Hello and welcome to the One Show with Angela Scanlon.

:00:21.:00:36.

If you have a swoon when you hear that,

:00:37.:00:43.

and it's become the soundtrack to loved-up couples everywhere.

:00:44.:00:48.

Thank you very much! It is a beautiful song. Tell us about the

:00:49.:01:04.

moment when you first bladed to your wife, Chrissy. I sang it to her in

:01:05.:01:12.

bed, and she started crying, but she didn't hear the recorded version for

:01:13.:01:16.

a little while. But I was really happy with it, I thought she might

:01:17.:01:21.

like it. I sang it for her, and she loved it. Is that the barometer, if

:01:22.:01:26.

you get emotion? Making her cry is too much of a bar, most of my songs

:01:27.:01:32.

would never get put out! I imagine you have got a piano at home, she is

:01:33.:01:38.

constantly hearing things. Most of my writing happens in the studio, I

:01:39.:01:43.

go to work, I feel like it is a work day, collaborate with other writers,

:01:44.:01:47.

we come up with ideas. She doesn't like to hear them until they are a

:01:48.:01:50.

little more further along, because she wants to hear them close to

:01:51.:01:54.

done, because she hates when she falls in love with the original demo

:01:55.:01:58.

version and then we change it, she hates that. She's like, wait until

:01:59.:02:03.

you are closer to done to play it. You were on piano yesterday, very

:02:04.:02:08.

lucky travellers at London's St Pancras! Wonderful! How does that

:02:09.:02:15.

piano compared to others? It was a good one! I have played a range of

:02:16.:02:21.

pianos, we had an old one, beat up in the house when I was growing up,

:02:22.:02:26.

I played on a church piano. That was out of tune halve the time. So

:02:27.:02:33.

everything is a step up from them! Did you enjoy that? I loved it! I

:02:34.:02:38.

loved it. They were so many surprise fans there, just on their commute,

:02:39.:02:43.

some of them coming in from Europe, but some of them just going to work.

:02:44.:02:49.

It was really cool to just interact with the fans that were there. We

:02:50.:02:55.

know you have quite a full trophy cabinet, ten Grammys, Golden Globes,

:02:56.:02:58.

an Oscar, but have you ever held one of these? Is that a gold medal? I

:02:59.:03:03.

have held one before, but they are pretty awesome! From Atlanta, this

:03:04.:03:12.

is cool! 20 years old. There are quite a few back there, there are

:03:13.:03:19.

loads! I carried the torch when you guys at the London Olympics, in

:03:20.:03:25.

Edinburgh. Yeah, so I ran with it for a while. Sir Steve Redgrave and

:03:26.:03:28.

James Cracknell have seven of them between them, and we will find out

:03:29.:03:33.

later why they are going head to head. And between the three of us,

:03:34.:03:39.

we have seven as well! Mark Watson and Sophie Raworth, they are here,

:03:40.:03:42.

we will find out what they have been doing in a boat.

:03:43.:03:45.

You may remember when a couple of weeks ago

:03:46.:03:47.

Ed Sheeran was in and met up with a six-year-old superfan Jaden,

:03:48.:03:50.

who was distraught that he couldn't get a ticket to see Ed play

:03:51.:03:54.

a very special charity gig for the Teenage Cancer Trust.

:03:55.:03:56.

Some of the tickets were later offered for huge mark-ups

:03:57.:03:58.

on the website Viagogo, even though it had been specifically asked

:03:59.:04:01.

Matt Allright is keen to get some answers.

:04:02.:04:11.

It is the night Ed Sheeran fans have been waiting for. He is playing a

:04:12.:04:19.

very special date at the Royal Albert Hall to raise funds for the

:04:20.:04:23.

Teenage Cancer Trust. Tonight is a complete sell-out, and these guys

:04:24.:04:26.

are not just turning out to sea edge Sheron but support a charity that

:04:27.:04:30.

helps kids when they are going through the Tavistock times. -- to

:04:31.:04:34.

see Ed Sheeran. The money from ticket sales is going to a trust,

:04:35.:04:40.

but not just the charity is profiting from this gig. Earlier

:04:41.:04:43.

this month, we revealed how online ticket resale site Viagogo allowed

:04:44.:04:50.

people to Celtic and for thousands of pounds, money which will not

:04:51.:04:54.

benefit sick young people. -- to sell tickets. The trust asked

:04:55.:05:02.

company not to let it happen. They have put people on the door to stop

:05:03.:05:09.

people with an official tickets getting in. -- unofficial. Tickets

:05:10.:05:16.

are only valid if fans have valid photo IDs which matches the person

:05:17.:05:22.

who bought the tickets. How do you feel about the extra restrictions?

:05:23.:05:27.

It is a good idea, especially because it is for a good cause. It

:05:28.:05:31.

is a charity gig, you shouldn't be able to sell them. To buy them from

:05:32.:05:37.

a tout and be rejected at the door, I would be heartbroken. We didn't

:05:38.:05:41.

find anyone with a unofficial ticket to add been turned away, but touts

:05:42.:05:48.

were still around. We saw one ticket reseller helping his buyer get in.

:05:49.:05:52.

We have just seen the loophole in the system, the tout walks in with

:05:53.:05:57.

his own IT, and now that guy, who was paid over the odds for a ticket,

:05:58.:06:01.

money that will not make it to the Teenage Cancer Trust, he is about to

:06:02.:06:05.

watch Ed Sheeran. We flagged this to the staff, but as the seller could

:06:06.:06:10.

match the name on the ticket, security had to let them in. The

:06:11.:06:15.

trust's director of fund-raising accents the system isn't perfect. I

:06:16.:06:21.

don't think any system is foolproof, we have done everything that we can,

:06:22.:06:26.

the music should be about people who want to support Teenage Cancer

:06:27.:06:29.

Trust, which is what these shows are all about. Meanwhile, the Government

:06:30.:06:33.

is currently reviewing the whole of the secondary ticketing sales

:06:34.:06:37.

market. Last week, Viagogo gave evidence at the Commons select

:06:38.:06:43.

committee, but it refused to attend. They do not believe they have

:06:44.:06:46.

adequate representation in the UK in order to assist the committee with

:06:47.:06:53.

its inquiries. That is odd, because the American band started the

:06:54.:06:58.

company in the UK. We started the business in Europe, and it moved

:06:59.:07:03.

over to London... When he set up Viagogo, he was living at this smart

:07:04.:07:06.

Knightsbridge address, and although the edge quarters are in Switzerland

:07:07.:07:10.

and Ireland, they have an office registered in London. When Eric is

:07:11.:07:15.

next in the country, I want to see if he will come into the show for a

:07:16.:07:22.

chat. Look at this, some tickets for Eric Baker to appear on the sofa as

:07:23.:07:27.

a guest. The beauty of these is that they are free! So let's see if he is

:07:28.:07:35.

at the Viagogo office in London. Hello, looking for Viagogo. Are they

:07:36.:07:43.

no longer here? They have moved, they have still got the lease.

:07:44.:07:50.

People like me? Tickets. We don't have any information to give.

:07:51.:08:00.

Security will not let our cameras into the office, but they let me

:08:01.:08:05.

have a look around. The desks are there, there is still signage, and

:08:06.:08:09.

there is also a load of male sitting on the table. At the top of the pile

:08:10.:08:14.

was a letter from the House of Commons, unopened, to the executive

:08:15.:08:20.

or chief executive of Viagogo. Maybe it was the invitation to join them

:08:21.:08:23.

at deselecting ready. So it seems Eric Baker and Viagogo are doing

:08:24.:08:31.

their best to avoid the spotlight. I think the clearest way to get the

:08:32.:08:35.

message to him is this, the tickets are here, you are welcome on the One

:08:36.:08:40.

Show any time to explain the situation with Viagogo and the

:08:41.:08:44.

Teenage Cancer Trust. You don't even need photo IDs, we know what you

:08:45.:08:51.

look like. Matt is with the us now, why did the

:08:52.:08:57.

House of Commons summon Viagogo and those other websites? If you are a

:08:58.:09:01.

music fan, you probably know the answer, if you have used these

:09:02.:09:06.

sites, people are reporting that they have very disappointing

:09:07.:09:08.

experiences, the tickets can be faked from time to time, the prices,

:09:09.:09:13.

you look at the prices of some of the tickets, they seem to be

:09:14.:09:16.

exorbitant, and sometimes people have booked through and can only

:09:17.:09:21.

work out what the prices when it is in front of them. All sorts of

:09:22.:09:24.

reasons why the House of Commons looked at this and thought it needed

:09:25.:09:28.

regulation. The House of Lords have been looking at it at well, what

:09:29.:09:32.

have they been discussing? In the last couple of days? They have

:09:33.:09:36.

brought in a couple of interesting amendments to strengthen consumer

:09:37.:09:39.

law to make sure that if there are restrictions on the tickets, things

:09:40.:09:43.

like partial viewing, those sorts of things, anything that might affect

:09:44.:09:48.

your decision to buy those tickets, that should be there upfront, terms

:09:49.:09:52.

and conditions, restrictions should be upfront. But they are also

:09:53.:09:57.

looking to outlaw software which can get around the restrictions, to be

:09:58.:10:04.

able to harvest these tickets in hundreds or thousands and then sell

:10:05.:10:09.

them on. How successful they can be to stop people using those is a

:10:10.:10:12.

different matter, but they are going to try to make it against the law.

:10:13.:10:17.

For you, your European tour tickets are going on sale tomorrow, this

:10:18.:10:24.

software is going to harvest them. Yeah, and we will get feedback on

:10:25.:10:28.

social media when fans asking, why are you charging $1000? We are not

:10:29.:10:35.

charging that amount, these resale sites are judging this exorbitant

:10:36.:10:39.

amount. We want our fans to pay a fair market price for the show, but

:10:40.:10:45.

we don't want these bots coming in, snatching up all the tickets, making

:10:46.:10:48.

them more scarce and then selling them to the highest bidder,

:10:49.:10:52.

capturing all the value, making it hard for people with regular incomes

:10:53.:10:57.

to come and see the show. There are some artists who are trying to sort

:10:58.:11:06.

it out. We try, it is hard. Talk to Iron Maiden, they say they have got

:11:07.:11:11.

rid of 90% of it. It is hard, there are electronic ways of stopping it

:11:12.:11:14.

from happening, but it is a challenge. Thank you for coming in,

:11:15.:11:21.

Matt. John, not only are you a talented songwriter, but an

:11:22.:11:25.

executive producer now, you can add La La Land to your long list of

:11:26.:11:32.

credits, let's see you in action. # I don't know what your name is

:11:33.:11:39.

# But I like it let's I don't know what to do

:11:40.:11:46.

# But I want to do it with you... # I enjoyed and too, it was fun.

:11:47.:11:55.

Oh! A lot of fans of La La Land in the house, did you realise when you

:11:56.:11:59.

were working on it that it was so special? Because, I mean, it has

:12:00.:12:04.

been... The positivity around it has been just bonkers. Well, when we

:12:05.:12:08.

were executive producing projects, you never know for sure that

:12:09.:12:12.

everything is going to line up perfectly, but it is great when you

:12:13.:12:21.

have a great director, which Damien is, Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone are

:12:22.:12:25.

fantastic, there was a great script, and you just hope you execute it in

:12:26.:12:29.

the right way, and personally, as an actor, I hadn't done a lot about

:12:30.:12:33.

before, it was my first major speaking role, so I took a lot of

:12:34.:12:37.

coaching, I wanted to make sure I was prepared, and I did all of that,

:12:38.:12:41.

and I felt really comfortable, belt really good, like I was surrounded

:12:42.:12:45.

by a great team. I felt great about it, but you never know how it is

:12:46.:12:52.

going to turn out, so many moving parts and so many people involved,

:12:53.:12:54.

but it really worked, it connected with a lot of people. And it has had

:12:55.:12:59.

that added publicity as well after the Oscars. Yeah! That was quite an

:13:00.:13:05.

ending! How did you put that into words? Well, the moment was crazy,

:13:06.:13:09.

because first of all you are thrilled, but there was that weird

:13:10.:13:13.

moment when Warren Beatty hesitated, and then Faye Dunaway hesitated, and

:13:14.:13:18.

it was all kind of a little bit weird, but then they said our name,

:13:19.:13:23.

so everything was good! We go up on stage, so excited, then you see a

:13:24.:13:28.

guy with a headset walking around, and you are like, something is

:13:29.:13:33.

wrong... I thought maybe they were walking us off the show, saying we

:13:34.:13:37.

were taking too long to accept the award. But no, it wasn't our award

:13:38.:13:44.

to win! There has got to be a song in there! By the time I figured out

:13:45.:13:47.

what was going on, it went from joy to confusion to, eventually, kind of

:13:48.:13:54.

just laughing at it, it was pretty absurd. If you couldn't laugh at it,

:13:55.:14:00.

then... You would cry! Yeah, channel it into your next album. This album

:14:01.:14:06.

has, the title, Darkness And Light, it is a very personal album. Sure! I

:14:07.:14:11.

was writing it as my wife was pregnant and we were about to have

:14:12.:14:16.

our first child, so some of that was in my mind, this is the first album

:14:17.:14:20.

I have written since I got married, so those emotions and those feelings

:14:21.:14:27.

were all in the album. Is it harder to put those feelings into music

:14:28.:14:31.

when you want to be so protective about your family? No - because I

:14:32.:14:36.

feel like, as an artist, you want to be honest when you are writing, you

:14:37.:14:45.

want to communicate real emotion, and feeling those real emotions and

:14:46.:14:48.

having those real situations to write about, I think that makes it

:14:49.:14:52.

easier to write. And that has always been aching for you, that sense of

:14:53.:14:56.

duty as an artist to reflect emotion. I want to write about that

:14:57.:15:03.

and what is happening in the world too, and I think as long as we are

:15:04.:15:06.

being honest, our fans will connect with what we are doing. Nina Simone

:15:07.:15:14.

has been a big inspiration. Yeah, we named our daughter Luna Simone, she

:15:15.:15:17.

is an artist I have always looked up to, an artist needs to reflect the

:15:18.:15:23.

time in which they live, that is a quote. I loved her voice, piano

:15:24.:15:28.

playing, her spirit of boldness, of not being categorised, not being

:15:29.:15:33.

able to be told to sit down and shut up. She spoke truth, she sang truth,

:15:34.:15:38.

and she was an inspiration for all creative people, I think.

:15:39.:15:44.

John's tour, Darkness And Light, kicks off in Glasgow, tickets go on

:15:45.:15:48.

sale tomorrow. John has come to Europe at a very

:15:49.:15:51.

interesting time in our history, with the UK leaving

:15:52.:15:56.

the European Union. As the process of arguing over

:15:57.:15:58.

every tiny detail begins, we asked three couples who've been

:15:59.:15:59.

through their own separation to The British people have spoken, and

:16:00.:16:15.

the answer is we are out. The first year of the marriage was perfect, we

:16:16.:16:20.

had two cats, we played tennis. It started it delicately, and then our

:16:21.:16:25.

busy lifestyles took over. This is an historic moment for which there

:16:26.:16:30.

can be no turning back. When our youngest was four, Tim met someone

:16:31.:16:36.

else, and then we split up. Europe is ready to start the divorce

:16:37.:16:42.

process. We didn't have any problems in our marriage. We just stopped.

:16:43.:16:52.

Well, one of us stopped. We must do everything we can to make the

:16:53.:16:54.

process of divorce the least painful. You go through pain, rage,

:16:55.:17:00.

grief, murderous intent, you want to kill the person, and then you have a

:17:01.:17:04.

point at which you just have to decide you are going to be very

:17:05.:17:07.

practical for the future relationship you are going to have.

:17:08.:17:12.

The emotional turmoil was that everybody. We handle our own

:17:13.:17:16.

divorce, and cried our hearts out, because we just couldn't understand

:17:17.:17:21.

that life just got so busy that... We forgot what was important.

:17:22.:17:26.

TRANSLATION: Anyone who wants to leave this family can't expect to

:17:27.:17:30.

leave their responsibility was keeping all their privileges. Then

:17:31.:17:35.

the negotiations about who will keep the cats, who will get the CDs. It

:17:36.:17:41.

was important to retain a friendship, because Tim is the

:17:42.:17:45.

father of the children. It is really important that both people come out

:17:46.:17:49.

of it sensing fairness, because that is going to be your relationship for

:17:50.:17:56.

the next 20, 30, 40 years. I also want to be clear, here today and

:17:57.:17:59.

across Europe in the weeks ahead, that we are not walking away from

:18:00.:18:04.

our European friends. It was full of anguish and grief, all of those

:18:05.:18:08.

things that come with a break-up, of course. But you have to keep

:18:09.:18:13.

channels open, and it helped in both of our situation is that we were not

:18:14.:18:17.

going to other partners. There was a time even at the beginning when I

:18:18.:18:21.

felt that my friendship with Tim were so important that I would still

:18:22.:18:25.

be his friend no matter what. Even though we were going off and doing

:18:26.:18:29.

our own things, we were always on the phone together, always friends,

:18:30.:18:32.

and we would talk to each other about our new partners, that kind of

:18:33.:18:37.

which sounds bizarre, but they would never quite match up to each other.

:18:38.:18:41.

Different guys I have been very into, Tim has advised me on

:18:42.:18:46.

different stuff. I don't have any partner. I tried not to be a monk,

:18:47.:18:52.

but age has taken its toll. I want the deal to reflect the kind of

:18:53.:18:56.

mature, corporative relationship that close friends and allies

:18:57.:19:02.

enjoyed. It is important inside a break-up to remember what it was

:19:03.:19:04.

that attracted you to the other person in the first place and to

:19:05.:19:08.

hang onto those values and then to continue to use them and develop

:19:09.:19:13.

them. You can't go back. You have to live with the choices you have made.

:19:14.:19:17.

However painful they were forever body. Happiness and love is more

:19:18.:19:22.

important than anything else in the world. We just realise that anyone

:19:23.:19:26.

else that we met couldn't that up, really, so we made a decision. To

:19:27.:19:33.

get back together again! We married about four years ago, blissfully

:19:34.:19:36.

happy. Thank you to all of the Couples,

:19:37.:19:43.

lovely that Julie and Martin are back together, but that's not a

:19:44.:19:46.

reflection of what we think will with Brexit. My parents got divorced

:19:47.:19:51.

and got back together. But then they got divorced again! Well, they gave

:19:52.:19:57.

it a good shot. We are not saying that that is a good reflect on,

:19:58.:20:03.

either. Who is most likely to win an argument in your house? Chrissy, of

:20:04.:20:10.

course! Apparently, she is burning down the house while you are away.

:20:11.:20:16.

Apparently my mother-in-law was making sausages and they started a

:20:17.:20:20.

fire, but we have a lot of sting wishes of the house. Everyone is

:20:21.:20:27.

still alive, and the house is still intact. -- a lot of extinguishers.

:20:28.:20:34.

People will find out who is in charge!

:20:35.:20:36.

In a moment, we'll be catching up with Sir Steve, James,

:20:37.:20:39.

Mark and Sophie, who have taken part in the first ever UK Cancer Reseach

:20:40.:20:42.

That's after JJ Chalmers has shown us how a hidden masterpiece

:20:43.:20:54.

Throughout its history, the British military has had to face a hard

:20:55.:21:03.

truth. With war comes casualties. I should know. In 2011 while serving

:21:04.:21:08.

as a Royal Marine in Afghanistan, a roadside bomb blew away part of my

:21:09.:21:12.

hand, broke my neck and changed my world forever. The care I received

:21:13.:21:16.

in hospital not only saved my life, it allowed me to continue living it

:21:17.:21:21.

to the full. 300 years ago, things would have been different, and I

:21:22.:21:26.

probably would have ended up here. Known today as the Old Royal Naval

:21:27.:21:30.

College, this imposing building on the banks of the River Thames in

:21:31.:21:34.

Greenwich was originally built to care for Britain's injured and

:21:35.:21:38.

ageing sailors. And at its heart is a painting of monumental importance,

:21:39.:21:42.

and overlooked masterpiece which is now being brought back to life. It

:21:43.:21:48.

is just spectacular. More than I expected. Every single inch is

:21:49.:21:54.

covered in artwork that is just... It is epic. Spanning over 4000

:21:55.:22:02.

square metres, this colossal mural is the largest painted interior in

:22:03.:22:07.

Britain, and took nearly two decades to complete. Dr Matthews is the

:22:08.:22:13.

creator studying -- jury to studying what has been called Britain's

:22:14.:22:20.

Sistine Chapel. Who created this? He was a fascinating figure, Sir James

:22:21.:22:23.

Thornhill, an ambitious young artist from Dorset, and he was chosen to

:22:24.:22:29.

take this extraordinary mural over more glamorous Italian and French

:22:30.:22:31.

decorative painters. How important is this please? It is hugely

:22:32.:22:37.

important. It is a snapshot of our national history at the beginning of

:22:38.:22:41.

the 18th century. We are at war with the French, and you even have the

:22:42.:22:48.

new Protestant monarchs, William and Mary. Nowadays we are quite reserved

:22:49.:22:56.

in Britain, but this is so butch. There is nothing subtle about it at

:22:57.:23:00.

all. Work started on the painting in 1708, but 300 years of direct

:23:01.:23:03.

sunlight and pollution have taken their toll. Now an ?8.5 million

:23:04.:23:09.

renovation is hoping to restore this masterpiece to its former glory. The

:23:10.:23:13.

most challenging phase focuses on the 500 square metres ceiling. A

:23:14.:23:18.

viewing platform has been erected to allow access, and The One Show has

:23:19.:23:24.

been given an opportunity to see it up close. Look at this! It is the

:23:25.:23:30.

latest in a long line of restoration attempts, the most recent of which

:23:31.:23:36.

was captured by the BBC in 1958. It is extremely hard and difficult

:23:37.:23:40.

work. When it is fully restored, it will be splendid. Six decades later,

:23:41.:23:44.

a new team of conservatives is trying to turn back the clock. So

:23:45.:23:48.

what is it that you are trying to do now? We are happy to deal with the

:23:49.:23:53.

previous 60 years of dust and grime that has been accumulating. The key

:23:54.:23:58.

thing is to remove the dirt, but without in any way affecting the

:23:59.:24:04.

underlying original painting. This is a USB microscope which gives us

:24:05.:24:08.

around 100 times magnification, which is wonderful for

:24:09.:24:12.

characterising some of the surface quality. You can really see the

:24:13.:24:19.

damage in the cracks. Exactly. It picks up the dust and dirt in

:24:20.:24:22.

microscopic detail, but it also shows the natural ageing of this

:24:23.:24:31.

300-year-old painting. And just like in the 1950s, the laborious process

:24:32.:24:36.

of restoration is mainly done by hand. This is some of your team at

:24:37.:24:40.

work. Yes, this is Francesca and Eliza, doing some very wonderful

:24:41.:24:48.

water cleaning. Just water. And they are withdrawing a considerable

:24:49.:24:51.

amount of dirt on their swabs. This is a wonderful opportunity to invite

:24:52.:24:55.

the public to come and see conservation in action, for the

:24:56.:24:59.

first time. We have a lift to allow wheelchair access up onto the deck,

:25:00.:25:04.

so everybody can enjoy this work of art. As a former member of the Armed

:25:05.:25:07.

Forces, particularly the senior service, the Navy, and just being

:25:08.:25:11.

British, coming it gives me an enormous sense of right, but what is

:25:12.:25:15.

really special is that everybody can get a chance to come face-to-face

:25:16.:25:18.

with one of the nation's greatest artworks.

:25:19.:25:22.

We are joined by two sporting legends and their proteges -

:25:28.:25:31.

Sir Steve Redgrave, James Cracknell, Mark Watson and Sophie Raworth.

:25:32.:25:36.

Sophie, what have you been doing with this lot?

:25:37.:25:45.

We were asked to take part in the first celebrity boat race in the

:25:46.:25:54.

name of Cancer research, and we did one section of the boat race, so we

:25:55.:25:57.

literally did Putney to Hammersmith Bridge, a boat of eight, five

:25:58.:26:03.

complete novices, me, Gethin Jones, Vernon Kay and the like, and there

:26:04.:26:08.

we are. We are wearing the pink outfits. We had a couple of training

:26:09.:26:13.

sessions, that was it, and then straight in. And you were capped in,

:26:14.:26:19.

Sophie? I didn't realise I was captain until I read it in the

:26:20.:26:23.

newspaper later! We had Andrew Triggs-Hodge in the boat, and

:26:24.:26:31.

Olympian who had just won in Rio, so I was captain in name only. And

:26:32.:26:38.

James Comey how did she get an? It was very much like rowing with

:26:39.:26:45.

Steve, actually! And then she legged it to go and read the news. So

advice on how your team That is one way of putting it. Five

:26:52.:27:02.

complete novices, and a lot of moving parts, the tide, the

:27:03.:27:05.

currents, all the boat getting lined up in the first place, I realised if

:27:06.:27:09.

you jump the start, they were not going to call you back, so I said,

:27:10.:27:18.

just start, and they won't call you back, don't stop! Let's turn to

:27:19.:27:23.

Steve. Our Michelle and Dan Snow

:27:24.:27:24.

were on your team. He rowed the Boat Race for real

:27:25.:27:27.

as a student, of course, The whole idea was to have one

:27:28.:27:37.

session, and then there would be a session before the race and then the

:27:38.:27:43.

race on the same day. But rowing is all about practice, and to get

:27:44.:27:48.

people from complete novices into a race situation is almost impossible.

:27:49.:27:52.

I have been coaching on and off for 40 years, and I have never met

:27:53.:28:00.

anybody like mark before. That is sort of what you dream about Steve

:28:01.:28:05.

Redgrave staying about you. Did you have an issue with the oar? I just

:28:06.:28:14.

had trouble rowing the boat! It's what we call catching a crab in the

:28:15.:28:19.

game, so I managed to bruise a rib quite badly before we've got on the

:28:20.:28:22.

boat, and it went downhill from there. The first session was a

:28:23.:28:26.

matter of saying, I can't row, and I thought I would be a K because there

:28:27.:28:29.

were strong rowers in the team, but they said the boat can only go at

:28:30.:28:33.

the speed of the weakest rower, and another a lot of thinking to do! I

:28:34.:28:38.

had to come in for extra sessions. Is speeded up quite considerably

:28:39.:28:39.

now. We'll have to wait until Sunday

:28:40.:28:42.

to find out which team won, so we're going to have a race
