Hello and welcome to The One Show with Alex Jones. And Matt Baker. | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
Tonight's Guest has done a few strange things in the name of | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
entertainment. He has interviewed Tom Cruise in a garden shed. | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
skied around an office with Simon Pegg. But when not surrounded by | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
showbiz, he likes digging around in the banks of a muddy river. We hope | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
he has had a good wash - the surprisingly lovely smiling Johnny | :00:39. | :00:49. | |
:00:49. | :00:50. | ||
Vaughan! I am just washing my hands after all the mud. You must be | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
filthy when you get home. What does your wife say? About the filth? | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
you have to take your shoes off? have to decontaminate. It is like | :01:00. | :01:06. | |
coming from a nuclear power plant. We have the poster for this series. | :01:06. | :01:14. | |
Look at the size of my travel. My trowel is bigger than his. It is | :01:14. | :01:21. | |
the second series. Yes. I was given the bigger trowel to make Steve a | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
bit inferior, because he has all the knowledge. What I lose in | :01:26. | :01:32. | |
knowledge I make up for in keenness and by having a massive trowel. | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
will see what antiquities Johnny has been unearthing later. Now, as | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
the 30th anniversary of the Falklands war is just weeks away, | :01:40. | :01:47. | |
in a moment we will be joined live by some of the islanders. Before | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
then, here is why the Falklands are back in the spotlight. At the a | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
maybe smaller than Yorkshire, and home to fewer than 3000 souls, but | :01:57. | :02:04. | |
the Falklands have been British since 1833. | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
In neighbouring Argentina, they see things differently. They say the | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
islands they call the Malvinas were theirs first and should fly an | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
Argentinian flag. Tensions are at their highest since the day 30 | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
years ago this April when Argentinian troops came ashore. By | :02:19. | :02:26. | |
the time the Union flag flew again over Port Stanley, 655 Argentinian | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
and 255 British servicemen had lost their lives. Nobody is suggesting | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
that another conflict is around the corner, but what is happening now | :02:34. | :02:41. | |
is more than just a war of words. The objective -- they object to | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
Britain deploying a state-of-the- art destroyer and accused Prince | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
William of wearing the role of a conqueror when he arrived. Britain | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
insists that the operations are routine and David Cameron has | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
accused the Argentinians of colonialism. Not an accusation you | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
often hear from the lips of a British prime minister. We support | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
the Falkland Islanders' right to self-determination. The | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
Argentinians have been saying something that is far more like | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
colonialism. So heated is the Argentinian mood as the anniversary | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
approaches that the country's Football League wants to name | :03:16. | :03:26. | |
itself after the Belgrano cruiser sunk by the British in 1982. | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
Argentinian President Christina Fernandez de Kirchner knows how it | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
plays among voters. The British government has repeatedly its | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
promise to listen to the islanders. These people want to remain British. | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
The Argentinians want them to do something else. While fighting may | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
be unlikely, Falkland Islanders have to contend with higher food | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
prices and a growing sense of isolation. | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
We will be hearing from some of the island as soon via Skype from the | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
capital, Stanley. Also here is Sukey Cameron, the Falkland Islands | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
representative in the UK, herself a third generation islander. | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
Argentinian Celia Szusterman, an academic specialising in Latin | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
America history and politics. Celia, quite a strong reaction from an | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
Argentinian point of view, with the arrival of Prince William. That was | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
not how it was reported here. it, but in Argentina it was seen as | :04:17. | :04:23. | |
a provocation because he was arriving in military uniform. The | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
problem is that Argentina's perception of what happens in the | :04:28. | :04:35. | |
UK and the role of the royal family and so on is distorted. It went | :04:35. | :04:42. | |
down badly. But he is just a serviceman. Of course. That sounds | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
very normal from here. But from over there, it was seen as a | :04:47. | :04:54. | |
provocation. Can I ask, what is the basis of | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
their superior claim on the Malvinas? It is 350 miles from | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
their coast, which is outside international waters. It is | :05:03. | :05:09. | |
populated by British citizens. entirely. But they have a right to | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
self-determination. They like being under a connection with Britain. | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
What is the Argentinian case? mostly a historical case, based on | :05:20. | :05:27. | |
the fact that in 1833, there was a group of Argentines living on the | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
islands with their own government appointed from Buenos Aires. In | :05:30. | :05:39. | |
1833, they were unceremoniously or ceremoniously told to leave. That | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
marks the point when Argentina feels that it was used at an their | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
land was taken away. That is disputed. It is the island's today | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
that are important. It is about the 3000 people who are | :05:54. | :06:04. | |
:06:04. | :06:04. | ||
there today. Guys, have connected do you feel to Britain? You are | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
8000 miles away. Stacy? We feel very connected. Our culture is | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
totally British. We enjoy watching British television programmes. We | :06:14. | :06:20. | |
feel very connected to the outside world and as British as and as can | :06:20. | :06:27. | |
But a, you three are public servants, but is there anybody over | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
there who is less keen on Argentinian -- who is keen on | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
Argentinian will? Our I can't think of anyone who really is. At the | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
moment, it seems that the Argentinian government does not | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
recognise that the Falklands Islands people should have a say in | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
what happens to the way they are governed and their future. It does | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
not recognise that we do govern how our own affairs here and make our | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
own laws and determine how our economy develops and how we spend | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
the money we earn from our resources. It is hard to believe | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
that if we were governed by Argentina, they would recognise our | :07:01. | :07:08. | |
rights. Roddy, we understand that Argentina places you under a few | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
restrictions anyway. What is it like living under those | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
constraints? Our day-to-day lives have not changed much. The price of | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
fresh produce has increased a bit. But we are resourceful people. We | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
have found ways around it. It has affected some businesses, but | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
nothing that would stop our way of life. But will it change if they | :07:34. | :07:43. | |
take sovereignty? Absolutely. It would change completely. Pippa was | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
saying that she does not know of anybody who would want Argentina to | :07:48. | :07:54. | |
be in charge. As far as I'm concerned, that is the case. I do | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
not agree that the island ofs' views should not be taken into | :07:58. | :08:04. | |
account. That is not a decision that I hold. There have been | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
Argentine governments in the past who were interested in | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
understanding the point of view of the islanders. Aren't people just | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
using it for political capital, to whip up a bit of support at home | :08:16. | :08:22. | |
without regard for the 3000 people who live there? They might be a | :08:22. | :08:31. | |
handful of people who support it. That is a point. That is why there | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
is a dispute. Ideally, people should talk to one another and come | :08:36. | :08:43. | |
to an agreement. Have do you think this will wrap up? We had a good | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
relationship with the Argentines in the 1990s. We had agreements over | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
fisheries, hydrocarbons and so on. But the current Argentine | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
government have ripped those up. So we do not know what will happen | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
over future relations with Argentina. But our sovereignty is | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
not for negotiation. We are British. With the 30th anniversary | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
approaching, an MP -- MPs are planning to visit the Falklands in | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
the coming weeks. It is certainly an issue that is far from over. | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
She will kick, we will be talking to you, Johnny, about bigging in | :09:16. | :09:22. | |
mud. I am still stirred by your words. But instead of digging in | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
mud, you should have looked down the drains. This is why. | :09:26. | :09:32. | |
Imagine you are going about an honest day's graft, and you stumble | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
across a �21,000 Rolex watch abandoned in a drain. Do you put it | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
on and keep your mouth shut, or hand it in to the police? I would | :09:41. | :09:48. | |
keep it. Why? The Karzai would want a �21,000 Rolex watch. I would hand | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
it in. I would keep it. If it was that expensive, I would hand it in. | :09:53. | :10:00. | |
Keep it. Rather than pocket the �21,000 for himself, this is the | :10:00. | :10:09. | |
man who promptly handed it to the authorities. You might find the | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
occasional earring, broken bracelet down the drains. Nothing of value. | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
�21,000 is a hell of a lot. How long would it take you to earn that | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
much? That would be a yearly salary. Was there a moment when you thought, | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
I am going to put this in my pocket and walk away? I never hesitated on | :10:28. | :10:36. | |
that. Shall I have a go at finding some watches? Yes. But it seems | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
that honest Aaron maybe it's a -- an exception, as research suggests | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
that for Brits, honesty may not always be the best policy. The in | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
our research at the centre for integrity at the University of | :10:48. | :10:54. | |
Essex, we have looked at attitudes to issues of honesty. We find that | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
people are less honest now than ten years ago. There are more likely to | :10:58. | :11:04. | |
tell lies. If they find somebody's wallet in the street, they are more | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
likely to keep it. There is not much difference between men and | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
women on honesty. And there is not much difference between | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
professionals and ordinary working people. But the time is not up on | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
Aaron's 15 minutes of fame yet, because yesterday he made another | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
discovery - three more luxury watches. This is ridiculous. | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
Presumably you planted those watches. You wanted to get on TV. | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
No, we did not plant them, they were genuinely found down the | :11:34. | :11:40. | |
drains. What will happen to them? We will take them to Southend | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
police station. It is unusual to find watches in the drains. It is | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
the first time I have heard of it. It will be part of our ongoing | :11:49. | :11:57. | |
investigation. It may be a burglary or robbery. If nobody claims these | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
watches in the next 30 days and you will become the owner of �60,000 | :12:01. | :12:09. | |
worth of property? Yes. Let me buy you a drink! | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
He must be keeping his fingers crossed. 30 days. When it goes | :12:14. | :12:23. | |
right down to the wire, day 29...! You have a nice watch. I was | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
surprised by this, because he found at the Rolex first, a very | :12:28. | :12:37. | |
fashionable watch. But on every single Rolex, below 6 o'clock, in | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
between is a serial number which will give you the exact number of | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
the watch. And at the top, above the 12 o'clock, each watch as a | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
serial number. So when you buy one, you register with Rolex so that | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
they can trace each watch. It should be an easy job for them to | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
find the owner. I hope he is not watching, thinking, cheers for | :12:57. | :13:04. | |
telling a(!) But they can follow it down. They found they Frank Muller | :13:04. | :13:11. | |
watch as well. You seem to be attracted to things. Is that where | :13:11. | :13:19. | |
Mud Men comes from? I guess I was attracted to the feeling of | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
treasure. If you have not seen the show, 10 o'clock on the History | :13:23. | :13:31. | |
Channel. There is an expert, Steve, and an enthusiast, me, on the shore | :13:31. | :13:38. | |
of the Thames, digging things up. I only have a three-inch licence. | :13:38. | :13:44. | |
Steve can go down to a metre. Do you want to see my three-inch | :13:44. | :13:53. | |
licence? I love it when he does this. This is your area. It is so | :13:53. | :14:01. | |
uncomfortable after sitting here for five minutes. This has gone | :14:01. | :14:08. | |
rusty. I will put it on the Rock. And exactly as they do at the | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
museum, I will tablet. Viewers at home were think it is terrible to | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
do that with chain-mail. I don't think people at home have strong | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
feelings about this. You might be overestimating how much passion | :14:19. | :14:26. | |
chain-mail excites. And your hero is here with a tray full of | :14:26. | :14:36. | |
:14:36. | :14:41. | ||
I have to say, the trainee is yours. Steve Brooker, ladies and gentlemen. | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
They would not let me through security, which is why I am late. | :14:46. | :14:52. | |
This is the chain mail you were talking about. This is how it came | :14:52. | :15:00. | |
out. This is a bomb. That was an exploded when you found it. This is | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
how it comes out. It comes to the surface and starts to erode. But if | :15:05. | :15:11. | |
you catch it in the mud, it looks like this. Anaerobic mad means that | :15:11. | :15:18. | |
the Thames cannot get in. The Thames preserves everything. What | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
is a personal favourite of yours? If anyone goes to the foreshore of | :15:23. | :15:28. | |
the Thames, anyone will see these clay pipes. These are everywhere. | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
They used to go down like cigarette burns. Everyone used to have these. | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
The stems have got longer and longer and the ball got bigger and | :15:37. | :15:44. | |
bigger. How old is that one? When tobacco first comes in, it is mega | :15:44. | :15:54. | |
:15:54. | :15:56. | ||
expensive. The was it mega You can see why this is such a good | :15:56. | :16:04. | |
show. In the 18 hundreds it was in abundance, and quite a fashion | :16:04. | :16:14. | |
:16:14. | :16:15. | ||
statement. We have 30 seconds. Can you whip around that quickly? | :16:15. | :16:25. | |
:16:25. | :16:25. | ||
padlock. This is 400 years old. Because of the mud, it is in | :16:25. | :16:35. | |
:16:35. | :16:38. | ||
perfect condition. How many padlocks do you own? 3000. That is | :16:38. | :16:43. | |
amazing. The foreshore is extremely dangerous. You need to know what | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
you're doing. There is lots of Ordnance down there. Where is that | :16:48. | :16:56. | |
one from? They are on the History Channel tonight at 10pm. It is good | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
entertainment, actually. We have seen that. Animal rescue charities | :17:01. | :17:06. | |
have found a huge rise in the mud of dogs being bought online. | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
the risk of buying something on the internet is that you never know | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
exactly what you are going to get. Do you remember when that canoe | :17:13. | :17:20. | |
arrived at your house? Nightmare. We are known as a nation of dog- | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
lovers and there are now around 8 million dog owners in the UK. I | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
know just how important it is to get the right pet, but how and | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
where we are buying dogs, that is changing. They are now thousands | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
for sale on internet websites and increasing numbers of people are | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
shopping online for the perfect pooch. Gone are the days when you | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
had to wait for your neighbour to have puppies. Internet websites now | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
offer every shape, size, colour and breed you could ever imagine. But | :17:50. | :17:57. | |
if you are buying online, it is definitely a case of buyer beware. | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
This family were already dog owners when one month ago they decided to | :18:01. | :18:08. | |
look for a new puppy. I was looking on the internet one day, and I came | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
across a Jack Russell cross sure why hour. She looked cute. I fell | :18:12. | :18:19. | |
in love with her. They arranged to visit the puppy. We had a text | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
telling us that the puppy had had an accident and its leg had been | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
squashed in the doorway of the kitchen. We went to have a look at | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
the puppy. When she ran in from the garden to the kitchen, you could | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
see straight away that it was not just bruising, as we were told. | :18:35. | :18:42. | |
What were you thinking? I just wanted to get it out of there. | :18:42. | :18:47. | |
eager to rescue the puppy, they paid �150 and took her to the vet | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
straight away. X-rays revealed that the leg had been broken for some | :18:50. | :18:56. | |
time and required a major operation. Ruby is now settling into her new | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
home, but she faces further treatment on her injured leg. So, | :19:00. | :19:07. | |
how much has this cost you? Since we bought Ruby, we have spent about | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
1200 pounds on veterinary bills, which we cannot claim back on | :19:11. | :19:18. | |
insurance. But not all owners who buy from unregulated websites are | :19:18. | :19:24. | |
willing to foot the bill when things go wrong. Animal charities | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
are already inundated with abandoned dogs and they now face an | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
extra strain on resources. Unwanted, and in some cases seriously ill | :19:32. | :19:39. | |
dogs handed in by owners who have been duped into buying them online. | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
We see a lot of owners that may have taken on dogs that are ill, | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
unwell. The problem is that people will often pay for those puppies, | :19:47. | :19:53. | |
which is putting money into the pockets of bad breeders. Sue and | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
Arthur are big animal lovers. After the death of their beloved German | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
shepherd, they bought a golden retriever puppy from an online | :20:00. | :20:06. | |
advert. We decided that it looked fine, so we took it. As we got into | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
the car, he said to me, you might want to put something on the floor | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
because the dog has a bit of diarrhoea. When they got the puppy | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
home, its condition started to get worse. The next morning I got up | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
and looked at it and I thought, there is something wrong, straight | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
away. The first thing the vet said was that this dog was seriously | :20:28. | :20:35. | |
poorly. Oscar had to be put down. Despite their bad experience, a few | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
months later they bought another puppy from a different breed of. | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
did it differently. We did a bit more homework. It was a fantastic | :20:43. | :20:50. | |
puppy, wasn't it? Really looked after. I thought, great breeder. | :20:50. | :20:56. | |
And then I noticed it started going downhill. I thought, oh, no, it | :20:56. | :21:01. | |
can't be. The puppy's condition rapidly deteriorated and he died | :21:01. | :21:08. | |
soon after. Testss revealed he had a highly contagious virus in an | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
vaccinated dogs. The vet told him the most likely courted from traces | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
left in the house from the previous dog that they had bought online. | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
have had them all our life, we love dogs. I could not believe we were | :21:21. | :21:27. | |
having this kind of bad luck. were also left with a vet bill of | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
over �1,000. And it is to prevent tragic cases like this that dog | :21:31. | :21:37. | |
charities are calling for action. We are working with a lot of other | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
charities in the UK to try to make sure that we can get systems in | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
place to try to regulate the little bit more that goes on the internet | :21:43. | :21:50. | |
and the websites selling puppies. Lucy is with us. This is not Lucy, | :21:50. | :21:57. | |
this is Freddie. Thank you for the clarification. That is Freddie, | :21:57. | :22:05. | |
this is Quaker. A very friendly dog! That was a very good joke. | :22:05. | :22:13. | |
Mayra 14 weeks old, point across. - - they are 14 weeks old. They are | :22:13. | :22:20. | |
being rehome and by the Dogs Trust, Harefield. If you want a new dog, | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
the advice is to go to a rehome ing Centre. Some people like to go on | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
Lynn but there are no registered websites. It is not like buying a | :22:30. | :22:38. | |
handbag. Tell them about when you bought handbag online. I got a | :22:38. | :22:45. | |
canoe. There is a difference when you are buying a dog. There are no | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
registered websites and the animal charities are working to get a code | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
of conduct. The key is to do as much homework as you can about | :22:52. | :22:59. | |
where the dog has come from. It is difficult with a rescue Centre. | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
it is crucial not to just see the mother dog, but to make sure that | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
if you see the victory paperwork and that she had her vaccinations. | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
If the puppy is too young to have vaccinations, make sure the mother | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
had hers and they have not got fleas or worms. And make sure that | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
where the dog has been brought up is clean and people know what they | :23:18. | :23:26. | |
are talking about. Let's have a look at Geoff Crowe. That is my new | :23:26. | :23:34. | |
dog, replacing Harvey. He is one year old. I got him because the | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
kennel was a bulldog breeder that I used to put my old bulldog with. I | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
was gutted when he passed away, so they were looking out for one for | :23:42. | :23:49. | |
me. Bulldogs can have a lot of problems with breathing. We will | :23:49. | :23:55. | |
leave you chatting! Do you have a dog? Yes, I grew up with Border | :23:55. | :24:01. | |
collies but now I have a labrador. We will talk while the film is on. | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
Henry Moore is one of the most famous sculptors of the 20th | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
century and recently one of his reclining figures sold at an | :24:08. | :24:16. | |
auction for an economic downturn defying �19.1 million. Arthur Smith | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
went to Henry Moore's family home to find out what inspired this | :24:19. | :24:29. | |
:24:29. | :24:34. | ||
A walk around the grounds gives away the owner of the house I am | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
sleeping in tonight. These spectacular undulating figures | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
could only be the work of Britain's most famous 20th century sculptor, | :24:41. | :24:47. | |
Henry Moore. And over the next 24 hours I am hoping to gain some | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
insight into his family life and its influence on his work, by | :24:51. | :24:57. | |
staying in the home he lived in for over 40 years. Mrs Hoglands, Perry | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
Green, Hertfordshire. -- This is. It will not open to the public | :25:03. | :25:05. | |
until later in the year but the doors have been unlocked especially | :25:06. | :25:13. | |
for me. Henry's wife liked their guests to take off their shoes | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
before entering the house, a tradition, one of many, which holds | :25:17. | :25:26. | |
today. They moved here in the 1940s, when it was two small cottages. The | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
sale of a large figure had secured the hefty �300 deposit, and they | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
stayed at Hoglands for the rest of their lives. Everything in this | :25:36. | :25:41. | |
house is pretty much as it was when you were a child. Yes. My parents | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
loved to have around them things from the natural world, lots of | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
these things are pebbles, stones, fossils, shells. People coming to | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
visit, knowing he loved these things, would bring pebbles and | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
stones, and we would collect them and they would be put out on the | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
table. The days were very structured, with set times for | :26:04. | :26:10. | |
working, eating, working, and more work. I think anybody who is driven, | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
and he really was driven. He was miserable when he went on holiday | :26:14. | :26:19. | |
and he could not work. Anybody who works like that, they have to have | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
a really regular routine and every day they are able to fit an | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
enormous amount in because it is a very regular, organised day. The | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
week also had a routine, and every year, during Wimbledon, a line went | :26:32. | :26:38. | |
through the whole diary and nobody came. If they did come, they had to | :26:38. | :26:45. | |
sit in the dark and watch Wimbledon. Busy days. No time for walking to | :26:45. | :26:50. | |
the studio. As Henry's fame increased, he bought up the land | :26:50. | :26:56. | |
around the cottage to house his many work sheds. This is the BBC | :26:56. | :27:01. | |
Home Service... Here, he crafted the tiny models that would become | :27:01. | :27:07. | |
giants. This is amazing. It is like the inside of someone's mind. All | :27:07. | :27:17. | |

of Henry Moore's work, in miniature. Despite worldwide fame and huge | :27:18. | :27:24. | |
wealth, it seems that Henry and his wife lived very modestly. He was | :27:24. | :27:29. | |
the 7th son of a Yorkshire miner. He had grown up having very little. | :27:29. | :27:34. | |
I remember a letter from my father in which he talks about an aide and | :27:34. | :27:37. | |
a candle, and how precious this single egg and this single candle | :27:37. | :27:45. | |
is. It was not a throwaway society. My mother's sauce pounds ended up | :27:45. | :27:49. | |
in the studio. Nothing was ever wasted. They were very modest in | :27:49. | :27:55. | |
their use. -- her saucepans. After dinner, Henry Moore would continue | :27:55. | :27:58. | |
working into the evening before finally heading home for his gin | :27:58. | :28:04. | |
and tonic nightcap. So, once again, I get to spend the night under the | :28:04. | :28:08. | |
roof of a Great Britain, who created extraordinary undulating | :28:08. | :28:14. | |
forms. But Henry Moore led a very orderly life, and I expect to sleep | :28:14. | :28:24. | |
:28:24. | :28:33. | ||
soundly, one reclining figure among It is very different from Balham | :28:33. | :28:37. | |
High Road. I actually went out in the middle of the night and | :28:38. | :28:41. | |
wandered around among the extraordinary forms, which was a | :28:41. | :28:46. | |
very rich experience. However, following Henry's rigorous regime, | :28:46. | :28:53. | |
time for breakfast. What a splendid idea! | :28:53. | :28:58. |
