30/06/2016 The One Show

Hello, and welcome to the One Show with Alex Jones.

After Monday's football result, I bet you thought it would be

a while before you'd hear the words Class and Rooney

Well, hang on, because our guests tonight are a musical

presenter who was once in a chart topping band,

and an actress who, well, loved that chart topping band.

Please welcome Myleene Klass and Sharon Rooney!

APPLAUSE Very good. See, it works. We will

pick up on that point of being a big fan of Hear'Say. I was a big fan. I

came to every single concert, every single thing that you played in

Glasgow. No way! ? I had every banner and poster. You only just

tell me this now. We heard while you were packing the other day you found

a Kym Marsh doll is that right? There it is. It is quite

unbelievable. Do you remember these Myleene? I can remember them, there

was three because we had one you could press the back and it would

sing. Not unlike the real Hear'Say. I love the bit on the back, is your

hero still Ariel from The Little Mermaid Sure. We will talk to

Myleene later on about her new BBC series which celebrates 70 years

since the foundation of the NHS and the wonderful people who have worked

within it. Some of which are with us tonight in the audience. Good

evening. It is lovely to you with us. If any of your family worked for

the NHS over the years we would like to celebrate them, so e-mail a photo

of them at work and we will show them later. It doesn't have to be a

recent one. This time last week the polling stations were still open.

Are we still talking about this? It is just a week and friends and

family were arguing among themselves about the benefits of staying in or

leaving. Believe it or not some families are still arguing as Kevin

has found out. The in or out campaign divided. Not

just the political parties but also families across the land. And for

many, feelings are still running high. I am off to meet the Traffords

who have agreed to not only share how they feel but share it in the

confines of my car, so if tempers fray, there is no getting away.

Meet head of the household dad Andy, a former teacher, he is now retired

and he backed the Leave campaign. Mum Pat also voted for Brexit, but

now has regrets. 31-year-old son Nick is a scientist, who works in

Bolt private and NHS hospitals, in London and voted to stay in Europe.

-- both. He despairs at his parents. I have got rid of the anger and the

disgust, you know, over the last five days it has been, they have

gone. A lot of your anger and disgust was aimed at me. I voted to

stop Britain being governed by the bureaucrats. If we have come to a

stage where we can't put our cross in a certain box, for fear of what

other people will think of us, then we have lost far more than we will

lose from coming out of the EU. Tell us your initial thoughts when

the result come in I got a text from Nick which what really upset me more

than anything, he said I am disgusted to be British. It was a

bad day. It felt like a bad dream. My thoughts were of disgust, of

surprise, of animosity, as well. I was quite pleased. I wasn't jubilant

because I knew the future, there is going to be some problems. Nick

fears one of the problems will be the break up of the United Kingdom.

In Scotland, they will seek independence from the UK, and that

worries me. I think if they do they will struggle. But the Out vote has

dad Andy brimming with optimism for Britain's future. We can invest a

lot of money in our farmer, if we stop importing all this food from

abroad we don't need this extra runway at Heathrow. I do think that

that is ridiculous. Sorry mum, I don't mean to butt in but that

runway, do you know how many jobs that will create? Do you know how

many jobs? Don't sigh! There is going to be so many people who

benefit from it. There is clearly big differences. Big differences. We

need to knuckle down and work as a country, great, Great Britain. Has

it had any effect on your relationship as a family? That think

is what has been depressing me over the past few days. I hope I really

hope that we can move forward from this. The ones who won, in inverted

commas shouldn't be crowing about it, because there are going to be

difficulties ahead, and the ones who haven't won should not be targeting

us, and talking about us as if we are old, official, and uneducated.

And I want my, sorry I can't do this. Don't worry Pat. We have to

pout differences aside and unify and do what the rest of Europe has done

by coming together, that is what we need to do, but internally. I am

still pleased we are out of it and we have to work together, all the

country has got to work together, and families as got to get back

together. After an hour in the hotseats with agree this journey has

gone the distance and while the votes driven them in different

direction, in the end family is still family.

Well since filming, Nick has been in touch to tell us that he and his his

mum and dad, they found that car journey really really helpful, so

their advice to all the families that are Woolwiching who feel like

they are split down the middle. Get together, flash it out, do it at

home, have a designated driver if you are going to. It is One Show

therapy. Kevin is available to drive anybody who wants a go. All next

week five well-known faces will be going inside the NHS as it

celebrated 70 year, Myleene you were one of those people lucky enough to

be part of this. You really wanted to do it because you had a personal

connection, but how does the series reflect then the NHS, on 70 years?

They have a wide range of people from example there is myself and

Lucy Alexander and Miriam mar goals and all have different experiences

from carers through to my own experience of having a mum who was a

nurse, and as they say, once a nurse always a nurse. It never leaves you.

I hadn't thought about what the, the effects of my mum being a nurse

would directly have on me, until I think, you know when I became a mum

myself and I would be sending my schools to -- kids to school even if

they were saying my arm is falling off. It is a different attitude that

nurses have, it is like that morgue humour and it is something I think

is, it becomes like your own backbone. And you took your mum

back. I took my mum back. What was her experience going back? Think it

was hugely emotional for her, she got the call in the 60s when they

were looking for people to come from the West Indies and typhoons when

they needed extra help, staff, it was a very brave move. She didn't

know she would be returning back to the country she came from, she knew

she wanted to help, when you here experiences now, you can't imagine

what it must have been like, but she said to be looking after patients

who weren't necessarily sure if she would be able to speak English, she

was an English teacher in the Philippines. It is think, you just

think of your mum, as your mum. But then when you think of her in her

own situation, and what challenges that she had to face, and I felt so

immensely proud. Well you also get your scrubs on. I did. To help out

on the wards of Belfast Royal Victoria Hospital. Let us have a

look. I mean, stuff of dreams. Stuff of dreams all right. Thank you

my darling. You are very welcome Sir.

I mean that looks amazing. Da-da-da. Stick to the piano. Did

you hear that? Stick to the piano. What did you learn, what did you

take away from your day at the Royal Victoria Hospital, because you saw

all sorts of department, met lots of different people. Vens It was a

sensory overload. You watch dramas and when we looking over the 70

years celebrating the NHS, our closest reference is the Carry On

films you think of matron and the huge... When I think back to what

else it could be like, we don't necessarily no know and things have

really changed. It is fantastic to see, one thing that never changes I

think, is the humour the nurses have. It is definitely a case that

the doctors know the nurses run the school if you like, and that is

brilliant to see. There is a lot going on over there, nodding. You

run the school, I saw that. For me it is different senses I didn't

necessarily, didn't imagine, so I remember walking down into theatre,

stop eating your dinner, and there is this weird smell, it smelled like

feet, and they just told me they were suturing and lasering skin, I

think my gosh, you perks that all the way through the day, you are

looking after people at their best and worst, and then you go home, and

you have your normal day, you know, your family life, the way they flip

in between, flip-flop in between that, it is incredible. Also, all

the nurse, from my mum's time all the way through to now hate the

shoes they have to wear, but... Your mum... Again, look at the rubber

shoes that are out there now, the reason they wear them is so they can

wipe the blood, sweat and tears off them. They deal with humanity at its

best and worst. They are practical. Matron, Medicine And Me: 70 Years Of

The NHS begins on Monday morning, it is on at 9.15 on BBC One. As we

mentioned yesterday, remembrance vens for the centenary of the Battle

of the Somme start this evening. We will soon be talking to Dan Snow in

France, at a place which is central to the commemorations. Before we do,

here is how a silent film of the battle, which became one of the most

watched films in British history has finally been given a fitting

soundtrack. At the Imperial War Museum North in

Salford, a school orchestra has arrived.

They have come to this ultra modern location to accompany a silent movie

shot 100 years ago. The film they are about to accompany

documents one of the bloodiest episodes of the 20th century.

Entitled the battle of the some, it was made in 1916, during World War

I, at the trenches where more than a million men were slaughtered.

The museum's historian Matt Lee has researched the film. This is one of

the most famous scenes in the film. This is where two soldiers bringing

a wounded comrade, brought in from no-man's land. In the next sequence

you see him being carried on a man's shoulder towards the camera. What is

powerful about this scene is the man himself died 30 minutes after being

brought into the trenches. It is very graphic. That is what I think

is special about the film. It was the first film to bring home, you

know, the barbarism and inhumanty of war. The British soldiers are trying

to give the dead, as dignified a burial as they can. As a parent, if

you are sitting there watching this, you are thinking, that could be my

son. That must be incredibly frightening and sobering for those

people watching It could have been. Some of the images you see in this

film you wouldn't see on news broadcasts today. When it was

released, half the population of Britain flocked to see what life on

the front line was like. Now, to commemorate the battle

centenary the film is being screened 100 times over the next year, but

this time, with a soundtrack by live orchestras. Mind-blowing that people

are fighting in the Battle of the Somme, I could have been there. The

score was written by film composer Laura Rossy.

I watched the film, and just realised what enormous

responsibility I had to write music for appropriately fits these image,

so I didn't want to overdo the emotion, I just wanted to write

something sensitive, really I wanted to let the images speak for

themselves. You visited the Somme. That is right migrate uncle was a

stretcher bearer in the First World War, and it turned out he was actual

a -- attached to the 29th division in 1916. It is possibly he could be

in the film. He survived the war so he died when I was about ten and

this is his diary. Colonel and captain wounded. Casualties the and

ambulance about 15. German machine guns waiting for them. Terrible

sights, dead and wounded galore. It says a lot but it hides an awful

lot. Yeah, it did. I wenter of the the battlefields, took his diaries

with me and tried to retrace his footsteps. It made the pictures

become very real. And here is Laura's soundtrack. Performed by the

orchestra from Cheetham School of Music in Manchester.

It is an incredibly powerful combination, the live nature of the

music, brings to life, doesn't it, those kind of ghostly

black-and-white images. Yes, that is right. This footage we with are

watching now, this is probably for me the most emotional part. I want

the music to draw you into this where we see the men smile and wave

at the cameras you look into their face, and just see them as normal.

Normal men. Because we know what lies ahead for them, and in a sense

they don't, do they. It was really moving to see those

Young's kids playing how they play. It really brings out about the war.

It felt quite solemn and quite steep. Watching this film, you

realise what a tragedy the battle of the Somme was, for both sides.

Finding a way to commemorate loss of life on this scale isn't easy. But I

cannot think of a better way than with such powerful music.

APPLAUSE And you can see live performances

of Somme 100 for yourself. There's more information

on our website. Well Dan Snow is live in France

at a place that holds a very important role in remembering those

who didn't come home. Dan - you're in a very

personal place aren't you? Probably the most important place in

the world for remembering the fallen from Britain's history. This is the

Thiepval monument to the fallen. It is the biggest Commonwealth War

Memorial in the world. On it are tens of thousands of names of the

young men. They died in this region during World War I. The vast

majority of them died during the Battle of this on which started 100

years ago tomorrow. If I had been standing here 100 years ago, I am in

where the German positions where, machine guns and trenches beneath my

feet now. It was 10:30am and this was a wasteland. The British had

tacked up this hill, they were the Salford pals, friends who had joined

up from Salford in Lancashire. There was a battalion from Newcastle and

among them, Newcastle football players. They were torn to shreds

right here 100 years ago tomorrow morning bison machine guns who have

survived the British bombardment. As a result of slaughter like this up

and down the front line, it was the single, bloodiest day in British

history. In the whole of the battle, over 1 million British Commonwealth

and French soldiers, killed, wounded and captured. There will be a vigil

here tonight. In the UK, the Queen and Prince Philip will be at a vigil

in Westminster Abbey around the grave of the unknown soldier. Those

will be mirrored across the UK, Edinburgh Castle, Cardiff, lots of

ranches from the Royal British Legion are encouraging people to

mark this important occasion. The vigil will end up 7:28am with a

two-minute silence. When the guns stopped firing, the whistles were

blown and the British infantry attack. There is a concert in Heaton

Park. International leaders gathering here, up and down the

United Kingdom to mark was the biggest and bloodiest battle in

British history. And you can see the commemorations

tonight on BBC Two This is Alice's mum in the top

right. Her and her colleagues are working hard on Christmas Day. Now,

Sharon lets get on to your new comedy drama. Set in Sheffield in

the 80s. In a nutshell it is about women deciding to spice up their

lives. Let's have a look. This is my residence. Is there a problem? We

had a report this house was being used as a house of... Disrepute. I

beg your pardon. This is ridiculous. Probably my mother. All above board,

officer, I am the sales wrap. What are you selling? Something a bit

together and your truncheon. I am selling nightwear, marital aids.

Which as I understand it, isn't against the law. No, but maybe it

should be. You played Dawn who is one of these four women who are

spicing up their lives. How do they interact with each other, they are

racy underwear parties? Four women who would never normally socialise

together. They would never normally be in each other's lives. I played

the hairdresser of Penelope's character. And Stephanie, played by

Sophie is hosting one of these parties and I get invited. That is

how it begins. Your character, Dawn, she seems quite grassy because the

first scene she is kissing the butcher's assistant. But as the

series develops, you learn there is more to her character. When I get

the first episode I thought, she is loud and she is in your face. I

thought I know who you are and what you like. Basically just fun. When

you dig a little deeper, she has a difficult and upsetting home life.

So much going on, that she keeps totally separate from the person she

lets everybody see. It was an interesting character to play. This

is a family show, let's talk about the research you did. You did meet

quite a lot of people, Jacqueline Gold, who really is the founder of

these parties? It was interesting to meet her anti-meat two women who

were doing these parties in the 80s. I learned so much from them because

I thought, I know what they are, everyone knows what they are. But

for these women at that time they were like changing. They were

empowering, they had their own business, in charge of their own

finances, making money. Sometimes bringing in more money than their

partners and they could afford to do things they couldn't do before. It

was huge. I guess I was a little bit, kind of... Where they are big

deal, but they were. The 80s doesn't seem that long ago, but it was like

a different world. When you are on set and you have these props, shall

we say. Do you get to take them home? It is a bit of an icebreaker.

I don't think I have laughed as much or misbehaved as much onset. When

you get all of these women together, you have these things. You are

having fun, having a laugh. It made me want to go to one of these

parties and have fun. You should go. How many in our audience have been

to one of these parties? There is a few! It is called Brief Encounters.

It starts on ITV on Monday night at nine o'clock. If you are lucky to go

on safari in Africa, you will know about the Big Five, the lion, the

African elephant, the Leopard, the rhinoceros. The new Scotland had its

own Big Five. It is just after 6am on the Midsummer's day and I am in

this stunning location of the Nevis on the West Coast of Scotland. I

have been set a challenge to see all of Scotland's Big Five. The red

spiral, the seal, after, read here and golden eagle, in just 16 hours.

It really is a race against the clock. I will need some help, so I

have drafted in Iain Macleod, who has 27 years experience watching

wildlife. You take tourists out on a regular basis, how often do you

manage to see all of them in one day? It is very rare. Probably about

5% maximum. So the odds are against us. First on our list is the golden

eagle. Only one word for this scenery and it is majestic. Classic,

Eagle country. We are looking for the huge plank with essentially,

fingers on the end. By nine o'clock, there was no sign of the golden

eagle, so we put it on hold to try again later. Next is the less

elusive, and we are heading to a popular feeding station in the

forest. I can see a tail. We have one. They are such beautiful,

engaging creatures. There is a single tooth in the top jaw and they

used to spin the nuts. Soon after, we spot the next animal on our list.

We have another of the Big Five. Don't get too excited, it is the

deer up the top. I can see five or six. They look like stags. They lose

their antlers in April and they regrow for the rotting in October.

At the moment they are called Velvet. As we crossed on the ferry,

Ian is optimistic we will see harbour seals at the next location.

The good news is, we have got a harbour seal. They look like King

Charles spaniel faces. A lot of folk compare them to Labradors. It is the

third of our Big Five. Things are looking up. Animal number four is

the otter. About 25% of our trips, we find otters. As we spend the next

three hours looking for them to no avail, those odds diminish. We had

to hide for one large dished attempt. It is not. On the end of

the island. Yes! You have done it. It is distant, but great behaviour.

Almost diving through the air. Four out of five. With only two hours

left, we still have defined the golden eagle. I had offshore in the

hope of a sighting. What are our chances? Conditions are not

brilliant, but you never know when an eagle will just pop up. No golden

eagle is, but as the weather closes in, there is a surprise sighting. He

has just pointed out a white tailed eagle, sitting in the tree over

there. OK, I know it is not a golden eagle, not one of the Big Five, but

it should be. We are rewarded with one final wildlife spectacle. That

young stag has just crossed about 600, 700 metres of open water. On

his time on the loch, Jim has only ever seen this behaviour once

before. Every time I come to Scotland, I am not just blown away

by the variety of the species, but also the amazing scenery. Look at

that. We want to say a big thank you to

all of the people who have been sending in your NHS hero photos. I

will start with this, Maureen and her friend Eleanor in 1975 working

on the children's award at Blackpool hospital. Mori wants to meet up with

Eleanor if possible. Linda, who has been a midwife in Bath. This photo

sums up how wonderful job. Look at the baby. This is Hannah's granny

Maureen, aged 18 as a student nurse in 1914. She worked there for over

30 years. This is Andy's mum Pat in 1953.

'Brief Encounters' is on Monday night at 9:00pm on ITV, and 'Matron,

Medicine And Me:70 Years Of The NHS' starts on Monday morning at 9.15pm
