30/10/2015 The One Show

Now the One Show with Alex Jones and tonight's guest presenter... Smooth

ride, Paul? White hello and welcome to the One

Show with Alex Jones. And a real star co-host, Paul Hollywood! I am

looking forward to it. We have half hour of fun. Is Halloween a big deal

in the Hollywood household? We used to fill the bath with apples. My lad

did trick or treat now it is about having a massive sleepover with his

mates. We are aiming to inspire you wall ahead of Toure's night. All of

these One Show viewers have been very busy. They have been taking

part in the Great British Scary Bake Off. You have seen the cakes.

Initial thoughts? I really impressed. We do a lot of auditions

for Bake Off as you know. These cakes are all stunning and including

the ones that people sent in by picture. Who knew? The standard

baking in this country is spectacular, well done! You will all

be in the tent next year! As a regular viewer of Bake Off Ewan

Opel cannot possibly judge a competition by himself. He need

someone to hold his hand. We could not get Mary Berry say we have Scary

Berry! Terrifying! Awful, awful! That is spooky. Exactly the same as

Mary. Paul! But now tonight's superstar guest. Before famously

playing the wizard Gandalf in Lord Of The Rings he made a pretty

convincing vampire. Please welcome Ian McKellen!

CHEERING Hello, nice to see you again. You

were a vampire with a Pet Shop Boys. I was. They just called me up. Their

song was called Heart. I found along with them. I was number one in what

used to be called the hit parade. The top ten. You looked marvellous.

Thank you. However big your Halloween party is going to be this

weekend, it will not be as big as the one we are about to see. Iwan

Thomas went to Northern Ireland to find how one city's celebrations all

stem from one very scary real period of recent history.

Halloween, which has its roots in an agent pagan festival has had

something of a resurgence in recent years. With supermarkets piled high

with pumpkins and spooky cat, some people might say it is a

commercially driven holiday with very little real meaning left.

Tonight, I am in a city where Halloween holds a very special place

in its history, so much so that they take celebrating to another level.

The city coat of arms has even got a skeleton in it. Freaky!

This is Londonderry, Northern Ireland, home of your's biggest

outdoor Halloween party. Each year, 30,000 people crowd Derry's streets

for a three-day spectacular festival of all things coolly and spooky --

rulership. Would you believe this event was born out of violence and

strife? In 1985, the city was in the grip of the troubles. Bombings,

shootings and kidnappings were part of everyday life. Strangely, it was

this which brought about the very first parade. Ryan Doherty was a

local bar manager at the time and remembers how it all started --

Brian. Everybody was in fancy dress looking forward to a big party night

and suddenly, the police arrived in and evacuated the premises. We had

this mass of people walking down the street all in fancy dress. They went

to another big premises around the corner. So in a strange way, the

bomb scare of that night brought everyone onto the streets and

everyone was asking what it was about and it became popular. It was

probably the first Halloween parade. The troubles are thing of the past

and the Halloween parade goes from strength to strength. I am meeting

this family to do my costume. You take Halloween to another level.

Would you say Halloween is more important than Christmas? It is on a

par definitely with Christmas. Everyone gets involved. Can you find

me an outfit for tonight and make me look even more scary? Definitely.

This is starting to look pretty good now. The Browns are expert costume

designers so I am in good hands. Zombie Ewan is ready to hit the

streets of Derry. I certainly think I look the part. The festival has

kicked off and it looks amazing. Look at these costumes. You guys are

so excited. It is massive! This is the first time I have ever dressed

up! Months of preparation going to Derry's parade, the biggest in

Europe. I have never been here and I have never seen Halloween in the

world anywhere like this. No one told me about it. I don't think

anyone does it quite like Derry. That parade was out of this world.

Listen to the countdown behind me. Not only 30,000 people to see that,

but there are fireworks as well. I am told these will be amazing. Check

it out! Do you know what, I have had a cracking night tonight. It has

been brilliant. It is really nice to see everybody mixed together and

have fun. 30 years ago I have no doubt they would never have dreamt

this could happen. They will be doing it all again

tomorrow will stop good costume! You could do that. I thought he looked a

bit like scary male. It is not all of bout Halloween on Saturday night.

At nine o'clock on BBC Two Sir Ian and Anthony Hopkins star in The

Dresser. Meantime, we should express our

darker... Meantime, we should express our darker... Give me the

map. Don't tell me, don't tell me, I have played this part before you

know! I was very fortunate to watch it

last night. I thought it was incredible. Thank you. For the sake

of our viewers, can you tell us the story. Anthony is made up. He is

playing King Lear and I am his dresser. I am the guy in the

dressing room who helps him get ready and put his make up on. It is

a pretty bad evening because he is in the middle of a breakdown but we

have to get him on stage for the performance. That is the basic plot.

It all happened during the war when companies travelled around doing

plays up and down the country. The Dresser is a very famous play, it

has been in the West End, Broadway and a film adaptation. It was a

Albert Finney and Tom Courtenay. He was the original Norman, that is the

part I play. He played him young and I am playing him old. I did not

think you looked very old, to be fair! Older. How did the television

adaptation come about? They asked Tony to do it in the theatre. He

cried off the to a long time ago. He said he would do it on TV so they

relented. That is when I came on board. I had never worked with

Anthony before. It is the first time you have ever worked with him. Why

has it taken so long? I want to spend the rest of my life working

with him. He is absolutely adorable. But he lives in California, Malibu,

and comes over here very rarely. That may be the first and last time

I ever do. There he is again. I have been working my way through the old

boys. Anthony share was in the Hobbit. Pat Stewart, I will be

working with him in London in a interplay next summer. Derek Jacobi

in Vicious the sitcom. Michael Gambon I have not worked with. He

will be next on the list! We know it is called The Dresser but you do not

have one. Paul has got a dresser. Has he? Can't you tell how pristine

he is. Leave it out! It depends how arduous the events are. If it is a

simple play with a simple costume, you do not need anybody. Sometimes

you will have someone to gather the clothes up and make sure you have

everything you need. My dresser, Norman, has been with Sir forever

and they know each other terribly well. Would you like to see this as

a catalyst for more players going on the television? I would. Good point.

When I was a kid there were plays on all the time, there was the

Wednesday Play and play of the month. They were one-off plays.

Sometimes a new one or in the case of The Dresser and old one, or even

Shakespeare or Chekhov. People do not get to see them unless they live

near a theatre. The BBC say they might be interested in doing a lot

more of them. When you were 26, there was of course, this...

Just call me Wolf. I am at your door.

APPLAUSE You mentioned the Wednesday Play and

there you were playing Wolf. That was in 1956. With Jack Hawkins, the

great film star of his time who had throat cancer and could not speak.

He had to add his voice later. Quite good-looking actually. Very good

looking, you have not lost it! Now I have got the Halloween face. Very

dapper. You can see The Dresser at nine o'clock on BBC Two on Saturday.

If you met your partner on the dance floor and they won you ever with

their moves, good or bad, get in touch at the usual address.

Now time to meet the rickshaw riders who will be riding from lands end to

the East End for Children In Need. Amira will be taking on the biggest

challenge of her life and she is doing it all for a very special

person. I am Amira and this is my sister.

She is helping me train for the Rickshaw Challenge. My sister is two

years older than me and she has always tried to protect me and make

me feel safe. We spend a lot of time is together as best friends. We did

everything together. She got 12 a star grades in her GCSEs. She wanted

to do a double degree in maths and Russian. She would be dancing, ice

skating, played the piano. She was always doing something really

active. L was 16. We were the perfect family and then it just

went. She was washing her hands and then she just collapsed. I picked

her up and she wasn't too bad and she said, I don't know what happened

there, mum and that was a bit strange. I got her downstairs and we

were by the front door and she was putting her shoes on and she just

went. No warning. She just collapsed. I knew it was really

serious. We found that she has got an AVM, it is like when the veins in

your arteries and your brain got tangled. It is rare. People who have

got it don't realise they have got it normally and they go the whole of

their lives without knowing they ever had it. After the operation,

she was really poorly. I think that is when it really hit me. Really

surreal. You kind of feel like the whole world has stopped but it

really hasn't. Just really unbearable really at times.

Right from the start, the children's Trust gave my sister amazing care.

They let us stay close to her by setting up a room for us to stay in

during the 16 months we stayed here. The children's Trust is a Centre for

Children with brain injuries. We work very closely as a team, speech

and language, physiotherapists, so that we can try and maximise the

potential that the young people have, but also help educate and

support the family. Every morning, we used to give her a

big wash and everything and pluck her eyebrows and file her nails and

spend ages, just wanting to touch her and be with her. She's not able

to verbally communicate with us, but she would communicate in other ways

like her muscle tone increasing or her facial expressions. They were

very good at watching and being in tune with her and was very good at

knowing whether she was distressed or happy and knowing what she

wanted. Amira was the strong one, she looked after us all. Is that

nice... We rely on the money coming in from chair -- charities like

Children In Need. It's essential to enable us to get what we need. We

want to raise awareness of the charity and we want to be able to

give back to the charity. The biggest worry for the rickshaw hajj

is the hills and the rain. Amira is very driven and she'll do really

well. Everyone is behind her and cheering her on all the way. It's

nice for Amira to be our little shining star at the moment. She's so

selfless, she'll do anything for Elle. It still hurts to think of

what happened to Elle, she had such big dreams for her future and

everything is changed now. So come on everybody, dig deep for the

rickshaw challenge. Life can be so incredibly unfair

sometimes can't it, but Amira is the best sister Elle could wish for.

because in aid of Children In Need, I will be driving actual people in

this 1950s bus this Sunday, all the way from London to Brighton. We'll

explain all later on. Citizen Khan is back on tonight and he wanted us

to whip up some more support for Team rickshaw. Follow the six brave

rickshaw drives who'll be braving the conditions for Children In Need

right here on the one show! Mr Khan, new presenter of The One

Show! Thank you. Well, moving on to Paul's expertise and what Ian and I

have been waiting for all show, it's time knew for the Great British

Scary Bake Off 2015. Yes, we'll just swap over there a

minute. Six one show viewers have been very busy baking. Thank you

all, they are incredible. Scary Berry is looking after them. Not so

great. So you said the standard is -- you set the standard pretty high?

Yes, look at them all. Look at the brain case, the faces, the eyes.

Look at them! They will taste, as bad as they look, I hope they taste

well. They look stunning. Will they be tasting them? Of course. The

scary star baker is Louis! Right, tell us all about your cake,

please? It's a Victoria sponge. What is in there? There's jam. And cream?

Yes. Did you make these? No. The sponge itself you have decorated

yourself as well? Yes. I think the sponge does look good, nice layer of

jam. What do you reckon then, Paul? Nice

and moist, the cake, the bake's good, it's not overbaked and the jam

in the middle, did you buy that? I did. Well done!

You are telling the truth and I like that, well done. I'll pop you back

here. There you are. APPLAUSE

Your second star baker please? Bethany.

Come on over. This looks amazing. What is in the cake? It's a vanilla

sponge. Lovely and pink inside. A brain as well. In we get. And Paul.

Beautiful taste. The cream in there is excellent. The decoration is

absolutely superb. Yes. That looks like a brain. Fab. Well done, thank

you, Bethany. Well done. My third scary baker,

Kirsty. Thank you. Lovely. Look at that. Fantastic. We'll have to cut

into it unfortunately, which is a shame. A big thank you to everyone

else because all the cakes are amazing. Tell us what's gone into

the cake? Chocolate sponge with butter cream and chocolate sauce. Go

on Ian, in you get. That cake is delicious, oh, yep, oh, I like that

one, well done. Ian, over to you. Come back, you two. All three

finalists now. I'm in a dilemma because I prefer the look of Louis

and the Victoria sponge was excellent but he did sort of cheat,

you know. Had a bit of help with the jam. Sorry Bethany that,'s just so

disgusting to look at but delicious to taste. It is very. So I think I'm

going to go for this one. Kirsty. . Congratulations. Fantastic. Thank

you. Mary Berry or scary Berry bring in the trophy. Lovely.

Thank you very much. Congratulations. Paul, we know that

you know your way around the kitchen. Yes. But what about the

great outdoors? I'm good when it comes to that. All right, if you do

get lost in the great outdoors, here is a man with some great advice and

a great name for Halloween. More and more people are using smartphones

and satnavs to get around, but this reliance on technology can have

serious consequences for some people. Robert Jones found himself

perilously hanging over a cliff edge after blindly following his satnav

orders. Student Paula saly ended up stuck on a train track. Luckily she

managed to get out of her vehicle just before it was hit.

And a taxi driver from Norfolk ended up wheel deep in water after his

satnav directed him down a river. Your destination will be on the

left... But it's not just on our roads where people relying on

technology are getting lost. Dave Tate was hiking in the Lake District

when his smartphone stopped working. Me and two friends made an impulsive

decision to climb Scafell pike. We were told to do it by tea time. It

didn't turn out as planned. Moments after reaching the top, the weather

changed. Within seconds, there was hailstone, wind, rain, fog, we could

hardly see the edge of the mountain, we were in serious trouble. Didn't

you have a map or a compass with you? We'd actually totally relied on

my smartphone. Luckily for Dave at 3am, they were eventually rescued.

But someone who would have been a great help in this situation is

Tristan who uses nature to help him navigate. Everything we see outdoors

can be used as a map or a compass, from the sun to the wild flowers,

the birds, the stars, everything can be used to help us find our way. We

have arranged for Tristan to show Dave some of his techniques. The sun

is due south in the middle of the day every day of the year, and this

has a huge effect on all of wa we see around us. If you have a look at

this tree, can you use that to tell me which way is north? No. Trees

grow more abundantly on the southern side. Can you tell me which way is

north? That way. Great stuff. Dave is briefed on how to use nature as a

compass. This is very common on the south side of trees. Whenever you

get a sweet fruit, that is south facing. This is the south-west side

of the tree where the strong winds come from so the roots spread out

further to help hold the tree up. Dave's had the lesson. Now for the

test. We've hidden the car keys about a mile away and the only way

to find them is to follow the natural clues.

Don't get lost! And we'll keep a close eye on him just in case he

goes the wrong way. "Use the view of the sun to find south". I can see

the sun so we'll go for, this is south. I think he's got it. The

bigger roots of the tree should be pointing south-west, so we'll go

with this. Dave has to head south-west from the tree then look

for berries in order to work out which way to go next. Found the

fruit. That's south. That must be east. So far so good. But it's

getting tricky. We must now find the tree which sends him the right way.

Probably in the right area but he's not thought to look up. The one he

needs is way up in that tree. Didn't spot that, maybe it's that one.

Let's try this path. He's picked the right route. After about half an

hour, Dave manages to naturally navigate around to his finalnation.

This has to be it. Your car keys are on the north side. The roots on this

one are evenly spread out but I would still say they were longer on

that side. I should be stood near the car keys. He's going home!

Yay! Well done, Dave. How did you find it? Nature's quite

self-explanatory sometimes if someone explains it to you first.

Armed with the natural navigation skills, let's hope Dave won't find

himself lost in the wild again. Thanks Angelica. As it's dark, my

job tonight is to get everyone home safely in this beautiful vintage

bus. Chris Evans and I for Children In Need are driving all the way from

London to Brighton in this bus as part of the vintage run this Sunday

coming, a lot of generous people have donated a lot of money for this

privilege. We have past the tests, theory everything, we are going.

Please on the run, don't do this. Going left. Oh! Turns out that the

coach is a bit wider than I thought. Oh! Dearie me. If you are thinking

of going to Brighton on Sunday, probably best not to. That is it for

tonight. Thank you so much to Ian. The Dresser is on tomorrow at 9. Can

I get on the bus? Yes, bye. Paul, you too. Got insurance, yes,

excellent. On we get then. Now, we'll be back on Monday. Hugh

Fearnley Whittingstall is our guest, but have a great weekend, everybody!

Ready, everybody! Here we go. Clutch in. OK, see ya!

The knives are sharpened and the heat is on. It can only mean one thing.
