01:23to get you in the mood yes the start of the year is a time when lots of people will
01:27be thinking about
01:28getting fit and Ashley John Baptiste has been to find out about a new NHS project that's using the
01:33power of sport to help change lives from hitting the pads to fancy footwork boxing is great exercise
01:43for both body and mind the sports popularity is growing with more amateur clubs than ever before
01:49and this boxing club has popped up in a bit of an unusual location in the UK first this boxing
01:57gym
01:57has opened on an NHS site in South East London it's run by the mental health charity off the ropes
02:04the
02:04long-term vision of head coach and co-founder Warren Dunkley I used to take my pads onto the wards
02:10and do a
02:12little bit of one-to-one with some clients people kind of was more interested in coming and doing some
02:17boxing with me rather than just doing conventional gym work how does boxing impact our mental health
02:22boxing is really really good because people couldn't come in with a small goal and come out
02:27the gym of achieving a goal and then that kind of creates a motivation to want to come back the
02:33team
02:33here has been using boxing training to support those with acute mental health issues and whilst boxing
02:39has traditionally been linked to neurological problems it's now looking at ways and on contact
02:45training could help patients with Parkinson's and dementia it works really well with some some
02:51conditions such as Parkinson's because it's kind of little set routines and it works on people's
02:57balance and coordination we're doing some physical health and some mental health kind of treatment
03:02here kind of getting their recovery going through the boxing so hopefully helping with further illnesses and
03:08diseases later on in us to come here people are referred by the NHS or they can refer themselves to
03:17these sessions which run five days a week today Warren is going to put me through my paces find a
03:23bit of space
03:24guys yeah I cannot remember the last time I've done a warm-up like this when's that beep coming
03:34oh you are so better than me at this Lauren lives with functional neurological disorder a condition where
03:43the brain's messaging system malfunctions causing symptoms like muscle weakness tremors or movements
03:49problems but with therapy and structured activities like boxing some people see real improvements I
03:55usually use stick to walk around with where I've been training and working out and everything it's got my leg
04:01that are
04:02and I'm hoping fingers crossed to come off with like a walking aid completely next year
04:07how would you say boxing has changed you Lauren it's helping me lose weight which is
04:12obviously helping me physically but also mentally as well how do you feel when you come
04:17here amazing afterwards yeah I'll come in here if I've got anything on my mind I leave with a happy
04:24face
04:25regular's Russell and Ben also turn to boxing to improve their mental and physical health can you
04:31tell me about your mental health challenges I've had schizophrenia half my life I've been in a few
04:37hospitals it's made me feel like I belong somewhere and more happier and in a routine which is helping
04:45my mental health can you tell me about your current condition then no talks about that what was wrong
04:53with me you know I woke up by the angel couldn't walk how has coming here helped you it's amazing
04:59before coming I couldn't even stand up I walk at all but you feel like part of something before
05:07we just saw me on now when there's a group of us please I feel much happier myself this space
05:16was
05:16provided by Oxley's NHS Foundation Trust its chief executive psychiatrist Dr Ify Okocha believes its
05:24benefits could be life-changing medications we prescribe sometimes makes people lethargic makes
05:31them put on weight and makes them disconnected from from society we want to connect people who want to
05:38keep people healthy and we really want this to be the next step for most people from hospital and to
05:46support them in the community the team believes it's offering something unique a sense of community
05:57and the chance to set goals and move forward in life today has showed me that boxing is more than
06:03fitness the care and structure here are giving people the strength to overcome obstacles and build a
06:10brighter future thanks so much for that film Ashley what brilliant idea of it I mean and who would have
06:18thought for you know issues like Parkinson's that it can be helpful fantastic exactly you might have to go
06:23down and have a little spa well no exactly yeah you'll win definitely time to welcome our first guest
06:27tonight it is Pierce Brosnan and Amir El Masri welcome to all of you it is great to have you
06:35both here and we are going to be keeping with a theme of boxing now with
06:39Pearson Amir's powerful new biopic giant yes the film charts the rise of 90s trailblazing fighter Prince Nazeem Hamed played
06:46by Amir from his early years
06:48first grown up in Sheffield to becoming a boxing world champion by the age of just 21 all with the
06:53help of his charismatic trainer played by Pierce before they tell us more here's a little taster of the action
07:00are you the Irishman that runs boxing gym my children they are having trouble at school
07:04how did you get that cut on your lip save me got that bent nose
07:09if he can fight like this now his size his age who's gonna stop him when he's a man
07:15boxing is no longer for old men in suits it's for boys that want the swagger the razzmatazz
07:22the nazzmatazz
07:25mistero
07:27Hamid has done it the princess champion of the world
07:32who's more important the trainer or the fighter
07:37we were just saying to you both how amazing the film is it and I mean it's just so impactful
07:44on so
07:44many levels it's not just about the drama that's in the boxing ring is it I just say thank you
07:48for
07:48having us this is a just big fan of the show so yeah really great to be here
07:53um yeah this this film really resonated with me on a personal level it's just the the father-son
07:59dynamic you know someone who wants to become his own and you know essentially a coach who has
08:06has been who was a father and impactful person to so many world champions and and and how someone
08:12wants to hold on to that fine family dynamic and someone else wants to kind of grow out into his
08:18own um both well intentioned but coming at it maybe from from different ways but um yeah
08:24Rowan Nathal who wrote and directed it really gave us so much you know meat on the bone with these
08:31characters bringing them together I'd seen I'd seen Nazeem rise up through the ranks as we all did and was
08:36fascinated by him but I didn't really know about the character I played Brendan Engel yeah and he in
08:42Sheffield I mean he was a real local legend wasn't he oh massive massive you know a saintly man in
08:49some
08:49ways in the sense that you know he was this Irishman who went to Sheffield and formed a community there
08:55for young men who were kind of out in the streets and brought them all together through boxing they have
09:01that massive support system now when we were very fortunate to go and visit the gym and we went
09:07there and we we got to to chat with his with his son as well and uh you know they're
09:13still keeping it
09:13they're still keeping at it the the system is is still alive and true now I mean you're a big
09:18fan of
09:18Naz massive you watched him growing up in the 90s so it must have been a real big deal for
09:23you to take on
09:24such an iconic character someone who really changed the world in the face of boxing for sure I mean I
09:29grew up you know I wanted to become a boxer as a kid but then when my brother was like
09:33you need
09:33to think of a ring walk and a dance I was oh no no no I'm too shy for that
09:36I'm too shy for that and
09:38then ironically became an actor but but uh but yeah I mean he you know he spoke for so many
09:44people
09:44from different communities as well um not only just as as a British boxer but also as someone who is
09:51of Yemeni origin as well um you know he resonated with so many people and to go through so many
09:57trials
09:57and tribulations and become world champion is no mean feat so um yeah it really comes out in the
10:03story yeah absolutely absolutely definitely and both of them as well I mean they were both going
10:10through so much as well and and you know Brendan was trying to hold his arm as well he was
10:14I mean
10:14Brendan wanted the golden ring he wanted to be up there he and he found it in you he found
10:20it in this
10:21little boy who had you know this heart and courage of life and uh and it is for me I
10:28connected as a
10:29father of sons you know that's that was my strong connection to to Brendan and then you kind of learn
10:35the history and the dynamics of the relationship but again going back to the script and what was there
10:41by by uh Rowan Athar was so so well connected for us as actors Rowan had a you know he
10:48gave us the bible
10:49you know he kind of it was we we didn't have to veer too much out of the of the
10:54script um the script
10:55was immaculate in itself and also Pierce was pretty much method as as as that father figure he always had
11:01everyone's back and super super protective of that sacred space that we were in on set as well so
11:08it was amazing to to do that with you as well oh cheers mate it was it was it was
11:13it was intense
11:14it was intense well you both had to take on you know huge transformations for the role
11:19um Pierce what was it like you know playing that character donning the leopard print track suit
11:26and did a bit of dancing in there as well oh there you go now you got a memo as
11:32well
11:32oh no I'm I'm right into it I thought it looked great just to say well you know he was
11:38a showman
11:39Brendan was a total showman and and so was Naz and it was created out of that flamboyance and
11:46you know you want to grab the attention of the world and these characters did exactly that but uh
11:53yeah leopard skin I kept the leopard skin really you never know you never know when you have to
12:00jump into a little leopard skin um but um no there was a transformation in this I mean I I
12:06don't look
12:07like Brendan and again when I read this text and I thought my god Rowan you're you're giving me a
12:14jewel
12:14here yeah so there were prosthetics for me involves yeah you were in a chair for hours it was a
12:21couple
12:21of hours you know and uh but uh great great company who I worked with millennium fx and uh so

12:50joke 12 hour days going in the gym at 7 a.m leaving at 7 p.m but we had
12:55an amazing team I mean the whole
12:58stunt team were incredible everybody just got stuck in um you know really really like went above and

13:26thank you so much and you can watch giant in cinemas from this Friday yeah don't miss it still to
13:32come
13:32radio one film expert Ali Plom finds out about the power of community cinema and he'll be revealing
13:37his must-watch movies to look out for this year but before that it's time to chat to Pete Wicks
13:42about
13:42the return of his heartwarming show which sees him and lend a helping hand to change the lives of
13:47rescue dogs at rehoming centers across the country but before he joins us on the sofa let's have a look
13:52I love dogs
13:58in fact I don't just love them I'm completely obsessed and I couldn't be more delighted
14:04to be back at the dogs trust again
14:08hey little baby pub to witness the resilience how she's managed to bring up six puppies it's a miracle
14:14the courage this one looks a little bit more shut down and the unconditional love that these amazing
14:20creatures are capable of oh I mean look how happy that man is right there and he is here now
14:27welcome Pete so Pete so cute I mean this is more than a job for you this show isn't it
14:35you do six
14:35months ago but never spend a day at work I know you love making this program honestly it's the best
14:41thing I can't believe my luck every time I go there like genuinely this is it's not work at all
14:45like for
14:46me I get to spend my day with all sorts of different dogs and it's kind of a running joke
14:51on set that every dog I meet is my favorite like every single one I'm like you're my favorite and
14:55then
14:56I mean oh you're my favorite it's just the best thing in the world this is all I've ever wanted
14:59to
14:59do so if I could do this to the day I die I'd be happy listen it's an award-winning
15:02series series
15:03three and I think it's fair to say that in this one you really get involved you want to get
15:09in there help the team help the dogs you're just so hands on
15:12yeah series three we've done a lot of things that we hadn't done before we we followed some potential
15:18police dogs some go through training I did some fostering I went straight from start to finish on
15:25a lot of journeys including handovers and hoarding cases and yeah it's pretty hands-on but it's it's
15:31such a blessing to be even a small part of the journey of these dogs so you talked about the
15:36handovers there
15:36which is where people have got in touch because they've got to give up their dogs and I mean some
15:41of
15:41those sequences absolutely heartbreaking and I know that you've learned a lot about like why
15:45people have to do that you know how they end up in that situation has it has it sort of
15:49taught you
15:50anything new about absolutely I mean the whole show a lot of the reason I wanted to do this show
15:53because it I mean it took me six years to get this off the ground it's taken a long time
15:57was was partly
15:58to educate people on rescue rehabilitation and vulnerable dogs but aside from that there's also the human
16:04element which is that everyone have emotions and you know people go through different things cost of
16:08living crisis you know there's there's lots of different things and factors that the affects
16:13why someone might hand over a dog but at the end of the day going somewhere like Dogs Trust where
16:18you
16:18know they're going to get the kind of best care and the opportunity to find a happy ending is the
16:21responsible thing to do so you know I've got a lot of respect for people that actually take that route
16:25rather than you know potentially dumping dogs or whatever else but I mean it's heartbreaking it's
16:31heartbreaking for the families but you know at the end it's it's the best thing for the dog
16:34yeah you mentioned the team there they are so kind and giving and emotional that's really stands out
16:40in the program as well everyone that works at Dogs Trust and all the volunteers the fosterers
16:45every single from top to bottom and you know we travel the country across every center and every
16:49center has got the kind of same compassion and empathy for animals and humans they're honestly
16:54heroes and I know that's kind of banded around quite a lot that kind of not all heroes wear capes
16:59thing but they genuinely are it's such an emotional roller coaster I mean I spend more time
17:03crying than I do laughing but for them to do it day in day out selflessly they're just incredible
17:09and let's talk about service dogs because it turns out you've got a pretty good detective yeah my dog
17:16scout now yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah you don't mean like I've been around it's not my first rodeo
17:23but yeah we we actually had some some many pups who the police were potentially looking at to become
17:27service dogs so there's lots of different characteristics that you can find from from puppies even if they're only a
17:33couple of weeks old that could make them potential good service dogs and as it turns out I'm not bad
17:38at picking them
17:39that's great and also dog fostering you mentioned how was that what was that like I mean fostering is
17:44one of the hardest jobs to do because every foster you feel like it should be a failed foster because
17:50you want to keep them but yeah I did some fostering for a beautiful dog called crumble who had been
17:55at
17:55the center for a number of years yeah but she'd been there for a number of years and had no
18:01interest
18:02so there wasn't a lot of information about what she was like in a home and part of the fosterers
18:06and
18:07and what the fosterers do is is for a lot of dogs who struggle in kennel or you know for
18:12them to be
18:12able to give potential new owners an opportunity to know what dogs like in a home yes you know no
18:17dog should be in a kennel as wonderful as the kennels are they should all have a home and it's
18:22all part of
18:22the journey and you know ensuring that they get to that point where they get their happy ending
18:26Pete when you've been on the show before you've talked about your rescue dogs we know that Peggy sadly
18:31not with us anymore but just give us an update on Eric Eric he's good Eric's 12 now um he's
18:37basically
18:37a loaf of bread with legs these days uh he can't see much he can't see much he can't hear
18:43much um but
18:44yeah and and you know Peggy unfortunately she was ill for for a good couple of months and I lost
18:48her a
18:48couple of months ago which is you know anyone that that has kind of got dogs it's it's yeah
18:53absolutely broken my heart but Eric's doing all right me and Erica we're all right we're all right
18:58good good lovely comments here Lisa says amazing series such and says such a genuine person and Kelly
19:05says I've already watched a few episodes of the new series Pete has such a genuine love for the dogs
19:09that he meets you can tell you're just absolutely every single dog lifting it up to your face so that
19:14dogs are better than people bar used to of course thank you don't worry there you go I get it
19:19we
19:19get it and Pete wicks for dog sig is available to watch on you now okay back to the big
19:26screen now
19:26because in just a moment we'll be speaking to radio one's film expert Ali Plum ahead of the golden
19:31globes this weekend but first he's been to Birmingham to find out why it's not just Hollywood keeping the
19:36wonder of cinema alive big movie releases like ping-pong comedy drama Marty's supreme can still
19:44attract moviegoers to multiplexes but a different kind of cinema is also working its magic over a
19:50hundred years since the first film society was founded in the UK there are now more than 1,600
19:56community cinemas across the country but they're having to be increasingly creative to attract a new
20:01generation of moviegoers since 2019 UK cinema attendance has dropped by around 30% and many
20:09screens face closure as rising costs and home streaming take their toll but screen b14 a community
20:15cinema group in Birmingham is bucking the trend we hope to complement the existing cinema ecology with
20:22the new releases but also like throwing in some more historical films some experimental ones and really
20:29thinking about the demographic of our local area and like the needs and the issues that are important
20:33to to those people as well how do you compete with those bigger cinemas affordability and accessibility
20:39a flexible pricing structure so people can adjust the cost to their financial situation depending on
20:45the screening that can be anything from like free through to as expensive as they want it to be
20:49how do you find new and interesting ways to engage a potential local audience we do a lot of screenings
20:55at the heath bookshop literary adaptations we showed Buena Vista social club at a cocktail bar and had
21:02cuban themed cocktails with the film tonight's screening is Simon Liang's goodbye dragon in a film you're unlikely
21:10to see at a multiplex for volunteers who help run the group this isn't just about the movies speaking for
21:16myself i was genuinely just quite lonely and i'm a massive film fan and i just saw it online and
21:23i was like this is my
21:25same deal as nadine really just meeting kindred spirits who are just obsessive about film and
21:29bringing interesting unusual films to new audiences over 30 percent of community screens are in rural
21:37areas places that otherwise might not have a cinema at all and across the uk they're popping up in old
21:43social clubs and even shopping centers founded in 1930 the manchester and salford film society
21:49is amongst the oldest that's still going strong today tonight they're screening babette's feast
21:55an oscar-winning danish classic volunteer cow runs its social media and the projector in the community
22:01spirit of the society is really really strong after the film lots of people stay behind talk about the
22:07film uh with each other so it feels much more than just an ordinary cinema experience for those
22:13visiting today this kind of cinema provides something most multiplexes don't i think the
22:18diversity of what they pick to show is incredible not just seeing the same actors and actresses over
22:25and over like we do really in mainstream cinema it creates new friendships and it's also very reasonably priced
22:31most members at manchester's film society are over 55 so carol who helps run it is on a mission to
22:38bring in younger audiences tonight she's come to screen b14 in birmingham carol if you want to stand up
22:46to see what's pulling in the cracks although tonight's screening is at a cinema for ben finding
22:53different venues to show films within the community has been key to getting bums on seats local
23:00businesses are much more supportive than i would have first thought i kind of thought they won't be
23:06interested in community cinema and they won't be interested in like providing stuff for for what
23:11we're trying to do the response has been really really positive well that sounds good and it's
23:16something certainly we can give it a try and carol has some advice to share in return from her years
23:23of experience i think what i'd say even though things might get tough don't give up because it's that
23:29great thing you know somebody comes out they've seen a great film it's been a great experience
23:34we've all shared it and you just feel fantastic about it tonight has left carol delighted to see
23:41community cinema thriving with a younger crowd i really enjoyed feeling that enthusiasm new things
23:47happening young people being involved and it's really good thing to take away from international
23:54film and food nights to vintage projector screenings community groups like this are finding new ways of
24:00bringing people together and a hundred years on it proves that watching movies is better together
24:08and just like that straight from the cinema ali is here hello now we just saw timothy chalamet there who
24:17scooped an award at the critics choice lucky boy um but we're turning our head to the golden globes this
24:22weekend
24:23who do you think is going to win i think timmy might be up for another gong again i think
24:27it's
24:27his to lose oh he's likely to win the bapta i reckon and the oscar for his portrayal of and
24:32i know this
24:33sounds like a joke a semi-professional ping-pong player in the 50s does sound like a joke it does
24:39i like that he didn't win for bob dylan but he's gonna win for the the big one and it's
24:44great movie
24:44marty supreme it's over two hours long and it's intense but boy has he earned his oscar should he get
24:49it
24:50and if you get one you just have to scoop up all the others i think it's a rule okay
24:53but we've also
24:55got jesse buckley who i adore she was so good in wild rose and in that olivia coleman movie may
24:59remember wicked little letters but she's so charming and wonderful she's in this new film called hamnet
25:04out this friday as it happens and she plays agnes alongside paul mescal who plays one william
25:09shakespeare and it's about them recovering surviving from a family tragedy it is a weepy but trust me it is
25:15emotional and beautiful you may know the book i know i love the book i'm i'm having to steal myself
25:20for the film because it is going to be full-on isn't it there's a scene at the end that
25:23is going
25:24to get you can't wait bring tissues yeah good luck this weekend at the golden globes to her
25:29um so obviously ali after a few challenges as we just saw in the film you know this could actually
25:34be quite a big year at the box office couldn't it how optimistic are you 2025 was to be polite
25:40patchy for cinemas that is very polite patchy very patchy yeah thank you thank you critic at heart
25:45so 2026 much more optimistic i want to tell you there are some belters on the way trust me all
25:51right
25:52so we've got supergirl to jumanji 3 let's talk about films that the whole family can sit down and enjoy
25:58well i know this is going to sound like i'm listing off a lot of numbers because sequels are on
