:00:17. > :00:24.on? Ages, have a break and put your feet up. But I won't be too long
:00:24. > :00:29.because it is complicated. Where did he go? He has probably gone for a
:00:29. > :00:39.walk in the beautiful countryside. What is the problem? We are not
:00:39. > :00:40.
:00:40. > :00:50.live, are we? ! Hello. Welcome to the show -- One
:00:50. > :00:51.
:00:51. > :00:57.Show. Listen, you are not doing this show, Dougie Cologne! That's enough.
:00:57. > :01:02.Please yourself. It is not like you have any big guests on tonight,
:01:02. > :01:12.someone fancy like David Walliams. He has given it away. Please
:01:12. > :01:17.
:01:17. > :01:24.welcome, David Walliams! How are you? Welcome.You look so beautiful.
:01:24. > :01:29.Have you ever worked with puppets? I would like to. But I used to watch
:01:29. > :01:39.the Muppet show and I was very envious of the stars that got to
:01:39. > :01:40.
:01:40. > :01:47.work with them. They are brilliant. Boy back row is the star of That
:01:47. > :01:55.Puppet Game Show, the new Saturday night programme from the Jim Henson
:01:55. > :02:00.company, -- Dougie Cologne is the star. I heard you made a mess of it
:02:00. > :02:06.and you did not know who the president of the United States was.
:02:07. > :02:11.I thought I was going to be sacked after that! You are known for all of
:02:11. > :02:18.your physical challenges so we think this little clip will be right up
:02:18. > :02:22.your stream. We are following Sean Conway, travelling from Land's End
:02:23. > :02:28.to John O'Groats, and he is swimming all the way.
:02:28. > :02:34.Imagine swimming for six or seven hours at a time, more than 20 miles
:02:34. > :02:39.a day, the equivalent of a cross-channel swim. Imagine doing
:02:39. > :02:44.that for two months whilst coming under attack from jellyfish. Sean
:02:44. > :02:50.Conway's mission is to swim from Land's End to John O'Groats, 1000
:02:50. > :02:55.miles. He set off from Cornwall five weeks ago and is currently somewhere
:02:55. > :02:59.out there, in the Irish Sea. He hopes to be the first man to
:02:59. > :03:09.complete this win. I met up with him as he came ashore for a routine
:03:09. > :03:10.
:03:10. > :03:16.rest. Good to see you. This is the support vessel. That is Owen, head
:03:16. > :03:22.of press, he is the crew capturing, and he is next to me making sure I
:03:22. > :03:28.do not go off course, and then the skipper. We have been getting two
:03:28. > :03:32.tides in the day, six hours of positive tide pushing you up the
:03:32. > :03:42.coast, and six hours of negative tight, so the crew wake me up an
:03:42. > :03:51.
:03:51. > :03:58.hour before we need to get into the take advantage of the tide. In the
:03:58. > :04:02.dark, the jellyfish come to the surface so I have been stung. Sharks
:04:02. > :04:08.also frequent British waters and that has made Sean and Little John
:04:08. > :04:13.P. Every now and then, especially if it is overcast and all of a sudden
:04:13. > :04:21.the sun breaks through the cloud and I can see this big black shadow
:04:21. > :04:27.beneath me, and I worry but then I realised it is just my shadow!
:04:27. > :04:32.vulnerable do you feel? There are times when the waves are so big and
:04:32. > :04:38.the currents are so strong, I have no control. The current can drag him
:04:38. > :04:43.away from his support vessel but the team's captain always stays with
:04:43. > :04:46.him. The second day was scary, at the yacht could not get to us so
:04:46. > :04:55.Sean was swimming for six hours straight without food and water, it
:04:55. > :04:59.was freezing. The water varies from between 13 degrees and 16 degrees.
:04:59. > :05:09.It is a massive difference. I can manage an hour in the water at 13
:05:09. > :05:11.
:05:11. > :05:14.degrees before I need to eat a lot. I can do two at 13 Navy Party 16. I
:05:14. > :05:24.was not naturally a confident child and I want to do these things to
:05:24. > :05:30.
:05:30. > :05:38.prove I can do it -- I can do two hours at 13 -- 16 degrees. This whim
:05:38. > :05:44.will only get tougher as he heads north. -- swim. The reality is not
:05:44. > :05:48.pretty. It is cold and blustery, there are storm clouds. It is
:05:48. > :05:56.absolutely freezing in the water. You could not pay me to do it.
:05:56. > :06:06.David, is an experienced swimmer, we can hook up now with Sean who is in
:06:06. > :06:06.
:06:06. > :06:10.Newcastle. I am incredibly impressed and people do not realise it is a
:06:10. > :06:14.mental challenge as much as a physical challenge because you are
:06:14. > :06:22.there day after day in the water with your own thoughts. Do you find
:06:22. > :06:28.that tough? Incredibly tough, yes. I am just staring into nothingness
:06:28. > :06:33.half the time and my mind is very imaginative! I have thought of lots
:06:33. > :06:43.of crazy things. It is the cold as well. Being cold makes you very
:06:43. > :06:47.miserable. How was the weekend for you? Because that was on Friday? The
:06:47. > :06:53.weekend was hard. Straight after Dublin there is a big area of slack
:06:53. > :06:59.water, big waves with no current, pushing me in any directions, so I
:06:59. > :07:07.have been swimming in circles. It is great to reach land and have a bit
:07:07. > :07:16.of a break. I am fascinated by that beard! I am guessing that is for
:07:16. > :07:22.protection! A bit of drag! I am catching some plankton and things
:07:22. > :07:27.like that! Another month and it will go. Good luck with the rest of your
:07:27. > :07:33.adventure and let us know when you eventually get to John O'Groats.
:07:33. > :07:41.Thank you very much for your support, Cheers. Thank you!That is
:07:41. > :07:50.impressive. I feel like a wimp because I did 140 miles and he is
:07:50. > :07:54.doing 1000! Annoying. Have you got more challenges to come? I will be
:07:54. > :08:01.doing something next year but nothing big like that. There is
:08:01. > :08:09.nothing more my body can do. have done your bit. Will the next
:08:09. > :08:17.challenge involves smoking Matt Baker? -- involve kissing? I don't
:08:17. > :08:25.remember that! Really? I have never forgotten that! I imagine it will at
:08:25. > :08:29.some point. Of course. We will be talking to David about his new
:08:29. > :08:35.sitcom in a moment. But first Larry Lamb is asking whether the history
:08:36. > :08:41.books need to be rewritten. Modern Berlin is the other thing
:08:41. > :08:45.political and artistic heart of Germany. The century ago, it masks
:08:45. > :08:51.the fact that Germany was creating a military machine that directly
:08:51. > :08:56.threatened Britain. By the summer of 1914, relations between the two
:08:56. > :09:02.countries were falling apart and as tensions reached fever pitch, one
:09:02. > :09:07.British man found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, with
:09:07. > :09:12.tragic consequences. Henry Hadley had carved a life for himself as a
:09:12. > :09:16.teacher in Berlin. That August he was the victim of a fatal shooting.
:09:16. > :09:26.But it was the circumstances and timing of his death which Mark is
:09:26. > :09:29.
:09:29. > :09:32.killing out a significant. The story played out over three critical days
:09:32. > :09:35.as the world counted down to war. On August the 1st, Germany declared war
:09:36. > :09:42.on Russia and two days later, France. Berliners came here to there
:09:42. > :09:48.main square, caught up in a wave of pack treaties. They sang the German
:09:48. > :09:53.national anthem. A foreigner like Henry must have felt very alone. He
:09:54. > :09:59.carried to pack and headed to the station. Everybody was going to the
:09:59. > :10:04.same direction, France. The Germans were heading for war but Henry was
:10:04. > :10:09.trying to escape it. He was travelling with his housekeeper
:10:09. > :10:12.Elizabeth. My companion picks up the story of what happened next.
:10:12. > :10:17.Elizabeth and Henry go to the restaurant car for something to eat
:10:17. > :10:21.and it started to go wrong. Elizabeth wrote about this
:10:22. > :10:26.afterwards and said the waiter was a long time serving and Henry was very
:10:26. > :10:31.angry. The waiter said to him, you will have to think yourself lucky if
:10:31. > :10:37.you get out of here safe tonight. There were several soldiers in the
:10:37. > :10:41.restaurant car. It is like an implicit threat. He has had a big
:10:41. > :10:47.argument and the waiter has said, you are annoying me and I have
:10:47. > :10:51.German officers behind me. They returned to their seats. That is
:10:51. > :10:58.when Elizabeth hears this bang and rushes out into the corridor and
:10:58. > :11:05.finds Henry on the floor. Henry Hadley said, they have shocked me.
:11:05. > :11:10.He also said, I am a gunman. The officer who shot him claimed that
:11:10. > :11:14.Henry Hadley started to reach inside his jacket pocket almost as if he
:11:14. > :11:24.was looking for a gun. At that point he thought his life was under threat
:11:24. > :11:24.
:11:24. > :11:31.and he shoots. They were taken off the train. Elizabeth was arrested as
:11:31. > :11:38.a spy and Henry was dead. Later that day, Britain declared war on
:11:38. > :11:47.Germany. Henry Hadley dies at 3:15am on the morning of the 5th of August,
:11:47. > :11:53.so three hours into the Great War. So sadly, he did become the first
:11:53. > :11:58.casualty of the Great War. Henry died two weeks before the first
:11:58. > :12:07.British soldier was killed on the battlefield. But if he was shot
:12:07. > :12:14.during peace time and he then dies during the war, surely that could be
:12:14. > :12:19.seen to be murder? In British eyes, yes, he was murdered, but as far as
:12:19. > :12:24.the Germans are concerned, the lieutenant had nothing to answer for
:12:25. > :12:29.in the terms of the death of Henry Hadley. He felt Henry was pulling a
:12:29. > :12:35.gun and therefore could legitimately be shot. In fact the lieutenant was
:12:35. > :12:40.promoted, he went up to a captain. Henry Hadley was brought to the
:12:40. > :12:46.Protestant cemetery in Germany and buried in a pauper 's grave. With
:12:46. > :12:51.the business of a war to deal with, Henry's Case dropped down the list
:12:51. > :12:56.of British priorities. It was lost and forgotten until now. Richard
:12:56. > :12:59.makes a compelling argument for Henry's death having been the first
:12:59. > :13:05.British casualty of the Great War and I am sure historians will be
:13:05. > :13:08.debating it for a long time, but whatever they say, it is sad Henry
:13:08. > :13:11.died so unnecessarily and was forgotten for so long.
:13:11. > :13:14.And the book containing that and many other stories - 'Meeting the
:13:14. > :13:19.Enemy' by Richard Van Emden is out on 15th August.
:13:19. > :13:25.Big day for you on Friday, your new sitcom will hit the BBC at 9pm
:13:25. > :13:34.called Big School. Why did you set it in a staff room? Because it is
:13:34. > :13:40.about teachers. Yes! Any reason?It is a love story between my
:13:40. > :13:45.character, Mr Church, and Catherine Tate, Miss Postern. I am instantly
:13:45. > :13:55.smitten with her having never had a girlfriend in my life and it is
:13:55. > :14:00.
:14:00. > :14:10.about all the things that keep these you like a lift? In my car.
:14:10. > :14:13.
:14:13. > :14:23.After-school? But to wear? To your home! A lift? Just a lift? Just a
:14:23. > :14:24.
:14:24. > :14:32.guy giving a girl a lift. That will make a change for me having to wait
:14:32. > :14:39.for the bus. Is there anything you don't know about France? I love it.
:14:39. > :14:49.I have never been. Brilliant! Where does the inspiration come from and
:14:49. > :14:53.why are you a chemistry teacher? love the film" remains of the day" .
:14:54. > :14:59.It is about your relationship. A butler and a housekeeper who fall in
:14:59. > :15:03.love but they cannot get together. I always thought, there must be a
:15:03. > :15:09.comedy version. I was thinking for ages. I thought a school could be a
:15:09. > :15:18.good place because there is no privacy at school. I also wanted to
:15:18. > :15:26.do a love story because it is something you never get to do.
:15:26. > :15:30.is, as you say, a brilliant cast. Catherine Tate is good. Phillip
:15:30. > :15:37.Glenister is incredible, Frances de la Tour... Do you have to have them
:15:37. > :15:41.on board what you are writing? helps. To get them on board early.
:15:41. > :15:46.Catherine Tate, couple of years ago we did a read through when she was
:15:46. > :15:53.fantastic. It needed to be me and someone else, someone like her, and
:15:53. > :15:57.there aren't many like her. He must have been delighted. I was
:15:57. > :16:01.thrilled, she is a brilliant writer in her own right, and she is a
:16:01. > :16:05.brilliant comedian but also a fantastic actress. That is the hard
:16:05. > :16:11.thing, right 's perspective, because where did you leave it? You already
:16:11. > :16:15.have what you want, she may come up with ideas. She's very respectful,
:16:15. > :16:23.but she had loads of great ideas for her character, and most of the time,
:16:23. > :16:27.I said, brilliant. I will get all the praise! We were doing some
:16:27. > :16:34.research into your old school days, and found out you were a bit of a
:16:34. > :16:37.nightmare for your teachers and had to pay one of your teachers! I had a
:16:37. > :16:43.metalwork teacher committee found really annoying because in
:16:43. > :16:50.metalwork, I would just chat all the time. Look at you there!So I would
:16:51. > :16:55.just chat, I just annoyed him. Strange, isn't it? Someone finding
:16:55. > :16:58.the annoying! He used to pay any money to not say a word in double
:16:58. > :17:02.metalwork, you would give me 50p if I got through the whole class
:17:02. > :17:10.without uttering a word. I learned some good money but sometimes I just
:17:10. > :17:15.forgot. What is this about the Navy party candidate? Well, we had a
:17:15. > :17:21.school election, I was in the combined Cadet Force at the time, I
:17:21. > :17:25.had a Navy outfits and I decided to stand as the Navy party. It was my
:17:25. > :17:31.attempt to get some attention and be funny. I had all these policies, the
:17:31. > :17:38.school him to be replaced by in the Navy, teachers to salute each other
:17:38. > :17:44.in the corridor and say, hello sailor! Didn't go down that well.
:17:44. > :17:47.You have, be done a lot of research for Mr Church, research into
:17:47. > :17:56.chemistry, you needed that, because it was your worst subject in school.
:17:56. > :18:00.It says you had 26% in chemistry. This was in February 1987. Very poor
:18:00. > :18:06.effort, they say. The Mark speaks for itself. He should do better on
:18:07. > :18:11.the combined paper! I had to take science is a combined paper because
:18:11. > :18:16.I was so bad at physics and chemistry. Have you improved since?
:18:16. > :18:25.We have a lab coat, I don't know if you can squeeze into that. Make your
:18:25. > :18:35.way over here. This experiment, this has been... You might have the wrong
:18:35. > :18:35.
:18:35. > :18:41.one! There we are! Live television! This has been offered to us by the
:18:41. > :18:47.Royal institution, and it is science gone mad. But the safety goggles on.
:18:47. > :18:54.Can you tell us what the catalyst is? It is a substance that changes
:18:54. > :19:03.other substances without its chemical formula changing itself.
:19:03. > :19:10.That is what they just told me! is hydrogen peroxides? Well, it just
:19:10. > :19:15.has more oxygen, which makes it an stable. Brilliant! Stand-by, this
:19:15. > :19:25.experiment is called Elephant 's Toothpaste. We will find out why.
:19:25. > :19:31.
:19:31. > :19:40.off that! That was a bit more dramatic than I thought! That was
:19:40. > :19:50.incredible. Big School starts on Friday 6th of August. Rescuers,
:19:50. > :19:53.
:19:53. > :19:58.the Irish is the Isle of Man. The island is made up of a range of
:19:58. > :20:04.habitats but despite this, few large land mammals make it their home. No
:20:04. > :20:08.badgers, no foxes. Not even any deer. There is one, though, and that
:20:08. > :20:13.is what I have come to see. This animal was never meant to be here at
:20:13. > :20:23.all. It should be 10,000 miles away in the Australian scrubland.
:20:23. > :20:25.Bizarrely, what I'm here to find his wannabes! They are native to
:20:25. > :20:30.Australia and Tasmania but occasional sightings do occur in the
:20:30. > :20:35.British Isles due to S KP is from wildlife parks. There have been
:20:35. > :20:41.sightings across England, including Cornwall, the pig district and
:20:41. > :20:44.Ashdown Forest, but there is no evidence of them having bred in any
:20:44. > :20:50.of these locations. -- the Peak District. But here, wannabes are
:20:50. > :20:55.flourishing. It is the only place in the northern hemisphere where a wild
:20:55. > :20:59.wallaby population is self-sustaining. The local wildlife
:20:59. > :21:03.Park had a collection of them, suffered damage during a storm, and
:21:03. > :21:12.half a dozen of them managed to escape. Is there a publishing
:21:12. > :21:19.estimate? Would be 70 two 120 in the wild. What has enabled them to
:21:19. > :21:22.thrive? This is similar to their natural habitat back in Australia
:21:22. > :21:28.and Tasmania. We have very few predators so there is nothing to
:21:28. > :21:32.take them. With a booming population, my local guide takes me
:21:33. > :21:38.into the wetland area to try and find them. And it doesn't take long
:21:38. > :21:42.before we start seeing signs they are here. Here we have an area where
:21:42. > :21:47.they have chewed off the mark, they have quite large incisors,
:21:47. > :21:51.particularly on the bottom jaw. also find footprints and drop things
:21:51. > :21:57.around every corner. They are definitely here somewhere. But the
:21:57. > :22:01.environment helping them to thrive is not helping us to spot them. Who
:22:02. > :22:11.could be ten metres away from one and we don't know it! -- we could
:22:12. > :22:33.
:22:33. > :22:37.be. I have never been to Tasmania exciting. The first thing that
:22:37. > :22:45.strikes me is these amazing is. They are like satellite dishes, just
:22:45. > :22:55.swinging round. That is great! It is not unusual to see a wallaby on --
:22:55. > :22:56.
:22:56. > :23:03.alone like this as they are solitary Fabulous. Before long, we got our
:23:03. > :23:09.second sighting. You can see what they are called rednecks, because
:23:09. > :23:16.the fur around the nape is orange, a russet colour. It is our twitching,
:23:16. > :23:23.trying to get rid of the images bothering it. Over a few hours I see
:23:24. > :23:33.more and more of these fabulous animals. That is number three. Four
:23:34. > :23:38.
:23:38. > :23:40.today. With wallaby numbers growing, there is a worry they will start
:23:40. > :23:46.overgrazing but current monitoring suggests that so far there has been
:23:46. > :23:51.no negative impact. There is obviously plenty of food for the
:23:51. > :23:59.wannabes here. This one is quietly sitting in the grass, chewing the
:23:59. > :24:04.card! Our footage and filming from other wallaby trackers has proved
:24:04. > :24:09.the publishing is healthy and expanding. At the start of the day,
:24:09. > :24:14.I would have been happy with just one sighting, but we have seen 13.
:24:14. > :24:24.It is way beyond any expectation. It is great to know that the Isle of
:24:24. > :24:27.
:24:27. > :24:32.Man has proved such a perfect home Wallabies on the Isle of Man! On
:24:32. > :24:40.Saturday night, a bunch of puppets took over the nation 's TV screens
:24:40. > :24:47.on That Puppet Game Show. The host is dodgy cologne, welcome back.
:24:47. > :24:54.Hello, hello. I didn't mean to steal your TV wife! Lets get back to your
:24:54. > :25:00.show. If people didn't see it, what is it about? 2-macro celebs, they
:25:00. > :25:04.compete in some games, the winner gets �10,000 for a charity. Next
:25:04. > :25:10.Saturday you have Gary Lineker and Freddie Flintoff playing a game that
:25:10. > :25:16.involves collecting bird droppings. They do, sort of, heard eggs, there
:25:16. > :25:24.they are. There are the birds. What they have to do is mimic the bird 's
:25:24. > :25:34.calls that they heard earlier on. That is our nature expert, Jake. He
:25:34. > :25:38.is in a bungee, he is yelling. at the end of every programme, you
:25:38. > :25:45.have a game called Life's A Speech, which I took part in, very difficult
