:00:15. > :00:16.Hello and welcome to your Bank Holiday One Show
:00:17. > :00:23.Now we hope you've had a great day off, but if you did have to work
:00:24. > :00:26.and were stuck inside, our aim tonight is to bring
:00:27. > :00:34.We're taking you out to our coast, our forests and our countryside,
:00:35. > :00:37.and we've got a guest who knows a thing or two
:00:38. > :00:51.APPLAUSE It is good to see you. Your bank
:00:52. > :00:56.holiday has mostly been spent getting to us, but if you like to
:00:57. > :01:04.have a day off, what do you want to do? I would take the dogs out and
:01:05. > :01:08.explore my own patch, I know that area better than anywhere else on
:01:09. > :01:12.earth. There have been radical changes over this weekend. I went
:01:13. > :01:19.away on Saturday and got back this morning and the beech tree had got
:01:20. > :01:23.leaves and it suddenly had become an emerald piece of woodland. Now I
:01:24. > :01:28.cannot see through the trees. That was over the course of two days. It
:01:29. > :01:34.is particularly beautiful at this time of the year. Me and Scratch
:01:35. > :01:40.were out looking at the wood and Andy Green Day. We have got some
:01:41. > :01:45.people in our audience, they are in disguise and they are watching it
:01:46. > :01:52.and they are from the RSPB. Some of them are wildlife photographers. Not
:01:53. > :01:57.very camouflaged in our studio. They will be taking pictures of you in an
:01:58. > :02:04.unusual habitat, this studio. It is. We will have a look at them at the
:02:05. > :02:08.end. Do I have to put on some sort of flamboyant display? If you want
:02:09. > :02:15.to blat your arms around, that would be good. In Chris's book he explains
:02:16. > :02:20.how a connection with a kestrel was very important to him during his
:02:21. > :02:25.childhood. Tonight we would like to know if a wild animal has ever got
:02:26. > :02:28.that close to you. Send us your photos as evidence to the usual
:02:29. > :02:31.As promised here's our first trip outside for some
:02:32. > :02:35.We're taking you to North-West England, where Andy Kershaw pitched
:02:36. > :02:43.in with the workers who say they've got the best office in Britain.
:02:44. > :02:51.Morecambe Bay, one of Britain's largest estuaries. At low tide, an
:02:52. > :02:57.expanse of sand covers 120 square miles. On a clear day like today you
:02:58. > :03:04.can see the loveliness of Lancashire a couple of miles in the distance
:03:05. > :03:08.that way, and the Lake District just over there. The Romantic poet
:03:09. > :03:14.William Wordsworth used to use these mudflats as a short cut between the
:03:15. > :03:20.two and he said of them, this majestic plane went the sea has
:03:21. > :03:24.retired. The area is famous for its cockle belts, fished for
:03:25. > :03:30.generations. But it has had a troubled past. 23 Chinese cockle
:03:31. > :03:35.pickers drowned here in 2004. Then, after years of abundance, stocks of
:03:36. > :03:40.the shellfish collapse, leading to an eight-year ban. Happily, like now
:03:41. > :03:47.there is news to warm the cockle pickers' heart. The stocks have
:03:48. > :03:52.recovered. So it is time to go cockling. It is a three mile tractor
:03:53. > :03:57.ride to the cockle beds. To preserve the stalks just 100 permits have
:03:58. > :04:01.been granted and only for a month. I am with Michael Wilson and his dad
:04:02. > :04:10.John. Their family has fished here for generations. I understand you
:04:11. > :04:17.have a dance. What is that called? That is the cockle shuffle. I am
:04:18. > :04:25.using how to use this board which softens the sand and helps the
:04:26. > :04:29.cockle 's float to the surface. You rock it backwards and forwards a few
:04:30. > :04:35.times and then you flick them up into the net. Is there a lot of
:04:36. > :04:38.money in it? There is a lot of money in it sometimes, it could be ?2000 a
:04:39. > :04:44.time. How much does it take for them time. How much does it take for them
:04:45. > :04:48.to get to that size? Two or three years, that is just about to end a
:04:49. > :04:58.half years old. I think I am quite good at this. When there
:04:59. > :05:02.eight-year ban, what impact did that have on you? We thought we were all
:05:03. > :05:12.going to have to get proper jobs, go and work in a factory. Muscles are
:05:13. > :05:18.quite good. The Spanish like them. The man protecting the stocks is
:05:19. > :05:21.Doctor Stephen Atkins. He is from the conservation authority. Give us
:05:22. > :05:29.an idea of the ecology of Morecambe Bay. It is very important, it has
:05:30. > :05:35.got shellfish, cockles, muscles further out. It is a very important
:05:36. > :05:39.area. While it is great to see cockling back, it is only for a
:05:40. > :05:45.month. It will return in the autumn if the stocks improved. We have got
:05:46. > :05:50.stops coming through that are ten millimetres now, but they need to be
:05:51. > :05:55.20 millimetres. We hope they are there by the autumn. Mike and John
:05:56. > :06:02.have got ?160 worth of cockles today. Has it been a good day? We
:06:03. > :06:07.have got what we expected, yes, we made a wage again. That is all we
:06:08. > :06:15.really want. You do not want to be rich, you just want to survive. Yes.
:06:16. > :06:19.Mike is our expert guide, but if you do not have that knowledge and
:06:20. > :06:24.experience, Morecambe Bay can be a perilous place. The incoming tides
:06:25. > :06:30.move faster than a trotting horse, or for that matter a speeding
:06:31. > :06:37.schnauzer. It is time to go. Actually, I have come prepared to
:06:38. > :06:44.sample my seafood. There is nothing quite like fresh seafood. It is
:06:45. > :06:56.about simplicity. My recipe is to boil them and eat them. That is
:06:57. > :07:04.fabulous. Would you swap this for any other job? No, not on a day like
:07:05. > :07:08.today. It is a way of life. When you see people getting in the car in the
:07:09. > :07:15.morning going to work or the factory, what do you feel? I feel
:07:16. > :07:17.sorry for them. Look at my office. You are only here for a short space
:07:18. > :07:33.of time, make the most of it. There is a man who loves his job. It
:07:34. > :07:39.is breathtaking. Chris, we talked about the new Forest. You grow up in
:07:40. > :07:43.Southampton, would you have been more attracted to the coast when you
:07:44. > :07:49.were a kid, or would you have gone inland? Bit of both. When I was
:07:50. > :07:56.younger I was into fossil finding. So I used to love the coast. I used
:07:57. > :08:01.to get my father to drive me to lime Regis. I was mainly looking down
:08:02. > :08:05.trying to find things. It was later I got onto the coast of things.
:08:06. > :08:12.Morecambe Bay in the winter is one of the best places in the country
:08:13. > :08:16.for waders and waterfowl. It is spectacular, beautiful place. You
:08:17. > :08:23.started collecting at a young age. And you have your new book, fingers
:08:24. > :08:31.in the sparkle chart which is how your love of nature developed? Yes,
:08:32. > :08:34.it started very young. It was about crawling around and putting things
:08:35. > :08:39.into shoe boxes. It was about owning and keeping animals to start with.
:08:40. > :08:44.Sadly, many of them didn't survive that experience. Would it was part
:08:45. > :08:57.and parcel of my training. This is the Tadpole spoon. I just bend the
:08:58. > :09:02.neck of it. I could dip it into the jamjar and scoop out the tadpoles
:09:03. > :09:08.and move them from one jamjar to another. Why I used to do that, I
:09:09. > :09:19.don't know. When you have tadpoles on a spoon, you are tempted to... I
:09:20. > :09:24.did. Did you? Chris! It is about experimenting when you are younger,
:09:25. > :09:31.they taste like soil, like watery semolina. They are difficult to
:09:32. > :09:38.taste so I used to try one after the other, after the other. The book
:09:39. > :09:41.focuses on you and the age is between six and 16. In your own
:09:42. > :09:47.words, how would you describe yourself as a child? When you are a
:09:48. > :09:52.child, you think you are normal, and it felt that way to start with. I
:09:53. > :09:58.had plenty of friends at school and I we would go out on our bikes and
:09:59. > :10:01.play football. But in adolescence my obsessive interest in natural
:10:02. > :10:07.history and other things, it meant I didn't integrate as well as I might
:10:08. > :10:12.have done. I started to be excluded. None of these people were malicious
:10:13. > :10:17.it's just kids separate from those who are not quite like them. It is
:10:18. > :10:23.part of growing up will stop I was confused as to why I wasn't part of
:10:24. > :10:29.that any longer. Then things became more difficult, to be honest. And
:10:30. > :10:35.quite uncomfortable. Of course, I got quite angry, to be honest with
:10:36. > :10:39.you. I was angry with myself, I didn't understand why, because I was
:10:40. > :10:45.obsessed with wildlife, I couldn't be invited to their parties and get
:10:46. > :10:49.girlfriends. I don't have any self-pity, it was just an artefact
:10:50. > :10:56.of a time when people like myself were not understood. You have this
:10:57. > :11:02.kestrel which is like a through line within the book, how did you come
:11:03. > :11:08.across it and what this bird meant to you? It meant everything. I got
:11:09. > :11:16.the bird in the summer of 1975. I took it from a nest in Ilhee Lee,
:11:17. > :11:23.which is something I have campaigned against. I was so into Cassells, I
:11:24. > :11:31.did apply for a licence, but working class lads didn't get licenses then.
:11:32. > :11:35.Why did you get the kestrel? I wanted to own them, and then I
:11:36. > :11:43.wanted to watch them in the wilds, I didn't want to keep them any more.
:11:44. > :11:48.The kestrel was the sexiest birds in my community, they were the top of
:11:49. > :11:53.the tree, the best bird in the book. I found the nest, took it from the
:11:54. > :12:00.nest and I traingate and flew it every day before school. It used to
:12:01. > :12:04.wear these little bells which I imported in 1974 from Pakistan and
:12:05. > :12:13.they are tied up with kangaroo leather. I got that from a distant
:12:14. > :12:19.uncle in Australia. It was a beautiful sound. I would go out with
:12:20. > :12:26.Mike plastic trainers across wasteland and I would fly the bird.
:12:27. > :12:34.I was unbelievably happy. The bird became everything. I can't remember
:12:35. > :12:39.who won the FA Cup in 1975. I can't remember what I was wearing except
:12:40. > :12:44.when I was with the bird. Everything consolidated around the one thing.
:12:45. > :12:50.It was a remarkable and powerful relationship. It is a beautiful
:12:51. > :12:56.story and beautifully written. You said this story just fell out of
:12:57. > :12:57.you. If you want to read it, then Fingers In The Sparkle Jar is out on
:12:58. > :13:01.Thursday. Chris is one of a lucky few who get
:13:02. > :13:05.to travel the world taking animal photos for a living,
:13:06. > :13:07.as is this man, David Plummer. But David has got a fight
:13:08. > :13:10.on his hands to carry on doing what he loves and here for the first
:13:11. > :13:20.time he explains why. My name is David Plummer and I am
:13:21. > :13:28.very fortunate to be a professional wildlife photographer. Which is my
:13:29. > :13:33.passion in life. It is 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a
:13:34. > :13:41.year. I travel all over the world for between four and six months a
:13:42. > :13:45.year to Africa, Hungary, Romania, Galapagos. Unfortunately, my life
:13:46. > :13:51.and work is being slowed down somewhat in that I have been
:13:52. > :13:57.diagnosed with Parkinson's. It is going to cause me problems. It is a
:13:58. > :14:04.degenerative disease, which has no cure. I noticed seven years ago,
:14:05. > :14:11.just tapping away at the laptop, my arm twitched, my left arm twitch. A
:14:12. > :14:17.week later it twitched again. Now it has developed, as you can see into a
:14:18. > :14:20.severe tremor, which is quite a decision for me to show this.
:14:21. > :14:27.Because this is what I normally hide from people. But I think people need
:14:28. > :14:35.to see it. As a result of all this, I have to take drugs, because this
:14:36. > :14:39.is what does the work for me. When I run out, and that is what is
:14:40. > :14:47.happening now, I am stiffening up and feeling the tremor in my left
:14:48. > :14:52.side, so consequently... One of those and then probably in about
:14:53. > :15:00.half an hour, 45 minutes, I will be OK again. At the moment, the area of
:15:01. > :15:07.photography has taken up my attention is kingfishers. Wow! Look
:15:08. > :15:15.at this bird. This has got to be one of the most dutiful British birds.
:15:16. > :15:21.This is the reason why I do this. I am enjoying the process of following
:15:22. > :15:27.where they are, monitoring their mating process, how well they are
:15:28. > :15:32.doing, as well as getting obsessed with capturing absolutely great
:15:33. > :15:37.images of them. When I sit here looking at this bird, I don't think
:15:38. > :15:44.about disability or Parkinson is. I am just completely focused on this.
:15:45. > :15:49.Another new passion is time-lapse photography, which allows me to
:15:50. > :15:53.speed up natural processes. Some of the favourite time-lapse as I have
:15:54. > :16:00.done around here is the rising Sun coming through the mist. And storm
:16:01. > :16:07.clouds across the sky with the reflection on water. I am speeding
:16:08. > :16:11.up time, which I guess is a contradiction. Speeding up time is
:16:12. > :16:16.certainly something I don't want to do in real life. I don't know how
:16:17. > :16:20.long I have got, but I don't have the luxury of getting up in the
:16:21. > :16:24.morning and procrastinating and saying I can't be bothered doing
:16:25. > :16:31.something. I get up and I said, I have got to do it. I hope when
:16:32. > :16:34.people look at my images of my kingfishers or other wildlife, they
:16:35. > :16:38.are thinking that is quite a good shot somebody who has got a
:16:39. > :16:45.disability, I want someone to look at those images and be inspired by
:16:46. > :16:50.them, find beauty in them and view them as world-class shots. Because
:16:51. > :16:55.that is what I aspire to. My name is David Plummer, and I pinch yourself
:16:56. > :16:57.every day in slight disbelief that this is what I actually do for a
:16:58. > :17:04.living. Thank you to David
:17:05. > :17:05.for sharing his story. And just to emphasize how
:17:06. > :17:08.Parkinson's hasn't stopped him, all these amazing photos
:17:09. > :17:11.from his new book were taken More details about David
:17:12. > :17:15.and Parkinson's Disease can be found through our website
:17:16. > :17:28.and social media. You are a keen photographer, Chris,
:17:29. > :17:36.they were beautiful? Stunning. The hair and the lion covered in mud.
:17:37. > :17:43.What an attitude. Just get on with that guy. Fantastic. FA Cup in 1975,
:17:44. > :17:46.it was West Ham. In law football news...
:17:47. > :17:49.In a few hours, one of the biggest upsets in sporting history
:17:50. > :17:52.could happen, because if Tottenham don't beat Chelsea, Leicester City
:17:53. > :17:56.Leicester fans suffered a nailbiting afternoon yesterday with the eyes
:17:57. > :18:07.Joe spent the day in the city as the dream edged a little closer.
:18:08. > :18:12.Leicester City's match today against Manchester United is probably the
:18:13. > :18:19.biggest in its entire history. While the game takes place in Manchester,
:18:20. > :18:23.100 miles away, how are the fans in Leicester cheering on the Foxes?
:18:24. > :18:33.Where are you watching the game today? Inside the stadium. I am
:18:34. > :18:36.giving up medical treatment. The spirit of the community, everybody
:18:37. > :18:41.coming together and everybody living the dream becoming a reality. Robb,
:18:42. > :18:45.a Leicester fan of 22 years is preparing for the match with his
:18:46. > :18:52.girlfriend and her family. What is your game build-up? I don't wear a
:18:53. > :18:57.shirt when they played. I wore a shirt once this season and they lost
:18:58. > :19:02.2-1. How long have you been a fan? My dad was a big Leicester fan and
:19:03. > :19:06.took me whenever I could. I took my son because I had happy memories.
:19:07. > :19:14.What will happen if it happens today? It is unknown territory. The
:19:15. > :19:20.pub might get a visit. Across the city, this man is watching with his
:19:21. > :19:25.father and son representing three generations of fans. My dad came
:19:26. > :19:28.over from Uganda and he would watch Leicester at the old Filbert Street
:19:29. > :19:34.ground. You haven't been that well of late? I had a heart attack six
:19:35. > :19:40.weeks ago. Are you ready for this, it could be exciting. The excitement
:19:41. > :19:46.won't bother me, I would just leave the room. Are there any pre-game
:19:47. > :19:51.rituals, superstitions? My son has been praying before every game, so
:19:52. > :19:55.he would take out his mosque work and pray. I told him, he's lucky
:19:56. > :20:03.that as a young lad, your home time team is on the cusp of greatness.
:20:04. > :20:07.Have you done your prayers? Not yet. Don't change anything today whatever
:20:08. > :20:12.you do. Leicester is awash with blue and further afield fans from far and
:20:13. > :20:18.wide are preparing for glory. 1961 bottle of whiskey will be cracked if
:20:19. > :20:23.we win. It is time for kick-off and the city holds its breath. But the
:20:24. > :20:30.high spirits take a not as United score an early goal. Leicester get
:20:31. > :20:42.right back in it quickly, with an equaliser. Come on! The tension is
:20:43. > :20:49.proving too much and he has to retire. Sorry lads. The Leicester
:20:50. > :20:55.chances are coming thick and fast, but can they find a winner? Go on,
:20:56. > :20:59.still believe. Unbeaten Leicester couldn't find the winter day, but
:21:00. > :21:04.the dream is still alive. Eight points clear, two games to play. I
:21:05. > :21:11.cannot take it. It is too much. It is just too much.
:21:12. > :21:19.We can feel the stress. Please, take it easy from heart attack point of
:21:20. > :21:23.Now, a Leicester victory was thought so unlikely
:21:24. > :21:26.at the beginning of the season, the odds were a whopping 5000-1,
:21:27. > :21:30.and we met a lad on the show a couple of weeks ago who stands
:21:31. > :21:34.Everyone enjoys it when the bookies lose, and they stand to pay out over
:21:35. > :21:38.To tell us about some other times they got a spanking here's
:21:39. > :21:39.the world's unluckiest bookie, Alex Riley.
:21:40. > :21:44.All these punters have got winning tickets for some of the biggest
:21:45. > :21:47.sporting upsets in history, it's gonna cost me thousands.
:21:48. > :21:50.This one is for ?10 on England to beat Australia
:21:51. > :21:57.I gave 500-1 on that just before Botham scored 149 and Willis
:21:58. > :22:08.The biggest football upset until now, the World Cup 1950,
:22:09. > :22:16.USA 1, England 0, from a time when the Americans were rubbish
:22:17. > :22:25.This one's on the unlikeliest ever male winner of Wimbledon,
:22:26. > :22:37.This one's for Buster Douglas beating Mike Tyson in 1990,
:22:38. > :22:46.Buster was 42-1 in a two-horse race, what was I thinking?
:22:47. > :22:57.You've bled me dry, just please tell me none of you bet
:22:58. > :23:00.on the only British sporting upset with longer odds
:23:01. > :23:03.than Leicester's 5000-1 - Frankie Dettori winning all seven
:23:04. > :23:17.That morning the odds were a combined 200,000-1.
:23:18. > :23:28.I'm ruined, the wife's gonna kill me.
:23:29. > :23:35.What odds would you give on our next film featuring Christine getting her
:23:36. > :23:40.hands dirty with a 61-year-old called Ferguson?
:23:41. > :23:43.If there is one thing that will get me going other than plant it is
:23:44. > :23:51.machinery and engines and this little beauty is an 1955 Ferguson T
:23:52. > :24:00.20, regarded by most folks as the first modern tractor.
:24:01. > :24:08.2016 marks the 70th anniversary of the Ferguson T 20 tractor, otherwise
:24:09. > :24:14.known as the little grey Fergie. It needs a bit of brute force. Is that
:24:15. > :24:17.what it needs? I am helping a fanatic get his beloved little grey
:24:18. > :24:24.Fergie ready for a celebration rally. Martin's family bought the
:24:25. > :24:31.tractor from a local farm in 1967. How much did you pay? ?102 and ten
:24:32. > :24:41.shillings. What do you think the value would be today? ?1500. That is
:24:42. > :24:44.a good buy. But it will never be sold, it will stay in the family and
:24:45. > :24:52.it will go down through the family and till doomsday. The only problem
:24:53. > :24:58.is, Martin's chapter will not start. She will not go. That is a bit sad.
:24:59. > :25:05.Without sounding stupid, you have got some diesel in this? I am a man,
:25:06. > :25:13.of course that is. There is not a lot, mind! We have got fuel, it has
:25:14. > :25:18.got to get through to the engine. Blockage, filters, believed it. As
:25:19. > :25:25.we crack on cleaning the filters and solving our fuel blockage, here is a
:25:26. > :25:31.bit more history. After World War II, something needed to be done to
:25:32. > :25:37.increase food production. So Irish engineer Harry Ferguson designed the
:25:38. > :25:47.T 20 tractor. What makes it so special is this unique hydraulic,
:25:48. > :25:54.3-point linkage system. One, two, three. Ferguson designed all manner
:25:55. > :26:01.of machinery, the linkage system making farming easier and faster. It
:26:02. > :26:06.was genius and modern tractors have used this 3-point linkage system
:26:07. > :26:12.ever since. We need to get the air out. It is like a radiator. What I
:26:13. > :26:17.like about engines is the simplicity. You have got four
:26:18. > :26:25.cylinders and the fuel goes in. It gets sucked in, you compress it,
:26:26. > :26:28.there is a bang and a sparkle and it goes out. That is the basic four
:26:29. > :26:36.stroke engine and it has not changed. That is it, go on, spit
:26:37. > :26:41.your heart out, alas. We have cleaned the fuel blockage and given
:26:42. > :26:49.her an oil change and she is ready for action. Shall we see if she
:26:50. > :26:57.goes? That is it. There we go! Now we can head of to the nearby Castle
:26:58. > :27:01.where the rest of the South Wales Ferguson club are gathered to
:27:02. > :27:09.celebrate 70 years of the Ferguson T 20. Two dedicated members are
:27:10. > :27:15.Caroline and Julie. It is so nice to see female chapter fans. What
:27:16. > :27:21.fascinates you about this one? It is such a lovely old tractor. It is a
:27:22. > :27:28.classic. It is the one. I had mine bought for me by my husband recently
:27:29. > :27:39.as a gift. I pinched my of my husband. And what about this pink
:27:40. > :27:46.seat? A little bit of extra padding. What could be better than the sound
:27:47. > :27:50.of a row of Fergusons all revving up. It is the simplicity of these
:27:51. > :27:55.chapters that I love and it is a real thrill to drive one. It has
:27:56. > :28:00.been a fantastic day and I would like to propose a toast and the
:28:01. > :28:06.toast is, to the little grey Fergie. I hope in 70 years' time she is
:28:07. > :28:13.still on the road and doing well. To the little grey Fergie!
:28:14. > :28:22.She was in her element. That description of a four stroke engine
:28:23. > :28:26.will go down in history. Earlier we asked for photos of animals that had
:28:27. > :28:36.taken a liking to you. Do you want to do the first? This blew into the
:28:37. > :28:43.window and then it flew off? Christopher sent this end. He was
:28:44. > :28:50.taking a picture of this horse and decided to get up close. Which one
:28:51. > :28:57.is Chris Evert? This is Colin with a blackbird 45 years ago. Look at the
:28:58. > :29:02.intensity on his face as he is lowering that worm into the
:29:03. > :29:07.blackbird's man. And this is a lesser spotted Chris Patten in a
:29:08. > :29:11.studio environment. And talking of tadpoles! We will see you tomorrow
:29:12. > :29:13.with Joan Collins.
