Hello. Welcome to the One Show with Alex Jones And my Friday cohost | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
Kaiser Chief Alex Jones And my Friday cohost | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
coach, Ricky Wilson. APPLAUSE Nice to have you back. Nice | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
to be back. What's happening in Ricky's world. I'm just on holiday | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
at the moment. That's why I came in. Perfect. More than that, I'm excited | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
because we have pop legend Rick Astley on the show. He's out there | :00:39. | :00:40. | |
now. APPLAUSE | :00:41. | :00:44. | |

original Rickroller in the building. What's that? It's an international | :01:10. | :01:16. | |

megaprank. I send you a link to a you that song. Tonight we have | :01:26. | :01:32. | |
actors playing the two most romantic couples of all time. They played | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
Cinderella and Prince charming last year in the Disney classic. They | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
take to the stage again as the star crossed lovers Romeo and Juliet. | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
Here's a teaser. APPLAUSE We've just been Rickrolled. | :01:46. | :02:04. | |
Here's Lily James and Richard Madden. | :02:05. | :02:12. | |
I loved you both in Cinderella. This is exciting. Do you think that | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
Richard makes a better Prince charming or Romeo so far? It's hard | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
to call. I won't offend anyone, that's the good thing. I think he's | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
very fantastic as Romeo. A big step forward. It's not a stretch really. | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
We'll be chatting all about it shortly. All over the UK, the dust | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
is settling on the results of yesterday's elections. In St Ives | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
they were voting not on personality or politics but on a radical plan. | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
Here's Angela Scanlon. It's a problem facing local | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
residents up and down the country. A quarter of the houses here are | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
second homes, owned by those living elsewhere. | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
Some people feel that diminishes the sense of community and prices local | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
people out of the market. As a result, a referendum is being held | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
here today, part of which suggests that new-build houses can only be | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
sold to those who live here full-time. I'm going to be voting | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
yes. There is nobody living in the bottom half of town any more. | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
Something like a thousand empty homes every winter. When I was a kid | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
on a Sunday you would smell a roast dinner from every single house. Are | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
you voting yes or no? No. We're in the process of building a house. It | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
restricts who can buy our house if we decide to sell. If we do, it will | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
be because we need to sell it to be somewhere else. I've got campaigners | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
from both sides of the argument together. Towns and villages are | :03:45. | :03:56. | |
made up of the residents. If you go down you hardly find a residents. | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
The heart of the town is being ripped out, if you like. So many | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
properties are second homes. The plan will make it worse. That just | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
puts pressure on the unrestricted houses in town and puts the prices | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
of town houses up. Somebody buys a second home and they use the home | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
for however many weeks they want themselves. The rest of the time | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
it's open to tourists as rental accommodation. They all have to be | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
maintained. Every one of those is a boost for the employment in St Ives. | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
I'm on a beautiful street in St Ives. Let's see what people here | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
think the impact of holiday homes is having. | :04:33. | :04:48. | |
These are all holiday lets. Do you think people who own second homes | :04:49. | :04:56. | |
here, are they here most of the year, are the houses vacant? Yes, I | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
did a map once and it was about 50/50, but not now. I would think | :05:01. | :05:07. | |
about 85%. John has been an estate agent here for 15 years. He's seen | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
first hand the demand for second homes. Nice to meet you. So these | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
are out of towners, not locals who buy a property of this speck? Yes. | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
You do have locals that are doing the same thing. There are plenty of | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
people locally who will buy an investment property. If the | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
referendum is passed, what happens? Who buys these places? The | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
development won't go ahead in the first place. The price of the land | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
to buy that will be too high to get a yield. Would you vote yes or no? | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
No. There's enough with the Stamp Duty, with the affordable housing. | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
Is that you with your estate agent hat on? Absolutely. The more | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
development the better. No, not at all. Well, the votes are cast and | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
volunteers have worked through the night to count them. I do here by | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
declare that more than half of those voting have voted in favour of the | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
St Ives plan. It's a win for the 'Yes' campaign. | :06:07. | :06:14. | |
That Yes vote means that on the face of it, there will be no new build | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
second homes sold in St Ives. In less than a week, doors will hope | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
for the Sir Kenneth Branagh theatre company's Romeo and Juliet. You | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
play, funnily enough, Romeo and Juliet. Not in that order. How are | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
rehearsals going? Good. We are moving into the theatre tomorrow to | :06:32. | :06:39. | |
start tech. We've had five weeks of intense, gruelling. I just got the | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
fear when you said we open in a week. I know! There's been loads of | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
adaptations, what's your take on it, then? Is there still a balcony at | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
least? Yes. Are you allowed to say. That's not a spoiler. Are you doing | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
it in the traditional language or is it modern day? It's traditional, but | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
we've cut out the boring bits. It's really exciting. It's contemporary. | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
It's very... It's like a thriller almost. It's passionate, Italian. | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
OK, because you're not giving much away. Sorry. It's a surprise, when | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
everyone comes. People will really like it. We've seen some of the | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
pictures. It looks sultry. Would that be the word? Stop it! There it | :07:26. | :07:33. | |
is. Oh, that's a very sexy picture. They're young teenagers that fall in | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
love. You know what teenagers get up. To That's sultry and sexy. In | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
War And Peace you used to sing to James Norton Whitney Houston songs | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
were you were getting into the mood for the sexier stuff. What are you | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
singing to Richard? I feel offended now. You've never sung to me. We'll | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
do wit any. Thanks, six weeks in, not one song yet. What would you | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
like? Put in requests. You do sing some Beyonce to me. The new album. | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
We have to be careful with spoilers on the show, but I don't think it's | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
that much of a spoiler to say that Romeo dies at the ebbed. -- end. Oh, | :08:13. | :08:23. | |
sorry! Is it more intense dying on stage - that's a spoiler. Is it | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
difficult not to overplay it? What's your approach with this then? He | :08:30. | :08:40. | |
always gets to the point where you think as an actor you just want to | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
get off and just hurry up and die then, people know. Don't milk it. | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
Don't kind of, eurgh... You just do it justice to what it needs to be at | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
that point. It's really sad. It's not fun dying every night. It's the | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
peak, the climax of the whole piece. At least I'm prepared for it now. We | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
heard you learned your lines for At least I'm prepared for it now. We | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
role in a car park in Atlanta. That's not really method, unless | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
this new version is set in a car park in Atlanta. No, but that would | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
be really cool. I was filming Baby Driver, Edgar Wright's new film. I | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
had endless night shoots in a cold, dark car park. It was the perfect | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
place to learn Juliet. And you're in Bastille Day with Idris Elba, a one | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
show favourite. Or your favourite! Either way, doesn't matter. We were | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
told that you were to learn to pick pocket for the role. Yes. Are you | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
actually any good at it? I got good, at least I thought I was quite good | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
at it. Then I realised that everyone I was pick pocketing was paid to | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
make it look as if they'd not noticed. In my head I think I'm | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
great, but actually I'm probably rubbish. Or maybe they just enjoyed | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
having your hands in their pockets That's a bit weird. You must have | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
had loads of fun with Idris? We had a great time. We trained for about | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
six weeks before we even started. We were running about in an empty | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
warehouse. I was running away from Idris most of the time while | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
shooting some guns. It was the best job, a couple of boys, had a good | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
time. Romeo and Juliet completely different Very, very different, | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
running away from Lily all the time. Towards me! Sorry, yes towards you. | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
Doesn't bode well. We can't wait. Romeo and Juliet is at the Garrick | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
Theatre from next Thursday, not long to go and if you can't get to | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
London, you can still catch it in a special performance being broadcast | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
live to cinemas nationwide on July 7. I love it when they do that. I'd | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
love to do that; see that, can you take in pop corn, sit on the back | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
row? Any sort of sweets you want. It's not a brand name, pop corn. The | :10:52. | :11:02. | |
new UK research special -- polar research re-el is not called Boaty | :11:03. | :11:04. | |
McBoatFace. But one research re-el is not called Boaty | :11:05. | :11:06. | |

RSS Sir David Attenborough, will be called the far more sensible | :11:14. | :11:15. | |
a lovely tribute on the occasion of will be called the far more sensible | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
weekend. He sthud Boaty McBoatFace. As our present to | :11:21. | :11:21. | |
him on the Boaty McBoatFace. As our present to | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
something extraordinary. Bear with us, as we present the ultimate mash | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
up with a few surprise guests. Here is the story of life on earth. | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
Nobody is the story of life on earth. | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
different kinds of animals there are here. | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
50 different kinds of monkeys. 54 kinds of birds. Sects and a few | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
small remember tiles and amphibians. Sometimes there is a mistake, a | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
mutation. They probably aren't closely | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
related. They're just odd, priftive, ancient creatures that nobody's | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
quite sure of and they bunch them together under this title. | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
The Elephant Manages to live on virtually nothing except leaves of | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
one sort or another. For any pig they have an | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
extraordinarily acute sense of smell, that can guide them to food | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
with surprising dexterity. South America, where I am now, the | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
inhabitants of these grass lands, the Pam pass developed into forms | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
that to our eyes seem very extraordinary indeed. | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
Good afternoon he said. This bear has been out of hibernation for | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
about four months. A seasonal change in the bear's | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
phsiology allows him to eat continuously without ever feeling | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
full. So he started on the bacon. There | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
are odd rodents here too. Famously fussy in their feeding... Cheese! In | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
a way that is almost disturbingly familiar. That's me cheese pies. In | :12:57. | :13:06. | |
Britain, these animals had burrow that's are often interconnected. | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
These creatures brilliant colours may serve to warn off anything that | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
might contemplate making a meal of them. At night they became sluggish. | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
That left the field open to any creature that could be active at | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
night. Under the partial cover of darkness, a familiar face | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
materialises. Racoons have found our city's -- cities very much to their | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
liking. Culture, like theatre and ballet. It was behaviour that had | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
never been recorded before. But then, predicting animal behaviour is | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
not as easy as all that. If man were to disappear for | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
whatever reason, some small, unon trucive creature would seize the | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
opportunity and with a spurt of evolution take man's place. | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
This is the time when only the strongest survive. What happens next | :14:01. | :14:10. | |
is very largely obtained. APPLAUSE Sir David, if you're | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
watching, we all wish you a very happy birthday on Sunday. Now then, | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
look who's rolled his way onto the coach, it's only Rick Astley! -- | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
couch. Three Richards for the price of one. One that's a better singer | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
than me, one that's much better looking than me. Don't fish for | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
compliments. Rick, you're playing your new song Keep Singing. I love | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
it. Thank you. Appreciate that. From the new album 50. Is that a nod to | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
the Adele kind of... I thought it would be funny to pinch that one | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
from her. I don't think she's worried about records I put out. | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
It's a milestone year. You could have called it 45 and nobody would | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
know. Or 62 and it can last for ages. I'm very happy being 50 to be | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
honest. It is a milestone, but I'm happy. I'm in a good place right | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
now. You joked with our researcher that you were having a mid-life | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
crisis. Are you displaying signs? I think a couple of really close | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
friends of mine, we have a midlife crisis band, you see? I've got one | :15:18. | :15:19. | |
of those! LAUGHTER | :15:20. | :15:26. | |
We play the songs that we learned to play when we were kids, so we play | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
punk songs, rock songs, which men of our age shouldn't be doing but you | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
can get away with it if you give the money to charity. We don't do it so | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
much. We've been working on a load of new material, so what made you | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
pick up the songwriting pen again? -- you have been. One of the biggest | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
things as I've been doing gigs for a long time, I retired four years and | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
then I think what happens with social media, fans will tell you | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
stuff that obviously, you do a gig and they say we love the old ones, | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
we have a great night but make a new record. After a while you start to | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
get confidence and believe them, because in one in my position, it's | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
quite a scary thing, the idea of making new music because you get so | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
kind of attached and in that thing of doing your old stuff, it's kind | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
of scary to do new stuff, but they've put me in that position so | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
I'm going to do it. A good kind of scary. What we like as well as you | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
only choose places to go and gig where he wants to go on holiday, so | :16:30. | :16:35. | |
if you fancy going to Bali. It's not 100% that bug when we get the offers | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
in for gigs in different parts of the world, the first thing my wife | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
and I do is check the restaurants, literally weep Google the | :16:43. | :16:45. | |
restaurants. Are you going for a nice meal after this? We are going | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
for a cocktail first, then dinner with some friends. It's the way to | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
do it. We have to talk about Rick Rolling, a phenomenon, it's been | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
going for years now. It's been taken up a notch because one Remain | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
campaigner has hijacked a website, the vote leave .com, so it takes you | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
straight to the video, so if anyone wants to go on Vote Leave... It will | :17:08. | :17:16. | |
put people off doing anything. Even on parking tickets, the number to | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
ring. There has been some great ones, I have never knocked it, a | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
certain generation will not know who I am, some of them hate me for it | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
but some of them, at least just having it out there and remembered | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
it anyway is kind of nice. How do you feel about that song? It's been | :17:34. | :17:39. | |
good to me, that song. Again, I retired for like 15 years, I quit | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
when I was 27, which is pretty young but we had a daughter by then and | :17:43. | :17:45. | |
everything and I'd had enough of it all. So it's not like I've been | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
doing it for 30 years and this last ten years has been great, on my | :17:51. | :17:56. | |
terms as well, and... And you've had some great holidays. Good food and | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
holidays. People ask, do you get fed off of playing the old songs? But | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
it's a different audience every night. Without those songs I | :18:07. | :18:09. | |
wouldn't have the life I have now and I love my life. Rick's album 50 | :18:10. | :18:16. | |
is out on June ten. It's time to put Richard and Lily's Shakespeare's | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
skills and Rick's music skills to the test. We have a game, called | :18:23. | :18:31. | |
this. Shakespeare! Over here. Come on, Rick. Rick Astley, hurry up. | :18:32. | :18:38. | |
Lily and Richard, you have some lines on cards there. They may be | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
from a Shakespeare play, or they may be from a modern is pop song. OK? | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
All you two have to do is guess if they are from Shakespeare, or | :18:49. | :18:51. | |
whether they are from a song. If you guessed correctly, you get a point. | :18:52. | :18:59. | |
If you gets incorrectly, this team get a point. It's very easy, very | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
easy. Lily, I believe you are going first. Ready, here we go. You'd | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
better hope and pray that you will wake one day in your own world. It's | :19:08. | :19:15. | |
a song. It is a song. An extra point for... Which song? Is it | :19:16. | :19:21. | |
Shakespeare's Sister? Of course it is! | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
APPLAUSE Rick, your turn. Say no more, | :19:27. | :19:33. | |
ladies, say no more. Shakespeare or song? It's got to be Shakespeare. | :19:34. | :19:46. | |
Correct. It's not his sister, either. The Tempest? It's actually | :19:47. | :19:52. | |
much ado about nothing. Lily, back to you. I met a girl down that the | :19:53. | :20:00. | |
ball, she said hey, hey, hey, yeah, let's go. | :20:01. | :20:01. | |
LAUGHTER . Quite a difficult one. It was his | :20:02. | :20:11. | |
early work. Very early work. It's a song. Is it Black I'd Rat peas. It's | :20:12. | :20:24. | |
will.i.am. # she she said hey hey, let's go #. | :20:25. | :20:30. | |
Richard. And if you ask me how I'm feeling, don't tell me, you're too | :20:31. | :20:37. | |
blind to see. Shakespeare, or song? You do it. That's a song. It's Rick | :20:38. | :20:46. | |
Astley. # If you ask me how I'm feeling... | :20:47. | :20:51. | |

as we fought the storms of life. Read very | :20:58. | :21:05. | |

You've done very good, five points, zero to you, but lovely reading, we | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
enjoyed it. Thank you very much. Rick is going to perform for is very | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
shortly, but before that, Ricky, you are back on presenting duties. I'm | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
on the wrong side. Hello. LAUGHTER | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
As the sun is shining, as the sun is shining we told Jay Raynor to get | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
into the countryside to make a film about the beautiful green shoots of | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
spring. I wonder where he ended up. I've no idea. | :21:40. | :21:42. | |
I love being on the farm, the wide-open landscape, the Gentle | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
birdsong, the fresh air. Lovely, isn't it? HORNS HOOT. Right here in | :21:48. | :21:57. | |
London town, there is an unusual farm. How you reach this farm is | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
very different. There are no muddy fields to cross, or gates or styles | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
to negotiate. Rather than hitching a ride on a four-wheel drive, I'm | :22:07. | :22:15. | |
going down in a lift. Because 120 feet below clap, a network -- in a | :22:16. | :22:18. | |
network of feet below clap, a network -- in a | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
urban farm going underground. Producing micro greens like parsley, | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
coriander and pea shoots in a pasty fright free environment it's the | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
brainchild of two foodie entrepreneurs -- pesticide free | :22:32. | :22:38. | |
environment. We use hydroponics, which doesn't use soil. We are | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
growing very similar to a conventional greenhouse, the only | :22:43. | :22:45. | |
difference is we are growing on a multilevel with artificial light. We | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
use light which replicates night-time can we have 14 hours in | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
light and the rest of the time in the darkness. We can just about hear | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
the tube trains going over the top. They are four stories above us. The | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
rumble doesn't seem to affect the They are four stories above us. The | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
plants too much, with a constant temperature of | :23:08. | :23:08. | |
plants too much, with a constant of micro herbs grow here, and being | :23:09. | :23:14. | |
micro, they should have a more intense | :23:15. | :23:17. | |
micro, they should have a more counterparts. Could you | :23:18. | :23:19. | |
full-sized plants, or does it have to be micro | :23:20. | :23:22. | |
full-sized plants, or does it have space? We could grow conventional | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
sized herbs. We started with micro, because we wanted as much clap as | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
possible to get it into the market and it's more cost-effective for it | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
at the moment -- crop. As efficiency is improved over the next few years | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
we should be able to increase the range of crops. At the moment this | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
season is all over in just 30 days. The seeds are first sown then put | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
into germination before going under the bright LED lights and finally, | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
they are harvested and then packed. It's a far cry from the tunnel's | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
original purpose as bomb shelters for Londoners during | :23:57. | :23:59. | |
original purpose as bomb shelters Co-owner Stephen thinks they are in | :24:00. | :23:59. | |
the perfect place. Co-owner Stephen thinks they are in | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
the proximity to our customers, any salads | :24:06. | :24:06. | |
the proximity to our customers, any product is the freshest we can, the | :24:07. | :24:12. | |
quickest we can, that was the whole point of growing in this environment | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
this close to the market. Do you think underground farming, urban | :24:18. | :24:20. | |
farming like this, is going to actually replace conventional | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
farming out in the fields? Absolutely not. This is always going | :24:25. | :24:26. | |
to be complementary to farming but Absolutely not. This is always going | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
if we can grow products that grow quick like micro herbs and solids, | :24:32. | :24:34. | |
we can use that London the countryside for carnivorous diet, | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
farming more animals, carrots and potatoes. The amount of power to run | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
a facility like this is huge, as Steve is all too aware and he's keen | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
to do all they can to keep their greens as green as possible. | :24:48. | :24:50. | |
Although we do use a lot of electricity and energy for the LED | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
lights, we source it from a green energy supplier and offset at the | :24:57. | :24:59. | |
end of the year all of the imports into the farm through planting | :25:00. | :25:00. | |
trees. You plant trees? Absolutely. into the farm through planting | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
Until now, these high end products have just been sold to restaurants | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
but as their ranges have expanded so they're micro greens have gone on | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
sale to the public. Kath Dawson sells their produce on her stall, on | :25:15. | :25:20. | |
a copper market and up the road in trendy Borough market. People know | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
it's about an hour because it's from Clapham people do want it because it | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
is locally sourced. Micro herbs Clapham people do want it because it | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
not be that common yet so they can be pricey, but think of the miles | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
saved. What you are getting with this product is unrivalled | :25:37. | :25:39. | |
fresheners. After all, how many people living in the middle of the | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
city can say they have eaten food Jim groaned just 100 feet away? | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
Especially when it's 100 feet in that direction -- grown just 100 | :25:48. | :25:54. | |
feet away. Thanks very much. That's all for | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
tonight, thank you, Lily and Richard, good luck with Romeo and | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
Juliet. Thanks to you, Ricky. We loved having you back. We are back | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
on Monday with the hilarious Henning Wehn. Rick Astley's album 50 is out | :26:07. | :26:13. | |
on the 10th of June. Playing him -- is out with his latest single, Keep | :26:14. | :26:15. | |
