:00:17. > :00:22.Hello and welcome tot One Show with Matt Baker and Alex Jones. Tonight,
:00:22. > :00:26.a returning Yorkshire hero. wents from Leeds to New York by
:00:26. > :00:30.selling 85 million books worldwide and has written one of the top ten
:00:30. > :00:34.selling novels of all time. She is a A Woman Of Substance. It's
:00:34. > :00:40.Barbara Taylor Bradford! APPLAUSE
:00:40. > :00:50.Welcome home. Thank you. I'm here all the time you know. But not
:00:50. > :00:52.
:00:52. > :00:56.It hit the bottom of Manhattan and the Meatpacking District was under
:00:56. > :01:02.water. We didn't have a drop of rain and we live on the east river.
:01:02. > :01:07.Right overlooking the east river. It was fine. We had rain. Everybody
:01:07. > :01:17.was prepared though. Yes. The mayor closed the bridges and tunnels, so
:01:17. > :01:17.
:01:17. > :02:15.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 57 seconds
:02:15. > :02:24.that nobody could get in on Let's remind ourselves of what has
:02:24. > :02:29.happened on this epic week. 56 hours, 64,000 gallons and over
:02:29. > :02:32.100,000 strokes. This swim has been billed as David Walliams verses the
:02:32. > :02:37.Thames. I hope I've done enough training but it's a really hard
:02:37. > :02:42.thing to work out. Its eight days of swimming, it's really hard to
:02:42. > :02:46.train for that without actually doing it. Thousands of people have
:02:46. > :02:52.been out to support David from the river bank. Here at The One Show,
:02:52. > :02:55.our support has never wavered. David has encountered hypothermia,
:02:55. > :03:00.a stomach bug and excruciating muscle strains. Despite the
:03:00. > :03:04.obstacles, on Saturday the comedian even found time to rescue one
:03:04. > :03:11.rather over-excited fan who joined in the swim. And he's not the only
:03:11. > :03:21.friendly face to spurred David on. 140 miles later, David Walliams
:03:21. > :03:24.
:03:24. > :03:28.Absolutely incredible. A second ago, he stepped up those steps like the
:03:28. > :03:34.creature from the Black Lagoon. Someone who was here to watch him
:03:34. > :03:38.was Barbara Windsor. You were in tears. It's so emotional. All of as
:03:38. > :03:42.actors were standing there. We were so scared, we wanted to make it so
:03:42. > :03:52.right for him. We were all very nervous. I've been through this
:03:52. > :03:57.with him. He's such a great guy. He says it's the only thing he is good
:03:57. > :04:01.at, swimming. And I think he's being a bit hard on himself! The
:04:01. > :04:06.thing I've noticed is whenever he's been out of the water he's been at
:04:06. > :04:10.smiling and talking, even when things were really Rafa. We've
:04:10. > :04:14.called him the nation's sweetheart because he really is. The drama has
:04:14. > :04:19.been great. The fact he was ill, is he going to go on? Then rescuing
:04:19. > :04:23.the dog. It's been wonderful. ad was beyond the call of duty
:04:23. > :04:29.because at times it looked like a dog should have rescued him!
:04:29. > :04:34.here we are, a great part of London. Everybody is so for him. It's what
:04:34. > :04:38.we need, don't we? I think you are probably right. We also have Mark
:04:38. > :04:42.Foster here. Done a bit of swimming in your own time. You said to me
:04:42. > :04:50.earlier that David Walliams is making professional sportsmen look
:04:50. > :04:55.I saw him before the Thames and I didn't think he wouldn't make it,
:04:55. > :04:59.not the Thames the channel. Doing this about five times longer, it's
:04:59. > :05:03.phenomenal. I couldn't make it in the Thames. He makes us
:05:03. > :05:06.professionals look bad. Maybe this is something they should build into
:05:06. > :05:12.the 2012 Olympics, Thames swim, why not? You wouldn't get many people
:05:12. > :05:17.signing up for it. I think the dog was teaching him the doggy paddle.
:05:17. > :05:21.Thank you Mark. This is the reason why, not many people would be
:05:21. > :05:25.wanting to attempt to swim the Thames. This is the water that
:05:25. > :05:29.frankly, I wouldn't even wash my hands in. He's swum140 miles of it.
:05:29. > :05:33.In a minute we talk to David and showing him exactly what it is,
:05:33. > :05:43.he's been swimming through. Only if he wants it though. Because he
:05:43. > :05:44.
:05:44. > :05:51.deserves better. Back to you. Thanks Matt. So David's raised � 1
:05:51. > :05:59.,093,000. It's an incredible amount. Here's how you can make it even
:05:59. > :06:05.better. To support David, make a donation to Sport Relief right now.
:06:05. > :06:09.Text swim to 70005. Your money can make a big difference to transform
:06:09. > :06:10.the lives of poor and vulnerable people throughout the world and on
:06:10. > :06:20.people throughout the world and on people throughout the world and on
:06:20. > :06:32.
:06:32. > :06:35.Barbara you only arrived on Wednesday, but have you been
:06:35. > :06:40.following David? I have, and I think it was brave of him and
:06:40. > :06:46.wonderful to do this for charity. You know that Thames was dirty when
:06:46. > :06:50.Charles Dickens was writing books about the Thames and the
:06:50. > :06:58.ragamuffins in to find coins. And another thing, I hate to frighten
:06:58. > :07:03.anybody, but Catherine He epburn, when she was making Summertime in
:07:03. > :07:09.Venice, she swallowed a lot of the water of the Grand Canal, because
:07:09. > :07:14.she fell in, and was never the same. She said that to me once. David had
:07:14. > :07:19.the injections before he took the plunge. Oh, he did. I think he's
:07:19. > :07:23.fully recovered now. Water we saw is awful. Whilst David tries to get
:07:23. > :07:28.some energy back, we'll move on to our Energy Bills. With energy
:07:28. > :07:33.prices rising, heating our homes this winter bb more expensive than
:07:33. > :07:37.ever. Our -- are suppliers having a laugh at our expense or covering
:07:37. > :07:42.rising costs? Simon Boazman looks for the truth behind our bills.
:07:42. > :07:47.Following the latest round of price hikes, the average dual fuel bill
:07:47. > :07:52.now stands at around �1200 a year. No-one can guarantee if or when
:07:52. > :07:57.that figure will start to fall. According to the Government, this
:07:58. > :08:01.is the future, �200 billion they say needs to be invested to reform
:08:01. > :08:06.our energy infrastructure and that's going to mean building more
:08:06. > :08:11.tidal power stations, nuclear plants and wind turbines like these.
:08:11. > :08:17.Now, �200 billion is a lot of money. And it's going to be down to us to
:08:17. > :08:22.foot the bill. So the question is - can we afford it? And that's not
:08:22. > :08:27.the only worry. We're putting your energy concerns tot people in the
:08:27. > :08:34.know, the Energy Secretary, the energy industry, the consumer
:08:34. > :08:39.watchdog, and the TaxPayers' Alliance. I want to know why the
:08:39. > :08:43.bills are so high, they keep going up, but they never come down.
:08:43. > :08:48.Unfortunately prices have been rising. The wholesale gas price has
:08:48. > :08:54.gone up about 40% this year alone. In addition to that, there are a
:08:54. > :08:59.range of costs on the bill, things like the network costs, the costs
:08:59. > :09:03.sts metre, cost of various green obligations and initiatives that
:09:03. > :09:08.companies are obliged to do to help vulnerable people. A lot of these
:09:08. > :09:12.have been going up too. So all in all, unfortunately, the picture
:09:12. > :09:16.isn't good. Energy prices are high just now because companies tell us
:09:16. > :09:22.that the wholesale cost of energy is increasing. But we don't see a
:09:22. > :09:25.corresponding reduction when prices fall. The companies would refute
:09:25. > :09:30.any discussion there's a difference whether wholesale prices are rising
:09:30. > :09:34.or falling wha. They try to do is smooth out those prices over time
:09:34. > :09:39.tone sure that prices to customers are not rising and falling, like at
:09:39. > :09:44.the petrol pump. How much will the Government plans to switch to green
:09:44. > :09:47.energy add to fuel bills? And what will the money pay for? We've seen
:09:47. > :09:53.lots of different projections on what it will cost, what it means
:09:53. > :09:57.for us and bills. Some of the worst case scenarios are talking for a
:09:57. > :10:01.50% increase in electricity charges by the middle of this decade.
:10:01. > :10:05.are big rises of energy prices coming because of the choices the
:10:05. > :10:10.Government's made an the targets they've made to install more
:10:10. > :10:14.renewable energy to cut emissions. Taking into account energy saving,
:10:14. > :10:19.the switch to renewables our estimate is if you look forward to
:10:19. > :10:25.2020 British consumers will be saving money on our policies, not
:10:25. > :10:29.spending more. The reason for that is although prices may be going up,
:10:29. > :10:32.because of world markets, and they may go up because of energy support
:10:32. > :10:37.policies, overall bills will come down because we're getting a lot of
:10:37. > :10:44.energy saving coming through. do we need to spend an addition
:10:44. > :10:46.�200 billion on our energy network? We've got to replace 25% of the
:10:46. > :10:52.electricity generating plants or the lights will go out. The best
:10:52. > :10:57.way to replace that is wind generating capacity, getting us off
:10:57. > :11:01.reliance of fossil fuel prices idea that this is unavoidable is
:11:01. > :11:06.wrong. It's a choice politicians have made. It's unfair that we have
:11:06. > :11:09.poor and elderly families picking up the bill, while we have energy
:11:09. > :11:13.companies making windfall profits. It's certainly not the case there
:11:13. > :11:17.are huge profits in selling gas and electricity to people at home. But
:11:17. > :11:20.clearly there's a lot of work to do to transform the energy
:11:21. > :11:26.infrastructure in this country and it has to be paid for. The big
:11:26. > :11:30.question is how quickly does it happen, can we pay for it in a way
:11:30. > :11:34.that's manageable and will we get value for money from it? These
:11:34. > :11:38.reforms are described as a sea change for this country's energy
:11:38. > :11:42.policy. Though we asked everyone in this film how much it would add to
:11:42. > :11:45.our bills, no-one seems to know yet. Whatever happens, it's going to
:11:45. > :11:54.cost �200 billion to make these changes and that's one enormous
:11:54. > :11:57.Energy Bill that's coming our way. Are fuel prices a hot topic in
:11:57. > :12:01.Manhattan? Yes, always in America. You know, a lot of the very big
:12:01. > :12:05.cities don't have public transport, so you have to have a car to get to
:12:05. > :12:09.work. So that's why there's always this grumbling, if you like, about
:12:09. > :12:16.fuel prices. You're over here to talk about your new book, Letter
:12:16. > :12:21.From A Stranger. On the cover here the Sunday Times described you as
:12:21. > :12:24."the queen of the genre". What genre would you say you're the
:12:24. > :12:30.queen of? It's not romance, though there's romance in it. It's not
:12:30. > :12:34.mystery or detective, but there's a lot of mystery in it. I write
:12:34. > :12:39.mainstream fiction for women. I think that's the best way to
:12:39. > :12:44.describe it. I have a lot of male readers because the books are often
:12:44. > :12:49.quite dark. This is pretty, the cover, it's beautiful, elegant.
:12:49. > :12:56.Needs a bit more blue for the boys, maybe. There's a lot of pink.
:12:56. > :13:00.thought that was orange there that book called One Day. It has its
:13:00. > :13:04.dark side because it goes back to Nazi Germany. My books are hard to
:13:04. > :13:08.define. They're historical, modern history. I do touch on things like
:13:09. > :13:12.terrorism and the Holocaust and stuff like that, but it's a good
:13:12. > :13:16.read. It's quite dark from the beginning. It's not what you would
:13:16. > :13:19.think by looking at the cover. it looks girly. Yes. We were just
:13:19. > :13:25.chatting through the film about how this all started for you. You were
:13:25. > :13:29.about ten years old and it was all kind of a pony at the heart. You
:13:29. > :13:36.were desperate for this pony. thing is, my mother taught me to
:13:36. > :13:40.read. That's how it start ed, before I was four. When I went to
:13:40. > :13:44.kindergarten I could read. Then I started to write when I was seven.
:13:44. > :13:49.I wrote a story about a little girl wanting a pony. I really wrote it
:13:49. > :13:53.for my father actually, because I thought I'd get the pony. Actually,
:13:53. > :13:58.my mother said it's good. She made me copy it out again because it was
:13:58. > :14:02.scratches and blots. She sent it to a children's magazine and nothing
:14:02. > :14:07.happened. I gave it to my father then and said "Would you want to
:14:07. > :14:10.read this daddy?" Yes, but I didn't get the pony. The got a letter from
:14:10. > :14:16.the children's magazine and they sent me a postal order for seven
:14:16. > :14:23.and six. They not only printed it, but they bought it. So my father
:14:23. > :14:29.said "Do you really want a pony?" I said, "No, I'd like a typewriter."

:14:50. > :14:54.left school at 15-and-a-half and went to be a typist at the
:14:54. > :15:00.Yorkshire evening post. That's right. Five years later, became the
:15:00. > :15:04.editor of Woman's Own. How did that work. That's a jump. I became, at
:15:04. > :15:09.18-and-a-half, the women's page editor of the Yorkshire evening
:15:09. > :15:13.post, having gone as the typist, becoming a reporter and so on. Then
:15:13. > :15:18.I went to work in Fleet Street. But I fashion editor, not the editor.
:15:18. > :15:22.Fashion editor of Woman's Own. I lasted a year because I really was
:15:22. > :15:27.a newspaper woman. I got myself a job on the London evening news. I'm
:15:27. > :15:30.still a journalist. I just wrote a piece on the Royal Wedding for the
:15:30. > :15:34.Sunday Telegraph. I call myself a journalist. You mentioned your
:15:34. > :15:38.husband there. He's a TV producer. He's made ten books no a mini
:15:38. > :15:43.series. How does your working relationship work? He always said
:15:43. > :15:47.to me "We're making a movie, not a book." But it's because he's my
:15:47. > :15:51.husband that he gets the book on the screen. A lot of producers buy
:15:51. > :15:56.a book, keep the title and throw the contents away. But not Robert
:15:56. > :16:06.Bradford. He makes the book as much as he can get on the screen. Ten,

:16:16. > :16:21.Britain would have been in a museum. The large blue was declared extinct
:16:21. > :16:27.but it's made a remarkable recovery. We go to the fields of Somerset to
:16:27. > :16:33.have a look for it. September 1979. Headline news is
:16:33. > :16:36.the extinction of the British large blue butterfly. With such a
:16:36. > :16:42.national wildlife treasure lost, the Royal Mail commissioned a
:16:42. > :16:45.postage stamp in its memory. But today it's making a remarkable
:16:45. > :16:50.comeback on one of the very sight in Somerset from where it
:16:50. > :16:57.originally disappeared. It now proving to be the Mecca or for our
:16:57. > :17:01.largest and most spectacular blue butterfly. The man who witnessed
:17:01. > :17:05.their extinction and has spearheaded their return is
:17:05. > :17:11.Professor Jeremy Thomas. The fruition of 30 years of his
:17:11. > :17:15.dedication can be seen here at the Somerset Wildlife Trust site, but
:17:15. > :17:19.nature reserve. For a butterfly that let's not forget went extinct
:17:19. > :17:24.in Britain, how pleased are you personally to see them flying
:17:24. > :17:28.around here? It's a great treat to see them come out, particularly in
:17:28. > :17:33.such numbers. I believed we could do it, my head told me it was
:17:33. > :17:37.possible but my heart sometimes doubted it. Ironically, just as you
:17:37. > :17:44.slot at the last pieces into but Jigsaw puzzle, but butterfly went
:17:44. > :17:49.extinct. I was brought in as an ecologist when it was down to one
:17:49. > :17:53.colony and about 200 butterflies in the country. Alas, just as I was
:17:53. > :18:00.pretty sure I knew what the butterfly needed, the last colony
:18:00. > :18:04.disappeared. Jeremy had discovered the missing link in the large
:18:05. > :18:10.blue's life cycle. The red metal and, with which this butterfly has
:18:10. > :18:17.a somewhat sinister relationship. Large blues have an interesting
:18:17. > :18:23.approach to parental care. There Young are adopted by ants. The
:18:23. > :18:27.caterpillar mimics the sound and smell of their Rhona young. And
:18:27. > :18:34.mistaken for a mislaid and lava, is taken back to the nest by the
:18:34. > :18:44.foraging workers. There it leaves a predatory life, devouring the ready
:18:44. > :18:48.
:18:48. > :18:51.stock larder of larvae, until one These bands are vital to the
:18:51. > :18:56.butterfly, but they are very particular about the type of turf
:18:56. > :19:01.they need. Too long and they move out, so with the help of a herd of
:19:01. > :19:09.sheep to keep the grass a short, the habitat here was finally ready
:19:09. > :19:14.for the return of the large blue. Jeremy set out for Sweden, where
:19:14. > :19:20.the large blue is still a thriving. He meticulously collected their
:19:20. > :19:26.eggs from wild thyme plants and brought them back home. This is
:19:26. > :19:30.like a large clump of thyme here. This is importantly where the large
:19:30. > :19:35.blue butterfly lay their eggs. You can probably see there's an
:19:35. > :19:40.edge here and one more just underneath it. They are absolutely
:19:40. > :19:47.minuscule! About the size of a pinhead. So with lots of eggs
:19:47. > :19:57.around, there should be plenty of adults, too. Look at it perched.
:19:57. > :19:59.
:19:59. > :20:04.We are slightly out of breath because the butterflies have been
:20:04. > :20:09.giving us the runaround, but there is one right in front of my finger.
:20:09. > :20:14.Large blues is not a particularly good name. They are very blue when
:20:14. > :20:18.their wings are out but they are not huge. No, all the butterflies
:20:18. > :20:24.happened to be small. This is just the largest of the British Blues.
:20:24. > :20:28.What a privilege. They are really lovely. This is now home to the
:20:28. > :20:34.biggest colony of large blue butterflies in the world. And they
:20:34. > :20:38.are spreading all by themselves. Wandering around as a kid with a
:20:38. > :20:45.butterfly net, never did I imagine in my wildest dreams I'd ever catch
:20:45. > :20:53.up with large blue in Britain. But thanks to people like Jeremy, look
:20:53. > :20:59.at this. I think they are back for good! In the words of Take That.
:20:59. > :21:03.Why did it take so long to bring the large blue back? It's all about
:21:03. > :21:09.getting the habitat right. It has the most complicated life cycle of
:21:09. > :21:12.any butterfly. It took Jeremy 20 years to work it out. When he
:21:12. > :21:17.worked it out, he realised they need a short grass where the ants
:21:17. > :21:21.can survive. Once he got that right, he brought the butterfly back and
:21:21. > :21:25.it's now flourishing. It's down to brilliant scientific research.
:21:25. > :21:33.there is another species which could be facing extinction. Whilst
:21:33. > :21:37.it's great the large blue is back, the golden Oriole looks like it
:21:37. > :21:43.should be in the tropics of Africa. It is for large parts of the year.
:21:43. > :21:47.This is incredibly rare and only survives on an RSBs be late in
:21:47. > :21:56.Southwark. The reason it likes living in black poplars, it's gone
:21:56. > :22:00.down from 20 pairs to just two pairs. It's very much on the edge.
:22:00. > :22:05.This is the Scottish wildcat. There's only 400 of these left in
:22:05. > :22:12.the wild. The reason why is because they are hybridising with British
:22:12. > :22:16.species. British tabby cats. This was filmed on Springwatch this year.
:22:16. > :22:20.You can tell it's a Scottish Wildlife -- wild cat because they
:22:20. > :22:24.have a heavily furred tale with black and brown rings and a black
:22:24. > :22:32.tip right on the tail. They are thought to be rarer than panders
:22:32. > :22:36.and tigers. Barbara is hiding her shoes at this point. No cats were
:22:36. > :22:43.harmed in the making of those issues. No, velvet printed like
:22:43. > :22:46.leopard. The last one is the eel. This is the most amazing and
:22:46. > :22:51.mysterious life cycle. They spend most of their lives on British
:22:51. > :22:58.rivers and have this enormous migration to the Sargasso Sea near
:22:58. > :23:02.Bermuda. Hundreds of tons of eels were eaten because they were
:23:02. > :23:09.abundant. This species has been declining for 60 years. They reckon
:23:09. > :23:12.it's gone down to 90-98 % lost. That's down to Climate Change,
:23:12. > :23:15.overfishing and abstractions in our rivers. Lots of species are really
:23:15. > :23:21.going down the tubes and we have to understand their life cycle to
:23:21. > :23:25.conserve them. Your windy pictures are coming in thick and fast. Look
:23:25. > :23:32.at Sue in Sheffield having a bad hair day. She is under that
:23:32. > :23:36.somewhere. I don't know why I'm laughing! Here this family are
:23:36. > :23:40.enjoying an ice-cream and Portstewart, Northern Ireland.
:23:40. > :23:45.Dunkirk spirit, whatever the weather, we are having an ice-cream.
:23:45. > :23:50.Let's go back to the banks of the Thames where a very tired David
:23:50. > :23:56.Walliams is with Matt Allwright. Yes, I'm proud to say that I can
:23:56. > :24:02.bring you a very tired, happy and about to be in a bath and David
:24:02. > :24:07.Walliams. Well done, David. How are you? OK, a bit tired. Really, what
:24:07. > :24:13.have you been up to? Swimming the length of the Thames! I got out
:24:13. > :24:18.about an hour ago. About 45 minutes to an hour. Watching you come up
:24:18. > :24:24.those steps, we've watched you every stroke of the way. I just
:24:24. > :24:28.can't imagine how it must feel now for you. Incredible relief because
:24:28. > :24:32.I'm a bit over swimming. I feel like I've done enough swimming for
:24:32. > :24:38.one lifetime. Some of the words of the guys down there, the guys who
:24:38. > :24:43.have come to see you epic, magnificent, unique, he Wrolich.
:24:43. > :24:49.Can you put it in those terms? Tired. It's just swimming. It's
:24:50. > :24:55.just putting one arm in front of the other. The atmosphere is great.
:24:56. > :24:59.If you break it down, it was just swimming. But there were times when
:24:59. > :25:03.we were really feeling for you. Not only were you swimming, you were
:25:03. > :25:07.putting up with that terrible illness and stomach cramps. There
:25:07. > :25:12.was a lot against me and the water was much colder than we expected
:25:12. > :25:16.because it was such a bad summer. Getting ill was the worst. When you
:25:16. > :25:20.are feeling sick, the last thing you want to do is exercise.
:25:21. > :25:28.there a low point for you? That was really low. It got to be mentally
:25:28. > :25:33.as well. I lost my Mojo completely. It was really tough but I thought
:25:33. > :25:38.if I tried to keep going, isn't it nice - people are cheering! That
:25:38. > :25:44.must have made a difference. It did. It took me by surprise, the
:25:44. > :25:49.interest people had in it and the fact that the show was covering it
:25:49. > :25:54.every night. The fact that in Marlow there were thousands of
:25:54. > :25:57.people. It's fantastic, it really does help. It made me really proud
:25:58. > :26:02.to be British. I know times are tough for people but they've been
:26:03. > :26:09.so generous with their time and money. Why did you do it? People
:26:09. > :26:13.look at you and think, you must be mad to do it! I'd been on lots of
:26:13. > :26:17.trips with Comic Relief de Ethiopia, India, Kenya. I've seen the great
:26:17. > :26:23.work they do in the UK. It's a charity that helps people who live
:26:23. > :26:27.in poverty. I met a lot of people in Kenya, I met a boy there he was
:26:27. > :26:32.12, Philip. His mum and dad died four years ago, he doesn't have
:26:32. > :26:36.shoes on his feet, there's no one to love him. Sport Relief fund a
:26:36. > :26:41.project which gives him education, food, health care and clothing. You
:26:41. > :26:46.see that with your own eyes and you think, yeah, I will swim at 140
:26:46. > :26:56.miles. You will be inspiring people to do things. Let me give you the
:26:56. > :27:03.
:27:03. > :27:08.total. You've raised 1 million... So far, �1,194,258. Thank you so
:27:08. > :27:12.much! I really do appreciate it. Without your money and support it
:27:12. > :27:18.would just be me swimming along a river, and who cares about that?
:27:18. > :27:28.will go and run the bath myself for you. We you gave me? I'll leave
:27:28. > :27:29.
:27:29. > :27:33.that to Matt Baker. Dame Barbara Windsor made... When you gave me?
:27:34. > :27:41.We've got to get back to the studio. Well done. Give it up for David
:27:41. > :27:46.It's extraordinary. I know he says it's only swimming, but that is the
:27:46. > :27:54.finest example. David took quite a shine to matter there but not as
:27:54. > :28:04.much of the shine as he took to you earlier in the week. There we are,
:28:04. > :28:08.Matt and David having a kiss. was a moment I will never forget.
:28:08. > :28:14.The weather in London hasn't been too bad to date, but that isn't the
:28:14. > :28:17.picture in many parts of the country. Lots of wind. Winds of up
:28:17. > :28:23.to 85 mph are predicted. Laura Tobin is here to tell us how it's
:28:23. > :28:29.looking. Is it as bad as it was predicted? Yes, we were forecasting
:28:29. > :28:33.winds of late 70s and early 80s. The latest we've had is 87 mph in
:28:33. > :28:40.Cairngorm, Scotland. We've been seeing the figures which we were
:28:40. > :28:45.forecasting and there's more still to come. That is almost it for
