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. | |

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. | |
that? We had never seen a photograph to see what it might look like, no | :27:01. | :27:07. | |
great description, so we were taking a bit of a risk, but lo and behold, | :27:08. | :27:12. | |
this is what we found, and so many things yet to be explored. Helped by | :27:13. | :27:18. | |
technology, of course. New camera technology but also new diving | :27:19. | :27:23. | |
technology, and there is a thing called a re-breather, which instead | :27:24. | :27:29. | |
of scuba which make noise and bubbles, it is completely silent so | :27:30. | :27:32. | |
you can stay under water for longer, so team were doing guys getting to | :27:33. | :27:37. | |
know one particular fish, and if you spend that amount of time without | :27:38. | :27:40. | |
this you can discover its intelligence, its character. It | :27:41. | :27:43. | |
reveals itself in a way we have not really seen before. They made very | :27:44. | :27:49. | |
good friends with the tusk fish, didn't they? Let's look at it in | :27:50. | :27:58. | |
action... COMMENTATOR: At last, so here is a | :27:59. | :28:17. | |
fish that uses tools. APPLAUSE | :28:18. | :28:24. | |
Fantastic! Then as well, obviously, the series talks us through | :28:25. | :28:29. | |
environmental changes, can you tell us about some of those, James? We | :28:30. | :28:35. | |
did not set out to make an environmental series but if you go | :28:36. | :28:38. | |
to meet some of these characters you will live in their world and see the | :28:39. | :28:42. | |
changes happening and we went to film the walrus up in the sea ice in | :28:43. | :28:47. | |
the Arctic, but over the years that has retreated, and it has led to a | :28:48. | :28:52. | |
worrying situation for the walrus up there, which is quite a moving | :28:53. | :29:00. | |
story. We can see that all on Blue Planet, on Sunday. | :29:01. | :29:12. | |
We'll be back tomorrow with Greg James and Dotty, talking | :29:13. | :29:20. | |
And Prince's sister, Tyka Nelson, will be here. | :29:21. | :29:24. |
