02/04/2014 The One Show

Tonight, we look at today's once in a lifetime event that has caused

more air pollution in Norfolk than in London. Gosh - I really hope it

doesn't affect the voice. So do we. Hello and Welcome to The One Show

with Matt Baker. And Alex Jones. Yes, there's definitely something in

the air today. Dan Snow is here to reunite some families with their

long lost World War I heirlooms. All thanks to you at home. And we'll be

finding out what it felt like to be on this train right in the worst of

the February storms. That was just before the tracks disappeared into

the sea. Let's meet our two guests tonight. It's Suranne Jones. And

Sandi Toskvig. We coordinated. Was there an e-mail? Immediately. Have

you been across this pollution? I have been. I have asthma. You can

feel it in your lungs, certainly in London you can. A friend of mine

washed her car and two days later it was filthy. We woke up on Sunday

morning and I thought, what has happened to our cars? They were

covered in sand. I thought, what was that? And, as we saw earlier, we've

got the four Voice finalists Christina Marie, Jamie, Jermain and

Sally here. Each of them will be singing live for us later. We're

going to stay impartial but if you're a Voice superfan, we want you

to show your support for your favourite. Take a photo of yourself

holding up the name of the one you're rooting for and send it to us

with a line or two about why you want them to win. We will give them

a confidence boost. Back to those pollution levels and today Defra

warned that the worst hit areas would be around East Anglia and

parts of the Midlands. Nick Owen has been out in Birmingham to see if

it's caused any problems there. We do not normally give air

pollution in Birmingham that much thought but we are the second most

polluted city in Britain after London. We are surrounded by motor

racing vehicle pollution is a major factor. On top of that, there is

pollution coming across from industrial cities of Europe with

sand sweeping in from the survey are. -- the Sahara. I have noticed

it on my car and conservatory roof. It has been pretty bad. My car was

covered in sand. I cleaned it all up. The next day it was back again.

It makes you wonder about your health. I have been coughing. I saw

someone with a mask on. What sort of problems can add pollution cause? Mr

G problems -- respiratory problems, especially for people with existing

asthma. The advice is for people to stay home and avoid exertion. Air

pollution in Birmingham today has been moderate. It will be high

tomorrow. How concerned should we be? You would probably only see

short-term symptoms. It would go away immediately. Fightback the

message is, be careful but relax. We're joined by Dr Benjamin Barratt,

a Lecturer in Air Quality Science at King's College London and Carol

Kirkwood from the BBC weather centre. Where are the levels at? It

started at the weekend. They were at very high levels on Sunday and

Monday. Levels cleared a bit and this morning was looking OK. Let's

have a look at Sunday. What do the colours mean? The UK Government has

a banding system with ten different levels. One is low and ten is high.

It is quite high on Sunday. It was the highest that we get in the UK.

Purple levels are pretty unusual. What is making up this pollution? In

this case, it is a very unusual mix. Saharan dust is being imported up

from Africa, combined with easterly winds blowing continental European

pollution to the UK and we are adding our own pollution to it. We

have had low pressure in the Atlantic and high pressure in

Eastern Europe and this deed of southeasterly winds. We have had

them for a few days. We have picked up the dust from the Saharan desert

which worked across the Mediterranean across north-west

Europe and across the UK. It merged together and stayed there. There has

been dry weather in the east and that is why it did not go away. How

often do we get Saharan sand over here? We do get it. It is not

unusual. In that particular weekend, last weekend, it left a residue on

cars and Windows. Or do you have been testing today 's pollution. --

all day. This is recently, in the last hour or two. No purple but the

south-east is heading into red. That is high air pollution. These have

different health effects. Up at the high level is where people need to

be taking action to try to avoid the pollution. North-west Norfolk had

the highest levels. Why was that? That was earlier in the week. It is

all to do with wind direction. On that day, that is where it was

hitting. When will this blow away? By Friday, it will have gone and the

wind direction will have changed. It will come in from a clear source,

namely the Atlantic. We will have rain that will wash it away. The

testing results today, what have we learned from the top of the BBC? I

set up these two instruments on the roof. It was to find out what their

quality was like quickly. There you are, first thing this morning, just

after breakfast. Air levels were reasonable women started. Through

the course of the day, there was a steady increase. It went up to

around 19 micrograms. That is where we tip from these orange, moderate

levels to the red, high levels. Do you have any questions? I do not

think I have seen a pollution shop before. Is it regular? We are

starting to introduce it into our forecasts. This situation is a lot

more common in the summer. As Ben said, we have had an unusual

situation with the factors coming together at a time. I suffer from

asthma. You can see those charts on the Defra website as well, if anyone

else is interested. Thank you both very much indeed. Thank you for

getting up. Britain, you have a tricky decision to make on

Saturday, which contestant are you going to vote for in the grand final

of The Voice? We will be meeting each finalist and hearing them

saying throughout the show. First, Jamie. Let's see the moment he got

through last Saturday. It is Jamie will --. A lovely moment

with your family. Congratulations on getting to the final. I will tell

you what you have been living most men 's dream. How has Kylie Minogue

been as a coach? Is she hands on? Yelena I am going to say she is the

best coach. -- I am going to say she is the best coach. How are you

feeling? I am one of the most nervous people but I am feeling

good. I cannot wait. I am looking forward to getting out there and

doing it. You have all picked songs to sing on Saturday, which some have

you chosen? My favourite song of the series, Sex On Fire. May I present

Jamie Johnson. # lay where you are laying, do not

make a sound. I know they are watching, they are watching. And all

the commotion, the giddy light play has people talking and talking and

talking. Oh, your sex is on fire. I will tell you what, he can sing

live. Well done, that was super. You are my favourite so far. Three more

finalists to come. This Friday, the Dawlish rail line will finally be

reopened after it was decimated in the February storms. Local

journalist Sam Smith has been there for The One Show, following the

monumental efforts involved in getting the service back on track in

just two months. But first here she is, speaking to some of the people

who there in Dawlish in the eye of the storm and they have incredible

footage to prove it. It was a spectacle that beggared belief. The

main line into Devon and Cornwall ripped apart by the sea. Since then,

Network Rail has been working around the clock to get the lines open in

time for the Easter holidays. If all goes to plan, soon you will be

hard-pressed to tell anything much happened. Happened it certainly did.

The ferocious weather smashed through the sea wall and the track

that runs on top of it. It has left its mark on people 's lives. The

storm made landfall on the 4th of February and, writing its path, was

the morning train. I got the train at 8:30am. It was a regular commute

apart from it was a bit windy. As we were approaching the train station,

I noticed that the waves were starting to hit the rocks, go over

the rocks and then hit the side of my train. It was terrifying. For 20

minutes, Daryl was trapped in what felt like a giant car wash. The

section of line collapsed 12 hours later. Were you scared? Definitely

scared. In my mind, I was running through what would happen if the

train started to give way and went onto its side. You working out a

plan? Definitely. What was it? Pick up stuff and run and hold on to the

poor near -- the pole near the door. Luckily it did not come to that. For

the residents that live track-side, there was no easy escape. Sign up as

soon as the war went, stones were getting chucked up. -- as soon as

the wall went. You can see the white water through the railway line. It

was inching towards the house. We really had to go. Shane and his

family got out in the nick of time. Shortly after his drive and part of

his garage were washed away. Wow! You can see the cavity. Is it a load

of your stuff down in that pit? Yes. It is buried. Amazingly no one was

harmed in Dawlish that night. Daryl could not believe his lucky escape.

Day later, I found out the piece of land my train had been on did not

exist any more and that really puts it into perspective. Had it happened

the day before, goodness knows what could have happened to me. The

properties in the firing line couldn't be repaired until the line

is fully rebuilt. Some residents are having to rent elsewhere or live in

caravans. The first passengers train is due to run on Friday so, for

Network Rail, the pressure is on. We'll have more from Dawlish later

when we'll find out how they had to move heaven and earth to get the

Railtrack cleared and finally send the very first train down the line.

It's amazing! Helicopters are involved and everything. Amazing how

much they've done. It wasn't that long ago. It is going to be hard to

move away from the TV this weekend. As well as the Voice final, The

Crimson Field starts on Sunday. This new six part drama follows the lives

of a group of nurses in a field hospital during the First World War

and Suranne is one of the main characters. This is your first

costume drama, which is surprising, because you've done loads of stuff.

It's the first BBC World War I drama. You did lots of research, we

hear. Yes, Sarah, who wrote it, called me up and she suggested one

of the books. I read a book which was like a diary, which was

heartbreaking. Then I went off to the Imperial War museum and there

was an exhibition about medics on the Western front throughout

history, which was really useful. And two women who were part of a

motorcycle club in the First World War... I kind of based my character

on them because I arrive on a bike. Its more modern than I thought. So I

guess that putting a contemporary actress, or someone that is known

for that... It's a bit different to the crime dramas and Coronation

Street. Let's have a look at the moment that your character first

meets the matron. I realised I had missed the

transport so I thought I'd get here under my own stream. -- steam. I've

got the goggles and everything. I could have turned up in full evening

wear with two dogs if I'd wanted to. This is Joan Livesey. The missing

volunteer? No, a civilian reservist. APPLAUSE

Your character seems very matter of fact and open but you introduce this

real mystery about your character in the first episode.

Yes, as every good character does, she has a secret. She comes to

France to nurse. She is a reservist. It focuses on the

involuntary and detachment but she is a sister so she comes to France

for nursing but carries a secret with her. It's hard to talk about

because you find out in the second episode. I want to talk about it but

I won't because I don't want to spoil it! World War I was a time

when women were breaking out from traditional roles. How does your

character reflect this? She is modern. She was a suffragist. Her

social set in Liverpool is quite forward-thinking and political. They

see each other as equals, so when you take someone like that and put

them into a military environment, where authority is key... She

believes that her colleagues can do a lot more. People thought the war

would be over at Christmas and it wasn't. The volume of men coming in

for the nurses to treat in the field hospital - they need all hands on

deck so my character once the new rather than the old. The motorcycle

women needed a special door for their hospital and ordered it from

Harrods. We don't have enough stories about them and there aren't

enough memorials. That's what Sarah has done beautifully. She has been

very true to this historical period but she's done a wonderful drama

looking at the eyes -- through the eyes of the women. The staging and

the sets! It's supposed to be northern France but is shot in

Wiltshire. Why Wiltshire? Just because there was this beautiful big

expanse. They built allotments and they planted crops from 100 years

ago, way before we started filming, so the depth that they could get

with the HD cameras was amazing. The set designers were brilliant. We

looked at the old photographs and what they recreated in the set is

amazing. Is it right that they planted an old variety of wheat?

Yes, near the cemetery. As we were walking through, someone said they

were here planting it and it had grown. Even on the advert when the

matron walks through and there are sheets drying on the line... Anyway,

Suranne is not the only one who has appeared in a costume drama

recently. Let's have a look, Sandi! Are you the father? Yes. The machine

is breathing for him. He is not currently able to do that on his

own. I understand. I am his GP, too. Of course, you sent in the other

lad. Polio. A mild dose. Out of bed and giving cheek. That was

wonderful! I was told to play her very severe but I like to think I

gave her a slightly slutty side! Somebody said she looked like a

grandma and I think I look like my mum! It's strange what a period

costume dolls. If we both keep the frocks, we could maybe come up with

something! Can we look forward to more? I loved it. I didn't know what

to do. I just caressed that gently. Very convincing!

Last week we made an appeal to viewers to help us reunite the First

World War diary and a medal with their families and Dan is here to

reveal the amazing detective work you've been doing. Let's remind

ourselves about Amy's diary, the diary of a World War I Red Cross

nurse that turned up in some rubbish about 15 years ago and, Suranne,

because you are playing a nurse, we would like you to read an extract.

April the 6th 1918. A train in during the night straight from the

trenches. Awful cases and so many died. The theatre staff had to set

up and operations were going on all night. Three tables were going on at

the same time. It is pitiful to walk through the wards and see the

hundreds of dying boys. The huts are full and patients are lying on the

floor. I'm sick of the ghastly sites. Here is what we know about

the diary and the medal and this is what we found out last Monday. This

is a medal but you got if you fought in 1914 or 1915.

I found it when I was gardening in Chislehurst. It belonged to Captain

GW Hopton. This is very special. It's a diary. It's written by bill

-- Amy W Billam. That was last week. There are few people here, so

the story has moved on. It was one of the most inspiring things I've

ever done. Within seconds, my Twitter had gone bananas! We had the

bullring in. Angela ran into the team here. We had the Red Cross

archive. -- we had people bring in. Somebody went through the census

records and the electoral register and found the grandson, Peter. Did

you know about this diary? No idea. What was she like? The

diary paints a dark picture but she was quite gregarious. There is a

story about her commandeering an ambulance to go out for some R and R

with another nurse. There's a picture of me sitting on her lap

down here. Amy is the one at the back. Mixed feelings because you've

got to hand over the diary. How do you feel? A bit sad. I've been its

custodian for 15 years but it should go back to its family. Thank you

very much. I'm really excited to have this. I'm going to take it

home, read it, sharing with the family, then donated to the Imperial

War Museum with some other document and hopefully they will look after

it for another 100 years. What a wonderful moment and thank you to

everybody who has been part of the search. Thank you to Martin for

rescuing it for the skip. We've got more results! Stephen, tell us about

the medal. We managed to find a family member. Richard, it gives me

great pleasure to hand this medal over to its family. The medal is for

you and the box is 50 quid! Hang on a minute! The payment is in the

post! How are you related to GW Hopton? I worked out that I am his

second cousin, three times removed, which is pretty distant, but we are

still related. And it was you who saw it on The One Show, was it? No,

I got back home after the programme had finished but my young relative

had noticed the family name and was in a frenzy of excitement and we ran

with it from there. Thank goodness she is so astute! We're not stopping

here. More stuff. Sending stuff if you have it at home! We have an

amazing painting that John has brought in. It is of a second

lieutenant from the First World War. It was painted in 1917. It is

left ten at a cheap price. -- Lieutenant H E price. I saw this in

a local pub and the landlord said he was going to give it up and I asked

if I could have the picture. He said I could have it if I replaced it

with something else. I took it home and put it in a drawer and forgot

about it. But you've been looking for descendants? Yes, after I

motivated myself to go and check it out, I realised that on the frame

were his details and that motivated me to do some research and find out

about him. I got to some extent. I got his medal card, for example, and

that was about it. As soon as your show came on, I thought I would have

a look at it. Once again, get in touch on Facebook or e-mail if you

have any information that could help us reunite this painting with its

subject's family. Thanks so much to our finders and their families and

the viewers who helped. If you want to find out more about Amy, you can

read her diary entries for April on our website. As if we hadn't seen

enough flooding, this week's big film release, Noah, promises floods

of biblical proportions. But how much of the story of the arc

actually holds water? We've been out to find out.

Man corrupted this world and filled it with violence so it needs to be

destroyed. Hollywood has done it again. It has caused controversy and

the burning question on the street is, could there be any voracity to

this ancient Mesopotamian classic? The British Museum, home to an

abundance of ancient artefacts, including a clay tablet telling a

familiar tale that predates the Bible. Every Bourdy knows the story

of Noah and the flood. What is really interesting in this tablet

that we have shows that it was an old historian that existed in

ancient Iraq a long time before it ended up in the Bible. So I think it

is a recycled job. It's a really good story. The world is going to

end and one hero will rescue everything. Is there any chance that

Noah as a nonfictional character actually existed? No, it was a

Hebrew name. In the Babylonian story, he had a different name. He

is an important character in a very famous story. We can't otherwise

prove that he really existed and walked down the pavement. There are

60 lines of writing and the first bit is when God whispers to the

character that he has to build the boat. The next thing is that it has

to be round. And then a few lines down, it says that it is 3600 square

metres. A big boat! And here it says two by two, which we know from the

Bible. Is it true that the film producers approached you before

Russell Crowe to appear in the film? No. If they had come to see him, the

art would have been right but they can say that they have at least been

inspired by real bites, sort of, about 1000 years before the Bible in

Babylonia! The ancient Babylonians did prefer their animals going in

two by two. They didn't stipulate how you go about tricking so many

animals onto and ark. It is a logistical nightmare. He built it

and they came. You'd have to have all different types of food. The

lemurs are going to keep the same as the draft. Everything he put in is

going to have to come out somewhere. -- the same as the

giraffe. You can't argue with a meerkat on its hind legs! I would

take the giraffe. And an antelope. You can't beat the big herbivores.

Nauta something more spiritual. No, a great story - does it matter if it

is true? -- Noah, a great story. It doesn't matter. It's about God

giving us chances and smoking them up. Animals are important to many of

us and, whether we eat them or not, they are often friends, part of the

family, and to take them all on a boat, there is a lovely sense of

everyone going on an exciting adventure, a bit like Cliff

Richard's summer holiday on the bus. It's about whether you could see

yourself in this story and because it involves family and pets, people

can see themselves in the story. And that's lovely! Whether you think the

Noah story literally happened is probably a matter of faith. For a

lot of people, it doesn't really matter. It's just a good story that

has survived thousands of years. Not surprisingly, when you chuck in a

happy ending, a bit of weather chat, and a few animals. A real

blockbuster! and epic production, much like your low-key event. Let's

say congratulations. My partner and I renewed our files on Saturday. I

said, let's have a low-key affair on stage, with Rick Wakeman and 2000

people in the audience. Other than that, it was very intimate. What was

going on? We did have a small section of our friends as well. It

was the passing of the same-sex marriage act on Saturday and we

wanted to market in a really significant manner. We decided to

make a public statement. Sometimes you have a day in your life that

cannot be improved upon, it was moving, funny, blue skies. We

finished the event with everyone singing, Bring Me Sunshine. Next

Saturday, 15 To One is back. There is a quiz show and there is my

marriage. You are right! Had did it come about, you hosting it? I got a

phone call asking me to replace William G Stewart. You cannot

replace an icon but you can do your best. I had a huge amount of fun.

William G Stewart was quite stern as a quiz master. What is your

approach? I'm going to go with less stern. Sometimes the comedy door is

open and I step right through. I do make jokes, I am a bit

light-hearted. I do occasionally get to the bit about are there enough

contestants? I love the range of knowledge people have. One minute

they are answering questions about the Pet Shop Boys. It is fantastic.

Everyone gets a go, three shows. It would be a shame to have tricky

question which means you can't get through. It is life changing money.

I get to know the dreams of all the contestants. When somebody goes

out, the dream has gone as well. A lot of it was very heartfelt. Let's

have a look at some of the questions. In which country was the

sight of the Battle of balaclava, which was fought chewing the Crimean

War? Ukraine. Absolutely right. -- during the Crimean War. Is it right

that some of the original contestants are coming back? We have

someone on whose father and grandfather had been on. It is, in

the quizzing community, a very popular show. There is talk of a

celebrity special. We do not want to partner you up now. She ran, would

you be in the market? -- Suranne. It is not the question, it is the time.

It is the speed at which people answer. Sometimes I cannot read that

fast. If someone asked me my name, I would forget it. It is not a good

idea. It is on at 5:15pm on Channel 4 this Saturday. Earlier, Jamie did

his thing. Now it is time to meet the second by Ernest for The Voice.

Here is a moment from last weekend 's semifinal. -- second finalist.

How has the week been so far? It has been crazy, manic but a lot of fun.

How have you been coping with the nerves? Initially you have problems

with stage fright. The first week, I was very scared. I have just sort of

realised you do what you love every day and we are very lucky. Is it

hard knowing this is the final but the key is to try to remain as calm

as possible? I am a pay now but on Saturday morning I will not. Good to

get it out of the way nice and early. -- I am OK now. What will you

be singing? I have chosen the Power Of Love. It was the most special

moment on the show because of my friendship. Viewers, this is

important stuff. That meaning to do is important stuff. That means

reduced to the rightful winner of The Voice.

# the power of love, a force from above, cleaning my soul.

# Blame on the desire, Love with tonnes of fire, purge the soul, make

love your goal. that got the tingles going, didn't

it? Beautiful! Absolutely brilliant. Two down and two to go.

We're moving on to a film. I am very excited about this. Sandi Toksvig is

a very clever person. You know when you watch geese flying in a geese

formation. What is your theory about having to switch one is that the

front? Who is the union leader? You don't think there is a big meeting.

I used to live on a houseboat and they used to meet around my boat. I

am sure that is what they were doing. We have been for a gander at

the formation flying team. Here we go. Throughout the year, birds

migrate. One of the most spectacular sights is when geese fly in aid the

shape. For years, scientists debated why birds fly in this formation.

Some say they are just saving energy whilst others think they are

following the best navigator. Finally, science is revealing

exactly why they do it and, more importantly, how. A group of

scientists are being helped by some greylag geese that have a rather

unconventional man. When the chick hatches, the first object they say,

they instinctively think of as their mother. Joan has brought up the 70s.

The most special thing about my case is that they followed me everywhere.

They fly by the special car we have got. This special relationship will

enable scientists to put data loggers on the geese today, helping

with their research into this flying. Jim explains what they found

out. Which bird is each bird looking at? You can work out where each bird

is and how it is moving. The idea of using trained to use is that he gets

the data loggers back. This is a mile long runway. Faster! The

amazing thing is they are in an absolutely perfect V-formation, even

though there are only seven of them. One out front, three at the side. It

is amazing how they just slot into that pattern. We are going 30, 40

miles an hour ground speed and they are easily keeping up with us. They

are lean, mean, flying machines. Today he hopes to compare these

geese with other birds he studied that lie in this V-formation. Ibises

slapped in a way that made sense. -- flapped. If you imagine the air goes

up and down. If you are half a wavelength behind, you have to slap

out of phase. By filming them in slow motion, we are observing them

doing a similar pattern. The front bird flapping and the birds behind

our answering in their wing beats to catch the updraught. It is clever.

One thing scientists are still puzzling over. Is the dominant goose

on the ground the leader of the V-formation? The top dog is doing.

Thomas is the very lowest one in the pecking order. So is that one,

Hannah. She is very low down as well. We have decided to carry out

our own study using coloured ribbons to see who is the top girl off the

air. Yellow, orange and green are definitely the three birds who seem

to be swapping. Blue has moved on. There is Thomas. He has been pushed

down. That is because he is bullied. Yellow is in the lead. Green, once

again. The winner is, yellow. Not the most scientific survey with just

two runs but orange and yellow definitely swapping the lead. Does

that surprise you? It did not surprise me with the one with the

orange ribbon but it did surprise me with Hannah with the yellow ribbon.

I was really surprised because she is much more subordinate. Science is

finally revealing that birds flying in a V-formation are coming together

in the most aerodynamic way. I will never, ever again look at this in

the same way. Cheers. We're up on the roof with Father and son team,

Steven and Matt Bishop. They are pretty good formation flyers

themselves. They have created these incredible scale models of the red

arrows. They are beautiful. Welcome. Nice to have you here. They take

about year to build. How did it all start? Everyone dreams of flying

with the Red Arrows. Father and son bonding time. How high and high

farce can they fly? We fly 1000 feet. -- how fast. Sima could they

fly at 150 miles an hour. You fly these all around the world. We have

been to Italy and the Caribbean. We are invited to events around the UK

as well. Have the Red Arrows seniors themselves? It is fantastic. They

cannot believe how close to their display it is. It was icing on the

cake, after four years of practising and hard work to meet the real Red

Arrows. It was a fantastic achievement. You are both qualified

pilots. How difficult is it to land one of these hawks? Really difficult

because you aren't inside the plane, you don't know what it's doing, what

the speeders. There's that third dimension to land it. It's hard! It

a lot harder to fly a model than a full size. Where can we see these

being flown? Pop along to the Weston Park model airshow on Father's Day.

There are a lot more of these to fly. Thank you both. Lovely to meet

you. Alex on the roof, over and out! If it wasn't for the engine

noise you wouldn't know the difference.

Are used to put a bit of cardboard on a bicycle and it made that

noise! We've heard Jamie, we've heard Christina Marie, and it's time

for our third Voice performance. From Team Will, it's germane, and

here's how he reacted to the news that he was through.

It is Jermain! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

What was it like to watch that? It feels so surreal. To be there, to

be on that stage, to be in that environment. There are millions of

people at home watching and it is so surreal. And to know you are the

last one standing! You have this extraordinary voice, this wonderful

range. When did you realise you could go so low and so high? I grew

up listening to Luther Vandross and I loved the way he would use his

baritone. I used to mimic that as a child and growing up, I developed

how to control it and then worked on using my head voice much more. Of

all the songs that you've sung, what have you chosen to sing on Saturday?

I've chosen to sing And I Am Telling You.

We will hand over to Will.i.am. He will do your intro. One Show

viewers, may I present, from Team Will, the very talented Jermain

Jackman. # No, no, there's no way.

# No, no, no, no way I'm living without you.

# I'm not living without you. # I don't wanna be free.

# I'm staying. # I'm staying.

# And you, and you. # You're gonna love me. #.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Well, I thought I had an idea before

tonight... And we've got Sally coming up! It's

too hard! Thanks again. Earlier, we heard eyewitness accounts of the

incredible storm that hit Dawlish in February and obliterated a whole

section of railway. Time to go back to see how they've moved heaven and

earth to get the line back up and running in time for its opening on

Friday. The railway running through Dawlish

is one of the greatest achievements of the Victorian engineer in supply

at Kingdom Brunel. -- Isambard. He built his railway line on the most

level route available, right next to the sea. For 170 years, it withstood

Hell and high water. But on the 4th of February this year, it suffered a

death blow. The track was destroyed, cutting off the main train route

into the south-west of England. The rebuilding by Network Rail was

planned to take just eight weeks. You are the guy in charge? Yeah, I'm

the guy in charge. What were you thinking when you realised you had

to do this? Is the DLO how am I going to get the railway that? What

is going to take? Is everything save? How bad is the damage? What

does it look like? Of course, everything was damaged. Not only at

this location but for a couple of miles either side. We had widespread

damage to the wall and the track. You've got to keep calm and have a

perspective about how long it will take and that's what we did.

The first job was to sever what was left of the line, then some 3500

tonnes of concrete foundations had to be laid. But a storm after storm

hampered progress. Anybody working down in the area itself has to wear

safety harnesses which have to be connected and they will have to have

life jackets around their neck. If it is too dangerous, we just won't

let them work. To make up time, Network Rail shifted things up a

gear, working around the clock. Despite a continued onslaught from

the waves and the weather, the work to catch patch up the whole here is

on schedule but there has been a big hitch further down the line. When we

thought the end was in sight and we were going for the opening, we've

had a major landslide two miles down the line towards Teignmouth. About

100,000 tonnes of Cliff has slid down the slope. A major problem and

a risk. We can't open the railway. Attempts to wash the rubble away

failed. Even water bobbing could shift it.

-- bombing. It was time to try high-pressure hoses capable of

blasting rock in quarries. And they finally did the trick.

Back at the whole, with two weeks to go until the planned opening, the

pace was picking up. The ballast was in and the new truck was being laid.

For 50 days, 300 men and women have been working round-the-clock on this

project and now a momentous moment - at 7am, this stopped being a

building site and are once again became a railway line. And what a

transformation! The whole has gone. We've filled it

in. We've made it safe. Is this a temporary solution? No, it is a

solution probably for four to ten years and in the longer term, we are

going to have to look at what we do for this wall for the next 150

years. But is the line really back contract? Time to find out. It is

for IM and the first proper test for the new rails. -- it is 4am. This is

going over a new section of line. It's moving really slowly because

this track is still bedding in. But there it goes, travelling over what

was, until just a few days ago, a very big hole in the ground. It has

cost ?15 million to get to this point and there are still big

questions about the future of this route. But for now, the Easter

message from Dawlish is that Isambard Kingdom Brunel's railway

has arisen again. Fantastic news that the line will be

open on Friday and we'll be back to see what has happened to some of the

other victims of this year's floods tomorrow. Suranne, we're coming to

the end of the show but we have to say good news for Scott Bailey

fans because you are back very shortly. When is it back on screens?

We start filming in four weeks and it should be on screen by the end of

the year. Last time we saw you, there was tension because Janet and

Rachel had fallen out. Is it resolved? I've just seen Leslie in a

play, so we're all right! But I'm not sure about Rachel and Janet.

Hopefully! Hopefully, otherwise there is no Scott Bailey! Are you

in training? It's very physical. I've just done a play which was

really physical. I was up on high wires stop at the moment, I'm all

right. I'm climbing Ben Nevis for Alzheimer's. So I think I'll be OK.

Sandy, let's talk about Friday. What a couple of weeks! It all just comes

together. You are receiving an OBE. What are you wearing? That has been

a very big decision! I will ask you what to wear. You get all sorts of

instructions but the thing is you get free tickets. It's a problem

because I have three kids and a partner. One of my children isn't

coming because she's training to be a doctor. It is an enormous honour.

I can't quite believe it! It's interesting how you found out. I

arrived home and it was raining and my partner said she thought there

was something under the doormat. I was backwards and forwards carrying

things, stepping all over the doormat, and of course, it was a

beautiful letter from the palace assigned by the Queen! I may not

mention that on Friday, that I stood all over the honour. Have a

brilliant day. After three terrific performances,

it is time for our final Voice finalist. From Team Tom, it's Sally.

Here is the moment she got through. # You climbed up the ladder #. It's

Sally! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

I'm so pleased you are through! Sally is in the zone, so let's hand

over to her mental, Mr Tom Jones, to introduce her. This is Tom Jones.

From Team Tom, I present the wonderful Sally Barker.

# Dear darlin' . # please excuse my writing.

# I can't stop my hands from shaking.

# Cos I'm cold and alone tonight. # I miss you.

# and nothing hurts like no you. # And no-one understands what we

went through. # It was short, it was sweet, we

tried. # We tried #.

APPLAUSE I know how Tom feels when he is

welling up at the end of the performance!

I don't know. It's too difficult. Sally, that was wonderful. Good luck

to you all on Saturday. It is too difficult! I have to say, when you

sit watching it at home, it doesn't really do it justice when the sound

is coming through the TV because to sit here and witness you singing...

Brilliant. And you are also different so it's hard. Tom Jones

could still win! Britain is behind you. We have been asking people to

send in photos with signs. This man loves the atmosphere you

create. This is Georgie from Surrey and she wants you to win, Jamie. She

made you assign. Gorgeous Jamie to win! Look at Ellie in marmalade! I

presume that is marmalade! They are rooting for you. They think your

vocal range is unbelievable, Jermain. And the last one. Hello!

This is Jeff. He's sending you lots of love and luck. Have you got loads

of supporters coming to see you on Saturday? Speak a

It is great to know there is so much support. And on Monday, that will be

it! I don't want it to end! We wish you all the best. That's all for

tonight. Thanks to Sandi and Suranne. Fifteen To One starts on

Saturday and The Crimson Field starts on Sunday. We will be back
