25/09/2013 The One Show

Hello and welcome to the One Show with Matt Baker. And Alex Jones. We

are spending this evening with old friends. We are helping two beetle

finds to reunite after 40 years -- two Beatles fans. Lynne! We are

doing our best to help a stranded ship 's captain from Russia get back

to where he once belonged more were his friends and family are waiting

for him. Melanie Chisholm is popping in to

see us later. And top of the bill, a man anybody

would be delighted to have knocking on their front door with a bottle of

wine and someone the full stories. It is the one and only Ronnie

Corbett. # I want to hold your hand.

Thank you to the Ultimate Beatles. That was the national -- natural

mover in me bubbling out. You are a fan of the Beatles? Indeed I am. I

grew up with them. Well, I didn't grow much, but I was around with

them. Favourite song? Now you are catching me. You like them all. That

was a good one, I want to hold your hand. Was that what it was? Well,

obviously, you have had a wonderful career, working with a huge array of

stars, but it is of course the two Ronnies that takes some beating. Up

to 17 million viewers tuned in to watch you both light up our screens

in the 70s and 80s, a time Ronnie is remembering in a new documentary

series starting tonight. In honour of the two Ronnies, we are giving

you at home your chance to vote for your favourite two Ronnies sketch.

This is why we remember them with such affection. I was seven or eight

when I started watching them and really appreciating the humour.

Anybody that? Good morning. Their timing and everything was perfect. I

only wear them for reading and seeing things. Especially when

Ronnie Barker is on all fours. I remember doing that myself. Is there

a dog in here? You sat around and watched it. I would like a tin of

beans. It was almost a tongue twister. Beans and ticking, beans

and Frankfurt, hamburger, steak burger, cheeseburger... Ronnie

Corbett was so small, and most of my family are tiny. Hello, I want to

join the library. They took things to extremes. It was funny. Please

tell this gentleman not to shout. What? They say it as it is. As soon

as they come on, people say, that is life. I will have a pint of... Pint

of bitter. They played off each other brilliantly. With pride.

Within reason. With your overcoat on. No. It's just hooks you in. It

is just hilarious. They are a joy. Some of the nation's favourites

that. We watched some classics back on the internet earlier. I know

everyone asks you about four candles, but is it true that you

could not get through the rehearsals without laughing every time? Yes.

Irresistible piece of fun, isn't it? And of course, Ron wrote it

following a letter he got from a man in the hardware business who was

asked to fork handles. It is a true story, based on that

misunderstanding. And then it was elaborated. But the language used,

for you, learning the stuff? Funnily enough, I don't remember one or I

having any difficulty learning sketches. We would go home at night

and say, we will do four candles tonight and the library sketch

tonight, and the next day we came in and we knew them both. Once you get

used to learning them, your mind has had more practice. And you both knew

exactly what each other was thinking. For this week's One Show

vote, we are asking you, which is your favourite two Ronnies sketch?

We have selected four brilliant ones to choose from. They are sketches

you don't see often, so we are sorry if you were one thing four candles,

but that is not on the list. We have seen a lot of that. Here are the

ones on the list. Or you can sign in and vote online

for free. The vote ends at 7:35pm sharp. We

will play your favourite at the end. We will not ask you for your

favourite, because we don't want to sway the vote. It is confusing,

because we did several bug sketches and several library sketches. Well,

we will show the ones we showed in that little film. Now, we are often

told by TV ads how easy it is to claim compensation after an accident

at work or on the road. So you could be forgiven for thinking that after

having languished in jail for six years and then having your

conviction overturned, you would automatically receive a pay-out for

the years of liberty you have lost. Well, not quite.

It is hard to imagine anything is soul destroying as being locked up

for a crime you did not commit, or the feelings of relief when you are

told it has all been a huge mistake when you are allowed to go free. You

would hope that would be the end of it, but in many cases it is the art

of a completely different nightmare. These two men when to jail in 2002

for a crime they did not commit. One was found guilty of murdering his

government sentenced to life imprisonment. Keith was it dude of

helping cover up the crime and given five years. It was like your whole

world imploding. But a BBC rough Justice programme in 2005

re-examined the evidence to prove that they could not have been at the

scene. Innocent men were sent to prison. They appealed, and their

convictions were overturned two years later. I just feel like doing

a lot of shouting. Having served nine years between them, the joy of

release soon turned to despair, as life on the outside started to bring

its own set of opens. I would go out with my mates, but always make sure

I was with three or four people, just to make true or that if

anything did happen, I did not get accused of it again. A few times, I

stayed in for weeks on end and never came out of my room. History is

littered with cases of miscarriage of justice, but not everyone has

been compensated for the time they have spent behind bars. In 2001, ten

years after they were released, the Birmingham six were awarded sums of

up to £1.2 million. They had been in jail for 16 years. In 2006, the

government changed the qualifying criteria to reduce the number of

eligible cases. Since then, compensation awards have fallen to

just 19 in the last five years. A cap of £500,000 was also

introduced, or £1 million for people who have spent ten years or more in

jail. So how does it work, and why is it so difficult to get

compensation if a judge has already quashed your conviction? Solicitor

Bill Bates were presented Angela Cannings, a mother who spent 18

months in jail after being wrongly accused in 2002 of murdering her two

baby sons. He fought a five-year battle before ultimately securing

compensation. Why is it so difficult to get compensation? Principally

because the system has to to get compensation? Principally

distinguish between making compensation available to those who

have undoubtedly been sent to prison wrongly and those who have had their

convictions quashed on a technicality. The government does

not want to be seen to be writing cheques in favour of people who are

otherwise generally thought to be criminals. Barry White and Keith are

adamant. That is why they have been waiting six years without weight --

receiving compensation. They believed the Ministry of Justice

still isn't convinced that they are innocent. I thought I had been

proven innocent. How can you say no, we still think you might have

done it? But earlier this month, everything changed when another man

was tried and convicted of the murder of Barry White's former

girlfriend, ritual Manning. I never thought someone would get arrested.

I thought it was another case that would be left unsolved. We arranged

for Barry and Keith to meet Michael O'Brien, who spent 11 years in jail

for a murder he did not commit. He won over £900,000 in compensation.

He is now involved with the miscarriage of justice organisation.

We have had a written apology from the police. So what is the advice

you would give at this stage? They will have to be patient. There will

not be a problem getting compensation. The problem is how

much they will get, like a loss of earnings and stuff like that. There

are so many things more like mental injury, being taken away from family

life. Thames Valley Police, who conducted the original

investigation, have already apologised to both Keith and Barry.

The fight for compensation is all that remains. I want some closure

for myself. They can't use any more excuses. They need to pay us what

they owe us so we can move on with our lives.

Joe is here now to give us an update on that case. What is the latest? In

the last few hours, we have learned from sources close to the case that

compensation will be paid to them both. The Ministry of Justice will

not confirm this at the moment, so we don't know any detail, but that

is what we understand will happen. And this has come off the back of

the other guy being convicted? Exactly. It is a huge relief for

them. And they did six years each? In this case, it was six years for

Barry and three years for Keith. It is the most awful situation to be

in, but what is the best they can hope for? Michael said it is a

complicated claiming process. The compensation will be decided by an

independent assessor. The maximum they could get, because it is

capped, the maximum they could get would be £500,000 for someone who

spent less than ten years in prison. The factors include how

serious the crime was, how long they spent in prison, their behaviour

during the process, as well as any previous convictions and how the

prosecution conducted themselves. That decides how much you get, but

the assessor can also take money away. People may be surprised to

learn this. Money can be taken back for bed and board, the money that

person would have spent on accommodation, food and drink.

Michael on that film had £37,000 taken back on his possession for bed

and breakfast. So you are effectively paying to be in prison?

It is discretionary, so it does not always happen, but they should

prepare themselves for that possibility. Why, then, in some

cases, with the Justice Secretary not award any compensation at all?

The feeling is that the state does not want to pay people who have got

off on a technicality. You need to prove your innocence. You need a new

piece of evidence that is so compelling that no conviction could

possibly be based on it. As you said, someone else has now been

convicted of this murder, so for those two, that has done it for

them. But we heard the case of those two, that has done it for

another Barry, Barry George, whose long-running case for compensation

still has not been successful. The then Justice Secretary Jack Straw

said he did not meet the criteria. He went to the High Court in

January, and they said jurors could still have reasonably convicted him,

despite the new evidence. When he took it to the Court of Appeal, they

said he had no realistic prospect of success. So it does not look like

it'll in his case. Ronnie has a brand-new series starting this

evening, and watching the documentary, we love the story about

how you and Ronnie Barker got your big break on the BBC originally

because of a technical hitch. That's right, at the Palladium. What

happened? You filled 45 minutes! That is exaggerating! Seven or

eight. But it felt like 45! Yes, we floundered around and entertained,

and Paul Cox was sitting there and he said, had you like these to as

BBC artists? We were with London weekend television at the time. The

next day, something happened, they will just back, and we were under

the David Frost paragon, we had signed contracts. We will talk about

the late Sir David Frost in a moment. You dig deep in the archives

for this, and the wonderful thing is, you find that footage of you in

the BAFTAs. We have got it here! Incompetent poltroon! You failed to

obtain my divorce! When will I be rid of this occurs at Queen? I am

going, I am going. I shall be boiled in oil, flogged and hanging chains!

Oh, a party! I love your costume! Isn't it great? I know! Because my

work in nightclubs with Danny LaRue, I was used to handling such vast

bits of material. Going back to that moment when things start to go

wrong, were you thinking, this is the end of it? Or were you thinking,

this is the beginning of something? I was just thinking, how do we get

this is the beginning of something? through this? What did you do when

you filled? I can't remember now, it was all panic, but we did fill it up

and it was a critical time for us. Also, the channel we were with at

that age work rumbling and altering and changing their ways, so it was

quite easy exit for us. We were just talking about Sir David Frost. The

Frost Report was a turning point for you. It was, finally enough I had an

e-mail today from John Cleese. For Ronnie Barker, myself and John

Cleese, a complete change in our lives via David and The Frost

Report. I was working in nightclubs and Ronnie Barker was more

experienced on television, he was doing shows with Jimmy Edwards. He

did a radio show also John Pertwee. I was at the nightclub with Danny

LaRue, and John was capering around with some undergrad doing funny

writing! And then the two Ronnies became such an incredible part of

television. Quite different from the type of comedy that is out there

now. Yes, I think that is right. We were very fortunate we were in

control of ourselves to such an extent. The BBC observed that. We

could make a series of eight programmes before even the first one

went out. So we had eight programmes ready in a chunk. So there was no

panic editing or worrying, or thinking what we were going to do.

To put the documentary together, you have looked back over lots of your

footage, do you think there is anything out there that is similar

today? Or as good even? Well, it's anything out there that is similar

all different. Much more outrageous stuff nowadays. Do you think there

is that light entertainment, do you think it is missing nowadays?

Probably a little bit of it, because people are having a quick success in

their lives earlier, being successful in their mid-20s. Are

they ready for it? Obviously, Ronnie and I were in our mid-, late 30s.

More comfortable. There is no similar duo! You can see them at 8pm

on the Gold channel. We have a new face on the One Show. Underwater

explorer and action man Andy Torbot. How about a flooded quarry for his

first adventure? The picturesque valleys of North Wales. Over 100

years ago, "is dominated this landscape and stop at its peak the

region produced over 80% of Britain 's slate. A vast -- the last quarry

closed here in 1948. It's going to be a challenge but I want to explore

what remains of the abandoned subterranean world that exists right

between my feet. Unlike old mining, slate quarrying doesn't require deep

tunnels. Only when the Gourock is exhausted at the surface is the

slate to be blasted out. This quarry was constantly prone to flooding.

When it closed, the pump keeping its tunnels dry were shut off. Salvage

merchants salvaged most of the machinery from the upper levels but

everything at a deeper level was abandoned. It's all still down

there, frozen in time. I'm hoping to get a glimpse of it. Elizabeth

Taylor 's father was the last owner of the quarry. She visited the

tunnel as a girl and I'm hoping she can shed some light on what I might

find. I was a proper tomboy, so jumping on a flat truck, suited me

fine. I do remember having to stop at one town, because they were

blasting further on so we had to wait. What should I expect to see

down there? Probably trucks which never came up, nobody seemed to see

much of them after they closed. I am planning to dive 100 feet below the

surface level to the deepest part of the quarry will stop its certainly

not a dive for the faint-hearted. Along with my cameraman, I have two

safety divers going in with me and the supervisor. It takes you to some

of the most oppressed environments on Earth. Cold, dark, damp and' big.

-- claustrophobic. The unstable geology is not your biggest problem.

In the past when there have been fatal dives, the postmortems have

shown that most of the divers have plenty of benefit in their tanks,

it's usually a panic situation that has led them to actually die. So we

are using some specialist kit which effectively recycles one breath for

the whole dive. Crucially for this, it braces no bubbles because bubble

testing besieging can also cause cave-ins, if that happens when you

dive, you are having a very bad day. I can't use a committee case and is

device so I'm relying on the divers waiting at the tunnel entrance to

relay messages to and from the surface. After more than four hours

of preparation, it's time to go in. Following a safety line, we make the

dissent in stages. But as soon as we get down to 25

metres, its worth taking. -- it is breathtaking. I can clearly to the

tracks reading down into the tunnel. breathtaking. I can clearly to the

And the flatbed trucks, just like the ones Elizabeth would have

travelled down. The steam engine and its now broken drive belt would have

powered the haulage lifts. Gear wheels would have formed part of the

winch to lift the slabs of state onto the tracks. And then I come

across something much more poignant. Written on the walls are names. Ted,

the initials eg J. These are probably the names of the rock men

who were once in charge of drilling probably the names of the rock men

and blasting specific parts of the quarry. The Marx would have been

their way of keeping track of each chunk of slate sent to the surface.

I have found more than I could have hoped for. As visibility

deteriorates, we decided to call it a day. What an experience, what an

incredible window into our industrial past. Especially the

writing on the wall. We have brought home the history of the place. It

was a technical and tricky dive, but nothing to bed to the hazardous

conditions those quarry men would have faced working down there, day

in, day out. Thanks, extraordinary to see those names. Quite eerie,

that. Maybe family members have been watching tonight. Andy will be back

next month, and he will dive at one of these. This is off the

Pembrokeshire coast. We are asking you to vote for which two Ronnies

clip you want to see later in the show.

Texts are capped at one text number. Or you can vote online for

free. The vote will end in ten minutes. We

will see the skit with the most votes later in the show. We have a

bit of a mathematical problem to you to solve. First of all, we will have

the Ultimate Beatles to play us in. Music-macro We can work it out

music-macro We can work it out. Thank you, lads. This is the formula

that we will be using to try and work this out. This comes from your

autobiography. What is your formula? At the school dance that used to

take place in the gymnasium, I would sit and gauge the girl 's height,

where her shoulders came on the parallel bars. That equals Ronnie 's

type! So we will do that with the girls we have sat over there. We

will start with Amy. From here, it can you work that out? I have to

say, the bar isn't quite parallel. But I think she does seem quite a

safe bet for me to walk up and ask her. I think she may be about five

foot two. Look at that! Absolutely nailed it! Hello, B. This is windy.

How tall do you think she is? I think she is about five but seven.

How tall are you? She has got long legs! That would give me a real

fright, you see. And Melanie! Five feet ten. In these shoes, maybe.

Come on over! Lovely to see you, as always. Thanks also to Amy and

Wendy. So yes, you are preparing to go back on the road with Jesus

Christ Superstar? It's really exciting, we toured the UK a year

ago and it was so popular and went down so well that we are doing it

all over again. Let's have a look at the cast in action.

It is such a great production. It is an arena tour, so it is on a much

bigger scale than it has been done before. And it is the same caste? We

bigger scale than it has been done have a few new ones in the ensemble,

but we toured Australia in June, so it will be the second time we have

toured together. Tim Minchin is back as Judas, Chris Mills is back --

Chris Moyles is back as King Herod. And you are all friends? Yeah. None

of us knew what to expect, and I was a bit scared of Tim Minchin, because

he is incredible and I did not think he would have time for a Spice Girl.

But he is such a lovely man that we all hit it off. It starts on the 1st

of October in Glasgow. Are you rehearsing every hour that God

sends? No, we start on Sunday. But we had a really successful touring

Australia not long ago, so we just need to push it back to where it

needs to be. Where are you playing in Glasgow? Actually, there is a

brand-new arena that which has only opened recently. And there is a new

arena in Leeds which has just opened as well, and the O2 in London. We

are all over the place. Check the website. And did Ben Foster win his

place through a talent show? He did. He is amazing. Such a talented guy.

You have been doing musical theatre, like Blood Brothers in

2009, you have nearly been doing it as long as the Spice Girls. My

goodness, I never thought of it like that. It was a short space of time

we were together. When you compare the two, doing your arena stuff, it

feels quite like the audiences you would be used to, but I guess the

structure of theatre is restricting for you, as opposed to the freedom

of a pop star? The biggest difference for me is the

responsibility. If you are doing a piece that has been written a

certain way, you have to do it that way, and if you make a mistake,

there are a lot of people you are letting down. There is the whole

caste. If I do a solo gig or Spice Girls show, if we go wrong, we can

have a laugh with the audience. You can't do that here. But do you add

live a little bit if you are doing the show over and over again? Not at

all. They would come down on us like a bricks. But the energy and the

audience is different every night. You never know what will happen. It

is the reaction you get from the audience, because they are so far

back. Do you feel you are intact with them? Not the same as in

smaller places. It is not like a theatre. It is two worlds colliding

for me. But it is two of my passions. Ronnie, you will have to

get some tickets. We will all go. Get a bag of Maltesers. You can see

Mel and the Jesus Christ Superstar caste on tour in October the 1st in

Glasgow, followed by Liz, Birmingham, Nottingham, Manchester,

London and Liverpool. And you are going to stick around, because you

have got some good news? I have got a secret to tell.

Ultimate Beatles, can we have another track, please?

# back in the USSR. # Don't know how lucky you are.

# Back in the USSR. Now it is the strange tale of two

seamen marooned in a south coast port aboard a ship that is going

nowhere. They have nothing against Shoreham by Sea, but Igor and

Mikhail are desperate to go home. There is a Russian proverb which

says a lonely person is at home everywhere. That might ring true for

any seafarer, but I am here in Shoreham by Sea, a sleepy port on

the West Sussex coast, to meet one Russian sea captain who has been

waiting to go home for eight long months. This unlikely story started

in January, when independent months. This unlikely story started

shipping, a British company that had this ship, failed to pay her £32,000

fuel bill. The ship was served with an arrest warrant by the Admiralty

Marshall, and so, since January, has not been allowed to leave port. But

this in pounded ship is not empty. Captain Mikhail Poliakoff and able

Seaman Igor have lived on the ship for 245 days. The rest of the nine

strong queue -- crew have flown home. None of them have been paid,

and the captain says he is staying put until everybody gets their

money. How do you manage when you have not been paid for seven months?

It was very difficult. For a Seaman's family on shore, for

example, I have one child. My able Seaman Igor has two children. I

don't know how they are living without the wage. Who will help

them? I don't know. The whole family are living very poorly. Captain

Mikhail and Igor not allowed onto the mainland, but under

international see legislation, they are allowed to visit the port town.

But the captain prefers to stay with his ship. It is a bleak and slightly

surreal reality, but helping captain Mikhail and Igor is reverend

Rogerstone, from charity the apostleship of the sea. What sort of

support are you providing? Spending time with the crew, trying to help

them in different ways. How would you describe their emotional state

at the moment? I think they are very vulnerable. It is easy to be

deceived that they are OK. Yesterday, when I was chatting to

Igor, he was very low and depressed, because his wife is

struggling at home. While the depressed, because his wife is

captain and Igor wait for a solution, they offer me a tour

around their living quarters. Ironing board, very important. Yes.

Not very big. Not very modern. Not Ironing board, very important. Yes.

very new, is it? And I have got something for the two seafarers

myself. Here is a little gift from The One Show, gents. Gift? Puzzles,

crosswords. Excellent. Herrings. Thank you very much. Best of luck.

The two Ronnies sketch vote has now closed. Do not vote. You may still

be charged. The company involved in that story has asked us to say they

are working hard to settle the outstanding wages, and they hope to

do so within six weeks. They also say they are in daily contact with

the two men, who are not relying on charity, because they had the same

money for food and fuel as if the ship were at sea. Here's hoping they

get back to their family soon with their wages.

Now, they may not be going anywhere fast, but with the prolonged

sunshine around the coast this summer, plenty of people have been

out on the water and many have got into trouble. Statistics released

this week revealed that the RNLI lifeboat crews and lifeguards have

their busiest summer in 24 years. Photographer and lifeboat volunteer

Nigel Millard is with us, along with some of his colleagues from Torbay

and London. What a lovely bunch of people. Nigel has put all these

pictures together in this book. What was your main goal behind the book?

This was a personal project. I am a photographer. It started in 2005. I

would hang out at the lifeboat station for a few days a week, and

then I visited more stations. In 2008, I became a volunteer on the

crew at Torbay, and in 2010, the book was born, along with the

writers and the publisher, and I have spent the last few years

shooting to get imagery for the book. They do say a picture paints a

thousand words, and when you look at those, you are therein the action.

Let's have a look at some in particular. What was the story

behind this? Where were you? I am in a little white boat. We are a couple

of miles out in a rather lumpy sea, hanging on. It was one of the first

images I did for the project, and still one of the strongest for me,

because it has all the drama of a lifeboat rescue. When you talk to

casualties, they say they don't see anything, and then a flash of Orange

appears. RNLI families are important. These are the our family

from Torbay. Will Andrei Arshavin the audience to night. We'll is on

the left. Keith is a gold-medal coxswain will stop and Marjorie,

their mum, Colin, a lifeboat press officer, and Ray, on the end, who is

also in the audience. Marjorie works for the fundraising Guild and raises

money around the country. She raised over £140,000 for the RNLI each

year. Without that, we could not put the boats to see. Ed William example

of people power. There are endless rescues that are depicted in this.

Show us this one as well. This is from Torbay lifeboat a couple of

years ago. We received a Mayday call and we launched as quickly as we

could. Lucas, one of our divers, is here tonight. They dived in normal

conditions, and when they came up, it was thick fog. We had difficulty

locating them. I was looking after Luke, one of our crew doctors. He

attended to the other casualties. Luke was airlifted. Then I grabbed

the camera to shoot this. Sometimes the camera never comes out of the

bag. It is a fine balance, working out when to take the shot. My role

as a crewman comes first, the camera second. What is it like to have your

story told in this? It is a day we will never forget. I lost

consciousness underwater. We were so grateful when the lifeboat turned

up. We heard it first, and to have their resources and skills was

fantastic. And how is Anna now? She is fine, I am fine. We have come to

terms with what happened. I am diving again. Diving is a great

ought, a really pleasurable sport, and these things are. It is

something people should try and enjoy. And of course, Richard was

the guy in the picture next door who saved you. Thanks to Richard and

everybody. Nigel's book, The Lifeboat - Courage On Our Coasts, is

published on the 30th of September. Thank you to all the volunteers from

the RNLI across the UK. Now, Ronnie, we think you might love

the next DT, because it is a subject close to your heart. It is all about

the next DT, because it is a subject dogs, more specifically a Jack

Russell called Eric. He is lovely. Mel, we know you are allergic to

dogs, so you might not like this, but bear with us, because he is cute

and he belongs to EastEnders' big no.

This is my pet Jack Russell, Eric. I call him my little man, and he is

the best pet I have ever had. I have called Eric Eric after Eric Clapton.

I would say he is very loving, very loyal, follows me everywhere. He

also plays football. But it has got to be a good ball, because it is

gone within five minutes. There are over 4500 back Russell is registered

in the UK, and I can see why they are a such a popular dog. As well as

having bags of energy, they are also incredibly loyal. And I go on

holiday, my daughter or granddaughter stays here and looks

after him, and he sits up there and just waits till I come home will

stop although I have had Eric for eight years, I don't know much about

where Jack Russell 's come from. I have heard that they get their name

from a parson who lived here in the 1800s. I have gone to find out more.

The village of swing bridge is where it began for the Jack Russell line

The village of swing bridge is where all those years ago. I have come to

meet a reverend and who knows a thing or two about his famous

predecessor. This is where in 1832, Parson Jack Russell, or John

Russell, as he was known, came to start his ministry. He served here

for over 40 years as I Irish priest. He was a wonderful man, a

great hunter and sportsmen. He was known as Parson Jack, the hunting

parson. The most common hunting dog of the day was a fox terrier, but

their dark colouring made them easy to mistake for the fox in the hunt.

Jack saw the potential to create a new line of dog with lighter

colouring that would make them more effective hunters. They needed a dog

that was sturdy, that could keep up with the horses, but was small

enough to go into the fox's ten to force them out to start the hunt.

They bought the first dog from a milkman, which he bred from. That

dog was called Trump. Trump was a white terrier. The group was small,

quick and strong, but traditionally, they were only used as pets. Jack

thought that if he could breed Trump selectively with fox terriers, he

could achieve his ideal hunting dog. After 12 years of careful

breeding, the Jack Russell line was established. Signs of the man and

his dog are everywhere here, including the local pub, where I am

eating a Jack Russell breeder to find out how the dogs are used

today. Jack Russell 's are very versatile.

It is a working dog. What are the physical characteristics of the Jack

Russell terrier? You are looking for a strong dollar, it should be as

long as it is tall. Almond shaped eyes, the ears laid forward and a

strong jaw. Very important that it has a good, thick coat, for working

in different weathers, but generally, a well-balanced dog that

can work underground, aboveground and run all day. Parson Jack Russell

was one of the founders of the kennel club. The dog that there is

his name has never been officially recognised as a breed. Jack Russell

enthusiasts believe that official recognition would lead to the dog

being selectively bred and that their qualities as a working dog

would be lost forever. What you must remember is that the Jack Russell

today is one that has been kept the way it is for over 100 years, since

John Russell first bought that terrier. It's time that me and Eric

were reunited so I have brought into Warwickshire to the terrier club. I

just hope he doesn't get too jealous! Today is a confirmation

show, you get an experienced person to judge people 's Terriers.

Everybody wants to win a rosette and a trophy. Why is it you have got

Jack Russells? I just love their characters. My husband has bred them

the years. I have got 23! Well, it has been an interesting couple of

days. I am pleased to have find out -- found out where the line

originated from. And the Jack Russells today are as popular as

they were 200 years ago. It's quite funny to have her on the One Show!

You were watching that with interest, you have had one. Yes, we

did have a Jack Russell. We were off out of the theatre, this Jack

Russell was in the Garrard on its own. With somebody had dumped him, I

don't know full stop we took into the house, somebody was the house,

we came back after the show, they were sound asleep on Sophie, our

daughter 's bed. We had him forever after that. You have a new dress

code -- rescue dog now. You are having a bit of trouble? He is not

having any problem with and, he adores every move she makes, any

whimper, he picks up on. He doesn't hate me, as long as she is about!

She does the calling, you do the treating. Yes, yes. Treat, treat.

Very good. Go on, throw him a treat. Let's just try that once more.

Excellent. He is on his way back. You look well suited. Yes, she was

very good, that lady. You should get match committee is cheaper! He is

like a dog whisperer. He had obviously been abused by a male. He

hates brushes. I am enough other mail for him to hate me. It's that

testosterone! The programme continues straight after the

programmer Cron Fridays. Now to two Beatles fans who have been reunited

after 40 years. We go on the trail of a tape-recorded message of two

after 40 years. We go on the trail fans of the 54 who turned up in a

car-boot sale in great Yarmouth. The Beatles are top of the hit parade,

performing a series of sold-out gigs in front of thousands of screaming

fans. In the audience at the Lewisham Odeon were two teenage

girls who were absolutely swept away by Beatlemania, as we all were.

After the gig, they decided to send their idols are message. They

recorded it on a reel to reel tape and left it at the next venue where

the Beatles would be playing. Hi, boys, we hope you like our message.

I am Barbara, I'm 17, five foot four. I am Linda, I am 19, I have

green eyes. Our dream is that we see you, we can always live in hope!

This is the actual tape box. It says, to await collection or

forward, please, to the Beatles. We are not sure if the Beatles ever

even saw it or not. But we did at half a century later, it ended up in

the rock 'n' roll centre of rate Yarmouth! That when it was

discovered by local historian David McDermott. It was just incredible,

it was like going back 50 years and sitting inside a bubble and actually

being there when these girls were making the tape. What was the

feeling you were getting from its? Magic, the hairs on the back of my

neck went up. The first thing that passed my mind was, are these two

girls still with us? David had no idea how to find out so he turned to

the One Show for help. We set out to try and find them. The only things

we had to go on where their names, Barbara and Linda. After weeks of

trawling through records, our researchers eventually found

Barbara, she is still a massive Beatles fan. So we brought here to

the exhibition in Liverpool. Barbara! Do you remember making this

magical take? I do, it was in my bedroom in a place called ELT in

south London. What was your motive? It would have been nice if they had

listened to it and thought, these girls we have to meet! Barbara and

Linda lost contact over 40 years ago and Barbara would love to see her

friend again. I have looked on line and on Facebook, but honestly, I

can't find her. Well, the One Show has found, now living just 40 miles

away in Leon C. I would like to introduce you to another really good

Beatles fan. Here she is! She's called Linda! Linda! I don't believe

it! I would have never recognised you! I recognise you now! The girls

are being reunited with their tape, which David has transferred to CD,

so they can once again listen to it. 50 years since you have heard this

tape, so here we go. It would be to reflect to meet George. I know why

she likes Paul, it is those fantastic area legs!

Happily reunited, Barbara and Linda go on a tour of the exhibition. The

Beatles story going to put their tape online and we have one more

surprise to them. We finally did get the tape to Paul. He says, thank you

very much for your lovely tape, it finally got through. At a late than

never. Write to hear that he found each other after all these years.

Keep enjoying the music, love, Paul. That's fantastic! I can't believe

it. That is incredible. Thank you both very much!

Heart-warming story. Their husbands are also here but they are hiding

over there, they are too embarrassed! Lovely that they are

all back together. We promised you a Mel C special announcement. It's big

news! She's having a big birthday next year and you are going to

celebrate in style! I am commanded to do a one-off show in Shepherd's

Bush on the 11th of January, celebrating turning 40! So you are

doing a big shout out! Tickets go on sale on Friday. I am going to do

loads of songs from my solo work, get some friends to come and join

me, we will have a big party with loads of fun. And well those friends

potentially be part of the Spice Girls? Possibly. I will be putting

the message out to people I have worked with over the years. Fingers

crossed we will have a good lunch. Is it still a good theatre? It's

great! It was my never one choice, I was lucky enough to get it. It is

every time you go to a place can you associate it with the theatre! The

Shepherd's Bush Empire, I did it with amen Andrews, and then The

Frost Report was done live from the Shepherd's Bush Empire. That's what

it is amazing, when you play these venues, there is so much history.

Right, as you were saying, tickets for her amazing birthday will be on

sale from Friday. So all the for her amazing birthday will be on
