:00:12. > :00:15.Good evening. I Matt Baker. I am Alex Jones. On tonight's programme:

:00:15. > :00:23.Diminutive One Show wildlife photographer mistaken for lunch by

:00:23. > :00:27.a big bird. The nation's podgy pets are put on a diet. Finally, news

:00:27. > :00:37.reading at night of the round subjected to a dodgy One Show

:00:37. > :00:42.

:00:42. > :00:50.impersonation. -- night of the Brilliant! We have to say thank you

:00:50. > :01:00.for being such a big sport, so Trevor McDonald! When you hear the

:01:00. > :01:07.bongs, do you automatically go into newsreader mode? I am getting over

:01:07. > :01:11.it slowly! If I bet you don't stop feeling that bars. In Australia, I

:01:11. > :01:16.heard a similar piece of music and I was frightened. I thought I was

:01:16. > :01:20.in the wrong place and that was terrifying. If we have uncovered a

:01:21. > :01:27.remarkable photograph of your good self. If you do this on Thursday,

:01:27. > :01:32.you could get into trouble. What is going on here? Can you remember?

:01:32. > :01:36.What is that? It is you with a hosepipe and a pair of shorts.

:01:36. > :01:43.know that was not during the hosepipe ban! I could get into

:01:43. > :01:49.trouble. -- I hope that was not. that your gardening outfit? I am

:01:49. > :01:54.not sure those shorts are allowed any more! This is a family show!

:01:54. > :01:58.love that you have blanked that from your memory. I am doing it

:01:58. > :02:04.even now! No more embarrassing photographs but we will be talking

:02:04. > :02:06.to you about your new series later. Cases of super fit and healthy

:02:06. > :02:11.people suffering heart problems have been highlighted in the news

:02:12. > :02:16.recently. According to research, to match extreme exercise can damage

:02:16. > :02:19.your heart. Iwan Thomas, Olympic medallist, was concerned for his

:02:19. > :02:24.own well-being and went to find out more.

:02:24. > :02:30.The many, exercises done out of necessity rather than pleasure. For

:02:30. > :02:35.these amateur athletes, they take taking fit to another level. --

:02:35. > :02:39.keeping fit. They are part of a growing number of people taking up

:02:39. > :02:45.extreme endurance sports. I train six days a week, anywhere from two-

:02:45. > :02:50.and-a-half hours a day to two sessions a day. We always tried to

:02:50. > :02:53.be the time that we got previously. Sometimes I run to work, sometimes

:02:53. > :02:58.I write and I am sometimes the first person in the swimming-pool

:02:58. > :03:02.in the morning. As a professional athlete I always pushed myself to

:03:02. > :03:06.my absolute limit and beyond that pain barrier in search of Peak

:03:06. > :03:11.Performance and health. Now I am concerned. New research suggests

:03:11. > :03:14.that training too hard can do you more harm than good. Extreme

:03:14. > :03:18.endurance exercise can cause irreversible damage to the heart.

:03:18. > :03:24.It is thought that repeated prolonged exercise can cause small

:03:24. > :03:27.areas of damage which affect the way the heart functions. Professor

:03:27. > :03:32.White from Liverpool John Moores University was one of the academics

:03:32. > :03:36.involved in the study. We know that the heart is under strain during

:03:36. > :03:40.exercise. One of my questions for these ultra endurance nutters, the

:03:40. > :03:45.guys that do prolonged exercise over and again, I wonder if this

:03:45. > :03:48.can be detrimental to the heart. We showed that six of the athletes,

:03:48. > :03:53.half of the population that we tested, actually has this damage to

:03:53. > :03:57.the heart. That worries me because as an athlete I was always taught

:03:57. > :04:01.that I should train harder than everyone else and I would be

:04:01. > :04:05.stronger, fitter, faster and better than them. After 10 years of

:04:05. > :04:10.training so hard, have I damaged myself? The bottom line is that we

:04:10. > :04:15.do not know. I should get myself tested to find out if a career of

:04:15. > :04:19.training to excess has damaged my heart beyond repair. I will not be

:04:19. > :04:24.alone. I will be joined by a local triathletes who has been competing

:04:24. > :04:30.for over a decade in triathlon. have never thought whether my heart

:04:30. > :04:35.is damaged. What affects am I doing to it for later years? This will be

:04:35. > :04:41.interesting. We have both pushed ourselves for more than the average

:04:41. > :04:45.person for 10 years. Could we have put our hearts and Rhys? A reason

:04:45. > :04:52.why endurance exercise is problematic is that it puts stress

:04:52. > :04:57.on the heart. It is a pumping very dramatically and the hormones are

:04:57. > :05:01.rising. That is all problematic for the heart. This is what the blood

:05:01. > :05:06.sounds like when it goes through the valves in the heart. Currently

:05:06. > :05:09.the Government recommends that adults between the ages of 19 to 64

:05:09. > :05:13.should do two-and-a-half hours of moderate intensity exercise every

:05:13. > :05:17.week. This sort of exercise Professor White is talking about is

:05:17. > :05:22.on a different scale. Endurance exercise can take the heart rate to

:05:22. > :05:27.an extremely high level when done over a prolonged period. The heart

:05:27. > :05:30.is beating very fast, but also very forcibly, to overcome the

:05:30. > :05:34.increasing blood pressure that we get during exercise. It is during

:05:34. > :05:38.this period of time that it is under the greatest stress. If there

:05:38. > :05:42.is a problem with a heart, we are going to see it. I am properly

:05:42. > :05:51.nervous. I think this test will be a complete eye-opener for me.

:05:51. > :05:55.are going to stop now. Consultant cardiologist John specialises in

:05:55. > :05:59.Sport and exercise medicine. He is worried about the increase in

:05:59. > :06:05.middle-aged men undertaking endurance sports. Men over the age

:06:05. > :06:09.of 35, at the, the scores of, and death is actually a heart attack. -

:06:09. > :06:13.- the most common cause of premature death is actually a heart

:06:13. > :06:16.attack. If you have high blood pressure, diabetes, if you smoke,

:06:17. > :06:24.you should see the doctor to make sure that you are well enough to

:06:24. > :06:28.take an event like that on. Critics of this research so that it was

:06:28. > :06:33.such a small study that more long- term research will be necessary to

:06:33. > :06:37.prove that damage to the heart can occur. The tests are over. Now the

:06:37. > :06:42.results are in. Both of us will find out if years of exercise have

:06:42. > :06:47.damaged our hearts. All the investigations are normal. You are

:06:47. > :06:51.fit to continue training. Iwan Thomas. Right. The hard was

:06:51. > :06:58.functioning beautifully and we did not see any problems on the ECG

:06:58. > :07:04.tracing and no abnormal rhythms. In summary, OK. A few more years left!

:07:04. > :07:09.Thank you. Is there such a thing as too much exercise? Should we really

:07:09. > :07:12.be pushing ourselves to the limit when we want to get fit? Moderate

:07:12. > :07:16.intensity and moderate Duration activity is beneficial for the

:07:16. > :07:21.heart. We should be promoting physical activity, without a shadow

:07:21. > :07:24.of a doubt. It is only at the extreme end of the spectrum that we

:07:25. > :07:33.see dramatic changes. Dr Mark Porter is here to shed some

:07:33. > :07:40.light on the subject for none -- non-Olympians. Should people be

:07:40. > :07:44.worried? I don't think so. You could be worried if you are a couch

:07:44. > :07:48.potato. Training will do you good. It is about moderate intensity and

:07:48. > :07:52.moderate Duration. I would even include the London Marathon as long

:07:52. > :07:57.as you prepare properly and do not try to beat the world record. It is

:07:57. > :08:01.about intensity and not doing too much. You can monitor that using a

:08:01. > :08:05.cardiac training range. Look on the internet for that. It basically

:08:05. > :08:09.means taking your pulse rate and keeping it within a healthy rate.

:08:09. > :08:19.You can use a heart-rate monitor and gymnasiums have them attached

:08:19. > :08:20.

:08:20. > :08:27.to the machines. You should never go above your maximum ideal heart

:08:27. > :08:35.rate for your age. If you are 40, that is about 120-150. Less than

:08:35. > :08:41.that and it is wasting your time and any more is putting you over --

:08:41. > :08:47.under stress. And what else can you do? As you get fitter, you have to

:08:47. > :08:52.push yourself harder, so it adapts with you. As we saw from that

:08:52. > :08:57.photograph, you are really fit. Do you do much exercise? I must

:08:57. > :09:01.confess that I occasionally go to the gym. I put it as likely as that.

:09:01. > :09:06.You know that funny thing, you never tell yourself that it is

:09:06. > :09:10.wonderful to go, but having been, you come back feeling much better.

:09:10. > :09:16.And for some bizarre reason you feel a sense of virtue that you did

:09:16. > :09:22.something that you think is good for you. On the way to the part in

:09:22. > :09:26.the evening after playing tennis! Get the old endorphins pumping.

:09:26. > :09:30.will be impressed with our wildlife photographer because Jamie Crawford

:09:30. > :09:34.did some cardiovascular during office hours to capture the perfect

:09:34. > :09:38.wildlife photograph. Keep those knees Up!

:09:38. > :09:41.The chase of any predator as it hunts its prey is captivating to

:09:41. > :09:47.watch. Some of the most exhilarating and difficult to

:09:47. > :09:51.photograph of those in full flight. I went to counter the moment just

:09:51. > :10:00.before it strikes its brave. The best way to do that is to make sure

:10:00. > :10:05.that the play is made. -- make sure that the animal it is chasing his

:10:05. > :10:10.me. I am going to allow myself to be hunted down by a killing machine.

:10:10. > :10:14.The peregrine falcon is built to strike at speed. Lloyd is going to

:10:14. > :10:18.help me get that killer shot. He is a professional bird trainer. I

:10:18. > :10:24.would really like to get that moment of impact when it is about

:10:24. > :10:29.to grab what it is chasing. How on earth can I do that? You want it

:10:29. > :10:33.coming right up the camera lens? Yes. How can we tempt her? I will

:10:33. > :10:37.use this, which they are trained to chase. If I can hold this just

:10:37. > :10:42.above your camera lens, and ultimately let her take it, you

:10:42. > :10:47.will get that strike. Is it going to take my head off? You have to

:10:47. > :10:51.make sure that she has a clear run over the top, somehow. I am not

:10:52. > :10:56.sure that this is a good idea! Even without the risk of several talents

:10:56. > :11:02.near my face, speed is the next problem. This bird will be hurtling

:11:02. > :11:06.towards me at an estimated 60 mph. Getting a photograph in focus will

:11:06. > :11:10.be tricky. Earlier on, to get my eye in, I set out to shoot

:11:10. > :11:15.something that would move towards me at high speed. But in a

:11:15. > :11:22.controlled manner. And ideally something that is not armed with

:11:22. > :11:29.deadly talons. But photographing something that speed has its

:11:29. > :11:34.problems. -- at speed. These tennis balls are travelling too fast for

:11:34. > :11:39.the auto focus of my camera. I have manually focused to a couple of

:11:39. > :11:42.metres in front of me. The good news is that the camera can shoot

:11:42. > :11:46.eight frames a second which gives me a real chance of getting the

:11:47. > :11:50.photograph that I want. These balls fly less than half the speed that

:11:50. > :11:54.the peregrine falcon can reach. When they get faster, I need to

:11:54. > :12:02.increase the depth of field. That means increasing the amount of the

:12:02. > :12:09.picture that is sharp. I am trying to be as brave as possible without

:12:09. > :12:13.getting hit. Practising is all very well, but ball's bounce. It is time

:12:13. > :12:23.for the real thing. Peregrine falcons fly at high speed to catch

:12:23. > :12:41.

:12:41. > :12:46.their prey by surprise. And they Now you know what it is like to

:12:46. > :12:55.have 60 mph or falcon coming at you. There are even tricks. We start

:12:55. > :12:59.cutting it fine. That was my forehead! The problem is that he is

:12:59. > :13:04.coming at such an angle and so fast that I cannot track him. I am only

:13:04. > :13:08.getting half the bird. I am going to try and watch the bird with one

:13:08. > :13:15.eye and the camera with the other. You can keep him in frame the whole

:13:15. > :13:21.time by doing that and hopefully get the photograph that you want.

:13:21. > :13:25.Better, but still not that killer shot with the talons out. But we

:13:25. > :13:35.have a second falcon trained to grab the lower from the ground.

:13:35. > :13:36.

:13:36. > :13:44.After a day of high-speed failure inches from those talents, I

:13:44. > :13:48.finally got it. The view to a kill. Brilliant. If that dummy had gone a

:13:49. > :13:53.couple of centimetres further forward it could have been lethal!

:13:53. > :13:58.Your son Jack is a photographer, isn't he? That is right. I hope he

:13:58. > :14:04.will make their life of this. He has a company, Jack Ross and

:14:05. > :14:13.photography. What type of photography? Anything that people

:14:13. > :14:16.will employ him for. He took this, of you doing some painting. Yes, I

:14:16. > :14:20.think Jack wanted to record the fact that I dabbled badly in

:14:20. > :14:25.acrylics. He wanted some evidence of that because he is a very good

:14:25. > :14:32.artist and I am not. You are there relaxing, do you always wear a suit

:14:32. > :14:42.to relax? I try to revive it is being taken by my son. He makes me

:14:42. > :14:48.look like I fit the part. -- why try to if I am being taken by my

:14:48. > :14:55.son. You are doing some travelogue now. The Mississippi is the current

:14:55. > :15:00.one. It was a great idea because of the majesty of the river. It

:15:00. > :15:06.touches the lives of people in 31 states. We started off in New

:15:06. > :15:11.Orleans and you get a slice of civil history, the civil war,

:15:11. > :15:16.slavery, plantations, and music, Elvis Presley. And to get to meet

:15:16. > :15:24.people like Morgan Freeman, who has a blues club in Mississippi.

:15:24. > :15:29.were going to say that you have in -- interviewed lots of famous

:15:29. > :15:33.people but you were nervous about meeting Morgan Freeman. Yes, it is

:15:33. > :15:38.out of in for me. I interview politicians and it is difficult to

:15:38. > :15:41.stop them being interviewed at these days, as you probably agree.

:15:41. > :15:46.We were not sure that we would get him and that he would do the

:15:46. > :15:52.interview. I said to my colleagues, I tell you what, I will talk to him

:15:52. > :15:55.for 15 minutes about invaders. He did the film, of course. I think

:15:55. > :16:00.that would be a good way to introduce myself and it worked. At

:16:00. > :16:05.the end of it, I said would you mind giving us an interview on

:16:05. > :16:14.camera? And he said, do you have to ask? It was one of the most

:16:14. > :16:17.wonderful moment of my life but I Let's look at one of the most

:16:17. > :16:23.wonderful moments of your life. What do you remember about growing

:16:23. > :16:29.up in this area? I still remember my childhood as being a lot of

:16:29. > :16:39.freedom. I would get up in the morning, aged four, five, and go

:16:39. > :16:43.

:16:43. > :16:53.hand up my best friend. And we would just run. It is that voice.

:16:53. > :16:58.And he went on to tell you that his influential within his community,?

:16:58. > :17:03.He had a great influence. Long after the civil rights legislation,

:17:03. > :17:06.Proms were still and mixed. The white children went to one prom and

:17:06. > :17:11.the black kids went to another. Morgan Freeman was instrumental in

:17:12. > :17:17.changing that. He paid for a Prom in which everybody could mix. And

:17:17. > :17:21.he is justly proud of that. For us, it was an extraordinary thing to

:17:21. > :17:25.remember, that so long after the civil rights legislation in the

:17:25. > :17:30.1960s, these practices still occurred. That was what we found,

:17:30. > :17:32.making these films on Mississippi. There were so many slices of

:17:32. > :17:36.American life which one could observe and so many historical

:17:36. > :17:41.moments which one could look back on. The Mighty Mississippi starts

:17:41. > :17:47.next Tuesday at 9pm on ITV1. His these times of austerity, some

:17:47. > :17:50.people go to any lengths to save a few pennies. A Arthur Smith has

:17:50. > :17:57.taken to marching up to the houses where famous people lived and

:17:57. > :18:01.demanding a free bed for the night. It has worked so far.

:18:01. > :18:06.My quest to sleep in the homes where famous British people lived

:18:06. > :18:10.has often meant an improvised bed. But there is no camp bed or

:18:10. > :18:18.slipping back tonight, because the former home of the writer George

:18:19. > :18:24.Eliot has, conveniently, become a hotel. George Eliot was born near

:18:24. > :18:28.Nuneaton in Warwickshire in 1819. The town's settings and characters

:18:28. > :18:33.would later inspire her classic novels, like The Mill On The Floss

:18:33. > :18:38.and Middlemarch. To clear up any confusion, I should say George

:18:38. > :18:44.Eliot was a pen name. She was really Mary Anne Evans, the

:18:44. > :18:51.daughter of the local estate manager. And therein lies a tale.

:18:51. > :18:55.Marianne's father looked after the estate for a local family. Two

:18:55. > :19:00.centuries later, it is still owned by the same family and the

:19:00. > :19:05.farmhouse where Mary Anne was born is still the estate manager's home.

:19:05. > :19:08.Her father must have been held in very high respect. And Mary and as

:19:08. > :19:14.well. She would have been allowed to go where she wanted, when she

:19:14. > :19:19.wanted. And she was allowed to use the library to read and further

:19:19. > :19:27.education. And what a library it was, and is. Many of the books

:19:27. > :19:31.would have been here in Mary and's time. She may not have realised at

:19:31. > :19:41.the time, but she was soaking up these unusual surroundings for her

:19:41. > :19:48.subsequent career as a writer. In one of her first stories, the house

:19:48. > :19:53.appears as the castellated house of grey tinted stone. Another setting

:19:53. > :19:57.inspiring scenes for her books was Griff house, once an ivy-clad

:19:57. > :20:04.farmhouse, it became the family home shortly after Mary Anne was

:20:04. > :20:09.born. She was a very clever young girl. You s, her education had to

:20:09. > :20:14.finish 1836, because her mother was dying. So she had to come back here

:20:14. > :20:20.and help run the farm, but she was intelligent and her father saw that

:20:20. > :20:26.and was happy to pay for extra tuition for her. In 1849, after her

:20:26. > :20:32.father died, Mary Anne moved to London to seek her literary fortune.

:20:32. > :20:37.Eventually, she went to London, as we all must. Yes. Where she met all

:20:37. > :20:40.sorts of radical bohemian people, and probably had an affair with the

:20:40. > :20:45.man who owned the Westminster Review, for which she acted as

:20:45. > :20:50.assistant editor for several years. And there, she met most of literary

:20:50. > :20:53.London. She also met and began a relationship with the writer and

:20:53. > :20:58.philosopher George Henry Lewes. Through his encouragement, she

:20:58. > :21:01.began writing novels. How did she become George Eliot? She was living

:21:01. > :21:06.with George Henry Lewes, but could not marry him because he was

:21:06. > :21:11.already married. She wanted to avoid the equivalent of the tabloid

:21:11. > :21:17.press getting on to the story and saying that George Henry Lewes'

:21:17. > :21:22.common-law wife has written a book, so she used a pen name. She called

:21:22. > :21:26.herself George, and she said Elliott was a solid sounding name.

:21:26. > :21:31.Nobody knows exactly where the young Mary Anne Evans would have

:21:31. > :21:36.slept when she lived here, but she certainly wrote about this attic.

:21:36. > :21:40.George Eliot's novel The Mill On The Floss was largely

:21:40. > :21:47.autobiographical. And this is the room where her principal character,

:21:47. > :21:53.Maggie, would come on wet days, not to sow or paint Ornette, but to

:21:53. > :21:58.drive nails into a dull to vent her frustration. "three nails driven

:21:58. > :22:05.into the head commemorated as many crises in Maggie's nine years of

:22:05. > :22:10.the earthly struggle". I was thinking overnight about Mary

:22:10. > :22:14.Anne's obvious frustrations growing up here. A very bright girl facing

:22:14. > :22:18.a constrained life ahead of her. But while she did manage to leave

:22:18. > :22:22.that behind, she obviously never forgot her formative years in

:22:22. > :22:27.Warwickshire. Her brilliant and witty observations of the people

:22:27. > :22:35.and places of her youth pulse through her best fiction. She ended

:22:35. > :22:39.her days as one of Britain's most celebrated novelists.

:22:39. > :22:44.She was not just a fine Victorian novelist, she was also a poet. We

:22:44. > :22:51.understand you are a fan of poetry? I was made to like poetry. In

:22:51. > :22:56.school, we were made to learn long passages and stand in the sun and

:22:56. > :23:00.recite to any passers-by. Did you come to love it? I had come to love

:23:00. > :23:05.it. I have always taken books of poetry with me when I went to

:23:05. > :23:09.places like Beirut, when they were fighting. It was relaxing. Each it

:23:09. > :23:14.is just as well that you like it, because we asked our viewers to

:23:14. > :23:22.send in limericks about you. We will see how many we can read.

:23:22. > :23:27.their broadcastable? We will see how many we can do in 45 seconds.

:23:27. > :23:30.The newsreader remembered forever. A bespectacled fellow named Trevor.

:23:30. > :23:34.McDonald his name, and massive his fame, a talent both gentle and

:23:34. > :23:38.clever. There was a young man named Trevor,

:23:38. > :23:41.who always preceded the weather. The most eloquent of men as he read

:23:41. > :23:45.the News at Ten, no better newsreader was ever.

:23:45. > :23:49.There was a young man called Trevor, who decided to report the news for

:23:49. > :23:53.ever. He travelled far and near, and then relaxed with a beer,

:23:53. > :23:56.before spending the evening in leather. Had a good day find that

:23:56. > :24:00.out? A wonderful night called Sir Trevor,

:24:00. > :24:04.at newsreading is terribly clever. When you hear Big Ben bong, you

:24:04. > :24:07.can't go wrong. I wish he could go on forever.

:24:07. > :24:12.From the Trinidad Macdonald clan, comes a newsreading giant of a man.

:24:12. > :24:18.The whole nation loves Trevor, may he go on forever - he is the pin-up

:24:18. > :24:22.of everyone's gran! Are a must take you guys with me. You could do my

:24:22. > :24:25.career some good. In his 20 years anchoring the News

:24:25. > :24:28.at Ten, Sir Trevor introduced for thousands of light-hearted items,

:24:28. > :24:34.which officially became known as "and finallys". So Sir Trevor,

:24:34. > :24:37.would you do us the honour? finely tonight on The One Show, to

:24:37. > :24:42.Bradford, where Angellica Bell brings us news of the final

:24:42. > :24:47.preparations for the animal games. Yes, Trevor, you join us at a

:24:47. > :24:56.critical moment. British hopeful Deco is at the starting line, ready

:24:56. > :25:04.for his 180 qualifier. -- 100 metre qualifier. Something is definitely

:25:04. > :25:08.wrong with this picture. And this one. And this one. In fact, there

:25:08. > :25:13.are over 6 million obese cats and dogs in the UK. Figures even

:25:13. > :25:17.suggest that a quarter of all rabbits are obese, too. 84% of

:25:17. > :25:22.these pets' owner has mistakenly believe them to be the right weight,

:25:22. > :25:27.and this compounds a serious problem. We are in the middle of a

:25:27. > :25:30.pet obesity epidemic. It is having a huge impact on their health and

:25:30. > :25:35.their quality of life. We are getting the same weight related

:25:35. > :25:42.problems we see in people - arthritis, diabetes, heart disease.

:25:42. > :25:47.It is sad. A to combat this, the UK's leading pet charity, the PDSA,

:25:47. > :25:53.has come up with a solution that is more carrot and stick. Becker,

:25:53. > :25:57.Samantha, Fifi and 15 other podgy pets will spend six months working

:25:57. > :26:04.out, dieting and toning. The Crown will be the -- the prize will be

:26:04. > :26:09.the crowd of pet fit champion 2012. How did Samantha get so big? I had

:26:09. > :26:13.got a 32 rabbits, because I rescue them. She just exploded. No thing

:26:13. > :26:17.to do with what you are feeding her? And no, because the other

:26:17. > :26:21.rabbits are slim. But she was getting fatter and fatter. The

:26:22. > :26:31.other rabbits run around the garden, but she would not move. She would

:26:31. > :26:35.sit there like a blob. He was getting a full bowl of food price

:26:35. > :26:40.today. And as he grew, he got a bigger bowl, and he would have what

:26:40. > :26:47.was left on our plates. Have you had to change your lifestyle?

:26:47. > :26:55.Definitely no treats whatsoever, from a packet of crisps to a

:26:55. > :27:03.biscuit in the morning. Fifi got fat because she was found starving

:27:03. > :27:06.as a kitten. I think that fear has stayed with her. At any opportunity,

:27:07. > :27:11.she used to gorge herself. What made you decide you needed to sort

:27:11. > :27:18.it out? She could not seem to stand. She would walk and then collapse. I

:27:18. > :27:23.want her to be happy and live as long as she can. Relay competition

:27:24. > :27:28.like this make a difference? Diet and exercise. You can take dogs for

:27:28. > :27:33.a walk and play in the local park. Cats actually like to play into

:27:33. > :27:39.adulthood. You can encourage them to chase things. And rabbits need a

:27:39. > :27:42.nice, large exercise run with things that they can jump on.

:27:42. > :27:47.pets like depot might not give Jessica Ennis a run for her money,

:27:47. > :27:54.but if these pervy creatures turn their waddles into walkies, it will

:27:54. > :27:59.be an Olympian effort worth celebrating. We were let you know

:27:59. > :28:04.how Deco, Samantha and Fifi get on over the next few months.

:28:04. > :28:07.I could be wrong here, but I think a cat's whiskers are as long as the

:28:07. > :28:12.wit of his body so that when it goes through something, it can

:28:12. > :28:18.gauge how wide it is. So if a cat puts weight on, do the whiskers

:28:18. > :28:23.grow longer? Maybe viewers can help out. It is a tricky one. I can't

:28:23. > :28:28.help you. So you're new series starts on Tuesday. Any more travels

:28:28. > :28:33.planned? I would like to think so. I would love to work in America. It

:28:33. > :28:37.is very easy to work there. People know about television and they know

:28:37. > :28:46.about television's bizarre requirements. A anywhere you would

:28:46. > :28:51.like to go? I love most of America. Thank you for coming in. The Mighty

:28:51. > :28:58.Mississippi starts on ITV won at 9pm next Tuesday.

:28:58. > :29:04.Are you a fan of Little Britain? have seen it. I watch so much sport
