Hello, this is Breakfast,
with Steph McGovern. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:08 | |
The Queen pays tribute to the people
of London and Manchester, | 0:00:08 | 0:00:11 | |
after this year's terror attacks. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:15 | |
In her Christmas Day message,
she will say the cities' powerful | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
identities had shone
through in the face | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
of appalling attacks. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:28 | |
I'm at her Sandringham
estate, in Norfolk, | 0:00:28 | 0:00:29 | |
where she will attend church this
morning with the rest of the royal | 0:00:29 | 0:00:33 | |
family, including Prince Harry
and his new fiancee, | 0:00:33 | 0:00:35 | |
Meghan Markle. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:39 | |
Good morning, it is
Monday 25 December. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:51 | |
Merry Christmas. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
Also ahead: The Pope urges the world
not to ignore the plight of migrants | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
forced to leave their countries
because of violence. | 0:00:56 | 0:01:00 | |
Christmas isn't all about presents
and turkey dinners. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:02 | |
Over a million people
will be working today. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
We will catch up with some of them. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:14 | |
I have no idea what I am singing.
Louise is worried. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:23 | |
Six Breakfast presenters
and a 1,000-strong audience - | 0:01:23 | 0:01:25 | |

Find out how we got on in our
big singing challenge. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
And Phil Avery has the weather. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
Steph, very good morning to you.
Merry Christmas. I feel as though I | 0:01:33 | 0:01:38 | |
am in the way here. Here is your
headline, if you haven't got any | 0:01:38 | 0:01:42 | |
power here in Stevenage this
morning, I think I have found a | 0:01:42 | 0:01:45 | |
reason. I will have all the detail
on the Christmas whether in 15 | 0:01:45 | 0:01:49 | |
minutes. -- weather. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:57 | |
Good morning. | 0:01:57 | 0:01:57 | |
First, our main story: The Queen
will pay tribute to the cities | 0:01:57 | 0:02:01 | |
of Manchester and London
in her Christmas Day broadcast, | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
for the way in which they dealt
with this year's terrorist attacks. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
She is at her estate at Sandringham
with other members of the royal | 0:02:06 | 0:02:10 | |
family, including Prince Harry
and his fiancee, Meghan Markle. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
Our royal correspondent
Nicholas Witchell reports. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
The Queen recorded this year's
broadcast a few days ago | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
at Buckingham Palace. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:17 | |
Its main theme is the importance
of home, a place she describes | 0:02:17 | 0:02:21 | |
as a source of warmth and love. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
Looking back over the events
of 2017, she praises the cities | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
of London and Manchester. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:27 | |
The Queen visited victims
of the bombing at Manchester Arena, | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
in which 22 people died
as they left a concert. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
In her broadcast, she will talk
about the powerful identities | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
of Manchester and London,
which she says had shone | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
through in the face
of appalling attacks. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
On the table beside her
in the broadcast, alongside pictures | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
of Prince George and Princess
Charlotte, are two photographs | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
of her and her husband,
one of which was taken | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
on their wedding day in 1947. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:51 | |
This year, they have
celebrated their 70th wedding | 0:02:51 | 0:02:55 | |
anniversary,
and the Duke of Edinburgh retired | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
from his separate programme
of public engagements. | 0:02:57 | 0:02:58 | |
In the broadcast, the Queen
will praise her husband | 0:02:58 | 0:03:04 | |
for his support and, as she puts it,
for his unique sense of humour. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:09 | |
The world's most experienced... | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
LAUGHTER. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:13 | |
The Queen was absent from last
year's Christmas Day church service | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
at Sandringham, due to a heavy cold. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
But there is expected to be a full
turnout of the family | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
at church this morning, | 0:03:22 | 0:03:23 | |
and among the group attending church
will be Prince Harry | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
and his fiancee, Meghan Markle,
who are both spending Christmas | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
on the Sandringham estate. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:30 | |
It will be the first time
someone who is yet to marry | 0:03:30 | 0:03:35 | |
into the royal family will have
joined their Christmas celebrations, | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
her presence a reminder of one
of the events to which the family | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
can look forward in 2018. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
Our reporter Daniela Relph
is outside St Mary Magdalene's | 0:03:43 | 0:03:45 | |
church, on the Sandringham estate,
where the royal family | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
will make their traditional trip
for the Christmas Day service. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
Good morning to you. Merry
Christmas. It is going to be a busy | 0:03:50 | 0:03:55 | |
one for the Royal Family. A lot of
eyes on Prince Harry and Meghan | 0:03:55 | 0:04:03 | |
Markle. That is the difference, that
we are going to see Meghan Markle | 0:04:03 | 0:04:07 | |
here. The traditional Christmas Day
service at St Mary Magdalene's | 0:04:07 | 0:04:11 | |
church on the Sandringham estate is
at 11 a.m.. I think all eyes will be | 0:04:11 | 0:04:19 | |
on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
We are expecting them to walk with | 0:04:19 | 0:04:23 | |
the other members of the Royal
Family just before 11am from the | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
main house at Sandringham up to the
church. It is unusual that Meghan | 0:04:26 | 0:04:30 | |
Markle has been invited to spend
Christmas with the Royal Family, | 0:04:30 | 0:04:33 | |
because traditionally, if you go
back, if you were a royal girlfriend | 0:04:33 | 0:04:37 | |
or boyfriend you didn't tend to get
invited. It was only once you were | 0:04:37 | 0:04:41 | |
married that you are invited to
spend Christmas here at Sandringham. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:52 | |
If you look back at the Duchess of
Cambridge when she was just Kate | 0:04:52 | 0:04:56 | |
Middleton, she didn't get invited to
Sandringham. She spent Christmas | 0:04:56 | 0:04:58 | |
with the Middleton family. I think
the issue with Meghan Markle is that | 0:04:58 | 0:05:02 | |
she is American. She has moved to
the UK to be with her fiance Ahab of | 0:05:02 | 0:05:06 | |
her wedding next year, she doesn't
have any family here, and clearly | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
Prince Harry has asked the Queen for
an exception this year and to get | 0:05:09 | 0:05:13 | |
her invited. For the first time we
will see her in the presence of the | 0:05:13 | 0:05:17 | |
wider royal family. All eyes will be
on her and there are already people | 0:05:17 | 0:05:21 | |
queueing at the gate to make sure
that they get a prime position. And | 0:05:21 | 0:05:25 | |
you will be talking to them a bit
later on for us. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:28 | |
And the Queen's Christmas Day
broadcast will be on BBC One | 0:05:28 | 0:05:31 | |
at 3:00pm this afternoon. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:32 | |
Pope Francis has urged the world not
to ignore the plight of millions | 0:05:32 | 0:05:36 | |
of migrants driven from their land,
during Christmas Eve Mass. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:39 | |
The Pontiff compared
them to Mary and Joseph, | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |
recounting how they had to travel
from Nazareth to Bethlehem, | 0:05:41 | 0:05:44 | |
but found no place to stay. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:45 | |
He said many migrants
were being forced to flee | 0:05:45 | 0:05:48 | |
from leaders who see no problem
in shedding innocent blood. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:50 | |
Meanwhile, services have taken place
across the UK and further afield. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:53 | |
Our religious editor
Martin Bashir reports. | 0:05:53 | 0:06:07 | |
At Westminster Cathedral, Cardinal
Vincent Nichols, leader of the Roman | 0:06:07 | 0:06:14 | |
Catholic Church in England and
Wales, framed his Christmas message | 0:06:14 | 0:06:17 | |
as a statement of concern for the
way we tend to communicate with each | 0:06:17 | 0:06:21 | |
other. He said we often prefer
conflict to dialogue, hostility | 0:06:21 | 0:06:26 | |
instead of a willingness to listen.
It is a manifestation of a radical | 0:06:26 | 0:06:31 | |
individualism. And, while the
individual is hugely important, we | 0:06:31 | 0:06:38 | |
have to know that we are also built
to belong to each other. We are | 0:06:38 | 0:06:42 | |
built to have a relationships, and
to work and find our best through | 0:06:42 | 0:06:48 | |
relationships. He went on to say
that, as we gaze into a nativity | 0:06:48 | 0:06:53 | |
scene at Christmas, we find one who
can free us from the choking effects | 0:06:53 | 0:06:58 | |
of disagreement and strife. Christ
himself. And, at the very beginning | 0:06:58 | 0:07:04 | |
of the Christmas narrative, here in
Bethlehem, in a land defined by | 0:07:04 | 0:07:10 | |
walls of separation, a renewed call
for reconciliation. Here in Manger | 0:07:10 | 0:07:16 | |
Square, a midnight service has been
held that the Church of them as | 0:07:16 | 0:07:21 | |
nativity, where the Archbishop of
Jerusalem said that, while Jesus was | 0:07:21 | 0:07:25 | |
born in a town under Roman
occupation, he was identified as the | 0:07:25 | 0:07:29 | |
Prince of peace. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:33 | |
Guatemalan President Jimmy Morales
has ordered to move the country's | 0:07:33 | 0:07:36 | |
embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:37 | |
In a Facebook post, Mr Morales said
the decision was taken after he had | 0:07:37 | 0:07:41 | |
spoken with Israel's PM,
Benjamin Netanyahu. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:43 | |
Last week, Guatemala was one of only
nine nations to vote against a UN | 0:07:43 | 0:07:47 | |
resolution urging America
to reverse its recognition | 0:07:47 | 0:07:49 | |
of Jerusalem as the
capital of Israel. | 0:07:49 | 0:07:51 | |
Donald Trump threatened to cut aid
to nations that voted | 0:07:51 | 0:07:53 | |
against the US. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:54 | |
The US is an important
aid donor to Guatemala, | 0:07:54 | 0:07:57 | |
an impoverished Central
American country. | 0:07:57 | 0:07:58 | |
On Sunday, Mr Morales said he had
instructed the Guatemalan | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
authorities to start the necessary
respective co-ordination before | 0:08:01 | 0:08:03 | |
moving the country's embassy
from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:05 | |
Surrey Police are trying to identify
a man who was found unconscious | 0:08:05 | 0:08:09 | |
in a ditch yesterday afternoon. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:10 | |
They have released pictures
of the man's clothing in an attempt | 0:08:10 | 0:08:13 | |
to track down his family. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:14 | |
The man, who is thought to be
in his 20s, is in a serious | 0:08:14 | 0:08:18 | |
condition in hospital. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:19 | |
Around 150 skiers have been rescued
from a broken-down ski lift | 0:08:19 | 0:08:22 | |
in the French Alps,
after being trapped on it | 0:08:22 | 0:08:24 | |
for several hours on Christmas Eve. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:26 | |
Helicopters were used to rescue
the people from their individual | 0:08:26 | 0:08:29 | |
gondolas, which were around 82
feet above the snow, | 0:08:29 | 0:08:31 | |
and rope was used to help the skiers
get back down the slopes. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:35 | |
The cause of the fault isn't known. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:41 | |
You wouldn't want to be trapped up
there, would you? | 0:08:41 | 0:08:45 | |
If you are relaxing at home,
perhaps opening presents this | 0:08:45 | 0:08:48 | |
morning, spare a thought for this
team who are still hard at work. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
Santa and his reindeer spent
the night travelling the globe | 0:08:51 | 0:08:54 | |
to deliver presents
to children across the world. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:56 | |
To make sure their journey
went without a hitch, | 0:08:56 | 0:08:58 | |
air traffic controllers
from the North American Aerospace | 0:08:58 | 0:09:01 | |
defence Command, or Norad for short,
have been tracking the flight path | 0:09:01 | 0:09:04 | |
of his sleigh. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:12 | |
As you can see, he has already
delivered billions of presents. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:20 | |
He is currently flying over Canada.
Of course, we wish him well. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:24 | |
Fantastic to see where Santa is
exactly, isn't it? For a lot of us, | 0:09:24 | 0:09:35 | |
Christmas Day is one of the best of
the year, the excitement, the food, | 0:09:35 | 0:09:39 | |
the presence, the food and the
memories. We have been asking people | 0:09:39 | 0:09:42 | |
about the times they remember best. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:50 | |
My favourite childhood memory of
Christmas was I got a snooker table | 0:09:50 | 0:09:55 | |
went I was eight or nine, we bought
my Grandad a waistcoat, so everybody | 0:09:55 | 0:09:59 | |
that played snooker that they had to
have a waistcoat on to be like a | 0:09:59 | 0:10:03 | |
proper snooker player. My childhood
memories of Christmas has got to be | 0:10:03 | 0:10:08 | |
how much snow we used to have. We
don't have as much snowfall any | 0:10:08 | 0:10:12 | |
more, but I remember it being knee
deep, being assessed with pulling | 0:10:12 | 0:10:15 | |
icicles off and things. But also
being out for about five hours at a | 0:10:15 | 0:10:21 | |
time in it and not bothering. So I
think I would say snow, heavy | 0:10:21 | 0:10:25 | |
snowfall. When I was a child, and we
are going back many years to the | 0:10:25 | 0:10:33 | |
1970s, I remember the fake Christmas
trees. We have one that we could | 0:10:33 | 0:10:37 | |
look at the ceiling and see all the
reflections of the tree on the | 0:10:37 | 0:10:40 | |
ceiling. I still have baubles today
from then, I have baubles from | 0:10:40 | 0:10:44 | |
nearly 100 years ago now. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:45 | |
I don't really remember. | 0:10:56 | 0:10:57 | |
She has a very bad
memory, like a goldfish. | 0:10:57 | 0:11:01 | |
We would stand by the window and had
some pink pigs on a Christmas tree, | 0:11:01 | 0:11:06 | |
and these used to fascinate me, and
that is a memory I always have. With | 0:11:06 | 0:11:10 | |
the fire blazing and steamy windows,
and these little pink pigs on a | 0:11:10 | 0:11:13 | |
Christmas tree. I know it sounds
silly, but they are memories I have | 0:11:13 | 0:11:19 | |
got from being little. I had a big
doll with an orange dress, and she | 0:11:19 | 0:11:25 | |
was nearly as big as me. I was born
on Christmas Day, and one of my | 0:11:25 | 0:11:31 | |
memories was blowing out candles on
the Christmas tree, but they were | 0:11:31 | 0:11:36 | |
proper candles, and they were only
put up just for that, and then they | 0:11:36 | 0:11:40 | |
were taken away. Were used to have
to go to bed at a certain time, and | 0:11:40 | 0:11:44 | |
we would hear this little bell and
we would get told it was Tinkerbell. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:48 | |
If you didn't go to sleep within
half an hour, Tinkerbell with this | 0:11:48 | 0:11:52 | |
little bell, you would never get
your presence. I can remember as a | 0:11:52 | 0:11:56 | |
child being so excited because Santa
was coming. | 0:11:56 | 0:12:04 | |
Some brilliant memories there. If
you have any you want to share with | 0:12:04 | 0:12:07 | |
get in touch. I am sure Phil has a
few. You outside your house this | 0:12:07 | 0:12:13 | |
get in touch. I am sure Phil has a
few. You outside your house this | 0:12:13 | 0:12:13 | |
morning? Merry Christmas. Merry
Christmas. In fact, I will give | 0:12:13 | 0:12:18 | |
credit where it is due. This is the
garden from Stevenage, and it is a | 0:12:18 | 0:12:27 | |
long way from this weather front
which will short-circuit anybody's | 0:12:27 | 0:12:34 | |
electrics, I am afraid. We have
already had about 100 millimetres of | 0:12:34 | 0:12:38 | |
rain. In one particular prime spot
in Cumbria, and we are not quite | 0:12:38 | 0:12:42 | |
done yet. It is a fairly slow-moving
affair. What an awful -- what it | 0:12:42 | 0:12:51 | |
also is is a heavy affair. Ahead of
it is another mild, grey sort of | 0:12:51 | 0:12:58 | |
day. The sun still does exist, and
we will get to that shortly. But | 0:12:58 | 0:13:01 | |
there is in an awful lot of wintry
weather to be had here. This which | 0:13:01 | 0:13:05 | |
I'm showing you hear is snow on the
high ground, in the southern up | 0:13:05 | 0:13:09 | |
lines of Scotland, eventually the
Cumbrians cells. -- up lines. It | 0:13:09 | 0:13:16 | |
will be well and through Christmas
Day before we push that through the | 0:13:16 | 0:13:20 | |
British Isles. Some of the gusts
along the Channel coast, 60, | 0:13:20 | 0:13:23 | |
possibly a bit more than that. Once
that is a way it begins to open the | 0:13:23 | 0:13:27 | |
door too much colder weather for
Boxing Day. A big sporting day, and | 0:13:27 | 0:13:31 | |
I am showing ice here but groundsmen
and spectators, and all the rest of | 0:13:31 | 0:13:36 | |
it, don't worry about it too much
because I think what ice falls will | 0:13:36 | 0:13:40 | |
be away pretty quickly and the sun
comes out. We can talk about the | 0:13:40 | 0:13:44 | |
sunshine for a while. There will be
wintry showers getting into the | 0:13:44 | 0:13:48 | |
northern half of Scotland and
eventually some cloud, wind and rain | 0:13:48 | 0:13:53 | |
back into the south-western quarter.
Some of that rank in its own right | 0:13:53 | 0:13:56 | |
really very heavy. For the sporting
fixtures late in the day, you will | 0:13:56 | 0:14:01 | |
need an awful lot of layers because
it will be pretty tricky weather. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:04 | |
They gradually works its way across
the southern half of the British | 0:14:04 | 0:14:08 | |
Isles. All the cold air which is
slowing down these isobars from the | 0:14:08 | 0:14:12 | |
North Down across all parts as we
get on in the Wednesday, we have the | 0:14:12 | 0:14:16 | |
classic mix. A lot of moisture,
colder, and this is the point at | 0:14:16 | 0:14:21 | |
which we may find a little bit of
snowfall beginning to get into the | 0:14:21 | 0:14:25 | |
Midlands, and on through the day
that might creep into central, | 0:14:25 | 0:14:29 | |
southern England. This could be down
over the Chilterns, that sort of | 0:14:29 | 0:14:32 | |
neck of the woods. Any of the high
ground in the south could be seeing | 0:14:32 | 0:14:36 | |
a little bit more in the way of
wintry weather. But in the short | 0:14:36 | 0:14:40 | |
term it is more of the same. It is
the dull, cloudy sort of stuff. It | 0:14:40 | 0:14:44 | |
has been dry for a number of days.
As I say, as that weather front | 0:14:44 | 0:14:48 | |
comes by tonight, you will hear it
rattling on the windows, and the | 0:14:48 | 0:14:52 | |
wind is really quite gusty as well.
Quite a bit going on over the next | 0:14:52 | 0:14:56 | |
few days, big sporting fixtures,
Boxing Day, on towards the new year. | 0:14:56 | 0:14:59 | |
If you want the detail in the longer
term than I can give you at the | 0:14:59 | 0:15:03 | |
term than I can give you at the
moment, it is on the BBC weather | 0:15:03 | 0:15:05 | |
website. Thank you very much, and I
know you will be with us throughout | 0:15:05 | 0:15:09 | |
the morning. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:14 | |
Your Christmas | 0:15:14 | 0:15:15 | |
involve much beyond getting off the
couch, but many people are working. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:36 | |
We are going to be talking to lots
of them throughout the programme. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:39 | |
But, first of all let's head
to Nepal, where we can speak | 0:15:39 | 0:15:43 | |
to Lauren Dine and Jason Lund,
who are volunteering | 0:15:43 | 0:15:45 | |
with the International
Citizen Service. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:46 | |
They are also joined
by Samad Siddiqui, | 0:15:46 | 0:15:48 | |
who is a volunteer from Nepal. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:50 | |
What have you been up to? The
volunteers have arrived, we have | 0:15:50 | 0:15:55 | |
been playing Christmas songs,
getting into the Christmas spirit. | 0:15:55 | 0:16:02 | |
And tell us a bit about what you do
out there. Lauren, you do really | 0:16:02 | 0:16:08 | |
important work, there is a lot of
serious work going on in the | 0:16:08 | 0:16:13 | |
background, isn't there? | 0:16:13 | 0:16:17 | |
I am the team leader, I am not
actually out in the school is | 0:16:17 | 0:16:21 | |
working. We have lots of volunteers.
They are split into four separate | 0:16:21 | 0:16:25 | |
communities. One community, ...
Basically we have been working with | 0:16:25 | 0:16:38 | |
school involvement, so they can give
more opportunity to young girls who | 0:16:38 | 0:16:45 | |
suffer from discrimination. We want
to try and increase the | 0:16:45 | 0:16:49 | |
participation and retention of
children who are dropping out of | 0:16:49 | 0:16:55 | |
school from an early age, that
includes organising health, that | 0:16:55 | 0:17:03 | |
covers sanitation are... We are
focusing on education and health, | 0:17:03 | 0:17:21 | |
equipping them with skills, and when
we are focusing on risk of | 0:17:21 | 0:17:30 | |
disasters. Along with that, what we
do, we create an environment where | 0:17:30 | 0:17:41 | |
parents and the community and school
environment, where students can | 0:17:41 | 0:17:51 | |
make... You want to say anything to
your family, they are probably | 0:17:51 | 0:17:58 | |
watching back home here in the UK. I
just want to say hello to my little | 0:17:58 | 0:18:03 | |
brothers and my sister and my mum
and my nieces and nephews, and I | 0:18:03 | 0:18:07 | |
miss them very much. Merry Christmas
to all my family, and I am just | 0:18:07 | 0:18:13 | |
missing them lots. It feels really
good to be doing something that is | 0:18:13 | 0:18:20 | |
helping other people. Fantastic, ...
Merry Christmas from Nepal to | 0:18:20 | 0:18:30 | |
everyone in the UK. Thank you very
much, have a cracking Christmas, | 0:18:30 | 0:18:37 | |
enjoy whatever you are doing today,
it is lovely to talk to you. Thank | 0:18:37 | 0:18:41 | |
you, goodbye! They are very cheery. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:45 | |
As part of our BBC Sing series
we were set a challenge. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:48 | |
Could we pull off a live performance
at Manchester's Bridgewater Hall, | 0:18:48 | 0:18:51 | |
singing in front of more
than a thousand people, | 0:18:51 | 0:18:54 | |
with only eight hours
to learn our lines? | 0:18:54 | 0:18:58 | |
How did we get on? | 0:18:58 | 0:18:59 | |
Let's have a look. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:05 | |
If you have a earmuffs I suggest you
put them on at this point. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:10 | |

... And sync to a full house of more
than 1000 people. That a lot of | 0:19:40 | 0:19:46 | |
people fear that could be
potentially bleeding by the end of | 0:19:46 | 0:19:49 | |
this. Presenters will perform with
the gospel choir, Manchester | 0:19:49 | 0:19:54 | |
inspirational voices. But will they
end the words? | 0:19:54 | 0:19:56 | |
# Lots of toys and... (LAUGHS) | 0:19:56 | 0:19:59 | |
end the words?
# Lots of toys and... (LAUGHS). Will | 0:19:59 | 0:20:03 | |
they remember the tune? I literally
don't even know how it should be. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:08 | |
The challenge is on. I am shaking. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:15 | |

In the audience, to give much-needed | 0:20:28 | 0:20:32 | |
support, Sean and Louisa 's husband.
They had never saying before, | 0:20:32 | 0:20:43 | |
individually or as a quiet, and they
have landed in one day. Wow. Hardly | 0:20:43 | 0:20:47 | |
they have learned the words and I'm
sure they will do well. I'm a big | 0:20:47 | 0:20:52 | |
fan of Dan, so I am looking forward
to singing his performance. Good | 0:20:52 | 0:20:57 | |
luck, do well, breathe before you do
it and just have a good time. | 0:20:57 | 0:21:06 | |
Presenters will need all the help
they can get. They have had just a | 0:21:06 | 0:21:10 | |
couple of hours to learn, rehearse
and perfect the song. I have no what | 0:21:10 | 0:21:18 | |
it -- Thai had no idea what I am
singing. Louise is worried. The | 0:21:18 | 0:21:23 | |
words keep going out of my brain, it
is two lines, it is ridiculous and | 0:21:23 | 0:21:28 | |
embarrassing. There you go! APPLAUSE

goodbye. With just minutes to go,
Wayne gathers the presenters for a | 0:23:31 | 0:23:39 | |
final pep talk. Should anything go
out of place, any notes or anything | 0:23:39 | 0:23:44 | |
like that, you just have to tighten
up, keep your eyes on me. I'm hoping | 0:23:44 | 0:23:49 | |
that they are going to feel
comfortable and just be OK. I just | 0:23:49 | 0:23:53 | |
hope! BBC seem! -- Singh. We will
see what happens. Why did we agree | 0:23:53 | 0:24:12 | |

that's what you do at Christmas.
They were so brave to do it! They | 0:28:39 | 0:28:45 | |
really went for it. I really thought
they did brilliantly. Got away with | 0:28:45 | 0:28:53 | |

Is it safe to come out yet? I am

guests here as well. -- bright red
from Bass. What did you think? | 0:29:25 | 0:29:30 | |
Fantastic. You have to say that,
don't you. I thought you were very | 0:29:30 | 0:29:37 | |
brave. You got everyone to sing
along, engaging with the audience, | 0:29:37 | 0:29:42 | |
that is what it is all about. If
anyone has tuned in in the middle of | 0:29:42 | 0:29:47 | |
Bass, I apologise. Merry Christmas,
thank you. You are here to talk | 0:29:47 | 0:29:53 | |
about, the pressures of Christmas,
we will talk a lot about all of the | 0:29:53 | 0:29:58 | |
great elements, but also for some
people, it can be lonely for a | 0:29:58 | 0:30:02 | |
start. | 0:30:02 | 0:30:07 | |
It can, some people are alone, and
nobody needs to have a miserable | 0:30:07 | 0:30:14 | |
Christmas. There are things everyone
can do to boost their spirits and | 0:30:14 | 0:30:18 | |
engage in a Christmas spirit. What
are your top tips for making | 0:30:18 | 0:30:21 | |
Christmas as best it can be? Take a
moment out for something spiritual, | 0:30:21 | 0:30:27 | |
whatever that means the U. Take a
moment to remember life and what has | 0:30:27 | 0:30:31 | |
been good about this year, remember
the hope, maybe say a prayer if that | 0:30:31 | 0:30:35 | |
is your tradition, gather with those
you love, whether that means | 0:30:35 | 0:30:39 | |
engaging on social media, that means
gathering around a table with | 0:30:39 | 0:30:42 | |
friends and family, get out of the
community if you can, and Overall | 0:30:42 | 0:30:46 | |
walk, go to church, whatever makes
your life enhanced. But do something | 0:30:46 | 0:30:51 | |
that engages with something bigger
than the pressures that can be so | 0:30:51 | 0:30:54 | |
did today. | 0:30:54 | 0:30:54 | |
What are your top tips for
Christmas? If you are on your own it | 0:31:02 | 0:31:07 | |
is easy to think you are totally
alone. If you are mobile and able, | 0:31:07 | 0:31:12 | |
go and do something for somebody
else and with somebody else. There | 0:31:12 | 0:31:15 | |
are plenty of places now where
people are giving out food or | 0:31:15 | 0:31:18 | |
singing in an old people's homes,
and there is always stuff you can | 0:31:18 | 0:31:22 | |
do. Even if it is just knocking on
your neighbour's door and sharing a | 0:31:22 | 0:31:27 | |
mince pie, you can do it. We also
will talk about how to deal with it | 0:31:27 | 0:31:32 | |
if you have a house full of family.
And you will be with us throughout | 0:31:32 | 0:31:36 | |
the morning to talk about all that.
If you have any questions, if you | 0:31:36 | 0:31:40 | |
want to ask our advice, I am not
sure I can help you guys probably | 0:31:40 | 0:31:44 | |
can, on tips to survive the day,
whether it be the organisation, how | 0:31:44 | 0:31:48 | |
to deal with the family, the
etiquette, then do get in touch with | 0:31:48 | 0:31:51 | |
us. We will be back in an hour to
talk about all of that. I will see | 0:31:51 | 0:31:57 | |
you very shortly again. | 0:31:57 | 0:31:59 | |
Hello, this is Breakfast,
with Steph McGovern. | 0:32:02 | 0:32:04 | |
Good morning. | 0:32:04 | 0:32:06 | |
Here is a summary of today's main
stories from BBC News: | 0:32:06 | 0:32:10 | |
The Queen will pay tribute
to the cities of Manchester | 0:32:10 | 0:32:13 | |
and London, in her Christmas Day
broadcast, for the way | 0:32:13 | 0:32:15 | |
in which they dealt with this
year's terrorist attacks. | 0:32:15 | 0:32:18 | |
Her message was recorded
at Buckingham Palace. | 0:32:18 | 0:32:20 | |
She is now at her estate
at Sandringham, in Norfolk, | 0:32:20 | 0:32:22 | |
with other members of the royal
family, including Prince Harry | 0:32:22 | 0:32:25 | |
and his fiancee, Meghan Markle. | 0:32:25 | 0:32:29 | |
Pope Francis has urged the world not
to ignore the plight of millions | 0:32:29 | 0:32:33 | |
of migrants driven from their land,
during Christmas Eve Mass. | 0:32:33 | 0:32:36 | |
The Pontiff compared
them to Mary and Joseph, | 0:32:36 | 0:32:38 | |
recounting the Biblical story of how
they had to travel from Nazareth | 0:32:38 | 0:32:41 | |
to Bethlehem, but found
no place to stay. | 0:32:41 | 0:32:43 | |
He said many migrants
were being forced to flee | 0:32:43 | 0:32:46 | |
from leaders who see no problem
in shedding innocent blood. | 0:32:46 | 0:33:07 | |
At the church of the Nativity, the
service took place amid increased | 0:33:07 | 0:33:11 | |
security, following President
Trump's decision to recognise | 0:33:11 | 0:33:18 | |
Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. | 0:33:18 | 0:33:22 | |
Guatemala will move its embassy
in Israel to Jerusalem, | 0:33:22 | 0:33:24 | |
echoing a move by the
United States of America. | 0:33:24 | 0:33:27 | |
It was one of only nine nations
to vote against a UN resolution | 0:33:27 | 0:33:30 | |
urging America to
reverse its decision. | 0:33:30 | 0:33:32 | |
President Donald Trump threatened
to cut aid to nations that | 0:33:32 | 0:33:35 | |
voted against America. | 0:33:35 | 0:33:35 | |
The US is an important
aid donor to Guatemala, | 0:33:35 | 0:33:38 | |
an impoverished Central
American country. | 0:33:38 | 0:33:41 | |
Around 150 skiers have been rescued
from a broken-down ski lift | 0:33:41 | 0:33:44 | |
in the French Alps,
after being trapped on it | 0:33:44 | 0:33:46 | |
for several hours on Christmas Eve. | 0:33:46 | 0:33:48 | |
Helicopters were used to rescue
the people from their individual | 0:33:48 | 0:33:51 | |
gondolas, which were around 82
feet above the snow, | 0:33:51 | 0:33:53 | |
and rope was used to help the skiers
get back down the slopes. | 0:33:53 | 0:33:57 | |
The cause of the fault isn't known. | 0:33:57 | 0:34:06 | |
Sir Bruce Forsyth, Sir Roger Moore,
Glenn Campbell and John Noakes - | 0:34:06 | 0:34:09 | |
just a few of those
who left us this year. | 0:34:09 | 0:34:12 | |
Let's now celebrate their lives,

to school so that's why I wrote | 0:34:45 | 0:34:48 | |
about school, I wrote
about cars and most of all - | 0:34:48 | 0:34:52 | |
the people, if not now,
they'll soon be in love. | 0:34:52 | 0:34:56 | |
# It's a jumping little record
I want my jockey to play. | 0:34:56 | 0:35:02 | |
# Roll over Beethoven,
I got to hear it again today #. | 0:35:02 | 0:35:06 | |
And you, monsieur,
are the famous Simon Templar. | 0:35:06 | 0:35:08 | |
But what about Brother Vincent? | 0:35:08 | 0:35:12 | |
Supposing he notices something
he thinks Clinton should know about. | 0:35:12 | 0:35:15 | |
Mr...? | 0:35:15 | 0:35:20 | |
Bond. | 0:35:20 | 0:35:23 | |
James Bond. | 0:35:23 | 0:35:25 | |
Is there time before we leave
for lesson number three? | 0:35:25 | 0:35:28 | |
Absolutely. | 0:35:28 | 0:35:37 | |
There's no sense in
going off half-cocked. | 0:35:37 | 0:35:40 | |
Stir in some crushed ice,
shake, strain and pour. | 0:35:40 | 0:35:42 | |
Top it off with one olive. | 0:35:42 | 0:35:46 | |
Two. | 0:35:46 | 0:35:48 | |
Did you say something? | 0:35:48 | 0:35:49 | |
I said two. | 0:35:49 | 0:35:50 | |
You were perfect up
until the olives. | 0:35:50 | 0:35:52 | |
Two olives. | 0:35:52 | 0:35:53 | |
That way you see they can gently
bounce up against each other. | 0:35:53 | 0:35:57 | |
I'm afraid the spectacle of two
olives gently bouncing up | 0:35:57 | 0:36:00 | |
against each other is
a pleasure I shall forego. | 0:36:00 | 0:36:03 | |
Oh, you don't want
to bust up a pair. | 0:36:03 | 0:36:05 | |
We played it tongue in cheek,
as I play most heroes. | 0:36:05 | 0:36:08 | |
I really don't see myself as a hero,
although I play them. | 0:36:08 | 0:36:12 | |
So I'd play it as if
it is all a joke. | 0:36:12 | 0:36:22 | |
A house with a door. | 0:36:22 | 0:36:24 | |
One, two, three, four. | 0:36:24 | 0:36:28 | |
Great big curtain rings,
they must have come out | 0:36:28 | 0:36:30 | |
of a giant's house. | 0:36:30 | 0:36:32 | |
I know what we can do with these. | 0:36:32 | 0:36:34 | |
I will be an owl. | 0:36:34 | 0:36:36 | |
Hee-haw! | 0:36:36 | 0:36:39 | |
Our aim, we were told,
was to play one to one | 0:36:39 | 0:36:42 | |
through the camera. | 0:36:42 | 0:36:44 | |
# Up and down with your brush. | 0:36:44 | 0:36:51 | |
And it works, that is why
people remember it - | 0:36:51 | 0:36:54 | |
because it was as if we were
talking only to them. | 0:36:54 | 0:36:57 | |
It's Windy Miller. | 0:36:57 | 0:36:57 | |
Hello, Windy. | 0:36:57 | 0:37:02 | |
Peel, Pugh, Barney McGrew,
Cuthbert, Dibble, Grubb. | 0:37:02 | 0:37:04 | |
Mr John Noakes! | 0:37:04 | 0:37:09 | |
I'm sure this does me good. | 0:37:09 | 0:37:17 | |
Oh, get off my foot. | 0:37:17 | 0:37:21 | |
Well, our animals are going to be
happy, they will be going away | 0:37:21 | 0:37:25 | |
on holiday too, they're
going to spend it in the country. | 0:37:25 | 0:37:29 | |
But Lulu won't be there. | 0:37:29 | 0:37:34 | |
At this level, the plinth
on which Nelson stands | 0:37:34 | 0:37:37 | |
overhangs the column. | 0:37:37 | 0:37:40 | |
I found myself literally
hanging from the ladder | 0:37:40 | 0:37:43 | |
with nothing beneath me. | 0:37:43 | 0:37:45 | |
Once I had reached the top
of the column the worst part began, | 0:37:45 | 0:37:49 | |
I had to go down again,
in a bosun's chair. | 0:37:49 | 0:37:51 | |
Are you coming down to join me? | 0:37:51 | 0:37:53 | |
Yes, I'm coming down. | 0:37:53 | 0:37:54 | |
Do you feel all right? | 0:37:54 | 0:37:56 | |
Yes, I feel good. | 0:37:56 | 0:38:00 | |
No Shep, don't bite him. | 0:38:00 | 0:38:02 | |
He's a nice fella. | 0:38:02 | 0:38:06 | |
Get down Shep, keep still, boy. | 0:38:06 | 0:38:07 | |
Do as you're told. | 0:38:07 | 0:38:08 | |
come here. | 0:38:08 | 0:38:11 | |
Get down, Shep, behave yourself
or I'll cuff you around the ear. | 0:38:11 | 0:38:14 | |
# John could never be alone,
no matter where he went. | 0:38:14 | 0:38:18 | |
# Because Shep would have a sniff
around and soon pick up the scent. | 0:38:18 | 0:38:26 | |
By Jove, I've just jumped out
of this aeroplane and 50,000 feet | 0:38:26 | 0:38:29 | |
and get down Shep! | 0:38:29 | 0:38:30 | |
I'm upside down! | 0:38:30 | 0:38:32 | |
Hello, welcome to a special
Bank Holiday edition | 0:38:32 | 0:38:40 | |
of Cheggers Plays Pop. | 0:38:40 | 0:38:45 | |
How long did it take
you to record the album. | 0:38:45 | 0:38:48 | |
Between two and three years. | 0:38:48 | 0:38:49 | |
That's a long time. | 0:38:49 | 0:38:53 | |
Do you have any ideas of
what you would like to swap it for? | 0:38:53 | 0:38:57 | |
I'm back again. | 0:38:57 | 0:38:59 | |

I happened to miss a bus one
Christmas evening and went | 0:39:11 | 0:39:14 | |
into a London store and saw this toy
bear on the counter, | 0:39:14 | 0:39:17 | |
nobody had bought it,
it was the only one left, | 0:39:17 | 0:39:20 | |
I took it home to my wife,
we lived near Paddington | 0:39:20 | 0:39:23 | |
so we decided to call it Paddington. | 0:39:23 | 0:39:25 | |
One day I was sitting with a blank
sheet of paper and a typewriter | 0:39:25 | 0:39:29 | |
and started to write a story
about it and I became a book. | 0:39:29 | 0:39:32 | |
Mr and Mrs Brown first met
Paddington on a railway station | 0:39:32 | 0:39:35 | |
which is how he came to have such
an unusual name for a bear. | 0:39:35 | 0:39:39 | |
Based on my father, very polite man,
always wore a hat and Paddington has | 0:39:39 | 0:39:43 | |
a lot of him in him. | 0:39:43 | 0:39:45 | |
Good afternoon, he said,
can I help you? | 0:39:45 | 0:39:49 | |
There's Parsley. | 0:39:49 | 0:39:53 | |
Sometimes Mr Onion lets him
ring the school bell. | 0:39:53 | 0:39:56 | |
Hello, Parsley! | 0:39:56 | 0:39:59 | |
# London, a lovely city. | 0:39:59 | 0:40:07 | |
# You can go to France or America. | 0:40:07 | 0:40:11 | |
# India, Asia, Australia | 0:40:11 | 0:40:12 | |
# You're
gonna come back to London city. | 0:40:12 | 0:40:16 | |
# London is the place for me. | 0:40:16 | 0:40:22 | |
# London is the place for me. | 0:40:22 | 0:40:24 | |
# London is the place for me. | 0:40:24 | 0:40:42 | |
I think there was a sort
of reticence and nervousness | 0:40:45 | 0:40:47 | |
that the women might
take over altogether. | 0:40:47 | 0:40:49 | |
We might not present an acceptable
face of cricket and I actually cried | 0:40:49 | 0:40:53 | |
as I walked out onto the pitch. | 0:40:53 | 0:40:57 | |
It was the most incredible feeling. | 0:40:57 | 0:40:59 | |
Rachel Flynt, what a good piece
of fielding but not good running | 0:40:59 | 0:41:02 | |
between the wickets, though. | 0:41:02 | 0:41:08 | |
Advantage Miss Graf. | 0:41:08 | 0:41:13 | |
Overcome with the emotion of it all. | 0:41:13 | 0:41:17 | |
She just told me "Jana,
you will do it, I believe one day | 0:41:17 | 0:41:21 | |
you will do it." | 0:41:21 | 0:41:27 | |
She's done it! | 0:41:27 | 0:41:36 | |
After our last programme,
the editor of Final Score came | 0:41:44 | 0:41:47 | |
with a box and when he opened it
and pulled out this trophy, | 0:41:47 | 0:41:50 | |
I thought that's absolutely made my
day because that is something that | 0:41:50 | 0:41:54 | |
I have always thought,
having watched the sports | 0:41:54 | 0:41:58 | |
personality of the year,
I would love to have something | 0:41:58 | 0:42:01 | |
like that as a souvenir
of my career. | 0:42:01 | 0:42:07 | |

It was a two-piece but it was itchy
and someone had to zip up the back. | 0:43:11 | 0:43:15 | |
I had to fumble for a long time
to get out of the suit. | 0:43:15 | 0:43:19 | |
If I wanted to go to the bathroom,
somebody had to be there. | 0:43:19 | 0:43:36 | |
What now! | 0:43:36 | 0:43:40 | |
Our parents were slaughtered
with the others. | 0:43:44 | 0:43:50 | |
That is why, that is
why we tried to kill. | 0:43:50 | 0:43:52 | |
That is why, that is why! | 0:43:52 | 0:43:55 | |
We need a team. | 0:43:55 | 0:43:56 | |
Paul, you'll assess material damage. | 0:43:56 | 0:43:57 | |
Helena, medical. | 0:43:57 | 0:43:58 | |
Victor, scientific. | 0:43:58 | 0:43:59 | |
Lori, security. | 0:43:59 | 0:44:00 | |
and put Eagle 1 on the pad for me. | 0:44:00 | 0:44:03 | |
Sandra, cable communication
system wide open. | 0:44:03 | 0:44:04 | |
Any response, relay
it through to us. | 0:44:04 | 0:44:06 | |
Conor, you take over. | 0:44:06 | 0:44:12 | |
English girls abroad with appealing
shoulders and flowery dresses. | 0:44:33 | 0:44:35 | |
Like wallpaper on the march. | 0:44:35 | 0:44:40 | |
That's all right too, not bad. | 0:44:40 | 0:44:44 | |
Not bad, nice face, nice figure. | 0:44:44 | 0:44:46 | |
Good teeth too. | 0:44:46 | 0:44:47 | |
What's the matter with you. | 0:44:47 | 0:44:51 | |
You two, where are you taking them
tonight, Smithfield market? | 0:44:51 | 0:44:55 | |
Are you happy, I mean
really really happy happy? | 0:44:55 | 0:44:58 | |
Fantastically happy. | 0:44:58 | 0:45:02 | |
I am. | 0:45:02 | 0:45:05 | |
I know it's silly but sometimes it
worries me, I'm so happy. | 0:45:05 | 0:45:09 | |
I keep expecting something
to come along and spoil it. | 0:45:09 | 0:45:13 | |
Daft thing, what could
possibly do that. | 0:45:13 | 0:45:23 | |
It happens sometimes in an actor's
life, if you are very very lucky | 0:45:23 | 0:45:26 | |
that something special turns up. | 0:45:26 | 0:45:33 | |
Ready steady go. | 0:45:33 | 0:45:35 | |
And one I read Last Of The Summer
Wine I thought, this is it. | 0:45:35 | 0:45:43 | |
Yes, this is it, this is it,
you can see Tollgate church. | 0:45:43 | 0:45:47 | |
I'm sorry, Gromit, the fact is I am
just crackers about cheeses. | 0:45:47 | 0:46:03 | |
# Although I cry. | 0:46:03 | 0:46:10 | |
# Ain't that a shame? | 0:46:10 | 0:46:14 | |
# I found my thrill. | 0:46:14 | 0:46:21 | |
# On Blueberry Hill. | 0:46:21 | 0:46:23 | |
#On Blueberry Hill,
when I found you. | 0:46:23 | 0:46:42 | |
New Guinea, New Jersey,
New York, New Zealand, | 0:46:49 | 0:46:51 | |
where do you want to go, Chuck? | 0:46:51 | 0:46:54 | |
New Brighton. | 0:46:54 | 0:46:58 | |
I therefore proclaim
that they are husband and wife. | 0:46:58 | 0:47:08 | |
Well go on, kiss me. | 0:47:08 | 0:47:09 | |
Look what I've got! | 0:47:09 | 0:47:15 | |
Hey, I've got a match for my dog,
we saw it in this antiques shop | 0:47:15 | 0:47:19 | |
window on Nightingale Street. | 0:47:19 | 0:47:20 | |
Where are you going, Jack. | 0:47:20 | 0:47:26 | |
To see a man about a thing. | 0:47:26 | 0:47:28 | |
I wouldn't have done
that it was an emergency. | 0:47:28 | 0:47:31 | |
I've bought my own flaming dog. | 0:47:31 | 0:47:32 | |
Calm down Vera love. | 0:47:32 | 0:47:33 | |
48 quid. | 0:47:33 | 0:47:34 | |
That miserable so-and-so
only gave me 25. | 0:47:34 | 0:47:38 | |
I've never loved anybody else. | 0:47:38 | 0:47:39 | |
Come on, say you've never
loved anybody else. | 0:47:39 | 0:47:41 | |
I've never loved anybody else,
shall I go and get your slippers? | 0:47:41 | 0:47:44 | |
Please. | 0:47:44 | 0:48:10 | |
I wish that at that time I had been
older, so that I would have been | 0:48:29 | 0:48:34 | |
able to have answered
or spoke up for myself. | 0:48:34 | 0:48:39 | |
You move like a racehorse. | 0:48:39 | 0:48:41 | |
You walk like a Derby winner. | 0:48:41 | 0:48:46 | |
You must let me help you. | 0:48:46 | 0:48:47 | |
Introduce you to some friends
of mine, some photographers, | 0:48:47 | 0:48:50 | |
film people, television people. | 0:48:50 | 0:48:52 | |
I could do wonders
with you, little baby. | 0:48:52 | 0:48:55 | |
I am homosexual, irretrievably. | 0:48:55 | 0:49:02 | |
Why did you come here
looking as you do? | 0:49:02 | 0:49:06 | |
Well... | 0:49:06 | 0:49:09 | |
Many people said don't do that,
you'll never work again | 0:49:09 | 0:49:11 | |
and I said it is not
about homosexuality, | 0:49:11 | 0:49:13 | |
it is about the tenderness
of the individual as opposed | 0:49:13 | 0:49:16 | |
to the cruelty of the crowd. | 0:49:16 | 0:49:18 | |
We did so well, but... | 0:49:18 | 0:49:23 | |
A beautiful woman. | 0:49:23 | 0:49:26 | |
You are my future selves? | 0:49:26 | 0:49:28 | |
Yes. | 0:49:28 | 0:49:29 | |
Am I having a midlife crisis? | 0:49:29 | 0:49:33 | |
Why are you pointing
screwdrivers like that? | 0:49:33 | 0:49:34 | |
They're scientific instruments,
not water pistols. | 0:49:34 | 0:49:39 | |

you could join us. | 0:49:41 | 0:49:43 | |

I hold you responsible
for what Biggins James, | 0:52:18 | 0:52:25 | |
it is this rag bag of fugitives
from the debtors prison | 0:52:25 | 0:52:28 | |
that
should concern us. | 0:52:28 | 0:52:29 | |
I remember a day when we did
alarming sequence through the night | 0:52:29 | 0:52:33 | |
I remember a day when we did
a lambing sequence through the night | 0:52:33 | 0:52:37 | |
in the ice cold of winter,
deep snow, endless frost. | 0:52:37 | 0:52:39 | |
We few, we happy few! | 0:52:39 | 0:52:42 | |
We band of brothers. | 0:52:42 | 0:52:46 | |
But the removal of those grievances
ought to precede the disarmament | 0:52:46 | 0:52:50 | |
of the victims. | 0:52:50 | 0:53:03 | |

For such backbenchers,
it's the curse of coalition | 0:53:29 | 0:53:31 | |
politics, but the government
is putting it down to the reality | 0:53:31 | 0:53:34 | |
of an ageing and needful population. | 0:53:34 | 0:53:37 | |
We've been shown that register
and it suggests that far | 0:53:37 | 0:53:41 | |
from lessening, the threat
is greater now than at any time | 0:53:41 | 0:53:44 | |

of the institutions | 0:53:50 | 0:53:52 | |
he was involved with. | 0:53:52 | 0:53:54 | |
I think the decision
to drop our story was a breach | 0:53:54 | 0:53:57 | |
of our duty to the women who trusted
us to reveal that Jimmy Savile | 0:53:57 | 0:54:01 | |
was a paedophile. | 0:54:01 | 0:54:08 | |
# Some walk by night | 0:54:08 | 0:54:09 | |
# Some fly by day | 0:54:09 | 0:54:14 | |
# Nothing could change you | 0:54:14 | 0:54:18 | |
# Said I'm sure of the way #. | 0:54:18 | 0:54:23 | |
# There is the sun and moon | 0:54:23 | 0:54:34 | |
# Facing their own sweet tune | 0:54:34 | 0:54:36 | |
# Watch them when dawn
is due | 0:54:36 | 0:54:41 | |
# Sharing one space | 0:54:41 | 0:54:42 | |
# We'll walk by night,
babe | 0:54:42 | 0:54:47 | |
# We'll fly by day | 0:54:47 | 0:54:50 | |
# Moonlighting strangers | 0:54:50 | 0:54:56 | |
# Who just met on the way...#. | 0:54:56 | 0:55:02 | |
Now in the movie industry,
of course, hype is good news | 0:55:02 | 0:55:05 | |
if the film lives up to it,
very bad news of it doesn't. | 0:55:05 | 0:55:08 | |
A morally uplifting parable
about faith and redemption and how | 0:55:08 | 0:55:11 | |
naive innocence can be mistaken
for wisdom begins to unfold. | 0:55:11 | 0:55:14 | |
Now it's OK, now you can
let the tears flow. | 0:55:14 | 0:55:17 | |
I probably shed a couple myself
as per the very last time I bow | 0:55:17 | 0:55:21 | |
myself out to the accompaniment
of Billy Taylor and the best theme | 0:55:21 | 0:55:24 | |
tune on television. | 0:55:24 | 0:55:26 | |

On his way to win his sixth TT

I don't set out with definite

whatever I do. | 0:56:24 | 0:56:26 | |
In his Ferrari, John Surtees,

leading the ten cars,
is still in the race. | 0:56:29 | 0:56:36 | |

Hi there. | 0:57:05 | 0:57:07 | |
SCREAMING | 0:57:07 | 0:57:07 | |
To be honest with you,
I've been touring for about three, | 0:57:07 | 0:57:10 | |
3.5 years, and I am really tired. | 0:57:10 | 0:57:15 | |
# I feel like I've never
known a time before... | 0:57:15 | 0:57:27 | |
# Just knowing that your door
is always open | 0:57:27 | 0:57:30 | |
# And your path
is free to walk... | 0:57:30 | 0:57:32 | |
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen,
I am Glenn Campbell. | 0:57:32 | 0:57:36 | |
I don't remember not having a guitar
or a musical instrument in my hand, | 0:57:36 | 0:57:39 | |
and my dad bought a guitar
for $5.95, you know. | 0:57:39 | 0:57:43 | |
# I love you... | 0:57:43 | 0:57:46 | |
I found out real quick
that it was lighter than pulling | 0:57:46 | 0:57:49 | |
a cotton sack or ploughing. | 0:57:49 | 0:57:54 | |
# I'm going to be where the lights

# And I drive the main road | 0:58:13 | 0:58:21 | |
I am a lineman for
the county and what... | 0:58:21 | 0:58:23 | |
Drive... | 0:58:23 | 0:58:24 | |
# Drive the main roads. | 0:58:24 | 0:58:29 | |
Yeah, looking in the sun
for another overload. | 0:58:29 | 0:58:32 | |
I hear you wire, I hear
you ringing through the wire... | 0:58:32 | 0:58:35 | |

Hello, this is Breakfast
with Steph McGovern. | 1:00:58 | 1:01:00 | |
The Queen pays tribute to the people
of London and Manchester after this | 1:01:00 | 1:01:03 | |
year's terror attacks. | 1:01:03 | 1:01:04 | |
In her Christmas Day message,
she will say the cities' powerful | 1:01:04 | 1:01:07 | |
identities had shone
through in the face | 1:01:07 | 1:01:09 | |
of appalling attacks. | 1:01:09 | 1:01:12 | |
I'm at the Queen's Sandringham
estate, in Norfolk, | 1:01:12 | 1:01:15 | |
where she will attend
church this morning with the rest | 1:01:15 | 1:01:17 | |
of the royal family,
including Prince Harry | 1:01:17 | 1:01:19 | |
and his new fiancee,
Meghan Markle. | 1:01:19 | 1:01:34 | |
Good morning, merry Christmas. | 1:01:34 | 1:01:35 | |
It is Monday 25 December. | 1:01:35 | 1:01:47 | |
Also ahead: The Pope urges the world
not to ignore the plight of migrants | 1:01:47 | 1:01:50 | |
forced to leave their countries
because of violence. | 1:01:50 | 1:01:53 | |
Christmas isn't all about presents
and turkey dinners. | 1:01:53 | 1:01:55 | |
Over a million people
will be working today. | 1:01:55 | 1:01:57 | |
We will catch up with some of them. | 1:01:57 | 1:01:59 | |
I have no idea what I'm singing. | 1:01:59 | 1:02:01 | |
Louise is worried. | 1:02:01 | 1:02:07 | |
And six Breakfast presenters
and a 1,000-strong audience - | 1:02:07 | 1:02:09 | |
what could possibly go wrong?! | 1:02:09 | 1:02:11 | |
Find out how we got on in our
big singing challenge. | 1:02:11 | 1:02:14 | |
And Phil Avery has the weather. | 1:02:14 | 1:02:18 | |
Steph, very good morning to you. | 1:02:18 | 1:02:27 | |
Here things are looking up, you have
not just one but two very red-faced | 1:02:27 | 1:02:32 | |
men wishing you a Merry Christmas. I
will have all the details in a few | 1:02:32 | 1:02:37 | |
minutes. | 1:02:37 | 1:02:38 | |
Good morning. | 1:02:38 | 1:02:39 | |
First, our main story: The Queen
will pay tribute to the cities | 1:02:39 | 1:02:42 | |
of Manchester and London
in her Christmas Day broadcast, | 1:02:42 | 1:02:45 | |
for the way in which they dealt
with this year's terrorist attacks. | 1:02:45 | 1:02:48 | |
She is at her estate at Sandringham
with other members of the royal | 1:02:48 | 1:02:51 | |
family, including Prince Harry
and his fiancee, Meghan Markle. | 1:02:51 | 1:02:54 | |
Our royal correspondent
Nicholas Witchell reports. | 1:02:54 | 1:03:00 | |
The Queen recorded this year's
broadcast a few days ago | 1:03:00 | 1:03:03 | |
at Buckingham Palace. | 1:03:03 | 1:03:05 | |
Its main theme is the importance
of home, a place she describes | 1:03:05 | 1:03:08 | |
as a source of warmth and love. | 1:03:08 | 1:03:10 | |
Looking back over the events
of 2017, she praises the cities | 1:03:10 | 1:03:13 | |
of London and Manchester. | 1:03:13 | 1:03:17 | |
The Queen visited victims
of the bombing at Manchester Arena, | 1:03:17 | 1:03:19 | |
in which 22 people died
as they left a concert. | 1:03:19 | 1:03:22 | |
In her broadcast, she will talk
about the powerful identities | 1:03:22 | 1:03:25 | |
of Manchester and London,
which she says had shone | 1:03:25 | 1:03:27 | |
through in the face
of appalling attacks. | 1:03:27 | 1:03:34 | |
On the table beside her
in the broadcast, alongside pictures | 1:03:34 | 1:03:37 | |
of Prince George and Princess
Charlotte, are two photographs | 1:03:37 | 1:03:39 | |
of her and her husband,
one of which was taken | 1:03:39 | 1:03:42 | |
on their wedding day in 1947. | 1:03:42 | 1:03:44 | |
This year, they have
celebrated their 70th wedding | 1:03:44 | 1:03:46 | |
anniversary, and the Duke
of Edinburgh retired | 1:03:46 | 1:03:48 | |
from his separate programme
of public engagements. | 1:03:48 | 1:03:50 | |
In the broadcast, the Queen
will praise her husband | 1:03:50 | 1:03:52 | |
for his support and, as she puts it,
for his unique sense of humour. | 1:03:52 | 1:04:01 | |
The world's most
experienced plucker. | 1:04:01 | 1:04:02 | |
LAUGHTER. | 1:04:02 | 1:04:02 | |
The Queen was absent from last
year's Christmas Day church service | 1:04:02 | 1:04:05 | |
at Sandringham, due to a heavy cold. | 1:04:05 | 1:04:07 | |
But there is expected to be a full
turnout of the family at church this | 1:04:07 | 1:04:11 | |
morning, and among the group
attending church will be | 1:04:11 | 1:04:14 | |
Prince Harry and his fiancee,
Meghan Markle, who are both spending | 1:04:14 | 1:04:17 | |
Christmas on the Sandringham estate. | 1:04:17 | 1:04:20 | |
It will be the first time someone
who is yet to marry into the royal | 1:04:20 | 1:04:24 | |
family will have joined
their Christmas celebrations, | 1:04:24 | 1:04:26 | |
her presence a reminder of one
of the events to which the family | 1:04:26 | 1:04:30 | |
can look forward in 2018. | 1:04:30 | 1:04:31 | |
And the Queen's Christmas Day
broadcast will be on BBC One | 1:04:31 | 1:04:34 | |
at 3:00pm this afternoon. | 1:04:34 | 1:04:37 | |
Pope Francis has urged the world not
to ignore the plight of millions | 1:04:37 | 1:04:41 | |
of migrants driven from their land,
during Christmas Eve Mass. | 1:04:41 | 1:04:43 | |
The Pontiff compared
them to Mary and Joseph, | 1:04:43 | 1:04:45 | |
recounting how they had to travel
from Nazareth to Bethlehem, | 1:04:45 | 1:04:48 | |
but found no place to stay. | 1:04:48 | 1:04:50 | |
He said many migrants
were being forced to flee | 1:04:50 | 1:04:52 | |
from leaders who see no problem
in shedding innocent blood. | 1:04:52 | 1:04:55 | |
Meanwhile, services have taken place
across the UK and further afield. | 1:04:55 | 1:04:58 | |
Our religious editor
Martin Bashir reports. | 1:04:58 | 1:05:12 | |
At Westminster Cathedral,
Cardinal Vincent Nichols, | 1:05:12 | 1:05:15 | |
leader of the Roman Catholic Church
in England and Wales, | 1:05:15 | 1:05:20 | |
framed his Christmas message
as a statement of concern | 1:05:20 | 1:05:22 | |
for the way we tend
to communicate with each other. | 1:05:22 | 1:05:26 | |
He said we often prefer
conflict to dialogue, | 1:05:26 | 1:05:29 | |
hostility instead of
a willingness to listen. | 1:05:29 | 1:05:34 | |
It's a manifestation
of a radical individualism. | 1:05:34 | 1:05:39 | |
And, while the individual
is hugely important, | 1:05:39 | 1:05:43 | |
we have to know that we are also
built to belong to each other. | 1:05:43 | 1:05:48 | |
We're built to have relationships,
and to work and find our | 1:05:48 | 1:05:51 | |
best through relationships. | 1:05:51 | 1:05:54 | |
He went on to say that,
as we gaze into a nativity scene | 1:05:54 | 1:05:58 | |
at Christmas, we find one who can
free us from the choking effects | 1:05:58 | 1:06:02 | |
of disagreement and strife -
Christ himself. | 1:06:02 | 1:06:07 | |
And at the very beginning
of the Christmas narrative, | 1:06:07 | 1:06:10 | |
here in Bethlehem, in a land defined
by walls of separation, | 1:06:10 | 1:06:13 | |
a renewed call for reconciliation. | 1:06:13 | 1:06:22 | |
Here in Manger Square,
a midnight service has been held | 1:06:22 | 1:06:24 | |
at the Church of the Nativity,
where the Archbishop of Jerusalem | 1:06:24 | 1:06:28 | |
said that, while Jesus was born
in a town under Roman occupation, | 1:06:28 | 1:06:31 | |
he was identified as
the Prince of Peace. | 1:06:31 | 1:06:43 | |
Guatemala has said it
will follow America's lead, | 1:06:43 | 1:06:45 | |
moving its embassy in
Israel to Jerusalem too. | 1:06:45 | 1:06:47 | |
Guatemalan President Jimmy Morales
said he made the decision | 1:06:47 | 1:06:50 | |
after speaking to Israel's PM,
Benjamin Netanyahu. | 1:06:50 | 1:06:51 | |
Donald Trump had threatened to cut
aid to nations that voted | 1:06:51 | 1:06:54 | |
against the US in a recent
UN vote on the issue. | 1:06:54 | 1:07:01 | |
A British woman being held
in an Egyptian prison for drug | 1:07:01 | 1:07:04 | |
smuggling offences will appear
in court later today. | 1:07:04 | 1:07:07 | |
Laura Plummer was arrested
in October, when she was found | 1:07:07 | 1:07:09 | |
with 290 tramadol
tablets in her suitcase. | 1:07:09 | 1:07:11 | |
The painkiller is legal
in the UK, but not in Egypt. | 1:07:11 | 1:07:14 | |
Her family has maintained she wasn't
aware the drug was illegal. | 1:07:14 | 1:07:17 | |
If found guilty, she faces up
to 25 years in prison. | 1:07:17 | 1:07:26 | |
Surrey Police are trying to identify
a man who was found unconscious | 1:07:26 | 1:07:29 | |
in a ditch yesterday afternoon. | 1:07:29 | 1:07:31 | |
They have released pictures
of the man's clothing in an attempt | 1:07:31 | 1:07:34 | |
to track down his family. | 1:07:34 | 1:07:35 | |
The man, who is thought to be
in his 20s, is in a serious | 1:07:35 | 1:07:39 | |
condition in hospital. | 1:07:39 | 1:07:52 | |
Almost 200,000 people are currently
serving as part of the UK Armed | 1:07:52 | 1:07:55 | |
Forces, and for many on deployment,
it means Christmas away from loved | 1:07:55 | 1:07:59 | |
ones. Yesterday BBC visited one
military base in Iraq as troops | 1:07:59 | 1:08:03 | |
prepared to spend the day far, far
from home. | 1:08:03 | 1:08:08 | |
I am not going to pretend that it is
not difficult to be in Iraq over | 1:08:08 | 1:08:12 | |
Christmas. Of all the families are
part of Christmas, these are amongst | 1:08:12 | 1:08:17 | |
the furthest away for the longest
amount of time. This is my first | 1:08:17 | 1:08:21 | |
Christmas away from home in the
army, and to be honest, I am here | 1:08:21 | 1:08:24 | |
with the lads, I am here with the
guys, I am here with my friends. It | 1:08:24 | 1:08:29 | |
is not with the family but it is
quite good. As you can see it as a | 1:08:29 | 1:08:33 | |
good atmosphere, it is good fun.
After 21 years' service, you get | 1:08:33 | 1:08:37 | |
used to being away from home. It
gets harder when you have a wife and | 1:08:37 | 1:08:41 | |
child away from home. You won't get
to see her open presence on | 1:08:41 | 1:08:45 | |
Christmas Day. Some improvisation
helps give a feel of Christmas in | 1:08:45 | 1:08:48 | |
the desert, but of course, not
everything can be replicated. They | 1:08:48 | 1:08:53 | |
have done quite well, doing it with
old tyres, et cetera. What do I miss | 1:08:53 | 1:08:57 | |
most? A good Christmas dinner, I
think, will be the one. You know, | 1:08:57 | 1:09:02 | |
mum's cooking. It is a reminder that
British troops are still serving in | 1:09:02 | 1:09:10 | |
Iraq, rebuilding the country and
others around the world, work that | 1:09:10 | 1:09:13 | |
doesn't stop for Christmas. | 1:09:13 | 1:09:23 | |
Around 150 skiers have been rescued
from a broken-down ski lift | 1:09:23 | 1:09:25 | |
in the French Alps,
after being trapped on it | 1:09:25 | 1:09:28 | |
for several hours on Christmas Eve. | 1:09:28 | 1:09:30 | |
Helicopters were used to rescue
the people from their individual | 1:09:30 | 1:09:32 | |
gondolas, which were around 82
feet above the snow, | 1:09:32 | 1:09:35 | |
and rope was used to help the skiers
get back down the slopes. | 1:09:35 | 1:09:38 | |
The cause of the fault isn't known. | 1:09:38 | 1:09:54 | |
It might be deepest winter at home,
but England's cricketers will step | 1:09:54 | 1:09:57 | |
out into the summer sunshine
in Australia later today | 1:09:57 | 1:10:00 | |
for the first session
of the next Ashes Test. | 1:10:00 | 1:10:02 | |
They have already lost the series,
but organisers expect a sell-out | 1:10:02 | 1:10:05 | |
at the Melbourne Cricket Ground,
as they try to rescue some pride. | 1:10:05 | 1:10:08 | |
Play begins in Australia
at 11:30pm UK time. | 1:10:08 | 1:10:17 | |
If you are relaxing at home,
perhaps opening presents this | 1:10:17 | 1:10:19 | |
morning, spare a thought for this
team, who are still hard at work. | 1:10:19 | 1:10:23 | |
Santa and his reindeer spent
the night travelling the globe | 1:10:23 | 1:10:26 | |
to deliver presents
to children across the world. | 1:10:26 | 1:10:28 | |
To make sure their journey
went without a hitch, | 1:10:28 | 1:10:30 | |
air traffic controllers from the US
have been tracking the flight path | 1:10:30 | 1:10:34 | |
of his sleigh. | 1:10:34 | 1:10:40 | |
As you can see, he has already
delivered billions of presents. | 1:10:40 | 1:10:49 | |
He is currently heading for Salt
Lake City in Utah, I am reliably | 1:10:49 | 1:10:55 | |
told by a couple of elves in the
studio this morning. If you want to | 1:10:55 | 1:11:01 | |
track Santa, that is a great way to
see where he is. The air traffic | 1:11:01 | 1:11:06 | |
control team put that together for
us. | 1:11:06 | 1:11:08 | |
Later this morning, the royal family
will make the short walk | 1:11:08 | 1:11:12 | |
to St Mary Magdalene's church,
on the Sandringham estate. | 1:11:12 | 1:11:14 | |
Our royal correspondent
Daniela Relph is there. | 1:11:14 | 1:11:21 | |
Good morning to you, and already
lots of people who are hoping to | 1:11:21 | 1:11:25 | |
catch a glimpse of them. Yes, good
morning. Merry Christmas. If you | 1:11:25 | 1:11:30 | |
want to get a prime position to see
the Royal Family as they come to | 1:11:30 | 1:11:34 | |
church ahead of the Christmas
service at 11am this morning, you | 1:11:34 | 1:11:37 | |
have to get here early. The key was
already building to the gates of the | 1:11:37 | 1:11:42 | |
church, with lots of people wanting
to see the Royal Family, but lots of | 1:11:42 | 1:11:46 | |
people also wanting to get a glimpse
of Meghan Markle this morning. A | 1:11:46 | 1:11:50 | |
fair share of Americans, perhaps
more than usual in the crowd. I am | 1:11:50 | 1:11:54 | |
joined by a few of them hoping to
see Meghan first of all, these girls | 1:11:54 | 1:11:59 | |
are from Mississippi and Nebraska.
Tell me, why are you here so early | 1:11:59 | 1:12:04 | |
on Christmas morning? I am looking
forward to all of the royals, Meghan | 1:12:04 | 1:12:09 | |
, also her fiance, very
good-looking, so I am excited for | 1:12:09 | 1:12:13 | |
that. And she is an American, does
that make you feel a bit more | 1:12:13 | 1:12:18 | |
connect to the British royals? Yes,
I really excited to see what happens | 1:12:18 | 1:12:23 | |
without marrying into the family.
And pretty committed to come out so | 1:12:23 | 1:12:27 | |
early on Christmas Day. Yes, we are
about to leave so this is my last | 1:12:27 | 1:12:32 | |
chance to see the royals in person.
Really looking forward to it. What | 1:12:32 | 1:12:36 | |
about having an American in the
midst of the Royal Family? It is | 1:12:36 | 1:12:42 | |
definitely intriguing, exciting. We
have never had that before, so it is | 1:12:42 | 1:12:46 | |
exciting. Also a bit of a family
occasion this morning. Not everyone | 1:12:46 | 1:12:51 | |
is opening their presents. We have
Joseph and Lauren with their kids. | 1:12:51 | 1:12:56 | |
Summer is ten and Josh is nine. And
Blake is asleep in her dad's arms. | 1:12:56 | 1:13:06 | |
You have brought the whole family
out early on Christmas Day. Why have | 1:13:06 | 1:13:11 | |
you come here? We wanted to start a
tradition, we thought it was a good | 1:13:11 | 1:13:17 | |
chance for the kids to see the Royal
Family. And as an American here, | 1:13:17 | 1:13:22 | |
knowing there will be an American
marrying into the heart of the | 1:13:22 | 1:13:25 | |
British Royal family? It is pretty
neat. Looking after his daughter | 1:13:25 | 1:13:36 | |
there. Who are you hoping to see?
Probably Kate and William, and the | 1:13:36 | 1:13:42 | |
kids, Queen Elizabeth of course, and
Meghan Markle and Harry. Is there | 1:13:42 | 1:13:47 | |
are a lot of excitement back home
about an American joining the | 1:13:47 | 1:13:50 | |
British royals? I think so, I think
it is a unique opportunity. Do you | 1:13:50 | 1:13:57 | |
wish you were home opening your
presence, or are you happy to be | 1:13:57 | 1:14:02 | |
here? I am happy to be here.
Something quite special. And what | 1:14:02 | 1:14:07 | |
about you, Josh? I am feeling a
little bit tired. It will be | 1:14:07 | 1:14:14 | |
something you remember in years to
come, I promise. I hope you all get | 1:14:14 | 1:14:18 | |
a good position. You should do, so
early on this morning. And everyone | 1:14:18 | 1:14:22 | |
here of course gathering to see the
Royal Family. We should see the | 1:14:22 | 1:14:26 | |
Queen driven to the church just
before 11am, but ahead of her we are | 1:14:26 | 1:14:31 | |
expecting to see most members of the
Royal Family walking up to the main | 1:14:31 | 1:14:36 | |
house of Sandringham, up to St Mary
Magdalene, and accompanied by Meghan | 1:14:36 | 1:14:46 | |
Markle, which is a protocol.
Normally partners of the Royal | 1:14:46 | 1:14:49 | |
Family don't get to come to
Sandringham until they are married | 1:14:49 | 1:14:52 | |
but an exception has been made for
Meghan Markle, largely because her | 1:14:52 | 1:14:56 | |
immediate family are in the United
States and she has moved to the UK I | 1:14:56 | 1:15:00 | |
had of her wedding in May next year.
Prince Harry asked Queen whether she | 1:15:00 | 1:15:04 | |
can come and she will be with the
Royal Family today. A break of | 1:15:04 | 1:15:08 | |
protocol but it will be the first
time we see Meghan Markle as part of | 1:15:08 | 1:15:12 | |
the wider Royal family. Expecting to
get our first glimpse at around | 1:15:12 | 1:15:16 | |
10:45am this morning. | 1:15:16 | 1:15:20 | |
Everyone looks pretty | 1:15:20 | 1:15:24 | |
wrapped up. Let's find out what is
happening across the rest of the | 1:15:28 | 1:15:30 | |
country. | 1:15:30 | 1:15:32 | |
We are relying on our Weather
Watchers as ever. If you happen to | 1:15:32 | 1:15:37 | |
know a little boy by the name of
David Hudson, he was off doing his | 1:15:37 | 1:15:42 | |
Christmas shopping yesterday at a
garden centre in Leeds, and if you | 1:15:42 | 1:15:46 | |
happen to be at the moment, David,
there is the picture you sent to my | 1:15:46 | 1:15:50 | |
colleagues at BBC Leeds, and are not
sort it if it was sent that | 1:15:50 | 1:15:54 | |
delivered it to me, -- not sure.
What a present. It didn't cost | 1:15:54 | 1:16:00 | |
apparent anything. With the licence
fee in its own right. It is not | 1:16:00 | 1:16:06 | |
particular seasonal at the moment,
because we are yet again picking up | 1:16:06 | 1:16:10 | |
on this mild southerly and
south-westerly wind, plenty of | 1:16:10 | 1:16:15 | |
on this mild southerly and
south-westerly wind, plenty of it at | 1:16:15 | 1:16:16 | |
the moment, some of the gusts over
30 miles an hour on the south Coast, | 1:16:16 | 1:16:20 | |
and once again -- once this weather
band begins its journey across | 1:16:20 | 1:16:24 | |
England and Wales, during the course
of the evening, you will know all | 1:16:24 | 1:16:28 | |
about it, really quite punchy for a
time and the wind picking up, it | 1:16:28 | 1:16:33 | |
could be 60 miles an hour on the
south coast at times. The rain | 1:16:33 | 1:16:37 | |
already there across parts of
Scotland and the far north-west of | 1:16:37 | 1:16:43 | |
England, once the rain moves further
south it will open the door to | 1:16:43 | 1:16:47 | |
something cooler, forget about
double-figure temperatures, already | 1:16:47 | 1:16:50 | |
I am told it is already three
degrees also will, which is why when | 1:16:50 | 1:16:56 | |
the moisture moves further east and
the cold air floods down, we will | 1:16:56 | 1:16:59 | |
see a bit of a conversion, mostly
over the higher ground of northern | 1:16:59 | 1:17:04 | |
Britain, of some of that rain into
snow, and we are heading for a | 1:17:04 | 1:17:08 | |
chilly night. If you are on the move
first thing Boxing Day, there will | 1:17:08 | 1:17:12 | |
be some ice around but some of our
sporting fixtures, it is a big | 1:17:12 | 1:17:16 | |
hunting day as well in some areas,
don't worry because once the sun | 1:17:16 | 1:17:19 | |
comes through, the frost on the ice
will dissipate and there will be | 1:17:19 | 1:17:24 | |
further snow showers because Boxing
Day is a different beast, hello 3-8 | 1:17:24 | 1:17:31 | |
degrees, and more cloud, wind and
rain gathering down into the | 1:17:31 | 1:17:35 | |
south-western quarter to finish off
your sporting Boxing Day. Maybe your | 1:17:35 | 1:17:38 | |
shopping. Nipping into top flank, we
have that cold air, and you can fill | 1:17:38 | 1:17:54 | |
it in from here, because going into
Wednesday, we will push the area of | 1:17:54 | 1:17:59 | |
cloud in wind and rain into the
East, and look at this, no longer | 1:17:59 | 1:18:02 | |
the high ground of Scotland but
Easterby Pennines, down to the | 1:18:02 | 1:18:06 | |
higher ground of Wilts, the
children's perhaps later in the day, | 1:18:06 | 1:18:10 | |
we could see a little bit of slushy
snow just beginning to pile up. | 1:18:10 | 1:18:14 | |
Hardly Christmas fare I know. There
is a lot going on and it will be | 1:18:14 | 1:18:19 | |
chilly as we go up towards the new
year period, you can get all of it | 1:18:19 | 1:18:23 | |
on our website. You and I are
working, Phil, what will you do for | 1:18:23 | 1:18:28 | |
your Christmas lunch? I have got the
plans, it has become a Christmas | 1:18:28 | 1:18:32 | |
ritual, but those of you with a bit
of May memory, may remember that I | 1:18:32 | 1:18:37 | |
have been here for about the last
four or five Christmases, and at | 1:18:37 | 1:18:41 | |
about 1130, 12pm, my family will be
rocking up to enjoy the festive | 1:18:41 | 1:18:46 | |
treat that is the BBC canteen, Mr
cheapskate really pushing the boat | 1:18:46 | 1:18:50 | |
out and the family will be tucking
in to whatever they want. They all | 1:18:50 | 1:18:56 | |
come into the BBC canteen? Of
course, who wouldn't! I never knew | 1:18:56 | 1:19:01 | |
that. Last year, I sat there looking
at my children who are now ten and | 1:19:01 | 1:19:07 | |
eight and I looked at them and my
son was tucking into two sausage | 1:19:07 | 1:19:11 | |
rolls and a pilot tomato sauce and I
think my daughter at a jacket | 1:19:11 | 1:19:14 | |
potato. I will rename you the
Grinch, I think! See you later on. | 1:19:14 | 1:19:26 | |
Lots of people are working. | 1:19:26 | 1:19:28 | |
If you'll be spending today tucking
into a turkey dinner and watching | 1:19:28 | 1:19:31 | |
Christmas films, you
certainly won't be alone. | 1:19:31 | 1:19:33 | |
But some people will be doing some
pretty incredible things, | 1:19:33 | 1:19:35 | |
like attempting to sail
the hardest race in the world! | 1:19:35 | 1:19:40 | |
Let's speak to Jules Salter. | 1:19:40 | 1:19:42 | |
He joins us live from Melbourne,
and is the team navigator | 1:19:42 | 1:19:45 | |
for Team AkzoNobel. | 1:19:45 | 1:19:51 | |
There is a bit of a delay on the
line, Merry Christmas to you and | 1:19:51 | 1:19:55 | |
also tell us where you are and how
it is going? | 1:19:55 | 1:20:03 | |
also tell us where you are and how
it is going? Happy Christmas to | 1:20:03 | 1:20:09 | |
everyone in the UK we are currently
about 450 miles south of Melbourne, | 1:20:09 | 1:20:17 | |
it is late afternoon he now on
Christmas Day, grey skies, the winds | 1:20:17 | 1:20:21 | |
have dropped off a bit but the sea
temperature is starting to warm up a | 1:20:21 | 1:20:26 | |
bit, which is making things a bit
warmer on board. And tell us that it | 1:20:26 | 1:20:34 | |
about how you will be celebrating
Christmas, is there any room for a | 1:20:34 | 1:20:38 | |
Christmas dinner on board? | 1:20:38 | 1:20:44 | |
Well, we try to save weight on the
boat, so all our food is pretty much | 1:20:50 | 1:20:55 | |
freeze-dried food, there is a fair
bit of chocolate on board, so I | 1:20:55 | 1:21:00 | |
think everyone has had a bitter
chocolate, and I will probably have | 1:21:00 | 1:21:03 | |
some kind of chicken curry,
freeze-dried, as my Christmas dinner | 1:21:03 | 1:21:08 | |
which should be OK. Really we are
trying to get the boat into | 1:21:08 | 1:21:12 | |
Melbourne to train finish this lake
as best we can. A little bit of | 1:21:12 | 1:21:16 | |
tinsel has ended up on the boat, but
that is pretty much... It is not too | 1:21:16 | 1:21:24 | |
bad to spend your day at work out on
the ocean. It sounds brilliant, | 1:21:24 | 1:21:28 | |
thank you very much for joining us,
I can see someone in the background | 1:21:28 | 1:21:33 | |
without was on his head. Have a
wonderful Christmas! -- with | 1:21:33 | 1:21:39 | |
antlers. What a way to spend your
Christmas, Christmas Day for some | 1:21:39 | 1:21:46 | |
can be a day of joy and celebration. | 1:21:46 | 1:21:50 | |
For others it can be anxiety
and even loneliness. | 1:21:50 | 1:21:52 | |
To help us survive the day,
we've got the Breakfast version | 1:21:52 | 1:21:55 | |
of the three wise men. | 1:21:55 | 1:21:57 | |
Corinne Sweet is a psychologist,
Sally Hitchiner is an Anglican Vicar | 1:21:57 | 1:22:01 | |
and Grant Harrold, a former royal
butler and etiquette expert. | 1:22:01 | 1:22:07 | |
We have it all going on this
morning. Think you for joining us. | 1:22:07 | 1:22:11 | |
Sally, let me start with you. One of
the tough things are Christmas can | 1:22:11 | 1:22:15 | |
be loneliness, and we have quite a
few messages from people about that. | 1:22:15 | 1:22:19 | |
It is important to acknowledge that
not everyone has perfect family. | 1:22:19 | 1:22:25 | |
Some people their family business
goes over seven days, and for some | 1:22:25 | 1:22:29 | |
they are spending Christmas alone.
You can get out of the house, gopher | 1:22:29 | 1:22:35 | |
walk, go to a church, there will
always be a service on and it is a | 1:22:35 | 1:22:39 | |
great time to do something in your
community, like go to church and get | 1:22:39 | 1:22:46 | |
out and do something spiritual,
whatever it means that you, to bring | 1:22:46 | 1:22:51 | |
light into darkness and to have a
moment of something that is bigger | 1:22:51 | 1:22:54 | |
than the pressures that we all feel
at Christmas. We have had an e-mail | 1:22:54 | 1:22:59 | |
in from a viewer that said they are
spending Christmas alone so they | 1:22:59 | 1:23:03 | |
have decided to make Julian Reister
and go out and help homeless people. | 1:23:03 | 1:23:07 | |
That's nice, isn't it. That is a
brilliant thing to do, | 1:23:07 | 1:23:11 | |
psychologically, the minute you
reach out to somebody else you feel | 1:23:11 | 1:23:14 | |
better, and I think a lot of
mistakes that people make is waiting | 1:23:14 | 1:23:18 | |
to something to happen to them,
passively. Anything you do, smile at | 1:23:18 | 1:23:22 | |
a neighbour, there may be other
neighbours in your area that are | 1:23:22 | 1:23:26 | |
alone today, just go to a local shop
and say hello, just something we | 1:23:26 | 1:23:32 | |
make some contact, one phone call to
one person, even an e-mail to one | 1:23:32 | 1:23:36 | |
person. Just some contact will
change the biochemistry in your | 1:23:36 | 1:23:41 | |
brain and make you feel better. So
many, Christmas is a time when you | 1:23:41 | 1:23:45 | |
remember loved ones who are no
longer with us, and it is important | 1:23:45 | 1:23:49 | |
to have space for that, to bring at
the photos and have space to be sat | 1:23:49 | 1:23:53 | |
on Christmas Day. There is not a
love opportunity to do that, there | 1:23:53 | 1:23:57 | |
is all this pressure to have the
best day of the year. But we have | 1:23:57 | 1:24:01 | |
two allow space for the full range
of emotions and however we are | 1:24:01 | 1:24:06 | |
feeling, and to talk to people, to
go online, talk to Samaritans who | 1:24:06 | 1:24:09 | |
are always available. That's a great
point, they are their 24/7, you can | 1:24:09 | 1:24:15 | |
phone them any time, there is no
shame in picking up the phone and | 1:24:15 | 1:24:19 | |
talking to Samaritans. The other
thing is, today is a day of mixed | 1:24:19 | 1:24:23 | |
feelings, because there is so much
pressure on it being perfect, we | 1:24:23 | 1:24:27 | |
have great expectations of the
perfect day, there is nothing worse | 1:24:27 | 1:24:31 | |
than that actually, and if you have
ups and downs, or you are recently | 1:24:31 | 1:24:36 | |
divorced or separated, you have lost
somebody you love, you are not | 1:24:36 | 1:24:39 | |
feeling very well, the real, just
give yourself space, go outside, go | 1:24:39 | 1:24:44 | |
to bed a moment to give yourself a
bit of breathing space. Really good | 1:24:44 | 1:24:49 | |
advice. At the other end of this is
the pressure when you have a house | 1:24:49 | 1:24:53 | |
full of people, and Helen as you
keep things calm, -- how on earth. | 1:24:53 | 1:25:01 | |
How do you feel about that? It is
that feeling, when you have people | 1:25:01 | 1:25:06 | |
in your home, it is about the right
things, the things they like, the | 1:25:06 | 1:25:15 | |
food they enjoy, the party games
they want to do, don't force us upon | 1:25:15 | 1:25:19 | |
them. You have to be a bit relaxed
if they don't want to do that thing | 1:25:19 | 1:25:23 | |
that you want to do, if they don't
want to watch the Queen 's speech, | 1:25:23 | 1:25:27 | |
that's fine. As a guest you have to
be considerate of the host and | 1:25:27 | 1:25:31 | |
assist them and help them and make
sure you are a good guess. What | 1:25:31 | 1:25:35 | |
about when to leave, you are like,
are they actually going to leave? | 1:25:35 | 1:25:40 | |
You don't want to overstate your
welcome, you have people coming for | 1:25:40 | 1:25:44 | |
lunch and they are there three days
later. You want to have a timeframe | 1:25:44 | 1:25:48 | |
as to when to go. As a guest, so you
are invited to lunch, safer a few | 1:25:48 | 1:25:53 | |
hours, have lunch, have a copy,
maybe some chocolate at the end, -- | 1:25:53 | 1:25:59 | |
Coffey. But you don't want to be
there in the evening, unless the | 1:25:59 | 1:26:05 | |
host offers that. It is not polite
to be sitting there and enjoying the | 1:26:05 | 1:26:09 | |
host hospitality when the other
things they need to be doing. It is | 1:26:09 | 1:26:12 | |
often a time when families come
together, and sometimes that is the | 1:26:12 | 1:26:16 | |
only time the families come together
is at Christmas, so there are | 1:26:16 | 1:26:20 | |
probably lots of things that aren't
set at Christmas because people, | 1:26:20 | 1:26:23 | |
like Sally was saying, you want the
pressure of having the perfect day. | 1:26:23 | 1:26:27 | |
It can be an explosive cocktail
because we have such a range of | 1:26:27 | 1:26:31 | |
family now, we might have exes,
stepchildren, sort of complicated | 1:26:31 | 1:26:35 | |
relationships. If we are all in a
little colder and at Christmas, it | 1:26:35 | 1:26:41 | |
can be very explosive. It is very
difficult for us as British people | 1:26:41 | 1:26:46 | |
to say no or to define ourselves and
to have boundaries. If you do have | 1:26:46 | 1:26:52 | |
people around, you can say, you are
welcome from six to eight, and be | 1:26:52 | 1:26:56 | |
clear about your boundaries. When we
go beyond our boundaries is when we | 1:26:56 | 1:27:00 | |
have too much, we have too much wine
or sherry and that we might have too | 1:27:00 | 1:27:05 | |
much of each other. Try and keep it
limited, and if you have that | 1:27:05 | 1:27:09 | |
difficult relative -- difficult
relative who is hanging around at | 1:27:09 | 1:27:12 | |
the end of the table, try and limit
them, treat them politely but have | 1:27:12 | 1:27:17 | |
your boundaries. Getting out of the
house, going for a family Christmas | 1:27:17 | 1:27:21 | |
walk can clear the air, reduce the
pressure, give people a chance to do | 1:27:21 | 1:27:26 | |
more than one thing, rather than
just sit around chatting or playing | 1:27:26 | 1:27:29 | |
a board game, one of my top tips is
jigsaw puzzles, getting out of | 1:27:29 | 1:27:34 | |
jigsaw puzzle. Introverts find it
incredibly difficult at Christmas. | 1:27:34 | 1:27:40 | |
Because actually you are having to
sit around chatting, which is the | 1:27:40 | 1:27:43 | |
worst thing in the world. If you are
the host, if you are feeling under | 1:27:43 | 1:27:48 | |
pressure to talk to a lot of people,
women in particular are not looking | 1:27:48 | 1:27:52 | |
forward to this, it is going to be
too much, you have to take yourself | 1:27:52 | 1:27:57 | |
out, just to have a breather, go
into the garden to five minutes, | 1:27:57 | 1:28:00 | |
look at your plants, just look at
the sky, talk to a pet, anything. A | 1:28:00 | 1:28:06 | |
pet goldfish is a great one to
listen. But just get it off your | 1:28:06 | 1:28:10 | |
chest, to whatever is around you,
talk to the Christmas tree, and just | 1:28:10 | 1:28:15 | |
say, I have had enough... I often
talk to my Christmas tree! I think | 1:28:15 | 1:28:22 | |
Christmas is this mix of three
different festivals, we have the | 1:28:22 | 1:28:26 | |
pagan Yuletide festival which is
about light and darkness, we have | 1:28:26 | 1:28:31 | |
the Victorian family focused,
children focused Christmas which is | 1:28:31 | 1:28:34 | |
about having a perfect wonderful
feast, and then there is a sort of | 1:28:34 | 1:28:38 | |
religious element as well, about
helping the poor and God coming down | 1:28:38 | 1:28:41 | |
to be with us, and the solidarity of
God with everyday people. I find it | 1:28:41 | 1:28:47 | |
really helpful to jump between those
three different aspect, and having | 1:28:47 | 1:28:51 | |
space when the family pressures get
too much, to jump into something | 1:28:51 | 1:28:55 | |
more spiritual, and when the
spiritual stuff is too much, to have | 1:28:55 | 1:28:59 | |
some fun and enjoy the magic of
children and Santa Claus and watch | 1:28:59 | 1:29:02 | |
TV, I don't have children myself am,
and there are some wonderful things | 1:29:02 | 1:29:11 | |
on television this year. And have a
bit of space, just some quiet. If | 1:29:11 | 1:29:16 | |
you are a person is to get away from
everyone, have five minutes on your | 1:29:16 | 1:29:20 | |
own, even in the loo is a great
moment, to just say, and already, I | 1:29:20 | 1:29:25 | |
just need some space. Grant, a
little bit later, I want to ask you | 1:29:25 | 1:29:30 | |
about some things not to do, and you
are going to bring your dogs into | 1:29:30 | 1:29:35 | |
the studio! The three dogs are with
me, one is only six-month-old, it is | 1:29:35 | 1:29:43 | |
her first Christmas, she is very
confused about all the celebrations. | 1:29:43 | 1:29:47 | |
Over, I just heard her! I will be
bringing them on later. There are | 1:29:47 | 1:29:54 | |
probably lots of questions that
people have about pets at Christmas. | 1:29:54 | 1:29:58 | |

Hello, this is Breakfast,
with Steph McGovern. | 1:31:00 | 1:31:02 | |
Good morning. | 1:31:02 | 1:31:05 | |
Here is a summary of today's main
stories from BBC News: | 1:31:05 | 1:31:09 | |
The Queen will pay tribute
to the cities of Manchester | 1:31:09 | 1:31:11 | |
and London, in her Christmas Day
broadcast, for the way | 1:31:11 | 1:31:14 | |
in which they dealt with this
year's terrorist attacks. | 1:31:14 | 1:31:16 | |
Her message was recorded
at Buckingham Palace. | 1:31:16 | 1:31:18 | |
She is now at her estate
at Sandringham, in Norfolk, | 1:31:18 | 1:31:21 | |
with other members of the royal
family including Prince Harry | 1:31:21 | 1:31:24 | |
and his fiancee, Meghan Markle. | 1:31:24 | 1:31:33 | |
Pope Francis has used his
Christmas Eve Mass to urge the world | 1:31:33 | 1:31:36 | |
not to ignore the plight
of millions of migrants. | 1:31:36 | 1:31:39 | |
The Pontiff compared
them to Mary and Joseph, | 1:31:39 | 1:31:41 | |
recounting the Biblical story of how
they had to travel from Nazareth | 1:31:41 | 1:31:44 | |
to Bethlehem, but found
no place to stay. | 1:31:44 | 1:31:46 | |
He said many migrants
were being forced to flee | 1:31:46 | 1:31:49 | |
from leaders who see no problem
in shedding innocent blood. | 1:31:49 | 1:31:53 | |
At the Church of the Nativity,
in Bethlehem, midnight Mass took | 1:31:53 | 1:31:55 | |
place against a backdrop
of heightened security. | 1:31:55 | 1:31:57 | |
Fewer pilgrims than usual
are in the city because of increased | 1:31:57 | 1:32:01 | |
tensions between Palestinians
and Israelis, following | 1:32:01 | 1:32:02 | |
President Trump's decision
to recognise Jerusalem | 1:32:02 | 1:32:04 | |
as the capital of Israel. | 1:32:04 | 1:32:15 | |
Guatemala has said it
will follow America's lead, | 1:32:15 | 1:32:17 | |
moving its embassy in
Israel to Jerusalem too. | 1:32:17 | 1:32:20 | |
Guatemalan President Jimmy Morales
said he made the decision | 1:32:20 | 1:32:22 | |
after speaking to Israel's PM,
Benjamin Netanyahu. | 1:32:22 | 1:32:24 | |
Donald Trump had threatened to cut
aid to nations that voted | 1:32:24 | 1:32:27 | |
against the US in a recent
UN vote on the issue. | 1:32:27 | 1:32:42 | |
A British woman being held
in an Egyptian prison for drug | 1:32:42 | 1:32:45 | |
smuggling offences will appear
in court later today. | 1:32:45 | 1:32:47 | |
Laura Plummer was arrested
in October when she was found | 1:32:47 | 1:32:50 | |
with 290 tramadol
tablets in her suitcase. | 1:32:50 | 1:32:52 | |
The painkiller is legal
in the UK, but not in Egypt. | 1:32:52 | 1:32:55 | |
Her family has maintained she wasn't
aware the drug was illegal. | 1:32:55 | 1:32:58 | |
If found guilty, she faces up
to 25 years in prison. | 1:32:58 | 1:33:08 | |
Surrey Police are trying to identify
a man who was found unconscious | 1:33:08 | 1:33:11 | |
in a ditch yesterday afternoon. | 1:33:11 | 1:33:12 | |
They have released pictures
of the man's clothing in an attempt | 1:33:12 | 1:33:15 | |
to track down his family. | 1:33:15 | 1:33:17 | |
The man, who is thought to be
in his 20s, is in a serious | 1:33:17 | 1:33:20 | |
condition in hospital. | 1:33:20 | 1:33:21 | |
Around 150 skiers have been rescued
from a broken-down ski lift | 1:33:21 | 1:33:24 | |
in the French Alps,
after being trapped on it | 1:33:24 | 1:33:27 | |
for several hours on Christmas Eve. | 1:33:27 | 1:33:28 | |
Helicopters were used to rescue
the people from their individual | 1:33:28 | 1:33:31 | |
gondolas, which were around 82
feet above the snow, | 1:33:31 | 1:33:34 | |
and rope was used to help the skiers
get back down the slopes. | 1:33:34 | 1:33:37 | |
The cause of the fault isn't known. | 1:33:37 | 1:33:51 | |
When you think of Christmas
traditions, radishes might not be | 1:33:51 | 1:33:57 | |
the first thing you think of, unless
you live in the Mexican region of | 1:33:57 | 1:34:01 | |
Oaxaca. Every Christmas thousands of
people come together to carve a | 1:34:01 | 1:34:05 | |
nativity scene out of radishes. The
customers now in its 120th year, and | 1:34:05 | 1:34:10 | |
started when vegetable vendor is
adorned their stalls with carvings | 1:34:10 | 1:34:14 | |
to show off their wares. They are
quite impressive, actually. I didn't | 1:34:14 | 1:34:18 | |
realise you could do that much with
a radish. Look at the hair on that. | 1:34:18 | 1:34:23 | |
And you can't beat a carrot Tash. | 1:34:23 | 1:34:30 | |
It might be deepest winter at home,
but England's cricketers will step | 1:34:30 | 1:34:33 | |
out into the summer sunshine
in Australia later today | 1:34:33 | 1:34:36 | |
for the first session
of the next Ashes Test. | 1:34:36 | 1:34:38 | |
They have already lost the series,
but organisers expect a sell-out | 1:34:38 | 1:34:41 | |
at the Melbourne Cricket Ground,
as they try to rescue some pride. | 1:34:41 | 1:34:44 | |
Patrick Gearey reports. | 1:34:44 | 1:34:50 | |
The Ashes gone, and still they come.
There is a reason England's fans are | 1:34:50 | 1:34:55 | |
called the Barmy Army. When they are
not watching cricket they are | 1:34:55 | 1:35:00 | |
playing it, and they have called up
Mr Root to their team, not the | 1:35:00 | 1:35:03 | |
England captain, but his brother
really, a professional himself who | 1:35:03 | 1:35:07 | |
has had to wash his country lose the
urn alongside everyone else. He is | 1:35:07 | 1:35:15 | |
frustrated, but I think it is the
sort of thing he will enjoy taking | 1:35:15 | 1:35:19 | |
on, a tough challenge like this.
Challenge is an understatement. | 1:35:19 | 1:35:22 | |
Comment and criticism comes with
cricket in Australia. Rude has had | 1:35:22 | 1:35:27 | |
to watch the Ashes go, and he his
captaincy be described as soft and | 1:35:27 | 1:35:34 | |
childlike by Ricky Ponting -- Root.
He doesn't spend much time in our | 1:35:34 | 1:35:42 | |
dressing room. I don't think you
should try and be something you are | 1:35:42 | 1:35:45 | |
not. Now he keep takes his team into
a Test like no other. It is a | 1:35:45 | 1:35:51 | |
national occasion, not just a
sporting one. Australian values of | 1:35:51 | 1:35:55 | |
history and competition mean there
will be no going easy on England. | 1:35:55 | 1:36:00 | |
This is the home to the most raucous
supporters in cricket and they will | 1:36:00 | 1:36:05 | |
be reminding whichever poor English
fielder who has the misfortune of | 1:36:05 | 1:36:09 | |
being posted there them exactly what
the score is in the series, and | 1:36:09 | 1:36:12 | |
exactly how bad it could get. Words
can't hurt England, but runs do. | 1:36:12 | 1:36:16 | |
Steve Smith provides them and the
Aussie captain will play despite | 1:36:16 | 1:36:20 | |
injuring his hand in training. Ashes
series can numb as well is a | 1:36:20 | 1:36:25 | |
conflict pain. It has been a good
summer so far. Obviously won back | 1:36:25 | 1:36:29 | |
the urn, which was the objective at
the start of the series, and we have | 1:36:29 | 1:36:33 | |
now got an opportunity to keep
winning. That has been the message | 1:36:33 | 1:36:37 | |
to the boys. Don't worry about 5-0
at this stage, they have to win this | 1:36:37 | 1:36:42 | |
one first. Even on Christmas
morning, even with the series | 1:36:42 | 1:36:46 | |
decided, they come to watch practice
in Melbourne. Or the 90,000 will be | 1:36:46 | 1:36:50 | |
here on Boxing Day to pick over the
Ashes leftovers. -- more than | 1:36:50 | 1:36:54 | |
90,000. | 1:36:54 | 1:36:55 | |
As part of our BBC Sing series,
we presenters were set a challenge. | 1:36:55 | 1:36:59 | |
Could we pull off a live performance
at Manchester's Bridgewater Hall, | 1:36:59 | 1:37:02 | |
singing in front of more than 1,000
people, with only eight hours | 1:37:02 | 1:37:05 | |
to learn our lines? | 1:37:05 | 1:37:06 | |
How did we get on? | 1:37:06 | 1:37:07 | |
Let's have a look. | 1:37:07 | 1:37:21 | |
I feel like I should put out a
warning, if you are somebody who | 1:37:21 | 1:37:25 | |
struggles with terrible noise, this
is not a film to listen to. | 1:37:25 | 1:37:29 | |
DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS. | 1:37:29 | 1:37:34 | |
Six Breakfast television
presenters... | 1:37:34 | 1:37:40 | |
..at Manchester's Bridgewater Hall. | 1:37:40 | 1:37:43 | |
Their challenge, to learn
a Christmas classic. | 1:37:43 | 1:37:46 | |
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire. | 1:37:46 | 1:37:48 | |
APPLAUSE. | 1:37:48 | 1:37:53 | |
And sing to a full house
of more than 1000 people. | 1:37:53 | 1:37:56 | |
That's a lot of people whose ears
could be potentially bleeding | 1:37:56 | 1:37:59 | |
by the end of this. | 1:37:59 | 1:38:02 | |
Presenters will perform
with the gospel choir, | 1:38:02 | 1:38:04 | |
Manchester Inspirational Voices. | 1:38:04 | 1:38:09 | |
But will they remember the words? | 1:38:09 | 1:38:11 | |
# Lots of toys and... | 1:38:11 | 1:38:12 | |
(LAUGHS). | 1:38:12 | 1:38:17 | |
Will they remember the tune? | 1:38:17 | 1:38:18 | |
I literally don't even
know how it should be. | 1:38:18 | 1:38:21 | |
The challenge is on. | 1:38:21 | 1:38:24 | |
I am shaking. | 1:38:24 | 1:38:36 | |
# Chestnuts roasting on an open
fire...# | 1:38:36 | 1:38:45 | |
The Bridgewater Hall
is sold out. | 1:38:45 | 1:38:47 | |
In the audience, to give
much-needed support, | 1:38:47 | 1:38:48 | |
Sean, and Louisa 's husband. | 1:38:48 | 1:38:50 | |
They have never sang before,
individually or as a choir, | 1:38:50 | 1:38:54 | |
and they have learned it in one day. | 1:38:54 | 1:38:57 | |
Wow. | 1:38:57 | 1:39:01 | |
Hopefully they have learned
the words and I'm sure | 1:39:01 | 1:39:04 | |
they will do well. | 1:39:04 | 1:39:05 | |
I'm a big fan of Dan,
so I am looking forward | 1:39:05 | 1:39:08 | |
to seeing his performance. | 1:39:08 | 1:39:09 | |
Good luck, do well, breathe before
you do it and just have a good time. | 1:39:09 | 1:39:16 | |
Presenters will need
all the help they can get. | 1:39:16 | 1:39:21 | |
They have had just a couple
of hours to learn, rehearse | 1:39:21 | 1:39:24 | |
and perfect the song. | 1:39:24 | 1:39:34 | |
I have no idea what I am singing. | 1:39:34 | 1:39:36 | |
Louise is worried. | 1:39:36 | 1:39:37 | |
The words keep going out
of my brain, it is two lines, | 1:39:37 | 1:39:40 | |
it is ridiculous and embarrassing. | 1:39:40 | 1:39:42 | |
There you go! | 1:39:42 | 1:39:48 | |
APPLAUSE. | 1:39:48 | 1:39:48 | |
Guiding our presenters,
the remarkably patient leader | 1:39:48 | 1:39:50 | |
of Manchester inspirational
voices, Wayne Ellington. | 1:39:50 | 1:39:51 | |
You do bring a real sense of joy
into what you are doing. | 1:39:51 | 1:39:55 | |
He has this great way of making
you feel like you are Diana Ross... | 1:39:55 | 1:39:59 | |
# And every mother 's child
is going to start... | 1:39:59 | 1:40:01 | |
..When you clearly are not,
when you are a dying cat. | 1:40:01 | 1:40:07 | |
He is an amazingly optimistic man. | 1:40:07 | 1:40:08 | |
Because he sees talent
where we are not seeing talent. | 1:40:08 | 1:40:16 | |
# Merry Christmas... | 1:40:16 | 1:40:26 | |
Merry Christmas...#. | 1:40:26 | 1:40:29 | |
LAUGHS. | 1:40:29 | 1:40:32 | |
Wayne has been an absolute wizard. | 1:40:32 | 1:40:34 | |
A magician. | 1:40:34 | 1:40:39 | |
# Every mother 's child
is going to spy... | 1:40:39 | 1:40:42 | |
Take Wayne out of the equation,
where all in trouble. | 1:40:42 | 1:40:47 | |
# Joy to the world...#. | 1:40:47 | 1:40:49 | |
The concert has started,
Wayne and his choir bringing joy | 1:40:49 | 1:40:51 | |
to the world. | 1:40:51 | 1:40:56 | |
Meanwhile, backstage... | 1:40:56 | 1:40:57 | |
Apparently my trousers are gone. | 1:40:57 | 1:40:58 | |
# And every mother 's child
is going to spy...#. | 1:40:58 | 1:41:09 | |
This is the suit and he has
put my trousers on and walked out. | 1:41:09 | 1:41:13 | |
It sounds awful, doesn't it. | 1:41:13 | 1:41:24 | |
# They know that
Santa's on his way...#. | 1:41:24 | 1:41:27 | |
Charlie, do you want
to borrow my dress? | 1:41:27 | 1:41:29 | |
# Lots of toys and goodies
on his sleigh...#. | 1:41:29 | 1:41:31 | |
My trousers, do you randomly pick up
other people's trousers? | 1:41:31 | 1:41:43 | |
That's enough, we need
to get ready, goodbye. | 1:41:43 | 1:41:45 | |
With just minutes to go,
Wayne gathers the presenters | 1:41:45 | 1:41:48 | |
for a final pep talk. | 1:41:48 | 1:41:49 | |
Should anything go out of place,
any notes or anything like that, | 1:41:49 | 1:41:52 | |
you just have to tighten up,
keep your eyes on me. | 1:41:52 | 1:41:55 | |
I'm hoping that they are going
to feel comfortable and just be OK. | 1:41:55 | 1:41:59 | |
I just hope! | 1:41:59 | 1:42:01 | |
BBC Sing! | 1:42:01 | 1:42:02 | |
We will see what happens. | 1:42:02 | 1:42:03 | |
Why did we agree to this? | 1:42:03 | 1:42:05 | |
It gives me great pleasure
to announce our special guests, | 1:42:05 | 1:42:08 | |
the BBC presenters, Naga Muchetty,
Mike Bushell, Louise | 1:42:08 | 1:42:10 | |

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE). | 1:46:19 | 1:46:31 | |
Didn't she do well! | 1:46:31 | 1:46:36 | |
She did brilliant, I am so proud. | 1:46:36 | 1:46:38 | |
Absolutely fantastic. | 1:46:38 | 1:46:42 | |
Uplifting, gets you right here. | 1:46:42 | 1:46:44 | |
APPLAUSE. | 1:46:44 | 1:46:49 | |
They were brilliant,
they were up for a laugh, | 1:46:49 | 1:46:52 | |
that's the main thing,
that's what you do at Christmas. | 1:46:52 | 1:46:56 | |
They were so brave to do it! | 1:46:56 | 1:46:59 | |
They really went for it. | 1:46:59 | 1:47:02 | |
I really thought
they did brilliantly. | 1:47:02 | 1:47:05 | |
Got away with it! | 1:47:05 | 1:47:06 | |
Got away with it! | 1:47:06 | 1:47:12 | |
They were so kind to us! | 1:47:12 | 1:47:13 | |
I'm going to give the
audience ten out of ten. | 1:47:13 | 1:47:31 | |
that song ever again. Sorry if
anyone was offended by that. | 1:47:44 | 1:47:45 | |
Terrible singing but it is fair to
say, not everyone did like our | 1:47:45 | 1:47:52 | |
singing, one viewer sent in this
picture of her two dogs, who heard | 1:47:52 | 1:47:59 | |
our rehearsals who ran behind their
beds to hide. Think if that, I agree | 1:47:59 | 1:48:06 | |
with you. -- thank you for that.
Philip I am sure you have a | 1:48:06 | 1:48:16 | |
wonderful singing voice but could
not be there. | 1:48:16 | 1:48:22 | |
I used to think I did a good duet
with George Michael when I was | 1:48:22 | 1:48:27 | |
driving in the country, and we were
pretty good together, to an audience | 1:48:27 | 1:48:32 | |
of zero. Give us a line before you
go? | 1:48:32 | 1:48:38 | |
I couldn't possibly.
Moving swiftly on, you are very | 1:48:38 | 1:48:45 | |
brave to do it, as the woman said.
Christmassy, isn't it? Not really if | 1:48:45 | 1:48:52 | |
you look at the window. The Weather
Watcher pictures are coming in, and | 1:48:52 | 1:48:58 | |
that is one of the finest pylons in
the spirit of Christmas are have | 1:48:58 | 1:49:01 | |
ever seen, probably supplying the
house in Stevenage. If you are | 1:49:01 | 1:49:06 | |
travelling this | 1:49:06 | 1:49:09 | |
house in Stevenage. If you are
travelling this morning, the weather | 1:49:09 | 1:49:10 | |
will not getting your way, that is
the real bonus of what we have had | 1:49:10 | 1:49:14 | |
over the past few days. Sunshine is
in short supply. We are getting this | 1:49:14 | 1:49:19 | |
mild southerly and south-westerly
wind across the greater part of | 1:49:19 | 1:49:22 | |
England and Wales. That sunshine is
in short supply, if you are new this | 1:49:22 | 1:49:26 | |
frontal system, that is a lot of
cloud in wind and rain, which will | 1:49:26 | 1:49:30 | |
eventually sweep across many parts
of England and Wales, and you will | 1:49:30 | 1:49:33 | |
know when that has arrived. They had
a bit if you are on the move, it is | 1:49:33 | 1:49:38 | |
mild and is where we have been for
the past few days. Write me that | 1:49:38 | 1:49:42 | |
weather front, a lot of rain,
especially over higher ground in the | 1:49:42 | 1:49:45 | |
northern parts of England and
Scotland and Ireland. North of it, | 1:49:45 | 1:49:48 | |
it's not double figures. Four, five,
six degrees for all parts of the | 1:49:48 | 1:49:54 | |
British Isles. As we get towards
Boxing Day, that weather front is | 1:49:54 | 1:49:59 | |
coming through, you will know when
that one has gone through. Behind | 1:49:59 | 1:50:04 | |
it, much cooler air, turning showers
wintry, especially on the high | 1:50:04 | 1:50:08 | |
ground, if you are looking for a
white Christmas, this is not quite | 1:50:08 | 1:50:12 | |
the one for you. There will be a
device first thing, a chilly start, | 1:50:12 | 1:50:16 | |
but if you are thinking about Boxing
Day sporting fixtures, that is a | 1:50:16 | 1:50:21 | |
decent day, it will not stop you
getting anywhere though there will | 1:50:21 | 1:50:24 | |
be some wintry showers into higher
ground in the north of Scotland, | 1:50:24 | 1:50:28 | |
some showers elsewhere, a much
brighter day but much fresher as | 1:50:28 | 1:50:31 | |
well, 3- eight Celsius, rather than
the 10- 12 that many are enjoying | 1:50:31 | 1:50:37 | |
today. Then a lot more cloud, wind
and rain moving across the southern | 1:50:37 | 1:50:44 | |
half of Britain, and then on its
northern flank, cold air coming in | 1:50:44 | 1:50:48 | |
from the north, following these
isobars all the way through the | 1:50:48 | 1:50:50 | |
northern parts of Norway right down
towards this massive piece of | 1:50:50 | 1:50:54 | |
moisture, it is going to convert
some of that rain to snow. The peaks | 1:50:54 | 1:51:02 | |
and the Pennines coming down towards
the high ground of Wiltshire and | 1:51:02 | 1:51:05 | |
eventually to the Chilterns and it
is 3-6. If you have a hat, scarf and | 1:51:05 | 1:51:11 | |
gloves were Christmas, you will need
it by Wednesday. Thank you Phil, I | 1:51:11 | 1:51:17 | |
still can't get over the fact that
you take your family to the BBC | 1:51:17 | 1:51:21 | |
canteen to Christmas dinner. It is a
family tradition of this time of | 1:51:21 | 1:51:25 | |
year, and it is one of the cheaper
options. Our very own Scrooge, thank | 1:51:25 | 1:51:29 | |
you. | 1:51:29 | 1:51:30 | |
If you'll be spending today relaxing
and watching Christmas films, | 1:51:30 | 1:51:35 | |
I'm sure there are lots of people
who are. | 1:51:35 | 1:51:39 | |
But spare a thought
for all those people out | 1:51:39 | 1:51:41 | |
there who are having to work. | 1:51:41 | 1:51:44 | |
Let's speak to one of them now - | 1:51:44 | 1:51:49 | |
We can speak to Nick McLeod. | 1:51:49 | 1:51:55 | |
He's also working today. | 1:51:55 | 1:51:56 | |
But somewhere very different -
at the Gannet Offshore oil rig | 1:51:56 | 1:51:59 | |
in the North Sea. | 1:51:59 | 1:52:00 | |
How are things going out there? Good
morning, things are steady, the | 1:52:00 | 1:52:05 | |
weather is quite nice, we have a
supply boat alongside, and all the | 1:52:05 | 1:52:09 | |
crew are in the festive spirit, you
can see some behind me. I have been | 1:52:09 | 1:52:14 | |
out to that rigged before with you
guys and you have quite the canteen, | 1:52:14 | 1:52:18 | |
so I am expecting you will have a
good dinner at least? We do indeed. | 1:52:18 | 1:52:22 | |
This is a time of year when the
catering crew have their busiest day | 1:52:22 | 1:52:26 | |
and really put on a great spread us,
we have lots of prawns and salmon to | 1:52:26 | 1:52:32 | |
start with and Turkey and venison,
so everyone is looking forward to | 1:52:32 | 1:52:36 | |
it. Tell us a bit about what your
job involves, it is about supplying | 1:52:36 | 1:52:41 | |
oil, but day-to-day, what are you
all doing? So on-board at the moment | 1:52:41 | 1:52:47 | |
we have 71 people, and the platform
produces oil and gas, about 35,000 | 1:52:47 | 1:52:55 | |
barrels a day that we produce, and
we continue to produce that today. | 1:52:55 | 1:52:59 | |
We have the catering team to
maintenance and operations team, and | 1:52:59 | 1:53:04 | |
the vast majority will continue to
work through the day, although we | 1:53:04 | 1:53:07 | |
will have some time off this
afternoon to relax a and enjoy | 1:53:07 | 1:53:11 | |
Christmas a little bit. What about
being away from your family, I know | 1:53:11 | 1:53:14 | |
quite a few guys who are out on the
rigs and it can be quite tough at | 1:53:14 | 1:53:22 | |
this time of year. It sure is, it is
an opportunity to say thank you to | 1:53:22 | 1:53:27 | |
everyone at home who supports the
guys out here, it can be tough being | 1:53:27 | 1:53:32 | |
away, technology helps now, so
things like Skype on Facebook take | 1:53:32 | 1:53:35 | |
it easier to see the kids unwrapping
presents, but it is part of the job, | 1:53:35 | 1:53:40 | |
most guys I used to it and the vast
majority get into the spirit adhere, | 1:53:40 | 1:53:45 | |
and look forward to having Christmas
when they go home before they come | 1:53:45 | 1:53:48 | |
out. Has centre managed to -- has
Santa Claus managed to land his way | 1:53:48 | 1:53:55 | |
on the helipad? The night it did say
there was some strange noises on the | 1:53:55 | 1:54:00 | |
helipad, and we have received a big
parcel of gifts, so everyone on | 1:54:00 | 1:54:04 | |
board, the welfare committee wrote a
letter to Santa Claus about a month | 1:54:04 | 1:54:10 | |
ago, so later this evening after we
have eaten there will be some | 1:54:10 | 1:54:14 | |
giftgiving for all the team out
here. Next, thank you for talking to | 1:54:14 | 1:54:18 | |
us and Merry Christmas to you and
all of your fellow workers at on the | 1:54:18 | 1:54:22 | |
rig | 1:54:22 | 1:54:25 | |
all of your fellow workers at on the
rig. Now we will go to Mark Pilgrim | 1:54:25 | 1:54:30 | |
who was also working today at the
elephant enclosure in Chester zoo. | 1:54:30 | 1:54:34 | |
Very Christmas to you, how are
things there? Things are good this | 1:54:34 | 1:54:40 | |
morning, the staff are starting to
arrive, to do the usual tasks of | 1:54:40 | 1:54:44 | |
looking after the animals. Is
Christmas Day different for you guys | 1:54:44 | 1:54:48 | |
or is it still the same type of
stuff? It is a bit special, | 1:54:48 | 1:54:52 | |
Christmas is always a | 1:54:52 | 1:54:53 | |
stuff? It is a bit special,
Christmas is always a bit special, | 1:54:53 | 1:54:54 | |
there is no business in the zoo
today, so it means that we | 1:54:54 | 1:54:57 | |
there is no business in the zoo
today, so it means that we can get | 1:54:57 | 1:54:58 | |
the jobs done have a little more
easily, and it always feels a little | 1:54:58 | 1:55:02 | |
bit special on Christmas morning to
come in and it is the same for the | 1:55:02 | 1:55:07 | |
animals, it is routine as normal for
them, to spend a day with their | 1:55:07 | 1:55:11 | |
families, but for us it is a little
bit friend, with no public here. We | 1:55:11 | 1:55:15 | |
are looking at some pictures now of
the elephants there, can you tell us | 1:55:15 | 1:55:19 | |
who you have behind you as well? It
is quite hard over my shoulder, I | 1:55:19 | 1:55:29 | |
suspect Mya is one of the elephants
behind me, the calves have been out | 1:55:29 | 1:55:33 | |
this morning, we have three calves,
they have been moving around trying | 1:55:33 | 1:55:44 | |
to muscle in on the he feed as well.
Do they get any special Christmas | 1:55:44 | 1:55:50 | |
treats? Not particularly, I think
that Christmas is really a time, a | 1:55:50 | 1:55:56 | |
family time, and one of the
important things about family -- | 1:55:56 | 1:56:01 | |
about elephants is that they are
family-oriented. They spend every | 1:56:01 | 1:56:04 | |
single day with their families, so
in our herd for example we have the | 1:56:04 | 1:56:09 | |
grandmother, her two daughters are
here, and her three grandchildren, | 1:56:09 | 1:56:14 | |
so actually it is a real family day
for the elephants at Chester zoo. | 1:56:14 | 1:56:18 | |
Thank you so much, Mark, I imagine
your arm is pretty tired from | 1:56:18 | 1:56:23 | |
holding up the phone, have a
wonderful Christmas and say Merry | 1:56:23 | 1:56:27 | |
Christmas to everyone who is working
with you today. Thank you, and Merry | 1:56:27 | 1:56:32 | |
Christmas to everybody from us here
at Chester zoo. Wonderful. We are | 1:56:32 | 1:56:38 | |
now going to talk strictly come
dancing. | 1:56:38 | 1:56:41 | |
Joe McFadden might have been crowned
this year's Strictly Come Dancing | 1:56:41 | 1:56:44 | |
champion, but today it's the turn
of former contestants | 1:56:44 | 1:56:47 | |
to waltz their way onto the dance
floor for the Strictly Christmas | 1:56:47 | 1:56:50 | |
special. | 1:56:50 | 1:56:50 | |
Tim Muffett caught up
with the dancers and celebrities | 1:56:50 | 1:56:52 | |
in rehearsals. | 1:56:52 | 1:56:57 | |
They have got me doing to Viennese
waltz, which is lovely. It | 1:57:01 | 1:57:05 | |
They have got me doing to Viennese
waltz, which is lovely. It is nice | 1:57:05 | 1:57:06 | |
that she finally has a decent
partner... That was about 45 | 1:57:06 | 1:57:10 | |
seconds! A bit of a royal theme this
year, you have been to Buckingham | 1:57:10 | 1:57:16 | |
Palace, and had a photo with the
Duchess of Cornwall. You had a dance | 1:57:16 | 1:57:21 | |
with her! I did, she is a very close
friend of Craig, shows she says. | 1:57:21 | 1:57:28 | |
Everyone says strictly changes your
life, have you been dancing since | 1:57:28 | 1:57:31 | |
then? It does... This is now my
life. | 1:57:31 | 1:57:38 | |
We are just watching it back now to
see if there are any tiny | 1:57:42 | 1:57:46 | |
improvements we could make,...
Compared to Brian Conley, Howard | 1:57:46 | 1:57:53 | |
does he rate? They are two different
styles of dancers, so it would be | 1:57:53 | 1:57:58 | |
unfair of me to compare. I love you
Brian, I love you, and. -- I love | 1:57:58 | 1:58:03 | |
you Colin. What are you doing here?
We are doing a jive, it is a jive | 1:58:03 | 1:58:16 | |
for Colin, for me it is just running
around. Before I used to just listen | 1:58:16 | 1:58:22 | |
to music, now I know that you do a
foxtrot to this, oh you do a jive to | 1:58:22 | 1:58:28 | |
this. Do you do that at dinner
parties? I kind of keep it in. What | 1:58:28 | 1:58:33 | |
is it like being back on the
dancefloor? Right now feels OK, when | 1:58:33 | 1:58:38 | |
you hear the announcer, "Kimberley
dancing the jive...", I will be | 1:58:38 | 1:58:44 | |
like... What requests do you get for
the Christmas special? We have | 1:58:44 | 1:58:48 | |
practised reindeer ears, this is a
chine -- shiny reindeer tummy... | 1:58:48 | 1:58:54 | |
This is of a Lou Irving, what is
this? Gold. Jeremy Vine's golden | 1:58:54 | 1:59:00 | |
shoes? They are absolutely huge. It
has a special coating. Wipe down... | 1:59:00 | 1:59:11 | |
After Christmas dinner! I have to
descend from the ceiling on some | 1:59:11 | 1:59:18 | |
sort of start and when I did
Strictly I was never allowed to fly. | 1:59:18 | 1:59:22 | |
They made gold shoes and there may
be no one else who can wear size 12 | 1:59:22 | 1:59:28 | |
shoes in gold. | 1:59:28 | 1:59:35 | |
MUSIC. | 1:59:35 | 1:59:40 | |
# Oh, I wish it could be Christmas
every day... When the bells are... | 1:59:40 | 1:59:45 | |
(LAUGHS) | 1:59:45 | 1:59:45 | |
every day... When the bells are...
(LAUGHS). How different is the | 1:59:45 | 1:59:50 | |
atmosphere on a Christmas special
compared to the highly competitive | 1:59:50 | 1:59:53 | |
live shows, does it feel different?
We get Christmas lunch and there is | 1:59:53 | 1:59:57 | |
a cheese and biscuit party as well,
which we never had. Cheese is not | 1:59:57 | 2:00:02 | |
good for the voice, though, is it?
RU competitive with each other? Not | 2:00:02 | 2:00:07 | |
really. Are they competitive with
each other? (LAUGHS) | 2:00:07 | 2:00:13 | |
really. Are they competitive with
each other? (LAUGHS). APPLAUSE | 2:00:13 | 2:00:17 | |
really. Are they competitive with
each other? (LAUGHS). APPLAUSE. | 2:00:17 | 2:00:20 | |
That looks good, doesn't it?! Stay
with us, headlines coming up. | 2:00:23 | 2:00:30 | |
Hello, this is Breakfast
with Steph McGovern. | 2:00:57 | 2:00:58 | |
The Queen pays tribute to the people
of London and Manchester after this | 2:00:58 | 2:01:01 | |
year's terror attacks. | 2:01:01 | 2:01:03 | |
In her Christmas Day message, | 2:01:03 | 2:01:05 | |
she'll say the cities' "powerful
identities" had "shone | 2:01:05 | 2:01:06 | |
through in the face
of appalling attacks". | 2:01:06 | 2:01:16 | |
And I'm on the Queen's Sandringham
estate in Norfolk, where the Royal | 2:01:17 | 2:01:21 | |
Family have gathered to celebrate
Christmas. And this year, that | 2:01:21 | 2:01:25 | |
includes Prince Harry's fiance,
Meghan Markle. | 2:01:25 | 2:01:28 | |
Good morning. | 2:01:36 | 2:01:36 | |
Merry Christmas! | 2:01:36 | 2:01:38 | |
It's Monday the 25th of December. | 2:01:38 | 2:01:39 | |
Also ahead... | 2:01:39 | 2:01:41 | |
The Pope urges the world not
to ignore the plight of migrants | 2:01:41 | 2:01:44 | |
forced to leave their countries
because of violence. | 2:01:44 | 2:01:48 | |
Christmas isn't all about presents
and turkey dinners. | 2:01:48 | 2:01:50 | |
Over 1 million people
will be working today. | 2:01:50 | 2:01:53 | |
We'll catch up with some of them. | 2:01:53 | 2:02:01 | |
I have no idea what I'm singing!
Louise is worried. She wasn't the | 2:02:01 | 2:02:08 | |
only one! | 2:02:08 | 2:02:11 | |
Six Breakfast presenters
and 1,000-strong audience. | 2:02:11 | 2:02:12 | |
What could possibly go wrong?! | 2:02:12 | 2:02:13 | |
Find out how we got on in our big
singing challenge. | 2:02:13 | 2:02:16 | |
He's the ultimate Christmas jumper. | 2:02:16 | 2:02:18 | |
Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards has
come out of retirement. | 2:02:18 | 2:02:22 | |
He'll be right here
on the sofa to tell us why. | 2:02:22 | 2:02:26 | |
And Phil Avery has the weather. | 2:02:26 | 2:02:33 | |
Merry Christmas, Stronger! Merry
Christmas to you, Steph! This Santa | 2:02:33 | 2:02:39 | |
was spotted in the Leeds yesterday.
I'll be back in a few minutes to | 2:02:39 | 2:02:45 | |
tell you if what appears through
your window today will look equally | 2:02:45 | 2:02:49 | |
as festive. See you in a bit. | 2:02:49 | 2:02:51 | |
Good morning. | 2:02:51 | 2:02:52 | |
First, our main story. | 2:02:52 | 2:02:53 | |
The Queen will pay tribute
to the cities of Manchester | 2:02:53 | 2:02:56 | |
and London in her Christmas Day
broadcast for the way | 2:02:56 | 2:02:58 | |
in which they dealt with this
year's terrorist attacks. | 2:02:58 | 2:03:00 | |
She's at her estate
at Sandringham with other members | 2:03:00 | 2:03:02 | |
of the Royal Family -
including Prince Harry | 2:03:02 | 2:03:04 | |
and his fiancee, Meghan Markle. | 2:03:04 | 2:03:05 | |
Our Royal Correspondent,
Nicholas Witchell, reports. | 2:03:05 | 2:03:12 | |
The Queen recorded this year's
broadcast a few days ago at | 2:03:12 | 2:03:16 | |
Buckingham Palace. Its main theme is
the importance of home, a place she | 2:03:16 | 2:03:20 | |
describes as a source of warmth and
love. Looking back over the events | 2:03:20 | 2:03:26 | |
of 2017, she praises the disease of
London and Manchester. The Queen | 2:03:26 | 2:03:29 | |
visited the victims of the bombing
at the Manchester Arena in which 22 | 2:03:29 | 2:03:34 | |
people died as they left a concert.
She will talk about the powerful | 2:03:34 | 2:03:38 | |
identities of Manchester and London,
which, she says, had shone through | 2:03:38 | 2:03:42 | |
in the face of appalling attacks. On
the table beside her in the | 2:03:42 | 2:03:47 | |
broadcast, alongside pictures of
Prince George and Princess | 2:03:47 | 2:03:50 | |
Charlotte, or two photographs of her
and her husband, one of which was | 2:03:50 | 2:03:53 | |
taken on their wedding day in 1947.
This year, they have celebrated | 2:03:53 | 2:03:59 | |
their seventh year wedding
anniversary, and the Duke of | 2:03:59 | 2:04:01 | |
Edinburgh retired from his separate
programme of engagements -- verse | 2:04:01 | 2:04:06 | |
70th wedding anniversary. The Queen
will praise her husband for his | 2:04:06 | 2:04:10 | |
support, and, as she puts it, for
his unique sense of humour. The | 2:04:10 | 2:04:15 | |
Queen was absent from last year's
risking the state church service at | 2:04:15 | 2:04:19 | |
Sandringham due to a heavy cold. But
there is expected to be a full | 2:04:19 | 2:04:23 | |
turnout of the family at church this
morning. Among the group attending | 2:04:23 | 2:04:27 | |
church will be Prince Harry and his
fiancee, Meghan Markle, who are both | 2:04:27 | 2:04:32 | |
spending Christmas on the
Sandringham estate. It will be the | 2:04:32 | 2:04:35 | |
first time someone who is yet to
marry into the Royal Family will | 2:04:35 | 2:04:41 | |
have joined their Christmas
celebrations. Her presence a | 2:04:41 | 2:04:43 | |
reminder of one of the event to
which the family, forward to in | 2:04:43 | 2:04:46 | |
2018. | 2:04:46 | 2:04:51 | |
The Royal Family will make their
traditional trip to church. Good | 2:04:51 | 2:04:56 | |
morning and Merry Christmas. You
were talking earlier to some of the | 2:04:56 | 2:04:59 | |
well-wishers. Quite a few Americans.
Yes, that's right, Merry Christmas, | 2:04:59 | 2:05:05 | |
Steph. There has been a crowd
gathering here since about 5am in | 2:05:05 | 2:05:09 | |
order to make sure they are in
position to get a good advantage | 2:05:09 | 2:05:12 | |
point for once the Royal Family
begin that walk up to church at | 2:05:12 | 2:05:17 | |
about 10:45am. A fair number of
Americans hoping to get a glimpse of | 2:05:17 | 2:05:21 | |
Meghan Markle. There are couple of
RAF bases nearby, so a large number | 2:05:21 | 2:05:27 | |
of Americans based on them have come
here today in the hope of seeing | 2:05:27 | 2:05:31 | |
another American, Meghan Markle. She
will be here, as we know, alongside | 2:05:31 | 2:05:35 | |
Prince Harry at the church service
this morning. That is a break with | 2:05:35 | 2:05:39 | |
royal protocol, because generally,
if you haven't married yet, you are | 2:05:39 | 2:05:42 | |
not normally invited by the Queen
to, and spent Christmas here. If you | 2:05:42 | 2:05:46 | |
are in there girlfriend or boyfriend
-- if you are a mere girlfriend or | 2:05:46 | 2:05:53 | |
boyfriend, you do not normally get
an invitation. But this year, an | 2:05:53 | 2:05:58 | |
exception has been made for Meghan
Markle, because she is an American, | 2:05:58 | 2:06:02 | |
her immediate family are in
California, and she will be here as | 2:06:02 | 2:06:06 | |
part of the wider Royal Family just
before 11am this morning so quite a | 2:06:06 | 2:06:10 | |
busy day for them. | 2:06:10 | 2:06:11 | |
And the Queen's Christmas Day
broadcast will be on BBC One | 2:06:11 | 2:06:14 | |
at 3pm this afternoon. | 2:06:14 | 2:06:16 | |
Pope Francis has urged the world not
to ignore the plight | 2:06:16 | 2:06:19 | |
of millions of migrants "driven
from their land", | 2:06:19 | 2:06:22 | |
during Christmas Eve Mass. | 2:06:22 | 2:06:25 | |
The pontiff compared
them to Mary and Joseph, | 2:06:25 | 2:06:27 | |
recounting how they had to travel
from Nazareth to Bethlehem | 2:06:27 | 2:06:30 | |
but found no place to stay. | 2:06:30 | 2:06:33 | |
He said many migrants
were being forced to flee | 2:06:33 | 2:06:37 | |
from leaders who "see no problem
in shedding innocent blood". | 2:06:37 | 2:06:40 | |
Meanwhile, services have taken place
across the UK and further afield. | 2:06:40 | 2:06:43 | |
Our Religious Editor,
Martin Bashir, reports. | 2:06:43 | 2:06:48 | |
At Westminster Cathedral,
Cardinal Vincent Nicholls, | 2:06:52 | 2:06:55 | |
leader the Roman Catholic Church
in England and Wales, | 2:06:55 | 2:07:00 | |
framed his Christmas message
as a statement of concern | 2:07:00 | 2:07:02 | |
for the way we tend
to communicate with each other. | 2:07:02 | 2:07:06 | |
He said we often prefer conflict
to dialogue, hostility instead | 2:07:06 | 2:07:08 | |
of a willingness to listen. | 2:07:08 | 2:07:14 | |
It's a manifestation of a kind
of radical individualism, | 2:07:14 | 2:07:18 | |
and while the individual is hugely
important, we have to know | 2:07:18 | 2:07:23 | |
that we are also built
to belong to each other. | 2:07:23 | 2:07:28 | |
We are built to have relationships
and to work and find our best | 2:07:28 | 2:07:31 | |
through relationships. | 2:07:31 | 2:07:36 | |
He went on to say that as we gaze
into a Nativity scene at Christmas, | 2:07:36 | 2:07:40 | |
we find one who can free us
from the choking effects | 2:07:40 | 2:07:42 | |
of disagreement and strife. | 2:07:42 | 2:07:44 | |
Christ himself. | 2:07:44 | 2:07:48 | |
And at the very beginning
of the Christmas narrative | 2:07:48 | 2:07:51 | |
here in Bethlehem, in a land defined
by walls of separation, | 2:07:51 | 2:07:55 | |
a renewed call for reconciliation. | 2:07:55 | 2:08:03 | |
Here in Manger Square,
a midnight service has been held | 2:08:03 | 2:08:08 | |
at the Church of the Nativity,
where the Archbishop of Jerusalem | 2:08:08 | 2:08:10 | |
said that while Jesus was born
in a town under Roman occupation, | 2:08:10 | 2:08:13 | |
he was identified as
the Prince of Peace. | 2:08:13 | 2:08:18 | |

Guatemala has said it
will follow America's lead, | 2:08:21 | 2:08:23 | |
moving its embassy in Israel

Donald Trump had threatened to cut
aid to nations that voted | 2:08:38 | 2:08:41 | |
against the US in a recent UN vote

A British woman being held
in an Egyptian prison for drug | 2:08:44 | 2:08:46 | |
smuggling offences will appear
in court later today. | 2:08:46 | 2:08:48 | |
Laura Plummer was arrested
in October when she was found | 2:08:48 | 2:08:50 | |
with 290 tramadol
tablets in her suitcase. | 2:08:50 | 2:08:53 | |
The painkiller is legal
in the UK, but not in Egypt. | 2:08:53 | 2:08:57 | |
Her family has maintained she wasn't
aware the drug was illegal. | 2:08:57 | 2:09:00 | |
If found guilty, she faces up
to 25 years in prison. | 2:09:00 | 2:09:06 | |
Surrey Police are trying to identify
a man who was found unconscious | 2:09:06 | 2:09:11 | |
in a ditch yesterday afternoon. | 2:09:11 | 2:09:12 | |
They've released pictures
of the man's clothing in an attempt | 2:09:12 | 2:09:15 | |
to track down his family. | 2:09:15 | 2:09:16 | |
The man, who is thought to be
in his 20s, is in a serious | 2:09:16 | 2:09:19 | |
condition in hospital. | 2:09:19 | 2:09:22 | |
Around 150 skiers have been rescued
from a broken down ski | 2:09:22 | 2:09:24 | |
lift in the French Alps
after being trapped on it | 2:09:24 | 2:09:27 | |
for several hours on Christmas Eve. | 2:09:27 | 2:09:30 | |
Helicopters were used | 2:09:30 | 2:09:32 | |
to rescue the people
from their individual gondalas, | 2:09:32 | 2:09:35 | |
which were around 82
feet above the snow, | 2:09:35 | 2:09:40 | |
and rope was used to help the skiers
get back down the slopes. | 2:09:40 | 2:09:43 | |
The cause of the fault isn't known. | 2:09:43 | 2:09:49 | |
That would be a scary trip down that
slope, wouldn't it?! | 2:09:49 | 2:09:54 | |
If you're relaxing at home, perhaps
opening presents this morning, | 2:09:54 | 2:09:58 | |
spare a thought for this team
who are still hard at work. | 2:09:58 | 2:10:02 | |
Santa and his reindeer spent
the night travelling the globe | 2:10:02 | 2:10:05 | |
to deliver presents to children
across the world. | 2:10:05 | 2:10:11 | |
Hopefully we are going to be able to
show you the journey that he is | 2:10:11 | 2:10:15 | |
making with the reindeer at the
moment. | 2:10:15 | 2:10:18 | |
Air traffic controllers from the US
have been tracking the flight | 2:10:18 | 2:10:20 | |
path of his sleigh. | 2:10:20 | 2:10:21 | |
I've been told he has already
delivered 6.5 billion presence | 2:10:21 | 2:10:26 | |
around the world. There we go, you
can see him there, he is headed | 2:10:26 | 2:10:33 | |
towards New Mexico, I believe.
Headed for Arizona. There we are, | 2:10:33 | 2:10:40 | |
I've got else talking in my ear
telling | 2:10:40 | 2:10:42 | |
I've got else talking in my ear
telling me exactly where he is at | 2:10:42 | 2:10:43 | |
the moment. His delivery is going
well, 6.5 billion presents for | 2:10:43 | 2:10:52 | |
children all over the world.
Hopefully you will have yours this | 2:10:52 | 2:10:55 | |
morning if you are waking up here
and | 2:10:55 | 2:10:57 | |
morning if you are waking up here
and unwrapping them. It's always the | 2:10:57 | 2:11:00 | |
best bit, unwrapping the presents in
the morning. We will keep you | 2:11:00 | 2:11:07 | |
updated on how Santa is doing. | 2:11:07 | 2:11:11 | |
It's usually one of the busiest
places in the country on a Monday | 2:11:11 | 2:11:15 | |
morning, but today Euston Station
will feel very different. | 2:11:15 | 2:11:17 | |
It's being turned into a homeless
shelter for Christmas Day - | 2:11:17 | 2:11:20 | |
with staff and volunteers getting
ready to serve a special meal | 2:11:20 | 2:11:22 | |
to 200 rough sleepers. | 2:11:22 | 2:11:23 | |
Our reporter Caroline
Davies is there. | 2:11:23 | 2:11:28 | |
Caroline, I know that station well.
Really amazing to see it being put | 2:11:28 | 2:11:33 | |
to such good use today. Well, good
morning, Steph. This is a rather | 2:11:33 | 2:11:39 | |
empty used in station. As you say,
everything is boarded up behind me, | 2:11:39 | 2:11:44 | |
because of course it's not a normal
commuter Monday. If it was and you | 2:11:44 | 2:11:49 | |
saw that departure board, I don't
think you would be best pleased, | 2:11:49 | 2:11:52 | |
that's not a great start your
working week. But of course, today | 2:11:52 | 2:11:55 | |
is Christmas Day. Here are the
fantastic banqueting tables that | 2:11:55 | 2:11:59 | |
those volunteers from Network Rail
has been putting together. The last | 2:11:59 | 2:12:05 | |
train left at 11:30pm last night,
and ever since then they have been | 2:12:05 | 2:12:09 | |
working to make this special for
homeless people in this area. It was | 2:12:09 | 2:12:13 | |
Network Rail's idea. I'm joined by
one of the team. Can you tell me a | 2:12:13 | 2:12:18 | |
bit about where this idea came from?
This was the idea of Network Rail, a | 2:12:18 | 2:12:24 | |
great company to work for, they
encourage us to think of better ways | 2:12:24 | 2:12:28 | |
to do things. We came up with this
idea to encourage -- to do this at | 2:12:28 | 2:12:34 | |
Christmas. What will people be
eating today? The guests will be | 2:12:34 | 2:12:38 | |
having a great feast. A banquet, I
suppose. We have a smoked salmon | 2:12:38 | 2:12:43 | |
starter, soup, a main course roast,
and then we have Christmas pudding. | 2:12:43 | 2:12:47 | |
What a way to finish a meal. We were
busy last night. Santa came and gave | 2:12:47 | 2:12:52 | |
us the tables, chairs and
decorations, so we were busy setting | 2:12:52 | 2:12:56 | |
up. You have also had donations from
45 different groups and companies to | 2:12:56 | 2:13:01 | |
make this happen. What sort of
things have you been given? The | 2:13:01 | 2:13:05 | |
whole team have been blown away by
the donations, the public generosity | 2:13:05 | 2:13:08 | |
in terms of setting this up. 45
companies have come to us in the | 2:13:08 | 2:13:13 | |
last two weeks, really, we have had
donations of thermal clothes, hats, | 2:13:13 | 2:13:17 | |
gloves, jeans, we have got a whole
department store of clothes that we | 2:13:17 | 2:13:23 | |
will organise later to give out. We
have great food that we've been | 2:13:23 | 2:13:27 | |
given as. You look I heard that you
had a particularly special thing | 2:13:27 | 2:13:31 | |
from a local school. A local school
in North London spent the time to | 2:13:31 | 2:13:40 | |
write 200 individually addressed
cards that we're going to give out | 2:13:40 | 2:13:42 | |
to each of our guests that will come
along today. The school taking the | 2:13:42 | 2:13:46 | |
time demonstrates the public emotion
that is happening around this event. | 2:13:46 | 2:13:50 | |
If anyone is sitting at home
thinking they would like to give | 2:13:50 | 2:13:55 | |
something, are you all set for
today? We are all set, all planned, | 2:13:55 | 2:14:00 | |
we have 32,000 people working across
the Christmas period, so we are | 2:14:00 | 2:14:04 | |
quite used to planning. It has been
fun to work on this. We are all set | 2:14:04 | 2:14:09 | |
for today, we've got everything in
place and ready to go. Christmas Day | 2:14:09 | 2:14:12 | |
is just one day of the year. What
will Network Rail do for the rest of | 2:14:12 | 2:14:16 | |
the year to keep the spirit going
to? We are focusing on today. We | 2:14:16 | 2:14:21 | |
have 200 guests, we are going to
give them the best day expect a few | 2:14:21 | 2:14:29 | |
days ago, and I can't wait to give
them that day. We have done this | 2:14:29 | 2:14:33 | |
with two organisations, Street
Kitchens, a brilliant organisation | 2:14:33 | 2:14:36 | |
that feed thousands of people every
week. And Saint Mungo is, the | 2:14:36 | 2:14:40 | |
largest homeless charity in London.
Please help those organisations out. | 2:14:40 | 2:14:45 | |
All of the volunteers here at
Network Rail will be ready when the | 2:14:45 | 2:14:50 | |
guests arrive at 11am. Thank you
very much, and Merry Christmas to | 2:14:50 | 2:14:56 | |
everyone there from all of us here
at Breakfast. We have had a couple | 2:14:56 | 2:14:59 | |
of e-mails from people who are
getting involved in things like | 2:14:59 | 2:15:02 | |
that. Lowry is on her own today but
she has decided to make Chile and | 2:15:02 | 2:15:07 | |
rice which she is going to take out
later to give to the homeless in her | 2:15:07 | 2:15:11 | |
town. That's a lovely thing to do.
Keep those messages coming in about | 2:15:11 | 2:15:15 | |
what you're doing. I know what
Philip is doing, he is taking up | 2:15:15 | 2:15:19 | |
half of National Grid with that
electricity! You also taking your | 2:15:19 | 2:15:24 | |
family to the BBC canteen, which I
can't get over! Spoiling them rotten | 2:15:24 | 2:15:27 | |
in the true spirit of Christmas!
Christmas is | 2:15:27 | 2:15:31 | |
in the true spirit of Christmas!
Christmas is manifesting itself in | 2:15:31 | 2:15:40 | |
many ways. I thought we would do an
unscheduled item about light | 2:15:40 | 2:15:43 | |
pollution, I think we are going to
have the name and shame on this. | 2:15:43 | 2:15:46 | |
Yes, Carla's garden in Stevenage. If
you've been blinded recently in the | 2:15:46 | 2:15:48 | |
Hertfordshire area, you know where
the source of that light is coming | 2:15:48 | 2:15:50 | |
from! I'm showing you this because
this is a manifestation of the | 2:15:50 | 2:15:53 | |
modern embodiment of Christmas,
unlike our weather. The risk | 2:15:53 | 2:15:59 | |
brightness, a lovely dawn captured
across the docks of Hull. But you | 2:15:59 | 2:16:02 | |
are a long way from not such a
lovely Christmas in this weather | 2:16:02 | 2:16:09 | |
front, the Western fringes of
England and Wales, southern parts of | 2:16:09 | 2:16:13 | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland. You
will know about it if you wonder | 2:16:13 | 2:16:15 | |
that front, it is wet and windy.
Ahead of that -- if you and that | 2:16:15 | 2:16:22 | |
front. There are wind gusts. The
gusts along the southern coasts, you | 2:16:22 | 2:16:27 | |
could be looking at 60 mph, that
will be sometime later in the day. | 2:16:27 | 2:16:31 | |
Make the most of the dry weather.
Until we get close to that weather | 2:16:31 | 2:16:38 | |
front, Northern Ireland too I'm
afraid, it's one of those. North of | 2:16:38 | 2:16:41 | |
this, quite relevant for what is to
come, temperatures at three, four, 5 | 2:16:41 | 2:16:46 | |
degrees or so. As we get through the
evening and overnight, we will push | 2:16:46 | 2:16:50 | |
the weather front with gusty winds
and heavy rain out into the North | 2:16:50 | 2:16:54 | |
Sea. Not a great evening on the
rigs. We will introduce a colder | 2:16:54 | 2:17:00 | |
weather, turning showers wintry on
higher ground. Look at this profile, | 2:17:00 | 2:17:05 | |
one, two, three, 4 degrees. Ice
first up if you are on the move on | 2:17:05 | 2:17:10 | |
Boxing Day. But for sporting
fixtures, not a big issue. Most will | 2:17:10 | 2:17:15 | |
go ahead. There will be some
sunshine at last on Boxing Day. | 2:17:15 | 2:17:19 | |
Clear skies. If you can avoid the
wintry showers, particularly on the | 2:17:19 | 2:17:24 | |
higher ground, but sometimes at
lower levels in the northern half of | 2:17:24 | 2:17:27 | |
Scotland. Later on, you lose your
sunshine in the south-west of | 2:17:27 | 2:17:31 | |
England and Wales as a new area of
low pressure drags its cloud, wind | 2:17:31 | 2:17:35 | |
and rain across the southern half of
the British Isles through Boxing Day | 2:17:35 | 2:17:44 | |
evening and overnight. All the
while, we've got clear skies and a | 2:17:44 | 2:17:47 | |
chilly old night across the northern
half of Britain. And where the two | 2:17:47 | 2:17:49 | |
meet, coming out of Boxing Day and
into Wednesday, there could well be | 2:17:49 | 2:17:52 | |
winteriness in the southern half of
the British Isles. Detail on that at | 2:17:52 | 2:17:57 | |
this distance obviously a wee bit
sketchy. But I would have thought up | 2:17:57 | 2:18:00 | |
by higher ground in the south,
slushy deposits, but there could be | 2:18:00 | 2:18:06 | |
rain in the East Midlands and
south-east. In the middle part of | 2:18:06 | 2:18:10 | |
the week, you will need a hat, scarf
and gloves. Hopefully you got them | 2:18:10 | 2:18:15 | |
for Christmas, and a few other
things too. Do you at least where a | 2:18:15 | 2:18:19 | |
Christmas jumper when you have | 2:18:19 | 2:18:20 | |
things too. Do you at least where a
Christmas jumper when you have your | 2:18:20 | 2:18:20 | |
meal with your family in the
canteen?! No, I can't abide them! | 2:18:20 | 2:18:25 | |
I'm a Scorpio, I'm generosity to a
full! But Christmas jumpers, who | 2:18:25 | 2:18:34 | |
brought that one back?! Bah humbug!
Still, we love you really because | 2:18:34 | 2:18:40 | |
you deliver it with such a smile! | 2:18:40 | 2:18:47 | |
We're not going to judge you if you
are spending most of the day on the | 2:18:47 | 2:18:52 | |
sofa, but there are some people out
there doing very adventurous things | 2:18:52 | 2:18:54 | |
this Christmas. In a moment we will
be talking to the explorer Ben | 2:18:54 | 2:19:01 | |
Saunders and his fiancee, pick
Paris. Ben is currently in | 2:19:01 | 2:19:04 | |
Antarctica. Let's find out why. | 2:19:04 | 2:19:07 | |
An extraordinary challenge,
for which Ben Saunders spent much | 2:19:07 | 2:19:09 | |
of 2017 training for. | 2:19:09 | 2:19:11 | |
The plan is to make a solo,
completely unassisted, | 2:19:11 | 2:19:14 | |
unsupported crossing
of Antarctica on foot. | 2:19:14 | 2:19:17 | |
So I'm walking from one
side, to the South Pole | 2:19:17 | 2:19:22 | |
and carrying on to the opposite
side of Antarctica. | 2:19:22 | 2:19:24 | |
Motivation for Ben is deeply felt. | 2:19:24 | 2:19:26 | |
His friend Henry Worsley died last
year attempting the same feat. | 2:19:26 | 2:19:32 | |
My initial reaction for a few weeks
was that I didn't want anything more | 2:19:32 | 2:19:35 | |
do with Antarctica ever again. | 2:19:35 | 2:19:37 | |
It just seemed too tragic. | 2:19:37 | 2:19:40 | |
I started thinking perhaps the best
way to honour the friendship, | 2:19:40 | 2:19:42 | |
the inspiration he gave me,
would be to sort of | 2:19:42 | 2:19:45 | |
finish the job for him. | 2:19:45 | 2:19:47 | |
Trekking more than 1,000 miles
in a place where temperatures often | 2:19:47 | 2:19:55 | |
reach -40 degrees Celsius,
challenges don't get any tougher. | 2:19:55 | 2:19:57 | |
That looks tough, doesn't it?!
Before we speak to Ben, we're going | 2:20:05 | 2:20:09 | |
to talk to his fiancee, Pip, who is
in the Peak District. Merry | 2:20:09 | 2:20:14 | |
Christmas, and how's it going? Merry
Christmas, Steph. How are you | 2:20:14 | 2:20:18 | |
feeling? He's been away for a couple
of months, how you feeling today? | 2:20:18 | 2:20:23 | |
Yes, I've been OK, but today... I
mean, yeah, I'm sad that he's not | 2:20:23 | 2:20:29 | |
here. But I spoke to him about 20
minutes ago. And he sounded very | 2:20:29 | 2:20:35 | |
cheerful in his tent. He's got a
long day on skis ahead of him. So, | 2:20:35 | 2:20:39 | |
yeah, I'm wishing him a very happy
Christmas. What are you going to be | 2:20:39 | 2:20:43 | |
doing today? Have you got plans?
Yes, the stockings haven't quite | 2:20:43 | 2:20:48 | |
been opened. His is still here, he
forgot to tell Father Christmas he | 2:20:48 | 2:20:53 | |
wasn't at home. After we've heard
him speak with you, we will open the | 2:20:53 | 2:21:01 | |
stockings, go on a walk, not as long
as his, and just a big family lunch. | 2:21:01 | 2:21:07 | |
I know you are incredibly proud of
him, and you, what's it been like | 2:21:07 | 2:21:12 | |
over the last few months? Have you
managed to talk to him very often? | 2:21:12 | 2:21:16 | |
Yes, I speak to him every evening on
satellite phone, which I think keeps | 2:21:16 | 2:21:22 | |
both of us going, really. I'm so
proud of him. He's doing really | 2:21:22 | 2:21:25 | |
well. He's had awful conditions in
Antarctica. So his progress hasn't | 2:21:25 | 2:21:31 | |
been as quick as he hoped. He's got
a difficult decision to make in the | 2:21:31 | 2:21:37 | |
next few days as to whether he can
carry on after the poll, but I | 2:21:37 | 2:21:40 | |
really hope he can, and I know lots
of followers are cheering him on. | 2:21:40 | 2:21:46 | |
OK, Pip, I know it's a tough day for
you. We're going to speak to Ben | 2:21:46 | 2:21:50 | |
now. Thank you so much for talking
to us. For a lot of people who | 2:21:50 | 2:21:54 | |
aren't with their loved ones, it can
be tough today. Then, morning dew, | 2:21:54 | 2:21:59 | |
Merry Christmas, tell us where you
are exactly -- Ben, morning to you. | 2:21:59 | 2:22:06 | |
I'm currently in my tent, in my
sleeping bag. I am about 57 miles | 2:22:06 | 2:22:13 | |
away from the South Pole. And what
are you going to do today to | 2:22:13 | 2:22:18 | |
celebrate?
LAUGHTER | 2:22:18 | 2:22:24 | |
Well, I'm going for a walk! There
will be no Christmas lunch! But I | 2:22:24 | 2:22:27 | |
did find a little chocolate father
Christmas in my bag from my mum. I'm | 2:22:27 | 2:22:35 | |
ashamed to say he's being eaten
already. I had one Christmas present | 2:22:35 | 2:22:39 | |
this morning. I think there might be
one or two more this evening when I | 2:22:39 | 2:22:42 | |
finish in the tent. It's been a good
day so far. Ben, for you in the | 2:22:42 | 2:22:48 | |
middle of that expedition, what's it
been like? We heard a bid from Pip | 2:22:48 | 2:22:52 | |
there. Clearly she is obviously
gutted that you're not that with | 2:22:52 | 2:22:55 | |
her. Tell us about the expedition
and why it's important? Thank you. | 2:22:55 | 2:23:01 | |
It's been very hard. I came here
during -- knowing it would be a | 2:23:01 | 2:23:07 | |
tough camping trip. I've been...
Today is a 48. -- is Day 48. I've | 2:23:07 | 2:23:15 | |
travelled just short of 950
kilometres, 22.5 marathons. It's | 2:23:15 | 2:23:23 | |
been pretty hard, and the weather
has been unusually bad. There's been | 2:23:23 | 2:23:27 | |
a lot of low cloud and fog and mist.
Some very poor visibility which | 2:23:27 | 2:23:33 | |
makes it harder to navigate. It's
been a tough, tough trip. But I'm | 2:23:33 | 2:23:36 | |
doing it all for a charity called
the In Deva fund. Which supports | 2:23:36 | 2:23:43 | |
wounded and honourable veterans --
in Deva fund. People can follow | 2:23:43 | 2:23:50 | |
along online. There will be updates
from my tent every evening. It's | 2:23:50 | 2:23:53 | |
been tough so far. I'm nearly two
thirds of the way across now. We | 2:23:53 | 2:23:58 | |
really appreciate you taking the
time to talk to us. And to your | 2:23:58 | 2:24:02 | |
fiancee, Pip as well. Have a Merry
Christmas from all of us. Thank you, | 2:24:02 | 2:24:08 | |
and you, Merry Christmas. Ben
Saunders in the middle of his | 2:24:08 | 2:24:12 | |
expedition. My goodness, people are
up to all sorts today! | 2:24:12 | 2:24:20 | |
For some people, Christmas Day can
be a time of anxiety and loneliness. | 2:24:20 | 2:24:27 | |
To help us survive the day,
we've got the Breakfast version | 2:24:27 | 2:24:30 | |
of the three wise men. | 2:24:30 | 2:24:31 | |
Good morning, and Merry Christmas. | 2:24:31 | 2:24:37 | |
Corinne Sweet is a psychologist,
Sally Hitchiner | 2:24:37 | 2:24:39 | |
is an Anglican vicar, | 2:24:39 | 2:24:40 | |
and Grant Harrold a former royal
butler and etiquette expert. | 2:24:40 | 2:24:42 | |
We've had quite a few messages in
from people to tell us what they're | 2:24:42 | 2:24:45 | |
doing. And there's actually quite a
lot going on in terms of helping | 2:24:45 | 2:24:49 | |
people out there, isn't there,
Sally? We were hearing about Euston | 2:24:49 | 2:24:53 | |
station being turned into a centre
where they are going to give dinner | 2:24:53 | 2:24:56 | |
to homeless people. A lady told us
she is going to be taking out food. | 2:24:56 | 2:25:00 | |
There is a lot going on. There is
huge amounts, and it's not too late | 2:25:00 | 2:25:05 | |
to volunteer if you want to get out
in the local community. Looking | 2:25:05 | 2:25:15 | |
online for where groups are helping
the homeless or local charities that | 2:25:15 | 2:25:17 | |
are helping people, Shelter doing
huge amount of work for people at | 2:25:17 | 2:25:19 | |
this time of year. Logging into a
website like a church near you .com. | 2:25:19 | 2:25:22 | |
Find out where your local
communities are gathering, where | 2:25:22 | 2:25:25 | |
there are events happening and being
able to engage with people outside | 2:25:25 | 2:25:28 | |
of your home and being able to take
responsibility and helping others at | 2:25:28 | 2:25:33 | |
Christmas. It's been really helpful.
It stops the pressure for you to | 2:25:33 | 2:25:37 | |
have the perfect family Christmas.
If you are and what on what you | 2:25:37 | 2:25:41 | |
missing someone and want a chance to
keep busy and get out there and help | 2:25:41 | 2:25:44 | |
other people is the point. People,
though, they might not want, out of | 2:25:44 | 2:25:48 | |
the house. What's your advice for by
both you don't want to leave the | 2:25:48 | 2:25:54 | |
house? If you wore on your own and
you are feeling lonely, if you have | 2:25:54 | 2:25:58 | |
people that you can either phone or
you can tweet or make some sort of | 2:25:58 | 2:26:04 | |
social media contact with, it makes
it feel better to reach out if you | 2:26:04 | 2:26:08 | |
are feeling a bit lonely. There is
always the Samaritans that you can | 2:26:08 | 2:26:12 | |
phone 24 hours a day, they are
always there and they are ways | 2:26:12 | 2:26:16 | |
listening. If you are living on a
road and you know a few people on | 2:26:16 | 2:26:20 | |
your road, take a mince pie round.
When we actually make a movement out | 2:26:20 | 2:26:24 | |
towards somebody else it makes us
feel better. There will be somebody | 2:26:24 | 2:26:28 | |
to talk to. Grant, for those people
who've got of people coming crowned | 2:26:28 | 2:26:33 | |
the house, it's a big day, you know,
you've got all the family pressures, | 2:26:33 | 2:26:37 | |
you've got all the kind of catering
to do, you must know an awful lot | 2:26:37 | 2:26:41 | |
about that. What are your top tips?
Christmas is the perfect time to be | 2:26:41 | 2:26:48 | |
putting others before you. As a
host, you could have people coming | 2:26:48 | 2:26:51 | |
crowned, you want to put them first,
make sure that you have got their | 2:26:51 | 2:26:55 | |
favourite food and drinks in. As a
guest, you want to support the host. | 2:26:55 | 2:26:59 | |
Some people say to me, can I help a
host if they are busy in the kitchen | 2:26:59 | 2:27:03 | |
or do I keep out the way? You can
judge it. Some hosts don't want you | 2:27:03 | 2:27:08 | |
involved, they want you to enjoy
yourself. Some hosts are grateful | 2:27:08 | 2:27:15 | |
for the help, working together and
helping each other. It's important | 2:27:15 | 2:27:17 | |
to remember that. What if you've got
a family like a blended family, lots | 2:27:17 | 2:27:21 | |
of people of different ages, they
all want different things, how do | 2:27:21 | 2:27:24 | |
you cater for that? Is difficult,
because you have different | 2:27:24 | 2:27:28 | |
generations. The older generation
want a quiet day, sitting by the | 2:27:28 | 2:27:31 | |
fire possibly or having some time
out in the afternoon. The kids don't | 2:27:31 | 2:27:35 | |
want to do that. You've got to
remember, for example in the | 2:27:35 | 2:27:40 | |
afternoon, keep chairs empty for the
more senior adults who might want to | 2:27:40 | 2:27:42 | |
chill. And for the children, plan a
Christmas walk in the afternoon. The | 2:27:42 | 2:27:49 | |
Queen's speech, some members of the
family might want to watch it and | 2:27:49 | 2:27:52 | |
some might not. Some might want to
play games in another room. It's | 2:27:52 | 2:27:57 | |
thinking ahead and planning the day,
having a schedule, something I'm | 2:27:57 | 2:28:00 | |
good at as a butler is planning out
the day, making sure that everyone | 2:28:00 | 2:28:05 | |
has something to do and everyone is
enjoying themselves. Too much | 2:28:05 | 2:28:10 | |
alcohol can cause chaos. I would
say, try and have water in between | 2:28:10 | 2:28:16 | |
your alcohol. It's Christmas,
though! People want to have a few | 2:28:16 | 2:28:21 | |
drinks! Obsolete, but don't let
other people too much. Pace | 2:28:21 | 2:28:24 | |
yourselves. -- absolutely. Cups of
tea and a bit of time out. What you | 2:28:24 | 2:28:29 | |
were talking about their about
etiquette, we are so used to having | 2:28:29 | 2:28:32 | |
phones and iPads and all of our
gadgets around, let's just have a | 2:28:32 | 2:28:38 | |
Christmas lunch wherewith but put
them away and we actually relate to | 2:28:38 | 2:28:40 | |
each other, have a little bit of
quiet. Obviously if you are | 2:28:40 | 2:28:44 | |
contacting people around the world
or friends, do that. But when | 2:28:44 | 2:28:48 | |
somebody has made a lunch, really
appreciate their cooking. I'd turn | 2:28:48 | 2:28:52 | |
the phone is off for a bit for the
meal. And not taking pictures of the | 2:28:52 | 2:28:57 | |
food as well. To Instagram it. Some
people don't want their homes on | 2:28:57 | 2:29:02 | |
social media, bear that in mind and
remember that. By thoughtful. A real | 2:29:02 | 2:29:08 | |
challenge, I'm wanting to ask Grant,
the etiquette expert, about this, | 2:29:08 | 2:29:13 | |
how do you cope if someone gives you
a present that you really don't | 2:29:13 | 2:29:15 | |
like! You don't say that! The worst
moment, you are given the Christmas | 2:29:15 | 2:29:22 | |
jumper or socks and you don't know
what to do. You've got to act. Even | 2:29:22 | 2:29:26 | |
if it's the worst gift you've ever
seen, you can't show that, you got | 2:29:26 | 2:29:30 | |
to keep the smile in, you got to
show excitement and do a speech that | 2:29:30 | 2:29:34 | |
is fit for the Academy Awards. You
are so thrilled, is the best gift | 2:29:34 | 2:29:39 | |
you've ever had! Make sure that what
you don't do is hand it into a | 2:29:39 | 2:29:42 | |
charity shop or something were
another member of the family might | 2:29:42 | 2:29:45 | |
then buy it and the following
Christmas, which has happened to | 2:29:45 | 2:29:48 | |
they will wear it! That happen to
you with a gift you gave to someone! | 2:29:48 | 2:29:54 | |
Somebody else has ended up wearing
it, it not be the same gift but very | 2:29:54 | 2:29:59 | |
similar. I have a friend who once
said, tell me if you don't like it. | 2:29:59 | 2:30:04 | |
I told her that I didn't like it and
she never forgive me! A lot of | 2:30:04 | 2:30:10 | |
greys, just cover today, especially
if people have had a few drinks, | 2:30:10 | 2:30:13 | |
just roll with it. Having is based
that actually does say is, today, | 2:30:13 | 2:30:17 | |
whatever you are given is a gift.
Any experience of goodness is a | 2:30:17 | 2:30:22 | |
gift. That is the heart of the
Christmas message, really, you are | 2:30:22 | 2:30:26 | |
given a gift in Christmas. Actually
be able to celebrate the bits that | 2:30:26 | 2:30:30 | |
are good and being able to roll over
the bits that are not. Don't get | 2:30:30 | 2:30:34 | |
into heavy discussions. Not words
that are going to wind people up. I | 2:30:34 | 2:30:41 | |
think we'd better leave things
there. You are going to come back on | 2:30:41 | 2:30:44 | |
at the end of the show to help us
wish everyone a Merry Christmas, | 2:30:44 | 2:30:48 | |
with your dogs! I heard them barking
in the background. I think that's | 2:30:48 | 2:30:52 | |
the puppy that we can hear, she is
in make up getting ready! I love the | 2:30:52 | 2:30:57 | |
thought of that! Guys, we will see
you later. Do stay with us, the | 2:30:57 | 2:31:00 | |
headlines, got. And I will be joined
by the ski jump legend Eddie the | 2:31:00 | 2:31:05 | |
Eagle. | 2:31:05 | 2:31:06 | |
Hello, this is Breakfast
with Steph McGovern. | 2:31:31 | 2:31:32 | |
Here's a summary of this
morning's main news. | 2:31:32 | 2:31:38 | |
The Queen will pay tribute
to the cities of Manchester | 2:31:38 | 2:31:40 | |
and London in her Christmas Day
broadcast, for the way | 2:31:40 | 2:31:42 | |
in which they dealt with this
year's terrorist attacks. | 2:31:42 | 2:31:45 | |
Her message was recorded
at Buckingham Palace. | 2:31:45 | 2:31:46 | |
She's now at her estate
at Sandringham in Norfolk with other | 2:31:46 | 2:31:50 | |
members of the royal family,
including Prince Harry | 2:31:50 | 2:31:53 | |
and his fiancee Meghan Markle. | 2:31:53 | 2:32:00 | |
Pope Francis has used his
Christmas Eve Mass to urge the world | 2:32:00 | 2:32:03 | |
not to ignore the plight
of millions of migrants. | 2:32:03 | 2:32:05 | |
The pontiff compared
them to Mary and Joseph, | 2:32:05 | 2:32:07 | |
recounting the Biblical story of how
they had to travel from | 2:32:07 | 2:32:09 | |
Nazareth to Bethlehem
but found no place to stay. | 2:32:09 | 2:32:11 | |
He said many migrants
were being forced to flee | 2:32:11 | 2:32:14 | |
from leaders who "see no problem
in shedding innocent blood". | 2:32:14 | 2:32:21 | |
At the Church of the Nativity,
in Bethlehem, midnight mass took | 2:32:21 | 2:32:23 | |
place against a backdrop
of heightened security. | 2:32:23 | 2:32:25 | |
Fewer pilgrims than usual
are in the city because of increased | 2:32:25 | 2:32:28 | |
tensions between Palestinians
and Israelis following | 2:32:28 | 2:32:29 | |
President Trump's decision
to recognise Jerusalem | 2:32:29 | 2:32:31 | |
as the capital of Israel. | 2:32:31 | 2:32:41 | |
Guatemala has said it
will follow America's lead, | 2:32:41 | 2:32:42 | |
moving its embassy in Israel
to Jerusalem too. | 2:32:42 | 2:32:48 | |
Guatemalan President Jimmy Morales
said he made the decision | 2:32:48 | 2:32:50 | |
after speaking to Israel's PM
Benjamin Netanyahu. | 2:32:50 | 2:32:51 | |
Donald Trump had threatened to cut
aid to nations that voted | 2:32:51 | 2:32:54 | |
against the US in a recent UN vote
on the issue. | 2:32:54 | 2:33:02 | |
A British woman being held
in an Egyptian prison for drug | 2:33:02 | 2:33:05 | |
smuggling offences will appear
in court later today. | 2:33:05 | 2:33:07 | |
Laura Plummer was arrested
in October when she was found | 2:33:07 | 2:33:09 | |
with 290 tramadol tablets
in her suitcase. | 2:33:09 | 2:33:11 | |
The painkiller is legal
in the UK, but not in Egypt. | 2:33:11 | 2:33:14 | |
Her family has maintained she wasn't
aware the drug was illegal. | 2:33:14 | 2:33:16 | |
If found guilty she faces up
to 25 years in prison. | 2:33:16 | 2:33:26 | |
Surrey Police are trying to identify
a man who was found unconscious | 2:33:27 | 2:33:30 | |
in a ditch yesterday afternoon. | 2:33:30 | 2:33:31 | |
They've released pictures
of the man's clothing in an attempt | 2:33:31 | 2:33:34 | |
to track down his family. | 2:33:34 | 2:33:35 | |
The man, who is thought to be
in his 20s, is in a serious | 2:33:35 | 2:33:38 | |
condition in hospital. | 2:33:38 | 2:33:44 | |
Around 150 skiers have been rescued
from a broken down ski | 2:33:44 | 2:33:47 | |
lift in the French Alps,
after being trapped on it | 2:33:47 | 2:33:49 | |
for several hours on Christmas Eve. | 2:33:49 | 2:33:51 | |
Helicopters were used
to rescue the people | 2:33:51 | 2:33:53 | |
from their individual gondalas,
which were around 82 | 2:33:53 | 2:33:55 | |
feet above the snow,
and rope was used to help the skiers | 2:33:55 | 2:33:57 | |
get back down the slopes. | 2:33:57 | 2:33:59 | |
The cause of the fault isn't known. | 2:33:59 | 2:34:08 | |
When you think of Christmas
traditions, radishes might not be | 2:34:15 | 2:34:21 | |
the first thing that come to mind -
unless you live in the Mexican | 2:34:21 | 2:34:25 | |
region of Wahaca that is. | 2:34:25 | 2:34:26 | |
Each year in the run up
to Christmas, thousands of people | 2:34:26 | 2:34:31 | |
come together to carve a nativity
scene out of radishes. | 2:34:31 | 2:34:33 | |
The custom is now in its 120th year
and started when vegetable vendors | 2:34:33 | 2:34:36 | |
adorned their stalls with carvings
to show off their wares. | 2:34:36 | 2:34:46 | |
It is incredible what you can do
with a radish. Look at that tash! If | 2:34:48 | 2:34:54 | |
you are wondering what to do with
your radishes, that is an idea for | 2:34:54 | 2:34:57 | |
you. | 2:34:57 | 2:34:58 | |
you. | 2:34:58 | 2:34:59 | |
Those are the main
stories this morning. | 2:34:59 | 2:35:07 | |
Joe McFadden might have
been crowned this year's | 2:35:07 | 2:35:09 | |
Strictly Come Dancing champion,
but today it's the turn of former | 2:35:09 | 2:35:12 | |
contestants to waltz their way
onto the dance floor | 2:35:12 | 2:35:14 | |
for the Strictly Christmas special. | 2:35:14 | 2:35:15 | |
It's on BBC One at 6:30pm -
and Breakfast's Tim Muffett | 2:35:15 | 2:35:18 | |
caught up with the dancers
and celebrities in rehearsals. | 2:35:18 | 2:35:21 | |
Well, they have me doing a Viennese
waltz with Brendan, which is lovely. | 2:35:21 | 2:35:24 | |
It's just nice she's finally got
a decent partner to dance with, | 2:35:24 | 2:35:27 | |
instead of that Anton fella. | 2:35:27 | 2:35:29 | |
It didn't take long. | 2:35:29 | 2:35:30 | |
About 45 seconds. | 2:35:30 | 2:35:32 | |
Merry Christmas, Anton! | 2:35:32 | 2:35:33 | |
A bit of a royal theme
this year, isn't it. | 2:35:33 | 2:35:36 | |
You have been to Buckingham Palace,
met the Duchess of Cornwall. | 2:35:36 | 2:35:39 | |
You had a cheeky cha-cha with her. | 2:35:39 | 2:35:41 | |
I got a little cheeky cha-cha,
I'm not going to lie. | 2:35:41 | 2:35:44 | |
I enjoyed it, I think she did too. | 2:35:44 | 2:35:46 | |
She is a very close friend
of Craig, apparently. | 2:35:46 | 2:35:48 | |
Is she? | 2:35:48 | 2:35:49 | |
So he says. | 2:35:49 | 2:35:50 | |
So he does have a friend! | 2:35:50 | 2:35:51 | |
Everyone says Strictly
changes your life, have | 2:35:51 | 2:35:53 | |
you been dancing ever since? | 2:35:53 | 2:35:54 | |
This is quite normal now,
that's what changed. | 2:35:54 | 2:35:56 | |
Cue dramatic music. | 2:35:56 | 2:35:57 | |
This is now my life. | 2:35:57 | 2:36:05 | |
We are just watching it back now,
to see if there is any tiny | 2:36:05 | 2:36:09 | |
improvements that we could make. | 2:36:09 | 2:36:10 | |
Compared to Brian Connolly,
how does Colin rate? | 2:36:10 | 2:36:13 | |
They are two completely
styles of dancers. | 2:36:13 | 2:36:17 | |
So that would be really
unfair of me to compare. | 2:36:17 | 2:36:19 | |
I love you Brian, I love you Colin. | 2:36:19 | 2:36:26 | |
Is this your own special
routine you're working out | 2:36:26 | 2:36:28 | |
here, what is this bit? | 2:36:28 | 2:36:29 | |
This is a bit of a group dance,
we are doing a jive. | 2:36:29 | 2:36:33 | |
Well, it's a jive for Colin,
to me it's just running round. | 2:36:33 | 2:36:36 | |
People say Strictly
changes your life, it makes | 2:36:36 | 2:36:38 | |
people dance all the time. | 2:36:38 | 2:36:39 | |
Did it have that effect? | 2:36:39 | 2:36:40 | |
Absolutely. | 2:36:40 | 2:36:41 | |
Before I used to just listen
to music, now it's like, oh, | 2:36:41 | 2:36:44 | |
you do a foxtrot to this,
oh, you do a quickstep to this, | 2:36:44 | 2:36:47 | |
oh, this is a jive. | 2:36:47 | 2:36:49 | |
Does that make you dull
at dinner parties? | 2:36:49 | 2:36:51 | |
I kind of keep it in! | 2:36:51 | 2:36:53 | |
What was it like being back
on this dance floor? | 2:36:53 | 2:36:56 | |
Right now, it feels OK. | 2:36:56 | 2:37:00 | |
When I hear the, "Kimberley dancing
the jive", I'm going to be like... | 2:37:00 | 2:37:05 | |
What are the unusual requests
you get for the Christmas special? | 2:37:05 | 2:37:11 | |
We have had practice reindeer ears -
they're the same as | 2:37:11 | 2:37:13 | |
normal reindeer ears. | 2:37:13 | 2:37:14 | |
This is Pasha's shiny
reindeer tummy. | 2:37:14 | 2:37:16 | |
I am seeing a mustard yellow velour
thing here, what is it? | 2:37:16 | 2:37:19 | |
Gold! | 2:37:19 | 2:37:20 | |
Sorry. | 2:37:20 | 2:37:21 | |
Sorry. | 2:37:21 | 2:37:22 | |
Jeremy Vine's golden shoes. | 2:37:22 | 2:37:23 | |
They are. | 2:37:23 | 2:37:24 | |
They are huge. | 2:37:24 | 2:37:25 | |
They are a 12. | 2:37:25 | 2:37:26 | |
It has a special coating on it. | 2:37:26 | 2:37:28 | |
The Jeremy Vine coating. | 2:37:28 | 2:37:30 | |
Wipe down, after your
Christmas dinner. | 2:37:30 | 2:37:34 | |
That's good. | 2:37:34 | 2:37:37 | |
I have to descend from the ceiling
on some sort of star, | 2:37:37 | 2:37:40 | |
because when I did Strictly I was
never allowed to fly. | 2:37:40 | 2:37:43 | |
Massive shoes. | 2:37:43 | 2:37:45 | |
They have made gold shoes
and there may be nobody else who can | 2:37:45 | 2:37:48 | |
wear size 12 gold shoes -
apart from Audley Harrison. | 2:37:48 | 2:37:57 | |
The Audley Harrison music! | 2:37:57 | 2:37:58 | |
Yes. | 2:37:58 | 2:37:59 | |
That's right. | 2:37:59 | 2:38:00 | |
I forgot. | 2:38:00 | 2:38:01 | |
You must never say the words
"Audley Harrison". | 2:38:01 | 2:38:03 | |
# I wish it could be
Christmas every day... | 2:38:03 | 2:38:05 | |
You know the words! | 2:38:05 | 2:38:07 | |
You're on in a minute! | 2:38:07 | 2:38:11 | |
How different is the atmosphere
on a Christmas special, | 2:38:11 | 2:38:14 | |
compared to the highly competitive
live shows every Saturday? | 2:38:14 | 2:38:16 | |
Does it feel different? | 2:38:16 | 2:38:17 | |
We get a Christmas lunch, then
there's a cheese and biscuit party. | 2:38:17 | 2:38:20 | |
We never have cheese
and biscuit parties. | 2:38:20 | 2:38:22 | |
Cheese isn't good for
the voice, though, is it? | 2:38:22 | 2:38:24 | |
Dairy products? | 2:38:24 | 2:38:25 | |
No. | 2:38:25 | 2:38:26 | |
Are you competitive with each other? | 2:38:26 | 2:38:27 | |
Not really. | 2:38:27 | 2:38:29 | |
Dave Arch over here, are
they competitive with each other? | 2:38:29 | 2:38:32 | |
LAUGHTER. | 2:38:32 | 2:38:37 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. | 2:38:37 | 2:38:46 | |
Almost 30 years ago,
Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards won | 2:38:46 | 2:38:49 | |
legions of fans with his spirit
and sportsmanship at | 2:38:49 | 2:38:51 | |
the Calgary Winter Olympics. | 2:38:51 | 2:38:52 | |
But after hanging up his skis,
Eddie is coming out | 2:38:52 | 2:38:54 | |
of retirement as a special guest
at London's New Year's Day parade. | 2:38:54 | 2:38:57 | |
He's here with us now. | 2:38:57 | 2:39:04 | |
How are you? I am wonderful, thank
you. You are super busy, tell us | 2:39:04 | 2:39:10 | |
what has been going on? Just very
busy off the back of the film, and I | 2:39:10 | 2:39:17 | |
have been megabusy, travelling all
over the world, doing speaking jobs | 2:39:17 | 2:39:20 | |
and TV and radio, and the odd
commercial here and there and doing | 2:39:20 | 2:39:25 | |
lots of skiing, the occasional ski
jump, but it has been fantastic. I | 2:39:25 | 2:39:31 | |
want to show everyone the clip of
you at Callegari. That is what you | 2:39:31 | 2:39:36 | |
were famous for, let us have a look
at it. | 2:39:36 | 2:39:48 | |
He is safely down. Listen to the
crowd. It is not an enormous jump | 2:39:48 | 2:39:53 | |
but it is 71. That is a British
report, you have seen it here, he | 2:39:53 | 2:39:57 | |
has made it as a ski jumper. 71
metres. For Eddie the eagle. | 2:39:57 | 2:40:05 | |
And the crowd love it. Just nearly
stumbled. He won't get very high | 2:40:05 | 2:40:11 | |
star marks, he knows that, he has
never eimpressed the judges with his | 2:40:11 | 2:40:17 | |
style. How do you feel about that?
It can remember it like it was | 2:40:17 | 2:40:22 | |
yesterday, it has been 30 year,
Since then, you have been doing lots | 2:40:22 | 2:40:27 | |
of different things but we haven't
seen you ski jump very often, what | 2:40:27 | 2:40:31 | |
has been going on? Because I became
Eddie the eagle, I got kicked out of | 2:40:31 | 2:40:38 | |
the sport, and I tried to go for the
98 Olympics but thought I had | 2:40:38 | 2:40:42 | |
qualified but that didn't work, so I
went back to school and just been | 2:40:42 | 2:40:48 | |
doing Eadie the Eagle work, the last
time I jumped was about 20 years | 2:40:48 | 2:40:53 | |
ago, apart from one or two about two
years ago before the film was | 2:40:53 | 2:40:57 | |
released and then as part of the
London New Year's Day parade they | 2:40:57 | 2:41:01 | |
asked me to do some ski jumping. I
haven't done it for a while. | 2:41:01 | 2:41:06 | |
Everything has changed but it is
nice to get back on my jumping skis | 2:41:06 | 2:41:09 | |
to see whether I still have the
courage to do it. We have got a clip | 2:41:09 | 2:41:13 | |
of you doing that in Norway in the
last couple of week, let us look at | 2:41:13 | 2:41:16 | |
that. | 2:41:16 | 2:41:19 | |
How did that training go? Was it,
did it communally do you? Kind of, | 2:41:42 | 2:41:48 | |
because it was very last minute, and
I had one day off in December, and I | 2:41:48 | 2:41:55 | |
was in Munich and they said with
will flew do you Oslo, there was no | 2:41:55 | 2:42:00 | |
snow, we were disparately ringing
round and we found this little place | 2:42:00 | 2:42:04 | |
with a 40 metre ski jump. We went
straight there, about | 2:42:04 | 2:42:08 | |
three-and-a-half hour drive, and
skis on and did it. So I didn't have | 2:42:08 | 2:42:12 | |
time to think about it, it had to
just do it. Which is is sometimes | 2:42:12 | 2:42:16 | |
the best thing to do. I agree. Why
did you come out of retirement. I | 2:42:16 | 2:42:21 | |
was asked to be part of the New
Year's Day parade. Didn't know they | 2:42:21 | 2:42:27 | |
had a parade. They said we would
love you to be guest of honour and a | 2:42:27 | 2:42:32 | |
month later they said would you do
some ski jumping again? I thought | 2:42:32 | 2:42:35 | |
why not? I am still fit so we
thought let's do it. We had that one | 2:42:35 | 2:42:39 | |
day, we managed to get there and do
a bit of jumping. We found some snow | 2:42:39 | 2:42:43 | |
and now we are getting ready for the
parade on New Year's Day. I am | 2:42:43 | 2:42:48 | |
loving your enthusiasm. Are you
involved in the winter Olympics | 2:42:48 | 2:42:52 | |
coming up? I might be doing some
commentating here and there, but | 2:42:52 | 2:42:56 | |
nothing is planned at the moment,
but I am in Montana for two weeks | 2:42:56 | 2:43:02 | |
doing ski related stuff over there
and then I fly back and we will | 2:43:02 | 2:43:06 | |
hopefully have something sorted. I
want to watch as much as I can of | 2:43:06 | 2:43:10 | |
the winter Olympics. What an honour
to have a film made about you. That | 2:43:10 | 2:43:15 | |
was really cool. Thank you so much
for coming in. Merry Christmas, I | 2:43:15 | 2:43:20 | |
hope you have a lovely day and good
luck with the parade. Eddie will be | 2:43:20 | 2:43:25 | |
guest of honour at the New Year's
Day parade. | 2:43:25 | 2:43:36 | |
Your Christmas might involve barely
moving from the sofa, | 2:43:36 | 2:43:38 | |
but many of you are also up
to some adventurous things. | 2:43:38 | 2:43:41 | |
Let's speak to Pheobe Smith,
who's been camping out | 2:43:41 | 2:43:43 | |
at Ben Nevis all night! | 2:43:43 | 2:43:47 | |
Goodness Phoebe, Merry Christmas,
how are you? Merry Christmas, a bit | 2:43:47 | 2:43:51 | |
cold, I am good though, thanks. Tell
us why you decided to camp on Ben | 2:43:51 | 2:43:56 | |
Nevis on Christmas Eve? It is part
of a challenge I set myself, so I | 2:43:56 | 2:44:00 | |
have spent the last three nights
camping on Snowden, then Scafell | 2:44:00 | 2:44:07 | |
Pike and now ending on Ben Nevis, In
my three peaks sleep for Centrepoint | 2:44:07 | 2:44:14 | |
the homeless charity. What will you
be doing for the rest of the day? | 2:44:14 | 2:44:18 | |
Well I have to get down off the
mountain and yaic my tent, it is | 2:44:18 | 2:44:25 | |
completely frozen.
PROBLEM WITH SOUND | 2:44:25 | 2:44:29 | |
. Well, Phoebe. It looks beautiful,
there. Holding my phone there is is | 2:44:29 | 2:44:36 | |
a guy called Andy who has followed
me. He has come up to say hello. | 2:44:36 | 2:44:41 | |
Excellent. I am glad you are having
a good time. We will have to leave | 2:44:41 | 2:44:45 | |
it there. That is Phoebe on Ben
Nevis. What a great thing to do on a | 2:44:45 | 2:44:50 | |
Christmas Eve into Christmas
morning. Snow there, but let us find | 2:44:50 | 2:44:53 | |
out what the weather is like. | 2:44:53 | 2:44:58 | |
That is a scary looking | 2:44:58 | 2:44:59 | |
That is a scary looking cat. I am
glad you had the happy face of the | 2:44:59 | 2:45:04 | |
situation in Scotland. There is the
face of a cat who has had enough. | 2:45:04 | 2:45:07 | |
Here we are, quarter to nine and
that moggy is fed up to the back | 2:45:07 | 2:45:11 | |
teeth. I don't care what it is going
to get in its presents, socks all | 2:45:11 | 2:45:15 | |
four of them during the course of
the day. It isn't going to make a | 2:45:15 | 2:45:19 | |
lot of difference, that cat really
is fed up to the back teeth. | 2:45:19 | 2:45:22 | |
Because, it was so wet and windy
overnight, in the Nairn area where | 2:45:22 | 2:45:26 | |
it was up on the shores of the Moray
Firth, it is tied in with this | 2:45:26 | 2:45:30 | |
weather front. It is one of those
Christmas Day, nothing particularly | 2:45:30 | 2:45:35 | |
seasonal with regard to white and
reindeer and the rest of it. It is | 2:45:35 | 2:45:38 | |
going to be wet and windy at the
same time. That weather front | 2:45:38 | 2:45:41 | |
hanging out towards the western side
of England and Wales for a good part | 2:45:41 | 2:45:44 | |
of the day. Later op as you will see
it will work eastwards, ahead of it | 2:45:44 | 2:45:49 | |
it is pretty much what we have had
for the past few day, very lit in | 2:45:49 | 2:45:54 | |
the way of sunshine, temperatures in
double figure, this is good weather | 2:45:54 | 2:45:56 | |
for you if you are on the move. And
the wind on the south coast 30mph. | 2:45:56 | 2:46:02 | |
Near the front, southern parts of
Scotland, Northern Ireland, the far | 2:46:02 | 2:46:05 | |
north of England not great, it has
to be said. There will be wintriness | 2:46:05 | 2:46:10 | |
in the high ground. We hind it, 3,
4, 5 degrees. 10, 11, 12. Here comes | 2:46:10 | 2:46:17 | |
the weather front, further towards
the east. That opens the opportunity | 2:46:17 | 2:46:20 | |
there, the door for the cold
weather, to gradually slump down and | 2:46:20 | 2:46:25 | |
across the British Isles to give us
a markedly different day for many on | 2:46:25 | 2:46:29 | |
Boxing Day. Three or four degrees
overnight. There could be a touch of | 2:46:29 | 2:46:33 | |
ice round. If you are on the move
first thing. That is not a big | 2:46:33 | 2:46:37 | |
issue, it's a mixture of sunny
spells and showers. Plenty of | 2:46:37 | 2:46:40 | |
sunshine for the Midland and eastern
parts of England too. Plenty of | 2:46:40 | 2:46:44 | |
showers coming into the north of
Scotland and wet and windy fayre | 2:46:44 | 2:46:49 | |
piling in towards this south-west
quarter of the British Isles where | 2:46:49 | 2:46:54 | |
it is three to eight or nine degrees
or so. That is important, because | 2:46:54 | 2:46:58 | |
here we have relatively mild air,
and we a wee bit of Moyes hub, it is | 2:46:58 | 2:47:04 | |
wet and windy here, cold air on the
north and that is the boundary, | 2:47:04 | 2:47:07 | |
where we see the two mixing, that
low pressure gradually working | 2:47:07 | 2:47:12 | |
further east during the course of
Wednesday, there it will be the real | 2:47:12 | 2:47:15 | |
issue, we will keep a close eye on
the weather. This could mean | 2:47:15 | 2:47:21 | |
wintriness in the south. More on the
high ground, ahead of it that is a | 2:47:21 | 2:47:24 | |
lot of rain in East Anglia and
Lincolnshire too on what is going to | 2:47:24 | 2:47:28 | |
be a pretty chilly | 2:47:28 | 2:47:29 | |
Lincolnshire too on what is going to
be a pretty chilly day. | 2:47:29 | 2:47:38 | |
As part of our BBC Sing series
we presenters were set a challenge. | 2:47:44 | 2:47:47 | |
Could we pull off a live performance
at Manchester's Bridgewater Hall, | 2:47:47 | 2:47:50 | |
singing in front of more
than a thousand people, with only | 2:47:50 | 2:47:52 | |
eight hours to learn our lines? | 2:47:52 | 2:47:54 | |
How did we get on? | 2:47:54 | 2:47:55 | |
Let's have a look. | 2:47:55 | 2:48:05 | |
You might find some of this
distressing! Let's have a look. | 2:48:05 | 2:48:16 | |
Six breakfast television presenters.
At match's Bridgwater hall. | 2:48:19 | 2:48:29 | |
Their challenge, to learn a
Christmas classic. Chestnuts | 2:48:29 | 2:48:33 | |
roasting on an open fire.
And sing to a full house of more | 2:48:33 | 2:48:41 | |
than 1,000 people.
That is a lot of people's ears that | 2:48:41 | 2:48:45 | |
could be potentially bleeding by the
end of it. Presenters will perform | 2:48:45 | 2:48:52 | |
with the gospel choir Manchester
inspirational voices. Will they | 2:48:52 | 2:48:54 | |
remember the words?
# Lots of toys and... Will they | 2:48:54 | 2:49:01 | |
remember the tune? I literately
don't even know how it should be. | 2:49:01 | 2:49:07 | |
The challenge is on. I am sweating.
You will be fine. | 2:49:07 | 2:49:21 | |
# Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
The Bridgwater hall is sold out. In | 2:49:21 | 2:49:30 | |
audience to give much-needed support
fellow business presenter Shaun and | 2:49:30 | 2:49:34 | |
Louise's husband.
I have never sung before | 2:49:34 | 2:49:38 | |
individually or as a choir. And they
have learned it in one day. Wow. So | 2:49:38 | 2:49:44 | |
hopefully they have learned the
words and they are not going to slip | 2:49:44 | 2:49:47 | |
up. I am sure they will do well. I
am a big fan of Dan's so I am | 2:49:47 | 2:49:51 | |
looking forward to seeing his
performance. Yeah. Good luck, do | 2:49:51 | 2:49:56 | |
well and breathe before you do it
and just have a good time. | 2:49:56 | 2:50:03 | |
Presenters will need all the help
they can get. Zip it. They have had | 2:50:03 | 2:50:07 | |
just a couple of hours to learn,
rehearse and... Perfect the song. I | 2:50:07 | 2:50:14 | |
have no idea what I am singing.
Louise is worried. The words keep | 2:50:14 | 2:50:19 | |
going out of my brain. It is only
two lines. It is ridiculous and | 2:50:19 | 2:50:24 | |
embarrassing. There you go! Guiding
our presenters the remarkably | 2:50:24 | 2:50:35 | |
patient leader of Manchester
inspirational voices, Wayne | 2:50:35 | 2:50:36 | |
Ellington. Really do bring a good
sense of joy into what you're doing. | 2:50:36 | 2:50:45 | |
He has a great way of making you
feel like you're Diana Ross. | 2:50:45 | 2:50:52 | |
# Every mother's child... When
you're clearly not, when you are a | 2:50:52 | 2:50:57 | |
dying cat. He is an amazingly
optimistic man. | 2:50:57 | 2:51:03 | |
Because he sees talent where we are
not seeing talent. | 2:51:03 | 2:51:11 | |
# Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
LAUGHTER | 2:51:11 | 2:51:16 | |
So for the ladies. Wayne has been a
wizard. A magician. | 2:51:16 | 2:51:24 | |
# Every mother's child is going
to... Take wane out of the equation, | 2:51:24 | 2:51:30 | |
we are all in trouble.

# Joy to the world
# Sing joy to the world. The concert | 2:51:37 | 2:51:41 | |
has started. Wayne and his choir

Meanwhile, backstage... Apparently
Mike has taken my trousers. | 2:51:50 | 2:51:55 | |
# And every mother's child is going
to spy... He has just put my | 2:51:55 | 2:52:03 | |
trousers on and walked out. Sound
awful, doesn't it. It is lovely. | 2:52:03 | 2:52:09 | |

Charlie, do you want to borrow my | 2:52:09 | 2:52:16 | |

his sleigh. You randomly pick up
other people's trousers. That is | 2:52:22 | 2:52:29 | |
enough, we need to get ready. Bye.
Minutes to go, Wayne gathers the | 2:52:29 | 2:52:38 | |
presenters for a final pep talk.
Should anything go out of place, any | 2:52:38 | 2:52:43 | |
notes, and you have to You randomly

Minutes to go, Wayne gathers the
presenters for a final pep talk. | 2:52:49 | 2:52:51 | |
Should anything go out of place, any
notes, and you have to tighten up, | 2:52:51 | 2:52:54 | |
keep your "s on me. -- eyes on me. I
hope they will feel comfortable and | 2:52:54 | 2:52:57 | |
be OK. I just hope.
BBC Sing. Goodness me. We will see | 2:52:57 | 2:53:00 | |

I am nervous. Why did we agree to | 2:53:00 | 2:53:13 | |
