In tonight's programme: a big setback for the

:00:00.:00:07.

owner of a children's farm in Oxfordshire

:00:08.:00:09.

after thousands of pounds of power tools are stolen.

:00:10.:00:11.

Also on the way: a court's been hearing how sewage

:00:12.:00:13.

systems, owned by Thames Water, led to serious problems

:00:14.:00:16.

And later on: a tasty job opportunity in Reading

:00:17.:00:22.

as thousands of people apply for a job trying chocolate

:00:23.:00:37.

He says it's caused a big setback, not just financially,

:00:38.:00:41.

but for the families who use the site.

:00:42.:00:43.

The owner of a children's farm in Oxfordshire has been

:00:44.:00:45.

expressing his anger after thousands of pounds worth of power tools

:00:46.:00:48.

The theft at Fairy Tale Farm in Chipping Norton was caught on CCTV.

:00:49.:00:53.

Rural crime is something Thames Valley Police says it does

:00:54.:01:01.

it cost the region three quarters of a million pounds in 2015.

:01:02.:01:05.

It's the early hours of the morning and a thief is seen on CCTV carrying

:01:06.:01:11.

away loot after breaking into a farm for disabled children.

:01:12.:01:19.

He broke into this building here, he forced the door open and now,

:01:20.:01:22.

He broke in there and he stole all of our power tools.

:01:23.:01:29.

That was drills, jig saws, circular saws,

:01:30.:01:38.

lots of other attachments and fixtures and fittings.

:01:39.:01:40.

The farm reopened this weekend after it's winter break but,

:01:41.:01:45.

because they've lost their tools, work that should have been

:01:46.:01:48.

It's expensive, the tools are expensive and going to be

:01:49.:01:53.

We'll have to replace them over time.

:01:54.:01:56.

It's almost setting us back to when we first started.

:01:57.:02:02.

We didn't have all these tools, we had to build them up.

:02:03.:02:05.

We do most of the work at Fairytale Farm ourselves.

:02:06.:02:07.

We don't have the funds to bring in lots of contractors.

:02:08.:02:10.

To not have these tools has just made our life really difficult.

:02:11.:02:23.

Rural crime in this area is a big issue.

:02:24.:02:25.

Latest figures from NFU Mutual show that while it

:02:26.:02:27.

went down in the south-east, it actually rose in Oxfordshire by 16%.

:02:28.:02:30.

Until about ten years ago, farms were pretty safe from crime.

:02:31.:02:33.

Unfortunately, they're now pretty much hot targets for thieves

:02:34.:02:35.

because they've got expensive items, like welders and chainsaws,

:02:36.:02:39.

that thieves can pick up and sell on for a profit.

:02:40.:02:43.

Thames Valley Police has started a month-long campaign to crack

:02:44.:02:46.

It's been holding property-marking sessions and online chats

:02:47.:02:50.

Fairytale Farm says the response to the break in has been amazing,

:02:51.:02:59.

with a number of strangers offering to donate tools.

:03:00.:03:02.

It wishes now to move on from what's happened as quickly as possible.

:03:03.:03:10.

A man's in a serious condition in hospital

:03:11.:03:12.

Police were called to Windmill Road in Headington just

:03:13.:03:16.

A man in his thirties suffered serious injuries.

:03:17.:03:22.

A 27-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.

:03:23.:03:25.

It's believed the suspect and the victim are known to each other.

:03:26.:03:30.

Next tonight, Thames Water has denied acting recklessly in failing

:03:31.:03:32.

to control sewage spills in Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire.

:03:33.:03:35.

But the company has admitted breaching a number of environmental

:03:36.:03:38.

Aylesbury Crown Court has heard billions of pounds

:03:39.:03:45.

is now being invested in upgrading equipment.

:03:46.:03:48.

Today we heard more details about how stretches of the Thames

:03:49.:03:53.

in Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire came to be so polluted

:03:54.:03:56.

And we heard from the company, Thames Water, that's responsible

:03:57.:04:03.

in what it's doing to make sure that what happened doesn't happen again.

:04:04.:04:08.

Now, the company breached pollution laws in four sewage

:04:09.:04:12.

treatment works in Aylesbury, Didcot, in Henley and Little

:04:13.:04:17.

Marlow and at a pumping station in Littlemore.

:04:18.:04:22.

Thames Water said it accepts responsibility for damage

:04:23.:04:24.

done to the environment, but QC Richard Matthews told

:04:25.:04:29.

the court it was negligence rather than recklessness

:04:30.:04:33.

It's investing ?4 billion in upgrading equipment.

:04:34.:04:40.

There have also been changes to the structure of the company

:04:41.:04:43.

at the top and the QC argued that Thames Water kept a high standard.

:04:44.:04:46.

Judge Sheridan said the company did not live up to that

:04:47.:04:53.

standard or anywhere near it in 2013 and 2014.

:04:54.:04:59.

Thames Water is bracing itself for a hefty fine

:05:00.:05:01.

and the question was raised in court who would pay for it?

:05:02.:05:06.

Judge Sheridan said that it shouldn't be the customers

:05:07.:05:08.

and that the company should be punished.

:05:09.:05:10.

Mr Matthews promised that customers wouldn't feel

:05:11.:05:13.

Thames Water will be sentenced on March 24th.

:05:14.:05:24.

More than 7,000 BMW workers - including those at the Mini plants

:05:25.:05:27.

in Oxford and Swindon - are threatening industrial action

:05:28.:05:29.

over plans to close the final salary pension scheme.

:05:30.:05:36.

The carmaker, which made record pre-tax profits

:05:37.:05:38.

of more than seven and half billion pounds two years ago,

:05:39.:05:41.

BMW has previously said the pension schemes are "increasingly

:05:42.:05:45.

It's agreed to hold talks with the union later this month.

:05:46.:05:53.

A professional footballer, on loan to Swindon Town,

:05:54.:05:55.

has gone on trial charged with causing a man

:05:56.:05:57.

Rohan Ince is accused of deliberately hitting bouncer

:05:58.:06:01.

Gregor Jurcic with a bottle near the Attic nightclub

:06:02.:06:03.

in Windsor in the early hours of Christmas Day in 2015.

:06:04.:06:06.

In court today, the security guards recalled the attack and spoke

:06:07.:06:08.

Bullying, harassment and abuse by patients affects around

:06:09.:06:16.

a quarter of staff working at Oxfordshire's main hospitals.

:06:17.:06:19.

results of a staff survey, at Oxford University Hospitals

:06:20.:06:23.

It also found that almost 20% of staff there,

:06:24.:06:31.

say they've been on the receiving end of bullying by colleagues.

:06:32.:06:34.

The NHS Trust says it aims to empower staff who experience

:06:35.:06:36.

or witness unacceptable behaviour in the workplace, to

:06:37.:06:40.

More than 1500 staff and students have moved out of one

:06:41.:06:46.

of the Oxford University buildings because of asbestos.

:06:47.:06:50.

It was discovered at the Tinbergen building

:06:51.:06:52.

The University says it doesn't believe there is, or has been,

:06:53.:06:56.

But the site has now been shut while removal work is carried out.

:06:57.:07:02.

Asbestos was first discovered there during a survey last year.

:07:03.:07:04.

The building is expected to be closed for around two years.

:07:05.:07:07.

We've been doing some building work on the back of the building

:07:08.:07:12.

and as we've been doing that building work, we've been

:07:13.:07:14.

discovering some extra pieces of asbestos that are not contained.

:07:15.:07:16.

As we've found them, we've encapsulated them or removed them,

:07:17.:07:20.

but as the process has gone forward, we've discovered that there's

:07:21.:07:24.

so much of that to do, we can't safely do it,

:07:25.:07:27.

at least not conveniently, with people still in the building.

:07:28.:07:32.

This year, it's 50 years since homosexuality became

:07:33.:07:34.

To mark that and LGBT history month, all the museums and collections

:07:35.:07:40.

in Oxford have created a special trail to celebrate it.

:07:41.:07:43.

What kind of things will you see in the trail?

:07:44.:07:46.

Well, earlier I was joined in the studio by Beth Asbury,

:07:47.:07:48.

the main organiser of the trail and Clara Barker from the LGBTQ

:07:49.:07:51.

I went to a lecture in LGBT history month in February last year

:07:52.:08:00.

by Professor Richard Parkinson and he called for more explicit

:08:01.:08:03.

rather than implicit representation of LGBT+ people

:08:04.:08:07.

And the project itself, it's called Out In Oxford,

:08:08.:08:11.

How did you go about finding the items?

:08:12.:08:15.

I contacted members of staff and curators from the museums

:08:16.:08:21.

and collections around the university and encouraged them

:08:22.:08:23.

to suggest items for inclusion and then I held a workshop in August

:08:24.:08:27.

with volunteers from amongst the LGBTQ+ community and allies

:08:28.:08:32.

were invited to discuss the object and think about which ones they'd

:08:33.:08:36.

The interpretations in the trail booklet are all written by LGBTQ+

:08:37.:08:44.

It's really introducing accecssibility and multi-vocality

:08:45.:08:49.

into the museum collections, which is a really important

:08:50.:08:51.

And, Clare, you're heavily involved in this and you've written

:08:52.:08:57.

Which ones have captured you the most?

:08:58.:09:00.

There was a lot of different examples of non-binary

:09:01.:09:04.

This is sequentially hermaphroditic, which means it changes from male

:09:05.:09:15.

It means that we're thinking abou the world in a slightly different

:09:16.:09:20.

way than maybe we're used to when we're talking about humans.

:09:21.:09:23.

Was there anything like this at all when you were growing up?

:09:24.:09:28.

I'm a scientist as well and I've met very, very few out LGBT scientists

:09:29.:09:36.

So I think this is a really important step, that we just need

:09:37.:09:41.

more visibility and to know that we're not so different.

:09:42.:09:45.

And, Beth, what's the feedback been like from people who've been

:09:46.:09:47.

to the launch party and people who are hoping to visit this trail?

:09:48.:09:51.

We had about 450 people at the launch party on Saturday

:09:52.:09:55.

and we've got a series of other events throughout LGBT

:09:56.:09:57.

history month, February, in the Pitt Rivers Museum

:09:58.:10:02.

And everyone had fantastic big smiles on their faces on Saturday

:10:03.:10:09.

and had a really good time, I think, so I'm hoping this will be the start

:10:10.:10:13.

of something really, really positive in the future

:10:14.:10:15.

Beth, Clara, thank you so much for coming in to see us.

:10:16.:10:20.

Thank you. Thank you.

:10:21.:10:22.

Now more of today's stories with Sally Taylor.

:10:23.:10:35.

The lights on, the TV cameras have a right. Can must halt their slide

:10:36.:10:43.

down the Premier League? We will have a preview shortly. -- can

:10:44.:10:45.

Bournemouth. And it seems that name might be more

:10:46.:10:48.

apt today than it's ever been. Because a so called "Dad's Navy"

:10:49.:10:53.

of former sailors is being sought to fill key posts on Portsmouth's

:10:54.:10:55.

new aircraft carriers and other ships because of a shortage

:10:56.:11:00.

of skilled personnel. With its ships, submarines and

:11:01.:11:02.

aircraft, the Royal Navy needs a lot But it has been facing a skills

:11:03.:11:06.

shortage and to plug the gap, some people over the age of 60

:11:07.:11:11.

could be allowed to serve. Here in Portsmouth,

:11:12.:11:15.

the home of the Royal Navy, people I spoke to today said

:11:16.:11:18.

they don't think that's a problem. I think it is sad

:11:19.:11:22.

that they haven't got the people that are coming

:11:23.:11:26.

the bottom as engineers to do it but obviously the experience

:11:27.:11:28.

All those old seaman who are drifting

:11:29.:11:32.

around at the moment doing nothing, they could be back on warships doing

:11:33.:11:35.

If they were trained appropriately, they knew what

:11:36.:11:38.

They've got skills and experience, yeah.

:11:39.:11:43.

The latest figures show the Royal Navy

:11:44.:11:45.

and the Royal Marines have a manning deficit of 2.2%.

:11:46.:11:52.

An advertising campaign was launched last September to try

:11:53.:11:56.

The Navy is offering trained ex-regulars

:11:57.:12:01.

It says there will be opportunities to

:12:02.:12:10.

serve on the new Queen Elizabeth aircraft carriers and

:12:11.:12:13.

One former naval officer says it's not just the Armed Forces

:12:14.:12:17.

who are having a problem recruiting engineers.

:12:18.:12:20.

There is a national shortage of engineers in this

:12:21.:12:25.

country so the Navy is fishing in quite a small pond to get

:12:26.:12:29.

It takes a long time to recruit and train people and the

:12:30.:12:32.

Navy seems to be putting a lot of effort, quite

:12:33.:12:38.

rightly in my opinion, into retaining people in the Navy of

:12:39.:12:42.

-- or getting back people who left a year or two ago.

:12:43.:12:45.

Today, the Navy said in a statement, the upper age for

:12:46.:12:47.

service is normally 60 but if there is a service requirement or

:12:48.:12:50.

specialised skills, age waivers may be given on a case-by-case basis.

:12:51.:12:53.

And with the imminent arrival of the first

:12:54.:12:56.

of the new aircraft carriers, the Navy's engineers face a very

:12:57.:12:58.

Hepatitis C patients could be putting themselves at risk buying

:12:59.:13:11.

drugs online from South Asia because they're being denied

:13:12.:13:13.

Fewer than 5% of people with the condition in the south

:13:14.:13:18.

will receive the new more effective treatment in this financial year.

:13:19.:13:23.

The Hepatitis C Trust unsuccessfully challenged the rationing and says

:13:24.:13:25.

patients are turning to the internet because NHS England's policy

:13:26.:13:29.

of treating the sickest patients first means they don't know how long

:13:30.:13:32.

It's a drug with a cure rate of around 95% and the Hepatitis C Trust

:13:33.:13:41.

says it could eliminate the disease as a serious public health concern.

:13:42.:13:47.

But the number of people allowed to have it through the NHS is limited.

:13:48.:13:52.

Others, like Jaci Fleming, are buying it much more cheaply from

:13:53.:13:55.

I have paid ?1100 to have the whole three course,

:13:56.:14:03.

three-month course after years and years of gradual decline when even

:14:04.:14:09.

to do it privately here, I would have to get a mortgage.

:14:10.:14:14.

Harvoni, daklinza, viekirax and exviera are

:14:15.:14:16.

treatments for hepatitis C that were by the NHS in November 2015.

:14:17.:14:23.

They're considered better than other treatments because they have a

:14:24.:14:26.

significant high cure rate without the chemotherapy-like side-effects

:14:27.:14:30.

but they are also much more expensive.

:14:31.:14:40.

As a result, NHS England has limited their use.

:14:41.:14:43.

In the Wessex area, 327 of the 6848 patients will

:14:44.:14:46.

If trusts treat more patients, they face financial penalties.

:14:47.:14:55.

But buying drugs online could expose patients

:14:56.:14:56.

People could put themselves in danger and certainly

:14:57.:15:05.

could put themselves at risk of not getting cured when they could be

:15:06.:15:08.

NHS England says it is spending an extra

:15:09.:15:12.

?200 million a year on these new drugs and

:15:13.:15:23.

it's reduced the number of people dying from

:15:24.:15:27.

NHS England says the numbers being treated will increase

:15:28.:15:30.

each year and that it hopes that as the costs of the drugs come

:15:31.:15:33.

down, it will be able to further expand those numbers.

:15:34.:15:36.

In the meantime, patients such as Jaci have

:15:37.:15:38.

Under sport now. Lewis is live at the stadium tonight where

:15:39.:15:54.

Bournemouth are taking on Manchester city. I suspect fans are expecting a

:15:55.:15:56.

great game, a cracking game in fact. That is right. When Bournemouth came

:15:57.:16:03.

to the Premier League, these were the night that the band had been

:16:04.:16:09.

waiting for. The floodlights are on, the sky TV cameras. Tonight is about

:16:10.:16:14.

whether Bournemouth can halt their slide down the Premier League, the

:16:15.:16:18.

form has not been great, without a win this year. Six points above the

:16:19.:16:22.

relegation zone. Chris has been following bomb this season. Has the

:16:23.:16:28.

performance in as bad as the results suggest? It is yes and no.

:16:29.:16:33.

Defensively yes they have been bad. Everton last time out, they have

:16:34.:16:36.

been ravaged by injuries and suspension but has been a problem.

:16:37.:16:40.

They have been at the length of Provence is by showing us what

:16:41.:16:51.

Bournemouth is capable. Actually, they haven't managed to raise their

:16:52.:16:55.

game against the big teams here and that will keep them in good stead

:16:56.:16:59.

this evening. -- they have managed. Any indication for this evening? 15

:17:00.:17:05.

minutes away from getting the official teams, hopefully some good

:17:06.:17:07.

news as far as the defence of the consent. The racks of Charlie

:17:08.:17:11.

Daniels and Adam Smith, it looks like they are going to be fit this

:17:12.:17:15.

evening. That will be abused as well. Captain Simon Francis looks

:17:16.:17:22.

fit as well. Reverting to some of the former season. Full commentary

:17:23.:17:29.

on the radio. Bring a scarf, it is cold. Hopefully get the Manchester

:17:30.:17:32.

city coach arriving shortly. Southampton had a confidence

:17:33.:17:36.

boosting win ahead of their trip Saints who had lost six

:17:37.:17:38.

of the previous seven in the league, now head into a two week break

:17:39.:17:43.

on the back of a 4-0 January signing Manolo Gabbiadini

:17:44.:17:46.

scored his second and third goals for the club to put

:17:47.:17:51.

Saints in control. A late own goal and Shane Long's

:17:52.:17:58.

fifth goal of the season earned Claude Puel's side their first

:17:59.:18:01.

points on the road this year. They're the right results

:18:02.:18:04.

for us, you know? We haven't been playing badly

:18:05.:18:05.

but we haven't been taking opportunities when they come

:18:06.:18:08.

and sloppy goals and, you know, it all adds up but we

:18:09.:18:10.

know our ability in the squad. We know that we are

:18:11.:18:13.

better than what we are showing on the table

:18:14.:18:15.

at the moment so nice to get another thing under our belts and hopefully

:18:16.:18:19.

kick on from here. Meanwhile, Brighton continue to go

:18:20.:18:23.

from strength to strength at the top And that's where we start our

:18:24.:18:27.

round up of the rest Manager Chris Hughton

:18:28.:18:31.

says just missing out on promotion last season,

:18:32.:18:33.

is motivating his side Goals from Tomor Hemed

:18:34.:18:35.

certainly help. Sam Baldock tapped home from close

:18:36.:18:44.

range to make it two. And after more good

:18:45.:18:47.

play from Solly March, Michael Kightly's free-kick

:18:48.:18:49.

briefly gave Burton hope before Glenn Murray's header sealed

:18:50.:18:52.

Brighton's sixth successive home league win, another step

:18:53.:18:56.

towards the Premier League taken. Reading had plenty of the ball,

:18:57.:18:59.

but couldn't find a way past A combination of wayward shooting

:19:00.:19:02.

and a goalkeeper in form the reason. Swindon were dragged

:19:03.:19:09.

into the League One relegation zone after defeat at fellow strugglers

:19:10.:19:12.

Bury. James Vaughan's 37th-minute

:19:13.:19:16.

penalty the difference after Raphael Rossi-Branco

:19:17.:19:18.

was judged to have fouled. Oxford left it late but made

:19:19.:19:23.

it five wins in a row thanks to substitute

:19:24.:19:26.

Kane Hemming's glanced header. The U's could've made it two

:19:27.:19:29.

in injury time But were thwarted not once,

:19:30.:19:32.

not twice but three times Portsmouth defender Matt Clarke

:19:33.:19:36.

hasn't scored for over a year, but he took just two minutes

:19:37.:19:44.

to give his side the lead Substitute Kal Naismith sealed

:19:45.:19:47.

the victory in added time, slotting home after being sent clear

:19:48.:19:53.

by Noel Hunt. Pompey back to winning

:19:54.:19:56.

ways in League Two. Good wins there. The man city coach

:19:57.:20:11.

has just arrived here at the stadium. ?300 million of talent

getting. The fans out there. Let's do a round-up.

:20:17.:20:19.

Onto ice hockey and four goals from Vanya Antonov helped

:20:20.:20:21.

Basingstoke Bison to victory over Hull on Saturday.

:20:22.:20:26.

Vanya both opened and closed the scoring in a 7-1 win, a match

:20:27.:20:29.

which saw forward Ciaran Long become the club's record

:20:30.:20:31.

Bison lost the reverse fixture 3-2 on Sunday.

:20:32.:20:38.

After finishing second in the Vendee Globe round the world

:20:39.:20:41.

yacht race last month, Gosport's Alex Thomson has announced

:20:42.:20:43.

he's going to try again in four years' time!

:20:44.:20:46.

Thousands of people braved the weather to welcome Thomson home

:20:47.:20:49.

Despite sailing for much of this year's race with a damaged boat,

:20:50.:20:57.

he broke several speed records along the way and now hopes to go one

:20:58.:21:01.

Good luck to Alex. I'm sure we are going to follow his journey.

:21:02.:21:17.

Manchester City had just arrived. Bournemouth will put on a

:21:18.:21:20.

performance when the big boys roll into town, hopefully this time as

:21:21.:21:22.

well. Thank you.

:21:23.:21:27.

Time for the weather. Alexis is here. It was bitterly cold over the

:21:28.:21:32.

weekend. We go into double figures in temperatures.

:21:33.:21:34.

Natasha Weyers took this picture of the sunrise at Southampton Docks.

:21:35.:21:37.

Cathy Anning photographed a seal after catching a fish

:21:38.:21:39.

And Richard Welch took this picture on a walk in Petersfield.

:21:40.:21:52.

Beautiful blue skies overhead. Last week, temperatures struggled to

:21:53.:21:57.

raise to a high of just for starters. Into double figures today,

:21:58.:22:02.

13 filters. Some brightness this week. Some patchy light rain at

:22:03.:22:05.

times and a good deal of cloud as well through the course of the week.

:22:06.:22:10.

Overnight tonight, eight few clear spells that may allow temperatures

:22:11.:22:14.

full freezing or just below. These of values in our towns and cities.

:22:15.:22:19.

The wind will ease by dawn tomorrow. There will be some brightness

:22:20.:22:22.

berthing tomorrow. It will be fleeting because the cloud will

:22:23.:22:25.

start to increase from the self and we will see some outbreaks of mainly

:22:26.:22:30.

like an patchy rain. Not amounting to too much. A lot of cloud as well.

:22:31.:22:36.

Nine to 11 Celsius beehive. The wind will be fairly light. Tomorrow

:22:37.:22:41.

night, clear spells are possible. During the early hours of Wednesday

:22:42.:22:44.

morning, temperatures start to rise. It will be a mild start Wednesday

:22:45.:22:48.

with losers six to eight Celsius. When state itself, a lot of cloud.

:22:49.:22:56.

-- when states. The winds are gradually changing direction from

:22:57.:22:59.

that south-easterly airflow to start date a more south-westerly airflow.

:23:00.:23:07.

Driving in milder air. Through Wednesday, we are looking at Heise

:23:08.:23:11.

to ten of 11 Celsius. Thursday, high pressure starts to build an even

:23:12.:23:16.

further. A lot of cloud around on Thursday that there will be some

:23:17.:23:19.

brighter and sunny spells and it should stay mainly dry as well.

:23:20.:23:24.

Friday, very similar to that state. A mild day, ten to 11 Celsius. A lot

:23:25.:23:28.

of cloud but some breaks in the cloud cover. The wind is fairly

:23:29.:23:33.

light. As we look ahead to the weekend, mainly dry, high

:23:34.:23:37.

dominating, the night will be chilly and it will be milder by day.

:23:38.:23:41.

Temperatures remaining in double figures. Right, the subject.

:23:42.:23:46.

It may not have escaped your notice that tomorrow is Valentine's Day.

:23:47.:23:49.

So here's a subject which is close to many of our hearts.

:23:50.:23:52.

Because, believe it or not, a company in Berkshire is looking

:23:53.:23:56.

for someone to take on the onerous task of testing their tasty chocs.

:23:57.:24:00.

We sent along our own "little sweetie", Ben Moore, to apply.

:24:01.:24:04.

One of the world's biggest chocolate makers

:24:05.:24:21.

really does want a new taster and it really could be you.

:24:22.:24:29.

There's no real requirements that you can have for the

:24:30.:24:31.

job, you know, you can't train for it.

:24:32.:24:33.

It's basically what is in your mouth, it's the taste buds

:24:34.:24:36.

Mondelez owns brands like Cadbury and Oreo so this is the big one.

:24:37.:24:40.

But getting this sweet job won't be a piece of cake.

:24:41.:24:43.

It was advertised on social media so there

:24:44.:24:45.

We are not looking to see whether they like the sample, we want them

:24:46.:24:57.

to taste it and basically say what they see or say what they taste from

:24:58.:25:02.

the product. It entails a fair bit of training. You would not think so

:25:03.:25:05.

that you need training to eat chocolate.

:25:06.:25:06.

Through the tasting hatch, there's a change of mood.

:25:07.:25:08.

I can assure you it isn't seedy, we use a red light so when

:25:09.:25:12.

the candidate is assessing the samples, it masks all of the colour

:25:13.:25:15.

This is where the lucky applicant will be

:25:16.:25:19.

confined with chocolate for seven and a half hours a week.

:25:20.:25:25.

So I'm ready to taste my first chocolate samples.

:25:26.:25:28.

I open the hatch, there we are, three samples.

:25:29.:25:31.

Now, this one is the control sample, I try this first and

:25:32.:25:35.

then I have got to decide which of these two it tastes most

:25:36.:25:39.

like and all the while, writing down what I

:25:40.:25:41.

think about all the flavours of the chocolate.

:25:42.:25:43.

Once I've done that, I eat a cracker,

:25:44.:25:45.

This'll be the test they the short listed candidates over three days.

:25:46.:26:08.

At the end, there will be left. -- there will be one left.

:26:09.:26:09.

Yes, you have shown that you can discriminate but

:26:10.:26:18.

sadly you've not quite made the grade to go onto one

:26:19.:26:21.

There was no sweet talking my way round it.

:26:22.:26:24.

But I suppose for times like these, there's

:26:25.:26:28.

So we weren't going to let Ben have all the fun

:26:29.:26:35.

We have to try the chocolate in each of these three pots and decide

:26:36.:26:40.

Slow down. Which is the odd one out? This as number 646. How many

:26:41.:26:53.

chocolates are there? I have got the answers. I think this is the odd one

:26:54.:27:01.

out. Probably not great with the cold because I don't think I can

:27:02.:27:06.

taste as well. I could just keep eating chocolate. Which one? 646.

:27:07.:27:11.

You'd think that is the different one? 272. I think we should carry on

:27:12.:27:19.

eating chocolate. Never mind working out which is the odd one out.

:27:20.:27:22.

Goodbye for now. Good night.

:27:23.:27:29.
