:00:23. > :00:31.Hello and welcome to The One Show with Alex Jones. And Matt Baker.
:00:31. > :00:37.Joining us tonight, a man who was studious, even in his youth. This
:00:37. > :00:39.is genuine old failing. Do you know who he is? These days we know him
:00:39. > :00:43.as a brilliant comedian, actor, broadcaster, writer, and explorer.
:00:43. > :00:46.And in the first of his new series, he traces the path of the original
:00:46. > :00:49.Royal tour by Queen Elizabeth I in regal style. Tonight is no
:00:49. > :00:59.exception. In fact it has gone to his head a bit. Please welcome
:00:59. > :01:03.
:01:03. > :01:12.Griff Rhys-Jones. And four are very strong boys from the office. In you
:01:12. > :01:19.come! Very nice to see you. Take that. Thank you very much. How are
:01:19. > :01:26.you? Good to see you. That was brilliant. You did not see him
:01:26. > :01:32.coming round the corner and going, and might in this? It was a total
:01:32. > :01:37.surprise. That is the actual one we use in the programme. It is
:01:37. > :01:47.extremely heavy, even before the human gets in. Queen Elizabeth had
:01:47. > :01:54.special ones made. They cost more than the coach. She had it
:01:54. > :02:04.decorated in black leather and red velvet. How swish! With black
:02:04. > :02:09.leather cushions. It is a great way to get through the mad. She needed
:02:09. > :02:15.this simply because most of the places she went, there were no
:02:15. > :02:23.roads. They set across through the field and the hedges, it would let
:02:23. > :02:29.the men in front get the scratches and the trouble. More on that later
:02:29. > :02:35.on. Queen Elizabeth II, a big weekend coming up. You're going to
:02:35. > :02:41.be on the River Thames! Are you going to be there? I am going to be
:02:41. > :02:48.in the studio holding it altogether. You are going to be throwing at me.
:02:48. > :02:53.We are going to be in the little boat. We are going to be in a
:02:53. > :02:58.little boat, in the middle of the flotilla, not knowing what is going
:02:58. > :03:05.on. My experience in a group of boats is that the first vote is
:03:05. > :03:09.about six miles ahead. You have no idea what is going on. We know you
:03:09. > :03:13.are passionate about restoring Britain's neglected buildings.
:03:13. > :03:21.We're going to restore something of a huge national importance
:03:21. > :03:31.throughout the show tonight. Isn't that right? Absolutely! I think
:03:31. > :03:38.Griff Rhys-Jones will write tonight project -- project. It is loved and
:03:38. > :03:44.treasured. More listing Unlisted, it is a Portakabin! What do you
:03:44. > :03:54.make of that? It is a proper vernacular building of importance.
:03:54. > :03:54.
:03:54. > :04:00.A friend pronounced it in a weird way until we pointed out it was a
:04:00. > :04:05.portable cabin. It is a very important part of Britain's
:04:05. > :04:15.buildings. The well tried to renovate his Portakabin stroke
:04:15. > :04:15.
:04:15. > :04:23.youth club. -- we will try. Portakabin/youth club. The painting
:04:23. > :04:31.is chipping off. There is no disabled access. The rift is tacked
:04:31. > :04:38.on. Look at the ceiling! It has just collapsed. It is in a pretty
:04:38. > :04:46.bad state. Help is at hands. -- hand. We have some professional
:04:46. > :04:56.builders and some volunteers. Come on, guys! Take up your positions.
:04:56. > :04:58.
:04:58. > :05:01.We have just 20 minutes. Join us in a while. Youth clubs are one way of
:05:01. > :05:06.helping kids stay on the straight and narrow. A school in Dunfermline
:05:07. > :05:13.has come up with a different way. This school been done famine in
:05:13. > :05:18.Scotland is taking a novel approach to working with students who may
:05:18. > :05:28.previously have been suspended. -- Dunfermline. This unit is run in
:05:28. > :05:33.conjunction with an outside organisation. You have all got to
:05:33. > :05:36.think, what is the most serious offence? Pupils in the unit are
:05:37. > :05:41.continuing with class work, so they are not becoming disengaged with
:05:41. > :05:45.the work they would be doing and they are looking at why they are
:05:45. > :05:51.there - they are looking at their behaviours. We have to find a way
:05:51. > :05:58.of reaching them. I am joining them on an experience guaranteed to
:05:58. > :06:02.engage them. Today we are going on a different school trip. We're
:06:02. > :06:09.going to visit a maximum security prison and will be speaking to some
:06:09. > :06:13.of the inmates. How are you feeling - nervous? I am feeling nervous.
:06:13. > :06:17.These pupils have all been in trouble before with things like
:06:17. > :06:22.truancy and antisocial behaviour. was in trouble for being around
:06:22. > :06:26.people who made a fire and it went out of hand. I was climbing school
:06:26. > :06:32.for two months. Our I had a massive fall-out with the teacher and threw
:06:32. > :06:37.something at her. Why do you think you're going there today? If we
:06:37. > :06:46.keep on going like we used to be, that is probably where we would end
:06:46. > :06:52.up. Built over 200 years ago, Perth is Scotland's oldest occupied
:06:52. > :06:57.prison. It has a short and long- term prisoners, including those on
:06:57. > :07:02.life-sentence is. -- houses. A visit to the prisoner is all part
:07:02. > :07:08.of their education and the hope is it is a lesson they will not forget.
:07:08. > :07:13.The atmosphere has started to change. Everyone is huddling closer
:07:13. > :07:19.together. The barbed wire and high fences, it is really intimidating.
:07:19. > :07:23.Some people come in on Tariffs of 20 to 30 years and they're still
:07:24. > :07:31.here 20 years later. Today's visit is the stark reminder of what
:07:31. > :07:36.happens if you break the law. This is a segregation unit. We have been
:07:36. > :07:39.told to keep the noise down. Prisoners who do not stick to the
:07:39. > :07:46.rules and are considered a serious risk to staff and other inmates are
:07:46. > :07:53.housed here. There is a zero tolerance of violence. This is one
:07:53. > :08:03.of the solitary confinement cells. Already, Clary is feeling a little
:08:03. > :08:09.uneasy. I am scared of this room. I could not do it. This is the
:08:09. > :08:15.highlight of their day, coming here for an hour. There is a shower. It
:08:15. > :08:23.is locked up for 23 hours a day. The shouting and atmosphere within
:08:23. > :08:28.the unit has all got a bit much. had tears in my eyes. I got so
:08:28. > :08:33.scared. The thought of being in there and them banging, I needed
:08:33. > :08:39.out. I could not go in there. I hated it. Is this worse than you
:08:39. > :08:44.thought it would be? Definitely. are given a chance to speak to a
:08:44. > :08:51.couple of inmates. How is it like living in prison? It is not a nice
:08:51. > :08:55.place to be. If I could go home tomorrow, I would. It is soul-
:08:55. > :08:59.destroying. It is not so bad during the day when you have your mates
:08:59. > :09:06.around you but at night to in the sun yourself and you start thinking.
:09:06. > :09:11.It is not easy. We would say, whatever you're doing, stop it. It
:09:11. > :09:17.is just a matter of time, you will come here. You do not want to live
:09:18. > :09:24.this. I all the kids have been deeply affected by the visit, Clary
:09:24. > :09:30.is motivated to turn her back on the past. It makes me feel I need
:09:30. > :09:38.to stop. I'm not going to prison. Do you think you can stop? Yes.
:09:38. > :09:41.Will this help you stop? Yes. The Chief Inspector of Scottish prisons
:09:41. > :09:46.has praised the work of the inclusion Unit at Dunfermline High
:09:46. > :09:53.School and says he would like to see more like it. With two more
:09:53. > :09:58.schools adopting the model, perhaps he will. A very interesting scheme.
:09:58. > :10:04.What do you make of it? It is fascinating. It was obviously
:10:04. > :10:08.having an effect. You are conscious that it is always going to be a
:10:08. > :10:17.time-consuming and one to-one job to take people under your wing and
:10:17. > :10:22.do something about them. That is one of the areas... There is a
:10:22. > :10:28.sense that when you go into any area like that, that is closed down
:10:28. > :10:33.and can be closed down, where you can lose your liberty, it is more
:10:33. > :10:38.shocking than you think. We all think we might be able to survive.
:10:38. > :10:43.We went in primary school. Not quite the same as that but it did
:10:43. > :10:52.have an effect on you. You had a sense of what it would be like took
:10:52. > :10:57.-- to be cooped up. Britain's Lost Routes is your new series. There
:10:57. > :11:01.are four programmes in all, are there? We have chosen quite
:11:01. > :11:06.carefully. There is and medieval route and an early modern one with
:11:06. > :11:11.Queen Elizabeth. They may look at the 18th century and come as far as
:11:11. > :11:17.the 1900s. What interested me is the sense that, when people
:11:17. > :11:22.travelled around Britain, it was that much more... Before the
:11:22. > :11:28.railways really. If you set off in Britain it was an extraordinary
:11:28. > :11:33.journey. There were no roads. This is what is so difficult for us to
:11:33. > :11:36.understand. If you look at the map of turnpike roads at the beginning
:11:36. > :11:42.of the 19th century, you are astounded to find they do not join
:11:42. > :11:49.up with each other. There is a road between Bristol and up a bit Norse
:11:49. > :11:55.and it just stops. People set off and they crossed fields and things.
:11:55. > :11:59.And yet they went. People had to make these journeys. We looked at a
:11:59. > :12:03.lot of different ways they did and there where they survived a what
:12:03. > :12:08.they learnt about the landscape and what it taught us about the way we
:12:08. > :12:13.made our own roads. You mentioned Queen Elizabeth. On the first when
:12:13. > :12:18.you go on a progress and recreate the Queen's Court. You have the
:12:18. > :12:26.tailback of about a mile of cars behind you. It looks amazing.
:12:27. > :12:33.bought everything decree needed - the entire kitchen, all the court
:12:33. > :12:39.documents. -- brought everything the Queen needed. This is well done
:12:39. > :12:44.my people! At over a mile long, it must have been an astonishing sight,
:12:45. > :12:54.snaking through the Elizabethan countryside at an average speed of
:12:55. > :12:56.
:12:56. > :13:01.three miles an hour. Brilliant! needed a way of showing that. We do
:13:01. > :13:06.not have enough bullock carts to put it together so we had to do it
:13:06. > :13:10.with volunteers. It was very pioneering of Queen Elizabeth to go
:13:10. > :13:15.out there and meet the people. lot of monarchs at that time spent
:13:15. > :13:20.time on the road but she loved it. That was the funny thing about her.
:13:20. > :13:27.She invented the walkabout. The Venetian ambassador said, she
:13:27. > :13:33.always went where the crowd was thickest. Who does that remind you
:13:33. > :13:38.of? She loved the acclaim of the people and she used it to support
:13:38. > :13:44.her position. What we discovered was, as so many things we will be
:13:45. > :13:50.involved in this year, derive from things Queen Elizabeth or the Tudor
:13:50. > :13:56.court invented. The Lord-Lieutenant is there. That was a Tudor
:13:56. > :14:00.invention. The coach the Queen goes around in, we did not have coaches
:14:00. > :14:06.before Queen Elizabeth. The walkabout, going around the town
:14:06. > :14:10.and meeting people, ringing bells. Even the idea of the Jubilee, the
:14:10. > :14:15.Ascension, the year in which the Queen rose to the throne being a
:14:15. > :14:21.holiday and something you celebrated. That was Elizabeth I.
:14:21. > :14:25.The pilot for the Olympic Torch as well. Today it was on top of
:14:25. > :14:35.Snowdon. Shining brightly with Chris Bonington. That was a heck of
:14:35. > :14:51.
:14:51. > :14:56.Do they run up there? It occurs rule little stroll.
:14:56. > :15:01.The first episode of Britian's Lost Routes is on Thursday at 8pm on BBC
:15:01. > :15:09.One. A splitting headache can be bad enough, especially in this
:15:09. > :15:16.weather, if you have been suffering. The onset of a chronic my grain can
:15:16. > :15:21.take paying to another level. Emily will be speaking to us short make
:15:21. > :15:26.about an incredible potential new cure, but firstly Dr Mark Porter
:15:26. > :15:33.has been finding out if the answer could be both talks. Emily
:15:33. > :15:37.Leppenwell spends half her life in intense pain. In is like someone is
:15:37. > :15:42.running a circular saw through your head and a searing pain going
:15:42. > :15:52.through to the core. Hunt will last year, Emily worked full-time as
:15:52. > :15:58.
:15:58. > :16:08.well as enjoying a busy family life. Then the first of many my --
:16:08. > :16:13.migraine tos struck. The World Health Organisation ranks a
:16:13. > :16:19.migraine as a disability. This is my paying diary. The pink days are
:16:19. > :16:25.moderate, the red days are extremely severe, it is a searing
:16:25. > :16:31.pain, it is constant and it wears me down. Has you are watching this,
:16:32. > :16:38.around 200,000 people across the UK are having a migraine attack. They
:16:38. > :16:42.are mostly likely caused by a blip in the brain's chemistry, sending
:16:42. > :16:46.mussels into spasm and the crippling headache is only part of
:16:46. > :16:52.it. They have a lot of other symptoms, including nausea,
:16:52. > :16:58.vomiting, a heightened sense of smell, and Norway's is upsetting
:16:58. > :17:04.them, or even bright light being uncomfortable. Emily's attacks are
:17:04. > :17:08.random, but for other sufferers there are triggers. We know about
:17:08. > :17:15.food - cheese, chocolate and red wine. There are other triggers as
:17:15. > :17:21.well, including stress, not enough sleep, and for women the menstrual
:17:21. > :17:28.cycle. Emily survives on a daily cocktail of drugs, most of them are
:17:28. > :17:32.preventative, prescribed to keep her headaches at bay. I was advised
:17:32. > :17:42.to stop taking painkillers because taking them on a regular basis can
:17:42. > :17:42.
:17:43. > :17:50.cause a rebound headache. Even over the counter tablets can sensitise
:17:50. > :17:56.the brain. There is evidence that it increases chances of having more
:17:56. > :18:03.headaches. Sir far, nothing has worked for Emily. Today, the doctor
:18:03. > :18:13.is going to try the latest migraine treatment, a drug better known for
:18:13. > :18:13.
:18:13. > :18:19.smoothing out facial wrinkles. Botox. She will have injections
:18:19. > :18:27.around her head, neck and shoulders. This is a poisonous muscle relaxant,
:18:27. > :18:30.once considered for use in chemical warfare. It was migraine sufferers
:18:31. > :18:36.having it injected cosmetically who first spotted the pain relief
:18:36. > :18:41.potential. By relaxing the muscle, you reduce the number of attacks,
:18:41. > :18:46.but we do know it doesn't work for people with tension headaches. We
:18:46. > :18:51.don't really know exactly what it does, but we do know that the
:18:51. > :18:57.chemical which is picked up by the nerve endings and then taken up
:18:57. > :19:02.into the brain itself. So what is not an effect on the muscles, it is
:19:02. > :19:10.something going on inside the brain. Precisely. The treatment has only
:19:10. > :19:15.recently been recommended for use in England and Wales. Around half
:19:15. > :19:19.the people given an injection will experience half the number of
:19:19. > :19:23.headache days. That will be the last injection.
:19:23. > :19:33.The prospect of not being in pain every other day has given Emily new
:19:33. > :19:39.hope. I need to get my life back on track. I need to be deficient and
:19:39. > :19:46.able to function every day, not just 15 days a month. Hopefully
:19:46. > :19:52.getting better has given me the inspiration to follow my dream.
:19:52. > :19:57.Emily and Mark are here now and the big question is has it work? Yes,
:19:57. > :20:01.it has been a great success. many headaches are you getting?
:20:01. > :20:07.first I was getting the same frequency of headaches, but in the
:20:07. > :20:13.last 10 days either only had three and normally I would have had seven
:20:13. > :20:17.or 8. That must have made a huge difference. The us, I have loads of
:20:17. > :20:24.energy. There must be a period before it takes effect. As they
:20:24. > :20:29.said, they are not sure exactly how it works but it takes three weeks
:20:29. > :20:33.to work and often carries on so the outlook will be even brighter,
:20:33. > :20:43.although Whitney's to repeated every three months. A any side-
:20:43. > :20:44.
:20:44. > :20:52.effects? I have lost my frown! Raise your eyebrows. Nothing like
:20:52. > :21:00.what she could do before. Next time you go back, asked to go a bit
:21:00. > :21:05.lower. This is a only reserved for the severe cases. How easy is it to
:21:05. > :21:08.get it? At the moment, very difficult, and it will be a last
:21:09. > :21:15.resort to people who have tried everything else and it has not
:21:15. > :21:21.worked. Don't expect to go and say you will get your migraine cleared
:21:21. > :21:24.up and clear your wrinkles at the same time. The way it works is it
:21:24. > :21:29.paralyses sweat glands, but we don't really know how what is
:21:29. > :21:33.working. Probably something to do with brain chemistry. You must be
:21:33. > :21:39.delighted. It must have been awful for you to have headaches that
:21:39. > :21:44.often. A only now it has gone I've realised how much it was affecting
:21:44. > :21:52.me really. I have so much energy. We the extra spare time, what will
:21:52. > :21:59.you do? I am hoping to study medicine. Thank you.
:21:59. > :22:09.Here is a cheeky person who gives most adults a headache. Just
:22:09. > :22:10.
:22:10. > :22:18.William. Here is the background of the author. In this house in
:22:18. > :22:22.Bromley was born a young rebel who drove the girls wild. This
:22:22. > :22:32.schoolboy tearaway was known as Just William, and the writer behind
:22:32. > :22:33.
:22:33. > :22:41.him who lived here, a middle-aged spinster, Richmal Crompton. Britain
:22:41. > :22:46.first heard about William in 1922. Since then, nearly 40 titles rarely
:22:46. > :22:51.out of print have filled children's heads with the antics of a school
:22:51. > :23:00.boy who loved the great outdoors. William and his gang had adventures
:23:00. > :23:08.out in the wide world far away from home, be it the once or the duck
:23:08. > :23:15.pond. The great outdoors around Bromley may well have been his
:23:15. > :23:24.patch. Whilst William was roaming the wilds of suburbia, his creator
:23:24. > :23:29.was often incarcerated in doors. Her parents held a common fear in
:23:29. > :23:35.Victorian times that delicate looking children could develop the
:23:35. > :23:41.curvature of the spine. As she later told a family friend, Mary.
:23:41. > :23:48.They made her spend several hours of every day lying on an awful
:23:48. > :23:54.contraption called aback board. around your arms and legs so you
:23:54. > :23:58.couldn't move. I think she lay there making up stories. It was as
:23:58. > :24:08.if she projected into her stories the child she would love to have
:24:08. > :24:10.
:24:10. > :24:17.But her first love was teaching. After university she became
:24:17. > :24:21.classics mistress at Bromley High in 1917. In her spare time, she
:24:21. > :24:25.indulged in writing and her first William stories appeared in
:24:25. > :24:34.magazines. When they made it onto the bookshelf, her head teacher
:24:34. > :24:38.gave her an ultimatum - her writing or her teaching. Polio was rife, a
:24:38. > :24:46.flu-like virus that attacks the central nervous system, and in 1923
:24:46. > :24:54.she became one of the cases that year. She was once more trapped at
:24:54. > :24:58.home, and eventually lost the use of her right leg. Her doctor said
:24:58. > :25:03.the cycling as she did three-and a- half miles to school every day to
:25:03. > :25:07.teach was too much for her, and he urged her to give up teaching and
:25:07. > :25:15.stick to writing, which was beginning to go very well for her,
:25:15. > :25:19.which she did. I would say teaching's loss was literature's
:25:19. > :25:25.gain. Richmal Crompton gained handsomely with her best sellers.
:25:25. > :25:29.She earned enough to build this grand home over the next four years,
:25:30. > :25:35.on Bromley Common. The name William had become synonymous with
:25:35. > :25:43.rebellious boyhood. First inspired by her naughty brother Jack... In
:25:44. > :25:52.later years her mischievous nephew Tom gave her plot lines. The my
:25:52. > :26:01.grand mother tells me when he was young he would bring in stag
