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

:00:21.:00:27.

Jones. Tonight we are joined by a Brooklyn

:00:27.:00:31.

sumer star. Fresh from his Royal Variety

:00:31.:00:35.

Performance last night, let's say hello again to Neil Diamond.

:00:35.:00:45.
:00:45.:00:47.

APPLAUSE Welcome back, Neil.

:00:47.:00:48.

APPLAUSE I went downstairs for food and it

:00:48.:00:51.

was rammed with ladies? Well, I'm glad that we were able to take them

:00:51.:00:58.

in from the rain! LAUGHTER

:00:58.:01:01.

It was cold out there so I'm happy to have them in and thank you for

:01:01.:01:03.

taking them in. These lovely ladies were telling

:01:03.:01:06.

Matt that you had a great night last night at the Royal Variety

:01:06.:01:11.

Performance? High the most fun. I got a chance to sing to Her Majesty

:01:11.:01:17.

which was the reason for our trip over here. Halfs that -- what was

:01:17.:01:21.

that like Neil? Well, it was unique and extraordinary. High a chance to

:01:21.:01:29.

-- I had a chance to speak to Her Majesty before I went on and we had

:01:29.:01:34.

a nice chat and she really wanted to talk to my wife about horses and

:01:34.:01:42.

they did talk and had a nice conversation. Was she doing a

:01:42.:01:47.

little, you know? I hope so. The rest of the audience was. We were

:01:47.:01:53.

having a good time during the show. I did chat with Prince Philip for a

:01:53.:01:59.

little bit. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful experience, I don't think

:01:59.:02:02.

I will forget it. We understand that for instance

:02:02.:02:06.

William is a fan. Is it right that you were going to change the words

:02:06.:02:12.

from Sweet Caroline to Sweet Catherine? I hadn't heard that, but

:02:12.:02:18.

I would be happy to! We heard he was a big fan and you were on the

:02:18.:02:21.

list for maybes to sing at the wedding.

:02:21.:02:24.

That's wonderful to hear. We will be talking to you more

:02:24.:02:32.

during the programme. It is the December that's been -- it is the

:02:32.:02:35.

disease that is sweeping through the country.

:02:35.:02:39.

The forests of Britain are facing one threat.

:02:39.:02:44.

So far in 2012, more and new outbreaks of tree diseases have

:02:45.:02:49.

been recorded in the UK than in any previous year. It is fear that had

:02:49.:02:54.

the majority of the UK's 80 million ash trees could die. Even one of

:02:54.:03:00.

our most iconic trees, the Scotch pine is believed to be in danger.

:03:00.:03:10.
:03:10.:03:11.

An increasing number of pests and parasites are nahuing are eating

:03:11.:03:17.

through our forests. If we don't take care in trying to

:03:17.:03:21.

prevent these organisms coming in we could be looking at losing

:03:21.:03:27.

several tree species or severe damage and the landscape effects

:03:27.:03:31.

could be even worse than we have seen already with Dutch elm disease.

:03:31.:03:36.

Tens of thousands of ash trees have been felled to stop the spread of

:03:36.:03:40.

ash dieback since it was first identified in February. But this

:03:40.:03:45.

disease is just the latest to hit our trees in the last few years. In

:03:45.:03:50.

recent weeks, a record number of tree in the west of Scotland have

:03:50.:03:57.

been identified as being infected. This incredible machine can fell

:03:57.:04:02.

several hundred trees a day. The guys have their work cut out out

:04:02.:04:07.

for them because they have thousands left to fell.

:04:07.:04:12.

How much is at risk? At the moment, it is contained in the West Coast.

:04:12.:04:16.

It was originally West Coast of England and it moved up through

:04:16.:04:20.

Wales and into Scotland and there has been a large outbreak in

:04:20.:04:26.

Scotland over the last year. The large trees release spores in the

:04:26.:04:31.

wind and they be blown on to other sites. As soon as a tree is felled,

:04:32.:04:35.

that's the problem contained. We had 10 to 11 trees on this silet

:04:35.:04:41.

that were -- site that were infected, but we needed to fell the

:04:41.:04:43.

3,000 trees on the site to contain the disease.

:04:43.:04:47.

Action has been taken. The Government held emergency meetings

:04:47.:04:51.

and banned imported seeds, plants and tree to say protect our remain

:04:51.:05:00.

ash trees. A key woodland site in Dunbarton

:05:00.:05:07.

reacted to the crisis. We were due to plant over 7,000 ash

:05:07.:05:12.

saplings but we won't plant past 2013 because we don't know they are

:05:13.:05:15.

safe. What other species are under

:05:15.:05:23.

threat? In Scotland, Scotch pine is being affected. There is another

:05:23.:05:29.

one going for juniper. They are iconic trees to Scotland and people

:05:29.:05:34.

will notice if we lose the trees. If you read the headlines, it is

:05:34.:05:40.

doom and gloom, how bad is it? is not good news. We plant esh

:05:40.:05:47.

because everybody because everyone knows it as a native species. In

:05:47.:05:52.

this landscape we have silver birch. You love what you do, that's plain

:05:52.:05:59.

to see. How optimistic are you about the future? I'm optimistic

:05:59.:06:04.

about it. Diseases have existed longer than we have and you know...

:06:04.:06:08.

Tree also survive? Trees will survive and they have to sur vifz

:06:08.:06:14.

and we have -- survive and we have to get more of them in the ground.

:06:14.:06:19.

Which ones aren't dying? Which ones are resistant? Let's plant for

:06:19.:06:24.

trees so we are covered for things like this. There are plenty more

:06:24.:06:28.

tree that is can go in. It is impossible to imagine the

:06:28.:06:32.

British countryside without trees, but it may already be too late for

:06:32.:06:40.

Well, Lucy is here to discuss this further. Lucy, there were a lot of

:06:40.:06:43.

people in high places banging their heads together about this and

:06:43.:06:48.

trying to make sure this isn't the end for our forests? As the

:06:48.:06:53.

Environment Secretary, Owen Paterson said now ash dieback is in

:06:53.:06:58.

mature trees, there is no way it can be eradicated from the UK. It

:06:58.:07:02.

is about managing the impact. A lots of people are doing a lot of

:07:02.:07:06.

work. I think every forestry professional, every forestry

:07:06.:07:09.

forestry scientist is probably out there monitoring the trees at the

:07:09.:07:15.

moment and they are using special portable DNA kits to see where it

:07:15.:07:18.

has spread and really the great hope is in the mature trees because

:07:18.:07:23.

some will hopefully be naturally resistant. That's happened in

:07:23.:07:28.

Denmark where they lost 90% of their ash trees and there was

:07:28.:07:32.

resistance in a mine orlt, but -- minority, but we will have ash

:07:32.:07:37.

trees and it is important to remember that. Replant that strain

:07:37.:07:45.

and go from there. We can't have a sample of the the

:07:45.:07:49.

disease in the studio. There is lesions on the bark and

:07:49.:07:54.

that spreads to the leaves and some of the leaves in dramatic cases,

:07:54.:07:57.

they look like they have been burned and it spreads throughout

:07:57.:08:02.

the crown of the tree. It is really dramatic.. And it is about finding

:08:02.:08:06.

out where it has spread to so people at home can help? If we

:08:06.:08:10.

leave it to the scientist, there is not enough of them to see every ash

:08:10.:08:15.

tree. So there are things like phone apps where you can take a

:08:15.:08:18.

picture of what you think is a diseased tree and send it through

:08:18.:08:23.

to people who are monitoring this. Be vig land and keep an eye on

:08:23.:08:30.

trees in your area. The other thing really to do is to practise what we

:08:30.:08:40.
:08:40.:08:43.

call really good good good etiquette, don't take any twigs

:08:43.:08:45.

with you and you are supposed to change your boots.

:08:45.:08:52.

We were seeing in the film, Neil, how important trees are are for you

:08:52.:08:58.

in Colorado in your ranch? I have got a small ranch and and these

:08:58.:09:04.

diseases go through the pine tree ins Colorado. I know how careful

:09:04.:09:08.

you have to be and how heartbreaking it is to lose trees.

:09:08.:09:14.

So... Yeah, it is heartbreaking. People Feel very, very strongly

:09:14.:09:17.

about it. It is part of our landscape.

:09:17.:09:22.

You are going to start creating a new woodland for us tomorrow?

:09:22.:09:27.

we are going to be up in Wrexham tomorrow. We need to keep planting

:09:27.:09:31.

them so we don't have all our eggs in one basket.

:09:31.:09:35.

Lucy to the rescue! You can You can find details on how

:09:35.:09:42.

to spot and log ash dieback on our our website:

:09:42.:09:47.

Are you ready to be rocked? AUDIENCE: Yes!

:09:47.:09:51.

From living room to say stadiums across the world, the Marshall amp

:09:51.:09:58.

has been the essential kit for any aspiring rock god and Matt

:09:58.:10:04.

Allwright. This is a story about genius, inspiration, great British

:10:04.:10:13.

engineering and a man who made things louder, Jim Marshall.

:10:13.:10:18.

Ah, Jimi Hendrix, it was Jim Marshall's amplifiers that helped

:10:18.:10:23.

make some of the music legends so distinctive, he gave them what they

:10:23.:10:31.

wanted. The biggest sound President Obama.

:10:31.:10:37.

-- --ted biggest sound possible. His amplifyication empire had

:10:37.:10:42.

humble beginnings way back in 1962. The magic all began here in the

:10:42.:10:49.

back room of a tiny shop on the Uxbridge Road in West London.

:10:49.:10:59.

It is now a a barber shop. You have got Eric Clapton, Ronnie

:10:59.:11:08.

Wood, Pete Pete Townsend hanging around the shop talking about music.

:11:08.:11:16.

We were all stumbling on distortion, create ago long sound from the

:11:16.:11:20.

guitar and it happened around that time that Jim Marshall opened a

:11:20.:11:27.

music shop and we decided to make the loudest amplifiers.

:11:27.:11:36.

They started creating a prototype amplifier. They would say, "Don't

:11:36.:11:40.

touch anything. Just plug it in here and tell me what you think.".

:11:40.:11:44.

This meeting of minds resulted in a sound different to that of the

:11:44.:11:49.

clean, polite hi-fi of the 50s and early 60s. There is a particular

:11:49.:11:54.

thing that you are doing in that box to make that sound, what is it?

:11:54.:11:59.

Marshalls are built around valves. There is an electrical signal that

:11:59.:12:04.

comes out of the guitar and valves create harmonics and we get a vocal

:12:04.:12:07.

sound and it is the voice that the guitarist can use to connect with

:12:07.:12:11.

the audience. And big audiences, filling bigger

:12:11.:12:16.

venues, needed bigger sound so Jim hit on the idea of stacking speaker

:12:16.:12:20.

cabinets which meant everyone could hear, even the poor sold people at

:12:20.:12:27.

the back, the Marshall stack was born and became an icon at 70s and

:12:27.:12:32.

80s stadium rock'n'roll putting up with heavy duty handling.

:12:32.:12:37.

It is the greatest amplifyication that has been thought of and built

:12:37.:12:41.

by one man. It is everything in the kitchen

:12:41.:12:48.

sink and that's what keeps going across row 20, row 20,000.

:12:48.:12:53.

The story was you could drop one off the back of a van and it would

:12:53.:12:59.

work. REPORTER: Have you tried that?

:12:59.:13:04.

personally, no. Jim's collaboration with rock

:13:04.:13:09.

legends continued and Marshalls played their part in what has

:13:09.:13:10.

become the ultimate rock band par day.

:13:11.:13:18.

The numbers go to 11. Look, right across-the-board. 11, 11, 11.

:13:18.:13:24.

the amps go up to 10. Does that mean it is louder? Well, it is one

:13:24.:13:27.

louder. And this is Marshall now. The

:13:27.:13:31.

headquarters in Milton Keynes, from here amplifiers are sent over the

:13:31.:13:41.
:13:41.:13:42.

world. One found its way to me! Let's Meet her. Marsha.

:13:42.:13:49.

50 years on and although he has passed away, Jim's craftsmanship

:13:49.:13:51.

and quality lives on. Quality is so important to the

:13:51.:13:57.

company. The wood is all hand sanded and dad used to insist on

:13:57.:14:01.

signing the inside of cabinets by the person who finishes them.

:14:01.:14:07.

Is this the best job in the world? It is not a bad job at all.

:14:07.:14:12.

Anything wrong with this one? Growing up, dad was hard-working.

:14:12.:14:16.

He was passionate about the job, but he was a family man. What dad

:14:16.:14:20.

did, of course, I am proud. He created this Marshall family and

:14:20.:14:30.
:14:30.:14:32.

If there was one word that sums up the genius of Jim Marshall it's

:14:32.:14:38.

feedback. Eknew how to listen to the musicians around him and give

:14:38.:14:47.

them what they wanted - feedback. Neil, what does the sight of a

:14:47.:14:52.

Marshall amp do to you? It puts fear into me, because the volume

:14:52.:14:58.

that you can generate from a Marshall is overwhelming and if

:14:58.:15:03.

you're playing a large venue or arena or a festival, you want that,

:15:03.:15:10.

but you have to be very careful with it. You have been recording

:15:10.:15:18.

for over five decades. How did you decide what songs to put on the

:15:18.:15:23.

Very Best of Neil Diamond? I was lucky enough with this album to

:15:23.:15:28.

convince the four different labels that they were recorded for to put

:15:28.:15:35.

all the original versions - the studio versions - on the album. Up

:15:35.:15:42.

to now they each kept them and put them out, so these are the original

:15:42.:15:49.

studio cuts that go way back. There are 23 songs on it and for me it's

:15:49.:15:54.

a voyage down memory lane. Play the recording and it just takes me

:15:54.:15:58.

right back to the time that I was recording it. It's an amazing

:15:58.:16:03.

experience. Was it quite difficult to know in which order to put the

:16:03.:16:11.

songs? Was that important? Well, it was. I tried to put them in

:16:11.:16:16.

chronological order. In some cases I got it right. In some cases I

:16:16.:16:21.

made some little changes, just so they worked a little better in the

:16:21.:16:26.

sequencing, but sequencing is very important. You are always appealing

:16:26.:16:34.

to new audiences. We have a brill iant moment from glassbury in 2008.

:16:34.:16:42.

What -- gloss onbury in 2008. -- Glastonbury in 2008. What a sight

:16:42.:16:50.

this is. Are you going to help me out with this, or what? Here we go.

:16:50.:17:00.
:17:00.:17:01.

# Sweet Caroline # Good times never seemed so blue

:17:01.:17:11.
:17:11.:17:14.

# I'm feeling fine # To believe it's never true... #

:17:14.:17:19.

That was brilliant. I've never seen that before. You attracted a whole

:17:19.:17:24.

new generation of fans there. well, that too, but just seeing

:17:24.:17:27.

that and singing in front of an audience and having them all having

:17:27.:17:33.

a good time, it's a great feeling. One of the tracks on the album is

:17:33.:17:39.

I'm a Believer, but originally it was a hit for the Monkees when you

:17:39.:17:46.

first wrote it and that had an impact on your career? It did,

:17:46.:17:50.

because - there they are. They sing it well, to be fair. A beautiful

:17:50.:17:57.

version of it. Their record was a hit worldwide and it helped me get

:17:57.:18:06.

my name known worldwide too. I had a song called Cherry Cherry, which

:18:06.:18:10.

was a big hit and following that, they came out with I'm a Believer

:18:10.:18:14.

and that sealed the deal. People knew who I was. It was the

:18:14.:18:19.

beginning of my career. Even before that, you were singing in the high

:18:19.:18:24.

school chorus, with incredibly, Barbara Streisand, so the pair were

:18:24.:18:30.

in the chorus. Who on earth was singing the lead? There were none.

:18:30.:18:35.

I'm sure Barbara would have taken the lead, but those were fun times.

:18:35.:18:41.

I didn't know Barbara. There were 100 voices in the choir. She was 15

:18:41.:18:48.

years old. I was 16. We reminisce about it years later, because the

:18:48.:18:56.

conductor of the chorus was a very posh, Italian man and all the women

:18:56.:19:00.

in the chorus were in love with him and all of the boys were in

:19:01.:19:06.

horrible fear of him, because if you sang a wrong note or you didn't

:19:06.:19:14.

come in beautifully, you would be scalped. We both remember him.

:19:14.:19:24.
:19:24.:19:26.

pair of you are on the album. The album is out on 26th November. It

:19:26.:19:29.

was announced that the Government will force energy companies into

:19:29.:19:34.

offering just four tariffs to customers by 2014, so in the

:19:34.:19:37.

meantime, we sent some families a challenge to cut their energy bills

:19:37.:19:42.

and as we find out, there's more to energy saving than turning off the

:19:42.:19:50.

heating and putting another jumper on. Two families living in the same

:19:50.:19:54.

street in Cardiff in the same type of house, with the same big energy

:19:54.:19:59.

bills. Both families have taken some steps to make their homes more

:19:59.:20:03.

energy efficient, but could they be doing even more to save money?

:20:03.:20:07.

Could a few little lifestyle changes reduce the amount they pay

:20:07.:20:13.

for gas and electricity? Time for a One Show experiment. We have asked

:20:13.:20:17.

experts from the Energy Saving Trust to check that the two homes

:20:17.:20:22.

are equally energy efficient and we have recorded the families'

:20:22.:20:27.

consumption over seven days. Our first family are the Griffiths.

:20:27.:20:32.

They use �38 every week, so what do they spend their money on? A hot

:20:32.:20:37.

shower. I tumble a lot of clothes to cut down on ironing. Are they up

:20:37.:20:43.

for our energy-saving challenge? Yeah. Yes. We are excited. Which

:20:43.:20:47.

will be the hardest bit? Now the weather's colder, it's feeling the

:20:47.:20:52.

cold if we have to turn down the heating. The neighbours, the

:20:52.:20:59.

Rutherfords, use �31 in a normal week. I hate being cold, but it's

:20:59.:21:05.

using the tumble dryer to get rid of the damp clothes and the washing

:21:05.:21:09.

machine. It will be fun trying to make everybody change their

:21:09.:21:14.

behaviour - switching off light, that sort of thing, and switching

:21:14.:21:19.

off CDs and televisions. Can they use less than them lot over the

:21:19.:21:24.

road? We'll put on two extra jumpers. We'll beat them. We like a

:21:24.:21:28.

challenge. The families will compete to see who can save the

:21:28.:21:33.

most energy. The man has a few tips for them. The average house can

:21:33.:21:39.

save �50 to �80 by turning things off stand-by a year. The term

:21:39.:21:44.

statistic, turning it down one degree. You might -- thermostat,

:21:44.:21:51.

turning it down one degree. You might feel a bit chilly. You'll

:21:51.:21:56.

save yourself money with a shower timer. Four minutes is enough to

:21:56.:22:02.

wash anybody, male or female. Family washing machine. You can use

:22:02.:22:07.

30 degrees, so wherever you can 30 degrees and keep the load full.

:22:07.:22:12.

Tumble dryer. You can use it, but when you can, try to avoid it.

:22:12.:22:16.

Kettle, fill it up with water, but don't fill it too full. Just enough

:22:16.:22:23.

for what you need it for. Non- energy efficient lightbulb. Change

:22:23.:22:28.

it. Duncan is impressed that both families have already saved money

:22:28.:22:34.

by saving supplier and home improvements The wall instalation

:22:34.:22:39.

and loft instalation that can save a house like this �416 a year.

:22:39.:22:44.

challenge to make further savings is on. As the families start their

:22:44.:22:48.

low-energy lifestyle week we ask them to keep a video diary. Quick,

:22:48.:22:52.

everybody, jumpers on. We have turned the thermostat down. It's

:22:52.:22:55.

been a little colder. The biggest shock is getting out of bed,

:22:55.:22:59.

because you notice it then. temperature is not getting up high

:22:59.:23:03.

enough to dry the clothes and they've been hanging wet for two,

:23:03.:23:07.

whole days. Over the road, the message is turn it down, switch it

:23:07.:23:11.

off. The hall, landing, maybe the kitchen, livingroom or diningroom,

:23:12.:23:16.

the light is left on accidently and we keep reminding each other to

:23:16.:23:21.

switch them off. I'm really cold. I want a bath, but I have to have a

:23:21.:23:27.

shower. Four-minute shower, yeah! The week is over. Time for me to do

:23:27.:23:31.

a final check on the metres and reveal how much the families have

:23:31.:23:34.

cut off their bills. Remember, before they started this challenge,

:23:34.:23:43.

they were spending between �31 and �38 per week on gas and electricity.

:23:43.:23:53.
:23:53.:23:54.

You've used �12.74 less. Good grief. You've done even better and saved

:23:54.:24:03.

�14.99. I really expected to knock a couple of quid off, but not

:24:03.:24:07.

anything like that. I'll carry on knowing it's costing that amount of

:24:07.:24:12.

money to just have many some light on that you don't need. That's it,

:24:12.:24:17.

we're converted. We have calculated the family would save �500 every

:24:17.:24:21.

year, now, that's definitely worth turning your light off for. And I'm

:24:21.:24:25.

now here in the studio with the families. Both horrified to see

:24:25.:24:30.

their houses on television. But Neil, are you still competing there

:24:30.:24:37.

in the competition? Not now, no. Hopefully we'll keep on saving.

:24:37.:24:42.

What kind of things are you continuing with? Everything we

:24:42.:24:46.

started doing that week. It's just a little less frantic. I don't get

:24:46.:24:52.

quite as stressed if the landing light are still on. Fiona, how

:24:52.:24:56.

about you? Is it hard not to use the dishwasher? It's quite

:24:56.:25:01.

difficult, but I'm doing my best and trying to wash up by hand.

:25:01.:25:04.

Switch off the light whenever possible. What we have done is take

:25:04.:25:09.

out a lot of light bulbs. We have a lot of fittings that have many

:25:09.:25:13.

bulbs, because we moved into a house that needed renovating and

:25:13.:25:17.

that's made a big difference, because we need one bulb to light a

:25:17.:25:22.

room. I bet you notice a big difference on the street? That's

:25:22.:25:26.

right, the two houses are the darkest by far. Everyone else has

:25:26.:25:30.

the light blazing. We look quite dark, but we're using the light in

:25:30.:25:34.

the room we are in. Have you talked about Christmas light? Oh, no,

:25:34.:25:38.

that's a good point. I don't know what we'll do. Every other light.

:25:38.:25:42.

That's a good idea. Are you still having the four-minute showers?

:25:42.:25:47.

Going all right? Yes. Alex was horrified as the thought of that.

:25:47.:25:54.

Neil, how long do you spend in the shower? Hours! I tell you, you

:25:55.:25:59.

don't think you'll be welcome around these houses. Thank you both

:25:59.:26:04.

for coming in. As Neil pointed out, did you, saving energy, but don't

:26:05.:26:10.

turn the show off right now. If the word supersize makes you think of

:26:10.:26:14.

huge burgers, a new BBC series is asking you this think again. Look

:26:14.:26:18.

at this. Today, I'll join the team whose job it is to clean the

:26:18.:26:28.
:26:28.:26:41.

outside of a -- of the world's highest windows. Do you get nervous

:26:41.:26:48.

at all? Yes. I haven't looked down yet. Now, I've looked down. Dallas

:26:48.:26:54.

is with us now. Welcome. Thank you. As well as proving that you've got

:26:54.:26:58.

quite a good head for heights, what else can we learn? Well, not that

:26:58.:27:03.

good a head actually. That was one of the most terrifying things I've

:27:03.:27:10.

ever done. It's kind of a snapshot of the modern world. The way that

:27:10.:27:13.

human beings live on the planet has just changed radically in our

:27:13.:27:19.

lifetime, so the way we now build faster and higher and we have

:27:19.:27:23.

shrunk the world with the way we build transport networks, so we've

:27:23.:27:28.

been around the world looking at the scale and ambition of some of

:27:28.:27:32.

the engineering projects that have facilitated this change. You see

:27:32.:27:37.

from that clip, that in telling the story I've been involved in some

:27:37.:27:40.

pretty hair-raising adventures. Including your search for the

:27:40.:27:45.

tallest building starts at Lincoln Cathedral? Who knew that the

:27:45.:27:53.

tallest building in the world was that for 4,000 years. The great

:27:53.:27:57.

pyramid was the tallest until this came along in the Middle Ages, but

:27:57.:28:02.

I wonder if they ever knew. It used to have a big spire on top, which

:28:02.:28:09.

made it the tallest building, but that's gone. I wonder about the guy

:28:09.:28:14.

who was originally putting the little pit on the top and wondered

:28:14.:28:19.

if this was the tallest building. Techniques have sped up a bit since

:28:19.:28:23.

then. We have a clip of you in China. Here you are. Tell us what

:28:23.:28:28.

is happening here. This is incredible. We hear a lot about

:28:28.:28:34.

China and about the progress that goes on, but these guys can build a

:28:34.:28:39.

fully functioning skyskyscaper, 15 storeys, earthquake-proof in two

:28:39.:28:43.

weeks. They can knock that up in two weeks. If you had the builders

:28:43.:28:48.

in at home, and they're taking too long, look at this. New York as

:28:48.:28:53.

well. Do you have a favourite building? The Empire State Building

:28:53.:28:58.

took eleven months to build and -- but I'm impressed if they can build

:28:58.:29:03.

that in two weeks. It tames more time than that to get Chinese take-

:29:03.:29:09.

out. Much less to put a building up. We filmed a lot in New York. My

:29:10.:29:16.

first experience with big buildings was New York. You would think it

:29:16.:29:20.

was the home of skyscrapers, but we're all looking to the East and

:29:20.:29:26.

China and the Middle East. Yes. Thank you very much. The programme

:29:26.:29:32.

starts tomorrow night on BBC One at 8pm. Thank you to Neil and his at

:29:32.:29:38.

bum is out on 26th November. Thank you -- album is out on 26th

:29:38.:29:40.

November. Thank you. We'll be talking to the Rolling Stones on

:29:41.:29:43.

Friday. We want to hear your stories about them. Do you have a

:29:43.:29:47.

link with the band? Does their music mean something to you or do

:29:47.:29:52.
