26/05/2016 The One Show

Evening all, welcome to The One Show, with Alex Jones. And Matt

Baker. the fastest military

marching band in the world, They're very excited to be

performing with our guest later. He's the latest Brit to break

into Hollywood; his film's called Mother's Day,

and he's Jack Whitehall! Jack, the Rifles are big fans

of yours, and have invited you to march with them and play

a bugle solo, But that cannot happen, because you

have a leg injury. Will continue through the whole show? It is quite

difficult to concentrate... We have started! LAUGHTER

They have said, will you still be able to do the bugle so low? How is

it? Pretty good... They will stop when they get to the end, the guy on

the left-hand side, Mattock, he is the man who you will be bugle with.

Playing his bugle... LAUGHTER Bugle it up!

Now, Jack, later on we'll hear the story of

when reggae legend Bob Marley gave a surprise

performance at a Peckham school in 1972.

Jack, any famous visitors at your school?

I did, Chris De Burgh... Chris De Burgh went to my school, not at the

same time as me, and he came back to record an episode of songs of

praise, while I was a pupil, and... There was a bit I had to do... He

was doing a bit to camera, and my classroom was in the back of

shocked... I was a school kid out of my classroom. -- Songs of Praise. I

made a cameo appearance, a little cameo appearance not deemed

appropriate for songs of praise. Part of my anatomy that was not

appropriate... LAUGHTER It is not big and not clever, I was

young. Hilarious at the time actress at the Chris, I am sorry, if you are

watching. We have got some young mothers in the night. I thought that

you were going to say that Chris De Burgh was here tonight! I wonder

what on earth you made of that, he in back your son... -- your mother

is in the night. This is the first time I have heard of it and we will

be having words about it. LAUGHTER This is a whole new ball park, did a

celebrity ever make a surprise appearance at your school? Whole new

ballpark. If you've got the photo evidence

to prove it, send it along to [email protected]

or our social media. Eating disorders affect nearly three

quarters of a million people in the UK. Scientists are keen to find any

new technology which may help to understand and treat them.

Angellica met one patient who is desperate

VOICEOVER: 22-year-old Londoner Christie has anorexia. I was

diagnosed when I was 13, it has been nine years, I cannot remember the

last time that I did not count what I was eating in the day. I feel like

it has been nine years of constant mental torture. There are around

72,000 people in the UK who, like Christie, have been diagnosed as

having anorexia. With medical advice, she has tried various

treatments, including psychological therapies and medication. Today she

is starting the first part of a new trial which she hopes will

revolutionise the way that we treat anorexia. The first scan takes 30

seconds. For she starts on the trial here at Kings College London, an MRI

scan is taken of her brain. NHS advice described anorexia as a

serious mental health condition. Researchers here believe that the

best way to treat it may lie in directly stimulating the brain. That

is what this trial is exploring. Transcranial magnetic stimulation

works by sending a magnetic field to stimulate specific areas of the

brain. It has already been used to treat depression but never before

for anorexia. Jessica McClelland, the for psychiatry and psychologists

and neuroscience is behind the trial. The habit and the symptoms

and behaviours become ingrained, automatic, unconscious. That is why

talking therapies may not work for individuals who have had it for a

long time, there is a real need to intervene at a neural level and

change those processes and mechanisms. Essentially you are

trying to change the way that the brain functions. We think that it

can help, the idea would be to use an intervention like this alongside

psychotherapy. In through here? This is the fourth of 20 sessions for

Christie, and getting the first look at the trial for us, Andrew Radford,

from the eating disorder charity, Beat. People with normal eating

behaviours, there are brain will fire in a certain way, but those

with abnormal, the pathways fix in a different order. If we can intervene

quickly, and stop those pathways setting themselves up in the wrong

way, and re-established the normal pathways, then it looks like you

will have a good chance of getting a recovery. First, she shown images of

food, and asked to rate her feelings in response to a series of

questions. Then it is time for the brain stimulation. On the screen,

you can see the target, we need to get to the centre of it. To get the

area of the brain that we are trying to stimulate. Three, two, one. It

feels like a woodpecker. It does not hurt but it feels a bit strange.

ELECTRONIC CLACKING. She has 25 second bursts of brain stimulation

over the course of 20 minutes. What is going through your mind? Can you

think of something? We have all had one of those moments in life where

you think, where am I going, what did I do to end up with this on my

head. LAUGHTER With expert guidance, I am allowed

to administer the last burst. ELECTRONIC CLACKING. There you go.

Thank you! With treatment over, Christie repeats the earlier test,

results of the trial are expected in August, the medics are saying

nothing until then, but Andrew is optimistic. It is like being at the

time when you invented vaccination, or something, watching these people

that have worked out what is going on, just in the hope that we will

have a breakthrough. And you know the breakthrough could start to

happen, this is really exciting. Christie has 16 more sessions of the

therapy. It has been promising, it is really exciting to see how it

develops and to know that I have been a part of it. Now, obviously,

this is just the beginning for Christie and the other volunteers,

but the team here are hopeful that stimulating the brain could yet be a

leap forward in the treatment of anorexia. STUDIO: It is early days

but it will be interesting to see the results in August, we will do a

catch up on it. And with us is one of the world's

leading TMS experts, Dr David Pitcher from

University of York. Apart from what we saw in the film,

what other illnesses is TMS being used to treat, you are doing the

research into how it can help. Currently very promising work in

depression, people who have TMS, in conversation with behavioural

therapy, it can help. People recovering from strokes. The work

that I do with my colleague Helen, we study the basic function of the

brain, we say, what does this particular part of the brain do, if

we can disrupt that, we can see that it is causally essential for doing

that, recognising a face, saying a word, that kind of thing. What kind

of proof have you got? Machines like this, all over Britain now. Every

psychology department in the country has one of these machines,

interesting and compelling way to do neuroscience. The more and more

research you do, obviously the more the machine will be used. Five years

from now what do you hope to achieve? I'm looking at autism,

where the brain goes wrong, where it may miss function, an autistic

person may not look you in the face, they will avoid eye contact. How

does that face area not function in the autistic person? It is not that

TMS makes you autistic, but we can look at the disruption, and how that

may mirror behaviour that an autistic person may have. We will

bring in your colleague, doctor Helen Nuttall. Give us an idea of

what is about to happen. You are going to do something with your arm

and how it interacts with your brain. My motor cortex is across the

top of my head, any thing I'm doing while I move my head, controlled by

the top Barack -- controlled by the part of the

brain goes across the top of my head. There is a partner controlled

the face, the hand, breathing, everything. If we deliver TMS to

wear it controls the arm, then it will make it not function. It will

go into the cortex, neurons under the brain will fire, TMS is

controlling them, it will make me shake, basically. You are going to

hold out your arm, go ahead. Which way will it go... I don't want to be

smashed in the face! If you want to restrain me, that is fine! Helen,

whenever you are ready. I'm going to place this quail on his head, on the

motor cortex, and you will hear some clicking noises, so if you would

like to do some action with your hand. Are you ready...

And we do that again... You are really trying to move your arm. I

cannot do it, the TMS has taken over that part of my brain, not that it

is making planned movements, it is noise in the brain, there is

confusion in that part of the brain. The part that controls my hand is

not sure what it has to do. It is completely safe? It could cause a

stroke in somebody with a family history of epilepsy so we never do

it with people like that. It is completely safe. Thank you very much

for joining us. not only is he launching his

new stand-up tour, he's also starring in his

first Hollywood movie. But he knows us Brits

will always keep him humble. This bloke comes up to me, he taps

me on the shoulder and says, mate, do you know who you look like? I

think, God, this is awkward... I must've been recognised from the

telly... Go on, fire away, we are all ears... Mate, you look just like

a fat Jack Whitehall. LAUGHTER Recognised as a fat version of

myself...! LAUGHTER LAUGHTER

A lot to talk about, talking about the new tour, coming out next year.

Your new tour At Large starts in 2017,

will it continue this theme of humiliation?

People like that, I have certainly try to get a lot of stories in the

new tour of me being the Milliyet it and put in my place, I have a

similar thing that happened to me to that, maybe even more human letting,

I was on an aeroplane not too long ago, very excited that my stand-up

had made it onto the in-flight entertainment system. That is

massive! I saw this guy watching me on the screen, I thought we had a

fan, perhaps he may come over for a photograph. Five minutes later, I

watched him switch off my stand-up, and put on the in-flight map

instead! LAUGHTER He would rather watch a cartoon

plane, than me... So that was... That felt good(!) lots of comics

like yourself right material based on their lives and what has

happened. Recently your life has been a little bit Hollywood.

I have talked about going to America, trying to break America,

very much still intact, at the moment... LAUGHTER

Los Angeles is a strange place to go to, especially for a Londoner, it is

so friendly, aggressively friendly. When you are from London, it is

just... You are not used to it, people think your voice is a

conversation starter, I have never experienced that, they will come up

and say, my God, you are from London, I love London. And I think,

well, London would not love you. LAUGHTER

I try. With that in mind, why are you so desperately crack America? I

am not, James Corden... He has got that locked down! LAUGHTER

There is room for the two of you. I was watching Graham Norton the other

night, you are in this Hollywood movie, could not believe it, how did

it happen? Quite weird, I got a call from my manager and he said, do you

want to do a film with Julia Roberts and I said, yes, I think I could

probably make room in my schedule for that(!)... It was all very

surreal. Julia Roberts, Jennifer Aniston, Kate Hudson... That is my

dream cast! How did it feel, first day on set, Jack Whitehall, over in

Los Angeles, intimidating? Were they welcoming? All very nice. A lot of

my scenes with Julia Roberts, I forgot my line at one point, because

I was staring at her! She had to prompt me, that was quite

embarrassing. Did they ask you to do an American accent, to start with?

Were you always going to be the guy from Britain? My American accent is

not great, I do auditions out there, I do my own voice. I did an audition

in America, and I prepared in an English accent, if that is OK, and

they said, it is not really, you have to be American. And I said, I

thought that perhaps he could be English. They said, you are playing

the young Harrison Ford. You sure Harrison Ford could not just make

his own accent posh English, and then we could sync up like that...

They told me, no... (!) That is the most adorable baby I

have ever seen. Could you watch while I do my set? No! That you, out

you go, I am rooting for you. This wasn't planned, coming out with her

wasn't planned, not that she wasn't planned!

It's brilliant, its massive and we are chuffed to have you here.

Tickets for the next stand-up tour, At Large, are on sale, and the movie

Mother's Day is out June ten. We asked earlier on if a celebrity

turned up at your school, Noel Edmonds was the most famous to turn

up at ours. It was incredible. What a day. Our favourite, you won't know

him, but it was a guy called Jenkins. We were really excited.

What does he do? He was like a pantomime character, we thought he

was amazing. Send in a picture to the usual address! But neither of

them compare to this story. The legendary Bob Marley, famous

throughout the world. But back in 1972 he was a struggling musician

living in London. Outside of Jamaica hardly anyone knew he was and

getting on air was tough. So he tried an unusual tactic, it all

started when he met art teacher Keith. I was in a nightclub and I

got talking to Johnny Nash and Bob Marley. Johnny had recorded a single

that Bob Marley had written and they were frustrated it was not hitting

the top 40. I suggested why don't you come down to the school in

Peckham where I teach and do a performance for the kids? You can

get them to buy your record. Did you think they would show up? Not at

all. But surprisingly the dead. And today Keith is back at his old

school. We entered the games hall and there was to mulch was clapping

and cheering. I am so jealous. I had my camera with me, because if I had

not know one would have believed the story. I have some great pictures to

show you. Oh my goodness. That's fantastic. Johnny was sitting on the

left and Bob on the right of the picture. Look at the children's

faces, they cannot believe it. There are no microphones. It was properly

acoustic. Absolutely. One of the kids cheekily asked why he was

wearing the hat indoors and he took it off and his dreadlocks came out

and he smiled, he was happy to discuss it. He said this is part of

my religion. A proper education for the kids. A lot better than double

maths! Exactly! One of the songs played that day was Stir It Up and

we have invited two Bob Marley fans to recreate the performance on the

same spot. And we have traced two old boys who were at the gig, Terry

and George. It seems like yesterday. It was a

great gig. I told people but I don't think they believed me. It was

fantastic for him to do that. There was a point when we were in

the playground and he was coming towards me and our eyes met as if to

say we are one. It's a deep thing. There was something special on that

day, I won't ever forget it. After the performance, on the way back to

the car he saw some students playing football and he started showing them

some of the skills. I watched him kicking the ball in the ear with his

foot, his knee and his guitar. The kids, their faces. The ball went

over to Johnny Nash, the Texan, and he kicked it as hard as he could and

it disappeared over the terrace houses. You must have been the

coolest teacher out there. For a few weeks I was a folk hero. Whether the

gate helped or not, Stir It Up reached 13 in the charts, Bob

Marley's first success outside of Jamaica. Within three years Bob

Marley would become a megastar and although he is missed today his

voice still echoes throughout the world including here in Peckham.

Brilliant, it is just like being back here in 1972.

Talking of being back there in the school days, we asked for your

photographs if a celebrity visited you at school and you did not

disappoint. Look at this one. This is Martin with Emlyn Hughes in 1982.

The Fonz in Manchester. Gordon Brown at the school in Sheffield,

apparently all the naughty children were sent home that day! Good old

Matt Baker came to visit Chris in Jersey! Still wearing the same ...

Shirt. Let's meet a woman who gets around a bit more slowly.

When you are pushing the paddle through the water, you left it up

and can hear it trickle. That is nice because it's close to you and

everything else is very distant so that is when it is just you and the

water. It's the ultimate soundtrack when you have the birds and the

water around you. I am paddle boarding 400 miles through the

length of Britain, 193 blocks and it will take me about four weeks to

complete. I am paddling every day for between ten and 12 hours. Now is

the sort of time, when it's this peaceful, quiet, you just switch off

and it's just you and the water. Yesterday was fairly torrential

rain, it was tough going. The knock on effect is fast flowing

downstream, I have been up against that with headwind as well. Every

paddle I am taking I am being pushed two back. I would say my body is

adapting to the repetitive movement of the paddling. I wake up in the

mornings and my hands are like clause. When I started paddle

boarding that is when I started to realise how big the problem with

plastic pollution is. It was just really sad to see all this up and

the network. I am taking pictures, I've seen a ridiculous number of

footballs. Plates, kids bicycle, plant pot. An umbrella. Things which

should not be in the waterways. Looks like it's come from a boat or

maybe it's a dog story? -- dog toy? When I am on the water and I am

alone I think about what I would like to eat most of the time and

what I will have for my next snack or meal, that keeps me going in the

short term. I think sometimes you can get lost in your own fault and

that can be one of the challenges, especially as I go on. I can imagine

there will be moments I get lonely. People are so friendly and nice and

on the canals it's much more narrow than the River, you are paddling at

the peace people are walking so you can have nice conversations. I have

always been quite adventurous, I have always taken on challenges but

nothing of this scale. It makes me feel alive and happy and I do it

because I can do it. That doesn't necessarily have to be a bigger

reason for anyone else, do it because you can because one day you

may not be able to. So Lizzie is now two thirds of the

way through her challenge and if you want to track you can find the link

on our website. We have moved outside to meet Major Jason

Griffiths, the director of music of The Rifles. You look great, you have

changed since rehearsal! How fast can you go and why do The Rifles

march so fast? We go so fast because years ago the prestigious regiment

The Rifles are renowned for being at the front of the battle. They will

move the quickest, they have to be skirmishing through the woods in the

green Gen X. To keep that tradition going we are the fastest marching

band in that we should march at about 140 paces per minute. The

faster you go the faster you have to play the music and it has to be in

time. Yes. And the bugle goes double which is about 180 paces so we have

to keep up with them. What is going to be happening at Horse Guards

Parade? We have sounding retreat, it's been over two decades since The

Band and Bugles of The Rifles and cadet bands, our sister regiment

from Canada, the military web squire, -- military web is squire.

We have two gives you the bugle, Jack. Don't mess this up! Tomorrow I

will be here with Elaine Paige, Russel T. Davies and ABC and Gyles

is my co-presenter so anything could happen. Best of luck! See you

tomorrow!
