Hello, welcome to The One Show with Matt Baker... And Alex Jones. | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
Tonight we are joined by an actress who has starred in the greatest | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
films of all time. Silence Of The Lambs. The Lord Of The Rings. | :00:28. | :00:38. | |
:00:38. | :00:39. | ||
Star Wars! Any excuse for a bit of dressing up. Dawn French! Brilliant. | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
Ultimate comedy. You just have to look at that, and you start | :00:43. | :00:49. | |
laughing. I like The Hobbit. with her make-up right and that is | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
half of the battle. Do you miss dressing up? I still do it, but | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
only for my own pleasure. I absolutely loved it. It was like | :00:57. | :01:03. | |
being in your dressing up box as a kid, having that as your job. | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
and Jennifer have so many great characters. Any favourites? | :01:07. | :01:14. | |
Probably when we did the fat men. Those were my favourite. We could | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
abuse people on our staff, in an unpleasant manner, and get away | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
with it. Visually, I have to say, it reminds me of my daughter. Two | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
years old, dressed up for sledging, four coats. A waterproof suit on | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
the outside. She was like a double ball with a face. She couldn't go | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
sledging at all after that. She was so restricted. Just shove her down | :01:39. | :01:46. | |
the hill! I couldn't do my shoes up, I had so many layers on. Send your | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
pictures of you wrapped up at the weekend and we will show some at | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
the end of the show. The full cost of cleaning the Dale Farm | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
travellers' site in Essex has just been officially announced. It is | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
more than �7 million. And the saga may still not be over. Attention | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
has switched to another site. But it is the residents protesting | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
against the gypsies that are facing eviction. | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
Meriden is Middle England, geographically speaking. Right now | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
they are also slap-bang in the middle of a dispute. The two sides | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
of the argument are quite literally split into two camps. The first one | :02:23. | :02:31. | |
is Romany gypsies. And there is this one, a camps set up by village | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
residents opposing the gipsy site. The council has said that both of | :02:34. | :02:42. | |
them have to go. But this one has to go first. Tell me, what is your | :02:42. | :02:48. | |
problem with this development? is a designated wildlife site, in | :02:48. | :02:57. | |
the green bath, -- green belt, and it is part of a famous walk. We | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
have been in touch with 50 villages around the country that have had | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
the same experience. It is a three- step process. Step one, by the man | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
secretly. Step two, send in the bulldozers, followed by the | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
barristers. Step three, dead a council and the Government to get | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
rid of you. Noah Burton is landowner of the site and the | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
spokesperson for the gypsies. are not defying the council, we are | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
here pending an appeal and an addiction appeal. We are fighting | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
it legally. -- eviction appeal. Tooth and nail, as hard as we can | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
fight it, and legally. But you are not, this is an illegal | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
development? We have nowhere else to go. I have spent everything I | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
have got on this piece of land, for somewhere to live. They are not | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
interested in that Bush or the hedge, they just don't want the | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
caravans. They don't want gypsies here. Some people will look at the | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
camp and say, well, that is classic Middle England. Some of them will | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
even say it is racism. We have had gypsies and travellers in the area | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
for hundreds of years. The last thing we want to do is poison | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
relations with those people. If you are given an acceptable site | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
somewhere else, that everybody has had a democratic voice and a chance | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
to agree on, they said they would be happy. They said they have | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
always been gypsies here. Have there? Every time the council | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
trying, they say, we don't want that site there. They don't care | :04:30. | :04:36. | |
where it is. Its gypsies, we don't want it. That is not green belt, it | :04:36. | :04:43. | |
is anti-gypsy. Both camps are facing eviction. What happens next? | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
In the High Court, the law moves very slowly sometimes. We have | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
moved as quickly as we can within our legal powers. As a council, you | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
have a responsibility to provide an allocation for the gypsy community. | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
Is that there? It is. We have a number of long-established sites. | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
We are currently going through a further assessment to see if more | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
are needed. This is land grab that we are looking at? It is a | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
situation that is being replicated across the country on different | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
sites. That seems to be the way in which it has been done, very often | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
over a bank holiday weekend. reality is that you're camp will be | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
gone long before that development over there. Even though this | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
temporary structure might come down, our campaign is not going away. We | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
will stay until we see the enforcement of the decisions that | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
we have won. They do not care about us. It's not green belt, they just | :05:41. | :05:51. | |
:05:51. | :05:52. | ||
Now, it you are back with a brand new series of Roger And Val Just | :05:52. | :06:01. | |
For people that have not seen it, it is a married couple and it | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
follows then in real time after they have got in from work. When | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
lots of people get home, The One Show is on. But we did have a look | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
and there was no sign of it. don't have the television on in the | :06:13. | :06:20. | |
background in this show. We always blame the writers. If you had | :06:20. | :06:27. | |
written it, it would have been used. But it was your idea? Yes. I wanted | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
to do with a show about a happily married couple. You have seen it | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
too often before, when couples are arguing. I wanted to see one that | :06:35. | :06:41. | |
were battling something, but not each other. In the first series, we | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
found out that there was a bit... Not a secret, exactly, but | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
something very difficult inside that house, the tragic death of | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
their child 18 years before. This is a couple that are trying to live | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
through it, get on and distract themselves. They love each other | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
very much. They kind of play, really, in order to have a happy | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
life. They are just trying to be nice human beings and love each | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
other. What is on the cards for them this time? This time there is | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
a secret. This time it comes from outside the house. It comes inside. | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
I can't tell you too much. As it unravels, it is a massive threat to | :07:20. | :07:27. | |
the kind of very loving marriage. It is something neither of them | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
expected and it could totally shake them. This is what starts to | :07:31. | :07:41. | |
:07:41. | :07:42. | ||
unravel at the end? A little clue! When I walk into that room, I will | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
not be alone. I will, in fact, be accompanied by three remarkable | :07:48. | :07:55. | |
women. By Martina Navratilova... By Hillary Clinton... And by Margaret, | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
that used to be on The Apprentice. I know it looks odd. I know that. | :08:01. | :08:11. | |
But it's the only way I can think We should as you were going into an | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
interview, naming three people that you would like to take with you. | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
thought we would have a go ourselves. You are completely mad! | :08:21. | :08:28. | |
I have chosen Stephen Fry, extra intelligent. Alan Carr, in case it | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
gets awkward so. He has always has a joke. And Kate Middleton, always | :08:32. | :08:39. | |
stylish and behaves. You don't want to behave! Well, if it is a job | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
interview. I went for Albert Einstein, so I can answer any | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
question. Usain Bolt, if it is going badly I can get out of there | :08:47. | :08:55. | |
fast. And Tim Vine. He has a line for anything. Well done! Excellent | :08:55. | :09:02. | |
box work. Who would you have in real life? Well, I would have the | :09:02. | :09:09. | |
actual Queen. I would have the queen of comedy, Jennifer Saunders. | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
I have to say that, otherwise I will be killed. And the Queen of | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
the world, Russell Grant. Good choice! You can take that off now. | :09:20. | :09:28. | |
I have to say, it does suit you. Thanks. We can rock a box. Anyway, | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
Cumbria starts on Wednesday night, 10pm on BBC Two. Now it time for a | :09:32. | :09:38. | |
bit of history, as we once again examined the customs surrounding | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
British life. Today it is the traditional funeral, and how it has | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
its roots in Georgian pomp and ceremony. | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
The 18th and 19th centuries were the height of decadence and | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
extravagant living in Britain. That was matched in death. At no other | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
time in history were funerals such a huge event as in Georgian Britain. | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
George and entrepreneurial skills were keen to get into this mortal | :10:02. | :10:09. | |
market. Dr Mark Jane Eyre is an expert on the cult surrounding | :10:09. | :10:16. | |
death in Georgian times. Funerals were all -- always a way of saying | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
how important she were. When they buried Admiral Nelson, there was | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
this massive procession from the Admiralty to St Paul's. It is so | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
long that when the front reached St Paul's, the back had not started | :10:28. | :10:36. | |
moving! His funeral was part of this entire funeral culture, in | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
which how you were buried said so much about who you had been. There | :10:41. | :10:48. | |
must have been people making money out of it. Oh, yes. In fact, the | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
18th century is when you see the undertaker really taking off. This | :10:53. | :10:59. | |
was a period of growing funeral bling. The population of England | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
and Wales in the Georgian period more than doubled, from 6 million | :11:03. | :11:09. | |
to over 15 million. Tiny metal plots like this found themselves | :11:09. | :11:16. | |
with more than 70,000 bodies in them. Each year, another 40,000 | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
were being directed their way. Such numbers meant churchyards quickly | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
became fall. Julie is from the cemetery research group at York | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
University and is a world expert and government adviser on burial | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
history. The demand for space was rapidly overcoming any ability of | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
the churchyard to accommodate it. Around that time, a local man wrote | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
a report and said the churchyards were sodden with human flesh. | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
People had ceremonies and there were bones sticking out of the | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
ground. Very grim places. answer to the overcrowded | :11:51. | :11:57. | |
churchyards was this, the SEN -- cemetery, which started appearing | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
in the 1830s. You could buy a perpetual grave there. In the | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
churchyard, people were disturbed within weeks. Here, people could | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
say you were here forever. Quite luxurious? When it first opened, | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
special trains came to look at it because it was so crammed. You | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
could see the promenade, not just for the funeral but for people to | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
visit. Into the Victorian period, these super cemeteries opened | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
across Britain. It wasn't just where you were buried, it was how. | :12:27. | :12:33. | |
There was a strict code of conduct. I have come to one of England's | :12:33. | :12:39. | |
finest Georgian homes, in Ripon, to meet Gillian Stapleton, who has | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
studied the do's and don'ts of Georgian mourning. You have some | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
tiny things. What are they? These are mourning approaches from the | :12:47. | :12:53. | |
Regency. That particular one is from about 1820. Him at the centre | :12:53. | :12:59. | |
is some hair. That would be given to somebody as a gift. The pills | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
around the edge signified a widow's tears. What was the normal | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
procedure following a death? were expected to be in mourning for | :13:09. | :13:15. | |
a close relative for between one and two years. The widow would be | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
expected to stay in black for six months. Then it would be back with | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
touches of Wight for six months. Then she could go into half | :13:22. | :13:29. | |
mourning. Caroline, show us what you are wearing. This would be | :13:29. | :13:35. | |
respectable half mourning for about 1800. It is very subtle colours. | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
You get dark brown stripes and a sash of black around the waist. | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
That definitely signify is you are in mourning. In Georgian Britain, | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
if you wanted to die a respectable death there was only one way to go, | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
the very best way that money could buy. From princesses to paupers, | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
fantastic funerals were high fashion in Georgian Britain. Many | :13:55. | :14:04. | |
people would agree that you should A slightly morbid subject. But | :14:04. | :14:11. | |
lovely to see you, none the less. But it wasn't just the rich that | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
were worried about their terminal resting-place? It was everybody. It | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
meant so much to people. In some ways, a big send-off was the last | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
thing you could do. It was a show of love, that you could do for | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
whoever you had lost. People really believed in that time that you | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
needed your whole body intact if you were to be resurrected. None of | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
this organ donor stuff that we feel much happier with. People were | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
really minded about how you went into the earth because that was how | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
you were going to rise up afterwards. Even after we were | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
buried, they couldn't necessarily rest in peace, could they? It is | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
also the time of the body snatcher. You know, Burke and Hare and all of | :14:54. | :15:01. | |
that. The doctors work desperately trying to get hold of corpses for | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
doing teaching, to learn to be better at doctors. Traditionally, | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
only criminals that had been hung, only they were allowed to be cut up. | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
There were not enough of them about. You get a trade in digging up | :15:14. | :15:24. | |
:15:24. | :15:26. | ||
corpses and selling them. I can't I can't see a problem with that, | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
can you? But the lengths that one went to protect them was | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
extraordinary? Amazing. It was like an arms race. You start with people | :15:35. | :15:40. | |
digging up bodies, so then they put a great slab on tonne. | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
That is fair enough. So the grave diggers go in around | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
the side and drag the body out. Next are these things, coffin | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
colours, so they go around the neck of a person in their coffin. | :15:53. | :15:59. | |
That is grim. It is, isn't it sn. | :15:59. | :16:06. | |
Still it did not stop. Then the cages were introduced? Yes, | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
mortstone. That sinks into the ground and prevents anyone from | :16:10. | :16:16. | |
breaking in, digging in. I'm going in a firework! I have told my | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
family already. Thank you very much, Ruth. | :16:19. | :16:25. | |
Now, from the end of life to the beginning. On the 25th of July, | :16:25. | :16:30. | |
1978, the world's first IVF baby, Louis Joy Brown was born in Greater | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
Manchester at Oldham District Hospital. | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
Fast forward and although thousands of couples have received IVF, not | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
everyone who wants treatment can get it free. | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
This doctor under stands the true cost of some trying to become | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
parents. Every child is precious. There come as point in many | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
people's lives when starting a family is one of the most important | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
things to do, but as many as one in seven couples experience | :17:00. | :17:06. | |
difficulties when conceiving. One of the most effective ways of | :17:06. | :17:12. | |
helping nature along is in vitro fertilisation, IVF. | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
Eggs are harvested from a woman and fertilised with sperm in a lab. If | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
the process is successful, the embryos are returned to the womb. | :17:21. | :17:28. | |
If all goes to plan, nine months later a babe is born, but it is -- | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
a baby is born, but it is an expensive process. The 2004 | :17:34. | :17:40. | |
National Institute for Clinical Excellence recommends that coups | :17:40. | :17:46. | |
are offered three cycles of IVF, that all depends where you live. | :17:46. | :17:52. | |
Some Primary Care Trusts offer two cycles, some one, and some none. | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
Although the Department of Health encourages Primary Care Trusts to | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
take account of the guidelines, it is up to them how much funding they | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
allocate to fertility treatments. Last year over 70% of PCTs in the | :18:05. | :18:11. | |
UK offered less than the recommended three cycles. In North | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
Staffordshire, where Melanie and David live, their prift has not | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
funded any cycles since 2006. -- Primary Care Trust. | :18:21. | :18:25. | |
We had been trying for six years for a baby. We had no success. We | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
went to the doctor, she said because of the time we had been | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
trying that IVF was the next option for us. | :18:32. | :18:38. | |
That if we were to go for it, we would have to pay privately. | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
After scraping together �5,000, they paid for their first cycle of | :18:43. | :18:50. | |
IVF. When it didn't work the first time | :18:50. | :18:58. | |
it's horrendous. I could cry now. Sorry. | :18:58. | :19:04. | |
Couples pay a high price financially and emotionally. Mr Sim | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
kins, runs a private fertility clinic in London. | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
Why is it so ebgsz pensive? There are enormous overheads. One has to | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
run a building, complicated machinery and medical equipment and | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
a very large amount of staff are needed and the drugs that we use, | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
they themselves cost at least �1,500. | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
Do you think that the NHS should be offering more? Absolutely. | :19:30. | :19:35. | |
Infertility is not an illness, but it causes an enormous amount of | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
illness. Sadly, many authorities consider it a low priority. | :19:39. | :19:44. | |
NHS resources are stretched, some question whether the service should | :19:44. | :19:50. | |
be offering IVF at all, especially when patients with cancer are being | :19:50. | :19:56. | |
refused drugs to prolong their lives as it is too expensive. | :19:56. | :20:04. | |
This man is an NHS fertility consultant who works for Guy's in | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
south London. Before he can decide whether to offer IVF he has to | :20:08. | :20:14. | |
check their postcode. I help to achieve people to have a | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
healthy baby. I would love ideally to focus on what should be done | :20:18. | :20:23. | |
medically and being able to offer it successfully, in a caring and | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
consideriate way, rather than spending time on discussing the | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
finances. Costs for IVF varies on the | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
complexity of the treatment required. | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
Justine has spent �20,000 trying to have a baby. She is considering | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
going abroad to say money on her treatment. The Infertility Network | :20:42. | :20:48. | |
UK say that the numbers are growing. Our last psyche until London cost | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
about �10,000 with special treatments that I needed added in. | :20:51. | :20:58. | |
In Greece, I think that I can have the same, including the drugs for | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
about �30,700-ish. When do you think you might decide | :21:01. | :21:07. | |
that enough is enough? I think that I might just try one more time. I | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
don't know if that is denial. How many times have you said that? | :21:12. | :21:18. | |
Never. For Melanie and Christian after two cycles of I've and | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
spending �10,000, they were successful. Here is the result, | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
two-year-old Jack. To find out we were pregnant was | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
the best day. It is like winning the lottery ten fold. I would have | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
paid anything to get the little man that we have got now. He is amazing. | :21:32. | :21:38. | |
I would not put a price on his head at all. | :21:38. | :21:43. | |
A happy ending for Melanie and Christian. Well, Dr Sarah Jarvis is | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
with us us, but first, Dawn, this is a subject that is close to your | :21:47. | :21:52. | |
heart. You went through IVF 20 years ago? I did. | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
Where do you think that the NHS should be drawing the line with the | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
amount of treatment that should be allowed? I think that each person | :22:00. | :22:05. | |
should have at least 84 goes, frankly. You should be able to keep | :22:05. | :22:10. | |
doing it until you can conceive. It is heartbreaking when you can't. | :22:10. | :22:15. | |
Why don't all of the trusts have to follow the NICE guidelines? | :22:15. | :22:22. | |
would think it would be obvious. That we would have medicines, but | :22:22. | :22:27. | |
then NICE says no. The bizarre thing is if they say yes, then it | :22:27. | :22:33. | |
is a clinical thing, there is a guideline. I think it is really sad. | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
This is national. Then there the postcode lottery. | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
Good luck to all of the couples going through IVF at the moment. | :22:40. | :22:46. | |
Thank you. Time now for our bug man Dr George | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
McGavin to start digging through his wardrobe. He is in search of a | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
hungry household invader that enjoys nothing more than dining out | :22:54. | :22:59. | |
on our clothes. Now this is something that we don't | :22:59. | :23:06. | |
want to see in our clothes, tiny holes. You think it is normal wear | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
and tear, but it's been eaten, in fact, by this. The clothes moth. | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
Contrary to what you may think it is not the adults that eat your | :23:16. | :23:23. | |
clothes it is the larvae. Whereas most caterpillars are | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
vegetarian, this family of moths has become the scourge of mankind. | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
They've evolved to digest fibre, wool and even dead animals. It | :23:33. | :23:42. | |
seems that they are becoming more common. One Show viewer Stuart, | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
noticed that his wardrobe had unwelcome visitors. | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
A couple of years ago we started to see a lot of moths flying around. | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
Then in the back of the wardrobe we zis covered that old cardigan we | :23:55. | :24:01. | |
had bought it a few years ago. There! Yes, there may abmoth about | :24:01. | :24:07. | |
to come out. That is proib -- probably one that has hatched | :24:07. | :24:12. | |
already. That is an obvious sign there is an infestation. When they | :24:12. | :24:18. | |
have fed enough, they are about to pupate they normally migrate to | :24:18. | :24:23. | |
where they are eating to the edge of the area, so when they emerge as | :24:23. | :24:30. | |
adults they can fly off easily. This truly is the lost land of the | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
clothes moth! To understand how to tackle this modern scourge, we have | :24:34. | :24:43. | |
to go back to its roots. Before they began devouring our | :24:44. | :24:46. | |
clothes they lived somewhere quite different. | :24:46. | :24:52. | |
In fact, their home would have originally been in a nest of wild | :24:52. | :25:02. | |
birds. In particular... Barn owls. Today the barn owl network here are | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
removing the chicks from their nests to be ringed. | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
That is very, very cute. It has two legs, I usually specialise in | :25:10. | :25:16. | |
things with a lot more legs. As a -- adorable as they are, it is | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
not the chicks that I have come to see. It is beautiful. | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
It is actually their leftovers that I have more interest in. | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
This is why I am here, what I have come to find. It is an owl pellet. | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
It is not what you think, this rather large lump is regurgitated | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
by the owl as it contains all of the bits that they cannot digest, | :25:40. | :25:46. | |
like fur, teeth, bones. Things that the cloth moth has no problem to | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
tackle into. If you break open the pellets, you find what the owls | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
have been eating, but also, the larvae of the clothes moth. There | :25:57. | :26:03. | |
is one right there. The larvae have evolved powerful enzymes that make | :26:03. | :26:08. | |
the undigestable, digestable. The adult clothes moth will lay its | :26:08. | :26:14. | |
eggs on the pellets so that the young can pupate and then the young | :26:14. | :26:20. | |
can have something to eat when they enerpblg. -- emerge, but how did it | :26:20. | :26:26. | |
get from the owl to our wardrobes? Well it may not look like, but to a | :26:26. | :26:31. | |
clothes moth, the owl's nest and the wardrobe are similar. They are | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
dark, warm, safe from enemies and there is lots of food. So, we have | :26:35. | :26:41. | |
to make our homes not feel like a barn out nest. Good house keeping | :26:41. | :26:46. | |
is key. Moths hate disturbance. Lavender seems to keep the adults | :26:46. | :26:49. | |
away. But the most important thing is to | :26:49. | :26:55. | |
keep the moths from getting in the first place. The best tips come | :26:55. | :27:00. | |
from the museum, dedicated to preserving precious fabrics. They | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
have discovered that cloths moths cannot survive a deep freeze. So | :27:05. | :27:10. | |
before you add that vintage jumper to your collection, try sticking it | :27:10. | :27:17. | |
in the freezer for a couple of weeks. By keeping the house as moth | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
unfriendly as possible, you may stand a fighting chance. Of course, | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
put the jumper in your freezer! Sorry if you were eating your tea. | :27:25. | :27:29. | |
We watched it this afternoon, I had trouble getting through a fruit | :27:29. | :27:33. | |
salad. Thank you very much for all of the photosow have been sending | :27:33. | :27:40. | |
-- photos you have been sending in. This is Ruby from Yorkshire. | :27:40. | :27:44. | |
She has cold hand syndrome, woollen gloves in the snow, never a good | :27:44. | :27:52. | |
idea. And Dawn? I have twinss Ruby and | :27:52. | :28:01. | |
Rose. I have to say, the massively talented woman who write my show | :28:01. | :28:05. | |
are twins. They look exactly like that! This is from Emily, who is | :28:05. | :28:10. | |
eight. This is her brother, Michael, going down the hill by himself for | :28:10. | :28:14. | |
the first time. A big day. This is Karen on the top | :28:14. | :28:18. | |
of a lovely hill in the Lake District. That is on Friday, | :28:18. | :28:22. | |
looking nice and cold there. Lovely stuff. Before we go, you | :28:22. | :28:27. | |
have another novel out? I have yes. Finishing it off. | :28:27. | :28:33. | |
In pencil. I found that amazing? do. I have never written on a | :28:33. | :28:35. | |
computer ever. Never used a computer. | :28:35. | :28:39. | |
Come back and see us in October. I will do. | :28:39. | :28:46. | |
Thank you very much for coming on the show, Roger and Val starts on | :28:46. | :28:51. |
