and-neck as both teams near the city centre. | :55:02. | :55:06. | |
As both buses hit the depot, our teams almost bump into each other. | :55:07. | :55:11. | |
We might make it. We are going now. Come on. Cue the sprint finish. We | :55:12. | :55:19. | |
saw Steve and Barbara, I said let's run! We saw the other couple and we | :55:20. | :55:23. | |
all began to run. They are right behind us. Come on. She had the whip | :55:24. | :55:29. | |
on me back! Colin finishes first with the others not far behind. Well | :55:30. | :55:35. | |
done. Well done. Both teams bag a chocolate treat for their efforts. | :55:36. | :55:40. | |
Andrea was the navigator. I was the runner. It's worked out. I don't run | :55:41. | :55:46. | |
for anything but I will run for chocolate! The number of older | :55:47. | :55:53. | |
people who are on the bus using it - and it is such a social thing for | :55:54. | :55:59. | |
them. They were meeting up. Obviously regulars going shopping. | :56:00. | :56:02. | |
Fantastic. ALL: Cheers! | :56:03. | :56:08. | |
Huge congratulations to Colin and Andrea. | :56:09. | :56:11. | |
APPLAUSE Victorious. Very well done. Are you | :56:12. | :56:19. | |
planning another trip? Well, I usually go into Walsall with my bus | :56:20. | :56:23. | |
pass, but I'm going to go to Stoke. How far is that then? About 45 | :56:24. | :56:33. | |
miles. What about you, Colin? I shall go to Birmingham to the | :56:34. | :56:37. | |
museums. There we are. This is the thing, Steve. You can get all around | :56:38. | :56:41. | |
England now on one of these Freedom Passes. Tell us about your idea? I | :56:42. | :56:46. | |
don't think that the older people make enough use of it and my idea is | :56:47. | :56:59. | |
to write a series of guides of various regions. They like that. You | :57:00. | :57:06. | |
will make a fortune. That's not the object. Yes. It's a nice bonus. How | :57:07. | :57:13. | |
real is the threat to the national bus pass? At the moment, the threat | :57:14. | :57:18. | |
is quite real. There's some research being done. There's a company called | :57:19. | :57:22. | |
Social Market Foundation, a think-tank, and they have done some | :57:23. | :57:28. | |
research. This is a think-tank who also campaigned for the removal of | :57:29. | :57:35. | |
the fuel allowance. The bus pass is costing the economy for up to ?1 | :57:36. | :57:40. | |
million a year. There was some research done by Greener Journeys. | :57:41. | :57:46. | |
For every ?1 spent on the bus, ?2.87 is spent... I will hand you that, | :57:47. | :57:49. | |
Dom. The Walsall Pensioners' Convention, | :57:50. | :58:11. | |
they sent a petition in to 10 Downing Street. There were 152,000 | :58:12. | :58:16. | |
signatures on it. They want any party that is running for office | :58:17. | :58:20. | |
next year to pledge to keep it. That is a lot of signatures. That will | :58:21. | :58:25. | |
perpetuate between now and next year as well. If the party pledged to | :58:26. | :58:30. | |
keep it, what will happen is any local authority by law will have to | :58:31. | :58:35. | |
fund the buses and that's for pensioners, for disabled and for | :58:36. | :58:38. | |
blind people. We will have to stop you there. The bus is about to go! | :58:39. | :58:41. | |
That is all we have time for. Thanks to Paul, who is back there | :58:42. | :58:44. | |
somewhere. His autobiography Only When I Laugh is out tomorrow. Of | :58:45. | :58:48. | |
course, thanks to the girls, Claudia and Tess. Strictly gets under way | :58:49. | :58:53. | |
this Friday 9.00pm on BBC One. Tomorrow, we will be joined by | :58:54. | :58:55. | |
Andrew Marr. Good night. Good night! Hello, I'm Sam Naz with | :58:56. | :59:09. | |
your 90 second update. | :59:10. | :59:12. |
