:00:23. > :00:29.Hello and welcome to the One Show, with Alex Jones. And Matt Baker.

:00:29. > :00:33.Tonight's guest is an Irish stand- up, who is sitting on the funny

:00:33. > :00:38.side of the periodic table. With comedy that is out of this world,

:00:38. > :00:45.it is Dara O'Briain. How are you? Very well. Labouring under a bit of

:00:45. > :00:48.a cold, as you do (coughs) that was genuinely. On tour, every night you

:00:48. > :00:55.reaggravate, there is nothing the audience want to hear more than

:00:55. > :01:00.that. Your throat, stuffed. Acenacia. I can't do a science show

:01:00. > :01:05.and be in favour of that, that doesn't work! I need to see

:01:05. > :01:08.evidence for that. The weird thing is, it is a joke, I went into a

:01:08. > :01:14.chemist and said do you have anything, really proper stuff, and

:01:14. > :01:16.the woman walked out, and went, I know just the thing, the

:01:16. > :01:22.pharmaceutical woman, and said these are very good, because not

:01:22. > :01:29.only have you suck them, but there is honey, and I stood there, and

:01:29. > :01:33.said, I'm sorry pet, are you explaining Lockets to me. I'm a 40-

:01:33. > :01:38.year-old man, they have been on the market for some time now. We have

:01:38. > :01:44.mastered that. Other cough sweets of course? Of course, of course.

:01:44. > :01:48.You are looking good to us. Lots of people say you look uncannily like

:01:48. > :01:54.this character, from Despicable Me? I hear that a lot, I love it. In

:01:54. > :01:57.the list of things that I look like, the Megabus man, a giant sausage,

:01:58. > :02:04.that is one of the things. I say it every night, it gets a huge round

:02:04. > :02:09.of applause every night. People say, "oh you do", I say don't clap, that

:02:09. > :02:16.clap the jokes I write. Don't clap the fact that I accidentally look

:02:16. > :02:23.like an animated villain. You have a neck. And chins. Over 40,000

:02:23. > :02:26.people on Twitter say. Every time it is on the tele, people say it.

:02:26. > :02:32.Tomorrow morning, six very brave tiejers will be setting off from

:02:32. > :02:35.Llandudno at -- teenager, will be setting off from Llandudno as the

:02:35. > :02:38.teenage Rickshaw Challenge gets under way. I am heading off to

:02:38. > :02:42.North Wales after the show. They are on board the rickshaw now,

:02:42. > :02:49.Ciaran is there, and Darren has a microphone. How are things up there,

:02:49. > :02:52.you have less than 12 hours to go, what is the feeling within Team

:02:52. > :02:55.Rickshaw? Everyone has different feelings at this minute. I'm a

:02:55. > :03:01.little bit apprehensive, but I'm really looking forward to it. It

:03:01. > :03:06.should be good. We are all raring to go. Have you had your last meal,

:03:06. > :03:13.and if so, what did you have? sandwiches on the train, some cake

:03:13. > :03:17.when I got here, I'm looking forward to my meal tonight, loads

:03:17. > :03:20.of carbohydrate. Cake, very athletic. We will hear more from

:03:21. > :03:24.Team Rickshaw later on. We will be talking to Dara about his new

:03:24. > :03:28.science series as well. In the moon time, to get us into the thinking

:03:28. > :03:34.mode, Dara has a challenge for you at home. I do, you wanted something

:03:34. > :03:38.that was very simple, straight forward, a puzzle, four oranges, it

:03:38. > :03:43.is very easy to. Do you get four oranges or any kind of apples,

:03:43. > :03:48.other fruit available. You put them out, a simple puzzlek how can you

:03:48. > :03:51.arrange them so they are all equi- distant, each orange is the same

:03:51. > :03:56.distance from every other orange. Any way you want, how do you move

:03:56. > :04:03.them, is it that, that, that. See what you can do.

:04:03. > :04:05.Take a photo of your efforts and Take a photo of your efforts and

:04:05. > :04:10.Dara will see who got it right. This summer, sporting fever swept

:04:10. > :04:14.the nation, as the best of Olympic athletes swept to victory.

:04:14. > :04:19.We all have our own memories of the games, some wanted a more permanent

:04:19. > :04:25.reminder, the fact that people could buy a piece of the Olympic

:04:25. > :04:31.legacy, hasn't quit worked out for everyone. The Olympics and

:04:31. > :04:37.Paralympics, events that made Britain proud. It is no surprise

:04:37. > :04:45.many of us, including me, wanted a souvenir to remember it by. I

:04:45. > :04:48.reported back in July on a company called ReMains of the Day. Selling

:04:48. > :04:53.off momentos from the Olympic village. The place was filling up

:04:53. > :05:01.with bits and pieces, big and small, from one of the largest events

:05:01. > :05:06.London had ever hosted. Many from the parts of the apartments the

:05:06. > :05:11.athletes stayed in. I came away with a loo brush, I was lucky, we

:05:11. > :05:18.have been in touch with many who are still waiting. For Kirsty and

:05:18. > :05:22.her family, the Olympics was a once in a lifetime event. It was

:05:22. > :05:26.fantastic, we started off with the Olympic Torch coming through our

:05:27. > :05:32.town. The kids were able to see that. We saw the open-water

:05:32. > :05:35.swimming. What attracted you to Remains of the Games? We would have

:05:35. > :05:41.something physical in the house that had been part of the Olympics,

:05:41. > :05:50.things we could keep forever. did you order? Three bean bags, two

:05:50. > :05:57.cushions, a mirror and a folding chair. I was so excited, because my

:05:57. > :06:02.stuff could be Usain Bolt sitting on it. How much did you spend?

:06:02. > :06:05.If they don't turn up, I will be so disappointed. The website said the

:06:05. > :06:08.items will be ready from mid- September, we are now into November,

:06:08. > :06:11.and Kirsty as family are still waiting. In fact, we have heard

:06:11. > :06:16.from lots of other frustrated customers who haven't received

:06:16. > :06:21.their goods either. Some have written to us, others have taken to

:06:21. > :06:27.social networking sites to voice their concerns.

:06:27. > :06:31.So, time to tackle the man behind the mess, Paul Levin from Remains

:06:31. > :06:33.of the Games. On the website it said some people will get their

:06:33. > :06:39.goods in September, it is now November. Why have they been

:06:39. > :06:43.waiting so long? We underestimated the complexity and the way of goods

:06:43. > :06:47.coming out from the venues. Goods coming out from venues in the

:06:47. > :06:51.village, are much, much slower than anybody projected and certainly

:06:51. > :06:56.what we were told. The goods that did come out, a lot of them were

:06:56. > :07:00.damaged. The thing that has really upset people is not being able to

:07:00. > :07:03.get in touch with you, either by phone or e-mail? Loads of things we

:07:03. > :07:08.would have liked to have done a lot better. We are sorry for that, we

:07:08. > :07:11.want customers to be happy, and we haven't achieved that. What

:07:11. > :07:15.guarantee can you now give to customers who are still waiting to

:07:15. > :07:19.receive their goods? We have over 80% of the stock in the collection

:07:19. > :07:23.centres. That means e-mails are going out. Inviting people to come

:07:23. > :07:26.and collect. Frankly, we want all the goods out of here. We now know

:07:27. > :07:34.that we are going to be able to give the sort of service that right

:07:34. > :07:37.at the start we wanted to give. With Paul promising that things are

:07:37. > :07:43.about to change, I can't resist speeding the process up for one

:07:43. > :07:51.family, at least. So, it's back to Kirsty's house

:07:51. > :08:01.with the boot full of bean bags! Hello, I have got something for you.

:08:01. > :08:05.Oh wow. Oh my God. Two cushions, keep passing it back.

:08:06. > :08:10.So the last time you saw this stuff was when you ordered it on the

:08:10. > :08:16.website some time ago. What is it like to actually see T I'm so

:08:16. > :08:21.pleased, thank you so much. Yeah! So for one family, at least, this

:08:21. > :08:25.story has a happy ending. Since then, the company has told us

:08:25. > :08:29.that many customers have received their goods, if you haven't, you

:08:29. > :08:32.should wait for an e-mail before you try to collect them. They have

:08:32. > :08:38.promised refunds where orders have been lost or damage. Would you have

:08:38. > :08:43.fancied that? I went to lots of things. Something like a javelin,

:08:43. > :08:47.or, like a giant pole vault mat. Yeah! That massive thing.

:08:47. > :08:52.They were the expensive things? Were they, could you get them.

:08:52. > :08:58.Hangers were a bargain, 50p? I have hangers. I can't say I would want

:08:58. > :09:01.that. I want to open my cupboards and get the glow of the Olympics

:09:01. > :09:08.every time I'm grabbing a shirt. You had a great time over the

:09:08. > :09:13.summer? I thought it was fantastic. I was one of these, the people who

:09:13. > :09:17.were on the web page, refreshing, refresh, refreshing, to get T any

:09:17. > :09:21.time something came up you grab it quickly I got a few tickets.

:09:21. > :09:26.Anything to get to anything. I was mad into it. You are your legacy is

:09:26. > :09:30.the picture you took? I blagged from the BBC into Katie Taylor,

:09:30. > :09:35.she's the Irish Boxer, you have to guess who that is, by the way.

:09:35. > :09:40.one person has that hairstyle? is a notable beehive. That is, I

:09:40. > :09:43.love saying this to Irish people, that is Princess Anne, covering her

:09:43. > :09:48.ears from the roars of the Irish crowd at the Katie Taylor fight.

:09:48. > :09:53.The best thing about it is, I took the photograph, I thought this is,

:09:53. > :09:59.slightly guilty, I took the photograph, she looked at me and

:09:59. > :10:02.just went, I met her once before. And then she stayed for the fight,

:10:02. > :10:07.she walked past, and we had a moment where we went like. That

:10:07. > :10:13.neither of us knew what to say. Steve Redgrave said, I said Steve,

:10:13. > :10:18.give us the hug, you are the king of the hugs, give us a hug. I have

:10:18. > :10:23.no clue, we had a moment, I don't know if he knows who I am, but two

:10:23. > :10:26.huge men hugging. Dara, your new DVD is out, Craic Dealer. We have

:10:26. > :10:31.to point out the obvious, this isn't you wearing a hoodie standing

:10:31. > :10:35.on a street corner? No, it is a pun that has proved difficult to sum!

:10:35. > :10:42.It should be noted, it is not, the way of explaining this, this might

:10:42. > :10:51.be very Bond Live And Let Die, this isn't me funnelling money illegally

:10:51. > :10:58.in drug use by setting up a loss- leader DVD. Cfrplt raic is an old

:10:58. > :11:02.Irish word for fun, it is great, next time I can do "craic addict"!

:11:02. > :11:07.The thing is I have done it so much, the year of touring it, I was

:11:07. > :11:13.passing through an airport in Dublin, a customs officers went as

:11:13. > :11:17.I went past, "oh here he is, the craic dealer!". Here is you

:11:17. > :11:21.pondering the London riots. I want have done it when I was 16. I

:11:21. > :11:25.wouldn't have been phoning around organising riots at 16. When I was

:11:25. > :11:31.16 we had one phone in the house, and it was in sitting room with the

:11:31. > :11:36.television and the couch. There is no way you can organise that.

:11:36. > :11:43.(quietly) we are having a riot, leave me be, I'm on the phone. "we

:11:43. > :11:48.will smash the system, and destroy capitalism, it will be amazing. I'm

:11:48. > :11:54.allowed to make calls as well. See you in town in half an hour, very

:11:54. > :11:58.good. I need a lift into town!" Dara, were you just getting too

:11:58. > :12:01.comfortable then behind the desk, or in the book? People presume

:12:01. > :12:07.because they see you doing the tele stuff all the time, that is what

:12:07. > :12:11.you do all the time. This year, for example, we did 1, 12, Mock The

:12:11. > :12:15.Week, 130 nights on tour. The TV stuff you drop in and do it so

:12:15. > :12:20.often, and then back out five nights on the road. The Craic

:12:20. > :12:24.Dealer DVD, is out on Monday. Someone we know was absolutely

:12:24. > :12:28.delighted when he discovered we were running a film tonight about a

:12:28. > :12:34.big-hearted bear that has been entertaining crowds for years.

:12:34. > :12:41.Imagine his disappointment when he realised it wasn't all about him!

:12:41. > :12:46.In August 1980, a full-scale air and sea search was mounted around

:12:46. > :12:51.the remote island in the Scottish Hebrides. The hunt attracted

:12:51. > :12:57.enormous media attention, and the story went global. But why all the

:12:57. > :13:02.fuss? Who or what had gone missing? The fugutive was a bear. An eight-

:13:02. > :13:09.foot tall, 06-stone grizzly called Hercules. Back in the 1970s, when

:13:09. > :13:14.you could still do such a thing, professional wrestler, Andy Robin,

:13:14. > :13:18.bought him from the local zoo for �50. He trained Hercules to play

:13:18. > :13:23.fight as part of his act. The bear became a member of the family,

:13:23. > :13:29.living and eating with Andy and his wife Maggie. Man and bear developed

:13:29. > :13:33.a unique bond of trust. One day, I swear to God, I fell in the river,

:13:33. > :13:39.he pounced on top of me. I thought, this is it, he's going to get me.

:13:39. > :13:44.He caught my hair and lifted me up, I swear to God, and looked at me as

:13:44. > :13:50.if to say, I'm not going to bite you. They travelled together in the

:13:50. > :13:55.world on this bus. The man and bear? They wrestled together. They

:13:55. > :14:00.loved to wrestle together. He had no chains on him, or barriers on

:14:00. > :14:03.the ring. He could jump out of the ring any day he wanted. Hercules

:14:03. > :14:08.graduated from the ring to TV appearances and commercials.

:14:08. > :14:15.Shooting an advert in the heb does, Andy allowed Hercules a break, for

:14:15. > :14:18.a favourite activity, a swim. Hercules promptly headed for the

:14:18. > :14:23.horizon. Talk about irresponsible parenting, really? He thinks he's

:14:23. > :14:27.in the pool he goes for a swim and taking off. Not knowing it is

:14:27. > :14:31.limitless. What did you do? Complete panic, because, unless you

:14:31. > :14:41.have been up there, you really don't realise the scope of the

:14:41. > :14:41.

:14:41. > :14:48.place, the currents. Alan Shepherd remembers well the day he went

:14:48. > :14:52.missing. How on earth could a bear this size disappear? It was het iry

:14:52. > :14:58.moorland, he blended into that. The only way of seeing him was on the

:14:58. > :15:02.move. Were the farmers worried the sheep would be ravaged? If one

:15:02. > :15:07.sheep was found, it would have gone. The anxious parents were more

:15:07. > :15:11.worried that he would starve to death before eating livestock. He

:15:11. > :15:16.was something of a gas row gnome. He loved a good pot of sea in the

:15:16. > :15:23.morning, he liked his roast chicken, his prawns. He wouldn't eat raw

:15:23. > :15:27.meat. Of course not. Unless there was a roast lamb wandering about.

:15:27. > :15:31.Three weeks went by, with no sign of the bear. Andy and Maggie were

:15:31. > :15:35.frantic with worry. You went to bed at night, and I could hear him

:15:35. > :15:41.crying into his pillow. And I was doing the same. But you were trying

:15:41. > :15:46.not to bring it together to make it even worse. So it was just a

:15:46. > :15:56.horrible time. Then, when all hope seemed lost, a sighting, on the

:15:56. > :15:56.

:15:57. > :16:01.island of north Uist. I saw the bear. From what distance? A mile or

:16:01. > :16:05.so. What was he doing? Walking across the moors. Tracked by

:16:05. > :16:10.helicopter, Hercules was shot with a tranquilliser dart, and reunited

:16:10. > :16:14.with Andy. But his time on the run, including the long swim to the next

:16:15. > :16:20.door island, had taken its toll. has lost 15 stone. Because he

:16:20. > :16:24.wasn't having the grub? He was very poorly, covered in ticks, I sat and

:16:24. > :16:30.picked all them off him. Every single person, I think, in the

:16:30. > :16:34.island brought milk. We had 1,000 pints of milk. 140 pints of milk

:16:34. > :16:38.appeared. He slurped away at it. That seemed to relife him. How was

:16:38. > :16:43.it for him when he got home? liked to be very close to you. He

:16:43. > :16:49.thought, I'm not having any more of that outdoor stuff. I'm staying

:16:49. > :16:57.close to home. Hercules recovered fully, and resumed his career. His

:16:57. > :17:02.escapist exploiplts making him more popular than ever. After --

:17:02. > :17:08.exploits making him more popular. He died from natural causes at the

:17:08. > :17:13.grand old age of 26. He lies here in their garden. You miss him

:17:13. > :17:17.still? He was a massive part of our lives, he made us laugh and brought

:17:17. > :17:21.us an enormous amount of pleasure. We will miss him still. It is jaw-

:17:21. > :17:26.dropping? That is like man in a suit. That entire report is a guy

:17:26. > :17:30.in a suit. He was in the studio in a television studio. I'm sorry to

:17:30. > :17:34.make it about us. Some show booked him as a guest. And there is

:17:34. > :17:38.somebody with you, a second half of the double act, it is bear! Can you

:17:39. > :17:42.imagine if we had one walking in from behind there, a big bear?

:17:42. > :17:49.would have an empty chair for him to fill. I would be throwing

:17:49. > :17:53.cameramen at him. That won insane. He loves a cup of tea. Pudsey is

:17:53. > :17:57.looking on in disbelief. Could never imagine a bear in the studio.

:17:57. > :18:02.You have a brand-new science show as well? Started last week, this

:18:02. > :18:06.Tuesday, five or six week of it, moving on to Christmas, Science

:18:06. > :18:11.Club, we take a topic and go at it from a fairly hefty way. We

:18:11. > :18:15.introduce it, it gets technical and we get into really good stuff.

:18:15. > :18:19.show experiments everyone can do at home? Obviously my impression of

:18:19. > :18:24.how you measure the speed of light would involve some massive

:18:24. > :18:28.telescope and planets and speed and lasers, how are we going to do it

:18:28. > :18:34.today? You could do it, or make cheese on toast. Lovely, that's

:18:34. > :18:38.perfect. You can see the hot spots where it is melted, left over the

:18:38. > :18:42.cold spots. Should we go for the centre. That should be half a

:18:42. > :18:46.wavelength, if you believe your theory.

:18:46. > :18:50.That should be correct. It is a very, very simple thing, anyone who

:18:50. > :18:53.sees it next Tuesday can do it. You can use cheese on toast or a large

:18:53. > :18:57.bar of chocolate, you measure the points and there is another number

:18:57. > :19:01.you need. We will see next Tuesday. We know you are a mass of knowledge,

:19:01. > :19:04.dar ra, we thought it would be quite interesting -- Dara, we

:19:04. > :19:09.thought it would be quite interesting to step into Dara

:19:09. > :19:16.O'Briain's brain! So, shall we spin the wheel? Surely

:19:16. > :19:21.there is more to my brain than that! There is other things I like.

:19:21. > :19:26.Last week we had Felix Baumgartner on the programme, can you, in your

:19:26. > :19:30.terms, explain why Felix doesn't get faster and faster and faster

:19:30. > :19:34.and faster? He got faster for a while and he slowed up. You reach a

:19:34. > :19:37.thing called terminal vessel loss tee, the speed of you going down is

:19:37. > :19:40.counter acted by the fact you are passing through the air, and you

:19:40. > :19:45.have friction from the air. The thicker the air, the closer to the

:19:46. > :19:49.ground, the slower you go. He hit a terminal velocity in thin air, and

:19:49. > :19:58.slowed down until the air got thicker, until he reached the 125

:19:58. > :20:04.miles an hour. Get in there again. As tron me. On Stargazing Live,

:20:04. > :20:07.your other pro-- astronomy. On Stargazing Live you look at other

:20:07. > :20:11.planets, is there life on other planets? Undoubtedly because there

:20:11. > :20:15.are so many planets and stars. You need somewhere a bit like us, a

:20:15. > :20:17.certain amount away from a heat source, with the right amount of

:20:17. > :20:21.chemicals, there is bound to be somewhere else. We will never get

:20:21. > :20:25.in contact with them. And Brian Cox went on a joke the other day about

:20:25. > :20:28.how the BBC stopped us due to health and safety. We didn't, we

:20:28. > :20:32.pointed a camera last January, we couldn't hearing anything. It will

:20:32. > :20:36.be next to impossible to hear from them. One of the programmes is

:20:36. > :20:41.about whether we can travel and hear from them in two weeks time.

:20:41. > :20:44.Yes there will be life somewhere. The last one, we know it is maths

:20:44. > :20:47.don't we! Earlier on you asked the audience to do this little

:20:47. > :20:57.Chancellor edge, we have lots of people sending -- challenge, we

:20:57. > :20:57.

:20:57. > :21:04.have had lots of people sending in their ideas? That is classic not

:21:04. > :21:09.the right idea, that one is far away from that. An 11-year-old and

:21:09. > :21:12.nine-year-old? That is spot on. That is exactly what you do.

:21:12. > :21:19.That is another illustration on it, you have to move into another

:21:19. > :21:24.direction. Science Club is on Tuesdays, BBC Two, 9.00pm. Our

:21:25. > :21:29.Children in Need Rickshaw Challenge and the intrepid teenagers who make

:21:29. > :21:31.up Team Rickshaw. Their incredible 411-mile journey

:21:31. > :21:35.from London to Llandudno starts bright and early tomorrow. Pudsey

:21:35. > :21:38.and I will be on the train any moment. We are going in about ten,

:21:38. > :21:43.are you all set? I hope you have your thermals

:21:43. > :21:45.packed. I will join them on Saturday, on the A470. Each of them

:21:45. > :21:48.has been helped by Children in Need in the past. They are doing this

:21:48. > :21:54.because they want to raise money for other young children.

:21:54. > :21:57.So far we have heard from Lauren, Jack, Ciaran, James and Jamila,

:21:57. > :22:00.which leaves, last, but definitely not least, Darren.

:22:00. > :22:04.Get the phones at the ready, details of how to donate will be on

:22:04. > :22:09.the screen during the film. Hello, my name is Darren, this is

:22:09. > :22:15.my family. My sister, my brother Sid, my dad, my mam. Not to mention,

:22:16. > :22:21.the four guide dogs. I'm a massive Doctor Who fan, as

:22:21. > :22:25.you can see from the huge collection here, I even have my own

:22:25. > :22:30.sonic screwdriver. I was born with a degenerative eye

:22:30. > :22:35.condition which is hereditary. It is called gauk coma, it is passed

:22:35. > :22:42.down from -- glauk coma, it passed down from my dad's side, my mum has

:22:42. > :22:47.eye problems as well. My brother and sister both have glaucoma, you

:22:47. > :22:51.have the sight troubles of your own, and living with people with worse

:22:51. > :22:58.sights, so you have to be their eyes as well. It has isolated us as

:22:58. > :23:07.a family from other families that have sight. You find it hard to mix

:23:07. > :23:14.and mingle with sighted children. He can do the same things, but it

:23:14. > :23:18.may take him longer. Today I'm rock claiming.

:23:18. > :23:21.-- rock climbing. We set this up because of the lack of support for

:23:21. > :23:24.vision-impaired children in the north eefplts thanks to Children in

:23:24. > :23:29.Need we have been able to run -- north-east, that is to Children in

:23:29. > :23:33.Need we have been able to run many activities for visually impaired

:23:33. > :23:36.children, the sorts of things normally they wouldn't be able to

:23:36. > :23:40.access. Darren has grown up with us, he has been very involved in

:23:40. > :23:44.everything we do. Very active and coming to nearly everything. His

:23:44. > :23:49.self-confidence and self-esteem has really improved since he has been

:23:49. > :23:54.coming to these sorts of activities. How was that? Fine, I enjoyed it.

:23:54. > :24:00.When I went to Useful Vision, that was the turning point in my life,

:24:00. > :24:04.really. They offered support and other families that had visual

:24:04. > :24:09.impairments. I could talk to them, and kids my own age, who had visual

:24:09. > :24:12.impairments. It was like I'm not the only one, I'm not alone, there

:24:12. > :24:18.is other people going through this as well.

:24:18. > :24:23.It is going to be more difficult for me for the Rickshaw Challenge

:24:23. > :24:27.because of my sight impairment. On coming obstacles that may move,

:24:27. > :24:31.such as traffic, may be less visible to me. There will have to

:24:31. > :24:36.be someone who tells me that. I have been doing some training, I

:24:36. > :24:39.have been training in the gym in Newcastle College, 20 minutes a day,

:24:39. > :24:46.three days a week on the bike machine. Just doing plenty of

:24:46. > :24:51.walking, hopefully it will help towards within I do the challenge.

:24:51. > :24:56.If it starts getting tough, me and his mum will be thinking about him.

:24:56. > :25:00.Keep on meddling and going, it is a very good cause. I'm a bit nervous

:25:00. > :25:04.about the bike ride, because of the sheer distance that has to be

:25:04. > :25:08.travelled. There will be loads of difficulties along the way, but I

:25:08. > :25:15.can hopefully combat them, like I have combatted everything in my

:25:15. > :25:18.life. Bring it on. (rings bell)

:25:18. > :25:22.A lovely family. There we are. Could you tell everybody how they

:25:22. > :25:32.can donate. I would be delighted, to show your support text the

:25:32. > :25:40.

:25:40. > :25:50.details below. You can also donate any amount you

:25:50. > :25:53.

:25:53. > :26:00.like by sending a cheque, can you It is time to go to Angellica who

:26:00. > :26:04.is with Team Rickshaw in Llandudno. Hello. Hello, yes, welcome to

:26:04. > :26:08.Llandudno. We're all in high spirits here, as you can see the

:26:08. > :26:13.rickshaw is outside. It has had a full maintenance check, it is safe,

:26:13. > :26:17.a God polish and all set to go. We have come in-- a good polish and

:26:17. > :26:21.all set to go. Here are Team Rickshaw. You might recognise six

:26:21. > :26:24.of the face, say hello to Sam and Shannon, who are reserves, just in

:26:24. > :26:28.cautious you will be there, whipping them, getting them in

:26:28. > :26:32.shape. I want a quick word with Lauren, how are you feeling?

:26:32. > :26:35.Feeling really good about it, I'm feeling really excited. You are

:26:35. > :26:40.looking forward to raising lots of money for Children in Need? Yes,

:26:40. > :26:43.once I start a job I finish it. are my sort of girl. You guys do

:26:43. > :26:48.not know who is starting off tomorrow morning. I can tell you

:26:48. > :26:54.the person starting off is James. Yes. You didn't expect that, did

:26:54. > :26:59.you? Everyone was going I don't want to start. How are you feeling?

:26:59. > :27:02.Well, that's pretty cool. I think it will be, yeah, I better get

:27:02. > :27:06.going. I'm going to let that sink in. We

:27:06. > :27:13.have a nice meal coming up later, I need to tell you about the route.

:27:13. > :27:18.Tomorrow it starts off at 6.00pm. It goes through Snowdonia National

:27:18. > :27:23.Park, off to Ffestiniog, then Ganllwyd, then Dolgellau, and

:27:23. > :27:27.hopefully by early evening you will be there, I hope I did the

:27:27. > :27:31.pronunciations right. If you live along the route it is the A470,

:27:31. > :27:35.cheer the guys on. You want support, don't you. We know last year when

:27:35. > :27:39.Matt did the Rickshaw Challenge he was astounded, and it really

:27:39. > :27:48.boosted him the amount of people who came and supported him. The

:27:48. > :27:51.last thing we did before we tuck into real carbohydrates, no more

:27:51. > :27:54.cake. As you know Bradley Wiggins was supposed to much recorded a

:27:54. > :28:00.special message, but he had an accident. Why not give Bradley a

:28:00. > :28:07.message from us. Let's look down the camera, what do we want to say.

:28:07. > :28:11.Get well soon Bradley! Back to you guys. We have some food to eat! All

:28:11. > :28:15.of Team Rickshaw, good luck, of course. It is going to be a big one.

:28:15. > :28:20.It is so funny it dawns on you that it is actually happening, and there

:28:20. > :28:22.is no way back. It is great, I would love to see what message

:28:23. > :28:26.Bradley Wiggins would have sent today, a very different tone, I

:28:26. > :28:32.would say. After tomorrow's tough ride to Dolgellau, the route

:28:32. > :28:35.continues to Lampeter, Swansea, Cardiff, Reading on Thursday,

:28:35. > :28:39.Salisbury, and we will be broadcasting from all those towns

:28:39. > :28:44.live next week. You can track our progress via the

:28:44. > :28:49.Children in Need website. Please, please, just donate

:28:49. > :28:53.whatever you can. If you go to the website it will tell you exactly

:28:53. > :28:56.where the rickshaw is, you can rush out and see it.
