:00:18. > :00:27.Hello And Welcome To The One Show With Matt Baker. And Alex Jones, ,
:00:27. > :00:33.and a man who has been called one of the 50 funniest Brits of all time.
:00:33. > :00:37.To top it all off, he was also voted one of the greatest wits of all
:00:37. > :00:44.time. It is just a pity we have not got his wife here, because according
:00:44. > :00:52.to him, she is 12% funnier. She is! It is Paul Merton! My wife is 12%
:00:52. > :00:57.funnier than me. So we have booked the wrong guest! Absolutely! She
:00:57. > :01:02.would look better in this shirt than I do. She is one of those women who
:01:02. > :01:12.looks great in any sort of hat, she looks fantastic, what do you think?
:01:13. > :01:20.I am a bit pea head. We will not go there! Boris Johnson has been in the
:01:20. > :01:24.news today, is it right... I am just wondering, this is amazing, is it
:01:24. > :01:28.right that he came to you for political advice when he was running
:01:28. > :01:33.for mayor? That is sort of what it was. He had just been nominated as a
:01:33. > :01:38.candidate to run for mayor, and I saw him at a cricket match, and he
:01:39. > :01:43.said, what policies should I have? And I said, well, you know, I
:01:43. > :01:50.shouldn't be too controversial. He was pretending he didn't have any
:01:51. > :01:53.policies, when he comes out of make-up on Have I Got News For You,
:01:53. > :01:57.his hair is perfect. 20 seconds later, it is like that. He has got a
:01:57. > :02:02.make-up woman chasing him around the building. A man who lies to you
:02:02. > :02:05.about the state of his heir, well, you know! You will be doing you a
:02:05. > :02:09.shortly, because you are onto all you know! You will be doing you a
:02:09. > :02:14.around the country. We will talk about that. I will be here whether
:02:14. > :02:20.you want to speak to me not! I am booked for an hour! I cannot be much
:02:20. > :02:27.longer because I have to lock up at 735 BM. Use its tight, and before
:02:27. > :02:30.that you may have been affected by the 2500 school closures across
:02:30. > :02:35.England today. Some teachers are striking for a number of reasons,
:02:35. > :02:38.including plans to make their pay relatively performance. This is what
:02:38. > :02:43.was happening in Sheffield earlier this afternoon, and further south
:02:43. > :02:50.Tony Livesey has been to an academy in east London to see how Michael
:02:50. > :02:55.Gove's plan could work in practice. The Government wants to reward
:02:55. > :02:58.teachers for being good at their jobs, rather than how long they
:02:58. > :03:02.teachers for being good at their been doing them. Currently full-time
:03:02. > :03:06.classroom teachers automatically go up a pay grade until they crossed a
:03:06. > :03:11.threshold and can earn more money based on performance. Well, not any
:03:11. > :03:14.more. From this month, the Government is planning for all
:03:14. > :03:18.teachers' pay from the day they start to be linked to performance in
:03:18. > :03:23.the classroom and not based on their teaching experience. And not only
:03:23. > :03:29.will schools decide what skills they pay for, head teachers will decide
:03:29. > :03:33.who gets what. Amanda Phillips is the head of this academy in east
:03:33. > :03:38.London. She says it will keep teaching standards high. In reality,
:03:38. > :03:44.you have pitted teacher against each. No, teachers already know from
:03:44. > :03:49.their own experience of going into each other's classrooms who are the
:03:49. > :03:53.most effective teachers in terms of making an impact on pupils. They are
:03:53. > :03:57.not pitted against each other, they are working collaboratively to make
:03:57. > :04:01.sure that in every classroom the pupils get the very best deal. What
:04:01. > :04:07.proportion of poor staff have you rooted out? In both of our schools,
:04:07. > :04:10.which was some of the worst in the country, 20% of members of staff,
:04:10. > :04:14.which was some of the worst in the not just teaching staff, needed to
:04:14. > :04:19.leave the environment. Everyone has to earn a crust, but should teachers
:04:19. > :04:24.be motivated by money? Isn't the classroom a place for learning,
:04:24. > :04:28.rather than Ning? I have booked some time with staff here to see if money
:04:28. > :04:34.matters. If I was to say, hands up who was on the most money... Between
:04:34. > :04:41.us two quest me it is you. I think so. You have said you accept that
:04:41. > :04:45.because of her experience. Down the line, though, that will not
:04:45. > :04:51.necessarily be the case. One day you hope to put your hand up and say I
:04:51. > :04:55.earn more. If I knew that she had managed to move two levels and I had
:04:55. > :04:58.only gone one, I might say, would you let me know how I can move to
:04:58. > :05:04.only gone one, I might say, would that level? The reward of education
:05:04. > :05:09.is no longer enough. I find that rather audacious, to be asked that
:05:09. > :05:14.question, because I cannot see why professionals work as hard and
:05:14. > :05:17.skilfully as teachers do, just like doctors or lawyers, shouldn't be
:05:17. > :05:24.rewarded highly enough as any other profession. You are happy to see her
:05:24. > :05:27.overtake you. Yes, if someone else is doing more work than me, even
:05:27. > :05:34.though they are younger or have been teaching for less there -- less
:05:34. > :05:39.years than me, it is only fair. Ron Gordon was a teacher for 20 years,
:05:39. > :05:44.and his first season mortem automatic pay rises, but after that
:05:44. > :05:50.it became all about his performance. -- his first six years brought him.
:05:50. > :05:54.I think it is a very divisive way of measuring performance. In 2005, I
:05:54. > :05:58.did not make a pay progression, and is made me feel very angry indeed
:05:58. > :06:05.and very frustrated. You feel that you have got to keep on the head's
:06:05. > :06:09.good side to get the pay rise. So in the pro-Corner, Amanda and the staff
:06:09. > :06:14.at the academy. In the other corner, the teaching unions, and
:06:14. > :06:21.here comes Chris Keates, the general secretary of the NASUWT, to take a
:06:21. > :06:24.mandate to task. You could have four teachers who have all had
:06:24. > :06:28.performance management objectives set, all had an expectation that
:06:28. > :06:32.they will progress, and then at the end of the year, what happens is a
:06:32. > :06:37.decision is made by the governing body, by the head teacher that says,
:06:37. > :06:41.actually, one is going to increase their salary, but the other three
:06:41. > :06:45.are not. I do not understand why you believe that head teachers would be
:06:45. > :06:49.able in that way. We have got examples of where they have done. I
:06:49. > :06:54.hope you are holding them to account. Indeed, we will, but we
:06:54. > :06:58.should not be having to police the system. They should be a system that
:06:58. > :07:02.does not allow that kind of unfairness and lack of transparency
:07:02. > :07:06.and potentially discriminatory action to take place. Do you feel
:07:06. > :07:10.you have more power? It is not about power, it is about taking even more
:07:10. > :07:13.responsibility. I don't think you should be just rewarded for coming
:07:13. > :07:16.responsibility. I don't think you to school, you needed to be rewarded
:07:16. > :07:20.for the impact that you have on pupils' outcomes and your other
:07:20. > :07:25.responsibilities towards the improvement of the school.
:07:25. > :07:29.Performance related pay is divisive, let's face it, unions and head
:07:29. > :07:31.teachers very rarely see eye to eye. One thing they are all certain about
:07:31. > :07:38.is that kids must come first. One thing they are all certain about
:07:38. > :07:41.What a film that is! From the perspective of parents, you think it
:07:41. > :07:50.is a good idea, but you start thinking at what cost? What do you
:07:50. > :07:54.think? Well, teachers, they should be highly paid individuals, it is an
:07:54. > :07:58.incredibly difficult job, and if any of us are lucky to remember
:07:58. > :08:03.inspirational teachers at school, I had one when I was eight or nine
:08:03. > :08:07.years old, she was so encouraging. When another adult outside the home
:08:07. > :08:12.says, this is good, you can do this, it really is empowering. I
:08:12. > :08:16.think it is such an essential job and a shame that it is so badly
:08:16. > :08:21.paid. These things are a vocation, so people want to be teachers beyond
:08:21. > :08:26.all else, and so sometimes when pay demands are made, they are taken
:08:26. > :08:34.advantage of. I am sure we will get loads of e-mails about that. OK, so
:08:34. > :08:40.your tour, then, improvisation jams. That has caused a bit of
:08:40. > :08:47.discretion, because I thought it was improv. That is the American
:08:47. > :08:53.version, we call it impro. If you shorten the words to its most
:08:53. > :08:57.understandable in previous, impro is for me, and I have always liked to
:08:57. > :09:04.be slightly contrary. Everyone else calls its improv, I call it impro.
:09:04. > :09:08.It is billed as this, the cast will be using their finally hold
:09:08. > :09:17.improvisational... I can't even say it! And almost manic compulsion to
:09:17. > :09:21.show off. Yes! I do not have you down as a show. If you put your name
:09:21. > :09:26.on the title of a show, by definition you are a show of. I am
:09:26. > :09:30.not like... Hopefully I do not come across like that all the time. When
:09:30. > :09:33.we were chatting about this earlier, you can be quite a shy individual
:09:33. > :09:37.but still wants to be a performer because you are not talking to 500
:09:37. > :09:41.individuals, it is a large mass of people. The lights are on you, the
:09:41. > :09:46.sound is on you, you have friends with you, so it is very empowering,
:09:46. > :09:52.and you are bolder and more imaginative onstage than offstage
:09:52. > :09:57.sometimes. And you empower the audience, the content is driven by
:09:57. > :10:04.them. We ask them for suggestions, film suggestions, household objects.
:10:04. > :10:05.Can you explain this? I can, it depends how deep your
:10:05. > :10:11.misunderstanding is! This was depends how deep your
:10:11. > :10:16.originally used as one of the first mobile phone masts in the early
:10:16. > :10:20.1900... If we ask for a household objects, which we do at the comedy
:10:20. > :10:25.store, where we have done the store for 30 years, inevitably somebody
:10:25. > :10:28.will shout out toilet brush. Once every two weeks, somebody will say
:10:28. > :10:35.toilet brush. I don't know why, I never found it amusing, but if
:10:35. > :10:40.anybody can come up with a sitcom called Toilet Brush, it will be a
:10:40. > :10:45.winner. You are going on natural talent and instinct, but is this
:10:45. > :10:47.something you can learn? We all improvise naturally when we talk, it
:10:47. > :10:50.something you can learn? We all is just the added pressure of trying
:10:50. > :10:53.to be funny in front of a large number of people. Yes, we all do it
:10:53. > :10:58.in conversation, or when we are having a laugh in the pub, or during
:10:58. > :11:02.a tea break at work. It is just a question of working with people that
:11:02. > :11:06.you know, lots of practice, instinct, but applied with practice
:11:06. > :11:08.and people that are good at what they are doing, so even if you are
:11:08. > :11:16.on stage and you haven't got a they are doing, so even if you are
:11:16. > :11:18.thought in your head, someone will they are doing, so even if you are
:11:18. > :11:20.come onstage and take you somewhere else. So you rely on each other.
:11:20. > :11:22.Totally, and working with someone you don't get on with, as you know,
:11:22. > :11:29.it is a strain! You will be working you don't get on with, as you know,
:11:29. > :11:34.with Ian Hislop on Friday. You are very good at these links, and you?!
:11:34. > :11:41.I just knocked on your dressing room, you are engulfed in the world
:11:41. > :11:45.of music. I have to be now. Ed Miliband and his relationship with
:11:45. > :11:50.his dad, your life changes. Once it starts coming around again, I was
:11:50. > :11:53.useless, I used to get the tabloid newspapers every day, and be very
:11:53. > :11:56.good about it, but you would be reading the same thing four times.
:11:56. > :11:59.In the end, you get reading the same thing four times.
:11:59. > :12:06.the kind of story that will come up, Ed Miliband will come up, this is an
:12:06. > :12:11.important story. Good luck with the tour, it starts this Saturday, the
:12:11. > :12:18.5th of October, in Canterbury. That is right, yeah! The Marlowe Theatre,
:12:18. > :12:20.Canterbury. Arthur Smith is on the road tonight, tonight he's in
:12:20. > :12:26.Nottinghamshire, staying at the home of a romantic poet called Lord
:12:26. > :12:31.Byron. Judging by his outfit, he has picked up a bit of Byron's regency
:12:31. > :12:36.swagger. Everyman likes to imagine himself as
:12:36. > :12:43.a swaggering powered. Well, I do anyway! A swashbuckling charmer,
:12:43. > :12:47.mad, bad and dangerous to know. The template for the romantic figure is,
:12:47. > :12:53.of course, the one and only Lord Byron. 200 years ago, he was
:12:53. > :12:57.Britain's first wild celebrity. And I am hoping to find out more about
:12:57. > :12:59.the man behind the celebrity by spending the night at his ancestral
:12:59. > :13:08.home at Newstead Abbey. It had been his family's
:13:09. > :13:13.Nottinghamshire home for centuries, but by the time Byron inherited
:13:13. > :13:18.Newstead Abbey in 1798, it was practically derelict. Through thy
:13:18. > :13:26.battlements, Newstead, the Hollow wins whistle. Dow, the Hall of my
:13:26. > :13:31.Fathers, gone to decay. He managed to renovate a few rooms in one
:13:31. > :13:37.wing, like this dining room, but dozens remains completely empty.
:13:37. > :13:43.This magnificent room was used only for boxing and fencing. He used the
:13:43. > :13:51.great Hall for pistol practice. Apparently, he was an expert shot.
:13:51. > :13:54.In his former study is a screen that he decorated himself. It's the
:13:54. > :13:58.picked his passions for sport and the day, and it was his passion for
:13:58. > :14:02.picked his passions for sport and passion that brought him fame. --
:14:02. > :14:09.its defects. He was famous for being infamous, his many love affairs were
:14:09. > :14:13.notoriously, especially his most dangerous liaison with Lady Caroline
:14:13. > :14:19.Lamb. Who called him mad, bad and dangerous to know. He decided that
:14:19. > :14:23.he was going to end the affair, this devastated Caroline, and she would
:14:23. > :14:28.dress as a page, and she would ride alongside his coach just to be close
:14:28. > :14:32.to him. So he was really the first celebrity to have a stalker as well,
:14:32. > :14:35.he was ahead of the game. What do you think Lord Byron was like as a
:14:35. > :14:45.person? I think he was very aloof. you think Lord Byron was like as a
:14:45. > :14:50.It has been said that Jane Austin based the character of Mr Darcy on
:14:50. > :14:57.Lord Byron. So Jane Austen would have known Lord Byron? Yes. I don't
:14:57. > :15:02.know if she knew him well, but she was certainly going to these
:15:02. > :15:07.parties. Who knows how many lovers would have climbed this staircase to
:15:07. > :15:12.Byron's bedroom? I am checking out my bedroom for the night, a gilded
:15:12. > :15:18.four-poster, or where Byron's trustee pages slept. Guess which one
:15:18. > :15:26.I am in? I am sure I will sleep soundly, but not just yet. This was
:15:26. > :15:29.a party house, evenings spent making merry and drinking claret. He drank
:15:29. > :15:34.it from this, a skull he found on the grounds he had made into a
:15:34. > :15:37.goblet. This is a reproduction. I shall be spending a more sober
:15:37. > :15:47.evening drinking in the surroundings and reading a bit of Byron. She
:15:47. > :15:51.walks in beauty like the night, in a cloudless climes and starry skies,
:15:51. > :15:57.when all is Best of dark and bright... In the morning, I wake
:15:57. > :16:02.with a very simple thought about Byron. Staying in his house, you
:16:03. > :16:06.realise he is famous for his celebrity, his scandal and his
:16:06. > :16:11.adventures, but looking at what he wrote, you realise that what he
:16:11. > :16:20.really was was a poet. If I don't write to empty my mind, I go mad.
:16:20. > :16:26.This former Abi, part ruin, has the spirit of the poem, -- of the poet,
:16:26. > :16:32.even though he actually any lived here a few years before travelling
:16:32. > :16:35.around on his travels. He died of fever in Greece aged just 36. Byron
:16:35. > :16:39.wanted to be buried here in the fever in Greece aged just 36. Byron
:16:39. > :16:45.grounds of Newstead Abbey, alongside Hezbollah did all, but he ended up
:16:45. > :16:57.in the family grave a few miles away. -- alongside his love it dog.
:16:57. > :17:05.This is one of his famous works - a dog possessed all the virtues of man
:17:05. > :17:09.without his vices. Thank you. Carrie is here now. In that film, we heard
:17:09. > :17:16.that Jane Austen could have based the character Darcy on Lord Byron,
:17:16. > :17:20.which is plausible. But it is a big year for Pride and Prejudice. Yes,
:17:20. > :17:27.because it is 200 years since the book was first published, and it is
:17:27. > :17:32.still selling thousands of copies every year. Jane Austen is going to
:17:32. > :17:37.be on the new £10 note, replacing Darwin. And there have been all the
:17:37. > :17:40.spin offs. This Christmas we are going to have Death Comes To
:17:40. > :17:47.Pemberley, the PD James book now adapted for screen, with the
:17:47. > :17:57.gorgeous Matthew Rhys. Shall I disappear from your site? A few
:17:57. > :17:59.hours would be perfect. Sister. Mr Darcy. Not a moment longer. I
:17:59. > :18:09.hours would be perfect. Sister. Mr shouldn't bear it. You are only
:18:09. > :18:14.human. Well, I just heard an echo from around Britain that it isn't
:18:14. > :18:19.Colin Firth! He says, I will never be able to compete with the sexiness
:18:19. > :18:24.of Colin Firth. Everyone remembers Colin Firth walking out of the lake
:18:24. > :18:28.in his dripping wet shirt. That was recently voted one of TV's most
:18:28. > :18:35.memorable TV moment of drama ever. recently voted one of TV's most
:18:35. > :18:41.So that will be things like dirty Den's divorce papers and Sherlock
:18:41. > :18:45.Holmes dying. That did something to women across the country. We
:18:45. > :18:53.wondered, with a bit of doctoring, whether this would have the same
:18:53. > :19:02.affect? Oh yes! I think I will sue. You could be twins! I look a bit
:19:02. > :19:10.like Alvin Stardust. That may be the key to selling more tickets on your
:19:10. > :19:16.tour. I am happy to wear a blouse. This is the thing with Mr Darcy - he
:19:16. > :19:23.has become this stereotype. He has inspired so many books. We are
:19:23. > :19:30.assessed with him. Where would we be without 50 Shades Of Mr Darcy? And
:19:30. > :19:35.then a Vampire version of Mr Darcy. And of course, the new Bridget Jones
:19:35. > :19:40.book. We have all waited for it, very exciting. In book three, she
:19:40. > :19:45.has killed Mr Darcy! Bridget Jones 's 51. She is a widow with two
:19:45. > :19:54.children. Paul, how do you feel about this? I am absolutely
:19:54. > :20:00.devastated! Did Jane Austin have a reputation outside of Britain? Did
:20:00. > :20:06.she go to the states? Absolutely. There has been a Bollywood version
:20:06. > :20:11.called Bride and Prejudice. Thank you. As we have just heard, Bridget
:20:11. > :20:16.Jones is back, and we have the author, Helen Fielding, on the show
:20:16. > :20:21.next Wednesday. Get in touch if you were a real-life rigid Jones back in
:20:21. > :20:27.the 90s, and tell us how things have turned out for you! -- a real-life
:20:27. > :20:29.Bridget Jones. Living with a mental illness is not only challenging for
:20:29. > :20:34.Bridget Jones. Living with a mental the sufferer, but for the family
:20:34. > :20:39.too. Tonight, two brothers tell us the story of growing up with
:20:39. > :20:49.schizophrenia. I'm woody, and I am the drama in Madness. My name is
:20:49. > :20:54.Nick Woodgate. I am Woody's brother, and I have schizophrenia.
:20:54. > :20:57.Nick Woodgate. I am Woody's Nick was younger than me, and he was
:20:57. > :21:03.really popular in school. Everyone loved him! He was the captain of the
:21:03. > :21:07.football team. He was good at English and art, and, well
:21:07. > :21:12.everything, really. Nick was always going to be the famous one. It was
:21:12. > :21:18.written in the stars that he would be the star. I took LSD when I was
:21:18. > :21:28.11, and by the time I was 13, I had taken it a couple of times. And I
:21:28. > :21:31.knew everything was wrong then. I first realised that Nick had some
:21:31. > :21:38.problem in his early teens. He became quite withdrawn, and he would

:21:46. > :21:52.me, I feel like inanimate objects and people are sending me messages,
:21:52. > :22:00.and they are telling me that this other side exists. And that they are
:22:00. > :22:05.suffering, and the only way of stopping the suffering is for me to
:22:05. > :22:12.kill myself. I feel sad, in a way, when I have those episodes, because
:22:12. > :22:18.I don't want to leave this world, because I am attached to people in a
:22:18. > :22:21.very strong way. I was 27 when I was sectioned. I didn't think there was
:22:21. > :22:27.anything wrong with me, even though I was living in this fantasy world
:22:27. > :22:34.of my own. When I was ill in my teens and 20s, I couldn't hold a
:22:34. > :22:41.job. I had a few jobs which were a couple of days long, but the average
:22:41. > :22:44.time was two weeks. This room is where we did our first gig with our
:22:44. > :22:48.time was two weeks. This room is first band, together, Nick and I
:22:48. > :22:55.come back when we were 13 or 14 years old. Being with Madness in the
:22:55. > :23:03.early days was tough, with Nick being just not right. You were
:23:03. > :23:09.really kind of... You definitely changed. It got worse and worse. You
:23:09. > :23:15.turned up in Scandinavia in jeans and T-shirt, and it was freezing! I
:23:15. > :23:19.got him back to the hotel room where I was staying, fed him, got him as
:23:19. > :23:24.warm as I could, and then when I looked around, he had just
:23:24. > :23:30.disappeared. It was getting where members of my family, it was
:23:30. > :23:34.mortifying having him around. That sounds very selfish and
:23:34. > :23:39.self-centred. Absolutely true, though. I never thought I felt any
:23:39. > :23:45.jealousy for Woody's success, but it is only in recent days when I think
:23:45. > :23:49.that every time something exciting happened to Madness, like if they
:23:49. > :23:55.got a new album out or a single to number one, it was kind of naming my
:23:55. > :24:05.coffin down even further, because I was so unable to fulfil my talents.
:24:05. > :24:13.Nick and I have formed a band called The Magic Brothers. We have an album
:24:13. > :24:20.out. Nick frustrates the hell out of me, because he never has a complete
:24:20. > :24:26.song. For Nick, he is like, what a relief! Someone has finished my
:24:26. > :24:28.song! We do work very well together. As you are my brother, I understand
:24:28. > :24:34.where you're coming from. It is like As you are my brother, I understand
:24:34. > :24:44.a proper grown-up group that adults do. Have we grown up? Unfortunately,
:24:44. > :24:51.have! Good. What a relationship they have. Banks to Woody and to Nick,
:24:51. > :24:55.and their debut album is out now. A brand-new venue called the Hydro in
:24:56. > :25:04.Glasgow opened its doors for the first time last night. Thousands saw
:25:04. > :25:07.Rod Stewart performed there. A few weeks ago, we were given exclusive
:25:07. > :25:12.access to see the site and how the venue was built.
:25:12. > :25:17.The One Show has been following all the action from behind-the-scenes at
:25:17. > :25:21.Scotland's new home for live entertainment, the Hydro. It
:25:21. > :25:27.resembles an alien spacecraft, but the materials used in this building,
:25:27. > :25:40.Teflon, you can find in a frying pan. The new building is clad in a
:25:40. > :25:44.material called ETFE, which will reflect the light and showcase
:25:44. > :25:52.lighting this place. I am here to meet the architect. Is that strong
:25:52. > :26:03.enough? It is a sophisticated system. There was a lot that goes
:26:03. > :26:09.into it. But Scottish wind and rain - it will need to be tough. It is
:26:09. > :26:13.very tough. There is a wind sensor on the roof, and if the wind is
:26:13. > :26:17.getting up, the pressure on the pillows increases. It might look
:26:17. > :26:22.simple, but it is a sophisticated system. The amount of air this will
:26:22. > :26:29.change throughout the year. In the summer months, you might not have as
:26:29. > :26:34.much. Yes. As the wind changes, so does the pressure. And the silver
:26:34. > :26:39.surface, is that purely to reflect light? The silver dots prevent the
:26:39. > :26:44.sun from heating up the space inside the building. We did a lot of work
:26:44. > :26:51.getting the right says Dot's -- the right size dots and the right
:26:51. > :26:54.spacing. Weather and even a fire caused delays, so specialists have
:26:54. > :27:02.been working round the clock to make sure the venue was open on time. You
:27:02. > :27:08.are the man who puts it up? I am. Is that a nerve wracking job? It looks
:27:08. > :27:12.very delicate. It is quite a strong plastic. It has got quite a lot of
:27:12. > :27:20.strength to it when you lift it up in the air. How long has it taken
:27:20. > :27:27.you to get to where you are now? The actual install of the pillows has
:27:27. > :27:33.taken about four months. 450 light fixtures illuminate the building.
:27:33. > :27:37.Combined, they produced nearly 13 million colours. The Hydro will host
:27:37. > :27:42.boxing and gymnastics at next year's Commonwealth Games. It joins
:27:42. > :27:49.a string of venues purpose-built and ready well in advance of 2014. Last
:27:49. > :27:55.night, Rod Stewart open the 12,000 seat venue. With a start like this,
:27:55. > :27:59.it is clear to see that the party begins before you enter the
:27:59. > :28:02.building. There you go! I will be in there
:28:02. > :28:07.covering the gymnastics, so I look There you go! I will be in there
:28:07. > :28:11.forward to that. Paul, 28 venues you are about to do on this tour. We are
:28:11. > :28:18.going to test you to see how well you know the venues. The driver
:28:18. > :28:24.knows where to go, not me! Lets see if you can recognise the venue from
:28:24. > :28:31.the stage door. The stage door is the bit you generally see. Lets put
:28:31. > :28:41.you to the test. Where is this? You are playing there on the 20th of
:28:41. > :28:51.October. Bracknell? It is the and dill! This is the next one. This was
:28:51. > :29:00.built in 1971. That is Swindon. It is! Very good! Where is this? Is it
:29:00. > :29:07.Croydon? It is the hexagon in Reading! Thanks ever so much for
:29:07. > :29:12.coming in. Good luck with the tour. Paul Merton starts this Saturday in
:29:12. > :29:13.Canterbury. We will be back tomorrow with Emma Thompson. See you then.
:29:13. > :29:14.Goodbye.
