Best of 2013 The One Show

I've cancelled the papers, turned off the gas, re-directed the mail. That's it, isn't it? Good.

OK, let's get packing then. Are you ready? Rickshaw. Yes, keep.

Daniel Radcliffe's confession to Oprah. Keep. Antonio Banderas.

The cat, yes. Danny DeVito. Yes, in. Are you ready for this one?

Brace yourself.

Chatty Bruce. I think he really loved it here. He can stay.

Everywhere you look, there's a memory. There is.

Hello and welcome to the best of The One Show 2013.

This is half an hour packed full of our favourite memories

and hopefully, yours too.

I loved Sting's school reunion.

And when Stephen Merchant told us about his career change.

I am the third Proclaimer!

And then we had Doc Martin upstaged by his dog

and guest bombshells galore.

I'm ga-ga on Gaga!

I did see one. Notting Hill. Yes, that's very old.

But that was so boring.

Sporting moment? Ooh, erm...

When we went to see Andy Murray straight after he won Wimbledon,

we had a little game and you met that bee. Oh, do you remember?

You've got a bee there. I don't like bees.

I can't believe we're leaving this place, but we will be there in time for January.

So while we get these coats on, why don't you have a look

at some of our favourite memories from the old place of 2013.

Please let us know by eee-mailing!

Here at The One Show, we like our studio to feel comfy,

just like a proper home.

And we like our guests to feel the same.

Mrs Brown's family.

Actually, Brendan's family. I'm Jenny O'Carroll.

I'm married to Brendan in real life and I'm Mrs Brown's daughter.

But that must be so weird. So weird! You have no idea!

You want to see what it's like at home!

Our studio is full of Dots tonight. There we are, they're all in.

Oh! Oooh!

Feel the heat!

More postal news, Dan. There is more postal news.

We have The One Show family members who regularly drop by, when they feel like it.

Iwan was supposed to come in.

We've told him tea's nearly ready and everything but he loves that old trampoline!

And we hope our guests approve of what we've done with the place.

Come on.

Come on, Antonio. Shuffle, shuffle, shuffle, shuffle!

Our kitchen got a lot of use this year. Get cooking.

I know you love your paella. It's very bad. You're fired! Just kidding!

There are 20 of them in there. That's roughly...

Don't put your fingers all over them!

Your chopping's horrendous.

Thank you. It's rough chopping. It's peasant chopping.

We should have little ovens for you to be standing behind.

No, we don't want ovens.

I've been going to and from the oven door.

I knew we wouldn't get a word in!

I don't know why we came.

I want to just smash these like that. What, into my face? Yes.

Oh, please do!

I almost lost my hair!

Admittedly, there's been a few times this year

when the behaviour has got, well, a bit out of hand.

# Gonna take your mama out all night

# Yeah, we'll show her what it's all about

# Get her jacked up on some cheap champagne. #

So we had no choice but to call in the experts to straighten it all out.

Thanks, of course, to all of The One Show mums for coming in.

Come on, Mary, step forward.

Go on, Janice, step forward.

There we are. There's my mum.

Ian McShane's in town!

But the best thing about our studio feeling like our home was the open door policy.

Usain Bolt!

And there's nothing we like more than putting celebrities next to you, our viewers,

particularly when you shoot from the hip.

I did see one. Notting Hill. Yes, that's very old.

But that was so boring.

Old and boring, yes. It was so boring, I fell asleep.

And then at the end, I woke up and it sort of livened up.

Do you know what I mean? What's your favourite film?

My favourite is Casablanca. Excellent.

I couldn't stay awake in that one, I have to admit!

Do you know what? I agree with Lilian.

My favourite was Bridget Jones's Diary.

Yes, but I'll never forget that day, you know, how upset you got when you heard that Darcy was dead.

# All by myself

# Don't want to be all by myself.

# Any more. #

Do you know what, though? I'm over it now. I've moved on.

It says here, "Matt and Al to pick up everything from the old studio and take them to the new studio."

Everything? There's a lot of stuff here, isn't there?

What about the big telly? Well, I would ring Evans, but, erm...

Let's get The One Show family involved. Good idea.

Let's have one last look at what they've been up to in 2013.

This year, our team has dedicated itself to revealing,

understanding and capturing Britain in all its glory.

We've aimed to bring you a different perspective on how the UK

has been shaped, by exploring our rugged country from way up high...

This is the fastest zip line in the world!

..or revealing the story of the sunken depths below.

It's breathtaking.

I can clearly see the tracks leading down into the tunnel.

And the flatbed trucks and then I come across something much more poignant.

Written on the walls are names.

The names of the rock men, who were once in charge of drilling

and blasting specific parts of the quarry.

In 2013, we celebrated the people whose words helped form our culture

from something as simple as a catch phrase...

Hello, good evening and welcome.

Beautifully done.

..to poetry that fills us with nostalgia.

Late August, given heavy rain and sun for a full week, the blackberries would ripen.

At first, just one. A glossy purple clot among others.

Red, green, hard as a nut.

What makes Seamus Heaney so well-loved?

Heaney wrote poems that certainly saw beauty in everyday life

and I think in doing that, he also gave people symbols of hope for a future.

And lost for picking.

But sometimes, words are just not enough.

This year, we followed two artists as they captured the sacrifice of soldiers

in a way that was brilliantly simple and utterly moving.

We're actually going to draw out 9,000 silhouettes to represent

people who died during the 24 hours of D-Day.

War is war and you'll appreciate that people get killed.

When you mention the number that were killed in just a few hours,

you can imagine what it was like.

Can I stop a minute?

The volunteers have only been working probably an hour

and it's just unbelievable.

As ever, our nature experts have been busy.

We see it go down and there it is. Oh, my God! There it is!

Mike had a close encounter off the coast of Scotland.

Just right ahead. Right ahead. You're never going to believe this.

We've just spotted killer whales off the front of the boat. Look at that!

Of the three distinct groups that visit our shores,

the west coast community is the only one that stays here all year round.

To find them at all in this vast ocean area, is simply astounding.

Thanks, Moira. Choose your golden oldie via our website.

This morning, I'm off to the brand-new studios of The One Show.

However, I don't really know where they are. So wish me luck.

SAT NAV: In 200 feet, turn right, then arrive at destination.

You can't park there, Chris. There you go, mate. Sorry, mate, I'm late.

One pair of patent leather platforms. Tick them off. There we are.

I think we've done it. We're all packed. Yes. We haven't forgotten anything, have we?

The sofa. How did we forget that?

Come on. Look, a pound!

In the pocket. We'll get some sweets on the way. Ready? One, two, three.

Getting this down the stairs is going to be a bit of a challenge.

Yes, but it's not the only challenge we've faced this year.

We love a challenge on The One Show, no matter how unusual.

Just don't say pointless.

MUSIC: "Cars" by Gary Numan

'Whether it's escaping from a falcon with a chicken

'strapped to your head...'

He's got it straight away.

'..Watching how engineers can make a bridge disappear in one place

'to reappear in another with the help of a little washing-up liquid...'

The bridge's careful slide will take 12 days to complete

and all the while the people of Nottingham continue their own

journey down below.

'..Or it could be seeing how many folds we can make in a piece of paper

'a mile long.'

It's going. It's going.

One degree.

'Whatever we do, we always try to keep a smile on our face

'whilst we do it.'

I love it. I love The One Show for making me do this. It's beautiful.

'And we certainly don't like our guests to feel left out.'

'Forget sailing, guiding the Mallard into the

'maintenance shed was a dream come true for Rod.'

You can't beat the real thing.

'And he's not the only one who gets in on the spot assignment.

'We've had acting competitions.'

Your first emotion is shock.

Brenda.

It's good. Come on, Martin, shock us.

LAUGHTER

What about Dodger? Can he beat them?

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

Yes, he can.

'And Idris was the icing on the wedding cake.'

Idris Elba is the guest in the studio in London.

Used to be a wedding DJ.

He is going to be choosing their first dance.

Wait, wait. Really?

We just want to give him an idea of what you're like. Is Ben romantic?

Er... Yes!

Did I ask the wrong question?

I've got a great song. Have you?

Yes, but have we got the great song that you want? No.

I've got I Love Big Butts.

Is that not going to work?

It's a great first song, no?

Embarrassed.

That's very good. That's very good.

ALL: Aw!

APPLAUSE

You're picking the first tune ever for Ben and Melody as a married couple. What have you got, my friend?

Ben and Melody, I've got a big tune to help you in the bedroom!

CHEERING

Good luck.

MUSIC: "Could You Be Loved" by Bob Marley And The Wailers

Patrick is now wearing Mo Farah's trainers.

We're going to crank Patrick up to Mo's average.

That's not what... That's it. That's it.

Let's go! Yes! Yes! I've got a stitch!

It is a pigeon simulator.

If I see some rubbish, can I go down and have a bit of a meal?

'Sometimes the guests turn the tables and challenge us.

'And when I say us, I mean you, Matt.'

Have you really got what it takes

because under that suit you look a bit flabby to me?

I'm not sure that you're up for this task. I've been there before.

I've done it. Let's get ripped in another way.

What does that mean? You can leave now. Thank you very much.

Thanks for your time.

It's been lovely to meet you. 'That went well.

'Anyway we like to make sure that everyone's

'a winner if they take on a One Show challenge.'

She can't be here to accept the award but Alan can. Alan.

On behalf of Emily. I'd just like to say...

Yes, keep it brief, thank you.

'But the question on everyone's lips -

'who won the sofa acting challenge?'

The overall winner was of course Dodger.

He couldn't be here tonight, but he did send this recording.

BARKING

Aw!

Morning, Linda. Morning, Chris. The other two aren't here yet.

What's new? There's your coffee. There's your food.

Thank you so much.

You don't know where the new One Show studios are, do you?

It's behind you, Chris. (Right.)

OK? Yes. Watch the door. Right. Are you through? Yes.

OK, up she goes.

OK. Have you got the keys? Keys? Yeah, I've got the keys. Brilliant.

I thought I was driving. Well, this is the city now,

Mr Countryfile. Can I put the orange light on?

If you must. Belt up. Bye.

Now whatever we got up to over the years back there, everybody

knows that the real stars of the show are you lot, our viewers.

CHEERING

The One Show loves to hear your stories, be them happy,

sad, about work or play.

A regular group come on a Thursday. Ladies only.

We like to discuss things that happen in the village.

I first bought a hot tub six years ago.

Sadly two years ago I lost my wife to breast cancer.

She always wanted it to snow while we were in the hot tub

and it never really happened.

Just before she passed away I bought a snow machine

so when she looked out the window, the garden was covered in snow

and Christmas morning we sat in the hot tub with snow falling.

'And because we are a family show there's nothing

'we like more than hearing stories about your family.'

My name is Tom Jones and this is my dad Tom.

And this is my dad Tom.

We are three generations of Tom Jones and in Wales that is not unusual!

You've told us about finding your soulmate, losing them,

only later to be reunited'

It was the New Year '74 when we met.

We just knew we loved each other.

Then one day my brother found my letters from Viv which were

quite, you know, intimate, and handed them over to my parents.

And that was that. I never ever saw Viv again from that.

We walked into this pub. Sitting on this chair, there's Maria.

We knew as soon as we saw each other... We knew we were in big trouble.

We've been married now two and a half years. Yeah.

Enjoying every minute. Very happy. Absolutely.

Oscar started diving when he was four.

On his very first lesson he went on to the three-metre springboard

and jumped off.

So I don't think Oscar has ever been scared of diving or

definitely not of heights anyway.

'We were privileged to meet Natasha Lambert who despite having

'athetoid cerebral palsy marked her 16th birthday by sailing

'the English Channel solo.'

Natasha's 21-foot-long boat, Miss Isle Too, has been specially adapted by her

father Gary to allow her to control the boat without the use of her hands.

How does it work? It's quite simple. There's two modes to the straw.

If she sips it, it will bring the sails in and

if she blows it, it will take the sails out.

What kind of feeling do you get when you're out there in the water,

when you're totally in control?

Free.

'And one of the most compelling stories of love was

'when Wendy Robbins met a single mum from Brixton in south London.'

My name is Mimi Asher.

My big decision was to save my son by befriending the criminal gang

he was involved in.

I was just hoping and believing that I could do something to try

and turn his life around.

Mimi made the big decision to welcome the gang into her house.

At first the initial feeling was, "Mum, please don't go

"and speak to all my friends."

There was a certain time where I was shot at outside her home

and the bullet actually went through her door.

'After three long difficult years Mimi's efforts paid off.

'The gang disbanded and many of its members moved on to education

'and employment.

'Her son Michael is now a football coach

'and former gang member Karl has become a writer and youth mentor.

The majority of the thing that she gave us in a nutshell was love.

Was love. It was undiluted, pure genuine love.

Whoa! Right, shall we start with the sofa?

There you are.

Are you right? Can you manage? Yes, I'm OK. It's quite heavy, isn't it?

Yes. Gosh.

I don't believe it. The Ginger is already here.

We can't wave, we've got our hands full.

Oh! What?

HE MOUTHS

I think he's saying we don't need the sofa.

Right. Let's go.

So here's the new studio, new sofas. Now look, look, ready?

Comfy. I know.

And is it true that we had the choice of any colour

imaginable as long as it's green?

Yes, it is, but they asked us not to mention that.

Let's hope these sofas are at the centre of more magical

moments just like these.

'Now our trusty old sofa can be a bit like a psychiatrist's couch.

'Get the guests comfy and you never know what they are going to say.'

I am Leo. A little fish for my supper.

The DNA results are in and I...

LAUGHTER

..I am the third Proclaimer.

AUDIENCE CLAPS ALONG

Sorry. What are you doing? They are having fun.

'And no-one took that idea more to heart than Oprah.

..It's worth a lot of money. Yes.

'She certainly cast a spell over Daniel Radcliffe.

'"Confessius nowius."'

It's going to be OK.

I was once canoeing on a lake and my friend who I've never

admitted this to, thinks we just like, the canoe, mysteriously tipped over,

but I had actually splashed him because I thought it would be funny.

You purposefully tipped over the canoe.

It's been weighing me down for years at this point.

I just need to talk about this.

'She's a master, isn't she?'

# I belong with you You belong with me. #

'But we worked our own magic on the guests too.

'We got them to open up with carefully thought out, probing questions.'

What's the weirdest thing that you've got in your wardrobe?

I have a loincloth.

I thought it might spice things up at home, you know.

But you know what, it hasn't.

Deep waters lightly skipped over.

Cheers. You're fine.

This is the tip?

OK, who would be least likely to give you a tip? Arnold, probably.

Really? Yes. He is a tightwad.

'But other guests just want to get things off their chest.'

"She woke on Halloween. He was dead. It was over."

ALL: Ooh!

Wishful thinking I think.

'All that juicy gossip, it's no wonder our ratings were so good.'

Seven million are watching the show since I stepped up.

These are people who normally wouldn't bother to watch your show.

'But there have been more poignant moments over the past year

'where we really have got an insight into the lives of our guests.'

Sting, you were once a teacher for two years of course. Mr Sumner.

I was Mr Sumner.

And in your 2009 biography you talk about a little tyke called Kevin.

What was going on with Kevin?

Kevin was...

I got a phone call in the staff room saying, "Kevin is poorly

"and he's not coming in today."

I said, "Who's speaking?" "Me mam."

"Kevin, I think you'd better come right now." Am I going to see him?

ALL: Good evening, Mr Sumner.

And this is what he looks like. This is Kevin.

Great to see you. How are you?

He just mentioned about you pretending to be your mum.

How would you grade him?

As a perfect teacher, a perfect friend as well

when I was at school.

When he took us to the Playhouse in Newcastle I had no shoes or

trainers to go and he actually bought us a pair of trainers to go.

That's very kind. He also bought me dinner as well.

He bought you d...? What a kind teacher he was.

You've gone a bit glassy eyed there. That was

delightful, everybody. Thank you. I'm so thrilled to see you all.

I really think about you a lot, I really do.

One of the biggest movie stars in the world. Yes.

Please welcome Bruce Willis.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

I'm happy to be here.

You have got four films out this year.

So which one are you most looking forward to?

Is that too difficult a question?

Uh...

Which films are you referring to?

'Do you know what I realise now?

'When you've been the star of so many films it must be

'difficult to keep track.'

'Yes, but he did remember the title eventually.'

It's A Good Day To Die Hard. I'm still working on it.

It's a romcom, I think. A Good Day To Die Hard.

It's a difficult title. It's A Good...

LAUGHTER

A Good Day To Die...

Have A Sandwich And Let's Go Shopping.

Dire. What's the date today?

Bruce Willis, that reminds me. "Armageddon" used to our new home here.

Let's see the new view. Pull down the tabs, man. Look at...

There we are. There it is. There you go, Chris, grab that.

That's great. London. Ta-da! Sort of.

Loads of space out here. It's going to be brilliant. It's massive.

We can do a rematch of the 100 metres, 200 metres, 300 metres. Brilliant. It's massive.

We could have barbecues, live performances. Yes.

But, boys, forget all that. The shops are just over there.

See you later.

Oh, dear. We're going to have a real problem with this. You're right,

but we've had some great outdoor moments this year. Let's have a look.

# You make me feel so young

# You make me feel that spring's sprung... #

'We like to get out and about on The One Show.

# I'm such a happy individual... #

'Usain Bolt ambling up our special 100-metre-long red carpet.

'We don't roll this out for anybody.'

'And it's not just getting out to our front yard either.'

It's a warm Northern welcome to The One Show.

'This year we basked in a glorious summer.

'Which in our opinion totally rocked.'

# Freak out

# Le Freak C'est chic... #

Hello, Glastonbury!

CHEERING

I actually can't hear a word you're saying.

# C'est chic Freak out. #

Whoo!

When the mercury soared we met you at the beach in Weston-super-Mare.

And what a collection of knobbly knees we have here.

This is the weirdest programme in the world.

Have some seaweed pie.

'We popped into Buckingham Palace's garden party.'

In the garden with the Queen.

Her Majesty, Your Majesty, these are your people.

'On the 70th anniversary of World War II's Battle of the Atlantic

'we hosted the show from HMS Illustrious.'

Let's just enjoy it landing. We'll just watch it for a bit.

We probably can't talk so we'll just see it landing.

'And we said a fond farewell to BBC TV Centre, which shut its famous

'doors after 53 years.'

'Matt prepared to perform along with 600 dancers to recreate

'Roy Castle's fantastic world record.'

'Yes, we are talking tap dancing.'

# One step beyond. #

Good night.

'And 60,000 people came to CarFest...'

A little bit of Jungle book.

# I want to be like you... #

'..where Al raced Chitty Chitty Sharleen Spiteri.'

'I seem to remember her car was slightly better than mine.'

Oh, my God.

# Born to be wild... #

'CarFest raised well over ?1 million for Children In Need.

ALL: Rickshaw challenge!

'And you brought in another ?1.5 million by supporting

'Team Rickshaw on its round-the-clock journey.'

'And whilst I hit the road, you hit the pub.'

Just time for a quick half-hour in The Vic.

Oh, my God, I think we've got cows running after us.

Good morning.

'But despite your best efforts, Matthew, you can't escape your

'telly wife for ever.'

Give me a second. Matt. It's for you, mate.

Some dodgy Welsh bird wants a word with you. All right. Hold on.

I'll take it. Cheers.

Hello. It's me.

How are you doing? All right?

It's been one epic journey and adventure.

It has been an experience of a lifetime.

'It seemed impossible at times but together we have peddled on.

'And as well as raising lots and lots of cash

'for BBC Children In Need

'we take away more memories than should really fit into one week.'

I can't believe all that happened in 12 months. No.

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. I've done the rickshaw. I've done the rickshaw.

That's about it from The One Show for 2013. See you on January 6th.

For a whole new year of One Shows. From here, our brand-new home.

See you later. Your turn next. Definitely. Your turn next. He's gone!
