:00:19. > :00:23.Hello and welcome to the One Show with Alex Jones
:00:24. > :00:25.and her female-orientated brain. And Matt Baker with
:00:26. > :00:29.his male-skewed brain. Or maybe not.
:00:30. > :00:30.Michael Mosley's here. You've been delving
:00:31. > :00:41.into the science of our brains. It is not quite as straightforward.
:00:42. > :00:47.It is a hugely controversial area. Some scientists think there is a
:00:48. > :00:54.spectrum from the extreme male brain at one end and extreme female brain
:00:55. > :01:08.at the other. I can demonstrate with my lovely assistant. This is quite
:01:09. > :01:12.something! This is the female side and the qualities associated with
:01:13. > :01:23.the female brain which tend to be empathy. And this is the male brain.
:01:24. > :01:29.Understanding systems, if you like and an obsession with facts and
:01:30. > :01:33.logic. Well through the evening everyone at home will be able to
:01:34. > :01:41.find out if there are more male or female. You have the first
:01:42. > :01:56.experiment lined up. Just clasp your hands. Which some is on the top?
:01:57. > :02:06.Just remember that. -- thumb. I shall tell you what that means
:02:07. > :02:12.later. More of that to come. What about our guest tonight? He is the
:02:13. > :02:30.star of the new BBC drama The Driver.
:02:31. > :02:46.It is David Morrissey! Good evening. I ended up with right over left in
:02:47. > :02:52.the end. We will find out what that means. Those experiments coming up
:02:53. > :02:59.with Michael. But before we explain all that, do you think that your
:03:00. > :03:04.brain is male or female? Well I'm looking forward to finding out more
:03:05. > :03:09.about it. I more about the individual than gender. People are
:03:10. > :03:23.all very different. It will be interesting. Emotions, being an
:03:24. > :03:34.actor. And I'm terrible at the usual male things like judging distance.
:03:35. > :03:39.And I will not ask for directions! Later on we will catch up with the
:03:40. > :03:43.actor who was a young boy and found himself as the star of one of the
:03:44. > :04:00.greatest British films of all time, cares. -- Kes. We note that was an
:04:01. > :04:05.inspiration for you. I have that photograph on my kitchen wall. It
:04:06. > :04:12.was a great influence for me. We have been inspired by that film and
:04:13. > :04:17.we want to see the animals that have inspired you in your life. So send
:04:18. > :04:30.us in an image of your inspirational animal. First we had to ( where they
:04:31. > :04:38.are trying something new to cut down on late night drinking. -- we head
:04:39. > :04:43.to Loughborough. Being breathalysed to get into a
:04:44. > :04:48.club? To get into the hotspots has just got that bit harder. For those
:04:49. > :04:53.revellers who may have already had too much to drink. It is part of a
:04:54. > :04:59.pilot scheme aimed at stopping trouble before it starts. Staff on
:05:00. > :05:03.the doors of five bars and clubs in the town have been given the
:05:04. > :05:15.breathalysers and training by police to help them round out potential
:05:16. > :05:23.troublemakers. Tonight we are at the student union bar.
:05:24. > :05:30.I look out for people being carried by other people, or people who are
:05:31. > :05:39.really quiet as well. Then I would think they had too much to drink.
:05:40. > :05:44.This device allows us to use it as a tool so that we can confirm without
:05:45. > :05:49.any doubt that you are drunk. The breath test is set at 70 micrograms,
:05:50. > :06:09.twice the natural drink-driving limit. -- National. You could find
:06:10. > :06:16.yourself left out in the cold. In the town centre there are four
:06:17. > :06:20.more bars who piloted the breathalysed but they did not want
:06:21. > :06:27.cameras around. PC Mike Green is heading up the scheme. The pilot
:06:28. > :06:36.will be reviewed in November. It is for the benefit of everyone. It may
:06:37. > :06:45.be help in people not to become the victims of crime. Someone could get
:06:46. > :06:52.turned away from a participating venue and go into another, we accept
:06:53. > :06:59.that. It is a trial. How do the clubbers feel about the breath test
:07:00. > :07:05.idea? I think it is fair enough. If you're over the limit and you're
:07:06. > :07:07.going to cause trouble. I do not think it is good for the town
:07:08. > :07:15.centre, it will put people off coming. It is not to put people off
:07:16. > :07:21.having a good night. If you had too much, with or without this scheme,
:07:22. > :07:25.they're not going to let you in. It is ten o'clock and the student union
:07:26. > :07:35.bar is getting busy. The bouncer is putting his breathalyser to use.
:07:36. > :07:43.If you fail it is not necessarily that you are bad, it is down to
:07:44. > :07:55.judgement. -- bad. 75. How are you feeling? From my
:07:56. > :08:04.experience that is on the borderline. You know through
:08:05. > :08:10.experience that he is not a troublemaker.
:08:11. > :08:14.But not everyone is so lucid. The bouncer thinks this guy has had more
:08:15. > :08:21.than a couple of drinks he claims to have had. The club thinks that he
:08:22. > :08:25.should be allowed in. Matt does not. In my experience the night will
:08:26. > :08:31.continue and you will deteriorate, you will start to bump into people
:08:32. > :08:36.or be sick. You might as well go home now. He has been refused entry
:08:37. > :08:41.here but he said he will go and try his luck in another bar. Most people
:08:42. > :08:45.I have seen being breathalysed seem to think it is a good idea. If the
:08:46. > :08:51.review in November is positive it could be rolled out to other bars in
:08:52. > :08:56.Loughborough. Or even to a bar near you.
:08:57. > :09:03.It is an interesting idea. It changes the mentality of people
:09:04. > :09:09.going out to drink. Who knows what will happen.
:09:10. > :09:14.Well to talk about the new drama, The Driver. You are starring in it
:09:15. > :09:21.as a cabbie. It is on tomorrow night at nine o'clock on BBC One. But it
:09:22. > :09:26.is not just the drunks that make like -- make life difficult for you.
:09:27. > :09:32.Just explained the background. I think it is his life that is
:09:33. > :09:35.dragging him down. Before I did The Driver I met some cabbies in
:09:36. > :09:41.Manchester and they all loved her job. There are positive about it. So
:09:42. > :09:47.I knew with the drama it must be something else in his life. He is a
:09:48. > :09:52.man with two kids but his son has left home. We do not know where he
:09:53. > :09:58.is and he is not able to talk about it. That is the weight that he is
:09:59. > :10:02.carrying, he is in grief. Then one night he picks up an old friend he
:10:03. > :10:08.has not seen for years. This friend has just got out of jail and starts
:10:09. > :10:12.to put some work his way, no questions asked. My character has a
:10:13. > :10:17.bit of a moral blackout and turns a blind eye. Then he gets more and
:10:18. > :10:23.more into this criminal life and cannot get out. At first it gives
:10:24. > :10:30.him back his Mojo, it gives him money but also a spring in his step.
:10:31. > :10:36.You see him enjoying life. But once he is in there he cannot get out.
:10:37. > :10:41.Well you can catch up on either player, it is the second episode
:10:42. > :10:46.tomorrow and here we have a quick look at that episode.
:10:47. > :10:59.Why do you have blood on your shirt? Coffee. It was not coffee. I
:11:00. > :11:18.checked. It was coffee. You are lying. I know you too well. I am not
:11:19. > :11:25.lying! Dad! Incredibly intense. And you get
:11:26. > :11:32.almost like a physical reaction when you read a script? It is like to
:11:33. > :11:39.read something that you really want to do and you get a little shiver,
:11:40. > :11:45.like butterflies. You want to run towards it or sometimes run away
:11:46. > :11:50.from it! I remember reading Blackpool and thinking, I cannot do
:11:51. > :11:57.that. I did feel nervous about that. All those emotions to me meant that
:11:58. > :12:03.I should do it. Sometimes you do a job and you imagine other actors in
:12:04. > :12:09.the role and as soon as you do that you think, I want this! Danny
:12:10. > :12:14.Brocklehurst wrote this and he is a writer I wanted to work with for
:12:15. > :12:20.years. He pitched me the idea and I really wanted to do it. He came up
:12:21. > :12:24.with this fantastic script. But I had that feeling in my gut from the
:12:25. > :12:34.first time I had a sense of what it was. So it is about that feeling of
:12:35. > :12:37.excitement. The interesting thing is you create a playlist for each
:12:38. > :12:44.character. Sort of an album that goes with that person. Well with him
:12:45. > :12:53.there was a lot of 1980s music. Stone Roses, things like that. My
:12:54. > :12:56.best friend in real life, Ian Hart, also my friend in this, there was a
:12:57. > :13:03.lot of music that he and I would have listened to. And music at me
:13:04. > :13:15.and the woman who plays my wife would have listened to. -- that.
:13:16. > :13:22.A couple of miles on the clock! That was a show called one summer on
:13:23. > :13:31.Channel four. It was about to Scouse lads who run away. And here we are.
:13:32. > :13:37.Five years later. And you can see David in action in
:13:38. > :13:43.the next episode of The Driver tomorrow night on BBC One at nine
:13:44. > :13:48.o'clock. Now to get back to male and female brains. We are excited about
:13:49. > :13:58.the next test. This is a visual and spatial test. It should come up on
:13:59. > :14:04.the screen in a moment. We are going to give you about ten seconds. You
:14:05. > :14:05.have to choose which of these, if you were to fold them up, which
:14:06. > :14:27.would match the one on top. OK. I am happy. I am happy. We are
:14:28. > :14:37.not going to reveal the result just yet. Come and sit down and tell us
:14:38. > :14:41.what it is about. Back in July three giant cooling towers were brought
:14:42. > :14:47.crashing into the ground at Didcot power station in Oxfordshire leaving
:14:48. > :14:54.a gaping hole in the landscape. Just before the demolition we went on a
:14:55. > :14:55.mission to record their power and beauty with the help of an
:14:56. > :15:09.award-winning photographer. As John Betjeman once wrote, if
:15:10. > :15:15.there is some scenery, some uncontentious greenery surviving
:15:16. > :15:17.anywhere it does not need protecting.
:15:18. > :15:25.Soon we will be wrecked in a power station there. Constructed in the
:15:26. > :15:30.1960s Didcot provided power the 2 million homes for 43 years, earning
:15:31. > :15:34.coal and eventually gas in its generators. It was finally turned
:15:35. > :15:39.off last year, forced to close due to EU pollution controls. And now
:15:40. > :15:44.it's going to be demolished. Three of these 114 metre high cooling
:15:45. > :15:49.towers will be blown up, removed from the Oxfordshire landscape in
:15:50. > :15:56.one final puff of smoke. We've got the keys for today so we can give
:15:57. > :15:59.professional photographer of the year might be a chance to preserve
:16:00. > :16:08.the last moments of this vast powerhouse before it is destroyed
:16:09. > :16:12.the good. What is it about these industrial buildings you find so
:16:13. > :16:17.captivating? More than anything they are not places you would normally
:16:18. > :16:22.see day-to-day. It gets me very excited with these grand shapes and
:16:23. > :16:26.spaces carved out by concrete. How do you go about capturing the
:16:27. > :16:30.scale of the buildings? One little trick I like to do is to
:16:31. > :16:34.put somebody in the frame of the photograph, just so people can spot
:16:35. > :16:38.them and is see how big the places in relation to a person that is
:16:39. > :16:42.standing there. Esteemed architect Frederick Gibbon was tasked with
:16:43. > :16:46.incorporating this giant power station into the beautiful rural
:16:47. > :16:49.Oxfordshire countryside. What he did do was split them apart to make them
:16:50. > :16:53.less imposing. So there is three over there in the north-west and he
:16:54. > :17:01.placed three over here in the south-east.
:17:02. > :17:05.Did Kate has certainly divided opinion. It was voted the third
:17:06. > :17:12.worst eyesore by country life readers, whilst inspiring others to
:17:13. > :17:15.celebrate it in verse. -- Didcot. Simon Holloway was here when the
:17:16. > :17:20.site was turned off in 2013 and has worked at Didcot over 30 years.
:17:21. > :17:26.All those years you've invested in this place and suddenly there is no
:17:27. > :17:30.physical memory of it any more. It is emotional and seeing all the
:17:31. > :17:37.recognisable scrap being chopped up, trying to keep a straight face
:17:38. > :17:41.now, but yes it's very emotional. I think being in here really gives
:17:42. > :17:46.you a sense of history and the cycle of change. At the beginning of last
:17:47. > :17:50.year all this was fully functioning. And yet dilapidation has set in,
:17:51. > :17:53.it's being torn apart, and in a couple of years there will be
:17:54. > :18:00.absolutely nothing here, just a few memories and photos.
:18:01. > :18:05.While it's still there and you feel you have captured the spirit of
:18:06. > :18:10.Didcot power station? I certainly hope so. Looking back at it from
:18:11. > :18:13.here now you realise how big a market is on this landscape. But to
:18:14. > :18:18.see it from the inside, something that is about to be confined to
:18:19. > :18:26.history, I hope I have done it justice. -- how big a mark it is.
:18:27. > :18:30.The lifetime of this temple of the carbon age is coming to an end, and
:18:31. > :18:34.with that the memories of coal burning power and the grandeur of
:18:35. > :18:44.the cooling towers will be gone from this skyline for ever.
:18:45. > :18:50.I could watch that again and again. Imagine being the person pressing
:18:51. > :18:55.the button to bring them down. Anyway, Michael, you are back.
:18:56. > :19:01.Michael presents a Horizon documentary: Is Your Brain Male or
:19:02. > :19:11.Female? On BBC Two tonight at 9pm. Earlier on, this happened. I asked
:19:12. > :19:14.you to cross your firm and you were ambiguous, I like that.
:19:15. > :19:18.LAUGHTER Broadly speaking men tend to have
:19:19. > :19:21.the left thumb on top because the left thumb is connected with the
:19:22. > :19:24.right side of the brain and the right side of the brain tends to be
:19:25. > :19:31.whether she will, spatial skills exist and verbal skills on this
:19:32. > :19:35.side. That would suggest you have good verbal skills and you are in
:19:36. > :19:41.touch with that side. We were the other way around. You are a man!
:19:42. > :19:46.There is no wrong way round! There is no wrong way round, is there?
:19:47. > :19:51.These are different skills and it's not the world's most scientific
:19:52. > :19:54.test. We moved on to do the spatial awareness test with a cube. You
:19:55. > :19:59.showed this cube with four options and if we folded them up which one
:20:00. > :20:10.would make the cube that is on top. Which do you think was the answer?
:20:11. > :20:13.C. C. C. You are absolutely right. This is the 1 that blokes tend to be
:20:14. > :20:21.better at. You will be good at this! Evolutionarily blokes have to
:20:22. > :20:25.do a lot of fighting and need better spatial skills to be able to punch
:20:26. > :20:31.and things like that. I see. It's also why little boys perhaps
:20:32. > :20:35.preferred guns and things like that. You have one more test for us to see
:20:36. > :20:41.who is the male and female in this relationship. What is the final one?
:20:42. > :20:51.I'm looking forward to this test! LAUGHTER
:20:52. > :20:56.This one is about emotions. You very kindly acted some emotions. I asked
:20:57. > :21:00.you to do the emotions, but to do them with a jibber -ish language and
:21:01. > :21:05.what you have to do is guess what the emotion is he is expressing. OK.
:21:06. > :21:17.So here is the first one. Here we go.
:21:18. > :21:26.Great acting! It depends on the level of acting, that's the thing.
:21:27. > :21:32.But it is one of the words on the screen. It reminds me of watching S4
:21:33. > :21:42.see when I was a kid. Nothing wrong with S4 C. I'm going with disgust.
:21:43. > :21:48.It was regret. It depends how well you know the person as well. Shall
:21:49. > :21:57.we have a look at the other one. Here is the second one.
:21:58. > :22:17.What would you say, David? Bogarde, I'd say, is there a doctor in the
:22:18. > :22:31.house? Amusement. No! I've seen that look many times, admiration. That's
:22:32. > :22:39.right, admiration. Time for the last one.
:22:40. > :22:50.David. LAUGHTER
:22:51. > :22:57.Is it regret? No, it's anxiety. LAUGHTER
:22:58. > :23:06.Sum it all up for us. LAUGHTER
:23:07. > :23:10.What does it all mean? Please tell us. That is part of a more
:23:11. > :23:15.sophisticated test known as the Geneva emotion recognition test, and
:23:16. > :23:22.there is a much longer and complex test. Thank you, Matt. Women tend to
:23:23. > :23:26.be better at recognising emotions in other people. It's used for testing
:23:27. > :23:30.kids and things like that. The thing about the male and female
:23:31. > :23:34.differences and you may have some of these strengths are not, your son or
:23:35. > :23:37.daughter may have different qualities, but the idea is if you
:23:38. > :23:42.recognise them you can nurture them. This is obviously very
:23:43. > :23:47.engaging and there is a lot more about it on Horizon: Is Your Brain
:23:48. > :23:52.Male or Female? On BBC Two tonight at 9pm. Now to Kes, the film that
:23:53. > :23:56.inspired David to act. Many people think it is one of the best British
:23:57. > :23:59.films ever made. Ruth Goodman has been to South Yorkshire to speak to
:24:00. > :24:09.its lead actor who found himself thrust into the spotlight aged just
:24:10. > :24:14.14. In 1969 the film Kes shook the world
:24:15. > :24:19.of mainstream cinema. It told the story of an isolated teenage boy
:24:20. > :24:23.called Billy Casper, who stole and trained a baby kestrel. It was set
:24:24. > :24:26.in Barnsley in one of the many mining communities that dominated
:24:27. > :24:31.this part of the country at the time. And on the surface it was a
:24:32. > :24:36.story of friendship between a boy and his kestrel. But it went much
:24:37. > :24:42.deeper than that. Casper! On your feet! Disengaged at school Billy was
:24:43. > :24:47.the victim of bullying, even by the teachers. At home he was an easy
:24:48. > :24:51.target for his half brother Jud's bad temper. Billy was played by
:24:52. > :24:56.local boy who was a pupil at the school featured in the film. Hello,
:24:57. > :25:01.lovely to meet you. Nice to meet you too. There was a rumour going on
:25:02. > :25:04.around the school that a teacher Barry Hines had written a book
:25:05. > :25:09.called A Kestrel for a Knave and a film company in London were going to
:25:10. > :25:12.come into town and actually use school pupils. The director was Ken
:25:13. > :25:17.Loach, who brought the reality of British working class life to the
:25:18. > :25:21.screen, often using non-actors for authenticity. There was one
:25:22. > :25:25.particular scene, in the caning sequence, where reality went a
:25:26. > :25:29.little bit too far. The headmaster actually hit us and we went on
:25:30. > :25:34.strike. It was the producer Tony Garnett that got the boys back
:25:35. > :25:41.onside. He offered us 50p extra per caning, per hand and we made about
:25:42. > :25:43.?4 50 that day extra. At the time secondary modern schools were the
:25:44. > :25:49.schools children attended when they failed the 11 plus, an exam every
:25:50. > :25:52.child sat in the last year of primary school. Here children like
:25:53. > :25:58.Billy were expected to go on to more manual work when leaving education.
:25:59. > :26:04.Barry and Ken and Tony Garnett were kind of pointing a finger towards
:26:05. > :26:08.the education authority to actually highlight the fact these kids do
:26:09. > :26:12.have special talents, if you can actually motivate them. Through Kes
:26:13. > :26:16.Billy discovers his talent for Falk and re-. For the first time in
:26:17. > :26:21.school people listened to him when he recalls his experience training
:26:22. > :26:30.the bird. -- falconry. Like lightning. Straight onto the glove.
:26:31. > :26:35.Sadly, for Billy his new-found purpose in life was short lived. Kes
:26:36. > :26:39.was killed by Judd after Willie failed to put on the winning bet for
:26:40. > :26:46.him at the bookies. Although the film had a tragic ending it left a
:26:47. > :26:50.positive legacy when a bird project was set up. Tom Parkin completed the
:26:51. > :26:59.eight week course and in a case of life imitating art it has changed
:27:00. > :27:04.his life too. Who is this? It is J, a hawk. Usually I just sit on the
