Hello, and welcome to The One Show
with Matt Baker... | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
..And Angela Scanlon. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
And tonight we're looking ahead to
a 'once-in-a-lifetime' lunar event. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:26 | |
The Super Blue Blood Moon... | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
Which will be lighting
up the sky tomorrow. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:34 | |
That isn't it! Just to say! But
hopefully it will look like that! | 0:00:34 | 0:00:39 | |
So what better guest to have | 0:00:39 | 0:00:40 | |
in the studio than a man who's spent | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
much of his career working
in a galaxy far, far, away? | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
Please welcome Warwick Davis! | 0:00:45 | 0:00:49 | |
Thank you very much! Thank you. That
was big, wasn't it? Absolutely | 0:00:49 | 0:00:57 | |
brilliant. | 0:00:57 | 0:00:58 | |
We have this. The Ewok! My first
Star Wars character. You at 11? Do | 0:00:58 | 0:01:07 | |
you remember much of that time?
Quite a bit, I talk about it a lot. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:12 | |
I didn't know at the time would be
talking about it my entire life and | 0:01:12 | 0:01:16 | |
career. What a delightful picture
there with Carrie Fisher. It brings | 0:01:16 | 0:01:20 | |
back fond memories of her. She was
really lovely. And how many Star | 0:01:20 | 0:01:24 | |
Wars films have you made now? About
five or six, now. My word, and it | 0:01:24 | 0:01:31 | |
has become a real thing. Here you
are with the whole family at the | 0:01:31 | 0:01:35 | |
premiere of The Last Jedi... That
was exciting, it was the Los Angeles | 0:01:35 | 0:01:41 | |
premiere at the Shrine. They had
built most of the set there. And | 0:01:41 | 0:01:46 | |
younger viewers may recognise your
daughter, Annabel, she is in The | 0:01:46 | 0:01:50 | |
Dumping Ground. She has done that
for three or four years now on CBBC. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:54 | |
I didn't think she would follow in
my footsteps as an actor, but she | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
got the part and has made it her own
and it's very popular. And she is | 0:01:58 | 0:02:03 | |
involved in the franchise? Yes, she
has been in two Star Wars movies | 0:02:03 | 0:02:07 | |
now. Sometimes she is a double for
me. When I can't be there or there | 0:02:07 | 0:02:12 | |
is another character. She can
replicate what I do exactly. It is | 0:02:12 | 0:02:17 | |
really quite handy. And there is
another Star Wars film coming out... | 0:02:17 | 0:02:22 | |
Saulo the Star | 0:02:22 | 0:02:28 | |
-- Saulo comes out in May. Can you
give anything away? It is set in | 0:02:28 | 0:02:33 | |
space and it is all about Hans Solo.
I hadn't worked with the director | 0:02:33 | 0:02:41 | |
since we did Willow in 1997. We have
been in touch but to hear him on set | 0:02:41 | 0:02:46 | |
saying "Action", we had a great
time! We will be talking about your | 0:02:46 | 0:02:54 | |
next project including how you used
the force to broken one of your | 0:02:54 | 0:02:59 | |
co-stars! Now we are talking about
Best before dates... A lot of people | 0:02:59 | 0:03:03 | |
love this topic! | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
I had a good sort | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
through my cupboards this morning... | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
Sun-dried tomatoes that three years
old, and two tins of pilchards, two | 0:03:11 | 0:03:16 | |
years old. These chocolate is went
out of date in 2014! How are they | 0:03:16 | 0:03:23 | |
still there!? These were opened in
2016... Fancy a nibble? Did you open | 0:03:23 | 0:03:29 | |
them in 2016? Shall I really try
one? Don't eat it! Don't! But it is | 0:03:29 | 0:03:37 | |
fine! It isn't bad. We all over
worry about these things. If it says | 0:03:37 | 0:03:42 | |
use by, worry, but sell by... He
looks a little sick, I am worried! | 0:03:42 | 0:03:53 | |
Well, with the East of England Co-Op
becoming the first supermarket | 0:03:53 | 0:03:55 | |
to start selling items
beyond their best before dates last | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
month, we wondered -
just how far can we push it? | 0:03:58 | 0:04:00 | |
He's coughing! | 0:04:00 | 0:04:04 | |
Matt's off to the lab... | 0:04:04 | 0:04:07 | |
Wash it down with | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
some green tea... Canned food, we
cannot get rid of it! The typical | 0:04:10 | 0:04:15 | |
household in the UK stocks at least
16 cans at any one time. Some of | 0:04:15 | 0:04:20 | |
them may even be past their best
before dates... But here is a | 0:04:20 | 0:04:25 | |
question. When would you, or should
you, give up on a can? You see this | 0:04:25 | 0:04:33 | |
ten of tapioca, right? On the bottom
it says January 2016... That is | 0:04:33 | 0:04:37 | |
awful, isn't it? Why? Because it is
out of date! Would you eat it? | 0:04:37 | 0:04:45 | |
Perhaps, because the ten is not
dented or anything... -- the tin. We | 0:04:45 | 0:04:52 | |
throw away more than 7 million
tonnes of food every year in the UK. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:58 | |
The East Anglia Co-op recently
became the first UK supermarket to | 0:04:58 | 0:05:01 | |
sell tinned foods and dried foods
after their best before dates. The | 0:05:01 | 0:05:08 | |
advice is to eat these foods soon as
soon as possible but, how long can | 0:05:08 | 0:05:12 | |
you leave it before food becomes
completely inedible? We asked you, | 0:05:12 | 0:05:17 | |
The One Show viewers at home, to
send us your out of date tins and | 0:05:17 | 0:05:23 | |
packets. Julie and John sent us
chunky chicken, best before 2013. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:29 | |
From Tom and Sinead, we have
pineapples from 2014 and soup best | 0:05:29 | 0:05:35 | |
before 2015. Helen from Cardiff gave
us lasagne sheets from 1996. We sent | 0:05:35 | 0:05:43 | |
them all off to a microbiologist at
Manchester University for testing | 0:05:43 | 0:05:47 | |
and we will have the results in a
moment... But if shops are prepared | 0:05:47 | 0:05:52 | |
to sell cans and packets, long past
their best before dates, then what's | 0:05:52 | 0:05:57 | |
the point in putting a date on it in
the first place? I met a factory | 0:05:57 | 0:06:00 | |
where they put one of our favourite
canned foods into the tin... Baked | 0:06:00 | 0:06:05 | |
beans! The Heinz factory in Wigan is
the biggest food producing plant in | 0:06:05 | 0:06:13 | |
Europe. 3500 cans are made here
every minute, but just how do they | 0:06:13 | 0:06:20 | |
keep the food fresh inside for so
long? If I leave things in a sealed | 0:06:20 | 0:06:26 | |
container, they will go off
eventually. Why is a can different? | 0:06:26 | 0:06:31 | |
We put it through a process, you
cook the product inside of the can. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:35 | |
We don't add colours or
preservatives to our products. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:39 | |
Cooking the product inside of the
camp kills any bacteria within it. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:43 | |
The airtight seal keeps bacteria
out. Why bother putting a | 0:06:43 | 0:06:56 | |
out. Why bother putting a date on
top? We need to guarantee our | 0:06:56 | 0:06:58 | |
customers, whenever they open a can
of soup or beans, that it is fresh | 0:06:58 | 0:07:01 | |
and looks and tastes superb, like it
was made the day before. How do you | 0:07:01 | 0:07:04 | |
establish exactly what date is the
right date, the safe date? A product | 0:07:04 | 0:07:06 | |
will be held for an extensive period
of time, opened and sampled. We will | 0:07:06 | 0:07:11 | |
monitor the condition of the
product, making sure that it has a | 0:07:11 | 0:07:14 | |
good texture and a good colour, and
if it is good, we give it a shelf | 0:07:14 | 0:07:18 | |
life. That will be so many months.
Months? The products we sent to the | 0:07:18 | 0:07:26 | |
lab are years old. Time for the
results... Let's start with the | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
tomato soup, dating back to March 20
15. There was no bacteria in it, | 0:07:29 | 0:07:38 | |
nothing. Pineapple slices, 2014,
June. Nothing in it. Bike nothing | 0:07:38 | 0:07:43 | |
wrong with Tom and Sinead's tins,
and Julie and John's chicken from | 0:07:43 | 0:07:50 | |
2013. Even Helen's 12 years old peas
were fresh. But there were some | 0:07:50 | 0:07:59 | |
products not at its best quality.
The oxtail soup had a thick skin at | 0:07:59 | 0:08:02 | |
the top which we had to cut through
with a scalpel but there was no | 0:08:02 | 0:08:07 | |
bacteria in any of the products.
What about the dried food? Helen's | 0:08:07 | 0:08:12 | |
chickpeas expired 15 years ago. We
found three different kinds of | 0:08:12 | 0:08:17 | |
bacteria, but they were not
particularly nasty. We went expected | 0:08:17 | 0:08:20 | |
to make you sick. And these go back
to 1996... Actually older than my | 0:08:20 | 0:08:27 | |
children. This one did have a
potential nasty. It had a bacteria | 0:08:27 | 0:08:34 | |
associated in a handful of cases as
causing foodborne illness. So, tins | 0:08:34 | 0:08:42 | |
win, and that's good because tonight
I'm having last year's new potatoes, | 0:08:42 | 0:08:46 | |
hotdogs from when Ed Sheeran was
skill at -- still at school, and | 0:08:46 | 0:08:52 | |
tapioca. It might not kill you, but
you might not enjoy it! | 0:08:52 | 0:08:57 | |
STUDIO: What do you think of Matt's
and that's now? | 0:08:57 | 0:09:04 | |
It might not kill you but I still
have the residue, they were a very | 0:09:04 | 0:09:07 | |
unusual texture! Remember that a
small dent is fine but if it is | 0:09:07 | 0:09:14 | |
heavily dented, bulging, or if there
is any evidence that the tin is | 0:09:14 | 0:09:20 | |
punctured... The advice is not to
eat it! If you think you can top up | 0:09:20 | 0:09:25 | |
we have seen tonight so far, we
would love to hear from you. We are | 0:09:25 | 0:09:30 | |
looking for the oldest best before
dates that you can muster tonight. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:34 | |
Have a root around the back of your
cabinets and take a photo of | 0:09:34 | 0:09:37 | |
yourself with the items and best
before dates, send them in. You have | 0:09:37 | 0:09:41 | |
to beat this pastor from 1996. That
is | 0:09:41 | 0:09:49 | |
is 12-year-old pasta that is pretty
gross! | 0:09:49 | 0:09:54 | |
You've been working on something
that dates back to the 80s, Warwick. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:56 | |
Your new musical 'Eugenius'
is a celebration of the decade - | 0:09:56 | 0:09:59 | |
and it has some really catchy tunes
- let's take a look... | 0:09:59 | 0:10:02 | |
We are all very excited.
# Listen to the crowd | 0:10:02 | 0:10:08 | |
# I hear them say
# You are Eugenius | 0:10:08 | 0:10:18 | |
# If there is a spark that can't be
fired, don't shoot for the stars | 0:10:18 | 0:10:25 | |
# Anything can happen that way
# You are Eugenius! # | 0:10:25 | 0:10:35 | |
APPLAUSE
We have created three comic book | 0:10:39 | 0:10:42 | |
scenes to help you to set the
scene... | 0:10:42 | 0:10:45 | |
Eugenius tells a story about Eugene,
a young lad in America, who creates | 0:10:45 | 0:10:49 | |
a comic book around a character
called Tough Man and he wins a | 0:10:49 | 0:10:54 | |
competition at school to take the
idea to Hollywood and make a movie | 0:10:54 | 0:10:58 | |
out of the idea... Unbeknown to him,
the dreams he has about Tough Man | 0:10:58 | 0:11:03 | |
are actually occurring elsewhere in
the universe. These are real events | 0:11:03 | 0:11:07 | |
happening and so at the end of the
show, the two worlds collide to | 0:11:07 | 0:11:11 | |
dramatic and comic affect! The
interesting thing about this is that | 0:11:11 | 0:11:17 | |
you are not here to talk about it
from an actor's perspective but you | 0:11:17 | 0:11:21 | |
are producing the musical? Yes, it
is a very different role. Chris | 0:11:21 | 0:11:26 | |
Wilkins and Ben Adams who wrote
Eugenius, they originally approached | 0:11:26 | 0:11:29 | |
me to record one of the songs, they
wanted me to play the character of | 0:11:29 | 0:11:34 | |
Evil Lord Hector, I did that and we
did a concert performance at the | 0:11:34 | 0:11:40 | |
London Palladium last year and we
sold it out. Then it came to the run | 0:11:40 | 0:11:49 | |
at The Other Palace, and I said I
wanted to concentrate on producing, | 0:11:49 | 0:11:52 | |
it is a different discipline. How do
you describe the role as a theatre | 0:11:52 | 0:11:58 | |
producer? It is to do with finances.
I'm not very good at that, I just | 0:11:58 | 0:12:02 | |
want to spend money to make the show
better! As a producer, you shouldn't | 0:12:02 | 0:12:07 | |
be spending money. I'm no good at
that part of it, I'm good at the | 0:12:07 | 0:12:11 | |
creative part. The marketing... And
you have a very | 0:12:11 | 0:12:19 | |
creative view over the entire show.
The work with the director, of | 0:12:25 | 0:12:27 | |
course. My kind of suggestions go a
long way into making the show what | 0:12:27 | 0:12:30 | |
it is. I wanted to be the best it
can be for the audience. I | 0:12:30 | 0:12:33 | |
understand, as a performer, what
makes good entertainment so I'm | 0:12:33 | 0:12:35 | |
using that as a producer as well.
And you have used your influence to | 0:12:35 | 0:12:38 | |
rope in Luke skywalker! Yes, Mark
Hamill provides the voice of Kevin | 0:12:38 | 0:12:42 | |
the Robot. He has won BAFTAs for his
work as the Joker in the animated | 0:12:42 | 0:12:50 | |
series of Batman. I asked him if he
would do this for us, and I've done | 0:12:50 | 0:12:54 | |
so for quite a while. He has been
promoting The Last Jedi for a while | 0:12:54 | 0:12:58 | |
but last week he said he loved the
idea. He recorded it. It is | 0:12:58 | 0:13:03 | |
fantastic. A great addition to an
already great show. The cherry on | 0:13:03 | 0:13:07 | |
the cake for us. So he is the voice
of...? Kevin the Robot, he is great | 0:13:07 | 0:13:14 | |
with his voice. He brings such life
to this fairly inanimate object. And | 0:13:14 | 0:13:21 | |
the characters must be over the
moon? Yes, there are 18 terrific | 0:13:21 | 0:13:25 | |
songs in the show and it is a funny
script. They loved doing it and when | 0:13:25 | 0:13:29 | |
they heard that Mark was involved,
it sent them into the stratosphere. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:33 | |
I do sit in the audience and I'm
envious that I am not up there. It | 0:13:33 | 0:13:38 | |
looks so much fun to be part of. And
in that genre, your CV is bulging | 0:13:38 | 0:13:43 | |
with sci-fi classics! I was a child
of the 1980s, I had my teenage years | 0:13:43 | 0:13:49 | |
and made some movies in the 1980s,
in Eugenius we make reference to all | 0:13:49 | 0:13:55 | |
of that stuff. The movies, the pop
culture, celebrities of the decade | 0:13:55 | 0:14:00 | |
and the music, Ben Adams had a great
palette to draw from. The sound of | 0:14:00 | 0:14:05 | |
the 1980s is big! We have a key tar
in the show! And big drums and | 0:14:05 | 0:14:12 | |
sounds, it is feel-good music. Your
house must be like a sci-fi museum! | 0:14:12 | 0:14:19 | |
There are some things lurking around
from when I was in Star Wars! I do | 0:14:19 | 0:14:24 | |
not adorn the walls with me! Just
the kids! Move their pictures and | 0:14:24 | 0:14:30 | |
put up pictures of me instead! But
if work ever dries up, you can flog | 0:14:30 | 0:14:36 | |
that stuff for a fortune! I do have
my wand from Willow and from Star | 0:14:36 | 0:14:44 | |
Wars I have the bones that I caught
around my neck. I still have those. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:49 | |
Good to know! We have a fascinating
story for you now. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:55 | |
The tale of a maverick | 0:14:55 | 0:14:57 | |
surgeon who saved the lives
of hundreds of Second World War | 0:14:57 | 0:14:59 | |
servicemen with his pioneering
plastic surgery techniques. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:01 | |
And it's a legacy that lives on. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:03 | |
Many of Sir Archibald McIndoe's
treatments are still being used | 0:15:03 | 0:15:05 | |
today, which is a source of great
pride for his daughter Adonia. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:13 | |
My father transform the lives of
aircrew who suffered the most | 0:15:18 | 0:15:22 | |
horrific bone injuries during World
War II. They formed a group called | 0:15:22 | 0:15:26 | |
the Guinea Pig Club, because that is
what they were. My father was Sir | 0:15:26 | 0:15:32 | |
Archibald McIndoe. He was a
pioneering plastic surgeon. He was a | 0:15:32 | 0:15:36 | |
very good father. He made me laugh a
lot. He never lost his temper with | 0:15:36 | 0:15:44 | |
me. He got cross with inanimate
things or inanimate people. He loved | 0:15:44 | 0:15:51 | |
the boys he treated and I think that
was partly because he wanted a son. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:57 | |
This is the hospital where my father
operated on his injured airman. And | 0:15:57 | 0:16:02 | |
that over there is Ward number
three, where they would recover | 0:16:02 | 0:16:07 | |
after their operations. Burns were
not known about at all, really. It | 0:16:07 | 0:16:16 | |
was very primitive. The traditional
way of dealing with Burns was to put | 0:16:16 | 0:16:20 | |
the substance on the face of those
who had had | 0:16:20 | 0:16:27 | |
who had had burns, solution. He
immediately saw it wasn't the way to | 0:16:28 | 0:16:32 | |
deal with it because although it may
preserve the skin, when you took it | 0:16:32 | 0:16:38 | |
off, it pulled everything off with
it. My father noticed the men who | 0:16:38 | 0:16:42 | |
fell in the sea were better off. So
he initiated say linebackers. I | 0:16:42 | 0:16:49 | |
think you're protected the skin. He
needed to fight and give papers on | 0:16:49 | 0:16:55 | |
it. He initiated a new way of
dealing with it. A number of them, | 0:16:55 | 0:16:59 | |
the scarring contracted the hands
and a number of guinea pigs will say | 0:16:59 | 0:17:05 | |
how he saved their hands. As long as
you had grip, you could hold a | 0:17:05 | 0:17:11 | |
cigarette, or what ever. I am 94 and
I am one of the last remaining | 0:17:11 | 0:17:21 | |
guinea pigs. I was on a raid to
Stuttgart and we were blown up with | 0:17:21 | 0:17:29 | |
heavy flak. My hands were touching
the frame. It was minus 45 degrees. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:37 | |
They just were frostbitten. When Sir
Archibald McIndoe soul mate, chopped | 0:17:37 | 0:17:44 | |
all the | 0:17:44 | 0:17:50 | |
all the fingers of, and put them in
the palms of my hands. He did a good | 0:17:50 | 0:17:57 | |
job, I was able to work again. I
know everything to the hospital and | 0:17:57 | 0:18:03 | |
Sir Archibald McIndoe. He believed
in medicine and he believed in his | 0:18:03 | 0:18:10 | |
boys. He was determined they would
lead a proper life. To be accepted | 0:18:10 | 0:18:17 | |
by other people. My father had a
word with the ladies of East | 0:18:17 | 0:18:23 | |
Grinstead, that they ought to be
more welcoming and not to stare at | 0:18:23 | 0:18:29 | |
his boys to invite them into their
homes and from then on, he had no | 0:18:29 | 0:18:33 | |
difficulty whatsoever with the
ladies of the town. These were men | 0:18:33 | 0:18:40 | |
who had 14 U. He wasn't going to put
up with them coming into hospital | 0:18:40 | 0:18:48 | |
and being treated as second-class
citizens. This enormous, Rhodri | 0:18:48 | 0:18:53 | |
developed. There was a piano in
there? There was a piano and a | 0:18:53 | 0:18:59 | |
couple of kegs of beer. He was very
cheerful on the wards. Every | 0:18:59 | 0:19:04 | |
Christmas he had a guinea pig
weekend where they all came back for | 0:19:04 | 0:19:08 | |
checkups and then they had a big
party in the evening. They came back | 0:19:08 | 0:19:15 | |
thoroughly drunk, of course, and
they went on drinking. The men | 0:19:15 | 0:19:18 | |
called him maestro, they even called
him God. I felt he didn't belong to | 0:19:18 | 0:19:26 | |
me, he belonged to the world. I am
very proud of him. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:30 | |
JJ Chalmers is with us. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:34 | |
JJ, we saw last week
in images that got a big | 0:19:34 | 0:19:37 | |
reaction from our viewers,
how a career in the forces can, | 0:19:37 | 0:19:40 | |
in your words, "shape you forever". | 0:19:40 | 0:19:44 | |
Remind us what happened
to you and the injuries you had? | 0:19:44 | 0:19:50 | |
I was injured in Afghanistan in 2011
by a bomb blast. I was torn to | 0:19:50 | 0:19:57 | |
pieces, my face was crushed, my arms
were trashed and I was rebuilt. | 0:19:57 | 0:20:04 | |
Using some of the techniques we just
saw? These techniques from 70 years | 0:20:04 | 0:20:09 | |
ago, just like in the film, my hands
didn't look like the seven years | 0:20:09 | 0:20:14 | |
ago, completely rebuild. I had my
arm transferred into my stomach at | 0:20:14 | 0:20:18 | |
one stage. But now, but is the
thing, it improves technology and | 0:20:18 | 0:20:27 | |
health care is one of the things
benefiting. Is it like a skin draft? | 0:20:27 | 0:20:35 | |
-- graph. It is living and breathing
tissue, and they move skin from one | 0:20:35 | 0:20:44 | |
area to another. What support
network did you get afterwards, | 0:20:44 | 0:20:49 | |
because they were referring to the
Guinea Pig Club. When you look | 0:20:49 | 0:20:57 | |
around the individuals there, you
are surrounded by guys who shouldn't | 0:20:57 | 0:21:02 | |
be alive, but are absolute legends.
We have formed a club, which is a | 0:21:02 | 0:21:08 | |
social club, hopefully it will keep
us together the 70 years like them | 0:21:08 | 0:21:12 | |
and we can keep an eye on one
another as well. It is in our | 0:21:12 | 0:21:16 | |
opinion, veterans should be looking
out for the veterans. Just because I | 0:21:16 | 0:21:21 | |
don't wear a uniform any more
doesn't mean I shouldn't look out | 0:21:21 | 0:21:24 | |
for my brothers. The physical stuff
should be looked after but it is the | 0:21:24 | 0:21:30 | |
come around very as well? Yes, we
fixed, but there is no textbook. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:36 | |
Once we finish, there will be won.
It is nice to know the silver lining | 0:21:36 | 0:21:41 | |
we have found ourselves in, we have
made the journey easier for those | 0:21:41 | 0:21:45 | |
who might come after us. Thank you
for coming in. | 0:21:45 | 0:22:01 | |
The full moon appears in our night
sky every 29 and a half days. That | 0:22:12 | 0:22:18 | |
is how long it takes to travel
around the planet. Sometimes when | 0:22:18 | 0:22:23 | |
you look up, you see something quite
extraordinary, a full moon that | 0:22:23 | 0:22:27 | |
looks bigger and shines brighter. It
is a super moon. And in just 12 | 0:22:27 | 0:22:37 | |
weeks, a dozen super moons have lit
up our night sky, turning us all | 0:22:37 | 0:22:42 | |
into lunar gazers. It is the 3rd of
December, 2017 and the first of our | 0:22:42 | 0:22:52 | |
current of trio of super moons is
due to make an appearance in the | 0:22:52 | 0:22:58 | |
night sky. One of the best places in
the world were a good view of it is | 0:22:58 | 0:23:02 | |
virtually guaranteed is here, in the
Canary Islands. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:10 | |
Canary Islands. Add 2500 metres, the
peak is usually above the clouds, | 0:23:11 | 0:23:14 | |
which makes it a perfect spot for
astronomers. It is where this | 0:23:14 | 0:23:19 | |
mountain biker is headed. It is a
tough ride to the top. At 6:30 a:m., | 0:23:19 | 0:23:29 | |
the curtain goes up. But he makes it
just in time. | 0:23:29 | 0:23:37 | |
When I see the moon rising over the
clouds, it is amazing, the feeling. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:49 | |
I never saw a move like this, it was
so intense like fire. As the super | 0:23:49 | 0:23:57 | |
moon Lee is the clouds it is
revealed in all its glory. The | 0:23:57 | 0:24:02 | |
spectacle is enough to bring
astronomers out from their | 0:24:02 | 0:24:04 | |
observatories. There is something
about the moon. It inspired initial | 0:24:04 | 0:24:12 | |
astronomy, the initial curiosity to
study the universe. If you see a | 0:24:12 | 0:24:17 | |
super moon, take the opportunity to
go outside and check it out. It is | 0:24:17 | 0:24:21 | |
beautiful. The reason the super moon
looks bigger and brighter is because | 0:24:21 | 0:24:27 | |
it is closer to Earth than usual. At
its furthest, the moon is over | 0:24:27 | 0:24:33 | |
400,000 kilometres away. But a super
moon can be 50,000 kilometres nearer | 0:24:33 | 0:24:39 | |
and shine almost a third brighter. I
never had that feeling that the moon | 0:24:39 | 0:24:45 | |
could be so close to me. It was
amazing, because I never see | 0:24:45 | 0:24:48 | |
something like that in my life. I
will never forget that. | 0:24:48 | 0:24:55 | |
You can see more of that incredible
footage in "Wonders of the Moon" | 0:24:55 | 0:24:58 | |
tomorrow night at 9.00pm
here on BBC One. | 0:24:58 | 0:25:03 | |
Professor Lucie Green is with us. | 0:25:03 | 0:25:09 | |
People are baffled by space
generally, but explained the | 0:25:09 | 0:25:12 | |
significance of this Super Blue
Blood Moon. The name doesn't roll of | 0:25:12 | 0:25:18 | |
the tongue but it has three parts.
The super means it is close to the | 0:25:18 | 0:25:23 | |
earth at the moment. The blue part
refers to the fact we will have a | 0:25:23 | 0:25:28 | |
full moon tomorrow and not only is
it the first full moon of January, | 0:25:28 | 0:25:33 | |
it is the second. 29.5 days from one
to the next. Plenty of time in the | 0:25:33 | 0:25:39 | |
calendar month to have the second.
The blood part refers to the fact we | 0:25:39 | 0:25:44 | |
also have a lunar eclipse happening
at the same time. The moon is moving | 0:25:44 | 0:25:48 | |
through the shadow the Earth casts.
When you say we, can we see that? | 0:25:48 | 0:25:56 | |
Unfortunately not, the lunar eclipse
will be visible from Australia, | 0:25:56 | 0:26:00 | |
places like Hawaii. Maybe you have
time to get on a flight and get | 0:26:00 | 0:26:04 | |
over. You can still enjoy the full
moon so I would encourage people to | 0:26:04 | 0:26:08 | |
go out. Ours will look less orange
and a bit more like this? Standard | 0:26:08 | 0:26:18 | |
moon, a bit white, some halos coming
through it. Why have we had so many | 0:26:18 | 0:26:21 | |
super moons lately? They are coming
thick and fast, I think it is to do | 0:26:21 | 0:26:28 | |
with no definition of what a super
moon is. Once every orbit around the | 0:26:28 | 0:26:36 | |
outcome at the moon has a point
where it is closest to us because it | 0:26:36 | 0:26:40 | |
is not a perfectly circular orbit.
The full moon closest approach looks | 0:26:40 | 0:26:46 | |
bigger and brighter. It is a sign of
people celebrating astronomy and | 0:26:46 | 0:26:50 | |
getting excited. But they have
always been happening, it is nothing | 0:26:50 | 0:26:55 | |
new happening in the orbital,
celestial mechanics. We are just | 0:26:55 | 0:26:59 | |
more into it? Yes. How do we make
sure we don't miss it? The moon rise | 0:26:59 | 0:27:08 | |
will be about 5pm tomorrow so you
have all night to have a look. A | 0:27:08 | 0:27:13 | |
look when it is near the horizon. It
is bigger than, it is amplified? | 0:27:13 | 0:27:19 | |
There is the illusion, when you see
in next to the horizon, it looks | 0:27:19 | 0:27:23 | |
bigger. I like to see it next to the
horizon, framed against trees and | 0:27:23 | 0:27:28 | |
buildings. Or you can wait until it
is higher. I got a telescope a few | 0:27:28 | 0:27:34 | |
years ago, it is brilliant. Have you
got a telescope at home? No, I | 0:27:34 | 0:27:40 | |
haven't. I am fascinated by anything
in space and all that stuff. We all | 0:27:40 | 0:27:46 | |
know, if you don't have a picture,
it never happened. Any tips on how | 0:27:46 | 0:27:50 | |
to take an amazing picture? Contact
your local astronomical Society, | 0:27:50 | 0:27:57 | |
borrow a telescope, get advice and
get your camera ready. Thank you | 0:27:57 | 0:28:01 | |
very much. You have brought some
Carnation milk, what is the sell by | 0:28:01 | 0:28:06 | |
date? I went to my cupboard and I
was disappointed because it is only | 0:28:06 | 0:28:11 | |
used by February 2014. Someone from
Bracknell has found some jelly | 0:28:11 | 0:28:19 | |
babies from 2011. Father's Day gift
from his stepdaughter. Sarah found | 0:28:19 | 0:28:24 | |
these in her mum's cupboard from
1995, 23-year-old popping corn. | 0:28:24 | 0:28:30 | |
Nice. This Pot Noodle is dated from
April 2000 and four. I would still | 0:28:30 | 0:28:36 | |
give that a go. I think so. Look at
this, Helena found this rum | 0:28:36 | 0:28:42 | |
flavouring best before 1994, almost
24 years. And soon found some | 0:28:42 | 0:28:49 | |
mustard seeds that went out of date
22 years ago. Well done. | 0:28:49 | 0:28:55 | |
That's it for tonight, thanks
to Lucie and of course Warwick. | 0:28:55 | 0:28:57 | |
Eugenius is on at The Other Palace
theatre until the 3rd of March. | 0:28:57 | 0:29:05 | |
Than Hollywood and beyond. | 0:29:08 | 0:29:10 | |
Alex is back tomorrow
and Frank Skinner, Penny Smith | 0:29:10 | 0:29:13 | |
and wildlife cameraman
Gordon Buchanan will be here. | 0:29:13 | 0:29:14 | |
Plus music from Franz Ferdinand. | 0:29:14 | 0:29:17 | |
Have a great evening. | 0:29:17 | 0:29:23 |
