30/06/2017 The One Show

Now we need to give the guests their one-minute warning. But it's John

McEnroe. He could fly off the handle. He is a pussycat these days,

I will do it. Hi. One minute before your on-air. Thank you, I appreciate

that. Piece of cake. I will do Sue. OK. What?! You're on in a minute.

You cannot be serious! Hello and welcome to The One Show

with Alex Jones. And my doubles partner for the evening, Sally

Phillips! Tonight, we are talking tennis and we are joined by the

undisputed queen of Wimbledon. 15-0, serving. Stays on the baseline. Do

you have your sights set on anything in the future? Wimbledon, of course.

Still as cute as ever, it is Sue Barker! Where did you find that? It

is lovely. Our other guest is another legend who has made

headlines this week with controversial comments on women's

tennis. So this could be interesting. New balls, please. Come

on in, John McEnroe! All women, hey? I wish I had a fuzzy

ball to get you to sign. I was going to suggest a game of mixed doubles,

but you are rather outnumbered. Yes. Some sort of Canadian mixed doubles?

You two are not the only people with a strong connection to Wimbledon,

because as it happens, our very own Sally Phillips also has deep rooted

relationships with Wimbledon. Have a look at this. You're not the only

people to have one white on Centre Court. I got married there. My dad

used to be a player as well, and he is a member of the all England. We

have another photo of Sally's dad at the world box with the Queen. So you

ask your dad are some questions? I said, I am nervous, I am presenting

The One Show with Sue Barker and John McEnroe, what should I ask John

McEnroe? And he gave me a list of technical questions, none of which I

understood apart from this. Chairman asked very difficult questions,

write? Especially to John McEnroe. Don't ahead. There may be an edge to

this. You said recently that Serena Williams would be ranked around 700

on the men's tour. You later said that you today at 58 would be

wrapped around 1200. So are we to understand that were you to play her

in a second battle of the sexes, you would expect to lose? Would I admit

that even if that was true, on a show like this? Give me a drink. I

have six kids, four of whom are girls and none of my girls think I

can beat Serena Williams. Which is depressing. But there are some guys

out there. Believe it or not, some think I would at least have a chance

to beat her, OK? Also, this would be the right time to play her. She is

six months pregnant. That is a great idea. I don't understand why women's

tennis gets this criticism. I saying how far down the rankings she would

be, instead of celebrating her success... We don't ask these things

about Jessica Ennis. Why do they only do that in tennis? That would

be my first question. Secondly... Just out of curiosity, Sue, not to

put you on the spot because you were a former semifinalist at Wimbledon,

I played my first Wimbledon 40 years ago and Sue Barker was in the semis.

And should have won. But I am just curious. In your opinion, what would

Serena Williams be ranked if she were in the men's rankings? It is

irrelevant! It is completely irrelevant! Sally said, John is a

man famed for not mincing his words, a bit like Michael Winner, the

straight talking food critic and film-maker who died in 2013. His

final film was called parting shots, but that is not what he will be

remembered for. It was his parting shot to charity which will be his

real legacy, as Joel explains. Michael Winner was a prolific film

director. He made over 30 movies. In his later years, he reinvented

himself as an outspoken restaurant critic. But many of us know him best

as the guy from that insurance advert. Calm down, dear, it's a

commercial. When he died in 2013, he left substantial bequests of two

former lovers and smaller amounts to friends and employees. He left the

house and ?5 million to his widow, Geraldine Linton Edwards. He had a

wonderful sense of humour. One day, I was coming through the door and in

front of me was the cleaning lady, and she had her bucket and mop. And

of course, he thought it was me on so he goes boom to this poor woman.

She throws everything up in the air! I was in hysterics with laughter. In

all, Michael made about ?7 million worth of cash bequests, but debts

from a life of ostentatious spending meant he didn't seem to have enough

money left to cover them. The tabloids pounced. It was disgusting

that people dared to even talk about something they had no idea about.

All of a sudden, there is all of this hassle and lawyers. It's just

awful. You don't even have time to grieve. But the tabloids had got it

wrong. In a twist worthy of one of his movies, Michael Winner's lawyers

uncovered an extra stash of money. Michael had been squirrelling away

cash and assets in offshore accounts for years and once everything was

taken into consideration, the total was an impressive ?50 million. After

all his debts, bequests and packs had been paid, the balance of

Michael's legacy was about ?4 million, and he left it to the

national police Memorial. So why did Michael Winner leave so much money

to that particular cause? It all started at the death of Yvonne

Fletcher. On the morning of April the 17th 1984, police were

patrolling a protest against the then Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi

at the Libyan Embassy in London. Suddenly from within the embassy, a

volley of machine-gun fire rained into the street. Several people were

injured and police constable Yvonne Fletcher was hit in the back. She

died from her wounds later that day. Michael wrote this article in the

Daily Mail, and he said it was a great shame that the only thing that

was left from the moment was her hat. He thought it would be a good

idea to put up a little Memorial so that when people walked by, they

would know that this was the spot where this lovely lady lost her

life. A few people started writing in and saying they agreed, and they

were sending a bit of money, like ?5 here and ?10 there. And he said, I

don't know what to do with this, so he rings up the Charity Commission.

And he says, do you mean to say that you wish to put up a memorial for me

a policeman? Of course, you don't say anything like that Michael

Winner. He just blew up. And he immediately said, you do realise

that if you have not formed this charity within two hours, you will

be the most hated man in England? Do it! So the man said, are you trying

to bully me? He said, yes I am! And put the phone down. The police

Memorial trust was born. A memorial to WPC Yvonne Fletcher, paid for by

the new charity, was unveiled at the sight of the former Libyan Embassy

on the 1st of February, 1985. Here fell WPC Yvonne Fletcher in 1984. So

this was the first. Quite an achievement. There are about 44 now.

But above all, his main joy was the National Police Memorial in the

mall, and the Queen unveiled it. And the money left in the wheel keeps it

going. Yes. For a celebrity known for his playboy lifestyle, this

memorial and many others like it are touching legacy.

It is very touching. Thanks for that lovely film the Jo. So are you

planning any surprises in your will? A bit of a tasteless thing to ask,

but that is what I am famed for. I would have to think about that. That

is not an easy thing to tackle. Needless to say, it is not something

you want to talk about with the missus a lot, but you have to give

something back to charities you believe in, hoping your kids were

also put money to produce. My wonderful wife if, God forbid,

something happens me... ! I thought this was a happy show! Let's go back

to your comfort zone, John, Wimbledon. It starts on Monday. Sue,

you at the end of the fortnight will be thrusting a mike into the

winner's mouth. Yes. I know what you mean! Predictions. Who do you think

you will be speaking to at the end of the fortnight? Roger Federer. I

would go with that. Andy Murray, if he is fit and get us through the end

of the first week. I saw today, with him limping around the practice

court. And the women? Someone came out of nowhere to win the French,

but if I had to pick one person, I would pick this young lady from the

Czech Republic, plush cover -- Plishkova. I don't know if she is in

the same league as Petra Kvitova, who was recently stabbed, but she

has come back and won it. So those would be my two. If they are in the

same section, which I don't know because I have been too busy

preparing for this show to look at the drawers.

You get him for half an hour, I have two weeks of this! Off Wimbledon,

you have been jetting around the world, making this fantastic

documentary. We have seen it and loved it. Did you learn anything you

didn't know before? You have interviewed a lot of the greats,

including John. There is nowhere Sue goes without you being there. What

did you learn, Sue? I think our tennis has moved on from the early

60s, with Rod Laver Arena Wimbledon are getting a ?10 voucher that he

has to buy a tennis shirt with in London. Now it is 2.2 million for

the winner. Is that all, with all the money that the All-England Club

makes? Whereas the rest of that ?150 million going? Could it be your

father? Did you check that out? Let's take a look at the moment when

you met John's great rival, Bjorn Borg. You in some ways changed

tennis. Now they have tunnels underneath Wimbledon, but you guys

would have to leave the locker room and fight your way to get to

practice courts, which can't have been easy. It was different during

our time. But you use to get mobbed. You could tell when you were walking

out, because all the policemen surrounded you. Well, something

happened in tennis during that time. You would stay in your hotel room,

in the reception would be full of girls. It was crazy.

It is amazing how similar we looked in those days. There was this famous

rivalry, but you love each other. It is a bromance, really. Is it true

that you wear his pants? Not at night, because that would be weird.

He is one of the few guys I didn't have a fight with or have issues

with on the court. He accepted me on the tour. I love the guy. I wish he

had kept playing. He said he would have loved to have played on, but he

couldn't accept all the adulation everywhere he went, people running

after him. He couldn't handle that(!). Did it have anything to do

with the guy who beat him in the 1981 Wimbledon final? That was the

mat he said he should have won. Well, I should have won the one the

year before. So we are even. Wimble stunt -- Wimbledon starts on

Monday. Until 50 years ago if you are watching Wimbledon, it was in

black and white. Carrie has been asking people about their memories

of their first blast of colour. Yes, it's 50 years since that splash

of colour in 1967 showed British viewers for the first time how green

the grass was at Wimbledon. It changed the face of television

forever. I'm here at Olympia, where visitors are bombarded with colour.

But do they remember their first colour TV experience? What are your

first memories of colour television? Oh, gosh, my father coming back with

a brand-new Murphy TV, a huge lump. This huge colour television that

half of the route needed to come in and helpers move it. We were not

allowed to touch it, dad had to switch at off. We weren't weren't

allowed to watch it all the time, it was rationed. We have black and

white and I thought I was happy with black and white. We eventually

persuaded my father to get a colour television and I think we'd had it

two days and the film some like it hot came on and he was cursing,

slapping it, saying, I told you it wouldn't last. He hadn't realised

some like it hot was made in black and white! Reims Robben Island! Did

your father by the first television he had? No, no, everybody rented

them. It wasn't far off the price of a car. If you had a coloured TV, you

were posh. I'm sure my auntie had a colour TV before I had, because she

always had to have everything. It was a bit keeping up with the

Joneses. Yes, and it was the excitement. Those things were

exciting. What was your favourite programme? Doctor Who. Mine was the

Persuaders with Roger Moore and Tony Curtis. Children's Hour. Life before

colour TV was drab but suddenly Alan Whicker was there in his suit, the

sea was sparkling blue and transported you. They are missing

the main thing, the soccer. The FA Cup day, football, the whole street

nearly was in the house. Everyone wanted to see the films in colour.

You were suddenly very popular. Yes. Are a member of grown-ups pouring in

to watch the investiture of Prince Charles. Mums and dads would bring

sweets, we'd sit down and watch programmes than it was all over and

they'd play God Save The Queen and we'd stand up and salute. So 50

years of colour television that started on BBC Two with Wimbledon

certainly left a lasting impression. Sometimes the grass is greener on

the other side. Thank you, Carrie. John, onto your

autobiography. It picks up where the first one finished, really. It talks

more about adapting to life after tennis. Was it a hard move to make

into retirement? Green robbing you peek at 25, 20 six. -- you peak at

25, 96. I was going through a divorce. I tried a talk show, I

tried things, didn't always succeed. The experience helped me grow as a

person. It brought me. Called the tennis, which maybe is a better

wheelhouse for myself. It's a great read, some of the

stories are almost unbelievable. So what we thought we'd do is we

thought we would ask Sue, we'd tell them to Sue and ask which once she

thinks are true and which ones we've made up. All you have to say, Sue,

is in or out. Ball boy? APPLAUSE

Isn't a adorable? Dave. John, would you serve up the first story. You

ready for this, Sue? I missed the Wimbledon winners' champions dinner

in 1981, because I was partying with The Pretenders rock band. Or out?

In. In its correct. APPLAUSE

I'm sorry, I didn't know Hawk-Eye was available. We had a whole

graphic but we did it beautifully. We didn't have that when I played.

Story number two? I was once given some business advice by Serena and

Venus' dad, she told me to bring out my own range of hair products. In or

out? Out. CLAPPING. Out. However, he did say don't do her products but

do... Perfume. And did you? I did not. It will have to wait. Sally

found this in the shop. Seriously, by John McEnroe.

LAUGHTER You cannot be serious!

APPLAUSE Number three. Smells of lavender and

sweat. Is this true or false, in or out? I lost my temper quite badly...

In! LAUGHTER

With Adam Sandler after I I discovered my scene in the film

Anger Management was heavily edited. In or out? I'm going in. Let's find

out. What did you say to him? I can't

say, this is a family show. It's about 723, I believe. Last one. In

the book I say that Sue Barker... Is a real -- here we go. Is a real

professional, and natural in front of the camera. She's funny, she's

got empathy and she's done an impressive job over the years. In or

out? Elise let it be in! I think it's out. Please, let it be in.

APPLAUSE I take it back now. You're welcome.

And true, by the way. I have to admit. Wow, But Seriously is out

now. Next week at Wimbledon there will be a bit of people enjoying the

corporate nosh. Eat as much as you can and if there's anything left,

take it home. I'm sure Tony Singh would agree. Is it appropriate to

mention my brother once waited in the corporate hospitality tent and

dropped an entire poached salmon on Margaret Thatcher?

LAUGHTER In a fast -- fancy restaurant the

last thing you want to do is embarrass yourself but what do you

do if you are stuffed but don't want that lovely grub going to waste? If

you are full up or haven't finished your meal, just ask for a bag and

you can take home the leftovers for yourself, or the dog. Easier said

than done it seems. Here in the UK our crippling fear of social shame

mean doggy bags have never really taken off until now. Because doggy

bags have arrived in force in Scotland. Yes, the government funded

zero waste Scotland has introduced the good to go scheme and they want

all restaurants in Scotland offered doggy bags without the side order of

social embarrassment. Olivia is the campaign management. How much is a

problem is food waste in restaurants for us? Scottish restaurants being

53,000 tonnes of food every year and about a third of that is plate

waste. It's good food that you could then possibly take home and enjoy

later. We came up with a solution to have this branded good to go box. I

wouldn't be embarrassed for asking for that or carrying it out, it is

quite cool. But what do the diners here think of doggy bags? No, I

wouldn't ask for a doggy bag. Because it's something smelly I have

to carry around until I get back to the house and put in the fridge and

throwing three days later. I would maybe take it if it was cold

already. I wouldn't take something already hot. I really enjoy my food

and the chances of there being anything left on the plate is

probably quite slim. But what does one of Bryn's top etiquette experts

make of them? Grant is a former royal butler and he likes to do

things the proper way. Fingers before forks. The 21st century. But

when it comes to pizza, surely it's not bad manners to take it home? We

are not wasting this fantastic pizza. Fantastic. Would you put in a

doggy bag? Thank you. I do apologise for my friend. So doggy bags or

boxes are clearly the norm in pizza places. But are they acceptable in

the high Street restaurants? I've never been embarrassed to ask for a

doggy bag, especially of its been a good meal. Korea is always better

the next day anyway. Get your money's were. How do you use the

meal the next day? Chicken breakfast. It depends what it is.

I'm a student, it's my breakfast and lunch the next day. Hang on, it

seems everyday diners don't mind asking for a doggy bag, but can our

former royal butler get over his embarrassment? Well, where better to

find out than in his home territory, one of Glasgow's poshest

restaurants? Can he bring himself to ask? Good God, no. I'd be so

embarrassed to say to one of the waiters, can I have a doggy bag? It

wouldn't be the thing to say. Imagine the restaurant manager

coming over to find out what the problem is. I would die. The only

thing you should take away from the restaurant ideally as the receipt.

You wouldn't ask for the table, chairs or glass.

I'm going to ask you to ask for a doggy bag. Really? Can we not

like... No, we need to ask. Have you finished? Yes, it was delicious. Is

it possible to have a doggy bag? Is it OK? Of course. Thank you. Thank

you. Well, he's done it but how does he feel? Fantastic. He looked at me

and almost looked like that, a look of horror. We are sitting at the

same table, he was professional, he said no problem. So one more convert

to the doggy bag albeit a reluctant one.

They are a great duo, that pair. Would you do doggy bags? Sue Barker,

I can't imagine it. Yes, I have a cocker spaniel at home. John?

Unfortunately my dog passed away, so that made me think. Bring it down

again. But I love of tea bags. Did the dog lead you anything in his

will? I love to bring food home, love it. That's it for the night. A

big thank you to Sally. That was amazing, did you enjoy it? I did, I

really did. LAUGHTER

. Hugely with Sue Barker and John. Wimbledon coverage starts on Monday.

I'm back with Matt on Monday and we'll be joined by the actor Jason

Bateman, very excited. Plans for the weekend? Swotting up for Wimbledon.

Buy. -- bye-bye.
