Hello, friends, and welcome to your cosy, warm, television fire in the | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
corner of the room that is the One Show with Alex Jones and Chris | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
Evans. Forgive me, here is a warning. I will be smug later | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
because this week I found out I am a miles better than Chris at | :00:32. | :00:38. | |
something. What's more, it is to do with cars, and he is gutted. | :00:38. | :00:44. | |
there is a reason that she beat me, OK! Anyway... More of that later, | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
but let's get on to their guests. We are very lucky that the one | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
shows studio is on the first floor because Lady Agnes Holland does not | :00:52. | :00:58. | |
do downstairs. Let's hear it for the star of Upstairs Downstairs, | :00:58. | :01:06. | |
Keeley Hawes. Good evening. She is very beautiful, isn't she? Thank | :01:06. | :01:12. | |
you. What is better, upstairs or downstairs? Where would you prefer | :01:12. | :01:21. | |
to be? Now you are asking. Where would you prefer to be? Upstairs, I | :01:21. | :01:29. | |
think. That is the safe answer at 7:00pm! Also, never mind the BAFTAs | :01:29. | :01:35. | |
on Sunday, he has just been awarded a LAFTA prize for best joke of 2012. | :01:35. | :01:42. | |
Do you want to hear it? Take it away, Tim Vine. Conjunctivitis .com, | :01:42. | :01:50. | |
a sight for sore eyes! He once broke the record for one-liners in | :01:50. | :01:57. | |
an hour, 499. He knows so many jokes he could go on all night. | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
on the butlers, they can take it but cannot dish it out. I have a | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
friend to as a butler and his left arm is missing. Serves him right. | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
Black beauty, he is a dark horse. Exit signs, they are on the way out. | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
I went to Alcoholics Anonymous and he said, you want gamblers | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
Anonymous. I said, you are probably right, I never know where I am. | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
have to stop him, because we would get the biggest ratings ever and we | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
would be out of the job. And yet another special guest. Cumin, | :02:30. | :02:38. | |
special guest number three. Welcome to the programme. Sit down. You | :02:38. | :02:46. | |
look lovely as well. Thank you. What is your name? Bronwyn Taylor. | :02:46. | :02:55. | |
Where are you from? Inverness. I am 16. What are you studying? | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
Hairdressing. Why do you think she is here? We will give you another | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
clue. There is a shiny van parked outside, and she will be giving us | :03:04. | :03:10. | |
a lift in it later, but she will not be driving it could. Bath -- | :03:10. | :03:18. | |
she will not be driving it. That was dramatic. The big freeze has us | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
in its clutches and it looks like it will be here for a while. | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
latest tactic is through -- freezing rain. We are slipping in | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
all of the wrong directions. Yesterday, we put pedal to the | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
metal to find out there who was the best in the pilot for our brand new | :03:34. | :03:42. | |
hit show, driving on ice. I love driving. Skidding on ice, I am not | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
sure about that. We are in the perfect place to practise. Is it a | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
good idea to drive on this? Most of it is about what goes on under here. | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
This is an environmental testing facility, where manufacturers' test | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
vehicles. I am here to find out exactly what you should remember | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
before you even start your car. This is a real car. This is real | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
ice. How come? Because it is absolutely freezing in here. In | :04:10. | :04:16. | |
fact, it is below freezing. A quick guide. Give us three tips for cold | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
starting. You need to give your battery charged. Second, anti- | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
freeze. Make sure your anti-freeze is up to the right level. Third, | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
screen wash, make sure it does not freeze when you squirt it on. | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
freeze is very important. We have four containers with different | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
levels of anti-freeze. This one is 50%, which will keep your engine | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
caul. This end, it is frozen solid, only 5%. We like these, but not | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
these. On a cold day, your engine can still overheat. If you do not | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
have coolant going around, you will overheat the engine and break it. | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
Check your levels. Engine, sorted. Next, how to keep your cool while | :05:02. | :05:09. | |
driving on ice. What are we doing here? Imagine your journey to work. | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
We will go round some Benz and round a roundabout and see how you | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
get on. Is it a competition? will time it, but it is about | :05:19. | :05:25. | |
safety, so you will be fined for knocking over cones. Not that your | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
competitive! Come on, Wales, England. Luckily, I have an | :05:30. | :05:36. | |
advantage, winter tyres. Once the temperature gets below seven | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
degrees centigrade, normal rubber starts to be less pliable. Imagine | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
this was a normal day. You would give it some gas as you pull away, | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
and feel what happens. Can you feel it slipping? Now, move away with no | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
gas, and it has found the grip. is giving the car a chance to grip | :05:56. | :06:03. | |
the road. Bring the wheel round quite hard. Did you feel it going? | :06:03. | :06:10. | |
Yes. What you did, as it skidded, you turn a bit tighter. As it skids, | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
bring the steering off and then tried turning. Come in here. Hard | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
steel left. And now bring the wheel back slightly. And then back on | :06:20. | :06:28. | |
again. When you bring you back, it will get a grip. Lets go. Put the | :06:28. | :06:36. | |
time on it. Let's go. How is my driving? Pretty good, actually, | :06:36. | :06:45. | |
Alex. I feel quite safe. I have stopped the clock. Many of the One | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
Show viewers have opinions about what to do while driving in the ice. | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
Don't use the brakes, use your ears to slow down, keep the car pointing | :06:53. | :07:00. | |
in the right direction. Are they right? There is nothing wrong with | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
using the brakes, but yanking on the brakes will give you a problem. | :07:05. | :07:13. | |
It is not going anywhere, is it? That is just slipping away. It is | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
the slowest thing you have ever seen. He is like an old man. My | :07:17. | :07:27. | |
grandfather could go round quicker. Come on! It is not going very well. | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
That is a penalty for the cones. did not knock it over, I just hit | :07:32. | :07:42. | |
:07:42. | :07:46. | ||
it a bit. Beat that, winter tyres. What? Shall we have the Times. | :07:46. | :07:56. | |
:07:56. | :08:02. | ||
Chris, your lap was... 34 seconds. Shall we have mine? 25 seconds. | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
am sorry. You lose, because the sound effects of the cheering was | :08:06. | :08:12. | |
played in before you gave out your winning time. OK. You did have the | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
winter tyres. I am just saying. Not that it bothers me at all, but she | :08:18. | :08:26. | |
did. Do you drive in the ice? love driving. Who is better, you or | :08:26. | :08:36. | |
your husband? Me. I think he would agree. Do you have winter tyres? | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
After yesterday, I would strongly suggest a winter tyre. Thank you, | :08:41. | :08:48. | |
motoring expert, Alex Jones. Let's move on to Upstairs Downstairs. | :08:48. | :08:55. | |
Spooks was a long time ago, action, fun-filled. Did you do any stunts? | :08:55. | :09:05. | |
I did some driving on Ashes to Ashes. But not so much on Spooks. | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
We will go on to Upstairs Downstairs now. It is back a week | :09:08. | :09:16. | |
on Sunday, 9:30pm, a slightly changed time. I believe so. | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
last time was not last Christmas but a year ago to Christmas but it | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
was only three episodes. It is back with a proper series. Six episodes, | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
which has given us a chance to get our teeth into it and get to know | :09:28. | :09:34. | |
the characters a lot better. What is the plot this time? What goes | :09:34. | :09:42. | |
on? Much the same as went on in the first three. Do not say that! Give | :09:42. | :09:50. | |
it a chance! It has moved on a couple of years. Les see a bit. | :09:50. | :09:59. | |
This is key in action. Would you ignore this lady? -- key. Will fit | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
into this household in a different way. We come and go through | :10:02. | :10:09. | |
different doors, eat at separate tables, but we all give 165 Eton | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
place as our address. And that means we're on the same side. From | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
now on, I expect your behaviour to reflect that, or how else will be | :10:20. | :10:29. | |
survival war? She is who you want in your Cabinet. We all loved | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
Downton Abbey. I think it is a great programme. But we have seen | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
the first episode of Upstairs Downstairs this afternoon, and I | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
just think that more happens in Upstairs Downstairs. I have never | :10:42. | :10:49. | |
seen Downton Abbey. I am that person. I have never seen it. | :10:49. | :10:57. | |
Well, not as much happens. Maybe that is good. This is building up | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
to World War II. My character, Lady Agnes, comes back and her and Sir | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
Hallam have had another child in the interim. And he has been very | :11:08. | :11:16. | |
busy with work, and he starts to go down a different road, as it were. | :11:16. | :11:26. | |
:11:26. | :11:27. | ||
With whom? With another bird? might be another bird involved. | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
Actually, their marriage is the little bit on the rocks. They are | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
coping with a lot between them. This is good promotional | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
conversation but Alex is this but ask about a monkey. The one thing | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
that you have that Downton Abbey does not have is a monkey. So, is | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
the monkey back? I was taken by the monkey last time. How do you cope | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
with filming with the monkey, because it is apparently quite | :11:51. | :11:57. | |
nasty? There are three of them, like children, you have to swap | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
them around because of their hours. Everyone is furious with them | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
because they earn more than the actors. They have a better union. | :12:06. | :12:12. | |
You cannot look them in the eye. Like Madonna. We have to ask about | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
Jean Marsh, the co-creator of the show, who has not been very well. | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
How is she? She is much better. She came in and we shot some scenes | :12:21. | :12:28. | |
together. She is on the right track. Your rounded vowels made to seem | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
perfectly at home at 165 Eton Square, but this accent was not | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
natural. You have had 10 years of elocution lessons in the past. | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
went to drama school, saw the young, so I had voice lessons. I come from | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
London and my dad is a London cabbie. I was never cockney, but I | :12:48. | :12:56. | |
was ironed out a bit. We have never had some. Incredibly. Never too | :12:56. | :13:02. | |
late. It is great for everyone to have their own accent. Can you give | :13:02. | :13:09. | |
us some tips? One of the things that we used to do, for your vowel | :13:09. | :13:16. | |
sounds it is good to practise with a pencil in your mouth. Maybe you | :13:16. | :13:24. | |
could have one each. Thank you, Miss. You have to say your vowels | :13:24. | :13:34. | |
:13:34. | :13:35. | ||
whilst keeping it in your mouth. That is not bad. Did you ever do | :13:35. | :13:42. | |
the Jaguar one? My father's car is a Jaguar and I drive it rather fast. | :13:42. | :13:48. | |
Take it out for this one. My father's car is a Jaguar and I | :13:48. | :13:55. | |
drive it rather fast. You wouldn't. You are the slowest driver in the | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
world! The slowest driver in the world. A school in Essex has called | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
on an elocution expert, but not in an attempt to get rid of the | :14:04. | :14:13. | |
estuary twang, but to try to open In Great Britain we have many | :14:13. | :14:19. | |
different ways of saying the same thing. For instance the way Bath is | :14:19. | :14:25. | |
pronounced can be different. In a region with a distinctive accent, | :14:25. | :14:31. | |
for some the only way is Essex. want people to say some words in | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
their best Essex accent. Then we can get a real sense of it. Do you | :14:36. | :14:42. | |
know what I mean? What are you like? Shut up, I am on a computer, | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
all right? Worryingly, the next generation are not just speaking | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
like that. They are spelling like that, too, and in Basildon they are | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
doing something about it. This teacher came up with a novel | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
solution. She decided to bring in a private tutor to give the children | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
elocution lessons. It was obvious that the way they were spelling | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
words and writing sentences was indicative of the way that they | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
spoke. For example the word sport, because of the way they say it, | :15:12. | :15:22. | |
:15:22. | :15:24. | ||
they were spelling it with the letter B. And other offenders? Some | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
more tongue twisters now. The rain in Spain it stays mainly on the | :15:28. | :15:38. | |
:15:38. | :15:38. | ||
plane. The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plane. Well done. | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
This elocution teacher works with the children once a week. One more | :15:43. | :15:50. | |
time. We work a lot with exercises which | :15:50. | :15:58. | |
originate from speech therapy. If you take the word thought, and we | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
work on the initial sound. It is teaching them the tongue movements. | :16:01. | :16:08. | |
We have worked on lots of sounds that help them with their spelling. | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
I am learning some interesting techniques. Perhaps I can teach the | :16:11. | :16:21. | |
:16:21. | :16:30. | ||
children something. Can you do the letter a sound? That was very good. | :16:30. | :16:36. | |
And now try hay up. That is right. That is how you say it in | :16:36. | :16:46. | |
Yorkshire! Vowel wants to put your coat on. It means that it is cold | :16:46. | :16:56. | |
:16:56. | :17:02. | ||
outside. Thou wants to put pie coat on. I feel like I am back home! | :17:02. | :17:12. | |
:17:12. | :17:13. | ||
are rolling all our hard work! -- ruining. Lovely! Tim has joined us | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
now. Where do you stand on elocution? I went to the elocution | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
class and this guy strapped me to the chair and put 4000 volts | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
through me. I said that I had come for elocution and is said that is | :17:27. | :17:37. | |
:17:37. | :17:37. | ||
not his vaults of! We were talking about this beforehand. We were not, | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
but let's pretend that we were! It is all to do with text messages. | :17:42. | :17:48. | |
They think that is why they cannot spell. And speak. You don't have a | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
machine gun one-liners for two hours. Not quite that long. That | :17:52. | :17:57. | |
might feel like that. It is 20 minutes. Our research has said two | :17:57. | :18:03. | |
hours! But you have done 500 jokes and power, is that right? I did do | :18:03. | :18:11. | |
that once. -- per hour. But normally I sing songs to break it | :18:11. | :18:21. | |
:18:21. | :18:24. | ||
up. How do you remember it? Well, I learned it! How do I learned? | :18:24. | :18:31. | |
- some comedians can be OK if they get it wrong but yours are precise. | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
Yes, I lose my place quite a lot but people cannot tell. You deliver | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
scattergun, but your tour is called the Chat Show. It is a break from | :18:41. | :18:48. | |
what I have done in the past. I chat to the audience. It is there a | :18:48. | :18:55. | |
desk? The car is not big enough for a desk! I am on tour. We have two | :18:55. | :19:00. | |
chairs, and I bring people out, and I asked you if you are a maths | :19:00. | :19:05. | |
teacher, and if you are then I do a joke about it. My maths teacher | :19:05. | :19:12. | |
told me to draw a square, but I drew a circle and he made me stand | :19:12. | :19:18. | |
in the corner, but I said where was that?! You are like Jeremy Kyle, | :19:18. | :19:26. | |
then? Hopefully a bit more friendly. Jeremy Kyle shouts at people. | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
are you going on this tour? round the country. I think we start | :19:29. | :19:38. | |
in Burnley and the end in Torquay. You are the brother of Jeremy Vine | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
and to get on very well. Can you dish the dirt on him because I work | :19:43. | :19:49. | |
with him? I cannot think of any. There must be some! He is such a | :19:49. | :19:54. | |
hard worker. Does he still run to work every day? I think once in a | :19:54. | :20:00. | |
while. He cycles one day, runs another, walks another, goes hang- | :20:00. | :20:06. | |
gliding on the 4th... OK, we have a challenge for you! Can you make it | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
bigger, longer, can you get more out of your act? Take a joke and | :20:11. | :20:18. | |
make it bigger. I can try. This is probably a perfect example of why I | :20:18. | :20:26. | |
shouldn't do this. Velcro, what a rip-off. That sort of thing. Yes, | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
other comedians get half an hour out of that. Have you noticed | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
Velcro in the shops? It is extraordinary. Terribly highly | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
priced. Personally, whenever I see it at extortionate prices, I think | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
to myself, that will not do. That will not do. In fact I put it even | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
more succinctly than that. I think, but Crowe, what an absolute, and | :20:48. | :20:58. | |
:20:58. | :20:58. | ||
let me make this clear, what an absolute rip-off! -- Velcro. Tell | :20:58. | :21:03. | |
us the car park joke from last year. Was it last year? It was the one | :21:03. | :21:08. | |
before that. The best joke at the Edinburgh Festival. I have just | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
been on a once-in-a-lifetime holiday. I tell you what, never | :21:11. | :21:17. | |
again. What is the car park one? Crime in multi-storey car parks? | :21:17. | :21:23. | |
That is wrong on so many levels. Brilliant! If you have got a one- | :21:23. | :21:32. | |
liner, police said it in and we can read them out. -- please send it in. | :21:32. | :21:38. | |
I cannot help feeling that we are being watched. Are you paranoid? | :21:38. | :21:45. | |
Don't be. It is probably the spy drone that has been watching. | :21:45. | :21:55. | |
Everybody waves. That is incredible. If there were some cheeseburgers | :21:55. | :22:01. | |
that would be brilliant. We can try that later! But what about drones | :22:01. | :22:07. | |
nowadays? We have learned to live with CCTV. | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
We know we are being watched. Some estimates say that we are caught on | :22:12. | :22:18. | |
camera 70 times a day. As a nation, we seem generally to accept that | :22:18. | :22:23. | |
cameras are everywhere. There are 30,000 run by councils and well | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
over 1 million private ones. Many would say it is a small price to | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
pay if it catches criminals. But would we be so relaxed if these | :22:31. | :22:40. | |
things became widespread? They are highs in the sky, unmanned aerial | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
vehicles, and already one police force is using them and others have | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
tested them. Many experts predict that their use will only increase. | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
This one is called a scout, and it is a vertical take-off and landing | :22:53. | :22:58. | |
machine. You can put high- definition video cameras on board, | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
thermal imaging, for example. could be an answer for shrinking | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
police budgets. There are plans to cut the police helicopter numbers | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
by one third. This is stuff when you normally use a helicopter but | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
the cost of this is much lower, presumably? Significantly. A police | :23:15. | :23:22. | |
helicopter is anywhere from �1,000- �15,000 an hour. It is only a few | :23:22. | :23:27. | |
pounds an hour to deploy this. Plus the wages of the operator. It is | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
easy to operate. You touch the screen and it will go to that point | :23:32. | :23:39. | |
on the map, easy as that. Satellite holds it in position. There are | :23:39. | :23:45. | |
some heavy winds, but that is not a problem. These can fly to 4000 ft, | :23:45. | :23:51. | |
with a range of three miles from the operator. In theory they are | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
technically capable of tracking you without you knowing it. I can bring | :23:56. | :24:02. | |
it in to land by itself. Surveillance drones have a longer | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
history than you might think. Unmanned vehicles were first used | :24:06. | :24:08. | |
during the Vietnam war to take photographs and films of enemy | :24:08. | :24:13. | |
targets. They are now mostly used by the military for reconnaissance | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
missions to hostile and dangerous places where it would not be safe | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
to send human pilots. The military have been using them for while, but | :24:21. | :24:28. | |
is it something that the rest of us will have to get used to? There are | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
only about seven drones in the country at the moment but there is | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
a Home Office strategy document in which they talked about expansion. | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
It is only the Civil Aviation Authority holding it back for | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
safety reasons. They have to prove they really are safe and will not | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
fall out of the sky and crush somebody. It is likely to get safe | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
in the next few years and then they will relax about it. How realistic | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
is it that we will see them in our skies in a few years? I think they | :24:55. | :25:01. | |
will be used a lot. The motivator at the moment is the Olympics and | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
security services. If these things take off, campaign groups worry | :25:04. | :25:09. | |
about what they call function creep. Once introduced for the most | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
serious uses, but technology then extends to tackle the trivial. | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
lots of things, they are introduced for a small and reasonable task, | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
then very quickly they are used for a range of other things. Before you | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
know it, there are drones in the sky to see if your dog is in the | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
street. We want to see proper regulation put in place before they | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
are flying around. If they are used to keep the public say from | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
terrorism, I am sure the public would support that reasonable use. | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
These have not been taken up widely so far because of their space | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
regulations and the high cost of training. -- air space regulations. | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
But this is just the start. As they become more technologically | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
advanced, the chances are that we will be seeing them in the skies | :25:56. | :26:01. | |
above was. For the moment, we are safe. This one has run out of | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
batteries! Matt Allwright is with us this | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
evening. Our friendly drone is still picking us up. Civil | :26:10. | :26:15. | |
liberties. This is an issue. What is going on? Supporters of these | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
things say that they only do what police helicopters do, but much | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
more cheaply. They say if you have not done anything wrong, then you | :26:22. | :26:27. | |
have nothing to worry about. What other police doing to make them | :26:27. | :26:33. | |
appear less like spies? At the moment there is only one police | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
force using them at the moment. And the people that make them are | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
saying that they do not need to look like stealth monsters. They | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
can be brightly coloured, obvious, at so not secret spies, but | :26:45. | :26:50. | |
something we can welcome and used positively. It is like James Bond | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
for some people. They look like children's helicopters. Yes, but | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
that looks scary. It is pretty much the same technology, but it has | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
been developed so you can use it in a different way. The uses they are | :27:03. | :27:09. | |
coming up with are incredible. It is not just to violence. Farmers | :27:09. | :27:17. | |
are checking out where fertiliser needs to be used. And lost sheep? | :27:17. | :27:27. | |
:27:27. | :27:29. | ||
Yes. You could Shia the sheep as well! Fits some blades! And with | :27:29. | :27:34. | |
thermal imaging they can be used to keep firefighters say. Merseyside | :27:34. | :27:40. | |
police did not work out so well. They were trialing one, �13,000 | :27:40. | :27:44. | |
worth, up it went, the battery went flat, it landed in the Mersey, and | :27:44. | :27:49. | |
never seen again! But it could have landed on somebody's head. Yes, we | :27:49. | :27:55. | |
must be thankful for that. What else can the quadrocopters do? | :27:55. | :28:00. | |
exciting bit, or the scary but, depending on how you look at it, is | :28:00. | :28:06. | |
that they are becoming autonomous. We have the quadrocopters from the | :28:06. | :28:09. | |
Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. They are not being | :28:09. | :28:13. | |
controlled by human beings. They are tracking that ball, working out | :28:13. | :28:17. | |
where they should be to play ping- pong with each other, without any | :28:17. | :28:23. | |
intervention from us. I don't know how you feel about that. You could | :28:23. | :28:27. | |
think it is amazing or scary. ground-breaking technology has | :28:27. | :28:34. | |
always been hijacked for bad in the end. Everything, any tall that you | :28:34. | :28:38. | |
use is down to whose hands it is in. That is why people but are | :28:38. | :28:40. | |
concerned about this are saying there needs to be legislation first | :28:40. | :28:44. | |
to make sure that the right people use it for the right reasons. | :28:44. | :28:49. | |
all technology. That think they make for 99 ice-creams, that has | :28:49. | :28:53. | |
never been used for bad. That was a suspected weapon of mass | :28:53. | :29:03. | |
:29:03. | :29:07. | ||
destruction! There is also this. Commercially available? Yes, �300. | :29:07. | :29:15. | |
It is called the Parrot and you can fly it using a tablet computer or | :29:15. | :29:20. | |
smartphone. That has got a camera fitted to it. It has got a camera | :29:20. | :29:29. | |
as well! They you are. Move the cable because it is not working. | :29:29. | :29:39. | |
:29:39. | :29:40. | ||
There we go. This is �300. Hold on, let me get it away from expensive | :29:40. | :29:50. | |
:29:50. | :29:53. | ||
presenters! I am going to land it If you go on to do call Earth, you | :29:53. | :29:59. | |
can look at somebody's house to steal from it. -- do call Earth. | :29:59. | :30:03. | |
That is why it they need laws and regulations. You have something | :30:03. | :30:06. | |
here that could be used for good or bad, and maybe it needs a look to | :30:06. | :30:11. | |
make sure it is being used in the right way. The drone has been | :30:11. | :30:17. | |
killed, for now. It is time to reveal what makes our special guest | :30:17. | :30:22. | |
so special. There is Bronwyn, in her natural environment. Shall we | :30:22. | :30:30. | |
go and see her? Your natural environment. Why? I am being called | :30:30. | :30:37. | |
Britain's strongest teenager. qualifications do you have? Three | :30:37. | :30:40. | |
British Under 18 records of bench press, did lift and total weight | :30:41. | :30:50. | |
:30:51. | :30:51. | ||
lifted. I got four gold medals. -- dead lift. How much can you bench? | :30:51. | :30:58. | |
At the Commonwealth Championships, I've bench pressed 50 kilos. | :30:58. | :31:08. | |
:31:08. | :31:08. | ||
are only 16. And your brother is here. He is sporting for you. | :31:08. | :31:16. | |
is your goal? Where do you want to take the power lifting? I would | :31:16. | :31:20. | |
like to continue with the power lifting but I would like the | :31:20. | :31:24. | |
opportunity to compete at the 2016 Olympics in Rio. I am not sure what | :31:24. | :31:29. | |
for, but I would like to keep the doors open. It is interesting how | :31:29. | :31:33. | |
this happened, because you just went along to the gym, training. | :31:33. | :31:38. | |
Tell us the story. My dad used to come home from the gym and Tommy | :31:38. | :31:43. | |
how great he felt and the great results he was seeing, so I asked | :31:43. | :31:49. | |
if I could join the gym. He said, yeah, why not. He spoke to the gym | :31:49. | :31:52. | |
owner who was happy to let the train as long as I was under | :31:52. | :31:57. | |
supervision at all times because I was under 16. And then you discover | :31:57. | :32:05. | |
you were naturally very strong. realised I had a natural strength. | :32:05. | :32:12. | |
Arms, legs? Everything. So you have a choice of what to aim for at the | :32:12. | :32:18. | |
Olympics. Have you seen your body changing? Are you begin your arms? | :32:18. | :32:27. | |
I have put on a bit of muscle. that bother you? No. That is the | :32:27. | :32:32. | |
impressive thing, doing all of this and keeping your nails like that. | :32:32. | :32:36. | |
You have a big competition tomorrow but you are going to do some bench | :32:36. | :32:40. | |
pressing for us. And in between the bench pressing and tomorrow, you | :32:40. | :32:46. | |
are going to tow us in a van. She is going to be pulling us in a van. | :32:46. | :32:52. | |
Even Jay is going to be in it! you want to lie-down? How much are | :32:52. | :33:02. | |
:33:02. | :33:07. | ||
you going to be lifting. 50 kilos, This is about your weight. A bit | :33:07. | :33:17. | |
:33:17. | :33:34. | ||
In action tomorrow. Before the end of this programme, Bronwyn will be | :33:34. | :33:40. | |
pulling us, just for a giggle. How many people can we put in the van? | :33:40. | :33:49. | |
5. And you're going to pull it and ask? Do you always have put one of | :33:49. | :33:56. | |
the cinema. Jay has found a cinema that is taking it further. | :33:56. | :34:00. | |
The classic Friday-night, relaxing with a movie and a pile of cinema | :34:00. | :34:05. | |
snacks. Popcorn, hot dogs, sweets, candy floss, fizzy drinks and | :34:05. | :34:10. | |
nachos. Hardly a magnificent seven of a menu. In fact, where | :34:10. | :34:14. | |
traditional cinema food offerings are concerned, it is the good, the | :34:14. | :34:20. | |
Bad And the ugly. In the early days there was no food in cinemas. It | :34:20. | :34:24. | |
was only in the 1930s Great Depression when American cinema | :34:24. | :34:28. | |
owners realised the potentially Moster profit from the King Kong of | :34:28. | :34:35. | |
Cinema food, popcorn. But Rowley is a top chef on a mission to deliver | :34:35. | :34:39. | |
a blockbuster meals to film lovers. A major cinema chain has recently | :34:39. | :34:45. | |
begun serving his restaurant meals to audiences during the movie. | :34:45. | :34:49. | |
There is no reason why kids coming to the cinema should have to eat | :34:49. | :34:54. | |
junk. Why can't they need something reasonably civilised. So I sit in | :34:54. | :35:00. | |
my seat, pick up the menu and what do I do? You press the button and | :35:00. | :35:04. | |
the steward will come and ask what you would like. You tell them what | :35:04. | :35:09. | |
you would like to start, and then what else you would like, and that | :35:09. | :35:17. | |
is it. It comes very quietly, flowing, nicely. To avoid spoiling | :35:17. | :35:21. | |
the enjoyment of others, the food is served from the back of the | :35:21. | :35:24. | |
cinema by waiters dressed in black, one black plates, and placed on to | :35:25. | :35:28. | |
rubber coated tables to minimise the noise. And that is before | :35:28. | :35:32. | |
thinking about the food, which has to be suitable for eating in the | :35:32. | :35:37. | |
dark. Visual elements are less important. Texture and flavour has | :35:37. | :35:42. | |
to be more important. You have to accentuate the flavour. And you | :35:42. | :35:45. | |
also have to think about what is going to work. Chicken noodle soup | :35:45. | :35:50. | |
is not going to work. But I have questions about eating restaurant | :35:50. | :35:55. | |
food in a cinema. If the film is too good, will it put me off the | :35:55. | :36:01. | |
food. If the food is too good, will it put me off the film? And could I | :36:01. | :36:05. | |
stomach the Texas chainsaw Massacre accompanied by a hope of steak? Do | :36:05. | :36:08. | |
you have to think carefully about the films that you can scream with | :36:08. | :36:16. | |
food? If it is a horror movie in 3D, that may be a challenge to people's | :36:16. | :36:21. | |
willingness to eat food while they saw Sabahs -- buzzing and the limbs | :36:21. | :36:29. | |
are flying. Is their willingness to pay �30 or more for a night out in | :36:29. | :36:34. | |
the cinema? The tickets for the evening show is �18, but, yes, | :36:34. | :36:40. | |
people are now spending �12 on average on food and drink. People | :36:40. | :36:43. | |
combine entertainment with eating for an evening, and actually it | :36:44. | :36:50. | |
works out at pretty good value. may be coming to a cinema near you. | :36:50. | :36:54. | |
If it does well, there are plans to roll it out nationwide, but how | :36:54. | :36:59. | |
willing are we to swap popcorn for a gourmet meal? The cinema is dark, | :36:59. | :37:04. | |
so how would you see what you're eating? It sounds good, I would | :37:04. | :37:09. | |
like that. If you wanted food, you should have done it before, or | :37:09. | :37:18. | |
after. How about my first time as a foodie film critic? Believe me, | :37:18. | :37:23. | |
this is nothing like a box of popcorn or a hot dog with yellow | :37:23. | :37:27. | |
sauce. Little fritters, Italian pork sandwich with fennel and | :37:27. | :37:32. | |
garlic. It is a little odd eating good quality food in front of a | :37:32. | :37:36. | |
cinema screen but I could get used to it. I wonder if I can fit in | :37:36. | :37:43. | |
desert before the end credits. do we think? Are you a fan of | :37:43. | :37:50. | |
eating in the cinema? No. I went recently and four people came in | :37:50. | :37:55. | |
and they brought fish and chips with them and knives and forks. It | :37:55. | :37:59. | |
is just wrong. Did they know they were in the cinema? Who takes | :37:59. | :38:06. | |
knives and forks with them? smell might put you off. They serve | :38:06. | :38:11. | |
a fish and chips at this place that I have just made a film about. | :38:11. | :38:19. | |
take quiet food to the cinema, me and my wife. I went to the cinema | :38:19. | :38:23. | |
the other day and a blog behind me started wailing. I got hit in the | :38:24. | :38:32. | |
head with a harpoon. We have a quiz. We will show film posters and ask | :38:32. | :38:38. | |
you to identify the food associated with the film. Here is the first | :38:38. | :38:48. | |
:38:48. | :38:48. | ||
one. Which food applies to that film? When Harry Met Sally. I am | :38:48. | :38:55. | |
going for the pastrami sandwich. Obviously, the pastrami sandwich | :38:55. | :39:00. | |
was an important scene in the deli in New York, when Meg Ryan's | :39:00. | :39:03. | |
simulated having pleasure and the great line was the woman saying, I | :39:03. | :39:08. | |
will have what she is having. Pastrami has caught on, but we have | :39:08. | :39:13. | |
been served the bad stuff in this country. It is dry and thin. But | :39:13. | :39:19. | |
they are couple of places where you can get proper pastrami. You have | :39:19. | :39:24. | |
been to the place where it happened. There is a big sign they're saying, | :39:24. | :39:34. | |
:39:34. | :39:34. | ||
will you have what she had? No. Two. Alex. Which food? We like a bit of | :39:34. | :39:40. | |
Pretty Woman. It is the snails, of course. Yes, that scene when she is | :39:40. | :39:44. | |
trying to hold onto them with the tongues. Have you had this | :39:44. | :39:53. | |
experience? You squeeze them and they flick out. Do you know what | :39:53. | :40:03. | |
:40:03. | :40:05. | ||
slugs call snails - gypsies. Blazing saddles, which food. Baked | :40:05. | :40:15. | |
:40:15. | :40:17. | ||
beans. Are we allowed to say farting. The great farting scene, | :40:17. | :40:21. | |
we did think this was the first farting scene in cinema but it was | :40:21. | :40:28. | |
not. Her 1932 Japanese silent film included a farting scene. | :40:28. | :40:32. | |
thought it could be confused with this new silent film that is up for | :40:32. | :40:42. | |
:40:42. | :40:48. | ||
all of the Oscars. Tim, Forrest Gump. You are only left with one | :40:48. | :40:56. | |
thing. A bunch of grapes. A box of chocolates. The question, his life | :40:56. | :41:01. | |
like a box of chocolates? I don't think it is. This chocolate went | :41:01. | :41:08. | |
past me the other day. It was a Ferrari. There is no point going | :41:08. | :41:14. | |
anywhere else! All about Hollywood. Are you a big fan, Keeley? I like | :41:14. | :41:19. | |
it. I would not love to live there. I like it here. I would not mind | :41:19. | :41:29. | |
:41:29. | :41:33. | ||
working there. Are you going for the pilot season? Maybe. You are | :41:33. | :41:42. | |
not to averse to Hollywood!. Jay, the competition. We want the best | :41:42. | :41:49. | |
One Show savoury pies. What makes yours the best. Include a picture, | :41:49. | :41:57. | |
details on how to enter on the website with terms and conditions. | :41:57. | :42:07. | |
We have a treat for you, because you have come here on your birthday. | :42:07. | :42:12. | |
# Happy birthday to You # Happy birthday to use | :42:12. | :42:22. | |
:42:22. | :42:28. | ||
# Happy birthday, dear Keeley I am going upstairs. It is a | :42:28. | :42:32. | |
beautiful cake and we will share it with you later. Thank you for | :42:32. | :42:37. | |
coming on your birthday. I always thought you could not sing that | :42:37. | :42:45. | |
song because it was copyrighted by Disney. Now, from a noise in | :42:45. | :42:54. | |
cinemas that you do not want, to one that you do. Sound effects. | :42:54. | :42:58. | |
A film's soundscape is often overlooked as an element of your | :42:58. | :43:03. | |
viewing experience but it is vital, allowing you to immerse yourself in | :43:03. | :43:06. | |
the emotion, tension and scares, often adding huge lead to the | :43:06. | :43:11. | |
experience. You might be surprised to know that most of what you hear | :43:11. | :43:16. | |
in film and television is added to the soundtrack in post-production. | :43:16. | :43:20. | |
Sounds that the microphones could not pick up, like the rustle of | :43:20. | :43:27. | |
clothing, are we created later. out of their at once. You will | :43:27. | :43:33. | |
market with your shoes. Shepperton Studios is home to world-class | :43:33. | :43:36. | |
audio post-production facilities that have attracted everything from | :43:36. | :43:43. | |
James Bond to Harry Potter. Peter and Glen have worked together to | :43:43. | :43:50. | |
help to create many of the soundscapes for these films. I | :43:50. | :43:56. | |
think we should start with a bang. What sort of sound could we make? | :43:56. | :44:06. | |

Why don't we try the explosion from I think the first thing we will go | :44:09. | :44:15. | |
for is the flame effect, the fireballs exploding. Of all things, | :44:15. | :44:21. | |
we will need a plastic bag. Is this going to make me jump? No. There is | :44:21. | :44:25. | |
air trapped in there. I am not going to poppet. When I hit it, it | :44:25. | :44:31. | |
will buffer against the microphone. The explosions would go like this. | :44:31. | :44:35. | |
And then you have the sound of flames flickering at the end. | :44:35. | :44:42. | |
Genius. It is just practice. You go through life listening to things. | :44:42. | :44:45. | |
People underestimate how important the sound is in a film, and the | :44:45. | :44:50. | |
time that goes into it. People just see it on the screen and they | :44:50. | :44:59. | |
As well as the fireball, which I have just done, I get my trusty | :44:59. | :45:06. | |
mallet and in sync with what is happening on the screen, I do that. | :45:06. | :45:12. | |
This is just a normal roller blind. And she used that to make sound for | :45:12. | :45:22. | |
:45:22. | :45:22. | ||
a film? Why on earth have you got that? That is the sound of the | :45:22. | :45:32. | |
:45:32. | :45:46. | ||
winds. It is just cloth. Glenn's role is to layer and | :45:46. | :45:50. | |
enhance the sounds to create the audio effect. For the Harry Potter | :45:50. | :45:54. | |
movies there are magic creatures, which are not really there, | :45:54. | :46:00. | |
computer-generated. We have to do the noises for those as well. | :46:00. | :46:07. | |
will not save you now, Harry Potter. It only obeys me. As you can see, | :46:07. | :46:12. | |
there are lots of layers. Splashing water and footsteps, but if we | :46:12. | :46:20. | |
concentrate on the basilisk, he goes through water. We dive him | :46:20. | :46:27. | |
into water first. We have already made a mess on the floor, so we | :46:27. | :46:32. | |
might as well do his belly running along the floor. More water down. | :46:32. | :46:42. | |
:46:42. | :46:50. | ||
More sand, maybe, to make that pretty sound. -- sound of grit. | :46:50. | :46:55. | |
is simple but so effective. It is an audio pollution. I am making a | :46:55. | :47:02. | |
sound which suggests a snake to people. Next time you are jumping | :47:02. | :47:08. | |
out of your cinema seat, remember that it is probably thanks to the | :47:08. | :47:10. | |
skill of people like this, and their creative use of surprising | :47:11. | :47:15. | |
props. Angellica is here for the first | :47:15. | :47:20. | |
time since giving birth to her beautiful baby boy. Congratulations. | :47:20. | :47:25. | |
How are you feeling? Really good. new look very well. I am wearing | :47:25. | :47:30. | |
black to hide a multitude of sins. You look gorgeous. Hello to Michael | :47:30. | :47:36. | |
as well. Is he watching? Yes, and he is watching with the baby, who | :47:36. | :47:41. | |
should be in bed! We are talking about sound effects in films. Like | :47:41. | :47:47. | |
the dinosaurs, these Foley, are they an endangered species with the | :47:47. | :47:54. | |
gimmicky technology? Most films have a library of sound effects | :47:54. | :48:01. | |
that they can use but sounds cannot always be recreating it. Foley | :48:01. | :48:11. | |
:48:11. | :48:11. | ||
artists will be around for while and they are indispensable. The | :48:11. | :48:16. | |
dinosaur eggs hatching in Jurassic Park was made by squelching melons | :48:16. | :48:20. | |
and ice cream cones. They go through and think about what can be | :48:20. | :48:26. | |
used and what cannot. They are very good. And on the theme of the | :48:26. | :48:30. | |
weather, you have some examples of creating crunching ice and snow. | :48:30. | :48:35. | |
Can you hold the microphone, Tim? Recreate the sound of walking on | :48:35. | :48:45. | |
:48:45. | :48:46. | ||
snow. Foley artists use cornflour. CRUNCHING. | :48:46. | :48:53. | |
That does sound like walking on snow! I don't want to make a mess. | :48:53. | :49:03. | |
:49:03. | :49:04. | ||
She is very tidy. She is a mum now! And now ice braking. Close your | :49:04. | :49:14. | |
:49:14. | :49:14. | ||
eyes. Does that sound like ice breaking? They have to turn it up. | :49:15. | :49:20. | |
The kids are loving it! They use lots of creative things. Are you up | :49:20. | :49:27. | |
for a challenge, Tim? Certainly am. You should be quite good at this, | :49:27. | :49:33. | |
Angellica, because you have been with the experts. Oh, no! This is | :49:33. | :49:38. | |
just a game! Keeley, you are in the film business, can you judge them? | :49:38. | :49:48. | |
Go over there and joined Jay. front of Jay, Angellica and Tim, | :49:48. | :49:52. | |
some props. We have taken some scenes from Upstairs Downstairs and | :49:52. | :49:56. | |
removed the sound. They have to recreate the sound using whichever | :49:56. | :50:03. | |
prop they think fits best. This is your scene, Jay. Watch for the | :50:03. | :50:07. | |
perfume and collect your prop. won this in her Ladyship's bed, 18 | :50:07. | :50:17. | |
:50:17. | :50:18. | ||
inches from the bottom, slightly to the left. What is that? She went | :50:18. | :50:23. | |
off Shalom off. We have taken out the sound of the dirty nappies | :50:23. | :50:33. | |
:50:33. | :50:34. | ||
falling into the sink in this one. Take the nappies alt. -- out. I am | :50:34. | :50:43. | |
getting used to it already. Tim, your go. This scene comes from an | :50:43. | :50:50. | |
intense dinner dance downstairs and the soundtrack adds to the tension. | :50:50. | :51:00. | |
:51:00. | :51:13. | ||
I wonder whether you might pass the Are you ready? Have you selected | :51:13. | :51:23. | |

salt? BUMP, BUMP. | :52:20. | :52:27. | |
What do you think? It has got to be Angellica! The nappies. They will | :52:27. | :52:33. | |
be hearing that sand for a long time to come. So tasty years ago | :52:33. | :52:36. | |
today anybody heading into Bristol city centre would have seen | :52:36. | :52:42. | |
something strange. -- 60 years ago. World War Two was over, and Dan | :52:42. | :52:48. | |
Snow, who I love, has been meeting the people prepared to deal with it. | :52:48. | :52:50. | |
This is post-war Britain. The streets are littered with | :52:50. | :52:54. | |
casualties. The rescue services are stretched to the limit as they deal | :52:54. | :52:59. | |
with the horror of an atomic bomb. But this was just a marks a narrow | :52:59. | :53:09. | |
:53:09. | :53:18. | ||
and it was called Exercise Medusa. -- this was just a mop up. By 1961 | :53:18. | :53:23. | |
there was a more devastating threat than the Blitz. Nuclear warfare. | :53:23. | :53:27. | |
The scenes witnessed at Hiroshima, when the Government knew they were | :53:27. | :53:32. | |
unprepared and something had to be done. Bristol became the very first | :53:32. | :53:38. | |
city to try to construct the potential devastation that would | :53:38. | :53:42. | |
follow an atomic attack. Exercise Medusa outlined how Bristol would | :53:42. | :53:46. | |
deal with the aftermath. The two- day event would bring together | :53:46. | :53:50. | |
Britain's armed forces with ordinary members of the public who | :53:50. | :53:53. | |
joined the Civil Defence Corps. They were trained to do crucial job | :53:53. | :53:56. | |
site first date, fired events and rescue work. They were ready to do | :53:56. | :54:06. | |
:54:06. | :54:06. | ||
their bit. -- like first aid, fire events. We found this footage of a | :54:06. | :54:13. | |
gene working on the day. What was your role? I was a fake a casualty. | :54:13. | :54:20. | |
I had glass in my face and blood running down. We picked spots in | :54:20. | :54:26. | |
the rubble and waited to be rescued. Unfortunately I was never found. I | :54:26. | :54:32. | |
would still be there to this day if it had been real! Was it exciting? | :54:32. | :54:40. | |
In a way it was fun. Although the training was taken seriously. | :54:40. | :54:45. | |
this time a shop snowstorm had added an extra trial, giving it the | :54:45. | :54:53. | |
grimly realistic atmosphere. Did it feel important at the time? It was | :54:53. | :54:56. | |
important to know that perhaps we were ready if something drastic | :54:56. | :55:00. | |
happened. One of the crucial job that volunteers were trained to do | :55:00. | :55:07. | |
was to detect radiation. If the nuclear bomb had gone off, you | :55:07. | :55:12. | |
would have been walking around with the Geiger counter? Yes. If it was | :55:12. | :55:19. | |
too much, we had to back away. That was what the counter was for. | :55:19. | :55:23. | |
Hiroshima had been destroyed by a nuclear bomb just six years before, | :55:23. | :55:27. | |
so everybody had a clear idea of the devastating consequences of an | :55:27. | :55:33. | |
atomic attack. Was it just propaganda, what was happening in | :55:34. | :55:39. | |
Bristol? Exercises like this were creating the impression of an | :55:39. | :55:42. | |
atomic war which could be survived and managed. At the same time they | :55:42. | :55:46. | |
genuinely believed that training like this would save lives in an | :55:46. | :55:49. | |
atomic war. Surely there is not much you can do if a nuclear bomb | :55:50. | :55:54. | |
goes off? There was not in the 1950s. The atomic bomb is an | :55:54. | :55:57. | |
enormous weapon, but within one mile of the epicentre there would | :55:57. | :56:01. | |
have been enormous numbers of people who would have survived. | :56:01. | :56:05. | |
volunteers in Bristol, the threat of an attack was very real and they | :56:05. | :56:15. | |
:56:15. | :56:15. | ||
wanted to be ready. Why did you join the defence corps? With the | :56:15. | :56:19. | |
Cold War, I thought it was very useful to help people. When you | :56:19. | :56:22. | |
went to the pictures, did you see her Russian on the news reels? | :56:22. | :56:29. | |
was sickening. -- Hiroshima. you think you're making a | :56:29. | :56:36. | |
difference? Yes, I wanted to help the people that were alive. With | :56:36. | :56:40. | |
hindsight, would it have helped if a nuclear bomb had gone out? | :56:40. | :56:44. | |
this had really been a nuclear explosion, I don't think we could | :56:44. | :56:50. | |
have gone in there because life would have been finished. Just four | :56:50. | :56:55. | |
years after operation Medusa, a top-secret Government document | :56:55. | :56:59. | |
revealed the true devastation that the new hydrogen bomb could cause. | :56:59. | :57:04. | |
The focus moved to deterrent. The Defence Corps continued until 1968 | :57:04. | :57:08. | |
but its role became more about reassuring the public. Their | :57:08. | :57:12. | |
efforts may seem naive now, but in fact they are testament to the | :57:12. | :57:16. | |
lengths to which ordinary people, like the volunteers in Bristol, | :57:16. | :57:20. | |
were prepared to go, to protect their cities in the face of a | :57:20. | :57:25. | |
terrifying threat. Thank you. We are outside and | :57:25. | :57:31. | |
Bronwyn is in her vest. Very brave. She is also strapped to the harness | :57:31. | :57:36. | |
attached to the van that she is attempting to pull. Keeley and Tim, | :57:36. | :57:44. | |
go to the finish line with the ribbon. Is that OK? Yes. Matt, get | :57:44. | :57:52. | |
in the van, please. Keeley's mum, in the van. Which do you want to | :57:52. | :58:00. | |
pull? Both of them! Double jeopardy failed. She is up for it! You are | :58:01. | :58:05. | |
going to pull and then we are done. It is about three tonnes. Off you | :58:05. | :58:15. | |
