:00:21. > :00:36.Hello and welcome to the One Show with Angela Scanlon.
:00:37. > :00:43.If you have a swoon when you hear that,
:00:44. > :00:48.and it's become the soundtrack to loved-up couples everywhere.
:00:49. > :01:04.Thank you very much! It is a beautiful song. Tell us about the
:01:05. > :01:12.moment when you first bladed to your wife, Chrissy. I sang it to her in
:01:13. > :01:16.bed, and she started crying, but she didn't hear the recorded version for
:01:17. > :01:21.a little while. But I was really happy with it, I thought she might
:01:22. > :01:26.like it. I sang it for her, and she loved it. Is that the barometer, if
:01:27. > :01:32.you get emotion? Making her cry is too much of a bar, most of my songs
:01:33. > :01:38.would never get put out! I imagine you have got a piano at home, she is
:01:39. > :01:43.constantly hearing things. Most of my writing happens in the studio, I
:01:44. > :01:47.go to work, I feel like it is a work day, collaborate with other writers,
:01:48. > :01:50.we come up with ideas. She doesn't like to hear them until they are a
:01:51. > :01:54.little more further along, because she wants to hear them close to
:01:55. > :01:58.done, because she hates when she falls in love with the original demo
:01:59. > :02:03.version and then we change it, she hates that. She's like, wait until
:02:04. > :02:08.you are closer to done to play it. You were on piano yesterday, very
:02:09. > :02:15.lucky travellers at London's St Pancras! Wonderful! How does that
:02:16. > :02:21.piano compared to others? It was a good one! I have played a range of
:02:22. > :02:26.pianos, we had an old one, beat up in the house when I was growing up,
:02:27. > :02:33.I played on a church piano. That was out of tune halve the time. So
:02:34. > :02:38.everything is a step up from them! Did you enjoy that? I loved it! I
:02:39. > :02:43.loved it. They were so many surprise fans there, just on their commute,
:02:44. > :02:49.some of them coming in from Europe, but some of them just going to work.
:02:50. > :02:55.It was really cool to just interact with the fans that were there. We
:02:56. > :02:58.know you have quite a full trophy cabinet, ten Grammys, Golden Globes,
:02:59. > :03:03.an Oscar, but have you ever held one of these? Is that a gold medal? I
:03:04. > :03:12.have held one before, but they are pretty awesome! From Atlanta, this
:03:13. > :03:19.is cool! 20 years old. There are quite a few back there, there are
:03:20. > :03:25.loads! I carried the torch when you guys at the London Olympics, in
:03:26. > :03:28.Edinburgh. Yeah, so I ran with it for a while. Sir Steve Redgrave and
:03:29. > :03:33.James Cracknell have seven of them between them, and we will find out
:03:34. > :03:39.later why they are going head to head. And between the three of us,
:03:40. > :03:42.we have seven as well! Mark Watson and Sophie Raworth, they are here,
:03:43. > :03:45.we will find out what they have been doing in a boat.
:03:46. > :03:47.You may remember when a couple of weeks ago
:03:48. > :03:50.Ed Sheeran was in and met up with a six-year-old superfan Jaden,
:03:51. > :03:54.who was distraught that he couldn't get a ticket to see Ed play
:03:55. > :03:56.a very special charity gig for the Teenage Cancer Trust.
:03:57. > :03:58.Some of the tickets were later offered for huge mark-ups
:03:59. > :04:01.on the website Viagogo, even though it had been specifically asked
:04:02. > :04:11.Matt Allright is keen to get some answers.
:04:12. > :04:19.It is the night Ed Sheeran fans have been waiting for. He is playing a
:04:20. > :04:23.very special date at the Royal Albert Hall to raise funds for the
:04:24. > :04:26.Teenage Cancer Trust. Tonight is a complete sell-out, and these guys
:04:27. > :04:30.are not just turning out to sea edge Sheron but support a charity that
:04:31. > :04:34.helps kids when they are going through the Tavistock times. -- to
:04:35. > :04:40.see Ed Sheeran. The money from ticket sales is going to a trust,
:04:41. > :04:43.but not just the charity is profiting from this gig. Earlier
:04:44. > :04:50.this month, we revealed how online ticket resale site Viagogo allowed
:04:51. > :04:54.people to Celtic and for thousands of pounds, money which will not
:04:55. > :05:02.benefit sick young people. -- to sell tickets. The trust asked
:05:03. > :05:09.company not to let it happen. They have put people on the door to stop
:05:10. > :05:16.people with an official tickets getting in. -- unofficial. Tickets
:05:17. > :05:22.are only valid if fans have valid photo IDs which matches the person
:05:23. > :05:27.who bought the tickets. How do you feel about the extra restrictions?
:05:28. > :05:31.It is a good idea, especially because it is for a good cause. It
:05:32. > :05:37.is a charity gig, you shouldn't be able to sell them. To buy them from
:05:38. > :05:41.a tout and be rejected at the door, I would be heartbroken. We didn't
:05:42. > :05:48.find anyone with a unofficial ticket to add been turned away, but touts
:05:49. > :05:52.were still around. We saw one ticket reseller helping his buyer get in.
:05:53. > :05:57.We have just seen the loophole in the system, the tout walks in with
:05:58. > :06:01.his own IT, and now that guy, who was paid over the odds for a ticket,
:06:02. > :06:05.money that will not make it to the Teenage Cancer Trust, he is about to
:06:06. > :06:10.watch Ed Sheeran. We flagged this to the staff, but as the seller could
:06:11. > :06:15.match the name on the ticket, security had to let them in. The
:06:16. > :06:21.trust's director of fund-raising accents the system isn't perfect. I
:06:22. > :06:26.don't think any system is foolproof, we have done everything that we can,
:06:27. > :06:29.the music should be about people who want to support Teenage Cancer
:06:30. > :06:33.Trust, which is what these shows are all about. Meanwhile, the Government
:06:34. > :06:37.is currently reviewing the whole of the secondary ticketing sales
:06:38. > :06:43.market. Last week, Viagogo gave evidence at the Commons select
:06:44. > :06:46.committee, but it refused to attend. They do not believe they have
:06:47. > :06:53.adequate representation in the UK in order to assist the committee with
:06:54. > :06:58.its inquiries. That is odd, because the American band started the
:06:59. > :07:03.company in the UK. We started the business in Europe, and it moved
:07:04. > :07:06.over to London... When he set up Viagogo, he was living at this smart
:07:07. > :07:10.Knightsbridge address, and although the edge quarters are in Switzerland
:07:11. > :07:15.and Ireland, they have an office registered in London. When Eric is
:07:16. > :07:22.next in the country, I want to see if he will come into the show for a
:07:23. > :07:27.chat. Look at this, some tickets for Eric Baker to appear on the sofa as
:07:28. > :07:35.a guest. The beauty of these is that they are free! So let's see if he is
:07:36. > :07:43.at the Viagogo office in London. Hello, looking for Viagogo. Are they
:07:44. > :07:50.no longer here? They have moved, they have still got the lease.
:07:51. > :08:00.People like me? Tickets. We don't have any information to give.
:08:01. > :08:05.Security will not let our cameras into the office, but they let me
:08:06. > :08:09.have a look around. The desks are there, there is still signage, and
:08:10. > :08:14.there is also a load of male sitting on the table. At the top of the pile
:08:15. > :08:20.was a letter from the House of Commons, unopened, to the executive
:08:21. > :08:23.or chief executive of Viagogo. Maybe it was the invitation to join them
:08:24. > :08:31.at deselecting ready. So it seems Eric Baker and Viagogo are doing
:08:32. > :08:35.their best to avoid the spotlight. I think the clearest way to get the
:08:36. > :08:40.message to him is this, the tickets are here, you are welcome on the One
:08:41. > :08:44.Show any time to explain the situation with Viagogo and the
:08:45. > :08:51.Teenage Cancer Trust. You don't even need photo IDs, we know what you
:08:52. > :08:57.look like. Matt is with the us now, why did the
:08:58. > :09:01.House of Commons summon Viagogo and those other websites? If you are a
:09:02. > :09:06.music fan, you probably know the answer, if you have used these
:09:07. > :09:08.sites, people are reporting that they have very disappointing
:09:09. > :09:13.experiences, the tickets can be faked from time to time, the prices,
:09:14. > :09:16.you look at the prices of some of the tickets, they seem to be
:09:17. > :09:21.exorbitant, and sometimes people have booked through and can only
:09:22. > :09:24.work out what the prices when it is in front of them. All sorts of
:09:25. > :09:28.reasons why the House of Commons looked at this and thought it needed
:09:29. > :09:32.regulation. The House of Lords have been looking at it at well, what
:09:33. > :09:36.have they been discussing? In the last couple of days? They have
:09:37. > :09:39.brought in a couple of interesting amendments to strengthen consumer
:09:40. > :09:43.law to make sure that if there are restrictions on the tickets, things
:09:44. > :09:48.like partial viewing, those sorts of things, anything that might affect
:09:49. > :09:52.your decision to buy those tickets, that should be there upfront, terms
:09:53. > :09:57.and conditions, restrictions should be upfront. But they are also
:09:58. > :10:04.looking to outlaw software which can get around the restrictions, to be
:10:05. > :10:09.able to harvest these tickets in hundreds or thousands and then sell
:10:10. > :10:12.them on. How successful they can be to stop people using those is a
:10:13. > :10:17.different matter, but they are going to try to make it against the law.
:10:18. > :10:24.For you, your European tour tickets are going on sale tomorrow, this
:10:25. > :10:28.software is going to harvest them. Yeah, and we will get feedback on
:10:29. > :10:35.social media when fans asking, why are you charging $1000? We are not
:10:36. > :10:39.charging that amount, these resale sites are judging this exorbitant
:10:40. > :10:45.amount. We want our fans to pay a fair market price for the show, but
:10:46. > :10:48.we don't want these bots coming in, snatching up all the tickets, making
:10:49. > :10:52.them more scarce and then selling them to the highest bidder,
:10:53. > :10:57.capturing all the value, making it hard for people with regular incomes
:10:58. > :11:06.to come and see the show. There are some artists who are trying to sort
:11:07. > :11:11.it out. We try, it is hard. Talk to Iron Maiden, they say they have got
:11:12. > :11:14.rid of 90% of it. It is hard, there are electronic ways of stopping it
:11:15. > :11:21.from happening, but it is a challenge. Thank you for coming in,
:11:22. > :11:25.Matt. John, not only are you a talented songwriter, but an
:11:26. > :11:32.executive producer now, you can add La La Land to your long list of
:11:33. > :11:39.credits, let's see you in action. # I don't know what your name is
:11:40. > :11:46.# But I like it let's I don't know what to do
:11:47. > :11:55.# But I want to do it with you... # I enjoyed and too, it was fun.
:11:56. > :11:59.Oh! A lot of fans of La La Land in the house, did you realise when you
:12:00. > :12:04.were working on it that it was so special? Because, I mean, it has
:12:05. > :12:08.been... The positivity around it has been just bonkers. Well, when we
:12:09. > :12:12.were executive producing projects, you never know for sure that
:12:13. > :12:21.everything is going to line up perfectly, but it is great when you
:12:22. > :12:25.have a great director, which Damien is, Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone are
:12:26. > :12:29.fantastic, there was a great script, and you just hope you execute it in
:12:30. > :12:33.the right way, and personally, as an actor, I hadn't done a lot about
:12:34. > :12:37.before, it was my first major speaking role, so I took a lot of
:12:38. > :12:41.coaching, I wanted to make sure I was prepared, and I did all of that,
:12:42. > :12:45.and I felt really comfortable, belt really good, like I was surrounded
:12:46. > :12:52.by a great team. I felt great about it, but you never know how it is
:12:53. > :12:54.going to turn out, so many moving parts and so many people involved,
:12:55. > :12:59.but it really worked, it connected with a lot of people. And it has had
:13:00. > :13:05.that added publicity as well after the Oscars. Yeah! That was quite an
:13:06. > :13:09.ending! How did you put that into words? Well, the moment was crazy,
:13:10. > :13:13.because first of all you are thrilled, but there was that weird
:13:14. > :13:18.moment when Warren Beatty hesitated, and then Faye Dunaway hesitated, and
:13:19. > :13:23.it was all kind of a little bit weird, but then they said our name,
:13:24. > :13:28.so everything was good! We go up on stage, so excited, then you see a
:13:29. > :13:33.guy with a headset walking around, and you are like, something is
:13:34. > :13:37.wrong... I thought maybe they were walking us off the show, saying we
:13:38. > :13:44.were taking too long to accept the award. But no, it wasn't our award
:13:45. > :13:47.to win! There has got to be a song in there! By the time I figured out
:13:48. > :13:54.what was going on, it went from joy to confusion to, eventually, kind of
:13:55. > :14:00.just laughing at it, it was pretty absurd. If you couldn't laugh at it,
:14:01. > :14:06.then... You would cry! Yeah, channel it into your next album. This album
:14:07. > :14:11.has, the title, Darkness And Light, it is a very personal album. Sure! I
:14:12. > :14:16.was writing it as my wife was pregnant and we were about to have
:14:17. > :14:20.our first child, so some of that was in my mind, this is the first album
:14:21. > :14:27.I have written since I got married, so those emotions and those feelings
:14:28. > :14:31.were all in the album. Is it harder to put those feelings into music
:14:32. > :14:36.when you want to be so protective about your family? No - because I
:14:37. > :14:45.feel like, as an artist, you want to be honest when you are writing, you
:14:46. > :14:48.want to communicate real emotion, and feeling those real emotions and
:14:49. > :14:52.having those real situations to write about, I think that makes it
:14:53. > :14:56.easier to write. And that has always been aching for you, that sense of
:14:57. > :15:03.duty as an artist to reflect emotion. I want to write about that
:15:04. > :15:06.and what is happening in the world too, and I think as long as we are
:15:07. > :15:14.being honest, our fans will connect with what we are doing. Nina Simone
:15:15. > :15:17.has been a big inspiration. Yeah, we named our daughter Luna Simone, she
:15:18. > :15:23.is an artist I have always looked up to, an artist needs to reflect the
:15:24. > :15:28.time in which they live, that is a quote. I loved her voice, piano
:15:29. > :15:33.playing, her spirit of boldness, of not being categorised, not being
:15:34. > :15:38.able to be told to sit down and shut up. She spoke truth, she sang truth,
:15:39. > :15:44.and she was an inspiration for all creative people, I think.
:15:45. > :15:48.John's tour, Darkness And Light, kicks off in Glasgow, tickets go on
:15:49. > :15:51.sale tomorrow. John has come to Europe at a very
:15:52. > :15:56.interesting time in our history, with the UK leaving
:15:57. > :15:58.the European Union. As the process of arguing over
:15:59. > :15:59.every tiny detail begins, we asked three couples who've been
:16:00. > :16:15.through their own separation to The British people have spoken, and
:16:16. > :16:20.the answer is we are out. The first year of the marriage was perfect, we
:16:21. > :16:25.had two cats, we played tennis. It started it delicately, and then our
:16:26. > :16:30.busy lifestyles took over. This is an historic moment for which there
:16:31. > :16:36.can be no turning back. When our youngest was four, Tim met someone
:16:37. > :16:42.else, and then we split up. Europe is ready to start the divorce
:16:43. > :16:52.process. We didn't have any problems in our marriage. We just stopped.
:16:53. > :16:54.Well, one of us stopped. We must do everything we can to make the
:16:55. > :17:00.process of divorce the least painful. You go through pain, rage,
:17:01. > :17:04.grief, murderous intent, you want to kill the person, and then you have a
:17:05. > :17:07.point at which you just have to decide you are going to be very
:17:08. > :17:12.practical for the future relationship you are going to have.
:17:13. > :17:16.The emotional turmoil was that everybody. We handle our own
:17:17. > :17:21.divorce, and cried our hearts out, because we just couldn't understand
:17:22. > :17:26.that life just got so busy that... We forgot what was important.
:17:27. > :17:30.TRANSLATION: Anyone who wants to leave this family can't expect to
:17:31. > :17:35.leave their responsibility was keeping all their privileges. Then
:17:36. > :17:41.the negotiations about who will keep the cats, who will get the CDs. It
:17:42. > :17:45.was important to retain a friendship, because Tim is the
:17:46. > :17:49.father of the children. It is really important that both people come out
:17:50. > :17:56.of it sensing fairness, because that is going to be your relationship for
:17:57. > :17:59.the next 20, 30, 40 years. I also want to be clear, here today and
:18:00. > :18:04.across Europe in the weeks ahead, that we are not walking away from
:18:05. > :18:08.our European friends. It was full of anguish and grief, all of those
:18:09. > :18:13.things that come with a break-up, of course. But you have to keep
:18:14. > :18:17.channels open, and it helped in both of our situation is that we were not
:18:18. > :18:21.going to other partners. There was a time even at the beginning when I
:18:22. > :18:25.felt that my friendship with Tim were so important that I would still
:18:26. > :18:29.be his friend no matter what. Even though we were going off and doing
:18:30. > :18:32.our own things, we were always on the phone together, always friends,
:18:33. > :18:37.and we would talk to each other about our new partners, that kind of
:18:38. > :18:41.which sounds bizarre, but they would never quite match up to each other.
:18:42. > :18:46.Different guys I have been very into, Tim has advised me on
:18:47. > :18:52.different stuff. I don't have any partner. I tried not to be a monk,
:18:53. > :18:56.but age has taken its toll. I want the deal to reflect the kind of
:18:57. > :19:02.mature, corporative relationship that close friends and allies
:19:03. > :19:04.enjoyed. It is important inside a break-up to remember what it was
:19:05. > :19:08.that attracted you to the other person in the first place and to
:19:09. > :19:13.hang onto those values and then to continue to use them and develop
:19:14. > :19:17.them. You can't go back. You have to live with the choices you have made.
:19:18. > :19:22.However painful they were forever body. Happiness and love is more
:19:23. > :19:26.important than anything else in the world. We just realise that anyone
:19:27. > :19:33.else that we met couldn't that up, really, so we made a decision. To
:19:34. > :19:36.get back together again! We married about four years ago, blissfully
:19:37. > :19:43.happy. Thank you to all of the Couples,
:19:44. > :19:46.lovely that Julie and Martin are back together, but that's not a
:19:47. > :19:51.reflection of what we think will with Brexit. My parents got divorced
:19:52. > :19:57.and got back together. But then they got divorced again! Well, they gave
:19:58. > :20:03.it a good shot. We are not saying that that is a good reflect on,
:20:04. > :20:10.either. Who is most likely to win an argument in your house? Chrissy, of
:20:11. > :20:16.course! Apparently, she is burning down the house while you are away.
:20:17. > :20:20.Apparently my mother-in-law was making sausages and they started a
:20:21. > :20:27.fire, but we have a lot of sting wishes of the house. Everyone is
:20:28. > :20:34.still alive, and the house is still intact. -- a lot of extinguishers.
:20:35. > :20:36.People will find out who is in charge!
:20:37. > :20:39.In a moment, we'll be catching up with Sir Steve, James,
:20:40. > :20:42.Mark and Sophie, who have taken part in the first ever UK Cancer Reseach
:20:43. > :20:54.That's after JJ Chalmers has shown us how a hidden masterpiece
:20:55. > :21:03.Throughout its history, the British military has had to face a hard
:21:04. > :21:08.truth. With war comes casualties. I should know. In 2011 while serving
:21:09. > :21:12.as a Royal Marine in Afghanistan, a roadside bomb blew away part of my
:21:13. > :21:16.hand, broke my neck and changed my world forever. The care I received
:21:17. > :21:21.in hospital not only saved my life, it allowed me to continue living it
:21:22. > :21:26.to the full. 300 years ago, things would have been different, and I
:21:27. > :21:30.probably would have ended up here. Known today as the Old Royal Naval
:21:31. > :21:34.College, this imposing building on the banks of the River Thames in
:21:35. > :21:38.Greenwich was originally built to care for Britain's injured and
:21:39. > :21:42.ageing sailors. And at its heart is a painting of monumental importance,
:21:43. > :21:48.and overlooked masterpiece which is now being brought back to life. It
:21:49. > :21:54.is just spectacular. More than I expected. Every single inch is
:21:55. > :22:02.covered in artwork that is just... It is epic. Spanning over 4000
:22:03. > :22:07.square metres, this colossal mural is the largest painted interior in
:22:08. > :22:13.Britain, and took nearly two decades to complete. Dr Matthews is the
:22:14. > :22:20.creator studying -- jury to studying what has been called Britain's
:22:21. > :22:23.Sistine Chapel. Who created this? He was a fascinating figure, Sir James
:22:24. > :22:29.Thornhill, an ambitious young artist from Dorset, and he was chosen to
:22:30. > :22:31.take this extraordinary mural over more glamorous Italian and French
:22:32. > :22:37.decorative painters. How important is this please? It is hugely
:22:38. > :22:41.important. It is a snapshot of our national history at the beginning of
:22:42. > :22:48.the 18th century. We are at war with the French, and you even have the
:22:49. > :22:56.new Protestant monarchs, William and Mary. Nowadays we are quite reserved
:22:57. > :23:00.in Britain, but this is so butch. There is nothing subtle about it at
:23:01. > :23:03.all. Work started on the painting in 1708, but 300 years of direct
:23:04. > :23:09.sunlight and pollution have taken their toll. Now an ?8.5 million
:23:10. > :23:13.renovation is hoping to restore this masterpiece to its former glory. The
:23:14. > :23:18.most challenging phase focuses on the 500 square metres ceiling. A
:23:19. > :23:24.viewing platform has been erected to allow access, and The One Show has
:23:25. > :23:30.been given an opportunity to see it up close. Look at this! It is the
:23:31. > :23:36.latest in a long line of restoration attempts, the most recent of which
:23:37. > :23:40.was captured by the BBC in 1958. It is extremely hard and difficult
:23:41. > :23:44.work. When it is fully restored, it will be splendid. Six decades later,
:23:45. > :23:48.a new team of conservatives is trying to turn back the clock. So
:23:49. > :23:53.what is it that you are trying to do now? We are happy to deal with the
:23:54. > :23:58.previous 60 years of dust and grime that has been accumulating. The key
:23:59. > :24:04.thing is to remove the dirt, but without in any way affecting the
:24:05. > :24:08.underlying original painting. This is a USB microscope which gives us
:24:09. > :24:12.around 100 times magnification, which is wonderful for
:24:13. > :24:19.characterising some of the surface quality. You can really see the
:24:20. > :24:22.damage in the cracks. Exactly. It picks up the dust and dirt in
:24:23. > :24:31.microscopic detail, but it also shows the natural ageing of this
:24:32. > :24:36.300-year-old painting. And just like in the 1950s, the laborious process
:24:37. > :24:40.of restoration is mainly done by hand. This is some of your team at
:24:41. > :24:48.work. Yes, this is Francesca and Eliza, doing some very wonderful
:24:49. > :24:51.water cleaning. Just water. And they are withdrawing a considerable
:24:52. > :24:55.amount of dirt on their swabs. This is a wonderful opportunity to invite
:24:56. > :24:59.the public to come and see conservation in action, for the
:25:00. > :25:04.first time. We have a lift to allow wheelchair access up onto the deck,
:25:05. > :25:07.so everybody can enjoy this work of art. As a former member of the Armed
:25:08. > :25:11.Forces, particularly the senior service, the Navy, and just being
:25:12. > :25:15.British, coming it gives me an enormous sense of right, but what is
:25:16. > :25:18.really special is that everybody can get a chance to come face-to-face
:25:19. > :25:22.with one of the nation's greatest artworks.

:25:37. > :25:45.Sophie, what have you been doing with this lot?
:25:46. > :25:54.We were asked to take part in the first celebrity boat race in the
:25:55. > :25:57.name of Cancer research, and we did one section of the boat race, so we
:25:58. > :26:03.literally did Putney to Hammersmith Bridge, a boat of eight, five
:26:04. > :26:08.complete novices, me, Gethin Jones, Vernon Kay and the like, and there
:26:09. > :26:13.we are. We are wearing the pink outfits. We had a couple of training
:26:14. > :26:19.sessions, that was it, and then straight in. And you were capped in,
:26:20. > :26:23.Sophie? I didn't realise I was captain until I read it in the
:26:24. > :26:31.newspaper later! We had Andrew Triggs-Hodge in the boat, and
:26:32. > :26:38.Olympian who had just won in Rio, so I was captain in name only. And
:26:39. > :26:45.James Comey how did she get an? It was very much like rowing with
:26:46. > :26:48.Steve, actually! And then she legged it to go and read the news. So
:26:49. > :26:51.positive! You had some unorthodox
:26:52. > :27:02.advice on how your team That is one way of putting it. Five
:27:03. > :27:05.complete novices, and a lot of moving parts, the tide, the
:27:06. > :27:09.currents, all the boat getting lined up in the first place, I realised if
:27:10. > :27:18.you jump the start, they were not going to call you back, so I said,
:27:19. > :27:23.just start, and they won't call you back, don't stop! Let's turn to
:27:24. > :27:24.Steve. Our Michelle and Dan Snow
:27:25. > :27:27.were on your team. He rowed the Boat Race for real
:27:28. > :27:37.as a student, of course, The whole idea was to have one
:27:38. > :27:43.session, and then there would be a session before the race and then the
:27:44. > :27:48.race on the same day. But rowing is all about practice, and to get
:27:49. > :27:52.people from complete novices into a race situation is almost impossible.
:27:53. > :28:00.I have been coaching on and off for 40 years, and I have never met
:28:01. > :28:05.anybody like mark before. That is sort of what you dream about Steve
:28:06. > :28:14.Redgrave staying about you. Did you have an issue with the oar? I just
:28:15. > :28:19.had trouble rowing the boat! It's what we call catching a crab in the
:28:20. > :28:22.game, so I managed to bruise a rib quite badly before we've got on the
:28:23. > :28:26.boat, and it went downhill from there. The first session was a
:28:27. > :28:29.matter of saying, I can't row, and I thought I would be a K because there
:28:30. > :28:33.were strong rowers in the team, but they said the boat can only go at
:28:34. > :28:38.the speed of the weakest rower, and another a lot of thinking to do! I
:28:39. > :28:39.had to come in for extra sessions. Is speeded up quite considerably
:28:40. > :28:42.now. We'll have to wait until Sunday
:28:43. > :28:45.to find out which team won, so we're going to have a race
:28:46. > :28:49.of our own with these two sub teams. Brains provided by team coaches
:28:50. > :28:51.Redgrave and Cracknell, and brawn I think Sophie and I should switch
:28:52. > :29:02.places. That is not the point! Rowers, you've got one minute to row
:29:03. > :29:05.as many metres as you can. Meanwhile your teammates
:29:06. > :29:06.will be answering questions Each question is worth a 20-metre
