0:00:16 > 0:00:18Hello and welcome to The One Show with Matt Baker.
0:00:18 > 0:00:19And Michelle Ackerley.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22Outside it may be cold and grey but in our studio this
0:00:22 > 0:00:26evening love is in the air.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29We have three special couples who by the end of the show will have
0:00:29 > 0:00:33renewed their wedding vows live on the show.
0:00:33 > 0:00:41Get your tissues and confetti ready!
0:00:41 > 0:00:44They are very nervous, it will be marvellous, do not worry.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46marvellous, do not worry.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Our best man Dan is here to talk about a girl's best friends -
0:00:49 > 0:00:52diamonds - specifically those belonging to her majesty the Queen.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54And our wedding guests tonight certainly don't fall
0:00:54 > 0:00:58into the category of people that you just want to invite
0:00:58 > 0:01:02to the evening do.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05The first puts the ding into wedding - our very own master of ceremonies.
0:01:05 > 0:01:06It's Lorraine Kelly.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09And swapping murder for matromony - from Death in Paradise it's
0:01:09 > 0:01:15Ardal O'Hanlon and Josephine Jobert.
0:01:15 > 0:01:20It is a special night. It is all in honour of you, Lorraine. Are you all
0:01:20 > 0:01:28feeling the love in the studio? I wish I had brought my confetti.You
0:01:28 > 0:01:34have only been to one wedding.Are you not a fan? I don't have that
0:01:34 > 0:01:38many friends I guess. I went to one and it was a lovely wedding and they
0:01:38 > 0:01:48were two good friends of mine. What I did is I made them a surprise. I
0:01:48 > 0:01:53filmed the wedding and gave them a video as a souvenir.You will be
0:01:53 > 0:01:58inundated with offers now. Lorraine, recently you have been to 12
0:01:58 > 0:02:02weddings in your new programme. But let's talk about your wedding. What
0:02:02 > 0:02:09atmosphere did you have yours?There was a lot of Titan, lots of pipers
0:02:09 > 0:02:14and whiskey and dancing. We even had friends of mine who do a
0:02:14 > 0:02:18re-enactment of a battle and they did a Braveheart thing. You know
0:02:18 > 0:02:23when the bride and groom go away to get their pictures taken and it
0:02:23 > 0:02:29takes ages. We got people something to do. They did a re-enactment of a
0:02:29 > 0:02:56battle. It is very romantic.You had quite an unusual wedding.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Well, we hope everything goes without a hitch
0:03:25 > 0:03:28with our ceremonies tonight, but if your wedding day didn't go
0:03:28 > 0:03:30quite to plan or something went wrong and you captured the moment
0:03:30 > 0:03:33on camera, send us a snap and we'll show the most
0:03:33 > 0:03:34embarrassing ones later!
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Now, it's fair to say that it certainly isn't a marriage made
0:03:37 > 0:03:39in heaven when it comes to the relationship between rail
0:03:39 > 0:03:41operators and commuters.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Not only have fares increased, today the UK's biggest rail
0:03:43 > 0:03:45franchise has been officially named the worst.
0:03:45 > 0:03:46The National Audit Office branded Thameslink, Southern
0:03:46 > 0:03:48and Great Northern poor value for passengers, with 900,000
0:03:48 > 0:03:51travellers a day suffering the worst disruption on the network.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Dom Littlewood spent the first strike day of 2018 with passengers
0:03:53 > 0:04:05on the London to Southampton train who found themselves on a bus.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09There are five train companies affected by strikes, which is why I
0:04:09 > 0:04:17am ditching the train and going on a coach. Hello, there. This coach is
0:04:17 > 0:04:20travelling from London to Southampton is an alternative to the
0:04:20 > 0:04:24train service and is a coach with a difference because there are
0:04:24 > 0:04:30questions that need answering. So to pass the time of day we are going to
0:04:30 > 0:04:35play off the rails, a quiz about the railways. Last year what percentage
0:04:35 > 0:04:51of trains were on time?95%?I think 25.That is low.90.87.7.Well
0:04:51 > 0:05:00done. 25, you don't catch a train very often. Why are you on this
0:05:00 > 0:05:04code? I just went to visit my mum in Yorkshire for Christmas and New Year
0:05:04 > 0:05:09and I am on benefits and it is cheaper than the train. Who controls
0:05:09 > 0:05:13the price increases, the government or the train operators? The
0:05:13 > 0:05:21government. The train operators. The government. Spot on. If they do not
0:05:21 > 0:05:30address this now, the prices will keep on rising. Can I ask why you
0:05:30 > 0:05:35are on the coach? We intended to go by train but there was a problem.
0:05:35 > 0:05:40How do you feel about that?A bit annoyed because I am not used to my
0:05:40 > 0:05:47plans being in disarray.When was there a first union dispute about
0:05:47 > 0:05:58driver only operation?I would say more recently, so 2007.It was
0:05:58 > 0:06:06actually 1981. That surprised me as well. Personally I love train rides,
0:06:06 > 0:06:14this is just fine. If you love train ride, why are you on the coach? We
0:06:14 > 0:06:21are a couple and wherever he goes I follow. This is tough. In the year
0:06:21 > 0:06:331900, how many tickets were sold by British rail?The first one.It is
0:06:33 > 0:06:421.1 billion.Good gracious.Last year train operators paid more money
0:06:42 > 0:06:50to the government than they received in subsidies? True or false?True.
0:06:50 > 0:06:56Troupe.Spot on. How much does a one-month season ticket from London
0:06:56 > 0:07:07to Southampton cost? 80,000? £451. How can you say AT ground? It
0:07:07 > 0:07:23probably will be soon! Some of that was tricky. Normally we are used to
0:07:23 > 0:07:30seeing you on TV in the morning. How are you enjoying this?It is
0:07:30 > 0:07:34unashamed good fun, it is completely crazy, it is over the top and it
0:07:34 > 0:07:38makes you smile in January when it is a bit miserable outside and you
0:07:38 > 0:07:45need to have a laugh. We laughed our heads of doing it, but we cried as
0:07:45 > 0:07:49well. When it comes to the end of the show there are two weddings and
0:07:49 > 0:07:57it is really emotional. I tried so much.Amongst all of the fun and
0:07:57 > 0:08:02games, at the root of this are real people and a real love story and
0:08:02 > 0:08:07they care about each other so much. And the audience is very involved
0:08:07 > 0:08:11because they are the guests you would have at your wedding.How does
0:08:11 > 0:08:18it work?There are two brides and grooms and they have got their
0:08:18 > 0:08:22family and friends and you are up against one another to win a
0:08:22 > 0:08:26fantastic honeymoon and the chance to get married and to have the
0:08:26 > 0:08:29wedding shown. But the runners up the mini honeymoon and they get
0:08:29 > 0:08:36married as well. I have been to 12 weddings and every single one is
0:08:36 > 0:08:42different and joyful and I cried at every single one. What is not to
0:08:42 > 0:08:45like about two people who love each other standing up and telling people
0:08:45 > 0:08:50they love that they want to say we love each other for the rest of our
0:08:50 > 0:08:55lives? But it is crazy as well because there are games.What is
0:08:55 > 0:09:04going on here?Everybody had a pad they sat on and bounced up and down
0:09:04 > 0:09:09and buy some jiggery-pokery and electronics they popped a massive
0:09:09 > 0:09:14champagne corks and they won a prize. Did you not do that at your
0:09:14 > 0:09:18wedding? Everybody will do it and it will catch on. It got everybody
0:09:18 > 0:09:24warmed up. Some of the girls were happy to hold on because they were
0:09:24 > 0:09:32bouncing.I noticed that.They got so competitive and they went for it.
0:09:32 > 0:09:39Did you have a favourite of the 12 weddings?To be honest I really did
0:09:39 > 0:09:43love them all, they were all amazing. The two boys who got
0:09:43 > 0:09:49married was very special. It meant so much to them. Of course it means
0:09:49 > 0:09:53so much to everybody, but for them to have their friends and family
0:09:53 > 0:09:57together and they said they thought they would never see the day. And
0:09:57 > 0:10:02their dogs came down the aisle with them, beautiful black labradors.
0:10:02 > 0:10:08They had bows and flowers on and it was joyful.In the news today they
0:10:08 > 0:10:14are talking about same-sex marriages in Australia now which is great.And
0:10:14 > 0:10:19about time as well. But it was great and that was a very special one. But
0:10:19 > 0:10:23every single wedding is special and there is something so lovely about
0:10:23 > 0:10:29these vows.It chokes me up. Everyone has their idea about what
0:10:29 > 0:10:33their dream wedding would be. What would yours be? Would you keep it
0:10:33 > 0:10:40low key or go all out?Probably a simple one, very intimate with my
0:10:40 > 0:10:44closest friends and family.You would not be jumping up and down
0:10:44 > 0:10:48dressed in a wet suit is trying to make a cake whilst on stage is going
0:10:48 > 0:10:57around?Would it be a Caribbean wedding?Probably, on a beach with a
0:10:57 > 0:11:03live band or something like that.Is it right that you wore a wig in the
0:11:03 > 0:11:12second series of Father Ted because of your wedding?Yes, it is true.
0:11:12 > 0:11:17This is a major revelation. I got married during the Christmas period.
0:11:17 > 0:11:22We shot the video inserts, so all the locations for the second series
0:11:22 > 0:11:27of Father Ted just before Christmas. Just after Christmas I got married
0:11:27 > 0:11:32and I was feeling pretty rough on the day of my wedding. My best man
0:11:32 > 0:11:36had taken me out the night before and I went to a barber and I got my
0:11:36 > 0:11:41hair cut. I went back into the studio, two weeks after filming, and
0:11:41 > 0:11:46we are back in the studio to shoot the whole series but I had no here,
0:11:46 > 0:11:52so they had to make a special week at very short notice. I was
0:11:52 > 0:12:02unrecognisable.I was feeling rough and I went and I shaved off all my
0:12:02 > 0:12:09hair?!I remember the look of horror when I went back into the studio and
0:12:09 > 0:12:14we were filming for eight weeks and it didn't match. It could not have
0:12:14 > 0:12:18been more different. They had to manufacture a wig at very short
0:12:18 > 0:12:24notice and it was the budget for the second series! During the entire
0:12:24 > 0:12:30second series it is a wig to match my own hair.We are now joined by
0:12:30 > 0:12:35somebody who you know very well. She is part of the programme, registrar
0:12:35 > 0:12:41Kate Tremain, who will be helping us tonight. A lot of people are
0:12:41 > 0:12:44renewing their wedding vows. More and more people are doing this, why
0:12:44 > 0:12:50do you think it is a trend?It is hard to put your finger on it, but
0:12:50 > 0:12:56it is a jolly good excuse for a party.It is all about the knees up.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00Yes, and you can invite your best man and your bridesmaids back ten
0:13:00 > 0:13:05years on, it is a wonderful record to have.Is it a legally binding
0:13:05 > 0:13:12ceremony?No, not in the same way as signing in the register, but vows
0:13:12 > 0:13:16are binding in as much as they are things that you say to each other
0:13:16 > 0:13:20that mean something to you and they are repeat of the vows that you made
0:13:20 > 0:13:25to your wedding is a good commitment.As we will see very
0:13:25 > 0:13:30shortly, these vows are very personal and they mean so much.They
0:13:30 > 0:13:33are, absolutely.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36It's time to meet our first couple, Carol and Rohan, who will be
0:13:36 > 0:13:37renewing their wedding vows shortly.
0:13:37 > 0:13:42Here's your story.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45We met in our hometown in Paignton in Devon whilst out walking and we
0:13:45 > 0:13:52just started chatting to each other. We arranged to go on a date.We will
0:13:52 > 0:13:57have been married ten years in August. We thought about renewing
0:13:57 > 0:14:01our vows on our ten year anniversary.To have all our family
0:14:01 > 0:14:06and friends with us.I lost my dad about ten or 11 weeks ago and he
0:14:06 > 0:14:20would have enjoyed it.So very much missed.
0:14:20 > 0:14:25Louise and Aidan, you met on this very day 14 years ago and you are
0:14:25 > 0:14:29here to celebrate ten years of marriage together. When you married
0:14:29 > 0:14:36you promised to care for each other and share your lives. Today, you are
0:14:36 > 0:14:41going to demonstrate your continuing love for one another and renew the
0:14:41 > 0:14:46vows you made. Louise and Aidan, please, would you like to join
0:14:46 > 0:14:52hands? Tell us your vows and we will start with you, Louise.Aidan, I
0:14:52 > 0:14:57will love and care for you always, whatever our life brings, I know we
0:14:57 > 0:15:01will always be happy. You will always be by my side, making me
0:15:01 > 0:15:06smile and making me laugh. I will love you for evermore.Lovely, aid
0:15:06 > 0:15:12and it is your turn.Louise, you are my falling star come you fell from
0:15:12 > 0:15:17the heaven and stole my heart. You made me the man I am today and I
0:15:17 > 0:15:22thank God I am privileged enough to be ready. You are my world and I
0:15:22 > 0:15:28would have married you every day. Gosh, thank you. Aidan, Louise made
0:15:28 > 0:15:34the love that joins your heart never fail but grew deeper and stronger
0:15:34 > 0:15:38with every passing year. You have now made a very public pledge to
0:15:38 > 0:15:44your continuing commitment to each other. So very big congratulations.
0:15:44 > 0:15:54Thank you. APPLAUSE
0:15:57 > 0:16:02Needed tissue, are you all right? If you have been watching BBC One over
0:16:02 > 0:16:07the past few days you may have seen this trailer for a documentary
0:16:07 > 0:16:11featuring Her Majesty the Queen sharing memories of her coronation
0:16:11 > 0:16:17and explaining the symbolic meaning of the Crown Jewels?I have seen one
0:16:17 > 0:16:23coronation and been the recipient in the other.Dan will be here in a
0:16:23 > 0:16:31moment after Ruth reveals the role the Royal made daily-macro mail
0:16:31 > 0:16:34played in bringing the diamonds to London.
0:16:34 > 0:16:39A South African spotted something what looked like a shard of glass.
0:16:39 > 0:16:47He dug out a rough gemstone. It was the biggest diamond ever found. They
0:16:47 > 0:16:55called it after the minor who sold it to the local Transvaal government
0:16:55 > 0:17:01for £150,000, which in today's money is 16.8 million. It is believed the
0:17:01 > 0:17:06miner who found it was paid enough money to buy a herd of cattle. The
0:17:06 > 0:17:11Transvaal government gave the diamond to King Edward VII as a
0:17:11 > 0:17:16birthday present, a goodwill gesture after the ball war. And that is when
0:17:16 > 0:17:19the challengers began. The rough diamond had to travel over 8000
0:17:19 > 0:17:25miles from South Africa to London without being stolen. Jeffrey has
0:17:25 > 0:17:31the details and a replica diamond. Moving valuable things around
0:17:31 > 0:17:37requires all kind of stratagems and the decoy is the best.How did they
0:17:37 > 0:17:42move it?They gave the impression the diamond was to move by the sea
0:17:42 > 0:17:47and in the Captain's safe on-board and all the focus and public
0:17:47 > 0:17:53attention was going there, if anybody knew about it. The diamond
0:17:53 > 0:18:00was popped into the registered post in England.The ordinary post,
0:18:00 > 0:18:05albeit register.Maybe people were cheering on their nails anticipating
0:18:05 > 0:18:09its arrival.It gets back to England in the post, what happened to it
0:18:09 > 0:18:13then?It gets shown to the king and the job is to convert it into
0:18:13 > 0:18:20something more beautiful.Two years earlier, the world's second biggest
0:18:20 > 0:18:25diamond had been cut, and he was chosen to cut this one, but he was
0:18:25 > 0:18:31based in Amsterdam. One of the decoy was based on two and naval ship to
0:18:31 > 0:18:35Holland well the real one was in a pocket. Cutting such a precious
0:18:35 > 0:18:43gemstone, that was going to require great skill and accuracy. They have
0:18:43 > 0:18:47been cutting gems since 1890 and they will show us how it is done.
0:18:47 > 0:18:52This is a rough diamond.Perfectly formed crystal. Stuart Beckley
0:18:52 > 0:18:57studies the diamond to see how best to use it. Using a modern 3-D
0:18:57 > 0:19:02scanner, you can check for any imperfections in the diamond and see
0:19:02 > 0:19:06a visual representation of how it should look when it is finished.
0:19:06 > 0:19:12Next, we are shown how the diamond is gently sawn to the correct size.
0:19:12 > 0:19:20Would this have been how the other diamond was cut?No, they had to
0:19:20 > 0:19:24find the grain of the diamond and they would hit it very hard.What if
0:19:24 > 0:19:31it broke the wrong way?Then you are in trouble.Without modern
0:19:31 > 0:19:35equipment, the diamond cutter's skill was key in cutting one of the
0:19:35 > 0:19:41hardest substances on earth. His first blow broke his steel blade,
0:19:41 > 0:19:46rather than the diamond but his next attempt was successful. The stone
0:19:46 > 0:19:53was then faceted and polished over nine months. Clive does this with a
0:19:53 > 0:19:55spinning diamond encrusted grindstone.This is where we are
0:19:55 > 0:19:59getting the maximum life out of the diamond and this is what makes it
0:19:59 > 0:20:09sparkle and look pretty. Now you can see all the lustre.Gosh. The
0:20:09 > 0:20:14diamond was cleaved into nine major stones and 96 smaller fragments.
0:20:14 > 0:20:20This is a replica of the largest stone which is called The Star Of
0:20:20 > 0:20:26Africa. This is the second one, it is in the front of the Imperial
0:20:26 > 0:20:30State Crown, worn by the Queen at the State Opening of Parliament. And
0:20:30 > 0:20:36this was used at her coronation. Two more stones were brought out and be
0:20:36 > 0:20:39replicas here. The Queen wears them because she inherited them from
0:20:39 > 0:20:45Queen Mary and they are called Granny's chips.They don't look like
0:20:45 > 0:20:52my chips. The diamonds are now kept in a tower of London, 8000 miles
0:20:52 > 0:20:57away from where the original stone was discovered. I wonder if the
0:20:57 > 0:21:02minor who plucked the diamond out of the rock, had any idea how many
0:21:02 > 0:21:07stories and myths would grow up around it? One thing is certain, the
0:21:07 > 0:21:15diamond will be a lot around a lot longer than of us. Am amazed that
0:21:15 > 0:21:19diamond made it to the post but is not the only one that's gone through
0:21:19 > 0:21:24the Royal system?There is another diamond but it went through the
0:21:24 > 0:21:32American system. The Hope Diamond. Look at the blue, it is rare. It
0:21:32 > 0:21:39will go very nicely with your dress. Ask if you can borrow it. It was
0:21:39 > 0:21:45owned by Louis XVI when he had his head chopped off in the French
0:21:45 > 0:21:51Revolution. It was stolen them popped in the post the $2 from New
0:21:51 > 0:21:55York to Washington. $140 for insurance and arrived at the
0:21:55 > 0:22:01Smithsonian, where it has been ever since.And we heard about part of
0:22:01 > 0:22:08that other diamond in the Queen's crime. How many diamonds are in the
0:22:08 > 0:22:12collection?140 objects in the crown jewels. My favourite story, there
0:22:12 > 0:22:18would be a lot more if King John hadn't lost them in the wash. Just
0:22:18 > 0:22:22before his death, he has distantly, his empire has collapsed, the French
0:22:22 > 0:22:26have invaded, he goes across the watch, the tide comes in and he
0:22:26 > 0:22:32loses the Crown Jewels. Medieval, lots of them lost. My dream is to
0:22:32 > 0:22:38find them in the ocean.I am coming with you.There has been a new
0:22:38 > 0:22:43collection since then?Yes, they had to get new Crown Jewels. Guess how
0:22:43 > 0:22:48many gemstones there are in the Crown Jewels?Are there for?Just a
0:22:48 > 0:22:58guess.Go higher than that. 140. More than that.A lot more than
0:22:58 > 0:23:12that.Go big. 500. 23,500 gems in the Crown Jewels. Amazing. In fact,
0:23:12 > 0:23:24I have got...The real thing!This is not the real thing. This is the
0:23:24 > 0:23:32replica used in the TV show, The Crown.There are a few of the
0:23:32 > 0:23:39Queen's favourites?Yes, the one we have just seen and this is the
0:23:39 > 0:23:47Queen's favourite, the Prince's Ruby. It is a spindle, but it is
0:23:47 > 0:23:52like a Ruby, still very precious. It was given to the Black Prince, one
0:23:52 > 0:23:55of the great warriors in British history by a Spanish king that was
0:23:55 > 0:24:00fighting his brother for the Crown and the Black Prince helped him
0:24:00 > 0:24:03defeat is brother. Then it belonged to the Royal family, Henry V wore
0:24:03 > 0:24:14it. Apparently a French axe hit it and got knocked off. That is the
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Queen's favourite part of the Crown which she wears at the opening of
0:24:16 > 0:24:28Parliament.What is the father?Just fur around the edge. All them
0:24:28 > 0:24:37precious diamonds and you have asked me about the fur. This is a saint
0:24:37 > 0:24:42Edward Safire. This is allegedly, 1000 years old. It is allegedly
0:24:42 > 0:24:48Edward the confessor, the king that received a sainthood. That is very
0:24:48 > 0:24:53old, if it is true, which I am sure it is. Then we have the Stuart.
0:24:53 > 0:25:02Let's turn it around.That is massive.James II took that with him
0:25:02 > 0:25:07when he escaped in 1688 when he was kicked off the throne. His
0:25:07 > 0:25:15son-in-law and nephew invaded England, and he took that as an
0:25:15 > 0:25:22insurance policy as he was leaving. The pearls are hanging down?Be a
0:25:22 > 0:25:27lovely and they apparently belonged to Queen Elizabeth. She wore them
0:25:27 > 0:25:31has England but she wore them in their hair and on her clothes. We
0:25:31 > 0:25:36love history. This is it.Thank you so much and there is a special
0:25:36 > 0:25:40series of programmes, part of the Royal collection season on the BBC
0:25:40 > 0:25:44starting with the coronation on Sunday at 8pm on BBC One. This is a
0:25:44 > 0:25:48special thing for the Queen to be involved in?I have never seen the
0:25:48 > 0:25:53Queen speak like that about her memories so it is a special and
0:25:53 > 0:25:58historical record in its own right. Make sure you leave back round
0:25:58 > 0:26:03behind, don't go sneaking it out.It will go with anything.Good luck
0:26:03 > 0:26:10with your digging in Norfolk. In honour of the rain's BBC One
0:26:10 > 0:26:13programme, we are renewing vows.
0:26:13 > 0:26:23Carol and Rohan are here today to renew the vows they made to each
0:26:24 > 0:26:30We met at a nightclub. And then we arranged to meet and I stood him up.
0:26:30 > 0:26:35We have been married for 30 years in August.We said every ten years we
0:26:35 > 0:26:41would renew our vows. We went to Vegas, and we said we couldn't go to
0:26:41 > 0:26:46Vegas without meeting Elvis. We tell each other we love each other every
0:26:46 > 0:26:56day, so why not do it in front of everybody.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00Carol and Rohan, as you start a new phase in your life together,
0:27:04 > 0:27:09You celebrate your continued commitment to each other and
0:27:09 > 0:27:14together you have experienced joys and sorrows. Have shared tears and
0:27:14 > 0:27:21laughter and have given each of comfort and support. Carol and
0:27:21 > 0:27:25Rohan, you are very welcome to hold hands if you like. As you join hands
0:27:25 > 0:27:32I will offer you the floor first to read your vows.I have stolen my
0:27:32 > 0:27:37words from Queen, but I will not sing them to, I will not even try to
0:27:37 > 0:27:41form the tune. You are the best friend I have ever had. I have been
0:27:41 > 0:27:47with you such a long time. You are my sunshine and I want you to know
0:27:47 > 0:27:51that my feelings are true. I really love you. You are my best friend,
0:27:51 > 0:28:01you make me live.Lovely, thank you very much. Are you ready.When we
0:28:01 > 0:28:04married 30 years ago I said I would love you for ever. Nothing has
0:28:04 > 0:28:08stopped me from feeling the same today as I did then and I hope you
0:28:08 > 0:28:13feel the same. I will love you always and still we have a groovy
0:28:13 > 0:28:15kind of love and you are still my best friend.
0:28:15 > 0:28:27APPLAUSE I was just going to say
0:28:27 > 0:28:31congratulations on the affirmation of your love. Well done.
0:28:31 > 0:28:37You could have warned the Crown, Carol. That was magic, thank you
0:28:37 > 0:28:45both very much. Very brave.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48We have sent somebody new to the UK to learn about our British cultures
0:28:48 > 0:28:56and values. My name is Hassan and two years ago
0:28:56 > 0:29:01I risked my life in an overcrowded dinghy to flee the war in Syria. I
0:29:01 > 0:29:06now call the UK my home but I have only experienced London and still I
0:29:06 > 0:29:10have a lot to learn about this country's culture. Pantomime, what
0:29:10 > 0:29:19is that?Men dressed up as women... Its values.They say traditional
0:29:19 > 0:29:22British values of fairness and justice, but that is not always the
0:29:22 > 0:29:28case.And what life is like the people here.What is it like?Very
0:29:28 > 0:29:33depressing, no work. I have taken my camera on the road and The one Show
0:29:33 > 0:29:37have sent me to the seaside in the middle of winter to a place called
0:29:37 > 0:29:47Lowestoft. It is absolutely freezing. I need to get some
0:29:47 > 0:29:55breakfast. Morning. You all right? I would love a cup of Coffey. And an
0:29:55 > 0:30:03egg roll. OK?This is the most easterly point of Great Britain.How
0:30:03 > 0:30:12is the fishing industry?In the old days, going out for the herring and
0:30:12 > 0:30:17you could walk from one side to the other but now it is down to 12 or 13
0:30:17 > 0:30:23fishing boats in the whole fleet. Have you got brown sauce?We have
0:30:23 > 0:30:28brown sauce.I had never heard of brown sauce until I came to this
0:30:28 > 0:30:32country. Stunning. I have heard reports of people like me not being
0:30:32 > 0:30:36made welcome in places like this. Although I am an outsider, people
0:30:36 > 0:30:40are happy to chat, even in the freezing cold. The beach is
0:30:40 > 0:30:47beautiful. Are you happy?Yes, very happy. Not a lot of the children to
0:30:47 > 0:30:52do around here.When your children grow up, will you encourage them to
0:30:52 > 0:30:59leave?I will encourage them, but I like living here.My parents are in
0:30:59 > 0:31:03Syria and my brother is in Iraq and we miss that time, it is the best
0:31:03 > 0:31:13times. Really good to meet you.
0:31:13 > 0:31:17Seems like there is a community centre here. The 60 plus club. It
0:31:17 > 0:31:32looks very interesting.136.That is really cute. When I walked in I saw
0:31:32 > 0:31:38you guys playing something.This is our Christmas raffle today.We do
0:31:38 > 0:31:47not have this where I come from.We raise money. Four tickets for £1.
0:31:47 > 0:31:51They are quite cheap! I am about to try this for the first time, so wish
0:31:51 > 0:32:08me luck. And that is 32.No, sorry. No, sorry. 200.Hurray. I will leave
0:32:08 > 0:32:15with something from Lowestoft. Lowestoft is not an easy place to
0:32:15 > 0:32:19get to. You do not pass through it on a journey elsewhere. You have got
0:32:19 > 0:32:28to want to be here and a lot of the people I have met really do. Hello.
0:32:28 > 0:32:39What restaurant is this? Indian, great. Indian is quite big.It is
0:32:39 > 0:32:45like an English cuisine now.Where are you from?Bangladesh.Have you
0:32:45 > 0:32:53been here for a while?For many years.Does it feel like home?I
0:32:53 > 0:32:58feel British like everyone else, but my roots are in Bangladesh and it
0:32:58 > 0:33:02feels like a special place.I can relate to that because Syria and
0:33:02 > 0:33:07Damascus is a special place for me, but now I am building my life here
0:33:07 > 0:33:14and it feels like home. Cheers. Hello, guys. I am from Syria. Is
0:33:14 > 0:33:22that OK? That is great. Some fellow out-of-towners have asked me to join
0:33:22 > 0:33:28them for dinner. Pleased to meet you. Cheers, guys. The town is on
0:33:28 > 0:33:34the edge of Britain at the seaside, what is so special about them?They
0:33:34 > 0:33:38are normally run down. Nobody goes to the British seaside for holidays
0:33:38 > 0:33:42these days. It is probably cheaper for a family in Manchester to go to
0:33:42 > 0:33:49Spain.Whether they are visitors like us who call Lowestoft home, I
0:33:49 > 0:33:54have asked pretty much everyone here about British values and no one
0:33:54 > 0:33:59seemed to give me a clear answer. However, people gave me a warm
0:33:59 > 0:34:04welcome and they did not care where I came from. From my experience
0:34:04 > 0:34:06these are what the British values are.
0:34:06 > 0:34:14From Syria to Lowestoft is very much a journey.I am looking forward to
0:34:14 > 0:34:20seeing more of that.As a French national, what would you say is the
0:34:20 > 0:34:25strangest thing culturally that you have experience?During series six
0:34:25 > 0:34:31we came to London to fill a few episodes and I experienced something
0:34:31 > 0:34:38called pork scratchings. It is horrible. What is it? And the beer,
0:34:38 > 0:34:45the Guinness. I don't drink alcohol and I have a glass of champagne
0:34:45 > 0:34:51sometimes.It is very bitter.During the seen my character drinks beer.
0:34:51 > 0:35:01And she goes yuck. I was not acting. You don't drink it? No, not really.
0:35:01 > 0:35:07Do you promise to tell the truth? Is it right that you told somebody in
0:35:07 > 0:35:12an interview that you did a musical with Frank Sinatra to see what would
0:35:12 > 0:35:16happen M it is true.I felt the interviewer was not paying much
0:35:16 > 0:35:26attention to my answers, so I threw in this.It was not me.No, it was
0:35:26 > 0:35:31not Lorraine. She asked me what I was doing and what my last job was
0:35:31 > 0:35:36and I said I was in a musical in Las Vegas with Frank Sinatra, and her
0:35:36 > 0:35:43years picked up. She said, oh, really? And then I said I was in a
0:35:43 > 0:35:53camel and he played the years.Give us your best poker face.That
0:35:53 > 0:36:00features in the next episode. You have spent five months out there
0:36:00 > 0:36:02filming the new series, how has he fitted into life in the Caribbean as
0:36:02 > 0:36:09a detective?Pretty good. He knows it. He is a real actor. I know what
0:36:09 > 0:36:15it is like to be the new guy in a show because I arrived in series
0:36:15 > 0:36:20four so we did our best to make him feel comfortable. I think he did a
0:36:20 > 0:36:25great job. It was not easy for you because in the last series you had
0:36:25 > 0:36:33to understand your character.You were involved in two episodes?There
0:36:33 > 0:36:37was a little handover in the second half of last series and we had a
0:36:37 > 0:36:42transition period where Chris's character was leaving, he fell in
0:36:42 > 0:36:47love, and then I joined in. I suppose it was easier this year to
0:36:47 > 0:36:52start from scratch in the series we have just done.We can see how you
0:36:52 > 0:36:56are settling in in tomorrow's episode.Some point during the final
0:36:56 > 0:37:01hour killer was able to get the froggy poison onto this card with
0:37:01 > 0:37:08anybody seeing. How is that possible?They play for 90 minutes,
0:37:08 > 0:37:12the debt was shovelled, the cards pass from player to player, hand to
0:37:12 > 0:37:18hand, so how come no one else was poisoned?Was it definitely meant
0:37:18 > 0:37:24for Bobby alone?We have to assume. Why was he the only one who died?
0:37:24 > 0:37:28How can our killer know that this exact card, the ace of spades, would
0:37:28 > 0:37:34wind up in Bobby's and?It has got a poker storyline been going through
0:37:34 > 0:37:40it. You are quite a good poker player yourself. Did you chat with
0:37:40 > 0:37:48the producers?Not really. It is a great episode I have to say. A big
0:37:48 > 0:37:52international poker tournament comes to the island and one of the players
0:37:52 > 0:37:57died at the table. How did it happen? I did play poker all right I
0:37:57 > 0:38:03was younger. I used to spend a lot and I got the name, the nickname,
0:38:03 > 0:38:09pockets O Hanlon. I used to leave the table with my pockets full. But
0:38:09 > 0:38:16I used to love poker, so I was into this episode.I enjoyed the first
0:38:16 > 0:38:21episode. I did not get it. I will not say anything in case anyone has
0:38:21 > 0:38:25not seen it. As far as life is concerned out there and the filming,
0:38:25 > 0:38:31how does it fit into your normal life? Where do you live normally? I
0:38:31 > 0:38:38live in Paris. How long do you go over there for?It is five months.
0:38:38 > 0:38:43It is a long time, do your family visit?My family came over to visit
0:38:43 > 0:38:48for two months. It is a very long time, so it is good to have people
0:38:48 > 0:38:55there.It is a great opportunity to experience a different lifestyle and
0:38:55 > 0:38:59it is a great privilege for the families to be able to join in. We
0:38:59 > 0:39:03should during the summer so during the holidays my teenagers can come
0:39:03 > 0:39:07out and my wife and they have a great time and they get to know the
0:39:07 > 0:39:11place. It is a different pace of life for them and it is all outdoors
0:39:11 > 0:39:17and it is great.Would you ever fancy a part in this, Lorraine?It
0:39:17 > 0:39:25sounds fantastic. This is you as a detective. That was hilarious, that
0:39:25 > 0:39:30was great fun. Yes, I would love that. Can you put a word in? But
0:39:30 > 0:39:37everybody is clamouring to be on it. There are so many guest actors.
0:39:37 > 0:39:45Jennifer Lawrence next week!And Nigel Planer?Yes, he is in this
0:39:45 > 0:39:49episode and he plays one of the poker players. A genuine hero of
0:39:49 > 0:39:55mine. That was the show more than anything that inspired me to get
0:39:55 > 0:40:00into comedy when I was a teenager. I was glued to it on television. To
0:40:00 > 0:40:06meet him was great and to work with him is doubly brilliant.We will
0:40:06 > 0:40:10talk more about the Caribbean and hopefully we can go live there
0:40:10 > 0:40:17shortly. You were there during the hurricane season. What was it like
0:40:17 > 0:40:23when the weather was like during filming for you guys?A few weeks
0:40:23 > 0:40:30before the hurricane arrived it was very hot, more than it normally is.
0:40:30 > 0:40:35And it was a bit scary of course, but the production handled it very
0:40:35 > 0:40:43well. We had what sap group and sent messages to each other to make sure
0:40:43 > 0:40:46everybody was OK. We started filming in the morning and then the police
0:40:46 > 0:40:54came on the set and said we had to stop and go home. That was at your
0:40:54 > 0:40:58place? So we came back to our villas and waited until the next day.It
0:40:58 > 0:41:03was a very long night. It is the uncertainty. You do not know what
0:41:03 > 0:41:07you will face the next morning and whether you will have water or
0:41:07 > 0:41:14electricity. Or whether you will have food. So you are not quite sure
0:41:14 > 0:41:19and you have a long and dark night of the soul because it puts it into
0:41:19 > 0:41:23perspective. We are just making a TV show, but for people living in the
0:41:23 > 0:41:28Caribbean they live there all the time and it is something they have
0:41:28 > 0:41:32to contend with once in a generation.Hopefully we are about
0:41:32 > 0:41:37to go live to the Caribbean to the neighbouring island.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40Death in Paradise is filmed on the Caribbean island
0:41:40 > 0:41:42of Guadeloupe, which along with much of the Caribbean, was ravaged
0:41:42 > 0:41:45by hurricanes Irma and Maria towards the end of last year.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48In the aftermath, Angellica brought us a series of films from Dominica.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50So we thought we'd revisit the island to see how
0:41:50 > 0:41:51they're getting on in 2018.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53We have Emerline Anselm on the line.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55She's a local school teacher on the island.
0:41:55 > 0:41:59Thank you so much for joining us. Tell us first of all how everyone
0:41:59 > 0:42:05was affected by hurricane Maria. Hurricane Maria devastated Dominic
0:42:05 > 0:42:11Raab. It left most homes without a roof. It left the island turned
0:42:11 > 0:42:19upside down. It left most schools without a roof, the police station
0:42:19 > 0:42:23destroyed, churches destroyed. There was no water on the island,
0:42:23 > 0:42:29absolutely no connection could be made with the outside world. There
0:42:29 > 0:42:34was no electricity, we were devastated by hurricane Maria.How
0:42:34 > 0:42:40did you react to that? What did you do to help out other islanders?When
0:42:40 > 0:42:44I woke up the next morning I was speechless, I could not believe it
0:42:44 > 0:42:49was Dominic Raab. I could not believe that Maria did this to my
0:42:49 > 0:42:55beautiful island. The place looked so pale, all the greenery was gone.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58Then I decided to take to the streets and I went from village to
0:42:58 > 0:43:03village and try to make connection with relatives and friends near and
0:43:03 > 0:43:07far. I went to villagers, I took names, contacts and numbers and
0:43:07 > 0:43:12output messages onto my notepad and I put it on Facebook so that family
0:43:12 > 0:43:18members would know it was OK.That was amazing work. How is life now?
0:43:18 > 0:43:23Are things turning back to normal? There is some sense of normality.
0:43:23 > 0:43:31Schools have opened. There were 200 passengers who came to the island a
0:43:31 > 0:43:38couple of weeks ago. We have communication back. We have water in
0:43:38 > 0:43:43most villages in Dominic Raab. And also the road network is much
0:43:43 > 0:43:50better.We are here with the actors who have been filming on the
0:43:50 > 0:43:56neighbouring island of yours. They just said how beautiful the island
0:43:56 > 0:44:02was.We had a week off in the middle of the summer and myself and my
0:44:02 > 0:44:07family visited your island and I have to say it was the most magical
0:44:07 > 0:44:13place I have ever visited in my life. It is so unspoiled and the
0:44:13 > 0:44:17people are so independent and wonderful and self-sufficient. When
0:44:17 > 0:44:21the hurricane hit we were so devastated. I would like to ask is
0:44:21 > 0:44:27it open for tourism again? Are people welcome and wanted?People
0:44:27 > 0:44:31are welcome. Now they are clearing the site and the trails and they are
0:44:31 > 0:44:39fixing up different areas. You can calm biplane and boat and visit the
0:44:39 > 0:44:44island. Now the green is coming back and it is still beautiful.Thank you
0:44:44 > 0:44:49so much. Thank you so much for your time and all the very best with all
0:44:49 > 0:44:54the work you are doing and send our love to everybody out there.
0:44:54 > 0:44:57We've been on board all week with Mike, who's been braving
0:44:57 > 0:44:58the elements around our islands.
0:44:58 > 0:45:00He's searching for the giants of the sea - whales.
0:45:00 > 0:45:03Tonight his journey takes him to the Minches, the area
0:45:03 > 0:45:13between the outer Hebrides and north Scotland where he's in for a treat.
0:45:17 > 0:45:22I am two weeks into an epic three-week journey, passing through
0:45:22 > 0:45:28some of the richest marine life areas in British and Irish waters.
0:45:28 > 0:45:33Aboard the Celtic Explorer I am with a world-class team of oceanographers
0:45:33 > 0:45:37as they use cutting-edge technology to assess the abundance and
0:45:37 > 0:45:41distribution of life within our oceans. Along the way, my mission is
0:45:41 > 0:45:46to find and film marine life that would normally be out of reach. We
0:45:46 > 0:45:58are watching seven or eight dolphins.
0:46:00 > 0:46:06The main objective of the survey is to assess the abundance of fish such
0:46:06 > 0:46:11as herring, horse mackerel and others. Assessing all levels of the
0:46:11 > 0:46:15marine ecosystem is hugely important. Starting at the bottom
0:46:15 > 0:46:23involves some unique equipment. This high-speed machine is a remotely
0:46:23 > 0:46:30operated device that incorporates a fine net to catch plankton.
0:46:30 > 0:46:35Basically, this high-speed sampler is towed off the back of the boat.
0:46:35 > 0:46:41Really, it is a plankton net inside a steel torpedo. I am manually
0:46:41 > 0:46:45controlling the Sam Powell right now.You are fishing for plankton?
0:46:45 > 0:46:54That is the main game of the sampler.Small things matter?They
0:46:54 > 0:47:03play such a huge part of the marine system on a global scale.A vital
0:47:03 > 0:47:09step in the food chain, plankton consists of tiny animals like
0:47:09 > 0:47:20crustaceans, fish larvae and jellyfish. That is see soup.It is
0:47:20 > 0:47:28full of plankton. They are the base of the marine food chain. They feed
0:47:28 > 0:47:35of fish and the fish feed larger whales, sharks and dolphins.The
0:47:35 > 0:47:40only way to truly appreciate these ecosystem energy providers is
0:47:40 > 0:47:48through the microscope. That is absolutely beautiful. What is it?
0:47:48 > 0:47:52This is called Asego Jewsbury. It is different from other jellyfish
0:47:52 > 0:47:56because of these lines. They move together in unison to help it move
0:47:56 > 0:48:02in the water.It is only when you look through the microscope that you
0:48:02 > 0:48:08realise they are miniature works of art?Absolutely, the diversity and
0:48:08 > 0:48:12complex a TUC in these plankton is overlooked a lot of the time. And if
0:48:12 > 0:48:17you take plankton out of the picture, you have nothing else. You
0:48:17 > 0:48:21don't get fish, you don't get any higher organisms that we love and
0:48:21 > 0:48:29hold dear.Plankton feed quail and then they feed bailing Wales. Which
0:48:29 > 0:48:34is what I hope to see. After a few days with no sightings, the weather
0:48:34 > 0:48:41is looking good for spotting. We've just come round the butt of Lewis,
0:48:41 > 0:48:47so we are in between the outer Hebrides and North Scotland. An area
0:48:47 > 0:48:50brilliant for whales and dolphins and the conditions are perfect. It's
0:48:50 > 0:48:57not long before... There it is. I saw the snout. Beautiful Axel we
0:48:57 > 0:49:05spot Menke Wales. Menke Wales can grow up to ten metres in length and
0:49:05 > 0:49:13weigh in at nine tonnes. Twice as heavy as an elephant. It is really
0:49:13 > 0:49:19close to the boat. Like all filter feeding whales it has two blowhole
0:49:19 > 0:49:24is to maximise the oxygen needed to support its huge body. Personality,
0:49:24 > 0:49:31it is an introverted whale and incredibly difficult to get on film.
0:49:31 > 0:49:36Despite being one of the smallest filter feeding whales, they can
0:49:36 > 0:49:41consume 300 kilograms of food a day. Finding the Menke Wales is an
0:49:41 > 0:49:45incredible experience but I will have to go deeper if I want to find
0:49:45 > 0:49:50the real giants.
0:49:50 > 0:49:55Lorraine, you were lost in that.I was, I have been lucky to see Menke
0:49:55 > 0:50:02Wales and Scotland and I have been to Antarctica. I would go back
0:50:02 > 0:50:08tomorrow.It is a very special thing to experience.It makes you feel
0:50:08 > 0:50:12very small, that is a good thing. Was that part of your wedding
0:50:12 > 0:50:18anniversary?It was, we were married the 25 years and we went to
0:50:18 > 0:50:21Antarctica. We followed Ernie Shackleton's journey and it was
0:50:21 > 0:50:28incredible.What a cool thing to do for your anniversary.Luckily my
0:50:28 > 0:50:33husband shares my passions, or that would not have worked out.Which
0:50:33 > 0:50:36leads is beautifully done for the couple theme.
0:50:36 > 0:50:38Time to meet our third and final couple Valerie and Mark
0:50:38 > 0:50:41who are going to renew their vows.
0:50:41 > 0:50:49We met in a single club. We have been married 20 years.We had
0:50:49 > 0:50:54arranged to renew our vows last year on our 20th anniversary.We had an
0:50:54 > 0:51:01accident in Dubai. I was off work for several weeks. Without Valerie's
0:51:01 > 0:51:04support, I don't think I would have got through it. I would like to
0:51:04 > 0:51:11thank my son Ian, my boss who has given us the day off to come here
0:51:11 > 0:51:17today. Thank you very much, Ian. No doubt Ian will be watching. Kate,
0:51:17 > 0:51:20it is over to you.
0:51:20 > 0:51:23Valerie and Mark are here today to renew the vows which they made
0:51:23 > 0:51:26to each other when they married 20 years ago.
0:51:26 > 0:51:28Over those 20 years their marriage has grown richer, today
0:51:28 > 0:51:32they demonstrate their continued commitment to one another.
0:51:32 > 0:51:40Valerie and Mark please join hands and share your vows.
0:51:40 > 0:51:44Valerie, is it OK if we start with you?
0:51:44 > 0:51:47Mark, I love you because you made me smile, when I almost forgot how to.
0:51:47 > 0:51:50I feel everything in life has led us to this...
0:51:50 > 0:51:51Choices, regrets, heartbreak...
0:51:51 > 0:51:53We've fought hard to overcome so many obstacles,
0:51:53 > 0:51:55but always together.
0:51:55 > 0:51:57A strong marriage doesn't always have two strong
0:51:57 > 0:52:00people at the same time.
0:52:00 > 0:52:03As we we know, it's a husband and wife who take turns being strong
0:52:03 > 0:52:06when the other feels weak.
0:52:06 > 0:52:09I look back over our life together, the houses we've had,
0:52:09 > 0:52:11the cars we've drove, the things we own that really
0:52:11 > 0:52:12don't matter at all.
0:52:12 > 0:52:15What matters more than anything, is our family, and that I've got
0:52:15 > 0:52:23you and you've got me.
0:52:23 > 0:52:30Well done. Are you ready, Mark? Valerie, you have been my friend, a
0:52:30 > 0:52:38wonderful wife. Which I cherish so very much. I will be forever
0:52:38 > 0:52:44grateful for the years we have been together and hopefully, spend many
0:52:44 > 0:52:48more years together. Thank you, I love you.
0:52:48 > 0:52:50May your hands be forever clasped in friendship
0:52:50 > 0:52:52and your hearts be joined in love.
0:52:52 > 0:52:54May your life continue to be full of kindness and understanding,
0:52:54 > 0:52:57thoughtfulness and joy.
0:52:57 > 0:53:07You have renewed your vows, congratulations to the both of you.
0:53:08 > 0:53:20There isn't a dry eye in the house. APPLAUSE
0:53:21 > 0:53:33Congratulations. Thank you both very much indeed.
0:53:34 > 0:53:47We have are going somewhere now that is thanks to our industrial past. At
0:53:47 > 0:53:55the height of the mining boom, Wales was one of the largest coaling
0:53:55 > 0:53:58countries in the world. These black diamonds have
0:53:58 > 0:54:02fundamentally change the way people live around here. There's virtually
0:54:02 > 0:54:06nothing left of mining any more in these valleys but it has left an
0:54:06 > 0:54:17indelible mark the landscape. Dockyards, stately homes, even
0:54:17 > 0:54:21entire villages owed their existence to Cole, ripped from the Earth and
0:54:21 > 0:54:27the valleys are littered with what mining left behind but the most
0:54:27 > 0:54:31inescapable reminders are slack heaps, massive man-made hills, built
0:54:31 > 0:54:36from the waste product of mining. Not so long ago, slack heaps was
0:54:36 > 0:54:41seen as nothing more than a dirty blot on the landscape or a
0:54:41 > 0:54:45dangerously menace, at worst. But today, there are people who actually
0:54:45 > 0:54:52like them. Leah is an entomologist who studies insects on slack heaps.
0:54:52 > 0:54:57One of his favourite locations is this tip in south Wales. Lee, it is
0:54:57 > 0:55:03unbelievable looking at this place, how fast it is.It is a fantastic
0:55:03 > 0:55:09habitat.You can see fresh water down there, wetlands and then you
0:55:09 > 0:55:14have this almost lunar like expanse in front of us. We couldn't design
0:55:14 > 0:55:18it better?You couldn't, and we will never get anything like this again.
0:55:18 > 0:55:26It is unique in the way it has been tipped. Nothing like it anywhere in
0:55:26 > 0:55:28the British Isles, so fantastic for invertebrates, butterflies,
0:55:28 > 0:55:35bumblebees, dragonflies.It brings it into perspective how much they
0:55:35 > 0:55:45did mine here.Supposed to be 1200. This is like scaling Everest as
0:55:45 > 0:55:56well. Liam has found 50 varieties of bumblebee as well as other
0:55:56 > 0:56:00endangered insects, but the most exciting news is a millipede,
0:56:00 > 0:56:05unknown to science has been discovered on a nearby tip.That is
0:56:05 > 0:56:11the species known to science, nowhere else in the world.He is the
0:56:11 > 0:56:16Usain Bolt of the millipede world. I have never held a species new to
0:56:16 > 0:56:22science in my fingers at all. It is awesome. We are here in the valleys
0:56:22 > 0:56:26on a waste product of an industrial age that did so much damage to the
0:56:26 > 0:56:29environment holding a species that wouldn't be here at all if it wasn't
0:56:29 > 0:56:34for the coal tips?It shows how special these sites are and we
0:56:34 > 0:56:40should be preserving them.A few miles away, this is an example of
0:56:40 > 0:56:45what can be done with mining's legacy. It has been turned into a
0:56:45 > 0:56:50park for everyone to enjoy and features a massive pit pony, carved
0:56:50 > 0:56:54out of the coal waste by a landscape artist. How long did it take you to
0:56:54 > 0:57:00Bill Butler?It was done in a six-month period and the whole
0:57:00 > 0:57:04purpose was to create a windbreak for this arena.You can almost see
0:57:04 > 0:57:12the muscle in this light.How did you do it? 60,000 tonnes of coal
0:57:12 > 0:57:16shale, two excavators and someone helping me with the marking out.You
0:57:16 > 0:57:20do have to come on it to see it at its best. What has the reaction been
0:57:20 > 0:57:25from the local people?Really positive, people standing on the pit
0:57:25 > 0:57:31pony and they said, you know what this should be called? It should be
0:57:31 > 0:57:35called Sultan, a prize-winning pony from a local pits.And it has stuck
0:57:35 > 0:57:41ever since. There we are, we will see your creation from the air. It
0:57:41 > 0:57:46is awesome. He looks pretty happy, running free on the side of the
0:57:46 > 0:57:58hill.The sunlight is perfect. Mining may have been dangerously and
0:57:58 > 0:58:02destructive, but it was once massively important. It is good to
0:58:02 > 0:58:07see its legacy in the landscape has been totally swept away. People are
0:58:07 > 0:58:11trying to keep the heritage alive in a positive way, that looks to the
0:58:11 > 0:58:21future.
0:58:24 > 0:58:32Earlier we ashes to send in photos of your photo mishaps.Laura had the
0:58:32 > 0:58:38Fire Brigade turn up when the candy machine set up a smoke detector.
0:58:38 > 0:58:44Cheryl from Ayrshire and her nephew Logan who had a wardrobe malfunction
0:58:44 > 0:58:49as he came down the aisle.Katie's sister-in-law crashed into her car
0:58:49 > 0:58:53on the wedding day. Husband told as they were walking up the eye.We
0:58:53 > 0:58:58thank you all couples. We will see you tomorrow Gordon Ramsay.
