30/11/2015 The One Show

Hello and welcome to The One Show with Alex Jones.

Tonight's guest is going to exclusively reveal

the contenders for BBC Sports Personality of The Year 2015, so

She once beat Princess Anne in a race, nearly knocking

She beat Boris Becker in a game of tennis, playing with balloons

APPLAUSE We got it! Got it! We'll get rid of it now because I don't

like them either. I tried to smile for you. No doubt you are smiling

because, a huge weekend of sport. The Davis Cup? I know. I cried at

the closing montage because they showed all the matches and how hard

they have fought to get there. James Ward beat Isner.

Lots of people played their part, of course, but I don't think I've ever

seen Andy Murray happier. He plays his best tennis when playing for the

British team. He was emotional, that's why we were. So animated.

Great. That's the World Cup of tennis and Britain have won it.

First time in 79 years. There we are, cause for celebration.

APPLAUSE We have the No Idea of the Year

awards. If someone in your family has the kit and enthusiasm but a

distinct lack of skill, dad likes fishing but doesn't have the kit,

send us a picture of them all dressed up and we'll hold the awards

later. This week MPs are expected to

vote on whether British forces should start bombing Islamic

State targets in Syria. David Cameron says air

strikes will make us safer. Labour is officially opposed to

bombing but its MPs will be allowed We asked four people whose lives

have been touched by events My son was the first Brit to die

fighting against Isis. I don't hate Isis. I think that's for people in

Syria to do. But I do think that they are a dreadful, dreadful,

dreadful scourge and they need wiping out.

I believe that Britain should be joining its allies in bombing Syria.

I'm Hisham, a Syrian activist. I have official status in England for

five years because I'm on a hit-list of the Assad regime. Bombing Isil is

not the solution. We cannot decide to strike them only. 95% of the

Syrian population who've been killed it was because of the Assad regime

bombs, not only off Isil. I'm Patrick. I used to be an infantry

officer in the British Army, served in Bosnia, Iraq and Afghanistan.

There is an air of unreality about the debate. There is no thick black

line on the desert border between Iraq and Syria. Isis don't recognise

the border between Iraq and Syria and our Alis are bombing in both

Iraq and Syria, so from a military perspective, it is absolute nonsense

to have RAF planes that can fly up to an imaginary point but not beyond

it. I'm Kadira, I live in Brighton. I own a charity shop. I have a son

Ibrahim. He went there and he died in Syria because of the American

bombing. All you saw on the news is Jihadi fanatic, this and that,

that's all you can see. I'm one of the victims because I lost my son

because of this Syria thing. If you go bomb, is the bomb going to pick

the Isis among the people - no. Who're the ones that are going to be

bombed - the innocent civilians, women, children, vulnerable people.

The system is vulnerable and sadly there'll be mistakes, but you have

highly trained teams targeting specific buildings, vehicles, and

you are able to do that with a high degree of accuracy. Our inactivity

and our apathy up to this point have meant that Isis have spread and

Russia's had an opportunity to step in. Actually, we've lost face and

we've lost an opportunity to really be players in that area. This

bombing thing, I'm sick and tired of it. I came from a war zone. I know

how it feels. They have got no idea. They have no idea what is war, as

long as you are taking innocent lives, I don't care who you are, you

are no better than the terrorists, you are no better than the suicide

bombers, you've all got human blood, innocent blood on your hands. If you

lose a loved one, you will never ever see them again, that's it. If

you keep Assad, nothing will change and things will be more complicated.

I think from the beginning of the revolution started, people went

peacefully and asked for him to leave. So basically, he needs to

leave. When your allies are calling for your assistance, when you are

trying to have some sort of moral stance to say, look, this is what we

won't stand for in the global community, it's wrong not to

contribute. Do I believe that we should have

boots on the ground - no, absolutely not. The worst thing for Isis would

be for us to start working together and living together and being

friends together and supporting each other. They want to see divisions

and they want to see armies because then they can say their prophecy is

about the -- prophecies about the end of the world are coming true.

Let's not play their games. Thanks you to Vasiliki, Hishan,

Patrick and Kadijah Lovely to see you. Can you clarify

for us what the Prime Minister is proposing then and what he hopes

will be the end aim at the end of all this? Sure, he's been shown

intelligence by MI6 and other agencies which has convinced him

that some of the attacks, the big attacks we have been seeing like the

ones in Paris and elsewhere, are being directed by a hard core of

leadership in Syria, belonging to so-called Islamic state. Currently

Parliament's given permission for RAF planes to hit IS targets only on

the Iraqi side of the border, so the Government is saying this is

ludicrous, they can cross the border as much as they like, but the RAF

has to stop short of the border. He wants Parliamentary authority to be

able to hit them, alongside the existing Air Forces that are already

doing it, the Americans, French, Australians and now the Russians.

Realistically, are they still there? We have seen attacks all over the

world, if they know that they are coming, they are obviously going to

be watching the news and know these decisions are going to be made, are

they going to be there? It's interesting you say that, because in

the last few days, the French and Russians have intensified their

attacks on suspected IS positions in and around Raqqa, and what we are

hearing from people inside Raqqa, civilians, they are saying that IS

soldiers are taking off the uniforms and disguising themselves as

civilian, trying to embed themselves even more into the population. Now,

the Government's argument is that the RAF have this very accurate

missile called the Brimstone, although it has a nasty contagion,

with the word accurate being in it, it means this thing can be targeted

to go right through the roof of a car and hit someone planning a

Bataclan-style massacre like in Paris. That is their argument. The

argument against is our own safety and surely, top of the list if we go

in and bomb, does that make us more of a target? I think in the

short-term yes it probably does. People will be saying no, but I

think it does, because the very public debate about this means this

will have been noticed, IS are not stupid, they watch the news, the

media, they'll be downloading clips from Parliament and putting into

their next pop began Da video. They'll want to carry out an attack

to embarrass Cameron. Britain is already a target for them -- --

propaganda video. They are already at war with us and linked to seven

of the plots in the last year that have been thwarted. I think they'll

intensify their attempts. In the long-term, it's possible that

British inclusion in the actions may ultimately degrade or reduce their

ability to plan these things in the way that the Americans have done in

Pakistan, that they have kept their leaders on the run continually, that

they weren't able to plan any other big attacks, but it's a really messy

business. There's a map, by the way, let's have a look at this, this is

Syria. It's meant to be complicated by the way, this map. Oh, this is

the simplified version. This gives you some idea of all the different

groups counterly fighting each other in some cases across Syria. So just

briefly, yellow is IS, pink up the top is the Kurds and right down the

bottom left in the dark green is the government. It's very complicated,

which is why a lot of people are saying, we shouldn't get involved,

let them sort it out themselves, others are saying we shouldn't leave

it up to others to keep Britain safer in the long-term.

Frank, thank you for trying to simplify it for us, thank you. Thank

you very much. Today is apparently Cyber Monday,

which means there are lots of discounts to be had if you

like to do your shopping online. But there's

at least one man who thinks that His name is Lenny Sellick, and

this is Lenny Versus the Internet. Never mind Black Friday or Cribber

Monday, bargains are here! 79-year-old Lenny's had a stall for

over 40 years on the market. Got to knock it out for one reason or two

reasons... Despite the massive rise in online retail, he firmly believes

the market is the ultimate shopping experience. Anybody still there...

?2 each. What are you offering me? ?1. ?1.99. What about if I can find

one of these cheaper on the Internet? You can't. I'll put that

to the test. I'm convinced. We have one. A cushion cover? We have a

cushion cover for ?1.75. Hang on, plus ?1. 20 delivery. That's what I

meant to say about that, they sort of say the price is ?10, then in the

small print it's a fiver to post it. ?15, I don't care what they say.

So why should people ditch online and get down to the market? Because

of the bargains, because of the atmosphere. There is no atmosphere

on a laptop, is there? There just isn't. They are lonely and bless

'em, you don't have to wait ten days and get a neighbour to take a parcel

in. Whatever you buy online could be rubbish, you don't know until you

get it, at least you know what you get here. The convenience, the

Fehily, the touchy, try it on. I'm surprised women can buy anything

online because they all go like that with the material, don't they, you

know, here you are, look. Lenny is convinced the market is definitely

better than shopping online, but what do the shoppers think? Nothing

beats coming down the market. We have our breakfast down here, then

go and have an Earl Grey, it's a Saturday ritual. I love to walk

around, have a look and have a talk with the ladies and gentlemen down

here in the market. I do shopping online but sometimes I come down

here, you really get good deals here actually. You get bargains, I've

bought a lovely jacket. What is the best way to get a good deal at this

market? Haggle, haggle, haggle, every time. Is this White Saturday?

Yes. Are all these dresses for ?1? Yes. Bargain. Try it on, I could do

with a laugh! You would get run over on a zebra

crossing with that on. I'm 71 now, I've been coming here since I was

ten. It was a lot more stylish years ago.

Plastic bag out to match your outfit. That's what you used to do.

Black Friday was a fad. Maybe the Internet is a fad, I don't know. You

have been here 45 years, do you think it will still be here in

another 45 years? I've been hearing the death of markets, 30 years ago.

There'll be certain people who'll always say that. I don't think so. I

think the people come down here to enjoy, as much as the day out. And

is that it, that human personal interaction? Absolutely. That's why

I'm still doing it and will carry on doing it until I can't. I don't feel

well... LAUGHTER

I'm the same, I like to see and touch it. It's part of the shopping

experience. No doubt about it. We are going to reveal the Sports

Personality Of The Year nominees shortly. First, we are going to

celebrate a huge personality from the world of rugby, Jonah Lomu. You

interviewed him? I interviewed him a view times. There aren't many people

that change the face of their sport, and changed completely. He did. He

was such a gentle giant. A quietly spoken, lovely, kind man. Very wise,

as well. He had had a kidney transplant already? He had been a

very sick man, before the World Cup, when he made such an impact, he was

sick and did not want to tell them. Unbelievable, that he played right

through? Yes, and it's a real loss. I really feel for his family, his

fans, for New Zealand. I think the whole rugby union world will really

miss him. But they will never forget him. What a figure. A big night, it

has been top secret for a long time, who the sports personalities are

going to be, the contenders, the short list. They have all had their

hands on gold at some point in their life. It brings us nicely onto the

next film. And it's gold that the man

in our next film is chasing too, For the last year, I have been

hatching a plan to create a very personal and special piece of

jewellery. I am designing an engagement ring for my girlfriend,

Roberta, as I am about to propose to her. Let's hope she likes it.

Fingers crossed she will say yes. I want to take my inspiration from

Scotland. The first thing I'm going to need is some gold. Scottish gold

is very pure. I am heading to Dumfries and Galloway to meet up

with Leon Kirk, who has been collecting gold in these parts for

nearly 20 years. I'm looking around here, it's not exactly the wild

West. It it is not where people imagine you would find gold? It's

amazing how many people have said in the past they can't believe that

there is gold year. The highest purity and get is 24 carat gold,

Scottish is about 20 or 22. For somebody to be wearing a ring of

pure Scottish gold, it's very unusual and special. To find it, it

is a case of sucking up the gravel from the stream and using a gentle

method of tilting the pan to get rid of the water and heavier materials.

There are special ridges to capture any gold. Your eyes play tricks on

you, you get a flash and you think, there is one. But... No. You need

permission and a special licence to look for gold. After a good

half-hour of planning, my first lack of Scottish gold! During the next

three hours, I need a bit more. Although it is small amounts, for

what I'm looking to create, it is absolutely priceless. Leon is going

to add to my hall, so I've got enough Scottish gold to make the

ring. Next, I'm off to the east coast of Scotland, a place called

Ruby Bay, to find a beautiful fiery red gem. These gemstones are not

actually rubies. They are a garnet. They take their name from the Greek

pyro, meaning the heart of the fire. They become displaced from the

rocks during stormy weather. The best way to find them is to crawl

around, slowly brushing sand away from side to side. There one! . She

is a beauty. A really nice size. That would be large enough to set

into a gold ring. After a couple of hours searching the beach, I have

found enough for the engagement ring. The final gem I need to cover

is smoky quartz. It's the national gemstone of Scotland, also known as

Cairngorm. To find that, I just need to pop home. Home is a tree house. I

built it ten years ago and lived here ever since. While doing some

work around the house, I saw something glistening on the rock

outside. I couldn't believe my luck. Sitting in this volcanic stone

was a smoky quartz crystal. Cairngorm Crystal was often

considered to be a talisman and many high land clans own such stones. It

also happens to be her favourite gem. After a quick tour around

Scotland, I have all the elements I need for my girlfriend's engagement

ring. The next part of my journey takes me across the border to

Birmingham, a city renowned for jewellery making. David Stokes, who

works in computer graphic design, is able to take my sketch and create a

3D image of the ring, adding Celtic patterns and place in the gems. We

are going to drag them around, wherever we want it positioned. I

wanted lower, so it's not using up too much gold. I wanted to be

comfortable as well, if it sits high, it will get into the way.

Next, a cast is made. The Scottish gold is melted down with a gold

hatpin left to Roberta by her grandma. I hope she doesn't mind me

doing this, because the diamond from it, with the other gems, is going to

be set into the ring. I don't trust myself with the intricate work, so

I've got George here and I'm going to leave it to the professional.

Once the stones are set, it is given a final polish. There we have it.

The engagement ring. A testament to the beauty of Scotland. Now all I

need is a yes. I will let you know what she says.

No pressure on any other man thinking of proposing! The lengths

he went to, crawling around on his hands and knees on the beach. Wasn't

that so romantic? Do we know, did she say yes? Well...

Clare, to get you practicing for Sports Personality of the Year would

you like to reveal what happened when Adam proposed to Roberta?

My heart just stopped! Did she say yes or no? Or maybe? She said yes!

Huge congratulations. It's going to be wonderful. You couldn't not,

could you? Will they still be living in the tree house? We will have to

get you back on with another envelope in a few months' time. How

does that relate to your proposal? I am obviously very romantic. I went

and bought Allison an eternity ring and did the whole thing. When we

actually got to the civil partnership ceremony, in 2006, we

got to the registry office and she said, I haven't got you a ring! We

had to run down to the jewellers. On the way there!? Yes, that wasn't

even an hour before. Better late than never! You need an Adam in your

life. It's finally time to reveal

the sports men and women who could be following in the footsteps of

Dame Kelly Holmes, David Beckham, Bradley Wiggins and Ryan Giggs Here

is the shortlist for this year's Lizzie Armistead leads the way for

Great Britain! Gold! Here comes England, looking for Bronze... Yes!

An absolute belter! She comes back to win her second world title,

Jessica Ennis-Hill is back on top of the world! Mo Farah, going for gold

again! The world champion again! Chris Froome is Britain's first

two-time winner of the Tour De France. Tyson Fury, the self-styled

Gypsy King, the heavyweight champion of the world! Lewis Hamilton has won

his third World Championship! He is the 2015 world champion! Great

Britain have done it! Andy Murray, unbeaten in the Davis cup. Gold on

the 100, now gold on the 50, the first time the double has ever been

done at the World Championships for men. Rutherford completes his grand

slam. Olympic, European, Commonwealth and now world champion.

The cup is lifted by Kevin Sinfield and the Leeds Rhinos have gone and

done it again. Max Whitlock is the pommel horse world champion!

It is a big list, 12 contenders, a huge variety of sports covered. Very

different people doing different things. I think it's great, it

reflects a brilliant year of sport. These are the first three.

Particularly, they had a great weekend. What can you say about Andy

Murray? He made the Davis cup the priority this year. He finished

runner-up at the Australian open, 11 out of 11, extraordinary. Lewis

Hamilton Woods his third, the Formula one season ended recently,

but he won it with three races to go. Tyson Fury, against all of the

odds, becoming a heavyweight world champion. Always difficult to judge

one sport against another. We are going to move on to the athletes and

Olympians. Successful in Beijing, Greg Rutherford is the first British

man ever to hold all available outdoor long jump titles. Jessica

Ennis-Hill only came back into training last autumn after giving

birth. Made the decision with a month to go to go to the World

Championships, won the Championship. Mo Farah, if I said he was the first

man ever to do the triple double in distance races, would you know what

it meant? It sounds impressive... The World Championships, the

Olympics, the World Championships again. And those that have been the

comeback kid kings and queens. My mistake! We are going for team

members that have been... You know... Adam Peaty, the first

swimmer to swim the 100 in under 58 seconds. Lucy Bronze, the player of

the England team, in taking the bronze medal, ironically enough, at

the World Cup in Canada. Scored that amazing goal in the last 16 against

Norway. Kevin Sinfield, the first rugby league player to make the

list. Iconic captain of the Leeds Rhinos, they did the trouble. He

retires. -- treble. And now it is the comebacks. As Matt teased!

Amazing performances from all of them, they overcame great things.

Chris Froome was injured, had a chest infection. He wins the king of

the mountains. Lizzie Armitstead, she had that horrible crush, she

comes back and wins the national title, goes to the road race titles

in Virginia and wins gold. She is the leading road cyclist in the

world. Max Whitlock... What a come back, everybody thought, would he

ever come back to the World Championships? You did, not only

that, he became the first world champion ever in men's gymnastics.

that, he became the first world Ever!? I can't be biased, I have

that, he became the first world stop there. I think it's a really

good and varied list. An incredible line-up, the winner will be decided

by public vote during the live show, broadcast on and BBC Radio 5 Live on

the 20th of December. For more information, you can go to the

website. Live in Belfast! And now back to London, the awards for the

All The Gear But No Idea Of The Year. Ready for scuba diving, but no

idea! Look at this, this is Barry, he spent ?20,000 on this bike that

he can't even ride. We have the new line-up in sports footwear. We are

going to leave you with John's view, attempting to ride a motorbike. I

hope he wasn't hurt! That's all we have time for thank

you to Clare for joining us. Tomorrow we'll be joined

by two Indian megastars, the King of Bollywood, Shah Rukh

Khan and his co star Kajol.
