:00:26. > :00:34.# I'm in the corner watching you kissing
:00:35. > :00:43.# And I'm right over here # Why don't you see me?
:00:44. > :00:48.# And I'm giving it my all # But I'm not the guy you're taking
:00:49. > :00:58.home # And I keep dancing on my own... #.
:00:59. > :01:01.APPLAUSE What a voice!
:01:02. > :01:03.Hello and welcome to The One Show, with Gyles Brandreth.
:01:04. > :01:06.That was Calum Scott, with the song that made him
:01:07. > :01:08.an overnight star: Dancing On My Own.
:01:09. > :01:12.He'll be performing his brand new track for us later, pop pickers.
:01:13. > :01:18.Also tonight, we'll be meeting this time travelling family
:01:19. > :01:21.who've been Back in Time for Brixton.
:01:22. > :01:23.And tonight's guest is no stranger to a sing-song.
:01:24. > :01:26.As well as helping to discover tonight's musical guest,
:01:27. > :01:37.he's also found a new musical way to celebrate his love of football.
:01:38. > :01:46.The primadonnas return with their new album - Chance From The
:01:47. > :02:01.Terraces. # Boring, boring Arsenal... #.
:02:02. > :02:03.And a tribute to a leading goal-scorer.
:02:04. > :02:18.Hello, David. That was a bit too realistic. People will be devastated
:02:19. > :02:30.you are not releasing a CD for Christmas. I look good in that
:02:31. > :02:40.getup. The three tenors, we have had it with them. We could have you and
:02:41. > :02:56.two others. Who would they be? The two of you. I can't see it, but we
:02:57. > :03:04.will chat later! The people of Luton are not looking as chipper as the
:03:05. > :03:10.people of Hull. The people of Luton -- the town of Luton has been put at
:03:11. > :03:15.the bottom of the UK's cultural index. We have gone to find out what
:03:16. > :03:18.is happening. I have come to let the people who
:03:19. > :03:24.live here have their say. What do you think Luton is famous for?
:03:25. > :03:30.Unfortunately, it had a negative reputation. But I think we still
:03:31. > :03:39.have a great heritage, with the history of hat making. We have an
:03:40. > :03:45.arts centre, various museums. It is multicultural, different cultures
:03:46. > :03:47.live here. This may not be a traditional heritage railway
:03:48. > :03:53.station, but it has loads to offer. It has links to Brighton, Bedford,
:03:54. > :04:03.to Luton airport. And it boasts two cafes. It is not just great sites I
:04:04. > :04:09.will check in on, I will put up some plucks to the people from Luton who
:04:10. > :04:12.had made a contribution to the town. You may have noticed it is orange,
:04:13. > :04:32.and that is in tribute to this lot. Looking good right there. How about
:04:33. > :04:35.the winner of the art world's most prestigious award. Elizabeth Price,
:04:36. > :04:40.Wilairot be 2012 Turner Prize. She grew up in Luton and went to the
:04:41. > :04:45.local high school. That is something to be proud of. What a masterpiece.
:04:46. > :04:51.The next person from Luton is a local lad. I am assured wherever
:04:52. > :04:56.leaves his hat... # That's my home... Paul Young
:04:57. > :05:04.topped the charts with number one singles and albums. Sport can be
:05:05. > :05:09.cultural too. Springing up next, having made 50 Test match
:05:10. > :05:16.appearances for England, it is Monty Panesar. These charts and league
:05:17. > :05:20.tables tell what others think of Luton, but what do the town's people
:05:21. > :05:30.think about coming bottom. Are you proud to come from Luton? It has
:05:31. > :05:37.gone downhill. There is nobody happy, nobody smiling. Both of you
:05:38. > :05:41.are. You could be ambassadors. I have lived here all my life. We have
:05:42. > :05:55.a good football team, we have one might be cup. What more do you
:05:56. > :06:01.want?, give us a try. Do you think Luton deserves its reputation? What
:06:02. > :06:05.can you do as a council to change people's perceptions? We have an
:06:06. > :06:09.exciting project going on in our cultural quarter which takes the hat
:06:10. > :06:12.factories and turns them into venues where you can see the history of the
:06:13. > :06:18.town. So next year you will be off the bottom of the table? I am
:06:19. > :06:23.hopeful yes. It is clear that heritage is not just about the past.
:06:24. > :06:31.It is also about a community with an identity they can be proud of. It is
:06:32. > :06:35.a love of the common people. And everybody knows that one of the
:06:36. > :06:39.best things to come out of Luton is Nadiya. We have got a film from
:06:40. > :06:44.Arabic later on. We love Luton and David. I have just seen the first of
:06:45. > :06:54.your new series, Walliams and Friend. Have you run out of friends?
:06:55. > :07:00.Just one friend. One friend each week and tonight it is Jack
:07:01. > :07:10.Whitehall. Tonight at 9:30pm it is Jack Whitehall. We have Hugh
:07:11. > :07:15.Bonneville, Meera Syal. Proper actors. We know Jack Whitehall as a
:07:16. > :07:19.comedian, but he turns out to be a wonderful character actor too. Yes,
:07:20. > :07:23.and we had so much fun working together. He did say at one point, I
:07:24. > :07:31.used to love Little Britain when I was at school. How old am I? And how
:07:32. > :07:35.young are you? And then I got to work with one of my heroes, Harry
:07:36. > :07:39.Enfield, who was a huge influence. We were only with each person per
:07:40. > :07:43.week, so just at the point where you might be getting sick of them, they
:07:44. > :07:55.are gone and someone else comes in. Perfect. I love Jack in your posh
:07:56. > :08:00.Kyle. Let's have a look. So, Gideon, tell us your heartbreaking story.
:08:01. > :08:05.And if you could cry, we would love it. Every year since I was a
:08:06. > :08:10.toddler, mummy and daddy had taken me on holiday to Val Bizet. Only
:08:11. > :08:18.this year, they have said they want to go on their own. And how old are
:08:19. > :08:24.you, little fella? 28th. APPLAUSE
:08:25. > :08:29.What I love, watching that completely brilliant sketch, was
:08:30. > :08:33.that next on came his parents, and I realised immediately that the
:08:34. > :08:41.actress playing Jack's mum is actually his mum. Hillary, yes. Did
:08:42. > :08:44.he have any idea? Yes, his mum has done a lot of work over the years
:08:45. > :08:51.and he suggested she might be in the show. It was a part that only she
:08:52. > :08:55.was really qualified to play. She is very glamorous. And very good. Years
:08:56. > :09:02.brilliant. He had me laughing the whole time. Which is difficult. Yes,
:09:03. > :09:07.because when you are a comedian, you are grumpy and you are often
:09:08. > :09:11.resentful about the people being funny, willing them not to be funny.
:09:12. > :09:15.We had so much fun. This is your time of year, because I studied a
:09:16. > :09:20.best seller list of books, hoping I might appear, though I don't seem to
:09:21. > :09:25.be in it at the moment, because David Walliams is in it week after
:09:26. > :09:30.week, three weeks running for your latest children's book. What's it
:09:31. > :09:34.called? The midnight gang, which is about a group of kids who are
:09:35. > :09:37.yearning for adventure, so they help each other act out these dreams they
:09:38. > :09:44.have. One kid wants to go to the North Pole, and they recreate it all
:09:45. > :09:51.in the hospital. You don't get many children's box set in a hospital. I
:09:52. > :10:00.couldn't think of one. People call you the new Roald Dahl but you seem
:10:01. > :10:06.much jollier than he was. He was a little alarming. Do you need to get
:10:07. > :10:13.into a darker side of yourself to write the stories? No, I probably
:10:14. > :10:16.need to get into a lighter side! Unita look back to when you were a
:10:17. > :10:21.kid, what would have made you laugh, what would have scared you. I think,
:10:22. > :10:29.if I were ten or 12, would I enjoy this? I love doing it. You're only
:10:30. > :10:34.limits are your imagination. There is blank paper and it is up to you
:10:35. > :10:39.to fill it. What are you doing this we? Our weekends are looking
:10:40. > :10:44.tedious. You, however, have a glamorous weekend coming up. Who
:10:45. > :10:50.will you be hanging out with? Just then Shirley Bassey. We have been
:10:51. > :10:56.rehearsing because we're doing a Christmas special together. -- Dame
:10:57. > :11:00.Shirley Bassey. I have been working with her for the last couple of
:11:01. > :11:05.weeks and it will be a big Christmas special, celebrating her career.
:11:06. > :11:10.Unbelievably, she will be 80 in January. I thought it was brilliant
:11:11. > :11:16.when you were last with her. We were on the Graham Norton Show together.
:11:17. > :11:25.The time before that. # Goldfinger... All of the songs,
:11:26. > :11:32.darling. Thunderball, you didn't do that. You do these things and you
:11:33. > :11:39.never think you will meet the people one day, and then you hope they
:11:40. > :11:43.haven't seen it. That was brilliant. That was David and his long-time
:11:44. > :11:49.collaborator, Matt Lucas, who took their first steps onto the comedy
:11:50. > :11:55.circuit in the early 90s. Meera Syal, Sanjeev Bhaskar and the
:11:56. > :12:04.presenter of our necks, Richard Blackwood, all owe their success to
:12:05. > :12:08.one particular show, The Real McCoy. In May 1991, a new comedy show was
:12:09. > :12:12.broadcast that would change the face of comedy on British television and
:12:13. > :12:16.launch the careers of a new generation of actors and comedians,
:12:17. > :12:21.including me. Kids nowadays are getting away with things that we
:12:22. > :12:28.could never have. The yellow blazer. Yellow... The Real McCoy was a mix
:12:29. > :12:33.of sketches and stand up, and it was the first show of its kind to
:12:34. > :12:44.feature an all black and Asian cast. What exactly do you mean by April
:12:45. > :12:52.fool? It was an instant hit and turned actors like Meera Syal and
:12:53. > :12:59.Felix Testa into household names. -- Felix Dexter. 20 years since the
:13:00. > :13:04.last show was broadcast, how much impact did it have? Driving this
:13:05. > :13:16.series was a team of talented actors and writers, including cast members
:13:17. > :13:25.Curtis Walker and Terry Jervis,... That was your catchphrase. That
:13:26. > :13:33.really turned the tide. We thought, hold on a minute, there is a group
:13:34. > :13:37.of young, British black people. By bringing together a group of young
:13:38. > :13:40.comedians on the circuit, The Real McCoy was born, and it quickly
:13:41. > :13:47.became apparent that the show had a universal appeal. I had white people
:13:48. > :13:54.telling me it was a funny show. We broke the barriers that Asian comedy
:13:55. > :14:00.as well, because Goodness Gracious Me and others would never have come.
:14:01. > :14:03.In our society still coming to terms with multiculturalism, the tumour
:14:04. > :14:09.was sometimes close to the bone, with one scene causing particular
:14:10. > :14:18.controversy. When she turned around and the baby was black... And they
:14:19. > :14:29.say, that's a good name for it will stop that was our reality - the
:14:30. > :14:34.National front, the BNP, Teddy boys. What do you want? We want to join
:14:35. > :14:50.the BNP. Five seasons and then that was it. Yellow --, in Britain, the
:14:51. > :14:52.black British experience and black British culture hasn't had that
:14:53. > :14:59.journey that other cultures have had. It is so important. When I look
:15:00. > :15:04.back about my experience on The Real McCoy all those years back, to give
:15:05. > :15:09.people of colour, black and Asian, the underrated, a vehicle to be seen
:15:10. > :15:12.and to come through was so influential and important, and very
:15:13. > :15:18.much needed. With this in mind, the one show has arranged for students
:15:19. > :15:22.from the National youth Theatre to re-enact a sketch that shows The
:15:23. > :15:23.Real McCoy at its best, satirising and celebrating the diversity of
:15:24. > :15:44.British culture. Him's round the corner. Tell him to
:15:45. > :15:51.come in. Stop messing us about. You said nothing about eating in. I said
:15:52. > :15:58.that to the sister. She is not your sister, you are talking to a bigger
:15:59. > :16:02.man. I don't think there is enough of comedy sketches that represent
:16:03. > :16:07.ethnic community like The Real McCoy. I loved performing that. So
:16:08. > :16:12.after 20 year since the last episode of The Real McCoy was aired on
:16:13. > :16:14.British TV. The question is have we progressed, and my answer
:16:15. > :16:21.unfortunately is no. We are black, British, we were born here, it is
:16:22. > :16:24.time now we are viewed as British, black humour is humour, black
:16:25. > :16:27.entertainers are entertainers, until we see that we have a long way to
:16:28. > :16:31.go. Thank you Richard. It is time for to
:16:32. > :16:38.us go back in time ourselves because we are joined by the Irwin family.
:16:39. > :16:44.APPLAUSE Look, we have a whole new set. Look,
:16:45. > :16:50.there is crochet to o go behind you. Doesn't that look good? These guys
:16:51. > :16:54.are the stars of a wonderful series, going Back in Time For Brixton, the
:16:55. > :16:58.idea is they literally go back in time to the 50, and they live it,
:16:59. > :17:03.they eat it, they dress as it, they sleep it, they work it, and then
:17:04. > :17:08.gradually, they move through time. We follow you and it is completely
:17:09. > :17:14.charm, it is dark at times, from literally the late 40s. It starteds
:17:15. > :17:19.like that, it is the beginning it is 1948 and one of the first Caribbean
:17:20. > :17:23.immigrants landed on British shore, how did gloum and dad find that and
:17:24. > :17:27.what was the most shocking thing, you had read about it, you are the
:17:28. > :17:32.first generation to settle here, but what did you find most surprising
:17:33. > :17:38.maybe about that time I think for me, and for the entire family, was
:17:39. > :17:43.learning that upon invitation we would then set down into a hole,
:17:44. > :17:48.bunker, to live in, that was shocking. And horrendous, so, for
:17:49. > :17:56.me, out of the entire experience, that was like a wow. Your dad was a
:17:57. > :18:00.bus conductor, wasn't he, in the '50s, I remember the '50s, lots of
:18:01. > :18:03.Caribbean bus conducts fors and my sister was a nurse, lots of
:18:04. > :18:07.Caribbean nurse, did you remember that period? Absolutely, one of the
:18:08. > :18:14.things my father would do was take me on the bus when he was doing his
:18:15. > :18:17.Ruth. Another shocking thing was one of the first black bus conductorers
:18:18. > :18:21.he said when he was giving back change people would just, put it
:18:22. > :18:26.beside him. So they didn't want to touch him, but, people like himself
:18:27. > :18:31.made it easier for my father when he came in the 60, so I applaud Donald
:18:32. > :18:35.and the contributions he made. Absolutely. Lots of difficult
:18:36. > :18:39.revelations for you in the first episode, but then things spark up a
:18:40. > :18:45.bit in the second episode. You move into the late 70s and the 80s and
:18:46. > :18:49.you four look to be having a ball, didn't you, what was the best thing
:18:50. > :18:55.maybe Tiana that you discovered, what was the most fun thing? I think
:18:56. > :19:00.that the best thing was the party, actually, we had a few parties
:19:01. > :19:03.during the '70s and 80s and they were really having everyone
:19:04. > :19:07.together, being with my family and things like that, it was a great
:19:08. > :19:12.experience. Yes, and speaking of music, it was funny, to see you
:19:13. > :19:17.struggling with a bit of 80s technology. Have a look at this.
:19:18. > :19:27.This way. That is the wrong way. Done it. Shall I just press record
:19:28. > :19:33.then? Right. That's not it. I don't know how do this. You are supposed
:19:34. > :19:39.to use... Shall we call mummy. Mum, none of us know how to get it to
:19:40. > :19:45.record. It is in the wrong way. Take it off.
:19:46. > :19:50.# I've been wanting you wanting you... #
:19:51. > :19:55.APPLAUSE It is how you used to tape the top
:19:56. > :19:59.40 back in the day, did you used to do that. My sister did that. I don't
:20:00. > :20:03.know what she did with it. That is when I picked up that phrase pop
:20:04. > :20:07.pickers. I still listen to my cassettings. As it should be. I
:20:08. > :20:12.would have thought the children remember most the revelation of what
:20:13. > :20:17.their dad was up to in the '90s, because I remember him, he was a
:20:18. > :20:28.role model for people like me, what was it? The first gladiator
:20:29. > :20:33.champion. Oh look at you! That is fantastic. I bet you had loads of
:20:34. > :20:39.fun looking up the footage of that. You can see the final episode of
:20:40. > :20:44.Back in Time For Brixton on Monday 9.00 on BBC Two. Romane we gave you
:20:45. > :20:49.a copy of David's book midnight gang. You have read a bit. In three
:20:50. > :20:55.words, how would you sum it up for us. Here we go. No pressure.
:20:56. > :21:03.Couldn't put it down. Couldn't put it down. Four words! You can't get
:21:04. > :21:10.better than that. We promised you we would hear from Luton's finest, here
:21:11. > :21:15.she is, it is Nadiya. Incredible spice man Cyrus is one of
:21:16. > :21:23.Britain's leading chefs. His dishes are inspired by the cuisine of his
:21:24. > :21:28.ancestors Parses. They have always had a bit of fruit in their flavour,
:21:29. > :21:37.they like fresh flavour, they don't like heavy rich deep flavours.
:21:38. > :21:41.Yummy. Nice? The food is lighter, so 1400 years now, the cooking
:21:42. > :21:45.definitely takes in more Indian roots.
:21:46. > :21:49.Cyrus has bon an lifelong mission to spread these Parsee flavours and not
:21:50. > :21:54.only as a TV chef. Still hands on in his restaurants he
:21:55. > :22:00.has been awarded an MBE and an OBE for his services to the industry, in
:22:01. > :22:05.educating the next generation of cook, so what fuels his relentless
:22:06. > :22:09.schedule? Hopefully I will find out what a breakfast a superchef goes to
:22:10. > :22:17.work on. Cyrus won't be cooking this morning. It is his wife and business
:22:18. > :22:22.partner. Most of the males we -- meals we eat are breakfast. Like to
:22:23. > :22:28.cook, he is simple to please. What is absolutely like a ritual in the
:22:29. > :22:35.house is breakfast, we have a typical scrambled egg we do. It is
:22:36. > :22:40.awesome. Let's get cracking. My mum does French toast. Similar to
:22:41. > :22:48.what you are doing, mixed in with the eggs and dips her bread in She
:22:49. > :22:53.prepared the chilli, coriander and garlic. If even says garlic for
:22:54. > :22:58.breakfast is wrong, they need to be here and smell it. That is a lovely
:22:59. > :23:07.smell. I don't know how somebody cannot eat garlic. Eggs? Unlike my
:23:08. > :23:11.scrambled eggs these take a lot of stirring giving a creamier texture,
:23:12. > :23:15.this is unusual. It is like if you were making a sauce, how you would
:23:16. > :23:19.stir a sauce, I have never cooked eggs like this. I will never move
:23:20. > :23:24.from here, once it starts setting it is difficult. This is the last
:23:25. > :23:28.thing. The last thing that come, if they are not on the dining table I
:23:29. > :23:33.scream. Fortunately Cyrus and her son are
:23:34. > :23:40.ready and waiting at the table. There you go. The eggs are served up
:23:41. > :23:45.with thin baked buttery toast. I have never eaten scrambled eggs like
:23:46. > :23:49.this. I yearn for it. It tasted better when she cooks, I will not
:23:50. > :23:53.cook them. You can taste the garlic, the chilli and you can taste the
:23:54. > :23:58.coriander and it is not overwhelming, it is a perfect
:23:59. > :24:02.breakfast. Sir ruse's cuisine can come as a surprise to many fans of
:24:03. > :24:08.Indian food. Even to those from India. India is so vast, they
:24:09. > :24:14.themselves forget there is is a lot more to Indian than their particular
:24:15. > :24:16.cuisine. 20 economy sins in one country, somebody from the north
:24:17. > :24:23.will not like the food from the south. His dishes have won over
:24:24. > :24:27.diners in very high places, though cooking for VIPs brings its own
:24:28. > :24:31.complications. If you are cook foger a US President, you will have 50
:24:32. > :24:35.people hanging round you, you are so scared because you are walking under
:24:36. > :24:40.constant surveillance, the one plate of food, took ten minutes to
