The One Show
Encyclopedia
The One Show is a topical magazine-style daily television programme broadcast live on BBC One
and BBC One HD, hosted by Alex Jones
and Matt Baker. Chris Evans joins Jones to present the programme on Friday. Baker took over as Monday-Thursday co-host of The One Show on 14 February 2011.
It runs every week of the year, excluding a two-week break for Christmas and the four week break it took for the 2010 World Cup. The One Show is broadcast from BBC Media Village
in White City, London
. It is the biggest single commission outside returning drama the BBC has ever handed out.
and Nadia Sawalha
, featuring reports from a variety of people across the UK. The show was intended to be an updated version of the 1960–1980s BBC news magazine show Nationwide.
The show returned for a full series after being revamped on 9 July 2007. A number of changes were made to the format. The show was moved from Birmingham
to London. Sawalha was replaced by Myleene Klass
. Klass then left in August to give birth to her first child, and was replaced by Christine Bleakley
. The line-up was completed by the addition of a new team of reporters. The show replaced Real Story
, and Holiday.
On 18 March 2009, the show aired for the 400th episode, which was an hour long instead of the usual 30 minutes. From September 2009 The One Show included a 60-minute episode every week, after successfully trying the format in May 2009. The hour-long format continued until December 2009 and was revived in April 2011.
On 13 April 2010, Chris Evans was confirmed as the new Friday evening presenter on The One Show for a revamped pre-weekend edition of the show. This decision is reported to have led Chiles to decide to leave his post as presenter of The One Show. On 19 April, it was announced that Chiles was leaving The One Show at the end of his current BBC contract to join ITV on a four year contract to present football coverage, co-host Daybreak and host his own late night chat show. He presented his final show on 30 April. On 26 May, comedian Jason Manford
was confirmed as Chiles' replacement as co-host for Monday-Thursday.
Bleakley's future on the show after Chiles' departure, became questionable, as her current BBC contract was due to end in December 2010, and ITV
were reportedly keen to sign her. On 20 June 2010, the BBC confirmed they had withdrawn their contract offer to Bleakley, stating she had taken too long to decide whether to stay at the BBC, and that they were not interested in starting a 'bidding war' with other channels. The BBC claimed that they were putting "the interests of The One Show audience first and the current uncertainty does not allow us to do that". Later that day, Bleakley confirmed she was to move to ITV to front Daybreak alongside Adrian Chiles and other 'primetime ITV entertainment shows'. On 8 July, it was announced that Bleakley would not return to the show, and that Manford and Evans shall not begin presenting until a replacement was found for her. Throughout July guest presenters filled in. On 26 July, S4C
presenter Alex Jones
was announced as the new female co-host.
Whilst the World Cup was airing on BBC One throughout June and July 2010, the show went off air. The BBC had confirmed that The One Show would be broadcast in high-definition, with the set updated to HD standards, and the two new male co-hosts joining on 12 July 2010. However due to the departure of Bleakley, neither Manford nor Evans joined the programme until Bleakley's replacement had been chosen. Alex Jones was later announced as Bleakley's replacement, and the new presenters hosted the show from 16 August.
After just four months in the post, Manford stepped down from his presenting duties on The One Show, following revelations concerning his private life. Jones was joined by guest presenters including Matt Baker, Alexander Armstrong
and Matt Allwright
on Monday to Thursday, with Evans also presenting extra episodes on occasion. On 25 January 2011, Baker was announced as Monday-Thursday co-presenter.
On 23 February 2011, the fire alarm at the BBC White City
studios went off, causing the programme to be taken off air and the remainder of the show was replaced with a recording of Nigel Slater's Simple Suppers.

, with an Outside Broadcast truck parked-up in the loading bay. The show was produced by BBC Birmingham
, with production input from various BBC regions. The initial four-week run was for test purposes, to see whether the show was successful in attracting audiences, and has been recommissioned on that basis. When The One Show returned, it was moved to BBC Media Village
in White City, London.
As a topical magazine programme, The One Show covers a variety of stories. Since the show began, several experts, as well as presenters from other BBC programmes have presented certain reports and have run experiments.
Generally, the show has a mix of stories followed by discussions with the reporters, experts and an interview with the guest. The guest usually has a book, film, programme, concert, CD or DVD to promote.

Pet owner discussion boards became dominated by critical comments about the programme . The One Show's Facebook page was filled with negative comments about Jordan Shelley and demands that he be removed from the show. A Facebook campaign "Get Jordan Shelley off BBC One Show" was set then up . The Kennel Club published a statement criticising the training methods used in the programme on its website , as did the Dog's Trust . On the blog of Beverley Cuddy, editor of Dog's Today magazine, the RSPCA was reported to have issued a statement indicating that they were investigating the situation, with a view to prosecution "We are investigating several complaints received following an item featured on The One Show on Friday, 16 September. However, because that investigation is now active we cannot comment further on this specific instance" . This is not the first time that the One Show has been in conflict with the RSPCA. In 2010 they were criticised for deliberately taunting a nesting swan to attack in order to film its behaviour for a feature .
The BBC have dismissed criticism of Jordan Shelley's spot on the programme, saying "Roxy’s owners were happy with the outcome and that he (Jordan Shelley) would display other techniques in future programmes". This has led to speculations about the connection between Jordan Shelley and the BBC . In 2010 Jordan Shelley and Brian Klein (a current director of BBC's Top Gear programme ) became co-directors of Wobbly Dog Productions Ltd . Top Gear shares shares facilities with the One Show at the BBC. One of Mr Klein's companies, On The Box Productions Ltd , was the production company responsible for Jeremy Clarkson's series of entertainment DVD spinoffs from his work on Top Gear . "On The Box" was contracted for the item by the One Show . It appears that the One Show appearances are part of a plan, backed by a BBC employee who also has his own production company, to launch a lucrative media career for Jordan Shelley. Company records also indicate that Jordan Shelley's previous occupation was as co-director of a cleaning company called Jordans Cleaners Ltd that is now dissolved .
In a follow up programme, aired on 21st September 2011, Catherine Gillie (field director of the Dogs Trust) and Joe Inglis
MRCVS both strongly criticised the training methods used by Jordan Shelley. However, video of Catherine Gillie's statements was deliberately inter-cut with responses to her criticism from Jordan Shelley, allowing him to challenge her without her being able to respond. Matt Baker made a comment that appeared to distance the show's connection with Jordan, saying "we should have made it clear that he was someone whose work we were following on the show, rather than the One Show dog trainer as such" . At the end of the feature Liza Minnelli
was overheard to say "good on you Joe, I agree with you" .
Immediately after the show on the 21st September, the BBC press office released a statement; "The One Show has thanked viewers for all their comments and criticisms which were taken very seriously. Last night the show featured various differing opinions plus advice from The One Show's vet on the subject of dog training and care. There are currently no plans for this feature to return."

Dog trainer controversy
On 15 September 2011 One Show presenters introduced a "new member of the One Show family", the dog trainer Jordan Shelley. The following day, Jordan was shown treating a problem of food guarding in a Jack Russell Terrier called Roxy. Only confrontational methods were used, and at the end of the segment Alex Jones remarked that "some people out there might argue that some of your techniques were a little aggressive". According to an article in the Daily Mail, the BBC quickly received over 400 complaints about the methods used by Jordan Shelley. The Daily Mail article was followed by an article on the Daily Telegraph website , saying "Jordan Shelley doesn't seem to have any formal training or qualifications, and I’ve been unable to track down any evidence of his experience. High profile television programmes have a responsibility to ensure that advice given out is consistent with current best practice: the One Show’s dog training segment certainly does not do this".Pet owner discussion boards became dominated by critical comments about the programme . The One Show's Facebook page was filled with negative comments about Jordan Shelley and demands that he be removed from the show. A Facebook campaign "Get Jordan Shelley off BBC One Show" was set then up .
