Hello and welcome to The One Show with Alex Jones. | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
Tonight we're celebrating all things Poldark and our guests play two | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
One is the rotter who's done everything he can | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
to ruin Ross Poldark, even getting him arrested. | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
It's banker George Warleggan himself - Jack Farthing! | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
Demelza, the passionate she-cat who'd do anything | :00:33. | :00:42. | |
Welcome back at welcome Jack for the first time. You are, of course, | :00:43. | :01:04. | |
enemies in the programme. Are you all right now? To sit beside each | :01:05. | :01:11. | |
other? Yes. Speak for yourself! This series will be a success because you | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
are about to start the third series already? We start filming next week. | :01:16. | :01:22. | |
It has been a long time since we finished two until it came on. Two | :01:23. | :01:29. | |
more series of the list acting from you? I was going to watch this | :01:30. | :01:36. | |
before the show but that would spoil my Saturday -- Sunday night! | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
A survey has found that almost one parent in five regrets the name | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
So tonight we want to hear from people who have unusual names | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
And if there are any Demelzas or Warleggans watching, | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
Email us a picture of yourself to the usual address and we'll show | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
There is actually a girl called Fire Exit! Her parents moved to Wales and | :01:55. | :02:09. | |
they saw the sign, which meant fire exit, so they called her Fire Exit, | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
she is about 13! Poor kid! First, Bill, a question? | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
Would you pay for someone to come into your house to change a light | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
bulb in your bedside lamp? And ordinary one? Why would I do | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
that? So why do we pay for someone to do | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
it when a bulb goes in our car? Dom wants to encourage us | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
to do it ourselves. I'm not so sure, so let's see | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
if he can persuade us. There are 36 million vehicles on | :02:38. | :02:47. | |
Britain's roads. That is a lot of lights. | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
Did you know that broke a malfunctioning lights are the number | :02:55. | :03:02. | |
one reason for MOT failure is? Let's be honest, who can tell their | :03:03. | :03:11. | |
halogen from their incandescent, LED from HID? And many of us are | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
clueless when it comes to changing them also. How do you describe this? | :03:16. | :03:23. | |
Tricky! Ever had a go? No. How do you know? They don't make it look | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
easy! They want your money! I feel and mission. What is made out of? | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
Gold? I am calling dealerships and garages for quotes to change the | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
bulbs on the most popular cars in the UK. Thank you. That was | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
interesting, I have been quoted prices from nothing to ?80 if the | :03:44. | :03:50. | |
job will take more than one hour. And after doing some killing of his | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
own, consumer expert Joe Finnerty from Auto Express thinks some car | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
owners are paying over the odds. We contacted 150 dealerships to get a | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
flavour of how much it would cost and in some cases it was the same as | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
a solicitor for one hour, which is too high. Getting that into there | :04:10. | :04:17. | |
can be tricky on some models and in some cases you might have to jack | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
the car or removes some of the front end. But on many cars, changing the | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
bulb should be a doddle. Even if you're only vaguely practical. So I | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
am putting the good people of Bristol to the test and asking some | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
willing volunteers to change the bulb on the most popular car in the | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
UK. The Ford Fiesta. And the winner will get to take this home... The | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
One Show headlight challenge Trophy. Priceless! To show us how, top | :04:48. | :04:57. | |
mechanic Bradley. How hard is it for a member of the public to change the | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
bulb? Not bad in this car, some are difficult but if you do the research | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
and get stuck in you should be all right. You're the first to change | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
this light bulb. Can I time you? No problem. This is halogen so people | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
should know this is not touch the glass is otherwise it burns out | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
quicker. First bit of advice. Get set, go! | :05:22. | :05:30. | |
One minute, 16. Well done! But he is an expert. Let us see how the | :05:31. | :05:40. | |
contestants do. Go! Right, you have it out. But, stop the clock. | :05:41. | :05:48. | |
Confident you can't beat that? My money is on you. Straight in, | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
quicker than you. I cannot do that! Struggling? She needs help. Read the | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
time. Three minutes and three seconds. My son is a mechanic but I | :06:01. | :06:08. | |
haven't a clue. OK, where is the catch? Pull off that connector. She | :06:09. | :06:17. | |
almost has done it! I think it is done. Three minutes, 47. Check that | :06:18. | :06:25. | |
it works. Bingo! Get behind, yes, definitely. They have all needed | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
help but they are doing OK, no failures? And if you left them to | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
that longer, they would probably figure that out themselves. And you | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
are of! He struggling getting the bonnet up. Three, 12. That trophy is | :06:40. | :06:50. | |
a one-off! We made that in the office! But who will take it home? | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
And the winner of the headlight challenge, with three minutes and | :06:57. | :07:03. | |
three seconds, is Kelsey! Give us a big one WOO! | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
But I'm not going to be convinced until I've actually done it myself. | :07:10. | :07:19. | |
I am channelling Charlene from neighbours in 1987. | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
So Dom, you gave me a quick briefing before the show, | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
You have not had a go yet. I know the bulb is in there. Pull that off. | :07:27. | :07:40. | |
That is just the rubber grip. How much do light bulbs actually cost? | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
If you went to the cheap High Streets where it can be ?1 but you | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
can get better quality, up to around ?15. We need to feel underneath, | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
there is little plastic catch. And there is a little lug underneath and | :07:54. | :08:01. | |
that will pop out. There? Put your fingers in and feel the lug. Quite | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
straightforward. I cannot even see the lug. What is a lug? I will tell | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
you what... It is the satisfaction, isn't it, of doing this yourself? | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
Here we are! That will pop-out! , on! Got it. Pull that out. In theory | :08:20. | :08:27. | |
you should not touch that because fat from your fingers and Greece can | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
heat up and that can blow up so put that in without touching the glass. | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
How do you know if your car is one of those that can actually be | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
changed easily? There is a rule of thumb, if you have a small to medium | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
engine and a small to medium car there is a good chance you can do | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
that yourself. Where does this go? There is this little slot, and that | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
is where this has to go. Just in... So... OK, that will go into that | :08:55. | :09:05. | |
bit. It is a bit fidgety. It is! There are two lugs which have to | :09:06. | :09:12. | |
line up with plastic bits and you will win another one of those from | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
the office! Lots of you have been having a go and say it is really | :09:16. | :09:23. | |
tough. It faces that way. OK. Hang on a second. I see! Right, I see. | :09:24. | :09:31. | |
The bulbs are cheap but the garages that could this work on a normal car | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
like this, they can vary between ?20 and some of them nearly ?80, that is | :09:38. | :09:45. | |
more than a boiler. These wiper blades, look at how quickly they can | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
come off. Getting the new one is as simple as that. We're not saying, | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
don't go to the garage, but changing the bulb or the wiper blades... And | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
changing my coolant. Get the garage to do that! Can we see? Is that | :10:01. | :10:08. | |
working? Tell you what! APPLAUSE | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
Anybody else need their bulbs changed? Actually, my MoD needs | :10:14. | :10:21. | |
doing, can use without I'd? No problem, I'm free tomorrow morning! | :10:22. | :10:23. | |
That is a very good look! Last night we saw Andy | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
begin his epic journey kayaking all the way from Liverpool | :10:27. | :10:28. | |
in the West to Goole in the East. So let's rejoin him just | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
outside Burnley, where he's about to encounter a canal | :10:33. | :10:34. | |
suspended in mid-air. I am kayaking along what will become | :10:35. | :10:47. | |
the first long-distance canoe trail in England, a 160 macro need linking | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
the west and east coast. It should take me one week and so far I have | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
paddled about 60 miles in just under four days. I'm heading towards the | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
Lancashire town of Burnley, crossing an ingenious piece of engineering. | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
Normally, you would build the road over watcher but not here. The canal | :11:07. | :11:13. | |
goes over the top of the end 65. In 1980, the engineers building the | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
motorway decided to leave the canal will at once. And they removed | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
hundreds of tonnes of earth beneath that to construct the road. I am | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
part of the overhead of the busy commuters and it is quite satisfying | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
to think that I am happy enjoying this canal, taking the slow road, | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
and is down there, are rushing. Alongside modern construction there | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
is plenty of evidence of the role of the canal in the success of the | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
industrial revolution. None more so than in an area of Burnley called | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
the weaver's triangle, with the canal serve the old cotton mills. | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
Ryan Hall is a local historian. How important was the canal? Well, it is | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
doubtful whether the time would have grown to the extent it did without | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
it. It is reckoned that by the end of the 19th century Burnley was | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
weaving a greater length of cotton than any time in the world. In 1801 | :12:11. | :12:17. | |
it was a tiny place with a population of about 5000. By the | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
beginning of the 20th century it was 100,000. Far more than it is today. | :12:23. | :12:30. | |
I thought that since the First World War, cotton manufacturing have | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
declined but with competition from Road haulage, commercial traffic all | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
but stopped on the canals as nowadays the waterways are used for | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
much more leisurely pursuits. But with every paddle strokes, there is | :12:42. | :12:49. | |
a new story to be told. This is the Dell Bridge Tunnel, a major feat of | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
engineering in its time, one mile long, the surrounding bedrock is | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
difficult to carve through, it took six years to build but today is the | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
story of a cow called Buttercup which it is better known for. | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
According to the story, she fell into the canal and rather than | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
climbing out, she slammed the entire mile through the tunnel. I can see | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
why Buttercup would have come through here. Quite peaceful! Other, | :13:15. | :13:22. | |
there are some cracks with the water seeping through and it rains on your | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
head. These are shafts, rising up above you, it is a virtual | :13:28. | :13:34. | |
waterfall. Coming out exhausted, Buttercup was revived with brandy | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
from drinkers at the nearby pub. Unfortunately, the pub has since | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
been demolished so there will be no brandy for me. Just more paddling. | :13:44. | :13:50. | |
To keep me going, I met by local enthusiast. Hello. Dave spiky is not | :13:51. | :13:58. | |
only a successful comedian, well-known for starring in Phoenix | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
nights with Peter Kay, but he is obsessed with canals. Where does | :14:03. | :14:09. | |
your passion spring from? From my life, my family always sailed the | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
canals in the 1950s, they were pioneers in keeping them open, when | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
the railways came and trade fell. They say it is the fastest way of | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
slowing down. It is an antidote to this hectic life, it is a real | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
bonding experience because with leisure, and you are with the | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
family, you get organised into doing the locks and the swing bridges, | :14:31. | :14:38. | |
that is a swing bridge. Yes, it is like teamwork and you have achieved | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
something as well as relaxing. It has everything. It is easy to see | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
why Dave loves these canals in this part of the world. So, I started | :14:47. | :14:53. | |
today a little bit tired and tired from paddling in the hot sun has | :14:54. | :15:01. | |
done little to change that. However, my next stop represents the 100 mile | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
of the journey. So, for tonight, at least, that will do! | :15:06. | :15:12. | |
You can see the last part of his journey tomorrow. | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
Will you be watching? Absolutely. | :15:18. | :15:19. | |
It's Poldark time, so before we get stuck in, just in case | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
you missed the last series, we thought we'd give you little | :15:23. | :15:24. | |
Leon over there has created a bit of a stir online with his brilliant | :15:25. | :15:30. | |
reconstructions of series 1 made out of Playmobil. | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
For example, here's Poldark scything. | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
With a spade. LAUGHTER | :15:38. | :15:48. | |
Poldark returns to find his father has died, his inheritance | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
is ruined and his sweetheart, Elizabeth, engaged to his cousin. | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
Poldark rescues an impoverished young woman called Demelza | :15:57. | :15:58. | |
Time goes by and Poldark does a bit of skinny dipping, | :15:59. | :16:04. | |
They get married, have a baby and everything is looking pretty good. | :16:05. | :16:12. | |
There is much skulduggery and Ross is arrested. | :16:13. | :16:20. | |
We were left on a bit of a cliff-hanger, so what's | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
Well, Leon is here with a couple of clues. | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
Oh! It's the classic. Demelza standing on the cliff alone. Looking | :16:28. | :16:42. | |
out to sea. Eleanor Pilgrim what was Demelza's state of mind? I am | :16:43. | :16:52. | |
recreating the owner from Shrek, from the looks of it. -- Fiona from | :16:53. | :17:12. | |
Shrek. Bit of a change of scene. -- Eleanor, what was Demelza's state of | :17:13. | :17:27. | |
mind. What do you do? It is acting, isn't it? The Scripps keeps a | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
straight face for me. -- the scripts. They are long-awaited. We | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
don't have many of them. When we get to sit across the table and talk to | :17:39. | :17:40. | |
each other it is good fun. Well, let's have a look at a real | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
clip from the new episode where Elizabeth, Poldark's ex, | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
tries to persuade him to accept help George might know the judge who will | :17:49. | :17:59. | |
hear in your case. How convenient. And thought perhaps he could be... | :18:00. | :18:05. | |
Pointed in the right direction. For a price, no doubt. Not one you would | :18:06. | :18:15. | |
personally need to pay. But you will see that I would. | :18:16. | :18:17. | |
APPLAUSE You said you and Aidan hadn't had | :18:18. | :18:29. | |
many scenes together, but the pair of you hadn't until the second | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
series. We did not have one in the first series. It is all about to | :18:33. | :18:38. | |
kick off. We finally have a phew. We are not nice to each other. I'm so | :18:39. | :18:45. | |
nervous working with Jack because he keeps me on my toes. -- a few. We do | :18:46. | :18:52. | |
not want that any spoilers out, so many people looking forward to | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
Sunday night. But we've been reading some interviews with you leading up | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
to it. Really interesting, I always thought you had auburn hair, but you | :19:00. | :19:06. | |
decided you thought Demelza should have red hair, didn't you? I did. | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
I'm not sure why. I thought it would add to her feistiness and fiery | :19:13. | :19:19. | |
temper. Are you blonde? Yes. I can't imagine you with blonde hair. It | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
looks fabulous. You expect Eleanor 's had to take a | :19:24. | :19:33. | |
long time, but yours takes longer, doesn't it? It is a significant | :19:34. | :19:43. | |
hairstyle. Rollers, hairspray and tongs like you wouldn't imagine. We | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
heard there was a mishap between you and Aidan, what happened? We were | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
filming a scene where he rescues me from a boat. It was a pretty choppy | :19:53. | :20:00. | |
day to say the least. Being the hero Ross Poldark is he managed to just | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
drop me in the water. No. Not what you expect from the hero. The boat | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
crashed into him, bless him, and I got dumped. That is one scene we | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
thought Leon would not be able to recreate, or would you? | :20:16. | :20:18. | |
APPLAUSE Poldark returns on Sunday | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
at 9pm on BBC One. For many people the end | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
of the summer is marked by swallows sitting on telephone wires | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
as they get ready for So for one more good | :20:33. | :20:34. | |
look at them nesting There has been an incredibly | :20:35. | :20:45. | |
exciting bird sighting. As you know with our feathered friends you have | :20:46. | :20:48. | |
got to be quick to the scene or risk them flying off. We're off to the | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
Somerset levels. According to my sources... What's the matter? No! | :20:54. | :21:03. | |
Not now! There has got to be a garage somewhere nearby. Come on, | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
put your back into it, this bird is going to be gone. What do you | :21:09. | :21:15. | |
reckon, Andrew? I don't think that looks very healthy at all. I can't | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
believe it, we were off to see this amazing bird sighting. If it is bird | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
you are after you've come to the right place. It just so happens that | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
every spring this garage in Somerset has some rather unusual visitors. | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
Swallows have been returning here to nest for close to 30 years. Andrew | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
Ratcliffe's the owner. I have to say, I'm totally blown away. The | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
swallows, they are everywhere. We are very proud of them. It is lovely | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
to see them. How many pairs do you have in here? I would say 12 to 15, | :21:51. | :21:56. | |
possibly more. I have never seen them in such density in one place. | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
Swallows travel 6000 miles from South Africa to breed in Britain. | :22:02. | :22:08. | |
They average about five eggs per bird and can breed twice a season, | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
which means lots of birds flying through the garage. Andrew has come | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
up with ingenious way to keep place clean -- with an ingenious way. It | :22:18. | :22:23. | |
is like Damien Hirst has had a hand in your roof design. The umbrella | :22:24. | :22:30. | |
are there to collect the droppings. But I also collect the youngsters if | :22:31. | :22:33. | |
they fall out of the nest. We had to put them back up into the nest | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
before. When they make the leap of faith too early, and they have a | :22:39. | :22:44. | |
safety net. Do you have to spend a fortune on umbrellas? No, customers | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
donate them. They are proud of them. A busy noisy garage may seem an | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
unusual place for a nesting site, but it does not appear to bother the | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
swallows. The cars go up on the ramps, they get close to wherever | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
they are. They will sit above and watch while you are doing things. | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
All of the noise, the activity, it doesn't bother them because that is | :23:05. | :23:07. | |
what they are used to. And the fact you are here, you are protecting | :23:08. | :23:10. | |
them from predators. You are their guardian angel. Yeah, we loved it. | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
We have a grandstand view of the adults feeding the newly born | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
chicks. -- love. It looks like we have timed our visit perfectly. If | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
you look up you will see a newly fledged young just coming out of the | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
nest. Cleaning themselves. They are washed out versions of the adults. | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
Being fed. I cannot believe we are here for the very first day the | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
youngsters have hopped out of the nest. Once fledged the birds will | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
spend the rest of the summer flying over Somerset before starting their | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
six-week migration to South Africa in the autumn. It's marvellous. For | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
a little bird that is 25, 20 six grams. One moment over the Somerset | :23:55. | :24:01. | |
skies, the next moment catching flies between elephants' legs. It's | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
that amazing. Over the past 40 years there's been a widespread decline of | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
swallows across Europe, so places like this garage are extremely | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
important in providing the birds with a safe haven to breed. They are | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
also good for my car. Thanks, Andrew. When it comes to wildlife | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
watching on a garage wouldn't normally be anywhere near the top of | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
my list. It just goes to show, give them bed, breakfast, plus Andrew's | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
protective hand, and you have just got a surprising wildlife story, you | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
have a thriving colony. -- and you have not just got. | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
That was magnificent. Earlier we asked you if you had an unusual name | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
you are proud of. We have had a huge response. | :24:51. | :24:57. | |
Let's start with Senga, named after her aunt, Agnes, backwards. | :24:58. | :25:06. | |
This is low-key, the Norse god of mischief, living up to his name. -- | :25:07. | :25:13. | |
Loki. This is Demelza with her daughter Demelza. Two for the price | :25:14. | :25:21. | |
of one. Very sweet. Now, a man who said he could resist anything but | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
temptation. Oscar Wilde. | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
This weakens sees red in jail, where he was locked up, opened for the | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
very first time. -- this weekend sees Reading jail. | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
It is always midnight in one's heart. Back in 1897 Oscar Wilde | :25:40. | :25:48. | |
wrote one of his last great works in Reading. It was an epic 50,000 word | :25:49. | :25:57. | |
letter to his lover, Lord Alfred Douglas, but the inspiration came | :25:58. | :26:04. | |
not from these leafy streets for a -- but from inside there, Reading | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
jail. He was imprisoned hitherto Macri years after being convicted of | :26:10. | :26:12. | |
gross indecency when details of his relationships with men came to | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
light. But now the Victorian wing of the prison where he was incarcerated | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
is going to be open to the public for the first time in its 170 year | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
history. For an art installation that will celebrate Oscar Wilde's | :26:29. | :26:29. | |
life inside. One of the major exhibits includes | :26:30. | :26:50. | |
the door to sell 333, which was Oscar Wilde's prison number. Some | :26:51. | :26:57. | |
people will read his works in entirety. Max peak, Patti Smith | :26:58. | :27:04. | |
there are nine wings with different exhibits. | :27:05. | :27:15. | |
Here it is, Oscar Wilde's prison cell. Quite hard to imagine what it | :27:16. | :27:21. | |
must have been like back then. It would have been quite different. | :27:22. | :27:25. | |
There would not be this sink. It probably would have been quite cold, | :27:26. | :27:32. | |
quite damp, certainly low-key. And to tell how bleakest in prison and | :27:33. | :27:38. | |
have been if archivist Mark. He would have had a plank bed. It would | :27:39. | :27:42. | |
have had a thin mattress on top of it. He would have had a bowl which | :27:43. | :27:46. | |
he would have been obliged to slop out three times a day. 22 hours out | :27:47. | :27:55. | |
of 24 every day, prisoners were on their on in their prison cell. The | :27:56. | :28:00. | |
idea is that you give the prisoners time to reflect on the evils of | :28:01. | :28:04. | |
their way. And that was Victorian salvation. From the beginning of | :28:05. | :28:10. | |
1897 he started to write his monumental work, De Profundus. He | :28:11. | :28:19. | |
was allowed one sheet of paper per day and at the end of the day it was | :28:20. | :28:25. | |
collected from him. A day in prison on which one does more week, is a | :28:26. | :28:35. | |
day on which one heart's is dark, not a day on which one's heart is | :28:36. | :28:45. | |
happy. -- one's heart is dark. He had health issues and he never | :28:46. | :28:48. | |
recovered. When he left he travelled to France. He lived destitute and | :28:49. | :28:57. | |
died of meningitis. Suffering is one long moment, we cannot divide it by | :28:58. | :29:02. | |
seasons, we can only record its moods and chronicle their return. | :29:03. | :29:10. | |
Thanks very much to Eleanor and Jack. | :29:11. | :29:11. | |
