0:00:19 > 0:00:21Who is vetting the restaurants behind the rise of
0:00:21 > 0:00:22online food ordering?
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Sophie has been unwrapping your takeaways to find that not
0:00:24 > 0:00:26all restaurants are what they seem.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28You don't easily know the hygiene rating of
0:00:28 > 0:00:29the restaurant, and in some cases,
0:00:29 > 0:00:31you don't even know where the food is being prepared.
0:00:31 > 0:00:36A comedian shows us how to stand up to bullies.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39People will jump in front of my scooter, they'll stop me
0:00:39 > 0:00:40and point and start laughing.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43I always get comments like, "Oh, don't go so fast," or, "Woo!
0:00:43 > 0:00:45"I'd like to get one of those!"
0:00:45 > 0:00:46I'm like, "Well, anybody can buy one."
0:00:46 > 0:00:49And a hero of the Great War, but he also played for
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Northampton Town and helped pave the way for equality in the game.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54What he means to me is utmost respect, utmost respect,
0:00:54 > 0:00:59because his core values are what I hold, as well.
0:00:59 > 0:01:00Revealing the stories that matter closer to home,
0:01:00 > 0:01:10that's tonight's Inside Out.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Hello and welcome to Norwich.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Now, if you're hungry but you don't fancy going out,
0:01:25 > 0:01:28you could join the millions who now order their food via an app.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31But with the rise of online food ordering comes the growth
0:01:31 > 0:01:33of online restaurants, making it almost impossible to keep
0:01:33 > 0:01:34up with all the necessary checks.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Well, Sophie has been finding unregulated restaurants
0:01:36 > 0:01:39here in the east, meaning you don't always know where your food
0:01:39 > 0:01:41is really coming from.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Since the rise of the internet, life has become
0:01:44 > 0:01:49easier, more accessible.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52With the click of a button, you can have your food delivered
0:01:52 > 0:01:55directly to your door from a host of local restaurants.
0:01:55 > 0:01:56No hassle.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59No fuss.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Thanks!
0:02:01 > 0:02:04But how much do you really know about the restaurant that
0:02:04 > 0:02:06you're ordering from?
0:02:06 > 0:02:08There are strict standards on how food
0:02:08 > 0:02:11businesses should operate.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13And councils take this very seriously.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16But as I'll find out, some are cutting corners.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19I've come first to Bedfordshire, to find out how it should be done.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21First thing, I need to wash my hands.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Can you show me where your wash hand basin is?
0:02:24 > 0:02:25Oh, fantastic.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27And this is the soap that you use?
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Yes, that's the one.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32As you can see, the inspections are very thorough.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35And are a legal requirement.
0:02:35 > 0:02:41Why is hand important, do you think?
0:02:41 > 0:02:42--hand-washing.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44To prevent cross contamination between
0:02:44 > 0:02:45touching raw meats and cooked meats.
0:02:45 > 0:02:46OK, and when...
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Is there any other time that you would maybe wash your hands?
0:02:49 > 0:02:51After cleaning, after preparing any type of food.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53For me, you can never be...
0:02:53 > 0:02:54Hands can never be too clean.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56And also, the most important, going to the toilet.
0:02:56 > 0:02:57Yes, of course.
0:02:57 > 0:02:58Fantastic.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Once the council's finished their food hygiene inspection,
0:03:00 > 0:03:03they'll rate the premises between a zero and a five.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05They'll then give the restaurant a sticker, which they can
0:03:05 > 0:03:06display on their door.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09But when you take a closer look at the online
0:03:09 > 0:03:10takeaway food business, things become unclear.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14And at the centre of the food delivery industry is Just Eat.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Just Eat is the most-used food delivery site in the UK.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21It has ten million customers and has cornered the cheaper end
0:03:21 > 0:03:25of the takeaway business.
0:03:25 > 0:03:30Its slogan, "Order in a takeaway, it's just a few clicks away."
0:03:30 > 0:03:33But that's all it says.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Aside from the restaurant name and the user ratings,
0:03:35 > 0:03:38there isn't any other information about the place you are
0:03:38 > 0:03:41buying your food from.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44So you don't easily know the hygiene rating of the restaurant,
0:03:44 > 0:03:47and in some cases, you don't even know where the food
0:03:47 > 0:03:49is being prepared.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Inside Out contacted councils throughout the east using
0:03:51 > 0:03:55a freedom of information request.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58One very odd address popped up.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01A restaurant which said it was registered at a particular
0:04:01 > 0:04:05address, but when I take a closer look, all is not what it seems.
0:04:05 > 0:04:10It's here in Basildon, in Essex.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12So, this was an address given to Just Eat by
0:04:12 > 0:04:14a restaurant in the Borough.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Now, as you can see, it's a car wash.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19And after speaking to people in the local area,
0:04:19 > 0:04:22they say it's been a car wash for a couple of years now.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24And before that, it was a locksmith.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Now, there's no suggestion that the businesses have
0:04:27 > 0:04:31anything to do with this, but this was the address given.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34We don't know if food was or wasn't prepared here.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37But it certainly wasn't inspected by the council, and so would not
0:04:37 > 0:04:42have received that crucial hygiene rating.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44And this place in Basildon was not the only one I found.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47I discovered five.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50As well as the one here, I found one in Norwich,
0:04:50 > 0:04:54one in Braintree, one in Welwyn and one in Stevenage.
0:04:54 > 0:04:59All of these were listed for a time on the Just Eat site.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01So far, I've discovered five premises across the east that have,
0:05:01 > 0:05:06with the help of the council, been taken off the Just Eat site.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10What's to stop me opening a restaurant
0:05:10 > 0:05:14here at the side of a road?
0:05:14 > 0:05:17It's hard for a company like Just Eat to keep abreast
0:05:17 > 0:05:20of the thousands of takeaway restaurants it works with.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22But what checks do they do?
0:05:22 > 0:05:26I rang the company on two separate occasions to find out.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29So, if you want to join Just Eat, you'll need
0:05:29 > 0:05:32to send them ID, proof of ownership of
0:05:32 > 0:05:33a restaurant, and a menu.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37And then a Just Eat rep will come and see you after a couple of weeks,
0:05:37 > 0:05:39to answer any questions you have.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41In terms of hygiene standards, they don't actually need to see any
0:05:41 > 0:05:44paperwork from Environmental Health, so there is no minimum standard.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47You can join Just Eat if you're a five, or if you're a zero.
0:05:47 > 0:05:55A zero restaurant needs to make some urgent changes.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59Industry professionals also believe there are many more so-called
0:05:59 > 0:06:02"ghost" or hidden restaurants in operation, other than the ones
0:06:02 > 0:06:05the councils are aware of, and that would mean they would not
0:06:05 > 0:06:09have been inspected.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13If we're dealing with one of these ghost kitchens,
0:06:13 > 0:06:16one of the things I'm hearing from colleagues around the country
0:06:16 > 0:06:18is that these are springing up, sometimes in Portakabins,
0:06:18 > 0:06:22sometimes in converted sea containers, and they are not always
0:06:22 > 0:06:26notified to the council that they're there.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29They may not be connected to mains water.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32They may not be connected to mains drainage.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35And there is not an opportunity for my colleagues, Environmental
0:06:35 > 0:06:39Health officers to go in, and to inspect, and to make
0:06:39 > 0:06:43sure that what is taking place there is safe.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46And what would you like to see done with a company like Just Eat,
0:06:46 > 0:06:47that's growing and expanding?
0:06:47 > 0:06:50What would you like to see them do online?
0:06:50 > 0:06:52They should make sure that the information that's provided
0:06:52 > 0:06:55on that app is almost identical to what a customer would receive,
0:06:55 > 0:07:00walking in the door of an actual restaurant.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02So they should be seeing the food hygiene rating.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04It should be recorded on that app.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06And it should be kept up to date.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08If that does happen, then customers would know
0:07:08 > 0:07:11the restaurant is based at a site that's been
0:07:11 > 0:07:14checked by the council and deemed to be safe.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Jenny has similar ideas.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Just how common is it for people to pop up and sell online,
0:07:20 > 0:07:24without those checks that the council have to do?
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Businesses, they can appear one day and then the next
0:07:26 > 0:07:28day change their name.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31It's very reliant on local intelligence and members
0:07:31 > 0:07:34of the public coming to us if they have concerns.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38A lot of these restaurants, that's how we become aware of them.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39Why?
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Why do people do it?
0:07:41 > 0:07:44A lot of people like to buy online, and some of these facilities'
0:07:44 > 0:07:46kitchens can't cope with the amount of food
0:07:46 > 0:07:48they need to produce, so they need to find alternative venues.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51So it's very easy to, say, prepare away from your main building.
0:07:51 > 0:07:56I've been told by councils that Just Eat are good about removing
0:07:56 > 0:07:59restaurants from their site when necessary - they do
0:07:59 > 0:08:04so quickly and efficiently and often take the lead.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07And it's not the legal responsibility of Just Eat to make
0:08:07 > 0:08:11sure restaurant outlets have their hygiene checked.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14But if a rep visit had been done in time, then perhaps more odd
0:08:14 > 0:08:17premises would be spotted earlier.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Should this multi-billion pound company be taking
0:08:20 > 0:08:22more responsibility?
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Over last couple of months, I've found five restaurants
0:08:25 > 0:08:27on your website that haven't necessarily been operating
0:08:27 > 0:08:31above board.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34One of the addresses that I've found was actually a car wash.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Right, yeah.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38That's strange.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40It may be strange, but actually, what we find
0:08:40 > 0:08:43is that we've got 96% of our restaurants are what you'd call
0:08:43 > 0:08:45the traditional restaurants.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48So they're the ones on your high street that you might visit
0:08:48 > 0:08:50with your family on a Friday night.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52I think those individual cases that you mentioned, actually, a couple
0:08:52 > 0:08:55of those, it was our checks that brought them to the eyes
0:08:55 > 0:08:57of the council and meant the council were able
0:08:57 > 0:08:58to take action.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01So we feel like we're really improving standards in that area.
0:09:01 > 0:09:02Yeah.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05But how were they allowed to be on board, anyway,
0:09:05 > 0:09:07whether you found them or whether the council found them?
0:09:07 > 0:09:10So I'd have to look into the details of the individual
0:09:10 > 0:09:12cases to find out, but there's a number of ways.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15It could be that the council's just misfiled their paperwork.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18As you say, you rely very heavily on the council checks when it comes
0:09:18 > 0:09:20to the restaurants you include on your website.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23We always take our lead from the council, because I've got
0:09:23 > 0:09:25no right to go into a business and inspect it.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28I need to trust that it's done by a public body,
0:09:28 > 0:09:29and we take their lead.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32So why, then, do you not have the food hygiene
0:09:32 > 0:09:35ratings on your website for the customer to see?
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Yeah, so I'm really excited, because it's something
0:09:38 > 0:09:39we're working towards.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Look, Seth, you are a multi-billion pound company now,
0:09:42 > 0:09:44you're growing and growing.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47And I just want to know if there's a moral responsibility
0:09:47 > 0:09:49there with you to do it?
0:09:49 > 0:09:50Definitely.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53I completely agree, and I think there's a moral responsibility
0:09:53 > 0:09:55for anyone in the food industry to take food safety seriously.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57And we know it's what customers want, as well,
0:09:57 > 0:09:59and that's why we're working so hard towards it.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03What we currently do is we have a link on the info section,
0:10:03 > 0:10:05so you can go to any of our restaurants' menu page,
0:10:05 > 0:10:08click on the link and go onto the food hygiene ratings website
0:10:08 > 0:10:10and look up a restaurant yourself.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12What we're aiming to do is to deliver those
0:10:12 > 0:10:14food hygiene ratings onto the search page,
0:10:14 > 0:10:17so if you choose to as a customer, you can actually search by rating.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19So it's just that bit more clear.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Yeah, indeed.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24So there are some improvements on the horizon, and Just Eat
0:10:24 > 0:10:26will make things clearer for its users, butwhether this
0:10:26 > 0:10:29will have a positive impact on limiting hidden premises
0:10:29 > 0:10:35remains to be seen.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38And if there is something you think we should be looking
0:10:38 > 0:10:41into here on the programme, you can always get in touch
0:10:41 > 0:10:44with me on twitter, @david-insideout, or you can send me
0:10:44 > 0:10:47an e-mail, david.whiteley@bbc.co.uk.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50You're watching Inside Out for the east of England here on BBC One.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Later on, the incredible story of Walter Tull,
0:10:52 > 0:10:56a First World War hero who also helped pave the way
0:10:56 > 0:10:59for equality in football.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03It's not so much about the colour of his skin that makes
0:11:03 > 0:11:06him extraordinary, it's the fact that he was a working-class lad
0:11:06 > 0:11:08who had been brought up in an orphanage and he finds
0:11:09 > 0:11:16himself, you know, an officer.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Next on the programme, we go on the road with one of the
0:11:19 > 0:11:22country's leading stand-up comedians, Tanyalee Davis.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Now, Tanyalee is three foot six and has a rare
0:11:24 > 0:11:27genetic condition which causes dwarfism and she is using her
0:11:27 > 0:11:32stand-up talents to help schools here in Norfolk tackle bullying.
0:11:32 > 0:11:37In fact, she wants the word bullying replaced with "not being kind".
0:11:37 > 0:11:42CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50That's right, some people carry a briefcase to work.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52I carry a step stool!
0:11:52 > 0:11:54LAUGHTER.
0:11:54 > 0:11:55Hello!
0:11:55 > 0:11:59CHEERING.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02All right, I can still the tension in the room, some of you a
0:12:02 > 0:12:03little shocked.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06Don't feel sorry for me, I get it all the time.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08"Oh, look.
0:12:08 > 0:12:09"She's ginger."
0:12:09 > 0:12:12LAUGHTER.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Tanyalee Davis has been touring the world doing stand-up comedy
0:12:15 > 0:12:16for more than 25 years.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20She's appeared on some of the biggest shows on TV.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24At three feet six inches tall, Tanyalee has diastrophic dysplasia,
0:12:24 > 0:12:27a disorder that affects cartilage and bone development.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31I don't even focus on everyday challenges,
0:12:31 > 0:12:34because I just get on with stuff.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37I mean, people see me and go, "Oh, look, she's struggling,"
0:12:37 > 0:12:38but for me, it's just...
0:12:38 > 0:12:40It is what it is.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Originally from Canada, Tanyalee now lives in Norfolk.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46When she moved to the UK, she was shocked by people's
0:12:46 > 0:12:49attitudes to disability.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51I feel like I need to educate people in how
0:12:51 > 0:12:53to interact with little people.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56You know, there is a code of conduct.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Rule number one, don't pat us on the head!
0:12:58 > 0:13:00LAUGHTER.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02That's right, it's beneath you people.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Rule number two, don't pick us up!
0:13:05 > 0:13:07LAUGHTER.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09You know you want to, don't you, sir?
0:13:09 > 0:13:12LAUGHTER.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14British people are just so...reserved and so worried
0:13:14 > 0:13:22about offending that they forget basic humanity of just
0:13:22 > 0:13:25being friendly when it comes to just treating somebody...
0:13:25 > 0:13:27You know, just normal, basically.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29You know, being social skills, they're like...
0:13:29 > 0:13:32"Well, if I don't talk to you I might offend you, if I
0:13:32 > 0:13:35do talk to you might offend you," and it's just like...
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Just do what you do.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Just act normal.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42So right now I'm in a relationship.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Been in a relationship for quite a few years.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Of course, people's first question is,
0:13:46 > 0:13:47"Oh, is he a little person?"
0:13:47 > 0:13:49I'm like, "Hell no!"
0:13:49 > 0:13:56He's actually the shortest guy I've ever dated.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59He's five foot seven.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Yeah, I downsized!
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Tanyalee shares her home in Norwich with her partner Kevin.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Most amazing woman I ever met.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08That's why I'm here.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11I moved across the country and across the world
0:14:11 > 0:14:13and left my family to come over here with her.
0:14:13 > 0:14:14So, yeah.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16It's a big move.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Tanyalee's job means she's constantly travelling
0:14:18 > 0:14:20the country to perform.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22It's a hectic and tiring lifestyle.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Her medical condition means it's important she stays as fit
0:14:24 > 0:14:26as possible.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28She works out at least three times a week
0:14:28 > 0:14:31at a friend's house.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Most little people have various forms of arthritis,
0:14:34 > 0:14:42osteoarthritis, we don't have cartilage and our joints.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44--in our joints.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46I've had arthritis since I was eight years old.
0:14:46 > 0:14:51I saw an orthopaedic surgeon recently,
0:14:51 > 0:14:54and he said that my right hip was like a 90-year-old and
0:14:54 > 0:14:57my left hip was like an 80-year-old, so I'm in the process of
0:14:57 > 0:14:58getting customised hip replacements.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02I'll do, like, an hour of cardio, which hopefully helps.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04It makes me feel better, I sleep better, you know, and...
0:15:04 > 0:15:07I feel like I do notice a huge difference after I've been
0:15:07 > 0:15:15working out for a couple of weeks.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Being different and standing out from the crowd has presented
0:15:18 > 0:15:19other challenges.
0:15:19 > 0:15:24One of the most unpleasant is being picked on and teased.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27During the day's not so bad, but I do work nights
0:15:27 > 0:15:30and I find that, you know, in this country, especially
0:15:30 > 0:15:34with the drinking...situation, you know,
0:15:34 > 0:15:37at night time, people can be very aggressive.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39People will jump in front of my scooter, they'll
0:15:39 > 0:15:41stop me and point and start laughing.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44I've had people run behind my scooter and try
0:15:44 > 0:15:50to grab it, or just jog along.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Always, like, comments like, "Oh, don't go so fast," or,
0:15:52 > 0:15:54"Woo! I'd like to get one of those!"
0:15:54 > 0:15:55I'm like, "Well, anybody can buy one."
0:15:55 > 0:15:57You know, people just think they're being funny.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59But I mean, in reality,
0:15:59 > 0:16:02do you think if I had a choice, that I would use a scooter?
0:16:02 > 0:16:10I mean, it's awesome, don't get me wrong!
0:16:10 > 0:16:13But, I mean, you know, I would choose to be a little bit...
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Have a little bit more anonymity if I could walk everywhere.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18If I got angry every time somebody was rude to me,
0:16:18 > 0:16:20I would lose my flipping mind.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24But, you know, sometimes it just depends on the mood I'm in.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27If I'm in a crabby mood, sometimes people will get it.
0:16:27 > 0:16:33You know, I'll just yell at them or get their face
0:16:33 > 0:16:35and go, "Really?"
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Like, people take pictures of me all the time, or
0:16:37 > 0:16:39video tape me, so I'll whip out my camera and go, really?
0:16:40 > 0:16:40How does that feel?
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Huh?
0:16:42 > 0:16:43Yeah.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45And then they'll go, "Oh, oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
0:16:45 > 0:16:46Like, yeah, really?
0:16:46 > 0:16:47I don't think so.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50You know, I had this kid come up to me this one time
0:16:50 > 0:16:52and he goes, "Oh, what happened to you?
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Did you get into an accident?"
0:16:54 > 0:16:56I'm like, "Hell no, I didn't eat my vegetables
0:16:56 > 0:16:57when I was your age, you little..."
0:16:57 > 0:16:58LAUGHTER.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00This is Catton Grove school in Norwich.
0:17:00 > 0:17:01When not doing stand-up,
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Tanyalee is involved in a Norfolk based anti-bullying project
0:17:03 > 0:17:06called Great As You Are.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08This is me walking.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11I walk on my tippy-toes, a little bit, because I've got...
0:17:11 > 0:17:15You know, the way that my body's shaped,
0:17:15 > 0:17:16it's a bit different.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20But I find my own way of doing things.
0:17:20 > 0:17:21Children are taught how to be good citizens
0:17:21 > 0:17:25and to respect each other and that it's OK to be different.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27What do you do to sort out problems?
0:17:27 > 0:17:29ALL:Talk to someone!
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Talk to someone.
0:17:31 > 0:17:32Everyone got the action?
0:17:32 > 0:17:34What's the action?
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Talk!
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Right, what do you do to be kind?
0:17:39 > 0:17:41ALL:Always help!
0:17:41 > 0:17:42Always help.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44And what's the action?
0:17:44 > 0:17:46There you go.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48What do you do to be kind?
0:17:48 > 0:17:49You always help.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Right, it's important to help other people.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55It makes you a great friend and a great mate.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59I like about Tanyalee, she never gives up.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02She always tries her hardest.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04She never gets upset.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06She...
0:18:06 > 0:18:10She just calms herself down and does stand up.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13As great as she is.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16We are focusing on kindness
0:18:16 > 0:18:18and loving yourself first, and that in
0:18:18 > 0:18:22turn then helps the kids, they love themselves,
0:18:22 > 0:18:24they're less likely to be unkind or bullying.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26We are trying to get rid of the word
0:18:26 > 0:18:34bullying, so it's unkind behaviour and kind behaviour.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36We've noticed a great different in the
0:18:36 > 0:18:41behaviour of our children.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43They've been far more positive, and if they have
0:18:43 > 0:18:45got problems, they haven't felt...
0:18:45 > 0:18:50They felt at as if they can share a lot more with us, which I think it
0:18:50 > 0:18:51really, really important.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54But also, they are been able to deal with
0:18:54 > 0:18:57problems themselves, asking advice from their peers and their friends
0:18:57 > 0:18:58and family, which I think has been one of
0:18:58 > 0:19:00the biggest impacts we've seen at Catton Grove.
0:19:00 > 0:19:01Hello!
0:19:01 > 0:19:05Put your phones away, I'm not a Pokemon.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Tanyalee's day to day life is of course a world away
0:19:07 > 0:19:10from performing on stage, but a lot of her humour comes from her
0:19:10 > 0:19:11real life experiences.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14It's a male dominated business, the old stand-up comedy,
0:19:14 > 0:19:16so being a chick is quite rare, and obviously,
0:19:16 > 0:19:17with my height, you know,
0:19:17 > 0:19:22I bring something new to the table.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Stand-up is this thing where it's such an emotional release for me,
0:19:25 > 0:19:28and I think because of my situation, my life experience and my honesty,
0:19:28 > 0:19:34I think I'm almost treating the audience to a little insight
0:19:34 > 0:19:37into my life, and the reward that I get back, the response I get,
0:19:37 > 0:19:40is just fantastic.
0:19:40 > 0:19:41I mean, you know.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44There's just nothing like it.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47The other night I'm in bed, I'm reading my book, and it dawned
0:19:47 > 0:19:50on me, I'm at that age where I have to hold
0:19:50 > 0:19:52my book further and further away from my face.
0:19:52 > 0:19:53I'm like, "Oh, my gosh,
0:19:53 > 0:19:55"I'm far sighted and I've got midget arms,
0:19:55 > 0:19:57"are you kidding me?!"
0:19:57 > 0:19:58LAUGHTER.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Well, that's it from me, you guys.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Thanks a lot for coming out tonight, everybody.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03Thanks a lot.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04I'm Tanyalee Davis.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07APPLAUSE.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09A few months ago, while filming in Northampton,
0:20:09 > 0:20:11I spotted a statue of a local hero.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14He had his foot on a ball because he had played for
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Northampton Town.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19He also fought in the First World War, and his story
0:20:19 > 0:20:29is an incredible one.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32The Western Front.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Northern France.
0:20:34 > 0:20:381918.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40It's the Spring Offensive.
0:20:40 > 0:20:45Thousands of British troops are dug in, waiting for orders to advance.
0:20:45 > 0:20:54They wait, scanning no-man's land.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Among them, a professional footballer who played
0:20:56 > 0:20:58for Northampton Town.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00His name was Walter Tull.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04And it's widely believed that Walter was one of the very first black
0:21:04 > 0:21:11officers in the British Army.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Walter Tull was well-respected in the army.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17He had joined and fought in the battle of the Somme in 1916,
0:21:17 > 0:21:21and in 1917, was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant
0:21:21 > 0:21:24and was mentioned in dispatches for gallantry and coolness
0:21:24 > 0:21:27while leading his company of 26 men on a raiding party into enemy
0:21:27 > 0:21:33territory in Italy.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Taff Gillingham is a military historian and specializes
0:21:35 > 0:21:37in the First World War.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41He's a consultant on war films, and knows a thing
0:21:42 > 0:21:43or two about Walter.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45With the need for recruits in 1914, there were all
0:21:45 > 0:21:48sorts of what we call new army battalions raised.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52And amongst those were a couple of footballers'
0:21:52 > 0:21:57battalions, which were based on sort of not just the players, but fans.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01And it was part of the whole idea of pals' battalions, where you'd serve
0:22:01 > 0:22:03with sort of like minded people who shared the same interest.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06And Walter signed up and served with the Middlesex Regiment.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10How did he become an officer?
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Well, right from the start, it was very clear to
0:22:13 > 0:22:15the officers of the Middlesex Regiment that he's
0:22:15 > 0:22:20serving in that he's got leadership abilities.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23You know, he's not just an ordinary private, he's capable of
0:22:23 > 0:22:24leading men.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26The crucial thing, really, is that he is recognised for
0:22:27 > 0:22:28that ability.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31That would have had nothing to do with the colour of his skin
0:22:31 > 0:22:33or anything like that, he was purely and simply
0:22:33 > 0:22:34good officer material.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36So was he treated equally in the British Army?
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Yes, yes, I think he was treated very equally.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40He would certainly have had the respect
0:22:40 > 0:22:41of the fellows around him.
0:22:41 > 0:22:42And he was popular.
0:22:42 > 0:22:43I mean, there was...
0:22:43 > 0:22:44You know, that's very clear.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47And, again, when he goes off to officer training,
0:22:47 > 0:22:50the pictures of him as an officer cadet, relaxing with
0:22:50 > 0:22:51other officers.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53It's very clear that he's comfortable in that role and
0:22:53 > 0:22:56the others are comfortable with him being there, you know, there are
0:22:56 > 0:22:59pictures of them all smiling and very relaxed and smoking pipes.
0:22:59 > 0:23:00He is obviously, you know,
0:23:00 > 0:23:02just one of the chaps.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05And I think it's not so much about the
0:23:05 > 0:23:07colour of his skin that makes him extraordinary.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10It's the fact that he was a working-class lad who had been
0:23:10 > 0:23:12brought up in an orphanage and he finds himself,
0:23:12 > 0:23:22you know, an officer.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25This statue of Walter Tull here in Northampton
0:23:25 > 0:23:28shows just how much he's thought of.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31A man who first played for Spurs, then for the Cobblers before
0:23:31 > 0:23:35fighting in the First World War.
0:23:35 > 0:23:45But it was his time on the pitch and not in the trenches
0:23:45 > 0:23:47where he suffered racist abuse.
0:23:47 > 0:23:48Graham McKechnie is the sports editor at BBC radio Northampton.
0:23:48 > 0:23:54But he's also a war historian.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58It's an impressive memorial, when you see it for the first time.It is
0:23:58 > 0:24:01very striking. Hopefully people will see it on the way to the ground to
0:24:01 > 0:24:05watch the covers and have a look and learn a little about the man behind
0:24:05 > 0:24:12it and learn about Walter Tull. There is evidence of water and the
0:24:12 > 0:24:16respect Northampton has framed pretty much everywhere.There is,
0:24:16 > 0:24:24all over the town. There is Walter tollway behind me, in time there is
0:24:24 > 0:24:29a building, so you convert the B in Northampton and not be aware of
0:24:29 > 0:24:33Walter Tull. There were very few black footballers, he was in the
0:24:33 > 0:24:37first but there are very, very few. When he was a footballer, did he
0:24:37 > 0:24:43suffer racism?We know for scars right from his time at Spurs that he
0:24:43 > 0:24:48did suffer some appalling racist abuse from the crowd to the extent
0:24:48 > 0:24:51that it was commented on in the papers. We know in the 21st century
0:24:51 > 0:24:54any sample of racism would rightly be highlighted, but in that world,
0:24:54 > 0:24:58people were used to it and at the time people commented on how pulling
0:24:58 > 0:25:05the behaviour of the Bristol crowd was that day.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Not put off by his previous experiences, Walter went
0:25:07 > 0:25:10to the Cobblers, where his skills on the pitch were very much
0:25:10 > 0:25:14appreciated by the fans.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17He was clearly accepted he was referred to the papers sometimes in
0:25:17 > 0:25:22terms of a raise an eyebrow at, the dark Walter Tull, the dusky Walter
0:25:22 > 0:25:27Tull, but beyond that, he was just accepted from a footballer that he
0:25:27 > 0:25:31was. -- as the footballer he was. He must have felt at home here, given
0:25:31 > 0:25:34how many times you play for the club.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38He was respected by the fans then, and nearly 100 years on, his legacy
0:25:38 > 0:25:40still inspires.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Terry Angus used to play for Northampton and is
0:25:42 > 0:25:44the equalities manager for the Professional
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Footballer's Association.
0:25:46 > 0:25:53What is Walter Tull mean to you? Total respect. Total respect, his
0:25:53 > 0:25:57core values are what I held as well. I build my wife on my inner
0:25:57 > 0:26:02strength, my mental strength, and my motivation to be better each day. I
0:26:02 > 0:26:09think those three things is him in a nutshell.Do you think you pave the
0:26:09 > 0:26:14way in a very embryonic stage for the beginning of a quality in
0:26:14 > 0:26:21football? That bag easy to see paved the way?, definitely. -- do you
0:26:21 > 0:26:26think he paved the way?Definitely. I cannot put myself in a tradition,
0:26:26 > 0:26:30I can't, because I live in a modern-day position. -- put myself
0:26:30 > 0:26:34in his position. For him, the mental strength day by day, to do what he'd
0:26:34 > 0:26:39done, get through what he got through and be subjected to what he
0:26:39 > 0:26:43got subjected to and then get up each day and try to be better than
0:26:43 > 0:26:48he was yesterday, I don't think we can contend that. So without doubt,
0:26:48 > 0:26:52even from an embryonic stage, he did paved the way for the people playing
0:26:52 > 0:26:59football today.Bodies of him as a person?As a person, witnesses.--
0:26:59 > 0:27:04what do you think of him as a person?As a person, magnificent.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Walter's strength of character didn't just help him on the pitch,
0:27:07 > 0:27:09it also gained him the respect of the British Army.
0:27:09 > 0:27:14How do you think you should be remembered?He would want to be
0:27:14 > 0:27:18remembered as one of the fellows, just an ordinary fellow who found
