:00:25. > :00:31.Welcome to The One Show with Matt Baker. And Alex Jones. It seems

:00:31. > :00:35.like everybody has a signature pose. There is the Mobot and the

:00:35. > :00:41.Lightning Bolt. They owe it all to one man who perfected the

:00:41. > :00:51.personality pose long before they were even born.

:00:51. > :00:54.

:00:54. > :01:02.Who else could it be but... Has Sir Yes! Lovely to see you. Lovely to

:01:02. > :01:08.see you. Lovely to see you. Wonderful. Oh, the applause has

:01:08. > :01:16.stop! Have you see my entourage? What a lovely start. That is an

:01:16. > :01:21.image, how did that come about? accident, actually. James Moir, Jim

:01:21. > :01:27.Moir, bless his heart, the producer of the Generation Game, when we

:01:27. > :01:31.started he said, we will start with you just standing, you know? And

:01:31. > :01:36.then the light will hit you when you are standing there. He said,

:01:36. > :01:40.give it a couple of beats and then walk forward. And I said, all right,

:01:40. > :01:47.fine. And I thought about it and I thought, I don't want to just be

:01:47. > :01:52.standing there. And just before, just for a joke, I thought, I will

:01:52. > :01:56.do this pose. And I did it, it got a laugh with all the crew and

:01:56. > :02:01.everything and Jim came to me and said, would you do that? I said, I

:02:01. > :02:07.only did it for the crew to give them a bit of a laugh. He said,

:02:07. > :02:17.well, it looked very funny, why don't you? It has stuck ever since.

:02:17. > :02:24.And that was in 1971. Was it really?! Don't say I'll! None of

:02:24. > :02:30.them were born! Oh, dear! They were the days. It was not a live show,

:02:30. > :02:36.but we did the first 40 minutes of its alive, we'd only to the endgame

:02:36. > :02:40.where we had a break. -- we did the first 40 minutes of it live. You

:02:40. > :02:44.never know what would happen, I love to be in a show when you don't

:02:44. > :02:47.know what will happen. We will talk about your incredible career

:02:47. > :02:52.throughout the programme, but first the number of flood warnings may be

:02:52. > :02:57.decreasing but the misery continued today as rivers kept rising. Lucy

:02:57. > :03:00.has been to one of the first hit areas, St Asaph in North Wales,

:03:00. > :03:04.where people were evacuated from their homes after the river burst

:03:04. > :03:08.its banks. I am just standing here watching this West to take place.

:03:09. > :03:12.The waters have risen so quickly they have been trapped in these

:03:12. > :03:18.houses here and people are getting into dinghies with one small bag of

:03:18. > :03:22.possessions, off they go. It is quite dramatic to witness. A mobile

:03:22. > :03:28.home almost on its side. These bungalows where retired people live

:03:28. > :03:32.on the banks of the River Elwy have almost submerged. The emergency

:03:32. > :03:37.services around the corner. The boat is around here. One minute,

:03:37. > :03:43.they will come round. What are the factors that have made

:03:43. > :03:48.it quite bad here? What we have seen over the last day or so is

:03:48. > :03:53.really heavy rain in an area which has been rained on for many days.

:03:53. > :03:58.The river has had no where to go. The town itself is protected from

:03:58. > :04:02.flooding by flood banks but eventually they were overturned.

:04:02. > :04:08.can see people still in these properties, they obviously have not

:04:08. > :04:12.been evacuated or managed to get out. Not everyone really believes

:04:12. > :04:16.the flood will happen until they see it. So when you put out a

:04:16. > :04:23.severe flood warning, you mean it, basically? We mean it is severe, a

:04:23. > :04:27.risk to life. Many people made themselves safe. We believe the

:04:27. > :04:31.warnings work as effectively as they could have. High tide is

:04:32. > :04:35.expected at around 10pm, what will tonight bring? Fortunately we have

:04:35. > :04:39.seen the worst of the weather for the next few days. Looking further

:04:39. > :04:42.ahead we will assess what happened in terms of the flood, we will be

:04:42. > :04:46.looking at defences to see what needs to be done to bring them back

:04:46. > :04:49.up to standard again fobbing any damage, and then second be to see

:04:49. > :04:53.whether they can be improved -- up to standard again following any

:04:53. > :04:58.damage. Just incredible to see some of the

:04:58. > :05:02.rescues. We heard that the body of an elderly lady has been found in

:05:02. > :05:06.St asset, so our thoughts go out to her friends and family.

:05:06. > :05:13.We wish good luck to everybody still being affected by the floods.

:05:13. > :05:18.This is incredible. Absolutely terrible. In the snow I have been

:05:18. > :05:21.like that, you will be driving as far as you could and you have 8 ft

:05:21. > :05:25.snowdrift cyber side of you, and then you would go until you could

:05:25. > :05:30.go no more and then find a house, not on the door and say, can I come

:05:30. > :05:34.in? Are a bit of refuge. The speed at this -- at which the water is

:05:34. > :05:39.hitting. Devastating, I can't believe how these people are

:05:39. > :05:44.managing, seeing all your possessions for a link around.

:05:44. > :05:48.Absolutely dreadful. Should an apprenticeship be worth

:05:48. > :05:53.the same as a degree? That is the recommendation of a review out

:05:53. > :05:57.today. We know at least one man who would support it. We first met Sir

:05:57. > :06:00.Willie Haughey in March, since then he has kick-started an

:06:00. > :06:05.apprenticeship revolution and Declan Lawn has clocked in to see

:06:05. > :06:10.what Sir Willie has achieved. Youth unemployment here in Scotland

:06:10. > :06:15.is running at 100,000. Across the hall of the UK it is just short of

:06:15. > :06:20.a million. Now Sir Willie Haughey wants to make a major dent in those

:06:20. > :06:23.figures even if it means doing it one job at a time.

:06:24. > :06:27.We first met Glaswegian entrepreneur Sir Willie on The One

:06:27. > :06:32.Show in March this year, when he told us about his apprenticeship

:06:32. > :06:36.scheme. He has so far funded work for 87 unemployed young people on

:06:36. > :06:41.two and three-year apprenticeships. Young people coming into a business

:06:41. > :06:50.stops you from being a stale, they bring freshness, new ideas, they

:06:50. > :06:53.really reinvigorate a business. soberly has set up a scheme called

:06:53. > :06:56.Youth With Hope, to encourage other businesses to take apprenticeships.

:06:56. > :07:02.He is speaking to Scottish entrepreneurs to convince them to

:07:02. > :07:07.sign up. I am trying to take a huge problem and make it into a million

:07:07. > :07:11.small pieces. There are 4.8 million businesses in the UK, if only 1

:07:11. > :07:15.million of these businesses making profits could come -- could be

:07:15. > :07:25.convinced to take on one young person, hopefully we can make

:07:25. > :07:26.

:07:26. > :07:33.things better for the young people. Thanks very much for listening.

:07:33. > :07:37.This whole initiative is fantastic. It is a different approach. It

:07:37. > :07:40.takes it away from a government issue and a social issue to be in

:07:40. > :07:42.something going back to industry and asking them to take

:07:42. > :07:48.responsibility for what needs to happen.

:07:48. > :07:52.One of the many unemployed youths was Liam, who left school at 15.

:07:52. > :07:56.Until three months ago he was homeless and living in hostels and

:07:56. > :08:01.his girlfriend was pregnant. Didn't have a job, didn't have any

:08:01. > :08:05.prospect, didn't have a future. weeks after moving into a council

:08:05. > :08:10.flat he was given a job as an apprentice gas engineer at one of

:08:10. > :08:15.Sir Willie's companies. I have got this apprenticeship, I know how to

:08:15. > :08:20.deal with customers and I am learning lots about boilers and

:08:20. > :08:24.central-heating systems to get a career for life, basically. It is

:08:24. > :08:27.four days since his speech to Glasgow's business leaders and Sir

:08:27. > :08:31.Willie is following up on interest on his scheme. What are you hoping

:08:31. > :08:35.to get out of the meeting? You want them to accept at least one

:08:35. > :08:40.apprentice? Yes. I think he already has come I'd like to convince him

:08:40. > :08:43.to take one more, he is a big enough business. James Mortimer

:08:43. > :08:49.owns several bars and restaurants in Glasgow city centre. He started

:08:49. > :08:52.at the bottom and worked his way up, like Sir Willie. I started as a

:08:53. > :08:59.barman, I moved up the ladder. All these people you get the same

:08:59. > :09:04.chance. It is an apprentice chef you have, is that right? Yes.

:09:04. > :09:09.will come in for two or three years and leave as a qualified...?

:09:09. > :09:12.Qualified, and if he wants to stay, there was a position year. That is

:09:13. > :09:18.a criticism, having apprentices is fine but what happens after three

:09:18. > :09:23.years? The jobs here, they can move up a ladder. He was telling me in

:09:23. > :09:27.the car he would try to persuade you to take two, not one apprentice.

:09:27. > :09:33.Seeing it is coming up for a busy, busy period, I would agree to take

:09:33. > :09:38.two. That is fantastic. I think you should Sheikh Ahmad. He is a man of

:09:38. > :09:43.his word. But that is a lovely Christmas present for two kids.

:09:44. > :09:49.I think you should Sheikh Ahmad. In two weeks, the scheme has signed

:09:49. > :09:53.up more than 250 youngsters. Has any of it be more difficult

:09:54. > :09:59.than you expected? I have had some negative comments but I can't wait

:09:59. > :10:05.to hear them so I can bat them off, every business, for me, can afford

:10:05. > :10:13.to take on a young person. There are not enough people like him. He

:10:13. > :10:17.has changed my attitude towards life, basically.

:10:17. > :10:21.A viewer has e-mailed a question on this apprenticeship subject. It

:10:21. > :10:29.says, is the problem that the older ones won't retire and let the

:10:30. > :10:38.younger ones have a go? LAUGHTER. That is from a Mr Graham Norton!

:10:38. > :10:43.Graham Norton?! That is terrible! Really bad! I expected it from Matt

:10:43. > :10:49.Baker, but not from you. They are leading me down the wrong path.

:10:49. > :10:53.all seriousness, you started your apprenticeship 70 years ago, at 14

:10:53. > :10:57.years old, Boy Bruce the Mighty Atom -- Boy Bruce the Mighty Atom.

:10:57. > :11:04.You could leave school. During the war you could leave school at 14

:11:04. > :11:08.years. I hated school, I really did. I couldn't wait to get into

:11:08. > :11:14.showbusiness. That was it, Boy Bruce the Mighty Atom. What was the

:11:14. > :11:19.act, the mighty atom? Really bad. I was a page boy going to the hotel

:11:19. > :11:26.and I was carrying more the bags from the railway station, you see?

:11:26. > :11:31.A ukelele, banjo, my accordion, even my tap mat. I would come on

:11:31. > :11:37.stage and say, I wonder what kind of an act they are? I could play

:11:37. > :11:42.ukelele, then play the accordion, not very well but enough. Then I

:11:42. > :11:51.got the tap mats down. It was him trying to be a professional

:11:51. > :11:57.entertainer. And it was dreadful. LAUGHTER. In old money I got a 13

:11:57. > :12:03.and fourpence. That would be 65p for a week's work. But it was a

:12:03. > :12:09.start. I was in show business. is good value for that! You are

:12:10. > :12:12.back on stage now with Bruce Live. It is three shows, Salford,

:12:13. > :12:17.Birmingham and the Royal Albert Hall? Funnily enough I announced I

:12:17. > :12:23.was going to the Royal Albert Hall last year and edited this year in

:12:23. > :12:29.May, I didn't know what to expect. -- and I did it in May. I thought

:12:29. > :12:33.maybe it was a venue too far, I thought it could be a disaster but

:12:33. > :12:37.at my age, who cares? What would it matter if it all goes down the

:12:37. > :12:43.drain? But it was one of the greatest nights of my life. Was it

:12:43. > :12:48.really? The audience was wonderful. I did what I love to do - sing,

:12:48. > :12:55.dance, play the piano, involve the audience, do all the things that I

:12:55. > :12:59.do when I am having fun on stage. And they were marvellous. It was so

:12:59. > :13:07.good that I booked to come back next year, June the third instead

:13:07. > :13:11.of May 3rd, and I cannot wait. It was rejuvenation, I tell you. I

:13:11. > :13:17.couldn't believe and 84 year-old variety artist, as I am, somebody

:13:17. > :13:23.who does may be a 10 minute spots, could go one and do two-and-a-half

:13:23. > :13:28.hours. And they stayed! LAUGHTER. Is the plan to do a

:13:28. > :13:38.couple of hours, will it be a long show? Not as long as Ken Dodd, but

:13:38. > :13:38.

:13:38. > :13:46.long. And I have an orchestra. are wonderful. And we had a string

:13:46. > :13:51.section. 0, it was wonderful. And the top musicians in the country.

:13:51. > :13:56.They really were a great. Anything I wanted to do, I could do, it was

:13:56. > :14:02.wonderful. And you are back at the Royal Albert Hall -- you were back

:14:02. > :14:08.at the Royal Albert Hall last week? Doing your 13th and their 100th

:14:08. > :14:13.role Friday performances? The show is only 16 years older than me!

:14:13. > :14:17.That is why I went there. It was a great talk -- atmosphere, I was in

:14:17. > :14:26.the dressing room with Jimmy Tarbuck, Ronnie Corbett, Alan Carr,

:14:26. > :14:31.Des O'Connor and Bill Bailey, who was wonderful. You sit there and

:14:31. > :14:37.you have laughs. But it does go far wrong time. I actually sat in the

:14:37. > :14:44.dressing room from 5 o'clock until 8 o'clock, three hours to get

:14:44. > :14:48.nervous. That is a long time. can't get nervous? I do. Before I

:14:48. > :14:53.go on I am standing there and the other meat turns up and gives me

:14:53. > :15:03.the courage and then I rush on and I am this brash idiot that we have

:15:03. > :15:03.

:15:03. > :15:13.I could sit and listen to you all night long. But we haven't got the

:15:13. > :15:14.

:15:14. > :15:18.time. What a shame! Some things just go out of fashion as tastes

:15:19. > :15:25.change. Jay Rayner has got himself into a pickle about a particularly

:15:25. > :15:30.eggy pub snack. There was a time when no self-respecting PUP would

:15:30. > :15:35.be without a jar of pickled eggs. But these days you are more likely

:15:35. > :15:42.to find a dish of wasabi peas than a pickle, so what's gone wrong? Why

:15:42. > :15:47.has the modern drinker fallen out of love with the noble pickled egg?

:15:47. > :15:53.In Ross-on-Wye, the landlord Chris Burgess has and served pickled eggs

:15:53. > :15:56.for some time. They were and something that sold. The type of

:15:56. > :16:01.customers we attract aren't interested. Pickled eggs, if you've

:16:01. > :16:06.ever have one, you regret it the minute to bite into it. Wasabi peas,

:16:07. > :16:12.spicy peanut - do they serve well? They do, we serve them in shot

:16:12. > :16:16.glasses at eight quid a time there. But I'd challenged Chris to give

:16:16. > :16:20.Pickles a reprieve. He's agreed that for just one day it is pickled

:16:20. > :16:27.snacks only at the bar. But will the punters still have a taste for

:16:27. > :16:32.them? In the kitchen, pickling expert Sarah Miller is sure she can

:16:32. > :16:35.reinvent the pickle. I'm going to do some pickled asparagus, which is

:16:35. > :16:39.beautiful because most people just have asparagus in the spring, and

:16:39. > :16:44.this is a way of being able to enjoy it through the winter months.

:16:44. > :16:49.And we will do pickled chillies, quite a hot one. The pickling

:16:49. > :16:54.process actually adds heat to be chillies. It adds heat! Looking

:16:54. > :17:00.forward to this. She is careful to some of the asparagus for just a

:17:00. > :17:06.minute to retain crunch. This, your pickling spice. Coriander seeds,

:17:06. > :17:13.dried red chillies. Oregano, black pepper, then maybe some cloves in

:17:13. > :17:16.there. A little bit of ginger. are ready for the pickling. Malt

:17:17. > :17:22.vinegar will work just fine, but white wine vinegar, bowled with

:17:22. > :17:29.water and Amiens, is the basis for the liquor. Carefully pour it in.

:17:29. > :17:33.Paul in hot, the liquor is a failed to write to the top. This batch

:17:33. > :17:36.will be good after a couple of days but the flavours will really mature

:17:36. > :17:40.in the weeks and months to come. The pickled chillies are even

:17:40. > :17:48.easier. They are simmered in pickling liquor with onions and

:17:48. > :17:56.garlic for five minutes. Sarah has even brought a pickled desert to

:17:56. > :18:01.the pub - a pickled pear. That's fantastic. It's sweet, it tastes of

:18:02. > :18:06.a pair, but you get acidity and a lot of spies. The clove taste,

:18:06. > :18:09.that's really good. So it's time to see whether the locals can

:18:09. > :18:13.rediscover a taste for the pickle. Sarah has brought along some

:18:13. > :18:23.pickles that have been made during for a few weeks and are ready to

:18:23. > :18:24.

:18:24. > :18:30.eat. Could I interest you in a pickle asparagus? Yes. Dive in.

:18:30. > :18:37.Delicious. Cronje, lovely. You can taste the asparagus, but all I

:18:37. > :18:43.could taste is the vinegar. about hot chillies? That is quite

:18:43. > :18:51.sweet, actually. It is at the moment! I spoke too soon. Pickles

:18:51. > :18:55.may have gone with a will but surely not with wine! It's official,

:18:55. > :19:03.pickled asparagus and red wine do go together. And how about the

:19:03. > :19:11.pickled pear? Lovely. Is that good? Delicious. And there's even a deep

:19:11. > :19:18.OT of the old fashioned pickled egg. Memories! I don't know why people

:19:18. > :19:21.don't have them any more. In seems British drinkers can rediscover an

:19:21. > :19:28.appetite for Pickles. It is the landlord convinced enough to have

:19:28. > :19:33.them back? I think the pickled asparagus was lovely and crunchy. A

:19:33. > :19:37.slightly spicy finish to it. Nobody complains about paying �1.50 for a

:19:37. > :19:42.shot glass full of olives, so there is no reason why it shouldn't sit

:19:42. > :19:46.in that same price margin. So it has been rescued from 1970s

:19:46. > :19:51.obscurity, the next thing you know we will all be wearing flares!

:19:51. > :19:59.Barman, a pint of your finest and a bowl of pickled chillies. Be cold

:19:59. > :20:02.asparagus? That wasn't a new one, I've had them roasted, grilled, I'm

:20:02. > :20:09.a man of the world! I've come across it in many forms but never

:20:09. > :20:15.before had I had it pickled. you a fan of pickled eggs? I like

:20:15. > :20:20.hard-boiled eggs, is it the same thing? I've never tried it. I will

:20:20. > :20:25.just sit here and watch. That's not bad. Do you think it's something

:20:25. > :20:31.that ought to be back? It's like egg mayonnaise. What is the

:20:31. > :20:35.difference? It's been in a big job of vinegar for about a month. With

:20:35. > :20:42.all of that dirty water! Anything that is swimming in there is just

:20:42. > :20:50.extra protein. It's gone all over! Nobles are still as popular, aren't

:20:50. > :20:54.they? Yes. We spent �55 per year per head on these snacks. But they

:20:54. > :21:04.have been going up in the world. We used to have pork scratchings, but

:21:04. > :21:08.

:21:08. > :21:15.now there are places with pork crackling. There's some apple sauce.

:21:15. > :21:22.What is that? Apple sauce. Pistachios are very popular. You

:21:22. > :21:28.sit there and eat the popcorn. Popcorn has boomed. Can I have a

:21:28. > :21:36.doggy bag? Yes. That's curry flavoured popcorn. It has really

:21:36. > :21:41.gone up in the world. We spend about �50 million a year on popcorn.

:21:41. > :21:49.The nation spends that. The flavours have really changed.

:21:49. > :21:55.are you going to put the film on? While we are on the subject of food,

:21:55. > :22:02.are you a fan of turkey leftovers? We've got something coming up.

:22:02. > :22:07.love the stuffing. I don't like Turkey very much. It's very

:22:07. > :22:16.ordinary for me. It doesn't have a meaty taste. But the stuffing, if

:22:16. > :22:23.it is plain... The Sage and Anyon. Let's see if we can come up with a

:24:27. > :24:35.top would take a long time. He famously said it took him 40 years

:24:35. > :24:39.to have an overnight success. His journey began as Billy White in

:24:39. > :24:45.1923. Born out of wedlock, his mother handed him over at Nuneaton

:24:45. > :24:50.Station to a new foster family at just two week old. From then on,

:24:50. > :24:54.he'd see his mother only once a month. Michael is his nephew.

:24:54. > :24:58.far as I know, they didn't have a close relationship. I remember him

:24:58. > :25:02.saying, I'm really a living, breathing the stake. But his

:25:02. > :25:10.surrogate mother was the one who looked after him and brought him up.

:25:10. > :25:15.He looked on her as his mum. Largely raised by the women of the

:25:15. > :25:20.family, he loved performing for them in the front room. Susan

:25:29. > :25:35.raised a few eyebrows. It is larger than life characters came from real

:25:35. > :25:40.life at home, here in Clifton Terrace. This is where they used to

:25:40. > :25:44.be a phone. The only phone in the street. The neighbours in the

:25:45. > :25:47.street were allowed to come in and use it. Little did they know that

:25:47. > :25:52.Larrieu was there behind the curtain that separated this front

:25:52. > :25:59.room with a kitchen. He would be listening in to all the gossip. All

:25:59. > :26:04.the material from his act was gained there. But soon he would be

:26:04. > :26:09.reinvented. On the advice of his new agent, drop the drag but kept

:26:09. > :26:14.the camp. He rechristened himself Larry. His new surname he stole

:26:14. > :26:22.from the singing idol, Kathryn Grayson. Next, the new Larry

:26:22. > :26:27.Grayson said his eyes on the London Palladium. Media mogul Michael

:26:27. > :26:31.Grade was a variety talent-spotter back in 1969. After seeing Larry

:26:31. > :26:35.Grayson do four minutes in a Soho strip club, he persuaded his

:26:36. > :26:40.impresario father, Leslie, to try him for one night at the Palladium.

:26:40. > :26:44.There's a horrible moment, though, what have I done? Your career

:26:44. > :26:49.flashes before your eyes. What if he's not as funny as I thought he

:26:49. > :26:52.was? Out comes Larry at the London Palladium on that great stage, the

:26:52. > :26:58.place just cracked up laughing. I looked at my dad and my dad looked

:26:58. > :27:03.at me and we both know that the star was born that night. He was a

:27:03. > :27:11.big hit on Saturday night TV by the late 70s. The Generation Game made

:27:11. > :27:16.him a national treasure. I'm a very gentle man. Shut your mouth!

:27:16. > :27:21.Attitudes towards homosexuals Olivetti had relaxed after

:27:21. > :27:25.decriminalisation in 1967. But Larry never actually came out.

:27:25. > :27:29.can honestly say that I've got no evidence to even suggest that he

:27:29. > :27:33.was gay. You probably have those sort of inclinations but it never

:27:33. > :27:37.bothered him. I don't think that side of life ever bothered him. He

:27:37. > :27:43.was more bothered about friends and family and that sort of thing.

:27:43. > :27:47.Perhaps he was too far ahead of his time. Prejudices run deep, even in

:27:47. > :27:51.his home town where a local councillor once said there would be

:27:51. > :27:58.nothing to honour that sort. But this prowled Warwickshire lad soon

:27:58. > :28:06.became treasured as the King of Camp. Before I go, for all you

:28:06. > :28:12.people at home, I must just say it wants. Shut that door! Of course,

:28:12. > :28:18.you went back to do another run of the Generation Game. I did. But he

:28:18. > :28:24.was a very funny man. It is all about Strictly now. It has gone so

:28:24. > :28:31.well this year. Poor Victoria went last weekend. Yes. He has been your

:28:31. > :28:39.biggest shock? I think Lisa. You know the dress-rehearsal, I was

:28:39. > :28:44.sitting having a cup of tea. Lisa was standing here. As soon... I

:28:44. > :28:48.wondered what it was going to be like. Then all the sudden the music

:28:48. > :28:53.started and she sort of jumped and became a performer. She went into

:28:53. > :29:02.this routine and I was staggered. And the other shock is Michael

:29:02. > :29:07.Vaughan, who, after that terrible dance... Get him out of the Latin

:29:08. > :29:11.and straight into the ballroom. was really shocking. They have been

:29:11. > :29:19.the big surprises. We've never had a standard as high as this,
