31/08/2012 The One Show

Welcome to Friday's One Show with Alex Jones and Chris Evans on what

is a huge weekend for Dr Who fans. Behind every Doctor there is a

ravishing intelligent assistant. Look who it is, it is Karen Gillan.

On the eve of her last ever series. You leave in this series, Dr Who

fans will be gutted. I hope so. was your last day on set? That was

seer even actually. Every was feeling it and the last scene, the

three of us walking into the tar disand we were all in the darkness

and we all hugged and it was a really weird moment and then I

cried a lot. How long did you cry for? I mean, probably two weeks

actually. That is a lot. We will talk more about Dr Who later and we

have some clips. Exclusive clips of the first episode of Dr Whom. The

daleks are on tomorrow. Can you at home make your own Dalek in the

next ten minute. You have one here, you can have a look at this one in

case you don't know what it looks like. It doesn't have to be that

good, cardboard will do. Children, if you want to be a Dalek, I am

thinking saucepan on your head, can you make it happen in the next ten

minutes. Send your pictures to the usual address and we will show some

later. Coming up, some Scottish neighbours

of Karen's are interested in seeing her tonight, like this unbelievably

cute little fellow. You will also see more of this, what happened

when we took the most infamous voice of Dr Who for the last 50

years to meet the people of Slough. (Voice of the Daleks)

Children cried in Tesco. Yesterday we spoke to Tanni Grey Thompson

about the situation regarding Victoria Arlem, the controversy of

whether or not she is impaired enough to qualify as a Paralympian.

The whole issue of classification needs some urgent clarification. We

got Cherry Healey on the case. For these young members of an Essex

all ability swimming club, the Paralympic Games is a chance to

cheer on their heroes and perhaps dream of one day going for gold

themselves. What is surprise something that despite their

seemingly different physical impairments, some could compete in

the same race. Ready, set go! How do you ensure a level playing

field for Paralympians going for gold in the water, on the track, or

on the court? It is all down to classification.

There are even more athletes taking part in year than in Beijing in

2008. And all 4km 200 have gone through rigorous assessments to

decide who they can compete against fairly. Classification groups

athletes together in terms of their medical and functional abilities,

and simply they are just put into one group where they know that each

of those athletes, even if they have slightly different

disabilities, they have the same styles of function, so they can

compete on a level playing field. The system varies in each sport but

the principal remains the same. Most sports use a numerical scale.

Sprinter Oscar kiss torius is classified as a T 44. T stands for

track. The first number refers to the category. In Oscar's case it's

4. The second 4 represents the level of that impairment. So he

would never race against, say, a T 11, a visually impaired athlete, or

a T 41, with a more severe impairment. If there is lots of

different types of classification, surely, each sport has to be done

over and over. Yes. You will have wheelchair racers doing 100m final,

leg amp tees doing 100m final and then you will have a group of

athletes doing the 100m final together. There's quite a few 100m

finals, but that duplicates the fun and excitement.

It all sounds sensible, but in some team sports competitors with very

different levels of disability can compete on the same team. I have

come to join the Harlow hurricanes wheelchair basketball team to find

out more. The classification is based on your

ability in a chair. So my care is not as good as most people, due to

my disability. Each player is given a points value, according to their

impairment. From one which signifies the most severe

impairment, up to 4.5. But a team of five players cannot exceed 14

points on court at any one time. You have to work the stuff out

before and make sure if you are playing, you have to be able to

know if you take that player off and put someone else on, it is not

going to go over the points. Four main areas are assessed in

wheelchair basketball classification. Coach Richard is an

expert. What kind of things do you actually do when you are getting

your classification? They check out your physical ability, core

strength and grip, the physios come and watch you play basketball and

on the track it is the same thing. Up to and during the Games,

competitors are continually assessed to ensure they are

classified correctly and controversies do occur when some

athletes are reclassified, even up to the day of competition. How can

you be sure the athletes aren't cheating the system?. Throughout

the years, as Paralympic sport has progressed, the testing that is

involved has become so much more sophisticated now. You have medical

opinions. You have physicalological technical opinions from really

specialised medical experts. We are confident now it is better than

ever and very hard to cheat with the system. To us, the

classification process can seem complicated but to the athletes it

is a long-established process that allows them to concentrate on doing

what they do best. Peter White joins us. We have been watching the

Paralympic five aside today where blind players play partially

sighted players with sighted goalkeepers. You have experience of

playing this game and it looks very dangerous to us. It is very

dangerous. They must be very skilled? You usual your hearing

quite a lot. I used to play and the greatest skill I had, I had a low

centre of gravity, so I could charge into people and survive.

These guys are good and the Team GB team drew with Spain today and that

is a really good result. What do you have to do to get sent off in

the game because it looks violent from the off? All the usual things,

kicking, tripping, but the trouble is it is easier as a blind person

to claim you tricked somebody accidentally. Two days into the

Paralympics, how is it going for you? Quite well. We have 18 medals

at the moment. I think we are third, although it changes every moment.

If you remember, everyone got very worried in the Olympics because GB

seemed to start slowly. There have been one or two results that

haven't gone the way we wanted, but the GB is very strong and we are

predicting, they are hoping for over 100 medals. We are certainly

aiming for second. Lots of people, since the Olympics, have said that

maybe we should combine the Paralympics with the Olympics. What

is your thoughts on this? It's a nice romantic idea. I do wonder,

and I have talked to a lot of Paralympians about this about how

practical it is. You have to remember the Olympics is the

largest international sports events and the Paralympics is the second

largest. They are both huge. They have already got a problem of how

do they fit everything in. My worry would be that there is a danger

that the Paralympians would be swamped. If you have Usain Bolt

competing and you've got a goal ball match going on, who are the

cameras going to focus on. Do we really want a six hour opening

ceremony?! Or longer even. As a blind man, how do you get to enjoy

the Paralympics, is it radio, radio? Not always. I love radio and

I took radio, I went to the Olympics, went to three or four

evenings, but some sports for blind people are enjoyed more on

television. Sounds weird I know. But sometimes people can talk too

much on the radio. What are you trying to say, Peter. Nothing

personal Chris. That is why I have the records, so I don't talk quite

as much. Tennis, I can enjoy it better because I can hear the ball.

On the radio you can't hear that. If you listen to it on television,

once you figured out who is serving, you can follow the game quite well.

You can tell the difference between a lob and a smash. Thank you.

If the one show did Dr Who, I know The morning commute to work is

pretty boring. I am going to have a go at liveening things up a bit.

This is Nick, my secret weapon. Here is your script. What I am

thinking is something like from series 7, episode one, where you go

arghhhh. I have something in mind. A train now approaching platform 1

is the 2164 AD First Great Western service. Attention. Attention. We

are now robotising your brain. case you hadn't realised nick is

the voice of the Daleks. This train is exterminate here. Calling at...

Exterminate them immediately. a Dalek. Exterminate. Take me to

your leader or I will exterminate. What we should do now is roll it

out across the whole of Slough. hub of the Dalek empire. Eye

tension. Human beings, in the back to school section, attention, Dr

Who fan in the grey hooded top. Turn round and come back to the

fruit and veg section. I am a Dalek. Time to end on a high.

# Dr Who, who are you? I always thought the Dalek was put

through some voice sin theseiser Nicholas takes it through to the

read tlus for the episodes as well. He is sitting at a table doing it.

Some of those impressions were dodgy but we hear you are very good.

I have done this once before. have some lines you might like to

say in Dalek tones. I want two portion of chips and mushy peace

now. Exterminate exterminate. like the mushy peace. I would like

two portions of chips and mushy peas please.

Why have we got a blue Dalek? Edon't know. They come in all the

primary colours. You can buy them right now, special price, Friday

night price on the One Show. Shall we have a look at the all new Dr

Who. How much trouble are we in? Out of

ten? 11. You know when you turn up on the

first day of being Dr Who's assistant, 2010 for you, is it the

kind of job when on the first day you have to decide then when your

last day is going to be? No, it was left open actually. Then it was

well into the shooting that we came up with the decision to leave after

these five episodes. Me and Stephen Stephen Moffat. Putting my feelings

and emotions about it, the most important thing to me is the show

and the character. I just wanted her to leave at the right time and

to have maximum impact and not outstay my welcome. Arthur and I

have been the longest running companions now. It feels right.

your marriage was in bits? The new assistant is Jenna Louise Coleman,

how will you feel seeing her on- screen? I think, I have seen

pictures of her working with Matt and I thought it might be strange

because you have a weird sense of ownership over it, but I am looking

forward to seeing him interact with a new person. I get to watch it and

not know what is going to happen. How do you break the news to Matt

and your mum, who is a huge fan? She is still saying I don't want

you to you Karen. She's had two years. Who tells Matt? Actually the

producers told him and then he calls me and and they were all like

it's actually happening, weirdly excited and scared. Shall we have

another clip? Where are we? Not just any

spaceship. The parliament of the Daleks. Make them remember you.

Come on then. You've got me. What are you waiting for? At long last,

Brilliant. But it's not Christmas, that's not the Christmas episode.

Are you on the Christmas episode? No. Do you get killed off?. I can't

tell you that. It's really good. You have done another film in the

meantime and you are going to Hollywood. I am going to Alabama,

will be fun because I have never been to the keep shoot and I am

going to shoot a film about a brother and sister who embark on a

mission to prove that the death of their parents was caused by a

supernatural force. Have you had your leaving do yet? Yes. What was

it like? Yes, Arthur's favourite band played and we ended up in John

Barrowman's flat. Did everyone sign a card? Yes, everyone signed it.

had no idea that Torchwood is an element of Dr Who. Yes. According

to our director, who says he's not a Dr Who geek. Dr Who is on BBC One

tomorrow night at 7.20. This evening we tease you with one of

the cutest creatures we have seen on the one show, not Alex or Karen.

Look away now mere cats, there's a new cuty in town.

I have come to Scotland to meet a lucky one show show couple who said

they had a family of pine martens living in their garden. The chance

to see such a rare animal and its babies, I couldn't resist. Lorna

left her family and friends in Essex to move to this idyllic spot

in Scotland. She has discovered a special recipe that entices these

rare guests into her garden. How did you discover you had pine

martens here?. By accident really, by putting out the mixture for the

red squirrels and then one evening an animal I thought was a ferret

appeared and they just came and they have been coming for two years.

It's not just the pine martens in the garden which are so exciting.

Lorna's husband has reason to believe a family have set up home

in the barn next door. The dog was barking madly, soy thought

something is behind here, I unscrewed the door, pulled out and

two pine martens up the end there and the little mum looking round

the corner at me, saying what's he doing. That is so incredible. We

can't see them, it is so tantalising. I am going to ask the

sound recorder to come in. (Scratching noises). We have heard

them behind the door. What I want to do is get a glimpse of the

babies. We will leave camera tracks to

capture the action and check on them later.

As dusk begins to fall, I join Lorna in her lounge to see if her

special recipe has done the trick. Come on my little pine martens,

What a beautiful animal. Just when I thought things couldn't get any

better. Not just one, but three pine martens. These opportunists

are taking advantage of the free food on offer but in the forest

beyond the house they are feeding on small mammals, insects, nuts and

berries. Forlorn that, these pine martens

hold a much deeper connection. is about how I feel about them and

how they give me pleasure, because I left my grandchildren behind.

They have replaced them. It is very emotional to me to see them.

can't quite believe the views of pine martens I have had this

evening, but there is one question left unanswered. Have our cameras

captured any footage of the babies in Robert's work shop. The moment

You were right, that they were coming in and out of that whole.

Close examination of our footage revealed there was a mum and three

babies living in there. One of them seems to be a little

more inquistive than its siblings. With more individuals feeding in

her garden, it is astonishing the abundance of pine martens here at

Lorna and Robert's farm. Let's not forget that they are one

of Britain's rarest mammals and I have seen no less than seven of

them in the last 24 hours. What a treat to have in your back garden.

How cute are they. They are 70 miles from your house. That's

amazing. I have never seen one before, but I would like to be one.

You almost are. You are the same kind of shape. Yes. Tall and skinny

and cute. When I heard we had a film about birds. They sound like

another bird. These cute things come on and they won me over. You

don't see these very often. This is a Tom Ilkston Dalek. 23-years-old,

cute in his own way! This is an Isabel Dalek. Very good. This is

Tom, he's 5, doing his best impression. It is very basic but he

had a go. Also the key thing about that is that his photograph arrived

before our printer broke down. They are the only three we've got. The

one show printer has broken down. It's all the hot weather. Even as

we speak our Paralympians are going for gold and among them a very

special human being, a soldier who was condemned to a body bag having

been declared dead. He's definitely not dead any more. Cheering him on

tonight will be the heroine behind the hero.

I met Derek at church, we fell in love and we got married. He had

always wanted to be in the military and listed in the year 2000 as an

infantry soldier. He was injured in 2007 in Afghanistan. He went out on

a morning patrol and he was Manning the machine gun on a jeep. They

reversed into a land mine that was concealed. It exploded and with it,

it took his legs right away. One came off immediately and the other

was left dangling. He was thrown 30 metres away from the explosion,

landed on rocks and he broke his spine and he had burns along his

left side. They amputated his leg that was left dangling. It was

devastating. In the hospital he was fighting for his life. I was by his

bedside and he was in a state of confusion. He asked me to take off

his shoes because he felt his foot were itchy. He kept insisting, so I

just had to take a picture of him to let him know what he looked like.

When I gave him the camera to show him what he looked like, he was

quiet for five minutes, and then after a long silence he looked at

the picture and he said, come closer to me and I moved closer to

him and he said let's just thank God I am alive. And let's move on

from here. He was taken to the medical rehabilitation centre. He

was determined to get on his feet. A month later he was walking on his

prosthetic legs. A year later he really wanted to get himself

involved in sport. He was told to just concentrate on the one, which

is discus and that is the event he will be participating in at the

Paralympics. Every moment for me has been proud, from that injury,

from that adversity, what we thought was a setback, it was a set

up for bigger and greater things. I am just thankful. Come on now and

the very best of luck to Derek who is about to compete as we speak.

Well done to all the Paralympians. All the names will be on our medals

and more added over the weekend. If you didn't believe our printer

broke down today for our call in, that is the moment our printer did
