Hello and welcome to the Monday one Show with Mat Baker and Alex Jones. | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
With more bad weather on the way, we giving a flood victim may birds eye | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
view of the situation by taking him up in a helicopter. We will also | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
meet the teenager who woke up yesterday to discover her car had | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
been swallowed by her driveway. She will be telling us the whole story. | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
It is remarkable. Zoe Smith is with us tonight, and we are joined in the | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
studio by an actor who used to be Brassed Off and Wild At Heart, but | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
now he has cheered up and calmed down. It is Stephen Tompkinson. Very | :00:54. | :01:03. | |
nice to see you. So, DCI Banks, back on the telly this evening. Come on, | :01:04. | :01:10. | |
get to the question you want to ask. Last time we saw you win Truckers, | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
and we did see a bit more Stephen Tompkinson than we were used to. | :01:16. | :01:30. | |
Indeed. None will defeat me! Ecce homo! | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
Yes, we are joining in with the applause as well. Was that quite | :01:35. | :01:44. | |
liberating experience? It's all behind me now. We did film it in the | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
main square in Nottingham, on a Sunday. It was Father's Day. From | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
3pm until 6pm, I had to do that eight times in front of about 2000 | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
people, most of them who had just come out of the pub. How do you | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
prepare yourself for a scene like that? You stand on top of a truck | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
and take your clothes off. It's all you can do. You are probably glad it | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
was in January. Absolutely. I wouldn't God have around applause | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
then. -- got a round of applause. On that point, our friends in the | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
weather centre tell us we are about to be battered by more rain and | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
gales over the next few days. That those communities who have suffered | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
weeks of flooding, this is looking like a never ending nightmare. Mike | :02:36. | :02:42. | |
Dilger has given one flood victim a new perspective on his plight -- for | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
those communities. It's been like this here for nearly a month, | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
pouring with rain by never before and these beautiful green plains are | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
under three feet of water. The Somerset Levels by nature is a wet | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
place and areas of flooding in winter are not unusual. But now | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
climate change is occurring, with wetter winters and springs, there | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
might be trouble ahead. I am spending the weekend here to see | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
what it is really like and how the people here can begin to get out of | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
this mess. I've been talking to a lot of them, and one word keeps | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
cropping up, why? The environmental people are supposed to look after | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
the environment. The floods have been here now for four weeks. It's | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
not just water, it is septic tanks flowing into the fields. That | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
sewage, that effluent is poisoning the land. The purpose of the wetter | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
lands is to store water. Not to affect the community. On the ground, | :03:43. | :03:49. | |
everyday life is pretty bleak and dismal at the moment, but I want to | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
get a view of the bigger picture. This is Doctor Chris Parker from the | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
University of the West of England who studies how rivers flow and | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
connect with the sea. Together we are taking to the skies. Here we go! | :04:01. | :04:08. | |
You suddenly can see a whole lot more water appear. Look at that! | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
Basically the river is full, the banks are out of the water, but | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
everything else is inundated. The roads are just the same level as all | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
of the fields. Work could be done to raise the level of the roads, so | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
people could get in and out, which would reduce the impact. The locals | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
were want to know how the problem will be solved for them. There are | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
three ways. There is the hydrology, how much is coming in, and then the | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
river channel, how much is going through. Finally, there are the | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
consequences of the damages associated. Last week we met Peter | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
and Liz Nightingale whose home farm affected. Peter is coming up for | :04:53. | :04:59. | |
view of the. His village, much only, has been cut off and we had to fly | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
into Bill -- pick him up -- much only -- Muchelney. You have lived in | :05:06. | :05:12. | |
Muchelney for 30 years. Tell me what you feel, seeing this? We are used | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
to a bit of flooding every winter, but this is far worse than it has | :05:18. | :05:26. | |
ever been in 90 years. The 2000 years it has been a managed | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
landscape, and that needs to carry on. This degree of flooding needs to | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
be controlled. It just needs dredging. What you are doing in | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
dredging is you try to increase the amount of water going through, that | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
there is nowhere on the Somerset Levels for it to drain to stop | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
people who have lived here all their lives work on their river will stop | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
-- on the river. It used to be drenched adequately but not any | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
more. You can't consign this to a watery grave. This country can't | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
afford to give up land. We look at a time when you say enough is enough, | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
I am moving to the Mendips, or the high lands. I might have to move | :06:10. | :06:16. | |
upstairs. Time to get our feet on the ground again. Peter takes me to | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
meet the locals back in the village, who have all gathered for lunch in | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
the church. But how are they bearing up? They are tired and weary but | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
they have decided that they will make the best of a bad job. If only | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
people would take note of the old voices that have been here four | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
years and know exactly how the river flows and how the fields flood, that | :06:40. | :06:46. | |
would help. There seems a strong spirit, lots of laughter and | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
chattering. People are not beaten. No, of course not. Slightly more | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
miserable than usual. From what I have seen and heard the arguments | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
about how to prevent this from happening again complex, and | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
opinions are divided. Irrespective of when the water comes and goes, | :07:09. | :07:16. | |
they will be staying put. Now, where is my helicopter? Good community | :07:17. | :07:25. | |
spirit there. My hopes and thoughts are with them over the next few days | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
with all the bad weather coming. It does seem the bad weather is causing | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
all sorts of quirks. Imagine this, waking up and finding this is where | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
your car used to be. That is exactly what happened to Zoe Smith | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
yesterday, and she is here with us now. Nice to see you have a smile on | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
your face. Tell us, what on earth happened? What did you see when you | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
went outside? I didn't see anything, that was the problem. I woke up, I | :07:53. | :07:59. | |
got dressed, open the door, and I thought, I swore I bought -- parked | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
there. I walked round to the window and thought, the ground is a bit | :08:04. | :08:10. | |
dark. Then I realised that the ground was 30 feet down. Yes, my car | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
has turned on its side and it is the other way up. And it is still in the | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
hole at the moment? What are the thoughts, are you going to keep it | :08:21. | :08:27. | |
there? It's a bit more difficult. We would like to try and get it out, | :08:28. | :08:36. | |
but at the moment it is stuck. You gave your car a name, Bruce. Now | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
he's buried alive. Maybe he is trying to get to Australia. How | :08:42. | :08:48. | |
worried are your parents? The neighbours, everybody? Everybody is | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
worried but it's one of those freak things. The sort of thing that would | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
only happen to me, really. Are your family still in the house? We are in | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
and out. We have very nice neighbours, Suzanne and Mark, who | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
wanted a mention. They put us up last night and cooked dinner, and it | :09:08. | :09:16. | |
was lovely. Toad in the hole? It is too early for jokes, Stephen. After | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
that it is looking for places to stay. We might be able to shed some | :09:23. | :09:29. | |
light on this. One man who knows all about the perils of a sinkhole is | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
Professor Iain Stewart who joins us from Plymouth University. What on | :09:33. | :09:40. | |
earth has caused this sinkhole? Can you explain? The whole of high | :09:41. | :09:49. | |
Wycombe sits on a layer of clay that is ten feet thick. Underneath that | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
is chalk. The trouble with chalk is that it dissolves, so if you get the | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
rainfall trickling through and a little bit of acid, it eats away at | :09:59. | :10:06. | |
the chalk. So you get sinkhole is -- a sinkhole all over England. The | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
average whole is there, but then it sits there and it will collapse into | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
the hole. It can happen really suddenly. Coincidentally you are | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
presenting a Horizon programme on BBC Two about this. Remarkable it | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
came around tonight. You are looking at this globally, what can people | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
learn? One of the big things is it could have tragic consequences. In | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
Florida, which is the sinkhole capital of the world, about a year | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
ago, a sinkhole opened up under the bedroom of a guy called Jeff Bush | :10:46. | :10:53. | |
and he disappeared down and there was a frantic effort. They just did | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
not find him. The key thing is, what seems to be one of the triggers of | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
these things is dramatic changes in the water table. Sometimes it can be | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
too little water, but in a lot of places it is too much. Professor | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
Iain Stewart, thank you for your time. If that footage is anything to | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
go by, a lot of people will be watching. That woman, going down. I | :11:21. | :11:28. | |
hope not, it clashes with DCI Banks! You've seen all the best bits | :11:29. | :11:37. | |
now! Well, we can joke about it, but Zoe, thanks for coming in. And RIP | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
Bruce. If it's any consolation, we had one develop, and we filled with | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
rubble and the land is secure. I'm sure you will be all right. We have | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
booked your car home. If you like your mysteries to be criminal rather | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
than geological, tonight sees the return of Yorkshire's finest | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
copper, DCI Banks. Coincidentally it is on just the same time as the | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
Horizon special. Here is a look at how well his two female colleagues | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
are getting along. If it's a false alarm we can be escalate, and if not | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
we are looking at a suspected child abduction. With your circumstances, | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
I understand if you don't want to be thrown in at the deep end. She is | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
not the first police officer to have a baby in history, you know. DI | :12:26. | :12:33. | |
Morton, we need the child abduction specialist. She is right. I am fine. | :12:34. | :12:42. | |
DCI Banks is back on ITV, 9pm this evening. And you are obviously | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
caught between two very strong female colleagues. We have seen him | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
working alongside them individually, but then Annie Cabot had to go away | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
and have a baby, so now they are both back. And DCI Banks is stuck in | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
the middle. Trying to keep a happy ship. He is very deadpan. Yes, he is | :13:02. | :13:11. | |
quite dour, but it is a dour job he is doing. Is that what distinguishes | :13:12. | :13:19. | |
him? Peter Robinson, who wrote the series of books, he did a lot of | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
interviews with policemen and he said what makes DCI Banks is his | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
ordinariness. His dogged determination. Peter said he keeps a | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
quote with him, written by John Don mother poet. Any man's Minish is me, | :13:32. | :13:40. | |
because I am involved in mankind -- John Donne. He is very married to | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
the job, but he's the sort of policemen you want. As an actor, how | :13:46. | :13:51. | |
hard is it to play somebody who has been previously bought to live in | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
the books of Peter Robinson? Do you stick to it, or is it your own | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
version of Alan Banks? It's sort of has to be. It is difficult | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
truncating the novel into a two-hour episode and you will never be | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
pleasing to the people who have read their books because they have their | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
own character in their head and I always fail to meet up with. I am | :14:12. | :14:19. | |
five inches taller than the DCI Banks that was created. The first | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
thing I did when we did the pilot four years ago was flying out to | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
meet Peter in Florida and assure him that I was going to get as near to | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
the spirit of the character as possible. He keeps in touch | :14:33. | :14:40. | |
regularly. I really enjoyed Wild at Heart which finished in 2012. Do you | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
miss it? Very much. I dream about the animals. Could that comeback? It | :14:47. | :14:57. | |
was a popular series. Absolutely. There were postcard visions of South | :14:58. | :15:06. | |
Africa. I have never been anywhere where you are so aware of nature. It | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
is nice to be part of the food chain! Very much! You love animals. | :15:13. | :15:28. | |
He was petrified. He could not go near the animals! He was like the | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
character Mark Williams played in the Fast Show. He was examining | :15:34. | :15:45. | |
animals from 50 yards away! When he got there, he was petrified, bless | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
him. Tree news, and after a three month consultation, Scotland finally | :15:51. | :15:57. | |
has it's own national tree. Can we guess what it is? It's the Scots | :15:58. | :16:06. | |
Pine. Of course it is! Miranda has been to meet those on the front line | :16:07. | :16:13. | |
in saving our forests. Across the country, our native trees are | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
suffering. The recent arrival of a fungus from Europe is causing | :16:17. | :16:26. | |
disease. There is hope. Since it officially opened in 2000, Kew | :16:27. | :16:34. | |
Gardens's millennium seed bank has collected seeds from 50 countries | :16:35. | :16:37. | |
around the world, replanting forests from as far away as Madagascar. The | :16:38. | :16:45. | |
recent spate of diseases has turned their attentions much closer to | :16:46. | :16:53. | |
home. Most of continental Europe has 35% tree cover while Britain has | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
15%. We cannot afford to lose more of this habitat. Claire is | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
coordinating the project to help save our native trees. We need to | :17:03. | :17:08. | |
make sure we have seed collections from right across the country, every | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
part of the UK in which these species occur. Saving seeds for the | :17:13. | :17:19. | |
future is complex. Ian Parkinson, the Woodlands manager here, it is | :17:20. | :17:29. | |
collecting seeds. We throw one up into the canopy and it comes down | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
the other side. We grabbed it and shaking vigorously. Seeds needs to | :17:36. | :17:46. | |
be collected when the -- when they are ripe. Shaking the tree should | :17:47. | :17:54. | |
guarantee prime seeds. We are looking for a little white seed in | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
there and for it to be full. That is a seed and looking around, I think | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
we have a pretty good collection. Different trees need different | :18:03. | :18:10. | |
collection techniques. This large beech tree needs to be climbed. I | :18:11. | :18:17. | |
have to say, it has been awhile since I climbed like this. It is | :18:18. | :18:28. | |
hard work. Ian needs to collect 300 different seeds from the tree. You | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
can see how different they are. They are individually placed on the | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
branch and if I give it a poll, there is no amount of shaking that | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
would have got that on the ground. -- April. The seeds are then taken | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
to the laboratories. After they are dried and clean, they are x-rayed to | :18:47. | :18:53. | |
reveal imperfections. Be healthy ones are the ones which are solid | :18:54. | :19:02. | |
and white. -- the healthy ones... These look like they have been | :19:03. | :19:09. | |
partially eaten. Before the seeds are put into final storage, they are | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
packed into airtight glass containers to prepare them for a | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
long stint in the big freeze. It is -20 degrees and I only have 20 | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
minutes. At this temperature, I would get hypothermia quite quickly | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
but it preserves many of the seeds for hundreds of years. The coolest | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
thing is that this is the most bio diverse place on the planet. There | :19:33. | :19:40. | |
are 33,000 species kept here. There are challenges. They have discovered | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
that some of our native seeds die if they are dried too much, so they | :19:45. | :19:51. | |
need even colder solutions. We are starting some research now to look | :19:52. | :19:58. | |
at conservation for acorns. We take at the embryo from the seeds, and | :19:59. | :20:04. | |
the embryo is plunged into liquid nitrogen and we are carrying out | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
various experiments to see the best procedure to use. It is really | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
reassuring to know that we have the technology to ensure the survival of | :20:15. | :20:20. | |
our native tree species, whatever the future throws at us. Christine | :20:21. | :20:31. | |
Walkden is here. You used to work in the same place we saw Miranda. | :20:32. | :20:40. | |
Absolutely, 37 years ago. You are the perfect person to talk us | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
through what we have. This is one of the largest seeds in the world and | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
can get up to 17 kilograms. You can model it. That is the biggest. That | :20:50. | :20:57. | |
is not made of plastic, it is real. Absolutely, it is real. Let's look | :20:58. | :21:10. | |
at it in its glory. It is a big tree and has a foot canopy. If that hit | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
you on the head, it will cause a headache. It is the Coco De Mare | :21:17. | :21:24. | |
plant. You would not believe if you sneeze, you would lose the seeds. | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
They are begonias. They are the smallest seeds we deal with. Then | :21:30. | :21:41. | |
you have unusual seeds like the banksias. DCI Banksia? Very good! | :21:42. | :22:01. | |
How long can these seeds survive in this state? One of the oldest seeds | :22:02. | :22:09. | |
to have germinated and produced a plant which is about two metres high | :22:10. | :22:21. | |
is the Methuselah palm tree. Records to show that the Arctic Lupin have | :22:22. | :22:31. | |
germinated after 32,000 years! They can grow. The seeds, if you keep | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
them cool, dark and dry, they will last. It is not dry at the moment. | :22:38. | :22:45. | |
We've just had the wettest January since records began - what one piece | :22:46. | :22:48. | |
of advice would you give to anyone who's garden is underwater? Do | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
absolutely nothing. Keep off the ground. The worst thing you can do | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
is squeeze the soil. Let it rain and then you can talk about doing | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
things. You will do more damage now if you go on it. We will have you | :23:02. | :23:09. | |
back in a few weeks. Absolutely. Nowadays we expect to see news | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
pictures from around the world within minutes. But early | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
photographers had a far harder job getting their shots - especially on | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
the battlefield. Here's a modern photojournalist's tribute to a | :23:19. | :23:25. | |
pioneer of his trade. My name is Charles Dooley and I am a | :23:26. | :23:28. | |
photographer. I have come to Lancashire to find out more about a | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
man who lived in this village. This is a photograph that inspired me | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
when I started my career. It was taken by Roger Fenton in the Crimean | :23:40. | :23:46. | |
War a years ago. He was a pioneer of photography and one of the first on | :23:47. | :23:49. | |
the battlefield. When I first saw this image, I was drawn to it, | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
wondering how something so deceptively simple can create so | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
much emotion and say so much about war. His work in the Crimea startled | :23:58. | :24:05. | |
the public. Many had never even seen photographs before, let alone a | :24:06. | :24:13. | |
war. It was devastating. 25,000 British people died, mostly from | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
disease. Since I started working as a documentary photographer ten years | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
ago, I have been to many conflict areas around the world. I am trying | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
to tell the stories of those caught up in terrible circumstances. I was | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
injured two years ago in Afghanistan and during my recovery, I realised | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
the similarities between myself and Roger Fenton. What I tried to do was | :24:35. | :24:43. | |
revealed the strength and resilience of people in overcoming adversity, | :24:44. | :24:46. | |
rather than succumbing to it. Like the children in Afghanistan who have | :24:47. | :24:52. | |
only known war. I think Roger Fenton offered the same ideals. It was a | :24:53. | :25:00. | |
big, logistical exercise. He had to take several cameras, horses, a | :25:01. | :25:09. | |
wagon, and lenses. The wagon is a converted wine merchant's one. I | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
know, following my accident, I have restrictions. Was it similar with | :25:15. | :25:21. | |
Roger Fenton? Absolutely right. It was a long process, photography. The | :25:22. | :25:28. | |
war lasted more than two years. The British and French were fighting the | :25:29. | :25:30. | |
Russians over who control the Ottoman Empire. It was the victims | :25:31. | :25:39. | |
who went in front of the lens. I think their expressions and their | :25:40. | :25:41. | |
faces are telling you what they have been through. It was a man who is | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
deeply traumatised. I do not know what he lost but he is deeply | :25:47. | :25:52. | |
exhausted. These portraits say more about war than any picture of a | :25:53. | :26:00. | |
soldier firing a gun. I have come to Stonyhurst College because I wanted | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
to see another side of Roger Fenton's work. There is an | :26:05. | :26:12. | |
incredible archive of his work. The curator said the images of the local | :26:13. | :26:19. | |
landscape are among some of her favourite images. This is where you | :26:20. | :26:27. | |
live, this is his roots. It is after the trauma of the Crimean War when | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
he returned home. When you look there is a lot of affection and | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
emotion in some of these images. Even took his camera around the | :26:39. | :26:41. | |
college. This was just down the corridor. An incredible photograph | :26:42. | :26:48. | |
and I have not seen before. Although it is different, it reminds me of | :26:49. | :26:52. | |
the photograph of the Crimea. The sense of space and the light | :26:53. | :26:55. | |
streaming through, a beautiful image. It is very monumental. So | :26:56. | :27:02. | |
much is being told. Would you like to see some more? Absolutely. What I | :27:03. | :27:08. | |
find fascinating, looking at his work, is that his inspiration came | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
from painting. There were no photographers before him. This is a | :27:14. | :27:21. | |
classic example. It is an 18th-century landscape. It reminds | :27:22. | :27:29. | |
me of the work from the Crimea. It is simple but tells a lot. | :27:30. | :27:35. | |
Absolutely. At a time when technology made it easier to take | :27:36. | :27:47. | |
photographs, the important thing we can take from Roger Fenton is the | :27:48. | :27:52. | |
time and consideration before he took a photograph. It is that time | :27:53. | :27:56. | |
and consideration that makes his photographs so powerful. You could | :27:57. | :28:04. | |
stare at that for hours. Joe Crowley is here. Joe, Roger Fenton wasn't | :28:05. | :28:08. | |
just a war and landscape photographer, was he? This is the | :28:09. | :28:13. | |
sort of camera that he would have used. I have been learning how it | :28:14. | :28:19. | |
works. You can see some of the pictures here. You put this liquid | :28:20. | :28:25. | |
over a glass plate and drain it off to leave a sticky gum. You put it | :28:26. | :28:30. | |
into a silver nitrate bath and when it comes out, there is no daylight. | :28:31. | :28:37. | |
Remarkable to think he was doing that in a war zone. Incredible. It | :28:38. | :28:46. | |
is technically difficult and I may have brushed your face out, Alex | :28:47. | :28:53. | |
wrote I am so sorry. I am a headless person! This is the bit where you | :28:54. | :29:01. | |
have ten seconds to get the development over the glass plate and | :29:02. | :29:09. | |
I did not manage to do it. That's all for tonight. Thanks, Stephen. | :29:10. | :29:12. | |
DCI Banks starts tonight 9pm on ITV1. Tomorrow - the undisputed | :29:13. | :29:15. | |
