Hello and welcome to
The One Show with Matt Baker. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
And Michelle Ackerley. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:19 | |
Outside it may be cold and grey
but in our studio this | 0:00:19 | 0:00:22 | |
evening love is in the air. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:26 | |
We have three special couples
who by the end of the show will have | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
renewed their wedding vows live
on the show. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:33 | |
Get your tissues and confetti ready! | 0:00:33 | 0:00:41 | |
They are very nervous, it will be
marvellous, do not worry. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
marvellous, do not worry. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
Our best man Dan is here to talk
about a girl's best friends - | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
diamonds - specifically those
belonging to her majesty the Queen. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
And our wedding guests tonight
certainly don't fall | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
into the category of people that
you just want to invite | 0:00:54 | 0:00:58 | |
to the evening do. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:02 | |
The first puts the ding into wedding
- our very own master of ceremonies. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
It's Lorraine Kelly. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:06 | |
And swapping murder for matromony -
from Death in Paradise it's | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
Ardal O'Hanlon and Josephine Jobert. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:15 | |
It is a special night. It is all in
honour of you, Lorraine. Are you all | 0:01:15 | 0:01:20 | |
feeling the love in the studio? I
wish I had brought my confetti. You | 0:01:20 | 0:01:28 | |
have only been to one wedding. Are
you not a fan? I don't have that | 0:01:28 | 0:01:34 | |
many friends I guess. I went to one
and it was a lovely wedding and they | 0:01:34 | 0:01:38 | |
were two good friends of mine. What
I did is I made them a surprise. I | 0:01:38 | 0:01:48 | |
filmed the wedding and gave them a
video as a souvenir. You will be | 0:01:48 | 0:01:53 | |
inundated with offers now. Lorraine,
recently you have been to 12 | 0:01:53 | 0:01:58 | |
weddings in your new programme. But
let's talk about your wedding. What | 0:01:58 | 0:02:02 | |
atmosphere did you have yours? There
was a lot of Titan, lots of pipers | 0:02:02 | 0:02:09 | |
and whiskey and dancing. We even had
friends of mine who do a | 0:02:09 | 0:02:14 | |
re-enactment of a battle and they
did a Braveheart thing. You know | 0:02:14 | 0:02:18 | |
when the bride and groom go away to
get their pictures taken and it | 0:02:18 | 0:02:23 | |
takes ages. We got people something
to do. They did a re-enactment of a | 0:02:23 | 0:02:29 | |
battle. It is very romantic. You had
quite an unusual wedding. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:56 | |
Well, we hope everything
goes without a hitch | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
with our ceremonies tonight,
but if your wedding day didn't go | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
quite to plan or something went
wrong and you captured the moment | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
on camera, send us a snap
and we'll show the most | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
embarrassing ones later! | 0:03:33 | 0:03:34 | |
Now, it's fair to say that it
certainly isn't a marriage made | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
in heaven when it comes
to the relationship between rail | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
operators and commuters. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
Not only have fares increased,
today the UK's biggest rail | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
franchise has been officially
named the worst. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:45 | |
The National Audit Office branded
Thameslink, Southern | 0:03:45 | 0:03:46 | |
and Great Northern poor value
for passengers, with 900,000 | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
travellers a day suffering the worst
disruption on the network. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
Dom Littlewood spent the first
strike day of 2018 with passengers | 0:03:51 | 0:03:53 | |
on the London to Southampton train
who found themselves on a bus. | 0:03:53 | 0:04:05 | |
There are five train companies
affected by strikes, which is why I | 0:04:05 | 0:04:09 | |
am ditching the train and going on a
coach. Hello, there. This coach is | 0:04:09 | 0:04:17 | |
travelling from London to
Southampton is an alternative to the | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
train service and is a coach with a
difference because there are | 0:04:20 | 0:04:24 | |
questions that need answering. So to
pass the time of day we are going to | 0:04:24 | 0:04:30 | |
play off the rails, a quiz about the
railways. Last year what percentage | 0:04:30 | 0:04:35 | |
of trains were on time? 95%? I think
25. That is low. 90. 87.7. Well | 0:04:35 | 0:04:51 | |
done. 25, you don't catch a train
very often. Why are you on this | 0:04:51 | 0:05:00 | |
code? I just went to visit my mum in
Yorkshire for Christmas and New Year | 0:05:00 | 0:05:04 | |
and I am on benefits and it is
cheaper than the train. Who controls | 0:05:04 | 0:05:09 | |
the price increases, the government
or the train operators? The | 0:05:09 | 0:05:13 | |
government. The train operators. The
government. Spot on. If they do not | 0:05:13 | 0:05:21 | |
address this now, the prices will
keep on rising. Can I ask why you | 0:05:21 | 0:05:30 | |
are on the coach? We intended to go
by train but there was a problem. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:35 | |
How do you feel about that? A bit
annoyed because I am not used to my | 0:05:35 | 0:05:40 | |
plans being in disarray. When was
there a first union dispute about | 0:05:40 | 0:05:47 | |
driver only operation? I would say
more recently, so 2007. It was | 0:05:47 | 0:05:58 | |
actually 1981. That surprised me as
well. Personally I love train rides, | 0:05:58 | 0:06:06 | |
this is just fine. If you love train
ride, why are you on the coach? We | 0:06:06 | 0:06:14 | |
are a couple and wherever he goes I
follow. This is tough. In the year | 0:06:14 | 0:06:21 | |
1900, how many tickets were sold by
British rail? The first one. It is | 0:06:21 | 0:06:33 | |
1.1 billion. Good gracious. Last
year train operators paid more money | 0:06:33 | 0:06:42 | |
to the government than they received
in subsidies? True or false? True. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:50 | |
Troupe. Spot on. How much does a
one-month season ticket from London | 0:06:50 | 0:06:56 | |
to Southampton cost? 80,000? £451.
How can you say AT ground? It | 0:06:56 | 0:07:07 | |
probably will be soon! Some of that
was tricky. Normally we are used to | 0:07:07 | 0:07:23 | |
seeing you on TV in the morning. How
are you enjoying this? It is | 0:07:23 | 0:07:30 | |
unashamed good fun, it is completely
crazy, it is over the top and it | 0:07:30 | 0:07:34 | |
makes you smile in January when it
is a bit miserable outside and you | 0:07:34 | 0:07:38 | |
need to have a laugh. We laughed our
heads of doing it, but we cried as | 0:07:38 | 0:07:45 | |
well. When it comes to the end of
the show there are two weddings and | 0:07:45 | 0:07:49 | |
it is really emotional. I tried so
much. Amongst all of the fun and | 0:07:49 | 0:07:57 | |
games, at the root of this are real
people and a real love story and | 0:07:57 | 0:08:02 | |
they care about each other so much.
And the audience is very involved | 0:08:02 | 0:08:07 | |
because they are the guests you
would have at your wedding. How does | 0:08:07 | 0:08:11 | |
it work? There are two brides and
grooms and they have got their | 0:08:11 | 0:08:18 | |
family and friends and you are up
against one another to win a | 0:08:18 | 0:08:22 | |
fantastic honeymoon and the chance
to get married and to have the | 0:08:22 | 0:08:26 | |
wedding shown. But the runners up
the mini honeymoon and they get | 0:08:26 | 0:08:29 | |
married as well. I have been to 12
weddings and every single one is | 0:08:29 | 0:08:36 | |
different and joyful and I cried at
every single one. What is not to | 0:08:36 | 0:08:42 | |
like about two people who love each
other standing up and telling people | 0:08:42 | 0:08:45 | |
they love that they want to say we
love each other for the rest of our | 0:08:45 | 0:08:50 | |
lives? But it is crazy as well
because there are games. What is | 0:08:50 | 0:08:55 | |
going on here? Everybody had a pad
they sat on and bounced up and down | 0:08:55 | 0:09:04 | |
and buy some jiggery-pokery and
electronics they popped a massive | 0:09:04 | 0:09:09 | |
champagne corks and they won a
prize. Did you not do that at your | 0:09:09 | 0:09:14 | |
wedding? Everybody will do it and it
will catch on. It got everybody | 0:09:14 | 0:09:18 | |
warmed up. Some of the girls were
happy to hold on because they were | 0:09:18 | 0:09:24 | |
bouncing. I noticed that. They got
so competitive and they went for it. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:32 | |
Did you have a favourite of the 12
weddings? To be honest I really did | 0:09:32 | 0:09:39 | |
love them all, they were all
amazing. The two boys who got | 0:09:39 | 0:09:43 | |
married was very special. It meant
so much to them. Of course it means | 0:09:43 | 0:09:49 | |
so much to everybody, but for them
to have their friends and family | 0:09:49 | 0:09:53 | |
together and they said they thought
they would never see the day. And | 0:09:53 | 0:09:57 | |
their dogs came down the aisle with
them, beautiful black labradors. | 0:09:57 | 0:10:02 | |
They had bows and flowers on and it
was joyful. In the news today they | 0:10:02 | 0:10:08 | |
are talking about same-sex marriages
in Australia now which is great. And | 0:10:08 | 0:10:14 | |
about time as well. But it was great
and that was a very special one. But | 0:10:14 | 0:10:19 | |
every single wedding is special and
there is something so lovely about | 0:10:19 | 0:10:23 | |
these vows. It chokes me up.
Everyone has their idea about what | 0:10:23 | 0:10:29 | |
their dream wedding would be. What
would yours be? Would you keep it | 0:10:29 | 0:10:33 | |
low key or go all out? Probably a
simple one, very intimate with my | 0:10:33 | 0:10:40 | |
closest friends and family. You
would not be jumping up and down | 0:10:40 | 0:10:44 | |
dressed in a wet suit is trying to
make a cake whilst on stage is going | 0:10:44 | 0:10:48 | |
around? Would it be a Caribbean
wedding? Probably, on a beach with a | 0:10:48 | 0:10:57 | |
live band or something like that. Is
it right that you wore a wig in the | 0:10:57 | 0:11:03 | |
second series of Father Ted because
of your wedding? Yes, it is true. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:12 | |
This is a major revelation. I got
married during the Christmas period. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:17 | |
We shot the video inserts, so all
the locations for the second series | 0:11:17 | 0:11:22 | |
of Father Ted just before Christmas.
Just after Christmas I got married | 0:11:22 | 0:11:27 | |
and I was feeling pretty rough on
the day of my wedding. My best man | 0:11:27 | 0:11:32 | |
had taken me out the night before
and I went to a barber and I got my | 0:11:32 | 0:11:36 | |
hair cut. I went back into the
studio, two weeks after filming, and | 0:11:36 | 0:11:41 | |
we are back in the studio to shoot
the whole series but I had no here, | 0:11:41 | 0:11:46 | |
so they had to make a special week
at very short notice. I was | 0:11:46 | 0:11:52 | |
unrecognisable. I was feeling rough
and I went and I shaved off all my | 0:11:52 | 0:12:02 | |
hair?! I remember the look of horror
when I went back into the studio and | 0:12:02 | 0:12:09 | |
we were filming for eight weeks and
it didn't match. It could not have | 0:12:09 | 0:12:14 | |
been more different. They had to
manufacture a wig at very short | 0:12:14 | 0:12:18 | |
notice and it was the budget for the
second series! During the entire | 0:12:18 | 0:12:24 | |
second series it is a wig to match
my own hair. We are now joined by | 0:12:24 | 0:12:30 | |
somebody who you know very well. She
is part of the programme, registrar | 0:12:30 | 0:12:35 | |
Kate Tremain, who will be helping us
tonight. A lot of people are | 0:12:35 | 0:12:41 | |
renewing their wedding vows. More
and more people are doing this, why | 0:12:41 | 0:12:44 | |
do you think it is a trend? It is
hard to put your finger on it, but | 0:12:44 | 0:12:50 | |
it is a jolly good excuse for a
party. It is all about the knees up. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:56 | |
Yes, and you can invite your best
man and your bridesmaids back ten | 0:12:56 | 0:13:00 | |
years on, it is a wonderful record
to have. Is it a legally binding | 0:13:00 | 0:13:05 | |
ceremony? No, not in the same way as
signing in the register, but vows | 0:13:05 | 0:13:12 | |
are binding in as much as they are
things that you say to each other | 0:13:12 | 0:13:16 | |
that mean something to you and they
are repeat of the vows that you made | 0:13:16 | 0:13:20 | |
to your wedding is a good
commitment. As we will see very | 0:13:20 | 0:13:25 | |
shortly, these vows are very
personal and they mean so much. They | 0:13:25 | 0:13:30 | |
are, absolutely. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:33 | |
It's time to meet our first couple,
Carol and Rohan, who will be | 0:13:33 | 0:13:36 | |
renewing their wedding vows shortly. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:37 | |
Here's your story. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:42 | |
We met in our hometown in Paignton
in Devon whilst out walking and we | 0:13:42 | 0:13:45 | |
just started chatting to each other.
We arranged to go on a date. We will | 0:13:45 | 0:13:52 | |
have been married ten years in
August. We thought about renewing | 0:13:52 | 0:13:57 | |
our vows on our ten year
anniversary. To have all our family | 0:13:57 | 0:14:01 | |
and friends with us. I lost my dad
about ten or 11 weeks ago and he | 0:14:01 | 0:14:06 | |
would have enjoyed it. So very much
missed. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:20 | |
Louise and Aidan, you met on this
very day 14 years ago and you are | 0:14:20 | 0:14:25 | |
here to celebrate ten years of
marriage together. When you married | 0:14:25 | 0:14:29 | |
you promised to care for each other
and share your lives. Today, you are | 0:14:29 | 0:14:36 | |
going to demonstrate your continuing
love for one another and renew the | 0:14:36 | 0:14:41 | |
vows you made. Louise and Aidan,
please, would you like to join | 0:14:41 | 0:14:46 | |
hands? Tell us your vows and we will
start with you, Louise. Aidan, I | 0:14:46 | 0:14:52 | |
will love and care for you always,
whatever our life brings, I know we | 0:14:52 | 0:14:57 | |
will always be happy. You will
always be by my side, making me | 0:14:57 | 0:15:01 | |
smile and making me laugh. I will
love you for evermore. Lovely, aid | 0:15:01 | 0:15:06 | |
and it is your turn. Louise, you are
my falling star come you fell from | 0:15:06 | 0:15:12 | |
the heaven and stole my heart. You
made me the man I am today and I | 0:15:12 | 0:15:17 | |
thank God I am privileged enough to
be ready. You are my world and I | 0:15:17 | 0:15:22 | |
would have married you every day.
Gosh, thank you. Aidan, Louise made | 0:15:22 | 0:15:28 | |
the love that joins your heart never
fail but grew deeper and stronger | 0:15:28 | 0:15:34 | |
with every passing year. You have
now made a very public pledge to | 0:15:34 | 0:15:38 | |
your continuing commitment to each
other. So very big congratulations. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:44 | |
Thank you.
APPLAUSE | 0:15:44 | 0:15:54 | |
Needed tissue, are you all right? If
you have been watching BBC One over | 0:15:57 | 0:16:02 | |
the past few days you may have seen
this trailer for a documentary | 0:16:02 | 0:16:07 | |
featuring Her Majesty the Queen
sharing memories of her coronation | 0:16:07 | 0:16:11 | |
and explaining the symbolic meaning
of the Crown Jewels? I have seen one | 0:16:11 | 0:16:17 | |
coronation and been the recipient in
the other. Dan will be here in a | 0:16:17 | 0:16:23 | |
moment after Ruth reveals the role
the Royal made daily-macro mail | 0:16:23 | 0:16:31 | |
played in bringing the diamonds to
London. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:34 | |
A South African spotted something
what looked like a shard of glass. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:39 | |
He dug out a rough gemstone. It was
the biggest diamond ever found. They | 0:16:39 | 0:16:47 | |
called it after the minor who sold
it to the local Transvaal government | 0:16:47 | 0:16:55 | |
for £150,000, which in today's money
is 16.8 million. It is believed the | 0:16:55 | 0:17:01 | |
miner who found it was paid enough
money to buy a herd of cattle. The | 0:17:01 | 0:17:06 | |
Transvaal government gave the
diamond to King Edward VII as a | 0:17:06 | 0:17:11 | |
birthday present, a goodwill gesture
after the ball war. And that is when | 0:17:11 | 0:17:16 | |
the challengers began. The rough
diamond had to travel over 8000 | 0:17:16 | 0:17:19 | |
miles from South Africa to London
without being stolen. Jeffrey has | 0:17:19 | 0:17:25 | |
the details and a replica diamond.
Moving valuable things around | 0:17:25 | 0:17:31 | |
requires all kind of stratagems and
the decoy is the best. How did they | 0:17:31 | 0:17:37 | |
move it? They gave the impression
the diamond was to move by the sea | 0:17:37 | 0:17:42 | |
and in the Captain's safe on-board
and all the focus and public | 0:17:42 | 0:17:47 | |
attention was going there, if
anybody knew about it. The diamond | 0:17:47 | 0:17:53 | |
was popped into the registered post
in England. The ordinary post, | 0:17:53 | 0:18:00 | |
albeit register. Maybe people were
cheering on their nails anticipating | 0:18:00 | 0:18:05 | |
its arrival. It gets back to England
in the post, what happened to it | 0:18:05 | 0:18:09 | |
then? It gets shown to the king and
the job is to convert it into | 0:18:09 | 0:18:13 | |
something more beautiful. Two years
earlier, the world's second biggest | 0:18:13 | 0:18:20 | |
diamond had been cut, and he was
chosen to cut this one, but he was | 0:18:20 | 0:18:25 | |
based in Amsterdam. One of the decoy
was based on two and naval ship to | 0:18:25 | 0:18:31 | |
Holland well the real one was in a
pocket. Cutting such a precious | 0:18:31 | 0:18:35 | |
gemstone, that was going to require
great skill and accuracy. They have | 0:18:35 | 0:18:43 | |
been cutting gems since 1890 and
they will show us how it is done. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:47 | |
This is a rough diamond. Perfectly
formed crystal. Stuart Beckley | 0:18:47 | 0:18:52 | |
studies the diamond to see how best
to use it. Using a modern 3-D | 0:18:52 | 0:18:57 | |
scanner, you can check for any
imperfections in the diamond and see | 0:18:57 | 0:19:02 | |
a visual representation of how it
should look when it is finished. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:06 | |
Next, we are shown how the diamond
is gently sawn to the correct size. | 0:19:06 | 0:19:12 | |
Would this have been how the other
diamond was cut? No, they had to | 0:19:12 | 0:19:20 | |
find the grain of the diamond and
they would hit it very hard. What if | 0:19:20 | 0:19:24 | |
it broke the wrong way? Then you are
in trouble. Without modern | 0:19:24 | 0:19:31 | |
equipment, the diamond cutter's
skill was key in cutting one of the | 0:19:31 | 0:19:35 | |
hardest substances on earth. His
first blow broke his steel blade, | 0:19:35 | 0:19:41 | |
rather than the diamond but his next
attempt was successful. The stone | 0:19:41 | 0:19:46 | |
was then faceted and polished over
nine months. Clive does this with a | 0:19:46 | 0:19:53 | |
spinning diamond encrusted
grindstone. This is where we are | 0:19:53 | 0:19:55 | |
getting the maximum life out of the
diamond and this is what makes it | 0:19:55 | 0:19:59 | |
sparkle and look pretty. Now you can
see all the lustre. Gosh. The | 0:19:59 | 0:20:09 | |
diamond was cleaved into nine major
stones and 96 smaller fragments. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:14 | |
This is a replica of the largest
stone which is called The Star Of | 0:20:14 | 0:20:20 | |
Africa. This is the second one, it
is in the front of the Imperial | 0:20:20 | 0:20:26 | |
State Crown, worn by the Queen at
the State Opening of Parliament. And | 0:20:26 | 0:20:30 | |
this was used at her coronation. Two
more stones were brought out and be | 0:20:30 | 0:20:36 | |
replicas here. The Queen wears them
because she inherited them from | 0:20:36 | 0:20:39 | |
Queen Mary and they are called
Granny's chips. They don't look like | 0:20:39 | 0:20:45 | |
my chips. The diamonds are now kept
in a tower of London, 8000 miles | 0:20:45 | 0:20:52 | |
away from where the original stone
was discovered. I wonder if the | 0:20:52 | 0:20:57 | |
minor who plucked the diamond out of
the rock, had any idea how many | 0:20:57 | 0:21:02 | |
stories and myths would grow up
around it? One thing is certain, the | 0:21:02 | 0:21:07 | |
diamond will be a lot around a lot
longer than of us. Am amazed that | 0:21:07 | 0:21:15 | |
diamond made it to the post but is
not the only one that's gone through | 0:21:15 | 0:21:19 | |
the Royal system? There is another
diamond but it went through the | 0:21:19 | 0:21:24 | |
American system. The Hope Diamond.
Look at the blue, it is rare. It | 0:21:24 | 0:21:32 | |
will go very nicely with your dress.
Ask if you can borrow it. It was | 0:21:32 | 0:21:39 | |
owned by Louis XVI when he had his
head chopped off in the French | 0:21:39 | 0:21:45 | |
Revolution. It was stolen them
popped in the post the $2 from New | 0:21:45 | 0:21:51 | |
York to Washington. $140 for
insurance and arrived at the | 0:21:51 | 0:21:55 | |
Smithsonian, where it has been ever
since. And we heard about part of | 0:21:55 | 0:22:01 | |
that other diamond in the Queen's
crime. How many diamonds are in the | 0:22:01 | 0:22:08 | |
collection? 140 objects in the crown
jewels. My favourite story, there | 0:22:08 | 0:22:12 | |
would be a lot more if King John
hadn't lost them in the wash. Just | 0:22:12 | 0:22:18 | |
before his death, he has distantly,
his empire has collapsed, the French | 0:22:18 | 0:22:22 | |
have invaded, he goes across the
watch, the tide comes in and he | 0:22:22 | 0:22:26 | |
loses the Crown Jewels. Medieval,
lots of them lost. My dream is to | 0:22:26 | 0:22:32 | |
find them in the ocean. I am coming
with you. There has been a new | 0:22:32 | 0:22:38 | |
collection since then? Yes, they had
to get new Crown Jewels. Guess how | 0:22:38 | 0:22:43 | |
many gemstones there are in the
Crown Jewels? Are there for? Just a | 0:22:43 | 0:22:48 | |
guess. Go higher than that. 140.
More than that. A lot more than | 0:22:48 | 0:22:58 | |
that. Go big. 500. 23,500 gems in
the Crown Jewels. Amazing. In fact, | 0:22:58 | 0:23:12 | |
I have got... The real thing! This
is not the real thing. This is the | 0:23:12 | 0:23:24 | |
replica used in the TV show, The
Crown. There are a few of the | 0:23:24 | 0:23:32 | |
Queen's favourites? Yes, the one we
have just seen and this is the | 0:23:32 | 0:23:39 | |
Queen's favourite, the Prince's
Ruby. It is a spindle, but it is | 0:23:39 | 0:23:47 | |
like a Ruby, still very precious. It
was given to the Black Prince, one | 0:23:47 | 0:23:52 | |
of the great warriors in British
history by a Spanish king that was | 0:23:52 | 0:23:55 | |
fighting his brother for the Crown
and the Black Prince helped him | 0:23:55 | 0:24:00 | |
defeat is brother. Then it belonged
to the Royal family, Henry V wore | 0:24:00 | 0:24:03 | |
it. Apparently a French axe hit it
and got knocked off. That is the | 0:24:03 | 0:24:14 | |
Queen's favourite part of the Crown
which she wears at the opening of | 0:24:14 | 0:24:16 | |
Parliament. What is the father? Just
fur around the edge. All them | 0:24:16 | 0:24:28 | |
precious diamonds and you have asked
me about the fur. This is a saint | 0:24:28 | 0:24:37 | |
Edward Safire. This is allegedly,
1000 years old. It is allegedly | 0:24:37 | 0:24:42 | |
Edward the confessor, the king that
received a sainthood. That is very | 0:24:42 | 0:24:48 | |
old, if it is true, which I am sure
it is. Then we have the Stuart. | 0:24:48 | 0:24:53 | |
Let's turn it around. That is
massive. James II took that with him | 0:24:53 | 0:25:02 | |
when he escaped in 1688 when he was
kicked off the throne. His | 0:25:02 | 0:25:07 | |
son-in-law and nephew invaded
England, and he took that as an | 0:25:07 | 0:25:15 | |
insurance policy as he was leaving.
The pearls are hanging down? Be a | 0:25:15 | 0:25:22 | |
lovely and they apparently belonged
to Queen Elizabeth. She wore them | 0:25:22 | 0:25:27 | |
has England but she wore them in
their hair and on her clothes. We | 0:25:27 | 0:25:31 | |
love history. This is it. Thank you
so much and there is a special | 0:25:31 | 0:25:36 | |
series of programmes, part of the
Royal collection season on the BBC | 0:25:36 | 0:25:40 | |
starting with the coronation on
Sunday at 8pm on BBC One. This is a | 0:25:40 | 0:25:44 | |
special thing for the Queen to be
involved in? I have never seen the | 0:25:44 | 0:25:48 | |
Queen speak like that about her
memories so it is a special and | 0:25:48 | 0:25:53 | |
historical record in its own right.
Make sure you leave back round | 0:25:53 | 0:25:58 | |
behind, don't go sneaking it out. It
will go with anything. Good luck | 0:25:58 | 0:26:03 | |
with your digging in Norfolk. In
honour of the rain's BBC One | 0:26:03 | 0:26:10 | |
programme, we are renewing vows. | 0:26:10 | 0:26:13 | |
Carol and Rohan are here today
to renew the vows they made to each | 0:26:13 | 0:26:23 | |
We met at a nightclub. And then we
arranged to meet and I stood him up. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:30 | |
We have been married for 30 years in
August. We said every ten years we | 0:26:30 | 0:26:35 | |
would renew our vows. We went to
Vegas, and we said we couldn't go to | 0:26:35 | 0:26:41 | |
Vegas without meeting Elvis. We tell
each other we love each other every | 0:26:41 | 0:26:46 | |
day, so why not do it in front of
everybody. | 0:26:46 | 0:26:56 | |
Carol and Rohan, as you start
a new phase in your life together, | 0:26:56 | 0:27:00 | |
You celebrate your continued
commitment to each other and | 0:27:04 | 0:27:09 | |
together you have experienced joys
and sorrows. Have shared tears and | 0:27:09 | 0:27:14 | |
laughter and have given each of
comfort and support. Carol and | 0:27:14 | 0:27:21 | |
Rohan, you are very welcome to hold
hands if you like. As you join hands | 0:27:21 | 0:27:25 | |
I will offer you the floor first to
read your vows. I have stolen my | 0:27:25 | 0:27:32 | |
words from Queen, but I will not
sing them to, I will not even try to | 0:27:32 | 0:27:37 | |
form the tune. You are the best
friend I have ever had. I have been | 0:27:37 | 0:27:41 | |
with you such a long time. You are
my sunshine and I want you to know | 0:27:41 | 0:27:47 | |
that my feelings are true. I really
love you. You are my best friend, | 0:27:47 | 0:27:51 | |
you make me live. Lovely, thank you
very much. Are you ready. When we | 0:27:51 | 0:28:01 | |
married 30 years ago I said I would
love you for ever. Nothing has | 0:28:01 | 0:28:04 | |
stopped me from feeling the same
today as I did then and I hope you | 0:28:04 | 0:28:08 | |
feel the same. I will love you
always and still we have a groovy | 0:28:08 | 0:28:13 | |
kind of love and you are still my
best friend. | 0:28:13 | 0:28:15 | |
APPLAUSE
I was just going to say | 0:28:15 | 0:28:27 | |
congratulations on the affirmation
of your love. Well done. | 0:28:27 | 0:28:31 | |
You could have warned the Crown,
Carol. That was magic, thank you | 0:28:31 | 0:28:37 | |
both very much. Very brave. | 0:28:37 | 0:28:45 | |
We have sent somebody new to the UK
to learn about our British cultures | 0:28:45 | 0:28:48 | |
and values.
My name is Hassan and two years ago | 0:28:48 | 0:28:56 | |
I risked my life in an overcrowded
dinghy to flee the war in Syria. I | 0:28:56 | 0:29:01 | |
now call the UK my home but I have
only experienced London and still I | 0:29:01 | 0:29:06 | |
have a lot to learn about this
country's culture. Pantomime, what | 0:29:06 | 0:29:10 | |
is that? Men dressed up as women...
Its values. They say traditional | 0:29:10 | 0:29:19 | |
British values of fairness and
justice, but that is not always the | 0:29:19 | 0:29:22 | |
case. And what life is like the
people here. What is it like? Very | 0:29:22 | 0:29:28 | |
depressing, no work. I have taken my
camera on the road and The one Show | 0:29:28 | 0:29:33 | |
have sent me to the seaside in the
middle of winter to a place called | 0:29:33 | 0:29:37 | |
Lowestoft. It is absolutely
freezing. I need to get some | 0:29:37 | 0:29:47 | |
breakfast. Morning. You all right? I
would love a cup of Coffey. And an | 0:29:47 | 0:29:55 | |
egg roll. OK? This is the most
easterly point of Great Britain. How | 0:29:55 | 0:30:03 | |
is the fishing industry? In the old
days, going out for the herring and | 0:30:03 | 0:30:12 | |
you could walk from one side to the
other but now it is down to 12 or 13 | 0:30:12 | 0:30:17 | |
fishing boats in the whole fleet.
Have you got brown sauce? We have | 0:30:17 | 0:30:23 | |
brown sauce. I had never heard of
brown sauce until I came to this | 0:30:23 | 0:30:28 | |
country. Stunning. I have heard
reports of people like me not being | 0:30:28 | 0:30:32 | |
made welcome in places like this.
Although I am an outsider, people | 0:30:32 | 0:30:36 | |
are happy to chat, even in the
freezing cold. The beach is | 0:30:36 | 0:30:40 | |
beautiful. Are you happy? Yes, very
happy. Not a lot of the children to | 0:30:40 | 0:30:47 | |
do around here. When your children
grow up, will you encourage them to | 0:30:47 | 0:30:52 | |
leave? I will encourage them, but I
like living here. My parents are in | 0:30:52 | 0:30:59 | |
Syria and my brother is in Iraq and
we miss that time, it is the best | 0:30:59 | 0:31:03 | |
times. Really good to meet you. | 0:31:03 | 0:31:13 | |
Seems like there is a community
centre here. The 60 plus club. It | 0:31:13 | 0:31:17 | |
looks very interesting. 136. That is
really cute. When I walked in I saw | 0:31:17 | 0:31:32 | |
you guys playing something. This is
our Christmas raffle today. We do | 0:31:32 | 0:31:38 | |
not have this where I come from. We
raise money. Four tickets for £1. | 0:31:38 | 0:31:47 | |
They are quite cheap! I am about to
try this for the first time, so wish | 0:31:47 | 0:31:51 | |
me luck. And that is 32. No, sorry.
No, sorry. 200. Hurray. I will leave | 0:31:51 | 0:32:08 | |
with something from Lowestoft.
Lowestoft is not an easy place to | 0:32:08 | 0:32:15 | |
get to. You do not pass through it
on a journey elsewhere. You have got | 0:32:15 | 0:32:19 | |
to want to be here and a lot of the
people I have met really do. Hello. | 0:32:19 | 0:32:28 | |
What restaurant is this? Indian,
great. Indian is quite big. It is | 0:32:28 | 0:32:39 | |
like an English cuisine now. Where
are you from? Bangladesh. Have you | 0:32:39 | 0:32:45 | |
been here for a while? For many
years. Does it feel like home? I | 0:32:45 | 0:32:53 | |
feel British like everyone else, but
my roots are in Bangladesh and it | 0:32:53 | 0:32:58 | |
feels like a special place. I can
relate to that because Syria and | 0:32:58 | 0:33:02 | |
Damascus is a special place for me,
but now I am building my life here | 0:33:02 | 0:33:07 | |
and it feels like home. Cheers.
Hello, guys. I am from Syria. Is | 0:33:07 | 0:33:14 | |
that OK? That is great. Some fellow
out-of-towners have asked me to join | 0:33:14 | 0:33:22 | |
them for dinner. Pleased to meet
you. Cheers, guys. The town is on | 0:33:22 | 0:33:28 | |
the edge of Britain at the seaside,
what is so special about them? They | 0:33:28 | 0:33:34 | |
are normally run down. Nobody goes
to the British seaside for holidays | 0:33:34 | 0:33:38 | |
these days. It is probably cheaper
for a family in Manchester to go to | 0:33:38 | 0:33:42 | |
Spain. Whether they are visitors
like us who call Lowestoft home, I | 0:33:42 | 0:33:49 | |
have asked pretty much everyone here
about British values and no one | 0:33:49 | 0:33:54 | |
seemed to give me a clear answer.
However, people gave me a warm | 0:33:54 | 0:33:59 | |
welcome and they did not care where
I came from. From my experience | 0:33:59 | 0:34:04 | |
these are what the British values
are. | 0:34:04 | 0:34:06 | |
From Syria to Lowestoft is very much
a journey. I am looking forward to | 0:34:06 | 0:34:14 | |
seeing more of that. As a French
national, what would you say is the | 0:34:14 | 0:34:20 | |
strangest thing culturally that you
have experience? During series six | 0:34:20 | 0:34:25 | |
we came to London to fill a few
episodes and I experienced something | 0:34:25 | 0:34:31 | |
called pork scratchings. It is
horrible. What is it? And the beer, | 0:34:31 | 0:34:38 | |
the Guinness. I don't drink alcohol
and I have a glass of champagne | 0:34:38 | 0:34:45 | |
sometimes. It is very bitter. During
the seen my character drinks beer. | 0:34:45 | 0:34:51 | |
And she goes yuck. I was not acting.
You don't drink it? No, not really. | 0:34:51 | 0:35:01 | |
Do you promise to tell the truth? Is
it right that you told somebody in | 0:35:01 | 0:35:07 | |
an interview that you did a musical
with Frank Sinatra to see what would | 0:35:07 | 0:35:12 | |
happen M it is true. I felt the
interviewer was not paying much | 0:35:12 | 0:35:16 | |
attention to my answers, so I threw
in this. It was not me. No, it was | 0:35:16 | 0:35:26 | |
not Lorraine. She asked me what I
was doing and what my last job was | 0:35:26 | 0:35:31 | |
and I said I was in a musical in Las
Vegas with Frank Sinatra, and her | 0:35:31 | 0:35:36 | |
years picked up. She said, oh,
really? And then I said I was in a | 0:35:36 | 0:35:43 | |
camel and he played the years. Give
us your best poker face. That | 0:35:43 | 0:35:53 | |
features in the next episode. You
have spent five months out there | 0:35:53 | 0:36:00 | |
filming the new series, how has he
fitted into life in the Caribbean as | 0:36:00 | 0:36:02 | |
a detective? Pretty good. He knows
it. He is a real actor. I know what | 0:36:02 | 0:36:09 | |
it is like to be the new guy in a
show because I arrived in series | 0:36:09 | 0:36:15 | |
four so we did our best to make him
feel comfortable. I think he did a | 0:36:15 | 0:36:20 | |
great job. It was not easy for you
because in the last series you had | 0:36:20 | 0:36:25 | |
to understand your character. You
were involved in two episodes? There | 0:36:25 | 0:36:33 | |
was a little handover in the second
half of last series and we had a | 0:36:33 | 0:36:37 | |
transition period where Chris's
character was leaving, he fell in | 0:36:37 | 0:36:42 | |
love, and then I joined in. I
suppose it was easier this year to | 0:36:42 | 0:36:47 | |
start from scratch in the series we
have just done. We can see how you | 0:36:47 | 0:36:52 | |
are settling in in tomorrow's
episode. Some point during the final | 0:36:52 | 0:36:56 | |
hour killer was able to get the
froggy poison onto this card with | 0:36:56 | 0:37:01 | |
anybody seeing. How is that
possible? They play for 90 minutes, | 0:37:01 | 0:37:08 | |
the debt was shovelled, the cards
pass from player to player, hand to | 0:37:08 | 0:37:12 | |
hand, so how come no one else was
poisoned? Was it definitely meant | 0:37:12 | 0:37:18 | |
for Bobby alone? We have to assume.
Why was he the only one who died? | 0:37:18 | 0:37:24 | |
How can our killer know that this
exact card, the ace of spades, would | 0:37:24 | 0:37:28 | |
wind up in Bobby's and? It has got a
poker storyline been going through | 0:37:28 | 0:37:34 | |
it. You are quite a good poker
player yourself. Did you chat with | 0:37:34 | 0:37:40 | |
the producers? Not really. It is a
great episode I have to say. A big | 0:37:40 | 0:37:48 | |
international poker tournament comes
to the island and one of the players | 0:37:48 | 0:37:52 | |
died at the table. How did it
happen? I did play poker all right I | 0:37:52 | 0:37:57 | |
was younger. I used to spend a lot
and I got the name, the nickname, | 0:37:57 | 0:38:03 | |
pockets O Hanlon. I used to leave
the table with my pockets full. But | 0:38:03 | 0:38:09 | |
I used to love poker, so I was into
this episode. I enjoyed the first | 0:38:09 | 0:38:16 | |
episode. I did not get it. I will
not say anything in case anyone has | 0:38:16 | 0:38:21 | |
not seen it. As far as life is
concerned out there and the filming, | 0:38:21 | 0:38:25 | |
how does it fit into your normal
life? Where do you live normally? I | 0:38:25 | 0:38:31 | |
live in Paris. How long do you go
over there for? It is five months. | 0:38:31 | 0:38:38 | |
It is a long time, do your family
visit? My family came over to visit | 0:38:38 | 0:38:43 | |
for two months. It is a very long
time, so it is good to have people | 0:38:43 | 0:38:48 | |
there. It is a great opportunity to
experience a different lifestyle and | 0:38:48 | 0:38:55 | |
it is a great privilege for the
families to be able to join in. We | 0:38:55 | 0:38:59 | |
should during the summer so during
the holidays my teenagers can come | 0:38:59 | 0:39:03 | |
out and my wife and they have a
great time and they get to know the | 0:39:03 | 0:39:07 | |
place. It is a different pace of
life for them and it is all outdoors | 0:39:07 | 0:39:11 | |
and it is great. Would you ever
fancy a part in this, Lorraine? It | 0:39:11 | 0:39:17 | |
sounds fantastic. This is you as a
detective. That was hilarious, that | 0:39:17 | 0:39:25 | |
was great fun. Yes, I would love
that. Can you put a word in? But | 0:39:25 | 0:39:30 | |
everybody is clamouring to be on it.
There are so many guest actors. | 0:39:30 | 0:39:37 | |
Jennifer Lawrence next week! And
Nigel Planer? Yes, he is in this | 0:39:37 | 0:39:45 | |
episode and he plays one of the
poker players. A genuine hero of | 0:39:45 | 0:39:49 | |
mine. That was the show more than
anything that inspired me to get | 0:39:49 | 0:39:55 | |
into comedy when I was a teenager. I
was glued to it on television. To | 0:39:55 | 0:40:00 | |
meet him was great and to work with
him is doubly brilliant. We will | 0:40:00 | 0:40:06 | |
talk more about the Caribbean and
hopefully we can go live there | 0:40:06 | 0:40:10 | |
shortly. You were there during the
hurricane season. What was it like | 0:40:10 | 0:40:17 | |
when the weather was like during
filming for you guys? A few weeks | 0:40:17 | 0:40:23 | |
before the hurricane arrived it was
very hot, more than it normally is. | 0:40:23 | 0:40:30 | |
And it was a bit scary of course,
but the production handled it very | 0:40:30 | 0:40:35 | |
well. We had what sap group and sent
messages to each other to make sure | 0:40:35 | 0:40:43 | |
everybody was OK. We started filming
in the morning and then the police | 0:40:43 | 0:40:46 | |
came on the set and said we had to
stop and go home. That was at your | 0:40:46 | 0:40:54 | |
place? So we came back to our villas
and waited until the next day. It | 0:40:54 | 0:40:58 | |
was a very long night. It is the
uncertainty. You do not know what | 0:40:58 | 0:41:03 | |
you will face the next morning and
whether you will have water or | 0:41:03 | 0:41:07 | |
electricity. Or whether you will
have food. So you are not quite sure | 0:41:07 | 0:41:14 | |
and you have a long and dark night
of the soul because it puts it into | 0:41:14 | 0:41:19 | |
perspective. We are just making a TV
show, but for people living in the | 0:41:19 | 0:41:23 | |
Caribbean they live there all the
time and it is something they have | 0:41:23 | 0:41:28 | |
to contend with once in a
generation. Hopefully we are about | 0:41:28 | 0:41:32 | |
to go live to the Caribbean to the
neighbouring island. | 0:41:32 | 0:41:37 | |
Death in Paradise is filmed
on the Caribbean island | 0:41:37 | 0:41:40 | |
of Guadeloupe, which along with much
of the Caribbean, was ravaged | 0:41:40 | 0:41:42 | |
by hurricanes Irma and Maria
towards the end of last year. | 0:41:42 | 0:41:45 | |
In the aftermath, Angellica brought
us a series of films from Dominica. | 0:41:45 | 0:41:48 | |
So we thought we'd revisit
the island to see how | 0:41:48 | 0:41:50 | |
they're getting on in 2018. | 0:41:50 | 0:41:51 | |
We have Emerline Anselm on the line. | 0:41:51 | 0:41:53 | |
She's a local school
teacher on the island. | 0:41:53 | 0:41:55 | |
Thank you so much for joining us.
Tell us first of all how everyone | 0:41:55 | 0:41:59 | |
was affected by hurricane Maria.
Hurricane Maria devastated Dominic | 0:41:59 | 0:42:05 | |
Raab. It left most homes without a
roof. It left the island turned | 0:42:05 | 0:42:11 | |
upside down. It left most schools
without a roof, the police station | 0:42:11 | 0:42:19 | |
destroyed, churches destroyed. There
was no water on the island, | 0:42:19 | 0:42:23 | |
absolutely no connection could be
made with the outside world. There | 0:42:23 | 0:42:29 | |
was no electricity, we were
devastated by hurricane Maria. How | 0:42:29 | 0:42:34 | |
did you react to that? What did you
do to help out other islanders? When | 0:42:34 | 0:42:40 | |
I woke up the next morning I was
speechless, I could not believe it | 0:42:40 | 0:42:44 | |
was Dominic Raab. I could not
believe that Maria did this to my | 0:42:44 | 0:42:49 | |
beautiful island. The place looked
so pale, all the greenery was gone. | 0:42:49 | 0:42:55 | |
Then I decided to take to the
streets and I went from village to | 0:42:55 | 0:42:58 | |
village and try to make connection
with relatives and friends near and | 0:42:58 | 0:43:03 | |
far. I went to villagers, I took
names, contacts and numbers and | 0:43:03 | 0:43:07 | |
output messages onto my notepad and
I put it on Facebook so that family | 0:43:07 | 0:43:12 | |
members would know it was OK. That
was amazing work. How is life now? | 0:43:12 | 0:43:18 | |
Are things turning back to normal?
There is some sense of normality. | 0:43:18 | 0:43:23 | |
Schools have opened. There were 200
passengers who came to the island a | 0:43:23 | 0:43:31 | |
couple of weeks ago. We have
communication back. We have water in | 0:43:31 | 0:43:38 | |
most villages in Dominic Raab. And
also the road network is much | 0:43:38 | 0:43:43 | |
better. We are here with the actors
who have been filming on the | 0:43:43 | 0:43:50 | |
neighbouring island of yours. They
just said how beautiful the island | 0:43:50 | 0:43:56 | |
was. We had a week off in the middle
of the summer and myself and my | 0:43:56 | 0:44:02 | |
family visited your island and I
have to say it was the most magical | 0:44:02 | 0:44:07 | |
place I have ever visited in my
life. It is so unspoiled and the | 0:44:07 | 0:44:13 | |
people are so independent and
wonderful and self-sufficient. When | 0:44:13 | 0:44:17 | |
the hurricane hit we were so
devastated. I would like to ask is | 0:44:17 | 0:44:21 | |
it open for tourism again? Are
people welcome and wanted? People | 0:44:21 | 0:44:27 | |
are welcome. Now they are clearing
the site and the trails and they are | 0:44:27 | 0:44:31 | |
fixing up different areas. You can
calm biplane and boat and visit the | 0:44:31 | 0:44:39 | |
island. Now the green is coming back
and it is still beautiful. Thank you | 0:44:39 | 0:44:44 | |
so much. Thank you so much for your
time and all the very best with all | 0:44:44 | 0:44:49 | |
the work you are doing and send our
love to everybody out there. | 0:44:49 | 0:44:54 | |
We've been on board all week
with Mike, who's been braving | 0:44:54 | 0:44:57 | |
the elements around our islands. | 0:44:57 | 0:44:58 | |
He's searching for the giants
of the sea - whales. | 0:44:58 | 0:45:00 | |
Tonight his journey takes him
to the Minches, the area | 0:45:00 | 0:45:03 | |
between the outer Hebrides and north
Scotland where he's in for a treat. | 0:45:03 | 0:45:13 | |
I am two weeks into an epic
three-week journey, passing through | 0:45:17 | 0:45:22 | |
some of the richest marine life
areas in British and Irish waters. | 0:45:22 | 0:45:28 | |
Aboard the Celtic Explorer I am with
a world-class team of oceanographers | 0:45:28 | 0:45:33 | |
as they use cutting-edge technology
to assess the abundance and | 0:45:33 | 0:45:37 | |
distribution of life within our
oceans. Along the way, my mission is | 0:45:37 | 0:45:41 | |
to find and film marine life that
would normally be out of reach. We | 0:45:41 | 0:45:46 | |
are watching seven or eight
dolphins. | 0:45:46 | 0:45:58 | |
The main objective of the survey is
to assess the abundance of fish such | 0:46:00 | 0:46:06 | |
as herring, horse mackerel and
others. Assessing all levels of the | 0:46:06 | 0:46:11 | |
marine ecosystem is hugely
important. Starting at the bottom | 0:46:11 | 0:46:15 | |
involves some unique equipment. This
high-speed machine is a remotely | 0:46:15 | 0:46:23 | |
operated device that incorporates a
fine net to catch plankton. | 0:46:23 | 0:46:30 | |
Basically, this high-speed sampler
is towed off the back of the boat. | 0:46:30 | 0:46:35 | |
Really, it is a plankton net inside
a steel torpedo. I am manually | 0:46:35 | 0:46:41 | |
controlling the Sam Powell right
now. You are fishing for plankton? | 0:46:41 | 0:46:45 | |
That is the main game of the
sampler. Small things matter? They | 0:46:45 | 0:46:54 | |
play such a huge part of the marine
system on a global scale. A vital | 0:46:54 | 0:47:03 | |
step in the food chain, plankton
consists of tiny animals like | 0:47:03 | 0:47:09 | |
crustaceans, fish larvae and
jellyfish. That is see soup. It is | 0:47:09 | 0:47:20 | |
full of plankton. They are the base
of the marine food chain. They feed | 0:47:20 | 0:47:28 | |
of fish and the fish feed larger
whales, sharks and dolphins. The | 0:47:28 | 0:47:35 | |
only way to truly appreciate these
ecosystem energy providers is | 0:47:35 | 0:47:40 | |
through the microscope. That is
absolutely beautiful. What is it? | 0:47:40 | 0:47:48 | |
This is called Asego Jewsbury. It is
different from other jellyfish | 0:47:48 | 0:47:52 | |
because of these lines. They move
together in unison to help it move | 0:47:52 | 0:47:56 | |
in the water. It is only when you
look through the microscope that you | 0:47:56 | 0:48:02 | |
realise they are miniature works of
art? Absolutely, the diversity and | 0:48:02 | 0:48:08 | |
complex a TUC in these plankton is
overlooked a lot of the time. And if | 0:48:08 | 0:48:12 | |
you take plankton out of the
picture, you have nothing else. You | 0:48:12 | 0:48:17 | |
don't get fish, you don't get any
higher organisms that we love and | 0:48:17 | 0:48:21 | |
hold dear. Plankton feed quail and
then they feed bailing Wales. Which | 0:48:21 | 0:48:29 | |
is what I hope to see. After a few
days with no sightings, the weather | 0:48:29 | 0:48:34 | |
is looking good for spotting. We've
just come round the butt of Lewis, | 0:48:34 | 0:48:41 | |
so we are in between the outer
Hebrides and North Scotland. An area | 0:48:41 | 0:48:47 | |
brilliant for whales and dolphins
and the conditions are perfect. It's | 0:48:47 | 0:48:50 | |
not long before... There it is. I
saw the snout. Beautiful Axel we | 0:48:50 | 0:48:57 | |
spot Menke Wales. Menke Wales can
grow up to ten metres in length and | 0:48:57 | 0:49:05 | |
weigh in at nine tonnes. Twice as
heavy as an elephant. It is really | 0:49:05 | 0:49:13 | |
close to the boat. Like all filter
feeding whales it has two blowhole | 0:49:13 | 0:49:19 | |
is to maximise the oxygen needed to
support its huge body. Personality, | 0:49:19 | 0:49:24 | |
it is an introverted whale and
incredibly difficult to get on film. | 0:49:24 | 0:49:31 | |
Despite being one of the smallest
filter feeding whales, they can | 0:49:31 | 0:49:36 | |
consume 300 kilograms of food a day.
Finding the Menke Wales is an | 0:49:36 | 0:49:41 | |
incredible experience but I will
have to go deeper if I want to find | 0:49:41 | 0:49:45 | |
the real giants. | 0:49:45 | 0:49:50 | |
Lorraine, you were lost in that. I
was, I have been lucky to see Menke | 0:49:50 | 0:49:55 | |
Wales and Scotland and I have been
to Antarctica. I would go back | 0:49:55 | 0:50:02 | |
tomorrow. It is a very special thing
to experience. It makes you feel | 0:50:02 | 0:50:08 | |
very small, that is a good thing.
Was that part of your wedding | 0:50:08 | 0:50:12 | |
anniversary? It was, we were married
the 25 years and we went to | 0:50:12 | 0:50:18 | |
Antarctica. We followed Ernie
Shackleton's journey and it was | 0:50:18 | 0:50:21 | |
incredible. What a cool thing to do
for your anniversary. Luckily my | 0:50:21 | 0:50:28 | |
husband shares my passions, or that
would not have worked out. Which | 0:50:28 | 0:50:33 | |
leads is beautifully done for the
couple theme. | 0:50:33 | 0:50:36 | |
Time to meet our third and final
couple Valerie and Mark | 0:50:36 | 0:50:38 | |
who are going to renew their vows. | 0:50:38 | 0:50:41 | |
We met in a single club. We have
been married 20 years. We had | 0:50:41 | 0:50:49 | |
arranged to renew our vows last year
on our 20th anniversary. We had an | 0:50:49 | 0:50:54 | |
accident in Dubai. I was off work
for several weeks. Without Valerie's | 0:50:54 | 0:51:01 | |
support, I don't think I would have
got through it. I would like to | 0:51:01 | 0:51:04 | |
thank my son Ian, my boss who has
given us the day off to come here | 0:51:04 | 0:51:11 | |
today. Thank you very much, Ian.
No doubt Ian will be watching. Kate, | 0:51:11 | 0:51:17 | |
it is over to you. | 0:51:17 | 0:51:20 | |
Valerie and Mark are here today
to renew the vows which they made | 0:51:20 | 0:51:23 | |
to each other when they married
20 years ago. | 0:51:23 | 0:51:26 | |
Over those 20 years their marriage
has grown richer, today | 0:51:26 | 0:51:28 | |
they demonstrate their continued
commitment to one another. | 0:51:28 | 0:51:32 | |
Valerie and Mark please join hands
and share your vows. | 0:51:32 | 0:51:40 | |
Valerie, is it OK if we start with
you? | 0:51:40 | 0:51:44 | |
Mark, I love you because you made me
smile, when I almost forgot how to. | 0:51:44 | 0:51:47 | |
I feel everything in life
has led us to this... | 0:51:47 | 0:51:50 | |
Choices, regrets, heartbreak... | 0:51:50 | 0:51:51 | |
We've fought hard to
overcome so many obstacles, | 0:51:51 | 0:51:53 | |
but always together. | 0:51:53 | 0:51:55 | |
A strong marriage doesn't
always have two strong | 0:51:55 | 0:51:57 | |
people at the same time. | 0:51:57 | 0:52:00 | |
As we we know, it's a husband
and wife who take turns being strong | 0:52:00 | 0:52:03 | |
when the other feels weak. | 0:52:03 | 0:52:06 | |
I look back over our life together,
the houses we've had, | 0:52:06 | 0:52:09 | |
the cars we've drove,
the things we own that really | 0:52:09 | 0:52:11 | |
don't matter at all. | 0:52:11 | 0:52:12 | |
What matters more than anything,
is our family, and that I've got | 0:52:12 | 0:52:15 | |
you and you've got me. | 0:52:15 | 0:52:23 | |
Well done. Are you ready, Mark?
Valerie, you have been my friend, a | 0:52:23 | 0:52:30 | |
wonderful wife. Which I cherish so
very much. I will be forever | 0:52:30 | 0:52:38 | |
grateful for the years we have been
together and hopefully, spend many | 0:52:38 | 0:52:44 | |
more years together. Thank you, I
love you. | 0:52:44 | 0:52:48 | |
May your hands be forever
clasped in friendship | 0:52:48 | 0:52:50 | |
and your hearts be joined in love. | 0:52:50 | 0:52:52 | |
May your life continue to be full
of kindness and understanding, | 0:52:52 | 0:52:54 | |
thoughtfulness and joy. | 0:52:54 | 0:52:57 | |
You have renewed your vows,
congratulations to the both of you. | 0:52:57 | 0:53:07 | |
There isn't a dry eye in the house.
APPLAUSE | 0:53:08 | 0:53:20 | |
Congratulations. Thank you both very
much indeed. | 0:53:21 | 0:53:33 | |
We have are going somewhere now that
is thanks to our industrial past. At | 0:53:34 | 0:53:47 | |
the height of the mining boom, Wales
was one of the largest coaling | 0:53:47 | 0:53:55 | |
countries in the world.
These black diamonds have | 0:53:55 | 0:53:58 | |
fundamentally change the way people
live around here. There's virtually | 0:53:58 | 0:54:02 | |
nothing left of mining any more in
these valleys but it has left an | 0:54:02 | 0:54:06 | |
indelible mark the landscape.
Dockyards, stately homes, even | 0:54:06 | 0:54:17 | |
entire villages owed their existence
to Cole, ripped from the Earth and | 0:54:17 | 0:54:21 | |
the valleys are littered with what
mining left behind but the most | 0:54:21 | 0:54:27 | |
inescapable reminders are slack
heaps, massive man-made hills, built | 0:54:27 | 0:54:31 | |
from the waste product of mining.
Not so long ago, slack heaps was | 0:54:31 | 0:54:36 | |
seen as nothing more than a dirty
blot on the landscape or a | 0:54:36 | 0:54:41 | |
dangerously menace, at worst. But
today, there are people who actually | 0:54:41 | 0:54:45 | |
like them. Leah is an entomologist
who studies insects on slack heaps. | 0:54:45 | 0:54:52 | |
One of his favourite locations is
this tip in south Wales. Lee, it is | 0:54:52 | 0:54:57 | |
unbelievable looking at this place,
how fast it is. It is a fantastic | 0:54:57 | 0:55:03 | |
habitat. You can see fresh water
down there, wetlands and then you | 0:55:03 | 0:55:09 | |
have this almost lunar like expanse
in front of us. We couldn't design | 0:55:09 | 0:55:14 | |
it better? You couldn't, and we will
never get anything like this again. | 0:55:14 | 0:55:18 | |
It is unique in the way it has been
tipped. Nothing like it anywhere in | 0:55:18 | 0:55:26 | |
the British Isles, so fantastic for
invertebrates, butterflies, | 0:55:26 | 0:55:28 | |
bumblebees, dragonflies. It brings
it into perspective how much they | 0:55:28 | 0:55:35 | |
did mine here. Supposed to be 1200.
This is like scaling Everest as | 0:55:35 | 0:55:45 | |
well. Liam has found 50 varieties of
bumblebee as well as other | 0:55:45 | 0:55:56 | |
endangered insects, but the most
exciting news is a millipede, | 0:55:56 | 0:56:00 | |
unknown to science has been
discovered on a nearby tip. That is | 0:56:00 | 0:56:05 | |
the species known to science,
nowhere else in the world. He is the | 0:56:05 | 0:56:11 | |
Usain Bolt of the millipede world. I
have never held a species new to | 0:56:11 | 0:56:16 | |
science in my fingers at all. It is
awesome. We are here in the valleys | 0:56:16 | 0:56:22 | |
on a waste product of an industrial
age that did so much damage to the | 0:56:22 | 0:56:26 | |
environment holding a species that
wouldn't be here at all if it wasn't | 0:56:26 | 0:56:29 | |
for the coal tips? It shows how
special these sites are and we | 0:56:29 | 0:56:34 | |
should be preserving them. A few
miles away, this is an example of | 0:56:34 | 0:56:40 | |
what can be done with mining's
legacy. It has been turned into a | 0:56:40 | 0:56:45 | |
park for everyone to enjoy and
features a massive pit pony, carved | 0:56:45 | 0:56:50 | |
out of the coal waste by a landscape
artist. How long did it take you to | 0:56:50 | 0:56:54 | |
Bill Butler? It was done in a
six-month period and the whole | 0:56:54 | 0:57:00 | |
purpose was to create a windbreak
for this arena. You can almost see | 0:57:00 | 0:57:04 | |
the muscle in this light. How did
you do it? 60,000 tonnes of coal | 0:57:04 | 0:57:12 | |
shale, two excavators and someone
helping me with the marking out. You | 0:57:12 | 0:57:16 | |
do have to come on it to see it at
its best. What has the reaction been | 0:57:16 | 0:57:20 | |
from the local people? Really
positive, people standing on the pit | 0:57:20 | 0:57:25 | |
pony and they said, you know what
this should be called? It should be | 0:57:25 | 0:57:31 | |
called Sultan, a prize-winning pony
from a local pits. And it has stuck | 0:57:31 | 0:57:35 | |
ever since. There we are, we will
see your creation from the air. It | 0:57:35 | 0:57:41 | |
is awesome. He looks pretty happy,
running free on the side of the | 0:57:41 | 0:57:46 | |
hill. The sunlight is perfect.
Mining may have been dangerously and | 0:57:46 | 0:57:58 | |
destructive, but it was once
massively important. It is good to | 0:57:58 | 0:58:02 | |
see its legacy in the landscape has
been totally swept away. People are | 0:58:02 | 0:58:07 | |
trying to keep the heritage alive in
a positive way, that looks to the | 0:58:07 | 0:58:11 | |
future. | 0:58:11 | 0:58:21 | |
Earlier we ashes to send in photos
of your photo mishaps. Laura had the | 0:58:24 | 0:58:32 | |
Fire Brigade turn up when the candy
machine set up a smoke detector. | 0:58:32 | 0:58:38 | |
Cheryl from Ayrshire and her nephew
Logan who had a wardrobe malfunction | 0:58:38 | 0:58:44 | |
as he came down the aisle. Katie's
sister-in-law crashed into her car | 0:58:44 | 0:58:49 | |
on the wedding day. Husband told as
they were walking up the eye. We | 0:58:49 | 0:58:53 | |
thank you all couples. We will see
you tomorrow Gordon Ramsay. | 0:58:53 | 0:58:58 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:58:58 | 0:59:00 |
