Hello and welcome to The One Show with Count Baker. And Countess

:00:24.:00:29.

Jones. On a bona chilling Hallowe'en night, we need a guest

:00:29.:00:36.

to help warm things up. He he is not frightening, he isn't even that

:00:36.:00:40.

strange and hopefully it won't make any of us go bump in the night,

:00:40.:00:50.
:00:50.:00:55.

please enter Lenny Henry! Happy Hallowe'en! Happy Hallowe'en! There

:00:55.:01:01.

really did say, mind your coat as you go in there. A we have moved

:01:01.:01:10.

our studio outside. It's not our usual home. Talk about BBC cuts! It

:01:10.:01:16.

is disgraceful, what are we paying our licence fee on - give them a

:01:16.:01:23.

studio! There's a little as something on the side for you, if

:01:23.:01:32.

you fancy it. You can get more dressed up. In the meantime we will

:01:32.:01:37.

take a look at these, David Turner made these pumpkins earlier and he

:01:37.:01:42.

is working on at Lenny Henry creation as we speak. I am going to

:01:42.:01:48.

be in a pumpkin? I love the show! Where else could you be in a

:01:48.:01:54.

pumpkin! Where else could you get an audience like this? Look how

:01:54.:01:57.

scary they are. We would like to see you at home if you are dressed

:01:57.:02:03.

up in honour Hallowe'en costumes, get your foot rose to us. Lenny

:02:03.:02:11.

Henry it will pick his favour at a later on. We're also going to be

:02:11.:02:14.

talking about Lenny's new play by the man who brought us Hubble,

:02:14.:02:19.

bubble, toil and trouble. But before all that, Angelica Bell is

:02:19.:02:26.

hearing voices from be on the grave. Or is she?

:02:26.:02:29.

By the mid- 80 hundreds, the explosion of scientific research in

:02:29.:02:35.

many areas began to present serious challenges to age old certainties.

:02:35.:02:38.

At the same time, there was a growing interest in proving the

:02:38.:02:42.

existence of life after death. Spiritualism, the belief that we

:02:42.:02:46.

can contact the dead, developed a popular following in the United

:02:46.:02:51.

States. In the mid- 19th century, spiritualism was introduced into

:02:51.:02:56.

Britain from America. Right at the centre of Victorian spiritualism

:02:56.:02:59.

was the seance which seemed to offer practical evidence of contact

:02:59.:03:04.

with the after life in an almost scientific way. It attracted a wide

:03:04.:03:07.

range of intellectuals, public figures and scientists. In those

:03:08.:03:13.

days, this was a predominantly Christian society and everyone

:03:13.:03:17.

accepted life after death as a reality so when Darwin published in

:03:17.:03:23.

1859, the origin of the species, then this really caused huge

:03:23.:03:26.

disruption. Suddenly there was another explanation for how we got

:03:27.:03:31.

here and it didn't rely on us being got's special creation. Many of the

:03:31.:03:36.

great thinkers of the day were taken end by this brutalist

:03:36.:03:42.

movement. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and many schemas scientists.

:03:42.:03:47.

seances became more popular, audiences grew and so did this

:03:47.:03:57.
:03:57.:03:57.

potential for or strange behaviour. What was it about the sales that

:03:57.:04:02.

worked so well for Victorian mediums? I think they stumbled on a

:04:02.:04:06.

great formula for playing tricks on people's minds. You are in complete

:04:06.:04:09.

darkness, there is the fear associated with contacting the dead,

:04:09.:04:14.

so it is a wonderful setting for being filled. What was a Victorian

:04:14.:04:18.

seance really like and what we still be susceptible to their

:04:18.:04:23.

tricks today? The professor is going to recreate the seance and

:04:23.:04:27.

using basic tricks, he will try to fill our volunteers into believing

:04:27.:04:31.

they are witnessing a paranormal event. He begins by passing around

:04:31.:04:34.

objects of which he says he will used to channel the spirits. He

:04:34.:04:40.

lowers the lights and changes his boys. If you are there, we want you

:04:40.:04:47.

to make your presence known. To drift back through time and join us.

:04:47.:04:51.

It is absolutely terrifying in the dark. I cannot see a thing and I

:04:51.:04:55.

have no idea what will happen next. Suddenly, strange things start to

:04:55.:05:05.
:05:05.:05:05.

happen. Excellent! The ball appears to shoot up of the table and float

:05:05.:05:12.

around the room. There are sceptics here, show them the ball! Hang on a

:05:12.:05:22.
:05:22.:05:23.

minute, who is that in the corner? Drop the ball! A well-documented

:05:23.:05:27.

technique in fake seances was to hide an assistant who cannot be

:05:27.:05:33.

seen. The assistant hides behind the curtain bidding us to work out

:05:33.:05:39.

what has just happened. Did anyone believe there was a spread in

:05:39.:05:45.

there? Yes, it was very scary. you go in believing that these

:05:45.:05:50.

things are real, the effects would be very convincing. I do believe in

:05:50.:05:55.

the afterlife but I did also look for a string in the ball when it

:05:55.:06:00.

could be on the shoulders! But I couldn't find any. There are is no

:06:00.:06:03.

scientific evidence to suggest it is possible to contact the dead

:06:03.:06:05.

through the medium but some Victorians were drawn into

:06:05.:06:10.

believing that seances real just like those Victorians, our

:06:10.:06:13.

volunteers were equally susceptible to display a clever tricks and the

:06:13.:06:19.

dark. Before we judge the Victorians for their beliefs in

:06:19.:06:22.

spiritualism, we should put ourselves in their shoes and wonder,

:06:22.:06:32.

are we any better today than telling truth from fantasy?

:06:32.:06:36.

It is really strange that through that film, that light started

:06:36.:06:41.

flashing with no help from anyone, that is incredible. Oh, for

:06:41.:06:48.

goodness sake! He is just joining in with the spread of the programme.

:06:48.:06:52.

Before we talk about your new Shakespeare play, let's talk about

:06:52.:06:58.

your new comedy special, The One Lenny, coming up soon. That was

:06:58.:07:08.
:07:08.:07:08.

just a firework. We're alright! OK, carry on. Yes, The One Lenny is a

:07:09.:07:18.
:07:19.:07:21.

comedy programme. I think Jasper Carrot is doing one and mind is on

:07:21.:07:25.

later this year. I do some old characters, some new characters and

:07:25.:07:31.

we believe we are going to see a clip from something special. It is

:07:31.:07:38.

a spoof of twilight with a guest appearance from Ronnie Ancona.

:07:38.:07:43.

You are impossibly strong, her eyes change colour and sometimes you

:07:43.:07:47.

speak as if you are from a different world. Europe skin is

:07:47.:07:56.

pale white, yet black! I know where you're from. Go on? You are from

:07:56.:08:06.

Birmingham. Is it that obvious! Brilliant! My daughter loves

:08:06.:08:11.

twilight so that was for her. now has a blood dripping from his

:08:11.:08:16.

lips. That is very apt for Shakespeare because you are now in

:08:16.:08:22.

a second Shakespeare play? Yes, I am doing a comedy of errors at the

:08:22.:08:27.

National Theatre. We still have week for at rehearsals. There are

:08:27.:08:32.

26 of us in the cast. We're on a massive stage so they are making us

:08:32.:08:38.

run around a lot. I have to go to the gym every day to keep fit and

:08:38.:08:42.

we have lots of students in their pants eating crisps and I am

:08:42.:08:46.

working really hard but every morning, I am there to try and keep

:08:46.:08:52.

up with these young people on the show. It is called the Comedy of

:08:52.:08:58.

Errors, is it funny even today? writing is 400 years and it is

:08:58.:09:02.

incredibly resonant. It is all about money and credit and it is

:09:02.:09:06.

set in modern-day London. It is about transplanting people from one

:09:06.:09:11.

culture to another and it is about two sets of twins looking for each

:09:11.:09:15.

other and not finding it other until the very end. There are lots

:09:15.:09:25.
:09:25.:09:27.

of cases of false identity. It is a wonderful play, there is lots of

:09:27.:09:33.

laughter in rehearsals and we are enjoying it. You could get a jumbo

:09:33.:09:38.

jet in the rehearsal room, it is extraordinary. We start in mid-

:09:38.:09:44.

November and it is going to be on until March. Very exciting.

:09:44.:09:48.

Comedy Of Errors starts on 22nd November at the National Theatre in

:09:48.:09:55.

London and look out for The One Lenny which is on later this year.

:09:55.:10:00.

At a television set near you, viewers! Also coming up his

:10:00.:10:04.

Children in Need night on 18th November and to help raise money

:10:04.:10:07.

for disadvantaged children across the UK, I will be pedalling from

:10:07.:10:12.

Edinburgh to London on a rickshaw. Why are you doing that? To raise

:10:12.:10:21.

money. Of course. On a rickshaw? Will you be wearing a hat?

:10:21.:10:28.

hammered for most of it, I think. It is going to require blood,

:10:28.:10:38.
:10:38.:10:42.

sweat... Just say the lines. Here is much in training. Mad has been

:10:42.:10:48.

training incredibly hard but things are a got -- about to get tougher.

:10:48.:10:53.

I know it is a very different experience from a normal bike and

:10:53.:10:58.

today is the first day I will get a chance to ride at. Here she is then,

:10:58.:11:07.

the beauty. Gavin will be putting mad through his paces. You can see

:11:07.:11:12.

how quickly it turns around. feels like a circus vehicle. With a

:11:12.:11:18.

passenger, it will weigh up to 25 stone, the equivalent of a female

:11:18.:11:24.

grizzly bear but Pudsey Bear will do for starters! Matt's children

:11:24.:11:31.

are here to see him off. Today, he is attempting at Trent mile

:11:31.:11:34.

training as a put it on the challenge he will be doing up to 70

:11:34.:11:42.

miles a day. You got it stages, some are mountain stages. It is

:11:42.:11:47.

like a mini Tour de France. Downhill is brilliant, we are

:11:47.:11:54.

hitting 15 miles an hour. But it is not downhill for long. Oh! Even

:11:54.:12:01.

this, it's hardly a hill. Matt will face over 60 Hills during the days.

:12:01.:12:06.

Added together, they are nearly as high as Mount Everest. O'Grady,

:12:06.:12:12.

another hill. His highest hill will be in County Durham, an

:12:13.:12:17.

excruciating five mile uphill Croll it will take nearly one art.

:12:17.:12:25.

thought of doing 80 miles a day, it is awful. The fatigue will build

:12:25.:12:30.

and that is when even the smaller hills it all seemed big. Much will

:12:30.:12:35.

also have to carry extra weight. How will he do with his first

:12:35.:12:45.
:12:45.:12:48.

passenger? We are actually going slower than a walking pace. From

:12:48.:12:53.

Ikea, I can't take in the use of the English countryside. It has

:12:53.:12:57.

taken up Matt three hours to do just 10 miles. At this rate, is

:12:57.:13:01.

going to have to cycle 24 hours a day to complete the journey from

:13:01.:13:06.

Edinburgh to London. In mid- November, it will be cold, wet and

:13:06.:13:13.

very dark. The sheer scale of it is finally dawning on that. I know how

:13:13.:13:17.

horrendous it will be when I'm going up the hill and you just have

:13:17.:13:21.

to prepare yourself for that and take one step at a time were one

:13:21.:13:27.

tiny cycle at a time. It will be hard work, painful, but I'll do my

:13:27.:13:35.

best, that's all I can do. To support Matt's rickshaw

:13:35.:13:45.
:13:45.:13:59.

Heavy going number Lenny Henry? I had a surprise for you, I've got

:13:59.:14:09.
:14:09.:14:10.

the amount you have raised so far. �$41.60 Sana'a and 23.

:14:10.:14:16.

Congratulations! Thank you so much for your donations and keep them

:14:16.:14:26.
:14:26.:14:31.

Trick or treat! Right, trick or treat. Let's turn the telly off.

:14:31.:14:39.

Hello, you lot. How are things? we don't want tricks, do we Matt?

:14:39.:14:46.

But Lenny has lots of treats, so, Peter, how will you scare us.

:14:46.:14:53.

tell a scary jokes. Why don't mummies take holidays? Why? They

:14:54.:15:03.
:15:04.:15:07.

Now, how are you going to scare Henny? I am going to give him a

:15:07.:15:11.

scary face. OK, look into the camera and pull

:15:11.:15:15.

your scary face. Terrifying! Very good.

:15:15.:15:19.

Go on, get yourself a treat. You deserve one for that. Now, then,

:15:19.:15:27.

Freddie, what are you going to do? I'm going to howl, like a wolf.

:15:27.:15:29.

Very good! Brilliant stuff. Thank you very much.

:15:29.:15:33.

Now, then, of course, Hallowe'en would not be Hallowe'en without

:15:33.:15:38.

scary sounds. Of course! There they are.

:15:38.:15:43.

Argh! Now, then, these guys are showing us how some of the earie

:15:43.:15:49.

tunes are created for the movies, but first, Carrie Grant has been

:15:49.:15:59.
:15:59.:16:02.

finding out why some chords lead to dischord! These surroundings at

:16:02.:16:06.

King's College Chapel in London are magnificent, but that music is

:16:06.:16:09.

setting my teeth on edge. And that's because of something

:16:09.:16:19.

known as the the devil's chord! This arrangement of notes which

:16:19.:16:23.

when combined sound unsettling appeared in the scariest sequence

:16:23.:16:33.
:16:33.:16:35.

in the scariest film ever made. Argh! And the devil's chord is

:16:35.:16:41.

reckoned by some to be at the heart of what gives heavy metal music its

:16:41.:16:49.

unique appeal. Indeed, Black Sabbath's Osie Osbourne remembers

:16:49.:16:55.

it having a great effect on their audience.

:16:55.:17:01.

P would scare people out. We probably here the devil's chord

:17:01.:17:08.

used as an accompaniment to drama, whether it is on stage, cinema or

:17:08.:17:17.

television. Sam Watts writes music for TV. He uses the devil's chord

:17:17.:17:22.

to write the characters for the Dr Who spin-off.

:17:22.:17:26.

We had a Charles Kennedy called Spelman who dressed up as a

:17:26.:17:30.

ringmaster. There is something about those

:17:30.:17:34.

melodies that sound slightly wrong, almost? It is funny to use that

:17:34.:17:39.

word wrong in music, but it does sound wrong? Yes, because I think

:17:39.:17:44.

that the devil's chord is not a traditional harm ony it does sway

:17:44.:17:50.

things to feeling slightly wrong. So, what exactly is the devil's

:17:51.:17:56.

chord? It got its name after tales that the medieval church would

:17:56.:18:04.

excommunicate musicians that used I need an expert to explain the

:18:04.:18:09.

musical technicalities. Professor John Deathridge knows it by its

:18:09.:18:13.

proper flame. The interval is the distorlted

:18:13.:18:17.

version of the five-note scale. Which then if you lower the top

:18:17.:18:23.

note it becomes... The devil's interval. That does not sound too

:18:23.:18:31.

threatening, however if you do it like this... It sounds more

:18:31.:18:36.

sinister. So, give examples of it being used

:18:36.:18:42.

in music? One of the best examples is in The Ring by Wagner. He

:18:42.:18:46.

created one of the most evil characters, the way he did it was

:18:46.:18:56.
:18:56.:18:58.

to give him the devil's interval. That does sound sufficiently eeily,

:18:58.:19:08.
:19:08.:19:24.

doesn't it? It does. Oh! Pure evil! It's evil and

:19:24.:19:29.

splendid at the same time! I don't know about that! Much of the evil

:19:29.:19:33.

power of the devil's chord is because of its association with

:19:33.:19:40.

scary stuff. For example in Hollywood tpw you

:19:40.:19:47.

wanted a -- if you wanted a film with Boris Karloff in it, you would

:19:47.:19:52.

use this music. The interval can be used for a

:19:52.:19:56.

benign reason, it can be the most beautiful sound in the world. The

:19:56.:20:06.
:20:06.:20:09.

famous song, Maria. But despite friendly uses of the

:20:09.:20:18.

devil's chord, it has not lost its power to unnerve and unsettle.

:20:18.:20:27.

Don't have nightmares... Will you?! Well, as we mentioned before that

:20:27.:20:34.

film, we have Kevin and James from the Purcell Music School in

:20:34.:20:38.

Hertfordshire, they are here to create some bold chilling sounds.

:20:38.:20:42.

You have a variety of instruments, James is, we hope, playing dead

:20:42.:20:46.

here. So, what have you got there, Kevin?

:20:46.:20:51.

We thought we would go to the disused oil refinery. It is big,

:20:51.:20:58.

dirty, smelly, slippery, and, Matt... We're going in! Fair enough.

:20:59.:21:08.
:21:09.:21:10.

Oh! That is earie. Oh, gosh! Then! Right? The awful

:21:10.:21:18.

moment... The hanging! Oh, I felt a chill in my bottom area then.

:21:18.:21:24.

Then he wakes up the assistant to give us some wind through the

:21:24.:21:34.
:21:34.:21:34.

broken window. Come on, James.

:21:34.:21:44.

What about that? Horror of horrors, she falls! I'll get that

:21:44.:21:48.

I'll get that, don't worry. This is supposed to be serious!

:21:48.:21:53.

Sorry, I was interpretting the door bell! Very good. Thank you very

:21:53.:22:00.

much. Are you awake now? Alive? Now, voices from the depths of your

:22:00.:22:06.

rubbish bin! No! Oh, yes. Phil Tufnell has been finding out

:22:06.:22:11.

about a new way to exercise the litter-throwing demon that may lurk

:22:11.:22:20.

inside of you. Getting popular celebrities of the

:22:20.:22:26.

day to sing about the virtues of throwing away your rubbish is not

:22:26.:22:30.

new. Nice T-shirts, guys.

:22:30.:22:39.

Rubbish! But being sung to when you do it is something different all

:22:39.:22:47.

together. Introducing the new singing,

:22:47.:22:54.

talking and even burping bins! When you chuck a can into one of these

:22:54.:22:59.

fellows mouths there is a recorded greeting from a celebrity.

:23:00.:23:05.

It may be Amanda Holden. I'm Amanda Holden that was rubbish!

:23:05.:23:11.

Or Kenny Logan. Or, even me! That was straight in! Every year we drop

:23:12.:23:16.

more than 30 tonnes of litter on our streets. The cost of what we

:23:16.:23:21.

throw out of our pockets will be hitting us as the council spends

:23:21.:23:24.

over �855 million per year cleaning up after us.

:23:24.:23:29.

Collette has been working on the talking bins campaign. She thing it

:23:29.:23:32.

is is time to get tough on the littler bugs.

:23:32.:23:37.

In New York, where I am from, if you drop litter, 20 people will tap

:23:37.:23:42.

you on the shoulder and tell you not to do that. You can travel for

:23:42.:23:48.

a month in Manhattan and almost see none, but in this capital city, you

:23:48.:23:51.

can walk 20 steps before encountering the next piece of

:23:51.:23:54.

litter. Who should be blamed? Well, I

:23:54.:23:58.

really think we have to blame the councils. The answer is not having

:23:58.:24:04.

more street cleaners, it is time for the councils to slap on some

:24:04.:24:09.

fines. We are issues people with fixed penalty notes, which is like

:24:09.:24:13.

a parking fine. We would rather warn people to ask them to pick it

:24:13.:24:17.

up themselves and ask them not to do it again.

:24:17.:24:22.

OK it is time to come clean, I have a vested interest. If you come down

:24:22.:24:27.

here and use this bin in Soho, you will be in for a Phil Tufnell

:24:27.:24:31.

surprise! Having a recorded message is one thing, but wigging up one

:24:31.:24:38.

that talks back, now that sounds more fun! -- but rigging one up

:24:38.:24:42.

that talks back, that is so much more fun.

:24:42.:24:47.

Thank you very much for putting your rubbish in the bin. Hello,

:24:47.:24:51.

what is your name? Mark. Do you think there should be more

:24:51.:24:56.

bins in London? Yeah! You know what you have made it when you are the

:24:56.:25:02.

voice of a rubbish bin. Help! I'm in the bin! Help! Hello, boys!

:25:02.:25:07.

Where are you going? Stay for a while, have a chat. Don't go! I

:25:08.:25:12.

need rubbish. I'm hungry. Hello, are you having a good day? Yeah.

:25:12.:25:16.

Do you think there are enough rubbish bins in London?

:25:16.:25:21.

Should we have more on the street corners and stuff? Definitely.

:25:21.:25:25.

Talking bins may be the hi-tech way to solve the problem, but some

:25:25.:25:31.

people prefer the good old fashioned way, just pick it up. Tim

Barnes was so annoyed about the state of the litter around his home,

:25:35.:25:39.

he began to pick it up himself and set up a website to encourage

:25:39.:25:43.

others to do the same. We are betting to the limit to what

:25:43.:25:49.

the council can do. It is easy, it takes 15 pins -- minutes to pick up

:25:49.:25:53.

the litter on my street. I don't see why others don't do that.

:25:53.:25:58.

Education and direct action are a way of tackling our nation's litter

:25:58.:26:01.

problem, but I still like my talking bin.

:26:01.:26:07.

Oi, it is the talking bin here. Anyone got anything to eat. I'm

:26:07.:26:12.

feeling hungry. Hello, do you think we need more talking bins?

:26:12.:26:16.

definitely think so. Especially in areas like this.

:26:16.:26:20.

It is a bit of social conscious? Yeah, we should be proud of it.

:26:20.:26:27.

Yeah, keeping the country tidy. Yeah, keep Britain tidy, alright!

:26:27.:26:32.

So, lots of characters, Lenny, you have had 30 years in the business

:28:14.:28:18.

if you could choose one character, what is your favourite? It would

:28:18.:28:22.

have to be Delbert Wilkins. It started off as a character talking

:28:22.:28:31.
