:00:08. > :00:13.Tonight on Jerry Springer, clash of the co-presenters. Matt, what is
:00:14. > :00:21.your story? She makes fun of me, really bad. She calls me Barmy
:00:22. > :00:28.Farmer Baker. Today, she left an inflatable sheep in my dressing
:00:29. > :00:33.room! Lets meet this dreadful woman. Hang on! It is you that makes fun of
:00:34. > :00:45.me. Why do I find this in my dressing room? Aleeks? Aleeks Jones!
:00:46. > :01:00.This could be a long show... Don't worry, we buried the hatchet.
:01:01. > :01:08.Welcome to The One Show with my best buddy, Matt Baker. And Aleeks Jones!
:01:09. > :01:16.And the man that has brought us together, TV's most notorious
:01:17. > :01:22.ringmaster, Jerry Springer! Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!
:01:23. > :01:28.I'm glad you guys are back together again and all of the fighting is
:01:29. > :01:35.over, I was getting so upset. I got his name wrong, can you believe it?
:01:36. > :01:39.Let's not go there, we'll start arguing again. Happy 70th birthday
:01:40. > :01:46.for a couple weeks ago. That's why they chant, Jerry! Jerry! They have
:01:47. > :01:51.to repeat it so I remember my name. Now I hope they start yelling out my
:01:52. > :01:56.address, so I know how to get home. It hasn't been a good week for a
:01:57. > :02:01.British talk show host in the States. Piers Morgan, his show on
:02:02. > :02:07.CNN has been canned due to, they say, poor ratings. Would you take
:02:08. > :02:13.over that show? No. First of all, it is a different network. You know,
:02:14. > :02:19.so... That is not even an issue. But beyond that, I think he did a really
:02:20. > :02:27.good job. Why do you think he didn't work out, then? Why does any show
:02:28. > :02:30.work or not? We don't know. There is no formula to a successful show, if
:02:31. > :02:34.there was, there would be no failures. Everybody would follow
:02:35. > :02:41.that formula. You never know. Television is changing. The format
:02:42. > :02:46.may be much more difficult now. People are used to television being
:02:47. > :02:51.very quick. Images, quick. You know? Now, all of a sudden, you are
:02:52. > :02:53.sitting down and talking to somebody for an extended period and it's hard
:02:54. > :02:57.to keep people's attention. Everything has to be within 30
:02:58. > :03:05.seconds. On that very note, we have to move on to keep the energy going!
:03:06. > :03:14.Are you serious? Can I stay? We've got an hour! Really? Jerry! Jerry!
:03:15. > :03:17.It's a rowdy over there, also in the studio are members of what could be
:03:18. > :03:18.one of the worst foot all teams in Britain. Tunstall Town FC are with
:03:19. > :03:28.us! They are very nice, but they have
:03:29. > :03:32.battled on for six and a half years without winning. This week, things
:03:33. > :03:38.are different, eventually. What a week it has been. If you know of a
:03:39. > :03:42.sporting try hard to put in the effort but never quite gets the
:03:43. > :03:46.result, please send a photo of them and we will celebrate them, as best
:03:47. > :03:51.we can, later in the show. We also have something you are going to
:03:52. > :04:00.love, and probably won't have seen in 30 years of broadcasting. Phil
:04:01. > :04:07.Tufnell has more details. Or is it Phil Shadow? I am with a dance group
:04:08. > :04:14.that are true pioneers. They are called Pilobolus and they have wowed
:04:15. > :04:18.audiences for four decades with mesmerising performances. They have
:04:19. > :04:22.put together something special and exclusive just for The One Show and,
:04:23. > :04:26.apparently, I am going to be in it. Without a shadow of a doubt, I think
:04:27. > :04:32.we are going to enjoy this. I like the way he was reading as he went
:04:33. > :04:37.backwards and got carried off. We also have Gaby Roslin here, with
:04:38. > :04:46.some stars of her new show. Wonderful to have her in. We don't
:04:47. > :04:50.want to frighten the dogs. Are they being well-behaved at the moment?
:04:51. > :04:57.Very well behaved, look at the size of this dog. That is Monty, we will
:04:58. > :05:01.get introduced soon. According to the latest official figures, the
:05:02. > :05:04.average house price in the UK has hit two than ?50,000 for the first
:05:05. > :05:11.time ever. Across the country, what you get for your money varies
:05:12. > :05:15.hugely. -- ?250,000. To find out how big the gap is, we sent Anita Rani
:05:16. > :05:18.and Simon Boazman to different parts of the country to tell a tale of two
:05:19. > :05:21.houses. It is ten o'clock on Saturday
:05:22. > :05:25.morning. If you are selling your house, this is the day you pin your
:05:26. > :05:31.hopes on four viewings. In London, prices are soaring. Elsewhere in the
:05:32. > :05:35.North of England, the Midlands and Wales, it is a very different story.
:05:36. > :05:41.House prices have dropped or remained stagnant. I am in
:05:42. > :05:45.Blackburn, an area that had a big drop in house prices, falling 19% in
:05:46. > :05:53.the last six years. This three-bedroom semidetached behind me
:05:54. > :05:57.is on the market for ?125,000. I am in West Norwood, the deaths of
:05:58. > :06:00.south-east London. Like the rest of the capital, property prices are
:06:01. > :06:07.booming. In the last year alone, they have gone up 20%. This
:06:08. > :06:16.three-bedroom end of terrace is on at ?575,000. Roy and Julie have
:06:17. > :06:20.lived here for seven years, but now wants to move so they can be nearer
:06:21. > :06:27.their grandchildren. How long has it been on the market for? Six months.
:06:28. > :06:35.No offers yet. How much did you buy this for? 118. It is on the market
:06:36. > :06:43.for? 125. Did anybody suggest robbing the price? We did, we put it
:06:44. > :06:46.on at 130, it's quiet at the moment. This house in London is getting 20
:06:47. > :06:51.viewings in one day. You have an open day happening, what's that? It
:06:52. > :06:54.is an up and coming area because there are some in the people
:06:55. > :06:57.looking. The most efficient and effective way of getting everybody
:06:58. > :07:00.to see it is all in one go. It means anybody interested can stay to see
:07:01. > :07:03.it is all in one go. Is anybody interested can state their interest
:07:04. > :07:08.right away. What is the most over the asking price a property has sold
:07:09. > :07:16.for? In my experience, 15%. Like this going for 630. Is that normal
:07:17. > :07:21.in London? Usually. Nine out of ten, we get asking price offers or
:07:22. > :07:26.multiple offers. Are you, the estate agents, pushing values up by causing
:07:27. > :07:30.this open day scenario, where you have loads of people coming, getting
:07:31. > :07:34.people into bidding wars? I don't think we are the problem at all. We
:07:35. > :07:38.have no control over the amount of demand varies. In Blackburn, Roy and
:07:39. > :07:46.Julie have their first viewing of three months. This is the living
:07:47. > :07:52.room. It's been decorated, to try and attract people. Dining room.
:07:53. > :07:57.Nice size. He's not a salesman, but he's giving it a pretty good girl.
:07:58. > :08:05.Plenty of space outside, it's all right. -- good go. Come back any
:08:06. > :08:08.time you like. It is nerve wracking showing a stranger around your
:08:09. > :08:12.house, trying to sell them something you want them to buy. Have you
:08:13. > :08:19.stopped daydreaming about the next place yet? I looked at one and then
:08:20. > :08:22.it was sold. I thought, rather than suck my heart on one, I'll wait till
:08:23. > :08:31.I get an offer on mine. -- set my heart on one.
:08:32. > :08:37.We had 70 around one last weekend. It's just too small. But the
:08:38. > :08:48.location... Six more viewings in one day? Not
:08:49. > :08:52.that many properties, lots of people that want to buy them. It's very
:08:53. > :08:59.much different since I last looked for a property five years ago. Now
:09:00. > :09:01.it is all about open day Best, a two our window, smashed through as much
:09:02. > :09:06.as you can, the whole thing takes two days. Hoping you win the com
:09:07. > :09:12.petition, that is what it feels like, quite pressured. Kate is a
:09:13. > :09:17.property analyst. Why is there such a flat market in the North? Part of
:09:18. > :09:21.it is wages. In this area, wages have hardly moved in the last ten
:09:22. > :09:25.years. There is then the ability to get a mortgage. If wages are not
:09:26. > :09:31.going up, if the lenders are not willing to lend, you can't have
:09:32. > :09:34.house prices rising as well. After spending the day with Roy and
:09:35. > :09:39.Julie, you can see it as a completely different world appear.
:09:40. > :09:44.From what Kate says, these guys are going to have a house on the market
:09:45. > :09:49.for a little bit longer yet. You might be asking, is this property
:09:50. > :09:54.really worth ?575,000? Well, if somebody is prepared to pay that
:09:55. > :10:01.much, yes, it is. In London, it is definitely a seller's market.
:10:02. > :10:06.Well, Anita wasn't that far away from our studio. Has it been snapped
:10:07. > :10:10.up? It has had three of us, we don't know what they are. The good news
:10:11. > :10:16.is, in Blackburn, Simon wants to take his wife back to have a second
:10:17. > :10:22.viewing. Fingers crossed! If anybody is looking for a house in
:10:23. > :10:27.Blackburn... We know that prices do vary between North and South. Has
:10:28. > :10:31.that disparity always been there? Why don't we take a look back to
:10:32. > :10:38.what the housing market was like? A fantastic One Show graphic. 1974, a
:10:39. > :10:46.house in the north-west, ?8,000 would buy you one! On average, yes.
:10:47. > :10:52.In London, ?13,000. I know, ?13,000 for a house! That's the interesting
:10:53. > :10:58.thing, the difference in the middle. Let's fast forward to 2013. The
:10:59. > :11:05.average house in the North West would cost you ?140,000.
:11:06. > :11:15.In London, just over 2.5 times more. ?345,000. There has always been a
:11:16. > :11:26.disparity. I often find London is almost like a
:11:27. > :11:32.different planet. Mortgage news is out today, what does this tell us?
:11:33. > :11:36.The good news for everybody is that more mortgages were approved last
:11:37. > :11:41.year, ?8 billion with more by January of this year, up 50% on the
:11:42. > :11:46.same time of the previous year. That is reflecting across the country.
:11:47. > :11:50.There is movement everywhere. Why the interest rates are really low, I
:11:51. > :11:55.suppose. Well, thank you for that. Jerry, you were born in London, but
:11:56. > :12:01.not in a posh Mayfair house? Your life started in... I was born in the
:12:02. > :12:07.subway station, Highgate station. How did you end up being born there?
:12:08. > :12:14.What were your parents doing? They were making love! When you were
:12:15. > :12:20.born? What happened, it was during the war. Often times, women in the
:12:21. > :12:29.ninth month would spend an evening in the subway because those were the
:12:30. > :12:34.bomb shelters. I was born at 11:45. Every time I hear a train go by,
:12:35. > :12:39.even at this time, I go... You would think they would a little plaque
:12:40. > :12:45.there, something that would say, Gerald was born here. We have a
:12:46. > :12:50.great props department. We will get Dave to go and mail one in. We can
:12:51. > :12:55.have a formal ceremony, and we can compare. I haven't changed. We'll
:12:56. > :12:59.hold you to that. Jerry is not the only person to start their life in
:13:00. > :13:04.an unusual location. Here are some One Show viewers that work born in
:13:05. > :13:10.very strange places indeed. I was born in 1956 and a small aircraft
:13:11. > :13:13.flying over East Africa. We were missionaries in Africa. We were
:13:14. > :13:20.opening this place, a hospital for maternity work. We had four
:13:21. > :13:25.children, expecting the fifth. Things went wrong and I was
:13:26. > :13:33.haemorrhaging badly. We needed to get to the hospital as quickly as we
:13:34. > :13:39.could. After 24 hours in labour, the plane arrived. It was a little
:13:40. > :13:43.plane. There was a pilot, doctor and nurse, then they have a stretcher,
:13:44. > :13:51.where I was on. I can remember having a big cylinder for oxygen. I
:13:52. > :13:56.was pretty well... Didn't care what happened. You get to the stage
:13:57. > :14:02.where... Am I a live one I not? You know? Halfway there, and our's
:14:03. > :14:09.flight, I was born over the river or Fiji. It says I was born in an
:14:10. > :14:12.aircraft in my passport. In my birth certificate, it says born in an
:14:13. > :14:20.aircraft. I was born in the ball with police station, here. September
:14:21. > :14:26.the 24th, 1991. She was saying, I need to go to the hospital, I think.
:14:27. > :14:29.We left, going down the road, I got down Gateshead Road, halfway. She
:14:30. > :14:34.said, were not going to make it. We went to the police station. I was on
:14:35. > :14:39.my break and I was told there was a car, with a lady that was in the
:14:40. > :14:44.car, downstairs, about to have a baby. I wasn't panicking at that
:14:45. > :14:50.stage. Your body takes over and you go with the flow. I was at the
:14:51. > :14:55.receiving end. Maybe being a cricketer, being a wicketkeeper, I
:14:56. > :15:01.did the right things! You were panicking, his face was white. I
:15:02. > :15:06.could see Jade, just the top part of her head was showing. So, I knew I
:15:07. > :15:14.didn't have much time. Within 12 minutes, Jade, as we now know Jade,
:15:15. > :15:20.was born. I was thinking to myself, do the right things. Make sure this
:15:21. > :15:25.baby is all right. Well, I'm all right! Thank you. Thanks for helping
:15:26. > :15:29.dad. And you are special to us. You are very special, you are a
:15:30. > :15:37.wonderful direct. We don't have another one, thank you! This is a
:15:38. > :15:42.black ruby, she was born on the A370, on a roundabout. I woke up at
:15:43. > :15:47.2am and started getting contractions. My sister wanted to be
:15:48. > :15:55.involved in the birth, because she wanted to be a midwife. I wanted to
:15:56. > :16:02.be in hospital to ask midwives questions. We started driving to the
:16:03. > :16:08.hospital. She started screaming, the baby is coming. The first time, I
:16:09. > :16:13.didn't really believe her. I told her, can you check and see what's
:16:14. > :16:18.going on? Just the head between her legs, looking at me. By the time we
:16:19. > :16:21.got to the roundabout, I stopped the car and quickly just jumped into the
:16:22. > :16:26.back. The first thing I thought was, OK, I've got to do it. This is it,
:16:27. > :16:34.it's going to happen. She just came out. It was really exciting, just to
:16:35. > :16:40.be the first to hold my little one. She is gorgeous. That film came from
:16:41. > :16:47.a call-out that we did when we knew you were coming on. We said, "If you
:16:48. > :16:51.have been born in unusual places..." Great idea to do that. You were
:16:52. > :16:56.saying you were born in London. Your parents took you to the States in
:16:57. > :17:01.1949? I left when I was five. I found out I couldn't be King! I was
:17:02. > :17:07.ticked off. So I said, "I'm out of here!" Now I can't be President!
:17:08. > :17:13.From an early age, they encouraged you to get into politics? Well,
:17:14. > :17:19.politics - public issues were very much a part of our family's life.
:17:20. > :17:24.Most of my family was exterminated in the concentration camps during
:17:25. > :17:29.World War Two. It wasn't something we once in a while talked about. I
:17:30. > :17:34.think out of that I developed this interest of politics. This is
:17:35. > :17:39.exactly when we came over. I read this story - was it your dad that
:17:40. > :17:42.encouraged you to talk about one story that you had read in a
:17:43. > :17:45.newspaper? Everyone in the family had to talk about one story they
:17:46. > :17:51.read in the newspaper. That is a great idea. Of course, when I was a
:17:52. > :17:54.little boy, I used to talk about sports, baseball and stuff like
:17:55. > :17:58.that. Then, eventually, I started moving up to the earlier pages of
:17:59. > :18:02.the newspaper and started talking about political things. Then you
:18:03. > :18:10.became - was it the Mayor of Cincinnati? Yeah. That was in the
:18:11. > :18:17.'70s. I was very young. I was "the Boy Mayor". They used to run a crawl
:18:18. > :18:22.at the bottom of the screen - "It is 11.00pm, do you know where your
:18:23. > :18:27.Mayor is?" What an achievement. I think people voted for me because
:18:28. > :18:31.they wanted to know where I was! LAUGHTER I don't know. Yeah, the
:18:32. > :18:37.people were really nice. They voted for me. It was the best job I had
:18:38. > :18:41.ever had, being a Mayor. Really? Why do you say that? It is important.
:18:42. > :18:46.Secondly, of any political job, at least in America, except for the
:18:47. > :18:52.presidency, it is the one job that is hands on. You are not debating
:18:53. > :18:56.issues, you are not talking just about philosophy, you are running a
:18:57. > :18:59.Police Department, a Fire Department, schools. You are really
:19:00. > :19:03.hands on. That was the top of the tree for you. You couldn't run for
:19:04. > :19:10.President because you were born here? What happens? I wind up doing
:19:11. > :19:17.this uplifting show(!) But the best Mayor story we love is in 1981 when,
:19:18. > :19:25.apparently, you wrestled a bear? LAUGHTER Please explain. It was a
:19:26. > :19:30.fundraiser. OK. Maybe it is the same thing in television - your assistant
:19:31. > :19:35.says, "We got a call, they want you to do this. It is four months from
:19:36. > :19:39.now." I say, "Put it on the calendar!" It was to raise money for
:19:40. > :19:46.a char tit. Every minute I could stay in the ring with this bear --
:19:47. > :19:49.raise money for charity. Every minute I could say in the ring with
:19:50. > :19:55.this bear, I would raise money for that charity. When I got there, I
:19:56. > :20:01.was frightened. I bet you were! I'm the Mayor and it is live on the Six
:20:02. > :20:05.O'Clock News. All stations went to it. And the crowd is cheering and
:20:06. > :20:12.yelling and I'm scared to death. I would love to see this. I would. .
:20:13. > :20:22.Shall we put it on? You have it? We think this is it! APPLAUSE You were
:20:23. > :20:30.good! CROWD: Jerry! Jerry!
:20:31. > :20:34.I had that bear scared! I'm dancing around for the first two rounds. The
:20:35. > :20:39.trainer says, "You can play around, he won't hurt you, but don't touch
:20:40. > :20:46.his nose." After two rounds, I figure I got this thing licked! You
:20:47. > :20:53.didn't? I touched his nose. Boom! I was wearing glasses. I always wear
:20:54. > :21:00.glasses. I was hurt. You can't cry. Wow. Of course not. He is on me.
:21:01. > :21:08.They are trying to pull him off. I'm like - it was horrible. What a claim
:21:09. > :21:12.to fame. You got the money. His name was Victor. ?550 - you wrestle a
:21:13. > :21:15.bear! He probably would. Time to catch up with Phil now who is in
:21:16. > :21:20.another television studio across town in Hammersmith. Phil, explain
:21:21. > :21:25.to us why you are over there? Well, I'm here with a dance group
:21:26. > :21:30.Pilobolus who are known for their amazing shadow performances. They
:21:31. > :21:34.have done an exclusive for The One Show, but because their shadow
:21:35. > :21:38.screen is so huge, we have had to come down to the Riverside Studios
:21:39. > :21:44.here in Hammersmith. Now, here is a bit more info. It is all crazy. It
:21:45. > :21:56.is all going on back there. This is what they do.
:21:57. > :21:59.This is Shadowland - creating a performance that merges projected
:22:00. > :22:05.images and front of screen choreography. It is the creation of
:22:06. > :22:17.New York-based theatre company Pilobolus. They are here in London
:22:18. > :22:22.to show me how it's done. Now, we have all seen shadow theatre before,
:22:23. > :22:28.but you were the first? We started in 2006 with a commercial request to
:22:29. > :22:34.make a car advert with no car in it. But just bodies creating the shape
:22:35. > :22:43.of the car. Eventually, created Shadowland. Everyone has a
:22:44. > :22:47.connection to shadows. It connects to childhoods and as we were falling
:22:48. > :22:51.asleep, when we were seven or eight years old, it is astounding what you
:22:52. > :22:56.can create on the bedroom wall. What are the difficulties with creating
:22:57. > :23:01.shadows? All of these people are tremendous athletes. And they are
:23:02. > :23:06.enormously gifted artists. When you walk away from the screen, you
:23:07. > :23:09.become larger in shadow. When you walk towards a person, you become
:23:10. > :23:13.smaller in shadow which is the opposite of what we normally
:23:14. > :23:16.experience. When these artists are appearing to touch each other in
:23:17. > :23:25.shadow, they may be five feet away from each other. It is tremendously
:23:26. > :23:34.precise, completely intolerant of error and very difficult to achieve.
:23:35. > :23:40.So, that is what they do. I'm excited because I'm going to be
:23:41. > :23:45.performing with them tonight. What have you got in store for me? We are
:23:46. > :23:49.going to put a little story together that tells of our journey from New
:23:50. > :23:52.York, where we are from, to London, the great City of London, where we
:23:53. > :23:56.will be performing in a couple of weeks. Fantastic. I have had a look
:23:57. > :24:01.behind the screen and they are all in their underwear. Can I keep my
:24:02. > :24:07.kit on? Whatever you like! As long as you also wear this raincoat.
:24:08. > :24:11.Lovely. I have a prop. And THIS umbrella. A brolly, thank God for
:24:12. > :24:17.that! I can keep me kit on! Join us later when you will see me make my
:24:18. > :24:22.debut as a shadow performer! That's live on The One Show. Can't wait. I
:24:23. > :24:29.like the way Phil is dressed as a shadow tonight. He looks nice all in
:24:30. > :24:36.black! We know you took part in Dancing with the Stars? Yes. How did
:24:37. > :24:40.you do? Well, I lasted pretty long. I think eight weeks. But people kept
:24:41. > :24:48.voting for me because they wanted to hurt me. Ah. You go backstage and
:24:49. > :24:52.they interview you and the contestants are always going, "Call
:24:53. > :24:58.this number so I can stay on." I'm always going, "Please, I can't do it
:24:59. > :25:03.anymore!" Don't call the number. Everything hurt. You did it for an
:25:04. > :25:07.interesting reason? To dance with my daughter at her wedding. That was
:25:08. > :25:11.great. It went well, did the performance at the wedding go to
:25:12. > :25:15.plan? This is the silly part. Katie is wearing this beautiful wedding
:25:16. > :25:22.gown so we are doing the father-daughter dance and Katie
:25:23. > :25:30.says, "Dad, they can't see my feet." I didn't have to go on the show at
:25:31. > :25:36.all. Who was your favourite judge? Oh, well, I liked them all. Len was
:25:37. > :25:42.closest to my age so I related to him. Just as well. We do have a
:25:43. > :25:46.message from Len. Are you serious? Jerry Springer, I remember you on
:25:47. > :25:52.Dancing with the Stars so well. Oh, that final dance, the waltz, full of
:25:53. > :25:55.rise and fall, beautiful flow of the body and you wanted to learn it for
:25:56. > :25:59.your daughter's wedding. There she was in the audience and at the end,
:26:00. > :26:03.you went over and gave her a kiss. How did the wedding go? I have never
:26:04. > :26:10.found out. I'm available for lunch any time you want to pay. Good luck.
:26:11. > :26:16.Ahh! He is a nice bloke. APPLAUSE That is great. We did go to lunch
:26:17. > :26:22.right after that season, I was here in London. Did you pay? I DID pay.
:26:23. > :26:28.That is why he wants to do it again. Good. What a nice guy. That was very
:26:29. > :26:32.nice. Well, Matt is sick to death of talking about dancing so he has gone
:26:33. > :26:37.to find the football boys. We met them briefly earlier at the top of
:26:38. > :26:40.the show. Here are seven members of the Tunstall Town FC who haven't won
:26:41. > :26:48.a game in six-and-a-half years - but they won last Saturday! CHEERING
:26:49. > :26:54.Come on! George, you are the manager. That's right. How long have
:26:55. > :27:02.you played for the team? 13 seasons. What was the score? 2-1. Who scored?
:27:03. > :27:05.Hands up. What was the last five minutes of the game like knowing
:27:06. > :27:10.that potentially you could win? Nerve-wracking. Longest five minutes
:27:11. > :27:15.of my life! I don't know where the referee found the injury-time from!
:27:16. > :27:23.Frank, 29 years on the team. What does it feel like to finally win?
:27:24. > :27:28.Well, we had certainly given ourselves time to practice the
:27:29. > :27:35.celebrations! What did you do? It involved quite a lot of alcohol.
:27:36. > :27:42.Yes. Did you get bruised in the... Yes. Good lad! Very quickly, at the
:27:43. > :27:49.end here, the next game is - you have high hopes for the next match.
:27:50. > :27:57.How many people were there? 12 people. If people want to come and
:27:58. > :28:02.see you, where is the match? It's in Stoke-on-Trent and everybody come
:28:03. > :28:06.down and give us a cheer and give us sponsorship! Great. It is just
:28:07. > :28:11.around the corner from George's house. So they can all park on your
:28:12. > :28:14.drive! Good lad. Lads, thanks ever so much and good luck for the
:28:15. > :28:19.weekend! Come on! Very shortly, we will be chatting to Gaby Roslin and
:28:20. > :28:24.finding out why she has joined us with some furry fenced and Alex is
:28:25. > :28:28.outside with them now -- furry friends and Alex is outside with
:28:29. > :28:37.them now. I'm on pooper scooper duty. My absolute favourite(!)
:28:38. > :28:40.Before we chat, there is another in our series of looking at the stories
:28:41. > :28:49.behind some of our favourite dog breeds. This is Honey, a German
:28:50. > :28:55.Shepherd dog that we re-homed from a rescue organisation. She is an
:28:56. > :29:01.unruly new addition to our family. I used to watch Rin Tin Tin on TV so I
:29:02. > :29:17.have associated German Shepherd dogs with the Army and that kind of work.
:29:18. > :29:21.Rin Tin Tin would race to the aid of the US Cavalry. I would like to know
:29:22. > :29:27.where the whole dog thing came from. She is off already! And my hunch
:29:28. > :29:38.that the German Shepherd had links to the military appears to be right.
:29:39. > :29:44.It owes its existence to a cavalry captain in the Prussian army. He was
:29:45. > :29:51.out on manoeuvres and his attention was absorbed by noticing a shepherd
:29:52. > :29:58.down in the Valley, working his dogs with the flock. Often, the shepherd
:29:59. > :30:01.would control him simply by gesture, rather than command. The moment
:30:02. > :30:10.occurred to him that he wanted to devote his life to evolving a dog
:30:11. > :30:15.that have those qualities. Honey, we're talking about your great,
:30:16. > :30:24.great, great grandad! And many more generations! Her ancestors can be
:30:25. > :30:29.traced back to this dog. The cavalry captain believed that aesthetics
:30:30. > :30:33.should be ignored. He said about promoting the breed as a working dog
:30:34. > :30:38.for the Armed Forces. As a result, tens of thousands of them work used
:30:39. > :30:41.by the German army in the Great War. We have come to a military museum to
:30:42. > :30:48.find out more about how these dogs worked in the trenches. Goodness me,
:30:49. > :30:57.look at this. So, we go from being a shepherd dog, to this? Indeed. There
:30:58. > :31:00.are given so many important husks to do. Unravelling telephone cables,
:31:01. > :31:06.carrying medical supplies to the wounded. Scenting out the people
:31:07. > :31:13.that were badly injured, dying on the battlefield. Their contribution
:31:14. > :31:18.to the war effort did not go unnoticed by Allied forces. They
:31:19. > :31:23.impressed the British soldiers that brought them back to England and
:31:24. > :31:27.established them as they breed in England. By World War II, the German
:31:28. > :31:32.Shepherd had proved its worth on the battlefield and would serve on both
:31:33. > :31:38.sides. It would be the Nazis that would set up to hone their
:31:39. > :31:40.aggressive instincts. I have many Jewish friends, obviously, they are
:31:41. > :31:46.quite shocked I should have a German Shepherd. They were very vicious in
:31:47. > :31:51.the camps. Indeed. That is the appalling story of how this glorious
:31:52. > :31:53.breed was exploited by the Nazi party. Training dogs to be
:31:54. > :32:01.aggressive, to be, in effect, killers. The Nazis as years is would
:32:02. > :32:06.be difficult to shake off and it was time for some much-needed
:32:07. > :32:11.rebranding. If they called the breed a German dog, that would have dam
:32:12. > :32:21.that from the outset. So, they called it an Alsatian. The kennel
:32:22. > :32:26.club played down its origins by renaming it Alsatian, after the
:32:27. > :32:30.French border region. It wasn't until 1977 that the club changed the
:32:31. > :32:36.name back to German Shepherd. Today's owners, like this group in
:32:37. > :32:41.Huddersfield, stay true to the vision of a working dog, trained to
:32:42. > :32:44.a high level. Today, the German Shepherd continues to assist police,
:32:45. > :32:49.military and rescue forces around the world, and these little cuties
:32:50. > :32:55.will be trained to do just that. But what about the rescue dog, Honey?
:32:56. > :33:01.She's never been trained. Can we teach this old dog new tricks?
:33:02. > :33:06.They are so smart, these dogs. I think they can learn just about
:33:07. > :33:11.anything. If I could encourage people not to be frightened of them,
:33:12. > :33:15.and if you've got one, to get it trained, I would be delighted. That
:33:16. > :33:19.would be delightful. They are really cute when they are
:33:20. > :33:30.puppies. Gaby Roslin is here with some of the stars of the show. Would
:33:31. > :33:34.you introduce them? The Springer, Tuffy, standing in front of Jerry
:33:35. > :33:43.Springer! This is Monty. He is a therapy dog. They both took part in
:33:44. > :33:54.Top Dogs. This is Sport Relief? Sport Relief's top dogs. Three
:33:55. > :33:58.weeks, the best fun, really happy, smiling dogs. And this is a big dog.
:33:59. > :34:04.This is a lot more than just sitting, tell us about... Yes, not
:34:05. > :34:08.just a dog sitting down. Not really exciting. It is like It's A
:34:09. > :34:14.Knockout, with dogs and their owners. There are two teams, led by
:34:15. > :34:17.a celebrity captain and their dog, a pet dog and their own. They took
:34:18. > :34:24.part, and those are the owners over there. Luckily very proud indeed.
:34:25. > :34:38.What type of games do they do? Anything from Reservoir Dogs,
:34:39. > :34:49.Pawmula One. Some great things happen. Something with coconuts?
:34:50. > :34:52.Ainslie and the dogs are so alike in their behaviour. They do say dogs
:34:53. > :35:29.are like their owner. You would have been amazing on this
:35:30. > :35:35.show! I would have loved it. Bring your dog, next series. Monty can do
:35:36. > :35:43.something impressive, this might remind you of your Piersbear moment.
:35:44. > :35:55.Let's see if we can do it live. But! I will hand him back to you. We got
:35:56. > :36:08.something very special for you. Come on over. This is a jerry can of
:36:09. > :36:16.beer. I'll put this down here. Let's hope this works. There we are, my
:36:17. > :36:27.dear. If you say fetch, hopefully something interesting should happen.
:36:28. > :36:36.Fetch! It's the accent. Fetch! Fetch, by golly!
:36:37. > :36:44.There we are. I'll hand it over. You are a real big dog lover, because
:36:45. > :36:51.you are hosting the show, but you haven't got one? It's because my
:36:52. > :37:07.husband is allergic, I had to choose between my dog or my husband. I
:37:08. > :37:14.could be your dog. This is hilarious. Jerry, comeback. It's
:37:15. > :37:23.getting a bit weird, Jerry. Getting a bit weird... Just a reminder, it
:37:24. > :37:31.all starts for real on Monday. For three weeks, 6:30 on BBC Two. In his
:37:32. > :37:35.series exploring British accidents, impressionist Alistair McGowan has
:37:36. > :37:42.chatted to everyone from... Brummies... Scousers... I can't
:37:43. > :37:48.remember Cockney! It's a jerry, get down, you are putting me off! Just
:37:49. > :37:52.when we thought there were no other voices left to analyse, he turned
:37:53. > :37:58.the microphone on himself. Evesham, a picturesque market town
:37:59. > :38:03.in Worcester, and the place where I grew up. I'm going to listen to my
:38:04. > :38:06.native accent, the accent of my childhood, and ask the big question,
:38:07. > :38:13.why don't I sound like I come from here? Professor Clive Upton is on
:38:14. > :38:17.hand for some expert accent insights. To hear what an Evesham
:38:18. > :38:21.boy like me should sound like, where better to go than a traditional
:38:22. > :38:28.market garden? Have you spent much time away from this area? No, I
:38:29. > :38:34.wouldn't want to. I haven't been on holiday for about eight years. What
:38:35. > :38:41.do you grow? Tomatoes, cucumbers, asparagus, everything. Asparagus? If
:38:42. > :38:47.you went to the dentist and he had to take something out of your mouth,
:38:48. > :38:58.what would it be? Tuth. What about enough you might eat at Christmas?
:38:59. > :39:07.Walnut. I always say truth, but I want to say tuth. It sounds wrong to
:39:08. > :39:16.me. This place has its own dialect. If my ears aren't deceiving me,
:39:17. > :39:24.these two workmen are bantering in perfect dialect. What are the couple
:39:25. > :39:31.like? He's been bevviting about in his garage. It means he's been
:39:32. > :39:38.looking for something, he's not sure what he's looking for, but is
:39:39. > :39:50.looking into everything. Then there was a yupa tack stuff. You're making
:39:51. > :39:52.it up! People are made to think they are speaking incorrectly because
:39:53. > :39:56.they are using these old forms, but they are the ones that have the
:39:57. > :40:04.pedigree, using forms you find in Shakespeare and Chaucer. Today, it's
:40:05. > :40:08.only really spoken by people like Will and John, fighting to keep it
:40:09. > :40:16.alive. But that wasn't the case when I was growing up. I can member at
:40:17. > :40:27.school, lot of children would use this. She isn't pronounced like
:40:28. > :40:31.that, is it? Shup! I haven't heard that since I was a kid. It's time to
:40:32. > :40:37.ask some people who knew the young Alistair McGowan very well why I
:40:38. > :40:45.didn't pick up the sounds. My uncle Mike and Patsy. How do I sound
:40:46. > :40:48.compared to now? Pretty much the same. I think it was your
:40:49. > :40:52.environment, your mum didn't speak with a Worcester and. You were sent
:40:53. > :40:58.to live with a schoolteacher who spoke with a refined accent, and I
:40:59. > :41:02.think your mum picked her accent. My father was brought up in India, he
:41:03. > :41:11.used to correct me if I make the stakes. He'd get very cross when I
:41:12. > :41:19.said wuz, if I said, I wuz, he would say was! For most children, the
:41:20. > :41:22.strongest influence would be the sounds of the playground. But my mum
:41:23. > :41:26.and dad clearly weren't having any of that. Your parents would have had
:41:27. > :41:29.to have worked to overcome the influences you were getting from
:41:30. > :41:33.school, so there was clearly a lot going on in your make-up to prevent
:41:34. > :41:40.you from sounding very much like Evesham. All down to my mum and dad?
:41:41. > :41:44.My dad's rod of iron. Despite your attempts to correct me. He must have
:41:45. > :41:47.gone through a nightmare when I went to visit, he was trying to correct
:41:48. > :41:51.you on these words and I was coming around and using them. He never
:41:52. > :41:55.corrected me! I love the sounds of this area, but I'm comfortable with
:41:56. > :41:59.the way I speak, I sound the way I do because of my mother and father.
:42:00. > :42:00.I could try and sound more like I am from Evesham, but I think I am
:42:01. > :42:13.getting a bit long in the tuth! Lovely to see lots of local
:42:14. > :42:18.characters there. Jerry, your show, it is not short of a few characters.
:42:19. > :42:23.It didn't actually start out the way that it ended up? I know it
:42:24. > :42:29.evolves... Yeah, it wasn't always stupid. Now it's stupid. The first
:42:30. > :42:34.three years, it was a normal show. At the time I started this, there
:42:35. > :42:37.were 20... Oh, look at that. Just outrageous. But you can't stop
:42:38. > :42:52.watching it. Oh! And we have to drive clean those
:42:53. > :42:57.carpets. Nobody cares! But it is shown in a staggering 40 countries,
:42:58. > :43:04.it has been going for ages. Does it still have the capacity to shock? Or
:43:05. > :43:08.have you hit the limit? You can't be a grown-up and today's world and be
:43:09. > :43:12.shocked by anything you see on our show. All you have to do is open a
:43:13. > :43:16.penny newspaper in the world, by the time you go to page three, I've got
:43:17. > :43:20.20 shows. There is nothing shocking on our show. What was shocking when
:43:21. > :43:23.it started was that normally we didn't see this stuff on television.
:43:24. > :43:28.But I can't pretend to tell you, I was so surprised. We may be shocked
:43:29. > :43:35.when it happens to someone we know. But it's crazy, walked down the
:43:36. > :43:39.streets of London. Have you ever have a man on all fours barking like
:43:40. > :43:45.a dog on your show? Cent you see, people are going to say, did you see
:43:46. > :43:49.on The One? They have a man... I apologise.
:43:50. > :43:57.At the age of 70, you are still going. You obviously can't stop?
:43:58. > :44:03.Well, I can't stand on two beat any more. What is it about the show that
:44:04. > :44:08.makes you want to continue? It's pure fun, that is the honest answer.
:44:09. > :44:10.I don't want to retire and just sit around. People obviously still like
:44:11. > :44:20.the show otherwise it wouldn't still be on. We are in our 23rd year. It's
:44:21. > :44:25.fun. I enjoy entertaining. It is 3am, I go downstairs because I want
:44:26. > :44:28.something to eat or a glass of milk. The light bulb goes on when I open
:44:29. > :44:34.the refrigerator and I do five minutes! So many episodes, can you
:44:35. > :44:40.remember a favourite episode, the funniest, the happiest? Well, the
:44:41. > :44:44.craziest, I never know what the show is about, I'm not allowed to know
:44:45. > :44:51.the subject matter, the craziest was the guy that married his horse. We
:44:52. > :45:00.did a follower show, because the horse left them. A man married his
:45:01. > :45:06.horse? Who lived in Missouri, about 50 miles of St Louis. We went to his
:45:07. > :45:14.home and the hallways were extrawide, because the horse lived
:45:15. > :45:19.indoors with him. I didn't know this. I said, here is Bob, a
:45:20. > :45:24.middle-aged man sitting in a chair. What's going on, Bob? I'm having
:45:25. > :45:30.problems with the neighbours. Why? They don't like my wife. Why? I
:45:31. > :45:38.don't know, she keeps to herself. All I have on my card are the names.
:45:39. > :45:45.OK, let's meet Pixel. Outcomes this horse. They don't tell me. So,
:45:46. > :45:51.Pixel. Here is what is really sick, as if the rest wasn't, every time I
:45:52. > :45:57.stood between Bob and Pixel, Pixel would nudge me out of the way, Pixel
:45:58. > :46:07.wanted the line of sight. Was Bob really bad looking? I did say, "Why
:46:08. > :46:17.the long face?" LAUGHTER I'll be here all week! What a mare! You can
:46:18. > :46:23.see Jerry's 16th series on the CBS Reality channel on Sky, Freesat or
:46:24. > :46:27.Virgin. Dan Snow is in tonight. Dan will reveal some of the amazing
:46:28. > :46:32.history that the recent floods have uncovered. Look at that. Don't want
:46:33. > :46:38.to miss that bombshell! He's discovered another devastating flood
:46:39. > :46:45.that happened 150 years ago. This one had nothing to do with the
:46:46. > :46:51.weather. Bradfield sits in the hills above Sheffield. This was the scene
:46:52. > :46:54.of total devastation, subject to a catastrophe that destroyed much of
:46:55. > :46:59.what lay in its path and killed over 200 people. It was the great
:47:00. > :47:07.Sheffield flood. The floodwaters came from a giant reservoir, created
:47:08. > :47:11.by Dale Dike Dam. The original dam was 300 metres that way. It was
:47:12. > :47:15.built by the Sheffield Waterworks Company. It was designed to give the
:47:16. > :47:18.many industrial mills down this valley a regular safe supply of
:47:19. > :47:26.water. It would have looked like the current dam, a 100-foot-high earth
:47:27. > :47:31.embankment with a water-tight wall made of clay. After five years of
:47:32. > :47:40.construction work, it was just about complete. Malcolm Nunn is a local
:47:41. > :47:46.historian. A problem with the dam was discovered in 1864. He walked
:47:47. > :47:50.below the summit o the reservoir to shelter from the stormy night. He
:47:51. > :47:57.found a small crack big enough to get a flief blade in. The -- Knife
:47:58. > :48:01.Plaid in. The company's Chief Engineer was summoned. Before
:48:02. > :48:07.midnight, it collapsed and a huge wall of water was unleashed on the
:48:08. > :48:17.valley below. It's terrifying to think of this massive embankment
:48:18. > :48:24.giving way. One eyewitness said it was as if the earth itself was being
:48:25. > :48:28.ripped asunder. The resulting devastation was shocking. The dam
:48:29. > :48:33.breach was so sudden that there was no way of warning the sleeping
:48:34. > :48:37.people in the valley below. In Sheffield City Archives, Peter
:48:38. > :48:44.Machan showed me a map that revealed the extent of the flood. All away
:48:45. > :48:47.down here into the built-up area of Sheffield, about eight miles
:48:48. > :48:50.altogether. The damage down here would have been not just the sheer
:48:51. > :48:54.amount of water, but the debris being washed down from up here?
:48:55. > :48:57.Absolutely. One of the sounds that the people heard was the pop, pop,
:48:58. > :49:02.pop of fully-grown trees snapping. You have to imagine something like
:49:03. > :49:05.an enormous steam hammer coming down and simply smashing everything in
:49:06. > :49:09.its path. It is the kind of thing you see in Hollywood films, not
:49:10. > :49:14.knowing it's happened before right here in Britain. Altogether, 2 0
:49:15. > :49:18.people were killed and thousands of buildings were damaged. The
:49:19. > :49:22.waterworks company was ordered to pay compensation for people's losses
:49:23. > :49:30.and the resulting tribunal considered some 7,000 claims. This
:49:31. > :49:36.is his shop. Sweets, four bottles of whisky... He was claiming for ?198.
:49:37. > :49:46.He got about two-thirds of it. What about loss of life? If we look over
:49:47. > :49:51.here, we've got a claim - he is claiming for the loss of his son,
:49:52. > :49:55.?50 for Eliza and ?50 for William. He got nothing. These children were
:49:56. > :49:59.evidently not of employable age. You could claim for a pair of shoes, but
:50:00. > :50:05.not for the loss of a child? You could. But why did this disaster
:50:06. > :50:10.happen? Modern-day dam inspector Dr Andy Hughes believes the watertight
:50:11. > :50:15.clay wall was fatally undermined by small natural springs which flowed
:50:16. > :50:20.underneath it. It is likely it was probably due to the springs causing
:50:21. > :50:23.internal erosion and the dam settled and on that night the storm would
:50:24. > :50:29.have forced water over the top of the dam and caused the dam to slip
:50:30. > :50:31.and then it released all the water. Local churchyards are dotted with
:50:32. > :50:36.the graves of people who lost their lives in the flood. But the dam was
:50:37. > :50:41.rebuilt and despite the disaster, Sheffield's industry continued to
:50:42. > :50:44.prosper and grow. Perhaps it is that spirit, the spirit of not looking
:50:45. > :50:48.back but getting on with things that's ensured that the great
:50:49. > :50:53.Sheffield flood remains one of Britain's greatest forgotten
:50:54. > :50:57.disasters. Well told, Dan. Thank you for that.
:50:58. > :51:02.The recent water damage that we have witnessed, that has uncovered some
:51:03. > :51:05.extraordinary things? All round the coast, like the way that water
:51:06. > :51:09.scoured through the valley in Sheffield. Our coastlines have been
:51:10. > :51:15.reshaped and we found some amazing stuff. Like? Go on? We could start
:51:16. > :51:18.with the amazing forest on the west coast of Wales. Look at this, it
:51:19. > :51:31.stretches - these tree stumps are - they look so recent, they are
:51:32. > :51:37.petrified wood. It ex-tense. Nobody knew that that was there before now?
:51:38. > :51:41.One or two of them used to get uncovered before in big storms. But
:51:42. > :51:47.they didn't realise the extent of this forest. It will be interesting
:51:48. > :51:50.to see if they are preserved? I suppose probably the best thing that
:51:51. > :51:56.could happen is another storm will cover them up again. We have to talk
:51:57. > :51:59.about that as well. Yes. You came from Britain and went to America.
:52:00. > :52:04.This came from America and is now in Britain. This was - this is an
:52:05. > :52:07.example of a bomb dropped by an American aircraft on a training
:52:08. > :52:13.facility here in the UK. The storms have meant that these training
:52:14. > :52:19.ranges are by the coast, unpopulated parts of the UK, Pembrokeshire and
:52:20. > :52:23.Poole harbour and North Devon, North Somerset. The tides have meant the
:52:24. > :52:27.coastline has been scoured away and there are lots of these on the
:52:28. > :52:32.beaches. It is pretty heavy. If you see one of these at home, you should
:52:33. > :52:42.not approach it. There's been a lot reported. Take it back! The blue
:52:43. > :52:48.means it is training. But don't go anywhere near it. Thanks, Dan. Now,
:52:49. > :52:51.it is time - the time has come for our One Show shadow dance as
:52:52. > :52:59.performed by - who are they called? Pilobolus. That's them. Featuring
:53:00. > :53:02.Phil Tufnell in a raincoat and carrying an umbrella. Phil, are you
:53:03. > :53:05.ready? Yes, this lot are definitely ready.
:53:06. > :53:25.Dim the lights. # Ooh, New York
:53:26. > :53:35.# If I can make it here # I can make it anywhere that's what
:53:36. > :53:38.they say # One hand in the air for the big
:53:39. > :53:45.city # No place in the world can compare
:53:46. > :53:53.# Put your lighters in the air # Everybody say yay, yay
:53:54. > :53:57.# New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of
:53:58. > :54:06.# There's nothing you can't do # Now you're in New York
:54:07. > :54:09.# These streets will make you feel brand-new
:54:10. > :54:39.# The lights will inspire you # Here in the New York. #
:54:40. > :54:49.# London's calling # Now war is declared
:54:50. > :54:56.# London calling # Come out of the cupboard

:56:54. > :57:05.Hope you enjoyed it, Jerry. See you later! Excellent. Those legs at the
:57:06. > :57:10.end, Phil! Brilliant. Pilobolus are performing at the Peacock Theatre at
:57:11. > :57:17.Sadler's Wells in London from March 11s. That was excellent. Very good.
:57:18. > :57:20.Earlier on, we asked you for your sporting try-hards. You did not
:57:21. > :57:27.disappoint. No. Do you want to start? You go. Newly-established
:57:28. > :57:32.team. They don't win many games but they always try their best. Well
:57:33. > :57:38.done. Ahh. Emma has sent in this photo of her friend, Anne, who
:57:39. > :57:49.worked tireless to start Ruch ford Rugby Club. -- Rochford Rugby Club.
:57:50. > :57:55.This is Merlin from Norfolk. He keeps trying to beat his dad at
:57:56. > :57:59.snooker. Come on, Dad! Dad's got a boo. Soon he will win. Kelly from
:58:00. > :58:05.Newport admits that she is quite rubbish at running. She came 427th
:58:06. > :58:13.in her last race. But she carries on because it's all for charity. Good
:58:14. > :58:16.on you, Kelly. One final applause for Elise Christie who had three
:58:17. > :58:23.attempts at the Winter Olympics but no sign of glory. APPLAUSE Thank you
:58:24. > :58:28.very much indeed to all of my guests tonight. The Jerry Springer Show is
:58:29. > :58:34.on CBS Reality. Good luck with Jeremy Paxman. You are on Newsnight
:58:35. > :58:36.tonight. He is a pussycat! Tomorrow, Darcey Bussell will be here. We
:58:37. > :58:40.leave you with a final thought from Jerry. What do you think we have
:58:41. > :58:45.learned from tonight's show? That you should never have me on the show
:58:46. > :58:48.with dogs! Well, we have learned about house prices, but remember it
:58:49. > :58:51.is not where we live, but hoe we live that is important. We have
:58:52. > :58:56.learnt that some of the most interesting lives start in Tube
:58:57. > :58:59.stations, that when life throws you into the shadows, the best thing to
:59:00. > :59:03.do is dance. Most of all, we have learnt that no matter how bad things
:59:04. > :59:08.seem, if you keep shooting for glory, eventually you will score a
:59:09. > :59:14.goal. Take care of yourself and each other. Yes! APPLAUSE
:59:15. > :59:28.CROWD: Jerry! Jerry! Hello, I'm Ellie Crisell with your
:59:29. > :59:31.90 second update. Fighting broke out in court as the two men who murdered
:59:32. > :59:33.soldier Lee Rigby were sentenced. Michael Adebolajo will never be
