One Show with Alex Jones. Halfway through the week, and Matt Baker. | :00:19. | :00:26. | |
Tonight, the One Show has flames lapping at its heels. I feel hot all | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
of a sudden. We have been to Orkney to find out why these cars are | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
seemingly spontaneously combusting. Marty will be demonstrating her fire | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
can be extinguished in a way you couldn't expect, using sound. Will | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
back at elite which will be of interest to the Kensington Red | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
Watch, who are on stand-by in case the Fire theme gets out of hand -- | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
which will be of interest. They are also going to help us with some | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
target practice to extinguish the England World Cup competition. It | :01:00. | :01:07. | |
won't last long! Also, to guests, one who set the dance | :01:08. | :01:08. | |
won't last long! Also, to guests, metaphorically on light in strictly | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
and one who has been tackling fires in the Australian outback, Mark | :01:14. | :01:22. | |
Benton and Kate Humble. Are you all right? Have a seat, have received. | :01:23. | :01:32. | |
-- have a seat. Settle in. Nice, comfy sofa. Would you like a drink? | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
Yes, you would. Now, these are special herbal cocktails that have | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
been created especially for your ailments. How do you know what our | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
ailments are? You have been away, so you are jet-lagged. This is perfect | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
for sleep. Was that the fire alarm? You will do anything to get firemen | :01:59. | :02:06. | |
in the studio! That one is the stress, for your play. First night | :02:07. | :02:14. | |
coming up, yes. And mine is for sleep? To help with jet lag. | :02:15. | :02:22. | |
Camomile, strawberry. That lovely. There is quite a lot of gin in | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
there. Yes, I am feeling quite sleepy. That is great. How many have | :02:29. | :02:36. | |
have you got hidden behind the sofa? Now, Dairmuid is in Kew Gardens | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
Rideout and has his own drink there. What have you got? | :02:41. | :02:48. | |
I have, I have got I suppose the best view in all of London. I am on | :02:49. | :02:56. | |
the pagoda and I have a wonderful cocktail and I can identify a piece | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
of basil. It is a rejuvenating drink and it because I have crawled up six | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
floors. Amazing views. The reason I am here is here is there is a | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
medicine man below, a guy who has been planted as visitor attraction, | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
and he is hosting all sorts of horticultural goodies, plans that | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
will do it good. At the head, plans that are suitable for ailments in | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
your head. In a while, I will be down there with him. | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
More from the medicine man and Dairmuid later. And what a view. | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
From healing plans to unregulated potions and powders known as legal | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
highs that have claimed the life of 68 people in the UK in 2012. The One | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
Show went undercover on the high street to find out how dangerous and | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
how available these legal highs can be. | :03:49. | :03:57. | |
Legal highs are designed to copy the effects of illegal drugs, while | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
staying within the law. If I am selling them, all I have to do is | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
say they are not for human consumption and the authorities | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
can't touch me. Which is why there is absolutely nothing to stop me | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
setting out my stall of chemical research here in the beautiful | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
cathedral city of Winchester. Can I interest you in research | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
chemicals? Perfectly legal. What does it mean? Are they supposed to | :04:25. | :04:34. | |
be like drugs? Any of these look familiar? I think I have picked a | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
couple of the red ones up. They are just research, not for human | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
consumption. I can't tell you what is in them. They are simply not | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
saved, they are completely new. It is a gamble, you don't know what | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
they will do to you. Despite the deaths from psychoactive substances | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
rising up to 27 in 2012, getting advice on the drug like effect | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
marked not for human consumption... Is as easy as getting hold of a | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
parrot costume -- pirate costume and a water pistol. Just off the high | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
Street is a fancy dress shop called Sunflowers. What is happening | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
upstairs is not what you would expect. | :05:20. | :05:41. | |
While it is perfectly legal to sell these chemicals, handing out advice | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
like this on a product labelled not for human consumption could land our | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
shop owner in court if trading standards decide she has breached | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
consumer protection regulations. We wanted to find out exactly what | :05:56. | :06:16. | |
we had been sold, so we took our high street legal highs to St | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
George's Hospital in London. That is an hallucinogenic compounds. China | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
White is a stimulant with a name like cocaine, so we assume it will | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
have content similar to cocaine. This one is also similar. These two | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
are cannabis mimics. It behaves like cannabis but doesn't actually | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
contain the controlled drug. We check out one of the powders, China | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
White, with surprising results. The spectrometer is telling us that this | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
is something that is chemically similar to me fell amphetamine, | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
which you will know as crystal meth. That is a class a illegal drug and | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
this package is very similar. Someone has basically package is | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
very similar. Someone has basically, and put it in a fancy | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
back to sell on the high street. It is outrageous. It is outrageous. | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
These are not harmless and certainly shouldn't be on | :07:16. | :07:16. | |
These are not harmless and certainly shouldn't sale in the high street. | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
So what is the Government doing? A review panel has been set up to | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
tackle the problem because manufacturers are managing to get | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
around the law. As soon as a compound is banned, they tweak the | :07:29. | :07:40. | |
formula just enough so it is no longer covered by the ban. The | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
result? A brand-new psychoactive substance. We are playing catch-up | :07:43. | :07:44. | |
and there is no secret, but we played much quicker than other | :07:45. | :07:46. | |
countries. We have temporarily banning orders, but because of this | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
countries. We have temporarily temporal problem, this is why the | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
review panel is looking for a different way forward. In | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
Winchester, the owner of the shop we filmed him has agreed to meet me. | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
Why do you sell these legal highs? There is a place in the market for | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
them at the moment. Legally, you can sell these, there is a legal | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
loophole that you can sell them not for human consumption but morally, | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
do you feel happy doing that? If someone take something and has | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
adverse effects, goes into a coma, how would you feel? Would you ask | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
the same question about somebody who earns a pub? We have talked about | :08:24. | :08:30. | |
distinction, I take your point, people can abuse it but these are | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
completely untried and unregulated. It must be a worry? It is to a | :08:35. | :08:42. | |
certain extent. But when you know that... If this wasn't available, | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
there would be a lot of people buying illegal drugs and then | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
there would be a lot of people buying illegal drugs they don't buy | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
those illegal drugs anymore. She may think differently out of a | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
conversation we are going to have here. There have been links, I | :08:56. | :09:02. | |
cannot say cause, but links to 68 deaths in 2012. It says on the | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
packet, do not sell to anyone under the age of 18 but there have been | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
horror stories of teenagers doing it. Recently, 13-year-old boy in | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
Wales collapsed after taking legal highs and be 18 age restriction is | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
really misleading. These drugs are not controlled by the law so people | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
like Barbara can sell them to whoever she wants to. The fact that | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
they put not for under 18s is almost like they are covering themselves, | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
because the law doesn't say that. They are trying to give themselves | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
some legitimacy and say they are potent, and they are. We saw in the | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
film, chemically very similar, this to crystal meth. And it is available | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
on the high Street. And the risks cannot be overplayed. People do not | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
know what these are, what is in them or the long-term health effects. And | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
lots of parents watching this will be concerned, you have people like | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
Barbara who we saw in the film willingly selling them. Is there | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
anyway we can go after her? She given advice on these legal highs. | :10:05. | :10:11. | |
That is an area people find really interesting. The laws say, this says | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
research and it interesting. The laws say, this says | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
consumption, so as long interesting. The laws say, this says | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
you cannot put it in your body, you can get away with it. | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
you cannot put it in your body, you give advice, and in some ways it can | :10:26. | :10:26. | |
be helpful, you can say don't give advice, and in some ways it can | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
too much, then you break give advice, and in some ways it can | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
you break the Medicines Act,, because you are | :10:36. | :10:37. | |
you break the Medicines Act,, used for human consumption, so she | :10:38. | :10:39. | |
is giving advice which used for human consumption, so she | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
the law but it could help someone who is determined to take it. But I | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
can't say it enough, you shouldn't be taking these. So who is making | :10:49. | :10:55. | |
these? I suppose if you can get on top of that, you can solve the | :10:56. | :10:57. | |
problem. More are top of that, you can solve the | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
they are coming out of, we think, big laboratories in China and India | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
but also in Europe. These are clever people who do not take much to get | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
going, taking a controlled substance and chemically tweaking it so it is | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
just different enough and packaging it and selling it and plenty of | :11:16. | :11:17. | |
people are willing to sell it. it and selling it and plenty of | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
is a lot of money in these, something like this, you sell | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
is a lot of money in these, for ?25, buying them for ?10. And | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
the toxicologist reckons they make pennies to make. It is very hard for | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
the Government to clamp down because at every stage, they are behind the | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
game. Legal or not, putting it out there, people will know it is risky | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
and not to bother. And in the film, I wasn't selling them, I was just | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
making the point that they were available in shops on high streets. | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
And good news, festivals have cottoned on to these legal highs and | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
clamping down strongly. To be fair, people have been realising for the | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
last few years and this year, a big push. 26 festivals, including the | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
best of all, T In The Park and Glastonbury, a new campaign to | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
highlight the dangers and make sure they are not at the festival the | :12:13. | :12:21. | |
sale and will be confiscated. If you want more information on the dangers | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
of legal highs, head to the One Show website. On July the 5th, the 101st | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
Tour de France starts in Leeds. Well last year's winner Chris Froome take | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
victory for a second year or could it even be Bradley Wiggins again? | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
One thing is for sure, the pair have a very intriguing past. | :12:41. | :12:47. | |
Wait till I get you in the ring... Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier, boiled | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
pork and John McEnroe, Sebastian Coe and Steve Ovett, there have been | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
intense sporting rivalries over the years but few more than Chris Froome | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
and Bradley Wiggins, two men who, rumour has it, do not get along. In | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
and Bradley Wiggins, two men who, 2012, Chris Froome was ordered to | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
let his rival win the Tour de France when many say he could have won it | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
himself. Wiggins got the knighthood, sports personality of the year and | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
the chat show sofas. No Chris Froome has written his side of the story. I | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
wonder if he is willing to spill the beans. | :13:20. | :13:21. | |
Your childhood in Nairobi, it must have been an amazing place to grow | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
up and be a cyclist? Definitely, as a child, I don't think many places | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
offer the same kind of independence as a kid, growing up, just able to | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
get on my bike and go anywhere and do anything. It was an incredible | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
experience. 2007, you are 22, you turn pro. What is that like? From | :13:43. | :13:49. | |
riding my bike in Africa and just cruising around, seeing it as my | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
transport, to go from there and being a professional in the European | :13:54. | :13:56. | |
pellet on, it really was such a journey and almost unheard of with | :13:57. | :14:02. | |
the background I had. Going into the tour on 2012, what is it like being | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
told you have to be a team player? You are a team player but you are | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
riding for Bradley. As much as Bradley and I have been played up in | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
the media and our relationship publicly thrashed out, it's never | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
really about individuals. It is not about myself and Bradley, definitely | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
not against each other, but what is best for the team. At the end of the | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
day, in 2012, it was best for the team to work for Brad. In his book, | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
Chris Froome reveals that his relationship with Wiggins was often | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
fraught, saying they rode around him and his moods like he was a traffic | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
island. This friction became public knowledge when their respective | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
partners had a spat on Twitter. It was difficult for us on the team | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
together, in the sense that Bradley is not exactly a very | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
confrontational kind of guy. I think he didn't necessarily come to me and | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
say, this is the problem, we need to do this or that. It felt all of the | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
conversations were behind closed doors and back and forth with the | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
team management and it was a bit of an uncomfortable situation and I | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
think the team felt bad. Bradley had his way of doing things and I have | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
my own way. That is just the difference. Two British cyclists are | :15:25. | :15:32. | |
the top of your game. Is that a good rivalry to have? Yes, we do spur | :15:33. | :15:39. | |
each other on. In some twisted kind of week! Just to put things into | :15:40. | :15:46. | |
perspective, it is unreal to think that in almost 100 years of the Tour | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
de France, there has never been a British winner until Radley and | :15:52. | :15:59. | |
myself. When you won the Tour de France in 2013, what is it like? | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
There are a lot of different emotions. Happiness, a bit of | :16:05. | :16:10. | |
sadness, emotional that my mother wasn't there to be there. Just an | :16:11. | :16:16. | |
overwhelming feeling of having achieved a thing that I really | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
thought would be way beyond anything I could ever achieve. And what is | :16:21. | :16:27. | |
the situation this year? I am going in to try to defend the title, and | :16:28. | :16:34. | |
hopefully try to make it a third consecutive win for Team Sky. For | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
the start, being up in Yorkshire especially, it is going to be big, | :16:41. | :16:52. | |
really big. It is going to be big. And for more on that interesting | :16:53. | :17:00. | |
relationship, his autobiography is out tomorrow. I like cycling. I | :17:01. | :17:06. | |
think over a metre, I could challenge Chris Froome! You wouldn't | :17:07. | :17:13. | |
want to do it after that cocktail? Definitely not! We gave you these at | :17:14. | :17:20. | |
the beginning of the show. All of the ingredients are from the garden, | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
they are all herbal. Yours is for anxiety, Mark. It has a little gym | :17:25. | :17:33. | |
in there. It has some stuff that is really good for you, and yours, | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
Kate, is for sleep deprivation. Are you feeling the benefit? I am | :17:39. | :17:45. | |
feeling very perky! Well, Diarmuid is live at Kew Gardens. I'm trying | :17:46. | :17:51. | |
to work out which of you dislikes me more, because you sent me up there | :17:52. | :17:57. | |
with a cocktail laced with gin, and I don't like heights. But I have | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
made it back down here to see the medicine man stop this area here is | :18:02. | :18:16. | |
laced with medicinal plants. This is the healing giant, and you can see | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
him from the Birds Eye view, and then get up close and personal. As | :18:21. | :18:27. | |
well as the beautiful vistas that you can see here at Kew Gardens, you | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
can start understand that plants have a purpose. It is a bit of | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
science, a lot of fun, and you can learn about the plants. So it is a | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
little bit of theatre to grab all's attention. I love this yellow balm. | :18:40. | :18:52. | |
In terms of medicinal use, how good is it? It can be used as an | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
anti-viral and to treat colds. It is also used for patients who have | :18:58. | :19:05. | |
dementia or Alzheimer's. It is not a cure, but it can treat certain | :19:06. | :19:13. | |
ailment Looe like agitation. We are looking at what is in the plant that | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
can have that effect. And lording it over it, this wonderful plant, the | :19:19. | :19:42. | |
maidenhair tree,. You can make Apel associated with the active compound, | :19:43. | :19:49. | |
and that will help to calm people. And this one, we all know this one, | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
lavender. The birds and bees love it. How was it good for us? The | :19:56. | :20:01. | |
essential oils in the plant have relaxing qualities, but again, a | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
traditional use was antibacterial. It was used in the First World War | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
to treat patients, but also to keep surfaces clean. We mentioned the | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
First World War there, and if we go through the display, we find a | :20:16. | :20:22. | |
poignant symbol of that, two soldiers' helmets. Calendula, | :20:23. | :20:30. | |
marigolds, this was used to treat soldiers' wounds. Come back and join | :20:31. | :20:37. | |
me and see our viewers taste the cocktails. | :20:38. | :20:46. | |
I am intrigued by all of that. Are you a believer in homoeopathy? I | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
used to get tonsillitis a lot when I was growing up, and I had | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
antibiotics again and again, and I tried homoeopathy and I never had it | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
since. Can you remember what they gave you? It was Mercury, the | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
remedy, and I have a little kit ready just in case. I think it is | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
one of those things, whether people believe it or not, it helped me. | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
Personal experience, what works for you. And Kate. | :21:13. | :21:27. | |
You were in Australia making your new series about | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
It's a place notorious for the biggest bush fires on earth, | :21:31. | :21:33. | |
It has really been one of the worst times for wildfires on record, and | :21:34. | :21:43. | |
we are trying to learn how they have come so virulent and the | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
extraordinary way the Australians respond to them. We have some great | :21:49. | :21:55. | |
footage of the control centre. It is basically like they are at permanent | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
war during that period, and it is a little bit like a gorilla warfare. | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
They never know where it will break out and what is going to happen. | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
What is extraordinary about New South Wales is that they have a | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
volunteer fire force, a volunteer force of 70,000 people. It is | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
unbelievable. This is the headquarters in Sydney. Everything | :22:19. | :22:28. | |
that is listed... So they are obviously very well-prepared. Life | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
in Australia is geared in certain areas. Fire has been a feature of | :22:34. | :22:39. | |
Australian life since Australia was invented, if you like. It is a | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
natural thing that occurs every year stop I think a lot of people would | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
say that the problem is getting worse. Climate change is a factor, | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
whether you believe in it or not. This year was... In October, there | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
were whether you believe in it or not. | :22:58. | :22:58. | |
This year was... extraordinary fires, and when I sent you that | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
70,000 people fighting me is fires, as you saw that extraordinary | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
high-tech centre monitoring everything going on, and yet one | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
fire broke out in the Blue Mountains, only two hours from | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
Sydney, in October, and within an hour it had engulfed 200 homes. | :23:16. | :23:21. | |
There was nothing anyone could do to stop it. I interviewed a couple who | :23:22. | :23:23. | |
had managed to stop it. I interviewed a couple who | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
burning, and it is just unbelievable. | :23:30. | :23:31. | |
burning, and it is just CCTV camera of these ember storm is, | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
and it looks like a blizzard, but it is pieces of fire falling out of the | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
sky. It is terrifying. And this happens every year. In the second | :23:42. | :23:48. | |
episode, we see you go up in a sky crane. Let's find out what one of | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
episode, we see you go up in a sky those ears. -- is. Can see the sky | :23:54. | :24:02. | |
crane come into its own. It looks like such an unwieldy beast of a | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
machine, but in the hands of a skilled pilot, it is incredibly | :24:07. | :24:17. | |
manoeuvrable. It is coming in now to the dam to refill, and it hovers | :24:18. | :24:20. | |
like a giant dragonfly above the water. You can see the snorkel going | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
in and sucking up 9000 litres in seconds. That is a bit of kit! And | :24:27. | :24:34. | |
that is the reason that Australia isn't on fire permanently, really. | :24:35. | :24:40. | |
To be able to suck up that amount of water that quickly, it literally is | :24:41. | :24:47. | |
seconds to suck up 9000 litres. The pilots are unbelievable. We followed | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
them down the valley. We were in a helicopter following, because there | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
is only room for one person in the sky crane. He dropped it with | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
pinpoint accuracy. It was an incredible experience, and hopefully | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
they will be incredible television programmes. Hopefully we will find | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
out soon! Inside the Inferno begins this | :25:13. | :25:15. | |
Sunday at 9pm on BBC Two. Now, continuing our fire theme, | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
the future of firefighting could be Well, as soon as Marty heard it was | :25:20. | :25:22. | |
possible, he was hot on the case. In this country, there is one thing | :25:23. | :25:35. | |
you can't get away from, noise. But scientists are now developing ways | :25:36. | :25:38. | |
of using the power of sound in quite an unusual way. In some enclosed | :25:39. | :25:46. | |
spaces like an airline cockpit or the holder of a warship or where | :25:47. | :25:52. | |
water just isn't available, extinguishing a fire can be a real | :25:53. | :26:00. | |
problem. So scientists at Harvard University in the United States have | :26:01. | :26:02. | |
been experimenting by putting out fires by using sound. But how does | :26:03. | :26:11. | |
it work? For the first time on this show, we are going to see sound and | :26:12. | :26:18. | |
then put out flames with it. One of the easiest ways to see sound is | :26:19. | :26:21. | |
with a mixture of corn flour and water, in an upturned speaker | :26:22. | :26:27. | |
covered in plastic. Speakers make sound by vibrating, pushing and | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
pulling the hair like mini wave machines, creating sound waves. So, | :26:32. | :26:37. | |
if we put our gooey mixture into the speaker, with a bit of food | :26:38. | :26:43. | |
colouring to make it easier to spot, and we can see the sound vibrations | :26:44. | :26:55. | |
at work. If we turn up the bass... Different sound waves change the | :26:56. | :27:03. | |
shape of it. And it is the differences in those sound waves | :27:04. | :27:06. | |
that is crucial to putting out fires. | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
That is because every note have a different wave pattern. A | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
high-frequency one creates a spiky wave. Lower ones have a gentle | :27:18. | :27:23. | |
curve. Scientists have found it is allowed, low note put out fires. | :27:24. | :27:30. | |
This is what happens when a high-frequency wave, a sound wave, | :27:31. | :27:38. | |
hits aflame. You have a short wavelength like this in | :27:39. | :27:41. | |
high-frequency, and every time you get here, that is high pressure, and | :27:42. | :27:48. | |
at the top is low pressure. The flame isn't affected much by | :27:49. | :27:53. | |
frequent change between high and low pressure. But in a low-frequency | :27:54. | :27:56. | |
note with a long wavelength, scientists believe it is long enough | :27:57. | :28:00. | |
to disrupt the air around the flame, eventually causing it to cool down. | :28:01. | :28:05. | |
That means the flame becomes unstable and goes out. But that is | :28:06. | :28:10. | |
on a blackboard. How does it work in reality? I want to extinguish not | :28:11. | :28:16. | |
one, not to, but whole birthday cake full of candles. It is going to take | :28:17. | :28:24. | |
a very loud and low sound. It is going to need a serious sound | :28:25. | :28:30. | |
system. Paul provides huge sound systems for festivals and rock | :28:31. | :28:35. | |
concerts. He reckons these 18 inch 2000 watts speakers should be big | :28:36. | :28:42. | |
enough for the job. Why do we need such enormous speakers? To amplify | :28:43. | :28:48. | |
the bass frequencies, you need big cones that the move a lot of air, | :28:49. | :28:54. | |
and we talking frequencies that you feel rather than herewith your ears. | :28:55. | :29:00. | |
And how loud will it be? These speakers can do anything up to 140 | :29:01. | :29:07. | |
decibel. We are going for 120, almost as loud as a jet engine, and | :29:08. | :29:12. | |
can damage your hearing. But even at this volume, there is no sign of a | :29:13. | :29:17. | |
wobble in the flame. Until Paul drops the base lower. -- the bass. | :29:18. | :29:24. | |
And low. Not only did he do it, he moved the | :29:25. | :29:43. | |
cake! That is amazing. It might not be the biggest of flames, but sound | :29:44. | :29:46. | |
could become the fire extinguisher of the future. | :29:47. | :29:52. | |
But are we sure that that technique could translate to the wildfires of | :29:53. | :29:57. | |
the outback? You would need massive speakers! Huge helicopters! One big | :29:58. | :30:01. | |
party in the Australian outback! Only eight days to go until | :30:02. | :30:05. | |
the World Cup kicks off in Brazil, so let's have a look at how our | :30:06. | :30:08. | |
World Cup Chart is coming along. Four teams were added yesterday - | :30:09. | :30:12. | |
Brazil, Costa Rica, France and Greece - and you have | :30:13. | :30:16. | |
been sending in your nominations to So let's see who Alex | :30:17. | :30:19. | |
has to put up today. We had a bit of problem with Brazil | :30:20. | :30:40. | |
last night, so here is some help, we have a ladder. | :30:41. | :30:42. | |
First up, here's Sharon from Reading and her friends in Amsterdam | :30:43. | :30:43. | |
one, look. Very good. The next one, Tyler Smith, look at Little Tyler | :30:44. | :31:14. | |
Smith, he would like to represent Australia. There he is feeding a | :31:15. | :31:19. | |
kangaroo, this was his trip to Australia to meet his friend out for | :31:20. | :31:25. | |
the first time. Tyler, you can represent Australia. I spotted | :31:26. | :31:29. | |
Australia, the same group as the Netherlands. Karen would like to | :31:30. | :31:35. | |
represent Japan, there she is on the Netherlands. Karen would like to | :31:36. | :31:39. | |
Tokyo underground. She was on her way to a sumo... I like their | :31:40. | :31:46. | |
dresses! She would like to represent Japan, even though she is from West | :31:47. | :31:52. | |
Yorkshire. Which group? Here they are, Group C. And, finally, Scott | :31:53. | :32:05. | |
Green grass would like to represent Chile, and there he is with a pair | :32:06. | :32:12. | |
of chilies. OK, the last one. I am sure it is over here somewhere. Here | :32:13. | :32:14. | |
we go. It is looking really good now, the | :32:15. | :32:26. | |
wall chart. But we still have some spaces, about 24. You could | :32:27. | :32:31. | |
represent Germany, Uruguay or, my favourite, Camerin. Still available. | :32:32. | :32:39. | |
Keep sending in your reasons to the usual address. Now, cats, they do | :32:40. | :32:44. | |
sometimes surprise us by doing the most incredible things. For example, | :32:45. | :32:50. | |
supporting Greece. There we are. We do have other cat correspondence for | :32:51. | :32:54. | |
the One Show. Look at this. This is mode. Mo can play Jenga. Here is | :32:55. | :33:09. | |
another move coming up. Very good. And they are also very good at | :33:10. | :33:15. | |
climbing them but why can't they get them? That is one for you | :33:16. | :33:23. | |
firefighters. -- get down. It is the story that local papers | :33:24. | :33:26. | |
have traded on forever but research shows that when one of Britain's | :33:27. | :33:31. | |
domestic cats, 10 million of them, it is stranded because of an | :33:32. | :33:37. | |
anatomical conundrum. This one in Bristol is a case in point. After | :33:38. | :33:41. | |
three days of trying to coax her down, the owners have called the | :33:42. | :33:47. | |
RSPCA. She is right at the very top. There is no way we are going to get | :33:48. | :33:52. | |
her down. We have to get the fire service. In London alone, the | :33:53. | :33:57. | |
emergency services are called out, on average, once every 25 hours to | :33:58. | :34:01. | |
rescue cats whose lofty ambitions have left them high and dry. Whilst | :34:02. | :34:07. | |
our domestic cats' ability to climb up is instinctive, it is the coming | :34:08. | :34:11. | |
then they haven't quite got to grips with. Paolo is the natural history | :34:12. | :34:14. | |

skeleton gives you an indication about behaviour, because you are | :34:22. | :34:25. | |
limited by what the skeleton can do. The skeleton can do. De Bakker | :34:26. | :34:34. | |
pause, they cannot turn them, so -- back paws. There is a groove, which | :34:35. | :34:39. | |
shows you it is a stiff joint, which means it can't rotate and is | :34:40. | :34:42. | |
shows you it is a stiff joint, which great for climbing. What about the | :34:43. | :34:47. | |
clause? It is steeply hooked, which is great for digging in and gravity | :34:48. | :34:53. | |
can take the weight. If you try and work it that way with a hook, it | :34:54. | :34:58. | |
just drops off, not ideal for climbing downwards. Domestic cats | :34:59. | :35:01. | |
can blame their vertical shortcomings on their close | :35:02. | :35:05. | |
relations, Eastern African wildcats. With few trees in these | :35:06. | :35:09. | |
arid areas, these cats spend most of their time on the ground. | :35:10. | :35:11. | |
wildcats. With few trees in these arid areas, these cats spend Where | :35:12. | :35:14. | |
there are plenty of trees, like Britain, cats cannot resist the urge | :35:15. | :35:18. | |
to climb them. Back in Bristol, Izzy is still in the tree, so drastic | :35:19. | :35:26. | |
measures are being taken. Whilst our favourite has cats are | :35:27. | :35:29. | |
poorly designed for descending, some species are masters the art. The | :35:30. | :35:35. | |
magnificent Margate cat can run headfirst down the vertical tree | :35:36. | :35:39. | |
trunk. Native to the Forest of Central and South America, it has | :35:40. | :35:45. | |
adapted to arboreal living, where it hunts its prey. These mysterious | :35:46. | :35:49. | |
cats are rare, but in Kent, they are working hard to protect the species. | :35:50. | :35:54. | |
The cats are nocturnal and very shy, but with the park keeper Neville's | :35:55. | :35:59. | |
help, I am hoping we can catch a glimpse of these nimble keepers and | :36:00. | :36:02. | |
see how they have learned to live in the trees. | :36:03. | :36:06. | |
They are so shy, they are going to film them using remote cameras and | :36:07. | :36:10. | |
view the action as it happens in the shed next to the enclosure. | :36:11. | :36:13. | |
And there it is, the cat climbing down the tree, clinging to that like | :36:14. | :36:34. | |
Velcro. She is going down. One of the main abilities of these | :36:35. | :36:38. | |
fantastic gymnasts is the fact that they can rotate their ankles in 180 | :36:39. | :36:43. | |
degrees and it just allows them to grip onto those trees, just like you | :36:44. | :36:48. | |
would with your hands. But they have also got really dextrous and | :36:49. | :36:51. | |
slightly longer toes then you would see on a normal cat, with | :36:52. | :36:58. | |
proportionally longer clause. -- claws. Unlike domestic cats with | :36:59. | :37:03. | |
tighter fitting joints, these cats are perfectly designed for hanging | :37:04. | :37:07. | |
around in trees. Whilst it can easily navigate downwards, Izzy's | :37:08. | :37:12. | |
prospects are finally looking up, thanks to a fireman's lived. She is | :37:13. | :37:17. | |
absolutely fine that she will be glad for her tea tonight. This is | :37:18. | :37:22. | |
today but I can assure you, there will be another cat of the tree | :37:23. | :37:25. | |
somewhere. Speak watch the fire brigade were | :37:26. | :37:28. | |
glued to that, it has answered all of their problems. Mark, for you are | :37:29. | :37:36. | |
appearing in Hobson is choice. Many will be familiar with the film, tell | :37:37. | :37:43. | |
us about Henry Hobson and his live of uncertainty. I think it is a bit | :37:44. | :37:52. | |
like Cinderella, it is a big bombastic father who rules his three | :37:53. | :37:56. | |
daughters with an iron hand and one of his daughters decides to get | :37:57. | :38:00. | |
married to his boot hand and lives in his life crumbles around him. | :38:01. | :38:08. | |
Having said that, it is a comedy! It sounds hilarious! There was a film | :38:09. | :38:14. | |
made in 1954 but it is set in the 60s, but originally a 19th century | :38:15. | :38:23. | |
play. Originally, 19 century, and a lot of people I think has seen the | :38:24. | :38:28. | |
older film so it is finding a new angle on it without losing the | :38:29. | :38:33. | |
integrity. It is really fun to do it in the 60s. I have done it before, | :38:34. | :38:37. | |
when I left Rada, my final show was that. I had a terrible bald cap | :38:38. | :38:43. | |
where you could see their hair. But I might go for a quiff this time. | :38:44. | :38:49. | |
You have the facial hair going on, but you are doing it outside, | :38:50. | :38:54. | |
talking about putting a spin on it. Yes, Regents Park, that was one of | :38:55. | :38:58. | |
the reason I wanted to do it. If we get sun, we are fine, if we get | :38:59. | :39:04. | |
rain... Who knows? It does throw up its own challenges, the weather. | :39:05. | :39:10. | |
Absolutely, I think I will get some waterproof underwear in case the | :39:11. | :39:14. | |
heavens open. It does look great, the set. Have you been rehearsing | :39:15. | :39:21. | |
outside? Know, inside, which is a bit of a worry, because you have two | :39:22. | :39:30. | |
carry on -- no. As we said, Henry Hobson has a choice. You are growing | :39:31. | :39:35. | |
a moustache and beard the Bard. Don't tell the wife, she will kill | :39:36. | :39:42. | |
me. -- for the part. We wanted to know which one you would like | :39:43. | :39:47. | |
ideally. We have a choice. Chewbacca. | :39:48. | :39:54. | |
Hulk Hogan. Come on, I'm going to wrestle you! Let's have this prior | :39:55. | :40:03. | |
row one. My little grey cells say that you may be guilty. Hulk Hogan, | :40:04. | :40:10. | |
definitely. Would you like one, Kate? I think Chewbacca goes with my | :40:11. | :40:19. | |
hair. I will use this when I do the play. There is a kimchi to hear. -- | :40:20. | :40:29. | |
Conchita. You can see Mark in Hobson's choice for a month's run in | :40:30. | :40:34. | |
the Regents Park open-air theatre in London, wearing his Hulk Hogan | :40:35. | :40:41. | |
moustache. It will be a sell-out before you've even started. It looks | :40:42. | :40:50. | |
real, because I am blonde. It is the long straw! When it comes to art, | :40:51. | :40:54. | |
there is not much Phil Tufnell doesn't know, they say. Tonight, he | :40:55. | :40:59. | |
meets a man responsible for some of the best loved sculptures. | :41:00. | :41:06. | |
For centuries, the great and the good have had their likenesses | :41:07. | :41:10. | |
cashed in bonds and struck -- bronze and stuck on a plinth. Not really | :41:11. | :41:17. | |
Cricket weather. Nowadays, it is as likely to be someone who has made | :41:18. | :41:20. | |
their name in sport or entertainment instead of a lord or lady. In this | :41:21. | :41:25. | |
studio in Barnsley, sculptor has been working on a new piece | :41:26. | :41:28. | |
featuring football heroes that have made a huge impact on their sport in | :41:29. | :41:34. | |
this country. It is called Celebration and commemorate three | :41:35. | :41:37. | |
figures who, in their own way, changed our national sport and | :41:38. | :41:41. | |
society in general. Laurie Cunningham, Cyrille Regis and | :41:42. | :41:44. | |
Brendan Batson played for West Brom in the 1970s. They were football | :41:45. | :41:48. | |
trailblazers because they were black men in an almost totally white | :41:49. | :41:52. | |
sport. They are being commemorated by plans for a seven foot tall | :41:53. | :41:57. | |
bronze sculpture in West Bromwich. It is based on this scale model | :41:58. | :42:01. | |
which was influenced by a classic photograph of the players, dubbed | :42:02. | :42:04. | |
the three degrees by their manager. What was it like being a black | :42:05. | :42:12. | |
player in the 70s? We went through tough times, there were not many | :42:13. | :42:16. | |
black players ran. When I made my debut in 1977, there were only four, | :42:17. | :42:22. | |
three of us at West Brom and Viv Anderson at Nottingham Forest. So | :42:23. | :42:23. | |
you can imagine the races we face. Anderson at Nottingham Forest. So | :42:24. | :42:28. | |
you can imagine the races we Five or 10,000 people shouting races at us. | :42:29. | :42:32. | |
When Cyrille Regis was called up playing them, the abuse turned into | :42:33. | :42:38. | |
something more similar. A bullet came through the post and said if | :42:39. | :42:42. | |
you put your foot on the Wembley turf you get one of these through | :42:43. | :42:45. | |
your needs. We internalised the anger and used it as motivation, | :42:46. | :42:49. | |
saying we would work harder, pull our socks up and win the game. This | :42:50. | :42:54. | |
pioneering group of players overcame the abuse and threat and became | :42:55. | :42:59. | |
heroes who inspired a new generation of black footballers that | :43:00. | :43:03. | |
transformed their sport and arguably reduced racism in society as a | :43:04. | :43:08. | |
whole. When you have a black player in your team, it is hard to | :43:09. | :43:14. | |
whole. When you have a black player racist abuse to another player. So | :43:15. | :43:17. | |
the proliferation of black players was the real driving force to | :43:18. | :43:21. | |
stamping out racism in football. What you think of the statue? Not | :43:22. | :43:26. | |

the 60,000 so far. A businessman in the West Midlands is hoping to raise | :44:39. | :44:43. | |
the extra cars from events, local businesses and fans. I am proud to | :44:44. | :44:50. | |

are smiling. It is a celebratory against the kind of abuse they were | :44:57. | :44:59. | |
getting from the stands all around them. Whether they intended it or | :45:00. | :45:05. | |
not, Cyrille Regis and his team-mates were a genuine | :45:06. | :45:09. | |
inspiration for young black players and helped reduce racism. And in my | :45:10. | :45:12. | |
book, that definitely deserves a statue. I love that work! Lucy is | :45:13. | :45:25. | |
joining us now. Have they seen the finished article? It is still a work | :45:26. | :45:30. | |
in progress, but they have come face-to-face with it. We have a | :45:31. | :45:42. | |
photograph here of Cyrille taking a photo of it. We asked the family | :45:43. | :45:51. | |
what they thought of the statue, and they said they were thrilled. His | :45:52. | :45:55. | |
mum in Jamaica is going to try and come over. And when it is finished, | :45:56. | :46:04. | |
we will it be? It will be in new Square in West Bromwich. The plinth | :46:05. | :46:10. | |
is radiant waiting. And Graham has another statue taking place as we | :46:11. | :46:16. | |
speak. This is a statue of Arthur Wharton, the world's first | :46:17. | :46:20. | |
professional black footballer, and in the 1880s he came over to England | :46:21. | :46:24. | |
from Ghana, training to be a missionary in Darlington, but he was | :46:25. | :46:28. | |
the classic genius all-rounder in terms of sport. He held the record | :46:29. | :46:34. | |
for the 100 yard dash, ten seconds, and he also held the record for | :46:35. | :46:38. | |
cycling between Preston and Blackburn, but it is 125 years she | :46:39. | :46:44. | |
signed at first fresh and all contract with Rotherham town, and he | :46:45. | :46:50. | |
was just an outstanding sportsman. We have an artists impression of | :46:51. | :46:53. | |
where the statue will go and what it will look like. This is outside | :46:54. | :47:02. | |
Rotherham United's New York Stadium. Also unveiled towards the end of the | :47:03. | :47:08. | |
year. Thank you, Lucy. And speaking of large works of art, let's head | :47:09. | :47:19. | |
back to Diarmuid Gavin. This is public service broadcasting at its | :47:20. | :47:23. | |
best, because we have three viewers who are on their way to the doctors, | :47:24. | :47:27. | |
but we decided to bring them to a garden instead. Kew Gardens is full | :47:28. | :47:31. | |
of plants that will do wonderful things for any complaint that they | :47:32. | :47:52. | |
have. Shay is our mixer. Lack of sleep, anxiety and lack of energy, | :47:53. | :47:55. | |
these are all free things that I suffer from as well. This is | :47:56. | :48:00. | |
strawberry, chamomile and lemon balm. That is for the sleep, gin and | :48:01. | :48:11. | |
chamomile. The second one is Lavender, Rose and passionflower. | :48:12. | :48:27. | |
Passionflower has flava -- ingredients that are known to help | :48:28. | :48:34. | |
with anxiety. Apple, basil and green tea. Green tea is known to release | :48:35. | :48:43. | |
energy. It can bring not only the science of plants, but also | :48:44. | :48:49. | |
enjoyment in. They certainly seem to be enjoying it! Do you feel it is | :48:50. | :48:56. | |
doing you any good? What is the Apple one like? Delicious. This is | :48:57. | :49:05. | |
packed with plants, fennel, calendula, Willow, which is used for | :49:06. | :49:17. | |
pain. And Kew Gardens is packed with these plants. We are exploring the | :49:18. | :49:20. | |
properties of these plants, and this is the best EU could come, because | :49:21. | :49:25. | |
they are making it interesting and entertaining if you come here until | :49:26. | :49:28. | |
September the 7th, you will be able to see the medicine man, and if you | :49:29. | :49:33. | |
are of the proper age group, at weekends you will be able to have | :49:34. | :49:38. | |
some of Shay's fantastic cocktails. I think we would all agree that they | :49:39. | :49:43. | |
do their job. Yes! Thank you, Diarmuid. Thank you to everybody | :49:44. | :49:47. | |
there for sharing that. Now, we also want to hear | :49:48. | :49:50. | |

in a One Show cook-off final! I look forward to tasting the | :50:26. | :50:38. | |
winner! Now we have a lovely story, an old | :50:39. | :50:42. | |
tractor up on the farm. Last year we had some chirping coming from | :50:43. | :50:47. | |
underneath the bonnet, so we took off the front grille, and look what | :50:48. | :50:51. | |
we saw. A little nest with swallow chicks. This year, I took my car to | :50:52. | :50:58. | |
the garage, and they said the turbo was done in, it would cost a | :50:59. | :51:03. | |
fortune. So we sent it to another garage in Cardiff, and they said, it | :51:04. | :51:08. | |
isn't the turbo, mice have eaten the cables. Little chicks, mice, very | :51:09. | :51:18. | |
cute. But cute birds could lead to this on Orkney island. | :51:19. | :51:26. | |
Famous for its rich history, beautiful scenery and amazing | :51:27. | :51:34. | |
wildlife, Orkney is a peaceful island with a population of 20,000. | :51:35. | :51:40. | |
But since the beginning of spring, the residents of Orkney have been | :51:41. | :51:43. | |
left rather confused by some strange goings-on, and they have all been | :51:44. | :51:50. | |
happening under the car bonnet. Local resident Alison's car was the | :51:51. | :51:54. | |
first to be affected, and it was completely destroyed. This is the | :51:55. | :52:02. | |
remnants of it. Talkers for it. We got home at about 9.15, got my | :52:03. | :52:08. | |
daughter's bags, and she said there was a funny smell, and I saw there | :52:09. | :52:11. | |
was white smoke pouring out from under the bonnet. There was my car | :52:12. | :52:17. | |
like something out of a Hollywood film, big orange flames, black | :52:18. | :52:24. | |
smoke, and I was devastated. And the reason for all this chaos and | :52:25. | :52:27. | |
destruction is due to Stalinists catching fire from the heat of car | :52:28. | :52:43. | |
engines -- starling nests. I had never heard of it in my life. It is | :52:44. | :52:51. | |
common for starlings to build their nests somewhere cosy, and a warm | :52:52. | :52:57. | |
engine revives an ideal place. They want somewhere that is dried, out of | :52:58. | :53:05. | |
the wind, dark. It is an arrow entrance, so predators can't get | :53:06. | :53:09. | |
the wind, dark. It is an arrow so that is perfect. So how, | :53:10. | :53:11. | |
the wind, dark. It is an arrow that they would go under a | :53:12. | :53:11. | |
carbonic? that they would go under a | :53:12. | :53:18. | |
often as we have had this year -- car bonnet. We have seen lots of | :53:19. | :53:29. | |
starlings. All the numbers healthy? Over the past few decades, there has | :53:30. | :53:36. | |
been a huge decline in the numbers. It is linked to changes in land | :53:37. | :53:45. | |
use, we have lost four fifths. People could leave patches of short | :53:46. | :53:53. | |
grass and put up nest boxes. There have even been reports of this | :53:54. | :53:57. | |
happening up and down the country. So what advice is there from the | :53:58. | :54:03. | |
fire service? My advice would be to look under the bonnet and check for | :54:04. | :54:06. | |
a nest every morning, or keep your car in the garage. One man who is | :54:07. | :54:14. | |
taking the starlings under his wing is local car dealership owner. So | :54:15. | :54:28. | |
there are five chicks. That is a large nest. The most unexpected | :54:29. | :54:31. | |
place to find a nest, under a car bonnet. I think they are seven or | :54:32. | :54:38. | |
eight days old. I have a soft spot for little birds, so I decided not | :54:39. | :54:42. | |
to use the van and wait and see. They are my babies! The starlings | :54:43. | :54:53. | |
have made news not just here but further afield. These guys have had | :54:54. | :55:00. | |
a lucky escape. Quite extraordinary. Hatch from the | :55:01. | :55:06. | |
London Fire service joins us now. We have seen | :55:07. | :55:08. | |
London Fire service joins us now. We suspicious, involving animals. Tell | :55:09. | :55:14. | |
us more! A discarded cigarette by a member of the public, a pigeon | :55:15. | :55:18. | |
picked it up and dropped it down a chimney and caused a chimney fire. | :55:19. | :55:29. | |
Howdy no? -- how do you know? We have a good fire investigation team. | :55:30. | :55:35. | |
And it is not just pigeons causing trouble. Also mice and fridges. We | :55:36. | :55:43. | |
have had an incident where a mouse got caught under the electrics of | :55:44. | :55:50. | |
the fridge, and it had eaten through the electrics and caused a | :55:51. | :55:53. | |
malfunction that caused the fire. Same story as Kate Humble's fire! | :55:54. | :56:01. | |
And dogs? Unattended dogs Cnoc over fires, knocks the cooker. We have | :56:02. | :56:07. | |
had a dog knocker toaster over which caused the fire. And we are heading | :56:08. | :56:15. | |
into the summer, apparently. What should we be more wary but this time | :56:16. | :56:20. | |
year? Discarded cigarettes, discarded lighters. If you are | :56:21. | :56:25. | |
having a barbecue, make sure that you do it in a safe place, look at | :56:26. | :56:30. | |
the fire safety messages on a campsite, and always contact your | :56:31. | :56:36. | |
local fire station for advice. We are an open shop to help people. Why | :56:37. | :56:43. | |
you are here, you are going to help us with some target practice. This | :56:44. | :56:49. | |
is the idea. We are going to try and get rid of other players. We have | :56:50. | :57:01. | |
Italy, Argentina, Uruguay. We are going to try to not come down. We | :57:02. | :57:07. | |
haven't got Argentina! Uruguay and Costa Rica. I am ready, | :57:08. | :57:14. | |
haven't got Argentina! Uruguay and Costa Rica. I but apparently this is | :57:15. | :57:17. | |
going to kick back. Hold on to me, Mark! See if you can get Mario | :57:18. | :57:26. | |
Balotelli. Blue shirt on the far left. Go. | :57:27. | :57:39. | |
What was the power like? It was good! You have a go. Try and get | :57:40. | :57:55. | |
them back up again. I feel really match oh. | :57:56. | :58:08. | |
Thank you to the London Fire Brigade. Are you looking forward to | :58:09. | :58:11. | |
the foot or? I can't wait. Inside the Inferno starts this | :58:12. | :58:30. | |
Sunday at 9pm on BBC Two. Except that it is not orange. I wore | :58:31. | :58:40. | |
a lot of orange, which is not my colour at all! | :58:41. | :58:43. | |
