Live from London's West End! | 0:00:05 | 0:00:07 | |
It's time for The One Show! | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
With tonight's star guest,
Sharon Osbourne! | 0:00:09 | 0:00:14 | |
Blow...those...trumpets! | 0:00:14 | 0:00:16 | |
And the Tramp did below! -- trumpets
did below! | 0:00:31 | 0:00:42 | |
Hello and welcome to
The One Show with Alex Jones. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
And Ore Oduba, | 0:00:44 | 0:00:45 | |
and the "fabulous darling"
Sharon Osbourne! | 0:00:45 | 0:00:49 | |
We are wondering, has Simon Cowell
ever done anything of that magnitude | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
for you? Well, sort of, yes. Has
he?! He gives me a very nice cheque | 0:00:52 | 0:01:04 | |
every week. But there is nothing
like having your name in lights in | 0:01:04 | 0:01:09 | |
the West End, that must have been
nice from us to you. I did ask if I | 0:01:09 | 0:01:13 | |
was going to go up on that screen
and they said no! It was a surprise! | 0:01:13 | 0:01:19 | |
But you grew up in London, what were
your memories of growing up here | 0:01:19 | 0:01:24 | |
when you were little? Oh, my lord,
so many, cos I went from living in | 0:01:24 | 0:01:31 | |
Brixton to Barclay square, so it was
really like this. So on a weekend, I | 0:01:31 | 0:01:37 | |
always used to go to Piccadilly, as
one does, mingle and meet people and | 0:01:37 | 0:01:41 | |
everything. And I just think back to
those days, my favourite shop was | 0:01:41 | 0:01:49 | |
called Sworn and Edgar, a fabulous
department store, I had a lovely | 0:01:49 | 0:01:58 | |
cape I bought from there. I love a
cape! And I had a little jockey hat, | 0:01:58 | 0:02:08 | |
but then they turned it into Tower
Records, and I used to go to an old | 0:02:08 | 0:02:17 | |
deli on Windmill Street. I have got
images of you wearing a cape back in | 0:02:17 | 0:02:29 | |
the day, just as long as you wear it
better than Madonna that time, which | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
I am sure you did! | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
Well, Piccadilly Circus has changed
a lot over the years, and after nine | 0:02:35 | 0:02:40 | |
months of renovations a brand-new
big screen will light up live, | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
tonight exclusively for The One Show
for a very special moment. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:48 | |
We are getting a chance to play with
it - dangerous! See what we get up | 0:02:48 | 0:02:53 | |
to later, it is all above board, I
swear! | 0:02:53 | 0:02:57 | |
Now, from the hustle and bustle
of Piccadilly Circus to the scenic, | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
tranquil, rolling countryside
between Country Antrim | 0:03:00 | 0:03:01 | |
and Londonderry. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:02 | |
Countryside that's soon
to have a new dual carriageway | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
running right through it,
which is not only dividing | 0:03:04 | 0:03:06 | |
the landscape, it's dividing many
opinions, as Joe Lindsay discovered. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:10 | |
Our unfenced country
Is bog that keeps crusting | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
Between the sights of the sun. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:20 | |
This is Seamus Heaney country, bogs
and wetlands which inspired some of | 0:03:20 | 0:03:24 | |
the Nobel laureate's greatest works.
But it won't be like this for much | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
longer. Because in order to cut
journey times between Northern | 0:03:27 | 0:03:35 | |
Ireland's two main cities of Belfast
and Derry by up to a quarter, a new | 0:03:35 | 0:03:39 | |
road is being bulldozed straight
through this much loved landscape. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
It is a decision which has led to a
bitter dispute between those who | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
saved the road is long overdue and
environmental campaigners who claim | 0:03:45 | 0:03:50 | |
it will adversely affect the
wildlife in this habitat of Heaney's | 0:03:50 | 0:03:55 | |
home place. The local MP is in
favour of the new dual carriageway. | 0:03:55 | 0:04:00 | |
Why is there a need for this road?
This area, for a long number of | 0:04:00 | 0:04:06 | |
years, has been a car park, and
anyone who has been sitting there | 0:04:06 | 0:04:10 | |
will say this is an opportunity to
fix the link between the East and | 0:04:10 | 0:04:14 | |
West and have a good route between
Belfast and Derry. He believes the | 0:04:14 | 0:04:18 | |
West of the country has not received
its fair share of investment over | 0:04:18 | 0:04:22 | |
the years. It has been neglected for
years, first of all by the British | 0:04:22 | 0:04:27 | |
Government, then the Stormont
government, everything stopped at | 0:04:27 | 0:04:32 | |
the Bann river, and we have always
said we need development west of the | 0:04:32 | 0:04:36 | |
Bann. For Seamus Heaney, this
landscape and its wildlife was the | 0:04:36 | 0:04:42 | |
inspiration for some of his greatest
poetry. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:48 | |
Everywhere the eye concedes to
Encrouching horizon, | 0:04:48 | 0:04:49 | |
Is wooed into the cyclops' eye
Of a tarn. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
And it is this that has led to the
recent campaign to stop the building | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
of what is known as Heaney Motorway.
I am eating an environmentalist, | 0:04:55 | 0:05:02 | |
Doris, one of the organisers of the
protest. She is concerned that the | 0:05:02 | 0:05:06 | |
road will disrupt the wetland
feeding grounds of my Rake three | 0:05:06 | 0:05:10 | |
swans and other birds. It is
important to say it is about the | 0:05:10 | 0:05:14 | |
route and not the road, the two
cities in Northern Ireland need good | 0:05:14 | 0:05:19 | |
connectivity. The main objective is
to make good use of the special | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
wetlands. It will have a big impact
on this special protection area, and | 0:05:22 | 0:05:29 | |
that is for the birds that come
here, including these swans, but | 0:05:29 | 0:05:34 | |
there are 22 species which are
designated for the area. Does the | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
fact that this landscape featured so
heavily in Heaney's prose, does it | 0:05:37 | 0:05:43 | |
have an impact? I think Seamus
Heaney pleaded with the Secretary of | 0:05:43 | 0:05:49 | |
State. He saw how a wetland like
that is inspirational, but it is | 0:05:49 | 0:05:55 | |
also important for nature
conservation. Needless to say, those | 0:05:55 | 0:05:59 | |
in favour of the road do not see it
this way. The issues around the | 0:05:59 | 0:06:06 | |
swans is very important, but this
whole area will be developed in a | 0:06:06 | 0:06:10 | |
way which will make it appealing for
them and to continue to graze here, | 0:06:10 | 0:06:15 | |
as they did over the centuries.
There are those who will say what | 0:06:15 | 0:06:19 | |
you are doing is getting a concrete
swathe through Heaney country. It | 0:06:19 | 0:06:25 | |
identifies the areas that Heaney
talked about, local roads will | 0:06:25 | 0:06:29 | |
actually be quieter, you will be
able to use them better, and it is | 0:06:29 | 0:06:32 | |
not destroying it. To me, it is
opening it up. And yet there is an | 0:06:32 | 0:06:40 | |
added irony to matters, because one
place more than most might actually | 0:06:40 | 0:06:44 | |
benefit from the improved access the
route brings, the brand-new Seamus | 0:06:44 | 0:06:50 | |
Heaney Home play centre in his home
village. Since it opened, more than | 0:06:50 | 0:06:55 | |
40,000 people have come here to
celebrate the life and work Seamus | 0:06:55 | 0:07:00 | |
Heaney, so how do the locals feel
about the new road? Oh, I think it | 0:07:00 | 0:07:04 | |
will be great for the area, really
good. If you need the road, you need | 0:07:04 | 0:07:09 | |
road. The main link between the two
cities in this part of country, it | 0:07:09 | 0:07:14 | |
needs to happen. Well, that was
pretty unanimous. It comes down to | 0:07:14 | 0:07:18 | |
what we value most, where we want to
go or preserve what we have left | 0:07:18 | 0:07:22 | |
behind. Either way, we will always
have the beautiful words of Seamus | 0:07:22 | 0:07:26 | |
Heaney. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:31 | |
The bogholes might
be Atlantic seepage. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:32 | |
The wet centre is bottomless. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:36 | |
They were talking about heavy
traffic problems, but nothing like | 0:07:36 | 0:07:39 | |
LA, where you spend most of your
time, are you a driver? I am a | 0:07:39 | 0:07:44 | |
terrible tribe, I do drive.
Hilarious! I want to say to | 0:07:44 | 0:07:51 | |
everyone, move away, coming through,
I am awful. We were sitting in our | 0:07:51 | 0:07:56 | |
meeting guessing what type of driver
you are, do you have road rage? No, | 0:07:56 | 0:08:03 | |
I just tripped from one lane to the
other, and then if I want to turn, I | 0:08:03 | 0:08:08 | |
turn. I think about it later and
think, gosh, why didn't I indicate? | 0:08:08 | 0:08:16 | |
So you are a cause of road rage! I
am not Mrs Magoo, people are | 0:08:16 | 0:08:25 | |
screaming and throwing things, I am
oblivious. Don't ask for | 0:08:25 | 0:08:29 | |
forgiveness, just apologise later.
We have to talk about X Factor, | 0:08:29 | 0:08:34 | |
because the show goes live this
weekend, yes, it does. You have got | 0:08:34 | 0:08:38 | |
a sexy older voice on you. Say that
again, live! X Factor goes live! | 0:08:38 | 0:08:46 | |
Sharon, you and I... I have got to
get on a bike in a minute, but I | 0:08:46 | 0:08:50 | |
want to hang out with you for the
rest of the night! The excitement | 0:08:50 | 0:08:53 | |
comes back in, because it is live on
stage, do you enjoy it? We love to | 0:08:53 | 0:09:01 | |
go live every weekend, it is like a
party atmosphere, I love it. It is | 0:09:01 | 0:09:05 | |
the adrenaline. It is. I liked your
decision, because you said you | 0:09:05 | 0:09:11 | |
didn't want any novelty acts, you
needed to move the show on, and you | 0:09:11 | 0:09:15 | |
stand by that. Did the judges agree?
Yes, you have got a good point? | 0:09:15 | 0:09:21 | |
Everybody agreed, everybody, it was
unanimous across the board, that is | 0:09:21 | 0:09:26 | |
it. So where do you stand? Obviously
you put Honey G through last year, | 0:09:26 | 0:09:30 | |
where do you stand on Honey G? A lot
of people say that was a novelty | 0:09:30 | 0:09:34 | |
act. I actually inherited Honey G,
because she was put into my | 0:09:34 | 0:09:42 | |
category, but you know what? I
thought it took amazing, amazing | 0:09:42 | 0:09:49 | |
courage to do what she did. Listen,
she's not a kid, she is an older | 0:09:49 | 0:09:53 | |
woman, and she wanted to be a
rapper, and that is what she does, | 0:09:53 | 0:09:59 | |
and more power to her to have the
guts to get up and do it every week | 0:09:59 | 0:10:03 | |
- I couldn't. And she was a
sensation, people loved watching | 0:10:03 | 0:10:06 | |
her. They did! You have always
unearthed great talents on X Factor, | 0:10:06 | 0:10:12 | |
but TV has changed so much, I want
to talk about ratings, 2009, 19 | 0:10:12 | 0:10:18 | |
million people watched Joe
McElderry, but we don't see those | 0:10:18 | 0:10:20 | |
figures, not helped by the dancing
show on the BBC on a Saturday night, | 0:10:20 | 0:10:26 | |
I don't know if you have ever
courted! Where do you stand on that | 0:10:26 | 0:10:32 | |
and where this show might go
forward? It is difficult when the | 0:10:32 | 0:10:36 | |
audiences are not there as they were
before. The thing is, it is not just | 0:10:36 | 0:10:40 | |
up against a great, great show, it
is just that things have changed, | 0:10:40 | 0:10:45 | |
and you know what? Younger kids on
their computers all day and all | 0:10:45 | 0:10:51 | |
night, and times move on, times
change. But, you know, we have still | 0:10:51 | 0:10:56 | |
got a great audience, and people
still want to see the show, and it | 0:10:56 | 0:11:01 | |
is like... So you know what? There
is always competition, and that is | 0:11:01 | 0:11:06 | |
good, because it makes you work a
bit harder. You have got the girls | 0:11:06 | 0:11:12 | |
category this year, which is ironic,
because Dermot as to who you didn't | 0:11:12 | 0:11:17 | |
want and this is what you said. The
girls. Why not? Because they are too | 0:11:17 | 0:11:24 | |
young and I am too upfront, I don't
want to hurt anyone. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:36 | |
LISTEN, YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE IT
WORK! OF COURSE, I WANT TO NURTURE,, | 0:11:37 | 0:11:43 | |
I will be behind these girls and be
a good mental. You got the girls. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:50 | |
You now have Holly, Rai-Elle graze,
have you had a chance to reconsider | 0:11:50 | 0:12:01 | |
your views? I feel exactly the same
way, when somebody is just 16, I | 0:12:01 | 0:12:07 | |
can't say to them, oh, shut up, get
in there, come on, woman! And you | 0:12:07 | 0:12:15 | |
know, they are delicate, they need
nurturing, and I have to remember | 0:12:15 | 0:12:20 | |
that all the time. With Holly and
Rai-Elle, they are both 16, but I | 0:12:20 | 0:12:26 | |
forget because they are so material
mentally. Let's assume one of them | 0:12:26 | 0:12:31 | |
win, what kind of industry is it
fought young women these days? Do | 0:12:31 | 0:12:36 | |
you know what, it is an amazing
industry, it is an amazing | 0:12:36 | 0:12:41 | |
opportunity, and all I would say to
them is take it easy, you have got | 0:12:41 | 0:12:45 | |
all the time in the world, take it
at your own pace, don't be forced | 0:12:45 | 0:12:50 | |
into doing anything you don't want
to do - do it at your own pace. They | 0:12:50 | 0:12:55 | |
are lucky to have you. Who doesn't
want to be in Sharon's category? | 0:12:55 | 0:13:00 | |
Why?! Just one more goal! I am so
sorry, Sharon, I have got to go. No! | 0:13:00 | 0:13:09 | |
I have got to go, I have got my
helmet! There is a motorbike | 0:13:09 | 0:13:15 | |
standing by. I would go, but I don't
want to get wet. Hold on tight. We | 0:13:15 | 0:13:20 | |
have got an important date, mwah,
see you later! No time for kisses, | 0:13:20 | 0:13:27 | |
everybody! Off he goes. We will see
him later. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:33 | |
Now, two weeks today,
the intrepid Team Rickshaw | 0:13:33 | 0:13:38 | |
will set off on an epic,
500 mile ride to the Clyde. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:41 | |
Raising money for Children
in Need as they do it. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:44 | |
So time to meet another one
of our Rickshaw Riders who said, | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 | |
once she gets on that rickshaw, | 0:13:47 | 0:13:48 | |
she's going to go
like a bat out of hell! | 0:13:48 | 0:13:50 | |
This is Sabah's story. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:53 | |
Hi, my name is Sabah, and this is my
family. I live with mum, dad, my | 0:13:58 | 0:14:07 | |
brothers and sisters, this is the
good twin, and this is the cheeky | 0:14:07 | 0:14:13 | |
twin. We never in our wildest dreams
thought she would be diagnosed with | 0:14:13 | 0:14:17 | |
cancer in the kidneys. We have been
to GP, and he sent us to the | 0:14:17 | 0:14:27 | |
children's hospital. Within the
space of half a day, she had to have | 0:14:27 | 0:14:31 | |
her kidneys removed, bear in mind
she was only one-year-old. Ten | 0:14:31 | 0:14:35 | |
months down the line, she was
diagnosed with tumours on her lungs. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:39 | |
I cried all the time, all the time.
I was scared, I don't want to lose | 0:14:39 | 0:14:43 | |
my Sabah. I was only given a 30%
chance of survival. There was even a | 0:14:43 | 0:14:51 | |
moment when my heart stopped
beating. Luckily, I was brought back | 0:14:51 | 0:14:57 | |
to life and... I went on to beat
cancer. Twice! When Sabah received | 0:14:57 | 0:15:07 | |
her transplant, it was 100
Christmas's, once, it was a | 0:15:07 | 0:15:16 | |
wonderful time. I got my kidney when
I was six years old, ten days after | 0:15:16 | 0:15:23 | |
my birthday. The kidney failed in, I
believe, October, 2013. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:38 | |
I was told that, "It's up to you,
you can start doing dialysis, or you | 0:15:38 | 0:15:44 | |
can get your kidney removed, or you
can enjoy the time you've got left." | 0:15:44 | 0:15:48 | |
I decided to enjoy the time I've got
left. But my body didn't think the | 0:15:48 | 0:15:57 | |
same as me. Eventually, it led to a
situation where she stopped | 0:15:57 | 0:16:03 | |
breathing. But thankfully, they
managed to bring her back. I was | 0:16:03 | 0:16:08 | |
kidney loss again, and back on
dialysis. So, it's like a stop and | 0:16:08 | 0:16:17 | |
start type of life. I've realised
how you've got to stay brave. And | 0:16:17 | 0:16:23 | |
the second thing, I believe, that's
given me a lot of strength is my | 0:16:23 | 0:16:26 | |
family. I know it sounds corny, but
it's true. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:31 | |
This is my room. Please, don't look
in my wardrobe, you'll regret it. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:35 | |
This is the dialysis machine.
Positives, it cleans my brother. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:41 | |
Negatives, too much noise. I've got
it... | 0:16:41 | 0:16:47 | |
I have dialysis four times a week,
four hours per session. I might get | 0:16:47 | 0:16:57 | |
a kidney, I might not. You've got to
be realistic, I'm not the only one | 0:16:57 | 0:17:01 | |
on the list. Hopefully, eventually,
I'll get one. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:08 | |
With same but different, we use the
arts to create greater awareness of | 0:17:08 | 0:17:12 | |
the people behind disability and
rare diseases. Children In Need have | 0:17:12 | 0:17:16 | |
allowed us to create the rare beauty
project. Sabah came along to take | 0:17:16 | 0:17:22 | |
part, so that we could photograph
her for it. Because she is a perfect | 0:17:22 | 0:17:27 | |
role model for so many people,
because she has taken what life's | 0:17:27 | 0:17:31 | |
given her, and she has turned it
around into a really positive | 0:17:31 | 0:17:34 | |
experience.
When I'm on the road, I think one | 0:17:34 | 0:17:38 | |
thing I am going to miss the most is
easily mum's cooking. That's my | 0:17:38 | 0:17:43 | |
Sabah. The hardest part of rickshaw
will be early starts. The last time | 0:17:43 | 0:17:48 | |
I was up at 5am in the morning...
Never! What are you looking forward | 0:17:48 | 0:17:54 | |
to on the rickshaw challenge? Being
part of a team. We all get on really | 0:17:54 | 0:18:01 | |
well.
Please donate what you can. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:08 | |
Sabah is a fighter. As was said in
the BT, she is the perfect role | 0:18:08 | 0:18:13 | |
model. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:16 | |
And if you want to support Sabah,
Team Rickshaw and Children in Need, | 0:18:16 | 0:18:19 | |
you can donate by sending

should have a big round of applause | 0:19:23 | 0:19:28 | |
for that. APPLAUSE
They will be thrilled that Sharon | 0:19:28 | 0:19:35 | |
Osbourne has given them so much
money. Thank you. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:39 | |
Now earlier this evening,
we beamed an image of Sharon's face | 0:19:39 | 0:19:42 | |
across Piccadilly Circus,
and in around five minutes time, | 0:19:42 | 0:19:44 | |
we'll be putting something
very special in Europe's | 0:19:44 | 0:19:46 | |
biggest screen, live. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:47 | |
Before we do, Marty went
to take a closer look. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:52 | |
For over 100 years, their dazzling
glow has illuminated London. But on | 0:19:55 | 0:19:59 | |
the 16th of January this year, the
Piccadilly lights went dark. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:05 | |
They have been turned off briefly in
the past for Winston Churchill and | 0:20:05 | 0:20:09 | |
Princess Diana's funerals, but this
is the longest switch off since | 0:20:09 | 0:20:13 | |
World War II. The lights have been
the backdrop for some of the biggest | 0:20:13 | 0:20:18 | |
events in British history, and have
moved with the times. From | 0:20:18 | 0:20:23 | |
incandescent bulbs in 19 awake, to
neon in 1923, and finally to LED in | 0:20:23 | 0:20:28 | |
2003. But for the past nine months,
they've been undergoing their | 0:20:28 | 0:20:34 | |
biggest makeover yet. Sections of
the new screen are currently being | 0:20:34 | 0:20:38 | |
tested ahead of the big switch on.
And The One Show has been given | 0:20:38 | 0:20:44 | |
exclusive, behind-the-scenes access.
The new screen will packing four | 0:20:44 | 0:20:54 | |
times the number of LEDs into the
same space. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:58 | |
For the people down here looking up
at the screen, how much difference | 0:20:58 | 0:21:01 | |
will it make? I can only compare it
to, say, your TV at home. Having a | 0:21:01 | 0:21:06 | |
standard definition screen, and 4K
to high-definition screen, that | 0:21:06 | 0:21:11 | |
makes a real difference in terms of
the quality of the image. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:17 | |
Replacing six previous screens, the
new one will be the biggest of its | 0:21:17 | 0:21:21 | |
kind in Europe, covering an area
larger than a tennis court and | 0:21:21 | 0:21:26 | |
beeping high-resolution adverts to
an estimated 100 million people a | 0:21:26 | 0:21:30 | |
year. And it's all controlled from a
secret space hidden in the building | 0:21:30 | 0:21:34 | |
behind the screen.
This is the nerve centre, this is | 0:21:34 | 0:21:38 | |
where the screen is controlled from.
It is a secure room. As you can see, | 0:21:38 | 0:21:45 | |
CCTV cameras. Computers control the
giant screen. They are fed from a | 0:21:45 | 0:21:54 | |
central server housed in an
undisclosed location, and there is a | 0:21:54 | 0:21:58 | |
good reason for the secrecy. In
recent years, a number of | 0:21:58 | 0:22:02 | |
high-profile hacks have taken over
public digital displays across | 0:22:02 | 0:22:05 | |
Britain. It is one thing for a
Hacker to take over a local | 0:22:05 | 0:22:11 | |
billboard, losing control of the
biggest screen in Europe would be a | 0:22:11 | 0:22:15 | |
massive PR disaster.
How do you ensure it doesn't happen? | 0:22:15 | 0:22:17 | |
We plan for the worst. We have a
camera that monitors the screen | 0:22:17 | 0:22:22 | |
24-7. If the worst came to the worst
you could hit the stop button. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:27 | |
That's right. We can turn the screen
off remotely. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:33 | |
It is not without its challenges,
Gerard is the site supervisor, and | 0:22:33 | 0:22:38 | |
he is giving me a rare view of
Piccadilly, only seen by the | 0:22:38 | 0:22:42 | |
engineers working on the project.
This is built specially for yourself | 0:22:42 | 0:22:47 | |
and the one Show. Not everyone gets
to see this. I'm not sure I want to. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:52 | |
Do you get used to this? You do,
over time. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:58 | |
How do you go about fitting this
enormous screen on the side of a | 0:22:58 | 0:23:01 | |
building in the middle of London?
The screen is attached to a steel | 0:23:01 | 0:23:05 | |
frame. In here, Marty, you have the
steel structure, running from here, | 0:23:05 | 0:23:11 | |
16 metres right to the roof. Going
round the curve was tricky because | 0:23:11 | 0:23:16 | |
you are going into an old building.
You had to make sure everything was | 0:23:16 | 0:23:21 | |
secured. Thankfully, it was fitted
first time around. The nearly 6000 | 0:23:21 | 0:23:26 | |
LED panels that make up the screen
form a continuous curved surface | 0:23:26 | 0:23:31 | |
waiting 44 times. Despite having
four times the number of pixels, the | 0:23:31 | 0:23:35 | |
new panels would use any more energy
than the old ones. There is just one | 0:23:35 | 0:23:41 | |
more to go.
He is the last panel, if you can do | 0:23:41 | 0:23:46 | |
the honours of eating it. Wow,
excellent. How do I connect it? | 0:23:46 | 0:23:50 | |
Here, you have data in. The fan has
come on. Fitted in here. That was | 0:23:50 | 0:23:57 | |
very satisfying. What remains to be
done with this? Clear the site and | 0:23:57 | 0:24:04 | |
get ready for the switch on.
Over a century after the first | 0:24:04 | 0:24:11 | |
illuminations appeared in Piccadilly
Circus, and London is set to be | 0:24:11 | 0:24:15 | |
dazzled once again. The stage is
set. All that remains to be done is | 0:24:15 | 0:24:20 | |
for the switch to be flipped. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:27 | |
And that switch was flipped this
morning at 7:59am and the brand | 0:24:27 | 0:24:30 | |
new screen went live. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:34 | |
Hello, One Show studio. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:35 | |
Hello, One Show viewers.
Hello, Piccadilly Circus. | 0:24:35 | 0:24:41 | |
We have got people from Kings
College London over here. Not you, | 0:24:41 | 0:24:45 | |
not you, not you either, Tiffany,
you have a harmony band here. We do. | 0:24:45 | 0:24:52 | |
Give us a harmony while I talk to my
friend. Lovely! | 0:24:52 | 0:24:57 | |
And we have our friend, if you
wouldn't mind coming over here, | 0:24:57 | 0:25:03 | |
Sabah stopped behind us is something
special, you had no idea you would | 0:25:03 | 0:25:06 | |
be here today. The big screen has
been queued, look behind you! It's | 0:25:06 | 0:25:14 | |
happened, just like that! Sabah, we
got to see you and your Team | 0:25:14 | 0:25:19 | |
Rickshaw riders on the very big
screen, Europe's biggest, how was it | 0:25:19 | 0:25:25 | |
for you? Honestly, it's amazing. The
last thing I thought, well, | 0:25:25 | 0:25:31 | |
yesterday in the morning, the last
thing I thought I would be doing to | 0:25:31 | 0:25:34 | |
day was the in Piccadilly Circus,
watching myself on a massive screen, | 0:25:34 | 0:25:42 | |
whilst on the one Show. We know
about your story, Sabah, and we | 0:25:42 | 0:25:47 | |
think you are a hero. Can we have a
huge round of applause for Sabah. An | 0:25:47 | 0:25:54 | |
absolute star, best of luck with the
rickshaw ride, you and your family, | 0:25:54 | 0:25:58 | |
we are behind you. Great to see you
out. Me and my friends, we are going | 0:25:58 | 0:26:02 | |
to hang. Back to you. APPLAUSE
Sabah thoroughly deserved that. | 0:26:02 | 0:26:13 | |
You just want to... | 0:26:13 | 0:26:17 | |
It is 15 years since the Osborne 's
were on telly. I wonder what | 0:26:20 | 0:26:26 | |
happened to that time. It went like
that. It started a trend, the | 0:26:26 | 0:26:32 | |
Kardashians, which I love, the real
housewives, which I love, would you | 0:26:32 | 0:26:38 | |
do it again? Do use it as a family
and think, "Gosh, why did we do | 0:26:38 | 0:26:43 | |
that?" What is your take on it? It
was a great experience, we had a | 0:26:43 | 0:26:48 | |
blast doing it, but we wouldn't do
it again. No? And Ozzie has a big | 0:26:48 | 0:26:54 | |
birthday next weekend. Are we
allowed to say? Yes! Happy 70th. | 0:26:54 | 0:27:01 | |
But you said you are not performing
anymore. What I said was, in the | 0:27:01 | 0:27:05 | |
next five years, both Ozzie and
myself, hopefully, will shut our | 0:27:05 | 0:27:12 | |
door and say, right, get the
chocolate out, we're saying in now | 0:27:12 | 0:27:17 | |
but no more dieting or anything
else, we can stay in all the time. | 0:27:17 | 0:27:22 | |
You deserve it. You should have time
together. Ozzy is, like, I want to | 0:27:22 | 0:27:31 | |
keep on. He loves doing what he
does. I feel blessed to work in this | 0:27:31 | 0:27:37 | |
industry, but I also would like some
good time. Will he ever take up | 0:27:37 | 0:27:43 | |
gardening? I can't see it. He would
dig up all the flowers. He doesn't | 0:27:43 | 0:27:47 | |
know a flower from a weed. No idea.
We saw Kelly and Jack at the judges | 0:27:47 | 0:27:53 | |
houses with you, how is Jack now? He
was diagnosed with MS, it must be | 0:27:53 | 0:27:58 | |
hard as a family to deal with. It
is. | 0:27:58 | 0:28:02 | |
Because it doesn't keep to a
pattern. You never know when you are | 0:28:02 | 0:28:05 | |
going to have symptoms. And Eraso
many different symptoms that | 0:28:05 | 0:28:11 | |
happened to you from going blind to
not being able to walk. You never | 0:28:11 | 0:28:15 | |
know. But he deals with it really
well. He is still working, he is the | 0:28:15 | 0:28:21 | |
executive producer on a show you do
in the United States on a show | 0:28:21 | 0:28:29 | |
called Sharon Flipping Osborne.
Argue a of interiors, is that a | 0:28:29 | 0:28:36 | |
passion you have? I would love to
have been an interior designer. If | 0:28:36 | 0:28:43 | |
the format is offered to you in the
UK, any interest? Could you be the | 0:28:43 | 0:28:47 | |
new Laurence Llewelyn Bowen? Oh,
yes! I can see it! Sharon, we are | 0:28:47 | 0:28:54 | |
looking forward to this weekend and
the live shows. It will be amazing. | 0:28:54 | 0:28:57 | |
I can't wait to see your outfit.
Thank you so much. And thank you on | 0:28:57 | 0:29:04 | |
behalf of Team Rickshaw for your
generous donation. They will be | 0:29:04 | 0:29:07 | |
blown away by that. | 0:29:07 | 0:29:10 | |
Thanks to Sharon, the X Factor live
finals begin on ITV this weekend. | 0:29:10 | 0:29:18 | |
Ore will be back tomorrow
when we'll be joined by Harry Hill | 0:29:18 | 0:29:21 | |
and the Stereophonics. | 0:29:21 | 0:29:22 | |
They will perform live for us. See
you then. Have a good evening. | 0:29:22 | 0:29:27 | |
Thanks, Sharon. CHEERING AND
APPLAUSE | 0:29:27 | 0:29:30 |
