What did you think of The One Show? Guest: Cerys Matthews
Adrian and Christine were joined in the studio tonight by Welsh singer Cerys Matthews.
Our 'photo of the day' is of Katherine Jenkins with David Cameron after The Andrew Marr Show.
PLEASE add your genuine first name and location to your comment if you'd like it to be read out.
Also on tonight's programme: After the Irish voted in favour of the Lisbon Treaty, closening their ties with the EU this weekend, Gyles Brandreth examined our attitudes to Europe.
Selling your car can sometimes be a frustrating process. Lucy Siegle met a One Show viewer who has fallen victim to a vehicle matching scam.
In the first of our films on Spooky Science, Michael Mosley looked at 'Sleep Paralysis'. Some scholars believe may account for the night-time alien abduction reports.
At Merseyside Maritime Museum, Arthur Smith began his series about the history of words, starting with nautical terms.
What did you think of the show? Let us know below.

How funny. Full on anti-Tory programme tonight and pushing the BBC's line on the EU. But Brandreth just slipped and gave the game away - it is the creation of a superstate. So much for Freedland and the BBC's denials of such a creation. Forsythe is right. Westminster is now little more than a rubber stamp. It's also important to mention that since the creation of NATO, a mutual defence pact, that there has been no European wide war in Europe. But neither did the EU stop the Yugoslavian wars which required NATO to step in.
But what no one will discuss especially the BBC is the undemocratic nature of the EU and the constitution. We may get a President and Foreign Minister of Europe speaking in our name both of whom exercise power without the democratic consent of the people of Britain nor continental Europe. This isn't progress. It's medieval. We already wrestled power from an absolute monarch and the delusions of European aggressors for which millions of Britain have given their lives to achieve and defend. And now we are just going to give it all up without the people having any say at all (as was promised by Labour and the Lib Dems in their manifestos). And the polls show that two thirds of the electorate across party lines want a vote on the constitutional future of our country.
How can anyone keep a straight face on the BBC when they complain about sharp practises, corruption and fraud in business and especially the banks when no self respecting accountant has signed the accounts of the EU for 18 consecutive years. 18 years!!

Sorry Gyles you are talking a lot of rubbish. I started working with the EU (EEC) back in 1965 and still live on the Swiss/Italian border 50 kms from mz previous place of work. The man in the street is no different from the British person. They are above all Italians, French, German, Belgians, Dutch etc. European rarely comes into it. They are not all happy, by a long way, being governed from Brussels with an unelected President. The majority of my nearest neighbours, the Italians,blame Europe and particulkarly the Euro for their economic plight and not their central government. If you, Gyles, have read all the 200 pages you will realise that it is not democratic. One important example is all the UK expats are disenfranchised by the UK government after 15 years and have no vote in Europe despite being born there. Meanwhile anyone with an Italian ancestor in theory has the right to vote even if they have never even seen Italy. The disenfranchisement is a UK law but if we have an united Europe then the law must be equal for everyone and within the Lisbon Treaty this is not the case.

Why does Adrian pejoratively call Cameron posh? Is it his Eton education like Sir Matthew Pinsent, James Landale, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Bill Turnbull, Hugh Laurie, Sir Ranulph Fiennes, Adam Hart-Davis and many more? I haven't heard Adrian call them posh. What about all the other public school alumni Adrian could call posh such as Al Murray, David Dimbleby, Jeremy Paxman, Rageh Omaar, John Cleese, John Inverdale, Simon Cowell, Dom Joly, Chris Lowe, Clement Attlee, Richard Curtis, James Blunt, Sir Tim Rice, Jamie Theakston, MONTY DON (tomorrow's show), Frank Gardner, Hugh Pym, Jeremy Clarkson, Chris Martin, Michael Palin, Stephen Fry (National Treasure), Johnny Vaughan, Rory Bremner, Will Young, Peter Snow, Hardeep Singh Kohli, Carol Smillie, Sir Chris Hoy, Martha Kearney, Gavin Esler, Ken Stott, Nicky Campbell, Colin Montgomerie, KT Tunstall, Robbie Coltrane and Hugh Gaitskell. Just the tip of the iceberg of well known names who have attended public schools. Is it Cameron's Oxford education? To make a list of the famous and the BBC employees who are Oxbridge alumni would never end.
This doesn't even cover the Labour and Lib Dem politicians who are all either public school or Oxbridge alumni including Tony Blair, Alistair Darling, Ruth Kelly, Harriet Harman, Nick Clegg, Chris Huhne, Paddy Ashdown, Tonny Benn and many, many more.
I would suggest it was casual bigotry from Adrian but it always seems to be aimed at Conservatives or right wingers. Just my licens money paying for so called BBC balance and impartiality.

His mention of England was, I believe specific, in that he was suggesting the Scots, N.Irish and the Welsh have a different viewpoint.
Remember that a presenter is N.Irish, the guest Welsh and if any offence had been taken, then Cerys Mathews would have certainly defended her corner. I too am watching from North of the border and get very disappointed at the insecurity of some of my countrymen when the perceived English/ British slight crops up.

I watched Giles report - I could never stand the bloke before watching him on the One show and now I think he's one of their best contributors - I thought actually it was pretty fair minded considering he used to be a Tory mp and I doubt he's naturally pro-European. He explained things for the layman, who frankly cant be bothered to read 200 pages of the Lisbon Treaty to see what its all about - like me. Christine was right, half the trouble is that people dont understand Europe and what it means for us - they react to the emotional language which is usually used especially in some sections of the press. A rational debate, giving both sides of the argument, to allow us to make up our minds, is whats required.
And I dont think having a caption competition is anti-Tory any more than having a Pope-lookalike is anti-Catholic. Folks need to lighten up! Its meant to be a fun show.

Indeed a fun show ... but then a light hearted look at giving away our sovereignty away to Europe presented with a feel good factor brainwashing technique! Presenting such disinformation in the middle of a fun show is nto right. Is this show paid for by the EU? If not then why bow down to it? If presenters have not got a clue about politics then why have them teaching it?
We have forgotten our history. Britian was ruled by foreign Popes in the past and it was a rip off so now we have Magna Carta to protect usfollowed by our excellent Bill of Rights, Act of Settlement, Protestant Constitution but all this is swept away by Europe who now rule over us at great cost and laws that say, "You can't do anything unless we say so!". The Old British law meant you could do what you liked unless there was a law against it. We had freedom. Now this godless country is coming under God's judgement of harsh European Law and Sharia Law. We don't even understand what the other people in Europe say so we are going to get ripped off badly. They all understand English but then they can talk in their own languages behind our backs and we don't understand a word. What a foolsh country we are. And now The One Show goes along with it all. O yes it will be so good, we don't need a referendum. We don't need to think. The message should be "love your neighbours", not "give away all your rights to them". You can love foreigners without haveing to let them rule you! Fools! This is irresponsible brainwashing pretending to be public broadcasting

Re #199: jadedoldie,
My thoughts exactly.
Besides, in my opinion, none of these so called captions is even remotely humorous, That is at least those that I have had the stamina to study as I ploughed through what appeared to be a never ending list of excruciating banality. However, to be fair, there may be a clever one in there somewhere? By this puerile exercise the show's producer has achieved her aim to deflect criticism.

Re 202: my 'friend' is back on again bemoaning godlessness (and connections to loss of freedom/breakdown of society etc) and how all religions different to his are wrong (when they're all as bad as each other)... ll this talk about brainwashing when the biggest brainwasher of them all is religion. I don't think we need to be scared of Europe in the way to which some poeople attest - OK, some barminess is evident but now and in the past Europe has much to be proud of.

The scientific terms for waking dreams are hypnogogic, or hypnopompic, hallucinations, depending on the direction of the transient state. They normally occur when someone is emotionally under par. Sleep paralysis is a side effect I do not suffer. Movement jerks me awake and the apparition disappears. Such was the case one Christmas when I awoke to find the man in the next room standing before me.
The Twilight Zone is that space between sleeping and waking where we have paranormal dreams that seem like reality, but differences can be spotted. One night I levitated towards the ceiling, but it had a different pattern. I must have been dozing when I had that dream. With my Christmas manifestation there were no decorations.
Outside psychological vagaries ghosts are energy imprints of past events whose intensity fades over time. They can be seen on different levels, indicating where the ground used to be. The figures do not interact and repeat the same actions. Therefore they are not spirits of the dead. The soul does not leave us on death, but our energy, probably merging with the natural energies.
Poltergiests are excess energy from hyper-active adolescents. True psychic ability is merely intuition connecting with energies, giving impressions and sensations. These act as additional information to make more accurate predictions. This normally occurs in a highly charged emotional state.
Twenty years ago these theories were exclusively mine in my microcosm and caused discomfort to others. I was diagnosed as a paranoid obsessive and told to take more medication, while Christians raved on about angels and demons. Mystics and the bereaved believed in the other side. How primitive, how psychotic!

Host Ryan or whoever decides these things: PLEASE don't do this again and link nonsnse to the main site. Agree with other bloggers who have pointed out the pain of wading through jovial (if puerile) captions just to see real comments on last night's show.Let those who want to enjoy having fun putting a caption to a silly photo but please don't link it to the main site. There were a lot of inanities to scroll through and I gave up after the first dozen.

Congratulations to Giles Brandreth for talking sense about Europe. Nice to see and hear Cerys Matthews HOWEVER when will someone tackle the myths of British history? The Kings of England were Norman, Cerys; and it was those Vikings from N France that invaded Wales - as they also did Ireland and I suppose Scotland on a few occasions. English footsoldiers and archers were there but they probably had no choice in the matter.

I jumbled my own a minute ago. Actually did not understand the term QED, so I poked gentle fun.

re #219: johnfrum,
Dispute over Michael Caine? Probably, I've had a dispute with several people over the months. That's half the fun of this blog.

Glad to hear it Johnholyer. I have a sneaking suspicion the "POSH URBAN MYTH" obsessive does not know what he is talking about

Re "Posh Urban Myth" obsessive:
In the 1890s "posh" referred to a dandy, possibly in relation to a fictitious character called Murray Posh. As far back as 1830 it was a term used for money.
This was thought to have derived from a Romany word for half, originally being applied to the halfpenny.
