25/10/2017 The One Show

Hello and welcome to

The One Show with Ore Oduba.

And Alex Jones.

It's time to dust-off your

Raspberry Beret and make

sure you're dripping

in Diamonds and Pearls,

because tonight we're celebrating

the life of a true original.

# Purple rain, purple rain...

# She wore Arab Asbury array, the

kind you find in a second-hand

store...

We'll be looking at a new exhibition

celebrating Prince's music

with his sister Tyka.

And two radio DJs who are bringing

a brand new music show to BBC1 -

ten years after the end

of Top of the Pops.

It's Greg James and Dotty!

They love you already, that is a

good start. And they have got the

best people for the job.

Dotty, not only do you present

the Breakfast show on Radio 1Xtra,

but you're a recording artist too?

I started my career as a rapper.

That is me in Jamaica.

And you've worked with some big

names - Busta Rhymes, Emeli Sande?

Greg, who have you collaborated

with?

Alex on the One Show! And we

have made pop stars do some slightly

strange things on the show.

And you

have your own musical connection,

let's see it.

I love that! I feel it

is an unfair comparison!

It is a

brilliant combination.

If you were watching last night

you'll have seen the first

of Angellica's reports

from the Caribbean as she

experienced first-hand

the devastation left behind

by Hurricane Maria.

It was the most-powerful

hurricane the island

of Dominica has ever faced -

leaving 73,000 islanders

without shelter, water or power.

And Angellica had a personal reason

for wanting to visit.

Dominique is proudly independent

country but it needs its friends in

times like these. Although no longer

a British colony it has strong

connections to the UK and Dominique

and is living overseas have been

answering the call for help. Premy

it is personal because my late

grandfather grew here.

In the

village someone knows someone who

knows someone.

We can go from there.

I'm going to be crossing the island

to his village. During my stay I

have discovered just how slowly life

has been returning to normal. Hull

heart has it been to keep getting

the bread going since the hurricane?

Very difficult. You had to be

running about looking for flour but

now everything is getting back on

track.

You have family in the in

England? Maybe they will see this.

You fed me! We have been on rations

for so many days. Brett has never

tasted so good. I'm loving this.

Phone services still not great so

people stop asked to send messages

home.

Tell the family. My friend

Sandra!

You are from the UK? From

London.

I used to live in the

Manchester area.

I can hear the

accent! You still have family in

England? Yes, three sons.

Where they

worried about you is not yet

especially after the hurricane. I'm

glad you did not experience it.

Like

everyone on the island that day

Rudolph experienced it.

All of a

sudden the sea was breaking through

the window. My daughter and her

boyfriend pulled me out under my

arms. When I woke up in the morning

that is what I found.

Both houses

mashed up on me. This was the worst

hit village on the island, at least

14 people died here. Rudolph also

suffered a tragic loss.

I lost two

of my granddaughters. It was between

the river and the sea. I buried one

and we have not seen the other one.

Back on my trek across the island we

are hit by a sudden downpour and we

get a lucky break. A local man

called expert worked with my great

uncle and showed us the way to where

he lived.

He and I were very close.

That blue house is where he would

have been.

As we arrive I'm soon

told that this is the place where my

grandfather also used to live.

All

this property belonged to him. All

over their app to here. You can

visit, yes.

I cannot believe it,

next to the land my grandfather

owned, is his brother, my great

uncle, aged 100 and still here. I'd

go to meet for the first time. It is

a private moment. I feel so

overwhelmed. I do. I feel really

overwhelmed. We came here and I

thought we probably would not find

any family and within the space of

20 minutes it snowballed and I met

my great uncle. I feel such a

connection, with everybody here. I

feel annoyed with myself that I did

not come sooner. Probably with my

grandad, actually. Although it is a

sad time for the people of Dominique

they're so resilient. And positive.

And I feel so blessed to be part of

it. She was so closely affected. I

cannot wait to see her to talk about

the experience.

Days after the hurricane the UK sent

one of its warships, HMS Ocean,

to the Caribbean to pick up British

nationals wanting to return home.

Anita Vidal and her two

children were among them.

Welcome, Anita.

It's not hard to see

why you chose to leave,

but it still must have been

a tough decision?

One of the hardest decisions I've

ever made and my husband and I had

to think about it so much before

saying yes, it is just too

dangerous. There no or water. No

services available. The health and

safety of the kids and everybody

else was at risk and still is at

risk.

But you had to make that

decision. So hard for a these two

especially leaving their dad at

home. Understand the gravity of the

situation?

They do, the little one

not so much. Fifi-Grace is a bit

bigger but every day they ask for

daddy and they cry and we try to

call him as much as possible but

still communication is a bit

sketchy. So we try to get through

every two or three days.

And call

him. What are your long-term plans,

is Chris Hoban to come over as you

might add know you had good news

today.

We had trouble when we first

came back to England, I was not

completely a resident yet but now I

am. And we have been given a house

this morning so we hope the next

step is to look at getting Chris to

join us as a family and hopefully

before Christmas, that would be

nice.

A lot of positives. And you

have a certain connection with Greg

James? Do not be worried! What is

the connection?

He is your son! Not

quite! May be the next!

Anita was

concerned her husband would be

watching! That went a different way

altogether. But she listen to your

show in Dominique.

When I was

working at my office at home every

day I would switch onto Radio 1.

Good for me!

Your show was too late!

And you are doing a new show. Thank

you so much, great news today, we're

so pleased with you and good luck

with everything.

Thank you for

highlighting that Dominique needs

help. And being in the news.

And

more from Angelica on Friday.

Later in the week, anybody who's

paid their TV licence can enjoy Greg

and Dotty's new show.

But we know that many

people download music

without paying for it,

much to the annoyance

of the record companies.

The same goes for

subscription TV of course.

Nick has the story of how

the law is closing in.

The shutters are coming down on

another day in Middlesbrough but for

Brian Thompson business is the last

thing on his mind.

I think there is

every chance I would get a job.

Tomorrow he's been sentenced for

advertising and selling modified

set-top boxes. These boxes are

preloaded with software which allows

free access to pay-per-view TV. The

problem is that is against the law.

Here at Teesside Crown Court the

judge has said we will keep all

options open. And that could mean a

hefty fine or even jail. When Brian

was first charged in 2015 he pleaded

not guilty. Because he said he was

not the one who had preloaded the

boxes with streaming software.

It

was touch and go whether it was

legal or illegal, they said it was a

great area and I went for the other

side and I was wrong.

The media is

was quick to pick up on Brian and

his case with some suggested a not

guilty verdict would be a legal

landmark trial. For sellers facing

similar charges and people buying

the boxes. Online technology

journalist John Porter has been

following the case closely.

There

was this hope that the case would

clarify the position of people

buying or selling these boxes to

have something set in stone that

this is legal.

But as the case was

going to court, the wheels were

training at much higher level. In

April the top European judges ruled

if you buy or sell but set-top boxes

or watch pirated content on them

then you are fair game. And here in

the UK a new ten year jail sentence

was imposed for the very worst

offenders. Soon afterwards Brian

changed his plea.

I had to plead

guilty because I never denied

selling the boxes, I always admitted

it. I just denied adapting them. Now

I have pleaded guilty. I will get

what is coming to me, simple as

that.

For some the case is still a

turning point in the debate over

streaming.

It is a chance for

copyright holders to hammer home the

point that illegal streaming can get

you into serious trouble.

It is the

morning of sentencing. I'm meeting

up with Brian as he gets ready for

court.

How are you feeling? Probably

a bit nervous.

But it is what it is.

Do you think you have a

responsibility not to be selling

these boxes or at least find out

exactly more about them?

I looked at

it just that I was selling the box

and it was up to the individual what

they watched and tuned in to.

Do you

now regret all this?

Of course I do

but you cannot turn back the clock.

As Brian arrives at Teesside Crown

Court the press are gathered outside

and for them the sentencing is big

news. But they're in for a long

wait. Six hours later it is all

over. Brian Thompson has just got

out of court, he has escaped jail,

the judge gave him an 18 month

suspended prison sentence and he

also faces paying tens of thousands

of pounds in compensation. The judge

made it clear that the next person

convicted of a similar offence may

not be so fortunate. I caught up

with Brian after the hearing to find

out what he thinks of the decision.

He is sending a strong message and I

do not know how much financially it

is going to cost me. Even though I'm

running a successful business now, I

still have the burden of that order.

So what does this mean? Well

Middlesbrough Council told us

wizened cases in European and UK

courts clearly show that there is no

grey area in the law when it comes

to illegal streaming. As for the

Federation against Copyright theft,

they said that the law is now black

and white and those who sell

preloaded boxes are not Robin Hood

characters but criminals. So what

now for the Teesside trader?

I run a

successful business. No more dodgy

dealing? No more dodgy dealing, I

did not begin was dodgy at the time

but the judges ruled that it is.

STUDIO: The thing is, people have

always looked for ways to get around

paying for stuff.

Greg, people have always been

looking for ways to get around

paying for music too -

you must have made a fair few

mix tapes growing up?

Legally!

Exactly, you would record

the top 40 on Sunday, wouldn't you?

Does that count is my nan, with her

videos, recording The One Show, you

know, she would get put in prison...

You didn't mean it, but she has been

highlighted!

They will be coming for

her now!

LAUGHTER

Just two days until the launch

of your brand new live music show

Sounds Like Friday Night -

how are the nerves?

It is hotly anticipated.

Nervous,

sums it up, but very excited. It is

live TV which I think is the best

kind of TV.

It feels like a great

opportunity.

It is a massive

privilege, isn't it, the first live

music show, for Ageas?

And music is

such a big part of everyone's lives

and is not really represented in

that mainstream way. I think it is

good for the BBC to say, let's put

some really big names on BBC One but

also introduce the audience to some

new artists, that we can champion on

Radio 1Xtra.

There have been lots of comparisons

with Top of the Pops,

but this isn't just a rehash

of an old format?

It is completely different...

It is

not a rehash. The obvious comparison

is it as a BBC show and music show,

and we will have live performances,

but there are so many other elements

to this show, which excite me.

Videos, little sketches, things like

that, so it will not just be a

rundown of the chart.

You can do a show like that in 2017,

you can't just do something on the

telly, you need to grab people's

attention. We will have co-hosts

every week. Liam Gallagher is on one

of them, Liam Payne, so we will

hopefully show you a different side

of pop stars and artists as well,

and do sketches, but Top of the Pops

was an incredible show watched by

millions of people, but it was a

great event. If you can bring that

event TV thing back...

Exactly.

It

was iconic and it made the hosts

household names. We already know

about Greg James and Dotty

individually, but now we have this

new showbiz double act.

The new Morecambe and Wise!

How did

you guys get set up as a pair?

How did your partnership come

about - have you guys

worked together before?

We both swiped!

Dotty has been on

the short for couple of years now

and I thought, well, she is

brilliant, quick, sharp, and I

thought, well, I'm not those things,

so we need someone like that on the

show.

LAUGHTER

But we have been on each other's

show and thought it was really fun

and that we could do something

together. So when it came about

Dotty was absolutely the person I

wanted to work with.

He got me the

job. He has invoiced me already. The

management fee.

LAUGHTER

What Dotty has done with Ellen

DeGeneres, ask a really brilliant

question, it is on you Tube, so I

think she is an absolute gem for the

sure...

The truth is, Dotty, your

mum is only proud of you for being

on this show?

LAUGHTER

I have done music videos, a radio

show, I have got my own TV show

starting, and it was not until today

and I was on The One Show that

finally she is proud.

What is her

name?

Julie.

Hiya, Julie. She is

doing really well.

Really well,

Julie!

Well, week one sees the Foo

Fighter's Dave Grohl try his hand

at being a BBC Continuity

Announcer...

Assisted by your good self, Greg.

The first one coming up next on BBC

One, Homes under the Armour.

Coming

up next on BBC One, Homes... Under

the... Hammer.

OK, next one. They

have a big cliffhanger, you are not

my mother, and then... Yes, I am!

And then the drum roll, East Enders.

OK, coming up next on BBC One...

What was it again?

LAUGHTER

APPLAUSE

He was good, to be fair, a funny

man.

Hero of many people for a long time

but I remember a song he did in the

main diplomatic when he dressed up

as an air stewardess and it was one

of the funny things, funniest

things. The pop song approach has

been great. Give it a go. We do fun

stuff on the radio, so to do it on

the telly will be a dream.

Looking

forward to it. Staying with music...

We teased you with this earlier -

but just a few feet away from us

right now is the actual purple coat

worn by Prince in

the film Purple Rain.

That would suit you, Ore!

Do you

think? A little tighter on the

waistline. We have to wear gloves

and not go anywhere near it, to be

honest.

It's one of hundreds of outfits,

instruments and artefacts

celebrating Prince's life in music,

that will go on show

in London this week.

And Greg's Radio 1 colleague

Clara Amfo has muscled her

way in for a preview.

# Dearly beloved... #.

This is the place that a decade ago

Prince played 21 sold-out nights and

broke the world like that no one has

topped since. So it seems like the

way back here today, we are having a

sneak look at the new My Name Is

Prince exhibition, chronicling

Prince through the ages, and some

agency will be seen for the very

first time outside of his very

famous home at Paisley Park.

I

remember him wearing this, right

here in the O2, and all the tickets

cost £31. This was the very first

time I saw him, and such an amazing

gig.

It was around this time that

Prince first started working with

Alan Evans...

In actual fact it was

probably 50-16 eights because he

used to do 2-3 gigs per day. --

50-60 gigs. And it wasn't just some

pop band knocking at the head. He

didn't care if there was ten people,

a million people, he was just a

performer.

Prince's final jewel, saw

him work with For Di Girl. -- third

eye.

He had several back-up bands,

starting with the Revolution, and

then moving on to the one a lot of

younger fans will connect with. His

style changed, his appearance, the

clothes he was wearing onstage. He

had special sunglasses created, and

we feel this exhibit represent

everything Prince is musically.

And

Prince did love his guitars. There

are plenty here and he would have

had many of them especially made.

Simon Farmer is the man who made

Prince's last guitar.

I built it

with the intention for him, but it

was never an order, just me doing it

off my own back, thinking I would

like to get it to Prince so I got

this e-mail to nine years later, and

I had kind of given up on it by

then. I just couldn't believe it

would be real. I still had the

guitar. He obviously seemed to like

it to order a bass off me as well,

and that is what I was working on

when he died.

In a career that

spanned almost 40 years... It is so

surreal, the Prince sit! His

dimensions were tiny, right? This is

a guy who was an enigma onstage,

ridiculously flamboyant and

completely and fiercely private, so

to have access to him in this really

spatial way is incredible.

Thank you

so much!

STUDIO:

Please welcome Prince's

sister, Tyka Nelson.

APPLAUSE

Great to have you, and surrounded by

all these memories here.

It's only been 18 months

since your brother died -

it feels like yesterday that we lost

the legend.

It must have been tough to go

through his things and decide

what to put in the exhibition?

Yes, he had so many things, what I

was the most shocked about. I knew

about him wanting to have a museum

but in my mind didn't think, you

have to keep all your stuff, from

this point, to there. I didn't think

that way, but all of a sudden things

started to come out, and I was

looking for Angie, one of the people

helping to get all the stuff

together.

We referenced that

earlier, this incredible cloud

guitar.

He was obviously a bit of a hoarder

- the hundreds of items

going on display are just a small

fraction of the things he kept

in storage at his home -

which items really sum

up your brother for you?

Which makes you feel closest to him?

All of them do in their own

different ways. I think the one that

most does is the hat.

OK. It must

have been really painful to wear a?

I don't know if it was. I just knew

when I saw the video, I love the

video, so the next time I saw him I

said, I want a hat like that, and I

picked it out. And then I said,

no...

To heavy! And we will not go

anywhere near it to touch it, we

will take it from your experience!

Can you tell us about growing up,

you must have some amazing childhood

memories?

He was funny, he always

had ideas, let's do this, do that,

he was never boring, and I loved him

so much for that.

Everyone mentioned

the fact he told lots of stories...

He never shut up ever!

You wouldn't

imagine that, would you?

On the

phone, you couldn't get a word and

edgeways. I really felt like I

wanted to tell him, shut up, I have

a story as well, you know!

That

sounds like family.

I would have to

say, someone is here, yeah, and

there was no one in the house, but,

you know, I have to go!

LAUGHTER

Were you always a musical family, or

where there are times you thought,

he is really musical and he will go

off and do that?

We were always a

musical family. Daddy played piano

since I was born, and then when

daddy finally got the piano into the

house, he would play something,

because he had to rehearse every

night, so he would play something,

and then my mum would be in the

kitchen cooking, and because her

name was -- his name was Prince, she

would yell, Prince! That's not

right, and he would ask her to come

in and sing it for him, and she

would come in Witherspoon, and go

like this, so we had all that...

It

was said that you had an inkling

that he would pass away before he

did. Is that true?

I didn't have an

inkling. He told me!

You told you?

Me and my husband were at

McDonald's, and he called, and I

said, hi, told my husband I would go

out, and he thought, this must be

important, and it was Prince. I

started walking, he told me, and I

didn't think anything of it. Two

weeks later he sent a picture and I

was working for him at the time, I

worked for him for about four years,

and he sent a picture and a song,

told me to e-mail it to a couple of

people, and I did. Then I put that

picture up on my computer screen,

because it was a pretty picture, and

a week I looked up and said, snap, I

put together his words with that

picture and said, he's dying.

Sister's inkling, isn't it?

Yes.

Thank you all so much.

That's it for tonight's show -

thanks to our guests,

Greg, Dotty and Tyka.

You can see Sounds Like Friday Night

straight after us on BBC1

at 7.30 on Friday night.
