Hello. Welcome to the one show with Gabby Logan. And Matt Baker. After | :00:15. | :00:21. | |
weeks of dreadful news and never ending election coverage, we guess | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
that most of the us are crying out for serious escapism. It's great | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
that this Sunday we'll be able to sit back, relax and enjoy adultery, | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
disaster, scandal, heart break and jealous! Yes, Poldark's back! Here | :00:38. | :00:46. | |
with us from the new series are Eleanor Tomlinson and Tom York. We | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
know you as Demelza, but Tom you are the new brother in town. I am | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
indeed. Do you have a sister in real life? No, a brother. It's nice to | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
have a sister. Demelza is the sister you've always wanted. Well, I | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
wouldn't say that. Bit terrifying. LAUGHTER | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
It's been fantastic. Obviously, you come into a Big Show and you have | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
someone like Eleanor to look after you and make you feel welcome, it's | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
brilliant. I paid him to say that. You have the name of another famous | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
person, Tom Yorke, from Radiohead, which you know, did cause a few | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
people to be confused around here, actually. Have you ever had that in | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
your life? I have actually. You look nothing like him, let's be honest. | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
That's part of the thing. My first job out of drama school I went to | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
Tel Aviv to film a series called Tyrant. When I got off the plane, | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
there were people to collect me and take me and drive me to the hotel. | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
They kept looking at me very strangely. I was like, is everything | :01:56. | :02:03. | |
OK? They were like, you're Tom York yeah? Yeah, yeah. Sorry, we thought | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
you'd look different. Sorry, I don't know what my agent sent you. I am | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
that person. The Radiohead guy. Oh, no! I think there were a few | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
disappointed people at that time. Not quite as musical. No, not at | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
all. We're looking forward to talking all about Poldark. Despite | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
the debate about the benefits or harm caused by e-cigarettes and | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
vaping, it's no doubt it's a habit on the rise. With fewer people | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
smoking, cigarette manufacturers are looking to get a slice of that | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
market. Matt Allwright has been to see how their new responsible, | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
health conscious outlook is all smoke and mirrors. | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
For many, it's simply a way of giving up smoking. When I wake up in | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
the morning, I don't feel like I've got ten ton of weight on my chest. | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
First I got my sense of taste back. Then I no longer coughed in the | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
mornings. Concerns have been raised about those who have a as part of a | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
vole -- who vape as part of a whole new subculture. Many said they were | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
attracted by what they feel is fun, glamour and excitement. All of that | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
explains why vaping has become big business in the UK. It could be | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
worth as much as ?5 billion by 2021. Business and vaping shops like this | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
in Southampton has expanded tenfold in five years. Who's making the big | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
money? In some cases the very people would sold you fags in the first | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
place. This is the research and development market of British | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
American tobacco, one of the big global suppliers of tobacco | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
products. They're aiming to cash in on the rapidly expanding vaping | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
market. Roll up, roll up. And we've been granted access to their inner | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
sanctum to view the latest products. Marina is their R director. This | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
is our most recent introduction. We launched pebble last December. It's | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
a product that the colours, the shape and the rest of it is going to | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
be more attractive to young people. We do not target young people at | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
all. Neither in our product design nor in our communication. Kids | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
cannot look at our commercial material on the internet and can not | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
buy our products. I just worry if it doesn't take too long for kids to | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
get the idea of that? It's a valid concern. We do a lot of work to | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
monitor these potential risks. So far we see no evidence of it. Public | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
health England says vaping is 95% than cigarettes. Many liquids still | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
contain nicotine, which is addict of. Though the industry presents | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
this as a healthier alternative, no-one knows what the long-term | :04:56. | :04:57. | |
health effects could be. I can't help feeling we've been here before. | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
Just look at these old cigarette ads for various brands from the 20s to | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
the 50s. When tempted to over indulge, reach for a Lucky instead. | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
Cigarettes will not only stop you being fat and blue, but look, your | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
throat protection against irritation against cough. As your dentist, I | :05:16. | :05:22. | |
would recommend Viceroys. Well it's a good thing you're not my dentist. | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
Health fears have become health facts. In the UK smoking claims | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
100,000 lives a year. Tobacco sales are falling. Vaping is an economic | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
life line for the industry. But has it learned from past mistakes. In | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
the heart of British American tobacco, scientists like Karl Vas | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
are carrying out research into Tom Iity. They -- Tomicity. The robots | :05:47. | :05:58. | |
do it. This pad has had 500 puffs from the vapour. Here's a pad from | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
cigarette smoke which has had only ten puffs from it. There's a huge | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
different between the colours. BAT now openly admits smoking tobacco is | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
harmful. Marina shows me a floor chart highlighting the toxins in the | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
smoke, but it doesn't stop them selling tobacco, with global profits | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
of over 4. ?4.65 billion last year. This industry has lied to us in the | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
past. And it's responsible for hundreds of millions of deaths. Why | :06:29. | :06:38. | |
would you want to work here? I really believe in how impactful it | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
will be to drive a change from the inside. This organisation has spent | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
more than $1 billion in the last five years to test this alternative | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
products. The commitment is there. The consumers will judge. I would | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
ask you that you judge us by our actions. Last month, vaping | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
regulations, including health warnings in smaller product sizes | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
were introduced. Jonathan Greg thinks they're a good thing, unlike | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
Jon Leyne blocker Dean Petit, the vaping biker. The restrictions we | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
now have got is far too much. We have to regulate because this has | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
advanced so quickly the science has lagged behind. Currently we know | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
that vaping is possibly more productive than other nicotine | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
replacement therapy for getting people off cigarettes, that it is | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
less harmful that combustible tobacco. We don't know the | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
consequences of long-term inhalation of substances that are non-toxic if | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
you ingest them, but inhaling is a different ballpark. Clearly the jury | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
is still out. Matt's here now. Do you get the | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
sense that companies want to get out of selling cigarettes all together? | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
No, I don't get that sense at all. From being there, they're still in | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
the business of selling tobacco. This is a new market, growing. The | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
number of smokers is declining. It's certainly something that very want | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
to be part of. I can't believe that there's no results about the effects | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
of vaping out yet. They've been around for ten years or so. Why is | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
the jury still out? There's plenty of studies being carried out into | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
it. But it's getting from less harmful, which there's a broad | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
consensus for, it's 95% less harmful than smoking cigarettes, to safe. To | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
get to that point where you can say it's safe. That's a big claim. A | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
good significant any fire is there -- signifier is that there isn't a | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
prescription e-cigarette you can use to quit smoking. No doctors are | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
prepared to say try this, it's better. To get to that point, I mean | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
it's only been widely available for ten years at most. We're still very | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
early on the curve before we know the full evidence of long-term | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
effects. On that basis, I'm guessing there's not much research on passive | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
vaping and the effects of that. No, the key element of there is | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
nicotine, the passive consumption of nicotine by people who might be | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
around have aers. The Royal College of Physicians is saying from the | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
work they've done and what they've seen, there's no substantial harm | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
from passive consumption of nicotine through vaping. But they're saying | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
and acknowledge that the fluids that are used, very hugely in the amount | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
of nicotine they can contain, so people should be aware of that. We | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
heard of the evidence of weaning people off cigarettes and onto | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
vaping to try and help them quit. What is the evidence of that? Now we | :09:36. | :09:42. | |
have 2. 9 million vapars in this country. Of those 52% of ex-smokers. | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
Those are people who used to smoke and now vape exclusively. | :09:49. | :09:55. | |
Interestingly, 45% of those vapers are smokers as well. Some of them | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
will be looking to cut down the number of cigarettes they use by | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
vaping at same time, which leaves a mystery 3%. Young people who maybe | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
never smoked before, do either of you? Any vapers on the set? Aidan | :10:11. | :10:18. | |
has a vape, yes, that's about it. Is it fragrant? Berry kiss is I think | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
the one he uses. Other fragrances are available. Millions of us will | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
be settling down on Sunday night for the first episode of the new series | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
of poll taching. Let's have a recap of the romances so far. Ross Poldark | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
returns from war to find his father dead, his family estate in ruins and | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
his sweet heart Elizabeth enganked to his cousin. He meets Demelza and | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
gives her a job as a kitchen maid. They fall in love and marry. Ross | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
and old flame Elizabeth's feelings can't be ignored. They spend the | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
night together. But she's married to George. Demelza and Poldark come to | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
blows. In a rage Demelza leaves their marital home. They reconcile, | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
Elizabeth is with child and things may be in disarray once again. Who's | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
the daddy? To be continued. Very expensive that to make! Who is the | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
daddy. Eleanor, hearing that there, quite an adventure your character | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
has been on. What a marriage, by word. You're telling me. I mean, it | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
must be a dream role for you to have gone through all of that. It's | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
fantastic. I'm so lucky. It's a brilliant character and feel really | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
blessed. I'm sure you get a lot of fan mail any way, but this series | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
from what I've been reading and hearing, there could be quite a lot | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
of shall we say juicier content or maybe people kind of wondering - I | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
thought you were going to say hate mail! No, not at all. People might | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
be judging your decisions. Yeah, I will be interested to see how the | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
public react. Demelza is very strong and we pick the series up where we | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
left off. They're in a very tricky spot. Ross and Demelza have a lot to | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
work through. They do that because they love each other. It comes with | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
its hurdles. We'll just have to see. That's part of its popularity. It's | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
not this kind of rose tinted romance. There's a lot of struggle | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
in it. That's what people love about them. They can relate to it. They | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
argue with each other and disagree with each other. There are other | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
women involved and it's really annoying for Demelza. I think that a | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
lot of people can relate to that. It's a real relationship. There's | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
ups and downs. Have you started to get the fan mail yet? Yes, actually! | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
Which is bizarre. I mean sometimes they Ian Wright to me and say, oh, | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
I'm a big fan of yours, your work in Poldark is fantastic. I'm like, | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
where are they watching my work in Poldark. What about the accent? | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
Yeah, I mean obviously you just want to do justice to the Cornish people | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
and you don't want to upset anyone by not doing your home work. Are you | :12:58. | :13:04. | |
worried about that? No, hopefully not. I'm pretty pleased. Maybe | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
Eleanor can answer back. She's an expert. No, they've both worked | :13:08. | :13:14. | |
really hard on it. You're there for a long time. When you come out of | :13:15. | :13:21. | |
character, do you carry on with the accent after filming? No. No. There | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
is another brother, Drake. He's played by an Australian actor. Yes, | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
Harry. He does a great job. How does Harry get on with the accent. Very | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
well. He's very good. We work very hard. We have brilliant dialect | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
coaches on the show and it makes a big difference that they take the | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
time with us. We just want to do it justice and everyone is keen to do | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
that. Here you all are. We are going to look at the moment from this | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
episode, the whole family around their dying father's bedside. Lord | :13:53. | :13:59. | |
is merciful. And he shall guide ye home. I thank the Lord kindly. But I | :14:00. | :14:14. | |
believe I know my own way. Samuel, Drake, tis for thee to lead the | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
fallen souls of Cornwall. Aye father, we'll make it our mission. | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
APPLAUSE Sounds good. Have you got used to | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
seeing yourself in Poldark yet? I'm getting used to it. It's one of | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
those things, watching yourself doing anything. Your families are | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
fans. Yeah, they are. It's a wonderful thing as an actor if you | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
audition for something if your parents are fans and then to get the | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
part. I hope you don't ruin it for them! I'm joking! | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
LAUGHTER Is your mum just saying, "Keep your | :14:53. | :14:58. | |
top on, son." Yeah, no-one wants to compete with Aidan. That's the idea. | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
Aidan says he's not taking his top off any more. That's not a spoiler. | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
Does that feel like there's pressure on you guys, the two new brothers? | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
You've seen Sam there. He's not actually a big top off type of | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
character. He's very devout and serious guy. No, I don't think. So | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
Eleanor, as far as the music is concerned, this is kind of taking | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
you into a new tangent, has it not? This world of folk music. What's | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
happening? Yeah, Ann Dudley the amazing composer of the show is | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
going to be collaborating with me on a folk album. That's really | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
exciting. Yeah, that's all I can say about it right now. Because we've | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
yet to do it. You're singing though, yeah? That's the idea? Yeah. You had | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
a singing background? No, not at all. My mum is a professional singer | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
as is my brother. No, this is new for me. Just pushing myself. Does | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
she sing on set? All the time. We can't stop her sing. Everyone has to | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
say, Eleanor, be quiet. We're trying to film. Good luck with that. Good | :16:01. | :16:08. | |
luck with that and come back with your album. The music in Poldark is | :16:09. | :16:15. | |
quite something. It has two match the incredible scenery. | :16:16. | :16:17. | |
Poldark starts this Sunday night at 9pm on BBC One. | :16:18. | :16:19. | |
As actors you'll know about the importance of assuming | :16:20. | :16:21. | |
an air of confidence when auditioning for roles. | :16:22. | :16:28. | |
So our Alex has been to explore the latest psychological phenomenon | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
from America called Power Posing to see if it can make us | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
Sometimes it's hard to get yourself motivated in life. Leaving you | :16:35. | :16:44. | |
feeling powerless. You wish you could change into somebody more | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
dynamic. Well, you can! All you have to do is strike a pose! I'm not | :16:51. | :16:59. | |
having some kind of midlife crisis, I'm practising the latest | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
psychological phenomena from America, it is called Power Posing, | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
by making ourselves bigger and more powerful we can have the confidence | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
of a superhero. Harvard psychologist's talk on the subject | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
has been viewed over 14 million times. When you pretend to be | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
powerful you're more likely to feel powerful. I'm hitting the streets to | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
try to persuade some people to give it a go. Hands on your hips. This is | :17:27. | :17:33. | |
a public street! Are you feeling more confident? When! When! And | :17:34. | :17:46. | |
mixed reaction, unsurprisingly. In my everyday secret identity clothes, | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
I am eating Doctor Christian Jarrett at the British psychological Society | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
to find out more. Would it be OK if I called to Professor mind storm? To | :17:55. | :18:05. | |
you, Doctor Jared! OK... Why has Power Posing become popular? We all | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
experience self-doubt at some time and Power Posing gives us a quick | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
way to give us a confidence boost before a big challenge like an | :18:16. | :18:18. | |
interview. It seems simplistic that if you just do that you will be more | :18:19. | :18:25. | |
confident and feel better about yourself? It fits in with an | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
important psychological principle, what is going on in our bodies | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
affects our emotions. It may not work for anybody, for some it might | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
be a placebo. We put this to the test with some viewers. Kira | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
realised she lacked confidence when she moved to London. That is when it | :18:43. | :18:49. | |
became obvious. David is a charity fundraiser. If this lets me give | :18:50. | :18:58. | |
speeches, only to feel good about myself. Brooke once more confidence | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
at work. It seems watched too simple to be true! They have been putting | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
Power Posing into practice, keeping us up-to-date with their video | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
diaries. I had a chorus with work like this. It did make a difference. | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
It made me feel more empowered. I was in a meeting the other day and I | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
found myself sitting upright and opening my shoulders. It made me | :19:22. | :19:28. | |
feel as if I had my presence. I did some Power Posing before I went in | :19:29. | :19:35. | |
and I think I did very well. Before the three guinea pigs started, they | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
did a questionnaire asking if they agreed or disagreed with various | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
statements about themselves, which gave them a confidence score out of | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
45, none two weeks later they repeat the test. First up it is Kira. The | :19:47. | :19:54. | |
confidence score before the Power Posing was 20. | :19:55. | :20:03. | |
Big Brother: Some of 45. -- from a maximum of 45. And now it is 21, an | :20:04. | :20:11. | |
extra point. Not very super. You have to do more of it to feel the | :20:12. | :20:17. | |
benefits. Will you continue this? I did feel better on a day-to-day | :20:18. | :20:23. | |
basis. Next it is David's turn. My score has by six points. That's more | :20:24. | :20:31. | |
like it! Obviously Power Posing works! How did Superman Brooke to? | :20:32. | :20:43. | |
UK with 28. 36. -- you came in. She did that -- not it out of the park. | :20:44. | :20:49. | |
I had my secret weapon, Eleanor was giving me an extra lift and I felt | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
more positive having done this. What have we learned from our fun | :20:54. | :20:59. | |
experiment? Some others could be the placebo effect, having the benefit | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
because we think it is going to be beneficial. Placebo or not, our | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
confidence course have risen but there is one thing they should | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
remember with great power comes great responsibility. I must fly! | :21:12. | :21:13. | |
Duty calls! There is something in it? Lots of | :21:14. | :21:24. | |
people will be trying! Demelza is such a strong character, doesn't rub | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
off on your personality? I think it has done. I would like to be like | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
her. I think she is cool. Yes. Very strong woman. We touched on the | :21:34. | :21:41. | |
performance aspect of your family. And your dog has certainly got in on | :21:42. | :21:51. | |
the act. This is Bert! He has beautiful, you like to dress him up? | :21:52. | :21:59. | |
Yes... We have some lovely shots of him in things, obviously Poldark has | :22:00. | :22:06. | |
been an influence! That is going quite far. They say dogs look like | :22:07. | :22:15. | |
their owners! Absolutely gorgeous! We want to try and see if Tom can | :22:16. | :22:22. | |
guess which famous character but is. This will be fun! -- famous | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
character Bert is. He was dreaming | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
of a white Christmas. I should definitely know this! We | :22:31. | :22:45. | |
will put you out of your misery. Bing Crosby! Of course it is! Road | :22:46. | :22:59. | |
to Morocco! I don't hold out much hope for the next one! Bert, looking | :23:00. | :23:02. | |
happy. Beautiful hat. Audrey Hepburn played this | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
character. My fair Lady? | :23:07. | :23:26. | |
APPLAUSE Very good! Has he not been an extra | :23:27. | :23:34. | |
yet on Poldark? I'm afraid not, he is much too busy! | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
These 300,000-year-old skulls of five early humans have recently | :23:39. | :23:41. | |
been found in North Africa suggesting Homo sapiens emerged | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
at least 100,000 years earlier than previously believed. | :23:47. | :23:48. | |
But, as Philip Mould discovers, it can sometimes be dangerous | :23:49. | :23:50. | |
I've spent my life casting a critical eye over the authenticity | :23:51. | :24:05. | |
of paintings and sculptures because when it comes to art, not everything | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
is always as it appears. But when you come to a temple of science, | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
like this, you instinctively feel you are on safe ground. After all, a | :24:16. | :24:22. | |
fossil is solid rock dog out of the ground, exactly as it is. Or so we | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
are led to believe. Good fossils also be a victim of fakery? Today, I | :24:29. | :24:39. | |
will find out. I am teaming up with Dean, the Sherlock Holmes of the | :24:40. | :24:41. | |
fossil world who has investigated many fake fossils. This one, part of | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
it was embedded in a different rock type. It was fake, made from non-2 | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
separate individuals. Can we find more fakes? We have come to the | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
National Museum in Wales to look at the price collection of | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
ichthyosaurs, animals that lived during the time of the dinosaurs. | :25:02. | :25:07. | |
Dean knows this display very well and wants to show me something. This | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
one is dubious, this girl looks lovely. But... -- the skull. There | :25:13. | :25:21. | |
are some slight discolouring. And that indicates that this snout has | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
been reconstructed. The nose was missing so the museum recreated one | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
from plaster to assure the public how it would look if complete. You | :25:31. | :25:33. | |
can see how well it has been done, hardly any difference. If this was a | :25:34. | :25:40. | |
portrait by Gainsborough and his nose was added by another hand I | :25:41. | :25:42. | |
would be worried, not the real thing. It looks like fakery. The | :25:43. | :25:49. | |
difference is that there has been no intention to deceive for profit. | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
This has been reconstructed for display purposes, definitely not | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
fake. It is more conjugated than I thought, fossils could be restored | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
but that does not necessarily make them fakes. The museum has bravely | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
given us privileged access to the storeroom to see if we can discover | :26:08. | :26:14. | |
anything they are not aware of. For the Victorians, fossils provided | :26:15. | :26:17. | |
like art and worth more if complete so sometimes teachers were sneakily | :26:18. | :26:24. | |
added. It was fossils for art's sake rather than science. It must have | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
been a nightmare for subsequent scientists. That is why I get called | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
into museums to check authenticity. This one looks a little bit | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
different, quite tiny and it has some features suggesting it belongs | :26:39. | :26:44. | |
to a species... There is only one other specimen of it known from | :26:45. | :26:50. | |
records. This could be super rare. This could be exciting! We have to | :26:51. | :26:58. | |
prove that this is real? In actual fact, if you take a closer look, | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
that portion of bone is lighter than this and when we look at these tail | :27:03. | :27:08. | |
vertebrae, they are much larger than on the adjacent area, I wonder if | :27:09. | :27:14. | |
that has been reconstructed. The stakes are really high, this could | :27:15. | :27:17. | |
be an important find or just fake. So giving us full 3D CT scan. The | :27:18. | :27:23. | |
scan reveals from the bottom up as supporting frame. Packing sand. The | :27:24. | :27:32. | |
rock was finding and finally the fossil itself. Immediately Dean | :27:33. | :27:37. | |
spots something strange, it is not just one piece of rock. One, two, | :27:38. | :27:44. | |
three blocks making of this fossil. Signs fake but it is not that | :27:45. | :27:50. | |
simple. They seem to mind up, this one with the tail, lining up with | :27:51. | :27:53. | |
the rest of the tail and these are the ribs going to the back of the | :27:54. | :27:58. | |
skull. If and pieces of rock are carefully put back together with | :27:59. | :28:03. | |
plaster. What is key is the bones. I live from the same individual or | :28:04. | :28:07. | |
not? I can see with the size of the bones in the plaster that they match | :28:08. | :28:12. | |
those in the rock. I think we're looking at the specimen that is | :28:13. | :28:17. | |
completely authentic. Here we have a result. We have proved this to be a | :28:18. | :28:23. | |
genuine specimen of a very rare ichthyosaur, an important addition | :28:24. | :28:27. | |
to the fossil record. Thank you, Philip. | :28:28. | :28:33. | |
And if you are planning to watch the election results tonight, | :28:34. | :28:36. | |
either by yourself or you're having a bit of a party, please | :28:37. | :28:38. | |
send us a picture to the usual email address. | :28:39. | :28:41. | |
We'll show them tomorrow as we discuss the results | :28:42. | :28:43. | |
with our election man Matt Forde and comedian Steve Coogan. | :28:44. | :28:48. | |
Thanks to Eleanor and Tom for joining us this evening. | :28:49. | :28:53. | |
Poldark returns to our screens on Sunday night at 9pm on BBC One. | :28:54. | :28:56. | |
Alex and Amol will be looking after the sofa tomorrow. | :28:57. | :28:59. |
