30/09/2016 The One Show

Thank you and welcome to The One Show with the beautiful Alex Jones.

Thank you. Is back on my sofa, Shane Richie. I'm back again.

APPLAUSE It's great to be back, the last time

I was here was before Christmas. I will stick by you this time! That is

a relief. I didn't even know you had started kissing.

Later we'll be meeting the Moxhams who have a classic car

collection with a difference - they don't actually

First though, what connects these three incredible worldwide hits?

# In the middle of a chain reaction # Lost in action #

# Why do you have to be a heartbreaker

# When I was being what you want me to be #

# Islands in the stream # How can we be wrong?

Well of course they were sung by Diana, Dionne, Dolly and Kenny,

but they were all co-written by one man, who you'll probably recognise

# Jive talking # So misunderstood

# Jive talking # Really no good.

APPLAUSE This is so excited, genuinely so

excited. Could you clear something up because earlier when we were

asking what sort of questions we would ask you but the song Islands

in the stream, did you write that for Dolly and Kenny? No, we had a

writing room above the studio and it was written with Diana Ross in mind.

Kenny Rogers called up and said, will you do a couple of songs? I

said I'd rather do an album, you know? I didn't expect him to say

yes. They said, OK, let's do an album and I thought, oh dear, now

I've got to do a whole album. Sometimes you walk into something

but I'm glad I did. He was a very special person and it was a pleasure

to work with him. We both have different stories. He thinks Dolly

was already in the building and we were looking for him the maximum for

him to sing with. There are different versions of this story. We

have cleared it up tonight. When we cut the track we already have Dolly

in mind and so did he so part of the puzzle had slipped away, part of the

memories. We've cleared that one up. I don't know if we have cleared it

up. We will talk about your new album soon, Barry, and you will

perform the title track In The Now at the end of the show. I got so

excited when I knew I would be on the show and I knew you would be

here. On the way in I was listening to the radio and when you listen to

it there is only a handful of artists over the last 40 years, as

soon as you hear the voice you know who they are, Elvis, Prince Khama

Michael Jackson command seriously, I think when you hear one of your

tracks you know exactly it is Barry Gibb. You are too kind. It is a

unique falsetto voice. But how hard is it for men

to reach those high notes? Hitting the high notes has been a

problem for many a male singer over the centuries. For some it seems to

elude them and for others it is a career defining moment. Brake life

had just begun. # Touching you...

Falsetto is produced when only a vibration occurs across half the

length of the vocal cords which produces a shorter sound wave and

therefore a higher pitch. Falsetto is thought to go back to the 13th

century, and by the 16th century it was a term in common use in Opera.

Now, I want to find out how hard it is to reach this falsetto heaven so

I am off to the Royal College of music in Manchester, where the elite

come to train. Kieren Fallon time is heading towards his musical goals.

# Smile though your heart is aching # Smile even though it's breaking. #

Do you think there are guys out there who could sing like you but

they have never discovered that part of their voice?

There probably is but you have to work through your voice and find out

what your voice can do. Is the part of your voice that you

are using slightly more fragile than it would be if you were singing as a

lower singer? Definitely. The voice is way more

fragile so you have to look after it, no shouting, no screaming, you

have to warm up so nothing can go wrong. You've got to have your

armoury ready. When you learn to sing the way that I sing you get

lots of tension and sore throats get in the way. Once you get mentally

over that of the mixing of the sounds and it is easy.

Away from the refined environment of the Royal Northern College of music

I wanted to find out whether the people of Manchester could hit the

high notes. # Mamma Mia! Let me go

# Mamma Mia!! Let me go. It is there but it is not strong but it is

there. # Don't blame it on the goodtime

# Limit on the boogie. I can't get any higher than that.

# Stay with me. It is in there, it is just rusty,

have a good calf. # Stayin' Alive nick Stayin' Alive!

# Cry me a River.

# Cry me a River. That's what you call a falsetto

singer. There is probably lots of dogs

howling now. It is tough to do. Barry, let's get onto your album, In

The Now, lots of emotive songs on the album, what was the inspiration

behind it? My own feelings about life. I didn't

focus on really on In The Now, I focused on my opinions about things

in an abstract form. In The Now is a defiance of time. So much loss in my

family, including mum. They are in the songs. Wonderful lyrics. Yes,

but in abstraction. You know what is great about songs, you can say

everything you want to say that you can't say in words. You can say it

within the lyrics of the song. As a writer what comes first, the melody

or the words? The melody and the centre, in other words, what's this

song about? That will happen to me in the middle of the night and I've

got a little recorder. There is a song called you Win again which came

about four o'clock in the morning in a dream.

# There is no fight. That was in the middle of the night

and you recorded it? Yes, but it wasn't by my bed, I had to run

around the house. I've got a tune in my head!

It is like a dream and when you wake up it disappears and I had to catch

it and you have to catch it at that moment.

You are writing the album with two of your eldest sons, and Ashley and

Stephen. He is outside the studio. Did you want to keep it in the

family? You evolve into it. The same with my brothers, their harmonies

were not wanted by me, they were natural and they just started doing

that. I think it is based on my father bringing the Mills brothers

home and I became a fanatic on the Mills brothers, their harmonies were

beautiful and that is what triggered it. Who do you like listening to

now? I started listening to a lot of Prince tekkers he's not here any

more, I started focusing on what he was doing. He sang so much in

falsetto, I didn't realise how much. Michael, always. Frank Sinatra. Any

modern stuff? That's as modern as it gets, Stevie Wonder. Stevie Wonder,

Ray Charles. OK. You collaborated with Chris Martin, the highlight of

the summer, you in Glastonbury. Let's remind ourselves of Stayin'

Alive. # Feel the city breakin'

and everybody shakin' # Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin'

alive, stayin' alive APPLAUSE

I'm always intrigued, who makes the phone call? He called me. I wouldn't

have called and said, can I come on the show. There are lots of shows

I'd like to be on but you cannot call them. He called me and asked if

I would consider doing Glastonbury, even if it was just two songs, and I

said I would love to. But you don't need me. You are on your own wave

right now, don't worry about it. He said, no, I really want you to do

it. If you call me again I will do it. Could you feel the love on the

stage from hundreds of thousands of people? On the screen it came out of

the screen. It is like a water of people. Yes, it is a difficult thing

to face. I could see the first 10% of the audience, but magic, you

know? Magic and money! It was a definite highlight of our summer. In

The Now, the new album, is out next Friday.

if you've got an Austin Allegro, Ford Cortina or a Vauxhall Viva

Are you listening to this, Barry? You could be in luck.

They could all soon be reclassified as 'classic cars' by

Christine's met somebody who's already ahead of the curve -

he's got a familiar face and a hundred familiar voices.

This is lovely. What would your dream car the? Jaguar. Lamborghini.

Bentley or a Jaguar. My favourite car, Ford Cortina. Impressionist and

comedian Jon Culshaw has a passion for old British cars. But with

surprisingly few left he is devoted to bringing them back. Here is where

they live. I sort of consider this place a bit

of a Donkey Sanctuary for old cars. Donkeys? These are more like

thoroughbreds, three immaculately restored 1970s Fords. Two Cortinas,

and a great big console. But why splash his cash on such ordinary

models? There is something about how common they were in the 1970s. So

many people had cars just like this, the Cortina and the Granada. Now

they are so rare. Believe it or not, my first car was this lovely Cortina

Mark two. Can we have a go? I think we should, which one would you like

to have a trip in? The 2000 E. Tyler, get the Cortina, move it! The

Cortina 2000 E featured in the 70s police drama Life On Mars with John

Glen and Philip Glenister are nice but naughty. The perfect car for

cops who don't stick to the rules. Driving with John is a slightly

unnerving experience as you're not quite sure who will turn up in the

driving seat. Sometimes it's a Doctor. I reversed the polarity of

the neutron flow so the Tardis should be in the force field. Or the

bloke who Rhys Priestland his Fords. I've got to keep it the original

colour, you know -- re-sprays. He first laid dot-mac fell in love with

Cortinas aged eight at junior school. I can see it so vividly now,

there was a metallic purple mark three Cortina and it caught your

attention. I thought that is the one and when I grow up I'm going to get

one of those and sure enough I did. When the Cortina was launched in

1962 and it cost ?573, about two thirds of the annual average wage.

It was a massive hit and over the next 20 years around 2.6 million

were sold in Britain. Do you really believe that these cars are worth

restoring? I think they are because you hear the stories of so many in

the day that would just scrapped. Of the 2.6 million UK Cortina is only

around 1300 are still on the road, and as for the 2000 E there are

currently less than 50 licensed to drive. I feel a responsibility. I

like to give them a good home. If this was to break down, would you

know what to do? I would phone the AA!

LAUGHTER In fact, the mechanical genius

behind John's restored cars is his brother Jim. Together with Jim's

friend Albert. I remember growing up and you always

have the great cars, the American cars, the Dodge Monaco, the size of

the Isle of Wight on wheels, it was very called, your mates at school

would talk about it, and it was cool and it made me think, I'm going to

do that. He might not know much about engines but John buys the cars

and has the bodywork restored to the standard he hopes will keep these

rather rare everyday cars going for years. There is actually one last

job to complete the restoration of this, and that is the sticking of

the GT badge just there. How about I hand that to you. Perfect.

It was a bit high, that badge, wasn't it? She spotted it right

away. Nice to see you. We've seen your car

collection but we will find out about someone else's. Can we please

welcome the Motz and family? Dad, Matthew, you wanted a classic car

collection that you couldn't quite afford one, tell us what you did?

Decided to name my first child after a classic car and then pretty much

decided to name all five of them after that. Now all five children

are here in the studio. They are all named after classic cars. So this is

a game for John, but Barry feel free to join in. We are going to guess

the name of the children. We give you a clue and then you guess, OK?

You have to do it as other characters. We will start with the

daughter, 22, named after a German make of car Janis Joplin once sang

about. Must be Mercedes-Benz. Yes, Mercedes! The oldest son, 18, named

after a luxury British car Manufacturer once owned by

Rolls-Royce. Any ideas, Barry? About what? About the name of a child

named after a luxury British car Manufacturer once owned by

Rolls-Royce. Bentley. Is he right? Yes! It's Bentley. Brilliant. The

middle child, daughter, 16, bit of a tough one, named after a 1952

Armstrong Sidley model which shares its name with a blue gemstone. I

think I know this. Sapphire. Is sapphire the right answer? Yes! Well

done. The second youngest boy is four, named after a British car

popularised by James Bond. What is his name? I wonder which one, Martin

or Aston, or both. Barry, what do you think? Aston. Is he right? Yes!

You've won a luncheon voucher, Barry. The youngest child is just

three and so cute. And he's named after a make of Bugatti that can go

faster than 250 miles per hour. I think this calls for a Clarkson

impression. Veyron! Is he right? Yes. And they have a cousin out the

bag called mini clubman. Trudy, where's Mum? Are you much of a car

not like the old man? No. Well thanks for coming, nice big thank

you for the family. John, you are on Newzoids at the moment, you brought

up at it with you, somebody Shane knows well. Let's introduce the

fellow. There he is. All right mate? Who is that supposed to be? That's

Phil Mitchell. I'm going to ring him now and tell him you're taking the

Mick out of him. Well I have a little mini me to protect me. Barry,

Ayew familiar with film actual? I'm not, I thought it was a terrifying

baby. Newzoids is on ITV tomorrow night, you can see John and his many

voices. In a moment Barry will perform live for us but first the

Duke and that is of Cambridge have been in Canada.

They were given a local delicacy to eat called a 'gooey-duck'.

It's a kind of clam, which Prince William described

Back in Britain, chef Tom Kitchin knows how to get

round the problem of presenting clams, but he's in two minds

These days more and more of us want to know where our food has come from

and how it's sourced. It's something I'm really passionate about but

sometimes the politics on how our food is fun and fish really muddies

the waters. For years I've been dead set against this electro- fishing.

Electrodes on the sea bed stun the shellfish and other sea life making

for easy pickings. The EU banded nearly two decades ago as a threat

to sustainability. But now a rising tide of voices says electro- fishing

is the future. I want to see if its supporters can convince me I was

wrong. Back in my restaurant one of my signature dishes is this. Razor

clams with wild herbs. So today I'm heading out to see for myself how my

clams are caught. Razor clams fishing is heavily regulated and

monitored to make sure stocks last. Look, there's a baby one. Smaller

clams are returned to the sea. Just throw it back. Scott McKinley and

his team of divers collect the clams by hand. For me that's the most

ethical way of doing it. How much, one diver, how much could he catch

in a day. On a good day diver is expected to get 150 kilograms. F1

driver Ellie dive is getting 150 kilograms, why is hand-picking not

enough? Sundays with bad weather conditions we might be lucky to get

ten or 20 kilos. Sometimes we go out and get very little. That's a good

day when we would get 150 kilos. For these guys, the legal tentative,

commercial dredging, goes against the grain, as it strips the sea bed

there. You think it would be more sustainable to be doing the electro-

fishing than Hans diving or dredging? More economic and viable

way of fishing. We could pick what fish we want, leave all the small

ones, they can bury themselves back into the sand. Doctor Sam Collins

from the Scottish wildlife trust disagrees. He says electro- fishing

could be a real danger. Cobb has been known to have open vertebrae or

internal bleeding caused by electro- fishing. There are lots of problems

with the nontarget species. These are major concerns we are not aware

of yet. This video filmed last year in Scottish waters shows neither

environmental concerns nor the ban have stopped illegal electro-

fishing. You can see the electrodes on the sea bed. And despite fines of

up to ?50,000, it is said to be widespread. Meanwhile law-abiding

fishermen like Alan Forbes have to leave their kit lying idle. So

you've got this piece of kit here stuck in the back of your car and

you can't use it? This bit of equipment has been used once. We had

a special permission from the Scottish Government for one-day.

That one day was for a research project for Marine Scotland, the

very government agency that polices the band. And its findings said

electro- fishing had little impact on other sea life. And that was two

years ago. So if the government commissioned this report and in fact

gave it a clean bill of health, why has it not done anything about it

with your politics, you know, political things do take time,

things don't happen overnight. What we want to do is have them in

Scotland established a structured, managed framework. If you leave it

as a free for all it becomes uncontrollable and then how can we

manage stocks? Well, that's just one of the questions I wanted to ask

both Marine Scotland and the Scottish Government but no one was

available to speak to me. Although they did send me a statement. In it

they admit their own research shows electro- fishing is an extremely

benign method of fishing and could provide a useful economic boost. But

they go on to say they still won't do anything until they've carried

out wider consultation. In the meantime, what I've seen has given

me food for thought. I started out fiercely opposed to what I believed

was a seriously damaging fishing method, but it seems like electro-

fishing for clams might have some serious scientific backing.

Well the Scottish government has launched a consultation

on electrofishing which has just finished today and they expect to be

able to share the results by the end of October.

We can't sleep. I will not stop thinking about this. Thanks to

shame, it's been lovely having you. Have you enjoyed it? I've had a

wonderful time, always do. What are you up to next? Going on tour with

my band, everybody in the country come and see me. Watch Barry closely

for any tips. Matt

and I will be back on Monday with Daniel Radcliffe and Graham

Norton. Huge thanks also to Barry Gibb,

his new album is out next Friday. Now he's going to perform the title

track 'In The Now'. # You're the epitome of innocence

# You're only my destination # And all think about is yesterday

# I need you here in the now # All my life is so wrapped up

in you # To have you suddenly

# Standing right in front of me # I'm only happy when I hear

you moan # You began to slowly

bend my will # All my life I never

felt this way before # I'm only happy when I hear

you moan
