:00:21. > :00:27.Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to The One Show, boys and
:00:27. > :00:32.girls, Gries, budgies, dogs. We have a very special person with us.
:00:32. > :00:38.To be Rorty, possibly the Queen of worldwide entertainment. -- TV
:00:38. > :00:45.royalty. I think she is here now. On the show tonight we have
:00:45. > :00:49.Penelope Keith. Hello, viewers. Hello, Penelope. Penelope has been
:00:49. > :00:59.restoring some houses. I know, I saw the first show. It was
:00:59. > :01:00.
:01:00. > :01:06.beautiful. I approved it for the BBC. That is jolly nice to hear.
:01:06. > :01:15.This is Dr Sarah Jarvis. Please, Doctor! I will wait until that is
:01:15. > :01:22.out, I think. You have to put it in a warm spot. The at is my line!
:01:22. > :01:28.This is Jay Rayner. You have to get some tasty treats with him. Lovely
:01:28. > :01:32.chef's hands. And that is the wonderful, wonderful Chris. Hello,
:01:33. > :01:42.my dear boy. In case you are very new to the television, this is
:01:43. > :01:43.
:01:43. > :01:53.Chris Evans. Would you like to meet the public at home? I would. Shake
:01:53. > :01:54.
:01:54. > :02:03.their hand. Hello, possums. Dame Edna Everage is here! Please, sit
:02:03. > :02:10.down. This is amazing. Dame Edna, thank you so much for coming.
:02:10. > :02:14.Darling, we are so, so happy for you and your lovely dancing. We
:02:14. > :02:20.wish you great success. Thank you very much. It is so nice of you to
:02:20. > :02:24.be with us on our first one-hour show back. Where are you staying
:02:24. > :02:29.when you are in the UK? Considering the extreme discomfort of the
:02:29. > :02:36.studio, viewers, you have no idea. It looks lovely but backstage it is
:02:36. > :02:41.a nightmare. Even the ladies' room, it was... You need to see the men's
:02:41. > :02:46.room! You probably went in by mistake. That was a lovely line up
:02:46. > :02:50.for the start of the show but it was your second of the day. It was
:02:50. > :02:59.because earlier on her Royal Highness Camilla popped in to see
:02:59. > :03:05.us in Strictly rehearsals. This is no joke! I think you are so great.
:03:05. > :03:13.It is a great series. It is petrifying. Will you be watching
:03:13. > :03:17.tomorrow? I shall. I would not miss it. How come she was there? Well,
:03:17. > :03:22.she is a big fan of the show so she asked whether she could come along.
:03:22. > :03:32.I asked whether we needed to curtsy, and we did. We had to address her
:03:32. > :03:36.
:03:36. > :03:40.correctly. I mispronounced it and said hello, can. Luckily that is
:03:40. > :03:47.nearly her name! You have been in lots of line-ups. Knowing them as I
:03:47. > :03:53.do, it does not feel like work. they coming to see you? Do you go
:03:53. > :03:57.to see them? A little bit of both. I really rather adore them. I am of
:03:57. > :04:07.course a Republican and a disapprove of royalty. But not our
:04:07. > :04:09.
:04:09. > :04:14.royalty! I love them. They have perfect manners. Did you find that?
:04:14. > :04:20.They do. Her face was in shadow. I don't think it really was her but
:04:20. > :04:26.that was a lovely clip all the same. We are going with the story that it
:04:26. > :04:29.was her! Did you see this on the TV last weekend? It was Alex Jones at
:04:29. > :04:37.the top of the leaderboard for Strictly! I thought it was
:04:37. > :04:42.impressive. I thought it was impressive, too. I
:04:42. > :04:50.was speechless. Was that the sponsored silence?! Here is your
:04:50. > :04:55.partner, James. Welcome to the programme. Hello, dear. Hello.
:04:55. > :04:59.have been together for the last eight weeks. James, I am really
:04:59. > :05:05.rooting for you. Thank you very much. Top of the leaderboard. Did
:05:05. > :05:09.you ever think you would see that? No, to be perfectly honest. Can I
:05:09. > :05:19.have a copy afterwards in case it never happens again? How did it
:05:19. > :05:24.happen? Apart from Alex best teacher -- having the best teacher
:05:24. > :05:28.on Strictly, which is obvious! She danced very well. She does not take
:05:28. > :05:35.itself too seriously. We have a good time and put in lots of work.
:05:35. > :05:42.We train about eight hours a day and we cannot do much more. Your
:05:42. > :05:46.aim, and it works, is to make the difficult look easy. Alex makes the
:05:46. > :05:51.easy look difficult! That can happen sometimes. How was the big
:05:51. > :05:55.Wembley show? The tango is all about passion. You might have been
:05:55. > :06:00.worried it would not come across on that big stage. But it did. I would
:06:00. > :06:04.like to point out that we did not run through the routine from
:06:04. > :06:07.beginning to end until we got on set on Friday. We had to do it in
:06:07. > :06:11.three parts because the studio was so small. She had the added
:06:11. > :06:17.pressure of not being able to dance it from beginning to end. Can you
:06:17. > :06:24.imagine? Was there any other added pressure, may I ask? Did you feel,
:06:24. > :06:34.with his gorgeous young woman, a sense of arousal?
:06:34. > :06:35.
:06:35. > :06:45.Lovely! We are like brother and sister. I am a married man! Can she
:06:45. > :06:45.
:06:45. > :06:50.go all the way? Forgive me. Calm down. This is a family show. It is
:06:50. > :06:56.a public show. They get to decide, at the end of the day. What do you
:06:56. > :07:05.think? I think yes because I know how adorable she is. Alex has,
:07:05. > :07:13.whatever anybody says, improved the most. And she has a nightly TV show.
:07:13. > :07:16.All right! Round of applause for James. How but have you looked on
:07:16. > :07:23.the dance floor and do you have a photograph that you are willing to
:07:23. > :07:28.share? -- how a nice have you looked? So send in photographs of
:07:28. > :07:33.your best ballroom dancing shops. We are willing to accept action
:07:33. > :07:37.shots. We will show the best at the end of the show. If I am trying to
:07:37. > :07:42.find Alex, she can be anywhere during the holiday, but if she is
:07:42. > :07:48.trying to find me? You always have your nose buried in a car magazine.
:07:48. > :07:54.I do like automated vehicles. But compared to a gentleman from Stroud,
:07:54. > :08:04.I am nothing. He has a real problem with a particular kind of vehicle.
:08:04. > :08:09.
:08:09. > :08:12.UCC good went to meet him and his long-suffering wife. -- Lucy.
:08:12. > :08:18.Mervyn's hobby has taken him from one end of the country to the other,
:08:18. > :08:23.but I don't think his wife is quite as keen. Just a little bit further.
:08:24. > :08:30.I only wanted a cup of coffee. at that. It is beautiful! What do
:08:30. > :08:34.you think? We have seen them all. Why fire engines? It is sad, but
:08:34. > :08:37.when I was in primary school I could not be a fireman, so I
:08:37. > :08:43.decided to do the next best thing and take photographs of the fire
:08:43. > :08:51.engines around the country. Do you love fire engines? No. When was the
:08:51. > :08:56.last time you have had a holiday that did not involve a fire engine?
:08:56. > :09:02.No other. I deserve the Victoria Cross for putting up with it!
:09:02. > :09:06.Mervyn sent his photographs to auction and it was a like-minded
:09:06. > :09:09.enthusiasts that bought them. How would you explain to me the
:09:09. > :09:13.seductive quality of these machines? They look ready for
:09:13. > :09:23.action, ready to deal with any emergency that comes their way.
:09:23. > :09:24.
:09:24. > :09:30.This one was built on the 12th series. This is the main building.
:09:30. > :09:38.They are called aerial ladder appliances. It is amazing. He does
:09:38. > :09:45.know it all! I thought it would be nice to bring Mervyn Jim Martin in
:09:45. > :09:50.a marsh and the Fire Service Training Facility. -- to Molton in
:09:50. > :09:56.the marsh. This is not open to the public, but it is nice to give him
:09:56. > :10:01.a chance to do what he has always wanted to. It had to be a Dennis!
:10:01. > :10:07.It could be nothing else. We have a surprise for you. You are not just
:10:07. > :10:17.looking at it, you are driving it. Wonderful! He is heading straight
:10:17. > :10:19.
:10:19. > :10:23.for it. Are you excited? Yes. now making fire engine noises! The
:10:23. > :10:27.firemen talks him through the controls, but let's face it, he
:10:27. > :10:35.knows them all anyway. automatic gearbox is here. Push the
:10:35. > :10:41.button in and select tried. 13 tans, 250 horsepower, this baby can pump
:10:41. > :10:46.300 gallons of water every minute. -- 13 tonnes. I have been in the
:10:46. > :10:55.car with him. Keep your eye on the speedometer! I certainly will.
:10:55. > :11:05.are you feeling? Top of the world. Yes! I can't believe he is actually
:11:05. > :11:11.
:11:11. > :11:21.driving it. He has been dreaming It feels fantastic. Absolutely
:11:21. > :11:24.
:11:24. > :11:29.That was absolutely fantastic. Better than I ever thought. What
:11:29. > :11:36.was so good about it? I was in control of it. In control, like
:11:36. > :11:43.with my wife. Perhaps this will be the start of a whole new
:11:43. > :11:47.collection? Perfect. What Mervyn does not know is that
:11:47. > :11:52.we have a surprise lined up for him. It will be outside his house later
:11:52. > :11:56.tonight. It will be live on TV. This is just like Noel Edmonds!
:11:56. > :12:02.Don't miss it. Dame Edna, you are starring in your first pantomime
:12:02. > :12:07.this year. Extraordinary, isn't it? It is a long time coming, surely?
:12:07. > :12:13.have had a lovely career and this is a watershed, whatever that may
:12:13. > :12:20.mean. I am in pantomime at a place called Wimbledon. It is as close as
:12:20. > :12:25.you can get to an Australian suburb in London. A downmarket Australian
:12:25. > :12:31.suburb, of course. And I am in something called Dick Whittington.
:12:31. > :12:35.Right! It bears very little resemblance to the real story of
:12:35. > :12:41.Dick Whittington but it is fun, family fun. It is marvellous to be
:12:41. > :12:46.playing with all these gifted young actors and actresses. There are
:12:46. > :12:51.lots of rats involved. You have resisted the lure of pantomime for
:12:51. > :12:57.your whole career. How come it has finally grab you? Honestly,
:12:57. > :13:06.Christopher, and for those of you that have just tuned in, this is
:13:06. > :13:11.Chris Evans! And lovely Alex, too. The reason I resisted for so long
:13:11. > :13:20.is that I have never been asked. You must have been! People think
:13:20. > :13:24.they cannot afford me. But they can? They can! Does a woman of your
:13:24. > :13:30.experience need to rehearse for pantomime? Do you just walk
:13:30. > :13:35.straight on? I don't. I am there every day with this cast of
:13:35. > :13:41.thousands. Beautiful sets, and of course the lovely people, the young
:13:41. > :13:49.couple. Dick Whittington is played by Sam. Have you heard of him?
:13:49. > :13:57.Beautiful. And the lovely girl playing Alice is little Anna.
:13:57. > :14:03.Another presenter? Yes, of course. She is absolutely gorgeous. I adore
:14:03. > :14:08.her, too. What about your manager Barry Humphreys, is he in The
:14:08. > :14:14.Hobbit? My manager Barry Humphreys, by a miracle, is working. And he is
:14:14. > :14:24.in the film made in New Zealand of The Hobbit. It is based on a story
:14:24. > :14:34.called The Hobbit. And it is about a Hobbit. He is playing the evil
:14:34. > :14:35.
:14:35. > :14:43.Goblin King. Very good casting, if Have you talked to him on the
:14:43. > :14:48.phone? I'm not really communicating with him. He is an embezzler.
:14:48. > :14:51.Simple as that. You must have met a few in your time. Other names are
:14:51. > :14:57.available. You are far more famous than your manager because there is
:14:57. > :15:03.a statue of you in Melbourne. But you don't like it? I hate that
:15:03. > :15:11.statue! Look at it. It is an eyesore. What is wrong with that?
:15:11. > :15:16.Look at the frock! That horrible face. Very bright lipstick. Luckily,
:15:16. > :15:23.it is in a part of Melbourne when nobody does. We want to help you
:15:23. > :15:27.change that. That is why we brought in speed sculptor Frances Segelman.
:15:27. > :15:32.She is going to create a brand new head with your statue that you can
:15:32. > :15:36.take with you to Australia. I can go to Australia with my head under
:15:36. > :15:40.my arm! You can take off the old order and put on the new one.
:15:40. > :15:45.would be happy to do that. I did notice this attractive woman
:15:45. > :15:55.fiddling with something. sculpted the Queen, by the way.
:15:55. > :15:58.
:15:58. > :16:07.she? After ran and reasonably warm We have just started to see signs
:16:07. > :16:11.of winter creeping up on us. If you are hankering after some sunshine,
:16:11. > :16:16.we've got the perfect excuse to treat yourself to a trip abroad.
:16:16. > :16:22.large number of us Brits need to get some vitamin D. The best way to
:16:22. > :16:26.get it is through blue-sky thinking. Ricketts, the trial to the bone
:16:26. > :16:32.disease, has been hitting the headlines recently. -- the trialled
:16:32. > :16:35.hood bone disease. Some doctors are starting to see more cases of a
:16:35. > :16:39.disease we thought we had beaten 70 years ago. Professor Nicholas
:16:39. > :16:44.Clarke runs a weekly clinic for children with bone problems. He has
:16:45. > :16:49.seen a growing number of children with rickets. The classic story for
:16:49. > :16:54.infants is that there is usually quite significant bone deformity.
:16:54. > :16:59.Usually swollen joints. As the child gets older, the commonest
:16:59. > :17:03.physical sign is knock knees or bow legs. It results from the more
:17:03. > :17:06.severe forms of vitamin D deficiency. Although on the
:17:07. > :17:13.increase, cases like this are thankfully pretty unusual. Milder
:17:13. > :17:18.forms are still very common. Three- year-old Calo was diagnosed with
:17:18. > :17:21.vitamin D deficiency last year. took her to a health visitor and
:17:21. > :17:25.she got her to stand up with her feet together. There was a bit of a
:17:25. > :17:30.gap. She said, that might potentially be knock knees. She had
:17:30. > :17:34.to have a blood test. They said, yes, she is slightly vitamin D
:17:34. > :17:38.deficiency. I was quite worried. I thought I should have picked up on
:17:38. > :17:42.it. Vitamin D is essential for healthy bones in children and
:17:43. > :17:47.adults, because it helps us absorb calcium from our food. Recent
:17:47. > :17:50.research suggests that it plays a role in protecting against serious
:17:50. > :17:55.diseases like diabetes, heart attack and bowel cancer. It is
:17:55. > :18:00.vital that we get enough. We get some vitamin D from our diet. Over
:18:00. > :18:05.90% is produced when we are exposed to the sun. That is why it is known
:18:05. > :18:07.as the sunshine vitamin. Our bodies harness the energy of the Sun to
:18:07. > :18:12.manufacture vitamin D in our skin. That is one reason why so many
:18:12. > :18:18.people in the UK do not have enough. The dark your skin, the more time
:18:18. > :18:21.you need in the sand to make enough. It is no coincidence that cases of
:18:21. > :18:25.rickets are often in areas with large ethnic minority communities.
:18:25. > :18:29.There is another problem. During the winter months in the UK it is a
:18:29. > :18:33.real struggle to make enough vitamin D, whatever the colour of
:18:33. > :18:36.your skin. It is all to do with where you are in relation to the
:18:36. > :18:40.sun. During the spring and summer, when the sun is at its most
:18:40. > :18:45.powerful, we get enough solar energy to make vitamin D. During
:18:45. > :18:48.the winter, production slows. If you live north of Birmingham, the
:18:48. > :18:54.winter sun never get strong enough and vitamin D production grinds to
:18:54. > :18:58.a halt. In adults, symptoms of vitamin D deficiency include aching
:18:58. > :19:02.bones and muscle weakness. A blood test is the only way to confirm
:19:02. > :19:08.deficiency. A recent study found that around half the UK population
:19:08. > :19:10.have lower than ideal levels. Professor Clarke believes our
:19:10. > :19:17.modern lifestyles may explain why some children have low levels of
:19:17. > :19:21.the vitamin. There is, one may say, a tendency to model -- mollycoddle
:19:21. > :19:25.children in terms of lifestyle. They spend most of their time
:19:25. > :19:29.inside, they get taken to school in the car, they do not play sport.
:19:29. > :19:33.This does not contribute to the exposure to sunshine. It was not
:19:34. > :19:38.clear what originally caused the vitamin C deficiency, but she was
:19:38. > :19:42.put on supplements and told to spend plenty of time in the sun.
:19:42. > :19:47.is coming to spring and summer and she was getting out a lot more. On
:19:47. > :19:50.the last track but we had, she was improving. -- the last check that
:19:50. > :19:54.we had. She needs to have annual checks to make sure that it is
:19:54. > :20:00.getting better. There are things you can do to boost your levels of
:20:00. > :20:04.vitamin D. Try to eat more foods like oily fish, mushrooms and eggs.
:20:04. > :20:08.Or you could consider supplements, particularly in the winter or if
:20:08. > :20:13.you are dark-skinned, or in an at- risk group liked pregnant women
:20:13. > :20:16.with young children. And make the most of the sun. Just 10 to 15
:20:16. > :20:20.minutes' exposure on unprotected face and arms during the spring and
:20:20. > :20:26.summer may be all that is required. Be sensible, don't sunbathe. A
:20:26. > :20:33.little sun is good for us. What is better than one doctor? Two.
:20:33. > :20:37.Dr Sarah Jarvis is here. We are both fair-skinned. And we are both
:20:37. > :20:41.vitamin D deficiency. I am the same as you. My doctor said that if you
:20:41. > :20:44.just have that bit of your skin exposed to the Sun for 20 minutes,
:20:44. > :20:49.that is enough? Probably if you live in the south. We are
:20:49. > :20:53.discovering that people that live north of the Midlands are going to
:20:53. > :21:01.be vitamin deficient all year round. So, it really does... What are you
:21:01. > :21:05.going? She is being attempted! absorbing every little drop of the
:21:05. > :21:10.vitamin D. Are you hanging on my every nugget? I bet you learn
:21:11. > :21:17.something from that. Absolutely. Essential. Have you seen cases of
:21:17. > :21:20.rickets recently? When I was a medical student, we saw them in
:21:20. > :21:27.text books from the Victorian era. I am not old enough to have been
:21:28. > :21:32.around then, we are all too young. You are smart! These days, I have
:21:32. > :21:35.seen a few cases. Not often, but they are happening here in the UK.
:21:35. > :21:39.Is there anything we can do at the moment apart from taking
:21:40. > :21:44.supplements? There is not, but you don't need it every day. You can
:21:44. > :21:51.store it. If you have it during Bach I am not surprised you got
:21:51. > :21:56.things wrong! If you have that during the summer time, that is OK.
:21:56. > :21:59.But kids are sitting inside on their Xboxs. And their parents are
:21:59. > :22:03.being really careful that they don't get into the sun too much. We
:22:04. > :22:08.do not want too much, but we do want some. We are being given
:22:08. > :22:16.conflicting signals from the medical profession. Keep out of the
:22:16. > :22:25.This is not a word with which you are familiar, but it is moderation.
:22:25. > :22:35.Somewhere in between. Excess is my motto! Tell me this, my darling Dr.
:22:35. > :22:43.Goodness knows where there has lovely hands have been. I believe
:22:43. > :22:49.in vitamin L. Laughter! That is the thing that we all need lots of.
:22:49. > :22:58.Don't you agree? Yes... And does not going to the toilet, either. We
:22:58. > :23:01.stalk it. Well done for getting By Wendy Robins brought us the
:23:01. > :23:05.amazing moment when a fire man was reunited with a young girl whose
:23:05. > :23:15.life he had saved. Tonight, another story of survival against the odds
:23:15. > :23:16.
:23:17. > :23:20.41-year-old father Robert two Harry Berger owns a bar and bed-and-

:23:23. > :23:30.driving to his local bank in Seascale when a chance encounter
:23:30. > :23:34.changed his life. Take me back to the day it happened. I had driven
:23:34. > :23:39.into Seascale, perfectly normally, oblivious as to what was going on

:23:49. > :23:55.under a narrow bridge, he started to handle a gun. I turned around,
:23:55. > :24:00.as if to say, do not threaten me with that, and he shot me. It came
:24:00. > :24:04.through and hit my right hand. Then he shot me again. This time, in
:24:04. > :24:11.through the triceps, out through my bicep, removing everything. And
:24:11. > :24:15.then he casually drove off. armed man was Derrick Bird. Derrick
:24:15. > :24:19.Bird drove through the streets, committing indiscriminate murder.
:24:20. > :24:23.He was a quiet, local man, he went on a killing spree through West
:24:23. > :24:27.Cumbria, calmly shooting dead 12 people and injuring 11 before
:24:27. > :24:32.taking his own life. Did you know at that stage that you were badly
:24:32. > :24:37.hurt? When the second shot hit, I realised then that there was
:24:37. > :24:40.something majorly wrong. Because I could not feel my arm. It had gone.
:24:40. > :24:45.It was just dangling. There was nothing I could do. Did you think
:24:45. > :24:51.you were going to die? I had no reason to think otherwise. The loss
:24:51. > :24:53.of blood, I would describe it as catastrophic. I assumed I was going
:24:53. > :24:59.to die. The Great North Air Ambulance was called into action.
:24:59. > :25:03.On board, a team that included Dr Simon Leclerc, an army doctor with
:25:03. > :25:09.many years' experience dealing with battle wounds in Afghanistan and
:25:09. > :25:13.Iraq. I remember seeing bodies with sheets over them and police
:25:13. > :25:17.standing by. That is when it hit us that it is very surreal to be doing
:25:17. > :25:21.this in the British countryside. I've thought about Harry a lot
:25:21. > :25:26.since the incident. It was a very difficult day. It was a very
:25:26. > :25:30.upsetting day. I have heard he is doing well, but I've not seen him.
:25:30. > :25:34.It would be good to see how he is getting on. The shooting resulted
:25:34. > :25:38.in Harry losing two fingers and the use of his right arm. He has had
:25:38. > :25:43.five operations and he still suffers excruciating pain on a
:25:43. > :25:47.daily basis. Yet he knows that without the expertise of Simon,
:25:47. > :25:51.things could have been a lot worse. I think I was incredibly lucky to
:25:51. > :25:56.have somebody with battlefield experience, a recent battlefield
:25:56. > :26:01.experience. He saved your arm? think he saved my life. He got
:26:01. > :26:04.quite a nasty hole in his arm, that we packed and dressed. We made sure
:26:04. > :26:09.there was a tour Nikkei above it, so it didn't bleed any more than it
:26:09. > :26:13.had. We wrapped it up in pressure dressing, the things we used in the
:26:13. > :26:21.military. What would you like to say to him? Thank you is very
:26:21. > :26:25.small... I don't know. Simon is recently back from Afghanistan and
:26:25. > :26:29.on call with the air ambulance. I brought Harry over for a special
:26:29. > :26:33.reunion. It is the first time the two men will have met since that
:26:33. > :26:42.terrible day a year-and-a-half ago. This is a very surreal moment for
:26:42. > :26:47.me. It certainly is. Thank you very much. He thinks you 100% saved York
:26:47. > :26:50.-- his life. I genuinely do. Firstly, I wanted to make sure you
:26:50. > :26:55.didn't have more Signet big injuries. You can get shot by
:26:55. > :26:58.snipers and they can have wounds that are not of the its. After that,
:26:58. > :27:02.I was focusing on your arm. I thought you were going to lose it,
:27:02. > :27:09.to be honest. I am glad you have still got it. I was pretty
:27:09. > :27:13.determined to keep it. I kept telling people in accident and
:27:13. > :27:18.emergency, I am keeping my hand and my arm. I said, there is no way I
:27:18. > :27:22.am going to lose them. You've done a great job. I'm a bit of a
:27:22. > :27:32.patchwork quilt. But I would prefer to be a patchwork quilt than
:27:32. > :27:33.
:27:33. > :27:41.To cap the whole events of the last 18 months with finally meeting
:27:41. > :27:47.Simon, he is the guy, ultimately, who saved my life. He let me have
:27:47. > :27:50.another life. Two very brave men. Harry is currently attempting to
:27:50. > :27:55.raise money for the Great North Air Ambulance Service to try to repay
:27:55. > :28:04.them for their help that day. Now, Dame Edna is with us this
:28:04. > :28:11.When did you get here? Not here, but here. And what did you get up
:28:11. > :28:16.to at first? I came to England... It doesn't date me edit, possibly.
:28:16. > :28:22.I came to England from Australia because I had won an award called
:28:23. > :28:29.the lovely Madaya contest. -- a lovely mother contest. A lot of my
:28:29. > :28:36.girlfriends cent pictures to the newspaper, the morning Murdoch. I
:28:36. > :28:42.won the competition, a trip to England. I came here, very shy,
:28:43. > :28:47.self-effacing woman. A little bit like you. You remind me of myself.
:28:47. > :28:57.That means that he will end up like that, when you are older. I will
:28:57. > :28:57.
:28:57. > :29:01.take that! One of the earliest is you and your daughter. Is and Dame
:29:01. > :29:05.Margot an absolute marvel for her age? Getting up on her toes and
:29:05. > :29:10.jumping all over the stage? I must say that my own daughter, Valmay,
:29:10. > :29:14.she used to get up on her toes before she got married, she would
:29:14. > :29:24.certainly have passed. I'm not just saying that because she is my
:29:24. > :29:26.
:29:26. > :29:30.How embarrassing! Do you remember that? I didn't remember it at all.
:29:30. > :29:36.The colour of my hair has changed. You are much more glamorous. Rather
:29:36. > :29:40.like yours... I know, I am testing out for the poodle parlour. You can
:29:40. > :29:43.see what a nervous person I was back then. And I have all the
:29:43. > :29:48.confidence in the world now. have never been nervous about
:29:48. > :29:53.anything, have you? If I relax, because I enjoy bringing so much
:29:53. > :30:03.happiness to people. But you were not even nervous when you were on
:30:03. > :30:21.
:30:22. > :30:29.You have done it all! And you look remarkably like Marge Simpson in
:30:29. > :30:37.that clip. Well, she looks like Dame Edna. I think they basted a
:30:37. > :30:42.little bit on me. It did not hurt my feelings. -- they based it on
:30:42. > :30:49.May. We have another guest coming up in a moment. He does lovely
:30:49. > :30:58.coming to your home. This boy invited me home to meet his lovely
:30:58. > :31:03.wife. Not his first wife, but still. Not my second wife, either! But a
:31:03. > :31:07.successful union, at producing an adorable son, but I met this
:31:07. > :31:15.evening. And there is a throne when you walk into his house. That is
:31:15. > :31:21.true. How the heck do you know that? You can take little pictures
:31:21. > :31:27.of your son. There is a throne. It was there when we arrived. We did
:31:27. > :31:33.not buy it. It is not mine. Then there is this woman's home. I could
:31:33. > :31:39.not believe it. It is full of false eyelashes. It is! How did you get
:31:39. > :31:44.in? I have got one under my tongue. Horrible. I thought it was a spooky
:31:44. > :31:48.spider. Very few people have had a TV career for as long as Dame Edna,
:31:48. > :31:54.how could they? But we have seen the return of one of the rarest of
:31:54. > :32:01.breeds. Tim Gudgin has been the voice of the BBC's sports results
:32:01. > :32:04.and he kindly let us follow him at work on his very final Final Score.
:32:04. > :32:12.My name is Tim Gudgin. You might not know my name and you certainly
:32:12. > :32:20.do not know my face. But perhaps you recognise my voice. Swindon
:32:20. > :32:24.Town 1. The South Wales Police 13. My broadcasting career began during
:32:24. > :32:34.my National Service, when I worked for the British forces Network
:32:34. > :32:41.Radio in Germany. Two years later I joined the BBC European services.
:32:41. > :32:45.In 1965 I joined Grandstand. Now the racing results. Those sign
:32:45. > :32:51.writers were absolutely brilliant. It used to be marvellous weather
:32:51. > :32:57.blokes used to climb up on really tall ladders. -- when the blokes.
:32:57. > :33:00.They would write the captions, the latest scores, somebody would jog
:33:00. > :33:04.the board and something would fall out and they had to get down and
:33:04. > :33:11.put it back on. Tim Gudgin is the voice of the results. And briefly
:33:11. > :33:14.the face of the results today! 1995, I became only the second
:33:14. > :33:21.person to read out the football results after my dear friend Len
:33:21. > :33:30.Martin passed away. Time for the classified results, from Tim Gudgin.
:33:30. > :33:35.Black Birnerova 7. Not in Forest nil. -- Blackburn seven. Nottingham
:33:35. > :33:42.Forest 0. I have made some fluffs reading through them. Match
:33:42. > :33:47.postponed because they are playing tomorrow. Sorry, no-score draw.
:33:47. > :33:53.That is a fine start! Up to 60 years working in the business, it
:33:53. > :33:58.is almost time for the final whistle. It is a special and sad
:33:58. > :34:05.set of classified. For the final time they will be read by Tim
:34:05. > :34:15.Gudgin. For one more time, BBC One is all yours. Thank you. Everton
:34:15. > :34:20.
:34:20. > :34:23.two. Wolverhampton 1. Swindon Town 1. Yeovil Town 2. Exeter city 2. --
:34:23. > :34:27.Exeter City. That is a brilliant story. Tim
:34:27. > :34:31.Gudgin was going to be on the programme. We wanted to talk to him
:34:31. > :34:36.and get him to meet Dame Edna, but he could not come because his
:34:36. > :34:43.family had organised a secret, not any more, birthday party for his
:34:43. > :34:48.82nd birthday. Happy birthday. A happy birthday, possum. We are
:34:48. > :34:56.about to welcome another very special to be staff. Do you mind
:34:56. > :35:01.sharing the limelight? I don't in the least mind. I hope it is a
:35:01. > :35:06.beautiful woman. In it is. Penelope Keith. She has a brand new show,
:35:06. > :35:13.with a cheeky title, To The Manor Reborn. Let's see the sitcom that
:35:13. > :35:19.inspired it. This is Mr de Beer. How do you do? It was a great shock
:35:19. > :35:25.but life must go on. It is Mr de Beer of Cavendish foods.
:35:25. > :35:34.caterers? In that case you must give everybody else a drink.
:35:34. > :35:39.Penelope Keith! In that little clip, that is the first time we see
:35:39. > :35:44.Audrey and Richard. What made them such a success? Oh, very good
:35:44. > :35:48.writing, very good actors. I remember Scandinavian journalist
:35:48. > :35:53.saying the same thing to me. Why was it such a success, the series?
:35:53. > :35:59.I said I didn't know and I asked him. He said it was a love story
:35:59. > :36:03.and everybody loves a love story. Don't they, Dame Edna? I have a bit
:36:03. > :36:08.of a love affair from a distance with you. You have been described
:36:08. > :36:18.on this wonderful, seminal and pivotal television programme as a
:36:18. > :36:21.
:36:21. > :36:25.TV star. I know Penelope Keith also as a distinguished stage start. --
:36:25. > :36:33.stage start. You have been at the Theatre Royal in Haymarket just
:36:33. > :36:41.like me recently. Those wonderful boards. You carry on. We will
:36:41. > :36:45.leave! I love this show. I have some influence at the BBC. When
:36:45. > :36:54.they submitted To The Manor Reborn to me, in which people who can
:36:54. > :37:00.afford to buy a manor house, old people... And people that are rich
:37:00. > :37:05.like you. Yes. You show them how to revamp them and make them lovely
:37:05. > :37:10.again. Yes, it is wonderful. They can touch the furniture and lie on
:37:10. > :37:20.the beds. To The Manor Reborn is on Thursdays and Sundays depending
:37:20. > :37:20.
:37:20. > :37:25.where you are in the UK. Let's have a look. I see a worried face.
:37:25. > :37:30.is because of the marble. Can you think of another room where there
:37:30. > :37:36.is that kind of marble in a bedroom? I am not keen on the
:37:36. > :37:43.marble panelling. I love the blue ceiling. Clouds, in that caving
:37:43. > :37:53.area, I think it will look stunning. That is so Queen Anne. It is to
:37:53. > :37:54.
:37:54. > :38:01.sherry for the National Trust. -- too flashy. It is sort of like a
:38:01. > :38:08.posh DIY SOS. Is it?! Do you think people really want their houses
:38:08. > :38:12.turned into Tudor and Georgian houses? No. It is the National
:38:12. > :38:16.Trust has been restored. Well, being reinvented. Mostly when you
:38:16. > :38:21.see National Trust houses, they were lived in by one family, and
:38:21. > :38:31.this one was lived in by lots of different families. You have four
:38:31. > :38:32.
:38:32. > :38:36.death at periods of history, which is interesting. You have to do, --
:38:36. > :38:44.four different periods of history, which is interesting. Tudor,
:38:44. > :38:51.Georgian. And somebody invested a lot of money and had a good time at
:38:51. > :38:56.restoring the stones. It is older than Stonehenge. It is unbelievable.
:38:56. > :39:03.What an exciting process that you are sharing. I am sharing it not
:39:03. > :39:09.just with them but with you. I did so many wonderful things. I saw
:39:09. > :39:16.Lennon being woven, carpets being made, silk being died. I went to
:39:16. > :39:22.Holland to see the marble. I got into the Royal Bath in my Georgian
:39:22. > :39:27.nightie with Dan Cruikshank. Top that! I couldn't possibly!
:39:27. > :39:31.would you try? Please stay for the rest of the show. I told the BBC to
:39:31. > :39:36.do this because I knew it was a good idea. I gave it the green
:39:36. > :39:44.light, Penelope Keith. This, by the way, is the distinguished Penelope
:39:44. > :39:54.Keith. And I am on a lovely little show called The One Show. And my
:39:54. > :39:56.
:39:56. > :39:59.guess is Chris. -- my best. countdown to Christmas is
:39:59. > :40:08.officially on! If you are in charge of buying the food for Christmas,
:40:08. > :40:12.don't panic. Jay Rayner has one thing that has to be on your list.
:40:12. > :40:17.Stilton is one of our oldest blue cheeses, a staple on many a festive
:40:17. > :40:22.cheeseboard. We produce 1 million Stiltons every year and one third
:40:22. > :40:26.are sold over Christmas. But where does our appetite for this mouldy
:40:26. > :40:33.cheese come from? I have come in search of the origins of this
:40:33. > :40:38.world-beating English beauties. Where better to start my journey
:40:38. > :40:44.than in Stilton? Excuse me, do you have any Stilton made in the town
:40:44. > :40:51.of Stilton? No, because we are not allowed to make Stilton cheese in
:40:51. > :40:54.Stilton. What? Why not? It is in the wrong county. The European
:40:54. > :40:57.Union gave it protected status, meaning it can only be made in
:40:57. > :41:01.Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Leicestershire, but not in
:41:01. > :41:07.Cambridgeshire. In fact there is no proof that Stilton was ever made
:41:07. > :41:14.here. It first got its name after being sold in the 18th century at
:41:14. > :41:19.this in. The world's entire supply of Stilton come from just five
:41:19. > :41:23.dairies which are allowed to make it. I have come to the world's
:41:23. > :41:26.biggest Stilton dairy in Leicestershire. It is a far cry
:41:26. > :41:31.from its farmyard beginnings when the mould that Stilton is famous
:41:31. > :41:38.for developed naturally as the cheese was the Turin. Now it is a
:41:38. > :41:48.taste that we have grown to love. - - was much during. How do we get
:41:48. > :41:48.
:41:49. > :41:55.the mould? It was manufactured in the blood -- laboratory. What does
:41:55. > :42:02.it look like? It arrives in powder form at and then we add water.
:42:02. > :42:08.did almost the colour of Stilton mould. -- it is almost. Do you want
:42:08. > :42:14.to try some? No! I prefer it in the Stilton. Just adding the mould is
:42:14. > :42:19.not enough. You need the blue veins. It also has to be skewered. Do you
:42:19. > :42:25.just put a hole in it? Yes. You just put it all the way in and then
:42:25. > :42:31.pull it out. What are we doing? allow the oxygen in, which start
:42:31. > :42:34.the mould development. Around one- third of the 400,000 Stiltons will
:42:34. > :42:39.be found on our cheese boards this Christmas, but what is the best way
:42:39. > :42:46.of eating it? In days of all, it was laced with port to prevent it
:42:46. > :42:51.drying out. What effect does that have on the all-important taste?
:42:51. > :42:57.You have done one here. Can I try some? Please do. It looks rather
:42:57. > :43:04.extraordinary, I have to say. It is interesting. You get the fruitiness.
:43:04. > :43:08.Then the cheese underneath. I am not entirely convinced. Still, who
:43:08. > :43:14.cares what I think? Let's ask the good people of Melton Mowbray.
:43:14. > :43:21.Please try the Stilton by itself. Lovely. Now try some that has been
:43:21. > :43:26.fed with port for a weekend. You really don't like it, do you?
:43:26. > :43:30.prefer the Stilton and the port separately. You can hardly describe
:43:30. > :43:39.opinion as divided. Every single person thought it was best eaten as
:43:39. > :43:43.his. And I agree with them. -- as it is. As it happens, it was also
:43:43. > :43:48.the World Cheese Awards. It is like we planned it! It could not happen
:43:48. > :43:52.at a better time. We do the Stilton film and then the World Cheese
:43:52. > :43:57.Awards. And the winners. This is the world's best cheese, from South
:43:57. > :44:01.West France. It is a sheep's milk cheese. I would like to apologise
:44:01. > :44:10.for the cheese hedgehog. I am a class C man that somebody is not.
:44:11. > :44:14.nothing wrong with pineapple and cheese on sticks. There is
:44:14. > :44:20.everything wrong with that! little bit of salami and gherkin
:44:21. > :44:29.would be nice. The cheese is creamy. I think it is fantastic. I have
:44:29. > :44:32.ruined it for you. Sorry, Penelope. Next to we have the best Australian
:44:32. > :44:40.cheese, Moss Vale blue, made by Berry's Creek into one, 100
:44:40. > :44:45.kilometres from Melbourne. -- Poowong. From where? Poowong. There
:44:45. > :44:49.is nothing funny about that. think we can smell it in Melbourne.
:44:49. > :44:55.I understand that your friends Sir Les Patterson was share of the
:44:55. > :45:03.Australian Cheese Board. He is no friend of mine. But he is a
:45:03. > :45:10.Cheeseman and he pioneered the Tasmanian cheese with purple veins.
:45:10. > :45:17.But he come from Poowong. Lot of people come from there. What should
:45:17. > :45:20.we do? Do not store it too cold, in the warmest part of your fridge. Do
:45:20. > :45:29.not rabbit in clingfilm, but greaseproof paper so that it can
:45:29. > :45:33.breathe. What about tinfoil? Look at the clothing you are wearing!
:45:34. > :45:38.Greaseproof paper. Do not serve it too cold. It has to be nice and
:45:38. > :45:46.warm so that the softies can run away. They have to come out to meet
:45:46. > :45:51.What about when the cheese goes mouldy that is not supposed to be?
:45:51. > :45:56.Can you just cut it off? People in health and safety will scream at me,
:45:56. > :46:01.I think you can on hard trees. it to the birds! If it is wrong, I
:46:02. > :46:06.will be told about it on social media later! After the success of
:46:06. > :46:10.our viewer trifle challenge, we have another one. We have the mince
:46:10. > :46:14.pie challenge. We are on the hunt to find the favourite mince pies.
:46:14. > :46:20.We want you to reveal your baking secrets, your mystery ingredients
:46:20. > :46:23.and your recipes. If you want to enter, you need to send a picture
:46:24. > :46:31.of your Ben Spies, a description of what makes them so original and
:46:32. > :46:36.your personal recipe. -- mince pies. We are going to put the recipes
:46:36. > :46:40.into a book, sell the book and keep the money for ourselves. No, we
:46:40. > :46:44.will set the challenge and the winner will go head-to-head with a
:46:44. > :46:47.chef from a top restaurant. That is what we are going to do? When you
:46:47. > :46:54.take a picture of it, you should have a cross section. You should
:46:54. > :46:59.see what it looks like. Absolutely. Open it. And smell it. OK, if you
:46:59. > :47:09.could send us a cross section, that would be amazing. Bisect one

:47:30. > :47:37.to find the inside track on a must she loved personality? Children, of
:47:37. > :47:43.course! We asked the son of Dick Francis to lift the lid on growing
:47:43. > :47:47.up with his very famous dad. Dick Francis, great jockey, best-
:47:47. > :47:52.selling writer and a champion dad. What a treble. Best known, perhaps,
:47:52. > :47:56.for his thrillers, set in the racing world. But he was already
:47:56. > :48:01.known in the 1950s as a steeplechase jumper, riding over
:48:01. > :48:06.2000 races and winning 300 of them. But there was one race that he was
:48:06. > :48:12.desperate to win. And it would all end in disaster. He avoids the
:48:12. > :48:17.collision and takes the lead. ESB, they are close together. It was the
:48:17. > :48:27.1956 Grand National. He was riding the Queen Mother's horse. Devon
:48:27. > :48:31.Loch can't lose... Heaslip! -- he slipped. Devon Loch is on his feet
:48:31. > :48:35.again, but it is too late. The most tragic defeat in Grand National
:48:35. > :48:40.history. He was worried how much he might have upset the Queen Mother.
:48:40. > :48:46.He wrote a letter the day after. It is one of his most treasured
:48:46. > :48:51.possessions. He has never shown it to anybody. But now he is gone, and
:48:51. > :48:54.so we she, I think that I can. She says, I believe that all over the
:48:54. > :48:59.country people were weeping over their radios. Although this does
:48:59. > :49:05.not cure the pain in one's heart, it does help to know how sincere
:49:05. > :49:08.and kind is the feeling of sympathy for owner, trainer, jockey and
:49:08. > :49:12.gallant horse. His worst fear is that he would be remembered as the
:49:12. > :49:16.man who did not win the Grand National. He didn't need to worry
:49:16. > :49:22.about that because of his success in writing, first as a racing
:49:22. > :49:27.correspondent with the Sunday Express and then with thrillers. I
:49:27. > :49:32.just had my mother's home movies put on to DVD. It is the first time
:49:32. > :49:38.I have seen them in 40 years. So exciting. Here is my dad, mowing
:49:38. > :49:42.the lawn. He hated having his photo taken. My mum used to do it all the
:49:42. > :49:52.time. They were absolutely devoted to each other. He was a great
:49:52. > :49:53.
:49:53. > :50:03.showman. Here I am, jumping. It must look like an idyllic childhood.
:50:03. > :50:07.
:50:07. > :50:11.He wrote quite a lot here, in Paignton in Devon. This seaside
:50:11. > :50:16.hotel is where the family had been coming on holiday all of my life.
:50:16. > :50:20.50 nine-times for me, so far. This is the hotel beach, where we had
:50:20. > :50:24.such fun. We used to play cricket and my dad used to whack the ball
:50:24. > :50:28.into the sea. He would be running backwards and forwards and we would
:50:29. > :50:37.have to go and swim to collect it. He was so competitive. Marvellous
:50:37. > :50:42.times. In her later years, during my mother's ill health, they moved
:50:42. > :50:47.to the Caribbean. The warm waters. But this was the beach where we had
:50:47. > :50:55.all of the fund. This is where we had all our memories. Who needs the
:50:55. > :51:01.Caribbean when you've got Paignton He always found writing difficult.
:51:01. > :51:05.He was absolutely amazed by the successful stop but 43 books over
:51:05. > :51:12.half a century, all of them about racing, translated into 35
:51:12. > :51:17.languages. Look at this. The headline. Dad was a careful writer
:51:17. > :51:21.and a stickler for Branagh. Two days before he died, his Carys said
:51:21. > :51:25.to him, come on, Dick, please eat some more or you will get sicker
:51:25. > :51:31.and sicker. He looked at her and said, I think you mean more sick
:51:31. > :51:37.and more sick! I am now writing the books under my own name. The only
:51:37. > :51:41.fiction I used to write was school reports, because I used to be an A-
:51:41. > :51:46.level physics teacher. But we still call them Dick Francis books. I was
:51:46. > :51:56.forever stealing the typewriter. Perhaps it was for things to come!
:51:56. > :51:58.
:51:58. > :52:06.Any other kids of famous mums and dads, if they want to make a film,
:52:06. > :52:12.that is fine. Send your e-mails to the same as the mince pie people.
:52:12. > :52:18.We have asked for York versions of Strictly pictures. We've had
:52:18. > :52:24.thousands of them. How about this, from Germany. This was her, 46
:52:24. > :52:28.years ago with Billy and Bobby Irvine, who were then the ballroom
:52:28. > :52:32.champions of the world. This has been sent in by Roy Harris. It is
:52:32. > :52:38.the dress rehearsal for my wife and I, representing eastern England
:52:38. > :52:44.against Northern Ireland in 1964. Isn't that a great picture? So nice.
:52:44. > :52:49.Dame Edna? This is from Julie Davies of West Sussex. She says,
:52:49. > :52:57.this is a photograph of myself, Lisa and Debbie, all set to do the
:52:58. > :53:02.Charleston. That is the dance tomorrow. What do you have? Sent in
:53:02. > :53:09.by Keith and Sam Whatley. They are from Devon. My wife and I, dancing
:53:09. > :53:13.in the Maldives on our honeymoon. Very romantic. Very Mamma Mia.
:53:13. > :53:17.Earlier, we met a man called Mirfin, whose obsession with fire engines
:53:17. > :53:22.has seen him and his wife travelled the country, spotting them, for the
:53:22. > :53:29.past 40 years. Lucy Siegle is with him outside his house. It is time
:53:29. > :53:36.to let him in on his big surprise. It's very exciting. I am at the end
:53:36. > :53:42.of May in's Road, with a slightly confused Mervin. You are excited?
:53:43. > :53:48.He can hear the siren. What do you get the fire engine spotter that
:53:48. > :53:54.has spotted them all? You get him one he has never seen before. That
:53:54. > :54:01.is courtesy of Nottinghamshire Fire Service. What do you think of this?
:54:01. > :54:11.It is a unit! A Specialist Rescue Unit. Are you delighted? Absolutely
:54:11. > :54:13.
:54:13. > :54:18.overwhelmed. Also courtesy of the fire service, we have Colin Poyzer.
:54:18. > :54:24.Stand over here, get close to it. You can touch it, if you like. What
:54:24. > :54:29.is this used for? It is a specially built emergency rescue unit.

:54:34. > :54:40.is not used for fire fighting, just technical rescue. Large animal
:54:40. > :54:44.rescue, multiple accidents, or water rescue. There is a clue there,
:54:44. > :54:50.water rescue. It is a beautiful machine, but there is something
:54:50. > :54:59.inside? A fully inflated boat. Would you like to launch it?
:54:59. > :55:03.would love to! How much? I would love to! Showed him how to do it.
:55:03. > :55:13.am going to press this button. Keep your finger on it and watch what
:55:13. > :55:14.
:55:14. > :55:24.comes out. Go! Very exciting moment. It is a bit like Thunderbirds. Give
:55:24. > :55:28.us some statistics as it comes out. It is a 383 inflatable boat. On the
:55:28. > :55:35.other side, we have an outboard motor. Fantastic! The best I have
:55:35. > :55:40.ever seen one launched. A fantastic. It would not be complete, this
:55:40. > :55:45.experience, without that wonderful woman that has been by your side.
:55:45. > :55:55.June, the long-suffering June. It is not all about Mervyn tonight.
:55:55. > :55:58.
:55:58. > :56:08.We've got something for you. Fire We have got fire engines, flowers,
:56:08. > :56:11.
:56:11. > :56:16.Do you know how much bother that film has just caused? What do you
:56:16. > :56:19.mean? So many little lads that want a fire engine for Christmas, they
:56:19. > :56:26.will have known which one they wanted, and now they will want one
:56:26. > :56:30.with a boat coming up the back. I am talking specifically! Throughout
:56:30. > :56:34.the show, Speed sculptor Frances has been working on a replacement
:56:34. > :56:41.for the head of Dame Edna's statue in Melbourne. Because she doesn't
:56:41. > :56:46.like it, we much point that out. don't like it. This is Dame Edna
:56:46. > :56:52.speaking to you now. You are a serious sculptor, though? I am
:56:52. > :56:58.serious. You do this for fun, but you have done the Queen? Absolutely.
:56:58. > :57:08.How did she compare, to the Queen, as a model? I haven't been near
:57:08. > :57:09.
:57:09. > :57:19.royalty until now. She sounded very Was that sincere or not, as an

:57:26. > :57:33.actress? Terribly sincere. You can That took two hours. That is
:57:33. > :57:38.beautiful. My skin is not quite so Tallard. But it is very, very...
