:00:16. > :00:20.Hello and welcome to Halloween here on the One Show
:00:21. > :00:25.And Alex have you just been electrocuted?
:00:26. > :00:45.Joining us later, the scarily successful and terrifyingly talented
:00:46. > :00:51.Don't worry, I've got an ear out for the door.
:00:52. > :00:54.Our first guest is a comedian, singer and host of one of the most
:00:55. > :00:57.popular game shows on TV, but he's certainly not Pointless
:00:58. > :01:10.It's the devilishly handsome Alexander Armstrong!
:01:11. > :01:22.Happy Halloween. I would never have known it was you. You did not, we
:01:23. > :01:31.were sitting in the corridor and you did not know us. You have been like
:01:32. > :01:36.that all day. A beautiful green. We could pay you up in the next film
:01:37. > :01:43.you have got four boys. Are they at trick or treating? Yes, they are.
:01:44. > :01:48.We'll be sitting guarding the treats. The doorbell, that will be
:01:49. > :01:53.We're looking for people who go to Halloween Extremes -
:01:54. > :01:56.those who embrace it all lock, stock and barrel when it comes
:01:57. > :02:00.And those who hate Halloween and are happy to be the only
:02:01. > :02:02.one at the party not wearing something spooky.
:02:03. > :02:05.Whichever you are, send us your photos, label them either
:02:06. > :02:13.Fright Fan or Halloween Humbug, and we'll show some later.
:02:14. > :02:21.That is Petula. She is not here yet. Evidently. She will be here very
:02:22. > :02:26.Now, ghosts and ghouls are one thing, but if it's
:02:27. > :02:27.spine-tingling fear you're after, try standing
:02:28. > :02:34.She's known affectionately as Attila The Nun and she's back
:02:35. > :02:37.on our screens this week on a mission to transform her
:02:38. > :02:50.Currently housed in Manchester, one of Britain's most deprived
:02:51. > :02:54.neighbourhoods. Here unemployment is at an all-time high and local
:02:55. > :03:00.businesses are long gone. But Sister Rita is not giving up on it. We are
:03:01. > :03:07.trying to make it easier for the people in Colley Hurst who are
:03:08. > :03:10.struggling. And none for 51 years, she runs a community centre where
:03:11. > :03:20.locals come for advice on money and benefit troubles, or to visit the
:03:21. > :03:24.food bank. Are you still talking? And with the community centre well
:03:25. > :03:33.on control, she has plans for the wider community. This square, what a
:03:34. > :03:37.mess. One by one, each of these shops has closed down, leaving just
:03:38. > :03:43.the food bank and a cafe struggling to survive. There is nothing here.
:03:44. > :03:50.There is no petrol station, opposed office, there is a sadness in me as
:03:51. > :03:56.I come around here. The council plans to demolish the shops within
:03:57. > :04:00.two years, but for Sister Rita they are wasted opportunity. She wants to
:04:01. > :04:05.see them back in business and this bustling community again. What we
:04:06. > :04:10.are trying to bring back is a little bit of spark, maybe we will never
:04:11. > :04:16.bring it back completely, but at least create a community, that is
:04:17. > :04:20.what we want to do here. The shops are very important to the people who
:04:21. > :04:26.live around and about, especially the elderly. Everyone would like
:04:27. > :04:32.local shops. The council are on board. It is an opportunity for you
:04:33. > :04:39.to meet a need in the community. And she is excited when she gets inside.
:04:40. > :04:47.Blimey, I cannot believe this! This is unbelievable. This is brilliant.
:04:48. > :04:52.We could have storage in here. It is absolutely brilliant. This is about
:04:53. > :04:57.creating a community and changing lives so that people feel real
:04:58. > :05:05.again, they feel human again, they feel part of the community again.
:05:06. > :05:12.Sister Rita drums up support back at the community centre. Are you
:05:13. > :05:14.listening? If you are interested in helping in Eastwood Square shops,
:05:15. > :05:20.then I want you to put your name here. But just as everyone is
:05:21. > :05:24.getting on board, there is a reality check from a fellow charity worker
:05:25. > :05:30.who has worked on community projects like this one before. You will hit a
:05:31. > :05:34.brick wall unless you can establish a really detailed business case for
:05:35. > :05:39.these properties, the council will not hand them over to you, I know
:05:40. > :05:44.that. We are not trying to make money. We are trying to build a
:05:45. > :05:50.community and to make it easier for the people in Colley are struggling
:05:51. > :05:55.to buy things just now. I know. As ever she is undaunted by details
:05:56. > :06:01.like the lack of a business plan. I always start without money. I know
:06:02. > :06:06.this is very dangerous and they tell me that all the time, but my answer
:06:07. > :06:12.is you will never do it. But if you do it, you will get the money. And
:06:13. > :06:17.it seems her luck is in as a Manchester -based commercial
:06:18. > :06:21.property lawyer drops into the centre to offer a donation. She soon
:06:22. > :06:28.finds herself sweet talked into volunteering her experience. It is a
:06:29. > :06:33.big project, but there is a lot of love for Sister Rita and what she
:06:34. > :06:39.does. It is very deliverable, but in chunks, so you have to open one shop
:06:40. > :06:47.at a time. If anyone has nothing to do, I need help. It is early days,
:06:48. > :06:51.but her dream of revitalising Colley Hurst is one step closer and who
:06:52. > :06:57.would be brave enough to bet against this none on permission. They do not
:06:58. > :07:01.call me the formidable Sister Rita for nothing. Formidable, she is
:07:02. > :07:11.wonderful. You can see how her plans to improve her neighbourhood unfold
:07:12. > :07:17.all week at 9:15am on BBC One. I am looking forward to it. We are taking
:07:18. > :07:19.a walk into the countryside because you have put the miles into this new
:07:20. > :07:26.album. We have been talking about the
:07:27. > :07:33.little promotions you have to do. You have to do them. It was
:07:34. > :07:36.beautifully shot in Northumberland. It is excruciating, you have to walk
:07:37. > :07:43.around singing to the camera. But it is beautiful scenery. You queued
:07:44. > :07:51.that up beautifully. Let's enjoyed it. # See the children run as the
:07:52. > :07:58.sun goes down upon the Fields of Gold.
:07:59. > :08:08.# You remember me when the West wind moves, among the fields of Bali.
:08:09. > :08:15.# You can tell the sun in his jealous Guy, when we walked in
:08:16. > :08:25.Fields of Gold... Beautiful. I love that song. It is
:08:26. > :08:30.such a beautiful song. Forget Pointless, you could be doing
:08:31. > :08:37.Countryfile. He is the man to talk about. This is your second album,
:08:38. > :08:43.Upon A Different Shore, and it is full of beautiful countryside. It is
:08:44. > :08:49.like you have sunk a record collection. You have got an eclectic
:08:50. > :08:54.mix on there. We were wildly ambitious and we wanted to go for
:08:55. > :09:01.different things. We have got Vaughan Williams, the Stranglers, we
:09:02. > :09:07.do Firestone by Kygo. We did not see that, a dance track. It is all done
:09:08. > :09:20.with a huge orchestra. Let's hear the original.
:09:21. > :09:35.This is your version. # And when they strike... Whose idea
:09:36. > :09:42.was that? Rob Dickens, my manager, he is the guy behind an year and he
:09:43. > :09:47.got sure into the charts and he puts great ideas together. He is
:09:48. > :09:52.fantastic. My producer and arranger, Caroline Dale, is like a godlike
:09:53. > :09:59.person and she turned this into an orchestral version. When the brass
:10:00. > :10:04.comes in and you get that lovely attack on the strings, I love it.
:10:05. > :10:10.But you are not just singing, you are playing the oboe. I did not know
:10:11. > :10:16.that you were an oboist. Yes, it has been a long time. That is the
:10:17. > :10:23.doorbell, it will be gradual, I will be right back. Coming! You have
:10:24. > :10:29.reunited with Ben Miller which is exciting. Yes, I am doing something
:10:30. > :10:38.on Radio 4 with him. When will that be? Just before Christmas. You are
:10:39. > :10:45.very busy, you have got the 1000th episode of Pointless. What is going
:10:46. > :10:50.on? It is an opportunity? She is not here, stuck in traffic, pretty busy
:10:51. > :10:59.downtown. Petula has more quilted paper. The album is wonderful, it
:11:00. > :11:00.really is. It is called Upon A Different Shore and it is out now.
:11:01. > :11:03.It is called Upon A Different Shore and it is out now.
:11:04. > :11:06.When BBC Television officially started 80 years ago this week
:11:07. > :11:09.there was no One Show, no EastEnders, not
:11:10. > :11:12.Within it's first year along came a new singing sensation
:11:13. > :11:15.She went on to help kick-start the career of another
:11:16. > :11:39.We thought it was time the two had a catch-up.
:11:40. > :12:30.Austria during an little do she know that I will be surprised her.
:12:31. > :12:42.How are you? You police. You refit. It was in London's criterion Theatre
:12:43. > :12:50.with the sound of the war above that I accompanied my father to the BBC's
:12:51. > :12:59.show. That is when I first met Helen. Do you remember that? I do
:13:00. > :13:06.remember that. That is the first time I was heard on air. There was a
:13:07. > :13:12.big reaction after my first broadcast. This particular letter
:13:13. > :13:19.was so beautiful, my dad kept it. It was a soldier and he said Petula's
:13:20. > :13:24.voice sounds like Chapel bells on a Sunday morning. From singing in
:13:25. > :13:28.ballrooms and grand hotels it was only a matter of time before Helen
:13:29. > :13:36.made her first appearance on television in 1937 in Cabaret
:13:37. > :13:42.Cartoons, Allied entertainment series broadcast by the BBC. I do
:13:43. > :13:49.not think I took in the fact it was pioneering stuff. That is the scarf
:13:50. > :13:53.they draped around me. I turned up in a black dress and that was not
:13:54. > :13:59.used because they could not get the contrast. Television transmissions
:14:00. > :14:07.were suspended on the day that war was declared. Helen returned to duty
:14:08. > :14:13.on the radio with her own show, It Is All Yours singing requests for
:14:14. > :14:18.the forces and their families. We all did as many troop concerts as we
:14:19. > :14:23.could. It made you feel good that you are coming and singing to these
:14:24. > :14:28.lads who were at any minute going overseas. As far as the broadcast
:14:29. > :14:34.went, that was your job. It felt as if you were in the army, but in a
:14:35. > :14:45.different branch. This is you at one stage. And it was broadcast from the
:14:46. > :14:51.factories. We did one broadcast and the piano began to fall into pieces.
:14:52. > :14:58.That is interesting! The realities of the war came a little too close
:14:59. > :15:03.to home one night. When the dive bombers came near our house, I had
:15:04. > :15:07.it in the distance and I rushed to the top of the steps. They dropped
:15:08. > :15:12.the bomb and the next thing I knew I was at the bottom of the steps. That
:15:13. > :15:26.first broadcast for me was 74 years ago. Yes, I know, I sang Mighty Like
:15:27. > :15:32.A Rose. You impressed us so. # With eyes so shiny blue, it makes you
:15:33. > :15:38.think that heaven is coming close to you.
:15:39. > :15:44.APPLAUSE And Helen and Petula Clarke are
:15:45. > :15:50.here. Welcome to you both. Helen, how
:15:51. > :15:56.different were the television studios back then? Compare to what
:15:57. > :16:04.you see today? No comparison. There's nothing like this. All your
:16:05. > :16:11.cameras didn't move. Everyone was wearing suits. That's right. Nothing
:16:12. > :16:19.like this! I think we would have been terrified if we had in.
:16:20. > :16:25.Probably. Petula Kammy met Helen for the first time in 1942 on a radio
:16:26. > :16:31.programme. Can you remember how you felt at the end of that day after
:16:32. > :16:40.your first encounter with Helen? After Petula met you the first time,
:16:41. > :16:44.how did she feel? I felt fine. You were only eight years old at the
:16:45. > :16:52.time. I was, we were talking about it earlier, I wasn't nervous. Kids
:16:53. > :17:00.aren't nervous. I just signed my song, Mighty Like A Rose and I were
:17:01. > :17:05.standing on a box so I could reach the big BBC microphone. I sang and
:17:06. > :17:10.they heard it in the control room and they said, would you like to
:17:11. > :17:13.sing your song as well as send a message to your uncle? I said, yes.
:17:14. > :17:21.I didn't really realise what that meant. But the song she sang, one of
:17:22. > :17:30.them was a wonderful, wonderful imitation of a comedienne called
:17:31. > :17:36.Nellie Wallace. It was incredible. You closed your eyes and you could
:17:37. > :17:40.see Nellie Wallace doing it. A very strange performance, let's say that.
:17:41. > :17:49.I used to do imitations, it was one of my things. Can you still do them?
:17:50. > :17:56.Not in public. I bet back then you couldn't have imagined what
:17:57. > :18:04.television would become. Oh no. What do you like to watch, apart from us.
:18:05. > :18:13.I like to watch animal programmes, especially the Battersea dogs home
:18:14. > :18:26.ones. With Paul O'Grady! I love them, and any wildlife programme.
:18:27. > :18:27.Game shows? Game shows? We know you have a big birthday coming up soon
:18:28. > :18:37.so we have a little present, Helen. The front cover of the Radio Times
:18:38. > :18:39.from 27th September 1940 - Petula, will you stay with us?
:18:40. > :18:52.Wonderful. Now, awards shows -
:18:53. > :18:55.our guests here will have attended a fair few glamorous events
:18:56. > :18:57.in their time. Red carpets, long gowns and women
:18:58. > :19:12.dripping in diamonds. You know about the Oscars, the Brit
:19:13. > :19:15.awards, the Emmys and the Baftas, but there's quite a few awards
:19:16. > :19:24.ceremonies you don't know about. And some of them are quite surprising.
:19:25. > :19:27.The annual scare awards, the Scars. Scaring ourselves stupid is big
:19:28. > :19:31.entertainment and big money and in this event trophies are presented to
:19:32. > :19:36.the scariest attractions and experiences. This year the awards
:19:37. > :19:44.are taking place in Screamland, the dark side of Dreamland theme in
:19:45. > :19:48.Margate. -- theme park. I'm not sure I'm dressed for it. That's a
:19:49. > :19:53.splendid suit, I'm suitably appalled. What are the Scare awards?
:19:54. > :19:58.it's a celebration of things designed to scare you. It's an award
:19:59. > :20:02.celebration to commemorate the best, from behind-the-scenes things like
:20:03. > :20:07.Best costume, make-up and design. Then the big awards are things like
:20:08. > :20:11.best scream Park, Best scare attraction, Best scare event and
:20:12. > :20:14.zombie event. We go around the country and review the attractions
:20:15. > :20:19.through the year, and then we get together and decide the best ones.
:20:20. > :20:23.We argue among ourselves and its top-secret, nobody knows who is won.
:20:24. > :20:29.What's the appeal for you? By day you are an accountant. I am. Nothing
:20:30. > :20:34.more scary than an accountant. Would you like me to do your tax return
:20:35. > :20:39.for you. Cheers. To find out what all the fuss is about I'm visiting a
:20:40. > :20:46.scary attraction here at Screamland. It's a terrifying vision of a
:20:47. > :20:54.Margate guesthouse. Room 13. I think this is my room, isn't it? Eddie,
:20:55. > :21:01.what strange place is this? This is dead and breakfast, one of our scare
:21:02. > :21:05.mazes. What is a scare maze? Immersive theatre, a winding story
:21:06. > :21:10.that leads you through different spaces, actors, out and take part.
:21:11. > :21:16.And this is up for an award. It is, we are nominated against the big
:21:17. > :21:20.players and we are so excited. It's very competitive and we are on the
:21:21. > :21:24.edge of our seats in anticipation. I'm loathe to say it in such a
:21:25. > :21:28.place, but let's split up. Good luck.
:21:29. > :21:43.So why do we enjoy getting scared? Time to talk to a scare expert. When
:21:44. > :21:47.we go into a theatre to see a scary movie, for example, or go on a white
:21:48. > :21:51.knuckle ride, we know intellectually we will not be hurt and there's
:21:52. > :21:55.nothing to be scared of. It is fun and you. When you are scared we
:21:56. > :22:01.produce a lot of feel-good chemicals. It gives yourself a fix.
:22:02. > :22:07.When you go as a couple to see a scary movie, you feel closer to your
:22:08. > :22:11.partner. And so the award ceremony is about to begin. And if you can't
:22:12. > :22:23.beat them, join them. There was a load of new events last
:22:24. > :22:26.year, probably the biggest year for new events and it's great to see the
:22:27. > :22:30.industry growing so much. Let's get on with the first award, the winner
:22:31. > :22:36.for the best multipart Halloween event goes to scare kingdoms theme
:22:37. > :22:45.parks. You've got some nasty warts there. Even my make-up artist is up
:22:46. > :22:51.for an award. The winner is Horrify Me.
:22:52. > :22:57.Now for the moment Screamland has been waiting for. The winner of the
:22:58. > :23:06.best new event is Screamland Margate. CHEERING
:23:07. > :23:10.I can't believe Screamland has won best new event. So exciting and such
:23:11. > :23:15.a brilliant accolade for us. Our first year and to get an award like
:23:16. > :23:20.this is fantastic. Well, the awards are over and very fine and scary
:23:21. > :23:25.they were. I think there's only one way to end an evening like this, and
:23:26. > :23:32.that's to be chased down Margate seafront by a load of zombies.
:23:33. > :23:39.STUDIO: I think Arthur looks brilliant with the make-up on.
:23:40. > :23:46.Petula, you must be no stranger to awards ceremonies, the first British
:23:47. > :23:53.woman to win a Grammy award. And after seven decades in the music
:23:54. > :23:58.industry... That's seriously scary! But you have a new album. It's
:23:59. > :24:03.called From Now On and it focuses on the future. Today and the future.
:24:04. > :24:10.That's the way I've lived my life for a long time. I'm not really very
:24:11. > :24:14.nostalgic. I will look back from time to time, but I don't sit around
:24:15. > :24:17.saying, those were the good old days, because they weren't always
:24:18. > :24:23.the good old days. There were good and bad. You are performing covers
:24:24. > :24:28.and have some original stuff yourself. Is there still stuff you
:24:29. > :24:32.want to do? Going forward you don't know yet, I guess, you are
:24:33. > :24:37.constantly looking into the future. That's the exciting thing. I've just
:24:38. > :24:41.done a UK tour and had a fantastic time. And in the show is the
:24:42. > :24:45.audience seemed to enjoy the new stuff as the old stuff. Where do you
:24:46. > :24:50.get your inspiration from with the new stuff? It's a little scary going
:24:51. > :24:54.on stage and doing material that hasn't been tested yet. But it's
:24:55. > :25:00.also very exciting. It gets you going. It's good. Let's have a
:25:01. > :25:07.listen to While You See A Chance. # When some sad
:25:08. > :25:39.old dream reminds you APPLAUSE
:25:40. > :25:46.. That was a show in Berlin. It was a very unusual venue. Pretty great,
:25:47. > :25:51.actually. Wonderful set. It is an amazing club. I'd never worked
:25:52. > :25:54.anywhere like that before. I usually do theatres, but that was a
:25:55. > :26:03.different vibe and really rather good, I thought. You also do a cover
:26:04. > :26:11.of Blackbird by the Beatles. You had a regular visitor to your flat. I
:26:12. > :26:15.have this tiny flat in London, it's in Chelsea with lots of birds and
:26:16. > :26:20.trees and things. I like to leave the balcony door open. And I have
:26:21. > :26:23.this visitor who comes and sings for me, a little Blackbird. Not every
:26:24. > :26:31.night, but almost every night, he's there. I suppose it's a he, I don't
:26:32. > :26:41.know! This is my little tribute to my personal little Blackbird. Is it
:26:42. > :26:44.right you try to record it singing? I'm not very high-tech with that
:26:45. > :26:49.kind of thing. Maybe it's microphone shy. It could be. We will send Mike
:26:50. > :26:51.along. And Petula's album
:26:52. > :26:53.From Now On is out now. Thanks to everyone who sent
:26:54. > :27:06.in photos of themselves as fright This is John in Reading. He's not
:27:07. > :27:12.feeling the Halloween spirit. Come on, John! This one is sweet,
