: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
:22:23. > :22:28.solution for you. We are on the hunt for the nation's favourite

: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,
