Hello and welcome to the One Show with Alex Jones | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
and her female-orientated brain. And Matt Baker with | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
his male-skewed brain. Or maybe not. | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
Michael Mosley's here. You've been delving | :00:30. | :00:30. | |
into the science of our brains. It is not quite as straightforward. | :00:31. | :00:41. | |
It is a hugely controversial area. Some scientists think there is a | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
spectrum from the extreme male brain at one end and extreme female brain | :00:48. | :00:54. | |
at the other. I can demonstrate with my lovely assistant. This is quite | :00:55. | :01:08. | |
something! This is the female side and the qualities associated with | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
the female brain which tend to be empathy. And this is the male brain. | :01:13. | :01:23. | |
Understanding systems, if you like and an obsession with facts and | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
logic. Well through the evening everyone at home will be able to | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
find out if there are more male or female. You have the first | :01:34. | :01:41. | |
experiment lined up. Just clasp your hands. Which some is on the top? | :01:42. | :01:56. | |
Just remember that. -- thumb. I shall tell you what that means | :01:57. | :02:06. | |
later. More of that to come. What about our guest tonight? He is the | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
star of the new BBC drama The Driver. | :02:13. | :02:30. | |
It is David Morrissey! Good evening. I ended up with right over left in | :02:31. | :02:46. | |
the end. We will find out what that means. Those experiments coming up | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
with Michael. But before we explain all that, do you think that your | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
brain is male or female? Well I'm looking forward to finding out more | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
about it. I more about the individual than gender. People are | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
all very different. It will be interesting. Emotions, being an | :03:10. | :03:23. | |
actor. And I'm terrible at the usual male things like judging distance. | :03:24. | :03:34. | |
And I will not ask for directions! Later on we will catch up with the | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
actor who was a young boy and found himself as the star of one of the | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
greatest British films of all time, cares. -- Kes. We note that was an | :03:44. | :04:00. | |
inspiration for you. I have that photograph on my kitchen wall. It | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
was a great influence for me. We have been inspired by that film and | :04:06. | :04:12. | |
we want to see the animals that have inspired you in your life. So send | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
us in an image of your inspirational animal. First we had to ( where they | :04:18. | :04:30. | |
are trying something new to cut down on late night drinking. -- we head | :04:31. | :04:38. | |
to Loughborough. Being breathalysed to get into a | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
club? To get into the hotspots has just got that bit harder. For those | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
revellers who may have already had too much to drink. It is part of a | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
pilot scheme aimed at stopping trouble before it starts. Staff on | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
the doors of five bars and clubs in the town have been given the | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
breathalysers and training by police to help them round out potential | :05:04. | :05:15. | |
troublemakers. Tonight we are at the student union bar. | :05:16. | :05:23. | |
I look out for people being carried by other people, or people who are | :05:24. | :05:30. | |
really quiet as well. Then I would think they had too much to drink. | :05:31. | :05:39. | |
This device allows us to use it as a tool so that we can confirm without | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
any doubt that you are drunk. The breath test is set at 70 micrograms, | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
twice the natural drink-driving limit. -- National. You could find | :05:50. | :06:09. | |
yourself left out in the cold. In the town centre there are four | :06:10. | :06:16. | |
more bars who piloted the breathalysed but they did not want | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
cameras around. PC Mike Green is heading up the scheme. The pilot | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
will be reviewed in November. It is for the benefit of everyone. It may | :06:28. | :06:36. | |
be help in people not to become the victims of crime. Someone could get | :06:37. | :06:45. | |
turned away from a participating venue and go into another, we accept | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
that. It is a trial. How do the clubbers feel about the breath test | :06:53. | :06:59. | |
idea? I think it is fair enough. If you're over the limit and you're | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
going to cause trouble. I do not think it is good for the town | :07:06. | :07:07. | |
centre, it will put people off coming. It is not to put people off | :07:08. | :07:15. | |
having a good night. If you had too much, with or without this scheme, | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
they're not going to let you in. It is ten o'clock and the student union | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
bar is getting busy. The bouncer is putting his breathalyser to use. | :07:26. | :07:35. | |
If you fail it is not necessarily that you are bad, it is down to | :07:36. | :07:43. | |
judgement. -- bad. 75. How are you feeling? From my | :07:44. | :07:55. | |
experience that is on the borderline. You know through | :07:56. | :08:04. | |
experience that he is not a troublemaker. | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
But not everyone is so lucid. The bouncer thinks this guy has had more | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
than a couple of drinks he claims to have had. The club thinks that he | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
should be allowed in. Matt does not. In my experience the night will | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
continue and you will deteriorate, you will start to bump into people | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
or be sick. You might as well go home now. He has been refused entry | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
here but he said he will go and try his luck in another bar. Most people | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
I have seen being breathalysed seem to think it is a good idea. If the | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
review in November is positive it could be rolled out to other bars in | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
Loughborough. Or even to a bar near you. | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
It is an interesting idea. It changes the mentality of people | :08:57. | :09:03. | |
going out to drink. Who knows what will happen. | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
Well to talk about the new drama, The Driver. You are starring in it | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
as a cabbie. It is on tomorrow night at nine o'clock on BBC One. But it | :09:15. | :09:21. | |
is not just the drunks that make like -- make life difficult for you. | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
Just explained the background. I think it is his life that is | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
dragging him down. Before I did The Driver I met some cabbies in | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
Manchester and they all loved her job. There are positive about it. So | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
I knew with the drama it must be something else in his life. He is a | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
man with two kids but his son has left home. We do not know where he | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
is and he is not able to talk about it. That is the weight that he is | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
carrying, he is in grief. Then one night he picks up an old friend he | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
has not seen for years. This friend has just got out of jail and starts | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
to put some work his way, no questions asked. My character has a | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
bit of a moral blackout and turns a blind eye. Then he gets more and | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
more into this criminal life and cannot get out. At first it gives | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
him back his Mojo, it gives him money but also a spring in his step. | :10:24. | :10:30. | |
You see him enjoying life. But once he is in there he cannot get out. | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
Well you can catch up on either player, it is the second episode | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
tomorrow and here we have a quick look at that episode. | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
Why do you have blood on your shirt? Coffee. It was not coffee. I | :10:47. | :10:59. | |
checked. It was coffee. You are lying. I know you too well. I am not | :11:00. | :11:18. | |
lying! Dad! Incredibly intense. And you get | :11:19. | :11:25. | |
almost like a physical reaction when you read a script? It is like to | :11:26. | :11:32. | |
read something that you really want to do and you get a little shiver, | :11:33. | :11:39. | |
like butterflies. You want to run towards it or sometimes run away | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
from it! I remember reading Blackpool and thinking, I cannot do | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
that. I did feel nervous about that. All those emotions to me meant that | :11:51. | :11:57. | |
I should do it. Sometimes you do a job and you imagine other actors in | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
the role and as soon as you do that you think, I want this! Danny | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
Brocklehurst wrote this and he is a writer I wanted to work with for | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
years. He pitched me the idea and I really wanted to do it. He came up | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
with this fantastic script. But I had that feeling in my gut from the | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
first time I had a sense of what it was. So it is about that feeling of | :12:25. | :12:34. | |
excitement. The interesting thing is you create a playlist for each | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
character. Sort of an album that goes with that person. Well with him | :12:38. | :12:44. | |
there was a lot of 1980s music. Stone Roses, things like that. My | :12:45. | :12:53. | |
best friend in real life, Ian Hart, also my friend in this, there was a | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
lot of music that he and I would have listened to. And music at me | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
and the woman who plays my wife would have listened to. -- that. | :13:04. | :13:15. | |
A couple of miles on the clock! That was a show called one summer on | :13:16. | :13:22. | |
Channel four. It was about to Scouse lads who run away. And here we are. | :13:23. | :13:31. | |
Five years later. And you can see David in action in | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
the next episode of The Driver tomorrow night on BBC One at nine | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
o'clock. Now to get back to male and female brains. We are excited about | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
the next test. This is a visual and spatial test. It should come up on | :13:49. | :13:58. | |
the screen in a moment. We are going to give you about ten seconds. You | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
have to choose which of these, if you were to fold them up, which | :14:05. | :14:05. | |
would match the one on top. OK. I am happy. I am happy. We are | :14:06. | :14:27. | |
not going to reveal the result just yet. Come and sit down and tell us | :14:28. | :14:37. | |
what it is about. Back in July three giant cooling towers were brought | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
crashing into the ground at Didcot power station in Oxfordshire leaving | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
a gaping hole in the landscape. Just before the demolition we went on a | :14:48. | :14:54. | |
mission to record their power and beauty with the help of an | :14:55. | :14:55. | |
award-winning photographer. As John Betjeman once wrote, if | :14:56. | :15:09. | |
there is some scenery, some uncontentious greenery surviving | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
anywhere it does not need protecting. | :15:16. | :15:17. | |
Soon we will be wrecked in a power station there. Constructed in the | :15:18. | :15:25. | |
1960s Didcot provided power the 2 million homes for 43 years, earning | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
coal and eventually gas in its generators. It was finally turned | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
off last year, forced to close due to EU pollution controls. And now | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
it's going to be demolished. Three of these 114 metre high cooling | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
towers will be blown up, removed from the Oxfordshire landscape in | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
one final puff of smoke. We've got the keys for today so we can give | :15:50. | :15:56. | |
professional photographer of the year might be a chance to preserve | :15:57. | :15:59. | |
the last moments of this vast powerhouse before it is destroyed | :16:00. | :16:08. | |
the good. What is it about these industrial buildings you find so | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
captivating? More than anything they are not places you would normally | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
see day-to-day. It gets me very excited with these grand shapes and | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
spaces carved out by concrete. How do you go about capturing the | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
scale of the buildings? One little trick I like to do is to | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
put somebody in the frame of the photograph, just so people can spot | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
them and is see how big the places in relation to a person that is | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
standing there. Esteemed architect Frederick Gibbon was tasked with | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
incorporating this giant power station into the beautiful rural | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
Oxfordshire countryside. What he did do was split them apart to make them | :16:47. | :16:49. | |
less imposing. So there is three over there in the north-west and he | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
placed three over here in the south-east. | :16:54. | :17:01. | |
Did Kate has certainly divided opinion. It was voted the third | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
worst eyesore by country life readers, whilst inspiring others to | :17:06. | :17:12. | |
celebrate it in verse. -- Didcot. Simon Holloway was here when the | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
site was turned off in 2013 and has worked at Didcot over 30 years. | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
All those years you've invested in this place and suddenly there is no | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
physical memory of it any more. It is emotional and seeing all the | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
recognisable scrap being chopped up, trying to keep a straight face | :17:31. | :17:37. | |
now, but yes it's very emotional. I think being in here really gives | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
you a sense of history and the cycle of change. At the beginning of last | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
year all this was fully functioning. And yet dilapidation has set in, | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
it's being torn apart, and in a couple of years there will be | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
absolutely nothing here, just a few memories and photos. | :17:54. | :18:00. | |
While it's still there and you feel you have captured the spirit of | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
Didcot power station? I certainly hope so. Looking back at it from | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
here now you realise how big a market is on this landscape. But to | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
see it from the inside, something that is about to be confined to | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
history, I hope I have done it justice. -- how big a mark it is. | :18:19. | :18:26. | |
The lifetime of this temple of the carbon age is coming to an end, and | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
with that the memories of coal burning power and the grandeur of | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
the cooling towers will be gone from this skyline for ever. | :18:35. | :18:44. | |
I could watch that again and again. Imagine being the person pressing | :18:45. | :18:50. | |
the button to bring them down. Anyway, Michael, you are back. | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
Michael presents a Horizon documentary: Is Your Brain Male or | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
Female? On BBC Two tonight at 9pm. Earlier on, this happened. I asked | :19:02. | :19:11. | |
you to cross your firm and you were ambiguous, I like that. | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
LAUGHTER Broadly speaking men tend to have | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
the left thumb on top because the left thumb is connected with the | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
right side of the brain and the right side of the brain tends to be | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
whether she will, spatial skills exist and verbal skills on this | :19:25. | :19:31. | |
side. That would suggest you have good verbal skills and you are in | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
touch with that side. We were the other way around. You are a man! | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
There is no wrong way round! There is no wrong way round, is there? | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
These are different skills and it's not the world's most scientific | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
test. We moved on to do the spatial awareness test with a cube. You | :19:52. | :19:54. | |
showed this cube with four options and if we folded them up which one | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
would make the cube that is on top. Which do you think was the answer? | :20:00. | :20:10. | |
C. C. C. You are absolutely right. This is the 1 that blokes tend to be | :20:11. | :20:13. | |
better at. You will be good at this! Evolutionarily blokes have to | :20:14. | :20:21. | |
do a lot of fighting and need better spatial skills to be able to punch | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
and things like that. I see. It's also why little boys perhaps | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
preferred guns and things like that. You have one more test for us to see | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
who is the male and female in this relationship. What is the final one? | :20:36. | :20:41. | |
I'm looking forward to this test! LAUGHTER | :20:42. | :20:51. | |
This one is about emotions. You very kindly acted some emotions. I asked | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
you to do the emotions, but to do them with a jibber -ish language and | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
what you have to do is guess what the emotion is he is expressing. OK. | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
So here is the first one. Here we go. | :21:06. | :21:17. | |
Great acting! It depends on the level of acting, that's the thing. | :21:18. | :21:26. | |
But it is one of the words on the screen. It reminds me of watching S4 | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
see when I was a kid. Nothing wrong with S4 C. I'm going with disgust. | :21:33. | :21:42. | |
It was regret. It depends how well you know the person as well. Shall | :21:43. | :21:48. | |
we have a look at the other one. Here is the second one. | :21:49. | :21:57. | |
What would you say, David? Bogarde, I'd say, is there a doctor in the | :21:58. | :22:17. | |
house? Amusement. No! I've seen that look many times, admiration. That's | :22:18. | :22:31. | |
right, admiration. Time for the last one. | :22:32. | :22:39. | |
David. LAUGHTER | :22:40. | :22:50. | |
Is it regret? No, it's anxiety. LAUGHTER | :22:51. | :22:57. | |
Sum it all up for us. LAUGHTER | :22:58. | :23:06. | |
What does it all mean? Please tell us. That is part of a more | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
sophisticated test known as the Geneva emotion recognition test, and | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
there is a much longer and complex test. Thank you, Matt. Women tend to | :23:16. | :23:22. | |
be better at recognising emotions in other people. It's used for testing | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
kids and things like that. The thing about the male and female | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
differences and you may have some of these strengths are not, your son or | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
daughter may have different qualities, but the idea is if you | :23:35. | :23:37. | |
recognise them you can nurture them. This is obviously very | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
engaging and there is a lot more about it on Horizon: Is Your Brain | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
Male or Female? On BBC Two tonight at 9pm. Now to Kes, the film that | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
inspired David to act. Many people think it is one of the best British | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
films ever made. Ruth Goodman has been to South Yorkshire to speak to | :23:57. | :23:59. | |
its lead actor who found himself thrust into the spotlight aged just | :24:00. | :24:09. | |
14. In 1969 the film Kes shook the world | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
of mainstream cinema. It told the story of an isolated teenage boy | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
called Billy Casper, who stole and trained a baby kestrel. It was set | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
in Barnsley in one of the many mining communities that dominated | :24:24. | :24:26. | |
this part of the country at the time. And on the surface it was a | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
story of friendship between a boy and his kestrel. But it went much | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
deeper than that. Casper! On your feet! Disengaged at school Billy was | :24:37. | :24:42. | |
the victim of bullying, even by the teachers. At home he was an easy | :24:43. | :24:47. | |
target for his half brother Jud's bad temper. Billy was played by | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
local boy who was a pupil at the school featured in the film. Hello, | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
lovely to meet you. Nice to meet you too. There was a rumour going on | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
around the school that a teacher Barry Hines had written a book | :25:02. | :25:04. | |
called A Kestrel for a Knave and a film company in London were going to | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
come into town and actually use school pupils. The director was Ken | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
Loach, who brought the reality of British working class life to the | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
screen, often using non-actors for authenticity. There was one | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
particular scene, in the caning sequence, where reality went a | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
little bit too far. The headmaster actually hit us and we went on | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
strike. It was the producer Tony Garnett that got the boys back | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
onside. He offered us 50p extra per caning, per hand and we made about | :25:35. | :25:41. | |
?4 50 that day extra. At the time secondary modern schools were the | :25:42. | :25:43. | |
schools children attended when they failed the 11 plus, an exam every | :25:44. | :25:49. | |
child sat in the last year of primary school. Here children like | :25:50. | :25:52. | |
Billy were expected to go on to more manual work when leaving education. | :25:53. | :25:58. | |
Barry and Ken and Tony Garnett were kind of pointing a finger towards | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
the education authority to actually highlight the fact these kids do | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
have special talents, if you can actually motivate them. Through Kes | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
Billy discovers his talent for Falk and re-. For the first time in | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
school people listened to him when he recalls his experience training | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
the bird. -- falconry. Like lightning. Straight onto the glove. | :26:22. | :26:30. | |
Sadly, for Billy his new-found purpose in life was short lived. Kes | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
was killed by Judd after Willie failed to put on the winning bet for | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
him at the bookies. Although the film had a tragic ending it left a | :26:40. | :26:46. | |
positive legacy when a bird project was set up. Tom Parkin completed the | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
eight week course and in a case of life imitating art it has changed | :26:51. | :26:59. | |
his life too. Who is this? It is J, a hawk. Usually I just sit on the | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
PlayStation laying games. But then I went into training. Just as Billy | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
did in the film Tom has developed a passion for birds of prey. It's had | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
a big impact on my own life as well as my school life. Any chance of | :27:14. | :27:15. | |
seeing him fly? Yes. To celebrate the film and its legacy | :27:16. | :27:35. | |
we've brought together young people from Barnsley, as well as members of | :27:36. | :27:41. | |
the Kast for a special screening at the heritage centre will stop it | :27:42. | :27:46. | |
shows except Lee what it was like living in Yorkshire -- cast. I feel | :27:47. | :27:50. | |
privileged I was actually part of the film. Nobody knew it was going | :27:51. | :27:53. | |
to last so long and be so iconic. But what did our younger audience | :27:54. | :28:13. | |
think? Can they sympathise with Billy? I think a lot of us go | :28:14. | :28:18. | |
through that at some point in our lives. I didn't fit in at my old | :28:19. | :28:23. | |
school sometimes. Whilst he has a bird that makes him happy, it's | :28:24. | :28:28. | |
amazing and his world makes him happy, it's so inspiring. Although | :28:29. | :28:33. | |
Kes was made 45 years ago it still resonates with people young and | :28:34. | :28:37. | |
old, not just because it's a film classic. But for its message. That | :28:38. | :28:40. | |
we should see the potential in everyone. | :28:41. | :28:45. | |
I couldn't agree more. You have been sending us your pictures of your | :28:46. | :28:49. | |
inspirational pets. This is from Lisa. This is my son's first pony, | :28:50. | :28:55. | |
he tore him so much more than how to ride. This is my ferret who was | :28:56. | :29:01. | |
found in a drainpipe but she has given me lots of pleasure. We were | :29:02. | :29:06. | |
on the top of Snowdon last weekend. And this is Edna, the super cat | :29:07. | :29:09. | |
isn't she brilliant! | :29:10. | :29:11. |
