The One Show Roadshow The One Show

12 Halal, and welcome to The One Show. We are outside because this

is our very first roadshow. We are here with the lovely people of

Sheffield. They are real troupers. They've been incredible. It's been

tipping it down at times today but the sun has come out for us. We've

turned this Park into a gigantic festival, to give some of the

viewers to get hands-on with the things we see in the studio every

night. It's been leading up to tonight's very special programme.

Yes. Angellica is attempting mass participation art. Or will it be

good enough to hang in a real gallery? It will be revealed later.

Christine's volunteer gardeners are helping to spread flower-power all

across this lovely city. I'll be over shortly to give you a hand.

For Carrie Grant has had one day to create a 100 strong choir good

enough to sing live on BBC One later on. The a finished rehearsing

before we came on air and it sounded pretty good. We've got

history from Gyles science from Marty and this being The One Show,

we brought along a very special guest. He is the curly-haired

comedy cutie from QI. Please give a Have raised it down. We didn't

bring our sulfur, but this will do. It's an incredible turnout, the sun

has come out. I brought it with me. You have brought your wellies,

which was a good move. Yes, it is a swamp around us. It's fine. Have

you any connections with Sheffield? I did play in Sheffield in 1999. I

once did a gig in Sheffield and next door there was wrestling

happening. My favourite memory of Yorkshire is with an old girlfriend

of mine at Pontefract racecourse, but we probably shouldn't go there!

This being no ordinary show, we will get to rub in with all sorts

of stuff. You've done a wonderful job with the straw around the

outside. Considering we are in the middle of a field full of lovely

tents, we thought it would be nice if you could give us your pictures

of your camping experience over the summer. It has been a bit of a

mixed bag with the weather. Any good camping memories? I camp when

I was working at the Farnborough Air Show. I got woken up every

morning by jets coming into land for the show. That is my camping

memory, it was quite traumatic. that the end of your camping

experience? After that I never come again, but I saw the Red Arrows

every day. Before we show you what happens when The One Show comes to

town, Anita, you are going to kick things off with a very memorable

story. Have you have got in touch with the show to see if we could

help track down any of her mother's long-lost relatives. We had no idea

1931, the country was in the grip of the Great Depression. Jobs were

scarce and people were going hungry. This building in Grimsby is now a

hospital, but back in the 30s it used to be a workhouse and housed

some of the poorest people in society. It was home to a woman

named Evelyn and the Branson, who gave birth right here to a little

girl she named Joyce. This is my birth certificate. I was born on

21st May, 1931 in Grimsby. It was the workhouse. Yes. It also tells

you your mother's name. Yes, even Branson. Why would your birth

mother have been here? Because it would be the only place in Grimsby

that would take on an unmarried mother. Joyce Gibbs is now 81 years

old, but it was only in her 30s that she saw her birth certificate

for the first time and discovered she was adopted. Prior to this she

had no idea. Did it come as a shock to you? It did. Do you feel angry

at your mum or giving you up? don't think I do really because

probably I wouldn't have been as well off as I have been forced to

maybe life would have been harder for us both. I often wonder where

she went. Did she stay in Grimsby, did she see me growing up? I wonder

if she has had any other children. You don't know, do you? Joyce has

asked us to help us find out more about her family, so I am off to

find out from professional people find it. I enlisted to help to

search for relatives. Anybody in the public can do what I do, using

records that are available online. But I often have to go to libraries

and different record offices throughout the country. We know

that Joyce was adopted, so how does that change things? It does make

things more complicated. You can go to an adoption Support Agency for

help. But because joys already had her original birth certificate,

that gave us the mother's name. That is where I start. The first

step was to look at entries in the birth index. That is the record of

everyone born in the UK. I found one Fort Evelyn Branson. There is

only one. It's for 1906. She used this information to track down her

birth certificate and eventually found her on the 1911 census.

she is. Aged five. Living at home with her mother. It is perfect

information, and their brothers and sisters, too. Next up was an

ancestry website, where it was found that someone has posted

information about Evelyn's Barber, Joyce's grandfather, as part of a

family tree. Papped contacted the woman online. Is she a living blood

relative? The reply came back saying that Joyce's mother was also

her grandmother. That means that this lady is a niece to Joyce. That

is incredible. What is even more amazing is that the contact has an

anti- June, who is still alive. She would be Joyce's sister. Incredibly,

she lives in Grimsby. It is time to tell Joyce what we found out and

show her for the first time a precious photo of her mum that her

niece has given us. Oh, that's lovely. I think it's wonderful that

I know I've got a photograph of her after all this time. She looks very

happy, doesn't she? Of course, we've got even more to tell her. We

know that she went on to have four other children. All of them died

apart from one. Right. Her name is June. She was born two years after

you. She lives writing in Grimsby. Amazing, isn't it? It is entirely

up to you but if you'd like, we could go to June, tell her about

you and then arrange a meeting between the two of you. If she

wants to. If she wants to and if you want to. Yeah. Can I think

about that? Of course you can. would like to think about it.

your time. It is a wonderful thing to know. I've got a sister. And a

picture of your mum. It's a lovely What a story! It's one thing going

out and making films for the show, but delivering life change in use.

It had such as huge impact on Joyce's life. It was incredible to

break this news to her and tell her that we'd found a photograph of her

mum. That was such as huge thing. Finally she was able to piece

together a little more about who she is and her life. I obviously

knew that she had a sister, so why have to hold that back. Then to

tell her that she had his sister. I won't tell you what happens. That

is coming up in a little while. It We can't wait to see part two. All

day, members of different cake clubs and the WI have been bringing

along their lovely creations do our along their lovely creations do our

best show tent, to enter our cake competition. All of these look

marvellous. The criteria was that the cakes had to have something to

do with Sheffield, whether it is a person, and iconic landmark may be.

Allen, you were a chef in the sitcom Whites, would you? I was.

you are qualified to judge this competition. There is no one better.

The what do you look for in a good cake, Alan? Chocolate, usually.

in that case, I can see the winner from here. I've already picked it.

Mind you, there might be chocolate in any of them. We have Vanessa

here. What was your inspiration? have a crockery cafe. And as a

cyclist, every good cycle ride ends at a cafe. It's a fruit cake.

really love these teacups. Alan gasp when he saw this one. The yes,

this is based on the fact that Sheffield is the greenest city in

Europe. So many trees surround Sheffield, so that's why I decided

to do that one. And we have our youngest Baker of the date. That

looks fantastic. It inspired me because I like football and

Sheffield United. That's a good reason. Do you belong to the

chocolate one? This one. Beautiful again. You belong to the chocolate

one. Yes. What does the chocolate ring mean? It's inspired by an old

Sheffield landmark about four decades ago. It's been knocked down

now but I thought it would be a good, easy cake to make. And you've

got some lavender on yours. Yes. Mine is inspired by the Peak

District. It uses local honey and lavender. It is inspired by the

greenery of Sheffield. according to the Great British

Bake-Off last night, lavender works well on cakes. I'm very impressed

by the trees and intricate decoration, but it is Sheffield and

you can't say no to the blades. Look at this wonderful cake. I

picked this one as the winner. Congratulations to our youngest

I would have gone for the Peak District one. The cake bakers of

Sheffield have really done their thing. Later, will be finding out

how our new choir are shaping up. This was them earlier on. They are

sounding very good. Despite the rain, and we did have a massive

deluge at about 1pm, people have been coming out in their droves. We

have literally thousands of viewers. With over 2 million trees and 80

public parks, Sheffield is one of the greenest cities in Europe. But

there's no excuse to stopping Look at that. Local Sheffield. Some

crops will do well, others will fail. It's just the nature of the

season. Sheffield has one of the biggest professional art scenes in

the country. Today, this happy bunch of amateurs are going to

recreate a piece for one of the city's famous sons. It is my first

time at art work. The last time I was about five years old with a

paint brush and a paint pot. I've never painted before. Our favourite

it has been the mud and the rain! My favourite thing has been

decorating the cup cakes, but I do like the bikes as well. With local

success stories such as Michael Vaughan and Jess Ennis, Sheffield

has a fine sporting pedigree. But for those only just about ready to

get off the couch, today has been a I thought it would be a bit of a

laugh, my husband has had a go at all the different strength tests

and flexibility tests because he's rubbish at things like that.

incentive to get on and do a bit more fitness. Amazing things are

happening in the history zone. We began back with the Iron Age tribes

here. Come right up to date and we've got to the music of Sheffield

in recent years. Tony Christie, he came from Sheffield, he gave us

As you could see, there's been loads to do in Sheffield. Aland and

I have raced around the fields. -- Alan. Angellica, you've been in

charge of a huge masterpiece we are about to reveal. I will reveal it.

The wonderful people of Sheffield have been recreating a masterpiece.

Joseph MacIntyre was a Sheffield lad and it has been cut into 96

canvas squares. I think we should reveal it. Are you ready? I'm ready.

Absolutely fantastic. You can see this painting on display for a

month at Weston Park Museum in Sheffield. Go along there to see it.

What do you think? It is pretty good! Pretty good? It is brilliant.

Some of the squares could do with another go. But generally amazing.

Her the only dodgy thing was your unveiling of the painting. We will

go to mat and Christine for some gardening. Indeed. We have got a

massive screen here and it looks amazing, that art work. There are

lot of gardening people here. Christine is in charge. Absolutely.

I in supervising five local groups that up planting and they will take

them home and look after them. We have got the scouts and the

Brownies. Let's have a quick word. Will you get some kind of

environmental badge for this? You don't know? What is your favourite

plant? Probably this one. It will look nice in the autumn. That is

the idea. For a will look beautiful all year round. A spectacular plant.

Colour in the autumn. Pass the winter progresses, these dark,

plants will look better. -- dark coloured plants. Every single one

of these will look brilliant through the winter. Let's have a

little wonder. You're doing very well, girls. Let's nip down here

from the local squash club. We have a world champion here. Nick Matthew.

You must be good at squashing them down! I'm better at squash...

you arrange these? For five helped them arrange them and now they are

planting them so they will look good. If you have never planted

before, you can lose the plot very quickly. As a planting Guide,...

Have you done a lot of planting before? No. You have to look after

this plant. No. A break it to you gently! We will go all the way down

to the very bottom, to the Children's Hospital charity. Is

that where this is going to go? This is going to go in Weston Park,

just in front of the Children's Hospital. You all work in the

hospital. We do, I'm a doctor at the Children's Hospital. Her I'm an

Executive PA. I'm a matron. Do you do a lot of gardening? Not at the

hospital, I do have a garden. you all promised to look after

these? Yes. We will be back later to see how they look. While this

lot have been flowering the city, one artist is planning a sculpture

that will tower over it. Alex Riley on a big man coming to town.

Nothing said -- says you're approaching Sheffield like the

cooling towers. But now they've gone, the area is said to be

transformed by a new landmark. The huge piece of public art entitled

Nice to meet you. I was expecting it to be bigger. This is only a

model, about 30 centimetres. big will it be when it is on the

site? He is sitting down, altogether it is about 30 metres

tall. That is pretty high. What was the inspiration? Steel in Sheffield

and Rotherham has such a reputation across the world. I thought

something like this might be a good piece to represent people who

worked in those industries. It is heavy! As both an art lover and a

keen motorist, I'm excited about how the man of Steel will interact

spatially with the M1 and the A361. You'll be able to view the art work

at 70 mph on two different levels. That is what I call an art gallery!

Anthony Gormley's the Angel of the North said the President for

roadside viewing in 1998. Since then, communities across the UK

have been falling over themselves to create something equally huge

and deeply meaningful. Rise, symbolising a new chapter in

Belfast's history, was constructed in 2011. Damien Hirst plans to

build Verity, a bronze clad pregnant girl wielding scale spinel

settled for appear that goes up and not so long. That big horse in Kent

is all off. When dream was conditioned -- commissioned on the

M62 near St Helens, part of the proposal considered whether it

would increase the number of road accidents. A reported 35 million

vehicles pass by here every year. The main question about public art

projects like this is whether they truly enriched our lives. How have

the people of St Helens embrace this idea? A mixed reaction! We've

had 64,000 visitors in one year from all over the world. Russia,

China, America, New Zealand, Australia. They've come here. We

would never have had that before. What we are hoping for, it will do

for St Helens South what Angel of the North has done for Gateshead.

It seems the more widespread roadside art becomes, the more

challenging it is to catch the eye and interest of its mobile audience.

It is going to be great! Are you a fan of La Joe Hart? I love the

Angel of the North. It could have gone either way. But everybody in

the north-east embraced it straight away and ditties usually loved.

you call your wife Your Angel of the North? My wife? Anyway, you are

back on the road. You have a tour coming up. It is called Life is

Pain. The name of my show! Is it ironic as might I thought it was a

good idea for a title and I saw that boaster and I thought this was

a talk about suicide followed by an actual suicide. It is tongue-in-

cheek. Life is Pain, of course, but it is also full of silly nonsense

as well. I'm sure people will be shouting, why have they been 13

years? Sheer laziness. I last did stand-up comedy in the 1990s and a

slightly fell out of love with the motorways. Then I did some TV and

then I met my wife and had children. For years have gone by and last

year we went to Australia and did QI live in Australia in theatres.

That gave us a shot in the arm for QI as well. I also did a stand-up

tour and I just loved it. I thought I would do that when I got home.

You showcased some of the new staff in Edinburgh recently. How did that

go down? For I loved it. I don't go in for a lot of cultural references.

I didn't have to change anything in Australia. It is about family life

and sex toys. A right! After 13 Sorry. 13 years... By was very

nervous. A few weeks ago, I did a charity night for the teenage

Cancer Trust at the Albert Hall and Jason was introducing and I had to

do a spot there. Jimmy Carr was on before me letting off these huge

comedic hand grenades. I thought, what am I doing? And once I was

back on with the microphone, it felt great. I felt like I was back

doing what I do. He said the best thing about stand-up is you don't

have a boss, you can say what you like. You can't get cancelled after

one series! Brilliant. Be it is up to you. You've wanted to do it

since you were very little. Is it right that you write a sitcom at

11? That is not right. I wrote quite an amusing novel which took

up 21 pages of my exercise book when I was about eight. Brilliant.

They ask us to write a story and one page was considered a good

effort. I was a bit of a freak. I've always liked stories. Moving

away from comedy for a second. What? Why? We have to speak about

Sheffield being amazing in the Olympics. Paralympics starting

tonight. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.

in Sheffield. He was a steelworker. We asked him to share some of his

memories about working with a metal Steele. From skyscrapers to cutlery,

become permanently welded together in a story that began hundreds of

years ago. References to knives from Sheffield date back to the

14th century, with its combination of coal, iron ore and five rivers,

it was an ideal site for steel production. 200 years ago, water

wells like this were used to harness the power of Sheffield

rivers. And drive rhinestones like this. It meant they could mass-

produce steel blades and grind them Cover generations, cutting edge

production techniques were developed here. My grandad was a

steelworker for over 50 years. Hello! Since I was small, he's told

me about life at the works. You've lived in and around Sheffield or

your life. How has the city changed since you were lit young? In the

1940s until the 1960s, you wouldn't have seen across this barely

diseases. People were dying from these situations. On bad days, you

could see so it in the atmosphere in your own home, in the room but

it was a hard place to live. 1913, Sheffield steel industry made

Now better known as stainless steel. My grandad worked on the very same

site was stainless-steel was developed. When he started, it

specialised in metal for submarines, ships and aeroplanes. I started

work on April 1st, 1946. It was a completely alien land. The noise,

the dirt, you could taste the sulphur in the atmosphere. You must

have had loads of good memories, but were they are bad memories as

well? There were bad memories and they were in the 1970s and 1980s.

The steel industry was being decimated, all of us were in danger

of losing our jobs. A so by the 1970s and 1980s, the rust had set

were quite willing them to help us and show us. It was heavy work.

excellent acceleration skills. To see how the animals do it, I put

I've done some crazy things to experience what some animals can do.

Running as fast as a head, or catching fish Lakhan Ospreys. But

there are some animals that can stand a huge pall of gravity, known

as G force. G-forces what you feel on a roller coaster when you are

accelerating rapidly, slowing down dramatically or pulling out of that

dive. It is the extra force of gravity pulling on your insides.

For some animals that force is a way of life, big time. The

peregrine falcon is the fastest animal on the planet, reaching

around 200 mph. But when it pours out of its dive, it can experience

as much as 25 G-force. We can briefly experience between

100 times its own length. When it leaves it puts its body through 400

g. But when it comes to G-force, even the best fighter pilot would

find it difficult to reach double figures without losing

consciousness. So why can't we do the same, and what happens to us

when we try? This fighter pilot testing facility in Hampshire has

Britain's only human centrifuge machine. It has been used for

research in both aviation and space travel for the last 60 years. Why

are human so poor at coping with extreme G-force? The main problem

is the size of us in comparison to a lot of smaller creatures. What

happens is as the gravity increases, then everything in our body begins

to wait a lot more than usual. That includes the blood that circulates

around the body. The heart has great difficulty getting bad blood

but Britain's front gardens can confirm - yes, it is. Here in

Halifax, the summer shrubs, hydrangeas and roses are in bloom

everywhere. There's no place for shrinking violets! The perennials

of bold and brash, a real eye- popping colour. Hot, sizzling

cacophony of flaming red. They remind me of the infernal fires of

hell! Driving around, it's not long before I find something that really

stands out. A hydrangea, and look at the buddleia. Look at that! What

Look at it! We get Red 4 winds round this neck of the woods as

well. And you wouldn't know looking at that. But you've obviously got

green fingers to get back to flower like that. Magic! After a short

summer shower, a whopping fuchsia listens and shines, adding a splash

of glorious colour to the roadside. Fantastic cascades of red and blue,

What do you do to make it look so good? It gets a lot of manure and

we tried to prune back what is behind it so it will get light from

all sides. That is exactly... If a plant is happy, leave it alone.

Glorious. Look at that beautiful cloud of flowers. You have

positioned it very well because it is a sun lover. Yes. The sunlight

coming through it, lighting the leaves from behind so you get a lot

of different colours. Like light going through a stained-glass

window. You can see why it is called a smoke plant because it

looks hazy. Do people admire it as they come by? Occasionally we

notice people walking past and stopping. They have a little look.
