:00:16. > :00:19.Hello and welcome to the One Show with Matt Baker. And Alex Jones.
:00:19. > :00:23.Tonight, a rhyming couplet of guests whose names are a dream for
:00:23. > :00:32.Scrabble. Direct from his comedy tour via Tomb Raider and Gladiator,
:00:32. > :00:35.it's Omid Djalili, single score 22 points. Welcome, Omid. And joining
:00:35. > :00:45.us later, the woman bringing peace to warring family businesses, it's
:00:45. > :00:46.
:00:46. > :00:53.Alex Polizzi. Two Zs, you'll need a blank, minimum 28 points. Imagine
:00:53. > :00:57.that on a trouble score! Unbelievable! Of course, Omid, you
:00:57. > :01:01.must us in Meryl Streep's moment with Pichot, Colin Firth coming to
:01:01. > :01:05.her rescue. I have a quote from Colin Firth, on your stand-up, you
:01:05. > :01:11.provoke the kind of laughter that gives you digestive problems. I'm
:01:11. > :01:16.guessing that is a compliment. not... And not wholly sure about
:01:16. > :01:19.that because... After he won the Oscar, I got a very weird e-mail
:01:19. > :01:24.from Colin Firth. I have done a couple of charity events within,
:01:24. > :01:27.and I must have got into his psyche, because he sent me and e-mail are
:01:28. > :01:34.saying, I had a terrible dream that he performed an exotic dance for me,
:01:34. > :01:38.I thought you should know. I wrote back, it is funny, I had the same
:01:38. > :01:44.dream, and your cheque bounced! He wrote back and said, that is
:01:44. > :01:49.because the exotic dance was wholly unsatisfactory! I think that is the
:01:49. > :01:54.digestive problem, something to do with nausea, not laughter. Speaking
:01:54. > :02:00.of dancing, we will be finding out what Omid is at a later... I would
:02:00. > :02:03.get a bigger laugh! It may or may not involve a pink tutu. If the
:02:03. > :02:07.Duchess of Cambridge fancies a night out while her husband is in
:02:07. > :02:11.the Falklands, she could do worse than heading for Liverpool. It is
:02:11. > :02:14.home to a bar run by a charity that is close to her heart.
:02:14. > :02:19.The Liverpool is a city that likes to party, and like everywhere else
:02:19. > :02:24.in Britain, blues is the backbone of a night out. As a nation, it is
:02:24. > :02:29.fair to say that we enjoy a drink. And the students are no exception.
:02:29. > :02:35.They are not big binge drinkers, but on Wednesday, which is party
:02:35. > :02:39.night for students, having a snifter is all part of the ritual.
:02:39. > :02:44.Well, tonight, and taking the entire netball team out, and not
:02:44. > :02:51.just out, but Out Out! And it will not be their typical evening
:02:51. > :02:59.experience. Not being much of a midweek drinker myself these days,
:02:59. > :03:03.I thought we would go of the East. What kind of drinks to do? We have
:03:03. > :03:08.got a Bollywood is sour, it depends what you like in a cocktail. A
:03:09. > :03:13.Sounds like a normal cocktail menu, but these are all have car free,
:03:13. > :03:20.and that is my surprise. I have taken them to a dry bar.
:03:20. > :03:26.is a dry bar? Non-alcoholic? He is definitely warmer than outside.
:03:26. > :03:34.is nice. I quite like the atmosphere. Leaving the girls to
:03:34. > :03:36.their cocktails, I find out more about the thinking behind the Brink,
:03:36. > :03:41.Liverpool's first modern dry bar looks like any other, opening late
:03:41. > :03:44.into the night, but in a scene where booms rules, surely it is a
:03:44. > :03:49.hard sell. The first thing you expect is that it serves alcohol,
:03:49. > :03:54.and if you take that away, for most people it takes away the reason for
:03:54. > :03:58.coming. We want to dispel the myth that Tabar has got to serve alcohol.
:03:58. > :04:04.You can enjoy yourself without drinking alcohol. There are many
:04:04. > :04:08.are places to do it, but not here. The bar is the brainchild of
:04:08. > :04:13.charity Action on addiction, which is close to the heart of Damien
:04:13. > :04:18.Kelly. Liverpool has got a huge recovery seen, and they have
:04:18. > :04:21.nowhere to call home. That is one of the reasons why Brink came about.
:04:21. > :04:26.Surely it cannot survive if you're only customers who are going
:04:26. > :04:33.through recovery. If you do not ring for control, medicinal reasons,
:04:33. > :04:37.and if you do, it is about a more sensible approach. But in a city
:04:37. > :04:41.which tops the tables for alcohol related hospital admissions, in a
:04:41. > :04:45.country with a taste of the hard stuff, what is the Brink up
:04:45. > :04:52.against? The problem with nightlife is that it has become the same as
:04:52. > :04:56.going out to get drunk. They are environments designed to get people
:04:56. > :05:00.to an. Professor Marc Bell studies our drinking habits for a living.
:05:00. > :05:03.We identified that about half of people will not go into the towns
:05:03. > :05:07.and cities at night because they think they are people where --
:05:07. > :05:11.places where people just go to get drunk. We need alternatives, places
:05:12. > :05:16.like dry bars, other things to do other than drink as heavily as they
:05:16. > :05:19.possibly can. The professor might believe that dry bars of a future,
:05:19. > :05:25.but with the party hearty crowd swallow his way of thinking and
:05:25. > :05:29.even set foot in a bar without booze? To be honest, most people
:05:30. > :05:34.have fun when they are drinking. To be honest, I wouldn't consider
:05:35. > :05:39.myself having fun there. If I was low and cash, yeah, I would. Or if
:05:39. > :05:44.I was driving. I would consider it, yes, I would like to see what it is
:05:44. > :05:49.like, see the difference. And what about our students? Their memory of
:05:49. > :05:54.the night may be much clearer than usual, but was it as much fun? Time
:05:54. > :05:58.for the post-match debrief. We have a table full of fruity drinks, you
:05:58. > :06:04.have certainly had your five a day, but have you had a good evening
:06:04. > :06:11.without alcohol? Have you survived? With a big group of people, it is a
:06:11. > :06:16.nice environment. Anybody honestly at any point this evening thought
:06:16. > :06:20.to themselves, I could do with a drink? Not that I want one, but if
:06:20. > :06:24.it was on offer, I probably would have had wine. It is more force of
:06:24. > :06:29.habit, it is what you are used to doing. It is strange that it is not
:06:29. > :06:39.on offer. The acid test, are you going to go immediately from here
:06:39. > :06:41.
:06:41. > :06:46.down the pub? No! It is bedtime for Interesting, thanks ever so much,
:06:46. > :06:50.Matt EU. The girls said that the atmosphere was very different. From
:06:50. > :06:54.a stand-up point of view, do you prefer to play to a crowd that is
:06:54. > :06:57.completely sober or slightly lubricated? That is a specifically
:06:57. > :07:02.British question, because I have performed around the world, and
:07:02. > :07:05.people do not have to be so drunk that they go out and try to buy a
:07:05. > :07:10.bus ticket from a chocolate vending machine last projectile vomiting
:07:10. > :07:14.from their left nostril. Is it easier with that kind of crowd?
:07:14. > :07:20.people think audiences have to be drunk, but actually the comedy
:07:20. > :07:26.clubs are interesting, because in London people do like to be well
:07:26. > :07:32.oiled with drink. Sometimes, N Cs tried to throw you off the scent. I
:07:32. > :07:39.have seen places where the MC says, ladies and gentlemen, do you like
:07:39. > :07:44.poets? No! You like Americans? No! Ladies and gentlemen, an American
:07:44. > :07:48.poet! They will try to ruin the night, but that is why I prefer the
:07:48. > :07:52.theatres where people have paid money to see you. They are more
:07:52. > :07:57.predisposed towards laughing at what you do. Liverpool was one of
:07:57. > :08:01.the cities you visited during your MAM at 10 month tour of duty, which
:08:01. > :08:07.is nearing its end. What were the highlights? No highlights, I'm
:08:07. > :08:11.afraid. I will tell you why, I thought I would get a big tour
:08:11. > :08:15.passed to watch DVDs, a lovely bar. I do not drink, that is another
:08:15. > :08:22.thing that people do not understand. People say, do you want a pint? I
:08:22. > :08:26.do not drink, do you just want a half? People do not get it! What
:08:26. > :08:31.happened was within the first day, we were going through Wales, I got
:08:31. > :08:37.very sick, so I said, can I give the bus back? They said, no, we
:08:37. > :08:43.want to keep it. I have to follow everyone on the bus. I can see them
:08:43. > :08:47.watching films, knocking back shots, and I am back there, going, I am
:08:47. > :08:52.paying for that! They just close the curtain. At the service station,
:08:52. > :08:55.are you coming for lunch? We are watching back to the future! They
:08:55. > :09:01.do not care. It is a real waste of time and money. I'm having a
:09:01. > :09:05.terrible time, thanks for asking! It is coming to an end. No, it has
:09:05. > :09:08.been good, wonderful. It is coming to the Hammersmith Apollo at the
:09:08. > :09:15.end of the month, I have been going to towns I have never heard of.
:09:15. > :09:20.Have you heard of Bridlington? course! Scarborough? I have never
:09:20. > :09:23.been there. We have been talking about dancing tonight, you're not
:09:23. > :09:28.ditching the dancing, because you are taking part in Let's Dance. How
:09:28. > :09:33.are you feeling about that? feeling that it could be good, I
:09:33. > :09:37.have probably bitten off more than I can chew. On my tour, I was not
:09:37. > :09:42.dancing at the beginning, but I got an embossed card, it was a threat,
:09:42. > :09:46.done in the style of an invitation, dance or die. A posh threat?
:09:46. > :09:53.are letting your people down. It was signed by William Hague, which
:09:53. > :09:57.is quite bizarre. But I thought I would do Let's Dance for Comic
:09:57. > :10:06.Relief because we have got a concept which could be great. I
:10:06. > :10:12.mean... Look at that! This is warming up. Is it sporty? This is a
:10:12. > :10:16.warm-up of us trying to get... Look at that! The moves are pretty
:10:16. > :10:22.specific, quite ambitious. That is not the piece, that is just warming
:10:22. > :10:25.up, trying to get us warmed up. ambitious is it? They say it is one
:10:25. > :10:31.of the most ambitious things anyone has ever tried, so it could be
:10:31. > :10:35.greater or... Serious? It could be great, but I am a risk-taker.
:10:35. > :10:39.all for a good cause. Now then, either way, your mum and dad used
:10:39. > :10:43.to run a business, is that right? Yes. The next film is about family
:10:43. > :10:52.businesses. Would you go into business with your brothers and
:10:52. > :10:57.sisters? No. Well, many people do. In fact, up over 3 million therms
:10:57. > :11:01.from corner shops to large companies are run by families. In a
:11:01. > :11:05.moment, Alex Polizzi tells us why she has become the fixer, rescuing
:11:05. > :11:09.business plans in crisis. But first, how working with your nearest and
:11:09. > :11:14.dearest can stretch relations to the limit. You sit down and have a
:11:14. > :11:21.nice time, I go home on Friday with no soul! I have to cover everybody
:11:21. > :11:26.in the shop. Oh, yeah, everybody else as a day off, I have not had
:11:26. > :11:31.one since January! OK. Take a chill pill or you will have a stroke.
:11:31. > :11:35.least I will get a rest in bed! who would be prepared to go into
:11:35. > :11:41.business with a close relative? Money and family does not always
:11:41. > :11:45.mix. There is no way I would go into a family business. Yeah, I
:11:45. > :11:49.think it would create quite a few arguments, put it that way. I say
:11:50. > :11:53.what has to be done, he does it if he feels like it. Running a family
:11:53. > :11:58.business myself, I am aware of the pitfalls, but I know it can be
:11:58. > :12:02.hugely rewarding. How do you make sure your family enterprise does
:12:02. > :12:05.not become one long-running domestic? With family businesses
:12:05. > :12:09.employing more than 9 million people in the UK, I have come to
:12:09. > :12:14.get some expert advice on what to look out for when working with your
:12:14. > :12:18.nearest and dearest. Stress is a high pressure forced from running a
:12:18. > :12:23.business when it is inserted into a family, and you can see how people
:12:23. > :12:30.who take the greatest strain show that strain. She is a little bit
:12:30. > :12:35.stressed! Just a little bit. just... Stressed his like... I feel
:12:35. > :12:39.a bit stressed out, I am more than stressed out, I really feel beyond
:12:39. > :12:42.stressed-out. One of the prime functions of families is to buffer
:12:42. > :12:46.the stresses that people have. You come home from work and you have
:12:46. > :12:50.got your family to help you feel better again. So you have recovery
:12:50. > :12:55.space. With families in businesses, maybe you have put your business
:12:55. > :12:58.into your recovery space, and you have got nowhere to go for TLC.
:12:58. > :13:02.What you do not want is the family to destroy the business and the
:13:02. > :13:08.business to destroy the family. doesn't work, and there needs to be
:13:08. > :13:12.one person in charge. Who that person is, I don't know. �50,000
:13:12. > :13:18.now, I will walk away, you will never see me again, OK? That is
:13:18. > :13:26.what you have said. We can do it without you! We are not saying that
:13:26. > :13:33.at all! This conversation has gone too far, anyway. I am not going to
:13:34. > :13:38.go on with this any more. It is... There we go! So what is the great
:13:38. > :13:42.thing about having a family business? I think the magic is
:13:42. > :13:52.really the pleasure of shared ownership, something that you
:13:52. > :13:59.
:13:59. > :14:02.A family business is definitely a labour of love. But if you are to
:14:02. > :14:12.make a success of it, you have to learn how to leave any family
:14:12. > :14:16.As we said, in the series you rescue family firms and give them
:14:16. > :14:23.some advice. You've got plenty of experience in this field. Your
:14:23. > :14:29.grandfather was Lord Forte, from the Forte hotel chain. What would
:14:29. > :14:33.be your tips? About how to be successful? Make sure you define
:14:33. > :14:37.your areas of responsibility clearly, so you don't tread on each
:14:37. > :14:40.other's toes too much. That creates a lot of attention otherwise. Make
:14:40. > :14:45.sure that you keep your professional life professional, so
:14:45. > :14:50.any family arguments should be left at the office door. Try and avoid
:14:50. > :14:56.too much into a family banter. Especially for embryo -- employees
:14:56. > :14:59.who aren't part of the family, otherwise they could feel excluded.
:14:59. > :15:04.The key to a business is the fact you do take your work home and you
:15:04. > :15:09.are constantly, the passion you have together is so important. Are
:15:09. > :15:12.there any tips for leaving it at the door? I do think you take your
:15:12. > :15:16.work come, but that's a different problem. It's when you bring your
:15:16. > :15:21.home stresses into work that the business really suffers. I've
:15:21. > :15:26.worked with my mum, I've worked with my uncle, I've worked with my
:15:26. > :15:31.sister, my husband. Your husband, baking. Does he bring his work home
:15:31. > :15:35.with him? Every single night. But I understand that. It's a business
:15:35. > :15:41.that the share, we built it up together. I was a baker for him for
:15:41. > :15:45.a year. I do get the stresses and strains he is under. He needs to
:15:45. > :15:48.detox from his day by talking to me. Do you ever get to that point when
:15:48. > :15:52.you've worked so much with your family that when you get together
:15:52. > :15:57.you've got nothing to talk about? Yes, I'm on holiday sometimes with
:15:57. > :16:02.my mum and she's talking to me about work. I ain't, like, please,
:16:02. > :16:07.can't we just lie here by the pool and read a book? Hey you are giving
:16:07. > :16:11.the Kettley's some advice on tomorrow's show. You've got an
:16:11. > :16:18.awful lot of Rangers here, an awful lot of stock. It all mergers in,
:16:18. > :16:21.it's a bit beige and boring. I would struggle to find one thing I
:16:21. > :16:28.wanted to buy in here. I'm just saying that as a matter of fact.
:16:28. > :16:35.Downstairs, it's like an old people's home. You are quite harsh.
:16:35. > :16:40.But you've got to be honest. I have not -- you have not seen what it
:16:40. > :16:47.was like downstairs, it looked like an old people's home. It was awful.
:16:47. > :16:52.They seem to take it on board. quite firm but am very fair. The
:16:52. > :16:55.amazing thing is when I'm going to all of these families, usually they
:16:55. > :16:59.know the advice that I'm giving them. It down, they already
:16:59. > :17:04.acknowledge it but they've been unable to act upon it. I do a lot
:17:04. > :17:08.of kicking but I don't have to push too hard. It sounds like it's all
:17:08. > :17:13.common sense. Yeah S. I'm not an expert on a furniture store. What I
:17:13. > :17:17.am good at his business. The lessons I've learned in my business,
:17:17. > :17:22.I transferred them into other businesses. I met a young comic he
:17:23. > :17:27.was a staunch atheist. I said, is a theism like a religion to you? He
:17:27. > :17:32.said, yes, it's the religion of common sense. I said, what do you
:17:32. > :17:38.base that religion on? He said, but Ten Commandments. I thought that
:17:38. > :17:43.would get a bigger laughs. Fixer continues tomorrow night on
:17:43. > :17:46.BBC Two at 8pm. Bill Oddie has enjoyed a hugely successful career,
:17:46. > :17:50.first as a comedian and actor and later as a wildlife presenter.
:17:50. > :18:00.when he was young he needed a century of his own and founded in a
:18:00. > :18:01.
:18:01. > :18:11.surprising place. We are in Birmingham at King Edward's School.
:18:11. > :18:22.
:18:22. > :18:27.I came here between 54 and 60. It's We are in another era. The
:18:27. > :18:33.overwhelming feeling is one of affection. I had a pretty fabulous
:18:33. > :18:40.time here. I thought it was terrific. In my day they did and
:18:40. > :18:44.torture the little boys like that. -- they did and torture. I'd been
:18:44. > :18:51.put into a classics form but I was terrible at it. First report out of
:18:51. > :18:55.a class of 27, I achieved in Latin the position of 27th. It says, this
:18:55. > :19:03.is a weak subject but he struggles along cheerfully and has made some
:19:03. > :19:08.progress. My home life was a little bit odd. I was brought up by my dad
:19:09. > :19:12.and his mother, my granny. My mum was unfortunately committed to a
:19:12. > :19:17.mental hospital. She was diagnosed as being schizophrenic, and that
:19:17. > :19:21.was where she was right the way throughout my childhood and teenage
:19:21. > :19:26.years. I didn't really know her. A lot of my friends didn't really
:19:27. > :19:33.know because I hardly ever took anybody back to the house. I never
:19:33. > :19:37.thought of myself as deprived of a mother or anything. Looking back,
:19:37. > :19:42.home wasn't very interesting. I tended to spend my time doing
:19:42. > :19:45.something else, going out to the local reservoir with my binoculars
:19:45. > :19:54.and bird watching. That was one of the things. The other thing was
:19:54. > :20:02.making the school day a lot longer than it was. The school was... What
:20:02. > :20:09.ever the building work is... It was instead of my home. I lived here.
:20:09. > :20:14.Sport was a revelation when I came here. The playing fields were
:20:14. > :20:20.cricket pitches, I played a lot of tennis... The other one, rugby. It
:20:20. > :20:26.was quite a successful rugby school. A memorial from that time, these
:20:26. > :20:32.are my rugby colours. It doesn't quite fit, never did. I believe
:20:32. > :20:42.that somewhere around is one of my team mates from long ago. Is there
:20:42. > :20:46.anybody on who you recognise? ought to -- or two. To me, the
:20:46. > :20:52.rugby was one of the be-all and end-alls of being at school. Was it
:20:52. > :20:56.important to you? Yes, and sport in general. My great shame was that I
:20:56. > :21:02.was captain of the team that lost the Cup, after many years of
:21:02. > :21:09.victory. Apparently, I was talking to some people at school now, they
:21:09. > :21:16.haven't won for years. We started the demise. Maybe! This was the
:21:16. > :21:22.scene of my first performances. This was about 56 or 57. It was a
:21:22. > :21:30.review with comedy and songs. I've got a credit here. Playing
:21:30. > :21:37.harmonica. A couple of years later, so just before I went, 20th July
:21:37. > :21:42.and 21st 1959, we have this, it was written by myself. We got terribly
:21:43. > :21:48.good reviews. On two successive nights, the large audiences
:21:48. > :21:53.applauded. The standard was very high. One of the things that
:21:53. > :21:56.strikes me is how many of the things I've gone on to do through
:21:56. > :21:59.the whole of my life have gone on at this school. People talk of me
:21:59. > :22:07.as part of the Cambridge MA banned the book Lights, but it was here
:22:07. > :22:15.that I got into those things. -- and the Footlights.
:22:15. > :22:22.On School, is this fact or pure stand-up? You've sat 49 papers of
:22:22. > :22:29.A-levels. That is true. It's all for, I know. I did four A-levels,
:22:29. > :22:34.13 times. You are laughing at that, aren't you?! Have you got your
:22:34. > :22:39.qualifications? I never got them. I was tremendously deluded. I'd do an
:22:39. > :22:46.exam and wait for the results. I messed up one bit of that paper, it
:22:46. > :22:56.could be a B. It would be an effort. I did them three years in a row. It
:22:56. > :23:03.was a total of 49 papers. I didn't really get any. You'd never toll --
:23:03. > :23:11.tell from the filmography and films you've been in. You tried for 16
:23:11. > :23:17.drama schools as well. You know this as well! Yes, 16. Eight drama
:23:18. > :23:23.schools, twice. The Welsh School of Drama, they were very kind because
:23:23. > :23:27.the second time I said, what am I doing wrong? They said, we think
:23:27. > :23:32.you are very arrogant and you may have the fat gene. You are FE now
:23:32. > :23:36.and you've got hair but we see it all going wrong. It's true. They
:23:36. > :23:42.said to me, we think that you have enough confidence to try something
:23:42. > :23:47.out yourself. Drama school, we like to mould people, just go out and do
:23:47. > :23:50.it. We won't embarrass you any more now. Despite hundreds of alleged
:23:51. > :23:55.sightings so far, there is no conclusive evidence that big cats
:23:55. > :23:59.are running the British countryside. However, on on the Ardnamurchan
:23:59. > :24:04.Peninsula in Lochaber, a rare species of cat does live in the
:24:04. > :24:09.wild. As Mike Dilger discovered, it's nearly as elusive... Judging
:24:09. > :24:15.from that match, I'm not surprised! This area in Scotland is a
:24:15. > :24:21.stronghold for a rare and shy cat. Wildcats have to be one of the most
:24:21. > :24:24.elusive mammals in Britain, with only about 400 remaining in the
:24:24. > :24:30.world. They have to be one of the rarest as well. It is an animal
:24:30. > :24:35.that I have never seen before. Add to that they do everything they can
:24:35. > :24:40.to avoid being detected. Wild cats have rarely been filmed. This would
:24:40. > :24:43.it was taken in 2008. But their elusiveness hasn't deterred
:24:43. > :24:50.scientists from doing everything they can to protect the last
:24:50. > :24:56.remaining wild cats. Appear in west Scotland, there's a very special
:24:56. > :24:59.wild cat project taking place. I'm keen to get involved. Adrian Davies,
:24:59. > :25:03.from the Scottish wildcat Association, is dedicated to
:25:03. > :25:09.preserving our only native feline. And having spent his life trying to
:25:09. > :25:16.track them down, he's all too aware of how rare they are. I've only
:25:16. > :25:20.seen five in the wild. I've seen a few in zoos but five in the wild
:25:20. > :25:24.over 40 Ord years is not many. Especially in this landscape. It's
:25:24. > :25:28.like a needle in a haystack. How different are they to the common
:25:28. > :25:33.garden cat that people would know? They are quite similar in some ways.
:25:33. > :25:38.They have the stripy markings that a tabby cat has, but they have a
:25:38. > :25:42.very distinctive tail which is very stripy and has a dark black tip, as
:25:42. > :25:48.well as being very Borshi. That is what gives it its character. They
:25:48. > :25:52.are also fears. Incredibly fierce. Hence the name the Scottish tiger.
:25:52. > :25:56.Wildcats are usually larger than the average Tabley and play an
:25:56. > :25:59.important role in controlling the populations of rabbits and rodents.
:25:59. > :26:04.That being so rare, little is known about them. So Adrian is trying to
:26:04. > :26:08.catch them to find out more. Hopefully it will tell us a lot
:26:08. > :26:12.more about wild cats in this area, and also build up some information
:26:12. > :26:17.about how many we have. Then it will extrapolate and we will
:26:17. > :26:21.hopefully estimate the population in Scotland. Adrian is concerned
:26:21. > :26:26.they may be even fewer than 400 wildcats left. And it is because of
:26:26. > :26:32.a threat from feral cats. Once pets, many feral populations have lived
:26:32. > :26:36.in the wild for several generations. And they are causing problems.
:26:37. > :26:42.wild cats can potentially breed with feral cats as well. That is
:26:42. > :26:46.unfortunate because it dilutes the pure wild cat population. It can
:26:46. > :26:50.become a different type of cat. They can potentially pass disease
:26:50. > :26:55.into the wild population. If we don't do something now then we may
:26:55. > :27:00.actually lose the wild cat. To try and stop them interbreeding, Adrian
:27:00. > :27:06.is trying to lure in the feral cats with bait and catch them. But
:27:07. > :27:09.having lived wild for so long, these cats are canny. It is
:27:09. > :27:16.noticeable they are going all around the cage but not in them.
:27:16. > :27:20.You have caught quite a few here. We've already caught probably 15 or
:27:20. > :27:26.16 cats here. What do you do with the cats once you've cracked them?
:27:26. > :27:31.We take them to the Vets. They are Spader and neutered and released.
:27:31. > :27:34.So they can't hybridise with genuine Scottish wildcats. Yes. And
:27:35. > :27:40.they have a small clip taken on their ear so we can instantly
:27:40. > :27:45.recognise them if they are recaptured. It is interesting to
:27:45. > :27:50.see cats that are almost but not quite wild. It makes me want to see
:27:50. > :27:56.a wild cat even more. Although the closest I managed to get to where
:27:56. > :27:58.wild cat would these troublesome barrels, with Adrian's help the
:27:59. > :28:08.wildcat population will hopefully increase and my chances of seeing
:28:08. > :28:17.On Friday night we asked you to send in your jokes. You send in
:28:17. > :28:21.hundreds. We will read some now. Olmert, will you pick us off?
:28:21. > :28:24.I was a kid people used to cover me with cream and put cherries on my
:28:24. > :28:34.head... It was hard growing up in the gateaux. That's from Jackie
