# we're back up in the woods among the evergreens. # there stood a log cabin made of earth and wood. # where lived a country boy named johnny b goode.# # 0h, maybelline...#. half of the young people go to school so that's why i wrote about school, i wrote about cars and most of all — the people, if not now, they'll soon be in love. # it's a jumping little record i want myjockey to play. # roll over beethoven, i got to hear it again today #. and you, monsieur, are the famous simon templar. but what about brother vincent? supposing he notices something he thinks clinton should know about. mr...? bond. james bond. is there time before we leave
1:32 pm
for lesson number three? absolutely. there's no sense in going off half—cocked. stir in some crushed ice, shake, strain and pour. top it off with one olive. two. did you say something? i said two. you were perfect up until the olives. two olives. that way you see they can gently bounce up against each other. i'm afraid the spectacle of two olives gently bouncing up against each other is a pleasure i shall forego. oh, you don't want to bust up a pair. we played it tongue in cheek, as i play most heroes. i really don't see myself as a hero, although i play them. so i'd play it as if it is all a joke. a house with a door. one, two, three, four.
1:33 pm
great big curtain rings, they must have come out of a giant's house. i know what we can do with these. i will be an owl. hee—haw! our aim, we were told, was to play one to one through the camera. # up and down with your brush. and it works, that is why people remember it — because it was as if we were talking only to them. it's windy miller. hello, windy. pugh, pugh, barney mcgrew, cuthbert, dibble, grubb. mrjohn noakes! i'm sure this does me good. 0h, get off my foot. well, our animals are going to be
1:34 pm
happy, they will be going away on holiday too, they're going to spend it in the country. but lulu won't be there. at this level, the plinth on which nelson stands overhangs the column. i found myself literally hanging from the ladder with nothing beneath me. once i had reached the top of the column the worst part began, i had to go down again, in a bosun‘s chair. are you coming down tojoin me? yes, i'm coming down. do you feel all right? yes, i feel good. no shep, don't bite him. he's a nice fella. get down shep, keep still, boy. do as you're told. come here. get down, shep, behave yourself or i'll cuff you around the ear. # john could never be alone, no matter where he went. # because shep would have a sniff around and soon pick up the scent. byjove, i've just jumped out of this aeroplane and 50,000
1:35 pm
feet and get down shep! i'm upside down! hello, welcome to a special bank holiday edition of cheggers plays pop. how long did it take you to record the album. between two and three years. that's a long time. do you have any ideas of what you would like to swap it for? i'm back again. 14 years at the bbc. swapshop, cheggers plays pop, all sorts. i happened to miss a bus one christmas evening and went into a london store and saw this toy bear on the counter, nobody had bought it, it was the only one left, i took it home to my wife, we lived near paddington so we decided to call it paddington. one day i was sitting with a blank
1:36 pm
sheet of paper and a typewriter and started to write a story about it and i became a book. mr and mrs brown first met paddington on a railway station which is how he came to have such an unusual name for a bear. based on my father, very polite man, always wore a hat and paddington has a lot of him in him. good afternoon, he said, can i help you? there's parsley. sometimes mr 0nion lets him ring the school bell. hello, parsley! # london, a lovely city. # you can go to france or america. # india, asia, australia. # you're gonna come back to london city. # london is the place for me. i think there was a sort
1:37 pm
of reticence and nervousness that the women might take over altogether. we might not present an acceptable face of cricket and i actually cried as i walked out onto the pitch. it was the most incredible feeling. rachel flynt, what a good piece of fielding but not good running between the wickets, though. advantage miss graf. 0vercome with the emotion of it all. she just told me "jana, you will do it, i believe one day you will do it." she's done it!
1:38 pm
scores read out. after our last programme, the editor of final score came with a box and when he opened it and pulled out this trophy, i thought that's absolutely made my day because that is something that i have always thought, having watched the sports personality of the year, i would love to have something like that as a souvenir of my career. grandstand theme. batman theme.
1:39 pm
it was a two—piece but it was itchy and someone had to zip up the back. i had to fumble for a long time to get out of the suit. if i wanted to go to the bathroom, somebody had to be there. what now! our parents were slaughtered with the others. that is why, that is why we tried to kill. that is why, that is why! we need a team. paul, you'll assess material damage. helena, medical. victor, scientific. lori, security. put eagle 1 on the pad for me.
1:40 pm
sandra, cable communication system wide open. any response, relay it through to us. conor, you take over. english girls abroad with appealing shoulders and flowery dresses. like wallpaper on the march. that's all right too, not bad. not bad, nice face, nice figure. good teeth too. what's the matter with you. you two, where are you taking them tonight, smithfield market? are you happy, i mean really really happy happy? fantastically happy. iam.
1:41 pm
i know it's silly but sometimes it worries me, i'm so happy. i keep expecting something to come along and spoil it. daft thing, what could possibly do that? it happens sometimes in an actor's life, if you are very very lucky that something special turns up. ready steady go. and when i read last of the summer wine i thought, this is it. yes, this is it, this is it, you can see tollgate church. i'm sorry, gromit, the fact is i am just crackers about cheeses. # although i cry.
1:42 pm
1:43 pm
look what i've got! hey, i've got a match for my dog, we saw it in this antiques shop window on nightingale street. where are you going, jack? to see a man about a thing. i wouldn't have done that it was an emergency. i've bought my own flaming dog. calm down vera love. 48 quid. that miserable so—and—so only gave me 25. i've never loved anybody else. come on, say you've never loved anybody else. i've never loved anybody else, shall i go and get your slippers? please. i wish that at that time i had been older, so that i would have been able to have answered or spoke up for myself. you move like a racehorse.
1:44 pm
you walk like a derby winner. you must let me help you. introduce you to some friends of mine, some photographers, film people, television people. i could do wonders with you, little baby. lam homosexual, irretrievably. why did you come here looking as you do. well, many people said don't do that, you'll never work again and i said it is not about homosexuality, it is about the tenderness of the individual as opposed to the cruelty of the crowd. a beautiful woman. you are my future selves? yes. am i having a midlife crisis? why are you pointing screwdrivers like that? they're scientific instruments,
1:45 pm
not water pistols. welcome aboard, delighted you could join us. captain strike at your service. how do you do, i'm the doctor, and this is tegan. doctor who theme plays # but where do you go to, my lovely? # when you're alone in your bed? # oh, won't you tell me the thoughts. # that surround you. # i want to look inside your head. # yes, i do. # your name, it is heard in high places. # you know the aga khan.
1:46 pm
1:47 pm
# my memory hasjust been sold. # my angel is a centrefold. # you don't come around here no more. # whatever you're looking for. # i'm free, i'm free falling #. # you can sit around and wait for the phone to ring. # waiting for someone to tell you everything. # at the end of the line #. i hold you responsible for biggins, james, it is this ragbag of fugitives from the debtors prison that should concern us. i remember a day when we did a lambing sequence through the night
1:48 pm
in the ice cold of winter, deep snow, endless frost. we few, we happy few! we band of brothers. but the removal of those grievances ought to precede the disarmament of the victims. music: reelin‘ in the years by steely dan. for such backbenchers, it's the curse of coalition politics, but the government is putting it down to the reality of an ageing and needful population.
1:49 pm
we've been shown that register and it suggests that far from lessening, the threat is greater now than at any time for the last ten years. the flood of allegations aboutjimmy savile‘s behaviour is now engulfing many of the institutions he was involved with. i think the decision to drop our story was a breach of our duty to the women who trusted us to reveal thatjimmy savile was a paedophile. # some walk by night. # some fly by day. # nothing could change you. # set and sure of the way #. # there is the sun and moon. # facing their own sweet tune. # watch them when dawn is due.
1:50 pm
# sharing one space. # we'll walk by night, babe. # we'll fly by day. # moonlighting strangers. # who just met on the way... now in the movie industry, of course, hype is good news if the film lives up to it, very bad news if it doesn't. a morally uplifting parable about faith and redemption and how naive innocence can be mistaken for wisdom begins to unfold. now it's ok, now you can let the tears flow. i probably shed a couple myself as per the very last time i bow myself out to the accompaniment of billy taylor and the best theme tune on television. film programme theme plays. and more next week.
1:51 pm
goodnight. hot favourite after wins in 1958 and ‘59, john surtees, number three. on his way to win his sixth tt and his third successive senior tt. i don't set out with definite ambitions, i just try and do my best whatever i do. in his ferrari, john surtees, number seven, going like a bomb, leading the ten cars, still in the race. # i think i love you,
1:52 pm
so what am i so afraid of? when 20, 30, 40, 50,000 people screaming at the top of their lungs, "i love you," it's so overwhelming! # i'm just a daydreamer. # walking in the rain... you just didn't expect to meet him personally. hi there. screaming. to be honest with you, i've been touring for about three, 3.5 years, and i am really tired. # ifeel like i've never known a time before... # just knowing that your door is always open. # and your path is free to walk... good evening, ladies and gentlemen, i am glenn campbell. i don't remember not having a guitar
1:53 pm
or a musical instrument in my hand, and my dad bought a guitar for $5.95, you know. # i love you... i found out real quick that it was lighter than pulling a cotton sack or ploughing. # i'm going to be where the lights are shining on me. # like a rhinestone cowboy. # riding out on a horse in a star—spangled rodeo... # i am a lineman for the county. # and i drive the main road. #iam a lineman for the county and what... drive... # drive the main roads. # yeah, looking in the sun for another overload. # i hearyou wire, i hear you ringing through the wire... oh, boy.
1:54 pm
that is just a — what a great song. # and the wichita lineman is still on the line... music: wichita lineman by glen campbell. # when i look at you. # my heart goes shooby doo. you have 55 seconds to beat the clock...starting from now. # life is the name of the game. # and i want to play the game with you... nice to see you, to see you... nice!
1:55 pm
have a twirl, darling. a gallon of scotch. a cuddly toy. didn't he do well, didn't she do well! tony blair insists that weapons of mass destruction will eventually be found in iraq. well, it would be nice to see them, to see them... nice! announcer: live from london, this is strictly come dancing. please welcome your hosts... bruce forsyth! # in other words, please be true. # in other words... # in other words, i love you. # fly me to the moon...

applause. thank you. the fourth named storm of the season is set to arrive on the last day of 2017 and will develop from this area of cloud coming from the atlantic. already the cloud moving in and we have thickening cloud of bringing rain in the south west. wetter weather moving north. much milder further south. the wind picking up overnight, rained quite heavy in the south west. more snow over the hills in scotland and may be frost and ice
1:57 pm
in the far north of scotland. but the big story is the strength of the wind developing overnight coming from stormed dylan, named by the irish metrological service. and an amberwind irish metrological service. and an amber wind warning has been issued, the biggest impact across northern parts of northern ireland and south west of scotland. up to 70 miles an hour by the morning. 60 miles an hour by the morning. 60 miles an hour or so hour by the morning. 60 miles an hour 01’ so across hour by the morning. 60 miles an hour or so across the far north of england, the west of the conditions in the morning. and potentially damaging winds combining with outbreaks of rain. further south not so outbreaks of rain. further south not so windy and dryer as well. the wind tends to come down as we head into the afternoon. some sunshine for a time but as the day goes on the bounds of showers come in and they
1:58 pm
could be quite heavy accompanied by some gusty wind. temperatures around 6 degrees, 12 in southern england. moving forward a few hours into the evening and to new year where there are still some showers around, the wind much larger in scotland for hogmanay but rather chilly. but for the first day of the new year reign moving east across southern parts of england. away from here at the wind is lighter and we have some sunshine and showers. and as we head into the early pa rt and showers. and as we head into the early part of next year often windy, very unsettled weather with the risk of some frost but the most wet and windy. this is bbc news. i'm julian worricker. the headlines at 2.00. a beatle, a bee gee and a ballerina. ringo starr and barry gibb are knighted in the new year honours — strictly judge darcey bussell is made a dame.
1:59 pm
the labour peer lord adonis, who's quit as the government's infrastructure adviser, claims brexit is infecting the entire conduct of government. and one of the really depressing things about the government at the moment, which i think is unfortunately a reflection of the brexit malaise which is sweeping whitehall, is the government has become hyper—sensitive to any criticism. thousands of iranians take to the streets of tehran in a show of support for the government, after two days of opposition protests. millennials will enjoy the biggest "inheritance boom" of any post—war generation — but not until they're into their 60s, a report says. captain steve smith scores yet another century, as australia bats out the final day to save the fourth ashes test
