:00:11. > :00:18.Welcome to Cornwall and The One Show with a difference. Forgeture foreign
:00:19. > :00:24.holidays. We are celebrating the people who heap us happy and safe at
:00:25. > :00:37.the seaside. We have brought The One Show to the beach! Hoy!
:00:38. > :00:49.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. Welcome to The One Show on the beach. Of course
:00:50. > :00:54.tonight we are celebrating Britain's beaches and where better to
:00:55. > :01:00.celebrate that one of our finest, it is Perranporth, just look at the
:01:01. > :01:07.evening light. It is a delight. It is our best day out so far. We have
:01:08. > :01:18.based ourselves at this fabulous beach bar called the Watering hole.
:01:19. > :01:29.We have a barbecue with David Deadman and we have a beach band in
:01:30. > :01:40.the form of The Kooks. I love her, because she moves in her own way. Oh
:01:41. > :01:57.I love her because she moves in her own way. # Oh, she came to my show #
:01:58. > :02:00.Just a teaser, they're going to be playing live Naive later. Because we
:02:01. > :02:06.are in Cornwall, there was one man that we just had to invite. So he
:02:07. > :02:11.has been filming up the road for the last 13 years in Doc Martin, but I
:02:12. > :02:20.mean he is basically a local. Yes, but he is not that at home on the
:02:21. > :02:27.beach. Sit down, Martin. Leave the blanket alone. I just want to get
:02:28. > :02:34.the sand off. It is a beech. Yes, I would like to be comfortable too. So
:02:35. > :02:43.Scottish egg? Haven't you got any healthy food? No, it is a picnic,
:02:44. > :02:51.just try to relax. Ow! It's Martin Clunes. Of course it is. Martin!
:02:52. > :02:59.Thank you. Hello there. Martin. Are you all right? Martin, what do you
:03:00. > :03:06.make of this? Hello, Perranporth! Lovely. What a nice crowd. Have they
:03:07. > :03:11.paid? We have to say a special thank you for staying, because you haven't
:03:12. > :03:18.heard the news about Martin's puppies. Hang on. I mean that in a
:03:19. > :03:26.nice way. I was half way with my wife and we got the call the cocker,
:03:27. > :03:30.Heidi, our cocker spaniel has gone into labour. So I had to go and get
:03:31. > :03:35.another car. Very exciting. Do you need some parents for the new
:03:36. > :03:44.puppies? We might. We have a few... We will chat later. Oh! See. OK.
:03:45. > :03:51.Nice little cocker. Back to beaches, do you have a favourite? I'm a big
:03:52. > :03:57.fan of one further up the coast. It is my first time here. It is a
:03:58. > :04:06.beauty. We have had a great day. The best day of The One Show for ages.
:04:07. > :04:11.We haven't played frisbee for a why. I was hopeless, then I had to have a
:04:12. > :04:19.lie down. A bit of tennis. It is like Wimbledon. The message has to
:04:20. > :04:23.be... That wasn't your sand castle. No, but you have got to get down to
:04:24. > :04:30.our beaches, we might not have the best weather, but we have some of
:04:31. > :04:34.the most beautiful beaches and they support the local economies, no
:04:35. > :04:39.airports no, ridiculous exchange rates. All week we have been asking
:04:40. > :04:49.for your photographs of your favourite beaches. First this looks
:04:50. > :04:56.like California. This is Cameron and his friends in Argyll. The entire
:04:57. > :05:00.beach to themselves. We will show some throughout the night. Kevin
:05:01. > :05:16.will give us a run down of what is to offer at Britain's best beaches.
:05:17. > :05:25.When it cops to finding that perfect beach, with over 11,000 miles of
:05:26. > :05:32.coastline in the UK, we are spoilt for choice. This is a former fishing
:05:33. > :05:36.village in North Wales and a family favourite beach destination. What
:05:37. > :05:41.makes the perfect beach holiday for you? The kids enjoy themselves and
:05:42. > :05:48.fun. The water's shallow and safe and clean and you know the children
:05:49. > :05:54.are safe. If you're looking for clean and safe shores, head to
:05:55. > :06:04.Cornwall. It has eight blue flag beaches. Including St Ives. Surf and
:06:05. > :06:12.sand and galleries in the town centre. If you want an accessible
:06:13. > :06:17.beach without the crowds, check out the Gower peninsula in Wales. A
:06:18. > :06:20.short walk delivers three miles of golden sand that this month was
:06:21. > :06:28.voted one of the top ten beaches in the world. The Atlantic swell that
:06:29. > :06:33.makes it perfect for surfing creates waves here on Hell's Mouth. It is
:06:34. > :06:41.always windy here. Ideal for water sports. Making it the perfect spot
:06:42. > :06:46.for more adventurous beach-lovers. What makes the ideal beach for you?
:06:47. > :06:51.The sand, the waves, the surf break. Clean beach. That is important. We
:06:52. > :06:58.like to be active. We want to do things. I don't want to lie around
:06:59. > :07:04.and just sunbathe. But sometimes there is nothing better than being
:07:05. > :07:09.the only person for miles. That wonderful sense of freedom. You're
:07:10. > :07:15.just away from city life. Like on the Isle of Harris in the Outer
:07:16. > :07:20.Hebrides, a remote piece of paradise. Just the ticket for a bit
:07:21. > :07:31.of rest and relaxation. But for some a towel and a good book won't do.
:07:32. > :07:42.Their perfect beach themes them busy -- keeps them busy. Bamburgh is
:07:43. > :07:48.famous for his castle. If your seaside passion is wildlife, Formby
:07:49. > :07:54.Beach in Merseyside has some rare species of lizards, beetles and
:07:55. > :08:00.toads and red squirrels. Often the best day is down to more domestic
:08:01. > :08:06.creatures. You all right? I'm good. It doesn't take a magician to work
:08:07. > :08:10.out this is probably Dolly's favourite beach. Yes. Dogs can come
:08:11. > :08:14.here all year round. There is no restrictions. So it never gets too
:08:15. > :08:18.busy. Anyone that's ever been travelling or you have been to
:08:19. > :08:23.different places in the world, this place is quite special. At the end
:08:24. > :08:30.of the day, maybe it all comes down to the view. For scenery with a
:08:31. > :08:35.difference in the shadow of a power station, the beach at Dungeness in
:08:36. > :08:48.Kent is bleak and beautiful in equal measure. But for nature this is
:08:49. > :08:54.Dorset. What ever your mood, there is a breath-taking beach to suit
:08:55. > :08:59.you. So clean the sand between your toes tshs breeze on your face - hit
:09:00. > :09:02.the beach. Doesn't it make you proud to live here. And thank you to
:09:03. > :09:06.everyone who has been sending in photographs of their favourite
:09:07. > :09:14.beaches. We have got these guests here and we thought we would put
:09:15. > :09:20.them to good use and you're going to help us read thesous. E out. I'm
:09:21. > :09:29.Linda. Are you on a break. I live here. Who is this and what is this?
:09:30. > :09:38.This is Chrissie and husband Alan and son Freddy at folk stone in
:09:39. > :09:44.Kent. What is your story? I'm Faith also from Newlands east. This is
:09:45. > :09:47.Kate and her dog, George, at their favourite beach, Bamburgh in
:09:48. > :09:54.Northumberland. I know that beach very well. How are you. Please tell
:09:55. > :10:02.me you're on holiday. Yes I'm from Derby. This is Alison's husband and
:10:03. > :10:14.dogs in Gower. Who is at the end of this rainbow? Rowan from Cheltenham.
:10:15. > :10:19.This is Ally and his wife on their wedding day at Tynemouth. All those
:10:20. > :10:27.lovely views and we have another one. Martin. I have one from
:10:28. > :10:33.Joanne's nephew Charlie, she took this in Norfolk in December. It is a
:10:34. > :10:39.great beach for dogs. There is always a dog. We were saying is 13
:10:40. > :10:46.years you have been filming in Port Isaac and you're used to filming in
:10:47. > :10:51.front of a crowd now. Yes, we get a good house. They're all friendly and
:10:52. > :10:56.on side. It is not a worry. In London people beep their horns and
:10:57. > :11:08.try and ruin your game. Very well behave bed. These are my people. I'm
:11:09. > :11:12.sure a lot of these people will be wondering what is going to be
:11:13. > :11:21.happening with you and Louisa in the series, you had a break. Ooh, sorry!
:11:22. > :11:28.Don't worry. I've never had a reaction like that, madam. I haven't
:11:29. > :11:33.even got to the anecdote. Yes, Louisa. We trying to live a normal
:11:34. > :11:38.life and she is unsettled in her career and maybe she will take a new
:11:39. > :11:46.turn and maybe to cheer her up I will allow a dog to live in the
:11:47. > :11:51.house. That is the big news. It is a challenge for you to get the word
:11:52. > :11:58.dog into every answer. Yes there is two dogs. You have dogs and you have
:11:59. > :12:03.got, and this is a real thing, Sigourney Weaver. She left on
:12:04. > :12:07.Monday. She came back. She did a couple of days last series and she
:12:08. > :12:16.has had a good week and had a bigger part. Now, she is flying off to do
:12:17. > :12:20.Avatar for a year. You have said in the past, that you think it will
:12:21. > :12:26.finish at series 9. But you have said it won't be the end of the
:12:27. > :12:32.story. Where do you stand? On the fence! We have only got a commission
:12:33. > :12:37.up to 9. Never say never. It is a good gig. I will never get a better
:12:38. > :12:41.job. You would like it to go on. I don't know. You're right at home
:12:42. > :12:49.here. You look well on it. I love Cornwall. We will talk about your
:12:50. > :12:54.farm. Port Isaac, we thought how do we get some competition. Well we
:12:55. > :12:59.have a volleyball match going on. They have the whole show to score as
:13:00. > :13:04.many points as possible. They will start now. We will keep you
:13:05. > :13:11.up-to-date. This isn't the first time we have been at Perranporth.
:13:12. > :13:14.Last year Iwan was on the beach with volunteers, helping with a beach
:13:15. > :13:20.clear up and they found a lot of rubbish. Pollution is a real
:13:21. > :13:28.problem. But Lucy who is just down the beach has some good news for us.
:13:29. > :13:36.It is a problem across the world, every year around 300 million tonnes
:13:37. > :13:41.of plastic is produce around the world and eight million ends up in
:13:42. > :13:47.the sea. And on beaches like this in Weston-super-Mare. One of the worst
:13:48. > :13:52.offenders are these, the plastic sticks of a cotton bud. But could
:13:53. > :13:59.that be about to change? Following the fight against plastic bags and
:14:00. > :14:05.microbeads, cotton buds are the latest targets for environmentalists
:14:06. > :14:11.like natty. I have joined her on a beach clean. You have to get your
:14:12. > :14:17.eye in. Look all the way along here. How do they get here? People flush
:14:18. > :14:21.them and our sewage filters have holes in to let the water through
:14:22. > :14:27.and cotton buds just pass through. What is the impact of these? Our
:14:28. > :14:31.marine life are consuming these, they break down into microplastics
:14:32. > :14:36.and ends up back in the food chain. These were picked up in Cornwall.
:14:37. > :14:43.From one beach clean. That is around 800 buds. This is from the Avon
:14:44. > :14:47.George. From half a kilometre. What is the solution? They don't have to
:14:48. > :14:53.be made out of plastic. That message seems to be getting through. This
:14:54. > :14:59.year some of the biggest retailers have vowed to switch the stick and
:15:00. > :15:07.phase out the plastic and replace them with paper versions. Co-Op has
:15:08. > :15:14.been selling paper-stemmed buds for eleven years, now Johnson and
:15:15. > :15:23.Johnsons, Marks and Spencers and Waitrose have joined them.
:15:24. > :15:31.This factory in Francis 24 billion cotton buds roll off the production
:15:32. > :15:36.line every year. The manager says that demand for paper stems is on
:15:37. > :15:41.the rise. At the moment 5% but the market is growing a lot. We expect
:15:42. > :15:50.10% next year and the main market is Scandinavia. And the UK and then
:15:51. > :15:55.France also. 2 billion of the cotton buds made here are now coming to the
:15:56. > :16:00.UK and the process starts with big barrels of cotton fed into the
:16:01. > :16:04.machine which is attached to the paper stems with gloom, rather than
:16:05. > :16:10.being heat treated like the plastic ones. A more expensive process, but
:16:11. > :16:13.the stick is three times stronger and retailers say the customer
:16:14. > :16:20.should not see an increase in price. Niall Wilson from a UK-based
:16:21. > :16:27.supplier has worked with the factory to bring the paper bud to the UK.
:16:28. > :16:32.Word has got out about the change and we are being approached by
:16:33. > :16:37.retailers. Waitrose were the first. It is a small impact. It will allow
:16:38. > :16:43.Waitrose to remove 22 tonnes of plastic out of their products. Back
:16:44. > :16:49.in the UK it is sounding more positive, but why has it taken
:16:50. > :16:53.retailers so long to cotton on? Claire was the main driving force
:16:54. > :17:00.behind the Waitrose decision to change to paper. You are Waitrose,
:17:01. > :17:07.using single plastic items it is a real issue. Why don't we take all of
:17:08. > :17:11.them off the shells? Before we get contacted by angry environmental
:17:12. > :17:16.groups, let's do it. So many things go through our minds all the time
:17:17. > :17:20.and we are constantly removing other things from the environment. We were
:17:21. > :17:24.pleased they contacted us but we drove this. We have gone to
:17:25. > :17:30.suppliers and talk to customers about the benefits to moving to
:17:31. > :17:37.paper. With everything from plastic water bottles to straws, what is
:17:38. > :17:43.next? We hope by 2025 all packaging, of Waitrose products, will not go to
:17:44. > :17:47.landfill. Either reused, recycled or composting. Late in the day or not
:17:48. > :17:53.it seems retailers finally doing their bit to make oceans cleaner,
:17:54. > :17:57.but as we move away from plastic stems, there is a simple message
:17:58. > :18:03.campaigners want to get across. Buds go in the bin.
:18:04. > :18:10.We are talking more plastic on the beach and I am with you go, the boss
:18:11. > :18:16.of Surfers Against Sewage. You are a surfer and this is your local beach.
:18:17. > :18:22.Do you see much plastic here? I surf here as much as I can as sadly as I
:18:23. > :18:26.see around the UK, this beach can be awash with single use plastic is
:18:27. > :18:29.regularly. You put effort into cleaning up plastic here and
:18:30. > :18:33.everywhere and we have seen photographs of what it is like
:18:34. > :18:39.before you do a beach clean. Where does it come from on this speech?
:18:40. > :18:44.The systems we have to control these plastics are not fit for purpose and
:18:45. > :18:48.we see a lot escaping from bins and recycling systems and ending up on
:18:49. > :18:54.the beach and ocean so we have to do more to stop the flow of plastics to
:18:55. > :18:59.the ocean. You say it is an environmental emergency, how bad is
:19:00. > :19:03.it really? Shockingly, they say by 2050 there will be more plastic than
:19:04. > :19:09.fish in the sea is so time to take action now. That is a serious
:19:10. > :19:15.statistic. What will we do about it? We can do all sorts. We have 25,000
:19:16. > :19:19.people joining us on beach cleans every year to pick up plastic and we
:19:20. > :19:23.can produce our own plastic footprint and call for more action
:19:24. > :19:30.from the government to stop mastic ending up in the oceans. I will
:19:31. > :19:34.speak to Lizzie, I call her the paddle boarding environmentalists.
:19:35. > :19:40.You have been on inland waterways on a paddle board, did you push your
:19:41. > :19:44.way through plastic? I did 400 miles and took 3000 photos of plastics I
:19:45. > :19:49.encountered along the way on the journey. You spent seven and a half
:19:50. > :19:56.hours paddle boarding the Channel. What condition was the sea in? With
:19:57. > :20:00.the CE is different from inland, way have bigger pieces. This is about
:20:01. > :20:05.micro-plastics. I took samples of the water which we have analysed to
:20:06. > :20:13.find out what is out there. It is hidden. Those samples have been
:20:14. > :20:16.analysed at Plymouth University and Professor Richard Thompson said
:20:17. > :20:23.samples he has analysed have a lot of fibre and plastic. What do you do
:20:24. > :20:28.to reduce it? It is about taking a zero tolerance approach to plastics
:20:29. > :20:33.like bottles, bags and straws. Just to be mindful of what you are using
:20:34. > :20:38.in terms of plastics. Thank you. Zero tolerance from them and me on
:20:39. > :20:43.the beach tonight and from this beach because this morning as every
:20:44. > :20:49.morning the trucks were out, breaking the sand and cleaning away
:20:50. > :20:54.any plastic debris and rubbish. The man driving the tractor is Bob,
:20:55. > :20:59.and he is here with his son Tommy. They own the Watering Hole, you are
:21:00. > :21:05.our hosts this evening. Thank you. We saw you cleaning the beach. What
:21:06. > :21:11.do you turn up? What is the most unusual? The most unusual has
:21:12. > :21:17.probably been a bomb. I guess a World War II bomb. I told the guy to
:21:18. > :21:22.take it back from where he got it from, otherwise we would be closed
:21:23. > :21:28.down. It has happened before. Bomb disposal came out and it was gone.
:21:29. > :21:37.You have been running the bar since 1978. Since then, Tom, you have come
:21:38. > :21:44.on board and it has altered. This is how it started. You had a shack. It
:21:45. > :21:49.was quite an investment! You bought it from an Australian. The guy went
:21:50. > :21:57.to Australia after he sold it. He legged it. He knew there was a bomb!
:21:58. > :22:01.You moved onto this. I progressed with extra mobile kiosks, to take
:22:02. > :22:07.the item to the customer. You are the Del Boy of Perranporth.
:22:08. > :22:15.You have evolved yourself. This is you relaxing. Hard at work at that
:22:16. > :22:21.time, actually. You still have a similar position! Tommy, how proud
:22:22. > :22:32.are you of your dad? Look at that fine figure of a man. He is there.
:22:33. > :22:37.Not really sure what shorts... Looks like a boy band. We have a bathing
:22:38. > :22:41.costume item coming up. Maybe Bob will do some modelling. The business
:22:42. > :22:48.has evolved and music is at the heart, which you are passionate
:22:49. > :22:54.about. About five years ago. I got a call, and it was hard not to come
:22:55. > :23:00.into it. We have the festivals at the Watering Hole. Big names. Huge.
:23:01. > :23:13.We have had Dizzee Rascal, status quo. Tom Jones. And this Friday we
:23:14. > :23:18.have seasick Steve. Quality entertainers. It is something else.
:23:19. > :23:23.We have been lucky with the weather, a beautiful evening. Lots of
:23:24. > :23:32.holiday-makers. You are open most days of the year. What challenges do
:23:33. > :23:34.you face when the weather turns? Wintertime, you have big storms come
:23:35. > :23:41.in and I believe you were here before when we almost got washed
:23:42. > :23:47.away. Where we are sitting, there was not any beach, a 15 foot drop
:23:48. > :23:53.straight down. Bit by bit we have reinforced it with boulders. When
:23:54. > :23:56.the next comes, and we have had a nasty one since, we have managed to
:23:57. > :24:02.keep it out and by being here all year we can keep an eye on it. Tommy
:24:03. > :24:10.it is a driver to stay open and be open. You hardly have a day off. I
:24:11. > :24:15.love it, it is a lifestyle. You are in Cornwall, you go surfing, play
:24:16. > :24:19.rugby, you are around your best mates and this places a great
:24:20. > :24:24.community place to be around. Everyone is your best mate and that
:24:25. > :24:28.is what life is all about and if you have got that, you can't beat it.
:24:29. > :24:34.Thanks again for being fantastic hosts tonight. You are welcome. It
:24:35. > :24:39.is not just this beach that is lovely. Lovely beaches in Britain.
:24:40. > :24:44.We have Melania and maps to help. What is the story with this picture.
:24:45. > :24:51.This is Thomas on Great Yarmouth beach from Peter in Norfolk. This is
:24:52. > :25:01.Laura's family's favourite beach. It does not say where. It is Norfolk.
:25:02. > :25:06.What we would like to know is childhood memories of beach
:25:07. > :25:10.holidays. I live in Perranporth and it is going surfing with my family
:25:11. > :25:17.when I was a kid, with my mum and dad. I would have to say gritty
:25:18. > :25:24.sandwiches. Mine is staying at the Golden Sands holiday park with my
:25:25. > :25:28.mum and dad in a little chalet. Mine is sandy foot wells in the back of
:25:29. > :25:40.the car! On that note, this is Sally Traffic's.
:25:41. > :25:45.I am off to South Seas to see a national treasure, a darling of
:25:46. > :25:50.truckers and motorists across the UK. She was voted the sexiest voice
:25:51. > :26:00.on radio. I wonder what the traffic will be like today. If you are
:26:01. > :26:05.heading to Southsea, be warned the M2 75 coming through Portsmouth, the
:26:06. > :26:12.main route into Southsea, is extremely busy today. Sally Boazman,
:26:13. > :26:17.or Sally Traffic used a holiday in Southsea every year with her mum and
:26:18. > :26:22.dad and brothers. Her family would squeeze into an Austin eight and
:26:23. > :26:27.think nothing of bunking down in it for the night. For her older brother
:26:28. > :26:35.Bill, old habits die hard. Where is your little sister? Nice to see you.
:26:36. > :26:39.My dad was tight, and he would not spend money on bed-and-breakfast so
:26:40. > :26:45.we slept in the car. It must have been cosy. Very cosy. We were really
:26:46. > :26:50.young and it was an adventure to sleep in the car overnight. What
:26:51. > :26:54.brought you to Southsea? Dad used to say, I am taking you on a mystery
:26:55. > :26:59.tour and we would look at each other, raise our eyebrows and say
:27:00. > :27:03.here we go, Southsea again. In those days people did not fly off to
:27:04. > :27:10.Majorca. Everyone went to the nearest resort. Come on, Christine,
:27:11. > :27:19.Bill, let's go on a tour of Southsea. Southsea, here we come!
:27:20. > :27:24.Sally, when did your interesting cars start? We were brought up with
:27:25. > :27:29.cars and my dad would buy and sell them and my grandfather worked for
:27:30. > :27:33.the Austin motor company. I ended up doing the traffic news, which seemed
:27:34. > :27:39.a logical extension of what my life had been told that point. My
:27:40. > :27:43.grandfather started working at the Austin motor company as a carpenter
:27:44. > :27:50.because a lot of the finish in those days would have been made of wood.
:27:51. > :27:53.If you see a particular Austin car before a certain date, my
:27:54. > :28:00.grandfather would have done the woodwork inside the car. I am proud
:28:01. > :28:05.of that. From riding in classic cars to happy memories riding on the
:28:06. > :28:12.carousel. I remember being on this carousel so clearly. They used to
:28:13. > :28:17.try to push me off. It was a little game. You tried to push me off my
:28:18. > :28:25.chicken! Get off me, you big bully! Brotherly love! And don't you just
:28:26. > :28:32.love the British weather? This is a lovely summer's day. What did you
:28:33. > :28:37.use to do? We would go in the Sea regardless. Mum and dad were great
:28:38. > :28:42.swimmers and tortoise to swim here. Used to have a lot of big ships and
:28:43. > :28:46.destroyers going into Portsmouth Harbour, but we would swim in there
:28:47. > :28:53.all the time and we are alive to tell the tale. The model village has
:28:54. > :28:58.been a landmark over 60 years, a favourite with the family but were
:28:59. > :29:03.mum and dad model parents? Dad was charming, played the piano, became
:29:04. > :29:07.an actor in later life and mum was larger-than-life but dad was a free
:29:08. > :29:12.spirit, as we are. Dad was not the only one who watched the pennies.
:29:13. > :29:16.Mum was thrifty. We always had peanut butter and she said the jars
:29:17. > :29:23.and clean them out and make a hole in the top, stick a straw in, orange
:29:24. > :29:31.squash. Orange squash in a peanut butter jar. Stylish. Tell me that is
:29:32. > :29:35.not mean. For Radio 2's award-winning traffic reporter, all
:29:36. > :29:40.roads still lead to Southsea. Fish and chips. This is the way to end
:29:41. > :29:47.the day. How have you enjoyed it? Great, I had not been before. I have
:29:48. > :29:54.a special drink organised. I thought you might like... The icing on the
:29:55. > :29:57.cake. This is what mum used to make. A memory of your mum. Cheers to you,
:29:58. > :30:17.mum and dad. We love Sally traffic. From Sally's
:30:18. > :30:23.cagoule we will go to beach wear. Do you have a go to pair of shorts?
:30:24. > :30:32.Yes, I think I look neat in them, but I'm told I don't. Describe them.
:30:33. > :30:39.Are they a budgie. Manila coloured. The pockets don't work. I put things
:30:40. > :30:45.into them and they drop out. As long as you feel confident. That is the
:30:46. > :30:52.theme of the item now. You will like what is happening. My word, Lucy, I
:30:53. > :31:00.thought you would be in the line up. That is racy. Sashaying to us, we
:31:01. > :31:07.have Amanda, John and Adrian. What are they wearing? They are wearing
:31:08. > :31:13.reproductions of Edwardian clothing and this gentleman in a real 1920s
:31:14. > :31:20.swim suit. That is quite something. It is wool. How does it feel? I will
:31:21. > :31:28.go for a swim in a minute. It is not too itchy. Elaborate. Initially men
:31:29. > :31:33.went swimming naked. When it became more popular with families to go to
:31:34. > :31:36.the seaside, they started experimenting with separate beaches
:31:37. > :31:42.for men and women and no, we are just going to have the men cover up.
:31:43. > :31:49.This is the result. The covered up Edwardian swimming gent and the
:31:50. > :31:55.covered up swimming Edwardian lady. It is so much more athletic by the
:31:56. > :32:02.20s. I think they're glad they have got the outfits and they heard they
:32:03. > :32:09.used to be naked. Next wave of model please. We have the 50s and 60s and
:32:10. > :32:13.see how the female form is not being covered, but exposed and enjoyed. It
:32:14. > :32:20.is a revolution and we have the bikini. First invented in 1946.
:32:21. > :32:26.Which is really... A long time ago. But it was so scandalous that the
:32:27. > :32:33.French mavn who invented -- Frenchman who invented it couldn't
:32:34. > :32:38.find anybody to model it and had to go to an exotic dancer. So this is a
:32:39. > :32:46.sort of compromise version which you see in the 50s in which the belly
:32:47. > :32:57.button is hidden. It wouldn't hide mine. Now our next wave. We have the
:32:58. > :33:02.70s, the 80s and 90s, look how small things have got. Both men and women,
:33:03. > :33:14.teeny. With and we have the influence of things like Baywatch
:33:15. > :33:19.with the high leg xut. -- cut. It is iconic I'm ready to dash into the
:33:20. > :33:23.sea and save somebody. And we are covering member up again. Things
:33:24. > :33:32.have gone big and baggy. Would you rather be in the baggy brights o the
:33:33. > :33:41.swimpier once. . The Baggies riv time. Bag -- the baggies every time.
:33:42. > :33:51.I'm just thinking how beautiful it is. This is a dream. It is. Moving
:33:52. > :33:57.on to food. We have Dave here, who is a barbecue extraordinary,
:33:58. > :34:00.Harvey's a farmer from up the road and Lucy your sister-in-law is
:34:01. > :34:08.helping. Here is your barbecue. That is impressive. Talk us through this
:34:09. > :34:13.technique. This is my fire pit. I take it around the the summer. We
:34:14. > :34:20.have half of one of Harvey's lambs on the go. Do you do parties? I do
:34:21. > :34:25.whatever. We will have a word later. One thing you do is barbecue tips
:34:26. > :34:32.and a lot of people will be cooking, come on. What I would say is have an
:34:33. > :34:39.open fire. Lots of barbecues have lids and they give great results,
:34:40. > :34:45.but they're not as much fun. Speak to your butcher, get something a bit
:34:46. > :34:50.different and just let the meat and the fire do their thing. Just make
:34:51. > :34:55.sure it doesn't get too hot. We have this burger competition. I had a
:34:56. > :35:04.word with you and I said, make mine a good one. We have made it cheap
:35:05. > :35:07.and cheesy. It is going down well. Well, basically, your's turned out
:35:08. > :35:16.like a proper burger. I thought the idea was go left field. It is left
:35:17. > :35:20.field, it has chilli jam and cheap cheese and yellow sauce. Take the
:35:21. > :35:25.top off, that looks like, you know... I know what people wants. I
:35:26. > :35:33.was going for something more alternative and went for pickled
:35:34. > :35:38.beetroot with Brie yoch. You have gone posh. We are having a taste
:35:39. > :35:44.test and will chalk up who likes what later. Burgers are coming, all
:35:45. > :35:49.right? It won't be like. There is cries of, why aren't we doing
:35:50. > :35:56.pasties. Let's not worry. We will see you soon. Martin. Yes. That look
:35:57. > :36:10.very good, yours. Well, I know. I just went classic. Martin what is
:36:11. > :36:17.your choice. Posh. Posh. We will chatted about your charity festival.
:36:18. > :36:22.Maybe you want to try. Hang on. I don't want to cover you with burger.
:36:23. > :36:28.You always put on a charity fair. Yes, we do. This is our ninth year
:36:29. > :36:34.and it is in aid of Dorset and Somerset air ambulance and we have a
:36:35. > :36:38.fun fair with a big wheel and a pony show and we have a massive dog show.
:36:39. > :36:48.This year in the novelty ring, which I judge, we are having the dog most
:36:49. > :36:53.like Neil Morris si competition. There is a lot of local excitement
:36:54. > :36:59.about that. We have southern golden retriever display. We have horses
:37:00. > :37:06.coming from the pony club. Clydesdales and I will show my
:37:07. > :37:10.Clydesdales. So you have put some of the competitions on because you want
:37:11. > :37:21.to win. Yes just that one. And I generally do. We were thinking about
:37:22. > :37:28.is in Neil Morrissey competition and we thought Dog Martin. Haif. Hey.
:37:29. > :37:34.You were thinking for a long time. The whole of the North Cornish coast
:37:35. > :37:43.to find dogs that could be contenders. Will it be insulting? We
:37:44. > :37:51.have the line up. They're beautiful and Mason. I have been looking at
:37:52. > :37:58.Mason. He is so handsome. Burger? Davis from Cyprus. The question is,
:37:59. > :38:06.I mean, dog... You spot the similarity between me and this dog?
:38:07. > :38:15.Dog Martin. He has got lucky hasn't he? Thank you Mason. Keep him in
:38:16. > :38:23.mind. The next one. Here is Chrissie. Teddy is seven months old.
:38:24. > :38:30.He likes being picked up. Where do you put the pajamas. There is a zip
:38:31. > :38:36.here somewhere? Hello, Teddy. I think Teddy is a good contender.
:38:37. > :38:41.Like me? He is too nice. The question is, do you look like this
:38:42. > :38:51.dog? Maybe, let's have a look at some of the others. Keep them
:38:52. > :38:57.coming. He is obedient. Now this, Frances. That is just rude. Courage
:38:58. > :39:08.is four. What you have done is rude. Do you often wear a bib? If I'm
:39:09. > :39:14.feeling dribbly. He is a whopper. What breed? Newfoundland. It is hard
:39:15. > :39:20.to ask me to judge a dog that look like me. You could help. When you
:39:21. > :39:34.look in the mirror, do you see Courage? I see regret! Is there one
:39:35. > :39:40.called Regret? One final doggie. This doggie. Hello sweetie. Clever
:39:41. > :39:47.dog. He knows a lot of tricks. Will he demonstrate something? What is
:39:48. > :39:53.that one? Stand on my lap? Oh! Look at that! He is like me. He is smart.
:39:54. > :40:00.He is lovely. The question is, do you look... Do you think you look
:40:01. > :40:07.like this dog? I'm big on cockers. I wish I looked like him actually. I
:40:08. > :40:13.wish I had a snout. He is a handsome dog. That was out loud, wasn't it.
:40:14. > :40:27.We have got to pick a winner. This one. Oh, well done! Buddie. Well
:40:28. > :40:31.done, Buddie. No ex-pension played. -- expense spared, a Martin Clunes
:40:32. > :40:36.lead. You found a dog that looks like you and now you can tuck into
:40:37. > :40:47.your burger. Thank you. See you, Buddie. Bye! They were all gorgeous.
:40:48. > :40:58.Hang on, we have got... Volleyball update. 48 to 44. Port Isaac are
:40:59. > :41:07.ahead. Really? Wow. Come on Port Isaac. Volleyball isn't the only
:41:08. > :41:13.sport played on the beach, it is the home to the English National Surfing
:41:14. > :41:15.Championships. For the folk who dedicate their lives to the sport it
:41:16. > :41:32.is about more man medals. Nine, peg leg, changed it legally.
:41:33. > :41:43.Originally I was brought up in Essex. I came down when I was 13. As
:41:44. > :41:51.far it is leg goes. It was a birth defect. They were given the chance
:41:52. > :41:56.of a prosthetic and they chopped it off and now life has been filled
:41:57. > :42:01.around surfing. I live what some would class an alternative life. I
:42:02. > :42:07.live in a camper van and use it for travels. I don't have to pack. I
:42:08. > :42:13.just turn the key. I have been all over, Norway. Minus 31. It was hard
:42:14. > :42:17.core. I've three kids. They get it and understand it. And they come
:42:18. > :42:26.down and stay in the van. They like camping. For me, surfing is my
:42:27. > :42:33.meditation, my gym, it is escape, my head space. Which bill in the ocean
:42:34. > :42:38.until the last day. Before I started surfing I studied medicine. Growing
:42:39. > :42:42.up I was sick and I have got Crohn's disease and the majority of my
:42:43. > :42:47.intestines removed when I was young. So I kind of grew up in hospital and
:42:48. > :42:52.you almost feel like you have in prison and you have a sense of I
:42:53. > :42:57.just want the live my life. About 18 I was living in Leeds and I wept on
:42:58. > :43:04.holiday -- went on holiday to Tenerife. Had one surf lesson, loved
:43:05. > :43:09.it and stayed for about six years. As soon as you get in the water I
:43:10. > :43:15.feel relaxed and happy and no two waves are the same. That is what I
:43:16. > :43:20.love. Surfing opens doors to travel and you go to amazing places and
:43:21. > :43:24.meet amazing people. It is time consuming, making videos, but I love
:43:25. > :43:28.it. It is more of a comedy value we do it for. I love to make people
:43:29. > :43:34.laugh or to entertain. I don't think you can reach an age where you go, I
:43:35. > :43:41.can't surf and if I did, yeah, that would suck. The best feeling in the
:43:42. > :43:47.world. Surfing was a family thing, something I did with my dad. I fell
:43:48. > :43:51.in love with it at a young age and it has always been part of my life
:43:52. > :43:55.and something I have to do. I was very determined that I did want to
:43:56. > :44:00.be a professional surfer. Even at ten years old. It is a sense of
:44:01. > :44:04.freedom and being close to nature, the rawness of being in the sea and
:44:05. > :44:10.having something so powerful riding it and it has a spiritual side and I
:44:11. > :44:18.think all those things put together make it exciting. I have eleven
:44:19. > :44:21.European titles, 20 odd British titles. I have been second in the
:44:22. > :44:30.world three times. Not quite got there. But the fire's still burning.
:44:31. > :44:34.I've three kids and Lucas is nine, the bond we have is incredible and
:44:35. > :44:39.he just loves it so much. I like surfing with dad every day and I
:44:40. > :44:44.just like getting in the water no matter what it's like and we have
:44:45. > :44:49.fun. But I get a buzz off watching him surf. Just watching him learn.
:44:50. > :44:54.But the main point is it is trying to keep it fun and about us living
:44:55. > :45:02.day-to-day and making the most of it. That is what it is about. Well,
:45:03. > :45:08.we are now joined by Nigel, Al and friend from the local surf club.
:45:09. > :45:13.Looking at those folk, you're a life line for surfers like that? We we
:45:14. > :45:20.are the surf life savers and train to save people. So the club was
:45:21. > :45:28.founded in 1957 and we have 360 members. But we are part of a bigger
:45:29. > :45:32.thing of surf life saving GB with 7,000 members and 07 clubs and we
:45:33. > :45:37.train from a young age from the age of five to get them used to the
:45:38. > :45:40.beach environment and spot, we say a good lifeguard is a dry one to do it
:45:41. > :45:51.before it happens. You were the second lifeguard in the
:45:52. > :45:58.UK tell us about the early days. Before the club was formed, there
:45:59. > :46:06.were drownings on this beach. A group of members, 12, got together
:46:07. > :46:10.and discussed it. They formed the club, 1957. I joined at that time,
:46:11. > :46:20.because I knew they were short of swimmers. We thought we would get on
:46:21. > :46:30.and did various patrols. I had an early rescue back in 57-58, when we
:46:31. > :46:38.had a mother and son washed off the bridge here. Washed over into the
:46:39. > :46:42.river. The lifeguard at the time swam out to them, to support them,
:46:43. > :46:45.but he was getting washed out through the river and was afraid he
:46:46. > :46:51.would go right through the river and managed to get her across to the
:46:52. > :46:59.rock below the cliff. I swam out with a - and belts from here. -- a
:47:00. > :47:05.line and belt and managed to get close to her and he said, I think I
:47:06. > :47:10.lost her. That made me go harder. I managed to get to him, bring the
:47:11. > :47:15.mother back first, brought her back onto the beach and she was put on a
:47:16. > :47:22.stretcher to revive her and I went back to get her son. Brought him
:47:23. > :47:27.back. He was OK. Wow. We have been looking at lovely old photos and we
:47:28. > :47:32.have great old footage. It is about awareness and letting people know
:47:33. > :47:41.what to do when you are in the water and look at this. Plim, how many
:47:42. > :47:48.rescues have you done? I would say over 2000. Really! Probably more.
:47:49. > :47:53.There is a story, you spend an enormous amount of time doing CPR.
:47:54. > :47:58.We did on one gentleman behind Chapel Rock, where there is a blind
:47:59. > :48:01.spot for lifeguards and he went in there and was unconscious when we
:48:02. > :48:10.pulled him out of the water with no signs of life. The two of us, only
:48:11. > :48:15.two guards at the time, if we are working on the guy on the beach it
:48:16. > :48:23.is not guarded so luckily the Surf club guys came to stand in and we
:48:24. > :48:29.worked on this chap over an hour. Well... You were rightly awarded for
:48:30. > :48:34.it at the end. We heard a gurgling and suddenly he was sick and it was
:48:35. > :48:42.the best sound be heard. Over an hour. He came around. The community
:48:43. > :48:49.here are grateful for all the work you do. Fantastic. Everybody is very
:48:50. > :48:54.grateful to you. I was talking to Lucy about surfing. She is local.
:48:55. > :48:58.She said do not talk to me about surfing because I think I am the
:48:59. > :49:05.only person on the North Cornish coast to cannot surf. I do not have
:49:06. > :49:11.the balance or skills. I am here with skilled young people down at
:49:12. > :49:21.the surf life-saving club. We are going to play flags. Take it away,
:49:22. > :49:25.Spike. Blow the whistle. OK, Lottie, you are 13 and an important member
:49:26. > :49:30.of the club. What are your colleagues doing? Collecting flags
:49:31. > :49:39.as if they are people in the sea, to create the reaction quicker. Is it
:49:40. > :49:47.fun? I come down here with my dog. Oh, look, he is gorgeous.
:49:48. > :49:52.And it is fun? It is almost like you are not training but playing a game.
:49:53. > :49:57.Zak, you really are training to do something important. We are training
:49:58. > :50:04.to save lives in case there is a real emergency. What skills are
:50:05. > :50:12.learning? Reaction times. Also it improves fitness. You need a lot of
:50:13. > :50:17.fitness to do it. You are very impressive young people and I feel
:50:18. > :50:25.very safe on the beach tonight. Back to you. Thanks. It is almost
:50:26. > :50:29.time for live music from the Kooks. They are warming up, well, not
:50:30. > :50:34.really, they are fiddling with their guitars. The normal backdrop we have
:50:35. > :50:41.with lights and people leaning over the barriers. Look at this! There
:50:42. > :50:44.are still barriers. But... This is down with a story of people who
:50:45. > :50:55.spend longer at the seaside than intended.
:50:56. > :51:03.I went to see to see the world and to have a bit of excitement. And
:51:04. > :51:15.here I was, I was really getting that excitement. The Suez Canal, a
:51:16. > :51:17.crucial artery of global trade allowing ships to pass between Asia
:51:18. > :51:25.and Europe without sailing around Africa. 50 years ago that
:51:26. > :51:29.dramatically changed. After years of tension, war broke out between the
:51:30. > :51:35.surrounding nations, Egypt, Jordan and Syria on one side, Israel on the
:51:36. > :51:39.other. Recognising the impact it would have on enemies, the Egyptian
:51:40. > :51:45.government decided to close the canal. As a result, 14 merchant
:51:46. > :51:50.ships were marooned in an area called the Great Bitter Lake. They
:51:51. > :51:57.had come from all around the world, including four from Britain. Peter
:51:58. > :52:02.was third mate on a British ship. We were homeward bound from the far
:52:03. > :52:08.east and the captain said, at I have just heard that war has broken out.
:52:09. > :52:13.You caught the moment when there was a war. I got the Midshipman to get
:52:14. > :52:19.my camera. You never know, I thought, things might kick off. Sure
:52:20. > :52:26.enough they did. These planes came out loan, overhead. And to the west
:52:27. > :52:35.was the Egyptian airfield and in no time, it was demolished. The war was
:52:36. > :52:39.over in six days, but the canal remained closed for eight years, due
:52:40. > :52:45.to ongoing conflict between Egypt and Israel. The ships remain
:52:46. > :52:50.stranded but could not be abandoned. Paid crews were rotated, each
:52:51. > :52:56.staying several months. Soon, a unique community began to form
:52:57. > :53:01.between them. Author cat has looked into their story. There was a sense
:53:02. > :53:06.of camaraderie from people whether they were from east or west. They
:53:07. > :53:11.set up the great Britain lake association and brought together
:53:12. > :53:17.everybody and used the lifeboats to travel between ships -- Great
:53:18. > :53:24.Britain lake. Seafarers recognise the only way to get through this was
:53:25. > :53:29.to stick together. Absolutely. In 1975 the canal was reopened and the
:53:30. > :53:34.crew is able to head home. Now they are coming together at the
:53:35. > :53:36.Merseyside Maritime Museum to remember their extraordinary
:53:37. > :53:43.experience. How did you pass the time? That was easy. There was a lot
:53:44. > :53:48.going on, a lot of activities and work, every weekend a ship would
:53:49. > :53:51.play host and have a sailing regatta, or football tournament.
:53:52. > :53:56.What was the biggest thing that happened while you were there? The
:53:57. > :54:02.Olympic Games, this was the big thing, to coincide with the Mexican
:54:03. > :54:07.games. We had weightlifting on one ship, football on the German ship
:54:08. > :54:12.and repainted decks on one ship for running. I noticed a Christmas tree
:54:13. > :54:17.in the middle. A Polish seaman made it and they anchored it off the ship
:54:18. > :54:24.and on Christmas Eve we gathered round and sang carols. What about
:54:25. > :54:30.stamps? We had something like 500 stamps that were produced. Offers
:54:31. > :54:36.are made -- officers made the stamps. Many were posted and got to
:54:37. > :54:41.their destination in the UK. John was 22 at the time. He managed to
:54:42. > :54:47.capture some extremely rare footage. How many people have seen this
:54:48. > :54:53.footage? No one, not publicly. How did you manage to get this? I did
:54:54. > :55:00.not know you were not allowed to take cameras. As I came ashore, the
:55:01. > :55:04.Egyptian army took the majority. I had some in my socks and jacket and
:55:05. > :55:13.that is what this is. What memories come back when you see this? I was a
:55:14. > :55:19.young boy. This is you? This is me, 22 years old, third mate. It was
:55:20. > :55:25.really good. Everybody enjoyed it. When the Suez Canal reopened, the
:55:26. > :55:31.community began to break apart. Over 40 years on, memories still going
:55:32. > :55:41.strong. Thank you. News from the volleyball
:55:42. > :55:51.court. It is 73 - 66 to... Port Isaac. Sorry, Perranporth. Well done
:55:52. > :55:57.Port Isaac. Speaking of winners, shall we do the burger result? I
:55:58. > :56:07.might have to change my name to Matt burger. That is the result. It is
:56:08. > :56:13.Alex who wins. With a normal cheeseburger with pickles and onion.
:56:14. > :56:18.People do not want posh burgers. What is posh about beetroot? Thank
:56:19. > :56:23.you, Martin. We have had a wonderful time with you. Let's wander down
:56:24. > :56:27.here because we will have to say goodbye to these lovely people. I am
