00:00Hello and welcome to the start of your Wednesday evening live on The One Show with Geffen Jones
00:11and Angelica Bell and tonight's show is guaranteed to help banish the January blues as we bring you
00:17comedy stars Dawn French and Marquise some inspirational tips to kickstart your new year
00:22and Matt is back fighting for your consumer rights in the first watchdog of 2026.
00:28Yes, Storm Goretti is on its way so you may now be thinking about a summer escape to somewhere warmer.
00:36Millions are booking holidays this month so I'll be telling you about some customers left high and dry
00:41after things went wrong with a holiday rentals platform.
00:44Plus the company using people's personal details without their consent.
00:50Great, lots of fantastic advice to come and as we mentioned we'll be joined by two sitcom superstars
00:56best known for their hilarious performances in the Vicar of Dibley and Friday Night Dinner.
01:01And now Dawn French and Marquise have teamed up to play husband and wife in Can You Keep a Secret?
01:06It's a new BBC comedy airing tonight about a retired couple who get caught up in a world of crime.
01:13The secret is out tonight and if there's one man who'd uncovered them in a heartbeat,
01:18it's crime-fighting clergyman Father Brown ahead of the new series which returns this week.
01:23We head behind the scenes to find out how the drama is being brought to life
01:27with the help of the community in Blockly.
01:29Also coming up, he's interviewed some of the world's most successful people
01:33from Matthew McConaughey to Serena Wiegman
01:35and now broadcaster and best-selling author Jake Humphrey is using his insight
01:39to share how their small everyday habits could help transform your life
01:43and they're not as hard as you think.
01:45One man always making a difference to people's lives is Matt.
01:48He is here with Watchdog and he's starting with a story
01:51that will be of interest to millions of people.
01:54Ah, thanks, Kev.
01:55Yeah, after years of having been missold car finance,
01:59many drivers across the UK could be due compensation now.
02:03But if you're thinking, that's got nothing to do with me, think again.
02:07Because we're hearing from some viewers whose personal details
02:10are being used by a claims company whether they've made a claim or not.
02:14Imagine being shown a signed contract with your name on it
02:21that you've never seen before.
02:24That's exactly what's happened with some drivers
02:26who've been sent contracts by consultation claims,
02:29a company that promises to represent motorists
02:33in claims for missold car finance.
02:36But those we've spoken to say not only have they not provided
02:39the signatures in these documents,
02:41but they've never even spoken to the company before.
02:44In October, Mike from Northern Ireland got a contract
02:49and this email thanking him for signing up with consultation claims.
02:53They had all my details, date of birth, my phone number,
02:58my address, everything,
03:00and said that I'd actually electronically signed these documents,
03:05which I've never seen before.
03:06How did you respond to that?
03:08I started to think, where the hell have we got all this information from?
03:11What's more, there's one simple reason why Mike's not eligible
03:15for any car finance compensation.
03:18I've never had a car on finance.
03:19Why would I sign up to anything like that?
03:21Despite never having car finance,
03:24Mike could still be out of pocket.
03:26That's because a termination fee applies
03:29if the contract is cancelled 14 days after it was signed.
03:33A fee of £166 for every hour the company works on it
03:39to sort it out.
03:41But they want to charge for you to cancel it.
03:43How can you prove it if they've got these documents
03:45that say, you've signed this, you've signed that.
03:48There's something not right here.
03:51Unlike Mike,
03:51Jane from Bristol has had car finance
03:54and is making a claim directly through BMW.
03:58Despite that, a contract arrived,
04:00complete with the signature that was not Jane's.
04:04The contract entitled consultation claims
04:06to take up to 30% of her payout.
04:10I have absolutely never signed anything.
04:13Why should I give them my money?
04:16Online reviewers of the company
04:18say they too have had claims submitted without permission
04:21using documents they've never signed.
04:24So we took a closer look at the paperwork.
04:28In the contracts that consultation claims provide,
04:31they include an IP address, your IP address.
04:35Effectively what they're saying is
04:37this must be your signature because it came from you.
04:42But cyber security expert Graham Stewart
04:44says the IP address numbers provided
04:47aren't adding up.
04:48We looked at those IP addresses
04:50and they don't relate to anything to do
04:52with either the email address or the device.
04:55So these numbers, you feel,
04:57have been randomly generated?
04:59Yep.
05:00That means that they mean nothing?
05:02Correct.
05:03From a technical point of view,
05:04absolute nonsense.
05:06With IP addresses we can't ID
05:08and unrecognisable signatures
05:11on documents people have never seen,
05:13these contracts lack credibility.
05:15But legal expert Denise Nurse told us
05:18that people could be legally bound to these contracts
05:21if those named in them don't challenge them.
05:24So they're not to be taken lightly.
05:27I mean, the temptation is just to rip it up
05:29and ignore it.
05:30I totally understand the temptation.
05:32However, the right thing to do to protect you
05:35is to take action.
05:36So first of all, contact the company
05:38and say, I don't know anything about this.
05:41Please can you confirm that this is not me
05:44and cancel it.
05:45I would secondly contact the relevant authorities
05:47because if your signature is being purported
05:51onto a legal document,
05:53then that is very serious.
05:55Our case studies believe
05:56that this is what's been happening.
05:59If someone falsifies a document
06:02with the intent of misrepresenting something,
06:05we're straying into something
06:06that's unlawful activity
06:07and can have very serious consequences
06:09for the perpetrators.
06:12Consultation claims said that after an investigation,
06:15it found the issues had been caused
06:17by the actions of another company
06:18that supplied it with customer information.
06:22The claims company apologised to customers affected
06:25and said it was taking steps to put things right
06:27and prevent it from happening again.
06:31Consultation claims.
06:32You promised to get money back
06:34for people who are owed it,
06:36but many of the people we've spoken to
06:38say they never got in touch with you
06:40in the first place.
06:41So here's a promise for you.
06:44Unless you start doing this thing right,
06:46we won't let it lie.
06:49Do you know what?
06:49It's really scary to think you can be signed up
06:51to something without your knowledge.
06:52I know, right?
06:53There is some very good news for Mike and Jane.
06:56Since we wrote to consultation claims,
06:58both have received £150 in compensation
07:01and, most important, the firm
07:02will not be contacting them again.
07:05That's the first Watchdog win of the year, everyone.
07:09We can guarantee plenty more in 2026.
07:13If you've got a problem
07:14and you'd like us to investigate,
07:15email watchdog at bbc.co.uk
07:17or tag us at BBC Watchdog on the socials.
07:20Now, as I said, Storm Goretti is on the way,
07:24so it's no wonder that January
07:26is one of the busiest times for holiday bookings
07:28for so many people.
07:29It's the thing that you get booked in
07:31so that you have something to look forward to
07:33for half of the year.
07:35Isn't that right, Gary?
07:35Well, yeah, it's a bit gloomy this month, isn't it?
07:37Just a bit.
07:38You're just thinking about some the whole time.
07:39And like you say, something to look forward to.
07:41Yeah, we've just got to get through it.
07:43Well, there's one company
07:44which offers plenty of private holiday homes
07:46claiming to be the perfect choice for a getaway.
07:50And that company is Vrbo,
07:51a company we've mentioned before here on Watchdog.
07:54As you can see by its glossy advert,
07:55it's a marketplace for beautiful rental properties.
07:59And to give customers peace of mind,
08:01the platform offers Vrbo Care,
08:04a promise to be on call if things go wrong.
08:07But when some customers discovered
08:08their holiday homes weren't legit,
08:11they told us this support was nowhere to be seen.
08:14Angelica, tell us what happened to Hannah and her mates.
08:17OK, Hannah and her friend Gavin found a property
08:18to rent in Greece on Vrbo costing €3,650.
08:22Now, the host sent an invoice via Vrbo's messenger service
08:26and Gavin transferred the money to the named account.
08:29But just eight days before they were due to stay
08:32and already on the first leg of their holiday,
08:34the group received a message from Vrbo
08:35stating the property was falsely represented
08:38and had to be removed from the site.
08:41I mean, you'd be totally gutted after that.
08:43Yeah, absolutely.
08:44And here's the absolute shocker.
08:45Gavin then received an email saying that
08:47because the payment wasn't processed
08:49through Vrbo's official payment page on the website,
08:52the group wasn't eligible for a refund.
08:55Gutted doesn't even cover it.
08:57Holiday ruined, lost a lot of money
09:00and subsequently the support from Vrbo has been shocking.
09:07We would never book with them again.
09:08It was absolutely awful.
09:10Yeah, you can tell they're incredibly upset.
09:12And the thing is, the invoice came through the Vrbo messenger
09:16so you might think you're in the actual platform.
09:18Yeah, you would think that's where the payment was.
09:20That's what Gavin thought, certainly.
09:22And have a look at the invoice.
09:23It's really convincing.
09:24Looks like it comes from Vrbo,
09:26but unfortunately for Gavin, it was a fraudulent invoice.
09:30Vrbo told us payments should be made directly through Vrbo.com
09:34because this payment was made outside of the platform,
09:37directly to the host.
09:38They say they're not covered by Vrbo Care.
09:41Gett, tell us about Russell and Joanne from York.
09:44Russell and Joanne from York booked a house in Sydney
09:46for a family trip through Vrbo.
09:49They paid a deposit of £1,800 to the hosts.
09:51A couple of months before the trip,
09:52Joanne could no longer see the listing on Vrbo
09:54and was finally told by the host
09:56that the booking was in fact cancelled.
09:58When she asked Vrbo about a refund,
10:00it told her to contact the host
10:02and then her credit card provider.
10:04Joanne says no further support was offered
10:05and at no point did Vrbo inform her
10:08the listing had been removed.
10:10So a close call for Joanne there.
10:12I mean there's a chance that she and the family
10:13could have gone the other side of the world
10:15to Australia and found the accommodation wasn't there.
10:18Big question is here, did she get her money back?
10:21Well luckily for Joanne and Russell,
10:23the bank refunded them personally.
10:25I'd want it the other way round.
10:27Vrbo sorts it, failing that.
10:29The credit card or your charge card,
10:31if it's a debit card, charge back then,
10:33is your backup.
10:35Since we got involved, I'm pleased to say
10:37Vrbo has reimbursed Hannah and Gavin
10:40and their mates the €3,650.
10:44Vrbo told us it's sorry.
10:46It takes fraud seriously, it says,
10:47and continues to invest in technology
10:49to eliminate fraudulent activity.
10:51The good news is both property hosts
10:53have now been suspended from the platform.
10:56If you are using Vrbo, this is the lesson,
10:58or any other booking platforms,
11:00don't be tempted away to pay from the site.
11:04Otherwise you may not be covered in the case of fraud.
11:06And always pay on a credit card if you can.
11:09A bit of protection.
11:10Great result, Matt.
11:11Thank you so much.
11:12Flying start to the year.
11:14Selves come tonight.
11:15Broadcaster Jake Humphrey
11:16will be telling us what he's learnt
11:18from interviewing some of the world's
11:20most inspiring people.
11:21But first, we're speaking to comedy stars
11:23Dawn French and Mark Heave
11:24about their thrilling new BBC sitcom,
11:27which starts tonight
11:28and follows the story of a man called William.
11:30Through a bizarre turn of events,
11:32he is mistakenly declared dead,
11:34but he's actually just hiding in the loft.
11:36A mishap that sparks a comedy of errors
11:38that soon sends him tumbling into a life of crime.
11:43Now, before we welcome Dawn and Mark,
11:45let's take a look.
11:48Can you keep a secret?
11:51Dad.
11:52It turns out I hadn't died.
11:54The money from your dad's life insurance
11:56finally came through.
11:57Please, this is fraud.
11:58You have to give the money back.
11:59What sort of friend blackmails their own mates?
12:03We're a crime family.
12:04Oh, don't be silly.
12:05We're just a bit complicated,
12:06like the Beckons.
12:08William!
12:12And joining us now
12:13is Mark Heave and Dawn French.
12:14CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
12:15Yay!
12:18Dawn and Mark, we love it.
12:20It's brilliant.
12:21It's very funny.
12:22It's a sitcom
12:22with a bit of thriller thrown in there.
12:24It is.
12:24And you both play a husband and wife,
12:26Debbie and William.
12:26So tell us about how you've come together
12:31and have got into this dodgy situation.
12:34Well, you know, this is a very oddball family
12:38and they find themselves in the middle
12:41of this terrible sort of fraud.
12:42They don't set out to find it, actually.
12:45It happens to them.
12:47His character is declared dead
12:49by a very incompetent doctor
12:51and then an incompetent funeral director.
12:53And so it just so happens
12:56that it would suit them
12:57to claim the insurance.
12:58Now, we know this is morally wrong, isn't it?
13:00It is morally wrong.
13:01It is morally wrong,
13:02but it suits their purposes.
13:04And also this character,
13:05his character, William,
13:07has Parkinson's.
13:09And our writer's dad has Parkinson's.
13:12And so, you know,
13:14I didn't know that you sort of get shafted,
13:17really, by insurance companies
13:19when you have Parkinson's.
13:20And so she, I think my character, Debbie,
13:23feels that this is retribution, really,
13:25and that it's justice
13:26that they can claim this money,
13:28although, of course, it's wrong.
13:30I know, but you really want them
13:31to have the money, in a way.
13:33It's so bizarre.
13:35It's like, you know,
13:36the Corleoneism thing.
13:37You find yourself watching,
13:38until you're watching Breaking Bad,
13:39the main guy, you think,
13:40oh, this is what he's doing.
13:41But you think, oh, come on,
13:43I hope, you know,
13:43you kind of end up rooting for them.
13:45It gets worse and worse, though,
13:46from the family dynamic point.
13:47You've got Craig Roberts and Mandip Gill
13:49who are playing your son and daughter-in-law.
13:51Then all of a sudden, they're involved,
13:53and then it's the most extraordinary
13:54family dynamic.
13:56Yeah, it is.
13:58I mean, they, both of them
14:00are brilliant, by the way.
14:01And Craig, especially,
14:03is very good at playing
14:04such an anxious person.
14:07He's all bottled up,
14:08and he just wants to say,
14:09shut up!
14:10You know, he's like,
14:10he does it brilliantly, I should say.
14:12And I think Debbie is a bit
14:14of an agent of chaos, actually,
14:16and brings everybody
14:17into this swamp of chaos with her,
14:20including William,
14:21who's quite resigned to it, actually.
14:23And she does make the point to you
14:25at the beginning
14:25that nobody would really miss you.
14:28No.
14:30That's a sign of a good marriage.
14:32I've seen William for a while,
14:33though he's just indoors.
14:34Now, you've already mentioned the writer,
14:35and I don't know,
14:36the series were created
14:36by Simon Mayhew Archer,
14:38who also wrote the BAFTA award-winning
14:41at this country,
14:42but it was his dad, Paul,
14:43who co-wrote The Vicar of Dibley,
14:45who convinced you
14:47to do a sitcom,
14:48because you said
14:49you would never do a sitcom.
14:49No way!
14:50Yeah.
14:50You said, no, never again!
14:51I said it would be very unlikely,
14:53because, you know,
14:54good sitcoms are rare, aren't they?
14:56And, you know,
14:57I've been lucky enough
14:58to do a good one,
14:59and I've been involved
14:59with Jennifer's sitcom as well,
15:01you know,
15:02and I just thought,
15:02oh, well, that won't happen again.
15:04And Paul bullied me, frankly.
15:07I mean, he...
15:08I said convinced.
15:09I said convinced,
15:10you said convinced.
15:11Yes, it is.
15:11OK, yes.
15:12No, it's definitely bullying.
15:12OK, fine.
15:13And he sent me an email,
15:15and he said,
15:15look, you know,
15:16I know I'm supposed to go
15:17via your agent and all of that,
15:19but I'm old now,
15:20and I've got Parkinson's,
15:21and you should read this.
15:22And it's my son who's written that,
15:24and I had met his son
15:25many years before.
15:27And he said,
15:27and this is the first time
15:28he's written a sitcom,
15:30he's produced them before.
15:31But I thought,
15:33oh, no,
15:33now I'm going to have to read this.
15:34I'm going to have to
15:35make that embarrassing
15:36sort of phone call
15:37with the notes
15:38that explain why
15:40I gently,
15:41carefully,
15:41diplomatically
15:42can't do it.
15:44And then I read it,
15:44and it's really good.
15:45And I thought,
15:46oh, damn.
15:46I can't see you doing that.
15:47You just go,
15:47nah.
15:49Nah.
15:49No, thanks.
15:50No, I can be kind.
15:51I'm not kind to you,
15:52never.
15:53But I can be.
15:54That works in the sitcom.
15:55You touched there on Paul
15:57and his Parkinson's diagnosis.
15:59He's been very open about it.
16:00And William,
16:01your character,
16:02lives with the condition.
16:04Yeah.
16:04But you play it with
16:05so much humour
16:06and so much heart.
16:08Paul Mayhew Arch
16:09does himself,
16:10and between them,
16:11there's almost like
16:12a comedy double act
16:13about Parkinson's.
16:14And so a lot of
16:15what I'm doing
16:15is what,
16:16is the writer's view
16:18of his dad
16:19and having to deal
16:20with his dad
16:21and they,
16:21between them,
16:23are quite extraordinarily
16:24good-humoured about it.
16:26They don't sugarcoat it at all.
16:27They're quite savage
16:28with each other.
16:29Really savage.
16:30About it.
16:30And Paul,
16:31you know,
16:31has made light of it.
16:33He's taken shows
16:34to Edinburgh.
16:35He does a podcast
16:36about Parkinson's.
16:37He's the most cheerful
16:38person with Parkinson's
16:39you could ever hope to meet.
16:41He's very realistic about it.
16:43But I think Simon
16:45is writing about
16:45his own family's experience
16:47and, you know,
16:48they cut through
16:49the nonsense, really.
16:50I mean,
16:50it's not a documentary
16:51about Parkinson's
16:52by any stretch.
16:53It's just incidental
16:54that he's got Parkinson's,
16:55quite early-onset Parkinson's,
16:56so it's not
16:57the really,
16:58really nasty stuff.
16:59But as a character,
17:02it's great because,
17:02you know,
17:02you use that
17:03for your own ends.
17:04You put a bit of self...
17:05Oh, I can't do that
17:06because of my Parkinson's
17:07or I, you know,
17:08it's a bit of pity.
17:09Yeah, and we had
17:10sort of permission, really.
17:11Permission to do that, yeah.
17:12It's in the script anyway,
17:13so it's...
17:14Yeah.
17:15You kind of have to.
17:16You can't go,
17:17no, I'm not doing that.
17:19I mean, I think Simon
17:19has written about
17:20both of his parents,
17:21to be honest.
17:22Yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:22And a lot of this show
17:24is about the son,
17:26Harry,
17:27that Craig plays,
17:28who really is
17:29sort of Simon,
17:30who is trapped
17:31in a sandwich
17:32between two mad parents
17:35who are sort of
17:35incompetent,
17:36incontinent people
17:37and...
17:39Literally, yeah.
17:39..two children
17:40that are also
17:41incompetent and incontinent.
17:43He's in a sort of
17:44mad sandwich
17:45and he's very anxious
17:47about all of it.
17:48And so that's really
17:50where the heart of it is.
17:51We've been told
17:53to read ours,
17:54haven't we?
17:54Yeah, let's get on
17:54with it.
17:55Oh, OK.

17:56the sitcom?

18:05Oh, you can trust me.
18:06I'm no traitor.
18:07Oh, I saw tonight as well.

18:12But before all of that,
18:14still to come
18:14on the one show tonight,
18:15Jake Humphrey
18:16will be sharing the secrets
18:17to stick into
18:18your New Year resolutions
18:19as he tells us
18:21how small everyday habits
18:22can make big changes.
18:23But first,
18:24this next film
18:24may take Dawn
18:25back to her
18:26vicar of Dibley days
18:27as we've been given
18:28an exclusive
18:29behind-the-scenes look
18:30at Father Brown
18:30ahead of its return
18:31this week.
18:32Yes, Mark Williams
18:32reveals how the show's
18:33magic is created
18:34from the music
18:35right down
18:36to the smallest prop
18:37as the local community
18:39help bring the drama
18:40to life.
18:43Every summer,
18:44a film crew
18:44sets up camp
18:45in the Cotswolds
18:46village of Blockley.
18:48Action!
18:48Welcome
18:49to Kembleford.
18:51It's the fictional
18:52setting for the BBC
18:53detective series
18:54Father Brown
18:55starring Mark Williams.
18:57Good morning,
18:58Chief Inspector.
18:59How can we help?
19:01Loosely based
19:02on a series of books
19:03by G.K. Chesterton,
19:04this is the 13th year
19:06the village has opened
19:07its doors
19:07and its church
19:08to the priest
19:09with an uncanny knack
19:10for solving crimes.
19:12That's St Mary's
19:13in our stories
19:15but he's actually
19:16St Peter and Paul
19:18and I'm not
19:18the real vicar.
19:20Canon de Lapp
19:21is the incumbent here.
19:24It's a real buzz
19:25to have them here.
19:27Did have somebody
19:27once say to me
19:28you can't be
19:29the priest here
19:30because you're
19:31not
19:32Father Brown.
19:34We do make the place
19:35look untidy
19:35that's for certain.
19:37That is
19:37absolutely true.
19:39Each episode
19:40takes just over
19:41two weeks to film
19:42which is great
19:43for villagers
19:44like Nicky
19:44from the local cafe.
19:46During the time
19:47that they're here
19:48it creates lots
19:49of excitement
19:49for the village.
19:50I'm not saying
19:51it's always easy
19:52because you know
19:52Blockley's quite
19:53a small community.
19:55Certainly for us
19:55it creates
19:56good trade.
19:58The series is set
19:59in 1953.
20:01The cast
20:02get their 50s
20:02makeover
20:03at Father Brown
20:04HQ
20:04which has set
20:05up camp
20:06on the outskirts
20:06of the village.
20:08Siraca Cusack
20:09who plays
20:10Mrs McCarthy
20:10Father Brown's
20:12no-nonsense
20:12parish secretary
20:13is getting
20:14into character.
20:15I do like her
20:17because she's
20:18she's opinionated
20:20she's rather
20:20like me actually.
20:23Have they been
20:24feeding you
20:24properly Father?
20:25I think you've
20:26lost weight.
20:27And feeling
20:28better for it.
20:29It's the job
20:30of costume designer
20:31Anne Rudd
20:32to make sure
20:33the outfits
20:33look authentic.
20:35We've got
20:35Mrs McCarthy
20:36there.
20:36Inspector Sullivan.
20:38This is
20:38Father Brown.
20:40This is
20:40the cassock
20:41that he's
20:42worn a lot.
20:43Anne was
20:45inspired at
20:45an early age.
20:47I can't really
20:48remember a time
20:49when I didn't
20:49love clothes.
20:50I mean my mum
20:51doing this show
20:52is great because
20:53it reminds me
20:53of my mum.
20:54She used to
20:54make all her
20:55own clothes
20:56and all of mine.
20:57I started
20:58trying to make
20:59things myself
21:00about six or
21:01seven on her
21:02sewing machine.
21:03It probably
21:04is in my DNA.
21:05Now they look
21:06the part
21:07the actors
21:07are preparing
21:08for the first
21:09take of the day.
21:09First of all
21:10we will go
21:11through the lines
21:12then we'll
21:12decide where
21:13we're going
21:13to stand
21:14what we're
21:14going to do
21:14then we show
21:15it to the crew
21:16and then the crew
21:17will come in
21:17and do their
21:18stuff.
21:19So the whole
21:19thing's in
21:20very collaborative
21:21in a sort
21:22of military
21:22way.
21:23As well as
21:24the actors
21:24there are over
21:25150 crew
21:26working behind
21:27the scenes
21:28including
21:29production designer
21:30Martin Boddison
21:31who has to
21:31make sure
21:32nothing modern
21:33ends up in
21:33shot.
21:34We have
21:34these little
21:35things called
21:36what we call
21:36cover-ups
21:37which we take
21:38with us
21:38everywhere
21:38and always
21:39very useful
21:39for hiding
21:41things like
21:42that.
21:42The music
21:43plays its
21:43part two
21:44from our
21:45home studio
21:45composer Debbie
21:47Wiseman
21:47writes the score.
21:48The music is
21:49another character
21:50in Father
21:50Brown.
21:50It's telling
21:51the story
21:52alongside the
21:53characters
21:53and I get
21:54very excited
21:54when I get
21:55a new episode.
21:58What's going
22:03on in the
22:04character's
22:04mind?
22:05Are they
22:05searching for
22:06clues?
22:06Are they
22:07scared?
22:07Are they
22:08feeling romance
22:14or love?
22:15That's what the
22:15music is doing
22:17at its best.
22:18Back in
22:19Blockley
22:19actor Tom
22:20Chambers who
22:21plays Inspector
22:22Sullivan is
22:23catching up
22:23with the
22:24locals.
22:25They've
22:25become
22:25friends.
22:26You really
22:26don't mind
22:27us being
22:28here in
22:29your beautiful
22:30village.
22:31I love it.
22:31It was great.

22:43scene.
22:44It's a cherry
22:44on the top
22:45scene and
22:45the actual
22:46filming.
22:46We weren't
22:47expecting that
22:47at all.

23:12So good.
23:12Father Brown
23:13returns with a
23:13brand new series
23:14this Friday at
23:15two o'clock on
23:15BBC One and
23:16iPlayer where you
23:16can watch all the
23:17episodes.
23:18Time now to
23:18introduce our
23:19next guest,
23:19this broadcaster
23:20and best-selling
23:21author, Jake
23:21Humphrey.
23:22Hello, friends.
23:23Hi.
23:24Hello.
23:26High performance
23:27of the podcast
23:27that goes from
23:28strength to
23:28strength where
23:29you interview
23:29some of the
23:30most inspirational
23:31people around
23:32the world,
23:32you and
23:32Damien Hughes
23:33of course,
23:34from Usain
23:35Bolt to
23:36Professor
23:36Brian Cox.
23:39When you have
23:40these conversations
23:40you would say
23:41there's one
23:41sort of theme
23:42that comes
23:42through from
23:43all these
23:43high-performing
23:44people.
23:45Yeah, I think
23:45the thing that
23:46comes through
23:47actually having
23:48spoken to a lot
23:49of people is
23:49that I used
23:50to believe
23:50and I started
23:51the podcast
23:51way back in
23:522019 thinking
23:53that to do
23:54what we want
23:54to do in
23:54life we have
23:55to take huge
23:56leaps in
23:56certain directions.
23:57We have to
23:57completely change
23:58our life, right,
23:59to change our
24:00life.
24:00But then we've
24:01spoken to hundreds
24:02of people who've
24:02basically told us
24:03that we kind of
24:04think too much
24:06about the outcome
24:07and the motivation
24:08and we don't think
24:09enough about the
24:09daily habits.
24:10And so as we've
24:11spoken to all these
24:12guests over 400
24:13over the last six
24:14years on the podcast
24:14we've realised that
24:16actually it is about
24:17the tiny,
24:18insignificant,
24:18significant daily
24:19things that we do
24:19that we almost
24:20don't even notice
24:21that makes the
24:22difference which is
24:23where the books
24:24come from and I
24:24feel kind of bad
24:25really sitting on
24:26this show talking
24:26about the book
24:26because it's like
24:27it's a self-help
24:28book for people
24:29that don't read
24:29self-help books
24:30because the stuff
24:31in it is so simple
24:32you'll read it and
24:32go that can change
24:34my life?
24:34I don't believe it
24:35but it does.
24:36Well it's called
24:36micro habits and I
24:38think it's quite timely
24:38because January is a
24:39time of year where we
24:40reset, we want goals
24:41and we want to be a
24:42better person, you know
24:43all these sort of
24:44things but you say
24:44that these micro habits
24:45can help with that.
24:46Yeah absolutely
24:47because the way the
24:48human brain is wired
24:49and by the way I know
24:50like you guys I'm a
24:51former kids TV presenter
24:52I didn't start off
24:53knowing this stuff
24:53but I sat next to an
24:55amazing guy called
24:55Professor Damien Hughes
24:56for the last six years
24:57on the show and he
24:59sort of explained to me
25:00that the human brain
25:01tries to conserve energy
25:02as much as possible
25:03which is why so often
25:04in life you think
25:05did I just put the
25:06washing on?
25:07I did it on autopilot
25:08because the brain is
25:09trying to conserve energy
25:10so actually it's kind of
25:11hard to change the way
25:12that you live your life
25:13because your brain is
25:14always looking for the
25:14shortcut you've always
25:15done so the way to
25:16change your brain
25:17and therefore change
25:18your life is to
25:19create habits
25:20micro habits which is
25:21what the book's called
25:21that are so small
25:23and so insignificant
25:24that there's no added
25:25friction to the brain
25:26but actually the way
25:28the place you end up
25:28at the end is so
25:29different to where you
25:30start.
25:30And you pick up a
25:31habit that's probably
25:32good for you
25:32it'd be very personal
25:33I'd imagine
25:34is there one that
25:35you've seen or heard
25:36over the 400 interviews
25:39we think that's
25:39actually had a huge
25:40impact on your life?
25:41Definitely
25:41I called Shane Parrish
25:43who's an amazing
25:44thinker from the
25:45United States
25:46and we had him on
25:47the show a couple
25:47years ago
25:48and at the time
25:49my life looked
25:50really good
25:50I was hosting
25:51Champions League
25:52and Premier League
25:52football
25:53I had a couple
25:53of businesses
25:54that I'd created
25:54hosting the podcast
25:55two amazing kids
25:57hi guys
25:57but I felt
25:59overwhelmed
26:00and I felt
26:00unhappy
26:01and I didn't
26:01really know
26:02what was going
26:02on
26:02and I said
26:03this to Shane
26:04you can hear
26:05it on the podcast
26:05and he said
26:06well what really
26:07matters in your life
26:08what do you need
26:09for you
26:10and I said
26:10well number one
26:12time with my wife
26:13Harriet
26:13number two
26:14time with my kids
26:15Flo and Sebastian
26:15who are watching
26:17right now
26:17and number three
26:18a little bit of time
26:19each week for myself
26:20just to go to the gym
26:21or walk the dog
26:21or something
26:22and he said
26:23great
26:23well show me your diary
26:24and let me see
26:25where those things
26:25are in your diary
26:26and I was like
26:27well they're not
26:27in my diary
26:28because I love them
26:29so much
26:29I make sure they happen
26:30and he said
26:31well are they happening
26:32and I was like
26:33no
26:34and that was why
26:35despite my life
26:35looking great
26:36it didn't actually
26:37feel very good
26:37and what he explained
26:39to me was
26:39those things are important
26:40but life is full
26:41of urgent stuff
26:42and the urgent
26:43will always
26:44kick the important
26:45to the side
26:46so his advice
26:47was at the start
26:47of the week
26:48look at your diary
26:48find three or four
26:50places that you can
26:50just chat to Harriet
26:51or be with the kids
26:52or walk the dog
26:53or have a game of paddle
26:54and that tiny thing
26:56that almost looks
26:58like nothing
26:58has been transformational
26:59for me
27:00and the book's packed
27:01with those kinds
27:01of lessons
27:02from guests
27:02do you have any
27:04micro tips
27:04I would like
27:05I would need
27:07someone to tell me
27:08you know
27:08you know you're
27:09doing that
27:10well that was
27:11what the book
27:12will do
27:12I will give you
27:13a copy
27:13personally can you
27:15come round
27:16and say
27:17why are you
27:18doing that
27:19or tell my wife
27:20why is she
27:20doing that
27:21so you want me
27:23to come to your
27:23wife
27:23to come to your
27:24house and tell
27:25your wife
27:25I think that you
27:25need to sort
27:26that out
27:26in your own
27:27diary
27:27I also like
27:28that you just
27:28told me I can
27:29play more paddle
27:29which is the best
27:30part of it
27:31Jake and Damon
