:00:31. > :00:34.Well, the One Nation show is on the beach and everyone is here. That is
:00:34. > :00:44.apart from everyone except one special guest who is arriving on
:00:44. > :00:45.
:00:45. > :00:49.this! Yes, hello, hello, we have pitched
:00:49. > :00:56.our tents here at the seaside on the north Somerset coast. Thousands
:00:56. > :01:01.of people have been coming to our very first One Show festival.
:01:01. > :01:07.a hands-on One Show, so Larry Lamb has been headlining our history
:01:07. > :01:11.tent, and singing sea shan'ties. And Shariah has a warm time beach
:01:11. > :01:17.hero bringing a tear to your eye. Justin Rowlett is our white and
:01:17. > :01:21.Redcoat, a camp compere this guy, look out for the nobbly knee
:01:21. > :01:26.competition. Of course we are on the beach so we are building
:01:26. > :01:30.sandcastles, not just any sandcastles, we are building giant
:01:30. > :01:35.ones. We have ways of making your sandcastle extra special. Can you
:01:35. > :01:39.hear something in the distance? can hear something sounding
:01:39. > :01:44.remarkably like a hovercraft. joining us is a man whose days of
:01:44. > :01:48.simply walking on the set are behind him. It is tonight's guest,
:01:49. > :01:54.Mr Rhod Gilbert. Look at this. We have to say a very big thank you to
:01:54. > :02:00.the Avon Fire and Rescue and the RNLI for getting Rhod here in
:02:00. > :02:05.spectacular style. A few Rhod flags, he has a flaming battenberg tattoo
:02:05. > :02:10.on his shoulder. He usually does his stand-up gigs in kaerm matter
:02:10. > :02:20.than but not in front of his family. He suffers sea sickness, which is
:02:20. > :02:22.
:02:22. > :02:28.ironic. Here he is, arriving very health and safety conscious. Good
:02:28. > :02:38.to see you Rhod. He's almost there. Look at this, he's like a Welsh
:02:38. > :02:39.
:02:39. > :02:42.James Bond coming up there. Hang about. Good to see you.
:02:42. > :02:47.Welcome. How are you, lovely to have you
:02:47. > :02:52.here. Looking very western! They told me I would look like James
:02:52. > :02:59.Bond. That was the thing they persuaded me. You look like James
:02:59. > :03:07.Bond, then they stick me in a high vis jacket and ear defenders,
:03:07. > :03:12.looking like a budget milk tray man. Nothing can dissuade me from
:03:12. > :03:16.wearing the hat, it is a mid-life crisis. It looks good?Don't
:03:16. > :03:20.pretend. We have a bone to pick with you, you have been enjoying
:03:20. > :03:23.the One Show festival, you were in the art tent and this is what Rhod
:03:23. > :03:31.has created. You have made us chunky? I had a few minutes to kill.
:03:31. > :03:35.It didn't have fine detail brushes. What is this waistline? That was
:03:35. > :03:45.going back a couple of years ago. Let's not go too much into detail
:03:45. > :03:48.on some of the bits you have put on there? Are those your pantsHow did
:03:48. > :03:54.you get them so accurate! Are beach holidays your thing, are you going
:03:54. > :03:58.to stay the night? I'm mildly traumatised by beach holidays. When
:03:58. > :04:02.I was, one of my first memories of a beach holiday, I was in France
:04:02. > :04:06.and my parents took me to France and dumped me with a French family,
:04:06. > :04:11.they thought it would be good for me to learn French. But the more, I
:04:11. > :04:18.was with a kid of my age, about 12, 13 years old. Early teens, but then
:04:18. > :04:25.the mother was a newedist! And -- nudist, I didn't know that until we
:04:25. > :04:35.went to a beach, and I was sat on a picnic blanket and she came stark
:04:35. > :04:40.
:04:40. > :04:44.naked. There are understones?She came over with the "tu voudrais un
:04:44. > :04:49.baguette"! I was like I have French fancies in front of me.
:04:49. > :04:52.Everyone has been very, very friendly, especially the Rosser
:04:52. > :04:57.family, we nominated them to become our festival family, then we
:04:57. > :05:06.followed them around with a little camera.
:05:06. > :05:16.Meet the Rossers, this is dad Steven, mum Julia and their kids
:05:16. > :05:16.
:05:16. > :05:21.all fee and Charlie. Do you want to go out? The family were over the
:05:21. > :05:25.moon when they found out that the One Nation Summer Festival was down
:05:25. > :05:35.the road from -- the One Nation Summer Festival was down the road
:05:35. > :05:38.
:05:38. > :05:47.from where they live. I want to see you being beaten at football.
:05:47. > :05:55.like a challenge. Anybody fancy an ice-cream? Shall
:05:55. > :06:04.we eat it, daddy make it and you eat it. As fast as you can. Not
:06:04. > :06:08.quite. Probably three more big shakes for daddy. Nice, can I try
:06:09. > :06:18.some? Wonderful idea, good for kids parties. The next party we will get
:06:19. > :06:22.
:06:23. > :06:27.them makes ice-cream. I hope I can beat them! I nearly
:06:27. > :06:32.missed! Fairly pleased with 50 mile an house I beat all fee, that was
:06:32. > :06:42.good. How many did you get? miles per hour. Half my speed
:06:42. > :06:43.
:06:43. > :06:49.almost! Yes!Finally! I want to go digging for skeletons. What you are
:06:49. > :06:57.going to do is pretend you are real archaeologists, I want you to very
:06:57. > :07:07.gently move your spade and the sand aside until you find something.
:07:07. > :07:13.
:07:13. > :07:19.Number seven, I found the bones?! Hurray.
:07:19. > :07:23.# One # One. Hello. We will be on stage
:07:23. > :07:31.all day letting you know about the great things we have going on.
:07:31. > :07:35.Charlie. I'm all fee. Welcome to The One Show Summer Festival.
:07:35. > :07:40.The one thing I have been waiting to do all day that is to meet Larry
:07:40. > :07:45.Lamb, I have to try not to giggle too much. I apologise now for
:07:46. > :07:55.anything I may do. I'm Julia, can I give you a kiss. Of course.I wish
:07:56. > :07:57.
:07:58. > :08:01.I could take him home with me. That was an amazing day, we're exhausted.
:08:01. > :08:07.Lovely family the Rossers. We will meet them later on.
:08:07. > :08:14.Lots to try out at the festival. That is the essence of this scene
:08:14. > :08:19.and the series you have been doing. The fourth one your Work Experience
:08:19. > :08:25.Series. It is going on for years. She came up off camera and said are
:08:25. > :08:29.you still doing the jobs thing, the binman one was about five years ago.
:08:30. > :08:35.I said that was series one and this is series four. We have had a ball
:08:35. > :08:39.of fun so keep coming back. It must be hard to come back with more
:08:39. > :08:45.jobs! It is hard coming up with jobs that will make half an hour of
:08:45. > :08:50.fun TV. The first one is good with the wedding planner. We know how
:08:50. > :08:53.hard it is to make half an hour of television, we see you struggle
:08:53. > :08:57.every night. You are a wedding planner tomorrow. Did it come
:08:57. > :09:02.naturally or a struggle? It was a struggle, like a lot of blokes I
:09:02. > :09:06.couldn't give up -- I couldn't give a monkeys about weddings, for me it
:09:07. > :09:11.is a total waste of �20,000 down the drain or whatever people spend.
:09:11. > :09:18.I had to turn that round and learn to care. We have to say you do look
:09:18. > :09:21.quite at home in the wedding fair! The smell of icing sugar and
:09:21. > :09:25.diminishing freedom took me to a wedding fair.
:09:25. > :09:31.This is where it gets real, I don't think I have ever felt as out of
:09:31. > :09:41.place in my life. I knew less about perfect romantic environments than
:09:41. > :09:42.
:09:42. > :09:47.Ross Kemp's toilet brush, but I had to learn fast. How much for that?
:09:47. > :09:51.�450? What! Asda do them for �3. The thing is, obviously you are
:09:51. > :09:56.doing a funny take on these things, but you do it for real, you have a
:09:56. > :09:59.proper go at these jobs, obviously that is somebody's wedding you are
:09:59. > :10:04.doing? I'm always trying to do two things, I'm trying to do the job,
:10:04. > :10:09.but I'm also trying to make a TV show and muck about and have a
:10:09. > :10:13.laugh and be a bit sarcastic, and be me. Equally you are right it is
:10:13. > :10:17.a TV show for me, but it is their wedding. But the bride had been
:10:17. > :10:21.thinking about that, as she said, for 25 years, not the groom so much.
:10:21. > :10:24.Why they let me get involved in the first place I have no idea. I would
:10:24. > :10:29.never have depil Gilbert organise my wedding. Are you going to
:10:29. > :10:33.organise your own now? Of course not. I'm not an idiot. Let's talk
:10:33. > :10:39.about when you tried to be a male model. You weren't accepted were
:10:39. > :10:42.you by Julian McDonald? I wasn't accepted by anyone. Why not?The
:10:42. > :10:46.series teaches me that I'm lucky in the job I do. Anything else is
:10:46. > :10:50.pretty hard work. The male model seems to be largely about rejection,
:10:50. > :10:54.you just, it was for me, maybe it is just me. Had you not been voted
:10:54. > :11:03.Wales's sexiest man or something? Leave it, leave it, you are getting
:11:03. > :11:08.me back! Julian McDonald sat me down and said, even if you sorted
:11:08. > :11:12.your hair out, got a nutritionist, went to the gym, lost 20 years,
:11:12. > :11:16.went back 20 years in time, he said you still wouldn't have a chance of
:11:16. > :11:21.being a male model. He pretty much told me I was physically repulsive.
:11:21. > :11:24.You have pretty eyes? He didn't even say that. That hat is really
:11:24. > :11:28.good though? That is what it is all about. Can you give us a male model
:11:28. > :11:31.pose? I can't, I'm very shy and self-conscious. That is why it was
:11:32. > :11:38.such a challenge for me. He told me I had no chance, so I went and
:11:38. > :11:41.tried to do the catwalk, he gave me one go at a fashion show in Merthyr
:11:41. > :11:44.Tydfil. If they don't take you there they won't take you anywhere?
:11:44. > :11:51.They didn't take me there. You are very shy, it is amazing for a lot
:11:51. > :11:57.of people that you do the job you do? I'm an inspiration for a lot of
:11:57. > :12:01.kids man! Believe it or not, it sounds daft, but a lot of
:12:01. > :12:06.performers, a lot of stand-up comedians are shy and laterally
:12:06. > :12:09.self-conscious people. I found being on a catwalk as a model being
:12:09. > :12:12.incredibly self-conscious. All I could do was put my head down and
:12:12. > :12:15.run for it. Then I tried to be a character MoD, they told me I was
:12:15. > :12:20.too bland, I didn't have an interesting enough face. Life
:12:20. > :12:25.modelling I tried, I tried to take all my clothes off in front of a
:12:25. > :12:28.group of art students. People can watch you doing all this work
:12:28. > :12:32.experience on BBC Two, 10.00 tomorrow. Going for five years,
:12:32. > :12:37.still good. Must be doing something right. Speaking of modelling
:12:37. > :12:41.something snazzy, it is time to go to Justin who made himself a jacket
:12:41. > :12:47.for the leftover material from the sof FA it is our white and Redcoat.
:12:47. > :12:54.Is everyone getting into the spirit of things
:12:54. > :12:57.Of course, I have classic beach competitions tonight, starting with
:12:57. > :13:01.everybody's favourite. Nobbly knees, what a collection we have here.
:13:01. > :13:11.Isn't it good and great. So come on Phil, why do you think the best
:13:11. > :13:16.knees are nobbly. People should take a look for themselves.
:13:16. > :13:21.have lovely knees there, tell us about the history? I acquired these
:13:21. > :13:26.through my mother who used to be a scrubber in a work house. Directly
:13:26. > :13:32.from your mother? Hereditary.Let's have another little look at the
:13:32. > :13:36.knees, we have to judge them now? Do you know what, I don't think
:13:36. > :13:41.there is much question at all about this, there is an absolutely stand-
:13:41. > :13:47.out winner and I think it is it's you Dan! Step forward, show us the
:13:47. > :13:54.knees? It is a big moment isn't it? Oh yes. You can come out and show
:13:54. > :13:57.us the knees, give us a spin. Look at those knees, nobbly as you like!
:13:57. > :14:01.The winner, Dan here. And later I have got another competition, more
:14:01. > :14:05.classic beach games, and this is one that you can all take part in.
:14:05. > :14:10.I want you to send in your picture of your Bonnie beach babes, we will
:14:10. > :14:20.show them on the programme later. We also have an attempt to break a
:14:20. > :14:24.world record. Bonny beach babies we are looking for and an attempt to
:14:24. > :14:30.break a world record with a teaspoon. They were lovely, very
:14:30. > :14:39.good, great knees. I didn't get the chance to go over there. Come on
:14:39. > :14:44.Rhod where are yours? I have legs like a chicken whose meat has been
:14:44. > :14:48.mechanically recovered. It is the cowboy hat? Stop going on about my
:14:48. > :14:52.hat. Rhod Gilbert is not the only one on work experience, our
:14:52. > :14:56.festival family, the Rossers are giving TV a bit of a go. Come on
:14:56. > :14:59.family, this is the moment, straight down camera four. As I dad
:14:59. > :15:04.I know the importance of a good sandcastle, I didn't know how much
:15:05. > :15:14.science there is behind making them. So here is Marty to explain the
:15:15. > :15:16.
:15:16. > :15:21.science of sandcastles. Run VT. When we're on the beach we love to
:15:21. > :15:24.build things with buckets and spades. Most of us make sandcastles
:15:25. > :15:30.that look something like this. But some people set their sites a whole
:15:30. > :15:35.lot higher. -- sights a whole lot higher. This
:15:35. > :15:37.was build by sand sculpture Jamie Ward low and his team to celebrate
:15:37. > :15:42.the 100th anniversary of Edinburgh Zoo.
:15:42. > :15:46.How does it compare to your sandcastles? Nothing like them.
:15:46. > :15:50.doesn't. Mine is rubbish and that isn't. Jamie's creation is miles
:15:50. > :15:55.apart from the sort of thing you and I make down the beach. What is
:15:55. > :16:01.the secret of making the perfect sandcastle? To find out we need to
:16:01. > :16:05.make our own. Jamie when I build my sandcastles I build them nice and
:16:05. > :16:09.tall, an hour later it all just falls apart, what am I doing wrong?
:16:09. > :16:13.You are using the wrong sandment when I build a sandcastle in the
:16:13. > :16:19.professional world we use construction sand. Wrong sand.
:16:19. > :16:24.Silly me! So see why the type of sand matters we need to take a
:16:24. > :16:34.closer look at the individual grains. This is construction sand,
:16:34. > :16:37.if you look these grains areage later, triangular with sharp edges.
:16:37. > :16:42.Angular grains stick together. Beach sand has been rolled for
:16:42. > :16:47.centuries and they are round. grains will never interlook, it is
:16:47. > :16:51.like building with snucker balls. There are clever tips to ensure
:16:51. > :16:56.sandcastle success, they are all to do with water. Water is key because
:16:56. > :17:00.of the way it sticks sand together. It has remarkable glue-properties,
:17:00. > :17:05.we have all seen this when you have a glass sitting on a coaster. The
:17:05. > :17:08.molecules in water are attracted to each other and to other solids they
:17:08. > :17:13.come into contact with. Exactly the same thing happens when you put
:17:13. > :17:18.your finger in some water. The water molecules stick to your
:17:18. > :17:22.fingertip first. If I pull my finger out slowly, I pull up a
:17:22. > :17:30.chain of water molecules, all stuck to each other, that makes a bridge
:17:30. > :17:34.of water between my finger step and the main body of water. Inside
:17:34. > :17:38.sandcastles the warlter forms bridges between the -- water forms
:17:38. > :17:42.bridges between the sand grains pushing them together. Jamie last a
:17:42. > :17:46.special method to make sure the water gets between the grains.
:17:46. > :17:50.you pour water straight on to it goes to the side. We have made a
:17:51. > :17:58.flat top and edge. Now the water will go through the sand. Jamie's
:17:58. > :17:59.next tip is all about compacting the sand. We are going to vibrate
:17:59. > :18:03.it as though we are playing the piano. Tapping the surface
:18:03. > :18:08.encourages the grains to move closer together. This simple and
:18:08. > :18:13.clever technique works because dense sand is far less likely to
:18:13. > :18:17.collapse. To make the castle taller Jamie uses cylinders, they hold the
:18:17. > :18:21.sand in place while he pours plenty of water through it. The water
:18:21. > :18:27.forms those important bridges and any excess drains away through the
:18:27. > :18:33.bottom. Beautiful. Our sandcastle is coming
:18:33. > :18:37.along nicely. It's already bigger than my usual sandcastles, but it's
:18:37. > :18:40.child's play compared to the cullpure at the zoo. How did they
:18:40. > :18:44.make that one -- sculpture at the zoo, how did they make that one?
:18:44. > :18:49.the first day of the week-long adventure the team compacted 60
:18:49. > :18:55.tonnes of sand, they used wooden blocks to hold it into place. When
:18:55. > :19:00.the sand was dense they started to carve. Jamie's other secret for
:19:00. > :19:03.sandcastle success is work from the top down, so as not to disturb the
:19:03. > :19:13.work already done. To guard it against the British weather he
:19:13. > :19:15.
:19:15. > :19:22.sprays on a layer of PVA glue. This sculpture was made from
:19:22. > :19:26.construction sand, but with Jamie's techniques it is easy to make great
:19:26. > :19:31.sandcastles here. A ruler cuts the sand and lolipop stick for the
:19:31. > :19:35.details. After some hard graft our castle is finished. I'm dead
:19:35. > :19:41.chuffed with this, it has to be the best sandcastle I have ever made,
:19:41. > :19:46.without a shadow of a doubt. Jamie is here with his bucket and
:19:47. > :19:52.spade, what a talented bucket and spade they are indeed. This is a
:19:52. > :19:55.phenomenal sandcastle here, except that you have chosen to call it The
:19:55. > :19:59.Baker Manor, as soon as the programme is over I will jump on it.
:19:59. > :20:05.I don't think so! I'm joking, we will set a competition in a bit,
:20:05. > :20:10.before that we need tips from you. This sand is particularly good in
:20:10. > :20:16.Weston-super-Mare? It is very good, it is esturial sand, it is young
:20:16. > :20:20.and comes out so the grains are angular and not rounded by the sea.
:20:20. > :20:23.They stick together like bricks. On other beaches the sand rolls for
:20:23. > :20:28.centuries and they are round and the grains of sand roll off each
:20:28. > :20:33.other and the castles fall down. much science. If there are people
:20:33. > :20:38.out there who love making a good sandcastle, are there specific
:20:38. > :20:45.beaches that have good sand like here? I would say Scarborough in
:20:45. > :20:49.lovely Yorkshire is fantastic. Blackpool is all right, Down in
:20:49. > :20:54.Cornwall beautiful beaches too. tips for building the masterpiece,
:20:54. > :20:58.what about a good wall? Here you have a main feature, if you pull
:20:59. > :21:04.out a few walls it makes this castle look massive straight away.
:21:04. > :21:07.That is fantastic. Asymmetry is good a wonky castle is a good
:21:07. > :21:11.castle? Symmetry is great if you can do it, if something falls down
:21:11. > :21:16.it is ruined. Go for asymmetry, bits here and there it will look
:21:16. > :21:23.more creative I think. You have even small cottages in the ground
:21:23. > :21:26.here. You can have the cottage there. The ideal kit then for a
:21:27. > :21:31.good sandcastle maker? We discussed some things already, but a little
:21:31. > :21:38.one is just have a little sprayer. What do you do with that? It keeps
:21:38. > :21:42.the sand nice and wet, if the sand is dry it doesn't work. Happy sand
:21:42. > :21:46.is wet sand. OK, there is a competition between the Rosser
:21:46. > :21:52.family and The One Show family. So we will start with the Rosser
:21:52. > :21:55.family. Hello guys, how are you. We want you to build a sandcastle to

:23:05. > :23:09.great you live so close to where we are broadcasting today, and doing
:23:09. > :23:13.all the filming. This particular area has rather romantic
:23:13. > :23:17.conotations for you and Julia. This is the place where Steven showed
:23:17. > :23:21.off his skill and effectively won Julia's heart. This is quite
:23:21. > :23:29.remarkable, on the teddy bear grabber, how many teddies did you
:23:29. > :23:35.win? About 30, we didn't keep count. What is the secret? Lots of

:23:45. > :23:49.Julia the biggest teddy she has ever seen by lifting it up and
:23:49. > :23:55.dropping it there, what are your thoughts? Simple, we will have a go.
:23:55. > :24:00.Have you had a go on a mini-digger? No. Good luck, turn your engine off
:24:00. > :24:05.and give him the practice he will need, we will find out what happens

:24:20. > :24:26.he is with the son of a remarkable war hero, keeping the memory of his
:24:26. > :24:30.dad very much alive. D-Day the 6th June 1944. More than
:24:30. > :24:38.6,000 vessels crossed the channel to France, over 158,000 soldiers
:24:38. > :24:41.landed on the beaches of Normanity. -- Normandy. Some 4,400 allied
:24:41. > :24:45.servicemen lost their lives that day. Amongst the bloodshed and
:24:45. > :24:53.chaos, one man typified the determination and spirit to stand
:24:53. > :24:58.up against the Nazis. Private Bill Mline, private in the commandos.
:24:58. > :25:02.This rare photograph captures the moment he went ashore, clutching
:25:02. > :25:07.his bagpipes for the deadliest performance of his life. Here on
:25:07. > :25:13.the beach he played his pipes for a huge barrage of shell urging his
:25:13. > :25:18.comrades on in their fight for freedom.
:25:18. > :25:21.Born in 1922 Bill joined the TA aged just 17. He then played the
:25:21. > :25:26.pipes for several Scottish battalions before joining the
:25:26. > :25:31.commandos. His son John remembers a unique man. My father was
:25:31. > :25:37.essentially two different people, he was my dad, and he was a D-Day
:25:37. > :25:43.bagpipeer. My father was a fairly quiet, modest, even self-effacing
:25:43. > :25:47.man, but when asked to play the bagpipes he became this animated
:25:47. > :25:52.man. Bill joined a long tradition of pipers in the British Army,
:25:52. > :25:57.their role was to inspire advancing troops with tunes from historic
:25:57. > :26:01.battles. They presented an easy target for the enemy, so many were
:26:01. > :26:03.killed in World War I they were banned from the frontline. But
:26:03. > :26:08.commanding officers refused the military ruling and told Bill to
:26:08. > :26:13.strike up his pipes in the face of enemy fire. That is the English war
:26:13. > :26:21.office, you and I are both Scots, I would like you to play the pipes
:26:21. > :26:30.when we land in France. My father was 21 in June 1944, he was
:26:30. > :26:35.frightened, but he had a job to do. As the commemorative photographs
:26:35. > :26:38.show he piped them through the hail of gunfire, the only man in a kilt
:26:38. > :26:42.and playing music while around him hundreds fell. He marched up and
:26:42. > :26:45.down the beach urging them forward with the sound of his pipes. Every
:26:45. > :26:52.year he could Bill returned to Normandy to join in the remembrance
:26:52. > :26:55.of those who fought and fell that day. This year he was to attend a
:26:55. > :27:00.special ceremony to commemorate the role he played. He hoped to be
:27:00. > :27:08.there to see a statue of himself unveiled at the beach side. Dad had
:27:08. > :27:11.an idea that he wouldn't not get to see the unveiling of the statue. He
:27:11. > :27:17.asked would there be pipers there. I said of course hundreds of them.
:27:17. > :27:20.There won't be a Milne piper there will there. As he feared Bill
:27:20. > :27:24.didn't live to make the return visit for his special ceremony,
:27:24. > :27:30.leaving it to John to fulfil a promise he had made to his father.
:27:30. > :27:35.I will learn at least one tune, one of your favourite, I will learn
:27:35. > :27:39.that for the day. When Bill Milne came ashore that day playing his
:27:39. > :27:42.pipes he helped his comrades get through one of the bloodiest
:27:42. > :27:46.battles of the Second World War. Today on that same stretch of beach,
:27:46. > :27:52.in memory of his dad, John will be playing in public for the first
:27:52. > :27:56.time. I have tried to wear and carry as much of my father's
:27:56. > :28:01.possessions as I possibly can today. In some way he's here.
:28:01. > :28:07.Just as they do every year, the pipers join the parade. But this
:28:07. > :28:12.year there is a new member in the ranks, John Milne, son of the man
:28:12. > :28:18.whose heroic story they all know so well. Now hundreds of pipers from
:28:18. > :28:25.21 different countries are represented in that parade. They
:28:25. > :28:31.are playing for him and in remembrance of my dad.
:28:31. > :28:41.overlooking the beach, the statue to Bill Milne, the brave lone piper
:28:41. > :28:43.
:28:43. > :28:47.is unveiled. APPLAUSE A permanent reminder of his courage
:28:47. > :28:57.and bravery that has come to symbolise the spirit of all who
:28:57. > :29:25.
:29:25. > :29:29.fought and fell in the D-Day landings. Major James Scott from
:29:29. > :29:32.the Royal Signals. It is a remarkable story, how was John
:29:32. > :29:36.feeling, he was nervous about the unveiling because of what he had to
:29:36. > :29:39.do. When it all died down, what was it like for him? When it all died
:29:39. > :29:42.down finally, the whole thing had been terribly moving for him and
:29:42. > :29:47.his family after all this wait for it. The real problem was the
:29:47. > :29:50.following day he went back to look at it and when he left it was as
:29:50. > :29:54.though, he said, he was leaving his father behind. That was the real
:29:54. > :29:58.problem. You can't think of the bravery that it must have took for
:29:58. > :30:03.Bill to do. Imagine where we are now, standing on a beach similar to
:30:03. > :30:07.the one in Normandy, and flying through the air, thousands of
:30:07. > :30:11.tonnes of projectiles, red hot, and this guy is marching up and down in
:30:11. > :30:14.his kilt playing the bagpipes trying to encourage everybody to
:30:15. > :30:22.come ashore. He didn't want a statue? No, he was a very modest
:30:22. > :30:25.man. In the end they managed to persuade him. They said we want to
:30:25. > :30:29.commemorate what went on and you represent the bravery of these
:30:29. > :30:32.people. And he said as long as the detail is right and as long as the
:30:32. > :30:36.statue is dressed in detail the same way I was, in the right kilt,
:30:36. > :30:41.in the right fittings, the right belts, everything else, right down
:30:41. > :30:45.to the final detail that is fine. It was very much the right kilt,
:30:45. > :30:52.that kilt itself had some incredible history, family history.
:30:52. > :30:56.Bill's father, John was the man who is the subject of the film. Bill
:30:57. > :31:00.his father wore -- Bill's father wore the kilt in World War I, he
:31:00. > :31:05.was a piper himself. That is in the museum at Dawlish. The remarkable
:31:05. > :31:08.thing is you can see the bagpipes, although he came off unscathed the
:31:08. > :31:13.pipes didn't? The pipes took a hit a little while later, they are in
:31:13. > :31:16.the museum at Dawlish and then the replacement pipes that he had to
:31:16. > :31:20.use after they were damaged were subsequently put back together and
:31:20. > :31:23.they are now over in Normandy near to the site where the statue stands.
:31:23. > :31:27.There is another project you have been casting your eye over involved
:31:27. > :31:31.in this, and also Jamie who is our incredible sandcastle builder, Alex
:31:31. > :31:37.is up there with him and has all the details. In another
:31:37. > :31:41.commemoration to mark the D-Day landings our sand sculpture Jamie
:31:41. > :31:47.needs 900 volunteers to make a sand silhouette for over life lost. We
:31:47. > :31:52.have a link on the web page to find out how to get involved in The Fall
:31:52. > :31:59.project. On a dwifrpb -- the Fallen project. Whatever you think about
:31:59. > :32:02.seagulls they have a number one fan, that is Mr Mike Dilger, he couldn't
:32:03. > :32:07.wait to spend his entire day surrounded by the gull, they live
:32:08. > :32:10.on an island over there, to be honest, the best place for them.
:32:10. > :32:14.There is nothing better than strolling along the prom at the
:32:14. > :32:23.seaside with a bag of chips or ice- cream. Where there is food by the
:32:23. > :32:27.seaside, there is usually one of nature's top scavangers, the
:32:28. > :32:32.seagull. Although the town has many gulls it
:32:32. > :32:35.doesn't get the incessant town at dawn and dusk during the seaside
:32:35. > :32:41.months, many of the gulls are day visitors. These tourists don't
:32:41. > :32:47.travel very far, they come across from their very own island, just
:32:47. > :32:52.over there. It lies five miles off the coast of Weston, in the middle
:32:52. > :32:56.of the Bristol Channel, which has the second highest tidal range in
:32:56. > :32:59.the world. The tide comes in twice daily, with high times moving
:32:59. > :33:06.forward an hour each day. There are few opportunities when boats can
:33:06. > :33:11.safely get to the island and back in daylight hours. Today's tide
:33:12. > :33:16.times mean I can travel out on the boat in the morning but I'm
:33:16. > :33:20.marooned in the island for 12 hours until the tide turns and I can be
:33:20. > :33:24.brought back to Weston. It is just three-quarters of a mile
:33:24. > :33:29.long-and-a-quarter of a mile wide. It is a nature reserve open to the
:33:29. > :33:35.public. Also a Site of Special Scientific Interest. I can feel
:33:35. > :33:43.hundreds of pairs of beady eyes watching me! We are talking herring
:33:43. > :33:47.gull, lesser black back gull, the black back gull, it is a gull fest.
:33:47. > :33:52.The first thing you notice when you land on the island is not the gulls,
:33:52. > :33:57.it is the guns. The position in the Bristol Channel made it an
:33:57. > :34:01.important military outpost. Andrew Wilson is the island's historian.
:34:01. > :34:08.Such a small island, it doesn't half have a lot of these things,
:34:08. > :34:12.very large guns? These were brought over in 1869. The whole idea was to
:34:12. > :34:17.counter the threat by the French but the threat receded soon after.
:34:17. > :34:22.The island was decommissioned as a military base in 1901. The guns
:34:22. > :34:27.were sold to a scrap metal dealer, they were so heavy he wasn't able
:34:27. > :34:32.to get them off the island. island's top guns are the gulls,
:34:32. > :34:37.with over 2,000 breeding pairs, who defend their patch so vigorously
:34:37. > :34:41.that every visitor needs some unusual protection. Paul text ter
:34:41. > :34:45.is one of the island's wardens. Everywhere you walk on the island
:34:46. > :34:50.people have sticks or pieces of vegetation above their heads?
:34:50. > :34:54.gulls this time of year are vicious, we will go for the highest point,
:34:54. > :34:57.they do hurt if they hit you. Anyone with a gull-related injury?
:34:57. > :35:01.I have seen people with blood running down their heads, I have
:35:01. > :35:05.been hit a few times, it hurts. They will do anything to protect
:35:05. > :35:10.those chicks? Anything, yes.Gulls are ground nesting birds and lay up
:35:10. > :35:13.to three eggs. You have to be careful where you step on the
:35:13. > :35:17.island because there are nests everywhere. This one is right by
:35:18. > :35:25.the path. With a couple of chicks that could be no more than a day
:35:25. > :35:29.old. The third one is just hatching out as we speak, I can even see the
:35:30. > :35:38.tiny egg tooth on top of the bill which the bird used to break out of
:35:38. > :35:42.the egg for its first view of the world. These island gulls come to
:35:42. > :35:48.forage in Weston where there is an easily available food source, that
:35:48. > :35:54.red spot on the break service a useful purpose when they -- on the
:35:54. > :35:56.beak serves as a useful purpose. What kind of food are they bringing
:35:56. > :36:02.back, historically it would have been fish and discards from the
:36:02. > :36:08.sea? Now it is discards from fast food outlets. It is mainly chicken.
:36:08. > :36:13.You can find bones with a saw cut on them. It is a discarded fast
:36:13. > :36:18.food outlet meal. When it comes to Beveridges they can drink sea water,
:36:18. > :36:22.they have a special gland that removes excess salt from their
:36:22. > :36:26.bodies. Admittedly gulls can be pesky, but they are also one of the
:36:26. > :36:33.few large wild birds that you can get really close up to in Britain.
:36:33. > :36:38.You could say it is a wonderful Weston wildlife spectacle.
:36:38. > :36:42.Thanks so much for the advice there. I am taking no chances, whatsoever!
:36:42. > :36:46.Can I point something out. One of the guys in your film had that
:36:46. > :36:52.above his head to ward over seagull attacks, he was absolutely covered
:36:52. > :36:58.in bird dropings though. So this is no protection. They have other ways
:36:58. > :37:01.these seagulls. They have other ways through. We did need somebody
:37:01. > :37:08.to tell us more about sea gulls, but we thought long and hard, we
:37:08. > :37:14.couldn't think of anybody. So we just settled for Lucy Seagull.
:37:14. > :37:18.your surname really Seagull? It is not spelled as the bird but it is
:37:18. > :37:22.dam close. We have been waiting a long time for this. One of your
:37:22. > :37:28.ancestors get involved with a seagull in some way. I couldn't
:37:28. > :37:32.possibly comment! That is what they do in Wales. No is isn't.
:37:32. > :37:36.That's the thing, basically up and down Britain there has been quite a
:37:36. > :37:40.lot of seagull incidents. Even the related injuries. There really have,
:37:40. > :37:44.I have a map here, of course I have a seagull pointer which I will show
:37:44. > :37:53.you, there has been a spate of attacks this summer. Starting we
:37:53. > :37:59.have had them in Newquay, Bath, moving up to Hull, fleetwood,
:37:59. > :38:03.Carlyle, reaching Fife. A lot of serious injuries. Somebody snapped
:38:03. > :38:09.their Achilles tendon? They were running away, most has been caused
:38:09. > :38:14.by running away not the seagull themselves. A big problem in Wales,
:38:14. > :38:21.in Cardiff, if you look on Google Earth, there is a street in Cardiff
:38:21. > :38:25.if you zone on it, it is me pretty much being attacked by a seagull.
:38:26. > :38:33.Did you have food with you at the time? I'm joking.But you have been
:38:33. > :38:36.attacked in the past though Rhod? I'm with Miss Seagull on this. I'm
:38:36. > :38:42.glad that was a pointer I thought it was your hand. We have a picture
:38:42. > :38:45.of somebody being attacked by a seagull on that street. I had a
:38:45. > :38:50.model lesson delivered by a seagull. Let's have a look at this, this is
:38:50. > :38:56.a young man in Newquay earlier in the month, on a road called Seagull
:38:56. > :39:01.Alley. He was eating an ice-cream. The seagull decided to eat the ice
:39:01. > :39:05.scream at the same time and they collided. Look at that. Also Mark,
:39:05. > :39:09.in Tinmouth, he decided to take matters into his own hands, he
:39:09. > :39:17.polices the outdoor bit of his calfify with water pistols.
:39:17. > :39:21.Sometimes you just have to take a stand. He is focused. What are the
:39:21. > :39:25.signs when a seagull is about to attack? This is important, because
:39:25. > :39:30.you do get some warning signals. The first thing is that the gag
:39:30. > :39:33.call, their call will become low and serious and repeated. They are
:39:33. > :39:37.basically telling you to go away. After that they will start swooping
:39:37. > :39:43.quite low, maybe a meeter away from your head, then things really
:39:43. > :39:53.escalate. That doesn't make any sense. This is what happens.Why
:39:53. > :39:53.
:39:53. > :39:59.would it tell you to go away, it is attacking you. I can't say go away
:39:59. > :40:02.and then attack you. It escalated and then it vomits on you. Are you
:40:02. > :40:09.threatening me. There is a slight threatening tone. You do get a
:40:09. > :40:12.warning. If in doubt put up a brolly or wear a cowboy hat. That's
:40:12. > :40:16.According to a survey by the British Psychological Society, a
:40:16. > :40:21.trip to the seaside is supposed to have a more positive effect on you
:40:21. > :40:31.than a walk in the countryside. they saying, but Justin Rowlett may
:40:31. > :40:31.
:40:31. > :40:36.beg to differ. We're bored. To be fair it is the
:40:36. > :40:41.summer holidays, but I have a plan. One where I can relax and the
:40:41. > :40:49.children can have fun. My idea, head to the beach. This is my
:40:49. > :40:59.daughter Zola, this is my daughter Elsa, and this is their friend
:40:59. > :41:02.Gracie. And they are off school so we are going to the beach. This
:41:02. > :41:06.should be one of the highlight of the summer, but a day out at the
:41:06. > :41:10.beach can be more stressful than you imagined. Starting with getting
:41:10. > :41:15.there on time. If you live far from the sea you have to leave early
:41:15. > :41:21.because if you don't parking at the seaside can be very difficult.
:41:21. > :41:24.Girls shall we go? You can't park here. Then, there is the cost of
:41:24. > :41:29.parking, day in Brighton for example will set you back as much
:41:29. > :41:39.as �15 for the day. Here at Broadstairs it is �7.50 for a day's
:41:39. > :41:39.
:41:39. > :41:43.parking, but it has to be in coins. Guys have you change for the metre?
:41:43. > :41:47.After 15 minutes success. So I got a ticket, now we can go to the
:41:47. > :41:51.beach. Come on girls. But I wanted it to be perfect. Right girls,
:41:51. > :41:57.first thing we need to find a nice spot on the beach, let's have a
:41:57. > :42:01.look. What do you do to find the perfect spot. The best spot on the
:42:01. > :42:04.beach down there, only a ten-minute walk. Take a long walk or make do
:42:04. > :42:08.with sitting with the masses, however on a day like this, that is
:42:08. > :42:12.not too much of a problem. I know it is raining but we have driven 60
:42:12. > :42:17.miles to get here we will have a good time now. It is not far now
:42:17. > :42:22.girls. It is always good to get a good spot. This spot isn't perfect,
:42:22. > :42:28.still a few people around and I don't like the look of that green
:42:28. > :42:33.seaweed stuff in the water. We want icecream. We want icecream. We have
:42:33. > :42:38.only just sat down! We want icecream! We want icecream!
:42:38. > :42:42.other question is do you take your own food and risk sand in the
:42:42. > :42:52.sandwiches or do you go for local seaside grub, which can sometimes
:42:52. > :42:56.be a bit trashy! Oh! The seagulls pinched our lunch. Really?Took it
:42:56. > :43:01.out of your hand didn't he. Yeah. Was that quite frightening? Yeah.
:43:01. > :43:05.Come down to the beach overall? Did you find it easy to park? We came
:43:05. > :43:09.on the train. You planned really well. Finally it was time for a
:43:09. > :43:19.snooze and I could relax in the knowledge that the children were
:43:19. > :43:21.
:43:21. > :43:25.safeen joying themselves playing on the beach. Zola? Gracie? Elsa? Show
:43:25. > :43:31.me parent who hasn't had anxiety about losing their child on the
:43:31. > :43:35.beach. You have to be watching them all the time, you are on the go.
:43:35. > :43:39.You can't sit down and put your feet up. One last headache that has
:43:39. > :43:45.puzzled generations of dads, is how do you get the sand off your feet
:43:45. > :43:49.before putting your shoes on. I have got sand on it again. There is
:43:49. > :43:58.a tap right. To wash your feet? Yeah. Why didn't you say, come on
:43:58. > :44:04.guys, let's go to the tap, come on. Gracie come on. The reluctance to
:44:04. > :44:11.leave the sea, I know it all too well. Justin will try to break a
:44:11. > :44:14.pointless world record in a moment with a teaspoon. With the help of
:44:14. > :44:18.Rhod. You don't know that at the moment. We were talking that you
:44:18. > :44:24.are in the process of writing a sitcom? I'm trying to write a
:44:24. > :44:29.sitcom, yes. What's the story?I'm finding the "process" quite hard.
:44:29. > :44:35.Based on what? Based on sort of based on a person called Rhod
:44:35. > :44:41.Gilbert in a little imaginary village called Clanbobble in Wales,
:44:41. > :44:44.which I talked about in my stand huff up over the years and DVDs, it
:44:44. > :44:49.is going back to the world and trying to make a sitcom out of it.
:44:49. > :44:53.It is the real Rhod Gilbert in an imaginary world? It is a sort of
:44:53. > :44:59.imaginary Rhod Gilbert in an imaginary world. Will you play
:44:59. > :45:04.yourself being Rhod Gilbert or get an actor to do it t you have not
:45:04. > :45:08.acted before? I haven't, and I have a phobia of it, it comes back to
:45:08. > :45:13.the self-conscious thing, even though I do stand-up. I don't know
:45:13. > :45:17.how to act I'm hopeless at it. The people I'm developing with it are
:45:17. > :45:23.saying you have to play you, and I'm saying I would rather have an
:45:23. > :45:28.audition and try to find somebody else to play me. Matt you could?
:45:28. > :45:32.will have a go. You could play me Alex? I have the accent.
:45:32. > :45:36.You have this thing of facing your fears, you are going up Kilimanjaro
:45:36. > :45:42.aren't you soon? I don't know how you went from one end to the other,
:45:42. > :45:47.but yes I'm facing my fears, all I'm facing them in one minute. I'm
:45:47. > :45:52.supposed to be climbing Kilimanjaro, I find the training very tough.
:45:52. > :45:56.have been for two walks? I have been for two walks up the Brecon
:45:56. > :46:05.Beacons last week, if you go walking anywhere you bump into
:46:05. > :46:09.rambler, you have a ramble had-off, they are competitive with a lot of
:46:09. > :46:14.oneupmanship, they were asking about the back pack and the water
:46:14. > :46:18.bladder, I didn't know I had one. The guy said do you find the straps
:46:18. > :46:22.are in the wrong place, I find them an inch too far back. I said to be
:46:22. > :46:27.honest mine are full of jelly babies, that's all I had. Eat what
:46:27. > :46:31.you like that is the key. Eat what you enjoy. If you can't have a
:46:31. > :46:39.treat at the top of Kilimanjaro what can you do. We have dishes to
:46:39. > :46:43.help you along the way. This apparently is a seaweed ban nof fee
:46:43. > :46:49.pie. Why are you shoving that in my face. This is the weirdest
:46:49. > :46:53.programme in the world. Are you going up in Kilimanjaro, have some
:46:53. > :47:02.seaweed pie. This is live telly gone berserk, can't we talk about
:47:02. > :47:07.one thing for a minute. A seaweed banoffi pie. It is time to
:47:07. > :47:13.pointlessly break a world record with Justin. Are you confident?
:47:13. > :47:19.Very. We haveen utterly pointless world record, the most -- we have
:47:19. > :47:23.an utterly pointless world record moving the most amount of sand
:47:23. > :47:27.using a teaspoon. It is 194mls the record, as with all these things
:47:27. > :47:30.there are rules, Kirsty from the Guinness Book of Records, what are
:47:30. > :47:34.the rules? They are that the measuring cylinder and the sand
:47:34. > :47:41.needs to be 30cms apart, I have checked that, the sand needs to be
:47:41. > :47:50.dry. That's all right too, Rhod has to do it with one hand behind his
:47:50. > :47:57.back. I will do it with both hands behind my back. Not remotely
:47:57. > :48:01.pointless? I haven't tried the banoffi pie here. Are you really
:48:01. > :48:04.from the Guinness book of world records? Let's move on, this is the
:48:04. > :48:08.special sand used Ford this record, we have a couple of record breakers
:48:08. > :48:13.already, introduce me to them, tell me what they have done. Amy, today
:48:14. > :48:22.she tried this record and she got 170mls, close to the ror, and
:48:22. > :48:27.Justin was a little bit ahead with 173mls. They are the Weston record
:48:27. > :48:35.breakers, now Rhod. What do I have to do. Scoop the sand in there in
:48:35. > :48:40.30 seconds. Ready, steady go. Come on, it is a good technique.
:48:40. > :48:49.it looks good he has a lot of spillage. 20 seconds to go.
:48:49. > :48:53.Come on, we want precision here. That seaweed pie waiting for you.
:48:53. > :49:03.Somebody shouting keep on going, like I will give up five seconds
:49:03. > :49:05.
:49:05. > :49:10.from the end. How has he done? Really bad! Has he beaten the world
:49:10. > :49:16.record, it was a good effort, fine for a first timeer. Fantastic
:49:16. > :49:20.effort, but unfortunately it was only 120mls so not quite. Sorry
:49:20. > :49:29.Rhod that leaves you Justin as the Weston record holder shifting sand
:49:29. > :49:32.with a teaspoon! If only Rhod had beaten the bin nof fee with spinach
:49:32. > :49:36.in it, he would have nailed it. Just off the beach there is a
:49:36. > :49:39.derelict lido that used to be the pride of this area, some people
:49:39. > :49:49.wanted to knock it down, there is a chance it could be making a
:49:49. > :49:50.
:49:50. > :49:56.comeback. Long before the package holiday and
:49:56. > :50:01.the Playstation this is what a proper summer holiday looked like,
:50:01. > :50:04.the Tropicana, what name and what a pool. Now the sunshine and water
:50:04. > :50:10.has gone and its fate hangs in the balance. Nobody has splashed,
:50:10. > :50:16.bombed or petted in this pool for 13 years. Not a problem for north
:50:16. > :50:20.Somerset council who say they have no choice but to flatten it.
:50:20. > :50:25.Businessman Derek Mead who played in the pool as a child said he can
:50:25. > :50:32.save it. Is he taking the council for a bit of a ride. What are your
:50:32. > :50:36.memories of the Tropicana? We used to go after a hard day hey making
:50:36. > :50:41.and go swimming. Is that enough for you to want to save it? I was
:50:41. > :50:45.approached by the The Hoteliers association and the Chamber of
:50:45. > :50:50.Commerce and asked is there any way to save it. And I said let's have a
:50:50. > :50:57.look at it. We are in the tourist industry here, they should have
:50:57. > :51:02.never closed it. This is what he wants to build, a �five million
:51:02. > :51:05.entertainment and swimming -- �5 million entertainment and swimming
:51:05. > :51:10.pool complix. You are confident that you -- complex. You are
:51:10. > :51:15.confident you could make a commercial success of Tropicana?
:51:15. > :51:21.Yes, I have had a lifetime of taking risks, and if there is a
:51:21. > :51:25.will there is a way of sorting it out. There is more than a planners'
:51:25. > :51:29.argument, Derek is trying to get round the objections by using the
:51:29. > :51:34.Localism Act. That is designed to help communities in England and
:51:34. > :51:37.Wales save precious local landmarks. How does Derek whose business
:51:37. > :51:40.interests range from pubs to farming qualify as a community
:51:40. > :51:44.group. One of the council's beefs is it is not really a community
:51:44. > :51:48.group. You are not really a community group are you? I think
:51:48. > :51:51.that is a complete misunderstanding, what is a community group? It is a
:51:51. > :51:54.bunch of people getting together and want to do something for their
:51:54. > :52:00.legal community. That is exactly what we are doing. Meanwhile back
:52:00. > :52:06.up the N4 in the sweltering city I'm here to meet the only group so
:52:06. > :52:12.far who have managed to use these powers to protect a much-loved and
:52:12. > :52:20.cherished community asset, their local boozer.
:52:20. > :52:25.The Ivy Pub in south London. This is the stage...has a history of
:52:25. > :52:29.rock groups like Elvis Costello who have performed on the stage. Leo
:52:29. > :52:32.and his buddies argued that the Ivy was an asset to the community and
:52:32. > :52:36.prevented it being sold and converted into flats. Under the
:52:36. > :52:46.localism powers they had six months to raise the cash to buy and run it
:52:46. > :52:48.
:52:48. > :52:54.as a community benefit society. had �320 donations from �200 to
:52:54. > :52:58.�10,000. We raised over �400,000, more than we were looking to raise.
:52:58. > :53:03.It seemed reasonable that a pub this side could definitely do the
:53:03. > :53:06.numbers they are talking about. So you never know for sure, but with
:53:06. > :53:11.the sense of community there is here and the goodwill that does
:53:11. > :53:16.exist to this project I'm expecting great things from this pub. Back in
:53:16. > :53:21.Weston-super-Mare and a local poll found that 81% of people in the
:53:21. > :53:25.town want to save the Tropicana. is such a shame, they are
:53:25. > :53:28.demolishing everything now, this type of building needs to be kept.
:53:28. > :53:32.I really think they should redevelop it. When my family were
:53:32. > :53:36.younger I used to go every week, it has gone to rack and ruin, no good
:53:36. > :53:41.to nobody. It should have been rebuilt. North Somerset council is
:53:41. > :53:47.adamant the plans are not financially viable. The town wants
:53:47. > :53:51.it back, why don't you? The reality is it is too expensive to run and
:53:51. > :53:54.it is really not practical to rebuild in its present state. We
:53:54. > :53:58.would love to resolve it. You would love to flatten it? Either by
:53:58. > :54:01.someone coming along with a viable scheme and we don't think there is
:54:01. > :54:04.one, or we do actually clear the site. What's the problem, if you
:54:05. > :54:09.have a group of people saying we can do this, we know we have the
:54:09. > :54:12.support, we know we can do this, surely that is a win-win situation
:54:12. > :54:16.isn't it? The reality is and we have had the business plan gone
:54:16. > :54:25.over with a fine tooth comb and the figures just don't stack up.
:54:25. > :54:32.Nostalgia doesn't pay the bills. Nostalgia doesn't pay the bills,
:54:32. > :54:37.but it is great in this weather them lidos. It is time to work out
:54:37. > :54:43.who won the sandcastle competition, we had Gateshead versus Weston. The
:54:43. > :54:49.One Show family versus the Rosser family. How were they? They are all
:54:49. > :54:53.right, this one over here, the Gateshead one it has nice flags
:54:53. > :55:01.claiplt claim --! I like the flags. But look at this, this is
:55:01. > :55:06.beautiful? What the one you did!I didn't do it! This is all Julia and
:55:06. > :55:13.her kid. Charlie I think jumped on their sand sculpture, I'm not sure
:55:13. > :55:17.it is fair play. He didn't! I have the proiz in my hand, I have played
:55:17. > :55:27.this stage the building in Gateshead, and it is like being
:55:27. > :55:28.
:55:28. > :55:34.back there. It is that good. The size of it as well. It is very
:55:34. > :55:43.good. What you are saying is the golden sandcastle goes to? Which
:55:43. > :55:47.one did kids make. This one! Well done well done. To the Rosser
:55:47. > :55:52.family, absolutely incredible. excited to even take the award.
:55:52. > :56:00.Come and get the award. There you go, congratulations. I'm a sure dad
:56:00. > :56:05.is a proud man indeed. He's saddled to go on this, the Weston SuperClaw.
:56:05. > :56:09.Now then Steven, how is the very brief training session gone? We got
:56:09. > :56:13.a bit of training, we will have a go. Thumb up from Glenn, are we
:56:13. > :56:17.ready. We will stand back. Which one have you got your eye on?
:56:17. > :56:25.one. Anything that comes. The big question is if you can start her up,
:56:25. > :56:32.that is a very good start. Can he win Julia's heart once again. He's
:56:32. > :56:38.going for the biggest teddy that Julia has seen. Come over here? Not
:56:38. > :56:43.too close, let's give him room. He's opening it up. Stand back and
:56:43. > :56:48.give daddy lots of room. I want that one. It is a good grab, he has
:56:48. > :56:52.it, can he get it in into the container, this is good stuff
:56:52. > :56:58.Steven. What do you make of your man at the moment. What a hero!
:56:58. > :57:05.Takes me back 24 years it does. It was remarkable he managed to win
:57:05. > :57:13.you 30 teddies I'm sure this one is 30 teddies big. Yes! It's there.
:57:13. > :57:17.Well done Steven, and he has bust the box, shut her off and come down.
:57:17. > :57:27.Let's get the family back. Let me run around and grab that big teddy.
:57:27. > :57:27.
:57:27. > :57:31.There you go. Look at that, it is as big as you are. What a time we
:57:31. > :57:36.have had on the beach, hasn't it been wonderful? Fabulous, thank you.
:57:36. > :57:42.Can I say thank you for being our One Show family. One more time for
:57:42. > :57:46.the Rossers. You could win a bear like that if you had a go at the
:57:46. > :57:52.grabber? I know, but I told you earlier you can't grab what's not
:57:52. > :57:57.yours you get into trouble. have enjoyed the competitions and
:57:58. > :58:04.you have sent pictures of bonny babies. This is Harm Monday knee,
:58:04. > :58:12.she is, as you can -- Harmony and she is falling over. This is Reuben
:58:12. > :58:18.on the beach. This is Callum aged six months on the beach. We have to
:58:18. > :58:24.decide. It is a weird beauty contest like in America. Rhod go
:58:24. > :58:31.on? I think they are all first prize winners. All babies around
