What did you think of The One Show? Guest: Matthew Kelly
Adrian and Christine were joined by actor and TV presenter Matthew Kelly.
Matt Allwright visited the Isle of Lewis and discussed how a proposed Sunday ferry service would affect the Scottish island.
Matthew took us on a tour around Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in London.
Sandi Toksvig explored Britain's fascination with crime fiction. One Show viewers have sent in the first 25 words of their murder-mysteries. Read the opening lines, and pick us some writing tips here.
And finally, it was Mike Dilger's last day at Tiggywinkles wildlife rescue centre. Watch Mike's films here.
Have a great weekend, we'll see you on Monday.

Adrian, I'm sitting here in Wigan and I do care about phone tapping, it's a giant invasion of privacy.
What next breaking into celebrities houses and rummaging through their drawers?

Of course many people care about phone tapping. Don't forget the press only a decade ago was in trouble for its use of 'the black arts', such as bindiving outside people's homes, and paying for information obtained illegally. This is all criminal activity, and it is normally done in search of scandal and personal issues in celebrities lives - stuff that ISN'T is in the public interest, and damages lives.
In other words, people care about it for the same reasons they care about crime rates - the people affected are still human beings.
I don't live in Wigan though, I live in Salisbury.

What a surprise that the One Show mentions the phone hacking (not tapping) :-0
Of course no mention of Damian McBride at the time who was acting disreputably while under the employ of Gordon Brown (And who is still advising Brown). Also during April there was a class warfare dig at 'posh' polticians - I wonder who that was aimed at.
BBC, institutionally bias to the core.

Interestingly the BBC also show their grudge against Rupert Murdoch but fail to mention that it was the Mail (1218 instances editor Paul Dacre - chairing one of Gordon Brown's committees) and the Mirror papers (824 instances, Labour through and through). Murdoch papers 258 instances. And let's not forget the Guardian's sister paper, The Observer 103 instances.

Adrian seems to have a low opinion of us viewers!
I'm sure the vast majority of people would be upset if his or anybody elses privacy was invaded.
Whoever you are you should be free to use your mobile or any other means of communication in the full knowledge that the law will protect you from snoopers.
I'm with Matthew Kelly. Lets hope those who've been involved in this nasty digging for dirt are fully exposed and somehow the whole business prevented in the future.

Dear Adrian
the story of the island that keeps Sunday as Sabbath are in error,
they are really paying homage Rome the day of the sun which came about in 321 AD by Constantine. The real and true (God's) Sabbath is Saturday, and always will be. Some will say that Saturday Sabbath is for the Jews but the Sabbath was in place before there was a Jewish nation, Sabbath was at Creation. Jesus himself said that "the Sabbath was made for man" Since when was the word Jew spelt MAN.

As a non-denominational hebridean I am fed up of seeing people who choose to come and live in the Islands trying to change the way of life here instead of respecting the customs and traditions. If they don't like the way we live then they can go back to the mainland where they can go to cinemas and sports centres on Sunday's to their heart's delight. If ferry crews and port staff are happy to work on Sunday then I have no problem with a Sunday ferry to take people on and off the Island, but once here - PLEASE respect the way of life instead of trying to turn this special place into a replica of mainland communities. We're an island community, we're different and we like it that way!

You had the author Andrew Taylor on your show and asked him one question - the whole interview must have taken at least 1 and a half minutes. Why bother? Such an interesting and brilliant man. You, however prefer to concentrate on sad comedy sketches performed by your staff -it is really pathetic to dress people up with beards and wigs to emulate your other guest - should have been shown on CBeebies.
As for Adrian, he is really losing it. He sits with his legs wide open and his mouth in the same position. At least Christine looks fairly interested though her script is poor.The show is patronising and juvenile. Pity. You really could do better. Shame on you all.

Was great having my email read by the great Matthew Kelly, have been a long term viewer and that was the first time I felt compelled to enter a competition so thought I would give the site a look up. Adrian's reaction was great and made me laugh loads. Matthew kelly's reading was exactly how I wanted it to be read and it was just a laugh- Adrian if you are reading this- high 5! I will Youtube it on Monday :)

Maeder everything you complain about is what makes The One Show great! To be entertained while being informed, rather than just plain facts. I am 19 so I guess I do find what you call, 'juvinile' funny, but I am also a media student and want a laugh watching the crew and thier antics. Do you really want it to be as boring and bland as BBC Bitesize?

Having lived on the Isle of Lewis and Harris I think it is wonderful that in this day and age Sunday is kept holy and is part of the attraction of the Isle.
If people don't like this tradition maybe they should think about moving as the tradition has been there a lot longer than them.
No ferries or shops or anything else except churches and hotels should be open on a Sunday.
It is a shame that other places don't have the strength to follow suit.

It was good to see Hardip Singh Kholi back. His essay on the the future composition of the House Of Lords was well thought through. I warmed to his style. I found his argument convincing. He was subjected to some intelligent and challenging questioning. He defended his argument well. I would like to see HSK presenting similar future items.
Hold on I've got a bit mixed up here. This was not on The One Show. It was on the 'Daily Politics' on BBC 2. Never mind, perhaps The One Show can invite HSK to do something similar for them? In the meantime I am sure that HSK fans will be pleased to know that he has moved up in the world - sorry strike that I meant to say - is also on other programmes.

Re 12's response to 10: Yes, I agree. I like the show for its eclectic mix of items, from the sublime to the ridiculous; and it gives us bloggers a welcome chance to interact about them, whether we agree with what we see or not.
Having said that, tonight's show was not too noteworthy after a run of quite interesting shows. Re: Sunday & comment 13 - it would be great if we lived in a world where the churches are not open on a Sunday or any other day... a world without religious nonsense.

RE: 16 I agree about the blogging. It's really nice that they do not delete the negative comments. I think we are all entitled to believe what we want to believe and traditions should be allowed to be maintained if the area wishes them to do so. In a world where the only certainty is death, can you blame people for trying to find a meaning to it all?

No 8 NurseJanie asked if there were any objections against nurses working on the Sabbath the answer in a word is, "No." Hospitals don't shut just because it's Sunday.
Crofters too will have livestock to attend to this is accepted.
When I was on holiday with my parents on the Isle of Coll on Saturday we went to the beach, as we could do nothing on the Sunday my Grandpa went to Church twice every Sunday and the only book allowed was the Bible.
Meals prepared day before, no games, no radio (we got electricity in 1975 oooh!) no cutting nails and I haven't even hit 45 yet and I can remember it.
We now have a Sunday Boat I think it's called progress.

RE:19. Whilst i agree that most developing rural areas do need some Sunday services to remain open, I think shops should remain closed. I am 19 and remember a simpler time when everyone simply relaxed on a Sunday. Now most people I know have a weekend job as well as a weekday one, not me. I will always relax on a Saturday and Sunday. I am not religious - I just think the weekend should mean the weekend, not rushing about and stressing ourselves out.

Re 20: yes, the idea of a day or two (or three?) each week to do as one pleases, to relax etc, is most sensible.
Re 18: created for Man by Man - I would say in order to try to make sense of or find some meaning in the (ultimately meaningless) world in which we live.

Re #21 skyviewer,
Do you assume that everyone's world is ultimately meaningless?
If so I suppose you would argue that it is consequently futile for the rest of us to search for a meaning?
If so,then philosophers throughout the ages have been wasting their time in searching for a meaning in the meaningless?
How very sad. All that deep penetrating thought gone to waste.

While our feet were yet still tapping
To the One Show tune
Adrian plunges us straight into deep end
With the latest scandal - that of the press
And phone tapping
Our studio guest
Matthew Kelly no less
Is all for, as per the poiticians expenses
Not leaving any stone unturned
And getting to the bottom of it
(The scandal not the bathing pool!)
Especially if it's Adian's phone
Thats in question
Or even Matthew's own
With the weekend in prospect
Adrian next wishes us a restful sunday
Even though our nations so called day of rest
Is now an old fashioned notion
And for many of us in the UK is more or less
Now not much different to Monday
On the Isle of Lewes however
They still abide by the fourth commandment namely
To keep the Sabboth holy
No work, no sport, no supermarket
Not even any cinema
On the contrary there they choose to mark it
By church attendance
Strict Presbyterianism
With a thousand worshpping brethren
Now the ferry wants to sail to Lewes on Sundays
Like any other day
Not very (ferry!) funny
And decidedly worrying for the strict Sunday observers
And the Western Isles Council
Who fear the floodgates opening to all and sundry
To business, industry and every sort of unholy activity
A quandry -
Is the 24/7 lifestyle, especially in these credit-cruch days
Really the way ahead
Or should we be freshly readopting the Lewes way instead?
Challenged about his Sunday
Matthew Kelly
With Stars in his Eyes and acting in his blood
Though not a churchman
Religiously doesn't like change
He loves community
Churchgoing, Christianity
Morality
And the way things used to be
Matt's comment
Broaching the vexed subject
Of right and wrong was , according to Adrian
"A bit profound for the One Show"
He also couln't get his head around
How Matthew could go
From Game for a Laugh straight into Cold Blood
Leading us nicely on to
The art of creating gripping
Crime Fiction
"As soon as you have a corpse
You have a potential story"
We were told by our who-dunnit expert
Whilst interviewer Sandy Toksvig
Was "Not so much into 'who dunnit' but 'why'"
The acid test:
The thing we all agreed on though was our desire
To always want to know what happens next
Back for the last time to Tiggywinkles
Where we revisit poorly foxy, so thin
And with irritating skin
Poor thing
But gladly, albeit slowly, now on the mend
Baldy Spud is growin some spikes/prickles
He has surely tickled us - the little tyke
And o dear - now 3 legged deer
Humanely darted ready for forced immigration
To a new and better location
I think by a raiway station
Plummet the gannet
When released for flight, true to his name
Of course plumetted right back into the pond
More chest muscle developing swims
And diving workouts in store for him
All these defenseless creatures
(Ah bless)
Came off second best to senseless humans
Nevertheless, how good it is to see
The efforts of the St Tig's operation
And the caring people there
Being such a success

Many of us have noticed the frequent errors of fact that are broadcast on The One Show. We are also puzzled why the BBC has never broadcasted a correction. Peter Sisssons has an explanation.
Writing in The Mail on Sunday today, he says: At today's BBC, a complaint I often heard from senior producers was that they dared not reprimand their subordinates for basic journalistic mistakes - such as getting ages, dates, titles and even football scores wrong - it being politically incorrect to risk offending them.
Well I for one do not mind offending them. 'The One Show' is below standard. Adrian Chiles is not worth his 2 million a year salary. The licence payer is not getting value for money.

Post 29, where have we gone wrong? Why is it that pointing out to someone that they are inept, and unfit to fill their post is not permitted? Would the B.B.C. be so forgiving if they had to earn their funding rather than dip into the pockets of a largely reluctant population! Should the powers that be find themselves reluctant to demoralise "on screen talent" by telling them they are failing in their remit I am in the queue of licence payers ready to do so. To cover the screams of the fans who will say Chiles and Bleakley are sooooo nice, I don't want them to be nice, I want them to do what they are overpaid for, and that does not include self indulgent scenes, and a constant stream of misinformation!

HSK. I do not know the facts of this case. Consequently, I cannot make a judgement. But I cannot overlook the possibility that HSK has been stitched up. Some may have feared his strong screen presence that frequently overshadowed others with a lesser talent. Many of us would have liked to see HSK take over as the presenter of The One Show. Clearly, that cannot happen now. So the job is safe. I am not interested in an artist's private life. I only care about their talent and there ability to entertain, educate and inform. In this respect HSK is capable of much better things than The One Show.

RE #45 HSK
I am puzzled by the the BBC statement that the researcher in question did not make a formal complaint. In that case who did complain. Did someone else complain on her behalf?
Here is the Telegraph article in full:
"BBC suspends Hardeep Singh Kohli after female researcher's complaint.
Hardeep Singh Kohli, the BBC presenter, was suspended from the One Show after "stepping over the mark" with a female researcher.
He has been removed from the weekday evening programme for six months after she lodged a complaint about his behaviour two months ago.
Kohli, 39, said he had apologised "unreservedly" for his behaviour after being hauled before bosses.
"Nobody has accused me of sexual harassment. I recognise I over stepped the mark and have apologised unreservedly," he said.
A BBC spokeswoman said: "Producers of The One Show received a complaint regarding Hardeep's behaviour towards a production colleague.
"She made no formal complaint and has acknowledged that One Show management took the issue extremely seriously.
"He was reprimanded and immediately apologised. He agreed to take some time away from the show to reflect on his behaviour. This leave of absence has been agreed to be six months."
Kohli, a Glasgow-born father-of-two, worked as a roving reporter for the show, hosted by Adrian Chiles and Christine Bleakley.
He has appeared in a number of other programmes, most recently Famous, Rich and Homeless, since being taken on as a trainee for the corporation in Scotland.
He previously directed the children's TV programme It'll Never Work.
Kohli's suspension only applies to The One Show and not other BBC programmes, the corporation said.
It is the latest scandal to hit the One Show. In February, Carol Thatcher was fired after allegedly referring to a tennis player as a "Golliwog" off-air".

Re Hardeep - was shocked to read about this over the weekend. I always enjoyed him on the show. I can't really say anything as I don't know the facts. I'm just puzzled about the whole thing re him being off the show for six months/saying he was not accused of sexual harassment/no formal complaint.
As stated above, yes, there won't be many left at this rate!
And re not being able to reprimand for mistakes - sad but not surprising; it occurs in all walks of life. One's hands are tied all the time with a possibility of action being taken if one pulls up someone for this sort of thing.
On a lighter note - re 37 - geordie angel: LOL - your son and I have something in common, it seems.
