0:00:54 > 0:00:59# WOR-FM New York... #
0:01:00 > 0:01:03DJ: 'Oh, my God, I can't believe it's the last day of summer.
0:01:03 > 0:01:04'Fall begins tomorrow.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07'I'm walking around and, for the first time ever, I'm seeing sweaters
0:01:07 > 0:01:10'and jackets and scarves everywhere. Welcome to the show.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12'We got lots to talk about today.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17'New York is the largest city in the United States,
0:01:17 > 0:01:21'with a population of almost eight and a half million people,
0:01:21 > 0:01:24'it's a melting pot for immigrants from all over the world, with
0:01:24 > 0:01:28'as many as 800 languages spoken across the city.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32'I'm heading off the beaten track and starting my trip in Harlem.'
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Yeah! New York, baby!
0:01:34 > 0:01:36CHEERING AND WHOOPING
0:01:36 > 0:01:40'Harlem is in uptown Manhattan and it's been made famous over
0:01:40 > 0:01:43'the years by Hollywood for all the wrong reasons,
0:01:43 > 0:01:46'so I wanted to go and find out what life was really like
0:01:46 > 0:01:49'on the famous 125th Street.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55'The first thing I noticed was the village
0:01:55 > 0:01:57'atmosphere in the heart of a big city.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00'There was a real sense of community here - street vendors,
0:02:00 > 0:02:03'families, just a really relaxed atmosphere.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06'So who best to ask about Harlem than a stallholder?'
0:02:06 > 0:02:10Tell me about the community. The Harlem community...
0:02:10 > 0:02:12from Central Park on up,
0:02:12 > 0:02:16it was a place where blacks began to migrate and focus on building up not
0:02:16 > 0:02:19only a residential standpoint but also a business standpoint,
0:02:19 > 0:02:23when a lot of segregation was going on back in the day.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26And so, from there, you know, for the Harlem renaissance,
0:02:26 > 0:02:29the cultural renaissance, a lot of poets, a lot of pastors,
0:02:29 > 0:02:31from Malcolm X, Louis Farrakhan,
0:02:31 > 0:02:35everybody always used to focus in here, in the Harlem community, to
0:02:35 > 0:02:40try to turn it around and engage our people from a point of enrichment.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42And I can see that the bean pot
0:02:42 > 0:02:45was one of those things that was very popular.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Muhammad Ali and Malcolm X, right on 116th Street, used to love
0:02:48 > 0:02:51this bean pot, eat it all the time. Really? Yes. Yes.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56What's the book? Oh, this is the Holy Bible.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00This is first in my life, the creator, God.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03I'm a Hebrew, as you can see, I'm a Hebrew,
0:03:03 > 0:03:07an Israelite Jew, chosen by the creator, God.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13I hope you've made me look skinny.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17Well, YOU gotta do that. I just record what I see. OK.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Hasaun, we've got one final task for you.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25We need you to read a question for us.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32Coming live from the Brother Soul original bean-pot stand,
0:03:32 > 0:03:34we got a question for the viewers here at home.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37The New York Public Library is the second-largest library in the US.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40It was used in the film Ghostbusters.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43What are the marble lions that recline outside
0:03:43 > 0:03:44the New York Public Library?
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Is it, one, Romulus and Remus,
0:03:47 > 0:03:50two, Patience and Fortitude,
0:03:50 > 0:03:52or three, Neyla and Rajan?
0:03:52 > 0:03:56Remember, if you're playing along at home, to note down the number
0:03:56 > 0:03:59that corresponds to what you think is the right answer.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02You'll need these numbers in sequence to enter
0:04:02 > 0:04:04the competition at the end of the show.
0:04:09 > 0:04:14'Millions of New Yorkers use the transit system each weekday.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17'I'm on my way to one of the most visited tourist sites in the city.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22'Surprisingly, it's not the Empire State Building or
0:04:22 > 0:04:25'the Statue of Liberty - it's a train station...
0:04:25 > 0:04:27'Grand Central Terminal.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33'Affectionately known as Grand Central Station, it is, in terms
0:04:33 > 0:04:38'of the number of platforms, the largest train station in the world.'
0:04:38 > 0:04:41So, you're the man with all the facts about this place. Well, yes.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43I'm loaded up with facts, but, actually, it's
0:04:43 > 0:04:48the place itself that has so many secrets and mysteries and oddities.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52This 36,000-square-foot main concourse behind us. It's beautiful.
0:04:52 > 0:04:53Well, you know, at one point it wasn't.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56This place was once thick and black with dirt,
0:04:56 > 0:04:59had 1,000 homeless people and was going to be torn down.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07750,000 people coming through here,
0:05:07 > 0:05:09the entire population of San Francisco.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11750,000 a year?
0:05:11 > 0:05:13A day. A day, coming through here.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20And here's a little secret. All these people coming through here,
0:05:20 > 0:05:24they don't realise that there is a jewel in plain view,
0:05:24 > 0:05:27right here in the terminal, worth $10 to $20 million.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Clear off. Oh, it's true.
0:05:29 > 0:05:34In fact, right down there at the information booth, every
0:05:34 > 0:05:39face of that four-faced clock is made out of the precious jewel opal.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42It has been valued at $10 to $20 million
0:05:42 > 0:05:44and nobody has shoplifted that.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Shows you how honest New Yorkers are, right?
0:05:49 > 0:05:54Few people know that within the 49 acres of this terminal
0:05:54 > 0:05:56resides a secret train.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58It was built at vast expense...
0:05:58 > 0:06:01vast expense during the Great Depression.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04They did this even though they knew no New York Central Railroad
0:06:04 > 0:06:07customer was ever going to ride there.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11Now, our president from 1933 to 1945 had polio. He couldn't walk.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13And, believe it or not, most of the American
0:06:13 > 0:06:16public had no idea their own president had polio.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20It was kept from the public, kept from the press. No-one was to know.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23So, when he would arrive in New York City,
0:06:23 > 0:06:29on that train would be a train car that carried enclosed within it
0:06:29 > 0:06:31the presidential limousine.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34That train would come up to that secret platform,
0:06:34 > 0:06:36a door would open up... Here? Yes.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40The President would be driven off of that train car onto
0:06:40 > 0:06:44the platform, directly onto an elevator that would lift him up,
0:06:44 > 0:06:48directly up into the Waldorf Astoria,
0:06:48 > 0:06:52where he'd be back out right into the grand ballroom sight unseen.
0:06:52 > 0:06:57And his secret train car was left there, abandoned there,
0:06:57 > 0:06:59and it still exists to this very day.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Dan, I will kiss you if you let me see that train. You know what?
0:07:02 > 0:07:05I'll show it to you anyway, not to worry.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12'Well, I didn't think the promise of a kiss would land me in one of the
0:07:12 > 0:07:17'noisiest places in New York, but I have a feeling this'll be worth it.'
0:07:17 > 0:07:20MACHINERY ROARS This train car on the top,
0:07:20 > 0:07:23where there should be ridge vents, they're actually gun ports
0:07:23 > 0:07:26so that they could fire out in case they were attacked.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30The entire train car is armour-clad
0:07:30 > 0:07:33and the suspension systems are unique.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Because of polio,
0:07:35 > 0:07:38he couldn't take any rattling motion of that train.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40He'd flop over.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43It is incredible that we're looking at this now.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47It's just kept exactly the way it was on the day it was left here.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Only in America! Yeah.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08OK, everybody at home, here's your question.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12Right, Grand Central Terminal covers 49 acres.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16Within the 49 acres is a secret train especially built,
0:08:16 > 0:08:18but for whom?
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Was it, one, the Vanderbilt family,
0:08:21 > 0:08:25two, special guests for the Waldorf Astoria,
0:08:25 > 0:08:33or three, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, our president from 1933 to 1945?
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Don't forget, if you're playing along at home tonight,
0:08:37 > 0:08:42to write down the number of what you reckon is the correct answer.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45You'll need this at the end of the show for your chance to win
0:08:45 > 0:08:47a week in the world in New York.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56'New York is one of the financial capitals of the world.
0:08:57 > 0:09:02'At the charging bull, tourists take a rub of its bits for luck!
0:09:02 > 0:09:04'And right next to it,
0:09:04 > 0:09:08'I came across this guy with a little red carpet, and he was hoping
0:09:08 > 0:09:12'his dreams can come true and he can make his fortune on Wall Street.'
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Welcome to my not-so-red-carpet life,
0:09:19 > 0:09:22where everyone is a celebrity because there's something to
0:09:22 > 0:09:24be celebrated about each and every one of us.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28Who was the last person you said "I love you" to? My daddy. Awww!
0:09:28 > 0:09:30You don't look a day over...
0:09:30 > 0:09:3359. Thank you! I like that!
0:09:33 > 0:09:35What are you trying to achieve?
0:09:35 > 0:09:38My dream is to become a red-carpet host
0:09:38 > 0:09:40and host my own red-carpet specials.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43And it's important to be famous to you, is it?
0:09:44 > 0:09:47LAUGHS Yeah, why not?
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Everyone wants to know that they matter.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53Why do you think fame means you matter?
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Cos that's dangerous. It is. That's why I worry about this place.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Everybody wants to be famous, everybody wants to be big,
0:09:59 > 0:10:02everybody wants to be THE thing. I know. I got the bug.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04I got it and I got it bad.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10'Anything goes on the streets of this city,
0:10:10 > 0:10:14'where it seems people are not afraid to express themselves.'
0:10:15 > 0:10:20A special appearance by Rat Boy! Look at this! Oh, my God.
0:10:20 > 0:10:21You're hardcore.
0:10:23 > 0:10:28'This really is an eclectic mix of people from all walks of life.'
0:10:28 > 0:10:30I've got to say, it's not too often I meet
0:10:30 > 0:10:33people in the street that have got shoes like that...
0:10:37 > 0:10:42..and dressed as elegantly as you! Is this typical New York?
0:10:42 > 0:10:46Well, it's typical for me. I live fashion. I'm a shoe designer.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48You know, it's how I express my creativity. And the thing,
0:10:48 > 0:10:51of course, in New York, is that you can be yourself...
0:10:52 > 0:10:55..where you're not going to be judged. Is that right, or not?
0:10:55 > 0:10:58I mean, I think the perception is you could be totally out there
0:10:58 > 0:11:00and people won't judge,
0:11:00 > 0:11:03but I actually have to say that's not 100% true.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06I do get a lot of looks, especially from women,
0:11:06 > 0:11:09who are looking at me like, "How can you be walking in those shoes?"
0:11:09 > 0:11:12It's like they're almost angry at me, like,
0:11:12 > 0:11:14"How dare you wear a shoe that high!"
0:11:16 > 0:11:18How much would a pair of shoes be?
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Um, these, you know, they start,
0:11:22 > 0:11:26like, opening price point is probably about $600.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29And that's the bottom price? That's the bottom.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31These are luxury positionings. Going up to what?
0:11:31 > 0:11:35If you have Swarovski crystals, it could be upwards of, like,
0:11:35 > 0:11:391,200, 1,300. And people pay that? They do.
0:11:39 > 0:11:44Performers, singers like Beyonce, Lady Gaga, you know,
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Taylor Swift performing on stage wearing my shoes.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51# Let's do it... #
0:11:53 > 0:11:55'Next up, Times Square.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59'Now, I'm bound to be able to find a sane quiz master here.'
0:11:59 > 0:12:03I love your hair. Oh, thank you! That is large!
0:12:05 > 0:12:08So, I'm still looking around here for ordinary New Yorkers to
0:12:08 > 0:12:10be our hosts of our questions.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13And remember, you'll have a chance, if you answer them,
0:12:13 > 0:12:16to win a week in the world in this wonderful city.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20'You never know who you'll run into in this place, like this guy.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22'I know what you're thinking, my long-lost twin.'
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Shout. In 1790...
0:12:26 > 0:12:30Louder! 1790... 1796...
0:12:30 > 0:12:31So, we're having difficulties
0:12:31 > 0:12:33because we can't hear her read the question.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35New York City was the capital...
0:12:35 > 0:12:39Welcome to Times Square! YEAH!
0:12:39 > 0:12:41That's what we need!
0:12:41 > 0:12:45# Oh, say, can you see...? #
0:12:45 > 0:12:47You're sacked, Liberty. OK, let me do it again.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Can you be as loud as her?
0:12:49 > 0:12:55# By the dawn's early light...! #
0:12:55 > 0:12:57'No shortage of entertainers,
0:12:57 > 0:13:00'but I need to find someone to ask a question.
0:13:00 > 0:13:01'Will we give it one more go?'
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Good! Yes, good!
0:13:04 > 0:13:09Yeah, it's a question. Will you read it out for us?
0:13:09 > 0:13:11You speaking in Spanish?
0:13:11 > 0:13:12Spanish?!
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Here's your question.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21The charging bull, here in the heart of Wall Street -
0:13:21 > 0:13:24who was the guerrilla artist who designed it and placed it
0:13:24 > 0:13:27in front of the New York stock exchange in the dead of night?
0:13:27 > 0:13:30One, Saul Hernandez,
0:13:30 > 0:13:32two, Arturo Di Modica,
0:13:32 > 0:13:36three, Jason deCaires?
0:13:36 > 0:13:37Don't forget what we need you to do tonight.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41Write down the number of the right answer and keep it
0:13:41 > 0:13:45until the end of the programme to be in with a chance of winning
0:13:45 > 0:13:48a week in the world for two, here in New York.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57'Away from the relentless pace of the city is
0:13:57 > 0:13:59'Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn,
0:13:59 > 0:14:05'the final resting place of some of America's most famous residents.'
0:14:05 > 0:14:06Wow, what a special place.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10Beautiful, away from the hustle and, you know,
0:14:10 > 0:14:13the madness of the rest of New York.
0:14:13 > 0:14:18It really is a very special place in New York City.
0:14:18 > 0:14:24And we are surrounded by urban Brooklyn, but yet you come in here
0:14:24 > 0:14:29and, just a few paces in, you're in a totally different environment.
0:14:30 > 0:14:36We have over half a million people buried here. A lot of famous people.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39New York, Jeff, it's all about status, isn't it,
0:14:39 > 0:14:41who has the biggest, who's the richest?
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Does that work in death, as well?
0:14:43 > 0:14:47Yes, it definitely does, and so the size of the obelisk or
0:14:47 > 0:14:50the size of the tomb, and the location.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54John Matthews - tell us about him.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Yes, he was the soda-fountain king.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00He introduced carbonated drinks
0:15:00 > 0:15:04and particularly flavours for his carbonated drinks.
0:15:06 > 0:15:11We have a number of Irish immigrants who made it big in America.
0:15:11 > 0:15:16John Mackay discovered the Comstock lode out in Nevada, silver,
0:15:16 > 0:15:18and made millions and millions of dollars.
0:15:18 > 0:15:23They wanted people to know as they went by their tomb years and
0:15:23 > 0:15:25years later, and generations later,
0:15:25 > 0:15:28that they had made it big in America.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Mackay's, in fact, is heated
0:15:31 > 0:15:34and has electricity in it. Why?!
0:15:34 > 0:15:37My theory is that they wanted it heated
0:15:37 > 0:15:41so that priests would be that much more encouraged to come in there
0:15:41 > 0:15:44and pray over their mortal remains.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Is it still heated to this day?
0:15:46 > 0:15:49They do pay a gas bill every month.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51So it's...
0:15:51 > 0:15:52So...

0:15:54 > 0:15:57So they're paying a heating bill after they're dead.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Well, I'm not sure that the heat is active at this point,
0:16:00 > 0:16:03but they have that possibility, certainly.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07STEPHEN LAUGHS Sorry. Well, each to their own.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10And, obviously, as I've been looking around here,
0:16:10 > 0:16:13we've got some very famous brand names, as well.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16It doesn't get more famous than Colgate, does it? Mm-hm.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Yes, and so we have quite a few brand names here.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24What about your death? Are you going to live here when you die?
0:16:24 > 0:16:27In a gas-heated...
0:16:27 > 0:16:31I don't know about gas-heated, but I will be interred here,
0:16:31 > 0:16:34right next to the Tiffanys up on the hill here.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Spend my eternity...
0:16:44 > 0:16:48If there's a tourist that doesn't come and have a look at this,
0:16:48 > 0:16:51and stays in Times Square and the Empire State,
0:16:51 > 0:16:54they're missing an awful lot. No, no, I agree with you completely.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57It really is a very special landscape.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06I'm standing at Green-Wood in front of the largest tomb here,
0:17:06 > 0:17:10and it's the Steinway family, of piano fame.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14And the question for you today is...
0:17:14 > 0:17:19how many spaces are there in the Steinway tomb for caskets?
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Is it one - 32,
0:17:22 > 0:17:25two - 256,
0:17:25 > 0:17:28or three - 128?
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Remember, if you're playing along at home, to note down the number
0:17:31 > 0:17:35that corresponds to what you think is the right answer.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37You'll need these numbers in sequence to enter
0:17:37 > 0:17:40the competition at the end of the show.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45MARCHING BAND PLAYS
0:17:47 > 0:17:51'The San Gennaro festival is held in September each year
0:17:51 > 0:17:54'on the historic Mulberry Street of Little Italy.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59'It served as a first home in America for hundreds of thousands
0:17:59 > 0:18:03'of Italian immigrants who came to New York to improve their lives.'
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Who was Gennaro? A saint. He's a saint.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Patron saint of something. I forget exactly.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17STEPHEN LAUGHS
0:18:17 > 0:18:19We love him here.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25'This 11-day event celebrates the martyrdom of San Gennaro,
0:18:25 > 0:18:28'the patron saint of Naples.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32'Each year, the saint's blood, held in Naples, is checked to see
0:18:32 > 0:18:36'if it has liquefied. If it has, it'll be a great year.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38'And if not, it doesn't look so good.'
0:18:39 > 0:18:41When his blood's liquefied,
0:18:41 > 0:18:44we have a peaceful year, as we do this year,
0:18:44 > 0:18:47because his blood liquefied today.
0:18:47 > 0:18:52And that is attested to by many people who look at it.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56The year that it didn't liquefy, the volcano erupted. What year was that?
0:18:56 > 0:19:00Oh, I... Please! OK. I'll get you the pamphlet! OK!
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Oh, the best, everything over here. The best!
0:19:12 > 0:19:14What's your name? Louise.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Louise. Tell us why this is so special, Louise.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21Well, because this is the Red Mike Festival Band and my husband,
0:19:21 > 0:19:25Red Mike, started this feast in 1929 when he arrived from Italy.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29Your husband? Well, he's now deceased, so I took over.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Oh-ho! Can I walk with you a little bit? Sure!
0:19:32 > 0:19:36Right, don't let me keep you back from the cymbals, now.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Have you ever walked on the 12th of July?
0:19:49 > 0:19:53'Well, this NYPD cop was going to do one of two things -
0:19:53 > 0:19:56'either arrest me or ask a question.'
0:19:57 > 0:19:58STEPHEN LAUGHS
0:20:02 > 0:20:05OK, everybody at home, here's your question.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08New York has five main boroughs - Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan,
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Staten Island and the Bronx.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14Which of them was known as Richmond up until 1975?
0:20:14 > 0:20:15Was it, one, Queens,
0:20:15 > 0:20:17or was it two, Staten Island,
0:20:17 > 0:20:19or was it three, the Bronx?
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Don't forget, if you're playing along at home, to
0:20:21 > 0:20:26note down the number that you reckon corresponds to the right answer.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29You'll need that, along with the others, to have a chance to
0:20:29 > 0:20:33win a week in the world for two here in New York.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38'Rising up from Ground Zero is Freedom Tower,
0:20:38 > 0:20:41'standing proud on the New York skyline.
0:20:41 > 0:20:46'66 floors up, Belfast artist and film-maker Marcus Robinson
0:20:46 > 0:20:51'has dedicated his life documenting the rebuilding of the fallen towers.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56'He invited me to chat to him in what has to be one of the most
0:20:56 > 0:20:59'spectacular art studios on the planet.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06'I've been here for the last ten years and I've been drawing,
0:21:06 > 0:21:10'filming and painting the rebuilding of the World Trade Center.'
0:21:10 > 0:21:13So, I came here with this dream of wanting to film
0:21:13 > 0:21:15the whole of the rebuilding, all the way from beginning to
0:21:15 > 0:21:18end, and at that time I hadn't realised it was going to take
0:21:18 > 0:21:19more than 15 years.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23And what inspired you, at that first moment, to come out here?
0:21:23 > 0:21:29When the events of September 11th happened, I felt I had a sort of
0:21:29 > 0:21:32calling because the events of 9/11 really became
0:21:32 > 0:21:35part of the collective consciousness of the world.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Since that very first day when I came to film here,
0:21:37 > 0:21:40so many people have helped and supported the project,
0:21:40 > 0:21:43and I think it's because there's a genuine sense that making
0:21:43 > 0:21:46a story that is a celebration of humanity
0:21:46 > 0:21:49and a celebration of the diversity of New York City,
0:21:49 > 0:21:52that that is an important story to be told.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54It's a reminder of the tragedy, is it not?
0:21:54 > 0:21:58Yeah, I mean, the tragedy, in a way, is always present, but what I wanted
0:21:58 > 0:22:02to focus on was the incredible spirit of the people
0:22:02 > 0:22:04who are here rebuilding the site.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08'And I think one of the archetypal themes of New York City is
0:22:08 > 0:22:13'the idea of the iron workers towering above the city, really up
0:22:13 > 0:22:16'in the clouds, and I really wanted to be close to them
0:22:16 > 0:22:19'and to try and capture something of that spirit.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21'Every day, I take it as a blessing to be here.'
0:22:36 > 0:22:40'New York is a city of extremes, a city where billionaires
0:22:40 > 0:22:43'share the sidewalk with those down on their luck.
0:22:51 > 0:22:56'Lahang dons his mask to become Life, a superhero dedicated
0:22:56 > 0:23:00'to cycling the streets at night helping the less fortunate.'
0:23:08 > 0:23:11This man is a good man. He comes down here, he helps out, you know,
0:23:11 > 0:23:16gives us things like this, things that we need, and we appreciate it.
0:23:16 > 0:23:22You know? And I'm not just saying that for some socks.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26He comes down here from the heart and that's the beautiful thing.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Kind words, man. I appreciate the words.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31We are live in New York City at Babycastles.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33RAP MUSIC PLAYS
0:23:36 > 0:23:41'I had no inclination whatsoever to meet this man, but Jamel is
0:23:41 > 0:23:44'a local hip-hop artist and I was forced to go see him.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47'He's actually a nice guy, and he's taken his life struggles
0:23:47 > 0:23:49'and turned them into something positive.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52'Tonight, he's invited us along to his album launch.'
0:23:55 > 0:23:57The music embodies New York.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00You can see me - I got the little B-boy character.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03It's the voice of the voiceless, you know what I'm saying?
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Like, coming from a place where, you know, no hope,
0:24:06 > 0:24:09you know, poverty, you know what I'm saying?
0:24:09 > 0:24:13Low education. Where you grew up, is that how people felt around you?
0:24:13 > 0:24:14Yeah. No hope? Yeah.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17And hip-hop was like a outlet for us to release that stress
0:24:17 > 0:24:20and release that anger and release that pain, you know what I'm saying?
0:24:20 > 0:24:25# We got that w-w-w... We got the dope-dope-dope... #
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Where did you grow up? I grew up in Brooklyn, New York,
0:24:29 > 0:24:32in a very rough time period in New York where, you know,
0:24:32 > 0:24:36a lot of drugs plagued our neighbourhoods.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38It was during the crack epidemic,
0:24:38 > 0:24:40so a lot of things happened in those neighbourhoods
0:24:40 > 0:24:42that ravaged all kinds of families,
0:24:42 > 0:24:45and the thing that saved me was my music.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48# We got that dope-dope-dope... What we got? What we got?
0:24:48 > 0:24:50# Yeah!... #
0:24:53 > 0:24:57'Right, so I still need to find my last quiz masters,

0:25:19 > 0:25:23So we need you to ask them a question. Sure!
0:25:23 > 0:25:25But listen, if they come to New York for a week,
0:25:25 > 0:25:28they have to come and spend some money here at the table.

0:25:35 > 0:25:38He can't see it. He has cataracts.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Here comes the question.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49The world-famous Apollo Theater in Harlem is noted for launching
0:25:49 > 0:25:52the careers of many prominent African-American artists,
0:25:52 > 0:25:56but who made their first debut at the age of 12?
0:25:56 > 0:25:57Is it, one, Aretha Franklin...
0:25:57 > 0:26:00..is it one... ..is it two, Stevie Wonder...
0:26:00 > 0:26:03..is it three, Marvin Gaye? ..is it three, Marvin Gaye?
0:26:06 > 0:26:09If you're playing along at home, you should now be noting
0:26:09 > 0:26:14down the number that corresponds to what you reckon is your last answer,

0:26:29 > 0:26:32'Now, I know you're looking at me on screen right now thinking,
0:26:32 > 0:26:34' "How does he find those beautiful clothes?"

0:26:38 > 0:26:42The Blues Brothers. Can you dance? Go ahead, get a pair of shades.

0:26:50 > 0:26:52What about a dicky bow?
0:26:52 > 0:26:54A colourful dicky bow.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57A dicky bow. Do you not call these things dicky bows?
0:26:57 > 0:27:01Dicky bow... That's what I call Terry sometimes! Dicky-Boo!
0:27:01 > 0:27:04And I call you Action Momma. I bet you two do!

0:27:06 > 0:27:09I bet you didn't think you were doing this tonight, big boy.
0:27:09 > 0:27:14You can call me Dicky. Dicky? Yeah. Or Daddy.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16CHUCKLES I am not calling you Daddy.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20That's what I'm talking about, right there.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23That's hot.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Looks like you work on the meat stall of Tesco.
0:27:25 > 0:27:26STEPHEN LAUGHS
0:27:26 > 0:27:29It's the Penguin! Do you know how to tie a tie? I'm not the best at it.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33I think I would like you to do it for me, Daddy.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36See? They always end up calling me Daddy in the end.
0:27:36 > 0:27:41I like the sweater with the tie with your shirt. It just becomes...born!
0:27:41 > 0:27:43And you got your sexy back.

0:28:01 > 0:28:05Write those numbers down in the order they appeared on the show
0:28:05 > 0:28:08and these will create the pass code
