26/02/2018 The One Show

Hello and welcome

to Monday's One Show.

With Matt Baker.

And Alex Jones.

With the Beast from the East causing

extreme weather across the UK,

we hope everyone is staying

safe and warm.

Tonight, we welcome home some people

who should be pretty

used to the cold by now.

Yesterday, the 2018 Winter Olympics

in Pyeongchang came to an end.

It was a Games to remember.

Dom Parsons, unbelievably, has his

medal! Come on, Great Britain!

Super-clean. Great Britain's Isabel

Atkin takes the Bronze.

Christie tries to make it on the

inside.

Christie crashes out!

Christie crashes out!

Lizzy Yarnold,

the first British athlete to

successfully defend her Olympic

title. And for Laura Deas, who

dreamt of medals, she wins Bronze!

Yes, yes, Billy Morgan with the

double and triple!

CHEERING.

CHEERING.

Having landed back in the UK

only a few hours ago,

let's welcome home some

of the athletes who made this

the most successful Winter Olympics

ever for Great Britain.

Two-time skeleton gold-medallist

and history-maker Lizzy Yarnold.

Also in skeleton, Olympic debutant

and bronze medallist Laura Deas.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

The first Brit ever to win a medal

in a skiing event, Izzy Atkin.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

And our flag-bearer for the closing

ceremony, snowboarder Billy Morgan.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Great to welcome, welcome!

And a huge congratulations. Thank

you for dropping in before even

going home!

Four of the five medallists here,

Dom Parsons has gone on holiday,

which is understandable. Would you

say it is colder back here than it

was in Pyeongchang?

I cannot believe

it was snowing so much when we

arrived. It was a nice welcome home!

It was so much colder. It feels like

-26, it says on my phone.

It is

ridiculous, isn't it?

We are ready

for it, we are Winter athletes.

The

cold and the different time zones,

it would be 4am now in Pyeongchang?

Don't mention that!

We all fall

asleep here. All right over their

eyes to mark yes, I am flagging a

bit.

You are holding a flag a couple of

ideas ago, how do you some that up,

bringing the most successful Games

ever to close?

It was amazing, I could not believe

I was asked to do it. It was an

honour close it.

Did you know in advance you would be

doing it?

No, I was told in the

morning. I woke up and they said,

you can do it if you want! Wood

glued to what you did come up

looking forward having a good chat

with you all tonight.

And this is

your chance to ask them anything you

want to know.

And we know that many

have been glued to the Olympics

coverage over the last fortnight so

what questions have you been dying

to ask this lot here? Or what

message would you like to give them?

Let's know why getting in touch at

the usual address.

The 17th of February 2018 is now

known as 'Super Saturday',

marking the day Lizzy, Laura

and Izzy all won medals for Team GB.

Here are some of the people

who helped them to glory.

We need the usual good start, can

she get under 5.1 to give her a

cracking shot at this?

I saw the potential for Laura, like

every athlete, they come in because

they have something unique about

them and Laura was no exception. She

came from a completely different

athlete population to any other on

the programme, from horse riding and

a question which has its own

transfer ability to skeleton. And on

the track, she was strong with a

strong bearing in terms of the scope

for future champions.

Having seen her over the last 8-10

years grow as an individual within

the sport and as an athlete, gaining

confidence in setting her own part

of why she needs to go, and you can

see she is someone who cares a lot

about her performance. The team

around her and making sure she gives

back to everyone who supports her.

Biggest run of her life.

Starts now.

When Isabel was younger,

we used to go over and babysit. She

has always been keen to do it and

interested. Wanting to do the next

thing that she could.

We took her to

a competition when she was about

ten, 11, and she got a podium. We

thought, she is in with a shout

here.

We were on a high when we realised

she had won the medal, it was just

amazing seeing her so pleased we had

gone to support her.

The youngest member of Team GB has a

Bronze medal for her efforts.

Congratulations, Isabel Atkin, her

Olympic debut.

We are just so proud of her, she has

worked incredibly hard.

The amount

of training she has put in and her

determination to do it, you know, we

have got to respect her for that.

My name is Mervyn and Lizzy kindly

named her slight Mervyn.

She was doing temp work at the firm

I was working at at the time which

was 2010. And that was when she was

beginning the skeleton and was just

leaving a bit extra out. I talked to

her for a while about the sport

generally and her ambitions and her

determination came out very

strongly. And I gave her and a bloke

with the money she needed for the

bit of equipment and it worked from

there. -- I gave her an envelope

with the money. As I helped Lizzy in

her early years, she kindly put

Mervyn on her slide. And I was very

proud to have that.

This could be at least silver for

Lizzy Yarnold, she goes to the

front!

It shows you the character again,

she is very rounded and she thinks

of other people. Always wanting to

give back. She was giving back to me

in one way and she could do it when

she gives back to a lot of schools

with a lot of work and motivating

the next generation.

Lizzy Yarnold! Applause.

A nice surprise, Laura. You nearly

shed a tear.

Nearly got me going.

Having just got back to the UK, it

is really nice to see some messages

from friends and family and from the

British public, it has been amazing.

And a surprisingly relatives, Izzy.

They told me they had done

something, I did not realise to be

on TV here, it was cute!

We don't want you to feel left out,

Billy, we do have a message for you

from your girlfriend Emma Sammy.

It is Sammy, I am so proud of you, I

can't believe you are an Olympic

medallist. We are watching you back

in Southampton, everybody is so over

the moon and we can't wait to have

you back home.

We were just touching on this as we

went through that, Lizzy. There are

so many volunteers and people so

generous. So many members of the

team just to get their to the start

line, and I guess this is now your

opportunity to say thank you and the

fact that you have done it and to do

your very best.

Yes, it makes me quite emotional to

think of all The National Lottery

players, people who have bought

Lottery tickets, they probably

didn't realise they were helping me

to train three times a day for eight

years I have been working up to this

when the Olympics. I just could not

do it. I am on the track by myself

but I certainly do not do it by

myself.

Where do you do the majority of your

training, you and Laura?

We are based at the University of

Bath which has a great track

facility but we do not have an ice

track in the UK. All we do in the

summit is just endless gym sessions

and running sessions.

I feel like we

spend our entire life in the gym and

we definitely see each other more

than our own family and friends. We

have been away since the end of

September and only home for a couple

of weeks.

We have no ice track and a gold and

Bronze Medallist.

Do you go abroad and try it on ice

before the event?

When it is cold enough to make ice

on the concrete track, they spray it

with water and then we go abroad. It

really is six runs of training, six

minutes practice before a

competition, and that is all you

have. That is against the home

advantage of an athlete who might

have had 100 runs that season. We

learn quickly and we work together.

Let's look at the run you did, the

winning run. We are at home watching

the time going green and red and we

can see when you go up and down, but

going down the run, how were you of

how good the run is going?

If I am hitting the walls,

definitely not! On the last run, I

was trying to navigate around this

strait between corner nine and 12

and I tapped the wall and we chatted

with my coach, if I take the hit,

stay aerodynamic and be positive it

will be a good run. It is impossible

to have a perfect run in the

skeleton, you just try to make it as

good as possible. As I came through

the finish line, it did not feel

quick. Usually, you feel the air

passing your shoulders and you can

tell it is a quick run, I was

worried it was not good enough.

You are not aware? Until you see the

number. We were both waiting for

Janine in first position, so that

was extremely stressful!

The most emotional thing in my life!

Unbelievable you were both on the

podium at the same time, best

friends as well. We have a great

picture of you both celebrating

afterwards. One of the best pictures

I have seen in a long time. Do you

think it helped each other was

competing? You said, Lizzy, you are

not get there without Laura, do you

feel the same?

Absolutely, we came in at the same

time, clueless 19, 20-year-olds. We

have grown up together doing the

sport. We have not always been on

the same circuit or physically in

the same place, at the same time,

but we have both gone through the

highs and lows of the sport. We both

a good understanding of how great it

feels when it goes well and how

rubbish it can feel when you don't

do well. We keep each other going.

It is so important when you are away

for months at a time, it is the same

for you guys commit you are

competitors on the track and friends

away from the track and you support

each other.

You are both fine examples of sheer

determination and you were given an

opportunity. You will almost pick to

have a go at best and you have an

Olympic medal.

I remember sitting in an early

meeting after being selected and

given a presentation about where

this was going and being told, we

think at least one person in this

room will in an Olympic medal in the

next two cycles and here we are!

Amazing! It is incredible and Billy,

we will get to you in a moment, and

Izzy.

We will indeed.

We will indeed. Temperatures have

plummeted with some areas set to get

to minus 15.

That is nothing to this lot! You can

be sure the critters will be out

tonight.

Joe has been out with a couple of

Night Riders fighting the tide of

illegal fly-tipping.

9pm and the residents of Harrow

settle in for the night and the

Night Riders, Martin and his partner

Clive, are on a shadowy flight into

the messy world of illegally dumped

waste. Together, they fight those

who operate above the law.

It is a 24 hour job clearing up the

18 tonnes of waste dumps daily on

this borough's Street and I am

joining Martin and Clive to see the

scale of the problem myself.

Illegal fly-tipping is a huge

problem around the country. Last

year, there were more than 1 million

cases in England, arise for the

fourth year running.

How long have you been doing this?

15 years. I have been doing it a

year. A year?

Yes. OK, I got the

impression you were an old hand,

jutting out the route maps.

Tell me about tonight, do you

expect?

Anything from a mattress to a

fridge, black bags. Hopefully no

hazardous waste. And if we get black

bags, stuff like that, we will look

through the bags to see if there is

evidence. If we find any evidence, I

will pass that to my team to

investigate in the morning.

Not long into the eight-hour shift

and the team responds to reports

from Wizard and is that waste on

doors and furniture has been dumped

in an alleyway. Sometimes the

problem is so bad there is rubbish

within rubbish.

within rubbish. How bad is at the

moment?

We average around 17 - 18

bags. We aim to clear them within

24-hour is.

The round the hours

operation is welcomed by residents

like Leslie.

How important is it? In

my opinion, very because it starts

with glittering and then you get

graffiti. After graffiti, you get

fires and then it leads to more

anti-social behaviours.

As they work

into the night, Martin says he

thinks part of the reason they are

busier than ever is because of a

rise in the number of houses of

multiple occupancy, or H M oh.

We've

had 40 people in one house.

Obviously, like a normal,

three-bedroom house. We have enough

bins for a normal family, not for 40

people, so you also accumulate a lot

more rubbish.

The crew aren't just

picking up rubbish. It is now 4am

and they have spotted a lone bag of

waste. They begin searching it to

find clues as to who may have dumped

it. While locals are topped up in

bed, Martin is searching for

letters, bank statement or packaging

that will give them an address to

work from. And he has hit the

jackpot.

I've actually found an

address of where it has come from so

I will have to leave this back here.

I wonder how frustrating the Night

Riders find the continual fight

against fly-tippers. There is an

argument that says if you keep

clearing them up, then they will

just keep coming. If someone deals

with it and takes it away. But

actually you can't win if you don't

either, so you have to keep going.

Yes, we just have to keep plodding

on. And just keep clearing it and

keeping the residents happy.

It's

5am, and back at the depot, the

Knight bus McCall is labour. It

really is shocking, the amount of

waste we have picked up from Sophos,

mattresses, beds, lots of black bags

and domestic waste, a couple of

fridges. All of this just dumped on

the street. Martin and Clive's shift

comes to an end, and as the sun

rises, it is time for the Council's

investigations team to take over.

Environmental compliance officer

Andreas Holden is the man in charge

of bringing the fly-tippers to

justice through fines and

prosecutions.

I will be notified by

the crew is downstairs of what we

have found and the evidence.

And six

hours after the Night Riders

discovered the bag of rubbish by a

bus stop, Andreas has suspect.

It is

a load of correspondence, all

addressed to the same address. Why

bring the area down? You live here.

And she does to slip down the road.

Essentially, we will offer them the

chance to pay the clear up cost or

attend an interview under caution to

tell us how the waste came to be

here.

So Andreas's message to

fly-tippers...

I will get you,

eventually. We are hunting. We don't

get you all the time and we want to

get you every time, but we will get

you.

Big thanks to everybody who

took part in that film.

We guess that you were celebrating.

So in what state did you leave the

village?

I think we were all right.

We had to come back and do the media

so we had to be sharp.

We went

straight to the closing ceremony as

well.

And then we then had to kind

of stay awake because we were going

on to the airport so it was a

situation where we couldn't go to

bed. We had to stay awake.

I don't

know how they -- I don't think they

know how they left it.

Izzy, you're also the youngest

member of Team GB and the first ever

Brit to win a skiing medal.

You have also had the chance to try

out for team USA, but at the age of

15, you decided to try out for Team

GB. How did you come to that

conclusion, because you actually

beat the US skiers in the final?

I

think it was first female skier to

win a medal because there is a bit

of a great area.

Right.

I just knew

that I had dual nationality and I

was talking to my father at the time

and we went over to meet him and he

knew that I was not merely as

outspoken as some of the girls on

the US team, so he thought maybe a

smaller team come a close, smaller

team would suit me, and obviously it

has. I think the support has been

amazing.

So it is incredible. Well,

it's worked well for us. And on

Saturday, you won bronze, bringing

our tally to five medals. Now, this

was as big a surprise to you as

anybody else, really, wasn't it?

Yes, I definitely didn't go into the

game is expecting a medal.

And as we

were just talking about there, that

final trick, you had only landed it

once before the Olympics?

Yeah, we

were training out on English year

and it was one of the last chances I

would have to try it. -- on a

glacier. And if I got two ticks

down, I would have been really happy

and they were enough to get me a

medal, so that is awesome.

So how do

you overcome the fear, then? Because

you don't know how it's going to go.

We were talking earlier on, in the

Summer Olympics, no one is scared of

running an long jump, are you guys?

It is really scary, dangerous stuff.

Combined with the competitiveness

and all of that stress, but it is

also...

The fear factor.

It is

proper, dangerous stuff.

I love the

fact that when you talk to athletes

who do other sports, everyone thinks

that they are the only sane ones and

that everyone else is mad. It

doesn't matter who you talk to.

Everyone thinks that they have made

the right decision and everyone else

is crazy. But to see all these guys

doing their thing, it was cool.

And

to think of the respect you all have

for each other. I know snowboarding

in particular is one where you just

stand back and you respect some

people that are pushing themselves

to these limits.

Yes, it is pretty

wild. We would say that we can't let

the risks. We try and use that to

push the few to the side, but it

does have consequences if we get it

wrong. But that is what we started

doing the sport for, and we love it.

That is why we do it.

And as the

oldest finalist in that final, I

guess you thought it is all or

nothing?

It just hurts more from

you. I keep getting reminded of my

age.

You're only 29. You're all

right, honestly.

Keeps happening.

Between skiing, sledding,

skating and skeleton-ing,

the Winter Olympics showed

there are many ways

of getting from A to B.

Emma Massingale's

just found another.

Wait till you see what she can do

with board on wheels and

a couple of ponies.

I'm Emma Massingale. I have good

horses all over the UK, but now I

have decided to try something

different. Come on. Let's go! I'm

taking my two ponies back to their

ancestral home in the Outer

Hebrides. And for the next 20 days,

my plan is to travel nearly 200

miles from the south to the tip of

Lewis and Harris in the north. We

are trying something new. These

ponies are too small for me to

write, so to add excitement to the

journey, had adopted a mountain

board for them to pull me along. It

is going to have a quick practice on

this beautiful beach. I want to make

sure the ponies will work together

and I can keep my balance on this

board. Will be camping as we go,

meeting some of the people that work

you and make the somewhat islands

are home. Stunning as is my little

dog, Inca, who will be travelling in

a special backpack. Ready to go?

Right, then, boys. Let's go. We are

heading to Barra over one of the

many causeways built to connect the

various islands, and my first up is

to get something for dinner tonight.

Angus John Morrison is one of the

island's top cockle pickers, and

he's taking me to one of his

favourite spots, which also serves

another purpose for the island. I

don't think I have search for

cockles anywhere as beautiful as

this before.

On a nice day, it is

beautiful.

Finding cockles is a

simple process of breaking the sand

to locate the big ones, and as we

start, it's not long before the

beach's other role becomes apparent.

That's crazy. This beautiful stretch

of sand was first licensed as a

runway in 1936, and is the only

beating the world to have scheduled

flights. The cockle picking is safe,

as long as we remain outside of the

marked runway areas. How often would

you come down here?

I'm coming down

here every day to get cockles for

the hotels in the summer. They take

maybe 30-40 kilos per week.

In the

summer months, the cockles can earn

and is £3 per kilo, but they have to

be the right size.

Not any smaller

than that.

They are so abundant on

the beach, that it is not long

before we have enough for both

Angus's hotels and my supper. They

are so tasty. After a good night's

rest, we are off again. Our next

stop is the island where my ponies

breed originates from. I will get to

see some of these ponies running

freely, but to get there we have to

take the ferry and unfortunately it

is a bit of a rough ride. Oh, my

goodness!

goodness! A sunny day in the

Hebrides. Luckily, the horses are

safely housed below, and after a

topic crossing, we eventually make

it. This is one of the smallest

inhabited islands in the UK, with

around 150 people living here. With

no supermarkets, supplies about from

the only shot on the island, run by

Katrina Hawker. And in our case,

that is dog biscuits and some food

for the ponies.

Hello.

Intel.

You're

having a wonderful time, aren't you?

Normally, the wild ponies run free

here. But during the summer, they

are sent to the hills, as they can

become a bit of a nuisance.

They are

sent away because otherwise they

become a bit of a pest because they

are still came. They would be in the

garden and people would start

feeding them and then you can't get

rid of them.

So I head to the hills,

and as -- it's not long before I see

my first wild pony. They are so

happy up there. There's something

truly special about seeing a native

pony in its natural habitat. This

breed came close to extinction in

the 1970s as the need for working

ponies diminished. But on my next

up, I find out where they are once

again a central part of island life.

Nice way to travel in general. We

have loads of questions from the

viewers. OK, this is quickfire. It

out of the same question. Lizzy, we

will start with you. Do any of you

were lucky pants?

Yeah.

No, I try

not to have any superstitions.

I

don't. I am pretty superstitious but

I don't have special pants.

Its

thermal, isn't it? Fran, age 13,

would like to know who was your

inspiration growing up?

Denise

Lewis.

Lucinda Green.

Mine was

probably a stuntman.

Have we got

time for the music?

What music do

you listen to?

Grime.

Hip-hop rap.

I

don't listen to anything. I just

chat with my mates.

We will be

keeping an eye on the very cold

weather this week and we would like

your help because we want to create

a people's visual weather report.

Yes, show us how it is affecting

you. Recorded ten second video. Hold

your phone like this, landscape, to

show as wherever you are tonight or

tomorrow.

It could be on your way to

work or school or even with your

pets. If you have a thermometer

handed, filmed the Tebbit as well.

-- temperature as well.

Been great to have Lizzy, Izzy,

Laura and Billy with us.

Let's have one more

big round of applause

for our Winter Olympians!

Tomorrow, we'll be back with Sharon

Horgan.

Before we go, as a tribute to Emma

Chambers, we are going to finish our

show in Diddley tonight and there is

a whole episode for YouTube enjoy it

later on tonight.

Knock- knock.

Who's there?

Ronnie.

Ronnie who?

Ronnie Barker. It would be funny if

Ronnie Barker came to your door.

Yes. I'm not quite sure you

understand how these jokes work.

Knock knock.

Who's there?

Belief.

Believe.
