:00:18. > :00:22.Hello thchl is the One Show. We hope you like what we've done with the
:00:23. > :00:27.place. Look at it. With Alex Jones And Matt Baker. Direct from Vienna
:00:28. > :00:31.these are Maestos Beja and Pluto Briosa. Two very beautiful, highly
:00:32. > :00:36.trained and incredibly pampered horses from the world's most famous
:00:37. > :00:41.riding school. We will be seeing them in action later. Mesmerising.
:00:42. > :00:45.They are go to go through reception and onto the news. We will be with
:00:46. > :00:49.you shortly. Looking fabulous. If you are more than a plane person
:00:50. > :00:53.than a pony person, we have the story of a daredevil landing that
:00:54. > :00:59.will send shivers down your spine this evening. We are also going to
:01:00. > :01:05.see how this lot here got on when we asked them to try and land a 737
:01:06. > :01:08.when they weren't expecting it. No easy feat at all. We will be
:01:09. > :01:13.launching a brand new Children In Need award in the name of the late,
:01:14. > :01:17.great, Sir Terry Wogan. A lot happening tonight. It's packed. To
:01:18. > :01:27.our guest this is evening. The first one doesn't suffer fools gladly.
:01:28. > :01:33.Let's play, The Weakest Link. Which broadcaster and former MP founded
:01:34. > :01:38.the teddy bear museum in Stratford-upon-Avon? I don't know.
:01:39. > :01:46.He sounds really dull. Brandreth bran. Which former Blue Peter
:01:47. > :01:51.Strictly Come Dancing dance was named as the male host of the One
:01:52. > :01:59.Show. I know this. It's on the tip of my tongue. It's gone. Sorry.
:02:00. > :02:03.Pathetic. Quizzes just aren't our thing, sorry. Do you think you can
:02:04. > :02:09.do the One Show? I think we would be better at that. I don't think so.
:02:10. > :02:27.How did you manage that? Clever editing. . I'm sure I never saided
:02:28. > :02:32.that to either of you. You never came on. . Questions cut together.
:02:33. > :02:40.You picked the part where I wasn't nice. You have an hour to make up
:02:41. > :02:45.for it. OK. Can you actually give us another question we might know the
:02:46. > :02:49.answer. Yes. No rehearse Al. Which fishie foodie and sport-loving Spice
:02:50. > :02:59.Girl are currently waiting in the wings? We know this, don't we? We
:03:00. > :03:09.doo-doo. -- do. It's Rick Stein and Mel C. Hello. Did you see the
:03:10. > :03:16.beautiful health authoritieses on your way in? Yes. We filmed... We
:03:17. > :03:20.didn't film the riding stables in Vienna. At the time we thought - do
:03:21. > :03:24.they have central heating, air conditioning? They were the most
:03:25. > :03:30.fabulous riding stables I have seen anywhere. You are allergic? I am.
:03:31. > :03:34.Sadly, yeah. My little girl is a big fan of horses. I think she is
:03:35. > :03:39.watching, I should say hello. She would be happy to see them. They are
:03:40. > :03:42.gorgeous. Beautiful. Incredible. We were talking about this daredevil
:03:43. > :03:47.landing, we are going on to this topic. It's just the most
:03:48. > :03:51.extraordinary story. When I take off and I'm up above the clouds I wonder
:03:52. > :03:58.if I needed to could I run into the cockpit and land that plane? Do you?
:03:59. > :04:02.Yeah. I don't think so. Well... Not judging by the opening. Carol
:04:03. > :04:10.Vorderman has met a man who had to keep his composure when disaster hit
:04:11. > :04:18.at 1,500 feet. As a trained pilot, I know that flying a plane is about
:04:19. > :04:22.technical skill, confidence and perfecting every manoeuvre. I love
:04:23. > :04:28.flying I have 350 hours of flying experience as a pilot. Imagine that
:04:29. > :04:32.you are a passenger, with no flying experience whatsoever, and the very
:04:33. > :04:41.worst thing happens - your pilot becomes unconscious. You have to
:04:42. > :04:45.land an aeroplane. That's exactly what happened to John Wyeldie. He
:04:46. > :04:49.was forced to take over a flight mid-air when his pilot friend
:04:50. > :04:54.slumped unconscious at the controls. I thought maybe he'd fainted. Then I
:04:55. > :05:00.tried to find a pulse. I couldn't find one. How were you feeling at
:05:01. > :05:07.that point? I was a bit worried. Ice thought - here I am, miles from
:05:08. > :05:13.home. What goes next? Mayday, mayday, mayday. John had never flown
:05:14. > :05:17.a plane, let alone land one. He had been in a cockpit before. He knew
:05:18. > :05:20.how to make contact with Air Traffic Control. These are the actual record
:05:21. > :05:34.prosecution that day. That's everybody's worst nightmare.
:05:35. > :05:40.John was told to change the planned landing spot and head for the larger
:05:41. > :05:43.Humberside Airport which had an illuminated runway to guide him in
:05:44. > :05:51.as night was falling. An RAF helicopter was scrambled to help
:05:52. > :05:56.him. An emergency call was put in to flight instructor, Roy Murray. I was
:05:57. > :05:59.about to sit down for my tea - can you get back to the airport. We have
:06:00. > :06:04.a problem. How serious is it? We can't tell you. Get back here as
:06:05. > :06:10.quickly as possible. Roy was tasked with talking John down safely.
:06:11. > :06:17.Hello, John. How are you? Not in the best of spirits, over.
:06:18. > :06:25.For many it would have felt like an impossible job. Flying a plane is
:06:26. > :06:32.incredibly complex and landing one is a huge challenge. I tried keeping
:06:33. > :06:38.calm and keeping myself calm. When you panic it's over. Roy was trying
:06:39. > :06:42.to get John to keep the plane at exactly the right speed and angle
:06:43. > :06:47.otherwise it could stall and fall out of the sky. As the plane
:06:48. > :06:53.approached the runway, Roy's worst fears were realised. When he stalled
:06:54. > :06:57.it, I thought this is not going to go well. The port wing, the left
:06:58. > :07:01.hand side, suddenly dropped. I could see this building go round and round
:07:02. > :07:07.in front of me. I was worried then that I wasn't going to make it at
:07:08. > :07:12.all. Just watch your height a minute John, you are down to 800 feet. We
:07:13. > :07:16.would like you up to 1,000 if Sorry about that possible. . Something
:07:17. > :07:23.went wrong and it dived to the left. Don't worry about it. I'm a bit
:07:24. > :07:29.cheeky. John somehow managed to level the plane. After flying for
:07:30. > :07:33.more than an hour and three unsuccessful atvrments at landing,
:07:34. > :07:40.time was running ought. At 7.27pm John came in for his fourth attempt.
:07:41. > :07:48.-- attempts. I was shaking like a leaf. I couldn't stop myself
:07:49. > :07:53.shaking. My mouth was so dry. I would have given ?1 million for a
:07:54. > :07:59.drink. You have made it. Well done. Thank God he's on the ground. That's
:08:00. > :08:05.what I thought to myself, yep. The paramedics rushed to the scene and
:08:06. > :08:09.found John's pilot friend had sadly died from a heart attack.
:08:10. > :08:14.Remarkably, this terrible other deal didn't put John off flying. Two
:08:15. > :08:18.weeks later he took up lessons. I think I am a lucky person. Being
:08:19. > :08:25.optimistic, that is what it probably is. I'm really optimistic. My glass
:08:26. > :08:31.is always half full. APPLAUSE.
:08:32. > :08:37.Also, Roy, the controller on the ground. I know. How calm was that?
:08:38. > :08:44.Amazing. The chief flying instructor you would expect him to be very
:08:45. > :08:53.calm. Actually, the guy in the plane, he sounded sort of relaxed.
:08:54. > :08:59.He needed a drink. I was so thirsty. You had Spice One. We did. If
:09:00. > :09:04.anything happened in the cockpit. You three were on board. Picture the
:09:05. > :09:09.scene, which one of you would take the controls? I would have a go, I
:09:10. > :09:15.think. I thought you might say that, Anne. You would be OK, Rick? Not
:09:16. > :09:21.really. Do you remember that ad, ten years ago, it ends with, "can
:09:22. > :09:25.anybody fly a plane in." We will take to the skies again because we
:09:26. > :09:30.have challenged these lovely people here not to land a light aircraft
:09:31. > :09:36.but to have a go at landing a 737 passenger jet. It's a simulator,
:09:37. > :09:41.just add that in. It's still really difficulty. That is later. Let us
:09:42. > :09:44.talk about your documents, you have Anne Robinson's Britain coming out.
:09:45. > :09:47.You ask four very important questions.s tell us what the
:09:48. > :09:52.questions are and why you choose them? OK. Are you a good enough
:09:53. > :09:57.mother? Are you happily married? What's wrong with being ugly? Body
:09:58. > :10:06.image and what's the point of your pet? It's out there. Heckles. The
:10:07. > :10:11.one tomorrow night is, are you a good enough mother. You need to
:10:12. > :10:17.listen and watch. Most of us think we aren't. It's actually a phrase
:10:18. > :10:21.from a psycho analyst in the 50s who said, all you have to be is a good
:10:22. > :10:24.enough mother so your children trust you. What happened is parenting has
:10:25. > :10:30.become a sort of competitive sport. It has. And so I look at the
:10:31. > :10:34.different methods of six families, I think. How they are doing. We won't
:10:35. > :10:41.really know the results for about 20 years. You have the high-pressure,
:10:42. > :10:43.high-performing family, religious family, home schooling family, the
:10:44. > :10:50.no school until seven years old family. Work before kids. Yeah. We
:10:51. > :10:53.will have a look at Kristina, mum of three who favours the diplomatic
:10:54. > :11:00.approach. Let's look at her in action. Do you want to ask Maxi what
:11:01. > :11:03.happened? I was telling you off because what ever you were doing it
:11:04. > :11:06.wasn't very good. I didn't want that to be on the TV
:11:07. > :11:12.because you might be embarrassed or something. OK. Is that what upset
:11:13. > :11:19.you? OK. Could you have used a different tone of voice? It wasn't a
:11:20. > :11:24.mean tone of voice. Oh, OK. Is all that negotiation necessary? Fine if
:11:25. > :11:27.you are in conflict resolution in Afghanistan, but in Wimbledon, I'm
:11:28. > :11:32.not sure it wouldn't be easier just to shut a few doors and go and pour
:11:33. > :11:40.herself a stiff drink. APPLAUSE You don't hold back then.
:11:41. > :11:44.You never do, do you? With all of these tech niece is there one that
:11:45. > :11:50.really kind of disgraced you or really opened your eyes? I think
:11:51. > :11:55.they... I didn't know you could home school without any supervision. We
:11:56. > :12:00.swapped two sets of parents and one, it's exhausting looking at her, her
:12:01. > :12:03.kids are in the gym at 6.00am. She stays with the other mum, they are
:12:04. > :12:07.11. Every day they walk to the woods. They haven't had any
:12:08. > :12:12.schooling. Every day they go to the woods. They go to the woods every
:12:13. > :12:16.day. To play and learn? Who will go to Oxford or any of them? It matters
:12:17. > :12:20.what your priority is. What it actually should be - are they happy,
:12:21. > :12:26.are they content, I think? The thing is, you are right. You are flooded
:12:27. > :12:29.with advice from the minute you announce you are pregnant everybody
:12:30. > :12:33.has a snip pet they want to share with you. Did you feel pressure Mel
:12:34. > :12:38.before you had your little girl? Yeah, I did. I think there is so
:12:39. > :12:41.much more out there now. So many books that everyone seems to be
:12:42. > :12:44.following as well. I remember reading stuff and things weren't
:12:45. > :12:48.going the way it said it was supposed to go in the books. I was
:12:49. > :12:52.giving myself a hard time. One day I thought - she's happy. I'm high
:12:53. > :12:59.pressury. Why don't we just enjoy it. There was life for mothers
:13:00. > :13:06.before Gina Ford. Rick is younger than me. In my day you had Dr Spock,
:13:07. > :13:12.there is nothing to worry about. If you are worried go to the doctor.
:13:13. > :13:19.That was it. Now there is this... It is so flooded. It's so important.
:13:20. > :13:23.It's almost as if my generation raised the glass ceiling for work
:13:24. > :13:27.and somehow we've smothered women when it comes to motherhood.
:13:28. > :13:33.Absolutely. I don't know if we have time to open the can of worms of the
:13:34. > :13:40.point of your pet. Let's try. Why did you decide to go there? Good
:13:41. > :13:43.question. It's a good question because there is that bit in your
:13:44. > :13:47.stomach. You have tightened your bottom of you will watch it and
:13:48. > :13:53.think - where do I come in this? Is it is an uncomfortable question. I
:13:54. > :14:00.have surrounded myself with animals. I love pets. I just love... You do.
:14:01. > :14:06.Life without an animal aura is a strange thing for me. Don't you
:14:07. > :14:15.think it's inexlickable that people havecrats? -- cats. You come round
:14:16. > :14:20.to rabbits a little bit. Stand by on the email inbox everyone. What can
:14:21. > :14:27.you talk to a fish about? Why would you have fish? You can find out
:14:28. > :14:33.tomorrow. They sing to each other. I love them on a plate. I feel sorry
:14:34. > :14:38.for them. Which bit do you feel sorry? When I look into their eyes.
:14:39. > :14:42.We knew we would need longer on this item, we knew it. Anne Robinson's
:14:43. > :14:46.Britain starts tomorrow at 8.00pm on BBC One.
:14:47. > :14:47.We've discussed parenthood and there's one issue
:14:48. > :14:50.that plays on the minds of all new mums - breastfeeding.
:14:51. > :14:53.We're always told that breast is best, but Britain has lower rates
:14:54. > :14:55.of breastfeeding than anywhere else in the world.
:14:56. > :15:08.Lisa and Vicky are brand-new mums. And are keeping video diaries of
:15:09. > :15:15.their first weeks breast-feeding their babies. Here goes. Finally got
:15:16. > :15:21.her to latch. She is now fairly happy about it. So why the interest
:15:22. > :15:27.in mums doing what mums do? Well it seems here in the UK, they don't.
:15:28. > :15:32.Only one in every 200 children here in the UK is breast fed to the age
:15:33. > :15:38.of one. Maybe Vicky and Lisa's experiences can help us understand
:15:39. > :15:41.why. Back in February, at a prenatal
:15:42. > :15:45.class both were keen to breast-feed. I would like to be able to
:15:46. > :15:48.breast-feed for between four to six months ideally. How I don't know if
:15:49. > :15:53.this is going to be possible. I would like to breast food for six to
:15:54. > :15:57.eight month, preferably, but I am not going to put myself under
:15:58. > :16:03.pleasure if it is not possible to do so. How will really match up to the
:16:04. > :16:08.theory? It is May and Lisa has just given birth to a baby boy. Arthur
:16:09. > :16:12.James is two-and-a-half days old. He is doing well. He didn't though what
:16:13. > :16:17.to do, it was a learning process for both of us. Her days and nights
:16:18. > :16:24.revolve round breast-feeding Arthur every couple of hours. It is 7.30 at
:16:25. > :16:29.night. I have been up since 6.30 in the morning and through the night.
:16:30. > :16:36.My days are merging into one. Arthur's three weeks old today so we
:16:37. > :16:42.have managed to do it. I am happy. Like most new mums lice is a's life
:16:43. > :16:47.is tears and tiredness It is emotional today. Today. Hormones are
:16:48. > :16:56.everywhere. Tutting Vicky gives birth to Olivia. This is her first
:16:57. > :17:02.feed, at just over 11 hours old. But after three days at home, a worrying
:17:03. > :17:07.development for Vicky and Olivia. Had a few complications in relation
:17:08. > :17:16.to Olivia's weight. She dropped quite a lot of weight after being
:17:17. > :17:22.born, and has not had enough breast fed milk, which has meant we are
:17:23. > :17:29.back in, back in hospital. I caught up with Lisa and Arthur,
:17:30. > :17:33.who is now 15 weeks old. So Lisa, it has been a rocky road for you, when
:17:34. > :17:37.it has come to breast-feeding? Yes. We thought it was going to be he
:17:38. > :17:43.would though what to do and I would. We didn't think it would be lots of
:17:44. > :17:48.trial and errors. One day we are up and doing well then something
:17:49. > :17:53.changes and we go back down again. Five weeks on from their early scare
:17:54. > :17:59.I meet up with Olivia and Vicky. We were readmitted to hospital because
:18:00. > :18:04.she lost 14% of birth weight. Describe what that is like to not be
:18:05. > :18:10.able to breast-feed your own baby. You can feel you are not bonding. I
:18:11. > :18:13.understand how some mothers go through postnatal depression, they
:18:14. > :18:20.can't provide the milk. I must be understand that is traumatising and
:18:21. > :18:24.it was for me a bit. Former midwife turned baby feeding specialist Clare
:18:25. > :18:27.Byam-Cook isn't surprised by our low breast-feeding rates and think the
:18:28. > :18:32.expert advice hasn't been entirely helpful. I think in recent years we
:18:33. > :18:36.have concentrated too much on telling mothers why they should
:18:37. > :18:40.breast-feed, and not nearly enough on examining why they are finding it
:18:41. > :18:46.so difficult. They all know it is best and it is best, but only if it
:18:47. > :18:50.is working well. It real I will do the babies no harm to be given
:18:51. > :18:55.formula. They will still grow up healthy and happy. Have their
:18:56. > :18:59.experiences changed our mum's plans to carry on breast-feeding. Are you
:19:00. > :19:04.considering breast-feeding after a year? No I want my life back. I
:19:05. > :19:09.understand the nutritional value but it is more the fact that I don't
:19:10. > :19:14.know if I want to. I don't know. I can't think beyond the few months we
:19:15. > :19:19.are doing now. I think I want to get myself back. I know my work
:19:20. > :19:26.pressures when I go back mean I may not be home in time to do that.
:19:27. > :19:30.Views echoed by working mums at the local breast-feeding support group
:19:31. > :19:35.It is hard for women to express, running a household, going back to
:19:36. > :19:38.work. It wasn't easy to get him on a bottle. When I go back to worker
:19:39. > :19:45.needs to take milk from someone else. There is one thing all new
:19:46. > :19:50.mums agree on: I love being a mummy but it is hard, the hardest job I
:19:51. > :19:55.have ever done. And the expert from the film Clare Byam-Cook joins us
:19:56. > :20:00.now. Welcome clear, we know that we are -- women find it hard to feed
:20:01. > :20:04.but that problem is universal. Why are less women here in the UK doing
:20:05. > :20:09.it than in any other country? I think, my real view is they are not
:20:10. > :20:13.as well prepared. So, at the moment, I feel there is far too much
:20:14. > :20:19.emphasis on why mothers should be breast-feed and not nearly enough on
:20:20. > :20:23.teaching them how. Everyone glosses over the potential problems, now, my
:20:24. > :20:29.daughter has just had a baby in Singapore, she got given a great big
:20:30. > :20:35.booklet about breast-feeding and to my amazingment many pages was
:20:36. > :20:39.devoted to common breast-feeding problems and listing all the common
:20:40. > :20:44.problems and what do if it happened. We don't do that here we don't like
:20:45. > :20:50.to mention any potential problems in case it frightens mothers. What if
:20:51. > :20:53.you can't breast-feed? You are left feeling really rough about it.
:20:54. > :20:59.Absolutely right. Funnily enough what the title of my book is and
:21:00. > :21:03.What If You Can't because I think lots of mothers can't, and that is
:21:04. > :21:08.why there is so much pressure saying you must do it. If the mother is
:21:09. > :21:12.failing, she is made the feel a failure rather than the experts
:21:13. > :21:17.recognising they are teaching her the wrong thing, which is why she
:21:18. > :21:24.can't do it, or she can't, in which case stop making her feel a failure.
:21:25. > :21:30.What would be a profile, I am taking over... Do I I have to answer this
:21:31. > :21:36.question correctly. The profile of somebody who would give up with and
:21:37. > :21:41.don't try any more.. The two main problems that can't always be sorted
:21:42. > :21:45.is mothers not having enough milk, so lots don't even though they are
:21:46. > :21:48.doing everything right and some babies can't suck properly, and
:21:49. > :21:54.people say that breast-feeding is natural, so everyone can do it,
:21:55. > :21:59.well, if you ask any farmer why he bottle-feeds some lambs it is
:22:00. > :22:04.because they can't breast-feed. And when you speak to a darely
:22:05. > :22:07.farmer he will tell you that not all his cows produce the same amount of
:22:08. > :22:11.milk. Some o prize dairy cows and others aren't. This is what I find
:22:12. > :22:16.with mothers and babies. One of the problems is as well, as a desperate
:22:17. > :22:20.mum is looking on internet sand seeing forums and kind of self
:22:21. > :22:25.diagnosing as well, which is, it can be a real issue. The forums can be
:22:26. > :22:28.helpful as support but in many cases they are dangerous, because you get
:22:29. > :22:33.these mothers, you know, like the other day I saw a mother had posted
:22:34. > :22:38.her baby had lost loads of weight and she was under a lot of pressure
:22:39. > :22:43.from the health professionals to give formula, and up pops a replay
:22:44. > :22:47.saying no, whatever you do don't give formula, that is the wrong
:22:48. > :22:53.thing, when my supply is low I ate a bit more. You think, how can you
:22:54. > :22:59.give this medical advice? Because your milk supply improved when you
:23:00. > :23:02.ate more, doesn't mean every mother in the world's world improve. Somes
:23:03. > :23:07.advice puts pressure and is dangerous. It comes at you from
:23:08. > :23:11.every angle from the off. And conflicting advice, if you ask any
:23:12. > :23:16.mother, one of the fist things they say is they didn't expect it to be
:23:17. > :23:19.as hard as it is. They feel a failure if they can't get past
:23:20. > :23:23.square one, which is getting the baby to latch on and they get
:23:24. > :23:27.conflicting advice. We will have to leave it there. Thank you.
:23:28. > :23:31.Last week as we covered here on The One Show the friends and family of
:23:32. > :23:34.Sir Terry Wogan came together at Westminster Abbey to celebrate the
:23:35. > :23:40.life of a remarkable man. The tonight we have the privilege of
:23:41. > :23:43.launching an award in his nape. The Sir Terry Wogan Fundraiser of the
:23:44. > :23:47.Year Award. Recognising those who have in their own way fund-raised
:23:48. > :23:52.for BBC Children In Need. And inspired others do the same. More on
:23:53. > :23:57.that in a second. A word from Sir Terry himself first.
:23:58. > :24:02.Tonight we can all make it count. Really count for the children. The
:24:03. > :24:06.late Sir Terry Wogan was a tireless fund-raiser. For over 30 years he
:24:07. > :24:11.inspired thousands to donate their time and energy, to raising money
:24:12. > :24:17.for Children In Need. That wasn't worth a donation, I will
:24:18. > :24:21.fall down again! Fund-raisers have found drive, bold,
:24:22. > :24:26.and some might say plain silly ways to raise cash. What is going to
:24:27. > :24:39.happen? How much is coming off. Everything. Two people raised money
:24:40. > :24:45.by sitting in a bath of jelly. From the weird to the wacky. You mad
:24:46. > :24:51.demented fools. Dedoesn't do it without you. Every penny has helped
:24:52. > :25:00.to change a young life. Raising over ?840 million to date.
:25:01. > :25:01.And just when we think we have seen it all... The ideas just keep on
:25:02. > :25:20.coming. I am thunder struck, astounded and
:25:21. > :25:26.just astonished at the generosity of the British public.
:25:27. > :25:29.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE We do know that lots of you are
:25:30. > :25:34.already busy planning what you are going to do for Children In Need, so
:25:35. > :25:37.if you know of a person or a group that has shown creativity,
:25:38. > :25:42.commitment and inspiration while raising money for BBC Children In
:25:43. > :25:45.Need this year, do nominate them for the Sir Terry Wogan Fundraiser of
:25:46. > :25:50.the Year Award. You can nominate yourself. It is all about how you
:25:51. > :25:58.raised the money. So you can pick up a nomination form at your local post
:25:59. > :26:07.office branch and nominations close at midnight on 19th October.
:26:08. > :26:14.For full terms and conditions, they can be found on the Children In Need
:26:15. > :26:22.website. We have had a message from Sir Terry's son Mark.
:26:23. > :26:27.We hope this award continues to encourage the great work of the
:26:28. > :26:30.public and they do on behalf of Children In Need. We would like to
:26:31. > :26:35.thank, Matt Baker, for coming up with the idea, and help to create a
:26:36. > :26:39.real legacy of which we as a family are proud. Well that is very nice to
:26:40. > :26:49.here. -- hear. APPLAUSE
:26:50. > :26:53.It is a way of keeping his legacy going. Let us talk about long
:26:54. > :26:57.weekend. We have loved looking through this book, we have planned a
:26:58. > :27:02.weekend from start to finish. Friday to Sunday. So it's a television
:27:03. > :27:08.series and a book that cones sizing together. Yes, when I started it I
:27:09. > :27:14.was thinking this is a bit difficult to make that book, right. It went on
:27:15. > :27:23.to fantastic Bordeaux, you name it, places of fabulous food and you
:27:24. > :27:25.think, well, I am going to get some unbelievably good recipes, which of
:27:26. > :27:30.course, but they are making it into a book that people want to buy, what
:27:31. > :27:36.is that? Then I suddenly started thinking about my youth, right, when
:27:37. > :27:41.I was in my 20s and 30s we had the restaurant in Padstow, we shut in
:27:42. > :27:46.the, at the end of September, and we didn't open again, my and my first
:27:47. > :27:51.wife Gill, till March. Every winter, we would go away, we would go way to
:27:52. > :27:56.places like Australia and India and all that, but also, we would invite
:27:57. > :28:00.friends down for a long weekend. We would start, I would cook and it was
:28:01. > :28:04.a good opportunity for me to practise things I didn't, that
:28:05. > :28:09.weren't fish, really. We used to start cooking on a Friday fight and
:28:10. > :28:12.they would come down, they would be a bit frazzled because they had been
:28:13. > :28:16.driving down Cornwall from London, so I would make something quick and
:28:17. > :28:21.easy, on Saturday nobody got up particularly early so I would make a
:28:22. > :28:23.brunchy thing, then we might have a bit of lunch but the thing that
:28:24. > :28:30.mattered was Saturday night. That was the big one. And in the book I
:28:31. > :28:38.wrote Saturday night's all right for fighting, right? But it wasn't, and
:28:39. > :28:45.I put, about Friday night, the easy beats, Monday got Friday on my mind,
:28:46. > :28:49.so, what I meant was that Saturday night you are so bowled up, it is
:28:50. > :28:54.like a restaurant, it is about doing something big. Sunday, you are
:28:55. > :29:00.starting to run down a bit, Sunday lunch is a family thing so all the
:29:01. > :29:06.recipe in the books are all for family things you share as a family,
:29:07. > :29:12.then Saturday, Sunday night, is comfort, it is food you make,
:29:13. > :29:17.because you have week ahead and you don't want to think about it. You
:29:18. > :29:21.want something nice, plus I think people tend to cook more and cook
:29:22. > :29:26.more elaborate things at the weekend because they have time to I got the
:29:27. > :29:31.idea from when I was little, in my house in the holiday house we had in
:29:32. > :29:36.Cornwall, they had a book called The Weekend Book, and it was, it was...
:29:37. > :29:42.It was your mum's book. Yes, it was what you did before there was TV, it
:29:43. > :29:47.was full of puzzles and singalong songs and recipes, and that is the
:29:48. > :29:50.sort of idea in my mind, it is the weekend, it is special.
:29:51. > :29:59.It's a travelogue as well. Yes. You have taken the recipes from all over
:30:00. > :30:02.the place, off the beaten track? The thing about the programme, it's not
:30:03. > :30:08.just about the food, it's about enjoying where you are. Food is the
:30:09. > :30:11.way into it. Local food, that's in any particular area, it's a good way
:30:12. > :30:17.of understanding what people are all about. We will have a look at how
:30:18. > :30:27.much you enjoyed Iceland. Iceland! What! I will summon up courage as
:30:28. > :30:35.the smell coming off it is actually revolting. OK, here we go. Crikey!
:30:36. > :30:40.You have tasted it before? No I haven't. Relaxed your face. Enjoy
:30:41. > :30:45.it. Breathe in. I can't breathe in, it's coming out of my nose. It's the
:30:46. > :30:55.most disgusting thing I've ever tasted. What was that then, Rick?
:30:56. > :31:00.Nice sweater. Very nice jumper. I love the range of emotions you go
:31:01. > :31:14.through in 15 seconds. It's fun doing it. It's only ammonia. You
:31:15. > :31:19.know... Shark, what was that? Skate. The member of a shark family. What
:31:20. > :31:24.was great, I said to the crew, right, anything I taste, you've got
:31:25. > :31:31.to taste. We set it up a bit. The next shot is them sort of... Come
:31:32. > :31:42.on. There you go! They can't get out quick enough. That's the bit I love.
:31:43. > :31:47.Pete really tripped up. I know him. You know he's a bit clumsy. He
:31:48. > :31:54.tripped up on the wire. It wasn't set up. That is your perfect
:31:55. > :31:58.Saturday night dish then. Rick Stein's Long Weekends comes out
:31:59. > :32:06.tomorrow and the series, you saw the footage there, continues on BBC Two
:32:07. > :32:10.later this autumn. It's almost time to join the magnificent horses of
:32:11. > :32:15.Vienna. They're the royalty of the riding
:32:16. > :32:18.world and they each travel Before that we sent our own grooming
:32:19. > :32:21.guru, Michael Douglas, to a very different kind
:32:22. > :32:23.of equestrian event. Welcome to the Stow Horse Fair
:32:24. > :32:26.here in the heart of the Cotswolds. For Romany gypsies this 540-year-old
:32:27. > :32:28.event is a regular It's a mud-spattered world of horse
:32:29. > :32:37.trading, deals, bridles and whips. Just like a normal day
:32:38. > :32:40.in the salon for me. But it's not just horses that need
:32:41. > :32:42.grooming round here. The fair is a huge social gathering
:32:43. > :32:45.where old friends meet and everybody First up is Ryalla Duffy,
:32:46. > :32:53.who's been coming here for 30 years. I wash it once a week,
:32:54. > :33:02.usually with horse I was brought up in a bowtop wagon,
:33:03. > :33:14.very much like this. Mum and dad would sleep in a bed
:33:15. > :33:21.at the back and the younger children And then the older boys would sleep
:33:22. > :33:24.underneath the wagon, again on a bed of straw,
:33:25. > :33:27.with the sheep round. They were very hardy
:33:28. > :33:31.people in those days. Bad weather aside, another element
:33:32. > :33:34.that the Romany Gypsies can Shops close, businesses
:33:35. > :33:41.close, pubs close. I think they feel that we are
:33:42. > :33:43.invading their little It's sad because the people that
:33:44. > :33:52.grew up on the land and that lived with the land and worked
:33:53. > :33:56.with the land, they have moved off and gone and we have sort of got
:33:57. > :33:59.the yuppies and guppies here now. And they are the ones
:34:00. > :34:02.that complain, bitterly. Let me take this off and I'll show
:34:03. > :34:04.you the goods. Over the four days of the fair,
:34:05. > :34:14.horses are bought, sold So next up is horse
:34:15. > :34:18.trader, John Doe. What kind of things are people
:34:19. > :34:20.looking for when they A good horse man will be able to age
:34:21. > :34:25.a horse by his teeth and What is this horse going
:34:26. > :34:32.by here, this is a beauty. That would be a heavy
:34:33. > :34:33.hunter-cum-wagon horse. All these horses seem to look very
:34:34. > :34:36.similar to me. They are all kind
:34:37. > :34:38.of black and white. They would be your standard
:34:39. > :34:39.gypsy cobs. Designed for pulling
:34:40. > :34:44.wagons in new trolleys. Whereabouts do you live,
:34:45. > :34:45.John? So you travel around
:34:46. > :34:50.with a horse-drawn caravan? All right, so it's like
:34:51. > :34:54.proper old school? I mean, this now would be
:34:55. > :35:04.like your full transit or your 7.5 This is the equivalent
:35:05. > :35:07.of a transit van? As much as the people,
:35:08. > :35:18.it's important that the horses Aaron Nicklin is a horse trader,
:35:19. > :35:28.too, and knows every Baby oil, that we put
:35:29. > :35:35.through there. Stow Horse Fair used to stand out
:35:36. > :35:44.from the rest, too, There's a lot of sales,
:35:45. > :35:47.you can advertise online, so you don't have to
:35:48. > :35:49.come to these places. People actually come out
:35:50. > :35:52.to your own home, try the horse. So you don't have all
:35:53. > :35:54.the travelling or anything. So what is the future for you,
:35:55. > :35:57.if that is the case? I think we just have to go
:35:58. > :36:00.along with it, really. And if it is the case if we have
:36:01. > :36:03.to advertise on the internet, It would be a shame to see this
:36:04. > :36:08.fair, this glance back But the Romany Gypsies have been
:36:09. > :36:14.adapting for over 500 years. And as Aaron attests,
:36:15. > :36:17.they will continue to do so. Give it to me straight
:36:18. > :36:38.from the horse's Did you hear that lady's secret to
:36:39. > :36:44.her hair? Horsham piano. I'm going to try it. I got you some. Mane and
:36:45. > :36:51.tail. Let me have a smell. It's lovely. There you are. Have a sniff.
:36:52. > :36:56.It's nice, isn't it. Very nice. These are the horses of the span
:36:57. > :36:59.beish riding school of Vienna. They travel with a full-time groomer.
:37:00. > :37:03.Thank you for bringing the horses and joining us this evening. Lovely
:37:04. > :37:08.to see you. The school has been going for an incredible 450 years,
:37:09. > :37:13.hasn't it? Why is the school so famous and so important in the
:37:14. > :37:17.riding world? It's the only school that correct the classical art of
:37:18. > :37:23.riding alive for these 450 years that you just said. This dates back
:37:24. > :37:32.the classical art of riding before Christ. We still train the horses
:37:33. > :37:37.after their principles. You have hopped off your horse for us. The
:37:38. > :37:41.important thing is the breed, this is lipizzaner. Yp are they well
:37:42. > :37:51.suited to this riding you talk about? The breed that comes out of
:37:52. > :37:58.Spanish blood lines is so good for the Spanish... Oh, yes. He wants you
:37:59. > :38:04.back. No, it's because it suits the whole performance, the jumps, the
:38:05. > :38:09.drills. Some horses have enough gaits for solo performance and
:38:10. > :38:12.movement. The whole performance we have with the Spanish Riding School
:38:13. > :38:16.we can do with these horses. You absolutely adore the job. You have
:38:17. > :38:20.been there since you were 15 riding, haven't you? Yes. How do you travel
:38:21. > :38:25.the horses? You tour all over the world. You are very careful of them.
:38:26. > :38:30.What does the process involve when you take them from one country to
:38:31. > :38:33.another. We take care with who transport the horses and the grooms.
:38:34. > :38:39.The grooms who come with the horses know them already. We have to take
:38:40. > :38:44.care of them. Are they divas? Some of them. I thought they might be.
:38:45. > :38:48.This is a first for you, isn't it, to be in a situation with this floor
:38:49. > :38:52.and everything and arena. It's wonderful you have done this. It's a
:38:53. > :38:55.real treat. It took the horses some minutes to warm-up and get used to
:38:56. > :39:00.the environment here. Which is so unusual. We are located in the
:39:01. > :39:07.middle of Vienna, the Spanish Riding School. This is still different.
:39:08. > :39:11.Absolutely. They are fine. She's broken the mould, hasn't she.
:39:12. > :39:15.Explain why? In 2008 we changed the rules, the traditions of the
:39:16. > :39:21.Spanishish riding school. It used to be a boys club. Since 2008 we take
:39:22. > :39:25.on women riders. Only since 2008. Come on, really? We tried to do it
:39:26. > :39:32.earlier. It took some time. Absolutely. Everybody loves to see a
:39:33. > :39:36.photograph of a foal. The interesting thing is about the foals
:39:37. > :39:41.of the lipizzaner is they are born black? They change twice a year
:39:42. > :39:45.their coat. Every time they change a little bit more, white hairs in.
:39:46. > :39:50.Eventually they look like that. Very nice. Can you explain some of the
:39:51. > :39:55.moves. Is Hannah doing anything specific. She is going for it. Can
:39:56. > :39:59.you explain. That is the most collected exercise on the schools on
:40:00. > :40:05.the ground. The horse needs to take more weight on the behind end, carry
:40:06. > :40:10.itself. Has to be very balanced. So this is a very high-level exercise
:40:11. > :40:14.that she just does. It's beautiful. It's so Majestic the way they move.
:40:15. > :40:18.Wonderful. A big thank you to Hannah. Do you want to give a name
:40:19. > :40:24.check to your horses. I would hate to get them wrong. They are Maestos
:40:25. > :40:28.Beja and Pluto Briosa. Thank you to all from the Spanish Riding School
:40:29. > :40:31.of Vienna for making it happen. You will be performing live, going
:40:32. > :40:37.on a tour, London and Birmingham next month. Thanks for stopping by.
:40:38. > :40:40.Much appreciated. You're very welcome.
:40:41. > :40:43.Earlier we saw John Wyeldie successfully take the reigns
:40:44. > :40:45.of a light aircraft when its pilot collapsed.
:40:46. > :40:47.Now it's time to take to the skies once more.
:40:48. > :40:57.Carol Vorderman has set four non-pilots an even bigger challenge.
:40:58. > :41:03.John Wyeldie showed extraordinary courage when his pilot fell ill and
:41:04. > :41:07.had to land a light aircraft having never flown before in his life Co a
:41:08. > :41:12.person with no piloting experience go a step further and land a
:41:13. > :41:16.passenger jet? To find out I've brought four unsuspecting members of
:41:17. > :41:22.the public to this state-of-the-art aviation facility. These hi-tech
:41:23. > :41:27.simulators cost around about ?10 million each. Once you are inside
:41:28. > :41:33.they emulate an airliner in almost every single way. Our volunteers
:41:34. > :41:39.think they are here for a One Show science test, but they have no idea
:41:40. > :41:43.what that will be. In a few moments they will be thirst into the pilot
:41:44. > :41:47.seat of of a passenger jet in a mid-air emergency as if they have
:41:48. > :41:51.been summoned economy to land the plane. No pressure. No pressure,
:41:52. > :42:01.darling. How are you feeling right now? Terrified. Are you? To become
:42:02. > :42:04.an airline pilot takes years of intensive training. Our novices have
:42:05. > :42:09.minutes to get to grips with the controls. No pressure. The man
:42:10. > :42:28.talking them down is mergs instruct -- instructor. This
:42:29. > :42:34.is Joe. This is Andy. Who am I talking to. Joe. I will help you
:42:35. > :42:38.land this aircraft safely. With an arare of dials and controls, clear
:42:39. > :42:49.instructions from Andy will be vital. Lower the yoke. Which one,
:42:50. > :42:55.the steering wheel? Yes. Stressful. The yoke controls up, down, left and
:42:56. > :42:59.right and the throttle is the power. Both are critical to keeping the
:43:00. > :43:08.plane airborne and need careful handling. Emily, who has a fear of
:43:09. > :43:17.flying, struggles to keep control. If the plane tilts too far it could
:43:18. > :43:21.lose lift and plummet to the ground. She is banking hard. Look out of the
:43:22. > :43:27.window and roll the aeroplane level. Push forward on the stick. Keep
:43:28. > :43:31.pushing forward. Excellent. Well done. You are back in controlled and
:43:32. > :43:35.you're climbing. It could have gone badly wrong at that point. We were
:43:36. > :43:41.close to either stalling or spinning as well. Incredibly, all our pilots
:43:42. > :43:46.managed to keep the plane airborne. Flying is the easy bit. It's the
:43:47. > :43:55.landing that's the real challenge. Can you see lights in front of you?
:43:56. > :44:02.Yeah. Yeah. That's the airfield. The key to a good landing is getting the
:44:03. > :44:05.speed an approach angle right. Jess makes her first attempt. Hold
:44:06. > :44:11.everything as it is. You're doing really, really well. Nothing bad is
:44:12. > :44:22.going to happen here. Jess is coming in much too low. This is good. If
:44:23. > :44:29.you can just increase your pitch. Ah That's a crash. Yes. It's all over
:44:30. > :44:35.for Jess. Can operations manager, John, do any better? Aim at the
:44:36. > :44:44.runway. That's it. This is going to be quite steep. Flippin heck. Turn
:44:45. > :44:48.left. Oh, oh, oh... OK. Pitch up. Right, put full power on the engines
:44:49. > :44:54.and pitchup. That's it. Hold everything there. Level the wings.
:44:55. > :45:00.Oh, bloody hell, sorry. It's clear he is not going to make a safe
:45:01. > :45:02.landing. He has to aport. Emily makes her fine Al approach. Hold
:45:03. > :45:10.everything there. Hold everything there. And, so just keep it straight
:45:11. > :45:18.in the centre line. Excellent. You're down. Ha-ha. Yeah! Go girl!
:45:19. > :45:24.That was brilliant. Very well done, Emily. You did it.
:45:25. > :45:32.It turns out it isn't that easy to land an airliner, it shows why
:45:33. > :45:34.airline pilots go through years of training.
:45:35. > :45:37.APPLAUSE Joining us now we have
:45:38. > :45:39.simulator instructor, Andy Grunwell, and volunteers Joe,
:45:40. > :45:48.Jono and Jessica. Flipping heck! We had to beep a lot
:45:49. > :45:53.06 what you said? I know, I'm embarrassed! In all fairness, that
:45:54. > :45:58.was a big challenge, how realise tick was that in comparison to what
:45:59. > :46:03.the pilots go through? It is huge, it is equivalent to me taking Mel
:46:04. > :46:07.C's bit in the wannabe video. It is a good chance it might not turn out
:46:08. > :46:12.as well as it might have. For guys coming in off the streets like they
:46:13. > :46:18.did, to absorb that amount of information, startle factor in raw
:46:19. > :46:23.flying, was huge. My expectations would be we would be lucky to keep
:46:24. > :46:28.it in the air. In a normal situation how many instruments aid with that
:46:29. > :46:33.landing they won't have had there? The instruments are the same. It is
:46:34. > :46:39.the lack of automatics, the automatic pilots, which is how we
:46:40. > :46:44.fly, and again, to have them do that, stick rudder and throttle raw,
:46:45. > :46:50.it was immense. You said to me when we were watching that, there was so
:46:51. > :46:54.many buttons and controls, I mean, if fingers crossed, it shouldn't
:46:55. > :46:59.happen again, if that, the situation did occur would you be happy? If
:47:00. > :47:04.there was no other pilots I would maybe go up there and try and get
:47:05. > :47:09.everyone safe. And Jessica, I mean, I don't know about the landing but
:47:10. > :47:13.you are good at parking. Landing in that car park was something. What
:47:14. > :47:18.did it feel like to have the power of that? It was daunting. I felt so
:47:19. > :47:22.responsible for everybody on my plane. It was scary knowing I had
:47:23. > :47:27.that power. The interesting thing is you work at an airport. Yes I have
:47:28. > :47:32.interacted with flight deck, so it was great to be in their seat, and
:47:33. > :47:36.thanks for helping me it was a great experience. One more time, well
:47:37. > :47:44.done. Super effort. APPLAUSE
:47:45. > :47:48.All Matt has been saying was how much he would like toe have a go, so
:47:49. > :47:55.for his next birthday we know what to get him. A boy is is a boy. Mel,
:47:56. > :48:00.your new album. It is out on the 2 #1st. It is called Version of Me
:48:01. > :48:05.your single has had loads of radio play. Let us have a listen
:48:06. > :48:10.# It's not working # I hear the music
:48:11. > :48:14.# But I can't dance # I should be moving but I'm stuck
:48:15. > :48:20.# And I need to fight this feeling # So I stay here on the floor
:48:21. > :48:25.# I'm not supposed to love you # Not supposed to love you any more.
:48:26. > :48:32.# APPLAUSE
:48:33. > :48:37.It is your first album in five years, isn't it I know, it is amaze,
:48:38. > :48:40.this is the biggest gap I have had between albums and I think it has
:48:41. > :48:45.been a good thing. It has helped to make a stronger record. So much has
:48:46. > :48:52.happened, there has been loss of inspiration. E, is that what has
:48:53. > :48:58.driven the new album? Yes, partly, I think everything that happens to me,
:48:59. > :49:02.it kind of comes out through you know my music and lyric, it is a
:49:03. > :49:06.nice way to express yourself, as a performer it is nice when you have
:49:07. > :49:10.written your own words and you have the true emotion. It makes it more
:49:11. > :49:14.satisfying. Is there one song in particular that is very special to
:49:15. > :49:18.you? Do you know, I have to say I have been ruthless with this record
:49:19. > :49:22.for and taking my time, I was like there is not going, because
:49:23. > :49:25.sometimes you might have a song that slips on an words and you have the
:49:26. > :49:27.true emotion. It makes it more satisfying. Is there one song in
:49:28. > :49:30.particular that is very special to you? Do you know, I have to say I
:49:31. > :49:33.have been ruthless with this record for and taking my time, I was like
:49:34. > :49:36.there is not going, because sometimes you might have a song that
:49:37. > :49:39.slips on an album and words and you have the true emotion. It makes it
:49:40. > :49:42.more satisfying. Is there one song in particular that is very special
:49:43. > :49:45.to you? Do you know, I have to say I have been ruthless with this record
:49:46. > :49:47.for and taking my time, I was like there is not going, because
:49:48. > :49:50.sometimes you might have a song that slips on an album and you are like
:49:51. > :49:53."I'm not sure about that one" or the record company like it. This one I
:49:54. > :49:57.have gone, no, if it is not good enough, it is not going on, so every
:49:58. > :49:59.song means a lot to me.? There is no instruments at all. On this album.
:50:00. > :50:01.There is. There is but electronically. It is a very
:50:02. > :50:04.different sound. In the past I have been lucky, I experimented with lots
:50:05. > :50:06.of different genre, I always being pop but this time I wanted to go
:50:07. > :50:09.more electronic, and it coincided really well with what is happening,
:50:10. > :50:11.there is lots of younger artists and you know, mainstream sounds, pop mew
:50:12. > :50:14.circumstances, EDM, there is lots of electronic stuff happening. Is it
:50:15. > :50:19.right that vibe came do you in a yoga class? Yes. As it does. It does
:50:20. > :50:23.sound as pop star as it is. I was in LA in a yoga class, I was a bit
:50:24. > :50:29.lost, didn't really foe what direction I wanted to go in, I knew
:50:30. > :50:32.I wanted to make a record and I was becoming a bit frustrated, because
:50:33. > :50:37.often in music, in pop music, people try to put you in a direction of
:50:38. > :50:43.what is popular at the time, and you know, I am a more mature artist now,
:50:44. > :50:48.I can't compete with artists that I love like arena or Katy Perry, or
:50:49. > :50:52.the younger girls out there, and I just thing lyrically I have to be
:50:53. > :50:54.different, and I was getting frustrated with people maybe
:50:55. > :50:58.thinking that is the way I should go, and I just thought, I have
:50:59. > :51:04.wanted do this, why don't I just do it. I have nothing to lose. Yeah. We
:51:05. > :51:14.have to talk about the Spice Girl reunion. Do we? Yes. You don't want
:51:15. > :51:19.to know any more. Three of them have said yes, we will go for it.
:51:20. > :51:22.Victoria and yourself have said no. So big, hard decision or for you was
:51:23. > :51:29.it something in you went absolutely not right for me now. It was really
:51:30. > :51:33.difficult. After the Olympics in 2012, closing ceremony. Wonderful
:51:34. > :51:38.life. Victoria said this is amazing but I think that is it for me. We
:51:39. > :51:44.totally respect that, and the other four, we had a great time, we were,
:51:45. > :51:49.let's leave the door open, let us stay in touch and talk about it in
:51:50. > :51:54.the future, and as time went on and it got closer to the anniversary and
:51:55. > :51:58.we were having meetings, I was feeling a bit uneasy about it. And,
:51:59. > :52:01.it took me a long time to come to the decision and it was really
:52:02. > :52:04.really hard, because I love the girls dearly, and you know, of
:52:05. > :52:10.course, you know the girls are going to go on and do something, I know
:52:11. > :52:13.they would like to have me there and makes life more difficult, so, I
:52:14. > :52:19.felt like I was letting them down, and it is still an incredible fan
:52:20. > :52:25.base and I felt terrible for letting them down but I had to make the
:52:26. > :52:31.decision based on what I felt? Why didn't you do it? There is a number
:52:32. > :52:36.of reasons, I don't want to go into too much detail, no, when we did the
:52:37. > :52:41.Olympics, there was five of us, when we reunited in 2007 there was five
:52:42. > :52:45.of us, it felt like it was such a celebration of everything we
:52:46. > :52:50.achieved in the '90s, I think to go out as a four piece, for me, I
:52:51. > :52:55.didn't feel like it was, you know, I didn't feel like it was doing
:52:56. > :52:59.justice to the band for the fans. Do you think your voices are the same
:53:00. > :53:06.now? Do you think singing together... Singing wise. I don't
:53:07. > :53:11.know. I have continued to sing. But the others haven't. Everybody sang,
:53:12. > :53:14.in varying degree, they have done different thing, but yes, you know
:53:15. > :53:18.when we got together in 2007 it was like the old days. If you have been
:53:19. > :53:23.there and done it and felt what it feels like to be that big, do you
:53:24. > :53:28.want to go there again, do you need to go there again? It is
:53:29. > :53:31.complicated. It puts you in a different place, you know, in the
:53:32. > :53:36.media, in the spotlight, there is a lot o consider. Sometimes bands can
:53:37. > :53:41.be be remembered as the fantastic bands they were, you don't have to
:53:42. > :53:45.keep doing it. I have to be careful, because the girls have respected my
:53:46. > :53:50.decision to go on and continue with my solo career and I respect their
:53:51. > :53:52.decision to continue, so I don't want to say anything derogatory
:53:53. > :53:57.because I wish them all the luck in the world. The good news is they
:53:58. > :54:03.will be looking for two new members. Members. That's it. We are in! Good
:54:04. > :54:09.luck with the new album it is brilliant. We spoke about it for a
:54:10. > :54:12.while. We were talking about Rick's long weekend, Mike has been on the
:54:13. > :54:21.hunt for a bird that decided to take a break of its own.
:54:22. > :54:25.Very exciting wildlife new, we have had tantalising reports of a bird
:54:26. > :54:30.that has never been seen in Britain before. It goes by the wonderful
:54:31. > :54:35.title of western purple swamphen. This is normally a bird that should
:54:36. > :54:40.be sunbathing in the Mediterranean. It first turned up a couple of weeks
:54:41. > :54:48.ago in Suffolk at RSPB Minsmere and just as we were about to go for it,
:54:49. > :54:50.it disappeared. Now, it has reappeared so we thought fortune
:54:51. > :54:55.favours the brave. We are going to go for it. We are on a One Show
:54:56. > :55:00.twitch. I have come to Lincolnshire, to meet
:55:01. > :55:05.one of the first people to Spotlight the bird here. The purple swamphen,
:55:06. > :55:12.have you seen it this morning? No. Right. So far, not great news. But
:55:13. > :55:19.it has been very elusive over the last four day, it has been in the
:55:20. > :55:24.area of water in front of us there. That rectangle, it's a very very
:55:25. > :55:27.long way away. Presuming if this bird has left it will have left at
:55:28. > :55:31.night, that is when they tend to move. So, do you think it is still
:55:32. > :55:35.here? I think it will be. I think it was not a very good day yesterday, a
:55:36. > :55:41.lot of rain, windy and wet last night. So I doubt if it has left. I
:55:42. > :55:46.have to stay positive as it might just have gone into the reeds.
:55:47. > :55:49.It is a mystery why the purple swamphen has ventured so far from
:55:50. > :55:53.home. But it could be down to weather patterns.
:55:54. > :55:57.There has been a severe drought in parts of Spain and France. So maybe
:55:58. > :56:05.it flew north, and kept going all the way to the UK.
:56:06. > :56:10.The flats is gorgeous and there are amazing birds here, like spoon
:56:11. > :56:14.bills. And black tailed birds from Iceland.
:56:15. > :56:21.Sadly, though, no sign of a purple swamphen.
:56:22. > :56:26.But eventually, and after weeks of chasing around the country, a
:56:27. > :56:38.strange shape appears in the reeds. Hang on. I see a purple Bluebird
:56:39. > :56:44.coming out of the reed bed. It is immediately identifiable.
:56:45. > :56:49.Particularly with a colour that is a purple, green, bluey sheen all over
:56:50. > :56:55.the plumage, it is the size that is the most revealing thing of all.
:56:56. > :57:01.This is a big robust bird. It is like a moor hen on steroids.
:57:02. > :57:07.The reed at the back is this plant that grows by the rhizomes. I think
:57:08. > :57:13.it is eating then. It is grabbing the food with its big red feet.
:57:14. > :57:19.That is nice, there is a little green that has just gone right up to
:57:20. > :57:28.it, and doesn't really like the swamphen being there. It looks tiny
:57:29. > :57:31.in comparison. There is a bit of a territorial dispute. Can't believe
:57:32. > :57:37.we have got it. That is really good news. The word is out and before
:57:38. > :57:41.long, I am joined by a whole host of expectant twitchers from all over
:57:42. > :57:46.the country. So what do they make of this peculiar bird? It is a cracking
:57:47. > :57:52.bird, to see one here, it is a delight. We made this attempt to see
:57:53. > :57:57.it earlier, at Minsmere in Suffolk and failed by one day. That has to
:57:58. > :58:04.be the youngest bird here today. And worth a journey? Yes. It is an
:58:05. > :58:09.astonishing fact this is only western known purple swamphen in the
:58:10. > :58:14.British Isles. It has chosen a great place to stay. There is plenty of
:58:15. > :58:19.food here and safe locations to roost f. If it decides to hang round
:58:20. > :58:26.who knows it may be joined by one or two more if. It the fly back to the
:58:27. > :58:34.Mediterranean then bon voyage and thank you for stopping by. Wonderful
:58:35. > :58:42.turn out for a purple swamphen. Staying on the animal theme. We have
:58:43. > :58:45.had an e-mail. -Mail. Anne has missed the point, people don't keep
:58:46. > :58:50.cat, cats keep people. Very good. That is all for tonight,
:58:51. > :59:01.thank you to Anne, to Rick and to Mel. Mel's new album Version of Me
:59:02. > :59:05.is released on 23 October. Anne Robinson's Britain starts tomorrow
:59:06. > :59:09.on BBC One. We will be back tomorrow. I should have kept this
:59:10. > :59:21.shirt! See you tomorrow. Hello, I'm Tina Daheley
:59:22. > :59:24.with your 90 second update. Theresa May says the Tories
:59:25. > :59:28.are the "party of the workers"
