:00:16. > :00:19.Hello and welcome to The One Show, with Alex Jones.
:00:20. > :00:21.And for one night only, I'll be playing Judy,
:00:22. > :00:37.So if you are going to be Judy,, what are you cooking for dinner
:00:38. > :00:39.tonight? Maybe lasagne and salad. I bought it earlier at the shop.
:00:40. > :00:43.That's how it works in real life. Now, tonight's One Show
:00:44. > :00:45.is all about joining forces. Soon we'll meet the Manchester
:00:46. > :00:50.community that came together The Duke of Edinburgh's Award
:00:51. > :00:52.community have come together We've got quite a few of them
:00:53. > :00:56.in the studio tonight - And we'll see some good
:00:57. > :01:01.old-fashioned community activism in Glasgow, that saw
:01:02. > :01:03.locals join forces to Also coming together tonight -
:01:04. > :01:07.two comic actors whose characters have often been
:01:08. > :01:22.a class apart. Posh nosh. My uncle was a builder,
:01:23. > :01:27.not that he built houses like ours. He couldn't have, it was built in
:01:28. > :01:31.1685. Hello there, are you interested in the question of
:01:32. > :01:37.women's rights? I don't know, I'll have to ask my man! Am I interested
:01:38. > :01:41.in women's rights? No! STUDIO: Please welcome -
:01:42. > :01:44.Elaine C Smith and Arabella Weir. We're also joined by a singer who's
:01:45. > :02:10.only one letter away from presenting Hello, guys. We might get muddled
:02:11. > :02:11.up. We look very similar as well. Until I start singing, and then it's
:02:12. > :02:13.a no go. Arabella - just one
:02:14. > :02:14.question to start with. It was your catchprase
:02:15. > :02:17.on The Fast Show for many years but I really need to know -
:02:18. > :02:28.does my bum look big in this? Yes... No. Do people say that all
:02:29. > :02:36.the time? They either say funny thing that sound peculiar out of
:02:37. > :02:44.context, are you the bum girl? I sound like a working girl who does
:02:45. > :02:51.special things! Or they go, love, yes. And he means, might bum looks
:02:52. > :02:57.big in this. You need a catchphrase on The One Show. But it was my
:02:58. > :03:00.catchphrase on The Fast Show. It can be now.
:03:01. > :03:08.Brad Pitt has been out shopping in B Q this week.
:03:09. > :03:15.It was just down the road for my house in west London. He bought some
:03:16. > :03:22.drills. What does he want to do with them? Who knows. We are short on
:03:23. > :03:31.detail. What was the drills sized bit? It is just down the road. He's
:03:32. > :03:35.like everybody else, it's a holiday weekend, and you go to your local
:03:36. > :03:40.hardware store and wander around and buy things you don't want. But he
:03:41. > :03:43.must get people to come in and drill for him. Not today.
:03:44. > :03:46.Tonight, we want you to send in your stories, along with pictures
:03:47. > :03:49.ideally - which famous faces have you seen in places you would never
:03:50. > :03:57.Maybe you saw George Clooney in a charity shop.
:03:58. > :04:08.Send them, along with pictures ideally, to the usual addresses
:04:09. > :04:10.and we'll read some out during the show.
:04:11. > :04:13.Now, when strolling the streets of your local area, you may not have
:04:14. > :04:15.bumped into a celebrity, but you've probably come
:04:16. > :04:23.across a few lumps, bumps and potholes -
:04:24. > :04:25.Well, the locals of Levenshulme in Manchester, have come up
:04:26. > :04:28.Alex Riley has got this one in the can.
:04:29. > :04:35.When I heard I was making a film about graffiti I couldn't wait to
:04:36. > :04:42.get my 90s gear and come down to Manchester to hang out with my home
:04:43. > :04:47.girls. The women I've come to see have been making a name for
:04:48. > :04:52.themselves as Granny VT artists. They have taken their spray paint on
:04:53. > :04:57.the streets of Levenshulme to highlight potential hazards. --
:04:58. > :05:03.granny graffiti artist. Ladies, let's go and paint some walls. We're
:05:04. > :05:13.painting pavements. Pavement? Come on. This 74-year-old grandmother,
:05:14. > :05:19.Muriel Powell, is the leader of this posse known as the Inspire task
:05:20. > :05:23.force. They felt compelled to act in order to make South Manchester's
:05:24. > :05:27.streets safer for older people. The main thing that came up were trip
:05:28. > :05:31.hazards on the pavements and potholes on the roads. We decided
:05:32. > :05:37.that if we got some biodegradable paint, and we marked it, it would
:05:38. > :05:42.make them aware of the hazards. Broken and uneven pavements are no
:05:43. > :05:50.joke. Age UK say that across Britain more than 2300 older people trip and
:05:51. > :05:53.fall on them every day. Inspire veteran, this 63-year-old, has
:05:54. > :05:58.personal experience of coming a cropper. I tripped over this piece
:05:59. > :06:05.of tarmac sticking up and went ahead long. I was badly bruised on my legs
:06:06. > :06:10.and side. For anybody more frail, they can seriously break their legs
:06:11. > :06:15.or arm. It's not just pedestrians cruising for a bruising. 60-year-old
:06:16. > :06:19.Joanne is one of around 350,000 mobility scooter users in the UK,
:06:20. > :06:24.and she finds getting around is made much more difficult by the state of
:06:25. > :06:30.some curbs and pavements. Some of the side streets, the road surface
:06:31. > :06:35.is that uneven, it makes it more painful for me. To avoid it, I have
:06:36. > :06:40.to go further up the road to be able to get across, to come down. I have
:06:41. > :06:47.to find somewhere where it's even to get to the other side. Today the
:06:48. > :06:50.task force are focusing on one particularly notorious St. Among
:06:51. > :06:59.them, 56-year-old project worker Jean Bernard. This is right outside
:07:00. > :07:04.somebody's door. Some people might argue we are going over the top, but
:07:05. > :07:07.it's about building a relationship with the council to say, please do
:07:08. > :07:14.something about this thing we've highlighted. This retired NHS worker
:07:15. > :07:19.Janet is convinced the painting has prevented accidents. I've seen
:07:20. > :07:23.people walking along, and they have seen something highlighted and gone
:07:24. > :07:27.around it. It probably washes off in a couple of weeks. You can't keep
:07:28. > :07:32.going around and around going on top of all the hazards. What do you want
:07:33. > :07:35.to happen? In an ideal world we wanted to be fixed, but we both know
:07:36. > :07:40.there is only so much money available to do these things. If the
:07:41. > :07:49.worst ones could be done, that would be great. Between 2013 and 2015,
:07:50. > :07:53.Manchester City Council paid out over ?1.4 million in compensation
:07:54. > :07:58.related to trip accidents. So we are heading back to the community centre
:07:59. > :08:00.to meet a man from the council who has braced the spray-painting
:08:01. > :08:05.wholeheartedly. Health and well-being lead Paul Andrews. I
:08:06. > :08:09.first of all thank you for inviting me here. I'm really thrilled with
:08:10. > :08:13.what you are doing and I can only support and encourage more people to
:08:14. > :08:17.do the same. This actually gives us the opportunity to make sure we look
:08:18. > :08:21.after some of the more vulnerable people in the community. Paul is
:08:22. > :08:27.talking the talk, but has there been any action to allow older people to
:08:28. > :08:31.walk the walk in safety. Have the council repaired any pavements to
:08:32. > :08:37.your satisfaction? Not all of them, not yet, but we feel quite satisfied
:08:38. > :08:44.that we have achieved what we set out to do. So as I hip-hop out of
:08:45. > :08:49.town, it seems the Levenshulme graffiti grandmas will spray the
:08:50. > :08:55.streets as long as it takes to keep the town safe. STUDIO: The e-mails
:08:56. > :09:00.are flooding in. It was legal, the wall you graffitied. It's a
:09:01. > :09:06.well-known graffiti wall in Salford, it was legal, the owner came out to
:09:07. > :09:10.see us, and it's OK. They can stop complaining, you didn't break the
:09:11. > :09:14.law. Are the pensioners contravening any bylaws or criminal laws by
:09:15. > :09:19.spraying the pavement? The Green paint they use is totally
:09:20. > :09:23.biodegradable, so the rain and traffic will wear it away, so they
:09:24. > :09:27.find to do it, and they are providing an important public
:09:28. > :09:31.service. Two weeks ago, for the first time in my adult life I fell
:09:32. > :09:36.over. It was because of a slightly raised paving stone. I really hurt
:09:37. > :09:45.myself, ruse to my side and damaged my hip. -- bruised my side. I just
:09:46. > :09:51.want to see those bruises., on! They are a problem all over the country.
:09:52. > :09:58.What's being done, Alex? Apparently last year, 6.3 million motorists
:09:59. > :10:06.were the victim of pothole damage. Repairs to their cars apparently
:10:07. > :10:10.cost ?684 million to put right. In December 2014, the government
:10:11. > :10:18.announced it would set aside ?6 million for road maintenance. -- ?6
:10:19. > :10:24.billion between 2015 and 2021. Enough to fill 18 million potholes.
:10:25. > :10:29.You totalled your car didn't you? About four weeks ago I was driving
:10:30. > :10:34.home in Glasgow, and I would like those women to come to Glasgow.
:10:35. > :10:38.There were no signs on the road. It was torrential rain, and it had
:10:39. > :10:43.started to flood on a road that I go down regularly, under a railway
:10:44. > :10:47.bridge. Quite a main road, not a little side road. The water had
:10:48. > :10:52.filled the hole. I drove in, thinking, this will be all right. I
:10:53. > :10:57.went in, and it stopped in the middle, and the water was rising. I
:10:58. > :11:03.was crying, hysterical. I had to phone the fire engines. It was like
:11:04. > :11:08.in a reliant Robin. The damage was so bad the car was written off?
:11:09. > :11:12.Completely written off. And I have to say the insurance company were
:11:13. > :11:16.great. You don't usually hear that, but they were fantastic. No fighting
:11:17. > :11:21.or anything. Are you pleased it happen because you got a new car? I
:11:22. > :11:26.did get a new car. You work around a lot on the motorbikes in London. You
:11:27. > :11:32.hit a pothole on them and you feel it. I didn't get home until 3:30am,
:11:33. > :11:40.I opened my car, the watered flooded in. If I had been a much older woman
:11:41. > :11:45.than myself on my own, and I was able to phone my husband, he was
:11:46. > :11:49.able to get me out and push the car. We realised when the breakdown
:11:50. > :11:53.service came, they wouldn't come in the water to push the car because of
:11:54. > :12:01.health and safety, because it could be toxic. My husband had to go back
:12:02. > :12:05.in. Toxic puddle? Toxic water, its Glasgow, you don't know what's in
:12:06. > :12:09.there. It was terrifying. Other than going out with aerosol is to
:12:10. > :12:14.complain, what can people do? You can contact your local council, but
:12:15. > :12:18.there is a new website called fix my street allowing you to alert the
:12:19. > :12:23.council to the problem. There is a map on screen and you indicate
:12:24. > :12:29.wedded problem is with a virtual pin. -- where the problem is. It
:12:30. > :12:33.works out the local authority, you describe the incident, and it sends
:12:34. > :12:36.an automatic e-mail to the local authority requesting something is
:12:37. > :12:38.done about it. There is no guarantee? But it helps them go in
:12:39. > :12:41.the right direction. Now here on The One Show
:12:42. > :12:44.we like to send Esther out, And following the attacks in Paris
:12:45. > :12:51.and more recently Brussels, US Republican front
:12:52. > :12:52.runner Donald Trump have labelled Britain
:12:53. > :12:56.and Europe, "not safe" - telling visitng US citizens
:12:57. > :12:59.to avoid crowded places. So the question is -
:13:00. > :13:14.do you feel safe here? Do you think people feel safe? Going
:13:15. > :13:19.to London, going on the underground, and Paris, I would be worried. You
:13:20. > :13:23.have to keep travelling. I travel a lot with my work and I will keep
:13:24. > :13:31.travelling. Yes, I'm more aware of it, but I will not stop what I do.
:13:32. > :13:34.Do you feel unsafe? I do. I'm worried about bombings and not nice
:13:35. > :13:40.things happening. What about flying? I will not fly. I think you have to
:13:41. > :13:42.carry on as normal and everyone should be united together. There is
:13:43. > :13:49.a lot more security and police about. Are you more worried about
:13:50. > :13:53.coming to crowded places? Maybe in London I would be, but in places
:13:54. > :13:57.like Nottingham, I might not. I'm from Nottingham. We mustn't be
:13:58. > :14:04.scared, otherwise we give them right. You are completely right. We
:14:05. > :14:08.have to do trust the security systems and hope they do their best
:14:09. > :14:12.to keep us safe. It's different when it's just you or you and your
:14:13. > :14:16.partner. You take the risk, if you like. But when you have children you
:14:17. > :14:24.start to think differently about where you will go and what you will
:14:25. > :14:30.do. You are from Belgium... Has it changed your life? To be honest, it
:14:31. > :14:33.does hit home a little bit. I think, at least for now, it will have quite
:14:34. > :14:40.an impact on tourism and travelling in general. It's horrible, but you
:14:41. > :14:43.can't just stop living your life because of it. Maybe people are a
:14:44. > :14:46.bit too paranoid about it and it's a shame because it's like it's
:14:47. > :14:51.working. That's what they want, they want everyone to be scared. I was in
:14:52. > :14:55.Brussels about 18 months ago and we stayed right in the centre and
:14:56. > :15:00.didn't feel threatened at all. It's a horrible business. Would you go
:15:01. > :15:03.back there now? Yes, perhaps not straightaway, but we would go back
:15:04. > :15:07.to support them. You think we should go to Belgium more now to make it
:15:08. > :15:13.clear the terrorists are not winning? I think so. It was like
:15:14. > :15:14.Paris with the attacks there. There was so much solidarity afterwards it
:15:15. > :15:24.was really refreshing. Many people in the film mentioned
:15:25. > :15:28.they would not feel safe necessarily in London. We have all travelled
:15:29. > :15:33.into central London today, so does it cross your mind?
:15:34. > :15:43.It crosses your mind but you must live your life. It never crosses my
:15:44. > :15:48.mind. I don't think I do think about it. The great comfort is that
:15:49. > :15:51.statistically, the chances of being caught up in one of these things is
:15:52. > :15:59.vanishingly small, compared to the Blitz, it is tiny statistically
:16:00. > :16:04.speaking. As people said on the film, the people who are doing this
:16:05. > :16:10.are winning, but you do think about it, I came into Heathrow today, I
:16:11. > :16:15.flew from Glasgow where there was a terrorist incident. You wouldn't
:16:16. > :16:17.cancel a trip? Never. You go to carry on the best you can.
:16:18. > :16:20.Time now to chat to Elaine and Arabella about their new sitcom,
:16:21. > :16:22.it's hitting our sceens in just two days time -
:16:23. > :16:32.Heller, Beth. Hi, Christine, how are you doing? Shattered, I've been up
:16:33. > :16:40.all night with this bladder of mine. . Dear. It's like a field hospital
:16:41. > :16:44.in here, come in for a cup of tea? I just popped round to invite you to
:16:45. > :16:50.hours. I don't think so, I'm just not at my best just now. That's a
:16:51. > :17:01.shame. You know me, I'm a fighter but the business with the bladder
:17:02. > :17:04.has got to me. You once said something wise about sitcoms, they
:17:05. > :17:07.only work if there is assemble idea at the core, that is the beating
:17:08. > :17:16.heart of the sitcom, what is the concept of this one? You go. Thanks!
:17:17. > :17:22.Then I will explain what you are saying. It is a street that anybody,
:17:23. > :17:24.never mind in Britain, anybody in the Western world would recognise,
:17:25. > :17:28.neighbours that are too close, close enough to be good friends but
:17:29. > :17:32.sometimes too close, in and out of everybody's houses. You don't have
:17:33. > :17:35.to be blood relations but we are a family because we all live in the
:17:36. > :17:40.same street and have had shared experiences. I've known the person
:17:41. > :17:46.playing her daughters since she was born. You have to rub along with
:17:47. > :17:51.each other. You have to get along, you have to revert to the norm at
:17:52. > :17:55.the end. You cannot say I will never talk to you again. Some neighbours
:17:56. > :18:01.do end up doing that. The golden rule is to get on with your
:18:02. > :18:04.neighbours. So much easier. I was going to say about the idea Rachel
:18:05. > :18:09.said about the sitcom, the ones that I love are the ones like everybody
:18:10. > :18:16.loves Raymond, it's about the missing sock. It is about a tiny
:18:17. > :18:21.thing. Each episode of this, there is a reason we end up at age other's
:18:22. > :18:27.houses. It's that simple idea. Whether you want your neighbour to
:18:28. > :18:35.be there or not works really well. The freezer defrosting in this case.
:18:36. > :18:40.I spent a week on a boat with Doon Mackichan, and for an entire week
:18:41. > :18:46.she spoke with a Glaswegian accent. She cannot drop it? She can't, she
:18:47. > :18:51.said she never comes out of character, are you the same? Do you
:18:52. > :18:54.remain in character? I'm not Glaswegian, I'm from the Home
:18:55. > :19:04.Counties, but I just speak in a Glasgow accent. I believed you then!
:19:05. > :19:08.It's not true! Whereas I am from Scotland but don't speak with a
:19:09. > :19:14.Scottish accent. Doon Mackichan is the one who does it all the way
:19:15. > :19:19.through. Some people have an ear. Judy had an agent aunt who I met
:19:20. > :19:24.once, all of that part of the family spoke with a broad Manchester
:19:25. > :19:29.accident, and I said I didn't know you aren't was in Scotland. She said
:19:30. > :19:33.she went there in 1938 for a week and came back and spoke their that
:19:34. > :19:40.way ever since. An accident can control you. You have a bit of a
:19:41. > :19:43.Scottish accent. I am Scottish. My parents are Scottish, I wasn't born
:19:44. > :19:50.there but that was my cultural upbringing. Alex isn't really Welsh.
:19:51. > :19:54.Neither is Aled! Doon Mackichan went to high school there, although her
:19:55. > :19:58.parents, her dad was Scots and everything, and then she was taken
:19:59. > :20:01.to Fife, not Glaswegian, a very different accent. We had a screening
:20:02. > :20:09.the other night and the amount of Scots said they didn't know that
:20:10. > :20:18.both Arabella and her. Aled, Too Much TV, we have to say. What would
:20:19. > :20:23.you say about it? I saw it this afternoon, I really loved it. I
:20:24. > :20:27.would tell you if I didn't like it, I didn't like your character much
:20:28. > :20:30.but you were great! I really loved it, it is quite simple. It draws you
:20:31. > :20:35.in and the characters are believable. It could be anywhere.
:20:36. > :20:39.There is one about a transit van backfiring and sprouts which you
:20:40. > :20:43.should listen out for. That's one of my favourite lines. It has been
:20:44. > :20:47.recommissioned already, another series is in the pipeline. I don't
:20:48. > :20:55.know if you can say that but you have said it. It is out there now!
:20:56. > :20:59.Great writing. Not afraid as writers to let women be funny. Which is
:21:00. > :21:06.unusual. Without men being in the scene. There are men in its too. It
:21:07. > :21:12.passed the test, a feminist test set at universities, find a film or a TV
:21:13. > :21:16.show in which there are two macro women talking, not about a man and
:21:17. > :21:18.not about anything to do with men. They have to be talking about a job.
:21:19. > :21:26.This passes with flying colours. Elaine and Arabella's comedy sitcom
:21:27. > :21:29.Two Doors Down begins Friday 1st And on the subject of comedy
:21:30. > :21:33.sitcoms, we all love them, so we might have a bit
:21:34. > :21:36.of a British Comedy sitcom quiz later, with a Mastermind theme -
:21:37. > :21:38.Elaine and Arabella - you've both done
:21:39. > :21:43.Mastermind for real? I did very well! You did very well.
:21:44. > :21:48.I didn't do quite so well. We will run the clip later. We will show

:21:51. > :21:53.Something a lot tougher than a TV quiz, is The Duke of Edinburgh's
:21:54. > :21:56.Millions have completed their Bronze, Silver and Gold Award,
:21:57. > :21:58.and 60 years on there's now the opportunity to take
:21:59. > :22:04.We have the lovely pin. Can I have that anyway?
:22:05. > :22:06.LAUGHTER Gyles went to meet some of the Duke
:22:07. > :22:20.of Edinburgh's finest to take them In 1958 band of city boys from
:22:21. > :22:24.Birmingham became pioneers on an epic outdoor adventure. 4-for days
:22:25. > :22:29.and three nights these fearless fellows had to fend for themselves
:22:30. > :22:31.in the Welsh wilderness. But this was no modern-day survival challenge
:22:32. > :22:43.with pop-up tents and lightweight waterproofs. Although now in their
:22:44. > :22:50.70s either Plaid, Tony Mullins, Ivan Greg and Alan Hobson, the trip still
:22:51. > :22:56.seems like yesterday. 60 years ago, you were going for gold. What is the
:22:57. > :22:59.challenging sadly involve? It was about 62 miles because we didn't
:23:00. > :23:04.have very good map reading, to say the least, and that's the polite
:23:05. > :23:10.version. You got hopelessly lost, did you? Absolutely. Founding in
:23:11. > :23:13.1956 the Duke of Edinburgh's Award was set up to inspire, guide and
:23:14. > :23:17.support young people, the mission that still stands to today.
:23:18. > :23:21.Initially just for boys, the scheme consisted of graded awards with gold
:23:22. > :23:27.being the most difficult, taking up to 18 months to complete. We were
:23:28. > :23:31.part of a group in the city of Birmingham, all working-class lads.
:23:32. > :23:35.All of our dads worked in factories or the equivalent. Were your parents
:23:36. > :23:40.anxious about you going off into the wilds of Wales on your own? I think
:23:41. > :23:43.they were anxious about what we were doing, there was no health and say
:23:44. > :23:51.those days. You brought some of the kits that you had, you've kept them
:23:52. > :23:54.all these years, it's amazing. This is 60 years old, biscuit. It is,
:23:55. > :23:58.that is why it is harder than it used to be. This is the sleeping
:23:59. > :24:08.bag. It is quite capacious, isn't it? Yes. Do you remember the food?
:24:09. > :24:12.It was in tubes mostly. Tubes? Condensed milk. A tube of bright
:24:13. > :24:16.yellow condensed milk. If they were lucky there was a friendly farmer to
:24:17. > :24:20.boost their meagre supplies. He said, do you want some milk? Yes,
:24:21. > :24:28.please. Whereupon, he gets the cup, goes to the cow, and there it was.
:24:29. > :24:32.We had never seen anything like it. We didn't quite know whether we
:24:33. > :24:35.ought to drink it or not! It wasn't just self-preservation skills these
:24:36. > :24:40.Brummie lads got out of their expedition. All candidates who
:24:41. > :24:42.achieved the Gold award were invited to achieve it personally from His
:24:43. > :24:46.Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh. To date the dude has
:24:47. > :24:52.hosted more than 500 Gold award ceremonies. The St John's ambulance
:24:53. > :24:57.cadets were among the first to visit Buckingham Palace. Were you nervous?
:24:58. > :25:07.I think we were. Meeting royalty, once we? Not just like a man in the
:25:08. > :25:10.street. It was an honour, obviously achieving the award, and to go to
:25:11. > :25:14.Buckingham Palace, it is something which will stay with us for the rest
:25:15. > :25:18.of our lives. As teenagers these chaps earned their Gold awards
:25:19. > :25:23.through teamwork and tenacity. Have they got the same pluck today? To
:25:24. > :25:26.find out, we are putting them through their paces once again. To
:25:27. > :25:31.commemorate the Duke of Edinburgh Award's 60th year, anyone of any age
:25:32. > :25:36.can sign up to complete a challenge and receive the 60th anniversary
:25:37. > :25:43.diamond pin. At the combine Dave Schultz 302 they are going
:25:44. > :25:48.abseiling, rather than than me! -- the combined age of 302. Ready?
:25:49. > :25:58.You've done the hard part, it's all downhill from here. Bye! Two down
:25:59. > :26:03.and two to go. CHUCKLES
:26:04. > :26:09.With the abseiling complete, I've arranged another surprise for our
:26:10. > :26:13.chaps, a rather special award. Well done, gentlemen, quite an
:26:14. > :26:17.achievement that. Today, unbeknownst to you, you were taking part in a
:26:18. > :26:25.Diamond Challenge. And those who take part in it and succeed like you
:26:26. > :26:29.get the Diamond award. That is yours, and there is yours. Receiving
:26:30. > :26:35.the diamond pin is a fitting tribute to what the two Alans, Tony and
:26:36. > :26:39.either have got out of the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme over the
:26:40. > :26:46.years come from lifelong friendships to shaping who they are today.
:26:47. > :26:53.APPLAUSE Thank you to Gyles and the two
:26:54. > :26:57.Alans, either and Tony join us now and also we have some other Duke of
:26:58. > :27:04.Edinburgh Award legends, Sheila, Kari and Tori. Here we are in the
:27:05. > :27:05.beautiful camp. Tony - you've got DofE
:27:06. > :27:12.in your DNA haven't you? It is root and branch in your
:27:13. > :27:17.family. It is indeed. It's the 60th anniversary of the award this year
:27:18. > :27:21.and also my 60th year of voluntary service for the award. And in that
:27:22. > :27:26.time I met my darling wife, Valerie, who is Alan's sister. Because of the
:27:27. > :27:30.award? Because of the award, yes. When I say that to the duke, I said
:27:31. > :27:35.he has a lot to answer for and he looks at Valerie and said it is
:27:36. > :27:41.worth it. Three lovely daughters as well. Yes, my daughter has the gold
:27:42. > :27:48.and my grandson has the gold which makes as the first three generations
:27:49. > :27:51.to get the award. Congratulations. Alan, we heard in the film that you
:27:52. > :27:56.still have your 60-year-old sleeping bag. You've brought some other
:27:57. > :28:02.equipment for us to have a look at today. It's very different to the
:28:03. > :28:06.equipment you can buy today, for the youngsters. This was much harder
:28:07. > :28:11.work, but it's the stove that we filled with paraffin and that then
:28:12. > :28:19.we had to pump it up to get pressure, but you had to light it
:28:20. > :28:25.with methylated spirit first. It really stank. Yes, we used to
:28:26. > :28:29.methylated spirit. I used to use it in the Scouts. We have heard from
:28:30. > :28:35.the guys. Let's crossover to the girls. How different is it now to
:28:36. > :28:40.get the awards than it was back in the day for winning? For a young
:28:41. > :28:44.person looking at my record but now, if they saw what we had to do they
:28:45. > :28:49.wouldn't recognise the award. We didn't do physical like the boys do,
:28:50. > :28:55.we had to do the alternative called design for living. If I look at my
:28:56. > :28:58.design for living in my book it is assessors report on personal hygiene
:28:59. > :29:06.and good manners. Personal hygiene and manners! Just for the men? We
:29:07. > :29:11.didn't have to do that. And an extra course on modern home nursing. Did
:29:12. > :29:16.you have to do knitting? Actually I did do knitting but that was a
:29:17. > :29:20.choice! Back then, we didn't have the word sexist in the language
:29:21. > :29:24.really, in common language, but did you realise back then that this was
:29:25. > :29:31.not fair? Absolutely. We realised the Boite's programme was much more
:29:32. > :29:37.interesting but it was pre-feminist days -- the boys programme. It
:29:38. > :29:41.didn't occur to me that we could even complain. How things have
:29:42. > :29:45.changed, for the better! It went on like that until the 1980s.
:29:46. > :29:48.Absolutely. You were one of the first women to get the gold-medal
:29:49. > :29:53.and now going for the diamond as the boys have already had. What are you
:29:54. > :29:56.planning to do for the challenge? The Diamond award is open to
:29:57. > :30:00.anybody, you don't have to have done your Gold award to get it. I've
:30:01. > :30:08.decided I'm going to swim the length of Windermere in July. What? Gosh.
:30:09. > :30:12.What is that about ten miles? The way I've measured it is 11 and a
:30:13. > :30:16.half will stop I'm sticking to that. I used to work in the Lake District
:30:17. > :30:21.and those lakes are freezing. They are very cold. What will you do? I'm
:30:22. > :30:26.reserving the right to wear a wet suit but I'm hoping to do it in
:30:27. > :30:30.skins, as we call it. What is that? Just a bathing costume and swimming
:30:31. > :30:34.hat and I will have a little boat beside me to feed me hot drinks
:30:35. > :30:40.while I go. Well, good luck and we will think of you. Keep warm!
:30:41. > :30:44.Tori, you are a poster girl from the Duke of Edinburgh Awards, you've
:30:45. > :30:47.done phenomenally and we are proud of you in Wales because you were the
:30:48. > :30:50.first girl from Wales to climb Everest and get to the summit,
:30:51. > :30:55.phenomenal achievement. APPLAUSE
:30:56. > :31:00.The youngest British woman as well. At the time I was the best British
:31:01. > :31:04.female in 2007, that's right. I wouldn't have got there if I hadn't
:31:05. > :31:08.done that be of Eden, that is what introduced me to climbing and
:31:09. > :31:16.camping and living outdoors -- DeOssie. There was a huge sense of
:31:17. > :31:20.achievement when I finished that four day walk. I thought, what's
:31:21. > :31:24.next? You went for the big one! There were a few things in between.
:31:25. > :31:28.What's it like at the top of the world? It's incredible, the view,
:31:29. > :31:32.you can see as far as the edge of the Earth, or must the curvature of
:31:33. > :31:36.the Earth you can see. It's incredibly noisy because of the
:31:37. > :31:39.wind. It's very difficult to communicate to somebody who is even
:31:40. > :31:46.sat right next to you. Did you use oxygen? Yes, I did. The feeling was
:31:47. > :31:49.one of relief that all of the hard work and training had paid off
:31:50. > :31:54.because it was an 18 month journey or more to get there. And of course
:31:55. > :31:57.climbing mountains is an amazing thing to do and it doesn't have to
:31:58. > :32:04.be Everest. It could be something that you could do for your Diamond
:32:05. > :32:07.Challenge this year. You could do anything. What an achievement. Thank
:32:08. > :32:11.you to all of you for popping in. We have loved having you.
:32:12. > :32:14.One of the skills the Duke of Edinburgh Awards hopes to develop
:32:15. > :32:15.is the ability to remain calm under pressure.
:32:16. > :32:18.And nothing demonstrates that skill more than the amazing story
:32:19. > :32:21.of Paul Kelly - who owes his life to the cool head of one
:32:22. > :32:35.Paul Kelly runs an industrial cement business. At his factory near
:32:36. > :32:42.Preston, huge mixes grinds together the ingredients for the building
:32:43. > :32:47.trade. It's called a rhythm blender, and it's designed to fold a
:32:48. > :32:52.material, like a mixer folds dough. One day to mark of his staff called
:32:53. > :32:58.in sick, leaving him alone in the factory. I was chasing around,
:32:59. > :33:01.putting on the mixers, ready to put them into the packaging. All of the
:33:02. > :33:06.mixes were for level and guarded with a grill, except one. There was
:33:07. > :33:11.powder coming up, filtering up into the atmosphere. I thought, I will
:33:12. > :33:16.just throw a piece of cardboard over it. I heard the phone go, rushed to
:33:17. > :33:24.get it, stepped onto the cardboard realising it was covering the hole,
:33:25. > :33:30.and fell into the mixer. I was being rotated at a pace of 30 revolutions
:33:31. > :33:36.per minute. Every two seconds I was being turned over. I was churning
:33:37. > :33:40.around, soon realised I was going to die. Do you remember what you were
:33:41. > :33:47.thinking when you fell in? I went into an area where my mind... It was
:33:48. > :33:55.very light, very floaty, cotton wool type effect. The next thing, the
:33:56. > :34:00.machine mixer stopped. I couldn't believe it. I found out later that
:34:01. > :34:04.what caused the machine to stop was my Wellington boot acting as a
:34:05. > :34:09.break, which cut the power to the motor. I immediately kicked into
:34:10. > :34:14.survival, putting my elbows either side of the machine to try to lift
:34:15. > :34:18.myself out, and I couldn't move. Outside, lorry driver Mick was
:34:19. > :34:23.delivering sand, a process that usually takes an hour. On this day,
:34:24. > :34:28.by some miracle, he left his lorry to come into the factory. I don't
:34:29. > :34:33.usually leave my tank unattended, but on entering the factory and I
:34:34. > :34:39.wanted to buy some stuff off Paul. I heard this funny mumbling, like, and
:34:40. > :34:44.I thought, where's that coming from. I could just see this head bobbing
:34:45. > :34:49.up and down. I ran up the stairs like mad, realised it was Paul. I
:34:50. > :34:54.didn't know whether it was switched off or not, so I pressed the red
:34:55. > :34:59.button to make sure it was OK. I looked in, thought, blimey, this is
:35:00. > :35:02.a mess. I made him as comfortable as possible, tried to lift him out
:35:03. > :35:08.which I couldn't do because he was trapped. I dialled 999. He climbed
:35:09. > :35:13.in the mixer with me and held me until the emergency services came. I
:35:14. > :35:19.can't tell you what his hands were like. He had rubber gloves on, and
:35:20. > :35:25.the blood was amazing. I crossed his hands and hugged him. I was shouting
:35:26. > :35:29.at him, because he was drifting in and out by this time, and I was
:35:30. > :35:39.screaming at him to stay, stay with me, Paul. We could hear the klaxon
:35:40. > :35:44.in the background. The paramedic wanted to get me out, I was lifted
:35:45. > :35:50.out like it was on a crucifix. I was put into the air ambulance and lost
:35:51. > :35:53.consciousness. Paul was flown straight to Wythenshawe Hospital
:35:54. > :35:59.where he nearly died of his horrific injuries. I practically lost my left
:36:00. > :36:04.leg. It was just about holding, but it severed quite close to the knee
:36:05. > :36:10.joint. Lost my hand, severed around the wrist. On my right hand I lost
:36:11. > :36:13.all my digits including the thumb. The surgeons reattached the fingers,
:36:14. > :36:22.but I never found the little one. They took my big toe for my left leg
:36:23. > :36:29.that I lost. During 30 hours of surgery, Paul required 30 units of
:36:30. > :36:34.blood, the equivalent to his entire workforce giving one unit each. I've
:36:35. > :36:41.gone from being a triple amputee, without the use of my hands, and
:36:42. > :36:44.without a leg, to enjoying life. Without the blood donations I
:36:45. > :36:51.wouldn't have survived. It's as important as Mick saving my life.
:36:52. > :36:55.Amazing story. It's like falling into a combine harvester or a jet
:36:56. > :36:56.engine, I can't forgive anything more potentially lethal.
:36:57. > :37:00.Thanks to Paul for sharing his story.
:37:01. > :37:07.If it's inspired others to give blood, there are links of how to do
:37:08. > :37:11.that on the website. Let's do some famous faces in unusual places. We
:37:12. > :37:18.have had some brilliant ones. You can show your first one. This is
:37:19. > :37:22.Abby, who saw Harry Styles at her local supermarket shopping for a
:37:23. > :37:29.barbecue. I thought it was Harry Styles who had met Helen Mirren!
:37:30. > :37:33.Quite similar. Michael saw Samuel L Jackson in the pound shop in
:37:34. > :37:41.Liverpool. He loved it, he was spending loads. You can in a pound
:37:42. > :37:45.shop! Emily saw Orlando Bloom in a little tiny village in Northern
:37:46. > :37:54.Ireland. David and Victoria Beckham were spotted in a kebab shop when
:37:55. > :37:57.Victoria was pregnant with Brooklyn. It was probably cravings!
:37:58. > :38:00.So Aled - this is your new album - One Voice - features a super
:38:01. > :38:16.An extraordinary version of yourself. Jimmy is mend?! That would
:38:17. > :38:20.have been a better idea. It's me at 15, the final album I made as a boy,
:38:21. > :38:26.but it was never released because my voice broke and I got dropped by the
:38:27. > :38:33.record company. This had the entire album on it, and it was my mum and
:38:34. > :38:39.dad 's airing cupboard for years. It was on this DAT. One after noon we
:38:40. > :38:43.were having a conversation about how Melbourne 's I made as a kid, and I
:38:44. > :38:47.said it was 16. My dad said it was 17 and he took this out of the
:38:48. > :38:53.airing cupboard. It was the first album I had listened to over the
:38:54. > :38:56.years as me as a boy. I had 16 albums in four years, so I had never
:38:57. > :39:00.really listened to them. Recording and moving on. You have completely
:39:01. > :39:11.forgotten recording them, and this is a reminder.
:39:12. > :39:42.We have all glazed over the fact that the record is in EF. How did
:39:43. > :39:46.you feel when you listened to this 29 years later for the first time.
:39:47. > :39:52.It feels like being a grandfather, and this boy is my grandchild. I've
:39:53. > :39:59.never looked back at the soprano bit apart from Walking In The Air at
:40:00. > :40:03.Christmas. I'm really proud, I think it's the best thing I did as a kid.
:40:04. > :40:11.The top of the voice is really sparkling. My mum and I listened to
:40:12. > :40:15.it with one earbud each when we found it. It was quite teary. We
:40:16. > :40:21.didn't think it would work when we went to the studio. One person, and
:40:22. > :40:26.two voices. So we had this hard and producer behind the glass, and they
:40:27. > :40:29.were asking, did you feel that. Going back to the early days, you
:40:30. > :40:36.were almost a professional tennis player. I was quite good. Pretty
:40:37. > :40:40.decent. County standard. It brought you into contact with royalty.
:40:41. > :40:46.Didn't you do a special private concert for Charles and Diana? I
:40:47. > :40:51.forgot my words in front of the Queen, singing Memory. Rory Bremner
:40:52. > :40:56.said, you haven't got one! I sent privately for the Prince and
:40:57. > :41:00.Princess of Wales. Prince Charles rang me at work, I nearly put the
:41:01. > :41:04.phone down, I didn't believe it. But he said he would like to hear me
:41:05. > :41:10.sing before my voice broke. So we went down from north London to
:41:11. > :41:14.Kensington Palace. I was so scared I couldn't open the door of the car. I
:41:15. > :41:21.sang privately for them, Charles wanted a lot of Handel, Diana wanted
:41:22. > :41:27.a lot of songs by the Beatles. We sang for about an hour, and I
:41:28. > :41:31.proceeded to drop a glass of water on the carpet. I thought it would be
:41:32. > :41:35.off to the tower, but Diana rubbed it in and said the boys did it all
:41:36. > :41:41.the time. We used to have the same hairdresser, me and Diana! Richard
:41:42. > :41:47.Dalton cut her hair in Kensington Palace, and I came down to London
:41:48. > :41:52.and would be offered the same as eight treat. I was offered that same
:41:53. > :41:57.gig, but I think I asked for too much money. It sounds lovely.
:41:58. > :42:00.Aled's album One Voice is out Friday and the cathedral tour begins
:42:01. > :42:08.Pre-orders of the Albemarle going very well. It's going really well.
:42:09. > :42:11.Now, Arabella - Aled has been looking back at his past.
:42:12. > :42:15.Now it's time for you to relive your Mastermind experience -
:42:16. > :42:32.What was the name of the singer who became Cliff Barnes' love interest
:42:33. > :42:39.after he stole her from JR? Pass. Pass. Pass. Past. Before her
:42:40. > :42:49.marriage, Donna had been the wife of which former governor of Texas?
:42:50. > :42:54.Somebody colder. Sam Colver. In which year did the shooting... I've
:42:55. > :42:57.started so I will finish... APPLAUSE It's a lot more entertaining than
:42:58. > :43:04.knowing all the answers. What went wrong? They said Will you do it on
:43:05. > :43:07.this day, and I said yes no problem. I used to be obsessed with Dallas
:43:08. > :43:12.but I thought I would check my memory, so I had the videos of
:43:13. > :43:18.Dallas and was going to watch them on the Wednesday. On Tuesday night
:43:19. > :43:27.there was a car waiting for me from the BBC. My agent had moved it back
:43:28. > :43:30.a day. The researchers said to me that they thought I would be the
:43:31. > :43:37.brightest person on the show. The other guest was Tara Palmer
:43:38. > :43:42.Tomkinson. We made the question is really difficult for you. There was

:44:03. > :44:06.Michael Burke was furious. We are running out of time, we were going
:44:07. > :44:09.to put you through the mill again, but we can't do it.
:44:10. > :44:11.We're used to sitcoms rewriting history -
:44:12. > :44:14.Blackadder and Allo Allo spring to mind - but in the 1960's,
:44:15. > :44:17.two young filmakers presented
:44:18. > :44:20.an alternative version of the past which was much much darker.
:44:21. > :44:22.Here's Joe Crowley on the trailblazing teenagers
:44:23. > :44:37.Are cities are filled with monuments to Britain's literary victories, and
:44:38. > :44:42.yet if Germany had triumphed in the Second World War things might have
:44:43. > :44:45.looked very different. Of course, it was a reality that never came to
:44:46. > :44:51.pass, that it was portrayed in a fascinating film about Britain and
:44:52. > :44:55.the Second World War. It happened here, is a 1964 cult classic which
:44:56. > :45:01.imagines Britain under a nightmarish Nazi occupation. One of the most
:45:02. > :45:06.surprises things about this film is that it was the brainchild of two
:45:07. > :45:10.teenagers. Kevin Brownlow was an 18-year-old trainee film editor when
:45:11. > :45:20.he came up for the idea one day in 1956. A black Citroen screeched to a
:45:21. > :45:25.halt beside me and the driver ran out to a delicatessen and shouted at
:45:26. > :45:29.his companion in German. I thought that was a great subject for a film.
:45:30. > :45:35.What might have happened if the Nazis had occupied. Having borrowed
:45:36. > :45:40.camera Kevin assembled a team of volunteers to shoot a Nazi rally in
:45:41. > :45:43.Trafalgar Square. We just got everyone we could find, including
:45:44. > :45:48.passers-by, and crammed them in front of the camera and shot as
:45:49. > :45:53.though there were hundreds of people, it was awful. Kevin Tindal
:45:54. > :46:01.with Andrew Mollo, a 16-year-old military enthusiasts who knew how to
:46:02. > :46:05.make the scenes look realistic. We have come back to recreate one of
:46:06. > :46:09.the most chilling scenes. You have to be ambitious to get very
:46:10. > :46:13.difficult, I don't think we had permission, we had to do it early in
:46:14. > :46:17.the morning and we had to do it very quickly before anybody realised what
:46:18. > :46:23.was happening. Their mock newsreel made ripples in the movie industry.
:46:24. > :46:29.Stanley Kubrick gave them some film stock left over from his classic
:46:30. > :46:34.Doctor Strangelove and they enlisted 22-year-old as director of
:46:35. > :46:40.photography. It was an incredible opportunity to spread my wings and
:46:41. > :46:44.learn a lot about filming. -- Phil Mackie, just what I dreamt of. The
:46:45. > :46:52.film became a real drama about life under fascism. What is the
:46:53. > :46:56.significance of this location? Our main character Pauline is coming to
:46:57. > :47:01.see a doctor in a basement flat and in the flat there is an injured
:47:02. > :47:08.resistance fighter. We've got to fight fascism because it's a disease
:47:09. > :47:10.of the mind. It Happened Here shows that people would have had to make
:47:11. > :47:15.difficult choices about which side they would be on. We can't stand on
:47:16. > :47:21.the sidelines any longer. We don't accept your decisions. The
:47:22. > :47:23.conventional approach for a film-maker would be to portray all
:47:24. > :47:31.British people as resistance fighters. But the film was more
:47:32. > :47:35.complex than that. It was a very provocative, very provocative idea.
:47:36. > :47:42.Filming began on It Happened Here 60 years ago but for the film-makers it
:47:43. > :47:50.still means a huge amount. What is it that you both really wanted to
:47:51. > :47:55.show in this movie? I think it was that the British were very smug and
:47:56. > :48:02.they tended to say it could never have happened here. And in fact,
:48:03. > :48:06.it's terribly difficult to exist in an occupied country without
:48:07. > :48:11.collaborating. You try and humanise it, puts on parade in rather than
:48:12. > :48:14.black and white. Trying to be more realistic about human nature. It
:48:15. > :48:19.Happened Here premiered in 19 sick to four and won awards in Europe and
:48:20. > :48:22.the US. It could only have been made by people with a fearless take on
:48:23. > :48:28.the subject and a huge passion for film-making. Peter has gone on to
:48:29. > :48:30.work at the highest level of his craft and was director of
:48:31. > :48:37.photography on The Empire Strikes Back. Andrew Mollo has used his
:48:38. > :48:43.knowledge of military history to advise on a string of films about
:48:44. > :48:46.the Second World War. And in 2011 Kevin Brownlow was awarded an
:48:47. > :48:56.honorary Oscar for his work as a film historian. But it all began
:48:57. > :48:59.with this very striking film. Fascinating. Interesting film.
:49:00. > :49:03.So Kevin and Andrew were trailblazers in making
:49:04. > :49:05.a 'what if' film, and you've brought some other examples
:49:06. > :49:18.We are quite preoccupied with the Second World War so that's one of
:49:19. > :49:21.the big counterfactual questions, what if? They were doing it really
:49:22. > :49:26.early, they came up with the ideas in the 50s and there have been loads
:49:27. > :49:32.of examples since, famous novels, Dominion by CJ Sansom, Fatherland,
:49:33. > :49:38.great book and also made into a film. Striking imagery of Nazi
:49:39. > :49:41.banners. You have Hitler as an old man, for his 75th birthday. One of
:49:42. > :49:45.the images from the first page of the book is Heathrow Airport in 1964
:49:46. > :49:56.and the Nazis had won and there were aircraft with red swastikas on the
:49:57. > :50:00.tail. The latest is The Man in the High Castle, this Amazon series by
:50:01. > :50:03.Ridley Scott. Explained the idea. The axis powers won the Second World
:50:04. > :50:09.War, Japan and Germany. America is divided into two to the west of the
:50:10. > :50:12.Rockies there is a Japanese controlled puppet state and to the
:50:13. > :50:17.East you have an artist date tent in the middle this neutral zone. Like
:50:18. > :50:21.the Vichy zone in France. People are trying to escape either state and
:50:22. > :50:24.they run to this lawless area. We have not got a picture of it but
:50:25. > :50:30.there is a picture of Concord with Nazi insignia on the tail. Really
:50:31. > :50:33.weird, very chilling when you see that. That has been a huge hit. What
:50:34. > :50:38.does it tell is about the actual history? Very little. It's based on
:50:39. > :50:43.the premise that Roosevelt was assassinated in the 30s and America
:50:44. > :50:47.never really got involved in the war in the same way. What we really
:50:48. > :50:50.learn is about the time when it was written, because it's based on a
:50:51. > :50:56.book from the early 60s, the height of the Cold War, this book wants to
:50:57. > :51:00.refocus public minds on the atrocities of Nazi history. Getting
:51:01. > :51:06.forgotten in the battle of coming as. He was fearing that America was
:51:07. > :51:09.drifting to the right politically so in some ways it was a warning about
:51:10. > :51:13.what you'd get if you go too far towards fascism. Not all of these
:51:14. > :51:17.enterprises are as successful as those we have talked about. There
:51:18. > :51:26.was a terrible thing like Thunderbirds on acid! Have you seen
:51:27. > :51:32.this? This came out in 2008, it's a bit like a Thunderbirds spoof but it
:51:33. > :51:36.had a huge cast doing the voices. It was a good cast. It had your
:51:37. > :51:42.McGregor, Timothy Spall, Dominic West, Rosamund Pike, Richard E
:51:43. > :51:47.Grant, just because you didn't see it we have a little clip.
:51:48. > :51:56.They are England's last hope. Kill them all! Against a full-scale Nazi
:51:57. > :52:04.invasion. The German army is your friend! It's the invasion. The
:52:05. > :52:16.budget for the film was in the millions. It was $6 million and it
:52:17. > :52:19.grossed 20,000. The idea was the Nazis invaded London and everyone
:52:20. > :52:23.regrouped in Scotland to fight them off. But as you can tell
:52:24. > :52:27.counterfactual history by itself isn't always a hit because that did
:52:28. > :52:34.not do well. Joe, thank you very much. We are off
:52:35. > :52:42.to a place very close to Elaine's heart, the Edwardian public
:52:43. > :52:47.bathhouse just south of Glasgow. The council tried to close these bats
:52:48. > :52:53.about 15 years ago but they had no concept who they were up against.
:52:54. > :52:57.This is Govanhill in Glasgow, one of the most deprived areas in Scotland
:52:58. > :53:02.with high levels of poverty and crime. However, it's also home to
:53:03. > :53:11.one of the most successful examples of social solidarity in recent
:53:12. > :53:13.times. Save our pool! In 2001 residents occupied the local
:53:14. > :53:20.swimming pool in an attempt to prevent the council from shutting it
:53:21. > :53:24.down. Young people can go anywhere else to swim.
:53:25. > :53:26.Is the 15th anniversary of the occupation and I'm here to find out
:53:27. > :53:36.how the building brought the community together.
:53:37. > :53:42.This is our main pool, the large pond as it was known back in the
:53:43. > :53:46.day. This is the largest of the three swimming pools. It is such a
:53:47. > :53:50.huge space, I can always feel the history. It is kind of like a
:53:51. > :53:55.cathedral. This place was opened in 1917, built during the First World
:53:56. > :53:59.War. We have a women's pool, children's pool, it was also a
:54:00. > :54:03.community building with Turkish bats and soreness, a place the whole
:54:04. > :54:05.community could share. All of the divisions in the community were left
:54:06. > :54:15.at the door. But it wasn't just about swimming.
:54:16. > :54:18.This is what is known as the slipper barfs, 40 bats, women up that side
:54:19. > :54:22.and men decide and people would come here for a wash after work. It was a
:54:23. > :54:25.very important building and that's why people were reluctant to let it
:54:26. > :54:28.go. Despite the popularity of the pool
:54:29. > :54:37.the council were intent on shutting it down. They were part of the
:54:38. > :54:41.occupation of the Bath in 2001. Initially it was a bit of fun and
:54:42. > :54:47.then we realised, my God, we've just occupied building. So a number of,
:54:48. > :54:50.mainly women godparents of the local swimming club chained themselves to
:54:51. > :54:53.the sun loungers and said they were not moving. The police did not know
:54:54. > :54:57.how to react, the council didn't know how to react. We realised how
:54:58. > :55:08.much power we had in just occupying this building. We want a pool on
:55:09. > :55:14.Govanhill! Four months and months these people have been ignoring you.
:55:15. > :55:17.It was a great atmosphere. We did things like the hokey Cokie and
:55:18. > :55:25.tried to keep it as peaceful and light-hearted as much as we could.
:55:26. > :55:31.141 days later we had to be forcibly removed. I can remember the day of
:55:32. > :55:37.the eviction, the sheriff officers and police came and woke everybody
:55:38. > :55:43.up. That was the end of the game. When the sheriff's officers broke
:55:44. > :55:52.the windows to put the shutters on that was one of the most horrific...
:55:53. > :55:54.I feel like I'm going to cry. Sorry! After that, the demonstrations
:55:55. > :56:00.carried on and the building was eventually listed.
:56:01. > :56:05.It's obvious how Passion of the people are about this building. And
:56:06. > :56:10.after 15 years it's time this pool was filled with water once again --
:56:11. > :56:13.passionate the people are. We secured enough funding to open up
:56:14. > :56:17.two thirds of the building. Our motto was united we will swim and we
:56:18. > :56:18.will have swimming in this building again but we will have more than
:56:19. > :56:32.that. Brilliant result. Elaine, this is
:56:33. > :56:36.very close to your heart, you knew who the council were dealing with.
:56:37. > :56:42.Never underestimate a Glaswegian woman, that is all I will say. It
:56:43. > :56:45.was the mothers, the women generally, who stuck together. There
:56:46. > :56:49.is a great tradition of that through the rent strikes as well in Glasgow.
:56:50. > :56:55.They said, this is our resource and we want to keep this. They were
:56:56. > :56:58.quite defiant on it. They were up against really difficult opposition.
:56:59. > :57:04.I'd love to have been at the meeting at the council when the penny drops
:57:05. > :57:14.that this was not going to go away. Exactly. Congratulations. It's great
:57:15. > :57:16.for them. I don't do anything. It's down to tenacity. There are
:57:17. > :57:20.communities across the UK that when they are threatened they don't value
:57:21. > :57:24.what they have got until they are threatened. Earlier we asked for
:57:25. > :57:34.lost Tories of spotting famous people in the least likely places.
:57:35. > :57:45.We have had a brilliant response. -- your pictures. She seemed really
:57:46. > :57:52.confused when asking for treats for pets in a sweetie shop. He was seen
:57:53. > :57:58.in the National Shire horse centre. She worked in the gift shop and
:57:59. > :58:05.apparently you walked in to buy some polos. Yes, to feed to the horses.
:58:06. > :58:09.This is a great picture. Julie's daughter bumped into Stephen Hawking
:58:10. > :58:14.at a restaurant in Abergavenny, what a moment. Alice Szot Mary Berry in a
:58:15. > :58:20.local supermarket buying orange juice. And then when Mary understood
:58:21. > :58:26.summary had spotted her she ran into the clothing section. The last one,

:58:37. > :58:38.I was little in a shop in London. Dustin Hoffman coming out of the
:58:39. > :58:47.gents. That is all we have time for. Thanks to Elaine and Arabella -

:58:58. > :59:01.been lovely to have you. Fearne Cotton and Adil Ray will be
:59:02. > :59:08.keeping our seats warm tomorrow. Hello, I'm Tina Daheley
