:00:00. > :00:07.and over the next half hour, Emma and I are going to
:00:08. > :00:13.guide you through the best of tonight's TV shows.
:00:14. > :00:21.Since we were with you last night, all this has been going on!
:00:22. > :00:37.Deal? Deal. What the heck?! People like me... It is perfect for a
:00:38. > :00:43.crowd. Is this a cheap bottle of Romanian wine? It might be, it is
:00:44. > :00:50.the power of suggestion! With an area of over 200 square kilometres
:00:51. > :00:54.to cover, it is a mammoth task. Being able to share the Highlands,
:00:55. > :01:00.such a special place, with the rest of the world is just tremendous.
:01:01. > :01:07.Coming up tonight, Holby City's newest general surgeon,
:01:08. > :01:10.Bernie Wolfe, AKA actress Jemma Redgrave,
:01:11. > :01:19.Keeping with the Holby theme, Susan Calman
:01:20. > :01:21.goes behind the scenes of the show's prosthetics department
:01:22. > :01:28.to find out how they make those operations look so realistic.
:01:29. > :01:33.Which is nice if you are having your tea!
:01:34. > :01:36.behind some of the most famous disasters in soapland,
:01:37. > :01:38.including Emmerdale's plane crash.
:01:39. > :01:40.But first, let's talk about some of the shows
:01:41. > :01:42.we think are worth watching tonight.
:01:43. > :01:46.is the award-winning Born To Be Different.
:01:47. > :01:48.Now in its ninth series, this documentary
:01:49. > :02:06.15 years ago, Channel 4 set out to follow the lives of six remarkable
:02:07. > :02:15.children. All born with disabilities. Is the camera rolling?
:02:16. > :02:20.As they have grown up, our cameras have captured their extraordinary
:02:21. > :02:25.journeys. As fast as you can, clever girl! I am not having any more
:02:26. > :02:28.operations! So gorgeous!
:02:29. > :02:31.The children featured are approaching their 16th birthdays,
:02:32. > :02:33.so they are now dealing with everyday teenage challenges,
:02:34. > :02:36.as well as issues most of us will never face.
:02:37. > :02:39.In this clip from tonight's episode, we catch up with competitive swimmer
:02:40. > :02:44.Hamish, who is chasing his dream to compete at the Rio Paralympics,
:02:45. > :02:52.but one thing he's not chasing is girls.
:02:53. > :03:00.What things that matter to you Hugill?
:03:01. > :03:07.What things that matter to you They are gross! Do you think you
:03:08. > :03:16.might meet someone at the World Championships? At the worlds, you
:03:17. > :03:19.are not looking for someone special, just looking to go to Rio. And then
:03:20. > :03:33.find one in Rio! And fantastic young man! They film
:03:34. > :03:36.with these children every two years, and there are some inspirational
:03:37. > :03:39.stories, but a great bunch of teenagers.
:03:40. > :03:43.it's on tonight at nine on Channel 4.
:03:44. > :03:45.There's loads of great mainstream TV,
:03:46. > :03:47.but if you dig a little deeper in the outer numbers,
:03:48. > :03:51.They have a brand-new series called How Things Work,
:03:52. > :03:55.The show takes a look inside everyday machines
:03:56. > :04:09.they take us literally into a carwash.
:04:10. > :04:23.Over 1000 components work in perfect unison. A conveyor belt that can all
:04:24. > :04:31.over 30 tonnes. Or giant brushes spin 90 times a minute. -- four. 40
:04:32. > :04:37.rinsing jets pump-out two litres of water every second.
:04:38. > :04:47.I have never felt that a carwash was more like Robocop! The only thing
:04:48. > :04:53.they cannot explain the inner workings of the human heart. Why
:04:54. > :04:57.doesn't she loved me anymore, Emma?! If, like me, you were raised on
:04:58. > :04:59.Sesame Street, this may be buying up your alley. This is tonight on
:05:00. > :05:12.Quest. Over on BBC Two at ten,
:05:13. > :05:15.it's the second episode at the biggest scrapyard
:05:16. > :05:19.in the North West. This is the second series,
:05:20. > :05:22.and owners Terry and Lyndsay are on the brink
:05:23. > :05:24.of throwing in the towel Tonight they're interviewing
:05:25. > :05:27.a new Italian employee, who's got the girls in the office
:05:28. > :05:32.a bit hot under the collar. I think there is an Italian
:05:33. > :05:35.downstairs, he is supposed to be a bit of all right. It is about time
:05:36. > :05:47.we had something to look at in this yard. Hi, how are you doing? Nice to
:05:48. > :05:54.meet you. Do you have tools? Yeah. Spanners? No, I am Italian.
:05:55. > :06:02.I have been on holiday to Spanners, it is lovely there! That is at nine
:06:03. > :06:05.tonight on BBC two. We will be bringing you more great programmes
:06:06. > :06:11.later, but now it is time to find out what you have been saying.
:06:12. > :06:15.who says that Rufus Hound reminds him of Jason King
:06:16. > :06:18.from the '70s detective series of the same name.
:06:19. > :06:29.Look at that?! Almost indistinguishable! I will add that
:06:30. > :06:31.to the long list of people that I look like.
:06:32. > :06:35.BBC One's Happy Valley seems to have an unlikely fan
:06:36. > :06:39.in Hellboy director Guillermo del Toro!
:06:40. > :06:44.It is sort of weird that he watches a gritty northern crime drama.
:06:45. > :06:46.He says Sarah Lancashire in Happy Valley is perfect
:06:47. > :06:50.and creates an amazing character.
:06:51. > :06:57.She absolutely is, Guillermo del Toro, but it is weird to think he is
:06:58. > :06:59.curled up on the sofa drawing demons and watching that!
:07:00. > :07:01.People were going crazy over Liverpudlian hunk Bretherton
:07:02. > :07:07.on BBC Two's University Challenge last night.
:07:08. > :07:14.Joanna Montgomery says Bretherton the most attractive
:07:15. > :07:28.That is a little bit rich, he is a man, he was there to be tested for
:07:29. > :07:32.his intelligence, not his looks! Keep them coming,
:07:33. > :07:33.using #TooMuchTV She's the newest arrival
:07:34. > :07:39.on one of TV's longest running medical dramas, Holby City,
:07:40. > :07:43.and from the looks of this clip surgeon Bernie Wolfe
:07:44. > :07:58.is taking no prisoners. Where the hell have you been? Don't
:07:59. > :08:02.insult my intelligence with another chain of command speech. He had a
:08:03. > :08:05.massive bleed which no-one picked up on because you insisted on caring
:08:06. > :08:10.for him yourself, but you let him down. This man to whom you say you
:08:11. > :08:16.owe everything. You're patient, your call, good luck with that. Wait! I
:08:17. > :08:20.would like you in theatre, please. I like her in the theatre,
:08:21. > :08:35.and on the telly too - Nice to see you! We are very happy
:08:36. > :08:42.to have you here. For anyone who has not seen Bernie Wolfe, what is she
:08:43. > :08:50.up to? Oh, what brought her here to Holby? And injury that she picked
:08:51. > :08:54.out in a car that rolled, an IED hit the car she was travelling in
:08:55. > :08:58.Afghanistan, where she was teaching medics, she is an army medic, and
:08:59. > :09:10.she was flown straight back, not to Brize Norton but still Holby City
:09:11. > :09:11.handy! She was, although it was terrifying, she was operated on
:09:12. > :09:29.successfully, are, by the team. -- hurray. And after recovering from
:09:30. > :09:34.open heart surgery, she was offered a job, confusing, isn't it? I do not
:09:35. > :09:41.know which is more mental, referring to yourself in the third person
:09:42. > :09:44.or... Really strange! She is a really interesting character,
:09:45. > :09:51.because she works in a world where there is no NHS politics, where she
:09:52. > :09:54.is in charge completely of the environment that she works in, and
:09:55. > :10:00.she is now in a situation where there is a great deal of oversight,
:10:01. > :10:07.management, and politics, and it is not her thing. So there is a lot of
:10:08. > :10:11.room for clashes. I love the fact that she is quite feisty, she has
:10:12. > :10:16.already given Jac Naylor a piece of her mind, are we going to see more
:10:17. > :10:19.of that? Yes, she is extremely confident in her own abilities, some
:10:20. > :10:27.would say arrogant. I think she is just confident in our own abilities!
:10:28. > :10:33.And she is not afraid to say so. But she is... And she is tough, but she
:10:34. > :10:38.is warm, but I think that she will stand her ground against anybody,
:10:39. > :10:44.which is great. It is always good to see that. It is, and it is great to
:10:45. > :10:51.play, because you know, as a performer, you always think that you
:10:52. > :10:57.could have done it better. Right. I think she really thinks that she did
:10:58. > :11:02.its great! A woman of absolute confidence. Yes! When you are on the
:11:03. > :11:06.battlefield, you have to just get it done. You didn't have any medical
:11:07. > :11:11.qualifications before you took on this role, was there a lot of
:11:12. > :11:21.research to do once you knew you would be stepping into it? I did,
:11:22. > :11:25.well, I worked with Mike, Medical Mike, one of the brilliant medical
:11:26. > :11:31.advisers, he is a nurse, and he taught me suturing on a prostatic in
:11:32. > :11:42.the brilliant prosthetics lab that they have. -- on a prosthetic. So I
:11:43. > :11:47.worked with him, and I didn't... I haven't been into hospital to watch
:11:48. > :11:51.an operation, but we have consultants on the show, consultant
:11:52. > :11:56.surgeons who advise and help us as we go along. So it is like a Rolling
:11:57. > :12:03.research. But I have done a play, a few years ago, and I have been on
:12:04. > :12:10.tour in America with it, we did a command performance at the Pentagon,
:12:11. > :12:13.actually! Yeah, and I played an army medic who had been working in
:12:14. > :12:19.Afghanistan, and we did a lot of research around that. That is quite
:12:20. > :12:25.handy! I am not squeamish at all, he is, but do you get squeamish with
:12:26. > :12:31.the gory stuff? No, it is fabulous! I am like you, I am fascinated, I
:12:32. > :12:37.want to know more, the only thing that has made me squeamish, one of
:12:38. > :12:44.the actors we were working with, a visiting surgeon, it was like a
:12:45. > :12:52.carpentry set that he had, and he had to put a bone back together,
:12:53. > :12:56.yeah, yeah! With Boltz, basically, nails and bolts. And he was quite
:12:57. > :13:03.gung ho about the twisting, and you could hear it as it was twisting.
:13:04. > :13:07.You would be quite full on with this, and the guy said, no, imagine
:13:08. > :13:16.you are putting together two porcelain plates. That made me feel
:13:17. > :13:22.a little peculiar. You are going to be in this for a while? No, yeah,
:13:23. > :13:26.they originally asked me for six months, they had a really good idea
:13:27. > :13:31.about the character, and I thought she sounded great. And I started,
:13:32. > :13:38.and within a few weeks they said, would I continue for a year? Nice! I
:13:39. > :13:43.think she is so multifaceted, she is so interesting and so dynamic, and
:13:44. > :13:48.it is such... It is good that you feel that way, because you could be
:13:49. > :13:54.in it for a while if other medical dramas are anything to go by. All BC
:13:55. > :14:05.has been on air for 17 years, 809 episodes so far. -- Holby City.
:14:06. > :14:15.Casualty is even older, 986 episodes. Good God! 1000 would be
:14:16. > :14:24.unbeatable, write?! No, ABC's General Hospital has got 13,510
:14:25. > :14:31.episodes, including the one going out today! Bloody hell! Sorry about
:14:32. > :14:36.that! It is absolutely fine. We were talking about skewering bones
:14:37. > :14:46.together. Let's hear it for the brilliant Jemma Redgrave!
:14:47. > :14:55.Gemma paid great service to the prosthetics lab. We heard it had
:14:56. > :15:00.great skill and beauty, so we sent Susan Coleman to go behind the
:15:01. > :15:05.scenes to see what they do. Warning it is a little gruesome. If you are
:15:06. > :15:10.sat there enjoying your tea. You might want to look away now. We are
:15:11. > :15:16.about to GP behind the scenes of Holtby City. I'm a huge fan of
:15:17. > :15:21.medical drama. I'm about to get to the guts of the story with thes were
:15:22. > :15:26.though theics's department. Not too much behind the scenes but behind
:15:27. > :15:30.the spleens. Holtby City has been on screens for over 17 years. Most
:15:31. > :15:36.screens contain at least two operations which keeps the
:15:37. > :15:41.prosthetics team very busy Behind this innocuous looking door is where
:15:42. > :15:46.the blood and gore is created. Carry on without me, if I faint. I'll
:15:47. > :15:51.catch up. I'm going N Hi.
:15:52. > :15:54.-- I'm going in. They are not real, are they? No. They are not real.
:15:55. > :16:00.Wow. Ahhhh.
:16:01. > :16:07.My dad was a surgeon. I don't know how he did T this is horrific. It is
:16:08. > :16:11.not real. What is this needle? It is a two part silicon. We have
:16:12. > :16:16.different moulds, a liver mould, a stomach mould. You can't buy them in
:16:17. > :16:21.the supermarket like a jelly mould. This they are sculpted from scratch.
:16:22. > :16:28.That's just like looking inside someone's stomach. Yes, this is a
:16:29. > :16:34.gastric fwhand has slipped into the wrong place and has gone a bit
:16:35. > :16:40.necrotic. And this would be a vein. . Muscle. It is like bacon. You are
:16:41. > :16:47.very smiley, do you enjoy this? I'm at my happiest when I'm in here.
:16:48. > :16:52.Making all the guts and gore. Right. If I'm correct, the yellow layer is
:16:53. > :17:01.fat. Yes. . A bit like cake. Like icing a cake. Just like making a
:17:02. > :17:04.cake. It is like watching the Great British Bake-off.
:17:05. > :17:09.Just a bit more gory. Then the blood, do you have different types?
:17:10. > :17:13.Yes, original. We have dark and congealed and some wound filler. So
:17:14. > :17:17.we have four different types. Of course you do. Could we see it
:17:18. > :17:23.bleed? I never thought I would say that. Is that what you do on set?
:17:24. > :17:28.Yes. So all of the technology, you knew that the BBC had. So just
:17:29. > :17:32.before a dramatic scene... Yes. They are going like that. We are hiding
:17:33. > :17:37.under the bed. # Keep bleeding
:17:38. > :17:43.# Keep, keep bleeding love... ...# Is it working? Yes. Oh, wow. Quite
:17:44. > :17:47.extraordinary. Next time you watch Holly City, understand that one of
:17:48. > :17:51.these lovely people is probably underneath that bed, out of breath
:17:52. > :17:56.after pumping the blood for that, for you. That's what they are doing.
:17:57. > :17:59.Now the great thing about Tupperware is to keeps everything fresh. Just
:18:00. > :18:03.to show you some of the Tupperware we have got here. You have your
:18:04. > :18:09.bones. You have your kidneys and spleens. You need to keep them
:18:10. > :18:12.fresh. Your muscles and burns, your stomach and finally your bits and
:18:13. > :18:16.bobs. What is in there, no-one knows.
:18:17. > :18:23.I could spend all day poking around in various body parts but I have to
:18:24. > :18:33.get to set to seat prosthetics team's work in action. Action.
:18:34. > :18:40.Everything is so detailed. But it is not real. We have a farmcy. None of
:18:41. > :18:44.the pills are real. This is called video village where they watch
:18:45. > :18:49.everything on set happening. The gastric band operation scene won't
:18:50. > :18:53.air for a few weeks but in a Too Much TV exclusive, we can see the
:18:54. > :19:02.prosthetic team's work in action right now. She's bleeding. There is
:19:03. > :19:10.a tear. Press on that swab. Thank you. I've had a wonderful time here
:19:11. > :19:15.at Holtby City. I think I'll leave it to the professionals. I'll just
:19:16. > :19:21.continue scarring people emotionally with my comedy.
:19:22. > :19:33.Is it finished? Can I look. It's finished. Next up a clip from a
:19:34. > :19:43.sitcom you almost definitely would have scene, or have you?
:19:44. > :19:55.Play it nice and cool, son, you know what I mean, we are on to a winner.
:19:56. > :19:57.Now, on BBC Three online there's a very funny thing
:19:58. > :19:59.called Changing Channels, where they take bits of TV
:20:00. > :20:16.that we all know and twist them in funny ways.
:20:17. > :20:25.We're going to be talking to one of it. V's stunt co-ordinator but
:20:26. > :20:50.before that, some of it. V's most memorable stunts.
:20:51. > :20:59.Here to tell us how they make all of that stuff happen, please welcome
:21:00. > :21:02.Stuart St Paul. Thank you for joining us.
:21:03. > :21:04.You've been working in stunts for over 40 years.
:21:05. > :21:06.For those that don't know, what exactly
:21:07. > :21:08.does a stunt co-ordinator do on a TV production?
:21:09. > :21:15.It takes the ambition of the script and has to make it real. If it is a
:21:16. > :21:17.car crash you may have to close roads, book the fire, book
:21:18. > :21:21.ambulance, rescue, have everybody there in case. Have the car prepped,
:21:22. > :21:25.made stronger and design how you are going to do it. If it is explosions
:21:26. > :21:28.you need clearances. All kinds of things. It could be mechanical. It
:21:29. > :21:32.could be building something. You are the abouts of the whole stunt thing?
:21:33. > :21:38.You are taking over a view and try to make it happen for real. You need
:21:39. > :21:43.to plan it. What kind of training do you need, then? Well, the initial
:21:44. > :21:46.training for any stuntman is to be an instructor in six different
:21:47. > :21:50.sports. You become an actor first, because we are all actors. Then you
:21:51. > :21:53.train and do six different sports and then come into the
:21:54. > :21:58.apprenticeship. From that, you then start to learn but you will find
:21:59. > :22:02.most of us have a more mechanical background than arty background.
:22:03. > :22:06.Have you ever hurt yourself? The idea is to try and not get hurt.
:22:07. > :22:11.Try. If he was getting hurt, you don't
:22:12. > :22:16.need a stunt co-ordinator. Then they get an ambulance, not me.
:22:17. > :22:19.The idea to figure out how to do something safely. We are looking for
:22:20. > :22:23.the accidents before they happen. How things are maybe not quite
:22:24. > :22:27.right. Sometimes an actor may have his weight on the wrong foot. You
:22:28. > :22:33.can see he is off balance. You need to quietly correct that. If you are
:22:34. > :22:39.improving the safety why do the soaps call you the Angle of Death? I
:22:40. > :22:42.have killed off an awful lot of soap stars. Have you? Yes. There was a
:22:43. > :22:46.period where I basically knocked them all off, one after the other.
:22:47. > :22:50.The funny thing is, if you are on a train, getting a phone call from a
:22:51. > :22:58.producer saying - how would you murder somebody? And people start
:22:59. > :23:06.listening. I'm going to murder Rita Fairclough's husband! What? !
:23:07. > :23:10.Weren't you responsible for the Emmerdale plane crash? Yes that was
:23:11. > :23:15.movie-esque. It is great to be working on that one day and then
:23:16. > :23:19.work on something smaller. But you take the talents and bring them down
:23:20. > :23:22.to television. It was an iconic, turning point in history for soaps.
:23:23. > :23:27.So many people involved as well in that? It was cranes, planes and
:23:28. > :23:40.automobiles. 18 million people tuned in to watch that. Let's take a look.
:23:41. > :23:43.It's not worth it. There is still some of my stuff in there. Leave it.
:23:44. > :24:00.The gas cylinder. EMMERDALE THEME TUNE
:24:01. > :24:13.That's such an English thing, isn't it? - a big explosion and then da
:24:14. > :24:18.sp, da, da. In America it would be, bash, Bosch, aaaaahhh. It is not
:24:19. > :24:24.killing everyone off, it is a bit of destruction. A little bit. You were
:24:25. > :24:28.called in on Mrs Brown's boys. I have been on all of the series.
:24:29. > :24:32.You wouldn't expect that at all. It is the little things that catch you
:24:33. > :24:36.out. Just the tiny things. Like a dodgy Christmas tree, once, which I
:24:37. > :24:38.had to take special care of. We are going to see that clip. Let's have a
