:00:24. > :00:29.Hello and welcome to The One Show with Matt Baker and Alex Jones on a
:00:29. > :00:34.night where every leading sportsman and woman in the country will be
:00:34. > :00:41.glued to their greens. They -- screens. 2 may have defeated their
:00:41. > :00:48.opponents but have they made the shortlist for Sports Personality of
:00:48. > :00:56.the Year? The man with the answers is Gary Linekar! Nice to see you.
:00:56. > :01:03.Later on you will tell us the name of the top ten nominees for Sports
:01:03. > :01:09.Personality of the Year. Up on the board. Gary can't go on without
:01:09. > :01:14.speaking of the tragic loss of Gary Speed at such a young age.
:01:14. > :01:19.really is tragic, so sad especially for his family and two boys. Can't
:01:19. > :01:24.imagine what they are going through. The football world is at a loss.
:01:24. > :01:31.And it's grieving his loss. A really, really sad story.
:01:31. > :01:37.thoughts with -- are with Gary's family. We're joined from our
:01:37. > :01:42.favourite history boys who went from this to that. The one at the
:01:42. > :01:48.back seems to have grown up slightly. Dan and Peter will be
:01:48. > :01:57.with us later. Peter has been on a very personal journey for us. Made
:01:57. > :02:05.a moving film looking to his family's past. Here on the show we
:02:05. > :02:15.recently exposed how the price of lead has name war memorials and
:02:15. > :02:17.
:02:17. > :02:27.roofs and plaques the target. Scenes of protesters camping
:02:27. > :02:32.outside St Paul's in London is a familiar sight. Parishoners here
:02:32. > :02:39.are taking the unusually step of sleeping in their church night
:02:39. > :02:45.after night. I'm here to find out where they are doing this. Can you
:02:45. > :02:51.explain why you're sleeping in the church and not our own bed. Over
:02:51. > :02:58.the last month our church roof has been attacked ten times. They have
:02:58. > :03:02.taken a large portion of the roof. We are an alarm fitted to one
:03:02. > :03:10.portion. Now we have a rote yo system to make sure there's someone
:03:10. > :03:18.in here all the time. You don't tackle the miss caeyapbts. No, no.
:03:18. > :03:23.There has been a church on this site for over 800 years, surviving
:03:23. > :03:27.the worst that world wars and the British weather could throw at it.
:03:27. > :03:34.How do you feel about the people who have been on the roof and
:03:34. > :03:40.nicking the copper? I think it's awful. It used to be churches are a
:03:40. > :03:45.sacred place. As a Christian we are taught to for give and it's
:03:45. > :03:50.instilled in us to for give it's hard. Some of the congregation are
:03:50. > :03:56.sleeping in the church. I think it shows the commitment of the people
:03:56. > :04:03.in the church. It's a shame that is what it has come to. Copper prices
:04:03. > :04:10.hit huge highs earlier in the year. And there are estimates that copper
:04:10. > :04:16.thefts to the economy is 7.7 million per aanymore. Maybe they
:04:16. > :04:21.think it's a victimless crime. It's metal off a roof. It's a prevalent
:04:21. > :04:27.crime that insurance companies have a cap of only �5,000 in one year.
:04:28. > :04:34.No way does that recover it. I've read that top tips for staying
:04:34. > :04:44.awake rather than reaching for the kaufry is play a game, exercise, or
:04:44. > :04:44.
:04:44. > :04:54.have a healthy snack or take a short power nap. Wake up! Call the
:04:54. > :04:55.
:04:55. > :05:01.police! They are on the roof. chill. It's just time for patrol.
:05:01. > :05:06.It's a bit spooky around here. Doing everything, messing with
:05:06. > :05:16.forces you don't understand. It's dark, night-time, nobody can hear
:05:16. > :05:19.
:05:19. > :05:26.you scream. Well, not really, no... Fair enough! That's our friendly
:05:26. > :05:34.neighbourhood patrolman. I don't know how the lads come out, the
:05:34. > :05:40.graveyard, the dark, in fact, where's Andy?, Andy, Andy. It will
:05:40. > :05:47.be getting light soon, and the dawn chorus is starting up outside, and
:05:47. > :05:54.there's the end of my shift. There has been no theft from the church
:05:54. > :06:01.roof. Another small victory for Barry Andy and the community in
:06:01. > :06:08.Hornchurch. Peter and Dan are here. Is it bring a dad to workday?
:06:08. > :06:13.to check out how I'm doing. My dad is there, not really!. You have an
:06:13. > :06:20.interesting metal thieving story. Just taking out of the skip, we
:06:20. > :06:26.have had a renovation in the house. In the middle of the night I heard
:06:26. > :06:34.clanking and the movement of metal. My wife was shouting at him. And I
:06:34. > :06:37.was on the phone to the police... Just a bit scary. The rules on
:06:37. > :06:44.these replacements of the church roofs have been relaxed. There's
:06:44. > :06:49.common sense coming in. If you can proof your roof is high risk and
:06:49. > :06:55.being in this caseed again and again, now the regulatory bodies
:06:55. > :07:00.are saying you can use other materials. It's sad, these are
:07:00. > :07:07.listed buildings. They are saying there's no point, it's stupid if it
:07:07. > :07:16.will get nicked., There's flexibility. We have touched on the
:07:16. > :07:22.issue of war memorials being stolen. It's sad. In memory yem 2014 they
:07:22. > :07:28.are trying to create a list of all the war memorials across the UK.
:07:28. > :07:35.There's no list. When the plaques go, that's the names doing. They
:07:35. > :07:39.can send you advice, and secret water you can spray on it, and
:07:39. > :07:47.eventually they will work to creating a huge database. Take a
:07:47. > :07:52.picture of it, and save it, and you'll be able to save it on the
:07:52. > :07:57.internet. Your grandpa was a general. I think he would have said
:07:57. > :08:01.bring back the firing squad. He would have been horrified that
:08:01. > :08:07.scores of his hates, and my father in the Second World War died in the
:08:07. > :08:12.war. And there he would be looking at the plaques taken down. The
:08:12. > :08:17.irony of this, young people the kind of people who perhaps might be
:08:17. > :08:25.conceivably thieves or burglars, I think they're more aware of what
:08:25. > :08:34.happened in the two world wars than my generation was. There's a huge
:08:34. > :08:38.awareness of the Second World War. More and more people go to re--
:08:38. > :08:46.remembrance service. I can't think of anything more disrespectful.
:08:46. > :08:51.Peter has been back to a place that holds so many memories for him.
:08:51. > :08:57.Peter Snow and I'm going back to the street where I used to live in
:08:57. > :09:04.Dublin in Ireland. I'm very excited about it. I lived there between the
:09:04. > :09:11.ages of four and six with my mother and her twin sister, aunty Betty.
:09:11. > :09:17.When I was here in my mother, this was in the war. My father was in
:09:17. > :09:23.Burma fighting the war. This is the post box to which I walked any
:09:23. > :09:30.cousin David, he was four, and I was six, I said David I will walk
:09:30. > :09:37.you to school blindfold, and I'll tell you where to go, straight
:09:37. > :09:45.ahead, right, left, bang, he went into the post box. And he gottal
:09:45. > :09:55.scar, bled very badly, he h got a scar above his eye, which he had
:09:55. > :09:56.
:09:56. > :10:06.for the rest of his life. Very unkind of me. Exactly the same.
:10:06. > :10:09.
:10:09. > :10:16.Wonderful. This is a door I haven't walked through in 70, 68 years,
:10:16. > :10:24.nearly 70 years, and here I am. Extraordinary. Somehow it looks of
:10:24. > :10:29.course far smaller than it did then. To me as little kid it was huge,
:10:29. > :10:34.this house. This beautiful window, was there, just like that. And it
:10:34. > :10:41.was on every floor we had a window very like that. These pretty
:10:41. > :10:45.Archways, it was a lovely house. My goodness! They have broken it up
:10:45. > :10:52.into three, there were just two up here, myself and David's, and I had
:10:52. > :10:56.a front room. This is where I was. I'm sure this is my room here. That
:10:56. > :11:02.wonderful view you can see from the bed across the lovely old houses
:11:02. > :11:09.there and there are the mountains. The funny thing about life is the
:11:09. > :11:16.way childhood memories are so much more vivid than recent memories. I
:11:17. > :11:23.had vivid memories of being here with my mother and David, and aunty
:11:23. > :11:28.Betty. I was very bossy, and rather serious. And took myself too
:11:28. > :11:36.seriously. The great thing about Ireland, you could not take
:11:36. > :11:41.eurozone too seriously. My mother was wonderful. She was the twin
:11:41. > :11:49.sister of auntyi Betty. They were hugely friendly. And sociable 6789
:11:49. > :11:54.they would have a tipple. They drank sherry. -- I got all my sense
:11:54. > :11:59.of fun from my mother. My father was a serious chap A Brigadier in
:12:00. > :12:05.the British Army. A wonderfully kind and gentle man. He a sense of
:12:05. > :12:10.humour too, he enjoyed my mum who joked about and made fun of things.
:12:10. > :12:19.He liked that. They both saw in each other what they had not got
:12:19. > :12:25.themselves. A wonderful partnership. Sadly my mother died when she was
:12:25. > :12:32.60. My father lived to 67. They both died young. My dad was
:12:32. > :12:38.devastated by mummy dying. I remember him saying, at the funeral,
:12:38. > :12:47.there are so many things I realise I had not said to her which I would
:12:47. > :12:52.have wanted to have said to her. I feel so sad about that, he said.
:12:52. > :13:01.I didn't really say goodbye to my mother for the first seven years of
:13:01. > :13:09.my life, until the first time I went to the prep school in Sussex.
:13:09. > :13:14.I took my pet teddy to school. I thought it would not make me too
:13:14. > :13:21.sad. I was bullied about the teddy bear. I was so ashamed about having
:13:21. > :13:26.the bear, I wrapped him up in a parcel and sent him home. It was
:13:26. > :13:32.absurd to go to boarding schooling at seven. It was such a change.
:13:32. > :13:42.Going from this lovely friendly place, Dublin to England to go to
:13:42. > :13:54.
:13:54. > :14:00.What a trip down memory lane. Lovely house. We were all impressed
:14:00. > :14:10.with that. I've never seen seen it before. I never met my grandmother
:14:10. > :14:10.
:14:10. > :14:17.and grandfather on that side. a shame Dad never met my mum and
:14:17. > :14:25.dad. A shame you never lost your Irish accent! What happened to
:14:25. > :14:33.teddy. It went home in a parcel. And my mum and dad kept it. My
:14:33. > :14:40.parents travelled a lot, and we just lost it. We.... We have had a
:14:40. > :14:50.delivery. I don't think it's the original. Look at that. I'll call
:14:50. > :14:52.
:14:52. > :14:58.him Patrick! And a swingometer! Absolutely lovely. I think we must
:14:58. > :15:05.not have a political swing either way. In the middle. Were you a
:15:05. > :15:14.teddy boy or a Action Man boy? football boy. You moved around
:15:14. > :15:19.quite a lot as a lot Peter -- as a child Peter. My father was in the
:15:19. > :15:26.army and we moved all over the place. He lived in Libya, and
:15:26. > :15:33.benefit Ghazni for three years, and Gibraltar yar, and Nottingham.
:15:33. > :15:40.Three years at a time. You decided to take put. I lived in the same
:15:40. > :15:47.house from zero to 18. My mum is Canadian, a lot of that stuff she
:15:47. > :15:54.would not have agreed with. Me and my sisters. Hearing your dad's
:15:54. > :16:00.story about boarding school, you were pleased to go to the local
:16:00. > :16:05.school. So important to have Dan come home every evening, we got to
:16:05. > :16:11.know him so much better! One should have one's children at day school
:16:11. > :16:18.at the most. I think boarding school is a mistake. The two girls
:16:18. > :16:22.went to boarding school from 16 to 18. We hear from your school
:16:22. > :16:29.reports your teachers told you to stop concentrating on football.
:16:29. > :16:35.They said you would never earn a living from football much. Did you
:16:36. > :16:41.do the thing of going back to school, and I have been back, and
:16:41. > :16:49.never pointed it out. Your dad was a fruit and veg man. On the market
:16:49. > :16:59.in Leicester. And you worked with him a little bit. He seems to not
:16:59. > :16:59.
:16:59. > :17:05.remember me working with him. There's the photo! That's cheap 40p
:17:05. > :17:13.from straw bersies. And only the finest. Is there still a Linekar
:17:13. > :17:19.stall there now. It went for three or four generations. Nobody took it
:17:19. > :17:26.on after my dad. My dad sold the business, and they wanted to keep
:17:27. > :17:31.the sign. I think he got another fiver for that. The family veered
:17:31. > :17:39.towards crisps. Potatoes it's close! Thank you very much Pete and
:17:39. > :17:42.Dan. Now, time to reveal the first batch of runners and riders in this
:17:42. > :17:46.year's Sports Personality of the year's Sports Personality of the
:17:46. > :17:52.Year. All the nominees are behind us. They are on the board. You'll
:17:52. > :17:59.give us a clue so you at home can guess who we're referring to.
:17:59. > :18:08.Number one a long distance runner. He picked up a gold in the 5,000
:18:08. > :18:16.metres in this year's world athletic's championships. Mo Farah.
:18:16. > :18:25.Number two, a hat involved. It must be a cricketer. He lead England to
:18:25. > :18:35.victory in the Oasis and led to to number one in the world. Andrew
:18:35. > :18:36.
:18:36. > :18:44.Strauss. You're great at this game -- -- Ashes. And this one is Welsh,
:18:44. > :18:53.he won first in the 400m hurd yells, and won Commonwealth medals last
:18:53. > :19:02.year. Dai Green. And number four, a golfer. He earned his first major
:19:02. > :19:07.title with a record-breaking eight shot victory at the US Open. Rory
:19:07. > :19:14.McIlroy. And the last of the five a tennis player? You probably guessed
:19:14. > :19:21.this, he reached the final in the Australian open, and the US Open.
:19:21. > :19:25.It's of course Andy Murray. A great line-up the first five. You have
:19:25. > :19:32.one from Wales, and Northern Ireland, and Scotland and a
:19:32. > :19:37.Englishman. Who decides then, who the final ten are? It's not us.
:19:37. > :19:41.Don't blame... People are E mailing now! It's actually the sports
:19:41. > :19:49.journalists of the country. They get together, and vote and decide.
:19:49. > :19:53.And the top ten come out. We'll reveal the next five later on in
:19:53. > :19:59.the programme. On Wednesday it's the programme. On Wednesday it's
:19:59. > :20:07.estimated over two million teachers, border staff and other public
:20:07. > :20:14.sector workers could go on strike. We have spoken to four workers who
:20:14. > :20:21.have never taken part in a strike before. Marilyn Downs is a head
:20:21. > :20:27.teacher of a primary school. This is a job that I find is really
:20:27. > :20:34.important for the local community, not just for the education of the
:20:34. > :20:38.pupils. I think we play an important role. We provide a 365
:20:38. > :20:46.emergency service to the hospitals in North Wales. I want to help
:20:46. > :20:51.people. And Louis Phipps is a midwife. My duty is to look after
:20:51. > :20:55.women and their partners, and their babies. They are all public sector
:20:55. > :21:01.workers and for the first time in their jobs, face a difficult
:21:01. > :21:07.decision, to strike or not. I've never been on strike before. I have
:21:07. > :21:13.he never felt the -- felt the need before. This is a important job I
:21:13. > :21:18.do. It keeps people alive. This is not a decision I've taken lightly.
:21:18. > :21:23.I'm anxious about the fact the children will miss a day of
:21:23. > :21:27.education. I'm anxious they will be safeguarded and looked after well.
:21:27. > :21:31.Really they should be in school and should be being educated. We need
:21:31. > :21:38.to have a voice otherwise we might not be heard. Striking is one way
:21:38. > :21:42.to get your voice across. protest is about changes to public
:21:42. > :21:48.sector pensions. Under government proposals public sector employees
:21:48. > :21:51.will have to work longer before getting their pensions and
:21:51. > :21:55.contribute more. This Wednesday more than two million people could
:21:55. > :22:04.take action. The changes to the pension scheme will mean teachers
:22:04. > :22:10.have to work far longer. If you're having to work into the area of 56,
:22:10. > :22:18.68, I don't think that's a via yibl proposition. This is a very
:22:18. > :22:24.difficult job. We want to attract the best quality gruts we can to
:22:24. > :22:30.the profession. The government says the proposals are generous, and
:22:30. > :22:37.fair. -- best quality graduates. Workers say they are only fighting
:22:37. > :22:44.for their rights. I'm angry with the pension deal I'm looking at a
:22:44. > :22:52.significant loss in a pension that was renegotiated in 2008. Now
:22:52. > :22:55.they're Welshing on it it. I'm not allowed to Welsh on my mortgage.
:22:55. > :23:03.Wednesday' action will cause disruption across public services.
:23:03. > :23:08.It means hospitals will be forced to delay thousands of operations.
:23:08. > :23:13.Lewes understand why people are angry. We have to think about how
:23:13. > :23:18.we protect the public, the dilemma is do we think of ourselves or the
:23:18. > :23:21.women we're caring for. The Prime Minister has condemned the planned
:23:21. > :23:27.strikes. Everyone should be clear there's going to be disruption and
:23:27. > :23:31.the reason for that disruption, the responsibility with that disruption
:23:31. > :23:35.lies squarely with the trade union leaders who decided on a strike
:23:35. > :23:41.while negotiations are ongoing. I think that's irresponsible and
:23:41. > :23:45.wrong. People should know who to blame. The Treasury says someone in
:23:45. > :23:49.the private sector would have to pay a third of their salary to
:23:49. > :23:54.their pension to match the deal offered to those in public services.
:23:54. > :23:59.Will the workers we featured choose to work or strike. We got them to
:23:59. > :24:04.put pen to paper and write their answers down. My decision is work,
:24:04. > :24:10.and this is because I'm a midwife and I have a duty of care to the
:24:10. > :24:15.women and babies of Stockport. decided to strike. It has been a
:24:16. > :24:21.difficult decision. But I want to strike for the NHS and against the
:24:21. > :24:28.government proposals. I voted in favour of strike action, on the day
:24:28. > :24:33.I'll be working, because we're committed to providing adequate
:24:34. > :24:37.cover for patient safety. I've made the decision to strike because I
:24:37. > :24:42.care passionately about the education in this country, and the
:24:42. > :24:48.government has to work hard to negotiate a pension that teachers
:24:48. > :24:54.deserve. Education secretary Michael Gove said it was unfair and
:24:54. > :24:59.unrealistic to expect taxpayers to foot the increasing public sector
:24:59. > :25:03.pensions bill. He said he secured more from the Treasury. Strange to
:25:03. > :25:12.think that 50 years ago this week footballers were threatening to
:25:12. > :25:22.strike to end the maximum of �25 a week. You are asking me like iepld
:25:22. > :25:26.
:25:26. > :25:35.supposed to remember! It was Jimmy Hill wasn't it. We have had a note
:25:35. > :25:42.from Boris saying Mr Linekar is trying to look like Jimmy Hill.
:25:42. > :25:47.It's close to December. In 20 years you never had a red or yellow card.
:25:47. > :25:52.Never tackled anyone. Do you think players now behaviour better or
:25:52. > :25:57.worse generally. I think it's highlighted more now. I assure you
:25:57. > :26:04.there were strange goings on in my times. Mixed bag, a cross section
:26:04. > :26:11.of working class society. Within that you'll get crazy guys, A guys
:26:11. > :26:16.who like a drink or a bet or a girl. Now adays there's a microscope on
:26:16. > :26:21.the behaviour. It's the bad news that make the news. Nobody is
:26:21. > :26:25.interested in the footballers who do hospital visits and work in the
:26:25. > :26:31.community. There's a focus on the nerve side. Back to Sports
