:00:21. > :00:27.Hello and welcome to a packed Friday One Show with Angela Scanlon. And
:00:28. > :00:32.the ever dependable Richard Osman. I think I am more maverick than that.
:00:33. > :00:36.Take That will be playing us into the weekend with a song from their
:00:37. > :00:42.new album. 25 years after their first it.
:00:43. > :00:48.# It only takes a minute, girl # To fall in love...
:00:49. > :00:55.# Never forget where you're coming from...
:00:56. > :01:08.# Have a little patience ... # Going to live for these days...
:01:09. > :01:15.And we asked joined by two stars of a new busy comedy drama Decline And
:01:16. > :01:18.Fall. This character is described as a money grabbing lunatic scholar.
:01:19. > :01:23.Her character is simply manly and gregarious. David Suchet and Gemma
:01:24. > :01:30.Whelan, everyone! APPLAUSE
:01:31. > :01:36.Welcome. Today, you may or may not know, is National Kindness Day. Have
:01:37. > :01:41.you had anyone been particularly nice to you today? Yes, the car I
:01:42. > :01:44.got into this morning was driven by somebody who turned round and said,
:01:45. > :01:49.this is National Kindness Day and I'm going to give you a big smile.
:01:50. > :01:59.And I want you to give me one back. So I did. That's my act of kindness.
:02:00. > :02:03.That's absolutely true. What about you, Gemma? I didn't know it was
:02:04. > :02:08.National Kindness Day but I was given a free cup of tea by a coffee
:02:09. > :02:15.shop, brand unnamed. I thought that was quite kind. You would think it
:02:16. > :02:18.would be a free cup of coffee at a coffee shop. As of tomorrow, the way
:02:19. > :02:25.that friends and family communicate with loved ones in the Armed Forces
:02:26. > :02:31.abroad will change. The technology has constantly been updated but the
:02:32. > :02:39.message has remained much the same. Occasionally I went wrote and wrote
:02:40. > :02:42.two letters in a wig. We have had lots of e-blueys coming through and
:02:43. > :02:47.it was fantastic getting mail. Just thought you needed. Reed even just
:02:48. > :02:54.looking at the e-bluey without reading it, it's just got more and
:02:55. > :02:58.more special. I first came across e-blueys in the Gulf War in the 1990
:02:59. > :03:04.and you had to wait a couple of weeks before you got a reply. When I
:03:05. > :03:11.went back in 2005, we wrote as many e-blueys as we could to our family
:03:12. > :03:13.and we got replies immediately. The system is effectively a cross
:03:14. > :03:18.between an e-mail and a letter sent through a website, print it out in
:03:19. > :03:22.the fighting theatre and conveyed to the soldier as a letter. In the
:03:23. > :03:29.Second World War, the Erick Rowan was used extensively and the paper
:03:30. > :03:35.was blue. In November 2012, my husband was deployed to Afghanistan.
:03:36. > :03:39.We had been married for about 12 months. Finding I was pregnant two
:03:40. > :03:45.weeks after he left was a bit surprising. I wasn't prepared at
:03:46. > :03:49.all. E-blueys meant that we could share the information and the news
:03:50. > :03:55.quickly. If there was a scandal coming up or a midwife appointment,
:03:56. > :04:00.it made it so much easier. When Gary went to Afghanistan he was 51 and we
:04:01. > :04:07.had been together for over 20 years and we had five daughters. The nine
:04:08. > :04:12.slicks -- the e-blueys was a real life-saver because I couldn't bring
:04:13. > :04:17.him in Afghanistan. I sent them everyday and I felt I was supporting
:04:18. > :04:20.him, taking him away from Afghanistan for the time it took to
:04:21. > :04:27.read the letter. It doesn't what is going on. You get your mail and you
:04:28. > :04:33.can just immediately travelled back to being at home with your family.
:04:34. > :04:39.When I found out we were having twins, I decided e-blueys was
:04:40. > :04:43.definitely the way to put this out there and to make sure he believed
:04:44. > :04:47.me. Thinking that sending a scan picture would make it really clear,
:04:48. > :04:53.like, we definitely are, I'm not joking! In the scan, you could see
:04:54. > :04:57.both of their hearts beating. So much pride. We did it, the best
:04:58. > :05:04.thing we've ever done, except for the chocolate brownies. Within 24
:05:05. > :05:11.hours, he phoned. He thought it was a joke, but I really wasn't joking.
:05:12. > :05:12.Seven months on tour, a perfect way of avoiding his pregnant wife for
:05:13. > :05:28.seven months! I said in the photo, which was
:05:29. > :05:32.probably the last photo we had together. It's the last thing that I
:05:33. > :05:37.wrote him. Me and my gorgeous husband, and I can't wait to get my
:05:38. > :05:40.hands on you. I love you, your loving wife, always, Jacqui. He
:05:41. > :05:47.probably got that before he went out. If it was the final letter he
:05:48. > :05:53.was ever going to read, I am glad that I sent him this one. I kept
:05:54. > :05:57.every single letter that he said to me, and it will be something that I
:05:58. > :06:08.will share with the grandchildren, part of his legacy and how wonderful
:06:09. > :06:11.grandad was. Thank you so much to Jenn, Tim and Jacqui for sharing
:06:12. > :06:15.their stories. The Ministry of Defence will be launching its
:06:16. > :06:23.replacement for the e-bluey tomorrow, called Imail INtouch.
:06:24. > :06:26.Decline And Fall starts tonight on BBC One based on the Evelyn Waugh
:06:27. > :06:31.novel which hasn't been filmed on TV before. Can you give us a beginners
:06:32. > :06:38.guide? David told me what to say backstage! Paul Pennyfeather is
:06:39. > :06:41.unfairly dismissed from a college at Oxford University for indecent
:06:42. > :06:47.exposure and is shipped out to a castle school in Wales where he
:06:48. > :06:52.meets David, the headmaster, Dr Fagan, and his favourite daughter,
:06:53. > :06:54.Dingy. Paul Pennyfeather falls in love with one of the parents and
:06:55. > :07:03.what happens next goes from bad to worse. It gets quite dreadful in a
:07:04. > :07:06.very comical way. We can have a little luck. I thought you did
:07:07. > :07:15.great! Lets see when both your characters are introduced. Also,
:07:16. > :07:19.another familiar face. I hope that you brought some soap and boot
:07:20. > :07:25.polish and pens and paper. I'm afraid I didn't. Father, I told you
:07:26. > :07:32.to tell him that the masters are not supplied with those luxuries. It
:07:33. > :07:38.slipped my mind. I can get some. I have put you in charge of the fifth
:07:39. > :07:42.form. You will find them delightful boys, quite delightful. I have also
:07:43. > :07:49.put you in charge of games, carpentry and the fire drill. The
:07:50. > :07:51.fire escape is very dangerous and never to be used, even in an
:07:52. > :08:00.emergency. APPLAUSE
:08:01. > :08:05.We watched the first episode and it is brilliant. We haven't you -- we
:08:06. > :08:10.had seen you doing comedy for a long time. It was terrific fun. It's
:08:11. > :08:16.nearly 30 years since I had a chance to actually be in a comedy. The last
:08:17. > :08:22.thing was Blot On The Landscape in the mid-80s. Is that your choice?
:08:23. > :08:28.Because you are brilliant at it. Thank you. I think it is just what
:08:29. > :08:33.comes on the table. I started tomorrow in 1987, 1988, and then I
:08:34. > :08:37.started doing heavy dramas in between and theatre work, and it
:08:38. > :08:41.didn't come my way. It's ironic because, having finished Pyro, I am
:08:42. > :08:46.suddenly finding myself being asked to do comedy again, and having a
:08:47. > :08:54.wonderful time. It looked like a lot of fun to film. Gemma, your entry
:08:55. > :09:06.was slightly different, to stand up as Chastity Butterworth. Yes. Oh,
:09:07. > :09:13.there she is! It was lovely to be seen for a comedy drama like this. I
:09:14. > :09:17.was pleased. It an incredible cast, surrounded by familiar faces
:09:18. > :09:28.everywhere. We can see a few. I am sure... Jack Whitehall. Vincent
:09:29. > :09:34.Franklin. Did you have fun on set? A bit too much. I I was let out. I was
:09:35. > :09:38.actually standing by the camera, watching a scene, and I enjoyed it
:09:39. > :09:42.so much I started laughing and I was thrown off the set to the naughty
:09:43. > :09:46.boys corner. It was wonderful, and we were such a close company
:09:47. > :09:55.together. It was a real treat. It felt like a holiday. In Wales, a
:09:56. > :10:00.nice, quite rainy holiday. And it's so funny, even though it is black
:10:01. > :10:04.humour and satire. I think that we do that very well. So many people
:10:05. > :10:13.get to act drunk as well but that looks amazing. But it is acting.
:10:14. > :10:18.Absolutely. There is a lot of hype about Game Of Thrones. Can you feel
:10:19. > :10:23.the madness welling up? There was a trailer teased a while ago, which
:10:24. > :10:27.was animated, and now there is a proper one with the characters. I
:10:28. > :10:33.think people have gone mad for it, as they always do. It begins to
:10:34. > :10:40.brew. Two people recognise you? You don't look exactly like her. I wish
:10:41. > :10:48.that was me! Yeah, there we go. A bit wet and dirty. Yara Greyjoy is
:10:49. > :10:54.an immense character. I adore her and how you play her. What was the
:10:55. > :10:58.attraction? To be asked to do such a show in the first place was hugely
:10:59. > :11:04.attractive. It's exciting to get an audition for an HBO show. When I got
:11:05. > :11:08.the script, as many women would, I really related to her strength and
:11:09. > :11:12.boldness and her friend but its decision-making. It was really
:11:13. > :11:17.exciting to get my teeth into a role where I felt I could relate to it. I
:11:18. > :11:20.think we all have elements, all colours to our personality, and to
:11:21. > :11:26.turn the volume up on more of the independent, strong, wilful woman
:11:27. > :11:31.that we all are is a real pleasure. We appreciate your portrayal. As I
:11:32. > :11:38.mentioned earlier, it is national quite this day, so, Richard, I got
:11:39. > :11:43.you a little card. -- National Kindness Day. Roses are red, violets
:11:44. > :11:48.are blue, we all think Matt Baker's more talented than you. That is a
:11:49. > :11:53.little bit rude. You should have seen the other one is! Route cards
:11:54. > :12:01.are proving more popular on shop shelves these days. -- rude cards.
:12:02. > :12:07.Esther headed to the streets to find out if everyone gets the joke.
:12:08. > :12:16.I have got a handful of these cards, they are rather rude, and I would
:12:17. > :12:20.ask people what they think of them and whether they think that shops
:12:21. > :12:25.should have parental guidance signs up. Blimey. If I sent you that, on
:12:26. > :12:34.your birthday, what would you say? A bit rude. Are you easily shocked?
:12:35. > :12:42.Sometimes. Oh, that's too much. That's too much. Cards are meant to
:12:43. > :12:49.be funny, to lighten your day off. That's a bit below the belt. You
:12:50. > :12:59.have a really naughty laugh. Nothing wrong with that! Are you
:13:00. > :13:04.broad-minded? Yes, and dirty minded. That's a bit rude. It did make you
:13:05. > :13:10.laugh. It did, but it's not very acceptable. Hang on, that a boring
:13:11. > :13:17.one. You are looking for a dirty one! ... That, I've no idea what it
:13:18. > :13:25.means. I know. Does it mean something naughty? Very naughty. I
:13:26. > :13:30.don't like that. You think having parental guidance in card shops is a
:13:31. > :13:39.good idea? Personally I think it's common sense. I think it's terrible.
:13:40. > :13:44.A lot of these can be too rude. Why do people do it? It's an insult. I'd
:13:45. > :13:51.send that to my worst enemy. How would you feel if you got that?
:13:52. > :14:01.Offended. I sent a lot of cards to my grandmother but I wouldn't send
:14:02. > :14:04.that! Break. According to Esther, that is the most fun she has said
:14:05. > :14:09.filming in 25 years, and brilliant as ever. Also brilliant as ever,
:14:10. > :14:18.Take That! APPLAUSE
:14:19. > :14:25.That was a little film about very rude cards. Have you ever had the
:14:26. > :14:29.need to send anyone to anybody? I love route cards. When I'm having a
:14:30. > :14:35.bad day, I go and stand in a card shop. It cheers me up. That is
:14:36. > :14:39.tragic. Gentlemen, welcome to the One Show. You have a new album, the
:14:40. > :14:44.first that you have written and recorded as a 3-piece. How has it
:14:45. > :14:49.been? It's been really nice. The last time that we made a record, we
:14:50. > :14:54.had Jason and we didn't know whether he was in or out, so it was tricky
:14:55. > :14:58.to make. We were finding our feet as a trio. But we felt, when we went on
:14:59. > :15:04.tour and you came to see us, Richard, kindly, we had a great time
:15:05. > :15:09.and we really felt confident and, all of a sudden, we feel we have
:15:10. > :15:13.become a 3-piece. We wanted to get back straight into the studio to
:15:14. > :15:21.make a record. So this is harmony? Oh yeah. You don't sound social! It
:15:22. > :15:27.was confirmed when we went on tour and we found our feet as a 3-piece.
:15:28. > :15:31.We both went to see your tour, not together. You went with Matt Baker.
:15:32. > :15:37.But it was sensational, you really put on a show. What have you got for
:15:38. > :15:48.us with this album? The tour is in five weeks, May the 5th. Anything
:15:49. > :15:53.special up your sleeves? Can I leave you guys? I don't feel very well.
:15:54. > :15:58.Excuse me. Are you all right? You will be performing in the round this
:15:59. > :16:05.time. And so you know Adele gets wheeled in in a box to avoid...
:16:06. > :16:13.Being seen. We are not going to be doing that. It feels a bit weird
:16:14. > :16:21.that Gary has disappeared. I hope he's OK. Bless him. But you are used
:16:22. > :16:26.to dipping in and out. It will be me next! Do you mind if I just...?
:16:27. > :16:37.And that's the story of how Howard became Take That.
:16:38. > :16:44.CHEERING Come on back in, Mark. Come on. Sit
:16:45. > :16:48.down. Gem is a big fan of you particularly. So we don't want to -
:16:49. > :16:53.you know, she wants to keep you at a close distance. Massive fan. It was
:16:54. > :16:59.when you did the caterpillar. It did it for you. Do you remember? It was
:17:00. > :17:03.the clincher. I really wish I could now get on the floor and do. It I
:17:04. > :17:07.haven't done it for so long, I'm a bit worried I make a bit a fool of
:17:08. > :17:13.yourself. I think now you've had your kids you could do it. You won't
:17:14. > :17:15.damage anything. You used to do a high caterpillar. We have a clip of
:17:16. > :17:36.you in action. APPLAUSE
:17:37. > :17:39.I'm not sure that's natural. That is genuinely very impressive. I think
:17:40. > :17:47.that would have made Gary even iller. We mentioned, 25 years since
:17:48. > :17:51.your first song. Is there anything on the list that you'd like to do
:17:52. > :17:55.that you haven't quite gotten to yet? There's quite a lot of things.
:17:56. > :17:59.Actually it's more than 25 years. It's about 27, coming up to 28
:18:00. > :18:01.years. We've never actually celebrated that 25 years yet. But
:18:02. > :18:06.there's going to be something in the pipeline. I think there's probably a
:18:07. > :18:09.lot of places, we're going to Australia and New Zealand at the end
:18:10. > :18:12.of this year. We've never toured in New Zealand. That's one of the
:18:13. > :18:15.places we've never been. There's a lot of countries like Argentina
:18:16. > :18:21.we've never toured. Those are on the list. You've sung, written and done
:18:22. > :18:26.everything. Any other jobs left to do. I heard you wanted to direct, is
:18:27. > :18:30.that right? It is, yes. It's something I'd really like to do. I
:18:31. > :18:35.got papers for signing up for London film school. I haven't filled them
:18:36. > :18:39.in yet. I still have them in my drawer. I'd love to do it. I said to
:18:40. > :18:44.the lads though about maybe directing one of our future videos.
:18:45. > :18:49.I'd like to do that. I got tumble weeds in the dressing room. It was
:18:50. > :18:54.just like, all silence. He's worried about how many days you would make
:18:55. > :18:57.us work. Are you the slave driver? No, I'm not going to say yes,
:18:58. > :19:03.because everybody's going to blame me. Poor Gary is exhausted! We have
:19:04. > :19:07.two of Britain's finest actors here who would adore to be in a Take That
:19:08. > :19:20.video. David, you're an enormous fan. Enormous!
:19:21. > :19:31.George has a film about the rarest of insects.
:19:32. > :19:38.During summer, the cliff faces of our coastline are dotted with some
:19:39. > :19:42.incredible miniature structures. I've come down to Devon in search of
:19:43. > :19:47.an amazing animal architect that excels in the creation of beautiful
:19:48. > :19:54.home skierior. Tiny chimneys up to three centimetres long. They're the
:19:55. > :19:59.creation of the spiny mason moth nicknamed the chimney wasp. Each
:20:00. > :20:03.chimney is the entrance to an underground nest, where a female
:20:04. > :20:09.raises her young. To find out more about these amazing insects, I've
:20:10. > :20:17.met up with my friend naturalist Jon Walters who has been studying a wasp
:20:18. > :20:21.colony here for two years. I've got a question, why should the wasps go
:20:22. > :20:26.to all this trouble to make that structure? There's a few
:20:27. > :20:31.suggestions, maybe that it's to keep rain off. One other theory is that
:20:32. > :20:37.it's actually a ventilation system, so when this gets baked by the
:20:38. > :20:44.mid-summer sun this time of year, it actually acts to cool down the
:20:45. > :20:48.provisions of the larvae inside. Cameraman Mark is capturing the
:20:49. > :20:54.architectural feats with his specialist lenses. First, the female
:20:55. > :21:01.selects a bank or cliff of clay-rich mud. She then visits a nearby pud
:21:02. > :21:05.toll collect water, which she moistens and softens the clay
:21:06. > :21:09.allowing her to extra investigate the underground chamber where she
:21:10. > :21:18.lays her legs. The extra investigated pellets are used to
:21:19. > :21:24.build the external chimney. As well as construction work, the female has
:21:25. > :21:26.to go hunting. She visits the local vegetation in search of weavil grubs
:21:27. > :21:34.which are fed to the developing young. While the female's away, her
:21:35. > :21:42.chimney is left unprotected and vulnerable to visits from a rather
:21:43. > :21:48.striking intruder, the cook coo wasp who seeks to take advantage of the
:21:49. > :21:52.indust Reece chimney wasp. These are parasitic. They lay their eggs in
:21:53. > :21:58.the nests of other species. These richly coloured creatures are often
:21:59. > :22:02.referred to as jewel wasps. They fly very near the chimneys trying to
:22:03. > :22:07.spot a female in the process of establishing a nest. They then sit
:22:08. > :22:12.nearby and they watch and wait until the host wasp has flown off and at
:22:13. > :22:25.that point, they take the opportunity to sneak inside unseen.
:22:26. > :22:29.John shows what happens when a cookoo wasp leaves the nest. It
:22:30. > :22:39.crawls in via the chimney and go inside the burrow. What the cockoo
:22:40. > :22:50.wasp is after is a full groan larvae. Then -- grown larvae. Then
:22:51. > :22:56.it will hatch and it will be a grub that attached itself to the chimney
:22:57. > :23:03.wasps varve yay and suck out -- larvae, and suck out the inside.
:23:04. > :23:07.Then it spins a cocoon and remain until the next year. The chimney
:23:08. > :23:15.building mason wasp seems to be thriving, at least on this beach.
:23:16. > :23:21.This fragile chimney will slowly disintegrate, battered by wind and
:23:22. > :23:25.rain. The larvae will come out in the spring and the cycle will begin
:23:26. > :23:28.again. Good news, Gary is OK. He's still
:23:29. > :23:36.going to be performing. He's over there.
:23:37. > :23:40.APPLAUSE David, you have had a very busy
:23:41. > :23:45.couple of months. I have. Not just doing the project that we talked
:23:46. > :23:52.about. I fulfilled a lifelong ambition as an actor. I'm going to
:23:53. > :23:58.be in Doctor Who. Yes! Your dream. I can't tell you anything about it at
:23:59. > :24:01.all, except that you will not recognise me very easily. I said yes
:24:02. > :24:11.before I read the script. Quite right. I bet he's a baddie. It was
