0:00:02 > 0:00:05- Hello from the Highlands of Scotland. I'm Lucy Siegle. - And I'm Larry Lamb
0:00:05 > 0:00:08and this is the Best Of Britain, as seen on The One Show.
0:00:20 > 0:00:24We've come to the enchanting town of Oban, famous for its seafood,
0:00:24 > 0:00:25its amphitheatre...
0:00:25 > 0:00:28..And a Bonfire Night display which became an unlikely internet
0:00:28 > 0:00:32sensation when all the fireworks went off at the same time.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39Don't worry. Tonight will be highlights all the way, as we give you another
0:00:39 > 0:00:42chance to see some of your favourite One Show films.
0:00:42 > 0:00:47Coming up, can you really slide a 1,000 tonne bridge on washing-up liquid?
0:00:47 > 0:00:51The 104 metre long bridge was built
0:00:51 > 0:00:55120 metres away in that direction.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Plus, a time for romance underneath the Glasgow station clock.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02I'm so in love with this guy, I can't deny it any more.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06And the mystery of the Luton cat burglar. Angellica Bell has the tale.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10He's been bringing unusual items home.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12One of his favourites is some underwear.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15This is a ladies' thong and a chicken fillet.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18- He brought that in?- He brought that in.- That is a bit strange.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Now, here's something really special to start with -
0:01:23 > 0:01:26killer whales off the coast of Scotland.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29They're incredibly difficult to find, but our wildlife man,
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Mike Dilger, he loves a challenge.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37When the One Show received news that killer whales had been spotted
0:01:37 > 0:01:41close to our shore, we just had to check it out.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44You've got the west coast of Scotland over there, we've got
0:01:44 > 0:01:49Skye over there and we've got a huge school of common dolphins
0:01:49 > 0:01:53joining us on our journey, looking for these killer whales!
0:01:53 > 0:01:56We trawled the area with little success.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58It's such a hard animal to find,
0:01:58 > 0:02:01but eventually, our network of local contacts gave us
0:02:01 > 0:02:05the breakthrough we needed. It was all hands on deck!
0:02:05 > 0:02:08They're just right ahead. Right ahead!
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Yeah. Oh, look at that! Oh, my word!
0:02:11 > 0:02:14You're never going to believe this.
0:02:14 > 0:02:19We've just spotted killer whales off the front of the boat.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23I think I can see three. There's a huge dorsal fin. And one there!
0:02:23 > 0:02:27Look at that! It's absolutely huge!
0:02:27 > 0:02:33Oh, my word! There's two enormous fins. They've got to be two males.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Oh, that's sensational!
0:02:35 > 0:02:37'In fact, there were four individuals.'
0:02:45 > 0:02:49Wow! Look at that!
0:02:49 > 0:02:53We think this pod of killer whales belong to the west coast community.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56It's thought there are nine members in the family
0:02:56 > 0:02:58and it's the only known killer whales
0:02:58 > 0:03:02that are resident around the whole of the British coast.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Killer whales in Britain is the subject of a lengthy
0:03:05 > 0:03:07scientific study.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Of the three distinct groups that visit our shores,
0:03:10 > 0:03:14the west coast community is the only one that stays here all year round.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16But with just nine individuals
0:03:16 > 0:03:19and a home range stretching between the Outer Hebrides
0:03:19 > 0:03:23and Galway in the west of Ireland, to find
0:03:23 > 0:03:27them at all in this vast ocean area is simply astounding.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Look at that! The most amazing views!
0:03:32 > 0:03:36I keep saying it, but look at the size of those dorsal fins.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40Bearing in mind, we're only seeing a tiny proportion of the animal.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43We can see a little bit of the back and some of the head and the
0:03:43 > 0:03:47blowhole, but underneath, certainly those males will be between seven
0:03:47 > 0:03:51and eight metres long and will weigh up to five and a half metric tonnes.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55That's five and a half tonnes of animal you're looking at.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Sometimes called the wolves of the sea,
0:03:57 > 0:04:01these powerful hunters need a lot of food to keep them going.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03And in the waters around Scotland,
0:04:03 > 0:04:06they could be feeding on a multitude of species.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Working as a pack, their diet includes
0:04:09 > 0:04:13everything from porpoises to seal pups, squid and fish.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17Oh, it just doesn't get any better than that.
0:04:17 > 0:04:22There are two males here, a female and a juvenile. All flanking.
0:04:22 > 0:04:27Fantastic! You don't appreciate as well, they're such social animals.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30It may be a top hunter, but it's an animal that lives together,
0:04:30 > 0:04:33cooperates, hunts together.
0:04:36 > 0:04:41What a day! It felt like they were putting on a show just for us.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45Here we go. Watch...beautiful! Look at that!
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Yet, unbeknownst to us, below the surface,
0:04:50 > 0:04:53they were busy living up to their name.
0:04:53 > 0:04:58They're about 15 metres off the front of the boat, here.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05Our skipper, Rob Adams, had spotted something floating in the water.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08They're coming for it. They're coming for it.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Oh, my word!
0:05:14 > 0:05:17I've just seen one of the most remarkable things I've ever
0:05:17 > 0:05:22seen in my life. We just spotted a piece of meat in the water.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25We think it's possibly the remains of a harbour porpoise.
0:05:25 > 0:05:31And then right in front of my eyes, a killer whale just came up and grabbed it.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35That's absolutely astonishing. Did I think I'd see killer whales?
0:05:35 > 0:05:40Maybe not. Did I think I'd see them eating? Not even 0.1% of a chance!
0:05:40 > 0:05:44Absolutely amazing! Unbelievable!
0:05:47 > 0:05:51Oh, that's it! Take me home, can't get any better than that. That is just astonishing.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- Fantastic!- Wasn't it?
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Now, you don't just see whales out at sea round here.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10Back in April, a whale actually joined visitors here in Oban
0:06:10 > 0:06:13and became a tourist attraction in its own right.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Chris Jackson, you were there.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17I certainly was and I had the camera with me as well,
0:06:17 > 0:06:20so I was able to get some of the first images.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23The whale surfaced in front of the youth hostel, just across there.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27And we got a lovely image of its tail as it went under the waves.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29And sure enough, it was a sperm whale.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31I bet you couldn't believe your eyes.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34I didn't know what it was at first. I just knew it was very big.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35How big was it?
0:06:35 > 0:06:39It was about 20 metres long and probably weighed about 30 tonnes.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- Wow!- And what was it doing here?
0:06:42 > 0:06:45- Why was it here?- Well, nobody really knows. It seems to have lost its way.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49It turned left at the Hebrides, instead of right, and whereas it was
0:06:49 > 0:06:52probably on its way to the Azores, it decided to spend the week in Oban.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Do you think it had maybe heard
0:06:54 > 0:06:58- that Oban was the seafood capital of Scotland?- I'm sure it did.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00That was it! That was the reason!
0:07:00 > 0:07:03That was the reason the sperm whale came to Oban!
0:07:03 > 0:07:05How did it feel, though, to see it?
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Normally, when you get a wildlife encounter like that,
0:07:08 > 0:07:12it's uplifting that something from the oceans suddenly shows itself.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14We probably know more about space than
0:07:14 > 0:07:18we know about what's going on in the oceans, so when you get a close encounter with a big
0:07:18 > 0:07:21beastie like that, it really is an amazing experience
0:07:21 > 0:07:24and in the end, it just turned round and swam out to sea.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- So it was a happy ending. - It was a very happy ending indeed.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Well, thank you, Chris, for sharing it with us.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Now, the last few months have been very exciting for 007 fans,
0:07:33 > 0:07:36with Skyfall being the first Bond film ever to
0:07:36 > 0:07:39take £100 million at the UK box office.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42In fact, the producers are preparing the 24th film in the series
0:07:42 > 0:07:45and plan to start shooting some time next year.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49But where would Bond be without that famous theme tune?
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Here's Brandreth, Gyles Brandreth.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58From the moment Dr No hit the big screen, it wasn't
0:07:58 > 0:08:04just 007 who grabbed the world's attention - it was the bold
0:08:04 > 0:08:08and enigmatic tune that accompanied the title sequence.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11I have been expecting you, viewers.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Bond villains may come and go,
0:08:14 > 0:08:19but the James Bond theme tune has endured for 50 years.
0:08:19 > 0:08:26THEY SING ALONG
0:08:26 > 0:08:30Everyone knows the tune, but few know who composed it.
0:08:30 > 0:08:35Monty Norman was a big name in the theatre of the '50s and early '60s.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37His musical about the murderer Dr Crippen was
0:08:37 > 0:08:41backed by Cubby Broccoli, later producer of the Bond films.
0:08:41 > 0:08:46Cubby Broccoli rang me and asked me to come
0:08:46 > 0:08:50to his office to meet his new partner, Harry Saltzman.
0:08:50 > 0:08:55He said, "We've just acquired the rights of Ian Fleming's James Bond novels.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57"We're going to turn them into films.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01"The first one is going to be Dr No. Would you like to do the score?"
0:09:01 > 0:09:04- Did you know the James Bond novels? - No, not really.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07I mean, I'd heard of James Bond, but I'd never read them.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Then Harry Saltzman made him an offer he couldn't refuse.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15He invited Monty and his family to Jamaica where the film was
0:09:15 > 0:09:18being made, hoping to inspire him.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21That was the clincher for me.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25I don't know whether the James Bond film is going to be a flop or
0:09:25 > 0:09:29anything, but at least we'd have a sun, sea and sand holiday.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Monty was inspired and, armed with the script, began to write the score.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36He needed a bold theme to open the film.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40So, tell me, where did the James Bond theme come from?
0:09:40 > 0:09:47It came from a musical that Julian Moore and I were writing,
0:09:47 > 0:09:52called A House For Mr Biswas, based on VS Naipaul's novel.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56Monty's musical, based on the story of an Asian community, featured
0:09:56 > 0:10:00traditional Indian instruments, but it never made the stage.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03So I went to my bottom drawer,
0:10:03 > 0:10:07found this number that I'd always liked
0:10:07 > 0:10:10and played it to myself.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12# I was born
0:10:12 > 0:10:14# With this unlucky sneeze
0:10:14 > 0:10:16# And what is worse
0:10:16 > 0:10:19# I came into the world
0:10:19 > 0:10:21# The wrong way round... #
0:10:21 > 0:10:24So, it had this very Asian quality.
0:10:24 > 0:10:29Well, I get the Indian feel, but where is James Bond in all that?
0:10:29 > 0:10:32I thought, "What would happen if I split the notes?"
0:10:32 > 0:10:34So I went...
0:10:34 > 0:10:37PLAYS JAMES BOND THEME
0:10:40 > 0:10:42And, immediately, the moment I did that,
0:10:42 > 0:10:46I realised that this was what I was looking for.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48And the producers agreed.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51They brought in a new, young talent called John Barry to arrange
0:10:51 > 0:10:56the piece and both the film and this theme tune were a huge hit.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Barry's name went on to become synonymous with 007,
0:10:59 > 0:11:03which led many people to think he had composed the theme tune.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06But Monty's creation had set the tone for Bond.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13BOND: I'd like to send a cable.
0:11:13 > 0:11:14Yes, of course.
0:11:14 > 0:11:19'His sexiness, his mystery, his ruthlessness,
0:11:19 > 0:11:22'it's all there in a few notes.'
0:11:22 > 0:11:25- BOND: Good night. - Good night, Mr Bond.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29'And, obviously, the world agrees.'
0:11:31 > 0:11:32THEY PLAY JAMES BOND THEME
0:11:32 > 0:11:35'And, 50 years on, we want to hear Monty's theme
0:11:35 > 0:11:37'on the traditional Indian instruments that inspired it.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40'International sitar player Jonathan Mayer
0:11:40 > 0:11:44'and fellow musicians perform it in the shadow of MI6.'
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Monty Norman wrote this tune
0:11:47 > 0:11:49and it's conquered the world.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52- How do you feel about that? - I'm very proud of it. Very proud.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02I'm happy that it's 50 years on and I'm happy that I'm still here.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11There you go.
0:12:11 > 0:12:12For your ears only,
0:12:12 > 0:12:15the tune from a composer's bottom drawer
0:12:15 > 0:12:16that's conquered the world.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Evil Genius Gyles Brandreth
0:12:34 > 0:12:37and his suspiciously inanimate cat!
0:12:37 > 0:12:41Now, if they're looking for somebody to play Q in the next Bond film,
0:12:41 > 0:12:44they could do a lot worse than auditioning our next presenter,
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Marty Jopson.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Here he is, armed only with some washing-up liquid.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53This is Nottingham railway station.
0:12:53 > 0:12:58450 trains and 17,000 passengers pass through here every day.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01And, suspended over the tracks, hanging precariously
0:13:01 > 0:13:07above the rush-hour activity, is 1,100 tonnes of steel.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11This is the new Nottingham Express Transit bridge.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14It will be used to extend the city's tram system, creating a new
0:13:14 > 0:13:19route that will take it right over the Grade II listed railway station.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22But, building a bridge in this hazardous position
0:13:22 > 0:13:23would be almost impossible.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27To minimise disruption to the busy station here,
0:13:27 > 0:13:30the 104 metre long bridge was built
0:13:30 > 0:13:34120 metres away in that direction.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38Now engineers face the huge challenge of getting
0:13:38 > 0:13:41the bridge into the right place.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43The journey has taken nine days already
0:13:43 > 0:13:45and it still has 30 metres to go.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48'In charge of the move is Paul Channon.'
0:13:48 > 0:13:51We've had to cross a four-lane road, five platforms,
0:13:51 > 0:13:54seven railway lines and a road on this side.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57That's amazing! And can you shut those?
0:13:57 > 0:13:59No, we're keeping them open through the whole process.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02'With a working station below, it would be too
0:14:02 > 0:14:05'dangerous to lift the bridge into position.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09'So, how do you move a 1,100 tonne bridge?'
0:14:09 > 0:14:13- We're basically sliding it across the station.- That's remarkable!
0:14:13 > 0:14:15'Sliding a bridge is no easy feat.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19'The bridge is sitting on a series of supports,
0:14:19 > 0:14:21'positioned along its length.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24'Overnight, hydraulic rams slowly pull
0:14:24 > 0:14:27'those supports along a steel plate.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29'But, despite the hydraulics,
0:14:29 > 0:14:32'the slide needs extra help dealing with friction.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37'To show what the team have to overcome, I'm going
0:14:37 > 0:14:40'to try my own sliding challenge.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42'Not a bridge, but some bridge builders.'
0:14:42 > 0:14:44The three engineers there
0:14:44 > 0:14:46and the wooden box they're sat on
0:14:46 > 0:14:50weighs about 360 kilograms.
0:14:50 > 0:14:55Gravity is pulling all of them down onto these two steel plates
0:14:55 > 0:14:57and causing lots of friction
0:14:57 > 0:15:00and that is going to stop me from moving.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Not going to happen.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12To get things moving, I'm adding some non-stick Teflon,
0:15:12 > 0:15:18like you'd find on your frying pan at home and a secret engineering marvel.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22I'm going to use the power of washing-up liquid.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26Remarkably, engineers are using everyday household washing-up
0:15:26 > 0:15:30liquid as a lubricant and it's more powerful than you might think.
0:15:30 > 0:15:31Let's give it a go.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Look at that!
0:15:38 > 0:15:40It worked.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44Washing-up liquid can be as effective as industrial lubricants
0:15:44 > 0:15:46but it is easily washed away.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50Rather than the two surfaces sliding against each other,
0:15:50 > 0:15:54non-stick against steel, we've got washing-up liquid
0:15:54 > 0:15:58sliding against washing-up liquid with minimal friction.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01The combination of non-stick and washing-up liquid
0:16:01 > 0:16:07has reduced the amount of force I need to pull the box by over 90%,
0:16:07 > 0:16:10which is why a similar amount of washing-up liquid and a layer
0:16:10 > 0:16:15of Teflon can help with something as big as a 1,100 tonne bridge.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19The sun is setting on Nottingham Station
0:16:19 > 0:16:23and it's time for the bridge to start its journey for the night.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25So, I've been given the job of putting on the washing-up liquid.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27My wife would be proud.
0:16:28 > 0:16:29There you go.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33The bridge is on its way.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Before dawn, it must edge along
0:16:35 > 0:16:38another ten metres of its epic journey.
0:16:38 > 0:16:43This 1,000 tonne plus bridge is moving all down to the non-stick
0:16:43 > 0:16:46coating and the washing-up liquid.
0:16:46 > 0:16:47It's amazing.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52The bridge's careful slide will take 12 days to complete
0:16:52 > 0:16:55and all the while, the people of Nottingham continue
0:16:55 > 0:16:56their own journey down below.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Marty Jopson there with an ingeniously simple solution
0:17:02 > 0:17:05to a complex engineering conundrum.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09Now, long before Horizon's The Secret Life Of The Cat,
0:17:09 > 0:17:11we had The One Show's catnav.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14And our star for this series of films was Dennis,
0:17:14 > 0:17:18a much-loved pet who enjoyed, well, let's say, collecting.
0:17:18 > 0:17:19Collecting.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28This quiet suburb in Luton is experiencing an unusual crime wave.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31One resident is stealing people's stuff
0:17:31 > 0:17:35but this isn't any normal burglar.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37It's a cat burglar.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41Dennis is only a year old but this feline kleptomaniac has been
0:17:41 > 0:17:43up to no good for nearly his entire life.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48He's been bringing unusual items home.
0:17:48 > 0:17:53Items like a towel, a Fred Perry T-shirt, he brought me a sandal
0:17:53 > 0:17:55and a week later, he brought me the other sandal.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57One of his favourites is some underwear.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01- This is a ladies' thong and a chicken fillet. - And he brought that in?
0:18:01 > 0:18:06- He brought that in.- That is a bit strange. It really is different.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08It's unusual and it's nice to wake up
0:18:08 > 0:18:11and wonder what he's brought you home today.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Leslie's box is brimming with Dennis's booty
0:18:14 > 0:18:17and it's high time to reunite these items with their owners.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21This sounds like the perfect mystery for The One Show catnav
0:18:21 > 0:18:27team to solve, so, two weeks ago, we rigged Dennis up with this GPS unit.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33This sends us a signal that can be used to plot all of Dennis's
0:18:33 > 0:18:35movements on a map.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39We also wanted to try and capture some footage of Dennis
0:18:39 > 0:18:42actually getting his paws on some of the stuff,
0:18:42 > 0:18:45so we had this tiny camera attached to his collar.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48This way we'll know whether he's pinching his swag from gardens,
0:18:48 > 0:18:51dustbins or even from inside people's houses.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Finally, there's a CCTV camera keeping an electronic eye
0:18:56 > 0:19:00on all of Dennis's comings and goings through the cat flap.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06We've left Dennis for a week to carry about his thieving business.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09We've now collected all the results together to see
0:19:09 > 0:19:13if we can crack where he's been stealing from, starting with the GPS.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16What you can see is where they're all adding together,
0:19:16 > 0:19:20that clump is given as a clear area there which is about half an acre.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- So that is his territory,. - That's his territory.
0:19:23 > 0:19:29Dennis is an animal that is confusing prey with toys, really
0:19:29 > 0:19:31and going out and catching toys and bringing them back.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35Cats often have trouble killing immediately what they catch,
0:19:35 > 0:19:37so by bringing prey back to their homes,
0:19:37 > 0:19:40they gain the upper hand if the animal escapes.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42They know their territory like the back of their paw,
0:19:42 > 0:19:44unlike their unfortunate quarry.
0:19:47 > 0:19:48And this is telling us
0:19:48 > 0:19:52the possible places that he's more likely to be going than any other.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56We can automatically say these houses in this area are our key
0:19:56 > 0:20:00suspect area of where he may have been taking stuff from.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03We still need to narrow our search but then Dennis gives us the
0:20:03 > 0:20:07crucial evidence we need while the rest of the household is fast asleep.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Blissfully unaware of what Dennis is up to, he returns
0:20:10 > 0:20:15home from one of his night-time raids, brazenly carrying a sock.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Because we know the time from the CCTV camera,
0:20:18 > 0:20:19about three in the morning,
0:20:19 > 0:20:22this is on that day, about three in the morning, where he went.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26The evidence from collar-cam suggests that at least Dennis appears not to
0:20:26 > 0:20:27have been breaking and entering.
0:20:27 > 0:20:32It looks like he's just been nicking stuff from people's back-yards.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35So there's a real chance we'll be able to reunite
0:20:35 > 0:20:38some of the stolen goods in this box with their rightful owners.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41The only way to do that is by knocking on some doors.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Leslie is joining me
0:20:43 > 0:20:47to track down some victims of Dennis's one-cat crime wave.
0:20:47 > 0:20:48Nothing in there.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52'At the first few houses, we draw a blank, but then, success.'
0:20:53 > 0:20:57- Oh, hang on, this looks a bit familiar.- Serious?- Yes.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01No luck finding the owner of the white sock
0:21:01 > 0:21:04but there are a few more houses still to try.
0:21:04 > 0:21:05Oh, you recognise these?
0:21:05 > 0:21:07- Yes, they're my mums. - They're yours?
0:21:07 > 0:21:10They are mine, yes, I've been looking for those.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Didn't you notice they'd gone missing?
0:21:12 > 0:21:15No, they were outside the back door. I didn't notice they'd gone.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16Case closed.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Two sandals pilfered a week apart and at the scene of the crime,
0:21:19 > 0:21:23we see just how far Dennis had to drag his swag.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26He's going to have to go across three, four fences,
0:21:26 > 0:21:28at least three gardens, on a wall,
0:21:28 > 0:21:32down the side of the garage to get to my house.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34The One Show catnav has banged Dennis the menace to rights
0:21:34 > 0:21:38and returned some of the stolen goods back into the right hands.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42But if you have any cats that have escaped the long arm of the claw
0:21:42 > 0:21:44or any other feline mysteries, do get in touch.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Now, if you've ever been to Glasgow Station and looked upwards,
0:21:52 > 0:21:55you may have noticed a rather distinctive clock.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57To many, it is just a means of telling the time,
0:21:57 > 0:22:00but to others, it runs far deeper than that.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07Whenever somebody says Central Station, I automatically just
0:22:07 > 0:22:10think, "Oh, my goodness, the clock."
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Just historic and it's iconic.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15The clock now, every time I walk past it,
0:22:15 > 0:22:18I always get goose bumps and I always get butterflies.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23I knew Marco since I was 16 and he was my best friend at the time.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26One night, I was saying bye to him and it was under the clock.
0:22:26 > 0:22:31I just went, I'm so in love with this guy, I can't deny it any more.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35It was the clock that just kind of made time stand still
0:22:35 > 0:22:39and just made me realise that I was absolutely infatuated with the boy.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43I saw him walk down from the train
0:22:43 > 0:22:47and my heart absolutely stopped beating. I couldn't believe it.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50It was such a magical moment and it sounds really cheesy
0:22:50 > 0:22:55and romantic to say that, but it was just the whole world stopped.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57I think that clock has powers.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59To be back here with Cat, yes,
0:22:59 > 0:23:02it does bring back a lot of happy memories.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04I think our relationship was mainly a happy one.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07And we had a lot of our happiest moments under this clock.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Unfortunately, it didn't work out,
0:23:09 > 0:23:12but we're still really, really good friends.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18When you think of Central Station, the clock is central to that.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22I remember what I was doing there, I remember how I felt,
0:23:22 > 0:23:26I remember the thoughts going through my mind.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30My son was being deployed to Iraq. He's in the Armed Forces.
0:23:30 > 0:23:36We were at Central Station to say goodbye. I was feeling nervous.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38I was bawling my eyes out.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41What mother wouldn't be when their son is going
0:23:41 > 0:23:43into a conflict situation?
0:23:43 > 0:23:45I remember there being tears
0:23:45 > 0:23:48and I remember getting a lot of cuddles, a lot of hugs.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50But there came a point when I had to say,
0:23:50 > 0:23:52"I need to go, Mum, I need to go."
0:23:54 > 0:23:57When you see your only son, your only child walking away
0:23:57 > 0:24:01from you with no guarantees that you'll ever, ever see him again,
0:24:01 > 0:24:05I would defy any mother to hold it together at that point.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08You want that clock to stand still.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10You don't want the hands to move because every minute,
0:24:10 > 0:24:13every time that that hand moves, it is bringing you closer
0:24:13 > 0:24:15to the point where you have to let them go.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Quite a few years ago,
0:24:21 > 0:24:24I used to work in a retail unit just further up in the station here.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28I had been in the station working for 19 years.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30When he used to pop in and out of the shop,
0:24:30 > 0:24:33he would say he was doing security checks.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37Delivery days, he'd knock on the back door.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41I think I was becoming a bit of a pain in the backside.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Eventually, I had the courage to ask Margret out.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48Thankfully, she said yes and the first day, we met under the clock.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50When I would come down, I could see him standing here
0:24:50 > 0:24:53and I thought, "Oh, my God, he looks so nervous."
0:24:53 > 0:24:55The sweats would start coming, the shakes would start coming.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57As soon as we got under, I thought, that was it.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00It was like as if we had did this before.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04I think it was a wee peck on the cheek, a wee cuddle,
0:25:04 > 0:25:07we went on our way and never looked back since.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11Drew and I have been married now 15 years. We've got two children.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14The clock just symbolises an awful lot.
0:25:14 > 0:25:19It means an awful lot to Drew and I. It is part of our relationship.
0:25:19 > 0:25:20It all started under the clock.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Now, Queen Victoria said she thought Oban
0:25:26 > 0:25:30was one of the finest spots she'd ever seen and I agree with her.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32- We've had a great time, haven't we?- Yes, we have.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Unfortunately, it's coming to a close.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Yep, we're going to leave you with The One Show spectacular
0:25:37 > 0:25:39farewell to Television Centre in London.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43Here is Matt Baker and 600 other dancers with a tribute to
0:25:43 > 0:25:48Roy Castle's 1977 tap dancing world record.
0:25:48 > 0:25:49Bye.
0:25:55 > 0:26:01MUSIC PLAYS
0:26:20 > 0:26:25- Hello.- Hello.- What's your name? - Julie.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29Pardon me for asking, but, back in 1977, as a 12-year-old,
0:26:29 > 0:26:31were you up here on this wall with Roy Castle
0:26:31 > 0:26:34- doing exactly the same thing? - Yes, I was.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Well, just for old time's sake, you don't fancy re-enacting that, do you?
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Oh, all right then.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44- But where are all the other dancers? - Right here.
