:00:12. > :00:18.million in today's money at the National Gallery was a Geordie man,
:00:18. > :00:20.a retired bus driver, Kempton Bunton. He claimed to have
:00:20. > :00:25.travelled to London to see the painting after reading about its
:00:25. > :00:29.purchase for the nation to protect it from a proposed sale to an
:00:29. > :00:34.American collector and decided on impulse to steal the painting the
:00:34. > :00:41.very next day. But what on earth turns a mild-
:00:41. > :00:46.mannered OAP into a master criminal? A Professor from the
:00:46. > :00:52.American university in Rome's studied the Goya theft in detail.
:00:52. > :00:57.He was 6 1 years old, disabled, retired grandfather who weighed 17
:00:58. > :01:01.stone. How did he pull it off? According to his version of the
:01:01. > :01:04.story which may differ from the reality, he used a former men's
:01:04. > :01:09.lavatory as his point of entry and exit, a ladder from nearby building
:01:09. > :01:13.sites and managed to climb up the ladder 14 feet and enter through
:01:13. > :01:17.the lavatory, grab the painting and go out through the same window.
:01:17. > :01:20.it's just through here? It is. what makes this different from any
:01:20. > :01:24.other art theft? This was distinctive because it
:01:24. > :01:28.coincided with the time when organised crime was becoming
:01:28. > :01:32.interested in art crime and Scotland Yard thought there was a
:01:32. > :01:34.large Mafia behind this theft. But in fact, this was a crime of
:01:34. > :01:40.passion, of political motivation, misguided altruism, because this
:01:40. > :01:42.was not a crime of profit, but about making a point.
:01:42. > :01:47.Kempton Bunton returned to Newcastle having jettisoned the
:01:47. > :01:51.frame on the way and stashed the masterpiece in his wardrobe. The
:01:51. > :01:57.story captivated the nation and became a sensation in the press.
:01:57. > :02:00.An interest that Bunton kept alive by writing ransom notes demanding
:02:00. > :02:05.that a charity of his choosing should be set up with �140,000. The
:02:05. > :02:13.sum the painting had been bought for and an amount he'd calculated
:02:13. > :02:18.would pay for free television licences for pensioners. Colin
:02:18. > :02:21.Ashwell was a trainy bobby on his first beat in Newcastle at the time.
:02:21. > :02:26.We knew he'd been to prison twice for failing to pay his television
:02:26. > :02:31.licence. I thought that he was a misguided eccentric. Stpwh it never
:02:31. > :02:36.crossed your mind he would have stole tn painting? No, never in a
:02:36. > :02:40.hundred years,, I never thought he was capable or thought he'd never
:02:40. > :02:43.had the ingenuity to do such a thing. He hands himself in, what
:02:43. > :02:49.happens then? He was tried a the Old Bailey, they charged him with
:02:49. > :02:55.stealing the Goya and the frame and demanding money with menaces, but
:02:55. > :03:00.as Bunton only meant to borrow it, he couldn't be convicted of theft.
:03:00. > :03:04.The old Act said to steal you had to permanently deprive the owner
:03:04. > :03:08.will have to. Well he didn't, he went to borrow it and give it back
:03:08. > :03:11.when he was satisfied and he was give an nominal sentence of three
:03:11. > :03:14.months for stealing the frame because that was never recovered.

:03:45. > :03:48.He died in 176, almost come plaitly unknown. Except by... The only
:03:48. > :03:55.remaining witness to his unlikely criminal career back in its

:04:08. > :04:15.Rob Roy. McGregor? Yes. He's supposedly buried over there next
:04:15. > :04:19.to his wife and two sons and he was a wild man in his day, driving the
:04:19. > :04:25.local lairds absolutely mad. But he died with a Royal pardon because he
:04:25. > :04:30.was such an entertaining character. Daniel Defoe wrote the Boag, The
:04:30. > :04:33.Highland Rogue. Jeffly Lendrum was sentenced to 30 months in prison
:04:33. > :04:40.for trying to smuggle falcon eggs out of the country. What's more
:04:40. > :04:44.interesting is what happened to the eggs after he was caught -- Jeffrey
:04:44. > :04:49.Lendrum. The peregrine falcon is the fastest bird on the planet and
:04:49. > :04:54.highly prized on the black market. There are only 1400 breeding pairs
:04:54. > :04:55.in the UK, all of which are protected and if harmed

:05:01. > :05:07.Convicted egg thief Jeffrey Lendrum, seen here on footage seized from
:05:07. > :05:11.his computer, was bold enough to film himself raiding nests in
:05:11. > :05:14.Canada. He was stopped a at Birmingham Airport trying to
:05:14. > :05:17.smuggle 14 peregrine eggs to Dubai earlier this year. The subsequent
:05:17. > :05:21.investigation uncovered shocking evidence of the scale and ambition
:05:21. > :05:28.of his operation. In the meantime, the police were left with a dilemma
:05:28. > :05:32.- what to do with the eggs. Andy McWilliam from the wildlife
:05:32. > :05:35.crime unit was the officer in charge of the case.
:05:35. > :05:39.Basically, the Counter-Terrorism Unit at Birmingham Airport were
:05:39. > :05:42.alerted to a male that was acting suspiciously at the airport.
:05:42. > :05:52.They've taken him to one side and ultimately during the search they
:05:52. > :05:53.
:05:53. > :05:56.found that he's got birds' eggs strapped to his abdomen, wrapped up
:05:56. > :06:00.with bandages. Realising the eggs could be viable, the customs
:06:00. > :06:06.officials tied them up in socks and placed them on their computer
:06:06. > :06:11.monitors which acted as temporary incubators. We got a local Falconer
:06:11. > :06:15.to test the eggs at the airport and found out that out of the 14 eggs,
:06:15. > :06:21.13 were still viable and contained live chicks. We know they were take
:06:21. > :06:26.none the Rhondda area, South Wales, when I interviewed Mr Lendrum he
:06:26. > :06:29.admitted he targeted four nest sites. How lucrative is this kind
:06:29. > :06:33.of business? We suspect based on the intelligence we've got he was
:06:33. > :06:37.due to make tens of thousands of pounds from this one particular
:06:37. > :06:42.trip. He's a professional, no doubt about it. He knows exactly what
:06:42. > :06:47.he's doing, he's highly organised. I think he's doing a tremendous
:06:47. > :06:53.amount of damage worldwide targeting these valuable birds.
:06:53. > :06:57.The eggs were them taken by a local Falconer who incubated and
:06:57. > :07:07.successfully hatched 11 chicks. We were lucky enough to capture the
:07:07. > :07:11.
:07:11. > :07:17.only footage of the birth of one of But 11 births were not the end of
:07:17. > :07:21.the story. West Midlands Police were then faced with their next
:07:21. > :07:26.problem. In Britain, when birds are taken illegally from the wild, they
:07:26. > :07:29.must wherever possible be released back into the wild. In this case,
:07:29. > :07:37.that means finding peregrine Foster parents to rear them that have
:07:37. > :07:42.enough space in their nests to take the extra chicks.
:07:42. > :07:45.So I'm in Scotland to help James Leonard from the RSPB introduce the
:07:45. > :07:51.first three chicks back into the wild.
:07:51. > :07:56.It's a steep cliff. In this yellow bag, hanging from my
:07:56. > :08:00.belt, I have three ten day old peregrine chicks. Although
:08:00. > :08:04.difficult to access, our nest site is looking good. It contains one
:08:04. > :08:07.chick which hatched at the same time as our orphans. And the
:08:07. > :08:11.location is protected around-the- clock by the Scottish Wildlife
:08:11. > :08:16.Trust. I can see the chick, it's about to
:08:16. > :08:22.have three brothers and sisters. That's the first one. Look at this!
:08:22. > :08:27.A peregrine chick about to start a new life in the Clyde. I'm worried
:08:27. > :08:31.about the smell on my hands. Is that a problem? Not in the case of
:08:32. > :08:36.birds. Peregrines, they actually smell, so not a problem at all.
:08:36. > :08:40.They can't count either, so to them, this is four hungry mouths to feed,
:08:40. > :08:44.hopefully what comes naturally, they'll feed their young.
:08:44. > :08:48.It's been a poor start in life for these three chicks, an
:08:48. > :08:51.extraordinary journey up to here, but they're in a great site, it's a
:08:51. > :08:58.well protected nest, fingers crossed they'll fledge and then who
:08:58. > :09:03.knows where they'll go. Job done! What an absolutely aiz maizing
:09:03. > :09:09.story. We are at the Loch Lomond bird of prey centre with Stuart
:09:09. > :09:14.Robertson, the proprietor. I have a peregrine hybrid here and you have
:09:14. > :09:18.something bigger. You've gone quality and I've gone quantity.
:09:18. > :09:24.What a fantastic bird. It's a beauty. Coming back to my perfectly
:09:24. > :09:28.formed one here, why is it wearing a balaclava? It's a hood. Falcons
:09:28. > :09:32.are very nervous creatures, so to come them down, you put a hood on,
:09:32. > :09:36.they think it's night-time, hoodwinked into thinking it's night.
:09:36. > :09:40.They calm right down, so he's standing this perfectly calm.
:09:41. > :09:45.Now over to this big boy? Yes, we saw in the film that birds are
:09:45. > :09:53.still being taken from the wild but also from sanctuarys and you've had
:09:53. > :09:57.a problem yourself here? Yes, I had hawks stolen nine weeks ago. Hawks
:09:57. > :10:03.are easily targeted, they don't require any rings or paperwork and
:10:03. > :10:12.they've been purely stolen for money. Alison, you have some
:10:12. > :10:19.expensive feathers here? From a grumpy old bird to a grumpy old man,
:10:19. > :10:22.Arthur Smith. There are some things that make him smile.
:10:23. > :10:26.Tonight, I'm expecting to sleep sweetly because I'm staying in the
:10:26. > :10:31.house where some of the world's favourite bedtime stories were
:10:31. > :10:36.written. Once upon a time, there were three
:10:36. > :10:39.little kittens, and their names were... This is Hill Top, the Lake
:10:39. > :10:49.District home of Beatrix Potter, the author and illustrator of the
:10:49. > :10:50.
:10:50. > :10:54.tales of Peter Rabbit, Tom Kitten and many more.
:10:54. > :11:01.Beatrix first visited the Lake District on family holidays with
:11:01. > :11:04.her parents. She fell in love with the place. Her career began with
:11:04. > :11:08.letters written from the Lake District holidays, illustrated with
:11:08. > :11:14.her beautiful sketches and sent to the children of family friends.
:11:14. > :11:20.She used some of these later in her first book which she fought hard to
:11:20. > :11:26.get published. It was an immediate success. It was called The Tale of
:11:26. > :11:33.Peter Rabbit. Peter, who was very naughty, ran straightaway to Mr
:11:33. > :11:39.McGregor's garden and squeezed under the gate. But her parents did
:11:39. > :11:43.not approve of her enterprise. Beatrix came from a very wealthy
:11:43. > :11:48.background, very well-to-do family. Her father was a barrister and
:11:48. > :11:52.Beatrix was brought up, as would befit a Victorian gentleman's
:11:52. > :11:56.daughter and daughters of respectable families did not go
:11:56. > :12:02.into "trade". Things became even frostier when Beatrix grew close to
:12:02. > :12:07.one of her publishers, Norman Warm. Beatrix was still very much in the
:12:07. > :12:12.control of her parents and her parents didn't like Norman at all.
:12:12. > :12:16.Also, they had wanted Beatrix to be available to look after them in
:12:16. > :12:21.their old age. Her parents finally agreed to the
:12:21. > :12:26.marriage, but sadly, Norman died before it could ever take place.
:12:26. > :12:36.But book sales and a small inheritance meant Beatrix could now
:12:36. > :12:40.
:12:40. > :12:45.afford Hill Top, a working farm in This is where Beatrix wrote.
:12:45. > :12:50.Writing out of her desk and gaidsing out for inspiration. It
:12:50. > :12:57.sounds romantic, but actually, beet Rick was a canny woman. She was one
:12:57. > :13:03.of of the first writers to recognise the possibilities of
:13:03. > :13:08.mench dice. That finally allowed her the independence she craved. To
:13:08. > :13:17.allow her independence in farming and conservation and settling into
:13:17. > :13:23.local life she found love again. She started working together with
:13:23. > :13:29.William Hellis. They became friendly and when he proposed, they
:13:29. > :13:34.got married. They married late, she was 47, he
:13:34. > :13:39.was 42, but they enjoyed 30 years together. I'm sleeping down stairs,
:13:39. > :13:44.Beatrix would have spent a lot of time in this part of the house. She
:13:44. > :13:50.loved animals, but she was a farmer and she would not have been adverse
:13:50. > :13:54.to a touch of lamb hotpot for the summer. Some of the walls are four
:13:54. > :13:59.feet thick and there were queer noises inside of them, as if there
:13:59. > :14:04.were a secret staircase. This is a dark, cold house.
:14:04. > :14:11.You can hear scratchings, but they are just from benign friends of
:14:11. > :14:17.Samuel Whiskers. That was not the warmest night I
:14:17. > :14:23.have ever spent. I did have a nightmare involving a Mr McGregor,
:14:24. > :14:28.but I realise what a remarkable woman, Beatrix Potter was. She led
:14:28. > :14:33.a very restrictive life, tied to her parents, quite old fashioned.
:14:33. > :14:37.Yet in sheer ambition in dedication in getting published she created
:14:37. > :14:43.her own life and her own wealth which was very modern indeed. She
:14:43. > :14:47.left quite a legacy, including more than 4,000 acres given to the
:14:47. > :14:52.National Trust to presthearve beautiful landscape, but best of
:14:52. > :14:57.all, she left 23 tales that more than 100 years later are still read
:14:57. > :15:02.and loved by children all over the world. Not bad for a late bloomer.
:15:02. > :15:07.You know this is also 100 years old and still going strong. It is the
:15:07. > :15:10.SS Sir Walter Scot. It is thought to be the UK's first green
:15:10. > :15:15.passenger vessel, running on used cooking oil.
:15:15. > :15:18.You can see wee puffs of steam. That is just as well as this is
:15:18. > :15:22.Loch Lomond, that is where the majority of Glasgow's drinking
:15:22. > :15:29.water comes from. Talking of which, do you remember
:15:29. > :15:34.the band Wet Wet Wet? Yes, Marty Pellow and the boys. They had a
:15:34. > :15:40.number one hit that went around my head for months and months.
:15:40. > :15:48.That is the one, but it is also one of the most success songs of all
:15:48. > :15:53.time. Carrie Grant went to find out the story behind its success. You
:15:53. > :16:01.will recognise this, the soundtrack to the 1990s.
:16:01. > :16:07.# I feel it in my fingers # I feel it in my toes. # The song
:16:08. > :16:14.by Wet Wet Wet, played in Four Weddings and a Funeral, stayed at
:16:14. > :16:22.number one, longer than any The Beatles song ever did. So, guess
:16:22. > :16:27.what entitled the song Feel It In My Fingers? Well, it was Sunday
:16:28. > :16:37.lunch. It was written by Reg Presley from and over in Hampshire.
:16:38. > :16:41.
:16:41. > :16:45.In the 1960s, he had found fame his band the Troggs, he was famous for
:16:45. > :16:51.a song called Oscar Wilde. I was doing my song. There was a
:16:51. > :16:58.painter there. He didn't know how I was. Then this DJ went, I thought,
:16:58. > :17:04.wild thing. I thought, if that song ain't number one next week, I will
:17:04. > :17:10.eat my brush. He asked me if I liked it. I said, yeah, then I was
:17:10. > :17:16.off. That was it. # Wild thing, I think you move me
:17:16. > :17:20.# But I want to know for sure. # Wildthing wild was a number one hit,
:17:20. > :17:25.including in America. It happened so fast. Somebody said
:17:25. > :17:31.what was it like being a number one. I said it was like walking on the
:17:31. > :17:36.Moon for the first time it is so new so, good. Despite the success,
:17:36. > :17:41.the Troggs remained at heart, down to earth country boys. For Reg it
:17:41. > :17:46.was coming back to the routes after weeks away touring that inspired
:17:46. > :17:50.his most enduring hit. We got back on Sunday. Sunday in
:17:50. > :17:56.England is lovely. You smell the roast dinner. My daughter was four
:17:56. > :18:00.years old, running around. The television was on. I heard the Joy,
:18:00. > :18:04.a Salvation Army band. They were doing their bit with the tambourine,
:18:04. > :18:12.about love, love, love. It left me with this thing
:18:12. > :18:17.# I feel it in my fingers # I feel it in my toes... # I got
:18:17. > :18:21.the bass out and tapped around tonne. It felt right.
:18:21. > :18:29.The feeling, the mood that you were in, everything was right. I phoned
:18:29. > :18:35.Chris. I was like, "Chris, I think you ought to come around here, I
:18:35. > :18:39.think I have got the next hit." Sing it to me like you would have
:18:39. > :18:49.sung it. # I feel it in my fingers
:18:49. > :18:51.
:18:51. > :18:58.# I feel it in my toes # Love is all around me
:18:58. > :19:02.# And so the feeling grows # And of course, Reg was dead right about
:19:02. > :19:10.the song. It was an international favourite three times over, first
:19:10. > :19:17.for the Troggs, then for REM and then Reg received in the early
:19:17. > :19:23.1990s, an unexpected demo. I was drinking a cup of tea, and
:19:23. > :19:28.their chords, their stoil, wow! The tea went all over the room! As soon
:19:28. > :19:34.as he opened his mouth and sung it, I thought, yes!
:19:34. > :19:39.# I feel it in my fingers. # When you bring a song into the world it
:19:39. > :19:44.is like having a child. They ask if they can do it, but I say yes, only
:19:44. > :19:50.if they look after it. The song won three Ivor Novella but
:19:50. > :19:54.after 15 weeks firmly at number one, it was withdrawn from the sales,
:19:54. > :19:58.simply to give other records a chance! It would have been the
:19:58. > :20:02.biggest single ever. I would have loved to have done it.
:20:02. > :20:07.15 weeks is still pretty good?! is great.
:20:08. > :20:15.You were going for the record! sort of feeds you that song.
:20:16. > :20:22.I just wonder if I will be there with it in 20 years' time. I won't
:20:22. > :20:26.be, but I wonder if it will carry Another thing that stood the test
:20:26. > :20:33.of time is Inch Maghogn Priory, behind us here in the heart of Lake

:20:47. > :20:50.of life, but, with a bit more noise, and needing a bit more peace and
:20:50. > :20:53.quiet, the perfect place to send Dom Littlewood. This is a story

:22:16. > :22:22.has been here for many years. That puts her to the left. That
:22:22. > :22:26.puts her to the right. That way! It is not moving! No, she
:22:26. > :22:30.is confused. How long have you been here? 20 years and I love it there
:22:30. > :22:36.is no traffic. Everybody gets about their business. You feel safe here
:22:36. > :22:38.it is a very good place to bring up children. Bob has been delivering
:22:38. > :22:43.letters on the island for over 13 years.
:22:43. > :22:46.How do you feel about the fact that the population of the island has
:22:46. > :22:50.increased? We really needed it. We needed the young folk to come back
:22:50. > :22:55.here. Your rounds are longer? I still
:22:55. > :22:59.have the same amount of hours. I come home from work.
:22:59. > :23:03.I will be doing this only for another month or so, any way, I'm
:23:04. > :23:07.due to retire. Oh, no! It will be the next person
:23:07. > :23:14.that comes along who has to think about newcomers.
:23:14. > :23:19.The new postman is James, who moved his family here to Fetlar from the
:23:19. > :23:23.Cotswolds two years ago. Why did you change your lifestyle?
:23:23. > :23:28.I worked in the construction industry. I was made redundant in
:23:28. > :23:32.two years. I got a map out, I closed my eyes and Fetlar came out.
:23:32. > :23:37.We were in the rat race and wanted to change our lives. I would have
:23:37. > :23:42.been forever thinking what if if we had not made the move.
:23:42. > :23:46.Jade, what do you think of it? love it. Everyone is great. You
:23:46. > :23:51.don't feel like an outer. You don't have a regret to what row
:23:51. > :23:57.have done? No. Not at all. You, Sarah? I miss my family, but
:23:57. > :24:02.still, I would not go back down south. Now a British movie with a
:24:02. > :24:08.�5 million budget is being filmed right here on Fetlar. That could be
:24:08. > :24:13.its chance to put itself on the map. The film is a drama about a remote
:24:13. > :24:16.island life. The producers are here holding auditions for the movie,
:24:16. > :24:23.attracting folk from Fetlar and across the Shetlands.
:24:23. > :24:27.What is the storey about? The story was ready to go, without a location.
:24:27. > :24:32.I was waiting for a plane to Aberdeen. I looked up and there was
:24:32. > :24:36.a BBC programme on. It was the Shetlands. I thought this was where
:24:36. > :24:39.the movie had to be set. It was not long before a few
:24:39. > :24:44.familiar Fetlar faces had to face the panel too.
:24:44. > :24:48.You have gone greater, it suits you. You look the same, you do, you look
:24:48. > :24:54.great. I have had my life put on hold for
:24:54. > :25:02.ten years, it that make these sound bitter, then I am sorry.
:25:02. > :25:09.I'm not going to argue with you! Not as nervus as I thought I might
:25:09. > :25:14.be. Do you think you have it? Optimism! Yes, for sure! Whether I
:25:14. > :25:21.get the part or not is eril vent. This film will be good for the
:25:21. > :25:28.island. Back inside the auditions were
:25:28. > :25:33.hotting up. With one role especially for man's own special
:25:33. > :25:41.friend. What do you have about you that is
:25:41. > :25:49.special? He eats. Eats a lot. the panel had spotted who is top
:25:49. > :25:55.dog here... OK, Byron, you are in! If a dog can get a part, then why
:25:55. > :25:59.not me?! I think they have given you the wrong outfit! Take it in
:25:59. > :26:03.your own time. The lure of money, ambition and
:26:03. > :26:09.success has slowly drained the lifeblood of this island, Fetlar.
:26:10. > :26:14.Although, with the arrival of you good people, that blood will once
:26:14. > :26:19.again course through. Veins of Fetlar.
:26:19. > :26:22.That was terrific. But I won't be needing this, will
:26:22. > :26:27.I? The experience of coming to Fetlar is one that I shall always
:26:27. > :26:31.remember. I have learned to appreciate the tranquility and
:26:31. > :26:40.lifestyle here and you never know, this city boy may well be coming
:26:40. > :26:45.back soon. Thank you very much, Dom. You know
:26:45. > :26:50.I think that I will be looking back here and coming back too. Looking
