Hello and welcome to The One Show with Matt Baker. And Alex Jones.

:00:19.:00:28.

Tonight, the emergency services and Armed Forces saved the historic city

:00:29.:00:31.

of Winchester over the weekend. And the vicar determined to tend to his

:00:32.:00:38.

flock undefeated by the flooded Thames. We have a couple of firsts.

:00:39.:00:45.

We have the first-ever Reduced Height Theatre Company. And the

:00:46.:00:49.

first ever Briton to win an Olympic medal on snow. It is Warwick Davis.

:00:50.:00:57.

And Jenny Jones! Warwick is getting all the Olympic applause!

:00:58.:01:02.

Congratulations, Jenny. It is lovely you have coming to see us. How long

:01:03.:01:09.

have you been back? I got back at the weekend from Sochi. You have

:01:10.:01:17.

still got a cold head! I am just used to wearing it. And you have

:01:18.:01:24.

brought some friends and, Warwick? They are members of the Reduced

:01:25.:01:27.

Height Theatre Company. We will be touring with See How They Run which

:01:28.:01:31.

is a brilliant farce. I have very excited because they are very

:01:32.:01:36.

talented group of individuals. We will find out more later and you

:01:37.:01:41.

have a challenge on your hands to reduce the play into 60 seconds. The

:01:42.:01:47.

Defence Secretary Philip Hammond has given the Royal Engineers the task

:01:48.:01:50.

of helping with the country's flood defences.

:01:51.:01:53.

It is a job which would take two years to complete but they have got

:01:54.:01:58.

only five weeks. At the weekend there was a more urgent task

:01:59.:02:02.

requiring the Army's help as Simon Boazman found out.

:02:03.:02:08.

It is Saturday morning. The clock is ticking. 30 Army personnel have been

:02:09.:02:13.

drafted in to help the fire brigade build barriers to protect the

:02:14.:02:17.

historic city of Winchester. It is under threat from being flooded and

:02:18.:02:21.

the local authorities are desperately trying to find a way of

:02:22.:02:29.

protecting its 41,000 residents. And this is where the decisions are

:02:30.:02:35.

made. The emergency coordination hub where the Environment Agency, the

:02:36.:02:38.

fire service, military and council officials have all come together to

:02:39.:02:45.

come up with a plan. Andrew Gill is the flood risk manager for the

:02:46.:02:48.

Environment Agency. What we are doing today is coming up with

:02:49.:02:52.

detailed tactical plans that we can implement on the ground, whether

:02:53.:02:58.

that is building flood defences or sandbags. One of the problems is

:02:59.:03:03.

because the rivers are so high the drains cannot drain water away so

:03:04.:03:08.

some temporary barriers have been erected and sandbag walls have been

:03:09.:03:14.

built. I head down to where it is all happening and join up with the

:03:15.:03:21.

Army and Fire Brigade. The idea of putting all this stuff on is the

:03:22.:03:24.

river is breaking its banks so we have to build up the flood defences.

:03:25.:03:28.

It is cold and wet so this is the only way to get in there and work

:03:29.:03:32.

for any period of time. In the centre of Winchester is the River

:03:33.:03:38.

Itchen. Park Avenue is where the barriers need to be erected if they

:03:39.:03:42.

are going to stop the flow of water reaching hundreds of homes in the

:03:43.:03:47.

city centre. Once we have got these filled up, the Army boys will take

:03:48.:03:52.

them around to reinforce the bank to stop it coming any further into the

:03:53.:03:58.

town. Alex Rhodes is the fire station commander here in

:03:59.:04:02.

Winchester. Talk us through the geography of where we are. This is a

:04:03.:04:07.

kids' playground. The problem we have got is the flow is so great.

:04:08.:04:12.

That pinch point is making the water stack up further upstream. If we can

:04:13.:04:16.

get that back into the main river path we will alleviate the problem

:04:17.:04:22.

here. An extra 2000 sandbags are needed to secure the barrier and

:04:23.:04:26.

control the water. What they are trying to do is force the barrier

:04:27.:04:30.

down into the ground by putting the sandbags on top of it. The water is

:04:31.:04:35.

rising at such a rate that the authorities have built two of these

:04:36.:04:39.

barriers, won by the base of the river and the other at the other end

:04:40.:04:43.

of the street. Those things are really heavy under the water.

:04:44.:04:46.

Because you cannot see what you are doing, you have to feel your way in.

:04:47.:04:52.

It is cold. One barrier is outside Jackie and Andy's home. What is it

:04:53.:04:57.

like to have this on your doorstep? If it was not there our house would

:04:58.:05:02.

be at risk of flooding, as well as all the properties going towards the

:05:03.:05:07.

city centre. You have got to be happy? Very happy. Especially when

:05:08.:05:11.

you see what is happening around the rest of the country, all that pain

:05:12.:05:16.

people are going through. We have been very lucky. The Army have

:05:17.:05:22.

arrived with more sandbags and this lot are being used to help a local

:05:23.:05:28.

primary school. We have the school behind us. We are building a defence

:05:29.:05:33.

so once the water has seeped out, no more water will get inside the

:05:34.:05:37.

school. The playground was flooded a week ago. Ever since, the

:05:38.:05:41.

authorities have been battling to save inside the school itself. The

:05:42.:05:47.

level of the water is very high. It has not been far of coming into the

:05:48.:05:51.

school. As long as the school does not flood, we can keep our year five

:05:52.:06:06.

and year six children here. That is 120 children. But the rest of the

:06:07.:06:09.

school, 330 children, we have had to shift out. The authorities hope what

:06:10.:06:11.

they are doing here today will be enough. For now, it looks like they

:06:12.:06:15.

are winning. The city of Winchester is still safe. They are doing such a

:06:16.:06:23.

good job. Even the princes at the weekend helped. Jenny, you have had

:06:24.:06:27.

your mind on other things but were you aware of the situation when you

:06:28.:06:32.

were in Sochi? We were aware that I did not realise how bad things had

:06:33.:06:37.

got until I came back. When I arrived back, everyone was showing

:06:38.:06:41.

me photographs. I saw the waves crashing over in Cornwall. You are

:06:42.:06:48.

originally from Bristol. Seeing the guy's house over the moat.

:06:49.:06:54.

Motorman! Fairplay for trying to save that. We featured him last

:06:55.:07:02.

Thursday. We have not heard since. Now then, Warwick, the Reduced

:07:03.:07:07.

Height Theatre Company, the first of its kind ever. What were your main

:07:08.:07:11.

reasons and objectives for forming this type of company in particular?

:07:12.:07:17.

I have been very lucky as an actor and been offered a diverse range of

:07:18.:07:20.

projects but the one thing I have never been offered is a play. I love

:07:21.:07:24.

going to the theatre and seeing players. I thought the only way I

:07:25.:07:29.

would be able to do a play is by producing it and casting myself in

:07:30.:07:32.

it. I was also thinking about another family I had been doing a

:07:33.:07:39.

documentary about. They used to entertain in Europe in the 1930s and

:07:40.:07:42.

40s. They had never relied on the fact that they were short, it was

:07:43.:07:46.

about their performance abilities. They were singers, musicians, wrote

:07:47.:07:50.

their own scripts and built their own sets. That struck a chord with

:07:51.:07:57.

me. I thought, why don't I form the Reduced Height Theatre Company and

:07:58.:07:59.

celebrate the talent of short actors and give them a chance to challenge

:08:00.:08:06.

themselves instead of the usual typecast roles. It is not just from

:08:07.:08:10.

ease of use that you have made everything in proportion. I have

:08:11.:08:16.

reduced everything down. It is See How They Run which is a classic

:08:17.:08:21.

farce. None of the jokes revolve around us being short. The idea of

:08:22.:08:25.

reducing the set was to level the playing field. You come in and watch

:08:26.:08:30.

nine actors giving brilliant performances and enjoyed a very

:08:31.:08:34.

funny play. You will hopefully very quickly forget that we are short.

:08:35.:08:40.

And the agency you run, it is against short actors being typecast.

:08:41.:08:45.

I am not holding up a banner but it is a chance to give people

:08:46.:08:50.

opportunities that I have had in the past to stretch myself and become a

:08:51.:08:53.

better performer. That is what it does. When you get a challenge you

:08:54.:08:59.

have to learn the craft and improve to take you on to the next thing.

:09:00.:09:05.

They are good, I know you are up -- I know you are biased. They have

:09:06.:09:11.

given it 110%. The show is an absolute treat, it really is. It is

:09:12.:09:17.

a very funny show, suitable for all the family. It just celebrate some

:09:18.:09:24.

brilliant actors. Give us a wave! There they are. We have set you a

:09:25.:09:29.

challenge to condense See How They Run into 60 seconds to give the

:09:30.:09:33.

viewers at home a taste of what the play is about. Do you reckon you can

:09:34.:09:38.

do it? We will give it a go. We will try to give you a flavour of the

:09:39.:09:43.

story as well. Are you a big fan of the theatre, Jenny? I am excited to

:09:44.:09:50.

see this. Aren't we all! Glen Campbell has been to visit people

:09:51.:09:54.

who have fallen for a well-known scam. Well-known in Norway but it is

:09:55.:10:00.

now spreading throughout the UK. One minute it is online, advertised

:10:01.:10:06.

at an attractive price, the car robbed your dreams. The next, it

:10:07.:10:13.

vanishes. A phantom car, which along with your hard earned cash goes up

:10:14.:10:19.

in smoke. And if you are unlucky enough to fall victim to this

:10:20.:10:23.

Internet cask down, as we have discovered, you cannot rely on

:10:24.:10:29.

justice from the police. Katie and Neil are schoolteachers from Dover.

:10:30.:10:34.

They are expecting their third child and went online looking for a bigger

:10:35.:10:40.

car. Neil found it to begin with and sent me a link saying he had found a

:10:41.:10:46.

car. Here is that car, a Honda, being sold by a man calling himself

:10:47.:10:55.

Charlie Olivers based in Oslo in Norway. We checked everything online

:10:56.:11:00.

and all the details were coming back as accurate so we felt confident in

:11:01.:11:07.

moving forward. Mr Olivers was only too keen to help. He e-mails Katie

:11:08.:11:17.

telling -- saying if she paid money into his account he would ship the

:11:18.:11:22.

Honda over and they could release the money to him. The plan was the

:11:23.:11:28.

car would be shipped on a particular date. Just as a precaution, Katie

:11:29.:11:33.

checked out the secure account to see if it existed. It did. So she

:11:34.:11:41.

wired ?4700 to the account specified by Mr Olivers. The next day he

:11:42.:11:44.

e-mailed back to say the car was being shipped to Dover. But then

:11:45.:11:50.

Katie began to worry. Whenever she tried calling Mr Olivers she would

:11:51.:11:56.

not get a reply. He would only correspond on e-mail. Something

:11:57.:12:01.

started to niggle and we delved into it further. One quick call confirmed

:12:02.:12:07.

Katie's worst fears. The secure account operated did exist but the

:12:08.:12:12.

website had been hijacked by the fraudster. When it came to the day

:12:13.:12:17.

the car was due to be delivered we realised it had been a scam.

:12:18.:12:25.

Katie's ?4700 had gone straight into the mysterious Charlie Olivers'

:12:26.:12:29.

account. The Honda was genuine but it was registered to an innocent

:12:30.:12:33.

person. The photo had been ripped off the web. Katie and Neil were not

:12:34.:12:38.

the only ones stung by the phantom fraudster. We found three other

:12:39.:12:44.

victims with the same sorry story. You feel devastated. It sounds silly

:12:45.:12:50.

but you feel stupid, used, like someone has robbed your house. When

:12:51.:12:55.

the penny dropped, each of our three victims immediately rang their local

:12:56.:13:00.

police but they were told, sorry, nothing we can do, contact the

:13:01.:13:04.

government's online fraud centre. Feeling helpless and with her

:13:05.:13:08.

sister's help, Katie decided to do some of her own detective work.

:13:09.:13:16.

Katie noticed the same car was being advertised back online. We selected

:13:17.:13:22.

one to reply to. They took the bait and within hours, Yvonne had tracked

:13:23.:13:27.

down Charlie Olivers in Norway. Here we are in downtown Oslo, Norway. We

:13:28.:13:33.

have checked and double checked this address. There are no flats around

:13:34.:13:38.

the back, no houses, this address is a hotel. I think it is time to have

:13:39.:13:44.

a word with the police. Can you tell us what is going on? This is a

:13:45.:13:50.

well-known scam in Norway, also the UK I believe. Who is behind it?

:13:51.:13:57.

Where are they? We think they are mostly based in Nigeria but in the

:13:58.:14:02.

last few years we have seen competition from Eastern European

:14:03.:14:08.

's. Katie, Colin and Tracy were all told by the police to report their

:14:09.:14:13.

crimes to the government's online fraud centre but nothing came of it

:14:14.:14:18.

for any of them. The scammers had vanished with the cash. Are you

:14:19.:14:25.

happy that your organisation has got its act together? Clearly, it is

:14:26.:14:31.

difficult. You are dealing with multi jurisdictional issues,

:14:32.:14:34.

different policing. The suspect is abroad in a lot of these instances

:14:35.:14:39.

so there are challenges. What I would say is what we absolutely must

:14:40.:14:44.

do, if you have become a victim of this type of fraud, or any fraud for

:14:45.:14:50.

that matter, please report it to us. The general public are completely

:14:51.:14:54.

exposed on this type of scam. I just want justice. Good name for the head

:14:55.:15:05.

of fraud, Stephen Prophet. -- Steve Proffitt. They do say the advice

:15:06.:15:09.

is, touch the metal. And then you know.

:15:10.:15:12.

We mentioned at the start of the show, Jenny Jones, Britain's first

:15:13.:15:22.

ever Olympic medal winner. She is here now. Brilliant, congratulations

:15:23.:15:26.

once again. I have to say, my favourite Jenny Jones story is about

:15:27.:15:30.

your lucky charm. Tell us what it is, where you keep it and why it is

:15:31.:15:35.

lucky. This is going to sound ridiculous. Years ago, when I first

:15:36.:15:41.

started snowboarding, I was a chalet maid. It was very difficult to get

:15:42.:15:46.

hold of tea bags. Now it is easy, but it was really hard to get

:15:47.:15:50.

British tea bags. One of my guests brought them out. They were in her

:15:51.:15:57.

room, so I took one and I had nowhere to store it, so I just put

:15:58.:16:02.

it in my bra. I went snowboarding and I learned a backlit, tricks, I

:16:03.:16:08.

thought, this is bullying. I got home, I had forgotten all about

:16:09.:16:12.

that. And I thought, it's the tea leaves! I brushed them up and

:16:13.:16:15.

gathered them into a ten and kept them for years. You didn't even have

:16:16.:16:21.

a cup of tea? I thought she was going to say she always competes

:16:22.:16:29.

with the tea bag. Let's just remind ourselves, this is the second of the

:16:30.:16:34.

two runs that you did in the final. The incredible thing is with this

:16:35.:16:38.

board, what you did with the first run was you laid down in this

:16:39.:16:41.

benchmark that was as good as you could do it, perfection. Are we

:16:42.:16:46.

going to see the pictures? Let's put them up. Is she going for the front

:16:47.:16:54.

nine? She went for the seven! She has been doing this sport for such a

:16:55.:16:59.

long time, and this is the biggest recognition, the biggest reward. It

:17:00.:17:09.

is Britain's first on snow. So, this second run, because you had laid

:17:10.:17:13.

down this perfect run, as far as you are concerned, and then people had

:17:14.:17:15.

to do bigger tricks to try and improve? Kind of, it was trying to

:17:16.:17:22.

work out what the judges wanted. I got a sense it was about clean

:17:23.:17:28.

landings. I had bigger tricks, but I wasn't sure I could land clean. I

:17:29.:17:33.

had to make a decision, it was quite nerve wracking. Do I play it safe

:17:34.:17:37.

and clean, or harder and maybe drag my hand? What is it like to be back?

:17:38.:17:45.

Seeing how proud everybody is? I was so shocked, it was so nice.

:17:46.:17:48.

Everybody has been so supportive, people clapping. And you are still a

:17:49.:17:55.

bit tearful, seeing that? I have only seen it once, and I've not seen

:17:56.:17:59.

the podium bit. That made me remember. What a Winter Olympics it

:18:00.:18:06.

has been so far, and you've made history. Huge congratulations and

:18:07.:18:10.

thanks for coming in. Here is Ruth Goodman, with the story

:18:11.:18:14.

of a Victorian doctor who was a pioneer in more ways than one.

:18:15.:18:19.

In 1865, after an eventful 40-year career, the celebrated British Army

:18:20.:18:26.

Surgeon Dr James Barry died. He had a reputation as a top-class medic

:18:27.:18:34.

and a man who did not suffer fools. In the Crimea, he worked as a

:18:35.:18:37.

surgeon in the same field hospital as Florence Nightingale, where he

:18:38.:18:40.

questioned some of her techniques, leading her to describe him as the

:18:41.:18:46.

most hardened man I've ever met. But a month after his death, in peaceful

:18:47.:18:51.

retirement, the Manchester Guardian reported the most extraordinary

:18:52.:18:55.

aspect of his life. Upon his death was discovered to be a woman. In

:18:56.:19:00.

Georgian society, it was simply unheard of for a woman to become a

:19:01.:19:05.

doctor. Rachel Holmes has written a biography of the secret life of

:19:06.:19:09.

James Barry. James Barry started out as a young Irish girl called

:19:10.:19:15.

Margaret Arkley. Her parents were broke, so she had to take her

:19:16.:19:18.

daughter, Margaret, leave her home and her family and throw herself on

:19:19.:19:25.

the mercy of her brother, James Barry, the painter in London. As

:19:26.:19:29.

well as giving the young girl money, her uncle opened doors with

:19:30.:19:35.

influential society figures. These men would conspire in a plot to

:19:36.:19:38.

parts of this young woman as a man to help her achieve her ambitions.

:19:39.:19:44.

These included exiled revolutionary is, a keen believer in the education

:19:45.:19:52.

of women. It was his connections in Edinburgh that secured a place at

:19:53.:19:54.

medical school for the young girl. In order to take up the place, young

:19:55.:19:58.

Margaret would have to present herself as a man. 1809, she set out

:19:59.:20:06.

from Edinburgh to Wapping by sea. On the way, she patted her shoulders,

:20:07.:20:11.

strapped down her bust, but rises in her shoes and covered her feminine

:20:12.:20:16.

neck. Arriving as a young man, James Barry, ready to embark on his

:20:17.:20:23.

medical journey. The student population were significantly

:20:24.:20:26.

younger than they were now. His feminine appearance would not maybe

:20:27.:20:30.

be quite as obvious. You can see how in number two on the list, the Latin

:20:31.:20:36.

version of his name, signifying that the degree was awarded. He could

:20:37.:20:43.

only do that as a man? Yes. In 1812, the newly qualified Dr Barry return

:20:44.:20:47.

to London before embarking on a military career. He was stationed on

:20:48.:20:51.

his first appointment to Cape Town, on a kitchen table, in the Cape, he

:20:52.:20:58.

performs the first known successful Caesarean section in Western

:20:59.:21:03.

medicine. But this was not his only achievement. He advanced the medical

:21:04.:21:06.

treatment of slaves and other leprosy, and his work on battlefield

:21:07.:21:11.

medicine induced to this day. Despite these successes, Barry was

:21:12.:21:13.

not above suspicion. In one instance, a poster campaign was

:21:14.:21:18.

launched in Cape Town, making lewd suggestions about his personal

:21:19.:21:23.

relationships. There must have been people who knew the truth about

:21:24.:21:27.

Barry? I think that their word. The people that really knew the truth

:21:28.:21:31.

had Barry's interests at heart, because there were his most intimate

:21:32.:21:37.

friends and companions. By the time of his death, he had obtained the

:21:38.:21:41.

lofty postal inspector general hospitals. This ranks spared him the

:21:42.:21:45.

indignity of a medical examination in death. In fact it was a maid,

:21:46.:21:51.

laying out his body, who revealed the ambiguous nature of his gender.

:21:52.:21:54.

But it may not have been as simple as a woman disguised as a man.

:21:55.:21:58.

Rachel Holmes believes that Barry had a much rarer gender identity to

:21:59.:22:04.

conceal. So, was James Barry a man or a woman? James Barry was

:22:05.:22:09.

intersexual. In Barry's day, he would have been called a

:22:10.:22:12.

hermaphrodite. A child might be born as a girl, and at puberty, the time

:22:13.:22:16.

when the sexual characteristics developed, in fact the

characteristics which are clearly male. Dr James Barry rests in a

simple grave in north London. But his life was anything but. He

overcame prejudice, rumour and a hostile establishment and, in so

doing, made an outstanding contribution to medicine, saving

thousands of lives. Didn't you all take an intake of

breath when they said, he was a woman! Anyway... That is exactly

:22:45.:22:52.

what happened. For it, you have been a busy boy. You've not just darted

:22:53.:22:57.

this Reduced Height Theatre Company, you have been filming a brand-new

:22:58.:22:59.

television show. We would like to know what you're doing to your poor

:23:00.:23:07.

family in this clip. We are looking for a dangerous criminal who's

:23:08.:23:10.

escaped. Has anybody seen this man? That's the man! Arrest him!

:23:11.:23:20.

You won't get him back! Do something!

:23:21.:23:26.

Traumatised! Alison did get a bit stressed out. My kids love Pirates

of the Caribbean, will I thought it would be wonderful if I went to a

:23:36.:23:40.

beach and thought it would be wonderful to get them to take me

:23:41.:23:44.

hostage. He got stressed out about it. He's fine now. But he can't go

:23:45.:23:50.

to the beach any more. What was that about? It is a new show called

:23:51.:23:56.

Weekend Escapes, were I championed the great British holiday and the

:23:57.:24:00.

great British eccentric. Me and my family travel the length and breadth

:24:01.:24:03.

of the UK finding interesting people and interesting things to do. There

:24:04.:24:07.

are so much to do here. I travel the world with my job, and the last

:24:08.:24:10.

thing I want to do is go on holiday abroad. I thought, let's find what

:24:11.:24:17.

we can do here. Now, while you go and prepare for your cut down

:24:18.:24:21.

version of your play, See How They Run, just 60 seconds, here is Alex

:24:22.:24:25.

Riley with a vicar on a mission to help his flooded flock. The sun has

:24:26.:24:30.

been out and we may be forgiven for thinking the worst of the flooding

:24:31.:24:32.

is over. But, in many areas, people are

:24:33.:24:37.

trapped in their homes, marooned by stagnant water. This is Egham,

:24:38.:24:42.

Surrey, which has been flooded for a week since the Thames burst its

:24:43.:24:46.

banks. In this parish, vicar Jeff Whatley has a new way of checking on

:24:47.:24:59.

his flock. He dug out his dinghy. Volunteers have gathered round and

:25:00.:25:04.

unaided food supplies. Many, many streets are under water. Around

:25:05.:25:07.

here, it's been a case of, if you haven't got a boat, you can't get

:25:08.:25:11.

through. Also, it's a wonderful larder, a storehouse. It can carry a

:25:12.:25:16.

lot of provisions without having to go back to base. It's not just a

:25:17.:25:21.

Jeff helping people, neighbours are looking out for each other as well.

:25:22.:25:26.

You are walking in the streets carrying sandwiches, what for? There

:25:27.:25:31.

is a road, and there are old people behind, and they can't get out

:25:32.:25:36.

unless you have a boat. We went to Tesco's, went to get some ham,

:25:37.:25:41.

cheese, had a production line in the kitchen. What sort of response have

:25:42.:25:48.

you had? Really grateful. I had an old man crying. How do you deal with

:25:49.:25:53.

that? When you stand in this area, it doesn't look that bad, but you

:25:54.:25:57.

turn around and it's almost up to your waist. You can totally

:25:58.:26:00.

understand how people cannot get out of their houses, can't get to the

:26:01.:26:03.

shops, and they are desperate for any help they can get. Emergency

:26:04.:26:07.

services are not going to bring a sandwich to your door. People like

:26:08.:26:10.

Jeff and local residents donating food, taking it to people's houses,

:26:11.:26:17.

is a life-saver. It came up to the second step, we have been stuck

:26:18.:26:22.

indoors since Monday. We are really privileged to finally come out of

:26:23.:26:26.

our many island and walk. The elderly people lived in a house

:26:27.:26:33.

here, they were really stranded. The neighbours got together. We used

:26:34.:26:38.

Jeff's boat to evacuate our neighbours and belongings. Everybody

:26:39.:26:43.

has been amazing. Another part of the community response that Jeff is

:26:44.:26:46.

co-coordinating is a respite cafe, run by local churches. Why do you

:26:47.:26:51.

think people appreciate this sort of thing? You are not pumping peoples

:26:52.:26:56.

houses out, here is a piece of cake, a toasty and a cup of tea. Why do

:26:57.:27:01.

you think is important? One or two people said, we felt abandoned, like

:27:02.:27:08.

nobody care. Is addressing a basic need to know that you're not alone

:27:09.:27:12.

and people really do care. Is there a job I can do to help out while I

:27:13.:27:18.

am here? I am an able-bodied man. The thing about any crisis is that

:27:19.:27:21.

it does tend to bring out the best in people. What we have seen today

:27:22.:27:26.

has been living proof of that. Look at me! I'm doing some washing up.

:27:27.:27:28.

And I hate washing up. A lot of this is news to Jenny, you

:27:29.:27:40.

are watching this gobsmacked. I think the thing is it is the length

:27:41.:27:43.

of time it is going on for, as well. You think it is going to stop and it

:27:44.:27:48.

is on and on. Demoralise it on so many levels. Here we go, the Reduced

:27:49.:27:52.

Height Theatre Company with their 62nd version of See How They Run.

:27:53.:27:54.

Stop the clock! Good evening. I am the reverend

:27:55.:28:00.

Lionel Toop. Mr Toop! Miss Skillon, one of my oldest parishioners. Ah,

:28:01.:28:03.

Miss Skillon. My wife, Penelope, a former actress. Mrs Toop. How lovely

:28:04.:28:07.

to see you. They don't get on! To the church, vicar! Certainly, Miss

:28:08.:28:11.

Skillon. Penelope! Clive! Flight Sergeant Clive Winton. A former

:28:12.:28:16.

actor. I toured with him years ago. My leading lady - a vicar's wife!

:28:17.:28:19.

Let's go to the theatre, for old times sake. Sorry darling, theatre's

:28:20.:28:23.

out of bounds whilst I'm in uniform. Hang on! Ida! That's the maid. Did

:28:24.:28:26.

you call? Hello. Oh, hello! Bring down one of Mr Toop's other suits,

:28:27.:28:30.

will you? You can't disguise me as a vicar! If anyone asks, say your name

:28:31.:28:34.

is Humphrey. At your service. The reverend Arthur Humphrey. He's come

:28:35.:28:36.

to take the service tomorrow. Nervous? I'll be fine, as long as

:28:37.:28:40.

the Bishop doesn't turn up! Good evening. Uncle Dudley. The Bishop.

:28:41.:28:44.

Take care everyone. A German POW has escaped from the internment camp. He

:28:45.:28:48.

may be in disguise. Escaped? But how? Shut up! I'm in charge here!

:28:49.:28:52.

Sergeant Towers! Military police. Have you seen anyone suspicious? No.

:28:53.:28:54.

No. No. No. Nein. Oh, dear! You could do so much more than 60

:28:55.:29:13.

seconds. Thanks ever so much for joining us, we will see you tomorrow

:29:14.:29:16.

with David Attenborough. See you then, goodbye.
