31/08/2016 The One Show

Hello and welcome to the One Show with Bill Turnbull And Alex Jones.

Our guest tonight is comedian, John Bishop.

APPLAUSE Now, John got into the Olympic spirit on his summer

holidays this year after he got diving training from Tom Daley.

Let's see how it went. This is his signature dive. I don't know. I

thought it was beautiful. Y. Yes. Let's see it again. Arms flapping,

belly flop. Big splash. Biggest splash. We are waiting. Here come

the judges' marks. APPLAUSE

Amazing. It's a huge score for a great guest, John Bishop, everybody.

Come on over. Hello John, how are you? Very good, thank you. John,

tell us, what was going through your mind as you were about to dive

there? Well, what was going through my mind was - should I jump or

should I dive? I changed my mind halfway through. Never a good idea.

I did a bit of both. Something in there I think, in all honesty, could

become a sport on its own. Not sure which sport, it will become one. We

have the proof that you did have training from Tom. Here you are.

Yes. Are you sucking in there I said to Tom, will up stop breathing in,

Tom. You're OK. How long can you hold your breath for like that? As

long as it takes for that picture to happen. John has been trying out his

diving skills this summer but also honing his interview technique for

his first chat We will give show. You the opportunity to try out your

interview technique on our music guests, One Republic. Here they are.

# Baby, I've been losing sleep # Dreaming about the things that we

could be # Baby, I've been

# I've been praying hard # So we're not counting dollars

# We'll be counting stars. That's their huge hit,

Counting Stars, of course, which has racked up over a billion

views on YouTube. They'll be playing new single,

Kids, live for us later. John, your challenge is to ask them

a question they've never I could ask them anything, could I?

Who was my maths teacher? Not that sort of question. Relevant

questions? Exactly. We all want to hear the answers too. Who was your

maths teacher? I'm not telling you. I'm saving it tor another show. Good

luck. We'll see you later. With a report today finding that

a third of us haven't seen a police officer on the beat in the past

year, there are fewer visible signs But if you know where to look,

there's more going Media City UK in Salford, a

development of offices, shops, restaurants and entertainment. This

summer, hundreds gathered here daily to watch the Games in Rio on the big

screen. But in the wake of recent terrorist incidents, like the lorry

attack in Nice, just how safe do people feel in public places? I

think the events of recent years have made me more nervous in open

spaces. It's at the back of my mind all the Very close to time. Home. It

does make you fear. A lot of things do happen. You can't guarantee when

they're going to happen. They are out of your control. Since the

Glasgow Airport attack in 2007, effort has gone into protecting

public places from terrorists in vehicles. Concrete blocks, fences

and bollards were added to protect peopled and buildings. In recent

years there has been a shift in approach to barriers that not only

keep people safe, but are more discreet and blend in with the

spaces. They are designed to protect without being object truetive. Have

they been successful? We decided to carry out a little experiment and

rounded up 12 locals to see if they can spot the protections built in

here at Media City. You are split into three teams. Go off and

identify as many security elements around this place as you possibly

can. OK? Is off you go. Watching over proceedings is former head of

the national counter terrorism security office, Chris Phillips, he

believes we're well ahead of our European neighbours when it comes to

protecting our public pace spaces. We learnt from mistakes. You don't

need to build a huge barrier. If you can slow the vehicle down on its

approach. Simple things, such as road layouts, whether you put in a

chicane to stop a vehicle getting speed up can stop a terrorist atact.

It's thinking creatively? Very. So. You should look at physical

security measures, in iconic sites and places with responsibility to

look after people. In Bradford, the council embraced exactly this

security by design approach when it undertook a multi-million-pound

redevelopment of the city centre. Stephen provided.

Of the new look security. How has the approach to security changed

when it comes to design as an architect? The idea is we mitigate

that right at the design stage and make sure you have the appropriate

measures. What examples are around here? Street furniture, seating and

planters. It's not just something which provides a seat or a planting

solution. For vehicles to come into this, it would stop it upon impact

and protect the pedestrians using the space. As thises test footage

shows, new technology allows street furniture to inconsider rain a

reinforced inner core which will stop a truck in its tracks. People

need to feel secure, but welcomed into a space. People should not walk

around a space thinking - why am I being protected. They should know

that comes as standard. In Media City our teams have noticed some of

the hidden security features. We have the theed lots of things.

Things maybe we wouldn't have noticed before. The walls are a

future. I see things in a different light. By the shopping centre, Team

Two spot something they have not noticed before. The steps up to

here, it would slow down any vehicle. You don't notice it. It

drops into the background. Team Three have had their eyes opened,

too. Et sooing areas are very solid, well built structures. Our towns are

cities are using creative ways to protect us against hostile vehicle

attacks. What about armed attackers on foot? There is no such thing as

100% security, what we can do is make sure that people are aware what

they should do if they are confronted by either a terrorist or

a criminal. Most businesses have fire drills. They should have drills

for other potential scenarios. You need to practice it. If you don't

practice it, no-one will know what to do. Time is up for our teams. The

exercise has opened their eyes to the security that surrounds us. I'm

not going to go anywhere again without looking at it in a different

light. Reassuring to know people have given it a lot of thought.

Generally, I feel a lot safer. You are being looked after and the

security is really high. You don't even notice it. With security

features designed into public spaces so we barely notice them we are free

to enjoy them without a thought as to what they might be protecting us

from. From me, that's the way it should be. Nick is here with more.

Subtle counter terrorist designs there I have some more. This was in

London outside the Arsenal stadium the Emirates. The cannon symbols of

Arsenal on the club crest, they would stop a seven tonne truck from

driving through into that space where crowds would be. If you want

to see what a seven tonne truck looks like crashing into a solid

bollard. There you go. What a heck of a mess. Oh, dear. Arsenal fans,

if you wondered what that big concrete sign saying "Arsenal" in

huge lettering outside your stadium, guess what it does as well as

telling you where you are in case you have forgotten which stadium you

are at. It would stop a seven tonne truck. Never thought about that. We

saw what the American Embassy looks like, the fortifications around it.

This is the proposed American Embassy in wands worst. You can see

on the site of it a moat. Inspiration from the dark ages

there. -- Wandsworth. It's more like a pond. I don't think the designer

would thank you for calling it a pond. Thank you.

John you were born in Liverpool. What is the best way to get in there

to Goole in Yorkshire. M62, go along the M62, around about Huddersfield

or Halifax, turn right. I only know because I played football there

loads of time. Interesting answer, the wrong one. Not what we are

looking for. Think again, John. Sorry, Bill. Think of great

achievements in exploration. To the great achievements

in exploration, such as the discovery of the North West

Passage and the opening of the Suez Canal,

Andy Torbet can now add this: It's a waterway that splits England

in two and yes, John, it starts OK. The Liverpool canal is the

longest waterway in Britain. This year it's celebrating its 200th

anniversary. The canal links up with others linking the west and east

coast of England. I'm planning to complete the whole thing in a kayak.

Starting in Liverpool, I will head up towards the Yorkshire Dales,

reaching Leeds, I will paddle along the and-a-half caution to the

finishing point at the port of Goole by the North Sea. This journey has

never been completed before in I kayak in one go, as far as I know. I

reckon it will take me a week as I stop to discover the secrets of the

canal's past and present and what makes Britain's waterways so

special. Setting off from the centre of Liverpool, the first person I

meet is Greg Brooks from the Kraal and River Trust. He is developing

this journey to become the longest canoe route in England. Called the

Desmond Family Canoe Trail. What can I expect? You will come across a

diverse range of environments. You will go through towns and cities.

You will be out in the middle of know where and feel quite expose and

lonely. You will come across the man made hazards frt canal, swing

bridges, come across the loughs. You will see an awful lot. As I get on

my way, immediately I come across quite a few obstacles, like this

abandoned boat. Right, we have quite a low swing bridge. I reckon I can

get underneath it. Well, we're under. Well, we're not quite

through. Success. Although, I might have a

few spiders in my hair. The canal is a fascinating window into Britain's

industrial past. Plus, the his storic challenges and dangers we

faced. During World War II this canal played and important part in

British defences against foreign invasion. The land around here is

flat and open, ideal for landing paratroopers or crossing over in

tanks. The canal was the perfect antitank ditch. The banks were lined

with fortified pill boxes, like this one. You can imagine the men of the

Home Guard in here looking out towards the horizon, watching,

waiting for the enemy tanks to come. The threat never came, luckily. It's

good to know we were prepared. For me, the first big challenge is not

too far away. I came round that last corner and it looked like someone

had built a wall across the canal. Actually, it was this. On my journey

I'm going to come across over 100 loughs, kayaks are not allowed in

them. So, each one I will have to get out and walk around. Some places

are tougher than others. As I arrive in Wigan, I'm faced with a serious

of loughs called the Wigan Flight. The waterways manager joined me.

21loucghs covering two-and-a-half miles a rise of 214 feet. That is

why they were there, to carry boats up the flight to get over rising

levels. Up hill all the way. Up hill all the way. How long does it take a

boat to get through? A good day's work. 15 minutes each. A lot of

boats will share. They save water for us and work together and have a

great social time and they split the work. I have a small lightweight

trolley I can haul my kayak rather than carry it. I can go faster than

the narrow boots as I'm on foot. It takes me over an hour to get to the

top. Well, it wasn't actually too bad. I'm looking forward to getting

back on the water. There are stunning sites and obstacles up

ahead. It gets even better tomorrow. Andy paddles across a motorway. Do

you know you can do that? It's against the law!

John, your youngest is going off to university so that should allow you

more times for your hobby. You like to kayak? Have you seen the

programme with Timothy West... I love that programme. That will be me

in a couple of years. Let's get on a boat. Me and my wife love it. A big

change in your telly career before we get to the Canal because you are

now doing a chat show. A chat show with a difference. You were just

saying you have a lot of time to talk to these people. Do you see it?

It is one person for an hour, different than the usual traditional

chat show, it is a chat about someone's life, a full conversation.

Note preset questions, I haven't got questions lined up, we sit and talk

and see how it goes. Your first guest is James Corden, here's what

he told you about his up winning. You were a Salvation Army family.

That is true. You played the cornet. The truth is no matter how you grow

up, the surroundings you grow up you think is normal, however you grow up

you just presume that is what everybody... There is nothing weird,

but we are putting a uniform on and marching through the Tyne with a

trumpet. Completely natural. I look back now and think of what were we

doing? That is ridiculous. APPLAUSE

That is something we never knew about, James Corden. There is a lot

of your mates in a way on the show, is it easier or harder... James is

probably and Freddie... The closest mates that I have on the show and

the truth is, you can have mates but you don't interview your mates, do

you? Tell me about your relationship with your dad... That never happens.

And with this, it allowed me an opportunity, I suppose to ask the

questions I've always wanted to. You've done ten interviews so far,

what surprise you most? How easy it was. Don't give it away! I tell you

why. I was quite insistent I wanted to cut down, one person, didn't want

questions on card and anyone talking to me in my ear. I wanted to be a

conversation and everyone thought, that would be odd, one person for an

hour and every person was so comfortable to talk it was a joy. I

said to everyone, I've been having conversations all my life, I've been

practising for this for ages. You've done very well. Bill and I know that

interviews can go wrong. A bit payer, will... Your worst

experience? Not you... You are just lovely. I've had a view that they

don't really like to think about. There was one with a slightly

irascible celebrity chef that I said but the one that stood out for me I

almost came to blows with a parental address's dummy, his name was bored

and he was buried route but you know what happened? I put him back in his

box. -- he was very rude. We want to see how you would have handled some

of these interviews. Sir Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman talking

about the new film. The thing about this movie we do tricks but I mean,

these are the biggest magic tricks you've ever seen in any movie, they

are gigantic. Not only is it that, they then in the movie show you how

it was done without CGI. Morgan obviously off in the land of nod.

What would you have done? Actually... They let morgan rest for

a while and a minute later this happen. I had to learn card tricks

from a magician and the church in this... To be fair, when they are on

the treadmill, they've done a lot of travelling. It was early in the

morning. How about this, this is a dishevelled and uncooperative

whacking Phoenix being interviewed by David Letterman. That must have

own great working with Isabella Rossellini. Yes. Any fun stories?

Laughter-macro I have had an interview like that one spot what

would you do? What would I do? I think carry on. I would tell him my

fun stories with Isabella Rossellini. But he handled it really

well. This is what happened. I'm sorry you couldn't be here

tonight... So later the actor said it was performance art. What did you

think? I think that the great thing, you can get out of any situation by

ignoring people, and say, sorry, this is performance art, I wasn't

being rude. The best way to do a difficult interview is on tape.

Pre-recorded. Sorry, the old-fashioned way. And make it look

great. You can't do that with this. But you can and you did. I can do

anything! We could end up on a clip show for and I start wrestling with

you on the floor now. I would love to see that. Sadly, we haven't got

time. You can see things going right on John's new show, John Bishop In

Conversation With.... And John it's almost

time for One Republic. First, here's Gyles in an artist's

studio where smoking indoors On the 2nd of September 1666 a

raging fire swept through the City of London. Thousands of people were

left homeless, their lives literally up in smoke. It's hard to imagine

the chaos that the great fire would have caused in London and 350 years

on we have commissioned a fitting tribute to commemorate this

momentous event, a work of art created entirely out of smoke and

fire. Up and coming Stockport artist Neil Higdon is a rare specimen. He

is one of only a handful of professional smoke artists in the

world. Entirely self-taught he creates extraordinary images using

just smoke and class. These distinctive suit pictures sell in

galleries across the country. The One Show commission is the biggest

piece he's ever attempted. The glass is tilted on an easel for the

smoking to begin. Don't try this at home. The image is going to be St

Paul's cathedral in old St Paul's, roughly the centre of the peace.

When did you get the idea? When I was young. I discovered an artist in

the late district who worked with this method and I couldn't

understand how it was done and I thought I am going to try this art

form, had never seen anything like it and so I did, I turned my hand to

it and slowly I got to grips with it. Smoke rises on the class leaving

its mark in the form of super carbon, the basis of the unusual

work. No constructs his images by building layer on layer of smoke to

create the different features of the paintings. Neil has kindly agreed to

let this amateur have a go. It's harder than it looks. Try not to

touch the wick on the class, its darker. That is rather exciting.

Move on that corner... If you get carried away, suddenly, you have

shattered the glass. Once Neil has the foundation for his painting he

creates the pick by delicately scraping away the suit to form the

image. He has had to improvise with his tools using brochures, feathers

and even kebabs cure is for fine detail. It's beginning to take

shape, this is clearly the River Thames and here we have the smoke,

the flames rising around the old St Paul's Cathedral. We do. To give

depth to the picture it nearly keeps adding more smoke. This will give me

long strokes, so you can use it like a brush, in a way, this is good for

the sky. For instance... Yes... Neil lets us in on a secret trick he

developed using blue tack. That blocks it out so the dark... Will be

all around, all around, so you have a halo of light, this process will

be done four or five times to build up the layers of smoke. See how that

looks. Oh... There is the Moon. A piece of glass and a candle, you can

achieve all sorts. You can, you can recreate the Great Fire of London.

Neil has put in more than 60 hours of rain staking work and finally,

his delicate masterpiece is complete. And it's time to admire

his handiwork. Congratulations. I think it's completely magnificent,

really is extraordinary. Thank you. It is brilliant. Quite unlike

anything else, it is not paint, charcoal, it is a unique thing and

the marks it makes our unique. I think you should be proud of it,

it's a wonderful commemoration of a real fire 350 years ago and it feels

real. Magnificent, isn't it? It looks phenomenal. Time to show off

your interviewing techniques, John, a limited amount of time. One

question that Ryan has never been asked, the floor is yours. I have

loads because I am a big fan but the one question you'd never been asked,

what is the name of my mathematics teacher? OK... I got this, I got

this. Mr Pearson! He has got it! Can you believe it? Another quick one,

20 seconds. Of all the places you played in the UK, what is your

favourite venue? Oh, my God, the O2, that was the best for us. Wembley

was good too. You have and alienating anyone, he loves you in

Liverpool, Manchester... Ryan, off you go, we can't wait to hear your

perform. John, thank you. You can see more of John's interviewing

skills every Thursday. Tomorrow we celebrate

the return of Poldark, as stars Eleanor Tomlinson

and Jack Farthing will tell us Now with the first UK

performance of their new single # But we were reaching,

reaching for the rafters. # And on most of the days

we were searching for ways to get up # And get out of the town

that we were raised. # Yeah, cuz we were done I remember,

We were sleeping in cars # We were searching for OZ

we were burning cigars # With the white plastic tips

til we saw the sun... # And we said crazy things

like I refuse to look back # thinking

days were better just # I don't know what's

round the corner. # I swear we'll never change

Back when we were kids # Swore we would never die

You and me were kids # Changing all our plans and making

every day a holiday. # Feel the years start burning,

The city lights they're turning, # But something 'bout

this feels the same. # Back when we were kids,

Swore we would never die. # I refuse to look back thinking

days were better # Just because they're 'younger

days' # I don't know what's

'round the corner. APPLAUSE
