Hello and welcome to The One Show with Alex Jones.

:00:16.:00:18.

The world of music has many great double acts.

:00:19.:00:21.

Wait for it! All of whom are fantastic artists.

:00:22.:00:34.

But none of them can claim to have had the biggest selling album

:00:35.:00:37.

Please welcome Michael Ball and Alfie Boe.

:00:38.:00:48.

Hello, boys. Good to see you. Tub of our pecking order. Sonny and Cher.

:00:49.:01:00.

And Robson and Jerome. There is a rumour they are coming back. We

:01:01.:01:08.

can't have that. The truth be told, 2016, double platinum selling album

:01:09.:01:12.

beating the likes of Adele and Coldplay. Huge you feel. And was

:01:13.:01:19.

amazing and we didn't expect it. I called it. One of our first

:01:20.:01:28.

performances was here. We had just performed here and you said, I'm

:01:29.:01:36.

telling you know, it's going to be number one, you will be number one

:01:37.:01:37.

at Christmas. If you're one of the millions

:01:38.:01:41.

waiting to submerge yourself in these two but in the hotly

:01:42.:01:48.

anticipated BBC Natural History series Blue Planet two,

:01:49.:01:50.

we've got a treat for you later when we'll be meeting the man

:01:51.:01:53.

responsible for bringing But first, nature at

:01:54.:01:55.

its most destructive. Last month Hurricane Maria hit

:01:56.:01:58.

the small Caribbean island of Dominica, destroying homes,

:01:59.:02:00.

cutting off power This week we've got three special

:02:01.:02:02.

reports from Angellica, who has family roots on the island

:02:03.:02:05.

and has been finding out how it's I am travelling to a country that is

:02:06.:02:21.

part of my heritage. My goodness. You can clearly see the devastation.

:02:22.:02:26.

And island helpless in the path of Hurricane Maria. This took everyone

:02:27.:02:33.

by surprise, I think, the scale of it. That are hardly any moves on the

:02:34.:02:40.

buildings. The hurricane was like a terrorist. I've never seen a

:02:41.:02:46.

hurricane like this before. People lost their homes and lives. I heard

:02:47.:02:54.

the storm talking, I could not understand what language but I knew

:02:55.:02:59.

it was tearing things apart. For such a tiny island Dominica was hit

:03:00.:03:04.

hard, 34 people are still missing and others died. Still a power and

:03:05.:03:10.

food and water are in short supply. Night-time curfew is in place to

:03:11.:03:11.

prevent looting. There is corrugated iron everywhere.

:03:12.:03:30.

There are cars everywhere. Trees everywhere, and people walking

:03:31.:03:34.

around trying to get food. It is going to be quite sad to see.

:03:35.:03:38.

Thankfully this former British colony is getting some help in the

:03:39.:03:45.

UK is playing a part. This is Winter Park stadium, an International

:03:46.:03:49.

cricket pitch, this will be our home for one week, we will be camping out

:03:50.:03:54.

because there is no accommodation. Also staying here, some members of

:03:55.:03:59.

.Com a team of volunteer British tree surgeons. I'm in that tent. The

:04:00.:04:06.

cameraman, the researcher, we've got all our kit and these rations. We

:04:07.:04:11.

are eating these because we don't want to take any food from the

:04:12.:04:15.

locals. This was a country covered in rich rainforest. But so much of

:04:16.:04:22.

it has been torn apart and strewn across the island. The Dart team are

:04:23.:04:30.

on their first mission, to clear a road to one remote village. It is a

:04:31.:04:37.

crazy idea to think of going from working in Wales to working here,

:04:38.:04:41.

it's good to be able to clear roads to help people. How have things been

:04:42.:04:53.

since the hurricane. Nine Street are blocked attachments are blocked.

:04:54.:04:57.

With all this to clear the equipment soon feels the strain. Like any

:04:58.:05:02.

piece of kit and can go wrong, Alex broke his saucer we've only got one

:05:03.:05:10.

working salt, -- he broke his saw so we've only got one working saw.

:05:11.:05:16.

Without it we are useless. Repairs completed, access to the village is

:05:17.:05:21.

soon restored which immediately helps the community. How are you?

:05:22.:05:27.

Good afternoon. How many years have you been walking up and down this

:05:28.:05:34.

road? Over 40 years. When it was blocked how did you feel. I came

:05:35.:05:42.

here after the hurricane, I don't know how many bruises I got. I had

:05:43.:05:50.

to do it. Thank you for unblocking my road. Thank you so much. We're

:05:51.:06:01.

happy to help. Later on Sam and Dave are in the village to see what

:06:02.:06:05.

damage trees might have done to the local school. But fallen trees are

:06:06.:06:22.

not the problem. It's not good. Gives you chills down your spine. It

:06:23.:06:30.

is anyone's guess if and when the school will be up and running again.

:06:31.:06:40.

These tree surgeons are helping clear one tree at a time but with

:06:41.:06:44.

every part of the island affected the scale of the work is

:06:45.:06:50.

overwhelming. Next time I travel to some of the worst hit areas of the

:06:51.:06:54.

island to discover British connections and find some of my own.

:06:55.:06:58.

It really does give you chills. You hear about it on the news but

:06:59.:07:05.

nothing prepares you for seeing devastation like that. When they

:07:06.:07:09.

walked into that school it was unbelievable. Really difficult.

:07:10.:07:15.

Angellica's report will be on tomorrow. The good news is that some

:07:16.:07:20.

of the schools are hoping to open next week. Let's talk more about

:07:21.:07:25.

your new album. Your last album, Together,

:07:26.:07:27.

was so successful. Now you're back with a new album,

:07:28.:07:28.

cleverly entitled Together Again. Michael, you say it's even better -

:07:29.:07:31.

how is that possible? I think so. How can you improve on

:07:32.:07:40.

perfection? He sings well on it. He doesn't sing as much! I think it's

:07:41.:07:57.

because we read into this... Lacey they have morphed our phases! We

:07:58.:08:07.

wondered how observant you were so we thought we would do a face swap

:08:08.:08:12.

and see if you noticed. You have practically morphed into the same

:08:13.:08:17.

person. Alfie, you're like colour, are you all right? I'm not as then!

:08:18.:08:27.

All, though I am. Two becoming one, you are wonderful together. We sort

:08:28.:08:33.

of have. It's good to see the brotherhood. You've got wonderful

:08:34.:08:38.

chemistry. Sometimes too much. You've got an album and tour and a

:08:39.:08:48.

TV special. This Sunday, the Blue club next Mac planet and then turn

:08:49.:08:56.

over and we'll be there. You said it would be for one night only, it's

:08:57.:09:01.

been more than that. We've done two might only. A one-off special. More

:09:02.:09:13.

likely two of special. This is what we've got to look forward to on

:09:14.:09:18.

tour. Lots of great songs including one from the album. Here we are.

:09:19.:09:22.

SINGING APPLAUSE

:09:23.:09:44.

Very nice. That is on the album as well, it is

:09:45.:09:54.

there because my Cath insisted that should be done, two men have never

:09:55.:09:57.

designed outside before, normally it is a male- female soul.

:09:58.:10:01.

A lot of the songs are inspired by musical theatre, but there's also

:10:02.:10:04.

Christmas songs and the Morecombe and Wise classic

:10:05.:10:06.

Yes, we did that. Presumably you both pick your favourites, who gets

:10:07.:10:21.

the final casting vote? Me. Nobody argues with him. We just know, I

:10:22.:10:28.

think. We go around the piano and we say, this one is better than that

:10:29.:10:34.

one. Some songs suit your voice is better. That is how we discover it,

:10:35.:10:39.

we sing them and we found that natural harmony, and Michael sings

:10:40.:10:41.

into net... LAUGHTER

:10:42.:10:51.

Michael sings in tune. There is that one song when I sing in tune! For

:10:52.:10:56.

this special coming at you got a different flavour. Here is your rap

:10:57.:11:04.

battle. I think we proved that we put the C

:11:05.:11:46.

in rap! Any thoughts, Alfie? You pull it off, that's the scary thing.

:11:47.:11:53.

Don't be ridiculous! That is so much fun, being able to do that and

:11:54.:11:57.

having a love, not taking ourselves too seriously but the songs that

:11:58.:11:58.

really matter, we do them properly. Michael and Alfie have

:11:59.:12:12.

legions of die-hard fans. But just how well do

:12:13.:12:14.

they know Ball and Boe? Would they, for example, recognise

:12:15.:12:18.

them if they popped up in a cafe, in disguise, and started

:12:19.:12:21.

serving them drinks? Well, there's only one

:12:22.:12:23.

way to find out... they have no idea that their idols

:12:24.:12:55.

are nearby, into every word. What use is what you get. He's got an

:12:56.:12:59.

amazing voice and he can act as well. Now for some fun. While the

:13:00.:13:07.

film crew keep the fans is the leading lines, Michael and of the

:13:08.:13:12.

attempt to deliver waiter service without being spotted. At Alfie.

:13:13.:13:29.

Three, two, one, Together Again, Ball and Boe! You did it really

:13:30.:13:41.

well. I watched you get in there! When the fans take a break from

:13:42.:13:46.

filming Ball and Boe prepare their last stand. I'm getting cramp, I

:13:47.:13:53.

need the toilet! I do as well. The fans come back for one final take.

:13:54.:13:59.

Just chat among yourselves, this is one final shot. How are you doing? I

:14:00.:14:14.

can't believe that! It's amazing how

:14:15.:14:21.

unobservant they were... We were right there but they were

:14:22.:14:36.

oblivious. You just blend, C. No charisma!

:14:37.:14:44.

Michael and Alfie's new album, Together Again, is out on Friday.

:14:45.:14:46.

And they are touring the country from 30th November

:14:47.:14:48.

Have a look at this - these are our six brave Rickshaw riders.

:14:49.:14:52.

They'll be setting off on their 500-mile "Ride

:14:53.:14:54.

to the Clyde" in just over two weeks.

:14:55.:14:56.

Before they start we're going to get to know all of them a bit better.

:14:57.:15:00.

My name is Ben and I am doing the right for my big sister Amy. I

:15:01.:15:25.

didn't make up once. She loved it, but don't think my mum did! Amy

:15:26.:15:34.

loves all the animals we have got. She loves going to see the pet pigs

:15:35.:15:42.

and she sits talking to them. Amy has two brothers and one sister but

:15:43.:15:46.

she is really close with Ben, and they have this real bond of love

:15:47.:15:52.

that you can see. Amy has a DNA disorder which comes with severe

:15:53.:15:59.

growth impairment. She has sight problems, hearing problems, a brain

:16:00.:16:03.

tumour, kidney failure. It has basically taken away all of her

:16:04.:16:07.

skills. She finds it hard to even hold a cup now, to have a drink.

:16:08.:16:15.

When I was younger Amy used to be able to walk and talk and do

:16:16.:16:18.

everything like a normal kid would be able to do. But now obviously she

:16:19.:16:23.

can't walk, so it is more like me looking after her. Carrying her

:16:24.:16:29.

around the house, to the toilet, watching TV with her, taking her to

:16:30.:16:32.

bed when she is tired, and making sandwiches and stuff for for lunch.

:16:33.:16:42.

-- lunch. Amy is 26 and the average life expectancy for someone with her

:16:43.:16:52.

condition is 44 years. This year two of her close friends passed away.

:16:53.:16:57.

We're dealing with is different to Ben's, because he will just cry and

:16:58.:17:02.

cry, whereas Amy is happy the children are free and they can do

:17:03.:17:05.

what they were meant to have done, so she can on the picture them

:17:06.:17:07.

running and laughing, and hopefully that is the way is. I just

:17:08.:17:14.

absolutely dread the day, for Ben, when Amy is not here. It was to

:17:15.:17:24.

support families with kids with the same illness as my sister. It helped

:17:25.:17:27.

me meet loads of other siblings going through the same thing, so I

:17:28.:17:31.

can talk to them, because they understand what is going on. We have

:17:32.:17:36.

an annual conference where we get all the families together. We

:17:37.:17:39.

support families or across the world now.

:17:40.:17:44.

We have our weekly siblings group. This one is for children who have

:17:45.:17:50.

lost a sibling or have a sibling or close family member suffering with

:17:51.:17:56.

any life limiting illness. The funding for Children in Need will

:17:57.:17:59.

enable us to continue with our family support worker role. Without

:18:00.:18:03.

it, those children would be lost in the community without the support

:18:04.:18:09.

they are getting. My aim during the rickshaw challenge is to raise

:18:10.:18:13.

awareness of my sister's illness. I can't really picture 500 miles in my

:18:14.:18:17.

head, so I don't really know what to think of it. She will take me on the

:18:18.:18:22.

whole way, but she will probably miss me a bit. Just have to get

:18:23.:18:27.

through it. I think Ben will be really good at

:18:28.:18:31.

this challenge, because he is sporty and also he knows he is helping

:18:32.:18:36.

others, and that is what Ben wants to do. Amy, are you going to wish me

:18:37.:18:42.

good luck? Yeah! LAUGHTER

:18:43.:18:51.

Absolute heroes, are they? Is amazing, Ben.

:18:52.:18:56.

:19:38.:19:45.

will be doing that, having dinner on Sunday the 5th of November. After my

:19:46.:19:50.

radio show, and posting that at the Dorchester hotel, all very posh!

:19:51.:19:54.

Lots of people coming to perform and sing. I will do a couple of tunes,

:19:55.:19:59.

and all my Radio 2 colleagues will be there, hosting tables. Tickets

:20:00.:20:02.

are available on the radio to website and you can find links there

:20:03.:20:07.

to buy tickets and come to join us. November the 5th, at the Dorchester.

:20:08.:20:11.

It might it sounds like a lovely afternoon. It was Terry's favourite

:20:12.:20:18.

thing when he was doing that, so I am happy to carry it on. Brilliant

:20:19.:20:20.

way to fund raise. Shortly, we'll be exploring life

:20:21.:20:21.

beneath the waves as you've never seen it before,

:20:22.:20:23.

as we preview some the most exciting moments from the brand

:20:24.:20:26.

new Blue Planet II. First, Miranda comes face

:20:27.:20:32.

to face with a monster fish The dinosaur age produced some

:20:33.:20:50.

remarkable creatures, from massive meat eating predators, the gigantic

:20:51.:20:56.

flying reptiles that have long since died out. But there is a creature

:20:57.:21:01.

from that time that survived extinction, a fish cold storage in,

:21:02.:21:08.

and it is very bizarre indeed. To come face-to-face with one -- it is

:21:09.:21:16.

a face called the Sturgeon. This is the last place you would expect to

:21:17.:21:22.

see a prehistoric creature... To discover how Sturgeon have outlived

:21:23.:21:28.

the dinosaurs I am eating photographer Adam who has been

:21:29.:21:31.

diving with them here for the last 15 years. I bet the swimmers out

:21:32.:21:34.

there do not know there is a prehistoric fish in the waters? They

:21:35.:21:39.

probably wouldn't come if they did. LAUGHTER

:21:40.:21:43.

What is it about Sturgeon that has allowed them to cope for so long?

:21:44.:21:49.

Cope with temperature differences, differences in solidity, differences

:21:50.:21:52.

inhabited, they can live in lots of different places, all of which again

:21:53.:21:57.

increases chances of survival. And you have some here so that is where

:21:58.:22:03.

we will go diving. Let's go find some... Individual Sturgeon can live

:22:04.:22:08.

for over 100 years, but ironically, having survived since the time of

:22:09.:22:12.

the dinosaurs, they are now critically endangered because of

:22:13.:22:15.

human pressure and are no longer found naturally in the UK. The

:22:16.:22:22.

sturgeon were introduced here and it now gives us the only chance to see

:22:23.:22:31.

these ancient creatures up close. But finding them isn't going to be

:22:32.:22:38.

easy. OK, so if we had this way... OK. I

:22:39.:22:44.

can only see six metres in front of me, and there are lots of places for

:22:45.:22:51.

even a big fish to hide. On the top of the rise, we do see

:22:52.:22:59.

wildlife, trout and roach, but it is and what we looking for. Then

:23:00.:23:06.

suddenly, out of the abyss... I have one, get ahead of us.

:23:07.:23:12.

What an incredible fish! Remarkable. Getting up this close, you can see

:23:13.:23:27.

the sturgeon doesn't have scales like the other fish here. It has

:23:28.:23:32.

this bony skin, you can see it all the way down its back, acting like a

:23:33.:23:40.

protective body armour. It is more like turtle shell than fish skin and

:23:41.:23:44.

it is not the only peculiar adaptation of the sturgeon have. I

:23:45.:23:51.

can see one of the secrets of its success here, these bits hanging

:23:52.:23:59.

down. The Barbosa tentacles that the sturgeon used to feel and sends for

:24:00.:24:09.

buried prey -- the barbles are tentacles. The other most they can

:24:10.:24:14.

extend outwards to feel for anything along the bottom. The sturgeon have

:24:15.:24:18.

clearly adapted to life in the quarry, and it is a treat to get up

:24:19.:24:22.

close and personal with a real living fossil.

:24:23.:24:30.

STUDIO: Thank you to Miranda! Great to see the sturgeon in full flight.

:24:31.:24:36.

They are very good. Not like in Blue Planet II.

:24:37.:24:36.

LAUGHTER James Honeyborne, the executive

:24:37.:24:38.

producer of Blue Planet APPLAUSE

:24:39.:24:47.

James, it feels like yesterday that we were watching Blue Planet I.

:24:48.:24:53.

It's 16 years since Blue Planet was last on our screens

:24:54.:24:57.

How did you start making a series like this?

:24:58.:25:03.

Lots of new science and technology has come along that has enabled us

:25:04.:25:10.

to tell lots of new stories. Where do you, as an executive producer,

:25:11.:25:16.

start? What is the process to making such a giant series? We have a team

:25:17.:25:20.

of great divers, people look work underwater, and we need to talk to

:25:21.:25:23.

all the scientists to find out what is happening and what are the latest

:25:24.:25:28.

discoveries. A series like this is all about the new stories we can

:25:29.:25:32.

file with the scientific element, and discover together, exciting. You

:25:33.:25:36.

must sit waiting for a phone call, we have this amazing footage and are

:25:37.:25:42.

sending it now? It is good when it happens. Sometimes it is from

:25:43.:25:45.

scientists and sometimes it is literally what one person thinks

:25:46.:25:49.

they might have heard, the fishermen's tale, where we had a

:25:50.:25:53.

chance once to go and possibly discover and film for the first time

:25:54.:25:58.

a fish that hunts birds, and when we first heard about it we didn't

:25:59.:26:01.

really quite believe it, but that is what we were told by this fishermen

:26:02.:26:05.

in South Africa so we went to the Indian Ocean where he said it was to

:26:06.:26:08.

have a look. We were pretty excited by what we found. Prydie

:26:09.:26:20.

astonishing. -- it was pretty astonishing.

:26:21.:26:24.

This is the astonishing Trevally fish...

:26:25.:26:30.

APPLAUSE That deserves a huge round of

:26:31.:26:51.

applause. And making me think of Mike the back of a fishermen's tale,

:26:52.:26:56.

you have this footage, never been seen before, certainly no records

:26:57.:27:00.
