You'll just need to keep a really steady hand for this next bit | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
This is going to take all my concentration - | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
Very tricky, you know? CHUCKLES | :00:17. | :00:34. | |
Hello and welcome to The One Show with Matt Baker. | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
And Alex Jones - Tonight's guests are two of the stars from the BBC's | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
award winning medical drama, Holby City - Hugh | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
APPLAUSE Your fans are in the night. | :00:44. | :01:02. | |
Steady. We saw you haven't got the steadiest of | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
Guy - you play Henrick Hanssen the hospital chief and a surgeon | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
in Holby City and as we've just seen you don't have the steadiest | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
of hands which is a bit of a problem for you at work isn't it? | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
it was a big show to come into. I was playing this brilliant surgeon. | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
I am incompetent and I know nothing about it. Marcel, who plays one of | :01:20. | :01:26. | |
the characters, I had to hold a very precise implement with a very long | :01:27. | :01:33. | |
surgical thing. You still haven't got it, have you? Are you with me? | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
There was a slight tremor of fear in my arm. Rosie grabbed my arm and | :01:39. | :01:45. | |
said the first assistant director, is that in shot? And she calmly and | :01:46. | :01:53. | |
quietly held my arm firm while I did my intricate bit of stuff and I've | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
loved her ever since. Good team member. | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
Hugh, you may play surgeon Ric Griffin, we've discovered that | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
you've been in need of medical attention yourself lately - | :02:01. | :02:02. | |
It did not require any hospital treatment. I'm not a good patient. I | :02:03. | :02:11. | |
like to think I can heal myself. This was a sporting injury. Very | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
much in the same vein of Usain Bolt. I was running the anchor leg in the | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
relay. I tore a calf muscle. Painful. I have been limping and | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
milking it ever since. No hospital treatment required. | :02:31. | :02:31. | |
We'll be talking more about what's going on in Holby later. | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
We'll also be chatting to musician Marcus Mumford and footballing | :02:35. | :02:36. | |
legend Les Ferdinand about their charity football match | :02:37. | :02:38. | |
featuring a host of celebrities to raise funds for the victims | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
From Friday the government is due to announce that the majority | :02:42. | :02:56. | |
of all three and four year olds in England will be entitled | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
to thirty hours of free nursery care a week | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
but many nurseries are saying they won't be taking part | :03:04. | :03:05. | |
in the scheme as the numbers simply don't add up for them. | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
Kevin Duala has been to visit one nursery that is finding a way | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
to keep costs down by turning to parents for help. | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
With childcare costs going up, many parents are left questioning whether | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
staying at home to look after their children is more cost-effective than | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
going to work. But now more radical solutions are being looked at. Not | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
only allowing parents cheaper childcare but also spending more | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
time with their kids. Those solutions include parent partnership | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
nurseries. With the parents helping to run things. A handful of these | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
already exist across the UK but now childcare experts are looking to | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
expand the model, specifically across more deprived areas. In New | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
Zealand and Canada it forms a big part of the market. We've been | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
looking at whether that would be appropriate in the UK. I imagine | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
there is a massive financial implication for the parents. There | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
can be savings. Most of the parents we've talked to are more interested | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
in the benefits of seeing what happens to their children while in | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
childcare. How do they work and do regular parents at the time, | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
patients, and skills to help out in a busy nursery? -- have the time. | :04:14. | :04:21. | |
I've come to this nursery in Tower Hamlets. It has been successfully | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
operating as a parent partnership since 2004. I brought along a couple | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
of one show viewers to see if nurseries like this could work for | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
them. Mother of two Sarah is from rain, Essex. It's very expensive to | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
send them in for one morning. I stay at home with him while dad goes to | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
work. Full-time dad Simon is from Northwich, Manchester and is due to | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
go back to work later this year. I just got a place at a local nursery, | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
starting in September. Both will be seeing what it is like to be a | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
parent volunteer. Sarah, you will be helping out in the kitchen. Perfect. | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
You will be on the shop floor, working with the kids, is that all | :05:04. | :05:11. | |
right? Perfect. Catherine has been volunteering here for four years and | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
fit it around a full-time job. On a Wednesday morning every week there | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
cannot be working. I am here. I'm not making an income whilst I am | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
here. I don't think it is actually that much more cost-effective than | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
another nursery, but I think you get the added value of being involved as | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
a parent. All parents that work here goes through basic childcare | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
training and are subject to criminal checks. They are there to help the | :05:38. | :05:46. | |
five permanent members of staff. And families have to commit to at least | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
one shift per week. This way the parents save on fees for that day | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
and the nursery saves on wages. This is your plate. In the kitchen, the | :05:55. | :06:02. | |
parents are responsible for creating, buying, and preparing the | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
menu for the day. Today they have got green peas, a leaf of spinach, | :06:07. | :06:15. | |
that is just so they get to meet it. She has been juggling working here | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
with a full-time job since September. Is there an issue with | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
favouritism? If you are working in a group and your child needs you, do | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
you go to them first? You would think, but when you spend enough | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
time in here you become everybody's mum. It's been a really positive | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
experience. Guess what, I helped your moneymaker that Peter. Some | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
have reservations about this type of nursery. -- helps your money make | :06:42. | :06:50. | |
that pizza. Some people think that parents won't be able to meet the | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
same standards as staff. The qualified professionals bring | :06:57. | :06:58. | |
experience, child protection, safeguarding on all of these areas, | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
it's difficult to train all of the parents volunteering in those areas. | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
But what our volunteer parents think? Sarah, Simon, how are you? | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
Good. You have got involved and asked questions, what are your final | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
thoughts? As long as the Czechs are in place it can benefit everybody. | :07:20. | :07:30. | |
-- as long as the checks are in place it can benefit everybody. | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
There will never be a one size fits all solution. But with pilot schemes | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
starting late in the year it seems like experiments like these can | :07:40. | :07:41. | |
offer one radical solution, at least. | :07:42. | :07:44. | |

As regular viewers of Holby City will no you two don't always see eye | :07:46. | :07:59. | |
to eye. Die, you are a CEO, Hugh, you are a surgeon. -- Guy, you are a | :08:00. | :08:06. | |
CEO. Let's look at some moments here. In these clips you need more | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
than a sticking plaster to fix your problems. Please, don't let me into | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
rocked. I'm not interested in playing power games. It's time for a | :08:20. | :08:30. | |
change. Why is that funny? -- please do let me | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
That was good. How close did you get? I am pretty safe to fight. I | :08:34. | :08:50. | |
would never dream of breaking his nose. But you are frightening. You | :08:51. | :08:59. | |
are the CEO of the hospital. Holby City has been going for 17 years | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
now. Nearly 18. You have managed to avoid the NHS cutbacks. There is a | :09:06. | :09:14. | |
story coming up which involves a merger with another hospital. A | :09:15. | :09:21. | |
drama programme does what it aims to. It does reflect issues people | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
are having. You have been talking about the funding are not. It's not | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
just about the patients. It is very much real life issues. It would be | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
strange if we didn't. It is supposed to be an NHS hospital. The NHS is in | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
crisis. If we ignored it it would seem like we were living in a | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
fairyland and the programme, the show always does try to reflect what | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
is going on. But it is difficult because we film three months before | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
transmission, so we can never quite second-guess what will happen with | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
cuts and Brexit and so forth. And EU nationals leaving the NHS. It feels | :10:01. | :10:07. | |
incredibly real. It is shot at Elstree. We sometimes end up there | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
for Children In Need. It is built like a hospital. Even when you drive | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
around the area where the ambulances go through. Guy, you said he felt | :10:18. | :10:25. | |
nervous, and you can understand why because it feels very real. When I | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
joined, I was nervous, because it is a deeply loved programme and at its | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
best it is a very good programme. You don't want to be the tall idiot, | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
the new surgeon, letting it down, so I was trembling. Brilliantly cast. | :10:42. | :10:47. | |
You do look just like a surgeon. I have a few surgeon mates and you | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
absolutely fit the bill. On the occasions, if I go to hospital to | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
visit a friend, or something, you get strange looks. I am sure. People | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
doing double takes in the corridor wondering why I am there. And some | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
of the doctors think, I'm sure I was in medical school with him, cannot | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
quite place him. One day I was visiting a friend in St George 's in | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
tooting and a man came up to me in the canteen and said I can't believe | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
you are here, my wife is a big fan of the show, she loves Henrick | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
Hanssen, my character, she came in for a massive heart operation last | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
week. And he said she had said if only Henrick Hanssen had been here I | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
would be all right. But we went and said hello to her. That was nice. | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
She really liked it. And you had a similar experience, didn't you? Mine | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
was poignant. I was on holiday. South-west France. I was going round | :11:49. | :11:55. | |
a market with a family friend. I saw a lady in the corner of my eye | :11:56. | :12:02. | |
trying to get my attention, I walked away, but she did corner me and | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
said, thank you for saving my life. And I was puzzled. She explained | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
that she had been a big fan of the series. And had the same cancer that | :12:14. | :12:26. | |
my character had. It had metastasised to the liver. Usually | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
when that happens it is a fairly fatal. But because we have a | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
brilliant surgeon in the shape of Henrick Hanssen, he gave me what is | :12:35. | :12:42. | |
called a special procedure, basically chopping up my liver, and | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
I lived to see another day. She had the same condition. She demanded a | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
second opinion after following the story. Because it had also | :12:53. | :13:00. | |
metastasised to her liver. And there she was two years later telling the | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
tale. She told the story to me, my wife, we all had wet eyes. If she is | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
watching I hope she gets in touch. That is the power of television | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
drama. We inadvertently did something good, well, you did. You | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
have been there for quite some time. Guy you took a two year break | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
from Holby city and ended I know the joy of doing what you | :13:24. | :13:34. | |
did. Really? Well, ever since I was a tiny thing I wanted to be a coach | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
driver. A lovely thing. I thought, you are 51, do it. I went to Giles | :13:40. | :13:45. | |
and Julian in Chingford. Not as posh as they sound. | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
CHUCKLES They taught me to drive a coach. | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
I've always wanted to be a coach driver. I have passed my license. I | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
have driven professionally for a company in Wimbledon. I had to say | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
to some of the passengers who looked extremely worried and concerned that | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
this bloke off the telly was going to be driving them to Birmingham. I | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
did say, believe me, I never qualified as a surgeon but I have | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
passed my bus driving test. CHUCKLES | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
If they ever take this and Holby City of the air, we can drive | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
together. How come? It is a long story. It is good, isn't it? Yes. | :14:25. | :14:33. | |
Holby City is on at 8pm tonight on BBC One and | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
Regular viewers of Holby City will know that the drama mirrors | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
the real world of medical developments and cutting edge | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
techniques - so writers will be interested in this next VT | :14:43. | :14:44. | |
the first NHS patient who benefit a new technique which has enabled | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
You know how irritating it is when you get a smart on your glasses? | :14:51. | :14:58. | |
Just imagine what it would be like if you couldn't wipe it away and it | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
covered up everything you wanted to see. This is a simulation of | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
age-related macular degeneration, it affects more than 600,000 people in | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
the UK and so far there is no cure. Annie has been living with the | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
disease for eight years, but the loss of her vision is still | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
painfully vivid. When I was reading all of the writing was going up. It | :15:23. | :15:29. | |
was all slanted. They sent me to a consultant. He diagnosed me with | :15:30. | :15:38. | |
AMD, there was no cure. I was devastated. I cried. In fact, | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
talking about it now... It's just awful. The disease tends to affect | :15:44. | :15:52. | |
people over 65, but Annie was only 57. The change for Annie and her | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
partner was dramatic. It was a god send. He is my eyes. Directly | :15:57. | :16:14. | |
looking at anyone, it's just a mist. The biggest challenge has been | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
looking after her grandchildren. My daughter works late at night, I put | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
him to bed, and I cannot read him a bedtime story. But there is light at | :16:23. | :16:31. | |
the end of the tunnel. A hospital has developed a procedure but it is | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
only available privately. Now, recognising its huge benefits the | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
NHS has agreed to fund it. Today, Annie is the first NHS patient to | :16:41. | :16:42. | |
have the operation. It causes damage to cells at the | :16:43. | :16:51. | |
back of the eye. The background should be orange and you can see it | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
is more yellow and there is no damage to that area. Because the | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
damaged area cannot be repaired, the only option is to compensate for it. | :17:00. | :17:05. | |
Specialists have developed a tiny telescope which becomes like | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
telephoto lens and a camera. It projects the image onto the healthy | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
parts of the retina making the blindspot seem much smaller. And | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
they will be able to recognise the eyes, the mouth, the rest of the | :17:19. | :17:24. | |
face, she might not see the tip of the nose. Only one I will have the | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
telescope giving her two sorts of vision. The eye that has the implant | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
and will be able to function and see centrally and the other eye will | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
make sure she does not bump into things. There are risks but it is | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
alike transforming operation. Annie is being given a local anaesthetic, | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
it will numb the pain and stop are seeing and this will help to stay | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
calm as she will be awake during the procedure. I am not frightened, I | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
just want it done. How are you? Beautiful. The first task is to | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
remove the natural lens to make way for the telescope. We have got very | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
little space here. You can damage the cornea and you do not want to go | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
into deep to damage the sack work the telescope will be inserted. With | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
the lens removed, the doctor can now implant the telescope. It is a big | :18:19. | :18:25. | |
device for a eye. It lodges a whole system of lenses in their in order | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
to provide the magnification we need. Inserting the telescope has to | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
be done with the utmost care. This is a critical moment now. That is | :18:36. | :18:44. | |
beautiful. He is happy with the positioning, but the incision is | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
closed. How are you doing down there? Very good. We are closing up | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
now and you have been an amazing patient. It has all gone well and | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
Annie's next challenge will be learning to use her new eyes. In a | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
couple of weeks she will need to start rehabilitation and this will | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
take between four and six months and she will learn how to focus and use | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
the telescope to enable her to improve their quality of life and | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
her central vision. It is the beginning of a long journey for | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
Annie but she is clear which he is looking forward to most. Their | :19:19. | :19:25. | |
faces, their expressions, like Finn laughing and that is what I want | :19:26. | :19:31. | |
most of all. Well, we spoke to Annie today and it has been nine months | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
since the operation which happened in November. She says that she can | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
now read but it is difficult, she sees progress but it is still hard | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
work but more importantly, she can now see the faces of her | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
grandchildren which is the main thing she wanted. She recognises it | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
is early days and these things take time. We wish all the very best. We | :19:52. | :19:58. | |
are joined by Les Ferdinand and musician Marcus. | :19:59. | :20:05. | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. -- Marcus Mumford. You're here to talk about | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
this charity football match to raise funds for the victims of the | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
Grenfell fire. Where did this idea come from initially, Les? Basically, | :20:15. | :20:24. | |
when I saw the fire on the night of the fire, I got some messages saying | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
about the fire and that was one from Tony Fernandes, one of the owners of | :20:29. | :20:36. | |
QPR who said they set something up at the stadium for donations. The | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
next message was let's try and do a concert or something to raise funds. | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
I grew up on the estate and I said, I grew up playing football around | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
here, we are a football club, put on a football match. See how we can | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
help. I know a lot of the victims are talking about not getting enough | :20:56. | :21:01. | |
help and there is not enough care. I said to Tony, let's see if we can do | :21:02. | :21:04. | |
something, get some people together and see if we can do something to | :21:05. | :21:10. | |
help. How do you come into this market is? You did not know each | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
other. I had a little miniature flares when I was a kid! -- | :21:17. | :21:25. | |
miniature of Les Ferdinand. When we met, I was like, your head is much | :21:26. | :21:33. | |
Mahler. I live locally and I saw the Tower on that Wednesday morning. | :21:34. | :21:40. | |
Like a lot of people who live in the area, I went down and was privileged | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
enough to be in the room with survivors from the first day and met | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
lots of different groups and watch them come together and start finding | :21:50. | :21:57. | |
each other. Once having the privilege, then it led to a | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
responsibility to stick around and try and find creative ways to try | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
and support their process of healing. They have been through so | :22:05. | :22:10. | |
much and it is hard to get your head around and why they need so much | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
more support than there are currently getting. Part of thinking | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
creatively was thinking over the summer, what can we do and we | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
started talking to QPR about a game and they were amenable to the idea | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
of helping to support a football programme over the summer for kids | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
which we had done and it has been amazing. We did that at the Westway | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
with QPR, Chelsea, full coaches all coming down to coach the children. | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
It is a way for them to be occupied in the long summer months after the | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
disaster and a bit of free childcare for the parents. It has been cool | :22:47. | :22:52. | |
and that culminates in this Game4Grenfell. You are playing as | :22:53. | :23:00. | |
well? I am managing one of the teams. | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. Alan Shearer, there is some friendly rivalry there | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
in Newcastle, is he going to be on the pitch? He broke his arm last | :23:11. | :23:17. | |
week. Convenient! It is not a bad excuse. He is coming all the way | :23:18. | :23:24. | |
from Newcastle because he wants to be part of it. He is going to | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
manage, he was going to play because I was playing but then he broke his | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
arm. So many people are coming down. There is quite a team. I am going to | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
bring this end. Look at the team list. I will let everyone at home | :23:40. | :23:45. | |
save. You have got some great names. Olly Murs. Tiny temper. Jarvis | :23:46. | :23:57. | |
Cocker. Jamie Dornan. James Bay. Richard Ashcroft, a star-macro... -- | :23:58. | :24:12. | |
Serge Pizzorno. Today we were able to announce that Mo Farah will be | :24:13. | :24:20. | |
playing as well. Linford Christie is coming down, he cannot play but he | :24:21. | :24:27. | |
wants to support us. Are you playing, Marcus? I am, if he gives | :24:28. | :24:36. | |
me a shot. His idea is to nutmeg me. What is that? It means put the ball | :24:37. | :24:39. | |
through someone's legs get it on the other side. He does not realise, I | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
am the manager! He might not get an opportunity to do it. What is the | :24:45. | :24:50. | |
situation with tickets? How do people get them? Are there any left? | :24:51. | :24:57. | |
There is still a lot available. On the website for Game4Grenfell. There | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
are still tickets available. The point of this thing is to show | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
support and love to this community that has been through a lot. It is a | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
day to focus on something else, other than the tragedy. We really | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
want to show support. We want to welcome people to the stadium. It | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
will not end here. This is just part of it. We want to be supporting them | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
through this, we want to put programmes on as well. It is not the | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
be all and end all, it is one small part of supporting the community. | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
They will need support for a long time and there are issues about | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
housing, justice and honouring the memory of those who were lost and | :25:39. | :25:41. | |
listening to survivors. APPLAUSE. For those who cannot get | :25:42. | :25:48. | |
to the stadium, they can watch it. It is on Sky 1 and Pick. Good luck | :25:49. | :25:56. | |
with the nutmeg! Whatever that means. Three o'clock on Sky 1. When | :25:57. | :26:03. | |
Ian Lavine set out to researchers family tree, he could never have | :26:04. | :26:06. | |
predicted that it could have branched out as much as it did. We | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
sent route to Watford along with our cameras to capture the ultimate | :26:12. | :26:17. | |
family photo -- Ruth Goodman. For two decades Iain Levine had been on | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
a mission to find his extended family, who he thought had been | :26:22. | :26:29. | |
virtually wiped out. My great grandfather was born in 1839, one of | :26:30. | :26:37. | |
nine brothers. They were born in a little village in Latvia. While most | :26:38. | :26:45. | |
of the family stayed in Latvia, Ian's great-great-grandfather came | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
to England in the 1800, a move which saved Ian side of the family from | :26:51. | :26:56. | |
the German invasion in World War II. In 1941, the Nazis came along and | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
their mission was to march in and kill every Jewish person. We lost | :27:02. | :27:08. | |
hundreds of Kuklas in the Holocaust. He wondered if any Latvian Kuklas | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
had survived and set about finding their relatives. He managed to track | :27:13. | :27:21. | |
them down in countries as far away as Australia, America, Russia and | :27:22. | :27:26. | |
Israel. And today, hundreds of the descendants of the original nine | :27:27. | :27:30. | |
Kuklas brothers are gathered for a family reunion. Take your | :27:31. | :27:36. | |
photographs now, please, this is history, you will not have another | :27:37. | :27:40. | |
chance. Nine different descendants here. What a fantastic thing to have | :27:41. | :27:47. | |
all of them here today. The family thought they had no Kuklas left. | :27:48. | :27:51. | |
Reuniting them, that makes my heart sing with joy. Many of these | :27:52. | :27:55. | |
relatives had never met before, so how are they to tell who is related | :27:56. | :28:00. | |
to which of the original nine brothers? Sixth generation Kukla has | :28:01. | :28:06. | |
the answer? There are nine branches to this family. We have coded them | :28:07. | :28:17. | |
in nine colours. Everyone gets a coloured lanyard and the colour will | :28:18. | :28:21. | |
denote their line of descent. This woman has come all the way from | :28:22. | :28:26. | |
Florida. She has been helping Ian bring together the ninth Kukla | :28:27. | :28:31. | |
family trees. It is remarkably collaborative. And people Lee | :28:32. | :28:37. | |
submitted their trees and our job was to assemble all these trees | :28:38. | :28:42. | |
together into one. It is such fun and we are meeting people that we | :28:43. | :28:48. | |
never knew existed. And hearing the stories, it is so interesting. And | :28:49. | :28:52. | |
some of those stories are emerging for the first time. This man has | :28:53. | :28:57. | |
only recently told his daughter about how he survived the Holocaust | :28:58. | :29:01. | |
while others died at the hands of the Nazis. It was difficult to talk | :29:02. | :29:14. | |
about it. Sure. He is joking. He told me how my grandfather was | :29:15. | :29:21. | |
killed. And how my great-grandfather was burned with over 1200 people in | :29:22. | :29:27. | |
a synagogue including other Kuklas from my family. There is a history | :29:28. | :29:32. | |
here that binds this family together, like few others. The Kukla | :29:33. | :29:39. | |
family tree is now 180 feet long and among those who found new relatives | :29:40. | :29:44. | |
are Alexander and his sister from Israel. We thought that everyone was | :29:45. | :29:50. | |
gone in the Holocaust. Two people with no people to two people with a | :29:51. | :29:59. | |
huge family! Unbelievable. And as a memento of this time, when all the | :30:00. | :30:03. | |
modern-day Kukla generations are brought together, they are taking a | :30:04. | :30:07. | |
new family photograph, so very different from the last one. This | :30:08. | :30:12. | |
reunion is a celebration of survival, a celebration of the nine | :30:13. | :30:18. | |
brothers and also a tearful memory of all the ones who have died and | :30:19. | :30:22. | |
been lost in the Holocaust. So many died, but so many survived. The | :30:23. | :30:26. | |
stories of the Holocaust can be passed down the generation, we must | :30:27. | :30:29. | |
never forget and allow the world to forget. Imagine the birthday cards! | :30:30. | :30:36. | |
Imagine how much you would spend on stamps. If you have got a reunion | :30:37. | :30:39. | |
story you would like us to live that or you want to trace a family | :30:40. | :30:43. | |
member, e-mail us at the usual address and our team might be able | :30:44. | :30:49. | |
to help. A big thank you to all of our guests this evening. The | :30:50. | :30:58. | |
Game4Grenfell is on Saturday on sky one and Pick. You can see Holby City | :30:59. | :31:03. | |
tonight. We will see you tomorrow with Professor Brian Cox. Goodbye. | :31:04. | :31:07. |
