Hello and welcome to The One Show with Alex Jones... | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
It's nice to be on air on the day of a big royal announcement | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
Tonight we are happy to say, the queen of country pop | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
She's global superstar who has sold 90 million albums | :00:28. | :00:40. | |
Which makes her the top selling female country artist of all time. | :00:41. | :00:48. | |
# I'm going to get you, it's just a matter of time... | :00:49. | :01:08. | |
# So you got the looks but have you got the touch | :01:09. | :01:18. | |
# Oh, oh, oh, I wanna be free yeah, to feel the way I feel | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
have a seat for the next half an hour. Lovely to have you here. We | :01:23. | :01:53. | |
are delighted to see you, delighted to hear that you are back. What is | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
this like for you, after the break? It is exciting. Just exciting to be | :01:58. | :02:07. | |
back. It's a relief as well, to be through the process. Of actually | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
doing it? Doing it, taking on the task. I feel a sense of relief. It's | :02:13. | :02:23. | |
not just music, its films as well? You are in a film with John | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
Travolta? It's true! There you are, with John, with a beard. What is the | :02:29. | :02:43. | |
premise? Trading Paint do you know the process? We know DIY! It's a | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
very emotional story. I'm getting really wrapped up in the whole | :02:50. | :03:01. | |
father and son teams. I play the girlfriend. John's girlfriend? Yes, | :03:02. | :03:08. | |
and I am a schoolteacher. I'm getting into the role of being a | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
northern girl, going south to slow her like down. | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
When can we say it? I believe it is the spring. I'm having a really | :03:22. | :03:31. | |
great time doing it. If you are really getting into the role of | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
being a schoolteacher, you will enjoy the first film tonight. | :03:35. | :03:48. | |
meeting their new teachers for the first time. | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
And those teachers have got a brand new person | :03:52. | :03:53. | |
marking their work this year, the new head of Ofsted. | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
Nick Wallis has taken her to face a class full of question. | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
Nothing creates a steer in a school quite like the words Ofsted | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
inspection. Today, we are going to see an Ofsted visit with a | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
difference. Exclusively for The One Show, we are going to turn the | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
tables on the inspector. Ofsted is the independent body that inspects | :04:12. | :04:13. | |
standards of education in England. Amanda went from a career in banking | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
to setting up a chain of schools. She is now the chief inspector. You | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
have one of the most high profile jobs in education, but you've never | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
been a teacher yourself? We don't expect that the person who runs the | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
Civil Aviation Authority has been a pilot, or whoever runs Network Rail | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
has been a train driver. I need a broad picture of all the different | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
skills. I don't need to do all of those things myself. 670 pupils and | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
36 teachers are eager to put their own questions to Amanda, who has no | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
idea what is on the agenda. She has joined Ofsted at a time when schools | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
are struggling with budget cuts, students are facing changes to exams | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
and grading structures and almost a quarter of the teachers that | :04:58. | :04:59. | |
qualified in the last six years have already left the profession. A hot | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
topic in this school's staff room today. There are push and pull | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
factors to people leaving the profession. How can we stop Ofsted | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
being the main pushing factor? The last thing I want to see is good | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
teachers leaving that might have otherwise staid. We have redesigned | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
inspection over the last couple of years to get to a shorter, lighter | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
touch inspection. You should teach exactly as you want to teach, as you | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
would normally teach, that is how you give the best picture of | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
yourself and your school. That sounds like empowerment. Most | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
objectives I have heard are the idea of fear and pressure. Are you | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
deliberately making a change to the organisation? I think the change has | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
been in the pipeline for some time. I don't want to take credit, but I | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
think we are pushing in a direction that is constructive for us to take. | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
During his role as Secretary of State for Education, Michael Gove | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
reformed GCSEs. Less coursework and tougher exams have been blamed for | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
this year's overall dip in pass rates across the UK. Students in | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
this class want to talk to Amanda about the impact of the changes. I | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
am taking about 24 exams. If I took them two years earlier, I would have | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
had coursework, but now it is 100% exam. Is that a positive step? There | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
is quite a lot of evidence that coursework and controlled assessment | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
has become a millstone in schools. Huge amounts of time went into it. | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
This is trying to get to a better balance between learning and | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
testing. Does anyone want to tell us what it is like to be under this | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
pressure? The way the system is going, it is a checkbox game. If I | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
don't get the grades, I will not check the box to get to college, and | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
if I don't do it in college, I won't check the boxes to go to university. | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
At the end of the day, doesn't matter how well rounded your | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
education is, if you don't pass the grade, you don't go to college or | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
university of your choice or get the job you want? If you get the | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
education, you will almost certainly get the grades. It's really | :07:03. | :07:04. | |
important we don't get completely hung up on the object of education | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
being getting a set of grades, that is not education. That is sticker | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
collection. Striking the balance between awarding badges for passing | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
tests and nurturing well rounded people has long been a challenge for | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
schools. So what was it like in Amanda's day? She had both a state | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
and private education. Did you ever end up in the headteacher's office | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
at school? Yes. What kind of people were you? You might get your own | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
way? Impulsive, I was in a rush and I would sometimes flattened people | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
in my haste. The teacher's door is open, it may or may not be a good | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
sign. In the seven years Carol White has been a headteacher here, the | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
Ofsted rating has advanced from satisfactory to good. This year, | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
they had their best exam results on record and ambitions remain high. | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
What do you think you need to do, or your team needs to do, to make it | :07:57. | :08:03. | |
outstanding? If you asked a year ago, I would say that we just have | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
to get much better results. I'm not sure any more. I think it is more | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
about the breath of the curriculum, the provision you are providing to | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
children and the community that you are serving. What makes an | :08:14. | :08:20. | |
outstanding school? It is about the quality of the education experience | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
children get, it is about the quality of institution around that | :08:25. | :08:26. | |
and that you have the kind of management and structures that make | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
everybody be the best they can be, do the best they can do and keep | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
working towards making things better. Amanda hopes that the | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
inspections will have a supportive effect, with a focus on a rounded | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
educational experience. We can be sure her next moves will be studied | :08:42. | :08:43. | |
as closely as any GCSE paper. Good luck to everyone who is going | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
back to school this week. And if you went back last week | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
in Scotland and Northern Ireland, Very much into the swing of things. | :08:50. | :09:01. | |
Like summer never happened! We were watching those youngsters with their | :09:02. | :09:03. | |
whole life ahead of them. When you think back to what you were like at | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
school, what do you remember? My school years were actually quite | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
difficult. We were very poor when we were growing up. I dreaded lunch, | :09:13. | :09:20. | |
for example. Knowing that I didn't have lunch with me, or recess, | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
because I didn't have the right clothes for the cold winter. It was | :09:24. | :09:32. | |
challenging. There wasn't a lot of respect or understanding at that | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
time. We have a very lovely picture of you as a young girl. What would | :09:38. | :09:46. | |
you say to that young girl now, from the position you are in today? The | :09:47. | :09:53. | |
world has changed so much for young artists. At this time, this was a | :09:54. | :10:03. | |
club, an adult bar. And you were working? I was working in there, | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
that was my weekend job. Now you would normally may be auditioned to | :10:08. | :10:20. | |
get on The Voice. The X-Factor? Right? Or you would go to a | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
performing arts school, there are so many more of those than they're | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
worth at that time. This was my performing arts school, the bar. I | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
would say, if you can avoid that, maybe do that. It was good | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
experience, but I wouldn't want to do it again as a child. You're here | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
to talk about your new album, out on the 29th of September. We know you | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
have had so many challenges in your life anyway. This album nearly | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
didn't happen because of something that happened to your voice? You got | :10:49. | :10:55. | |
Lyme disease? I did. Many years ago, it was's it wasn't anything I | :10:56. | :11:02. | |
thought was associated with the voice. The effect was debilitating, | :11:03. | :11:09. | |
but not overnight, that I even correlated the two issues. After a | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
long story of research, even giving up on my voice and believing I would | :11:14. | :11:20. | |
never sing again, I finally got to the bottom of the connection of the | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
two, the fact that there was atrophy in both sides of my vocal chords. It | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
takes a lot of physiotherapy to be able to sing. A lot of people ask, | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
what does it feel like to finally have this new music? It is like I | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
have climbed this gigantic mountain. Before the album is even released, I | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
have already reached the top. It is a miracle that I was even able to | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
make the album. So I'm very excited. It's been a really complement for | :11:48. | :11:54. | |
me, personally. The first single was Life's About To Get Good, a | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
brilliant title, considering what you have just told us. Let's look at | :11:59. | :12:00. | |
the video. it is lovely to watch you watching | :12:01. | :12:30. | |
yourself. It does feel like a real celebration that you are back and | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
see yourself there? It is such a cheerful song. It was a bittersweet | :12:36. | :12:44. | |
experience writing it. What made it come so alive with positivity is the | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
reality, my optimism that, thankfully, still keeps surfacing, | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
even when I get down. I'm very grateful for that. I was in this | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
mode of melancholy, sad notes in the verses. Then I would look up and see | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
this gorgeous view in front of me. I would go down to the paper, get into | :13:06. | :13:12. | |
the mode, looking up and seeing this beautiful view. I realised that | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
contrast of a motion needs to be in the song. There is good and bad in | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
life. It goes from sad too happy, from lost to found. Dark to light. | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
That is what the song is. It's just about celebrating that light at the | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
end of the tunnel. Talking of loss, a lot of the food for thought is the | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
fact that you split up with your former husband, producer, that | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
produced so many tracks in the past. Why does it now feel right to put | :13:40. | :13:47. | |
the album out there? Well, first of all, I've been working in that | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
collaborative environment for a long time, 15 years. I was really just | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
scared of getting out there and doing at my own. That was a big part | :13:56. | :14:02. | |
it. Without my collaborator in music, and also with my voice, it | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
took so much effort just to get to the bottom of what was wrong with | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
it. There was a period when I just gave up. I said, well, I don't have | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
my creative partner now. What am I going to do about getting my voice | :14:19. | :14:25. | |
back? I decided, in the end, that I could do it. That I could write the | :14:26. | :14:33. | |
album alone, that I would take that challenge on, I dedicated myself to | :14:34. | :14:40. | |
that and I was diving into that, and diving into the unknown of getting | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
my voice back, determination. You can really feel that you have | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
climbed a massive mountain. You can feel it from you. It is as good as | :14:50. | :14:55. | |
the other albums, it is. Thank you! I was singing away, and I was, like, | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
Shania's back! Singing in the make-up room! | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
We know that you have a great love of animals. You said if you were not | :15:06. | :15:12. | |
a musician, you would probably have been a vet. | :15:13. | :15:14. | |
Over the next few weeks we're going to get to know the Tweedys - | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
a family who love animals so much - they've bought a whole | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
On the beautiful Welsh coast, just a a few miles from Aberystwyth is | :15:22. | :15:36. | |
Borth Zoo Animalarium. And they have new owners, the Tweedy family. Not | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
your typical family. Dad Dean Tweedy Pates pictures for a living. If they | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
are out, we just have to chuck them back in. And Mum Tracy Tweedy is a | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
psychotherapist. I think you have to be a little bit Tracy to do this | :15:51. | :15:57. | |
sort of thing and a bit brave to follow your dreams. Between them and | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
their seven children, they have no experience of running a zoo. We | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
bought zoo! That didn't stop them selling their five bedroom house in | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
Kent, pooling their life savings and this year moving their family 300 | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
miles to the other side of the country to the zoo. 29 years ago | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
when we first got together we had a holiday in Wales and fell in love | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
with the place. We went to see a small zoo farm and we thought, we | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
could do this. And then life went on support for nearly three decades the | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
family fostered children. But last year Tracey fancied a new challenge. | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
I decided I wanted to work with animals and people so started | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
looking for a small petting farm and this place came up and it was | :16:41. | :16:46. | |
perfect. The ?625,000 they bought a 12 acre site as well as 300 animals, | :16:47. | :16:55. | |
including Lions, monkeys and a leopard. Also included in the sale | :16:56. | :17:03. | |
is the family's new home, the on-site bungalow. We have a cupboard | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
that is screwed shut. I don't know if it contains a dead relative or | :17:09. | :17:16. | |
something spooky! I find this more scary than the Lions, to be honest. | :17:17. | :17:24. | |
It needs a lot of work. The previous owners ran Borth Zoo for 17 years. | :17:25. | :17:31. | |
But today it's the Tweedys turn to take charge will stop first full day | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
at work today. It will be mainly clearing and sorting. Cleaning. All | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
the normal stuff you normally do when you take over a new house. Not | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
to mention the 100 animal enclosures, which are also in need | :17:46. | :17:53. | |
of some attention. All the buildings need to be pulled down and start | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
again. I had a look at the wiring and things like that. The best you | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
could say was it was creative. Anyone can buy a zoo but without | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
proper qualifications, not everyone can on one. So Dean and Tracy are | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
keeping on all five specially trained keepers. The zookeepers | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
pretty much run all the animal care. We do intend to get involved with | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
that, but we are very much directed by them at the moment. Because they | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
know what they are doing. The routines that you have to learn, the | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
regulations you have to do abide by. That white marmoset, in the winter I | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
leave it to about eight or 9pm, because they have more light time. | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
With the whole family keen to help out... Who wants some fruit. There | :18:41. | :18:47. | |
are still plenty of tasks, like feeding the animals. Even the | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
children can get involved. I was concerned originally because it's a | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
big movement we have drag them away from friends and everything they | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
know. At first I thought they were crazy, and now I think they are | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
still crazy, but life is life. They don't like lettuce! Zookeeper told | :19:04. | :19:11. | |
us not to put them in there. The Tweedy family are beginning the | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
biggest adventure of their lives. But with more than 20,000 visitors | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
last year, can they make their first summer season a success? They have | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
run with the previous owners. It makes no sense for us to buy it off | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
you when we can buy at ourselves. But you can't, that's why. Staff | :19:29. | :19:38. | |
calling in favours. I take subs quite often. You're right with that? | :19:39. | :19:44. | |
Not really. And the arrival of two new raccoon dogs to content with. | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
It's incredibly stressful right now, but they are spending the rest of | :19:49. | :19:51. | |
their life here so we have to make things right for them. We'll run in | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
a zoo be tougher than they ever imagined? It feels like it will take | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
forever to get where we want to be. Good night everybody! | :20:00. | :20:05. | |
We'll be catching up with the Tweedys over the coming | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
weeks and follow them as they take delivery of a group of raccoon | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
Raccoon dogs has been for sale in Britain. We will talk about it in a | :20:14. | :20:28. | |
second. Shania wants to learn more about them. It's a wild animal. It's | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
not a raccoon, it's a primitive dog, closely related to foxes and wolves, | :20:35. | :20:41. | |
not like domestic breeds. They come from far Asia, like Japan. In | :20:42. | :20:47. | |
behaviour they are like a common red Fox, opportunistic scavengers, and | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
they eat anything. In Japan they have a subspecies called tanuki. | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
There is a long history of legends and folklore associated with them. | :20:58. | :21:00. | |
They look very cute and cuddly and they are a hit on social media. But | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
they are very wild. And they are not great pets. But it's not illegal to | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
buy or sell them at the moment. At the minute it isn't. But the RSPCA | :21:10. | :21:16. | |
has said there are growing problems with them. In 2015 there were four | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
complaints and two dogs were taken away. 15 in 2016. It is growing. | :21:21. | :21:28. | |
They are nocturnal, they hibernate, unlike other dogs. They need a lot | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
of space, they are timid and they bite. They can bring diseases like | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
rabies to the UK. And they is a thing called fox tapeworm which can | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
be fatal to us. It isn't illegal to buy and sell them at the moment. In | :21:43. | :21:48. | |
Clitheroe recently the animal fur market, one was spotted for sale. In | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
a couple of years it will be illegal. It's on the European | :21:54. | :21:59. | |
regulation list so by February 2019 they will be illegal to have in the | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
UK. But if you can't cope with one and throw it into the countryside, | :22:04. | :22:10. | |
that's breaking the law. In Sweden, Finland and Latvia, big populations | :22:11. | :22:12. | |
of wild dogs are chomping their way through the native wildlife. | :22:13. | :22:19. | |
Surround yourself with more suitable dogs is the answer. Shania, this is | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
a picture of you with one of your lovely hounds. He's lovely! It's a | :22:24. | :22:30. | |
chic and her name is Melanie. She is a bench labrador. And you love the | :22:31. | :22:37. | |
little puppy called Bramble of Mike's. This is my new dog. We | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
picked him up yesterday from the Yorkshire Dales. He's called | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
Bramble. He was eating blackberries before he came home. He threw up | :22:48. | :22:53. | |
back breeze all over the house. And my new son has a new friend. Matt | :22:54. | :23:02. | |
said he was heard in him. He's my little boy with Bramble. Chuffed to | :23:03. | :23:09. | |
bits and we are in love. We will see you on one man and his dog very | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
shortly. Shania has been at the top | :23:13. | :23:14. | |
of her game for decades - but we're about to meet someone | :23:15. | :23:17. | |
who has been waiting 32 years But now his pipe | :23:18. | :23:20. | |
dream has come true. The master of choristers and | :23:21. | :23:34. | |
organist at Durham Cathedral, James Lancelot, is retiring after 32 years | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
in the job. He's being succeeded by this man, Daniel Cook, who has been | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
planning his career move since the age of six. I first realised I | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
wanted to play the organ on a day trip to York Minster. As we walked | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
around I realised that this particularly mysterious and grand | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
and loud instrument was something that really interested me. I took my | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
mother's arm and said, I want to play the organ. Once I started on | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
the organ it was something I just couldn't give up. It felt like a | :24:08. | :24:13. | |
drug, almost. I was addicted to it. Most of my friends at school called | :24:14. | :24:16. | |
me Mozart, which they rather helpfully mispronounced as moes art. | :24:17. | :24:25. | |
Some of the organists turned him away and said he should have gone to | :24:26. | :24:28. | |
a private school. I was cross because of people have a gift they | :24:29. | :24:31. | |
shouldn't be taught in a private school to get where they want to go. | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
It wasn't long before Daniel started to carefully plot his career path | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
and it turned out to be no pipe dream. Early on he said, I'm going | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
to play at Durham Cathedral and at Westminster Abbey and the Albert | :24:45. | :24:50. | |
Hall. The organist's world is a particularly interesting one because | :24:51. | :24:53. | |
there are a very small number of positions available and usually you | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
have to wait until somebody retires before you can go to a job you might | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
have really wanted. And I have a list, and I'm slightly ashamed to | :25:02. | :25:04. | |
admit, of people's dates of birth so I know when they might retire. I | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
happened to see that James lands a lot would retire in my late 30s, and | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
I hoped I would find myself in the right place, and I have. -- James | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
Lancelot. Before moving to Durham, I've been the sub organist at | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
Westminster Abbey for the last few years. Wonderful state occasions, | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
and I have played the organ in the presence of the Queen many times. I | :25:28. | :25:30. | |
wanted to be part of everything he's doing, because you can be like that | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
as a mother sometimes. I found he was playing in so many things and it | :25:35. | :25:37. | |
was such a big production, I couldn't afford tickets! And so for | :25:38. | :25:43. | |
some of the events I had to stand at the back. To succeed James Lancelot | :25:44. | :25:49. | |
in a place like this is a scary thing for me. Not least because he | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
has been organist here since I was six years old. I have never really | :25:55. | :25:57. | |
known this building without him as the organist. We were thrilled when | :25:58. | :26:07. | |
Daniel was appointed. He was one of the founder members of our consort | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
of singers, the volunteer choir that started in 1997. Every Cathedral | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
thinks it has the best organ in the country, but in Durham's case it's | :26:17. | :26:20. | |
true. A wonderful instrument, and after 32 years I don't think I have | :26:21. | :26:23. | |
explored all the different sounds it can make. It's a wrench because it | :26:24. | :26:31. | |
involves leaving the job I love and home I've been for 32 years. He | :26:32. | :26:37. | |
knows what's come before him. I'm sure he will build on that and go | :26:38. | :26:44. | |
from strength to strength. To work here as master of the choristers and | :26:45. | :26:48. | |
organist is a dream and to finally achieve that ambition gives me a | :26:49. | :26:50. | |
wonderful feeling. STUDIO: Get him on your next track, | :26:51. | :27:07. | |
Shania. But it is a work-out. Both hands and feet going at the same | :27:08. | :27:13. | |
time. It's very close to my heart. And you are playing in the radio to | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
festival live in Hyde Park at the weekend. What will you be wearing on | :27:18. | :27:23. | |
Sunday? -- the radio two Festival. I don't know. Will it be | :27:24. | :27:30. | |
leopard-print? I would like to have some sparkle. I have a few options | :27:31. | :27:35. | |
with me. I'm looking forward to it. That's the costumes. Can we talk | :27:36. | :27:41. | |
about the music? I have been given 30 minutes to get out there and have | :27:42. | :27:49. | |
some fun! And get reunited with the crowd again. You will hear the hits. | :27:50. | :27:58. | |
A couple of new songs. I will have the new one. That will go down a | :27:59. | :28:04. | |
treat. And the upcoming single. And the rest will be all things from, | :28:05. | :28:09. | |
you know, years ago, that everybody can sing along to. Shania, it's been | :28:10. | :28:15. | |
fascinating talking to you tonight. Thank you for being so open with us. | :28:16. | :28:19. | |
I hadn't realised it had been such an incredible challenge to get back | :28:20. | :28:22. | |
where you are, but everyone will agree it's wonderful to see you back | :28:23. | :28:28. | |
and hearing as well. So great, wouldn't you agree? APPLAUSE | :28:29. | :28:31. | |
Thank you so much for spending time with us tonight. We really | :28:32. | :28:32. | |
appreciate it. Shania, good luck with | :28:33. | :28:37. | |
the new album "Now", And Hyde Park on Sunday. In | :28:38. | :28:47. | |
something sparkly. I better wear something sparkly now! | :28:48. | :28:51. | |
Tomorrow, Gabby and I be | :28:52. | :28:53. |
