:00:19. > :00:26.Hello and welcome to your bank holiday One Show. Tonight's guest
:00:27. > :00:29.presents a programme called Vertigo Roadtrip giving advice and support
:00:30. > :00:34.to people who are scared when faced with tall, unstable structures.
:00:35. > :00:45.However, we cannot help wondering if she is the right person for the job.
:00:46. > :00:52.Please welcome Mel Giedroyc. Hello. Can I just say, everybody thought
:00:53. > :00:56.that was my fault. I promise you, I didn't touch it. My finger was just
:00:57. > :01:02.holding the knitting needle which was made of icing, which is probably
:01:03. > :01:07.the most unstable thing. At least France's went on to win. She was
:01:08. > :01:19.amazing. What are you out with real heights? This is lovely, by the way.
:01:20. > :01:26.Nice and clean, nice and low. It is that weird thing, going up health
:01:27. > :01:35.Alan, the tall hill, mountain in the Lakes, fine, but going up the
:01:36. > :01:47.stepladder, it isn't. Since I have kids I am a lot more wary. As a
:01:48. > :01:58.young lad I would be anything but now I think I'm on, let's carry on.
:01:59. > :02:05.Flammable materials and things? I am across it all. More about Mel's new
:02:06. > :02:14.show later and we will be meeting super vet Noel Fitzpatrick. Official
:02:15. > :02:17.figures from Madrid show that the number of British people registered
:02:18. > :02:27.as living in Spain fell by 90,000 last year. Joe has been to Almeria
:02:28. > :02:31.to find out why. For years it has been the dream of many a Brit to fly
:02:32. > :02:38.south, leave it all behind and start a new life here in sunny Spain. But
:02:39. > :02:40.now it seems there is a new trend, escape from the continent. Thousands
:02:41. > :02:48.of British people returning to the UK. In 2003 and estimated 33,000
:02:49. > :02:52.Brits moved to Spain that things have changed. In 2012 only 6000 came
:02:53. > :02:59.to live here, and thousands of others left with a fluctuating pound
:03:00. > :03:04.playing a major part. What was it like eight, ten years ago, everybody
:03:05. > :03:13.was coming here? Yes, that it was good. All of a sudden the currency
:03:14. > :03:17.changed and people didn't allow for the change in money. When I came
:03:18. > :03:23.here people had to Japan's weak, they can live really well. But it
:03:24. > :03:28.has gone. They cannot afford to stay here. They all start running home.
:03:29. > :03:36.Today the golf course was empty. The rub: That was three quarters full.
:03:37. > :03:41.-- one year ago. Sandra moved here in 2008. She is not going anywhere.
:03:42. > :03:46.Is it affordable to live here? I know it must have gone up in price.
:03:47. > :03:51.Prices have gone up, but not all that much. Are you one of the lucky
:03:52. > :04:00.ones, did other people get caught out? I think people fall for the
:04:01. > :04:06.dream, they see a fantastic filler, and think that is what they want
:04:07. > :04:11.because they can get it cheaper than it a lot, too done in the UK. But
:04:12. > :04:20.then I have got to run it. They don't think about the running costs.
:04:21. > :04:27.A lot of the problem was when people went to the banks and took out
:04:28. > :04:30.mortgages, and they were being encouraged to buy another one to
:04:31. > :04:36.rent out to cover the mortgage. Spain suffered a deeper recession
:04:37. > :04:41.than the UK. In 2007 and average two-bedroom apartment in Alicante
:04:42. > :04:48.would cost you 181,000 euros. Today it has fallen by 31%. It is putting
:04:49. > :04:56.thousands of British expats into negative equity. We bought our place
:04:57. > :05:04.five years ago. Just over 300,000 euros. We have now got it on the
:05:05. > :05:09.market, not to go home but if someone else, it is 190,000. It
:05:10. > :05:12.seems like a mighty fine place, you must be Bruce. Bruce has an extra
:05:13. > :05:16.problem which means he might never get back any of the money he paid
:05:17. > :05:19.for his house. Eight years ago he and his wife sold their
:05:20. > :05:22.three-bedroom house in Saint Ives in Cambridgeshire and poured everything
:05:23. > :05:27.they had into buying this 300,000 euros property in south-east Spain.
:05:28. > :05:31.I thought the wife deserved a mansion and that is what we want
:05:32. > :05:34.for. Now it is practically worthless for soppy cannot sell it because
:05:35. > :05:38.despite it being granted full planning permission by the local
:05:39. > :05:41.town hall the regional government of Andalusia says it should never have
:05:42. > :05:48.been built on what it says is rusted land. But legal battles it isn't
:05:49. > :05:53.allowed mains electricity or water and runs the risk of being
:05:54. > :05:58.bulldozed. Howard set are you? I am nearly in tears thinking about it.
:05:59. > :06:05.It is not a nice thing to have to go back eight years, start again, we
:06:06. > :06:09.left for a better life. I cannot wait to drink tap water, tell a
:06:10. > :06:14.light switch on. I'm fed up with torches, solar lights. He is looking
:06:15. > :06:29.up and moving leaving fronts and neighbours behind.
:06:30. > :06:36.Just imagine turning the key, finally saying goodbye to everything
:06:37. > :06:44.you have worked for, your life savings, years of hard work, just
:06:45. > :06:48.leaving it behind. Abandoning it. We meet a couple who have just moved
:06:49. > :06:52.over to start a new life, and they are delighted with a new home. It
:06:53. > :06:56.must surprise you slightly you are in the minority in that more people
:06:57. > :06:59.are now coming back to the UK and coming out here. We hear that but
:07:00. > :07:06.nobody we know wants to move back. We have never met anybody who wants
:07:07. > :07:11.to go back. You cannot go through what I would cost nine at night in a
:07:12. > :07:17.T-shirt. Bruce and his wife back in the UK
:07:18. > :07:22.and we are told they are feeling much happier about the future.
:07:23. > :07:26.Mel's new programme Vertigo Roadtrip explores the world of phobias and
:07:27. > :07:33.looks at how people 's fears can be overcome. What are our viewers
:07:34. > :07:41.afraid of? Let's just hope it is not Mike Dilger. Be afraid, be very
:07:42. > :07:46.afraid. We face frightening situations like this, our bodies go
:07:47. > :07:52.nuts and we experience fear. This irrational fear is simple. It helps
:07:53. > :07:55.us stay alive. I am hero irrational fear is simple. It helps
:07:56. > :07:59.world of adventures to find out what irrational fear is simple. It helps
:08:00. > :08:05.Wasps and bees. When I see when irrational fear is simple. It helps
:08:06. > :08:14.will run, anything. You know when you hear the buzz. Why don't you
:08:15. > :08:23.like them, I thought clowns would be fine? I don't like snakes. I hate
:08:24. > :08:29.creepy crawlies. It is when the head moves and the tongue flicks out, the
:08:30. > :08:32.thought of that coming towards me. I just react on instinct. I am feeling
:08:33. > :08:41.itchy now even talking about it. With the help of a cognitive wave
:08:42. > :08:45.your therapist we have asked to people to face the phobias. This is
:08:46. > :08:55.American red legged tarantula. Who is in charge? The spider. I know if
:08:56. > :09:05.she moved and new would have to pull back. Are you worried about being
:09:06. > :09:14.bitten? That's tied the, yes. They will buy it as a last resort. By
:09:15. > :09:25.facing your fear is upsides. -- it subsides. I don't think so. Denise
:09:26. > :09:30.is terrified of snakes. It is easy for me to say, there is nothing to
:09:31. > :09:36.be scared of. Look how far you have come already. Looking at the snake,
:09:37. > :09:48.in the same room. Move a bit closer. Yes. It is quite nice. It is really
:09:49. > :10:04.nice. Any chance of hanging it on you? There you go. Really, really
:10:05. > :10:16.well done. Thank you so much. You have made my day.
:10:17. > :10:25.Well done to her for doing that. It is the tongue. Clowns, I was
:10:26. > :10:37.petrified of plants as a young lad. Father Christmas. Wasn't keen. Darth
:10:38. > :10:44.Vader, the guy inside, but not the voice, Green Cross code man, in the
:10:45. > :10:48.70s. Showing my age. I was a bit scared of him as the Green Cross
:10:49. > :10:57.code man. He helped Jordan cross the road. He is a good guy. On a very
:10:58. > :11:05.serious note your tackles fear of heights. Just set the scene. A
:11:06. > :11:11.disparate group, all ages, five of them with different types of fear.
:11:12. > :11:16.Jodie, 19, studying to be a nurse in Manchester. She cannot go up flights
:11:17. > :11:23.of stairs that have gaps in them. That is a big issue. Louise, 61,
:11:24. > :11:27.can't go over a bridge. There was an unfortunate incident in childhood
:11:28. > :11:40.where she was left on a bridge. Glenn, amazing, he is my favourite.
:11:41. > :11:44.Such a great bloke. Two sons, doesn't want to pass on the fear.
:11:45. > :11:56.Lee, who stated in. Quite alpha male, amazing guy, terrified of
:11:57. > :12:03.diving boards. And Pauline. Let's go back to Louise. This is how serious
:12:04. > :12:06.it is. I can just see the edge and I have
:12:07. > :12:13.got to walk along to get your bridge. A typical rate of breathing
:12:14. > :12:16.is 15 inhalations per minute but in her panic she is snatching a breath
:12:17. > :12:23.every two seconds, worrying the team medic. She is going into the realms
:12:24. > :12:35.of hyperventilating. Her breathing increases more we will have to step
:12:36. > :12:41.in. She is really shaking, Orlova. -- all over. I am not sure how she
:12:42. > :12:44.will get anywhere near it. One of the techniques you employ is
:12:45. > :12:51.exposure therapy. Tell us what was going on. It sounds a bit mean but
:12:52. > :12:55.it does work. You are afraid of something, in a nutshell you are
:12:56. > :13:01.exposed to it in ever increasing amounts. They were really brave.
:13:02. > :13:08.Louise, bridges. We thought let's not do a bridge in London let's take
:13:09. > :13:14.her to a really deep ravine in Austria or Switzerland. I cannot
:13:15. > :13:20.remember which country it was. It was Austria. She was amazing. I
:13:21. > :13:26.didn't think she would make it out of the minibus, let alone cross the
:13:27. > :13:32.bridge. And the doctor, amazing psychologist, worked with her. We
:13:33. > :13:42.have just seen a shot of the world 's tallest building. Stop it, it's
:13:43. > :13:46.horrid. How is it for you. Horrible. I had to totally style lift out. I
:13:47. > :13:57.was stood there as a bit of a cheerleader, get them going. How you
:13:58. > :14:02.feeling? The Burj Khalifa, the building in Dubai, it shakes really
:14:03. > :14:07.badly for top they say at the bottom it is great, you will not feel a
:14:08. > :14:14.thing. 150 floors up, literally it is going like that. Not good. We can
:14:15. > :14:19.see who manages to face their fears are not on Wednesday when Vertigo
:14:20. > :14:24.Roadtrip will be on at 9pm on BBC One. Early on we heard from our
:14:25. > :14:30.viewers about their fears. I have got a little game. We know how much
:14:31. > :14:38.you love again. You will have to come up with the correct terms for
:14:39. > :14:52.what people are afraid of. Matt has got a little tray. Chiroptophobia,
:14:53. > :15:08.is that the fear of cheese, scissors, rabbits or rats. I have
:15:09. > :15:16.another option, knees. I'm thinking chiropractors so I'm thinking
:15:17. > :15:27.bones. I'm thinking knees. You are wrong, that was bats actually. I
:15:28. > :15:34.don't like bats! I'm scared of them, even Batman. The next one is
:15:35. > :15:47.turophobia. Is it a rabbit, some cheese, a mobile, a beard.
:15:48. > :15:58.Scissors. Is the pen involved? No? Take that away. I'm going to have to
:15:59. > :16:13.push you. It is a phobia of cheese. That has nothing to do with cheese.
:16:14. > :16:20.The last one, genuphobia. Knees! That is the end of the game. Well
:16:21. > :16:29.done. Have I got a prize? You can keep the knee! Anyway, Angela
:16:30. > :16:33.Lansbury has recently joined Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, and Penelope
:16:34. > :16:34.Keith in becoming a dame. The 88-year-old actress who
:16:35. > :16:38.Keith in becoming a dame. as amateur sleuth Jessica Fletcher
:16:39. > :16:39.Keith in becoming a dame. Murder, She Wrote talked to Gyles
:16:40. > :16:56.about what the honour means to Murder, She Wrote talked to Gyles
:16:57. > :17:00.to safety. The 14-year-old Angela Lansbury took
:17:01. > :17:01.to safety. The 14-year-old Angela and fortune. She would be a
:17:02. > :17:05.Hollywood starlet on the and fortune. She would be a
:17:06. > :17:14.of an eight decade career as a leading actress on stage and screen.
:17:15. > :17:21.Angela Lansbury is perhaps best known as amateur sleuth Jessica
:17:22. > :17:26.Fletcher in Murder, She Wrote which ran in more than 40 countries around
:17:27. > :17:30.the world. After so much success, you might assume Angela would think
:17:31. > :17:34.herself more American than British but she has never forgotten her
:17:35. > :17:41.London routes and the family that once walked the streets. I am really
:17:42. > :17:50.as English as you can possibly be. I was born in Hamilton Terrace in
:17:51. > :17:55.Regents Park. Angela 's grandfather, George, was a key figure in 20th
:17:56. > :18:04.century politics and became the leader of the Labour Party between
:18:05. > :18:08.1932 and 1935. He was a memorable figure in my young life. I remember
:18:09. > :18:14.going to the House of Commons, sitting on the terrace and having
:18:15. > :18:18.teeth and Dundee cake. George Lansbury became a much loved figure
:18:19. > :18:22.for the working class of east London. He was a fierce campaigner
:18:23. > :18:36.for women's rights, world peace and social justice. He was an absolute
:18:37. > :18:40.saint, he really was. He was a man of such conviction and belief in the
:18:41. > :18:46.things he held dear. He actually resigned from the House of Commons
:18:47. > :18:56.on behalf of women's suffrage and there are vast areas of the East End
:18:57. > :19:00.that are named after him. His whole thrust was frivolity and he cared
:19:01. > :19:06.about people. Angela 's father died at just 48 years of age. That was a
:19:07. > :19:13.tremendous loss for me because I was very fond of my dad, as most little
:19:14. > :19:20.girls are. I was just nine. My mother was left sort of bereft,
:19:21. > :19:25.losing my father. She decided that if she had the opportunity she felt
:19:26. > :19:32.it would be a wonderful given if she could take her children to America.
:19:33. > :19:38.You left at the time of the Blitz. Just before. In fact Liverpool was
:19:39. > :19:44.bombed as we literally steamed out to sea. How does this aspiring
:19:45. > :19:50.teenage actress end up in Hollywood making Gaslight? Through a friend.
:19:51. > :19:57.They said do you know an English girl, because we need an English
:19:58. > :20:02.girl to play a maiden Gaslight. Her performance earned her a Best
:20:03. > :20:07.supporting actress Oscar nomination, it was the beginning of a career
:20:08. > :20:18.still going strong. She recently won a Tony award for her performance in
:20:19. > :20:25.Noel Coward's Blithe Spirit. It was most exciting! It is this production
:20:26. > :20:32.that has brought her back home, where she is currently wowing
:20:33. > :20:37.audiences. Recently she was also made a dame by her Majesty the
:20:38. > :20:45.Queen. What is it like coming back here and being honoured by the
:20:46. > :21:03.Queen? It is so extraordinary, it is very... It really moves me. And
:21:04. > :21:07.rightfully. It is an amazing achievement. One of the obligations
:21:08. > :21:13.of being a dame is that you have to come here on a regular basis. I'm
:21:14. > :21:27.glad you pointed it out, I will take it to heart and use it. What a
:21:28. > :21:31.dame! She is beautiful, isn't she? Yes, and lovely to hear from Angela
:21:32. > :21:37.as well. You can catch her in Blithe Spirit at the Gielgud Theatre in
:21:38. > :21:40.London until June seventh. Time now to meet supervet Noel Fitzpatrick, a
:21:41. > :21:46.man who operates on animals at the very cutting edge of medical
:21:47. > :21:51.science. What we are looking for is anything bigger than that speck of
:21:52. > :22:01.white. At the moment I cannot see any evidence of spread in the lungs,
:22:02. > :22:09.which is good. That at least is a bit of a smile. My recommendation is
:22:10. > :22:16.to take that leg off now. Noel is here, a very emotional time for the
:22:17. > :22:20.family. How is he doing now? Luck he is doing great. Some dogs manage
:22:21. > :22:29.fantastically well on three legs and Scooby is one of them. Joseph is not
:22:30. > :22:34.so lucky, is he? No, he was abandoned in Manchester and he had
:22:35. > :22:38.his foot chopped off. When he was abandoned he was only nine weeks of
:22:39. > :22:43.age and he could not walk very well. He was hunched up with pain in his
:22:44. > :22:49.back and legs, he was not going to manage on three legs which is why
:22:50. > :22:55.we've made him of bionic leg. He has some ground-breaking technology.
:22:56. > :23:03.Tell us about this. We have developed this and it can allow skin
:23:04. > :23:08.to grow onto metal. This becomes a permanent part of his skeleton. I
:23:09. > :23:13.started this journey along time ago and the Holy Grail was to find a
:23:14. > :23:22.honeycomb mesh onto which the skin could stick. If you look at
:23:23. > :23:28.Joseph's foot, you can see he has a perfect seal between the skin and
:23:29. > :23:34.the metal so he can feel the ground. I started this journey because I saw
:23:35. > :23:40.my uncle Paul who only had a stump, and he had constant chafing. Today
:23:41. > :23:45.people put on prosthetic limbs and they have suction cups, but with
:23:46. > :23:51.this you can get the metal to bond to the skin. In theory you could
:23:52. > :23:56.roll this out to humans as well? Absolutely. I went fishing with
:23:57. > :24:04.Paul, and for the first time I saw his stump. It was knocked over the
:24:05. > :24:09.side of the boat so I spent a long time chasing it down the stream!
:24:10. > :24:14.This is the first time it has been seen on television and this could
:24:15. > :24:18.change life as we know it. Luck it is the first time it has been seen
:24:19. > :24:22.on television and it is the future of medicine, the future of how
:24:23. > :24:27.humans and animals can cooperate together. Our foundation is going to
:24:28. > :24:46.have a festival next year about this, and Supervet is all about that
:24:47. > :24:52.hope for animals and humans. Thanks to Joseph! If you have been out in
:24:53. > :24:55.the sun today, there's a good chance you might have slapped on some
:24:56. > :24:58.suncream. Tonight Michael Mosley investigates how sunscreens work and
:24:59. > :25:03.discovers that a brand new one may soon be available that has a natural
:25:04. > :25:09.origin. You can see some of the invisible
:25:10. > :25:12.damage sunlight causes using a special ultraviolet camera. It is
:25:13. > :25:18.important we try to prevent damage and protects skin. These days I tend
:25:19. > :25:25.to avoid too much direct sunlight and I also use a high protection
:25:26. > :25:30.factor suntan cream. Although they let visible light through,
:25:31. > :25:36.sunscreens are an effective barrier further damaging UV light, but how
:25:37. > :25:44.do they work? Professor Young is a world leader in understanding how
:25:45. > :25:49.sunlight affects skin. They work in two ways. We have a collection of
:25:50. > :25:55.the active ingredients, and they work either by absorbing the UV as a
:25:56. > :26:01.filter, or by scattering it, which is like having tiny mirrors on the
:26:02. > :26:16.skin. These synthetic compounds created barrier, is -- working like
:26:17. > :26:21.pigments in paint. These respond to invisible ultraviolet light, which
:26:22. > :26:26.is why, with our camera, they looked like black paint. Their
:26:27. > :26:32.effectiveness at stopping burning is measured by the sun protection
:26:33. > :26:42.factor. This is factor 50, what does that mean? That is its ability to
:26:43. > :26:47.prevent sunburn. It will reduce the ultraviolet light by a factor of
:26:48. > :26:54.50, you get the 50th of the dose if you use it properly. Most of us
:26:55. > :26:58.don't apply nearly enough. This would be enough for a day and a half
:26:59. > :27:08.if you used it properly, three times a day on your whole body. I would
:27:09. > :27:13.expect that to last two weeks. In that case you would get virtually no
:27:14. > :27:18.protection from it. Now a team of researchers are testing a new
:27:19. > :27:23.sunscreen, but this one has a natural origin. I was working on the
:27:24. > :27:30.Great Barrier Reef and I could feel my skin burning. At the time it was
