:00:22. > :00:26.Hello and welcome to The One Show with Alex Jones. And Matt Baker.
:00:26. > :00:30.Tonight's guest is a pearly king of the soaps. But how should we
:00:30. > :00:34.summarise his character? What about a landlord who pulls pints and
:00:34. > :00:39.barmaids, falls in love, breaks up, get back together, proposes, heads
:00:39. > :00:44.off to Spain, ends up in prison, splits up, gets back together,
:00:44. > :00:50.heads back east. And the Kat is away, so will he be tempted to
:00:50. > :00:56.play? It is Alfie Moon himself, Shane Richie. Good to have a break
:00:56. > :01:01.from the show. Me and my family just got back from Florida. We are
:01:02. > :01:10.all a bit jet lag. We went to Universal and did the Harry Potter
:01:10. > :01:14.ride. It is fantastic. I nearly wet myself. With fear? Fear. I was
:01:14. > :01:19.sitting there with my five-year-old. He was screaming and my life -- my
:01:19. > :01:25.wife was loving it. I didn't know what to expect. Then these dragons
:01:25. > :01:31.start appearing. Really frightening. Good job you have been on holiday,
:01:31. > :01:37.because it is a busy summer for you on BBC One. What role of the square
:01:37. > :01:43.be playing? The EastEnders are getting very much involved. We have
:01:43. > :01:48.a live episode around the time of the Olympics. That will be on a
:01:48. > :01:51.Monday night. We record 25 minutes and then go live for five minutes
:01:51. > :01:56.where the character who plays Billy Mitchell will be running around the
:01:57. > :02:02.square with the actual torture. you allowed to say that? It is too
:02:02. > :02:10.late now. There goes my job. -- he will be running with the Olympic
:02:10. > :02:14.torch. We keep winding Perry up about it. What if he trips up? So
:02:14. > :02:18.we are heavily involved with the Olympics and the Queen's Jubilee.
:02:18. > :02:21.We will be finding out all about your scandalous story lines in a
:02:21. > :02:27.bit and finding out whether it is the end of the road for Alfie and
:02:27. > :02:31.Kat. Say it is not so! I can't tell you. We all know about the ins and
:02:31. > :02:34.outs of what happens behind closed doors in the square, but I wonder
:02:34. > :02:38.if Dave Pearson's neighbours realised what was going on behind
:02:38. > :02:44.his. Your average terraced house in
:02:44. > :02:49.Lancashire would normally set you back about �100,000. But a legacy
:02:49. > :02:58.left in this house behind me, when its owner Dave Pearson died, saw
:02:58. > :03:02.its value skyrocket. When Dave's close friends opened the door to
:03:02. > :03:08.his art studio, they found an incredible 50 years' worth of art
:03:08. > :03:12.were crammed inside. You can't get far enough away from this to give a
:03:13. > :03:19.real impression of the quantity of stuff. For one of them, Bob, the
:03:19. > :03:28.huge challenge they faced was clear. We are trying to create some order
:03:28. > :03:32.out of his work and listing it. It is just the beginning of a process.
:03:32. > :03:36.He hardly sold any work. He was largely unappreciated. And yet he
:03:37. > :03:41.was an exceptional man. With the house fallen apart and no
:03:41. > :03:47.instructions left by Dave, the future of some 50,000 artworks hung
:03:47. > :03:51.in the balance. This is very different from four years ago.
:03:51. > :03:58.is amazing what has happened in the meantime. For a start, you can see
:03:58. > :04:01.the pictures. And you can walk through. This is what it is like
:04:01. > :04:07.after you did the work. You must have put an incredible amount of
:04:07. > :04:13.effort in. It has been an -- a full-time job for Bob and I. Some
:04:13. > :04:18.of the work was damaged? The ones that were damaged were downstairs
:04:18. > :04:22.next to a wall that had dry rot, so we had to throw them away in skips.
:04:22. > :04:30.But we did photograph them first so that we have a record. What kind of
:04:30. > :04:35.man was Dave? He was very open and generous. And usually quite easy-
:04:35. > :04:41.going, but there was an intensity behind it. If he was such a great
:04:41. > :04:46.artist, why isn't he better-known? He was not interested in champagne
:04:46. > :04:52.receptions or being famous. He just wanted to get on with the work. It
:04:52. > :04:57.was the love of his life. Dave considered his most significant
:04:57. > :05:02.body of work the Byzantium series. It was also left gathering dust in
:05:02. > :05:07.the house when he died. Not any more, because with the first
:05:07. > :05:12.exhibition since his death, the Dave Pearson Art Trust hopes to
:05:12. > :05:19.change that. It is here at the Bermondsey Project Arts face. What
:05:19. > :05:24.are we seeing here? This is something incredibly detailed.
:05:24. > :05:29.Everywhere you look, there is a different small mark. When you step
:05:29. > :05:36.back from the picture, all those marks blend together to give a much
:05:36. > :05:40.denser colour. Is he up their with the Damien Hirsts and the Francis
:05:40. > :05:47.Bacons, the great modern British artists? Are I think he is better.
:05:47. > :05:54.Better? I think he will be regarded as William Blake is regarded now.
:05:54. > :05:57.That is as an extraordinary, eccentric artist who had an
:05:57. > :06:02.enormously detailed imaginative world. With these paintings be
:06:02. > :06:05.worth money on the market? May be these huge pictures would make
:06:05. > :06:10.�100,000, something like that. I would not be surprised to see them
:06:10. > :06:15.making millions. The price tag is just one measure of an artist's
:06:15. > :06:20.work. Another is the impact it has on people who see it. From what I
:06:20. > :06:27.know about Dave Pearson, I am guessing the -- that is the one
:06:28. > :06:31.that would matter to him. Dave's work can be seen at the
:06:31. > :06:38.Bermondsey Art Space in London until May, before it returns home
:06:38. > :06:42.to Lancashire. Did you like that? think so. I would love to set our
:06:42. > :06:50.was an art collector, but I have pictures of Minnie Mouse by a
:06:50. > :06:59.three-year-old around my house. What would they find in your house?
:06:59. > :07:06.I get embarrassed to say. Just a load of Planet Of the apes.
:07:06. > :07:13.they would find soap awards. There are a few. It is this weekend, the
:07:13. > :07:16.soap awards. You are up for Best actor. Best had, best actor and
:07:16. > :07:26.nice fingernails. What would it mean to you to win for a third
:07:26. > :07:32.time? Just been nominated, it is a great event and very popular. Just
:07:32. > :07:37.being nominated his lovely. It can be nerve-racking because the
:07:38. > :07:42.expectations are great. It is all about storylines as well. Sometimes
:07:42. > :07:45.it is a popularity contest. Do people buy into the storyline of
:07:45. > :07:49.the character you are doing? To call somebody a better actor than
:07:49. > :07:55.somebody else, I am a bit uncomfortable with. It is more
:07:55. > :07:59.about the storyline. How does what you are doing with EastEnders at
:07:59. > :08:05.the moment it in? You have had an incredible career. Are you enjoying
:08:05. > :08:10.the serious acting side more than other stuff? I love it. I look
:08:10. > :08:15.forward to go in to work. I had a long break from the show, five
:08:15. > :08:20.years. I did game shows and some other dramas and some theatre. But
:08:20. > :08:24.I have come back with a different attitude. I have a young family. So
:08:24. > :08:28.I do not take it home with me and I do not take it as seriously. When I
:08:28. > :08:34.was first in the show, the whole Alfie Boe thing blow up. It was
:08:34. > :08:39.incredible. But after a while, you step out and see it for what it is.
:08:39. > :08:44.I am a jobbing actor. That is how I pay the bills. But your character
:08:44. > :08:51.is immensely popular. But there is only one girl for Alfie, she is
:08:51. > :08:58.always there, Kat. Looking at this, we have an inkling that we know
:08:58. > :09:08.what is going to happen. How can he see it and you can't? I don't
:09:08. > :09:19.
:09:19. > :09:24.understand. I love you. I love you, Alfie Moon. Do you get it now?
:09:24. > :09:28.a pleasure, working with Wheater as well. Hang on a minute. Alfie and
:09:28. > :09:33.Roxy does not have the same ring to it as Kat and Alfie. Let's get that
:09:33. > :09:38.straight. It is interesting about some of the publications which are
:09:38. > :09:42.interested in soaps, how they have said, Alfie will go off with Roxy.
:09:43. > :09:47.But as soon as he does that, he loses the high moral ground. I had
:09:47. > :09:52.a meeting today about future storylines, and they are going to
:09:52. > :09:55.be incredible, because Jessie Wallace is back at work. I can only
:09:55. > :10:00.say that the stuff which happened last year is nothing compared to
:10:01. > :10:05.what will happen over the next 12 months. It will be incredible. Will
:10:05. > :10:12.there be an incredible Christmas special? Cap versus Roxy? Who says
:10:12. > :10:16.it my be Roxy? My wife will be watching this
:10:16. > :10:23.thinking, tell me more! But we can't keep going. You can see Shane
:10:23. > :10:26.in EastEnders and about 90 minutes. Now, when Maggie Aderin-Pocock was
:10:26. > :10:31.a little girl, she dreamed of becoming an astronaut. Luckily, she
:10:31. > :10:36.grew up to be one of Britain's top space scientists. Her more recent
:10:36. > :10:41.additions include putting on a hard hat and helping to blow up old
:10:41. > :10:45.buildings. Dreams come true on The One Show.
:10:45. > :10:54.This is the Oughtibridge paper mill in Sheffield. This chimney is a
:10:54. > :10:58.local landmark. It can be seen for miles around. Built in the 1960s,
:10:58. > :11:08.it was part of a power station and was crucial for the production of
:11:08. > :11:08.
:11:08. > :11:18.paper here. Perhaps I should have mentioned - the chimney had come to
:11:18. > :11:20.
:11:20. > :11:25.the end of its life, and today was There are many ways to bring down
:11:25. > :11:34.structures. You can blow them up so that they fall in on themselves. Or
:11:34. > :11:40.they can be taken apart bit by bit. Sometimes, you just have to pull
:11:40. > :11:46.them down. What we saw here was a textbook example of what is called
:11:46. > :11:50.the felling method. It is the method you use when the direction
:11:50. > :11:53.of fall is the most important factor. This chimney had a river on
:11:54. > :11:59.one side and an electricity sub- station on the other, leaving
:11:59. > :12:03.little room for error. So how do you get a 16 metre chimney to fall
:12:03. > :12:08.exactly where you want? The engineers started work a week
:12:08. > :12:14.before the demolition. They removed three sections of the base. This is
:12:14. > :12:18.key to the felling method. To see why this works, we have recruited
:12:18. > :12:22.the help of engineers at the University of Sheffield. We built
:12:22. > :12:28.our own Mini chimney. We are going to simulate blowing out the base of
:12:28. > :12:33.the tower. OK, guys, poll. Not quite the direction will control we
:12:33. > :12:40.want. We need to only remove the base from the side we want it to
:12:40. > :12:48.fall, a bit like phoning a tree. The guys have just taken out cans
:12:48. > :12:58.here. This is called pre- weakening. Now we will take out the front to
:12:58. > :13:03.
:13:03. > :13:12.Wow, that was brilliant. It falls in the direction of where a base
:13:12. > :13:15.support has been removed. Using the same principle, the engineers on
:13:16. > :13:19.site have pre- weakened the chimney by measuring the weight and
:13:19. > :13:24.circumference. They have calculated that they can remove a third of the
:13:24. > :13:29.base. This pre- weakening means they can use the minimum amount of
:13:29. > :13:34.explosives, just eight kilograms, to bring down this 1000 tonne
:13:34. > :13:40.chimney. Now preparations are complete. Locals have come to see
:13:40. > :13:50.the chimney's demolition. It is the end of an era. The time has come.
:13:50. > :13:52.
:13:52. > :14:02.think it will be missed. It is an icon. Not long to go. Three, two,
:14:02. > :14:17.
:14:17. > :14:21.That was impressive. There was an initial burst of energy when they
:14:21. > :14:26.got the explosive going. But the actual fall in was quite graceful.
:14:26. > :14:32.I would like to see that again! Thanks to our multiple cameras, we
:14:32. > :14:35.can see how the chimney naturally broke up on the way down. If it had
:14:35. > :14:39.come down in one piece, it could have caused huge vibrations which
:14:39. > :14:47.might have disrupted the milk's electricity supply. I thought it
:14:47. > :14:52.was going to thump, but it sort of curls around. Yes. Metal would
:14:52. > :14:59.flood, but it is breaking up as it comes down. We are pleased. This
:14:59. > :15:09.demolition took just a few seconds. But they were a very well thought
:15:09. > :15:12.
:15:12. > :15:16.Remarkable. Sue see these towers and they are gone in seconds.
:15:17. > :15:21.was graceful. There was a pause and it tumbled down. It would be great
:15:21. > :15:26.if you could do it like Jenga. Everyone stands around and you pull
:15:26. > :15:30.a brick out. Funny you say that, we might have something for you in a
:15:30. > :15:36.while! Maggie, you have the best job in in the world. You will be
:15:37. > :15:42.blowing up a number of buildings. In the next few months. I don't
:15:42. > :15:46.know what's coming up. Some of the demlations are scheduled quite late.
:15:46. > :15:56.There will be something with a metal structure. I think there's a
:15:56. > :15:57.
:15:57. > :16:02.tower block and a bridge. They have my number. It is reMacable the
:16:02. > :16:05.cloud cover can affect this? wouldn't think the weather would
:16:05. > :16:09.affect a demolition. The cloud can act as a cap over the demolition
:16:09. > :16:14.and help focus the energy. One of the things with demolitions on you
:16:15. > :16:19.don't want the energy going outsideways. It could blow out
:16:19. > :16:23.windows on other buildings. If you have heavy cloud cover it will
:16:23. > :16:27.direct the downforce and affect other things. Often, you want a
:16:27. > :16:32.clear day. Thankfully, there's no cloud cover in the studio. Shane,
:16:32. > :16:38.we have a real treat for you. You'll need these! My wife's going
:16:38. > :16:42.to go mental. You're going to mess my hair up! You're going to topple
:16:42. > :16:48.over that tower of tins but they have to land on the target. There
:16:48. > :16:53.must be some skill involved. What has to land on the target? We've
:16:54. > :17:01.cleared the studio. Put a nice cover on our TV. We're get egg
:17:01. > :17:10.behind the sofa! Everyone's cleared out. I'm on me own! Pull it as hard
:17:10. > :17:17.as you can. Maggie's giving you the countdown. Three, two, one...
:17:17. > :17:25.at that. Absolute classic. Shane, come around here and have a look at
:17:25. > :17:32.this slo-mo. There's the pole. As graceful as you can, it happens.
:17:32. > :17:41.Square on. That's an absolute classic. Beans for tea, everyone.
:17:41. > :17:48.You look like the YMCA. When Phil Tufnell called to us say he'd
:17:48. > :17:52.filled med a cow -- filmed a cow standing on the top of a cafe we
:17:52. > :17:58.thought it was another tale. It's true. You can't miss it, they said.
:17:58. > :18:07.They said when you do see it, I'd probably do a double take. It is on
:18:07. > :18:13.the A90 between Perth and Dundee. What could it be? Blimey, that's
:18:13. > :18:18.something you don't see every day. A cow on a roof. This is the Horn
:18:18. > :18:24.mill m bar. Even without a plastic cow on the roof, it is a remarkable
:18:24. > :18:29.building. It is a classic 1960s milk bar. Banana milkshake, please.
:18:29. > :18:36.I can imagine this, Jerry and the Pacemakers on the Duke box. Full of
:18:36. > :18:45.Mods, scooters in the car park. Kenny is the owner. Why a cow on
:18:45. > :18:49.the roof? My background's agricultural my mum and dad started
:18:49. > :18:58.a Malik bar 50 years ago. We used the cow as an icon. It's done the
:18:58. > :19:03.job. What do the Moor iss think of it? Some people love it. The patron
:19:03. > :19:07.of the A90. People come to take pictures of cow. We took it doing a
:19:07. > :19:13.couple of months ago. We didn't realise people would miss it. We
:19:13. > :19:16.took it down, repainted it, took it down for a refurb. It is now back
:19:16. > :19:21.in its position again and everyone's happy again.
:19:21. > :19:26.The cow was designed by Kenny himself. Its success gave him an
:19:26. > :19:30.idea. He now runs a business sideline. If you want an artificial
:19:30. > :19:36.animal of any type, he's your man. Kenny has a full range of life-
:19:36. > :19:41.sized creatures. But his real specialism remains his original
:19:41. > :19:46.inspiration, the cow. Would you say the cow's your masterpiece? It is.
:19:46. > :19:52.This cow is based on the eedeel cow. If you took this along to your
:19:52. > :19:59.agricultural show ,ed ee -- I'd expect you to win first prize.
:19:59. > :20:02.cow starts off looking like this. That's down to artist Ann Nicholls.
:20:02. > :20:06.Ann works 40 minutes in the hills from the milk bar. She gets the
:20:06. > :20:11.animals out of a mould and turns them into what people want.
:20:11. > :20:18.Customers range from farm shops to those seeking and unusual gift. Ann,
:20:18. > :20:24.how long does it take to to paint a cow. How long is a piece of string?
:20:24. > :20:27.It depends on what you're doing. Some take ages. I have to find out
:20:27. > :20:32.the right colours and work out the designs. This is reasonably
:20:32. > :20:37.straightforward. I don't know too much about cows but this is green?
:20:37. > :20:44.It's green! Why? Because the firm want it green. I suppose they are
:20:44. > :20:48.wanting to show the cocoa-ness of the farm shop. It is something a
:20:48. > :20:53.bit different. Suits me fine. other weird and wonderful ones have
:20:53. > :21:01.you done? I've done one for an anniversary present for someone who
:21:01. > :21:07.was married in Mistique. We did the island with little hearts autumn
:21:07. > :21:10.over it. What about the won in the garden? He's a bright fael la?
:21:10. > :21:15.Wonderful colours. The fun there was choosing the colours that go
:21:15. > :21:20.beside each other just to get it all to come together. I think some
:21:20. > :21:25.poor lady will have that as a surprise present for an anniversary.
:21:25. > :21:30.The animals, the cows in particular, are not just used for decorative
:21:30. > :21:35.purposes. They have an educational benefit too. We're doing the story
:21:35. > :21:43.about what sort of cow this is. This school brings them in to teach
:21:43. > :21:48.the kids about farming. How does the fafrpler get the milk out? He
:21:48. > :21:53.squeezes the udders. Very good. They use Kenny's invention, a
:21:53. > :22:00.special milking mechanism. Imagine you had to do that to get milk out
:22:00. > :22:06.twice a day. Farmers had to do that all the time. I like it. I like it.
:22:06. > :22:11.It's black and white. I like the part it didn't moo at all. It gives
:22:11. > :22:21.me headaches. It may just look like a quaint restaurant with a cow on
:22:21. > :22:31.its roof but the Horn milk bar is a real icon to the moo-torist! Get
:22:31. > :22:33.
:22:33. > :22:40.it! This is a fresian! He's always wanted a cow.
:22:40. > :22:47.Pretty good there, good technique? You did a one-off, Jim'll Fix It.
:22:47. > :22:52.The hopes of the nation's childrens are pinned on you, Shane. Will you
:22:52. > :22:58.do any more. Sadly we lost Sir Jimmy when I did it. It was a
:22:58. > :23:04.tribute to him. It did really well.. It is trying to find time round the
:23:05. > :23:08.shedual. A wonderful honour to be asked to do it? I was really
:23:08. > :23:12.nervous about doing it. I'm so used to playing the character. Now going
:23:12. > :23:20.in stepping into them shoes and the chair they made for me with all the
:23:20. > :23:23.gadgets. Kids wrote N you think times have changed but kids have
:23:23. > :23:28.that magical approach to television and you can make dreams come true.
:23:28. > :23:36.I'd quite like to do it again. year, I jumped on to a rickshaw and
:23:36. > :23:41.set off from Edinburgh. 485 miles and eight days later I reached
:23:41. > :23:46.London. Despite vowing never to get on a rickshaw again, Matt was
:23:46. > :23:51.tempted out of retirement for a special mission. As you can see,
:23:51. > :23:54.I'm back on board the rickshaw. I have to be honest, it's bringing
:23:54. > :23:58.back mixed emotions. My challenge was one of the many events which
:23:58. > :24:03.took place last year to raise money for Children In Need. The reason
:24:03. > :24:07.that Pudsey and I are back on board the three-wheel wonder is we're off
:24:07. > :24:11.to see how some of the money raised is being used. Are you happy back
:24:11. > :24:14.there, Sir? Very good. The mar low opportunity playgroup
:24:14. > :24:18.in Buckinghamshire caters for children with a variety of physical
:24:18. > :24:22.and learning difficulties. But it needs money to help with staffing
:24:22. > :24:29.costs. I'm here to pass on some good news on behalf of you generous
:24:29. > :24:37.One Show viewers. Hello everybody. Hello. I'm looking for Jane. Is
:24:37. > :24:43.Jane around? Hello, Jane. Please to meet you. Surprised to see you here.
:24:43. > :24:47.I parked my rickshaw in your car park. I'm acting as a mess jer
:24:47. > :24:53.today. You applied for a grant. did, in October. I'm here with good
:24:53. > :25:02.news and a friend. I hope you don't mind. Listen up, everyone, here's
:25:02. > :25:05.Pudsey Bear with a cheque for �28,854. What about that? Jane is
:25:05. > :25:09.the playgroup leader at marl owe. I'm keen to know how your money
:25:09. > :25:13.will be spent. It will make an amazing difference. All the
:25:13. > :25:19.children coming here have special needs. They need more support. We
:25:19. > :25:22.provide that with them with the staffing by providing one-to-one or
:25:22. > :25:27.one-to-two. We have specialist equipment, specialist toys and
:25:27. > :25:30.activities. To get a big sum of money in like this will mean we can
:25:30. > :25:37.really put our emphasis on the children rather than fund-raising
:25:37. > :25:41.continually. Hopefully, Children In Need will enable the playgroup to
:25:41. > :25:45.continue its great work. Last year, Ofsted rated the charity's early
:25:45. > :25:50.provision as outstanding. So, what do the parents who bring their
:25:50. > :25:54.children here think of it? This is is a bell. She's two-and-a-half and
:25:54. > :26:02.she's deaf. She's also delayed in her development. Coming here has

:26:14. > :26:18.The centre makes sure the children receive the same experiences as
:26:18. > :26:22.children in mainstream playgroups. How many mornings a week? Three

:26:41. > :26:49.place made to your lives? A real difference. We didn't realise there
:26:49. > :26:54.were challenges with Toby. As he got older, we realised he was
:26:54. > :27:01.slower. He have difficult things like writing off tor stpaiplt of

:27:33. > :27:43.Speaking of Children In Need, Matt was brave. Potentially you were
:27:43. > :27:49.braver. You channelled your inner George Michael. There we go.
