:00:19. > :00:23.Hello, welcome to The One Show with Alex Jones... And Matt Baker.
:00:23. > :00:27.Coming up, we will be talking to Andy Murray's grandparents about
:00:27. > :00:35.his big win at the US Open. guest is a newshound turned
:00:35. > :00:41.novelist, brushing up on ABBA pits for her latest role. It's Penny
:00:41. > :00:46.Smith! We will be talking about a ABBA shortly. It has been the most
:00:46. > :00:49.phenomenal summer of sport. With Andy Murray last night? It started
:00:49. > :00:55.with Bradley Wiggins, ends with Andy Murray. It's one of those
:00:55. > :01:01.things where you go, I was here in London, in the summer of 2012.
:01:01. > :01:07.are obviously proud, because you have the Union flag on your T-shirt.
:01:07. > :01:12.Did you stay at last night to watch it? No, I was at Claire Balding's
:01:12. > :01:16.book launch. I thought I would drop that name in! On the way home, I
:01:16. > :01:20.was following on Twitter. I went to bed at about 12 o'clock thinking,
:01:20. > :01:24.you know what, he's going to do that then that he generally does
:01:24. > :01:29.where he goes to the final wire. How brilliant was that? I woke up
:01:30. > :01:35.and went, wow, what a great time to be Team GB. You are going to love
:01:35. > :01:41.this, we can go live to his home town of Dunblane to speak to his
:01:41. > :01:51.grandparents. You must be on cloud nine at the moment? Absolutely. It
:01:51. > :01:51.
:01:51. > :01:56.has been a fantastic day. It's been a long day! How was last night? You
:01:56. > :02:04.must have watched it at home. After 1 o'clock, were you getting
:02:04. > :02:10.nervous? Not really. We had just watched it at home, on our own,
:02:10. > :02:16.just the two of us and a dog. After the first set, I took it out for a
:02:16. > :02:19.walk. When I came back, he was winning it the second set and then
:02:19. > :02:29.he started to lose. I thought, I'm going to go back out again and walk
:02:29. > :02:34.
:02:34. > :02:42.the dog. But I didn't, I watched it until the end. We are not able to
:02:42. > :02:48.jump about. Not nowadays. We are not really in the first flush. I
:02:48. > :02:56.have a very comfy armchair. Surely, what has the reaction been like in
:02:56. > :03:01.Dunblane? Quite incredible. We really haven't had time to go down
:03:01. > :03:07.to the village today. We live right on the golf course. There have been
:03:07. > :03:12.out, waving, coming into the garden and congratulated us, wishing us
:03:12. > :03:16.well. Cars are stopping, the sports club has been buzzing today. It has
:03:16. > :03:23.been lovely. We are very grateful for the tremendous support.
:03:23. > :03:32.Congratulations. We have seen an awful lot of the press, I must say.
:03:32. > :03:37.They have been around since 6:45am. This is the last one! We will let
:03:37. > :03:44.you go back to that comfy armchair. And you can go and take a dog for a
:03:44. > :03:47.walk. Thanks for joining us. If you were up to watch Murray last
:03:47. > :03:55.night, send a picture of yourself, may be looking a little bit bleary
:03:55. > :03:58.eyed because it finished at around 3 o'clock. Send your message for
:03:58. > :04:01.Andy to theoneshow@bbc.co.uk. Now, a touching story of how older
:04:01. > :04:04.people in this country that have time on their hands and bags of
:04:04. > :04:08.expertise are putting it to good use helping young people living
:04:08. > :04:11.thousands of miles away. It is known as the Granny Cloud. If you
:04:11. > :04:15.are one of those people that are slightly sceptical about the
:04:15. > :04:25.benefits of the internet, we know that you are out there, you might
:04:25. > :04:25.
:04:25. > :04:32.This is Jackie Barrow. She lives in the village of Diggle, near Alton.
:04:32. > :04:36.She also happens to be a teacher with a difference. Today I was
:04:36. > :04:40.going to ask you, do you know what this sign is for? Her pupils are
:04:40. > :04:45.not here on the edge of the Pennines, they are in a classroom
:04:45. > :04:48.thousands of miles away on a different Continent. Four years ago,
:04:48. > :04:53.she was one of the first people to join a project that matches
:04:53. > :05:01.volunteers willing to teach with children who are hungry to learn.
:05:01. > :05:04.Hi! For at least one hour week, she speaks with a group of
:05:04. > :05:12.disadvantaged children in India through Skype, children that she
:05:12. > :05:22.has never met. This is Anita. Do you want to say hello? Hello!
:05:22. > :05:25.know these two boys very well. Can you wave? The point of the project,
:05:25. > :05:30.affectionately dubbed the Granny Cloud, is to improve their English
:05:30. > :05:38.and raised expectations of what they can achieve. Do you want a
:05:38. > :05:48.story today? Can you read the title? Good! When you are boxing,
:05:48. > :05:53.
:05:53. > :05:59.you could say... Biff! Bop! Jackie used to be a teacher but suffered a
:05:59. > :06:05.heart attack and was forced to take early retirement. How old were you?
:06:05. > :06:09.55. I had no warning. I was in a state of shock. You have come
:06:09. > :06:13.across this project, Granny Cloud, even though you want a grandmother?
:06:13. > :06:23.I confessed right at the beginning! There was an article asking for
:06:23. > :06:27.volunteers. It was asking for people to be so -- surrogate
:06:27. > :06:33.grandmothers to people in India. This one is hockey. I think because
:06:33. > :06:38.I retired early, I obviously have got skills I developed during my
:06:38. > :06:43.working life, to find something that I could use those skills for
:06:43. > :06:47.was very exciting and rewarding. What do you get from it? You see
:06:47. > :06:52.these children and their wonderful, smiling faces. They are so
:06:53. > :06:57.enthusiastic, always. Very quickly, you get involved in what is going
:06:57. > :07:03.on. The fact that they log on, week after week, makes you feel that
:07:03. > :07:13.they must value it. Boys, how do you like Jackie? What do you think
:07:13. > :07:15.
:07:15. > :07:20.of her? You are very nice! Very loving. Do you get to learn much
:07:20. > :07:23.about the boys, where they live, what schools they go to? I know
:07:23. > :07:27.that they live in a slum, not far from where the centre is. Other
:07:27. > :07:33.than that, my role is bringing something from the outside to share
:07:33. > :07:39.with them. But the kids are about to get a surprise of their life, as
:07:39. > :07:44.their next session with Jackie will be in person, in India. To walk
:07:44. > :07:50.into a room and meet them is just going to be fantastic. Forget
:07:50. > :07:54.Jackanory, this is Jackie's story! Her excitement is already
:07:54. > :07:57.outgrowing her suitcase. I was going to put all the things I am
:07:57. > :08:02.taking for them in my hand luggage, but it has come over the top
:08:02. > :08:06.already. In the past, I have shown them things that I do with felt.
:08:06. > :08:10.Hopefully, I am going to teach them how to do it. They have seen a lot
:08:10. > :08:15.of photographs of where I live. I have put them together in a book.
:08:15. > :08:21.think you are about to have a life- changing experience. I hope so. I
:08:21. > :08:25.think so. I wish you were coming with us. I wish I was, but you
:08:25. > :08:30.don't need me, you are going to be fined. You can go it alone. Next
:08:30. > :08:40.time, Jackie's arrival in India is met with great excitement. But does
:08:40. > :08:42.
:08:42. > :08:52.Anita is here. That is an incredible idea. How did the Granny
:08:52. > :08:58.Cloud concept start? A very clever man at the Costa University,
:08:58. > :09:01.Professor Sugata Mitra, a professor in technology, he says children get
:09:01. > :09:04.their most encouragement from grandmothers. He got a bit of
:09:04. > :09:09.funding and decided to set this very basic system app, a very
:09:09. > :09:13.obvious thing that we can do with technology. People in poverty-
:09:13. > :09:17.stricken part of India, with no access to formal education, they
:09:17. > :09:22.can go to after-school clubs, sit around the computer and communicate
:09:22. > :09:28.with women in the UK. You don't have to be a granny. You can see
:09:28. > :09:32.from their faces, the reaction. What kind of impact is that having?
:09:32. > :09:37.It is huge for these children. I spent an hour with Jackie and they
:09:37. > :09:42.were hanging on every word. Their English is improving, but also they
:09:42. > :09:46.are able to beat aspiring to things that they haven't been able to
:09:46. > :09:51.default. It is opening their World Cup. It is just encouraging them to
:09:51. > :09:55.do things that they wouldn't be able to do. -- their World Cup.
:09:55. > :09:59.Jackie is getting a lot out of this. If anybody is sitting at home and
:09:59. > :10:04.thinking, I would like to give that ago, is it easy? It's so simple,
:10:04. > :10:09.you can go on to the website and there is a link. What would you
:10:09. > :10:19.like to teach? I'm not implying that you are a granny! Thank you,
:10:19. > :10:26.very kind. I'm a bit of a grammar Nazi. I would be going, right,'s
:10:26. > :10:33.used wrongly, that is my particular... Stop it! 1960s is a
:10:33. > :10:43.parole! I can't even reply to badly spelled tweets. I correct their
:10:43. > :10:46.
:10:46. > :10:51.grammar first. Tune in tomorrow to This year marks 100 years of the IQ
:10:51. > :11:01.test. It is worth noting that women, for the first time, are scoring
:11:01. > :11:02.
:11:03. > :11:11.higher than men since records began. How did the IQ Test start in the
:11:11. > :11:15.This is one of the first ever IQ tests, tests of your intelligence
:11:15. > :11:25.quotient. It is putting the right shapes into the right shades. It
:11:25. > :11:26.
:11:26. > :11:30.doesn't look too bad. Let's see how I do. Easy! Well, maybe not. This
:11:31. > :11:34.test is about 100 years old and part of a collection of
:11:34. > :11:39.intelligence tests at the Science Museum in London. I knew I should
:11:39. > :11:49.have got more Lego as a child. Part of the collection is hidden away in
:11:49. > :11:49.
:11:49. > :11:59.storage vaults, but we are allowed in specially. I am thick, aren't I?
:11:59. > :12:00.
:12:00. > :12:08.11.31. That sounds terrible. would have worried if you hadn't
:12:08. > :12:10.given up. This is an early test. Psychologists realise that if you
:12:10. > :12:16.frustrate the subject until they give up, you're not measuring
:12:16. > :12:21.anything apart from frustration. It's an annoying little thing. The
:12:21. > :12:25.term intelligence quotient, or IQ, was first coined in 1912 by a
:12:25. > :12:30.German psychologist called William Stern. He wanted to come up with a
:12:30. > :12:33.scoring system that defined a child's intelligence. Psychologists
:12:33. > :12:37.at the beginning of the 20th century were interested in finding
:12:37. > :12:41.out where children belonged on a scale. If they were somehow smarter
:12:41. > :12:46.or slower than their age. He came up with the idea that you could
:12:46. > :12:49.divide the mental age of a child, that they got on the test, by the
:12:49. > :12:53.chronological age and that would give you a number that would tell
:12:53. > :12:58.you if they were above or below average for that age. It was
:12:58. > :13:02.originally for children? Yes. tests took the form of puzzles that
:13:03. > :13:08.got increasingly difficult for each age group. At the same time in
:13:08. > :13:11.America, puzzles were being used on adults. Public health doctors at
:13:11. > :13:14.the Ellis Island Immigration Service in the United States were
:13:14. > :13:20.trying to evaluate people coming into the United States. They wanted
:13:20. > :13:24.to see who was at the lower end of the scale and, therefore, who
:13:24. > :13:29.should not be allowed into the country. If you failed one of these
:13:29. > :13:33.tests, you would not be allowed in? Probably if you failed a few.
:13:33. > :13:43.is a challenge for me, let's see if I can get this right. I'm doing
:13:43. > :13:50.better on this one. Oh, no. I've got two left. Quite proud. Are you
:13:50. > :13:55.letting me in? During World War I, more sophisticated tests were
:13:55. > :13:59.devised to assess the capabilities of the American troops. One of the
:13:59. > :14:03.young researchers behind the test was a man called David Wexler, who
:14:03. > :14:10.later devised the prototype for the IQ tests that we know today. By now,
:14:10. > :14:13.a score of 100 to find average intelligence. What we have in the
:14:13. > :14:16.collection are some examples of the earliest versions of the test. In
:14:16. > :14:21.some cases, their poll words from the dictionary and grade them
:14:21. > :14:25.according to difficulty. Can you define Breakfast? A meal at the
:14:25. > :14:31.start of the day. A bacon sandwich, probably. The highest one,
:14:31. > :14:35.travesty? Me doing that test, with those shapes. You clearly do better
:14:35. > :14:42.on verbal questions. They also had ones that were more to do with
:14:42. > :14:48.numbers. This one is called picture completion. What is missing?
:14:48. > :14:56.bridge on the glasses? Yes. might argue that IQ tests are more
:14:56. > :15:00.to do with being good with puzzles than being intelligence. It been
:15:00. > :15:04.controversial for years, but it is still used in some schools to
:15:04. > :15:08.assess children and, increasingly, at work to evaluate potential
:15:08. > :15:13.employee is. They are mainly used to assess an individual's capacity
:15:13. > :15:16.to deal with information, take on new information and reason and
:15:16. > :15:20.solve problems. But they are only part of the story. You would
:15:20. > :15:23.necessarily want to bring somebody in if they haven't also got the
:15:23. > :15:27.ability to interact well with colleagues, if they did not bring
:15:27. > :15:30.with them great courage, resilience and strength and energy into the
:15:30. > :15:40.workplace. There are so many other things, in addition to IQ, that
:15:40. > :15:41.
:15:41. > :15:45.I started the film with an IQ test from 100 years ago, so it is only
:15:45. > :15:51.fitting that I ended with a test from today. Which Sheikh is the odd
:15:51. > :15:58.one out? I got it right, but will you? There will be cries of lots of
:15:58. > :16:08.different letters from around the nation. What do you think? No. A?
:16:08. > :16:14.You are correct. It is a letter, not a number, A. All right, we will
:16:14. > :16:22.move on! Exciting news, you are starring in a gala performance of
:16:22. > :16:28.Mamma Mia. I know! It is me and Anneka Rice and Vanessa Feltz, and
:16:29. > :16:33.we are doing at Waterloo, which is the final song. I have just had a
:16:33. > :16:37.terrible fright! Because it is tomorrow night, and we have hardly
:16:37. > :16:42.done any rehearsing. Is it like the classic Children in Need, hit-and-
:16:42. > :16:47.hope? I am just going to carry on smiling, if the worst comes to the
:16:47. > :16:53.worst, I will just fall of the stage, hide behind somebody else.
:16:53. > :17:02.So you have been rehearsing, can you give us a glass? I have to have
:17:02. > :17:11.a microphone! # At Waterloo, Napoleon did
:17:11. > :17:15.surrender. I think that is enough. Brilliant!
:17:16. > :17:20.You should see our microphones, they are all glittery, so exciting.
:17:20. > :17:25.The outfits are marvellous. Anneka Rice was saying this is a Jim'll
:17:25. > :17:30.Fix It thing, she is beyond excited. Vanessa is so tired, because she
:17:30. > :17:35.does about 7,000 jobs, yeah, whatever, we will do that, I will
:17:35. > :17:39.remember that. She has got an IQ of about 3,000. Did it take a lot to
:17:39. > :17:48.encourage you to do this? The phone call came, do you fancy doing this?
:17:48. > :17:53.I went, yeah, that was about it. would have fancied it! Any excuse
:17:53. > :18:01.to get up there. And the outfit, I tried it on the day after they had
:18:01. > :18:07.figured it out. I am playing Donna, so I am kind of in the yellow-green,
:18:07. > :18:13.sort of slightly yellow version of that. There You are in or York
:18:13. > :18:19.Glory. Look at that, that was this morning. Look at those little
:18:19. > :18:23.things on the bottom mayor. Not my bottom! Yes, it is going to be very
:18:23. > :18:27.exciting. He said one of your highlights was interviewing Pierce
:18:27. > :18:33.Brosnan and Meryl Streep, who were in the film. Have you taken any
:18:33. > :18:39.inspiration from them? Oh, I am going to be out-Meryl Streep Meryl
:18:39. > :18:44.Streep, of course I am! And he did not releasing, could he? No, bless
:18:44. > :18:50.him. What we are doing, we are doing our dances with the people
:18:50. > :18:54.who are doing the other characters, and so they are coming alongside us,
:18:54. > :18:59.and then we have got the blokes coming along as well, little pots
:18:59. > :19:04.of threes. We have got a little bit of help, that is the choreography,
:19:04. > :19:08.but it will probably go out of the window, we will probably be doing
:19:08. > :19:11.freelance kind of madness or something. The good news is that
:19:11. > :19:18.there are tickets available, and you can see Penny singing her heart
:19:18. > :19:22.out. And Anneka Rice and Vanessa Feltz! That is in Mamma Mia to
:19:22. > :19:28.support Children in Need, tomorrow night at the Novello Theatre in
:19:28. > :19:32.London. You will be fine. figures out today suggests that the
:19:32. > :19:36.price of petrol is back up to near record levels. Lucy Siegle has
:19:36. > :19:46.spent time on a supertanker that has enough crude oil on board that,
:19:46. > :19:47.
:19:47. > :19:50.once refined, could keep your car In its raw form, crude oil is of
:19:50. > :19:55.little use to us, but once it is refined, it powers our world. When
:19:55. > :20:00.it comes to extracting it, the UK is the largest producer in the EU.
:20:00. > :20:03.Even though it may be found in UK waters, we do not actually own it,
:20:03. > :20:08.and the government only has the power to tax the companies to
:20:08. > :20:12.extract it. Once they pay their taxes, the companies will sell on
:20:12. > :20:18.the open market to the highest bidder. The trade always refers to
:20:18. > :20:21.prices in terms of barrels. This is a barrel. It carries enough crude
:20:21. > :20:28.to produce petrol for 900 miles worth of driving, from London to
:20:28. > :20:32.Vienna. Last year, we used 534 million of these in the UK. Around
:20:32. > :20:36.367 barrels were produced out of UK waters in the same year. Even if we
:20:36. > :20:41.hung on to every drop, it would still not be enough. That leaves us
:20:41. > :20:46.having to import around 380 million barrels into the UK just to keep us
:20:46. > :20:50.going. On the open market, it is a question of supply and demand. This
:20:50. > :20:53.means getting the right sort of oil from the platform, to the refinery,
:20:53. > :20:57.and then on to the countries where it is needed. That is the key to
:20:57. > :21:01.making money, lots of it. Keeping oil flowing around the world
:21:01. > :21:06.requires a massive feat of logistics that the entire world is
:21:06. > :21:09.dependent on, and that is where these things come in. This tanker
:21:09. > :21:16.has just docked at the refinery at Milford Haven in west Wales with
:21:16. > :21:19.its precious cargo all the way from Liberia. It is around 245 metres in
:21:19. > :21:25.length, and it's hell is thought to the brim with nearly 600,000
:21:25. > :21:29.barrels of crude oil. That is more than �38 million worth. One 5th of
:21:29. > :21:33.all the oil and gas were used in the UK comes in and out of this
:21:33. > :21:37.port and its refineries. What will happen to be drew from this time
:21:37. > :21:44.there? The priority it will be for as to turn it into as much diesel
:21:44. > :21:48.as possible and as much kerosene. They are worth the most money in
:21:48. > :21:52.Europe, because there is under capacity of those products. In the
:21:52. > :21:59.1970s, as our Abertay the times super-size, so did the ships. --
:21:59. > :22:03.hour appetite became a super-size. Few of our ports are deep enough to
:22:03. > :22:08.accommodate the ships. Why are they so big? Bigger is definitely
:22:08. > :22:12.cheaper, it comes down to economies are scale. The number of crew

:22:17. > :22:22.are cost benefits. We are talking about 300,000 townships. When they
:22:22. > :22:26.are moving along at 15 knots, full of oil, it would take at least 15
:22:26. > :22:32.minutes to stop from full speed, which would take the ship another
:22:32. > :22:36.two miles along the ocean. these beasts of the EC are not just
:22:37. > :22:41.oil MOBOs. With fluctuating prices around the world, they are
:22:41. > :22:45.sometimes used as oil stores. The vessels act as holding containers
:22:45. > :22:50.out at sea in the hope that the price will go up. They take a huge
:22:50. > :22:55.gamble on that, but the rewards can be very high. If the price
:22:55. > :23:00.increased $10 per barrel in a 30 day period, on a supertanker cargo
:23:00. > :23:05.of 2 million barrels, they would make $20 million. But the pursuit
:23:05. > :23:09.of profits has come at a grave cast. On the 15th February 1996, disaster
:23:09. > :23:17.strikes the at Milford Haven. Sea Empress hit rocks at the entrance
:23:17. > :23:22.to the waterway. 72,000 tonnes of oil spilled into the sea. The
:23:22. > :23:27.clean-up operation cost an estimated �60 million. Marine
:23:27. > :23:32.biologist John and witnessed the spill. Black oil dripping from the
:23:32. > :23:37.rocks, and then you had the smell. Fishing was suspended immediately,
:23:37. > :23:40.millions of birds were killed. There were many serious effects.
:23:40. > :23:46.Environmentalists believe that spills around the UK have caused
:23:46. > :23:51.the loss of nearly half a million birds. And what is the legacy? It
:23:51. > :23:56.looks quite normal. Because it is an expose coastline, very little
:23:56. > :24:00.oil went into the shelter to walk away, so most of the oil was taken
:24:00. > :24:05.away. Within five years, studies were finding there was no
:24:05. > :24:09.detectable effect. Disasters like the one at Milford Haven forced
:24:09. > :24:13.changes to the safety requirements for these tankers. All ships must
:24:13. > :24:17.now have a double hole, an extra layer of protection against Russia,
:24:17. > :24:20.in case they should ever run aground. But while that has
:24:20. > :24:26.improved safety, it can never eliminate the risk of future
:24:26. > :24:30.pollution at sea. In the short term, the tide is not for turning on this
:24:30. > :24:34.great global energy flow. Worldwide, tankers and ships some 2 billion
:24:34. > :24:38.barrels every year, and as long as our addiction continues, ships like
:24:38. > :24:43.these will carry on crossing the world to feed our insatiable
:24:43. > :24:48.appetite for oil. That was terrible, what happened
:24:48. > :24:52.there at Milford Haven. Now a brighter story, when you think of a
:24:52. > :24:56.dusty quarry, newts, voles, peregrine falcons hardly spring to
:24:57. > :25:02.mind. But this sort of wildlife is bringing joy to the workers at one
:25:02. > :25:07.quarry in Cumbria. With much wildlife actively
:25:07. > :25:12.steering clear of people and noise, some animals have decided to do
:25:12. > :25:22.exactly the opposite and rewrite the rule book on making their home
:25:22. > :25:25.
:25:26. > :25:33.Despite the incredible noise, dust and vehicles, this limestone quarry
:25:33. > :25:35.in Cumbria has wildlife literally coming out of its scenes. There are
:25:35. > :25:39.kestrels, nudes and rare butterflies, and according to Steve
:25:39. > :25:46.Khumbu batch, who has worked here for 14 years, they seem to have
:25:46. > :25:50.learnt to work with them. It is so noisy, why are they thriving?
:25:50. > :25:53.of us work here, and they get used to us and the machines, and
:25:53. > :25:58.basically nobody bothers with them, we just get on with what we have
:25:58. > :26:04.got to do. It is an act of worry, you are blasting new faces for the
:26:04. > :26:08.time. How does the wildlife cope? We sound the siren three times, and
:26:08. > :26:12.funnily enough the birds will leave on the third siren. When we sound
:26:12. > :26:18.the all-clear, about five minutes later, they all come back in again.
:26:18. > :26:23.Are you serious? Yes, they tend to know to get out. That is wild life
:26:23. > :26:28.for you, Super can he. While the blasting clearly rips huge holes in
:26:28. > :26:32.the landscape, the wildlife has decided that the cliff faces are
:26:32. > :26:37.similar to their traditional nesting sites and have moved in of.
:26:37. > :26:41.We call these animals around, these hard men of rock have gone soft on
:26:41. > :26:46.their wildlife. I think we are looking at a peregrine falcon that
:26:46. > :26:51.is not quite an adult yet. I think you could be right, that looks like
:26:51. > :26:54.last year's juvenile. Has that been hanging around with the parents?
:26:54. > :27:00.Yes, three of them have been hanging around all the time, on the
:27:00. > :27:03.same face, 10 yards apart from each other. The previous year's Young
:27:03. > :27:09.will naturally disperse, but occasionally one may return and be
:27:09. > :27:12.allowed to stay to help Rea the following year's brood. But up at
:27:12. > :27:19.the top of the cliffs, the grasslands have attracted in
:27:19. > :27:26.another predator. This male kestrel is hovering beautifully on the
:27:26. > :27:32.updrafts coming up from the quarry. The kestrel is feeding about
:27:32. > :27:37.classic limestone grassland, home to a great variety of plants. It is
:27:37. > :27:42.food for many species of butterfly, including this rare one. With his
:27:42. > :27:46.kestrel hovering, it looks like the grassland is also home to mice and
:27:46. > :27:49.voles as well. But it is not just the upper regions of the quarry
:27:49. > :27:55.that are home to wild life. These huge craters have opportunist
:27:55. > :28:00.residents, too. This is one of the most amazing ponds I have ever seen,
:28:00. > :28:05.it is stacked full of newts, isn't it? Yes, there are lot of them, on
:28:05. > :28:10.the last survey we counted about 300, and there are a couple of
:28:10. > :28:16.great crested newts. The pond life is fantastic. Where have they come
:28:16. > :28:21.from? Along power axis road at the top of the quarry, we have a big
:28:21. > :28:25.pond. -- a long hour access road. I think what has happened is that
:28:25. > :28:30.they have come through the faces and dropped down into the quarry
:28:30. > :28:35.and took this over as a habitat. the nudes are protected, they will
:28:35. > :28:40.be moved once work starts here again to my pond and a quiet,
:28:40. > :28:45.disused area of the site. It must be marvellous to have views like
:28:45. > :28:49.this every day. It is, really, one of the perks of the job.
:28:49. > :28:54.Indeed, a very big thank you for all of the messages you have been
:28:54. > :29:01.sending in, Andy Murray has united the nation. This is John in
:29:01. > :29:06.Manchester during Andy on, excellent hat! My wife and I did
:29:06. > :29:11.not get time to see the match, but we listened intently! That is
