26/01/2018 The One Show

Hello and welcome to The One Show

with Alex Jones. And my co-host, Ade

Adepitan. Now, with us are group of

people who certainly know how to

hold a tune, isn't that right?

# yes!

And you are all excited about

tonight's guest.

# yes!

Let's get on with it.

Joining

us tonight is one of the hottest

music acts around. She is the winner

of the BBC Sound of 2018, Sigrid

will be performing for us later.

And

a man who has admitted he knows

nothing about singing, despite being

the host of the new BBC singing show

altogether now.

# Rob Beckett!

Wow! I might hire this lovely choir

for when I answer the phone.

for when I answer the phone.

So your

new show is all about group singing.

We will talk about that later. But

you were the first to admit you are

tuneless. So how did you get the

gig?

I don't know! I wasn't going to

say no, what I? To be fair, my job

involves hosting. There are 100

judges on this show. They watch a

performer and if they like them,

they stand up and join in and they

give their opinions. There are

enough opinions on the show from

people who understand music. The 100

is made up of musical people.

We

will talk about it later.

Sorry! I

went into early. We have other

things to get in about fly-tipping.

You have a newborn.

Four weeks old.

Are you getting enough sleep and are

you going to be awake to watch the

show tomorrow?

I'm not getting

enough sleep, but my wife is getting

even less. We had an argument in the

shops last week. It's not a

competition as to who is most tired.

We are tired in different ways. I

said we are not arguing about this.

She said, I know we are not having a

competition, but if we were, I would

win! And she is right. I will

probably be asleep by the time the

show goes on.

We start tonight with

a bit of bridge building. One to

file under never going to happen is

the bridge under the Channel -- the

bridge over the ship Channel fours

Johnson suggested in his recent

visit.

But it has led to proposals

for a crossing between Northern

Ireland and Scotland. Could it work?

At the moment, if you want to get

from Northern Ireland to Scotland,

you have two options. Fly or sale.

What if there was a third way? What

if you could drive? The two

countries are just 13 miles apart at

their narrowest point, well within

the scope of some of the super

bridge is already in use around the

world. It could cost 15 billion, but

the party backing it does seem to

have a knack for fundraising at the

moment.

We believe in a link between

Northern Ireland and Scotland not

only to bring us closer together,

but it would revolutionise our

tourism industry. It would boost

trade between Northern Ireland and

the whole island of Ireland and

Scotland and the whole of Great

Britain.

So it is creating this

Celtic connection physically

possible? This architect says it is.

There are two possible

There are two possible options here,

from Belfast or Antrim.

But there is

a problem lurking in the deep. At

the bottom of the Irish Sea runs a

300 metre deep, 50 kilometre long

trench that is full of unexploded

munitions from World War II.

We now

have the technology, based upon a

prototype developed in Norway, for

floating bridges. It would be

constructed like an oil rig. There

would be a top to it which would be

an island, but it would be attached

to the base of the sea through

cables.

Many architects and

economists have said it is just not

financially feasible, but I guess

the question ultimately lies with

the people who live on both sides of

this stretch of water. Do they

actually want a concrete Celtic

connection? As I arrive in the port,

a possible starting point for the

bridge, I'm surprised to find people

sounding cautiously optimistic.

It's

a brilliant idea. The ferry

companies have fleeced the people of

Northern Ireland for years. I find

it extortionate.

Boris Johnson wants

his bridge to France. We should have

a smaller bridge.

In theory, it

sounds brilliant. In practice, I

don't think it will happen.

The next

morning, I had over the Irish Sea to

see what people in the Scottish town

of Stranraer think of it.

I think

it's fantastic.

If you were able to

drive to Northern Ireland, I would

go at the weekend and not think

twice about it.

Where is the money

coming from? How are you going to

fund it?

How would you respond to

the critics who say this is a

gargantuan waste of money?

I would

say that other nations are looking

at it and have delivered even more

ambitious infrastructure projects.

It would revolutionise business and

tourism. It would provide a boost

for the whole country.

It would be

worth it in the long one. I think it

would be more accessible.

Worth

every penny? Do you think it is

important culturally to link

Northern Ireland and Scotland?

Absolutely. It is part of us. I feel

a strong connection.

Apart from a

silly accent, I think the Scots and

Irish are very similar minded.

I am

sure the ferry companies would say

their pricing is competitive and

fair.

Smooth!

Not clunky at all,

Alex.

Talking about bridges, Rob, we

hear you are big fan of the Sydney

Harbour Bridge.

I wouldn't say I'm a

big fan, but it is one of my

favourites. I don't visit regularly.

What was going on here?

I am a bit

sunburned, but was touring Australia

and I went to Sydney on my own on

the way back climbed up the bridge

and thought I would ruin everyone

else's photo. I am on tiptoes. That

is the only way to climb it, in

Cuban heels.

You have no time to be

climbing bridges. You are

everywhere. You are in All Together

Now, so you are becoming Mr Saturday

night.

I don't know about that. It

has not even been on yet.

Some

comedians would shy away, because

they would think, I don't know if I

want to be that mainstream. But you

are brilliant at it.

On All Together

Now, I do what I do at the gigs. If

you had Frankie Boyle hosting it, it

would be a very different show. I

don't feel like I am changing who I

am, so it fits perfectly. When the

contestants things, I walk along and

check the Luke chats to the judges

and the singers. It is different to

normal cultures because I get to

mess about and take the mick a bit.

It is not so serious that you can't

have a laugh. I get to be a

comedian, rather than just being a

brilliant.

How is it different from

other singing shows?

There are 100

judges rather than the traditional

three or four, and they are all made

up of professionals like choir

leaders and tribute acts. And if

they enjoy the singing, they stand

up and sing along. If not, they stay

seated. So it can be tense.

You

would be gutted if no one stands up.

Exactly. We try and keep the

aggression to a minimum.

Sorry.

It

reminds me a bit of the Muppet show,

in a good way. Also, you cover loads

of genres. There was a bit of jazz,

rock, opera. Tomorrow night, there

was a contestant singing a Lionel

Richie hit.

You have to be good at

singing to get away with that shirt

combo. Are the 100 going to join in?

# all night long, all night.

# all night long!

When you came out,

I liked the way you were.

I liked the way you were.

This is

like organising the most stressful

hen do of all time.

So you were having fun and. We

present with Geri Horner.

She leaves

the 100. So she is getting up and

singing along. So you her feedback

as well as the rest. And there is no

record Deal or career promise. It is

£50,000 to the winner.

I don't want

to W in, but Geri Horner was not

your favourite Spice Girl, was she?

Well, she was, but at primary

school, I had to dress up as a Spice

Girl. I was in a covers band and I

was Baby Spice because I am blonde.

You can't lick Ginger spice of the

kid with red hair. That was his

role.

No spoilers about your show,

but you have been busy spoiling

people's films on Twitter.

I hadn't

seen Titanic and then I saw your

Twitter.

I did pass muster on Dave,

and then I did champion of

champions.

champions. Well done to whoever won

it. But it had been on police. If

you didn't watch, it is your fault.

So I said well done and they said,

you have ruined it! No, you have

come to my Twitter and looked at

what I said. I have not turned up in

your front room and said Josh wins

that. So I haven't ruined it. So

then I went on a ruling streak.

You

have done all the big films,

including Jaws.

I tweeted, there was

a big shot in the film. -- a big

shark.

Any spoilers, don't go to

rob's Twitter. Altogether now is on

tomorrow evening at 7:15pm on BBC

One.

In case you hadn't noticed,

this month is being called

Veganuary. It's a campaign to get

people to join thousands who have

already chosen a vegan lifestyle.

Tony Singh has taken to the streets

of his hometown to see what is on

the menu when you take meat and

dairy profit.

Vegan this is on the rise. It is

reckoned that there are now more

than half a million people in the UK

who have ditched meat, fish and

dairy. Many believe it is less

harmful for the environment. So what

do the people of Edinburgh think

about going vegan?

I would make an

attempt, but I don't think I would

be very successful. I really like

seafood.

I was vegan for a month,

not by choice, but I was working on

a farm.

Vegan is and is getting more

popular amongst my friends at uni. I

am one of the odd ones out because I

do still eat meat.

And the UK food

industry is taking notice, with

high-street chains such as

Wetherspoon and Pizza Hut now

offering vegan options. Even Ben &

Jerry's offered their own dairy free

range of ice cream. And it seems

more and more people are thinking

about adopting a meat and dairy free

diet. So, I am heading to an

Edinburgh institution that has

recently gone vegan. Henderson's, a

staple of the Scottish vegetarian

dining scene since 1962, has

recently changed one of its

restaurants to 100% vegan. Even the

upholstery is vegan.

The difference

we are trying to make is not to

serve just replacements for meat and

dairy products, but to make

something that is different, that is

original.

What were the main changes

you had to implement to make it

vegan?

First, we had to replace all

of the dairy butter with vegetable

spreads and 100% vegan wines.

Why do

you think vegan as is on the rise?

I

think people are starting to be more

aware about the way we are living.

Being vegan is an ethical and

sustainable choice not only for

animals, but also for the

environment.

Well, it looks amazing

and smells amazing. Will it taste

amazing?

You have to try.

First off,

vegan chocolate brownie.

The trick

to the texts of the brownie is sweet

potato.

You would never tell. It's

lovely.

And here we have haggis.

With vegetables and whiskey sauce.

That is lovely. Since haggis is the

national dish, why do we challenge

some haggis it is to try my

traditional haggis against your

vegan version?

Great.

So it's off to

Edinburgh's very own Murrayfield

golf course for our One Show test.

And our judges are four haggis

living golfers, fresh from a round

of 18 holes. Time to get to work. I

will start by boiling the sheep's

heart, lungs and liver. Meanwhile,

our chef fries and and garam masala.

My haggis is then put into a sheep

stomach. Then it is boiled for a few

hours while I get to work on a

whiskey gravy. And to get that

haggis texture, the chef adds kidney

beans, shredded carrots and peanut

oatmeal. That looks like haggis.

Time to get the haggis out of the

pan. And both are served the way

they should be, with Scottish

potatoes. Ready to eat. First, what

do they make of the vegan haggis?

The one on the left has a smoother

texture.

And how about the

traditional one?

The one on the

right is fatter, it is more like

what you would expect a meat haggis

to be.

So would they consider a

vegan option in the future?

It

doesn't bother me where the food has

got me to not as long as it is

tasty.

If you were at a Burns

supper, which would you

supper, which would you prefer? We

will

call it a draw! Of Aegon food looked

delicious. Rob, you look like a

meaty guy. What is your diet like?

I

try to be good, but you know what

it's like. On the road, it's a

nightmare, a lot of services. I am

going all day but I end up having

something awful services.

You are

wheat and gluten intolerant?

I don't

know, I am having a blood test next

week, actually. You don't want to

get bogged down in my admin! I don't

think it is fully gluten, I don't

want everyone on my back.

We don't

need to talk about that.

But you are

thinking about

thinking about veganism?

Yes, I'm

thinking of doing it in steps, cut

out the red meat, then the white

meat, be vegetarian, and then become

vegan.

Well, we have some chefs, and

they have made some of your

favourite dishes, they are going to

make a doner kebab, then a pepperoni

pizza and some mac & cheese.

pizza and some mac & cheese.

Now,

you

you started What The Pitta if you

years ago. How do you make doner

kebab without any meat in it?

We put

various things in, we make a sauce

and various vegetables.

It sounds

tasty, but I will be the judge of

that.

That is the most elegantly I

have ever seen a kabaddi eaten!

Now,

Fabio, how do you make salami

Fabio, how do you make salami that

is vegan?

We use set of herbs and

spices are quite secret, and it is

quite delicious, it has all the

range of the cold cuts and the

cheese that we do.

Lets see if we

will be visiting your restaurant.

I've got some of your pizza here.

That is really good. It is spicy! I

wasn't prepared for that.

Let's move

on quickly.

on quickly. Gavin, you are known as

an avant-garde Vigo.

an avant-garde Vigo. -- vegan. So

what is in your vegan mac & cheese?

To make it really creamy and cheesy,

I have used cashew nuts, and lets

them up. I have used nutritional

yeast, it used to be of Aegon -- a

vegan ingredient, but I have topped

it with crispy coconut bacon as

well.

That is well sold.

Get in

there! That is good, considering I

don't know anything that is in it!

Thank you so much to the three of

you.

Shortly, the BBC's Sound

of 2018 winner, Sigrid,

will be serenading us with two

and a half minutes of sublime

Scandinavian singing.

But before that, some heavy

Yorkshire rock.

40 years ago, this former cutlery

factory in Sheffield featured one of

the groups who went on to become one

of the biggest rock bands in the

world, Def Leppard. Pour Some Sugar

On Me launched them, and they have

now Solder hundred million records

worldwide. We brought them back to

where it all began.

We spent most of

our lives in here, playing, hanging

out.

The first gig we ever played

was in this room, really. We had an

invited audience.

They were a rented

crowd, all of our mates.

We only had

four or five songs, but we did it

like a gig. It was brilliant fun.

At

the time, you just think, this is

great. We are going to be huge.

We

could work in a place like this

making cutlery, or we could work in

a place making music, and it was

kind of a no-brainer.

Over the next

few years, the band made three

albums and gained a huge American

audience. But back home in the UK,

they remained relatively unknown. Is

it odd for you being big in America

and yet not really picking up so

well here?

The word apparently would

have been big in our family.

Apparently, they are quite big in

America. But back in those days, if

you were on telly, you must be

famous, but we weren't on the telly

or the radio in England, so it was

just hearsay.

Rather than sitting

back on their stateside success, the

band resolved to try to take their

music to a wider audience.

We didn't

want to alienate ourselves from the

heavy metal crowd that had been with

us from the first day, it was just

trying to bridge that gap of making

an album that was kind of universal.

But it meant a very slow start in

the studio as the band began

experimenting. Then progress was

halted further when the drummer was

involved in a terrible accident,

severing one arm.

Initially, your

biggest concerns are whether he was

going to live. We didn't really

think about how he would continue.

How do you deal with somebody

telling you that your drummer has

lost 50% of what he needs to do for

a living?

But Rick worked tirelessly

to develop a new electronic drum

kit.

And he started playing, and we

were like, wow.

It gave us more of

an identity on how we sound.

The

album finally came together, and was

almost finished when their producer

came across Joe strumming his

acoustic guitar.

And he was like,

what is that, so I played it, and he

said, that is the best song I have

heard in five or ten years. And he

said, we should do this.

You know, the lyrics, with Pour Some

Sugar On Me it has always been a

metaphor for the mating ritual, it

wasn't Bob Dylan, but phonetically

was bang on.

Iowa's heart back to

Little Richard, he has this once on,

the lyrics don't mean anything, but

who cares?

With the release of the

song, the album Hysteria was finally

released in 1987. It has sold 25

million copies to date, and the

success is largely due to that

track. And today for the first time

in 40 years, especially for The One

Show, they are back in the old

factory playing their signature

song.

# Love is like a bomb

# Love is like a bomb

#, and get it on

# Living like a lover...

It is such an audience participation

song, very simple and less melodic,

but it just had an impact.

It is

just a great vibe to do.

# Pour some sugar on me

# Pour your sugar on me...

The crowd are louder than we are

because there are 20,000 of them.

Now, for fans of Def Leppard, they

are on tour later this year. Rob, if

you grow your hair, you could be

part of them.

You have got the

style! You could be their son!

Maybe

I am. I have always been a big fan.

We're joined by the BBC Music Sound

of 2018 winner, Sigrid.

APPLAUSE

Def Leppard recorded their music in

a cutlery factory, but you recorded

yours somewhere far more a Dellit.

Yes, I recorded back home in my

hometown, that is pretty nice, isn't

it?

That is not bad. Is that the

Northern lights in the background?

I

think it is just the son!

It looks

right.

And congratulations.

Thank

you.

We know you've been nominated

for a Best New Artist award

at the NME Awards next month.

Fingers crossed!

We're looking forward to hearing

you sing in just a moment,

a special stripped-back,

acoustic version of

your single Strangers.

So off you go to get ready.

Thanks to Rob for all

the laughs this evening.

All Together Now is on tomorrow

at 7.15pm on BBC One.

Thanks to you, too, Ade.

Matt and I will be back on Monday

with the FA CUP Draw.

And Griff Rhys Jones.

Here's Sigrid with her

latest single Strangers.
