Hello and welcome to your Bank Holiday One Show

:00:15.:00:16.

Now we hope you've had a great day off, but if you did have to work

:00:17.:00:23.

and were stuck inside, our aim tonight is to bring

:00:24.:00:26.

We're taking you out to our coast, our forests and our countryside,

:00:27.:00:34.

and we've got a guest who knows a thing or two

:00:35.:00:37.

APPLAUSE It is good to see you. Your bank

:00:38.:00:51.

holiday has mostly been spent getting to us, but if you like to

:00:52.:00:56.

have a day off, what do you want to do? I would take the dogs out and

:00:57.:01:04.

explore my own patch, I know that area better than anywhere else on

:01:05.:01:08.

earth. There have been radical changes over this weekend. I went

:01:09.:01:12.

away on Saturday and got back this morning and the beech tree had got

:01:13.:01:19.

leaves and it suddenly had become an emerald piece of woodland. Now I

:01:20.:01:23.

cannot see through the trees. That was over the course of two days. It

:01:24.:01:28.

is particularly beautiful at this time of the year. Me and Scratch

:01:29.:01:34.

were out looking at the wood and Andy Green Day. We have got some

:01:35.:01:40.

people in our audience, they are in disguise and they are watching it

:01:41.:01:45.

and they are from the RSPB. Some of them are wildlife photographers. Not

:01:46.:01:52.

very camouflaged in our studio. They will be taking pictures of you in an

:01:53.:01:57.

unusual habitat, this studio. It is. We will have a look at them at the

:01:58.:02:04.

end. Do I have to put on some sort of flamboyant display? If you want

:02:05.:02:08.

to blat your arms around, that would be good. In Chris's book he explains

:02:09.:02:15.

how a connection with a kestrel was very important to him during his

:02:16.:02:20.

childhood. Tonight we would like to know if a wild animal has ever got

:02:21.:02:25.

that close to you. Send us your photos as evidence to the usual

:02:26.:02:28.

As promised here's our first trip outside for some

:02:29.:02:31.

We're taking you to North-West England, where Andy Kershaw pitched

:02:32.:02:35.

in with the workers who say they've got the best office in Britain.

:02:36.:02:43.

Morecambe Bay, one of Britain's largest estuaries. At low tide, an

:02:44.:02:51.

expanse of sand covers 120 square miles. On a clear day like today you

:02:52.:02:57.

can see the loveliness of Lancashire a couple of miles in the distance

:02:58.:03:04.

that way, and the Lake District just over there. The Romantic poet

:03:05.:03:08.

William Wordsworth used to use these mudflats as a short cut between the

:03:09.:03:14.

two and he said of them, this majestic plane went the sea has

:03:15.:03:20.

retired. The area is famous for its cockle belts, fished for

:03:21.:03:24.

generations. But it has had a troubled past. 23 Chinese cockle

:03:25.:03:30.

pickers drowned here in 2004. Then, after years of abundance, stocks of

:03:31.:03:35.

the shellfish collapse, leading to an eight-year ban. Happily, like now

:03:36.:03:40.

there is news to warm the cockle pickers' heart. The stocks have

:03:41.:03:47.

recovered. So it is time to go cockling. It is a three mile tractor

:03:48.:03:52.

ride to the cockle beds. To preserve the stalks just 100 permits have

:03:53.:03:57.

been granted and only for a month. I am with Michael Wilson and his dad

:03:58.:04:01.

John. Their family has fished here for generations. I understand you

:04:02.:04:10.

have a dance. What is that called? That is the cockle shuffle. I am

:04:11.:04:17.

using how to use this board which softens the sand and helps the

:04:18.:04:25.

cockle 's float to the surface. You rock it backwards and forwards a few

:04:26.:04:29.

times and then you flick them up into the net. Is there a lot of

:04:30.:04:35.

money in it? There is a lot of money in it sometimes, it could be ?2000 a

:04:36.:04:38.

time. How much does it take for them time. How much does it take for them

:04:39.:04:44.

to get to that size? Two or three years, that is just about to end a

:04:45.:04:48.

half years old. I think I am quite good at this. When there

:04:49.:04:58.

eight-year ban, what impact did that have on you? We thought we were all

:04:59.:05:02.

going to have to get proper jobs, go and work in a factory. Muscles are

:05:03.:05:12.

quite good. The Spanish like them. The man protecting the stocks is

:05:13.:05:18.

Doctor Stephen Atkins. He is from the conservation authority. Give us

:05:19.:05:21.

an idea of the ecology of Morecambe Bay. It is very important, it has

:05:22.:05:29.

got shellfish, cockles, muscles further out. It is a very important

:05:30.:05:35.

area. While it is great to see cockling back, it is only for a

:05:36.:05:39.

month. It will return in the autumn if the stocks improved. We have got

:05:40.:05:45.

stops coming through that are ten millimetres now, but they need to be

:05:46.:05:50.

20 millimetres. We hope they are there by the autumn. Mike and John

:05:51.:05:55.

have got ?160 worth of cockles today. Has it been a good day? We

:05:56.:06:02.

have got what we expected, yes, we made a wage again. That is all we

:06:03.:06:07.

really want. You do not want to be rich, you just want to survive. Yes.

:06:08.:06:15.

Mike is our expert guide, but if you do not have that knowledge and

:06:16.:06:19.

experience, Morecambe Bay can be a perilous place. The incoming tides

:06:20.:06:24.

move faster than a trotting horse, or for that matter a speeding

:06:25.:06:30.

schnauzer. It is time to go. Actually, I have come prepared to

:06:31.:06:37.

sample my seafood. There is nothing quite like fresh seafood. It is

:06:38.:06:44.

about simplicity. My recipe is to boil them and eat them. That is

:06:45.:06:56.

fabulous. Would you swap this for any other job? No, not on a day like

:06:57.:07:04.

today. It is a way of life. When you see people getting in the car in the

:07:05.:07:08.

morning going to work or the factory, what do you feel? I feel

:07:09.:07:15.

sorry for them. Look at my office. You are only here for a short space

:07:16.:07:17.

of time, make the most of it. There is a man who loves his job. It

:07:18.:07:33.

is breathtaking. Chris, we talked about the new Forest. You grow up in

:07:34.:07:39.

Southampton, would you have been more attracted to the coast when you

:07:40.:07:43.

were a kid, or would you have gone inland? Bit of both. When I was

:07:44.:07:49.

younger I was into fossil finding. So I used to love the coast. I used

:07:50.:07:56.

to get my father to drive me to lime Regis. I was mainly looking down

:07:57.:08:01.

trying to find things. It was later I got onto the coast of things.

:08:02.:08:05.

Morecambe Bay in the winter is one of the best places in the country

:08:06.:08:12.

for waders and waterfowl. It is spectacular, beautiful place. You

:08:13.:08:16.

started collecting at a young age. And you have your new book, fingers

:08:17.:08:23.

in the sparkle chart which is how your love of nature developed? Yes,

:08:24.:08:31.

it started very young. It was about crawling around and putting things

:08:32.:08:34.

into shoe boxes. It was about owning and keeping animals to start with.

:08:35.:08:39.

Sadly, many of them didn't survive that experience. Would it was part

:08:40.:08:44.

and parcel of my training. This is the Tadpole spoon. I just bend the

:08:45.:08:57.

neck of it. I could dip it into the jamjar and scoop out the tadpoles

:08:58.:09:02.

and move them from one jamjar to another. Why I used to do that, I

:09:03.:09:08.

don't know. When you have tadpoles on a spoon, you are tempted to... I

:09:09.:09:19.

did. Did you? Chris! It is about experimenting when you are younger,

:09:20.:09:24.

they taste like soil, like watery semolina. They are difficult to

:09:25.:09:31.

taste so I used to try one after the other, after the other. The book

:09:32.:09:38.

focuses on you and the age is between six and 16. In your own

:09:39.:09:41.

words, how would you describe yourself as a child? When you are a

:09:42.:09:47.

child, you think you are normal, and it felt that way to start with. I

:09:48.:09:52.

had plenty of friends at school and I we would go out on our bikes and

:09:53.:09:58.

play football. But in adolescence my obsessive interest in natural

:09:59.:10:01.

history and other things, it meant I didn't integrate as well as I might

:10:02.:10:07.

have done. I started to be excluded. None of these people were malicious

:10:08.:10:12.

it's just kids separate from those who are not quite like them. It is

:10:13.:10:17.

part of growing up will stop I was confused as to why I wasn't part of

:10:18.:10:23.

that any longer. Then things became more difficult, to be honest. And

:10:24.:10:29.

quite uncomfortable. Of course, I got quite angry, to be honest with

:10:30.:10:35.

you. I was angry with myself, I didn't understand why, because I was

:10:36.:10:39.

obsessed with wildlife, I couldn't be invited to their parties and get

:10:40.:10:45.

girlfriends. I don't have any self-pity, it was just an artefact

:10:46.:10:49.

of a time when people like myself were not understood. You have this

:10:50.:10:56.

kestrel which is like a through line within the book, how did you come

:10:57.:11:02.

across it and what this bird meant to you? It meant everything. I got

:11:03.:11:08.

the bird in the summer of 1975. I took it from a nest in Ilhee Lee,

:11:09.:11:16.

which is something I have campaigned against. I was so into Cassells, I

:11:17.:11:23.

did apply for a licence, but working class lads didn't get licenses then.

:11:24.:11:31.

Why did you get the kestrel? I wanted to own them, and then I

:11:32.:11:35.

wanted to watch them in the wilds, I didn't want to keep them any more.

:11:36.:11:43.

The kestrel was the sexiest birds in my community, they were the top of

:11:44.:11:48.

the tree, the best bird in the book. I found the nest, took it from the

:11:49.:11:53.

nest and I traingate and flew it every day before school. It used to

:11:54.:12:00.

wear these little bells which I imported in 1974 from Pakistan and

:12:01.:12:04.

they are tied up with kangaroo leather. I got that from a distant

:12:05.:12:13.

uncle in Australia. It was a beautiful sound. I would go out with

:12:14.:12:19.

Mike plastic trainers across wasteland and I would fly the bird.

:12:20.:12:26.

I was unbelievably happy. The bird became everything. I can't remember

:12:27.:12:34.

who won the FA Cup in 1975. I can't remember what I was wearing except

:12:35.:12:39.

when I was with the bird. Everything consolidated around the one thing.

:12:40.:12:44.

It was a remarkable and powerful relationship. It is a beautiful

:12:45.:12:50.

story and beautifully written. You said this story just fell out of

:12:51.:12:56.

you. If you want to read it, then Fingers In The Sparkle Jar is out on

:12:57.:12:57.

Thursday. Chris is one of a lucky few who get

:12:58.:13:01.

to travel the world taking animal photos for a living,

:13:02.:13:05.

as is this man, David Plummer. But David has got a fight

:13:06.:13:07.

on his hands to carry on doing what he loves and here for the first

:13:08.:13:10.

time he explains why. My name is David Plummer and I am

:13:11.:13:20.

very fortunate to be a professional wildlife photographer. Which is my

:13:21.:13:28.

passion in life. It is 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a

:13:29.:13:33.

year. I travel all over the world for between four and six months a

:13:34.:13:41.

year to Africa, Hungary, Romania, Galapagos. Unfortunately, my life

:13:42.:13:45.

and work is being slowed down somewhat in that I have been

:13:46.:13:51.

diagnosed with Parkinson's. It is going to cause me problems. It is a

:13:52.:13:57.

degenerative disease, which has no cure. I noticed seven years ago,

:13:58.:14:04.

just tapping away at the laptop, my arm twitched, my left arm twitch. A

:14:05.:14:11.

week later it twitched again. Now it has developed, as you can see into a

:14:12.:14:17.

severe tremor, which is quite a decision for me to show this.

:14:18.:14:20.

Because this is what I normally hide from people. But I think people need

:14:21.:14:27.

to see it. As a result of all this, I have to take drugs, because this

:14:28.:14:35.

is what does the work for me. When I run out, and that is what is

:14:36.:14:39.

happening now, I am stiffening up and feeling the tremor in my left

:14:40.:14:47.

side, so consequently... One of those and then probably in about

:14:48.:14:52.

half an hour, 45 minutes, I will be OK again. At the moment, the area of

:14:53.:15:00.

photography has taken up my attention is kingfishers. Wow! Look

:15:01.:15:07.

at this bird. This has got to be one of the most dutiful British birds.

:15:08.:15:15.

This is the reason why I do this. I am enjoying the process of following

:15:16.:15:21.

where they are, monitoring their mating process, how well they are

:15:22.:15:27.

doing, as well as getting obsessed with capturing absolutely great

:15:28.:15:32.

images of them. When I sit here looking at this bird, I don't think

:15:33.:15:37.

about disability or Parkinson is. I am just completely focused on this.

:15:38.:15:44.

Another new passion is time-lapse photography, which allows me to

:15:45.:15:49.

speed up natural processes. Some of the favourite time-lapse as I have

:15:50.:15:53.

done around here is the rising Sun coming through the mist. And storm

:15:54.:16:00.

clouds across the sky with the reflection on water. I am speeding

:16:01.:16:07.

up time, which I guess is a contradiction. Speeding up time is

:16:08.:16:11.

certainly something I don't want to do in real life. I don't know how

:16:12.:16:16.

long I have got, but I don't have the luxury of getting up in the

:16:17.:16:20.

morning and procrastinating and saying I can't be bothered doing

:16:21.:16:24.

something. I get up and I said, I have got to do it. I hope when

:16:25.:16:31.

people look at my images of my kingfishers or other wildlife, they

:16:32.:16:34.

are thinking that is quite a good shot somebody who has got a

:16:35.:16:38.

disability, I want someone to look at those images and be inspired by

:16:39.:16:45.

them, find beauty in them and view them as world-class shots. Because

:16:46.:16:50.

that is what I aspire to. My name is David Plummer, and I pinch yourself

:16:51.:16:55.

every day in slight disbelief that this is what I actually do for a

:16:56.:16:57.

living. Thank you to David

:16:58.:17:04.

for sharing his story. And just to emphasize how

:17:05.:17:05.

Parkinson's hasn't stopped him, all these amazing photos

:17:06.:17:08.

from his new book were taken More details about David

:17:09.:17:11.

and Parkinson's Disease can be found through our website

:17:12.:17:15.

and social media. You are a keen photographer, Chris,

:17:16.:17:28.

they were beautiful? Stunning. The hair and the lion covered in mud.

:17:29.:17:36.

What an attitude. Just get on with that guy. Fantastic. FA Cup in 1975,

:17:37.:17:43.

it was West Ham. In law football news...

:17:44.:17:46.

In a few hours, one of the biggest upsets in sporting history

:17:47.:17:49.

could happen, because if Tottenham don't beat Chelsea, Leicester City

:17:50.:17:52.

Leicester fans suffered a nailbiting afternoon yesterday with the eyes

:17:53.:17:56.

Joe spent the day in the city as the dream edged a little closer.

:17:57.:18:07.

Leicester City's match today against Manchester United is probably the

:18:08.:18:12.

biggest in its entire history. While the game takes place in Manchester,

:18:13.:18:19.

100 miles away, how are the fans in Leicester cheering on the Foxes?

:18:20.:18:23.

Where are you watching the game today? Inside the stadium. I am

:18:24.:18:33.

giving up medical treatment. The spirit of the community, everybody

:18:34.:18:36.

coming together and everybody living the dream becoming a reality. Robb,

:18:37.:18:41.

a Leicester fan of 22 years is preparing for the match with his

:18:42.:18:45.

girlfriend and her family. What is your game build-up? I don't wear a

:18:46.:18:52.

shirt when they played. I wore a shirt once this season and they lost

:18:53.:18:57.

2-1. How long have you been a fan? My dad was a big Leicester fan and

:18:58.:19:02.

took me whenever I could. I took my son because I had happy memories.

:19:03.:19:06.

What will happen if it happens today? It is unknown territory. The

:19:07.:19:14.

pub might get a visit. Across the city, this man is watching with his

:19:15.:19:20.

father and son representing three generations of fans. My dad came

:19:21.:19:25.

over from Uganda and he would watch Leicester at the old Filbert Street

:19:26.:19:28.

ground. You haven't been that well of late? I had a heart attack six

:19:29.:19:34.

weeks ago. Are you ready for this, it could be exciting. The excitement

:19:35.:19:40.

won't bother me, I would just leave the room. Are there any pre-game

:19:41.:19:46.

rituals, superstitions? My son has been praying before every game, so

:19:47.:19:51.

he would take out his mosque work and pray. I told him, he's lucky

:19:52.:19:55.

that as a young lad, your home time team is on the cusp of greatness.

:19:56.:20:03.

Have you done your prayers? Not yet. Don't change anything today whatever

:20:04.:20:07.

you do. Leicester is awash with blue and further afield fans from far and

:20:08.:20:12.

wide are preparing for glory. 1961 bottle of whiskey will be cracked if

:20:13.:20:18.

we win. It is time for kick-off and the city holds its breath. But the

:20:19.:20:23.

high spirits take a not as United score an early goal. Leicester get

:20:24.:20:30.

right back in it quickly, with an equaliser. Come on! The tension is

:20:31.:20:42.

proving too much and he has to retire. Sorry lads. The Leicester

:20:43.:20:49.

chances are coming thick and fast, but can they find a winner? Go on,

:20:50.:20:55.

still believe. Unbeaten Leicester couldn't find the winter day, but

:20:56.:20:59.

the dream is still alive. Eight points clear, two games to play. I

:21:00.:21:04.

cannot take it. It is too much. It is just too much.

:21:05.:21:11.

We can feel the stress. Please, take it easy from heart attack point of

:21:12.:21:19.

Now, a Leicester victory was thought so unlikely

:21:20.:21:23.

at the beginning of the season, the odds were a whopping 5000-1,

:21:24.:21:26.

and we met a lad on the show a couple of weeks ago who stands

:21:27.:21:30.

Everyone enjoys it when the bookies lose, and they stand to pay out over

:21:31.:21:34.

To tell us about some other times they got a spanking here's

:21:35.:21:38.

the world's unluckiest bookie, Alex Riley.

:21:39.:21:39.

All these punters have got winning tickets for some of the biggest

:21:40.:21:44.

sporting upsets in history, it's gonna cost me thousands.

:21:45.:21:47.

This one is for ?10 on England to beat Australia

:21:48.:21:50.

I gave 500-1 on that just before Botham scored 149 and Willis

:21:51.:21:57.

The biggest football upset until now, the World Cup 1950,

:21:58.:22:08.

USA 1, England 0, from a time when the Americans were rubbish

:22:09.:22:16.

This one's on the unlikeliest ever male winner of Wimbledon,

:22:17.:22:25.

This one's for Buster Douglas beating Mike Tyson in 1990,

:22:26.:22:37.

Buster was 42-1 in a two-horse race, what was I thinking?

:22:38.:22:46.

You've bled me dry, just please tell me none of you bet

:22:47.:22:57.

on the only British sporting upset with longer odds

:22:58.:23:00.

than Leicester's 5000-1 - Frankie Dettori winning all seven

:23:01.:23:03.

That morning the odds were a combined 200,000-1.

:23:04.:23:17.

I'm ruined, the wife's gonna kill me.

:23:18.:23:28.

What odds would you give on our next film featuring Christine getting her

:23:29.:23:35.

hands dirty with a 61-year-old called Ferguson?

:23:36.:23:40.

If there is one thing that will get me going other than plant it is

:23:41.:23:43.

machinery and engines and this little beauty is an 1955 Ferguson T

:23:44.:23:51.

20, regarded by most folks as the first modern tractor.

:23:52.:24:00.

2016 marks the 70th anniversary of the Ferguson T 20 tractor, otherwise

:24:01.:24:08.

known as the little grey Fergie. It needs a bit of brute force. Is that

:24:09.:24:14.

what it needs? I am helping a fanatic get his beloved little grey

:24:15.:24:17.

Fergie ready for a celebration rally. Martin's family bought the

:24:18.:24:24.

tractor from a local farm in 1967. How much did you pay? ?102 and ten

:24:25.:24:31.

shillings. What do you think the value would be today? ?1500. That is

:24:32.:24:41.

a good buy. But it will never be sold, it will stay in the family and

:24:42.:24:44.

it will go down through the family and till doomsday. The only problem

:24:45.:24:52.

is, Martin's chapter will not start. She will not go. That is a bit sad.

:24:53.:24:58.

Without sounding stupid, you have got some diesel in this? I am a man,

:24:59.:25:05.

of course that is. There is not a lot, mind! We have got fuel, it has

:25:06.:25:13.

got to get through to the engine. Blockage, filters, believed it. As

:25:14.:25:18.

we crack on cleaning the filters and solving our fuel blockage, here is a

:25:19.:25:25.

bit more history. After World War II, something needed to be done to

:25:26.:25:31.

increase food production. So Irish engineer Harry Ferguson designed the

:25:32.:25:37.

T 20 tractor. What makes it so special is this unique hydraulic,

:25:38.:25:47.

3-point linkage system. One, two, three. Ferguson designed all manner

:25:48.:25:54.

of machinery, the linkage system making farming easier and faster. It

:25:55.:26:01.

was genius and modern tractors have used this 3-point linkage system

:26:02.:26:06.

ever since. We need to get the air out. It is like a radiator. What I

:26:07.:26:12.

like about engines is the simplicity. You have got four

:26:13.:26:17.

cylinders and the fuel goes in. It gets sucked in, you compress it,

:26:18.:26:25.

there is a bang and a sparkle and it goes out. That is the basic four

:26:26.:26:28.

stroke engine and it has not changed. That is it, go on, spit

:26:29.:26:36.

your heart out, alas. We have cleaned the fuel blockage and given

:26:37.:26:41.

her an oil change and she is ready for action. Shall we see if she

:26:42.:26:49.

goes? That is it. There we go! Now we can head of to the nearby Castle

:26:50.:26:57.

where the rest of the South Wales Ferguson club are gathered to

:26:58.:27:01.

celebrate 70 years of the Ferguson T 20. Two dedicated members are

:27:02.:27:09.

Caroline and Julie. It is so nice to see female chapter fans. What

:27:10.:27:15.

fascinates you about this one? It is such a lovely old tractor. It is a

:27:16.:27:21.

classic. It is the one. I had mine bought for me by my husband recently

:27:22.:27:28.

as a gift. I pinched my of my husband. And what about this pink

:27:29.:27:39.

seat? A little bit of extra padding. What could be better than the sound

:27:40.:27:46.

of a row of Fergusons all revving up. It is the simplicity of these

:27:47.:27:50.

chapters that I love and it is a real thrill to drive one. It has

:27:51.:27:55.

been a fantastic day and I would like to propose a toast and the

:27:56.:28:00.

toast is, to the little grey Fergie. I hope in 70 years' time she is

:28:01.:28:06.

still on the road and doing well. To the little grey Fergie!

:28:07.:28:13.

She was in her element. That description of a four stroke engine

:28:14.:28:22.

will go down in history. Earlier we asked for photos of animals that had

:28:23.:28:26.

taken a liking to you. Do you want to do the first? This blew into the

:28:27.:28:36.

window and then it flew off? Christopher sent this end. He was

:28:37.:28:43.

taking a picture of this horse and decided to get up close. Which one

:28:44.:28:50.

is Chris Evert? This is Colin with a blackbird 45 years ago. Look at the

:28:51.:28:57.

intensity on his face as he is lowering that worm into the

:28:58.:29:02.

blackbird's man. And this is a lesser spotted Chris Patten in a

:29:03.:29:07.

studio environment. And talking of tadpoles! We will see you tomorrow

:29:08.:29:11.

with Joan Collins.
