The One Show with Alex Jones and Matt Baker. With us tonight, an | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
actress who has described the most memorable character she has played | :00:35. | :00:41. | |
as in chanting but very strange. And she can still make men go weak at | :00:41. | :00:46. | |
the knees with the very mention of compost! We can only be talking | :00:46. | :00:56. | |
:00:56. | :00:56. | ||
about Felicity Kendal. Welcome back, Felicity. You are starring in an | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
Alan ACPO and play at the moment called Relatively Speaking. In 1967, | :00:58. | :01:06. | |
that very same play helped launch the career of a certain young actor | :01:06. | :01:13. | |
that you know very well. Richard Briers. He played the young man. He | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
played the very young, awkward, brilliant part of the young man. | :01:16. | :01:22. | |
It's sort of launched both of them. I think Richard was already a big | :01:22. | :01:29. | |
star, but it was the beginning. It is full circle. I am playing the | :01:29. | :01:35. | |
mother now, but it is still the same play. It is a lovely link with him. | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
When did you find out you were going to be playing the part. We toured a | :01:40. | :01:47. | |
little bit, but we couldn't find the theatre we wanted. We had a bit of a | :01:47. | :01:53. | |
break, went to Bath last week, and we are coming very soon. Also | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
tonight, you have heard of the Military Wives. Now meet the | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
Fishwives. We were there for their first ever rehearsal this weekend to | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
find out what brought them all together. If you are in a choir that | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
needs something singers, send us a photo of you all in action and send | :02:14. | :02:23. | |
us which voices you need to make your sound complete. I got a bit | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
nervous at the last minute! Northamptonshire police force has | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
become the first to appoint its own Victims Commissioner to look at how | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
people at the receiving end of the crime are treated. We went to see a | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
family who have been through more than most but still haven't given up | :02:39. | :02:47. | |
hope. This is Leon Adams at his sister's | :02:47. | :02:53. | |
wedding. Young, carefree, happy. Just seven months after this footage | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
was taken, he was brutally attacked as he walked home from his job in a | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
Cardiff pub. Leon was left in a coma. His family told he would | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
probably be paralysed and severely rain damaged for the rest of his | :03:06. | :03:13. | |
life. We weren't sure he was going to survive initially. It was very | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
difficult to have hope when you are told that there is no hope. Leon did | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
wake up from that coma two years after the attack. 11 years on, he | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
has been left with severe disabilities, but he has also made | :03:29. | :03:35. | |
some remarkable progress. This is Leon now, at home with his mum. Take | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
us back to what it was like when you heard the news that Leon had been | :03:39. | :03:49. | |
:03:49. | :03:53. | ||
hurt. That is just too hard. That is really just too hard. Leon's | :03:53. | :04:02. | |
recovery has been hard, even more so because no one has ever been charged | :04:02. | :04:09. | |
in the case remains unsolved. really miss him. It's very hard. | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
Around five years ago, Leon started communicating by typing on an | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
adapted computer. Five months ago, he revealed what has been on his | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
mind all this time. He asked his mum if his attackers had been caught. | :04:25. | :04:34. | |
is very hard to answer him. I feel I have failed because they haven't | :04:34. | :04:44. | |
:04:44. | :05:06. | ||
caught them. Is there anything you up court because I can't remember | :05:06. | :05:13. | |
anything. It must be very, very difficult. Yes, it is.Have you | :05:13. | :05:19. | |
noticed a change in him lately, that there is more focus on desperately | :05:19. | :05:25. | |
trying to find who did it? Yes, definitely. Until we find out who | :05:25. | :05:32. | |
did it, there's never going to be an end. What do we know about what | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
happened to Leon that night? On the 13th of February 2002, these streets | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
were full of football fans who had been watching a match between Wales | :05:41. | :05:49. | |
and Argentina. Leon had been working here at the Cottage pub in the | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
centre of Cardiff. This is the Crimewatch reconstruction of the | :05:54. | :06:02. | |
night. Leon was spotted on CCTV on -- at 2am, after he had finished his | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
shift. He wasn't seen again until two hours later. He was found beaten | :06:07. | :06:14. | |
and unconscious at a train station both to the town centre. His wages | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
were missing. As Leon's condition continues to improve, his family | :06:18. | :06:24. | |
believe he will remember more, maybe even who carried out the attack. | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
sent me a message on Facebook recently. It was just amazing to | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
have that normality. To have that for him after 11 years. It was | :06:35. | :06:41. | |
absolutely incredible. We couldn't be prouder of him. I cannot | :06:41. | :06:49. | |
understand how people can do what they do. It is horrific. We are live | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
in the Crimewatch studio now. This is such a terribly tragic case. 11 | :06:54. | :07:00. | |
years have passed now. Is it realistic to think that the police | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
can solve this crime so far down the line? | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
Leon has made incredible progress, but the family are desperate to find | :07:08. | :07:15. | |
out who did this to him. Sadly, there are no leads and no new | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
information, but the police stressed that no case is ever closed. The | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
reality is, they want a breakthrough for themselves and for the family. | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
If you think you know anything that could help solve this case, please | :07:30. | :07:39. | |
get in touch. Leon was attacked in 2002, and incorrigibly, in the last | :07:39. | :07:45. | |
decade, violent crime has fallen in the UK. According to the Home Office | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
and the office of National statistics, violent crime in England | :07:48. | :07:54. | |
and Wales has dropped, and homicide rates by nearly 50%. Tonight, | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
Crimewatch is on at 9pm on BBC One. What other cases you are looking at | :07:58. | :08:04. | |
night? On the 20th anniversary of Stephen | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
Lawrence's murder, we are looking for new witnesses. We will also have | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
an exclusive on the French Alps murders that made headlines | :08:12. | :08:19. | |
throughout the world. It can get very depressing, that is the only | :08:19. | :08:26. | |
thing. Absolutely, but we need everybody out there with eyes on the | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
ground, and if they know anything. Every generation gets told that life | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
was tough in the old days, but Dan Snow has a story that might just | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
prove it. From the mid-18 hundredths to the | :08:42. | :08:48. | |
1920s, boys as young as 13 worked deep underground in the coalfields | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
of South Wales. Even as the school leaving age increased and child | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
labour declined, the sons of mine is still fared poorly above ground. In | :08:58. | :09:05. | |
1925, in this Vale of Glamorgan, two men set up a ten acre subsidised | :09:05. | :09:11. | |
holiday camp, a site of fun, learning and play for impoverished | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
children. The boys were offered that most simple of delights, a proper | :09:15. | :09:22. | |
holiday. Built within reach of the sea, the complex included a | :09:23. | :09:29. | |
gymnasium, swimming pool, workshops and a church. Add in a full-sized | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
cricket pitch, tennis courts, football and rugby grounds, and you | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
have a blueprint for a boy's own adventure. Today, deserted and | :09:39. | :09:45. | |
unloved, it is a long way from the idyllic holiday camp it once was. By | :09:45. | :09:55. | |
:09:55. | :09:56. | ||
the late 1980s, the decline of the coal industry and the increase in | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
cheap foreign travel, meant that this place had ceased to have a | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
purpose. In the early 90s it was sold to developers, and has remained | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
derelict ever since. With some imagination, it's not difficult to | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
see what an incredible place it would have been. The two men behind | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
this impressive scheme were David Davis and John McGlynn Jones. They | :10:13. | :10:19. | |
had become friends after meeting in the trenches of World War One. They | :10:19. | :10:26. | |
set up the ocean mining group, and came under pressure to improve their | :10:26. | :10:32. | |
employees' lot. They look for a way to improve the lives of their child | :10:32. | :10:41. | |
employees. Coal owners were strong armed into it, providing these | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
facilities. They didn't necessarily want to provide them. There is no | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
doubt they had a philanthropic feeling about what they were doing, | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
but this was a way of saying to the communities, looks, we are good | :10:54. | :11:01. | |
people really. You can stop striking and demanding higher wages! It was | :11:01. | :11:08. | |
kind of a bribe. A good bribe, at a bribe nonetheless. In 1946, | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
following the nationalisation of the coalfields, it passed into the care | :11:12. | :11:18. | |
of the boys club of Wales. Alan Herbert and Jim Davis were among the | :11:18. | :11:26. | |
thousands of boys whose lives were changed by the St Athan camp. | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
was the first time we arrived here. There was a sports festival, and | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
there were lads from all over the country coming. We never went on | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
holidays at all in the valleys then, so this was the biggest highlight | :11:41. | :11:48. | |
you'd ever done. What did they do while they were here? They went down | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
to the sea, they played on the beach, beautiful fresh air. Allen | :11:53. | :12:02. | |
became a youth leader, and Jim the very last manager of the site. | :12:02. | :12:08. | |
thought I'd never work again. My son and said, you would love it. I was | :12:08. | :12:14. | |
chosen out of about 60 people to run the village. I ran it for 13 years. | :12:14. | :12:23. | |
It is in a state now. What is it like seeing it? It is heartbreaking. | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
Some people didn't know what to do with their lives. They worked, | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
painted, gardened. It put them in the right stead of life. So they got | :12:33. | :12:41. | |
on in life to become somebody. if this village is completely | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
transformed by nature, vandals or property developers, its legacy will | :12:45. | :12:54. | |
endure through the lives of those it helped. | :12:54. | :13:02. | |
Some holidays! There's lots of camps like that. We used to go as kids, so | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
maybe it was the first prototype. Were your holidays like that? Did | :13:06. | :13:13. | |
you do all those things they were doing? Not all those things.So you | :13:13. | :13:19. | |
are back in Relatively Speaking. The play is quite hard to sum up. | :13:19. | :13:26. | |
a hard play to talk about because there is no moment in itself that is | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
funny, but collectively, it gets more and more hysterical, because it | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
is all to do with mistaken identities. It accelerates. It | :13:35. | :13:43. | |
starts quite dark, in a way. camera crew came to film you and | :13:43. | :13:53. | |
your co-star, Kara Tointon. Yes!I bet you were thrilled. Can you | :13:53. | :13:59. | |
describe the scene? There are two couples, a young couple and an old | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
couple. The old couple are married. He is having an affair with the | :14:04. | :14:10. | |
younger girl, and she wants to get married to the young man. He wants | :14:10. | :14:15. | |
to get married to her. She is there because she wants to break it off | :14:15. | :14:21. | |
with the older man she is having an affair with. She also was his | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
secretary. The young man thinks these are her parents. The girl | :14:24. | :14:30. | |
thinks this is a problem because the young boy has turned up. She knows | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
she has had an affair with Sheila's... Are you with me? Let's | :14:36. | :14:45. | |
:14:46. | :14:58. | ||
Hang on, are we not supposed to be going out? The Coopers want us to | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
go round for tea. I thought they were in Italy. They only went on | :15:02. | :15:07. | |
Wednesday. Current stream restrictions, they changed their | :15:07. | :15:14. | |
plans of. Oh, what bad luck! The Coopers do not actually feature | :15:14. | :15:20. | |
very much, but it so happens, he is trying to get out of the situation. | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
People will have to see it to understand. Bracket is all about | :15:24. | :15:31. | |
infidelity and young love, and marriages and everything. It is | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
totally modern, even though it is set in those times. But because it | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
is all about the stupid things we get up to as people. The situation | :15:39. | :15:45. | |
could be today, except there are no mobile phones. How much have you | :15:45. | :15:52. | |
enjoyed going back to Alan Ayckbourn's work? A long time ago, | :15:52. | :15:58. | |
I did three of his plays, a trilogy, it was at the start of my career, | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
and actors always have to say they enjoy what they do, but in this | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
case, it is true. It is easy, it is wonderful dialogue, the character I | :16:06. | :16:12. | |
play is as daft as a brash, and I love it. There is no heavy drama, | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
but it is totally real. It is a joy, because Alan Ayckbourn takes the | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
audience along with him. And nice to be in the 1960s costumes, no | :16:21. | :16:28. | |
doubt. Talking of costumes, big news... Dungarees are making a | :16:28. | :16:38. | |
:16:38. | :16:39. | ||
comeback. Not for me.I am not even going to go there. But you would | :16:39. | :16:45. | |
agree, on an allotment, they are perfect. If you are digging a pond | :16:45. | :16:55. | |
:16:55. | :16:56. | ||
at the weekend, it would be perfect! But even the real thing! | :16:56. | :17:06. | |
:17:06. | :17:08. | ||
Relatively Speaking opens on 14th May at the Wyndham's Theatre. Next, | :17:08. | :17:15. | |
Carrie has been finding out if a group of Fishermen's Wives and | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
families could do the same thing as the Military Wives. It is the most | :17:19. | :17:25. | |
dangerous job in the UK. Each year, around 25 fishing vessels never | :17:25. | :17:31. | |
make it back to shore, and an average of 68 fishermen are killed | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
or seriously injured. That means that the fishermen who caught this | :17:34. | :17:39. | |
for me to eat today has a one in 20 chance of being killed at sea | :17:39. | :17:45. | |
during his working life. In 2009, Colin went to walk, but a freak | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
storm sprang up just after lunchtime, and his little trawler | :17:49. | :17:55. | |
sank, and he was drowned. Jane Dolby's husband was not found until | :17:55. | :18:00. | |
eight months after he went missing. Without the body, she was not able | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
to get a death certificate and could not get the financial support | :18:03. | :18:08. | |
she was entitled to. We would have lost everything, and we would have | :18:08. | :18:14. | |
been homeless, had it not been for incredible people, who came along | :18:14. | :18:20. | |
to help us. I actually felt very loved and supported by my community. | :18:20. | :18:26. | |
So, I had this idea of recording a song, within a short amount of time, | :18:26. | :18:32. | |
and tons of people made contact, and I said yes to everybody. Today, | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
she is in Hastings, to get together all of those people for the first | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
time. How many of them would consider themselves to be sinners? | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
They have less than 48 hours to rehearse before going into the | :18:43. | :18:49. | |
recording studio. Today, I am going to give them a tiny bit of coaching. | :18:49. | :18:59. | |
:18:59. | :19:01. | ||
-- to be singers. It is not -- not just about the singing, it is the | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
companionship, sharing a very common story. We were married for | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
four days before he went back to see, and four days after that, I | :19:11. | :19:18. | |
got the knock on the door to say that he had passed away. My dad was | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
lost at sea when I was five years old. His body was never recovered. | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
The story of fishing is like an untold war, because many men go to | :19:27. | :19:37. | |
:19:37. | :19:38. | ||
sea, but not all of them come back again. So, now, let's add... You | :19:38. | :19:45. | |
famously worked with Military Wives - How does this lot compare? It is | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
one thing doing the rehearsal, but once you get into the recording | :19:49. | :19:55. | |
process, then we really get to see what they are like. You get to see | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
the individual voices, the individual characters, coming | :19:57. | :20:04. | |
through. My favourite line so far is, we cry to the for those in | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
peril on the sea... You have the added advantage, you have all got | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
stories and their history to tell, you are so connected to this song | :20:12. | :20:19. | |
in a way which people who do not have that connection do not have. | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
When you saying that line, it has got to mean something to you. It | :20:22. | :20:31. | |
has got to cost you. # When we cry to feed, for those in | :20:31. | :20:41. | |
:20:41. | :20:41. | ||
peril on the sea... Now, you are singing! Sounding beautiful there. | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
It is an emotional one tonight. Felicity, we were just saying that | :20:45. | :20:52. | |
your uncle used to have a shipping business. Yes, in India. He was in | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
the Navy, as was my dad, they fell in love with India, and he shafted | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
-- started a shipping fleet. He used to take be sailing with my dad. | :21:02. | :21:07. | |
I was taught very early on that however glorious the sea is, it is | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
a dangerous beast, and you have to respect it. It is not just lovely, | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
you have to have deep respect, and it is dangerous. And that story was | :21:17. | :21:26. | |
heartbreaking. Many of these women had a tragic stories, and you say | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
in the film about singing from the heart - what difference does that | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
make? Huge. There are proven health benefits for singing, anyway, but | :21:34. | :21:40. | |
for some people, when they are grieving, it can be let -- like | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
letting things out, it can be incredibly healing. It must have | :21:44. | :21:49. | |
been an emotional weekend, but how did the recording go? I think it | :21:49. | :21:54. | |
went really well. The producer was a brilliant guy. I had a bit of a | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
chat with the main lady, Jane, today, and she said it was the best | :21:58. | :22:03. | |
she has felt since Colin passed away. She has had a real break | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
through. Hopefully it will make them feel a lot better, but how | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
will they get on in the charts, do you think? There have not been that | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
many choirs that have released singles. You have to have the heart, | :22:16. | :22:22. | |
the great song. Last year, we had Military Wives, but to get the last | :22:22. | :22:27. | |
number one, you would have to go all the way back to 1980, with the | :22:27. | :22:37. | |

# Grande marque, we love you... It reminds me of The Good Life, we | :22:44. | :22:54. | |
:22:54. | :22:58. | ||
were just saying that. Pink Floyd, Madonna, Abba, we had, and then | :22:58. | :23:05. | |
there was this... # You cannot always get what you | :23:05. | :23:13. | |
want... One of my favourites goes back to 1997, and it was Ladysmith | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
Black Mambazo, who did that amazing album with Paul Simon, Graceland, | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
but it was when they did a catch-up advert that their own single really | :23:20. | :23:27. | |
took off. They got to Number Two and they sold one million copies. | :23:27. | :23:37. | |
:23:37. | :23:45. | ||
Who would have thought it? They had That is singing from the heart. | :23:45. | :23:52. | |
Thank you so much, Carrie. Next, Marty Jopson has been looking at | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
the shape-shifting, mind-bending materials which are creeping into | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
our everyday lives. We know the building materials which build our | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
homes and cities, stuff like brick, metal and glass. But cutting-edge | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
research has led to the creation of an amazing array of dry materials, | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
many of which are in this room around me, and they have the | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
potential to change our lives for the better. 1,500 of these weird | :24:18. | :24:24. | |
and wonderful materials have been gathered together at the Institute | :24:24. | :24:30. | |
of Making in London, by the curator. Over the last 50 years or so, some | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
extraordinary materials have been developed, and it is vital that | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
there is a physical place where engineers and scientists can get | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
their hands on them. Many of these materials were created for one | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
specific purpose, but have turned out to have unexpected advantages | :24:44. | :24:50. | |
for all of us. The moon landings helped us sleep better. NASA | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
developed this stuff, memory foam, to protect the astronauts on the | :24:55. | :25:04. | |
Apollo missions, during landings. They also came up with this stuff... | :25:04. | :25:10. | |
In the 1960s, NASA gave us this very special fluid. It is a liquid | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
which is controllable in zero gravity, because it has attracted | :25:14. | :25:20. | |
to a magnet. This oil has tea in the particles of iron oxide inside, | :25:20. | :25:26. | |
rust, to you and me. Those are attracted to the Magnet, and they | :25:26. | :25:32. | |
pull the liquid with it. This special liquid is now used to | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
protect supercomputers. Its magnetic properties allow it to | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
form an airtight seal, and it can float to fill any gaps or crevices | :25:40. | :25:49. | |
perfectly. From the beautiful to the downright weird, this is | :25:49. | :25:56. | |
aerogel. They call it solid smoke. It looks like you should be able to | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
push your finger into it. It feels fragile and incredibly light, but | :26:00. | :26:05. | |
it is surprisingly powerful. To prove it, I am going to need some | :26:05. | :26:12. | |
chocolate and a blowtorch. I am going to fire the substance with | :26:12. | :26:16. | |
heat at 1,000 degrees C. It is amazing. The chocolate is not | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
melting, the special gel is acting as a barrier, completely stopping | :26:21. | :26:28. | |
the heat. It is the best in show later in the world. It is made up | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
of and 98% air, bound with silica. Both air and silica are poor | :26:32. | :26:37. | |
conductors of heat, giving this substance it's fantastic insulating | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
properties. Because it is such a good insulator, people are looking | :26:40. | :26:46. | |
at using it in buildings. I could get this in my cavity walls? At the | :26:46. | :26:52. | |
moment, it is very expensive, but in 10 years' time, who knows? | :26:52. | :26:57. | |
me, this stuff is the most wonderful, a sticky tape which does | :26:57. | :27:05. | |
not feel sticky. It has no added adhesive substance at all. I am | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
being reliably informed that this stuff will allow me to dangle from | :27:08. | :27:13. | |
the ceiling like an insect. The inspiration for this tape comes | :27:13. | :27:23. | |
from nature. They beetle's ability to cling to a smooth surface. | :27:23. | :27:33. | |
:27:33. | :27:33. | ||
at that! It is amazing. It takes my weight. Incredibly, just two strips | :27:33. | :27:38. | |
of this tape can dangle an 80 kilogram man from the ceiling. But | :27:38. | :27:43. | |
how does it do it without any adhesive substance? This was a | :27:43. | :27:47. | |
photograph of the foot of a beetle. It is covered in hundreds of | :27:47. | :27:54. | |
microscopic house. Each one ends in this little patch. These pads let | :27:54. | :27:58. | |
there be to make good contact with the surface. Close contact is vital | :27:58. | :28:08. | |
:28:08. | :28:10. | ||
for adhesion. -- let the beetle. The tape is covered in tiny silicon | :28:10. | :28:15. | |
hares, which stick fast to flat, shiny surfaces. Scientists plan to | :28:15. | :28:20. | |
use it as an adhesive for bandages, because it can be peeled off the | :28:20. | :28:23. | |
skin without leaving a residue behind. So, as you go about your | :28:23. | :28:27. | |
modern life, spare a thought for these extraordinary materials, | :28:27. | :28:31. | |
which are transforming our electronics, homes and even our | :28:31. | :28:38. | |
medicine. The mind boggles. Anyway, earlier, we asked you if you needed | :28:38. | :28:43. | |
help beefing up your choir. You have not disappointed. The Scottish | :28:43. | :28:49. |
