:00:11. > :00:34.It is The One Show with two special guests, Miss Piggy and me!
:00:35. > :00:43.Hello and welcome to The One Show with Matt Baker. And Alex Jones.
:00:44. > :00:49.Tonight we are joined by two of the most famous nonhuman stars of film
:00:50. > :00:54.and television, ever. The first may be small and green but he is the
:00:55. > :00:59.genius of show business. The other is quite frankly the most beautiful
:01:00. > :01:08.pig that I have ever seen. And you have seen a few! I am beautiful. You
:01:09. > :01:20.are absolutely right. I did not see you there! I blended right in. You
:01:21. > :01:27.are going to give me a heart attack! Kermit the frog and Miss Piggy!
:01:28. > :01:36.Don't worry, Kermit. It is fake frog skin. I was hoping. It is not moist
:01:37. > :01:40.enough to be real frog. How wonderful it is to have you both
:01:41. > :01:43.here. I was reading that one of your biggest fears is not to be
:01:44. > :01:49.recognised, Miss Piggy. Has this happened since you have been back in
:01:50. > :01:53.Britain? No, it hasn't. I have solved that problem. I wear a mask
:01:54. > :02:01.of my own face on the back of my head. So people know who it is
:02:02. > :02:10.whether I am coming or going. Very good. And do you guys know what
:02:11. > :02:16.Muppet means in the UK? Yes, we have heard the term. Rather derogatory. I
:02:17. > :02:22.have worked with the Muppets for a long time and I tend to agree! They
:02:23. > :02:28.are not all the sharpest knife in the drawer. Present company
:02:29. > :02:35.excluded, of course. You have the most beautiful eyes in real life,
:02:36. > :02:41.Miss Piggy. So sweet. You see, that's how you compliment a lady,
:02:42. > :02:47.all right? She not only has them in real life, she has them all the
:02:48. > :02:54.time. In the new Muppets movie, Kermit's nemesis is Constantine. But
:02:55. > :02:57.criminals are not always the masterminds they think they are.
:02:58. > :03:02.Heard about the criminal who held up a shop with his underwear on his
:03:03. > :03:09.head as a disguised? By the man who robbed a bank with his getaway car
:03:10. > :03:13.having his own name on the number plate? Crime does not always attract
:03:14. > :03:20.the smartest candidates. The careers of some criminals have been cut very
:03:21. > :03:24.short by their own stupidity. Take Matthew Draper from Swansea. He
:03:25. > :03:29.broke into a car he could not actually drive off in. I think it is
:03:30. > :03:34.safe to suggest he had not really thought this one through. But our
:03:35. > :03:38.determined thief was not going to give up. He had a brainwave. He
:03:39. > :03:45.decided to ask a passing neighbour for help. This is where the car was
:03:46. > :03:52.parked but he was -- that he was trying to steer. Which car was he
:03:53. > :03:56.asking you to move? The car here. He was trying to steal a car and get
:03:57. > :04:00.out this way. Dmitri told his neighbour that somebody was trying
:04:01. > :04:08.to make off in his car. Unable to drive off, the thief found himself
:04:09. > :04:17.trapped and surrounded. Dmitri filmed the whole episode. You are
:04:18. > :04:23.nicked! I started filming it. I called the police and started
:04:24. > :04:29.filming it. URA photographer. What do you think of this guy who tried
:04:30. > :04:34.to steal the car? He was crazy. Maybe stupid. And very desperate.
:04:35. > :04:38.There was only one way Matthew Draper was leaving that car, in
:04:39. > :04:45.handcuffs. He is now in prison serving a 32 month sentence. Another
:04:46. > :04:51.criminal thought he had covered his tracks. No fingerprints. Wore a
:04:52. > :04:58.Balaklava. How embarrassing for him then to be caught out by the fashion
:04:59. > :05:04.police. Detectives are and Andy Nichol of Kent Police was trying to
:05:05. > :05:09.catch a gang of robbers terrorising shopkeepers across the south-east of
:05:10. > :05:14.England. They were terrifying the victims. They stalled scratchcards,
:05:15. > :05:21.cigarettes and cash to the tune of ?27,000. They wore masks and we
:05:22. > :05:25.could not identify anybody. The police had nothing to go on until
:05:26. > :05:29.the police -- criminals got themselves in it. Two of the gang
:05:30. > :05:34.were arrested on an unrelated matter. We got hold of their phones,
:05:35. > :05:38.which we examined. On these we found a gold mine of evidence. Some of the
:05:39. > :05:43.photos on the phones were damning. And more than a little bit
:05:44. > :05:47.embarrassing as well. One of them was wearing some cartoon pyjamas.
:05:48. > :05:53.They were blue with sheep all over them. They were distinctive. Those
:05:54. > :06:01.trousers were actually worn during a robbery in Eastbourne. They have got
:06:02. > :06:07.a picture of one of the gang wearing them in a home address. The pyjama
:06:08. > :06:14.wearing rubber, Terry Sullivan, and three other gang members were
:06:15. > :06:17.sentenced to 40 years in prison. We are always grateful when criminals
:06:18. > :06:21.implicate themselves through their own vanity and stupidity. It made
:06:22. > :06:33.our job easier and assisted the court in finding them guilty.
:06:34. > :06:37.Definitely a few Muppets there. I think you're right. It is lovely to
:06:38. > :06:42.have a dig around when we get guests on, and see if we can find your
:06:43. > :06:49.first television appearance. We have found a gem. This is one of
:06:50. > :06:57.Kermit's first incarnations, as a presenter on American television.
:06:58. > :07:02.One last question of a political nature, who do you think will be
:07:03. > :07:08.elected president? What is the first name for president that comes into
:07:09. > :07:15.your head? Washington. Always a snappy and humorous reply.
:07:16. > :07:22.You have not changed a bit. That was in 1964 before I started wearing my
:07:23. > :07:29.pointy colour. You were a political commentator? I was. That guy later
:07:30. > :07:33.became Hugh Edwards! Miss Piggy, Kermit always strikes me as being
:07:34. > :07:38.such a level-headed guy. Despite everything that has happened to him
:07:39. > :07:48.in his career. Does he always keep those web pad on the lily pad? Some
:07:49. > :07:53.would say he is a tad boring. That is the love of your life. That is
:07:54. > :08:05.where I come in, to spice things up a little bit. She is one spicy pig.
:08:06. > :08:10.I call her barbecue in private! I have managed to stay out of trouble
:08:11. > :08:18.all these years. I was in a Russian Gulag during this film. Which we
:08:19. > :08:22.will talk about very soon. Before that, another film. You may want to
:08:23. > :08:32.look away. It involves stuffed animals. Cute teddy bear 's? Let's
:08:33. > :08:35.watch. I'm Ben Garrard, an evolutionary
:08:36. > :08:41.biologist with a passion for bones and the stories they can read --
:08:42. > :08:45.reveal. I build all kinds of skeletons for museums, using bones
:08:46. > :08:48.to piece together the past. For The One Show I've been given special
:08:49. > :08:55.permission to examine and reconstruct some unusual remains.
:08:56. > :08:59.Those of a big cat found in the wilds of Newton Abbot in Devon in
:09:00. > :09:04.the early 1900. Big cats have been found roaming in the UK. The
:09:05. > :09:10.dangerous wild animals act of 1976 meant many kept as pets were legally
:09:11. > :09:14.set free. The passing of the act explains these wildcats. But what
:09:15. > :09:21.about reports prior to 1976? Where did those cats come from? Wax Blake
:09:22. > :09:29.is a pH student -- Ph.D. Student in Aberystwyth. We know there have been
:09:30. > :09:33.a variety of species that have lived here over the years. The most recent
:09:34. > :09:44.evidences from 1500 years ago when fossil bones are determined to
:09:45. > :09:47.belong to a links. Be bones are believed to be the first recorded
:09:48. > :09:52.proof of the existence of big cats in the UK since their extinction.
:09:53. > :09:57.This is its stuffed skin. Museum records tell us this cat was shot by
:09:58. > :10:01.a farmer in Newton Abbot after it killed two of his dogs. But tests
:10:02. > :10:08.have shown it is not a native Eurasian lynx but a Canadian one.
:10:09. > :10:17.What was a Canadian lynx doing in a Devonshire field? I am trying to
:10:18. > :10:22.find an answer to that question. This is the first time since 1903
:10:23. > :10:26.that this skeleton has been laid out in anatomical order. This skeleton
:10:27. > :10:30.has a lot of clues which tells me about the life of the animal. The
:10:31. > :10:36.first thing that stands out is how big it is. This is the skull of a
:10:37. > :10:39.normal house cat. This is the school of the links. That is a heck of a
:10:40. > :10:44.big animal to be walking around. There are a few cats that have close
:10:45. > :10:48.this big. These are the tools that do all the killing. There is more to
:10:49. > :10:53.this predator's story hidden in these bones. It has lost a lot of
:10:54. > :10:58.teeth in the front. That is not the most interesting part. In the wild,
:10:59. > :11:04.these cats take them pray. There is lots of meat, lots of bone, lots of
:11:05. > :11:10.tough, hairy hide. This keeps the teeth cleaned. This build-up is
:11:11. > :11:14.plaque. This is usually a sign it was a captive animal. In the early
:11:15. > :11:20.20th century travel menageries were popular in Britain and big cats were
:11:21. > :11:25.often part of these road shows. But our cat was shot by a farmer. If she
:11:26. > :11:31.was a captive animal, how did she end up in his gunsight? There are
:11:32. > :11:37.some interesting things going on. You can see some long toes with some
:11:38. > :11:43.clause. It is not the same here. You have weird, stubby little triangular
:11:44. > :11:47.bone here. At some point in this animal's life its toes were cut off.
:11:48. > :11:54.That is not the saddest thing. The worst thing is when we compare the
:11:55. > :11:59.tibia. You can see a huge break. This was done not after the animal
:12:00. > :12:03.died but way before. This is what we called blunt force from. Something
:12:04. > :12:08.has hit this area so hard the whole bone has snapped. You can tell this
:12:09. > :12:12.because there are early signs that the bone is trying to reform. You
:12:13. > :12:18.have this bubbling on the bone which shows it is trying to heal. My best
:12:19. > :12:22.guess is that this Canadian lynx was badly mistreated, and either escaped
:12:23. > :12:26.or was cast out from the menagerie. She was doing her very best to
:12:27. > :12:31.survive in the British countryside when she had a fateful encounter
:12:32. > :12:36.with a farmer and his dogs. By looking at a pile of old bones I
:12:37. > :12:38.have been able to unravel an extraordinary 100-year-old tale. And
:12:39. > :12:47.reveal the hidden history behind this animal.
:12:48. > :12:54.I think he actually unravel the whole cat! My goodness! I am very
:12:55. > :13:00.comfortable with my place in the food chain. Remarkable. Sometimes
:13:01. > :13:04.you never know what is going on inside some animals. If you want to
:13:05. > :13:11.see more of Ben, the secret of bones is tonight on BBC Two. The Muppet
:13:12. > :13:17.Show run a highly in their new movie. Before we talk about it,
:13:18. > :13:25.let's see the moment you guys meet Dominic bad guy.
:13:26. > :13:34.International tour manager. It is French. It means good man. Listen
:13:35. > :13:41.up. You are hot. You are having a moment. But what is inevitable about
:13:42. > :13:47.a moment? Gains. We have to go out there and capitalise on that
:13:48. > :13:54.moment. I want to conquer the world, do an international tour. Show a
:13:55. > :14:01.global audience what he can do. The amazing Ricky Gervais 's. He has
:14:02. > :14:04.been on the show. He has been a fan ever since he was a little boy.
:14:05. > :14:11.There he was in front of so many Muppets. Did he get starstruck? He
:14:12. > :14:16.showed up on the set and started laughing. He has a high-pitched
:14:17. > :14:24.laugh. He did get stroke once by this star. He is not going to make
:14:25. > :14:29.that mistake again. Be Muppets are on a high at the beginning. Then
:14:30. > :15:06.Dominic shows up. Then Constantine turns up. That's right. The world's
:15:07. > :15:13.number If we can just do that... That is
:15:14. > :15:17.very weird! You look exactly like that other picture. Does that mean,
:15:18. > :15:24.Miss Piggy, that you also fancy Constantine? Let's get one thing
:15:25. > :15:29.straight, that was just very good acting, OK? It was very good acting,
:15:30. > :15:35.I have to pretend to kind of fall for Constantine in this movie.
:15:36. > :15:43.Because you nearly married him. Kermit is the only frog for me. The
:15:44. > :15:47.movie was filmed in Britain, and the original Muppet show was... We have
:15:48. > :15:51.a very long history of being in England, we have many friends from
:15:52. > :16:00.the old days that we saw during the shooting. We were up at Elstree in
:16:01. > :16:05.the ATV days. Let's just remind ourselves of those early days.
:16:06. > :16:07.You are a great bunch, not like the audience last week! They went an
:16:08. > :16:11.audience, they were a jury! If you don't mind, cousin, I will do
:16:12. > :16:37.the jokes! They showed a clip of that! If the
:16:38. > :16:42.Muppet Show came back, who would you love on as guests? We would have to
:16:43. > :16:47.come up with a whole new list, wouldn't we? I don't know, we try to
:16:48. > :16:53.get big stars and old friends. I don't think we'd really need any
:16:54. > :16:58.guest stars. You have become so huge yourself, just interview each other.
:16:59. > :17:02.With all due respect, I think it would be slow for the audience if we
:17:03. > :17:08.just sat on camera four hours talking. What are we doing right
:17:09. > :17:13.now?! Listening, the movie opens this Friday. One of the things
:17:14. > :17:18.Dominic Badguy steals in the film is a painting with a hidden message on
:17:19. > :17:24.the back of it. But as Phil Tufnell has found out, great painters were
:17:25. > :17:27.likely to hide their secret messages in full view, you just have to know
:17:28. > :17:33.where to look. 16th century Britain was a turbulent
:17:34. > :17:37.place, religion was a battle ground, disease was rife and queens were
:17:38. > :17:42.getting their heads chopped off. During these unnerving times, the
:17:43. > :17:47.artist of the day used subtle clues and symbols to reflect this
:17:48. > :17:53.uncertainty. The most popular example of this is Hans Holbein's
:17:54. > :17:57.The Ambassadors, which hangs in the national gallery in London. At first
:17:58. > :18:06.glance, it is just a portrait of two powerful men. But look closer, and
:18:07. > :18:09.it is a masterpiece of hidden messages and mind-bending illusions
:18:10. > :18:15.that have kept experts guessing for centuries. Professor Lisa Jardine
:18:16. > :18:19.knows some of the secret symbols hidden in this national treasure.
:18:20. > :18:24.People love mysteries, they love riddles. The two men are looking at
:18:25. > :18:29.us, saying, solve it, and in the middle of the things they want you
:18:30. > :18:34.to solve. Where do we start? One of the mysteries is the lute,
:18:35. > :18:39.beautifully painted, coming out of the picture towards us. Can you see
:18:40. > :18:45.anything special about it? Not really. It has a broken string. That
:18:46. > :18:50.meant something was wrong, out of tune. That is a religious
:18:51. > :18:55.reference, given it is just above the hymnal. Religious imagery is at
:18:56. > :19:00.the heart of the work. Painted in 1533, the men are French Catholics
:19:01. > :19:06.in London to negotiate harmony with Henry VIII's increasingly Protestant
:19:07. > :19:14.England. Can you see right up behind the curtain at the top? Hiding in
:19:15. > :19:19.the top corner? What is that? It is a crucifix, it might be saying, we
:19:20. > :19:25.are Catholics but we are not letting on. Or it might say, we are drawing
:19:26. > :19:30.the curtain on Catholicism. So lots of hidden meanings dotted about. All
:19:31. > :19:35.over. But the biggest mystery is what looks like a big smudge at the
:19:36. > :19:41.bottom of the painting. What is this in the foreground? Well, it is a bit
:19:42. > :19:46.of real show off painting by Holbein. It looks like nothing at
:19:47. > :19:54.all, as you see it's there, or maybe a couple fish. Yes! But if you go to
:19:55. > :20:01.a particular spot, you have to sit down, excuse me. You will begin to
:20:02. > :20:08.see it. The painting's most extraordinary secret is this hidden
:20:09. > :20:13.skull. He created using an anamorphic technique, so it is only
:20:14. > :20:18.revealed from one position. It is a shocking reminder of man's
:20:19. > :20:22.mortality. It is a fantastic way of grabbing at someone's attention. You
:20:23. > :20:26.move closer to try to figure out what it is, it draws your eye up,
:20:27. > :20:31.and you want to know what the things are. The anamorphic device showed
:20:32. > :20:36.off his painterly prowess and gave him an edge over other Renaissance
:20:37. > :20:43.artists. And now, more than four centuries later, similar techniques
:20:44. > :20:48.are being applied to advertising. Charlie creates anamorphic adverts
:20:49. > :20:52.at major sports events. Brand logos look like a distorted smudge to
:20:53. > :20:56.spectators at the ground, but a carefully positioned TV camera means
:20:57. > :21:02.viewers at home see a perfect 3D image. Why do grounds want the logo
:21:03. > :21:06.seen from one specific position? It is a good question, because it is
:21:07. > :21:10.assumed they want to see it everywhere, but ironically less is
:21:11. > :21:15.more in this case. It is put in a position where the camera it's that
:21:16. > :21:20.bit of the page most often, and if we can create that magic 3D effect,
:21:21. > :21:24.it looks bigger and bolder and gives the sponsor maximum effect. To
:21:25. > :21:28.create the logo for television, Charlie and his team used cattle
:21:29. > :21:33.plotting, a specially programmed robot and good old manpower. --
:21:34. > :21:39.careful plotting. So from the balcony I should see the image
:21:40. > :21:44.popped out. Yes, if it has worked. If it works, an unrecognisable blog
:21:45. > :21:49.of colour should turn into a right flourish from the right spot. And
:21:50. > :21:52.there it is, jumping out. I am impressed to see that Holbein's
:21:53. > :21:58.optical illusion and, friendly, showing off skills are still working
:21:59. > :22:03.just as well more than 400 years after he painted The Ambassadors. --
:22:04. > :22:09.frankly. It worked, look at that! He is here
:22:10. > :22:15.now, and you have been looking at some precious works of art dating
:22:16. > :22:19.back to 1984! It is a fantastic book, Miss Piggy's Treasury of art
:22:20. > :22:26.masterpieces, I have picked out a couple of beauties. Are you into
:22:27. > :22:33.art? The first one, if I can get it out... It is kind of sticky. We have
:22:34. > :22:40.another Holbein, if you can see it. It is a portrait of Henry VIII, an
:22:41. > :22:47.iconic portrait of Henry VIII. Holbein painted it, a very young,
:22:48. > :22:53.fit chap, about 40, when he had just had a very serious jousting
:22:54. > :23:02.accident. You forgot to shave that day, too. A little banana in his
:23:03. > :23:10.year as well. And you have got a lovely one by Gainsborough. This is
:23:11. > :23:17.a handsome one. Look at that! Oh, yes, he is handsome! The light on
:23:18. > :23:24.it! Beautiful colours, a smart suit, a merchant's son in the 18th
:23:25. > :23:29.century, a very handsome chap. Have you got a favourite? The favourite
:23:30. > :23:35.for me, this is an absolute belter, if I can get it out again, hold on a
:23:36. > :23:45.minute! It is the birth of Venus by Botticelli. She takes your breath
:23:46. > :23:50.away! I am strangely attracted to that. On the left, the winds
:23:51. > :23:57.caressing her hair, just blowing in the wind, beautiful. And on the
:23:58. > :24:05.right there, the handmaiden covering her modesty. I am sure she is very
:24:06. > :24:12.modest, too. I could just stare at that for hours. One to finish and?
:24:13. > :24:20.Of course, a very famous one here, the Mona Lisa. Look at the smile.
:24:21. > :24:26.Don't the ice just follow you wherever you go? They certainly
:24:27. > :24:33.follow me! You would never believe that he was into cricket, would
:24:34. > :24:40.you? Really? I am, too, I like roaches and mosquitoes as well, but
:24:41. > :24:44.I like crickets. Brilliant! Thanks. Thank you, Phil. I'm not sure that
:24:45. > :24:48.is what the Director-General had in mind when he said he wanted more art
:24:49. > :24:52.on the BBC! Our guests have shown you do not have to join the human
:24:53. > :24:58.race to be a successful broadcaster, and we believe in that the One Show.
:24:59. > :25:01.When we want to investigate that the ban on fox hunting might be
:25:02. > :25:10.relaxed, there was only ever going to be one reporter for the job.
:25:11. > :25:15.Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear! Hello, welcome to my country retreat. I
:25:16. > :25:18.don't know if you've noticed, but since 2004 I've been spending so
:25:19. > :25:23.much more time in the countryside. However, it looks like things might
:25:24. > :25:29.be about to change. I need to get to the bottom of this, find out if this
:25:30. > :25:39.is what people really want! I need to go in disguise, incognito!
:25:40. > :25:48.They'll never guess it's me! Parliament is debating changes to
:25:49. > :25:53.the Hunting Act of 2004, changing the number of pounds. I was pleased
:25:54. > :26:00.when the ban came in, I would like it to stay that way. They are a
:26:01. > :26:03.complete pest, foxes. Very much against changing foxes, because it
:26:04. > :26:08.would people like you in jeopardy, and we can't have that. To be honest
:26:09. > :26:12.with you, all of my friends who are farmers are not fussed about the
:26:13. > :26:23.amount of boxes on their property. They are more worried about dogs
:26:24. > :26:25.running wild and scaring sheep. I think it is immoral, I can
:26:26. > :26:29.understand the killing of animals for food, but I don't see the point
:26:30. > :26:31.in doing it as a sport. My personal view is that they should be no fox
:26:32. > :26:39.hunting, especially for people like you, Basil. Are you aware Parliament
:26:40. > :26:44.is debating some changes to use more than two hounds up to a possible 40,
:26:45. > :26:48.what you think about that? I think it is fair, they can affect
:26:49. > :26:52.livestock, chickens, farmers have an issue with that. Some people do not
:26:53. > :26:57.understand the situation and the whole reason behind it. Is there a
:26:58. > :27:03.better way of controlling numbers? I think a shot is relatively humane,
:27:04. > :27:07.it is a bit like the badgers. It is necessary for farming to have a
:27:08. > :27:11.certain level of cull, it is unfortunate, but your friends are
:27:12. > :27:18.not always very polite with their eating manners. Lunch later! I think
:27:19. > :27:22.it is quite unfair on foxes, how would you to be chased around by
:27:23. > :27:27.dogs? It is quite a cruel way to deal with it. There is very little
:27:28. > :27:35.you can do with foxes, because they are quite sneaky. We have chickens,
:27:36. > :27:40.so we have experienced it a bit. It is an emotive issue more than in
:27:41. > :27:44.other countries. People should be able to control vermin for the
:27:45. > :27:49.benefit of all of us. Relatives of mine might be safer for a little
:27:50. > :27:54.while longer. I would hope so! Well, that went well, all in one piece,
:27:55. > :27:59.everything still there. Porn
:28:00. > :28:11.That is the other men are redcoats, I did not pay my bill at Butlins!
:28:12. > :28:16.Goodlad, Basil. The latest on that is that measures to relax the
:28:17. > :28:20.hunting ban in England and Wales won't now be debated in Parliament
:28:21. > :28:24.this week. If you are at a loose ends during your stay in London,
:28:25. > :28:32.Basil will show you a good time, give him a call. I would like to be
:28:33. > :28:35.shown a good time! Excuse me? You know what, our movie is opening
:28:36. > :28:41.here, it is called for celebration, Kermit, you should take me out.
:28:42. > :28:51.Where should I take you? Any expensive restaurant! You could go
:28:52. > :28:56.to the Shard maybe. OK, yes. That is all we have got time for, thank you
:28:57. > :29:00.to Kermit and Miss Piggy. We will be back tomorrow, see what seven, good
:29:01. > :29:02.night. -- see you at seven.
