:00:19. > :00:23.Hello and welcome to The One Show with Matt Baker. And Alex Jones.
:00:23. > :00:28.Tonight's guest is a man of many faces. He can forget him as Brian
:00:28. > :00:32.Potter in Phoenix Nights? Reality TV star, Geraldine. And later in
:00:32. > :00:42.the show we will be finding out why he presented himself in front of
:00:42. > :00:42.
:00:42. > :00:52.royalty dressed as a fireplace. loves dressing up! It is Peter Kay!
:00:52. > :00:58.
:00:58. > :01:07.Come on in. How lovely to see you. Yes! That's because of your
:01:07. > :01:12.rickshaw, that. I wouldn't do that to a lady. I'll take it off when we
:01:13. > :01:20.do the BT. What's on the menu tonight? We've got some lovely
:01:20. > :01:30.stuff. A lovely thing about winter fuel. Winter fuel! As usual, can
:01:30. > :01:30.
:01:30. > :01:35.you burn me a disc of the stories to keep. Personalised Christmas
:01:35. > :01:41.cards? Have you got a one about a lonely bird? The S. The eve got
:01:41. > :01:45.about three up. The it's lovely. It's a bit common, I have to say.
:01:45. > :01:50.The few people have said it's a bit tacky. This is your last day of
:01:50. > :01:57.work before Christmas. Don't say that. There are people out there
:01:57. > :02:03.grafting. This is my last booking. Have you got a tree at home? Yes,
:02:03. > :02:09.all I've got to get now are my bits. Everyone says that. What is your
:02:09. > :02:12.colour scheme? We did it ourselves. Susan's brother thought we'd had it
:02:12. > :02:19.done professionally but we did it ourselves last Thursday. Gold and
:02:19. > :02:26.red. We ran out of decorations around the back. So if you are on
:02:26. > :02:31.the front street you can't see. put it in a corner. The didn't get
:02:31. > :02:36.enough balls, they ran out at the garden centre. We are going to be
:02:36. > :02:42.having a chat with Peter about The Book That's More Than Just A Book.
:02:42. > :02:49.It's a coaster. There are schools closed in Scotland today because of
:02:49. > :02:54.the Haibin spag bol, which in some parts reached over 100 mph. That is
:02:54. > :02:58.50 miles inland. There is more snow on its way. This time, it's
:02:58. > :03:02.expected to fall as far south as Birmingham. It's not the end of the
:03:02. > :03:06.world but you can see it. But that the rising costs of heating bills,
:03:06. > :03:12.Anita Rani has been to find out about a new scheme that can help
:03:12. > :03:14.those over 60 who are struggling to stay warm. 5.4 million people are
:03:14. > :03:19.currently living in fuel poverty in Britain. This is where the person
:03:19. > :03:24.spends more than 10 % of their annual income on heating bills.
:03:24. > :03:30.don't know whether it's because I'm old, getting older. Not being able
:03:30. > :03:33.to have the heating on as much as possible. But I do dread the winter.
:03:33. > :03:39.It was those fears that the winter fuel allowance was designed to
:03:39. > :03:46.reduce when it was introduced 14 years ago. The Grand was �400 for
:03:47. > :03:51.over 80s and �250 for over 60s. That's now gone down to �300 and
:03:51. > :03:54.�200. But help is at hand in the form of a new charity which enables
:03:55. > :04:00.those who cannot afford not to have their winter fuel allowance to give
:04:00. > :04:06.them money to those over 60 who do. And the man in charge of the
:04:06. > :04:09.campaign is the CEO of the Community Foundation network. How
:04:09. > :04:13.will the money be spent? Some of it will be spent directly helping
:04:13. > :04:18.people pay their fuel bills. Some of it will help people by fires or
:04:18. > :04:23.insulate their home. Others will be spent on lunch clubs, so people can
:04:23. > :04:26.get older people and give them a warm, hot meal. There must be a
:04:26. > :04:31.percentage of the money that gets you stuck on your own costs. What
:04:31. > :04:35.is that? Every �1 that is donated will be given to benefit in an
:04:35. > :04:39.older person. All of the costs of the campaign will be given out of
:04:39. > :04:43.any gift Aid we are able to claim back on the donations be received.
:04:43. > :04:50.And a variety of celebrities in their 60s are willing to give up
:04:50. > :04:53.their allowance. It is wrong when there is a winter we are facing a
:04:53. > :04:56.head, the economy collapsing like this, that people who hang on to
:04:56. > :05:00.this money and can afford not to. In its great that we, who don't
:05:00. > :05:03.need to have this very nice gift from the government, we can give it
:05:03. > :05:07.to those people for whom their winter fuel allowance isn't enough
:05:07. > :05:10.to pay for their heating bill. think the problem with any old
:05:10. > :05:14.scheme would be, how do y'know that the right person is getting the
:05:14. > :05:18.money? As long as it is administrator at Corretja, I am
:05:18. > :05:22.more than happy to give mind. Donate the money to this charity,
:05:23. > :05:27.which is a good cause, or give it Deborah be to someone who you know
:05:27. > :05:30.needed more than you do. There will be people who will feel pressurised
:05:30. > :05:34.into donating. There might be somebody over 80 who really could
:05:34. > :05:39.do with that money but they feel there is someone always worse off
:05:39. > :05:42.than me, especially that generation because that's how they think.
:05:42. > :05:47.shouldn't feel pressured. People should only give if they can afford
:05:47. > :05:50.it. One lady has already donated her allowance is Sylvia.
:05:50. > :05:55.thought that people can't have warmth in their own home when they
:05:55. > :06:01.are of an age when they need as much warmth as possible is horrible.
:06:01. > :06:06.I wouldn't be happy thinking about that. And I've brought her to meet
:06:06. > :06:10.someone who might benefit from her generosity. Nice to meet you. What
:06:10. > :06:16.is it like in the depths of winter? I'm more or less in here without
:06:16. > :06:24.any heat on. I can't afford to have it on all day. But I've got my
:06:24. > :06:27.blankets and Aizue also got a good cardigan on. But there is time to
:06:27. > :06:32.have the air in the room getting colder and colder. Can you afford
:06:32. > :06:38.to have it on a bit longer? I shall have to. As long as I've got plenty
:06:38. > :06:41.to eat, I would just have to cook somewhere else. The appeal is still
:06:41. > :06:45.only in its infancy and really needs to pick up momentum before it
:06:45. > :06:51.can have its desired effect. But with it, at least there is hope
:06:51. > :06:53.that the money and warmth can get to the people who needed. Whether
:06:54. > :06:57.people want to donate their own allowance or they feel they need
:06:57. > :07:01.more money, how can they get involved? There are lots of
:07:02. > :07:05.charities that help the elderly at this time of the Year. Age UK,
:07:05. > :07:09.friends of the elderly, independent age. But if you feel there is
:07:09. > :07:14.someone in your community or a relative you are concerned about,
:07:14. > :07:16.go and help them yourself. If you want to do major winter fuel
:07:16. > :07:21.allowance to this particular campaign, you can go to their
:07:21. > :07:25.website. It is the Community Foundation's website. If you are
:07:25. > :07:28.somebody who feels could do with a bit of extra cash for the
:07:28. > :07:31.unfortunately, because it's just in its infancy his campaign, they
:07:31. > :07:35.haven't got the manpower to deal with phone-calls but you can write
:07:35. > :07:40.to them. There will be some people who are just too proud to ask for
:07:40. > :07:43.help. Yes. Some people feel that people shouldn't be pressurised
:07:43. > :07:47.into donating their money if they don't want to. Everyone has paid
:07:47. > :07:54.their taxes and everyone is entitled, but it shouldn't be
:07:54. > :07:58.confused with the cold payment, the cold weather payment. People who
:07:58. > :08:02.are on benefits are entitled to it. If there is a forecast of seven
:08:02. > :08:07.days on the trot of Zero degrees or below, then you get an extra
:08:07. > :08:12.payment of �25 straight into your account. Your dad when you're young
:08:12. > :08:16.Havant interesting insulating tape. Did you not do that when you were a
:08:16. > :08:23.kid? In the mid-70s, you kind of put this stuff around your door
:08:23. > :08:27.frames. Mum used to make those snake draft excluders. Yes. We used
:08:27. > :08:31.to put clingfilm around the windows and my dad would blow it with a
:08:31. > :08:34.hairdryer. He said he couldn't afford double glazing. It didn't
:08:34. > :08:40.work but that is what they used to do. We didn't all have central
:08:40. > :08:44.heating. It is true. If you've no hot water for your shower you are
:08:44. > :08:51.up in arms, on you? If something breaks down with your boiler.
:08:52. > :08:55.Anyway. When it comes to Christmas cards there is nothing quite like
:08:55. > :09:00.the personal touch. And this week, Chief Secretary to the Treasury,
:09:00. > :09:06.Danny Alexander, poked fun at himself after being called a ginger
:09:06. > :09:10.rodent by Harriet Harman. Here is his festive offering. Showing a red
:09:10. > :09:14.squirrel in the snow. As Lucy has been finding out, many of you also
:09:14. > :09:18.like to put your own stamp on your Christmas cards. This year, many of
:09:18. > :09:24.us would use the Christmas period to remind our nearest and dearest
:09:24. > :09:31.what we actually look like. I wonder who this is from. How
:09:31. > :09:35.lovely! Time was, it seemed, when only royalty, government and
:09:35. > :09:37.celebrities would dream of sending personalised Christmas cards. I'm
:09:37. > :09:41.in Havant, on the south coast of Hampshire, to meet some families
:09:41. > :09:48.who like to give their Christmas cards that extra-special personal
:09:48. > :09:54.touch. Serran and Simon have brought baby Hugo and little
:09:54. > :09:59.jazzman to this photography studio. -- Jasmine. Are you an
:09:59. > :10:02.exhibitionist, do you like having your picture taken? Not at all.
:10:02. > :10:05.There are things on the website we can download your own pictures but
:10:06. > :10:14.we wanted something more professional. Because it's going to
:10:14. > :10:19.a wider audience. What is the baby going to wait? Evidently, baby Hugo
:10:19. > :10:26.isn't ready for his close-up! It's quite easy, I'm expecting Bing
:10:26. > :10:30.Crosby to come and sit there. Now it is Andrew and Catherine, with
:10:30. > :10:36.Emily, William and Megan. But clearly some members of the family
:10:36. > :10:40.would rather not be photographed. Brilliant. We'll have you on that
:10:40. > :10:46.site. You will have to smile. might be too much to bear for
:10:46. > :10:53.William! I just want to know what his mates will make of it. Was it
:10:53. > :10:57.good fun for everybody? Yes! William, are you going to send it
:10:57. > :11:03.to everyone you know? No Paul Stout who do you think will like this the
:11:03. > :11:10.most? Grandma! It's about having families coming together and
:11:10. > :11:14.enjoying themselves. Next up, it's Tony and Barry, with their Paul
:11:14. > :11:23.Rees. I can't wait to see what you are going to come up with. Get
:11:23. > :11:33.changed. I know it's going to be spectacular. You look so cute! I
:11:33. > :11:37.
:11:37. > :11:41.don't know what to say. Barry, what are you? A Christmas turkey.
:11:41. > :11:49.already it's a real Christmas scene has descended into total chaos.
:11:49. > :11:54.This is going to get quite messy. When Sir Henry Cole invented the
:11:54. > :12:04.Christmas card in 1843, was this what he had in mind? Almost
:12:04. > :12:08.
:12:08. > :12:14.certainly not. But it is a lot of Did you get it? Lovely.
:12:14. > :12:22.successful day for the appeals court. That is our Christmas card!
:12:22. > :12:28.Look at that on my cheek. Is it lipstick? I will keep that. On to
:12:28. > :12:33.your book, The Book That's More Than Just A Book. Why is it more
:12:33. > :12:43.than just a book? I don't know, it just sounded like a funny title.
:12:43. > :12:47.Have you got it? It is hiding in the office. The tour has ended.
:12:47. > :12:54.now the book, it has loads of pictures in it. It's not a pop-up
:12:54. > :13:02.book. I used to love a pop-up book. You could put one inside the cover.
:13:02. > :13:07.Pictures. Let's have a look. There is you with your nan. What are you
:13:07. > :13:11.doing there? I'm showing her how to work sky. It's a nightmare because
:13:11. > :13:17.we've gone digital now when deuce only got used to pounds, shillings
:13:17. > :13:27.and pence. She can pause it. You can go to the toilet or go for a
:13:27. > :13:32.cup of tea. You are not controlling Britain. And then the next one, you
:13:32. > :13:36.go from comedian to taxi driver. don't drink. I drink Bailey's, it's
:13:36. > :13:42.more of a desert than a drink, but I do end up dropping everyone else
:13:42. > :13:52.off when they have a night out. Peter, can you get another one in?
:13:52. > :13:52.
:13:52. > :13:59.I've got nine in and two in the boot! It's all legitimate. Now to
:13:59. > :14:04.your exercise regime. What is going on here? I did a rosemary Connolly.
:14:04. > :14:11.I got it from the charity shop. You are doing it and then she says, now
:14:11. > :14:18.we've warmed up... Now we've warmed up, Rosemary? Reject! I was
:14:18. > :14:24.sweating like Jeremy Clarkson. Sorry! I can say that... You can
:14:24. > :14:29.say that, that's fine. What is next? You've done the book, is it
:14:29. > :14:33.the movie, more than just a movie? No, I just enjoy Christmas more
:14:34. > :14:43.than Christmas Christmas. I'm going to enjoy Christmas, get my bits and
:14:43. > :14:48.I don't know what I'm doing next. Speak of not doing anything, you
:14:48. > :14:55.say the art of through a sickie is on the decline. Let's have a look.
:14:55. > :15:00.No-one does that any more. Did you used to do that? You can't phone in
:15:00. > :15:08.sick here. I was a farmer's son, you can't do that. The animals are
:15:08. > :15:14.relaying on you. I like ed when Kelly on X Factor threw a sickie.
:15:14. > :15:21."I can't come in. I think it's one of those 24 hour things." Next
:15:21. > :15:27.thing you are on duvet with a bowl of chicken soup and a duvet.
:15:27. > :15:32.also think there is too much choice in the world. This is you where a -
:15:32. > :15:36.- with a mass of cables. I can't sleep at night. It is like a
:15:36. > :15:43.spaceship landing. Everything is on charge in our house. Is that your
:15:43. > :15:52.kitsch stkphn No, that's just retrend -- kitchen? No, that's just
:15:52. > :15:56.pretend, Alex. I'm CGI. I'm at home now. This is green screen. Like
:15:56. > :16:01.Gladiator. And you've just finished your biggest comedy tour. That's
:16:01. > :16:07.all done. Hats off as a sign of respect. A massive tour. I loved it.
:16:07. > :16:12.It was nice. It were good. Will there being another one? I don't
:16:12. > :16:18.think so. No! I've done it now. that it for you now? I love stand-
:16:18. > :16:23.up. I really enjoy it, but I want to do other things now. I don't
:16:24. > :16:29.know what but you should always do what frightens you. Flying a kite
:16:29. > :16:34.in this weather probably. Sit hard for you to think of the next thing?
:16:34. > :16:38.No, I've got some ideas but I just want some time off now, with my
:16:38. > :16:44.family. I loved the tour. I didn't come away from it feeling I didn't
:16:44. > :16:49.want to do stand-up again. I will move on and do other things. I
:16:49. > :16:55.honestly do note know what to do next, so if you have any ideas,
:16:55. > :16:58.ring in. Clean ones obviously, and sensible ones. The book is out in
:16:58. > :17:04.the shops now. One of Phil Tufnell's jobs here on
:17:04. > :17:10.The One Show is to scour the countryside and find lands marks
:17:10. > :17:14.where you think, "What on earth is that?" We are used to seeing large
:17:14. > :17:18.metal pylons scattered across our fields. We don't give them a second
:17:18. > :17:24.glance. But apparently there's one here that's a little bit different.
:17:24. > :17:29.Wow! That's an on electricity pylon. But what's this huge structure
:17:29. > :17:37.doing in the back of beyond? We are deep in Lincolnshire, not far from
:17:37. > :17:42.Louth. There might be a clue in the fact that someone called Flight
:17:42. > :17:45.Sergeant Martin Clayton came to meet me. This is not a pylon. It is
:17:45. > :17:52.an old radar power. It is double the height of a pylon. It used to
:17:52. > :17:57.be part of a set of far, part of a chain for our radar defence system.
:17:57. > :18:02.It was a link all down the South Coast, up the East Coast, to locate
:18:02. > :18:08.German aircraft as they came across from the North Sea. It was an early
:18:08. > :18:15.warning radar system. Stenigot tower continued throughout the Cold
:18:15. > :18:20.War but as technology improved the tower was recommissioned. This one
:18:20. > :18:26.lived on to fight another day, in a slightly more unusual way. It is
:18:26. > :18:31.now the main training site for what the RAF call the Aerial Erectors'
:18:31. > :18:35.School. What are these gis up to up there? They are undertaking one of
:18:35. > :18:41.the training exercises which is going to check their aptitude for
:18:41. > :18:47.heights. Why do we need aerial erectors? They are responsible for
:18:47. > :18:51.all the communications towers that the British forces use all over the
:18:51. > :18:57.world. So if they don't pass this test it is probably best to get
:18:57. > :19:02.another job? There are other things out there to get involved in, yes.
:19:02. > :19:06.RAF trainees have to work at height, like in Afghanistan and Iraq.
:19:06. > :19:11.Before battle they are sent here to see if they've got what it takes.
:19:11. > :19:15.What is it like up there, scary? is fun. That first time you get
:19:15. > :19:20.across, it must take some courage to make that leap. The first time I
:19:20. > :19:23.thought, what am I doing here? But you crack on with it. As it is used
:19:23. > :19:27.to test whether people have a head for heights the team here have
:19:27. > :19:37.asked to test my head. I should have seen that coming. Particularly
:19:37. > :19:38.
:19:38. > :19:43.as I really don't like heights. Not too bad. Nice and windy. The RAF
:19:43. > :19:47.want to show me why the tower is so effective. They want me to have a
:19:47. > :19:57.go at one of the official exercises. This one involves climbing out
:19:57. > :19:57.
:19:57. > :20:02.without any support across what looks like thin air! Thanks, lads.
:20:02. > :20:11.I'm going. I'm going. Take your left hand up and grab hold. Same
:20:11. > :20:16.with the other hand. Excellent. The bit where you let go
:20:16. > :20:19.and you've just got it between your legs, that is quite scary. That's
:20:19. > :20:28.pretty scarey, because you've got nothing to hold on to. We are going
:20:28. > :20:32.to the big platform up there now? Let's go and do it. Good effort.
:20:32. > :20:37.You've got to be fit just to clamber up here. Look at that view.
:20:37. > :20:41.I got a bit wobbly halfway. Just don't look down. I never thought I
:20:41. > :20:46.would never make it this far, but it is a shame to stop so close to
:20:46. > :20:52.the top. Last push. Apparently I need to see what the RAF puts its
:20:52. > :20:57.trainees through. You made it. feet up in the air, top of the
:20:57. > :21:03.world. There is no doubt at all, this
:21:03. > :21:08.really does test your head for heights. That's quite scary. How
:21:08. > :21:15.did you turn round? You've have got to admire the work these guys do.
:21:15. > :21:20.Even though I made it to the top I am not cut out for this work. Good
:21:20. > :21:26.lad. I wouldn't go up in this wind. Is that a television transistor
:21:26. > :21:31.mast? Yes. There's one of them in Bolton. My mate work there had and
:21:31. > :21:36.when people would go up there if there was something they didn't
:21:36. > :21:41.like they would go and tell him, "What's this filth on Channel 4?"
:21:41. > :21:48.He would say, "Channel 4 don't tell me, I'm just working the aerial."
:21:48. > :21:54.Are you a fan of the ladder? isn't, Matt? Exactly. I love The
:21:54. > :21:58.One Show. Questions like that, "Are awe fan of a ladder?" I like a
:21:58. > :22:04.ladder. I've got a chair that's a stepladder. You flip it over. A
:22:04. > :22:08.friend of mine got it for my birthday. This week you've been
:22:08. > :22:14.rubbing shoulders with royalty. met them all bar the Queen this
:22:14. > :22:19.week. I met Anne on Monday. And on Tuesday they were all there. Look
:22:19. > :22:24.at that. Prince Charles, Kate Middleton in the background. I met
:22:24. > :22:31.Charles. I said, "How are you, alright?" What's wrong with that?
:22:31. > :22:38.They were having a go for saying, "Hiya, are you alright?" But there
:22:38. > :22:43.is protocol, Peter. Look, I paid for his house, can I say what I
:22:43. > :22:48.want! LAUGHTER He's a good laugh. They watch this show. Highia, you
:22:48. > :22:53.alright? As far as the performance was concerned, the royal variety,
:22:53. > :22:59.there were a couple of glitches. couple! I did it on Monday. It will
:22:59. > :23:07.shine up a treat. You won't tell when it is edited. This is before
:23:07. > :23:17.it all went wrong. Let's have a look.
:23:17. > :23:32.
:23:32. > :23:37.CHEERING And that was the last time I smiled
:23:37. > :23:42.on Monday. What happened? Why did it go so badly wrong? I don't know
:23:42. > :23:48.if I can contractually elaborate. But we'll see on Wednesday. There
:23:48. > :23:56.is me dressed as a fireplace. I said, "Is it warm in here or sit
:23:56. > :24:01.me?" That was introducing Leona Lewis. She was singing Hurt. They
:24:01. > :24:06.just had a few things that went wrong and everyone was sat in their
:24:06. > :24:10.seats for five hours. Other than, that it was fantastic. Guess who
:24:10. > :24:15.they sent on the keep it all going? Me. I can't apologise enough.
:24:15. > :24:21.were asking about a film about a lonely bird. You have not got one,
:24:21. > :24:26.have you? What are if odds of that? If you are lonesome tonight spare a
:24:26. > :24:31.thought for Elvis, who has been searching for love. A bird, bird. I
:24:31. > :24:36.thought you meant a woman! LAUGHTER He's been searching for love for
:24:36. > :24:42.eight years. Mike Dilger went to Stornoway. The magnificent snowy
:24:42. > :24:46.owl is usually at home within the frozen Arctic Circle but on very
:24:46. > :24:50.rare occasions they've even been known to fly south as far as the
:24:50. > :24:55.Scottish islands. Even more surprisingly, since 2003 one
:24:55. > :25:01.particular bird has decided to make the Outer Hebrides his home. In
:25:01. > :25:06.that time he's become a bit of a celebrity. He live as solitary life
:25:06. > :25:10.and has even been spotted sideling up to a white plastic bag. Maybe
:25:10. > :25:15.for company. He might be more than a thousand miles from home. So,
:25:15. > :25:21.could this be the loneliest bird in Britain? The locals have named him
:25:21. > :25:31.Elvis and I've come all the way here to the isle of Lewes is to try
:25:31. > :25:33.
:25:33. > :25:37.and find out if he is still lonesome tonight. My chances of
:25:37. > :25:41.spotting him are as remote as these islands, so my first stop is
:25:41. > :25:47.Stornoway to see if the locals can point me in the right direction. We
:25:47. > :25:53.are looking for the famous Elvis, the snowy owl. Have you seen him?
:25:53. > :25:58.No. Any idea where you can track him down? He's gone on holiday.
:25:58. > :26:01.Have you seen him? I haven't I'm afraid. A few people know about him
:26:01. > :26:06.but tracking him down isn't going to be straightforward. In fact he
:26:06. > :26:11.is so rare we put out a wanted poster for him a couple of months
:26:11. > :26:14.ago. And I'm armed with the latest internal from bird watchers about
:26:14. > :26:20.his movements. He was seen in Stornoway just south of where we
:26:20. > :26:24.are right now. He's been more recently seen on the north coast.
:26:24. > :26:29.So potentially that's one place we really should try. And this is
:26:29. > :26:33.where I'm heading now. I want to give myself the best possible
:26:33. > :26:38.chance of tracking Elvis down, so I'm joining forces with Martin
:26:38. > :26:44.Scott of the RSPB, who put the word out on level radio. We are looking
:26:44. > :26:51.for a snowy owl. If you have seen it, give us ring. Whilst we wait to
:26:51. > :26:56.see if there are any calls from the public, we head to a rocky headland.
:26:56. > :27:01.Martin, I'm thinking, one small need until a very large haystack.
:27:01. > :27:10.There are lots of white things about there amongst the rocks.
:27:10. > :27:13.open moorland habitat with the grass is ideal for snowy owls, as
:27:13. > :27:18.they normally inhabit the tundra close to the Arctic. The up there
:27:18. > :27:24.they live on a diet of lemmings but it seems Elvis is just as happy
:27:24. > :27:33.with the rabbits here. We haven't seen Elvis yet but we've seen a
:27:33. > :27:42.buzzard flying around this Cairn. And we've spotted this which an owl
:27:42. > :27:47.has coughed up. Martin has a couple of huge pellets.. Pull of rabbit
:27:47. > :27:52.bones and fur, which is classic snowy owl food. I suppose we have
:27:52. > :27:58.to keep looking and not give up. After a couple of hours of chasing
:27:58. > :28:08.rocks we move on the another of Elvis's so-called favourite haunts.
:28:08. > :28:11.
:28:11. > :28:17.It is even more barren. Then, our luck changed. Frankly, we had given
:28:17. > :28:20.up, but can you see that little white blob over there? It is a
:28:20. > :28:26.loneliest bird in the world. We've located Elvis and he is right on
:28:26. > :28:30.the north coast of Lewis. It begs the question, why is he here?
:28:30. > :28:35.drifted down from Greenland and Arctic Canada and ended up on the
:28:35. > :28:40.Hebrides. He's found a habitat to his liking but can't find a mate.
:28:40. > :28:44.The chances of a female wandering down here are quite slim, but you
:28:44. > :28:49.never know. We'll keep our fingerss crossed for him. In the end we
:28:49. > :28:57.spent almost an hour with Elvis and he seemed totally unfazed by our
