A sweater is not just for Christmas! In fact this wasn't | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
because I left it here. I'm feeling sorry for it, so I'm wearing it | :00:26. | :00:34. | |
tonight. We clash now! That is perfect! Tonight's guest is used to | :00:34. | :00:41. | |
hearing this noise... Now, he's having to get used to this noise! | :00:41. | :00:47. | |
He's the presenter of Britain's most talked about television show - | :00:47. | :00:57. | |
:00:57. | :01:02. | ||
the celebrity show called Splash. Look at those feet! | :01:02. | :01:12. | |
:01:12. | :01:12. | ||
A man with big feet! How are you? Hello. Nice! | :01:12. | :01:18. | |
Good evening. Good evening. You and I have worked on some terrible | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
television programmes before! Where does this one rank amongst them? | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
Christopher! What a way to start an interview! It is up to you what the | :01:28. | :01:36. | |
answer is. It has shown to six million viewers. Six-and-a-half | :01:36. | :01:45. | |
million viewers. Boy, it has caused controversy. The show is on at ITV | :01:45. | :01:53. | |
at 7pm. The death channel. It's not the death channel. Seven million- | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
plus for Family Fortunes on a Sunday. What's wrong with that? | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
There's nothing wrong with it. Splash is fantastic. It is the | :02:04. | :02:12. | |
hangover from Christmas. You want to see celebrities in tight Lycra, | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
jumping ten metres into a swimming pool. It's as camp as your sweater! | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
I have not seen the show. I have an image of it in my head. I want it | :02:21. | :02:27. | |
to be what it is like in my head. What is it like in your head? | :02:27. | :02:37. | |
:02:37. | :02:46. | ||
to watch it. Last week Amajili dived. He did it from ten metres. I | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
have been practiseing in the dry pool. There is a try one back stage | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
where they practise. It is a pool full of sponge. I have sneaked off | :02:54. | :03:01. | |
during lunch and lived in there. How deep is it? Five metres. It is | :03:01. | :03:11. | |
:03:11. | :03:11. | ||
a nightmare getting out! Is it like a play pen for adults? | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
Have you found anybody down there? Just tapes that you and I have made | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
in the past. Have you been up to the 10 metre diving board? There | :03:22. | :03:29. | |
was one where I looked down. They said, "And to you, Vernon." You | :03:29. | :03:35. | |
know when the knees go. I was like, it is really high. Looking from | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
ground level, it is Nottingham look that high... Are you going to do | :03:41. | :03:49. | |
it? I will give it a go. We heard there is a rumour you will dive off | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
the ten metre board on the last show. When is that last show - is | :03:53. | :04:00. | |
it tomorrow, or will it carry on? When is it? First week of February. | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
You have said now you will do it, you'll have to do it. Tonight we | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
will answer this question - why do we go wrinkly if we stay in the | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
pool or bath too long? Researches at Newcastle University think they | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
know the answer. We will put their answer to the test with a smooth- | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
handed Vernon Kay. Put your hand in this water and leave it in there | :04:24. | :04:30. | |
until we tell you to pull it out. Will I spend the whole of the show | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
like this? We would appreciate it. What if I need the toilet. We have | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
warmed the water. While we wait for him to go wrinkly. Here is Justin | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
Rowlatt, on the search of the guilty who smuggle drugs and | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
weapons. Last year, nearly three tonnes of cocaine were intercepted | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
by the UK Border Agencys in seizures like this one, when 47 | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
kilos of the drug were uncovered on a boat that haddocked in Portsmouth. | :05:00. | :05:10. | |
:05:10. | :05:11. | ||
It was a record -- which has docked in Portsmouth. It was a record. | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
Every day attempts are made to smuggle drugs into our ports T | :05:17. | :05:23. | |
first defence is a special section of Britain's Border Force. The | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
curiously named National Deep Rummage Team. It is the term given | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
to a specialised and detailed searching of every compartment and | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
cavity of a ship. Today, four teams of officers operate across the UK. | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
Although they were founded in 2004, the problem they tackle is anything | :05:44. | :05:51. | |
but new. For as long as there's been a tax on goods, there's been | :05:51. | :05:57. | |
smuggling through our ports. Official documents from the 1700s | :05:57. | :06:04. | |
carry report of tea, silk and wool hidden. | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
Similar techniques they use today - although smugglers have become more | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
sophisticated. It is here in Liverpool, at the headquarters of | :06:10. | :06:18. | |
the National Deep Rummage Team that operatives are trained to combat | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
them, on this very special vessel here. In 1989, 17 tonnes of | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
cannabis was discovered on board the ship. Customs officials not | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
only seized the drugs but impounded the boat as well. It was given to | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
the team here in Liverpool. They use it to train customs officers | :06:35. | :06:41. | |
from all over the world. We train officers to look for space on | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
vessels, look for contrabands, drugs, firearms - anything that is | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
illegal. Where could you hide stuff? In the tanks, the cabins n | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
the engine. What kind of skills do your officers need? One of the | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
greatest things to have is imagination. You have to put your | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
imagination in the mind of the criminal and think how you would | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
smuggle against a colleague. How would you bring it in? So, Paul has | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
asked me to search this cabin. I know more than he normally does | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
when he is rummaging, because he has told me there is definitely | :07:16. | :07:24. | |
something here. The question is - where? Definitely nothing there! | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
How disappointing! There's nothing there! | :07:27. | :07:36. | |
It is demoralising. There's space everywhere. Hold on a second! After | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
searching for 30 minutes and finding less than half of the | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
hidden contraband, I call in an expert. So you missed a few obvious | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
ones. Have I? Like where? There's some.... Oh, the shoes! | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
In here there's a piece of wood that goes that way. On top is a big | :07:58. | :08:04. | |
package. In here is a Taser. That is a cattle prod. Having had a go | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
at the training myself, it is time to see it put into practise for | :08:09. | :08:15. | |
real. I am accompanying the team on a routine inspection of a ship from | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
Colombia. Look at the scale of this monster! The guys tell me this is | :08:21. | :08:27. | |
quite a small ship. It gives you an idea of the task they face. Some | :08:27. | :08:33. | |
carry up to 1400 containers. If you laid them end to end they would | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
stretch for something like 44 miles. It is an enormous task. This has | :08:39. | :08:46. | |
come from South America. That may raise issues of drugs, I suppose? | :08:46. | :08:53. | |
You cannot say that every one will have drugs on board. It poses a | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
danger to us because of the possibility. The team set off to | :08:57. | :09:05. | |
search the ship. A routine rummage can take between six and 12 hours N | :09:05. | :09:11. | |
this case, they found nothing. So, this ship gets the all-clear. | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
With an estimated 25-30 tonnes of cocaine coming into the country | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
every year, Britain's rummage teams are going to have to go on | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
rummaging. Thank you, Justin. Yes. | :09:23. | :09:33. | |
:09:33. | :09:34. | ||
I thought you would do the next bit. What? The rest of the show? And he | :09:34. | :09:40. | |
goes on about Splash! It's the new way apparently. You're on telly | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
twice over the weekend. Splash is on Saturday, 7pm. Family Fortunes | :09:46. | :09:52. | |
at 7.45pm. I know what you mean, the double-bubble Vernon. | :09:52. | :10:02. | |
:10:02. | :10:04. | ||
Have you fallen out with them by any chance? OK, so I was in Africa | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
earlier on in the week. There is a question for you. Let's see this. | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
So, Vernon, I was wondering if you can share with us how you manage to | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
go through a whole episode of Splash in 90 degrees heat and never | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
get a sweat patch? You have a secret, don't you? I do. I will | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
reveal it. Basically, there's a kind of, it is like a showbiz | :10:28. | :10:34. | |
secret, I guess. It's the equivalent of panty pads that you | :10:34. | :10:43. | |
put on a vest that stop you sweating. It is like 40 degrees | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
within the swimming pool. It is boiling hot. I wore a vest lined | :10:48. | :10:54. | |
with these sweat pads that soak it up. Really? If you dived in, is it | :10:54. | :11:00. | |
dove or dived, by the way? Dived. You would swell up and have to be | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
dispersed in that little bin in the lady's toilets! | :11:05. | :11:11. | |
Yes, with the needles and stuff. Family Fortunes is back! | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
What a family on this week. Yes, Louie Spence. | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
You did a bit of dancing with Louie Spence, which we can see. When he's | :11:21. | :11:31. | |
:11:31. | :11:55. | ||
This is random me sat here with my hand in the water. Vernon is part | :11:55. | :12:01. | |
of an experiment about wrinkly skin. The Spences were up against the | :12:01. | :12:08. | |
Bacons. Very committed to winning. The Spences didn't know what it was. | :12:08. | :12:18. | |
:12:18. | :12:24. | ||
What was their top answer? When you have low wee it is 100 -- Louie it | :12:24. | :12:31. | |
is 1hunhunmirl. You are second to Bob Monkhouse? When I first got | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
into this, it is one of the shows I always wanted to host - it is | :12:36. | :12:45. | |
iconicnd good fun. You get some reel proper fun. It will go on for | :12:45. | :12:51. | |
ever. Fingers crossed. Unlike some of us! | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
Over the next few months, you have the best chance of spotting the | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
Northern Lights here in Britain than you have had in the last 50 | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
years apparently. It is a light show that originates out in outer | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
space. The coast of County Antrim is one | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
of the most traumatic the UK has to offer. But I am not here to admire | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
the landscape. I've come here to Northern Ireland, | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
to see one of the most spectacular light shows on the planet. | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
We've been watching the weather conditions for the best part of a | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
year until now when we think that they will be just about perfect. | :13:28. | :13:37. | |
Fingers crossed. The auraur borealis or northern | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
lights is a natural phenomenon. How and why does it happen? Every now | :13:43. | :13:53. | |
:13:53. | :13:55. | ||
and again, the sun spews out huge amounts of charged particles. It is | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
a CME. They race across space to the Earth. Now, the Earth has a | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
magnetic field which starts at the North Pole and goes out and around | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
like that. It goes down to the South Pole., now all those charged | :14:09. | :14:17. | |
particles hit this magnetic force field around the Earth. Most just | :14:17. | :14:23. | |
bounce auve, but some get funnel -- bounce off. But some get funnelled | :14:23. | :14:29. | |
in to the North Pole. They let off a coloured display. That is how we | :14:29. | :14:39. | |
:14:39. | :14:41. | ||
This astronomer and photographer has been spotting auroras here for | :14:41. | :14:51. | |
:14:51. | :14:52. | ||
the last 18 years, with amazing results. This is an excellent time | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
to see them, there is due to be a peak in 2013. There could not be a | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
better time. I thought you had to be way up north in Norway or in the | :15:02. | :15:07. | |
Arctic Circle or something. Not at all. A lot of people have been up | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
there to see it, seeing nothing at all, and come back here. When not | :15:12. | :15:18. | |
outside, Martyn is indoors, looking at Space weather websites. | :15:18. | :15:24. | |
Satellite monitor the sun 24 hours a day, and monitor its service, | :15:24. | :15:30. | |
including coronal mass ejections. It might be that we have several | :15:30. | :15:36. | |
heading our way, dude to impact on the earth in a couple of days. | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
see an aurora, we will need let's skies, so the weather has to play | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
ball. There will be a lot of clear skies tonight, so watch out for the | :15:46. | :15:53. | |
aurora. If you're lucky, you might catch a glimpse... As a long-term | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
stargazer, Martin knows the best spots for seeing the Northern | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
Lights. This harbour is one of the most northerly points on the coast | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
of Northern Ireland. It is really dark, there is no night. We have a | :16:07. | :16:14. | |
flat ocean to the north, the only thing in the way being Scotland and | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
the Arctic Circle. We could not be in a better location. Often you can | :16:19. | :16:25. | |
see auroras with a long exposure on the camera. So, Martin has got two | :16:25. | :16:30. | |
cameras trained on the sky. If it is there, we will catch it. The | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
cloud of particles we are waiting for left the sun three days ago. It | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
has got to make a journey of 150 million kilometres, and | :16:39. | :16:45. | |
understandably, it is running late. It could happen in the minute now. | :16:45. | :16:52. | |
However hard I stare, the sky still looks black to me. But at last, | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
just after one o'clock in the morning, we get our first sniff of | :16:56. | :17:05. | |
success. Can you see these red beams? That's aurora activity | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
further north, proved that activity is starting. Just their later, when | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
we string a series of images together in a time lapse, there is | :17:14. | :17:20. | |
a clear, green glow moving on the horizon. An aurora borealis in the | :17:20. | :17:28. | |
UK, definitely worth the wait. Exciting, isn't it? How can we see | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
the aurora? First of all, you have to sign up to one of the aurora | :17:34. | :17:39. | |
watch websites, and they will let you know when it is going to happen. | :17:39. | :17:47. | |
But you will not be banned if you do not do that?! No, but unless the | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
solo weather is right, you cannot see it. You want to beat out from | :17:52. | :17:58. | |
around 10 minutes before midnight, somewhere north facing. The further | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
north you are, the better your chances. Next week I believe may be | :18:01. | :18:07. | |
good, it depends what the sun does in the next few days. If it | :18:07. | :18:13. | |
splurges out one of these huge events, then we will see the aurora. | :18:13. | :18:19. | |
You need 20 minutes out in the dark before your eyes become accustomed. | :18:19. | :18:28. | |
No drink, no cigarettes. Carrots? Booze and cigarettes reduce the | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
blood circulation at the back of your eyes, knowing your ability to | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
see in the dark. We were becoming back later to see the results of | :18:37. | :18:45. | |
this experiment. Yes, I have got a few things to set up first. Vernon | :18:45. | :18:52. | |
Kay is currently on TV twice every weekend. He is on Saturday's with | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
Splash!, and Sundays, with Family Fortunes. We thought we would | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
combine them, with a kind of Splash!-themed Family Fortunes. | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
Soap, the deal is, we're going to ask three questions, and you need | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
to try to get the top answer each time. If you get the top answer, | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
you can choose a dive from around the world, and the dives are on | :19:16. | :19:26. | |
:19:26. | :19:32. | ||
videotape. The clues are Eek!, Wow! And Splash!. If I get the answers | :19:32. | :19:39. | |
right, then maybe you will wear these, which I had made in the | :19:39. | :19:48. | |
costume department. You borrowed them off me last time you were here. | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
You and I have worked together several times, and I know you like | :19:53. | :20:00. | |
these. This is how it all began, and how it ended. Let's play the | :20:00. | :20:06. | |
game! Firstly, we asked 100 people to give us another term for male | :20:06. | :20:16. | |
:20:16. | :20:18. | ||
swimwear. What was the top answer? Male swimwear? Drunks. -- trunks. | :20:18. | :20:27. | |
This is what the survey said. Here we go... Pick a dive from around | :20:27. | :20:37. | |
:20:37. | :20:44. | ||
the world. Eek! OK je if I had to introduce that first. Never ever do | :20:44. | :20:54. | |
:20:54. | :20:56. | ||
that! Splash again, Mr Evans! asked 100 people to name something | :20:56. | :21:01. | |
you are not allowed to do in a swimming pool. No bombing, no heavy | :21:01. | :21:11. | |
:21:11. | :21:16. | ||
petting, no running, no smoking. It has got to be taking a wee. This is | :21:16. | :21:23. | |
what the survey said.. Everybody in the gallery, calm down. Vernon, | :21:23. | :21:33. | |
:21:33. | :21:35. | ||
what would you like? I will go for Wow!. OK, this one is a man jumping | :21:35. | :21:43. | |
from 177ft, the highest dive ever successfully attempted... Some rain | :21:43. | :21:53. | |
:21:53. | :21:59. | ||
he did it backwards! -- oh, he did it backwards! Here we go, the final | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
one - we asked 100 people to describe Splash! In one word. What | :22:04. | :22:14. | |
:22:14. | :22:18. | ||
did the public say? Epic! OK, let's see if epic was the top answer. | :22:18. | :22:26. | |
They just play this clip anyway. This is the moment Professor | :22:26. | :22:32. | |
Splash! Dived 36ft into a paddling pool filled with just 12 inches of | :22:33. | :22:42. | |
:22:43. | :22:45. | ||
water. Was there at real? Absolutely. But do not do that, he | :22:45. | :22:53. | |
is a stunt diver. Now, the only problem with driving along in an | :22:54. | :23:03. | |
open-top car is that it plays havoc with your hair. But it is not a | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
problem for our Street Barber Michael. I like a bit of classic | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
styling, but it gets a bit boring sitting in the passenger seat. Can | :23:11. | :23:20. | |
No. So, what about the wives and girlfriends? I have come to Cumbria | :23:20. | :23:30. | |
:23:30. | :23:31. | ||
to give them a bit of pampering. Are you happy to be here today? | :23:31. | :23:41. | |
:23:41. | :23:45. | ||
really, no. Are you a classic car widow? Probably. They are taking | :23:45. | :23:52. | |
this really seriously. It is all about how the cars look. So, this | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
is the lovely Sarah. How long have you been coming to these kind of | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
events? Probably five or six years. Did you have to be talked into it? | :24:00. | :24:06. | |
Yes, to start off with. So, is your partner one careful owner? He is | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
very careful. Your car has to move to the garage to allow room for his | :24:11. | :24:18. | |
car? It does.. How many different cars has he got? He has got four. I | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
do not get to drive them, because I am assured, I do not reach the | :24:22. | :24:32. | |
:24:32. | :24:33. | ||
pedals. Well, it is looking sure to! This win is not helping, is it? | :24:33. | :24:43. | |
:24:43. | :24:48. | ||
It is not, no. How is that? It is If James Bond drove a three-wheeler, | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
it would definitely be one of these. I'm not sure it would go under | :24:53. | :24:58. | |
water. I was expecting to find loads of unhappy women being | :24:58. | :25:04. | |
dragged to these classic car events, but not you. She takes the prizes, | :25:04. | :25:10. | |
lets me polish it! So, this is Ruth, and she loves classic cars, a bit | :25:11. | :25:17. | |
like me. How long have you been an enthusiast? We have had 1930s cars | :25:17. | :25:23. | |
for about 30 years. Have you always known about engines and stuff? | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
always used me as the small hand you could get around the back of an | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
engine. Then I married a man who was interested in engines, so I do | :25:30. | :25:39. | |
not have to get my hands dirty now. That's fine, thank you. Only fine? | :25:39. | :25:45. | |
Considering it is so windy! Yes, consider ring that, it is all right, | :25:45. | :25:53. | |
isn't it?! Oh, the good old mini Cooper. I have got one of these, | :25:53. | :25:58. | |
although it is not as old as this. Are you happy to be here they fact | :25:58. | :26:04. | |
yes, I would be happier if the sun was shining. I have got 11 of these. | :26:04. | :26:09. | |
What is your normal car? It is a Vauxhall Astra convertible. That is | :26:09. | :26:16. | |
a bit sporty, isn't it? Not really, no. I have got a Ferrari. Where do | :26:16. | :26:25. | |
you keep that? In the kitchen. Yes, we made a big door, and it goes in | :26:25. | :26:32. | |
sideways, with a lot of difficulty.. Have you got any motorbikes? Yes. | :26:32. | :26:42. | |
:26:42. | :26:43. | ||
Anything else? Lots of tractors. How many is a lot? 30 or 40. It is | :26:43. | :26:51. | |
lovely to have a bit of TLC sat in the car! Kay can look. How is that? | :26:51. | :27:01. | |
:27:01. | :27:02. | ||
I thought I would find loads more classic car Widows today, but it | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
turns out that being in the passenger seat is not that bad at | :27:05. | :27:12. | |
all. At least you got your hair cut! Science club time, and we are | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
trying to prove why you go wrinkly in the bath. Scientists think they | :27:16. | :27:26. | |
have the answer. Let's have a look at your hands. It feels wrinkly. We | :27:26. | :27:29. | |
recorded earlier Vernon moving marbles from one bowl to another, | :27:29. | :27:35. | |
and you managed 34 in 30 seconds. That was with unwrinkled fingers. | :27:35. | :27:41. | |
That's the key. Now,, with a wrinkly hand, can you do the same | :27:41. | :27:51. | |
:27:51. | :27:54. | ||
number in Leicester and? Are you ready? Go! -- in less time. The | :27:54. | :27:58. | |
idea is that peasant ancient ancestors, way back when we were | :27:58. | :28:03. | |
monkeys in trees, evolved this so that they could grip wet trees and | :28:03. | :28:10. | |
branches and what have you, and it would give them that advantage. If | :28:10. | :28:15. | |
you cannot do this, Vernon, it means evolution is wrong! Three, | :28:15. | :28:25. | |
:28:25. | :28:27. | ||
two, one... Stop! 35 beats 34! were getting a bit stressed towards | :28:27. | :28:33. | |
the end, but you have done it. Isn't it great to have him back in | :28:33. | :28:39. | |
the studio? Thanks to our guests today. Splash! Is on tomorrow from | :28:39. | :28:48. |
