Hello and welcome to The One Show with Alex Jones. And Matt Baker. | :00:23. | :00:31. | |
Joining us tonight, a man who was studious, even in his youth. This | :00:31. | :00:37. | |
is genuine old failing. Do you know who he is? These days we know him | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
as a brilliant comedian, actor, broadcaster, writer, and explorer. | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
And in the first of his new series, he traces the path of the original | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
Royal tour by Queen Elizabeth I in regal style. Tonight is no | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
exception. In fact it has gone to his head a bit. Please welcome | :00:49. | :00:59. | |
:00:59. | :01:03. | ||
Griff Rhys-Jones. And four are very strong boys from the office. In you | :01:03. | :01:12. | |
come! Very nice to see you. Take that. Thank you very much. How are | :01:12. | :01:19. | |
you? Good to see you. That was brilliant. You did not see him | :01:19. | :01:26. | |
coming round the corner and going, and might in this? It was a total | :01:26. | :01:32. | |
surprise. That is the actual one we use in the programme. It is | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
extremely heavy, even before the human gets in. Queen Elizabeth had | :01:37. | :01:47. | |
special ones made. They cost more than the coach. She had it | :01:47. | :01:54. | |
decorated in black leather and red velvet. How swish! With black | :01:54. | :02:04. | |
leather cushions. It is a great way to get through the mad. She needed | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
this simply because most of the places she went, there were no | :02:09. | :02:15. | |
roads. They set across through the field and the hedges, it would let | :02:15. | :02:23. | |
the men in front get the scratches and the trouble. More on that later | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
on. Queen Elizabeth II, a big weekend coming up. You're going to | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
be on the River Thames! Are you going to be there? I am going to be | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
in the studio holding it altogether. You are going to be throwing at me. | :02:41. | :02:48. | |
We are going to be in the little boat. We are going to be in a | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
little boat, in the middle of the flotilla, not knowing what is going | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
on. My experience in a group of boats is that the first vote is | :02:58. | :03:05. | |
about six miles ahead. You have no idea what is going on. We know you | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
are passionate about restoring Britain's neglected buildings. | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
We're going to restore something of a huge national importance | :03:13. | :03:21. | |
throughout the show tonight. Isn't that right? Absolutely! I think | :03:21. | :03:31. | |
Griff Rhys-Jones will write tonight project -- project. It is loved and | :03:31. | :03:38. | |
treasured. More listing Unlisted, it is a Portakabin! What do you | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
make of that? It is a proper vernacular building of importance. | :03:44. | :03:54. | |
:03:54. | :03:54. | ||
A friend pronounced it in a weird way until we pointed out it was a | :03:54. | :04:00. | |
portable cabin. It is a very important part of Britain's | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
buildings. The well tried to renovate his Portakabin stroke | :04:05. | :04:15. | |
:04:15. | :04:15. | ||
youth club. -- we will try. Portakabin/youth club. The painting | :04:15. | :04:23. | |
is chipping off. There is no disabled access. The rift is tacked | :04:23. | :04:31. | |
on. Look at the ceiling! It has just collapsed. It is in a pretty | :04:31. | :04:38. | |
bad state. Help is at hands. -- hand. We have some professional | :04:38. | :04:46. | |
builders and some volunteers. Come on, guys! Take up your positions. | :04:46. | :04:56. | |
:04:56. | :04:58. | ||
We have just 20 minutes. Join us in a while. Youth clubs are one way of | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
helping kids stay on the straight and narrow. A school in Dunfermline | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
has come up with a different way. This school been done famine in | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
Scotland is taking a novel approach to working with students who may | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
previously have been suspended. -- Dunfermline. This unit is run in | :05:18. | :05:28. | |
conjunction with an outside organisation. You have all got to | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
think, what is the most serious offence? Pupils in the unit are | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
continuing with class work, so they are not becoming disengaged with | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
the work they would be doing and they are looking at why they are | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
there - they are looking at their behaviours. We have to find a way | :05:45. | :05:51. | |
of reaching them. I am joining them on an experience guaranteed to | :05:51. | :05:58. | |
engage them. Today we are going on a different school trip. We're | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
going to visit a maximum security prison and will be speaking to some | :06:02. | :06:09. | |
of the inmates. How are you feeling - nervous? I am feeling nervous. | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
These pupils have all been in trouble before with things like | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
truancy and antisocial behaviour. was in trouble for being around | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
people who made a fire and it went out of hand. I was climbing school | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
for two months. Our I had a massive fall-out with the teacher and threw | :06:26. | :06:32. | |
something at her. Why do you think you're going there today? If we | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
keep on going like we used to be, that is probably where we would end | :06:37. | :06:46. | |
up. Built over 200 years ago, Perth is Scotland's oldest occupied | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
prison. It has a short and long- term prisoners, including those on | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
life-sentence is. -- houses. A visit to the prisoner is all part | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
of their education and the hope is it is a lesson they will not forget. | :07:02. | :07:08. | |
The atmosphere has started to change. Everyone is huddling closer | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
together. The barbed wire and high fences, it is really intimidating. | :07:13. | :07:19. | |
Some people come in on Tariffs of 20 to 30 years and they're still | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
here 20 years later. Today's visit is the stark reminder of what | :07:24. | :07:31. | |
happens if you break the law. This is a segregation unit. We have been | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
told to keep the noise down. Prisoners who do not stick to the | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
rules and are considered a serious risk to staff and other inmates are | :07:39. | :07:46. | |
housed here. There is a zero tolerance of violence. This is one | :07:46. | :07:53. | |
of the solitary confinement cells. Already, Clary is feeling a little | :07:53. | :08:03. | |
uneasy. I am scared of this room. I could not do it. This is the | :08:03. | :08:09. | |
highlight of their day, coming here for an hour. There is a shower. It | :08:09. | :08:15. | |
is locked up for 23 hours a day. The shouting and atmosphere within | :08:15. | :08:23. | |
the unit has all got a bit much. had tears in my eyes. I got so | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
scared. The thought of being in there and them banging, I needed | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
out. I could not go in there. I hated it. Is this worse than you | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
thought it would be? Definitely. are given a chance to speak to a | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
couple of inmates. How is it like living in prison? It is not a nice | :08:44. | :08:51. | |
place to be. If I could go home tomorrow, I would. It is soul- | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
destroying. It is not so bad during the day when you have your mates | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
around you but at night to in the sun yourself and you start thinking. | :08:59. | :09:06. | |
It is not easy. We would say, whatever you're doing, stop it. It | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
is just a matter of time, you will come here. You do not want to live | :09:11. | :09:17. | |
this. I all the kids have been deeply affected by the visit, Clary | :09:18. | :09:24. | |
is motivated to turn her back on the past. It makes me feel I need | :09:24. | :09:30. | |
to stop. I'm not going to prison. Do you think you can stop? Yes. | :09:30. | :09:38. | |
Will this help you stop? Yes. The Chief Inspector of Scottish prisons | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
has praised the work of the inclusion Unit at Dunfermline High | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
School and says he would like to see more like it. With two more | :09:46. | :09:53. | |
schools adopting the model, perhaps he will. A very interesting scheme. | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
What do you make of it? It is fascinating. It was obviously | :09:58. | :10:04. | |
having an effect. You are conscious that it is always going to be a | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
time-consuming and one to-one job to take people under your wing and | :10:08. | :10:17. | |
do something about them. That is one of the areas... There is a | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
sense that when you go into any area like that, that is closed down | :10:22. | :10:28. | |
and can be closed down, where you can lose your liberty, it is more | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
shocking than you think. We all think we might be able to survive. | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
We went in primary school. Not quite the same as that but it did | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
have an effect on you. You had a sense of what it would be like took | :10:43. | :10:52. | |
-- to be cooped up. Britain's Lost Routes is your new series. There | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
are four programmes in all, are there? We have chosen quite | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
carefully. There is and medieval route and an early modern one with | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
Queen Elizabeth. They may look at the 18th century and come as far as | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
the 1900s. What interested me is the sense that, when people | :11:11. | :11:17. | |
travelled around Britain, it was that much more... Before the | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
railways really. If you set off in Britain it was an extraordinary | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
journey. There were no roads. This is what is so difficult for us to | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
understand. If you look at the map of turnpike roads at the beginning | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
of the 19th century, you are astounded to find they do not join | :11:36. | :11:42. | |
up with each other. There is a road between Bristol and up a bit Norse | :11:42. | :11:49. | |
and it just stops. People set off and they crossed fields and things. | :11:49. | :11:55. | |
And yet they went. People had to make these journeys. We looked at a | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
lot of different ways they did and there where they survived a what | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
they learnt about the landscape and what it taught us about the way we | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
made our own roads. You mentioned Queen Elizabeth. On the first when | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
you go on a progress and recreate the Queen's Court. You have the | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
tailback of about a mile of cars behind you. It looks amazing. | :12:18. | :12:26. | |
bought everything decree needed - the entire kitchen, all the court | :12:27. | :12:33. | |
documents. -- brought everything the Queen needed. This is well done | :12:33. | :12:39. | |
my people! At over a mile long, it must have been an astonishing sight, | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
snaking through the Elizabethan countryside at an average speed of | :12:45. | :12:54. | |
:12:55. | :12:56. | ||
three miles an hour. Brilliant! needed a way of showing that. We do | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
not have enough bullock carts to put it together so we had to do it | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
with volunteers. It was very pioneering of Queen Elizabeth to go | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
out there and meet the people. lot of monarchs at that time spent | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
time on the road but she loved it. That was the funny thing about her. | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
She invented the walkabout. The Venetian ambassador said, she | :13:20. | :13:27. | |
always went where the crowd was thickest. Who does that remind you | :13:27. | :13:33. | |
of? She loved the acclaim of the people and she used it to support | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
her position. What we discovered was, as so many things we will be | :13:38. | :13:44. | |
involved in this year, derive from things Queen Elizabeth or the Tudor | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
court invented. The Lord-Lieutenant is there. That was a Tudor | :13:50. | :13:56. | |
invention. The coach the Queen goes around in, we did not have coaches | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
before Queen Elizabeth. The walkabout, going around the town | :14:00. | :14:06. | |
and meeting people, ringing bells. Even the idea of the Jubilee, the | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
Ascension, the year in which the Queen rose to the throne being a | :14:10. | :14:15. | |
holiday and something you celebrated. That was Elizabeth I. | :14:15. | :14:21. | |
The pilot for the Olympic Torch as well. Today it was on top of | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
Snowdon. Shining brightly with Chris Bonington. That was a heck of | :14:25. | :14:35. | |
:14:35. | :14:51. | ||
Do they run up there? It occurs rule little stroll. | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
The first episode of Britian's Lost Routes is on Thursday at 8pm on BBC | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
One. A splitting headache can be bad enough, especially in this | :15:01. | :15:09. | |
weather, if you have been suffering. The onset of a chronic my grain can | :15:09. | :15:16. | |
take paying to another level. Emily will be speaking to us short make | :15:16. | :15:21. | |
about an incredible potential new cure, but firstly Dr Mark Porter | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
has been finding out if the answer could be both talks. Emily | :15:26. | :15:33. | |
Leppenwell spends half her life in intense pain. In is like someone is | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
running a circular saw through your head and a searing pain going | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
through to the core. Hunt will last year, Emily worked full-time as | :15:42. | :15:52. | |
:15:52. | :15:58. | ||
well as enjoying a busy family life. Then the first of many my -- | :15:58. | :16:08. | |
migraine tos struck. The World Health Organisation ranks a | :16:08. | :16:13. | |
migraine as a disability. This is my paying diary. The pink days are | :16:13. | :16:19. | |
moderate, the red days are extremely severe, it is a searing | :16:19. | :16:25. | |
pain, it is constant and it wears me down. Has you are watching this, | :16:25. | :16:31. | |
around 200,000 people across the UK are having a migraine attack. They | :16:32. | :16:38. | |
are mostly likely caused by a blip in the brain's chemistry, sending | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
mussels into spasm and the crippling headache is only part of | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
it. They have a lot of other symptoms, including nausea, | :16:46. | :16:52. | |
vomiting, a heightened sense of smell, and Norway's is upsetting | :16:52. | :16:58. | |
them, or even bright light being uncomfortable. Emily's attacks are | :16:58. | :17:04. | |
random, but for other sufferers there are triggers. We know about | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
food - cheese, chocolate and red wine. There are other triggers as | :17:08. | :17:15. | |
well, including stress, not enough sleep, and for women the menstrual | :17:15. | :17:21. | |
cycle. Emily survives on a daily cocktail of drugs, most of them are | :17:21. | :17:28. | |
preventative, prescribed to keep her headaches at bay. I was advised | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
to stop taking painkillers because taking them on a regular basis can | :17:32. | :17:42. | |
:17:42. | :17:42. | ||
cause a rebound headache. Even over the counter tablets can sensitise | :17:43. | :17:50. | |
the brain. There is evidence that it increases chances of having more | :17:50. | :17:56. | |
headaches. Sir far, nothing has worked for Emily. Today, the doctor | :17:56. | :18:03. | |
is going to try the latest migraine treatment, a drug better known for | :18:03. | :18:13. | |
:18:13. | :18:13. | ||
smoothing out facial wrinkles. Botox. She will have injections | :18:13. | :18:19. | |
around her head, neck and shoulders. This is a poisonous muscle relaxant, | :18:19. | :18:27. | |
once considered for use in chemical warfare. It was migraine sufferers | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
having it injected cosmetically who first spotted the pain relief | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
potential. By relaxing the muscle, you reduce the number of attacks, | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
but we do know it doesn't work for people with tension headaches. We | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
don't really know exactly what it does, but we do know that the | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
chemical which is picked up by the nerve endings and then taken up | :18:51. | :18:57. | |
into the brain itself. So what is not an effect on the muscles, it is | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
something going on inside the brain. Precisely. The treatment has only | :19:02. | :19:10. | |
recently been recommended for use in England and Wales. Around half | :19:10. | :19:15. | |
the people given an injection will experience half the number of | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
headache days. That will be the last injection. | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
The prospect of not being in pain every other day has given Emily new | :19:23. | :19:33. | |
hope. I need to get my life back on track. I need to be deficient and | :19:33. | :19:39. | |
able to function every day, not just 15 days a month. Hopefully | :19:39. | :19:46. | |
getting better has given me the inspiration to follow my dream. | :19:46. | :19:52. | |
Emily and Mark are here now and the big question is has it work? Yes, | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
it has been a great success. many headaches are you getting? | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
first I was getting the same frequency of headaches, but in the | :20:01. | :20:07. | |
last 10 days either only had three and normally I would have had seven | :20:07. | :20:13. | |
or 8. That must have made a huge difference. The us, I have loads of | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
energy. There must be a period before it takes effect. As they | :20:17. | :20:24. | |
said, they are not sure exactly how it works but it takes three weeks | :20:24. | :20:29. | |
to work and often carries on so the outlook will be even brighter, | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
although Whitney's to repeated every three months. A any side- | :20:33. | :20:43. | |
:20:43. | :20:44. | ||
effects? I have lost my frown! Raise your eyebrows. Nothing like | :20:44. | :20:52. | |
what she could do before. Next time you go back, asked to go a bit | :20:52. | :21:00. | |
lower. This is a only reserved for the severe cases. How easy is it to | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
get it? At the moment, very difficult, and it will be a last | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
resort to people who have tried everything else and it has not | :21:09. | :21:15. | |
worked. Don't expect to go and say you will get your migraine cleared | :21:15. | :21:21. | |
up and clear your wrinkles at the same time. The way it works is it | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
paralyses sweat glands, but we don't really know how what is | :21:24. | :21:29. | |
working. Probably something to do with brain chemistry. You must be | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
delighted. It must have been awful for you to have headaches that | :21:33. | :21:39. | |
often. A only now it has gone I've realised how much it was affecting | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
me really. I have so much energy. We the extra spare time, what will | :21:44. | :21:52. | |
you do? I am hoping to study medicine. Thank you. | :21:52. | :21:59. | |
Here is a cheeky person who gives most adults a headache. Just | :21:59. | :22:09. | |
:22:09. | :22:10. | ||
William. Here is the background of the author. In this house in | :22:10. | :22:18. | |
Bromley was born a young rebel who drove the girls wild. This | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
schoolboy tearaway was known as Just William, and the writer behind | :22:22. | :22:32. | |
:22:32. | :22:33. | ||
him who lived here, a middle-aged spinster, Richmal Crompton. Britain | :22:33. | :22:41. | |
first heard about William in 1922. Since then, nearly 40 titles rarely | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
out of print have filled children's heads with the antics of a school | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
boy who loved the great outdoors. William and his gang had adventures | :22:51. | :23:00. | |
out in the wide world far away from home, be it the once or the duck | :23:00. | :23:08. | |
pond. The great outdoors around Bromley may well have been his | :23:08. | :23:15. | |
patch. Whilst William was roaming the wilds of suburbia, his creator | :23:15. | :23:24. | |
was often incarcerated in doors. Her parents held a common fear in | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
Victorian times that delicate looking children could develop the | :23:29. | :23:35. | |
curvature of the spine. As she later told a family friend, Mary. | :23:35. | :23:41. | |
They made her spend several hours of every day lying on an awful | :23:41. | :23:48. | |
contraption called aback board. around your arms and legs so you | :23:48. | :23:54. | |
couldn't move. I think she lay there making up stories. It was as | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
if she projected into her stories the child she would love to have | :23:58. | :24:08. | |
:24:08. | :24:10. | ||
But her first love was teaching. After university she became | :24:10. | :24:17. | |
classics mistress at Bromley High in 1917. In her spare time, she | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
indulged in writing and her first William stories appeared in | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
magazines. When they made it onto the bookshelf, her head teacher | :24:25. | :24:34. | |
gave her an ultimatum - her writing or her teaching. Polio was rife, a | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
flu-like virus that attacks the central nervous system, and in 1923 | :24:38. | :24:46. | |
she became one of the cases that year. She was once more trapped at | :24:46. | :24:54. | |
home, and eventually lost the use of her right leg. Her doctor said | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
the cycling as she did three-and a- half miles to school every day to | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
teach was too much for her, and he urged her to give up teaching and | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
stick to writing, which was beginning to go very well for her, | :25:07. | :25:15. | |
which she did. I would say teaching's loss was literature's | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
gain. Richmal Crompton gained handsomely with her best sellers. | :25:19. | :25:25. | |
She earned enough to build this grand home over the next four years, | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
on Bromley Common. The name William had become synonymous with | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
rebellious boyhood. First inspired by her naughty brother Jack... In | :25:35. | :25:43. | |
later years her mischievous nephew Tom gave her plot lines. The my | :25:44. | :25:52. | |
grand mother tells me when he was young he would bring in stag | :25:52. | :26:01. | |
beetles, and she would find them in her laundry. These notorious tales | :26:01. | :26:10. | |
were told right up to her death in 1979. Stage, screen, radio and TV | :26:10. | :26:15. | |
adaptations fell for stories with more than schoolboy humour to them. | :26:15. | :26:21. | |
How do you do? I have come to see you before you die. It is to her | :26:21. | :26:26. | |
eternal credit that the name of her hero is better known than hers, but | :26:26. | :26:32. | |
for all she has taught us about what makes boys tick, she deserves | :26:32. | :26:38. | |
credit of her own. A What a beautiful house. At the | :26:38. | :26:43. | |
start of the show, we set ourselves a challenge of doing the community | :26:43. | :26:48. | |
restoration live. How far do you think they have got with this | :26:48. | :26:56. | |
Portakabin? I hope they have finished it, a Paul -- Portakabin | :26:56. | :27:02. | |
is not a difficult thing to deal with. Let's go over to Marlow in | :27:02. | :27:09. | |
Buckinghamshire. Have you finished? It might be a surprise. Let me give | :27:09. | :27:14. | |
you a quick recap in pictures, because earlier it was quite the | :27:14. | :27:20. | |
state. The paint was peeling, there was no disabled access, and inside | :27:20. | :27:26. | |
the ceiling had collapsed. Now I am joined by Ness, the youth group | :27:26. | :27:34. | |
leader. How important is this place to you? It's is essential. We will | :27:34. | :27:42. | |
be able to welcome new members. Time to lift up the blind fold. | :27:42. | :27:49. | |
my goodness! That is fabulous. Let's have a look at a few things. | :27:49. | :27:57. | |
We have a welcome mat of course, a lovely drinks area, and the paper | :27:57. | :28:03. | |
on there, flowers. Mind your step, this is all wet. Inside, what do | :28:03. | :28:09. | |
you make of that? If it is just wonderful. So you are going to use | :28:09. | :28:16. | |
this now? Yes, we will! I have got to hand out some congratulations, | :28:16. | :28:21. | |
firstly to the builders who have given their time and labour free | :28:21. | :28:27. | |
all day, and to the volunteers. New standards in 20 minute restoration. | :28:27. | :28:37. | |
