:00:07. > :00:13.Now, Chris, you know those Indian Runner ducks we have ordered for

:00:14. > :00:15.tonight's show? We will need more than one. Don't worry, I paid for

:00:16. > :00:54.his mates to go on a BBC tour. What? Hello, and welcome to Friday's The

:00:55. > :00:57.One Show with Chris Evans. And Alex Jones, and a man who has proved

:00:58. > :01:03.there is no off button to the genius which. Please welcome the brilliant

:01:04. > :01:11.Danny Baker. You can't get rid of me that quick. Back again! APPLAUSE

:01:12. > :01:14.The second instalment of Danny's autobiography is here. On the

:01:15. > :01:19.reverse of it, there are some reviews of the first instalment to

:01:20. > :01:27.entice you to go into the second. Here is a couple, Baker writes as he

:01:28. > :01:33.speaks, with honesty. Baker's memoir makes the alacrity and invention of

:01:34. > :01:38.his mind obvious. Honesty and invention, which is the most

:01:39. > :01:42.accurate? It is honesty. Invention suggests you sit there and pull this

:01:43. > :01:47.stuff and try to use, but these are stories as you know I have been

:01:48. > :01:51.telling for ages, and I never understand when you pick up a show

:01:52. > :01:54.business autobiography, they are all about show business, like you have

:01:55. > :02:00.no other life. The first one, which went better than I could possibly

:02:01. > :02:04.imagine, I try to keep it crisped, keep it moving along, and my friend

:02:05. > :02:08.said how come you did not put that one in when you got shot. I thought

:02:09. > :02:13.if I left that out, what else did I leave out? I have always been a

:02:14. > :02:17.writer, this one starts with the sentence: They say you never hear

:02:18. > :02:22.the shot that kills you, so at least I knew I wasn't going to die. And if

:02:23. > :02:26.you don't want to carry on reading after that, so it is honesty, but

:02:27. > :02:34.not a misery memoir. I have no skills to do that. I have not worked

:02:35. > :02:40.a day in my life! LAUGHTER And, just to point out, it was an

:02:41. > :02:44.airgun, not an actual... Do you know, that is downgrading it, I do

:02:45. > :02:52.know, it felt like a blunderbuss to me. It was in an unfortunate place.

:02:53. > :02:56.It could not be more comical, these sound like it is a good story but it

:02:57. > :03:00.did not happen, but all of these happen. I have always husbanded this

:03:01. > :03:05.stuff, and I have always thought one day, and I am 60 in two years, you

:03:06. > :03:09.have watched me grow up on TV. I always knew I was going to think,

:03:10. > :03:15.and now this is what happened, but it is the balance between... And

:03:16. > :03:18.then I met. They are all in there, meeting Bob Dylan, Frank Zappa,

:03:19. > :03:25.Kenneth Williams, Frankie Howard, Millbrook 's, but the main engine of

:03:26. > :03:28.these is to balance a really "normal life" with this extraordinary 35

:03:29. > :03:33.years now, if you don't mind, in television, with all that comes with

:03:34. > :03:42.it. People say you work in telly, it must be great. LAUGHTER

:03:43. > :03:51.It is not terrible. It is not terrible, but... We started off with

:03:52. > :03:56.a duck BT. This show is an oasis in an industry of otherwise... I always

:03:57. > :04:01.say if you are not scared, we are not doing our job. That is how it

:04:02. > :04:05.operates. We are scared we will run out of time in a minute, so here we

:04:06. > :04:12.go. One of the topics Danny covers in his latest book is the time he

:04:13. > :04:17.spent pounding the pavement doing vox pops. Sticking the microphone in

:04:18. > :04:22.a random cousin's Bob and asking them something they don't care

:04:23. > :04:28.about. Here is Alex Riley. I was born Mary Patterson and I married

:04:29. > :04:36.into my husband's name, so now I am Niall Paterson. I believe everyone

:04:37. > :04:42.should be forced to wear flared trousers. What exactly is this thing

:04:43. > :04:47.we call a vox pop? It is short for a Latin phrase, meaning voice of the

:04:48. > :04:56.people. What do you think of the Russian woman? We must have women in

:04:57. > :05:03.space. I don't think it is worth travelling that far to meet any man.

:05:04. > :05:11.What is the key to getting vox pop gold, not the taste test. I don't

:05:12. > :05:22.want to be poisoned. I don't like it. There are bugs. They are the

:05:23. > :05:27.future of slacking. Barbecue. You like that one too? Very nice, you

:05:28. > :05:33.wouldn't know it was worms. It is fish eggs. Salty. Nasty. Number two,

:05:34. > :05:55.get people to do the party piece. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, NEVER

:05:56. > :05:59.UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF A VERY SERIOUS QUESTION.

:06:00. > :06:15.Do you wear socks in bed? Condom is? Do you think miniskirts are a good

:06:16. > :06:21.thing? Terrible. What does bonking mean? Boris Becker, they call him

:06:22. > :06:25.the bunker. We are just filming for the The One Show, hang on a minute,

:06:26. > :06:31.it is Esther Rantzen, the Queen of the vox pop. How are you? Very

:06:32. > :06:37.well, how are you? What would you say is the key to a good vox pops?

:06:38. > :06:42.You are bringing out talent in the people you meet, and you need a

:06:43. > :06:47.stick mik. This gentleman is your sound man and holding a stick Mike

:06:48. > :06:53.kindly custom what do you wear in bed? Nothing! Have you always wore

:06:54. > :06:59.nothing or is it new? It is a new thing since I have turned 70, I have

:07:00. > :07:05.decided I am going to go for it. She does! LAUGHTER

:07:06. > :07:11.These ladies are your best bet for something naughty, mischievous,

:07:12. > :07:15.wicked, but nice. What does a vox pop give you that no other kind of

:07:16. > :07:21.medium does? Reign fun. People are huge fun. I found a little old lady

:07:22. > :07:26.who came out of the crowd and she was so funny. So if you are the one

:07:27. > :07:29.asking the questions, remember to smile and don't be afraid of

:07:30. > :07:36.rejection, because you will get it, and if you are the one being asked,

:07:37. > :07:40.remember, this is your moment! I would like to say your programme

:07:41. > :07:45.stinks! LAUGHTER Thanks for that. Now and again it

:07:46. > :07:52.does. We are not even halfway through. It is mostly my fault, to

:07:53. > :07:55.be honest. Now you have to tell the truth on telly, that is the deal,

:07:56. > :07:58.but way back when when you started doing your vox pops on telly, that

:07:59. > :08:03.is the deal, but way back when when you started doing your vox pops,

:08:04. > :08:06.yes, not all the time, but if you are not dealing with Iraq, not

:08:07. > :08:11.dealing with heavy issues, just entertain the folks. We did a story

:08:12. > :08:17.once, we heard about in our office, we did the show called the six

:08:18. > :08:21.o'clock show, very similar to this, and there was a thing about

:08:22. > :08:26.Brentford in London was supposed to have a mythical griffin flying

:08:27. > :08:30.around. There is a story there, so we went out to Brentford and tried

:08:31. > :08:34.to stand it up. Nobody was entertaining the idea, we had heard

:08:35. > :08:37.it in the local paper who plainly had made it up themselves. We said

:08:38. > :08:41.we can't go back and say we have not found it, so we had to get people to

:08:42. > :08:45.say where they had seen this griffin. Nobody had seen it, so we

:08:46. > :08:49.said put the camera on this side of the room and tell me over there. I

:08:50. > :08:52.went up to people with my microphone offset, excuse me where is Brentford

:08:53. > :08:59.football ground, and they all started going, over there. Over

:09:00. > :09:04.there. On the film I said, everyone in Brentford has a story about where

:09:05. > :09:08.they saw the griffin! LAUGHTER At the end, to say there is only one

:09:09. > :09:11.recording of it, and one of the crew got an umbrella, opened and closed

:09:12. > :09:16.it really quickly, and said this is the only recording of the beating of

:09:17. > :09:19.its wings! Now and nobody died, the audience thought that was

:09:20. > :09:23.interesting, and we made it up. And that is how you get the viewers!

:09:24. > :09:28.Lewis Carol made up Alice in Wonderland. We used to be in the

:09:29. > :09:35.entertainment business, now we are in the legal business. Danny, you

:09:36. > :09:40.love Nicolo, don't you? The greatest track is I love the sound of

:09:41. > :09:44.breaking glass. Our Marty can't get enough of.

:09:45. > :09:49.Most people think of glass as being rather fragile. You drop or bang it

:09:50. > :09:53.on the floor and it smashes into tiny fragments, but there is a way

:09:54. > :09:59.of making glass that is almost indestructible. Normal glass is made

:10:00. > :10:05.by melting a sandy mixture at ten pitchers between 13 and 1400

:10:06. > :10:11.Celsius. -- temperatures between, and then shaping it into whatever

:10:12. > :10:15.shape desired. If you drop the same altar mixture into cold water, the

:10:16. > :10:18.end result is a piece of glass that is very hard to break. If I hit the

:10:19. > :10:25.blobby bit at the end with a hammer... It doesn't break. It is

:10:26. > :10:34.rock hard. But if I just snip the very end here with a pair of

:10:35. > :10:38.pliers... Watch what happens. It was back in the 17th century that the

:10:39. > :10:42.nephew of Charles the first, Prince Rupert, was shown this phenomenon,

:10:43. > :10:45.and it is believed they were used as a party piece, the drops being

:10:46. > :10:51.broken while someone was holding one of them. And they have been known as

:10:52. > :10:59.Prince Rupert's drops ever since, but what's going on? When the glass

:11:00. > :11:05.drops into the water, it forms a blob, and the outside layer of that

:11:06. > :11:14.blob instantly cools and turns into a solid. But the inside remains hot

:11:15. > :11:20.and liquid. As that gradually cools and turns solid, it contracts, gets

:11:21. > :11:24.smaller, and that pulls on the outside, in. So there is a whole

:11:25. > :11:30.load of energy stored inside the glass. It makes it incredibly tough,

:11:31. > :11:35.so it doesn't break when you hit it, but there is a weak point. When you

:11:36. > :11:41.snip the end of the tail, you release all the energy and it

:11:42. > :11:45.explodes, with a bang. As the glass shatters so fast, the only wait to

:11:46. > :11:52.see what's happening is with an try speed camera, recording at 130,000

:11:53. > :11:56.frames per second. As soon as the glass tail is broken, the energy

:11:57. > :12:06.that is trapped inside is released in an explosive wave, travelling

:12:07. > :12:09.nearly 2000 metres per second. And now the Prince Rupert drop is

:12:10. > :12:15.inspiring a very different science, Balkan knowledge of. Back in 2010, a

:12:16. > :12:26.volcano in Iceland hit the hard lines. -- volcanology. UK airspace

:12:27. > :12:33.has been closed for the first time. Exports warned that the tiny

:12:34. > :12:44.particles could be sufficient to jam the aircraft engines -- experts.

:12:45. > :12:51.The volcano in Iceland was very different, in that it erupted from

:12:52. > :12:53.beneath the Glaesser, so when the hot droplets of Morten interacted

:12:54. > :13:03.with the frozen water from the Glaesser, it would have called very

:13:04. > :13:10.rapidly -- from the glacier. It could have sent the fine grain ash

:13:11. > :13:13.into the atmosphere full stop this led Emma and her colleagues to look

:13:14. > :13:18.at the Icelandic volcanic particles and compare them with the fragments

:13:19. > :13:22.produced by a Prince Rupert's drop, and they got some surprising was

:13:23. > :13:27.olds. On this screen, fragments from a broken Prince Rupert's drops. On

:13:28. > :13:31.this one, a fragment of volcanic ash. And they are pretty much the

:13:32. > :13:37.same, aren't they? The resemblance is striking. How does that help us

:13:38. > :13:41.with aviation and our understanding of what is going on? If we can learn

:13:42. > :13:45.more about what happened when a Prince Rupert's drop explodes, we

:13:46. > :13:48.can understand more about the types of ash that might be produced from

:13:49. > :13:52.future eruptions from Iceland that would give us a much clearer picture

:13:53. > :13:55.of how far the ash would travel and how Hazard as it is likely to be.

:13:56. > :14:01.This information is key for the people who decide when and for how

:14:02. > :14:05.long to shut the airspace. Little did Prince Rupert know that one day

:14:06. > :14:10.the glass drop named after him would help us understand how volcanic ash

:14:11. > :14:15.is made, and subsequently keep our skies that bit safer.

:14:16. > :14:25.Amazing. A good, amazing Friday film, how we like them. Back to your

:14:26. > :14:35.book. Thank you. You have said you have loads of stories about people,

:14:36. > :14:41.Spike Milligan, Mel Brooks, and we have a limited window, so pick your

:14:42. > :14:50.favourite and go. Mel Brooks, I say Bob Dylan is in as well, Nick Lowe

:14:51. > :14:53.and Bob Dylan is the story, but Mel Brooks, this is the kind of born on

:14:54. > :14:59.the wing of Angels, it is some throw of the dice that the gods did with

:15:00. > :15:05.my career, saying he cut actually do anything, but let's keep on going. I

:15:06. > :15:10.got fed up waiting for the NME about rock stars, I want to write about

:15:11. > :15:15.comedians. This is the dumb luck I have all the time. I met him at

:15:16. > :15:19.Claridges, I have never been overawed with anyone, but you go and

:15:20. > :15:23.meet Mel Brooks, it is 1981, he is huge. He was sitting at this table,

:15:24. > :15:30.and his manager said Mel, he looked up, and I look at him, and he said

:15:31. > :15:37.this is Danny Baker, and he said no! You are Danny Baker? Wow! I thought,

:15:38. > :15:47.well, he does this to everyone. He said seriously, your name is... Wow!

:15:48. > :15:51.This is Danny Baker everybody! He said, sit down, so I sat down. He

:15:52. > :15:54.went, do you know the very first thing I ever wrote for television,

:15:55. > :16:00.and everyone hated it, it stunk the place up, nobody liked it? It was

:16:01. > :16:08.never made, apart from one episode, it was called the private life of

:16:09. > :16:14.Danny Baker. I said, well, what's with the name? I tell you what it

:16:15. > :16:19.is, I never met any Jew called Danny Baker. It was the most gentile name

:16:20. > :16:24.I could think of. Me and Mel Brooks got on fantastic after that. Go on

:16:25. > :16:27.the internet, put Mel Brooks and my name and up comes this episode,

:16:28. > :16:31.that's still there. Have you seen it? No. I haven't. All the

:16:32. > :16:35.description is there. At the bottom, he's got this. He couldn't think of

:16:36. > :16:39.a less Jewish name and he wanted a gentile. He thought Danny Baker. He

:16:40. > :16:44.never met anyone called that. That's the kind of dumb luck. After that,

:16:45. > :16:50.what are you doing today? We went to the Natural History Museum, round

:16:51. > :16:55.art galleries. I did, I met him again about five years later. I

:16:56. > :17:01.thought, well, you know, Mel Brooks he's made about five films. "Danny

:17:02. > :17:10.Baker!" Here's another name. Mervyn Wilcox. Yes, a bank manager who

:17:11. > :17:14.looked after me during years when I wasn't earning a tenner, but I was

:17:15. > :17:21.spending pounds. Letters from him are in the book. He was probably the

:17:22. > :17:25.last twitch before banking became inhuman. He used to write me the

:17:26. > :17:31.funniest bank letters. He wrote a letter to my wife once. He sent a

:17:32. > :17:36.letter to Wendy saying, "I'm so sorry Danny's passed on. He was a

:17:37. > :17:41.lovely man. The only reason I can think he has not returned my calls

:17:42. > :17:47.or put any money in the bank... " So here's to him. How can we check that

:17:48. > :17:49.this isn't invention over honesty? Let's get Mervyn in, shall we? No!

:17:50. > :18:10.APPLAUSE Mervyn, bless you. Take a seat. I didn't think I was

:18:11. > :18:14.ever going to get on. Mervyn, what skill set did Danny help you develop

:18:15. > :18:18.as a manager? I'm not sure there was any apart from humour. You were

:18:19. > :18:22.great. And to try and get a word in edgeways. Not at all. You held your

:18:23. > :18:25.corner. I wish I'd kept your letters. So do I.

:18:26. > :18:30.LAUGHTER If the banking industry had an iota

:18:31. > :18:33.of your heart they wouldn't be the most hated people in Britain. You

:18:34. > :18:38.are the way it should have gone. Thank you very much. No, thank you,

:18:39. > :18:41.you were great. Well, there is no doubt that Mervyn, you are probably

:18:42. > :18:46.the most understanding bank manager in the entire planet, why did you

:18:47. > :18:51.keep lending him money when he just spent it? He didn't lend it to me.

:18:52. > :18:56.You could either say it was good money after bad or... I've gone with

:18:57. > :19:02.it this far, I might as well go a bit further. These letters became

:19:03. > :19:07.biblical. Give us a phrase. The bank giveth and the bank taketh away. I

:19:08. > :19:12.believed it to the soles of my boots. I used to turn up and say,

:19:13. > :19:16.man alive, you've got my account. I'm off to Hollywood on Monday. He

:19:17. > :19:23.would roll his eyes and three weeks later, go I ran into Mr Scorsese, he

:19:24. > :19:27.said he's never heard of you. I can't believe it! How did you part

:19:28. > :19:31.company? As quickly as possible really. Took a while, though didn't

:19:32. > :19:36.it? You were terrific. We had good times. In those days you were with a

:19:37. > :19:41.customer for three, five years and then you moved on. I think - we used

:19:42. > :19:45.to have meetings, you know occasionally, you know, I felt bad,

:19:46. > :19:49.I'd have to see him, he's given me so much money. I think it was a

:19:50. > :19:53.break for you from the humdrum as well. Absolutely, very much so. It

:19:54. > :19:56.was an adventure. I've never forgotten you. I'm so pleased not

:19:57. > :20:01.only to put some of your phrases in there and I found one letter to say,

:20:02. > :20:06.look, there was a time when this is how banks operated not the illusion

:20:07. > :20:10.we are given. I'm not sure everyone did. Not today, I don't No, they

:20:11. > :20:15.don't think. . I can't tell you how pleased I am. Well done. I have to

:20:16. > :20:21.say in rehearsal, Mervyn did get a lot more words in Tha'it. Many more.

:20:22. > :20:25.Have we overrun already? You ain't got a score you could give us? Not

:20:26. > :20:35.now. Thank you very much. Pleasure. APPLAUSE Tonight Well done.

:20:36. > :20:39.Fantastic. Wasn't it. That's television! Part two of Danny's

:20:40. > :20:44.autobiography is out in shops now. Now, the 1930's story of a romantic

:20:45. > :20:47.adventurer, a bi-plane and a love Just the sort of tale Ruth Goodman

:20:48. > :21:00.loves to get her teeth into. On the morning of April 11, 193 #3,

:21:01. > :21:06.a pilot was attempting to break the world record for flying from Britain

:21:07. > :21:12.to Cape Town, South Africa. This was the age of heroic aviation, when the

:21:13. > :21:14.public imagination was fired up by intrepid aiators, seeking out new

:21:15. > :21:24.routes around the globe in record time. Jocks away. Even by these

:21:25. > :21:29.standards, the life story of Bill Lancaster is extraordinary. In 1927,

:21:30. > :21:34.the dashing young airman had flown from Britain to Australia in a plane

:21:35. > :21:39.much like this one. But eyebrows were raised by his companion, on the

:21:40. > :21:47.14,000-mile journey, while his wife stayed at home in Blighty, Bill

:21:48. > :21:50.shared his cockpit with Jesy Chubbie Miller, a vivacious young Australian

:21:51. > :21:58.looking for adventure, she certainly found it. Just imagine trying to fly

:21:59. > :22:04.something like this. No GPS, no radar, no radio, no parachute. (

:22:05. > :22:08.Lancaster and Miller reached Australia five months later and

:22:09. > :22:15.people's suspicions were confirmed. Bill and Chubbie were lovers. What

:22:16. > :22:20.did your grandmother think of Chubbie? Not a lot. I think she

:22:21. > :22:25.found Bill's relationship with her really difficult. He refused to go

:22:26. > :22:29.back to his wife in England and the two aiators relocated to Florida to

:22:30. > :22:34.enjoy their new-found celebrity together. But the golden couple were

:22:35. > :22:45.about to encounter some turbulent times. It wasn't long before Chubbie

:22:46. > :22:49.took another lover, young author Hayden Clark. In 1932 Clark was

:22:50. > :22:56.found dead from a gunshot wound to the head. Suspicion immediately fell

:22:57. > :22:59.on Bill Lancaster. Under cross-examination Lancaster was calm

:23:00. > :23:02.and convincing, every inch the English gentleman. The jury

:23:03. > :23:08.obviously found his evidence plausible. He was found not guilty.

:23:09. > :23:13.But would he ever be free of The Stig moo of a murder charge?

:23:14. > :23:17.Lancaster hatched a plan he hoped would restore his reputation. To

:23:18. > :23:21.break the record for flying solo from Britain to Cape Town, a George

:23:22. > :23:25.Bush yay of -- journey of 6,000 miles. He flew south across the

:23:26. > :23:30.Mediterranean and onto Algeria, where he faced his most difficult

:23:31. > :23:35.challenge, the sa aa desert. -- Sahara desert. It was an enormous

:23:36. > :23:39.risk. The poor fellow was dog tired. The situation got worse as he got

:23:40. > :23:44.further away from England. The aircraft had a huge 100-gallon fuel

:23:45. > :23:50.tank in it. But still it only flew at 80mph. To go halfway around the

:23:51. > :23:55.world at 80mph is a bit of a mug's game, even today. In the teeth of a

:23:56. > :23:59.sand storm, Lancaster stopped to refuel in southern Algeria. He

:24:00. > :24:03.waited for the sky to clear, knowing that his chances of beating the

:24:04. > :24:10.record were slipping away. As night fell, he took off again to face

:24:11. > :24:16.another 750 miles of desert. 30 minutes later, his engine failed and

:24:17. > :24:24.he crash landed. Lancaster survived the crash, but was badly injured and

:24:25. > :24:28.now he was stuck in one of the most inhas pitable places on earth. With

:24:29. > :24:33.only two gallons of water, he sheltered from the sun under the

:24:34. > :24:37.wing and wrote a diary. The beginning of the eighth day has

:24:38. > :24:43.dawned. It is still cool. I have no water, no wind. I am waiting

:24:44. > :24:49.patiently. Come soon please. Fever wracked me last night, hope you get

:24:50. > :24:54.my log, Bill. The diary shows Lancaster survived for eight days.

:24:55. > :24:57.But the plane went undiscovered for 29 years until a French Army patrol

:24:58. > :25:02.stumbled across the wreckage in 1962. His body and diary had been

:25:03. > :25:12.miraculously preserved by the dry desert air. How would you sum up

:25:13. > :25:16.your grandfather? He was a romantic adventurer, someone who led the life

:25:17. > :25:20.he wanted to lead, although that caused a lot of pain. I think I'm

:25:21. > :25:29.really proud that he did what he did. That spirit, I admire. What a

:25:30. > :25:35.story, thank you Ruth. Would it be fair to say that the

:25:36. > :25:43.nadir of your TV career was being replaced by Dale Winton on Pets win

:25:44. > :25:47.Prizes. Yes, I'm told so. The show Strictly could have been... Nobody

:25:48. > :25:53.liked it. I loved it. Yes, and the BBC didn't tell us, hi to find out

:25:54. > :25:57.from the Sunday mayoror -- I had to find out that Dale Winton had

:25:58. > :26:01.replaced me. I loved that show. Here's your chance to redeem

:26:02. > :26:04.yourself. Our pets tonight are Indian runner ducks. They're

:26:05. > :26:11.gorgeous. Sometimes referred to as penguin ducks. The owner is here.

:26:12. > :26:18.How are you doing? Good. Glenn is here as well. This has become really

:26:19. > :26:22.popular herding these ducks. Yes I think we're 25 years being a

:26:23. > :26:26.sheepdog competitor, but invited to events and we take along the

:26:27. > :26:33.duckeds. We keep around 909 -- ducks. We keep around 90 at home.

:26:34. > :26:38.Danny is going to have a go. Tips. Four commands, to go anti-clock-wise

:26:39. > :26:44.for the dogs ah, way. Clock-wise - bye, to stop - stand and walk. You

:26:45. > :26:50.have to have a Welsh accent! Are you Welsh? (! ) Get out of here. I'm at

:27:00. > :27:09.you ready? Yeah. Three, two, one... Off you go.

:27:51. > :28:00.national. Sheep racing on Saturday night, three, two, one, off you go.

:28:01. > :28:18.LAUGHTER Come on Bridget. Very good.

:28:19. > :28:22.I'm going to feed the ducks. Quickly, your two books so far are

:28:23. > :28:26.going to be made into a film. You're writing themming at the minute. --
