Anita Rani explored whether cases of stalking are dealt with seriously enough by the police. Useful links here.
Wednesday 1st July marks the 40th anniversary of Prince Charles' investiture as the Prince of Wales. Comedian and presenter Rhod Gilbert gave us a brief history of the role and asked whether the Prince of Wales ought to be a Welshman.
The Pontcysyllte aqueduct in north east Wales has recently been named as the UK's latest World Heritage site. Our history expert Dan Snow paid it a visit.
And Dr. Sarah Jarvis looked at the common complaint of varicose veins.
Also: Many thanks to everyone who's sent in a photo of their artwork into The One Show's Summer Exhibition. Find out more here.

The item on stalking is all very hypocritical when the BBC have spent hundred of thousands of pounds on lawyers protecting the identity of a BBC female presenter who has harassed a former partner by making dozens of false rape claims and who the police describe as a nuisance and is wasting police time.

How often am I paying my 69p to the Queen, weekly, monthly?? and what am I getting for it, a boring speech on Xmas day, I want my money back. Nice to see Tom Jones.

Re 2: geordie angel
The 69p is the total amount each taxpayer contributed in the last year (the cost was £40m to the population). However, this amount does not include security by the army & police and the ceremonial duties carried out by the Armed Forces, and some estimates put the true cost at £150m (which would work out at about £2.60 per year per taxpayer).
I see the BBC have once again this evening adopted the idiotic policy of switching the tennis from BBC2 (where it was ticking along nicely) to BBC1 (where the programmes had been ticking along nicely). If it ain't broke, fix it...

Why does the pound sign appear as a square in these postings?

On the One Show 29 June 09, the article about the Dee aqueduct was, quite informatively introduced by Christine, as as "CIVIL" engineering project. In his presentation, however, Dan Snow seemed quite content to continually refer to it as an "engineering" project. Now, there are many, many branches of "engineering" in this world and, as Dan Snow seemed quite oblivious to which of the engineering professions he was speaking, the viewing public remained in ignorance of the noble profession of civil engineering. Unfortunately it is an ignorance most prevalent in this country and reports such as Snow's do not help. Perhaps the report would have been better had Snow thought more about using the correct descriptive adjective for this specific branch of engineering and less about his athletic prowess!?

Sorry Adrian, Christine, all
Tonight you came second
To a tennis ball
Red faced
Disgraced
I've stuck with One
So missed live chat from Uncle Tom
(Jones, I mean, not Cobbly and co
Though
You never know
With this old show)
But thanks to BBC technology
I neednt make a big apology
As equipped with BBC I-player
Ill watch the show a little later
Once Andy Murray has done his stuff
And entertained the crowds enough
While on screen, Andy
Holds his fire
May I
Quickly now enquire
How dyou like your new show name
The Two Show doesnt quite ring the same
Though, no need to kick up a commotion
About your one-night-long demotion
Tomorrow youll be on One again
And resume your more familiar name
No
I cant watch tennis
And compose
So Ill finish this later
I suppose
To be continued
I must say
And back to Wimbledon
OK?

sky-viewer post 4, glad its just yearly, as you can tell I'm not a royalist. £ my pound sign seems o/k.

P.S my pound sign was fine till I submitted my posting, then it changed???
Complain about this comment
The only problem I have with the royal family is that the Queen keeps putting herself out on my account to look after the National Treasures in the various establishments in which they are kept. I assume as they are called National Treasures then a part of them belongs to me. I will willingly care for my share myself [all the way to Sothebys] if given the chance lol£££

Re 8/9:
Yes - it's only once the message is sent that the pound signs appear like this. Most odd!! Maybe some computer whizz kids can shed some light. I have seen this before in other peoples' postings and concluded that there must be a problem with it. This is the first time I have sent a message with includes a pound sign.
I'm not a royalist either... but I did like the Queen Mum.

jadedoldie post 10, you may have to stand in line, much of the national treasure comes from other countries, the Star of India for example, so if these other countries want their stuff back, you will have to wait your turn.

There you are you see, gone the way of the Empire we fought for geordieangel2,lol.

sky-viewer, post 11, I liked Queen Mum too, but as a person not a royal.

Surely it was not beyond the wit of Jon Snow and Adrian Chiles to show a modicum of professionalism and cultural courtesy by pronouncing "Froncysyllte" correctly! Both mangled the name unforgivably. Surely they realise that our licence money pays to run the BBC's Pronounciation Unit.
Complain about this comment
My annoyance at the 1 Show's poor Welsh pronounciation and the late hour caused me to mistakenly quote the aqueduct as Froncysyllte (brassiere in Welsh) rather the correct Pontcysyllte :))
Complain about this comment
posts 15, 16, rhysew, do the BBC have a pronunciation unit, its hard to tell, I myself would struggle with Welsh, but! I'm not on telly am I?
Complain about this comment
Post16 rhysew, the presenters of most B.B.C. programmes, including the news, have a problem with English let alone any other language. The lack of grammatical knowledge is dreadful,and makes me wonder what level of education some of these people have reached. Surely for a prestigious[?] institution such as the B.B.C.familiarity with the mother tongue of this country should be of prime concern!

The Queen has no power yet all power is devolved from the Queen. The strength and purpose of a constitutional monarchy lies not in the power that the Queen has; but in the power that she denies to anyone else, such as a would be dictator. HM Forces and the police swear an oath of allegiance to the the Queen, and not to the Government. We should not view everything through the purblind lens of cost benefit analysis.
If you want a different Head Of State then muse on John Prescott.

.It couldnt have been much better
The tennis I mean a five setter
So I felt it was alright
To abandon The One Show for just one night
Now having watched
Last nights show on I-player
On this occasion
May I make the following observation
A good programme all in all
One worthy of recall
Jones songs - you dont forget in a hurry
Do you
(Toms not Aleds in this instance)
Delilah
Its not unusual either
His Tomness to quote Christine
His demeanour it was pristine
With that laid-back cheeky grin
Hairs upon his chin
And that lovely SWalean touch
To quote him
Re the foody clip they watched
He said he didnt go in the kitchen much!
Tom told us of his stalker
Obsessive, possessive
(She sounded quite a corker)
While his fellow Pontypridders
(Pronounced Ponty - preeth ers)
Some true Prince of Wales believers
Told us, maybe just to please us
How much they loved the Windsors
They were happy with Charles in charge
And then we moved to barges.
How to cross the Dee Valley by canal?
The solution - the aqueduct
Which in the worlds annals
Was the highest ever
Of this sort of construct
William Jessop. Thomas Telford
Names not to be forgotten
We must thank 'em
For these and all the many other advances
Like bridging and such
That proudly for us
They have gotten.
More chat with our studio guest
About Jacko and Elvis
Tom confessed
His sadness about their loss
Wise words from him
About drink and drugs the cost
Then in a different vein
Varicose ones by name
For cure
Which to choose
For sure
Surgery, laser or injection
Thats the question?
Finally the all important advert
For Toms tour
In October
Christine quickly needed to ask
Answer -
It's starting in Cardiff
(And The green green grass of home)
Ending in Belfast
Yes the Bleakley's home town last
But not least
The venues between
As yet unknown

It's still 69p or £2.60 too much whichever way it's valued.
