27/06/2014 The One Show

Hello. Welcome to The One Show with the worthy farm house and a little

Ginger pig. Our very gorgeous Welsh rarebit. This farm hosts the

biggest, coolest and maddest festival in the world. A few hours

ago, the whole site was powered down. There was a lightning storm.

We stopped rehearsals. And we thought, oh, my goodness me, what is

going to happen? It was another minor blip in the history that is

Glastonbury. They did not care and we got used to it. This is what is

coming up tonight. And insight into how this dairy farm works in

conjunction with over 300,000 muddy feet traipsing across the land. We

help to build a stage. We explore more Somerset landmarks and recreate

an incredible caving feet in Wookey Hole. We got exclusive access to

Blondie. Lily Allen is currently on the stage playing live. Coming up,

we have Lars who has just blown in. We had to say be in on Sunday. --

Kasabian.. Please welcome Ricky Wilson from the Kaiser Chiefs and Ed

Sheeran. You? You kicked off Glastonbury this morning on the

radio. You were very nervous because you took on the challenge rather

admirably of covering Dolly Parton 's 95. How do you think it went? I

think it went OK. I did not realise it was going to be filmed so I did

not bother learning the words. I was holding them. There you are. I am

sure you knew the words. You just wanted to make sure. We only found

out on Wednesday. There is a connection of you with Dolly Parton

because you are following her on the Pyramid stage on Sunday afternoon.

How does one follow her? I am going to whip out a short skirt and a low

cut top and get my jugs out. She will absolutely nailed it!

cut top and get my jugs out. She will It is a very daunting thing

watching her. What is the plan? Come on as soon as I can after her. The

crowd will be whipped into a frenzy. It would be a fantastic atmosphere.

I did a It would be a fantastic atmosphere.

I did Festival when tiny temper was about to go on stage. -- Tiny

Tempah. Matt is out in the field. It is a lock muddier than it was a

couple of hours ago. Where are you? It is looking very, very muddy

indeed. There are amazing thing is to see. The most incredible

spectacle of all was what took place about half an hour ago. We had an

electrical storm, or a series of electrical storms coming across

here. Thunder and lightning with torrential rain coming in. Then the

most beautiful rainbow right across the sky over here. In this

particular part of Glastonbury, this is part of Michael Eavis' as

promised. He said in 1970, what I will bring you is freaks and funny

stuff. It is all here and I am glad the rain has cleared. I am glad the

electrical storm has gone, the lightning and thunder has gone. If

you stick with me, I will show you some freaks and funny stuff and I

think you will enjoy it. Come back and see us in a little bit. The

rainbow appeared just over our rights shoulder. Alex told me not to

point because they disappear. All this happening here is because of

the Eavis family. The farmhouse where they live, the family home, is

just down the track, whether cows live. They live in the mootel. Emily

is responsible for running the whole shebang every year. We went to meet

her dad, Michael, without whom none of this would be happening. It was

1984 when I brought Billy Bragg damn him for his first Glastonbury

appearance. Now, and every year, more than 180,000 people come for

festival fun and music. We all know about Michael Eavis, the Glastonbury

Festival organiser. How many of us know about him, the farmer? This is

still a working dairy farm will stop --. . How are you doing?

still a working dairy farm will stop --. . I have not seen you for years.

Some people would think, when you have an operation like the

Glastonbury Festival and the money it generates, why do you bother

being a farmer? It is all about the cows. The cows come first. The whole

thing is about the cows. Seriously! Sky his relationship with this patch

of some set farmland stretches back to the 19th century. It has been in

my family for 150 years. My family settled in this valley. It is

beautiful. When did you take it over? I was 19 when my father died

of cancer. I picked up his enthusiasm. It has been my home for

ever. There is no better life on this earth than being a dairy farmer

in the middle of Somerset. The dairy herd is central. The cow is a

beautiful animal. I think we had better go and meet the cows.

Glastonbury may be an award-winning visit Festival but this year it is

Michael 's cows that are grabbing the praise. The herd has been

nominated for an award? We have been short listed for the UK dairy Farmer

of the year. That is more important than winning the NME award. Can I

introduce you to Stephen? You are in charge of it all, are you? What

happens to be cows during the Festival? They are all inside. Their

accommodation is 5-star. Does the music have any effect on the cows?

They seem to enjoy it. I would imagine they will like Dolly Parton.

For the past 40 years, balancing the Festival with the farm has become an

obsession with Michael Eavis. This year we reckon he has finally

cracked one of the less glamorous issues. This is the premier long

drop. It is the best long drop we have built in the last 44 years.

They are toilets. You can see the depth in there. It takes all the

excrement for at least a week. I hope no one sees us standing

together in a toilet because people might talk. It goes into arable land

eventually and it all goes back into the soil structure. It is a

connection between the Festival and your beloved farmland. Absolutely.

There have been times when the impact of the Festival has pushed

the farm to the brink. It is the most beautiful valley. I can see why

you have such affection for it. It can get nasty. When it rains heavy

rain, it is no good. It costs more after a muddy festival. It is

important to get every single metal tent peg up. It finds its way into

the silage. Have there been any occasions when you thought you would

not do the Festival again? On the Monday morning after the festival,

there is a fleeting moment when I think, is it really worth it?

Millions of people love it so much. How can I stand in the way of that?

He has proved that having a Festival is good for you. He is 78 years old

and he does not look it at all. Does good looking you'd run in the

family? Yes, it does. Here is Emily Eavis. Just before the show started,

we had a full on power down. We thought, Glastonbury is over for

another year. Not at all. We are back. It was quite dramatic. Things

are running slightly behind but we can cope with it. We have amazing

drainage here and the ground is still quite dry. Do you have to make

the call for a power down? There have been lots of phone calls going

on. All the electricity off and wait to see what happens next. How often

would that happen? It happened in 2005. It has happened a couple of

times through the years. It is not regular. I think Wimbledon will deal

with it tomorrow. It is moving across. Do not talk about the

tennis. They have knocked us off BBC One. We are on BBC Two now. Your dad

has been running Glastonbury since 1971. He had Glastonbury before he

had you effectively. When did you take over the reins? I've started

working on it properly when I was 19. We worked very well together. We

cover different ground. My dad is into loose and roads and

infrastructure and I get really into the design, the ideas, the build and

the various other bits. We come to meant each other that he is still

very much involved. The line-up is your baby. You like stirring things

up a bit. So Bruce Forsyth last year Metallica. Do you like stirring

things up a little bit? We book what we think is good life. That is what

it is all about. It is not about record sales or anything else. It is

not about radio. It is what is about -- it is about what is really

brilliant live. Metallica are amazing live. A lot of people will

come along tomorrow night and think, wow, I cannot leave! We have played

with them in Festival is all around Europe and they always bring a show.

It is what they do. It is what they are built for. They are one of the

best live bands in the world. What is the problem? It definitely was

controversial. Alex from the Artic monkeys think it is a terrible idea.

I do not think he said that. They are going to nail it. What do you

think about Metallica? There's a reason they have been around so

long. It is because they are good. People like them. I think my mum and

dad don't come to festivals, they could watch it and enjoy it. There

have been rumours that Prince would play this year at Glastonbruy. Is

any of that true? No. Definitely not. I can say it here. I have said

it before. I will say next year - no. How do you play

negotiation-ping-pong with Prince? Has it happened? There have been

conversations with him for years. Personally I would not put any money

on him playing. I don't think it will ever happen. Pulp played a

couple of years ago. Anything good this weekend? Normally the surprises

are the bands who like to come here for the weekend, who come

irregardless of the weather. We have loyal people, they are the ones who

go, "Can we do something? " Not normally the ones who don't know

anything about it. There might be stuff open the... We opened the

Other Stage. There'll be more to come? There are all surprises. You

have ten years to get Prince. Congratulations, you have had your

license extended for another ten years at Glastonbruy.

Which council do we thank? Mendip District Council. Who is going to

take away the license? You would have 180,000 people at your door.

Very muddy people at your door. We will ask all our guests tonight to

pick your dream act for the sort of fantasy festival. We have a board

and everything. If you would like to write your dream act - dead or

alive, by the way. Very nice!

Go on. Pass it on. I have changed my mind since you asked me before. I'm

going to go for... The Clash. Some dead, some alive.

Emily, your dream line-up. Of course Emily can make this happen. If it is

dead or alive I probably can't make this happen. Jimi!

Good luck with the rest of the weekend. Thank you for having me. We

are joined tonight by the lovely Fearne Cotton, who will go backstage

to tell us how much work goes into Glastonbruy to bring it to you at

home. I am back stage. This is the

900-acre site. Chris and Alex are here. We are down

here in the BBC Compound. Thank you, my glamorous assistant. These are

some of the 18 trucks we have here, helping to make all the magic

happen. We have 55 cameras on the stages. We walk over a small stream

here which caused problems in 2005 when it flooded massively. It is

looking OK today. Over here you see six live streams from six of the

stages and some lovely chaps in there. Hello, guys. You all right?

Give us a wave! Lovely! We'll have 250-hours worth of TV, radio, live

streaming and on-line footage. We will give you a guide of what you

can see and when. We will chat to Jo Whiley in a bit. Also Guy Garvey

from Elbow. Thank you, Fearne. And Ed, just

tuning up. You are going to play for us later.

I thought that is why I am here! I have no idea. They tell me nothing!

Is this just a father/son picnic. . When I was in school, when I was

six, people said you were my dad. What do you think? I can't see the

autocue we vont got! As Michael mentioned earlier, a lot

of people bring their tents and leave them here. A tent is for life,

not just for festivals! I'm Amber and... And I'm Colin. We

have taken our tent across the world for 40 years now. I showed it to

Colin, he said, who on vert you brought -- what on earth have you

bought that for? I said we don't have to pay for hotels. Let's try

it. This one here we've had 15-18 years. We have travelled from the

Arctic to the Antarctic. We have had to tie it down to every bit of bush.

Do you remember when you gave me my ring. That was in the grand cannon.

The wind would rush up and we would have to brace ourselves to hold on

to the tent. Being in a tent you go to quieter, more remote locations.

You then get the opportunity of seeing a lot more wildlife. My face

was up against this side of the tent. It was below freezing. I hear

a noise outside and realise there was a big, old black bear. I could

hear him sniffing. His fur was brushing the side of the tent as he

walked off. I laid there motionless, before I woke him up and he didn't

experience it. I never heard a thing! It was scary! I tell you!

My family are camping mad. Harry is my craziest child. I camped in a

tent for a year to raise money form my gymnastics club for a new

extension. I stayed in there every day, including Christmas and my

birthday. It started off as a joke, but he's so determined in everything

he does that he managed to stick it for the whole year. It was scary

because I thought a tree might fall down or lightning might hit me or

something. It was really scary. If there was a weekend camping for the

Scouts and we would say, we are too busy, that could cause an argument

and they wouldn't take no for an answer. You are away from everybody.

You are away from technology. If I had to choose between a computer and

my tent, I would choose my tent. I am not good at computers and I get

bored of them. I like camping. I do not do it often. It hurts her back

and she snores too loudly. I'm John. I am Michelle. 2010, it

was the second year I had been to Glastonbruy. Unbeknown to me at the

time, she was there with her friend, Emma. We spent the rest of the week

today. Without a tent and without being where we were in Glastonbruy,

I don't think we would have met each other at all and I don't think we

would be where we are now, would we? Putting up the tent teaches you to

work together more. And I suppose... Have more patience with each other.

This current tent I think we've had for about four years. Three years.

We've only been together four. And it is all right. It stood up to

quite a good battering one summer. It has done us proud. We are trying

to save up for a wedding. It is cheaper camping. We enjoy it, don't

we? Look after your tent and your tent

will look after you. We had such problems putting ours up. We have

the poshest in the world and the strongest... It would seem! Let's

not do any more! We have two generations here. Representing the

20s, we have Ed Sheeran. In his 30s, we have Mr Ricky Wilson from the

Kaiser Chiefs. Now let's go beyond that - the next

generation will be represented by Mr Lars Ulrich from Metallica.

Hello. How are you? I am the old generation. I said the next

generation. I didn't say the old generation. I flew in on your

chopper. Your pilots are soberring up. So you flew through the storm?

All the handlers on the ground were saying, "You flew in this weather? "

We brought the sun and the dry weather. What did Glastonbruy look

like from the air? There was lightning, we thought it was

pyrotechnics. It looked pretty cool and coming in

and seeing a little bit of this in the distance, it was absolutely

fantastic. We were convinced you were not going to get here. Here you

are! We bring the sun. There you go!

Lots of people would say that Metallica are the controversial band

of choose this year. How do you feel about that? We are happy to be here

and it is about time there was a hard rock band that came in and

shock up the foundations a bit. We are not the first band here to show

up with amplifiers and electric guitars and it will all be fine.

Everybody will survive. Everybody out there will have a good time.

Everybody will return home safe and happy on Monday. No worries!

Of course this has happened before. We know you are speaking the truth.

Let's look at Reading in 2008. OK, this is some of what's in store

tomorrow evening on the main stage, at the Pyramid Stage.

Was Reading for you? Reading is always great. We have done it three

or four times. We have done Leeds now, done Leeds twice, maybe. It is

a good festival. We have obviously played up at Donnington a couple of

times and we played pretty much every country's version of

Glastonbruy on and off for 20 years. This is one festival which has

eluded us, but we are here. What is also happening is Wimbledon. We are

not going to Wimbledon. This is 1955, to footage you may not have

seen. Have a look at this. Now, this is actually your dad

winning the third round. Wow! Oh, my God! I have never seen

that before! You may not know that, but that is

Lars' dad in Wimbledon Wimbledon. We burnt that on to a DVD to take home

with you. I am not sure he has seen it. He's 86. A couple of years ago I

was fortunate enough to buy him the house across the street from where I

live. We live right next to each other and we see each other every

day. You can take it back to San Francisco now. Not until you give us

name of your band for our fantasy festival. I am Danish, I grew

newspaper the Danish version of Glastonbruy. In 1979 Bob Marley

headlined and most of the album Babylon was recorded. Right here you

can put that. How do you spell Bob!

Looking good so far. Yes, I would buy a ticket for that! OK, dead or

alive though and very much alive and kicking off on the Pyramid Stage,

behind us, one of the biggest bands, one of the most iconic band since

Glastonbruy has been around - Blondie. What is it like with those

guys? play Glastonbury. This year marks 40

years since the band first formed. I was lucky enough to go backstage and

watch them play. It has taken 33 years and finally I

am backstage with Blondie. Why did you want to play at Glastonbury? We

do a lot of festivals. This one has a very high spiritual content. It is

pretty awesome. I understand the word Glastonbury is high gaily

format. Is that right? No. You are still making music. How important is

that to you? I would not do it if we were not still making music. New

music. You are the coolest people on the planet. What I think we would

like to know is how cool you think each other is? She is up there. He

recently described me as a good-looking nerd. She has this... I

was flattered. She has a focus on a specific thing. How cool is Chris?

Above ten. 100%. We will go to 11. Obviously you guys started in the

1970s, the early 70s. For some reason, I regard you as British

property. We were in the US for a long time but lots of people thought

we were UK-based. You had a new age sound. We love you. We like it here.

I have been in London more times than I have been in Los Angeles. It

is one of our biggest markets. That does sound a bit consumerist. We

have kids and so I need to keep working. Thank you. Brilliant. More

Blondie straight after us on BBC Four. I have a text in from Alex 's

mum. She said, be careful. Without your health, you have nothing.

Fearne Cotton, what are you up to now, my friend? I am about to tell

you what you can see over this weekend on the BBC. Most

festivalgoers will have a schedule of what they want to go and see full

if you are watching at home on the television, say you are feeling

fruity, you might want to go to BBC Three and watch Lana Del Rey, who is

fantastic live. What about Jack White? He will be on at 8pm on

Saturday. How about BBC Four? Robert Plant is playing at 8pm on Saturday

and Bryan Ferry on Saturday. On BBC Two, you have Metallica at 9:30pm on

Saturday and the one and only Dolly Parton. Rumours are there will be a

flash dance where everyone will have learned the routine. Jo Whiley is

just sitting here very casually waiting to go on television later. I

must ask the Glastonbury veteran about your very own tips for this

weekend. I really love John Grant. And Dolly Parton. Who is not going

to see her on the site? Sam Smith is on at the same time but I think

everyone will be there for Dolly Parton. You have loved the festival

for a long time. How does this compare? It is a proper event in

people 's lives, a holiday. I was speaking to Paolo Nutini earlier on

and he is well up for it. I am excited about what he will do. Simon

Gray have a great show tonight. -- have a great show tonight. Here is

Guy Garvey. Head of your set tonight and you have become the Glastonbury

Sunset bad. That sounds like a retirement home. It is a lovely

moment for you to play at that time of day. How are you feeling about

it? You'll AI would get nervous. It is the warmest crowd in the world.

-- I always get nervous. It is your first number one album. Who would

have thought it? Will you have time to enjoy what Glastonbury have to

offer? I am not sure. Would you watch Metallica and Dolly Parton?

Inspired choices. They will both get the great reaction. I think we will

see scenes during Metallica that Glastonbury has never seen. The sun

has come out for your set. It is all down to you guys. Elbow are

responsible for the sun. We love it. You had better get ready for your

set. Break a leg. Back to you. I love a bit of Elbow. Guy Garvey from

Elbow. High expectations of Metallica. He says they will rock

the joint. We would love an inflatable at the festival. It is a

small version of our inflatable. It is going to get a little bigger as

the festival progresses. There you go. Worthy of the farm. The BBC or

weekend this weekend, you have BBC One, BBC Two, BBC Three and BBC

Four. Also coverage on the red button and the internet with Radio

One Xtra, Radio 2 and the special Glastonbury app. I suppose you are

veterans here. You have laid here so many times. Tonight will be the

fifth time we have played. It is not that many that I have enjoyed

everyone. It keeps getting better. It is brilliant. I love it. Lets see

how it all began with Glastonbury and the Kaiser Chiefs.

Who was the lead singer? That was my older brother. Rock and roll has

been good to you. You look better, you look slimmer. Yes. It has been

good to me. Have you be rewritten your plan? Were you having a riot?

Did you think it was about scalability? Did you have to change

something? I was having a very good time in 2005. I still having a very

good time but more on stage than off, if you know what I mean will

stop where are the Kaiser Chiefs going? You have a new single. What

is it called? Meanwhile Up In Heaven. I was trying to write a

serious song about things... The ban was almost taken away from us when a

former member left. -- the band. Sometimes it takes something taken

away from you to realise you need it in your life. There is nothing wrong

with a near miss. It is a wake-up call. 33 years together in

Metallica. Have you ever split up? We have been very close to splitting

up. We had a rough patch about ten, 12, 15 years ago. We were trying to

get to know each other really for the first time and sort of spent a

little bit of time working certain things out. It has been smooth

sailing for the better part of the last ten years. You cannot split

up, it is just you on your own. Sky I may have a split personality!

There is no splitting up in Glastonbury. A very antics setting,

especially for one couple. -- romantic setting. You are going to

be part of something incredibly special here but we have to keep it

a secret. I you up for being part of the flash mob? It is happening right

now. She said yes. She said yes. She said

yes! And she said yes. Congratulations,

Amanda. When is the wedding? Next year at Glastonbury. Will you play

our wedding? It is where we are going and we get the Pyramid Stage.

We are going straight to your wedding. We can find that.

Congratulations, well done! I am sure more relationships will occur

over the weekend. Over the years, since 1971 when it started,

Glastonbury has been responsible for many marriages and several thousand

divorces. Moving straight along, when the festival is in full flow

like this, the population is bigger than Oxford and Dundee. The site is

bigger than Middlesbrough and the Isle of Wight. It is not just

growing outwards, it is growing upwards. After the festival, the

party is just beginning. Festival goers in the know make a beeline to

a place called Block nine. It is run by two set designers who decided to

create a unique music venue for the festival. Bringing this slice of the

Big Apple to Somerset starts well in advance of the festival opening. I

went along to see how it all comes together. With all due respect,

where are we? Here we have the New York traffic lights with fully

operational don't walk signs. These will be dancers pages. Do you panic

a bit? It is kind of a giant jigsaw puzzle. In my mind, we aren't

downtown New York in 1989. puzzle. In my mind, we aren't

downtown A second set is also under construction. It is called the

London underground. That is a serious amount of scaffolding. It is

18 tonnes. This will become a replica of an East London tower

block. This is the underground tube train. This one only weighs one

tonne and is made out of plywood. Am I right in thinking this will get up

to there? It looks like it has smashed through the building. Let's

do it. A 60 tonne crane lists the tube onto the scaffolding. I need to

keep it straight and steady. I do feel a bit inadequate. He has loads

more kit than me will stop slowly but surely, the carriage rises into

position will stop -- position. A tonne of cheap train is hanging

right there. Not exactly in my hands but in the crane 's hands. I feel

responsible. It is up there. It looks good. We are Lee happy.

responsible. It is up there. It looks good. We are Lee It went very

smoothly. All good. -- we are really happy. A mammoth operation follows

to get it ready. The end result is breathtaking. This is amazing. The

last time I was here, it was like a field with scaffolding in it. It

looks like New York. As for London Underground - that is generous! Am I

actually in Somerset? A lady offered to show me around.

Welcome to the download. Beautiful! Are you going to show me around?

Yes. Let's teach you how to Vogue, darling!

It's absolutely heaving in there. It is brilliant! Right, I am going to

check out the London Underground! This is the weirdest thing!

Have a look in here! I am inside a fridge!

Look at the fridge! That was the most bizarre entrance

to a club ever! It is my first time at Glastonbruy.

I have to say I am truly blown away here at the events at Block Nine. If

you thought it was all about mud and bands - think again! There is so

much more to it than that! Come a long way since 1971 when it

started. Just 1500 people came, it was ?1 to get in. There was free

milk from the dairy and T-rex played on the main stage. Michael couldn't

afford to pay T-rex, so he paid Mark Bolan in milk! He got paid in milk.

There you go! Are you getting paid in milk

tomorrow? I am going to pick up that thread, yes!

Metallic-lactos! Nearly had a joke there!

I am mounted on th marvellous mechanical beast! It is part of the

things that Michael Eavis promised all the years ago. Yes, a pint of

milk was that promise, as was reasonably priced food. But this

freakery - it is worth remembering it is a performing art festival. Is

this actually art? Let's look at some of it and you can make up your

mind at home. For instance, Captain Kid - is it art or not art? OK, they

think it is art. Thank you very much Captain Kid. How about this guy -

famous Rubber Band Boy. Two times record holder. It is amazing,

upsetting in many ways. The question we want to know the answer to, is it

art or not art? Art! They say it is art. OK, let's look

at this remarkable gentleman, Mr Manx. Yes, he eats a sword. Sorry if

you have had your tea. With all these stunts, can I remind you not

to try them at home or anywhere else. It is incredible! Is it art or

not art? Art! OK! Yes, I think we have proved conclusively that it is

art. How about this - people putting the art into Dolly Parton. It is the

Dolly Mob, they are from a performing group. They are paying

musical tribute to Dolly Parton, who performs here on Sunday. I think it

is art. Do you think it is art? Art. There is a definition of art. If

people would queue up to see it, it is art. If they would pay to see it,

it is art. But if you saw it in a skip, it wouldn't be art.

Right! So you would cue to see Dolly dance - that is art. By the way -

the sword thing, don't try it at home. Anywhere! If you find yourself

talking about it, it is art already. We would not take this sofa out. We

could because it is drenched, so we took the inflatable green sofa out

to see how you were enjoying Glastonbruy.

-- Glastonbury. This year tickets sold very quickly.

I have not long to see how quickly people snapped up the tickets. You

people snapped up the tickets. normally work in a warehouse and

here you are, liberated. Why is it so special to you? It is an

escapism. It is escaping the real world. It is about chilling out,

being yourself, being with lots of cool people. You are an teaks

dealer. I am. When I think of antiques dealers, I don't think of a

guy like yourself! You work in construction. Have you

put your tent up? It was so easy for me. I sat with a can of cider. What

does glastonbury mean to you? When I think of the green and pleasant land

- that is what I think of. The left fields, the green field, the weird

tents that is what I think of when I sing the words in Jerusalem.

What does it mean to you? I think it means an opportunity for

everybody to express themselves in every way they would like. So many

of the bapds I don't know, but -- bands I don't know, but it is more

about the people. I thought it was just me who didn't know all the

bands. I don't know - we're old! We're not old!

It is not just any old mud, it is Glastonbury mud! That is the mud you

want at the end of the summer! Blimey - the sun has really come

out. You'll be burning now! Factor 50 for

Christof! Ed Sheeran is with us. You have a

farm - you are a fellow farm owner. I moved from the countryside, I

moved back and now I live in the countryside. Tell us about your

farm? It doesn't have any animals on it. It there is a field, there is

flooding. You told me I need to get two goats. Like-for-like. What about

a llama? That is fine. One of those fake micropigs they sell you that

grow into a big pig. There is no such thing as a micropig. They get

big and evict you out of your own house. Is it because you harbour

dreams of having your own festival on your farm? No. Ed-Fest!

No, I like living where I am living. I wouldn't mind 180,000 people doing

their business in port ta toilets. That would be interesting to have.

You have cornered the market because your album is number one. The deluxe

album is number one and your album is number two. Congratulations.

Don't blame it on the week. You are a busy man here. What does the

weekend hold in store for you? I have the day off tomorrow, which is

a rarity. I will sleep. Sunday I am playing at 6pm on the main stage. I

did the Rudimental set today. I did my song and they got taken off the

stage. Ed will play us out by the way. There is stone hedge down the

road. What about Wookey Hole? Our friend, Andy, went down there to do

something interesting. Deep in Somerset are the caves of

Wookey Hole. They were formed 200 million years ago by the co-rogues

of limestone. Eventually the river merges here at

Wookey Hole and the archaeological evidence has shown that people have

lived in and around these caves for 50,000 years. It is man's

exploration of the watery depths which has brought me here today.

Visitors come from all over the world to explore the subterranean

caves. This was at far as anyone could go - this is chamber three.

There was a belief that as the river flowed on its underground

one-and-a-half mile journey it could have carved out more like this one

and the challenge was on to find them. So, in 1935, a group led by

Graham Balcombe made one of the first ever cave dives, into the

depths of the third chamber to see what lay beyond. Snoo know, nearly 8

-- Now, nearly 80 years on I will repeat that. This is a privilege,

but a real challenge. It is bulky and very heavy. Peter is from the

Historical Diving Society. The helmet, they were made of copper and

bronds. Weighs about -- bronze. Wiegs about 18 kilos. When you add

the boots they come in at eight kilos each. 12 stone, plus. That is

more than I weigh. There is a hose about 30 metres

long. There was a lot more pipe, so I hope there's enough to get me to

chamber four. There is a communication line, so I can speak

to the team top-side. There is a secondary purpose as well. The

telephone line also acts as the safety line. If all else fails, we

can pull you out on. That Even today cave diving can be dangerous. Back

then these pioneers were venturing into deep, dark water, with little

knowledge of what lay beyond. I am all kited up.

-- kitted up. The depth of the water eventually

goes down to around three metres. For a while I will be able to walk

on the river bed. Although the air is pumped from the surface, I have

to regulate it myself. As I venture further in, I find the

flow is stronger than I anticipated. Luckily there is a rope to help me

pull myself along. Of course that wouldn't have been here on that

first dive. You have 15 feet left. I am virtually on my belly. I can

see chamber four. I think I have a problem. You have no more hose left.

Although I cannot surface in chamber four, my camera man can. Getting the

view that would have been experienced on that very first dive.

There should be renewed respect for the amount of physical and mental

effort and bravery required for those first divers who pioneered

these caves. As equipment has improved, a further 21 chambers have

been found. The exploration goes on as people continue to push the

boundaries of cave diving at Wookey Hole. A lovely film. That is almost

it from The One Show's special Glastonbury programme. Thank you for

being here. On the main stage, BBC Two, from 9pm. Ricky Wilson has been

here too. BBC Three, tonight, 9.45pm. Ed Sheeran, Sunday

afternoon, also on BBC Three. Enjoy all the coverage across the BBC. To

play us out is Ed Sheeran. He is a singing Thinking Out Loud.

# When your legs don't work like they used to before

# And I can't sweep you off your feet

# Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love

# Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks

# Darling I will # Be loving you till we're 70

# Baby my heart could still fall as hard

# At 23. # And I'm thinking about how

# People fall in love in mysterious ways

# Maybe it's all a touch of a hand # Me, I've fallen in love with you

every single day # And I just want to tell you I am

# That baby now # Take me into your loving arms

# Kiss me under the light of 1,000 stars

# Place your head on my beating heart

# I'm thinking out loud # Maybe we found love

# Right where we
