:00:19. > :00:23.Hello and welcome to The One Show with Alex Jones. And Matt Baker.
:00:24. > :00:29.Over the year, tonight's guest has tried he easy hand at many different
:00:30. > :00:33.things. He once one an altar boy, although he got dismissed for
:00:34. > :00:38.laughing at a funeral. He then signed up as a marine cadet. He's
:00:39. > :00:43.been a bar ma'am, had a go at being a waiter, a cleaner, even a mainer
:00:44. > :00:47.boy and an accountant and a farmer! -- bar Mann. Thankfully for us, he
:00:48. > :00:54.found his forte in the world of entertainment. It's lovely Paul
:00:55. > :00:59.O'Grady! Barmam. How are you, all right? Are
:01:00. > :01:03.you? Very well, thank you. Hot off a plane. We can't believe how many
:01:04. > :01:07.jobs you have got through. Hundreds, honestly. Which is the worst one?
:01:08. > :01:11.When I worked in the abattoir. I used to work in the office there.
:01:12. > :01:18.Was that as the accountant? No, I was never an accountant. I'm
:01:19. > :01:22.dyslexic with figures. I don't know where we got that from. I got a
:01:23. > :01:27.machine and you used to put the fluid in and turn the handle and it
:01:28. > :01:30.was some of the guys who worked in the abattoir would put a pig's head
:01:31. > :01:35.on a mop and knock on the door and put it round the door and move its
:01:36. > :01:39.mouth and say "I've come for my wages". I'd sit there and it was the
:01:40. > :01:44.stench and it put me off meat, I can't tell you. I bet it did. Are
:01:45. > :01:50.you a veggie now? More or less, 90%, yes. That would do it, if anything
:01:51. > :01:58.would. And cleaning. I'm the world's worst cleaner. Should never have
:01:59. > :02:03.been a cleaner. I used to spray Pledge all round the place and I'd
:02:04. > :02:07.spray it on the phone. Then I'd sit on the couch and watch day time
:02:08. > :02:12.telly, I was the worst cleaner in the world.
:02:13. > :02:17.Later we'll be hearing about Paul's new show that sees him travel across
:02:18. > :02:22.Africa to find out about all kinds of animals that are sadly being
:02:23. > :02:26.orphaned. We'll be live in Norfolk to meet some more cute Animal
:02:27. > :02:32.Orphans. Are you there, Miranda? Yes, hi everyone. I'm at an RSPCA
:02:33. > :02:38.centre in Norfolk where during that terrible weather we had in December
:02:39. > :02:41.they were inundated with orphaned seal pups separated from their
:02:42. > :02:46.mothers in the middle of the pupping season. There is around 100 pups
:02:47. > :02:50.here. Join me later for the noisiest time of the day, feeding time! Who
:02:51. > :02:54.wants that one... Beautiful. Aren't they just
:02:55. > :02:58.beautiful. I'll have a couple, no problem. A big bath, shove them in
:02:59. > :03:02.there, quite happily feed them. This is the thing. All the animals on
:03:03. > :03:08.your farm, there's just more and more. Plenty of room for a couple of
:03:09. > :03:12.sealion pups. The RSPCA might be on to you. We know that the UK is a
:03:13. > :03:17.nation of animal lovers and that many of you watching may well have
:03:18. > :03:21.rescued an animal in disstress. So if you have, send in a picture of
:03:22. > :03:26.the animal and tell us the tale. Send them into the usual address and
:03:27. > :03:32.we'll show some of them later. Last night saw the second episode of the
:03:33. > :03:35.controversial documentary Benefits Street, aired on Channel 4. So far,
:03:36. > :03:41.the series has caused quite a stir. Hasn't it just. Aside from the huge
:03:42. > :03:44.viewing figures, the show was talked about in Parliament and there was a
:03:45. > :03:48.petition with nearly 30,000 signatures to have it taken off air.
:03:49. > :03:52.There is been hundreds of complaints to Ofcom and yesterday, protesters
:03:53. > :03:54.from across the country gathered outside the London offices of the
:03:55. > :03:58.company that make the show to protest about the apparent
:03:59. > :04:01.misrepresentation of poverty in modern Britain.
:04:02. > :04:04.If you haven't seen it and are wondering what all the fuss is
:04:05. > :04:11.about, here is a clip to get you up to speed.
:04:12. > :04:18.Unemployed, unemployed... This street here, it was one of the best
:04:19. > :04:24.streets see ya. Unemployed. Now, one of the worst. James Turner Street in
:04:25. > :04:36.Birmingham is not your average street. There are 99 house houses.
:04:37. > :04:43.13 nationalities. And most of the resident residents are claiming
:04:44. > :04:47.benefits. 5% on this street are working. We were saying you have
:04:48. > :04:50.been away on holiday and you haven't seen it? It's not the kind of
:04:51. > :04:54.problem I would want to watch, to be honest, it would rile me. It's one
:04:55. > :04:59.of those programmes to get Middle England up in arms and these people
:05:00. > :05:02.are sacrificial lambs on the altar of light entertainment and that they
:05:03. > :05:06.have gone willingly, you know, with a smart tongue which has got them to
:05:07. > :05:09.say all sorts and it's a very unfair representation of unemployment in
:05:10. > :05:13.this country because there's a lot of people who do not choose to be on
:05:14. > :05:17.benefits and this is betraying everybody on benefits that they are
:05:18. > :05:22.doing it because they want to -- portraying. I think that's why
:05:23. > :05:27.there's been a backlash. There is an estate in Birmingham called
:05:28. > :05:32.Castlevale which you didn't once go near and it's been regenerated, it's
:05:33. > :05:41.one of the nicest places you could live in, but they don't show that,
:05:42. > :05:46.do they. This will get the Daily Mail going for weeks! One of the
:05:47. > :05:51.lads on the programme's become a bit of a hero. It's unfair this kind of
:05:52. > :05:56.programming. We sent Jo to Liverpool with a one show megaphone to see...
:05:57. > :06:00.You didn't! We did, we did! Just to seize what the people of Merseyside
:06:01. > :06:07.had to say about Benefits Street and the benefits system.
:06:08. > :06:16.Come on Liverpool. We want your views. Come and give The One Show
:06:17. > :06:22.your views. Jump up here. Press the button. Press the button. Yes, I
:06:23. > :06:25.watched Benefits Street. UK understand their plight if they are
:06:26. > :06:29.really skint and stuff but every single one's got a massive TV and
:06:30. > :06:35.iPads which I haven't got and I work full-time! Did you see Benefits
:06:36. > :06:39.Street last week? I couldn't believe it. It was sad that people are
:06:40. > :06:43.living the way they were living on that street. What do you think of
:06:44. > :06:46.Benefits Street? That's just an agenda to make everyone think that
:06:47. > :06:50.that's what everyone who's on benefits is about. My missus is on
:06:51. > :06:55.benefits, she's desperate to get a job. She's not like that, the a ploy
:06:56. > :07:01.to outlaw our own. Plenty of my friends are on benefits and they
:07:02. > :07:05.feel like by programmes such as Benefits Street on Channel 4, that
:07:06. > :07:09.they are made to feel like they are taking money that isn't rightfully
:07:10. > :07:13.theirs. It's the system that's let them down in the first place. They
:07:14. > :07:16.have a right to take that money. I know people who're not like that at
:07:17. > :07:19.all. They are completely different. Do you think they were fairly
:07:20. > :07:26.represented? No. Do you think that was an accurate picture? No. It's
:07:27. > :07:31.the media over company rating, making people think that that's what
:07:32. > :07:35.people are like -- over exaggerating. Liverpool, we want
:07:36. > :07:38.your views. Share your views with The One Show. What do you think
:07:39. > :07:42.about benefits? I'm on benefits because I'm just getting over cancer
:07:43. > :07:46.so I'm really thankful because I was self-employed and I went into debt
:07:47. > :07:51.over this and it was only when I was diagnosed with cancer, I had a brain
:07:52. > :07:54.tumour, that I managed to get some kind of benefits, otherwise I would
:07:55. > :07:59.be out on the street because I couldn't afford my rent or anything
:08:00. > :08:03.like that. The people who need benefits are put through the eye of
:08:04. > :08:06.a needle to get what they deserve and there always seems to be people
:08:07. > :08:10.that don't deserve them who're not entitled to them who seem to be able
:08:11. > :08:15.to get into the system via the back door.
:08:16. > :08:18.I might be wrong, but if you really, really wanted a job, I think you
:08:19. > :08:22.would be able to find somethinged you could do, even if you didn't
:08:23. > :08:27.like it. I think we need people who're fit and able to work need to
:08:28. > :08:30.show a genuine effort in order to get the benefits. The taxpayers are
:08:31. > :08:34.not getting anything and they are getting everything.
:08:35. > :08:40.Thank you. So, slightly different take there on
:08:41. > :08:44.Benefits Street. Paul, you have said vocally that you are a supporter of
:08:45. > :08:49.the Labour Party. How would you... Iain Duncan Smith wants to reduce
:08:50. > :08:52.it, doesn't he? Yes. That man would reintroduce the workhouse if he
:08:53. > :08:57.could and he knows nothing about it. He was born with a silver spoon in
:08:58. > :09:01.his mouth and it annoys me that he's up there spouting on this. How is a
:09:02. > :09:04.family of four supposed to live on ?20,000 a year, how are they
:09:05. > :09:08.supposed to clothe their kids, you know, the basics, they are not going
:09:09. > :09:15.to be able to afford things. How would you reduce the benefit bill?
:09:16. > :09:18.Create more jobs and raise the basic wage.
:09:19. > :09:22.You will get people saying, why should I come off benefits and do
:09:23. > :09:26.that job and lose an extra ?30 a week. That's the point isn't it? And
:09:27. > :09:30.work myself to death 11 hours a day probably for it. So raise the basic
:09:31. > :09:35.wage, increase it. Give people an incentive... Exactly, to go to work.
:09:36. > :09:37.It annoys me. You get the likes of Iain Duncan Smith up there spouting
:09:38. > :09:43.this stuff, it just shows what this Government are, they really aknow
:09:44. > :09:50.me. Don't, I'm getting all airiated -- annoy me. Where are you? ! Your
:09:51. > :09:53.working roots. We'll ask you this, have you ever had chance to get
:09:54. > :09:57.behind a crane like this? No, but I've seen it and I'm very tempted.
:09:58. > :10:03.Can you put a Wrecking Ball on the end, please, let me loose? We are
:10:04. > :10:06.not going to do a Miley Cyrus, but we have a challenge for you later
:10:07. > :10:12.because we know you enjoy a challenge and it's an opportunity to
:10:13. > :10:16.add a scale. What is it? We'll keep it a surprise. You are going to
:10:17. > :10:20.drive it. Fabulous. I'll drive it home! Now, with more and more
:10:21. > :10:25.traffic on the roads, do you ever stop to wonder what effect the
:10:26. > :10:28.pollution might be having on your health? Tony has been to Sheffield
:10:29. > :10:37.where researchers are investigating just that.
:10:38. > :10:42.This is one of the busiest stretches of motorway in the UK. The M1. Just
:10:43. > :10:49.outside Sheffield. Last week, the Government announced
:10:50. > :10:58.it's planning to reduce the 32-mile stretch.
:10:59. > :10:59.These researchers are using hi-tech equipment to measure pollution
:11:00. > :11:19.levels in the city centre. A brand-new diesel car would still
:11:20. > :11:24.emit one of the key air quality pollutants at a high level. Whilst
:11:25. > :11:27.initially the big concern was the particles that were coming from
:11:28. > :11:30.diesel engines, now some of the gases that are being emitted from
:11:31. > :11:37.the diesel engines are also a big concern. Its emissions of particles
:11:38. > :11:42.and nitrogen dioxide which are the key gas concerns. So, diesel is
:11:43. > :11:46.duhhier than petrol when you are driving in the city, as the owner of
:11:47. > :11:49.a 2011 diesel car, I'm surprised by that. When I drove through the
:11:50. > :11:55.testing area myself, my results showed that while I was producing
:11:56. > :11:59.low levels of diesel particles, my news wrongen dioxide levels were
:12:00. > :12:01.high. I've always thought myself a
:12:02. > :12:10.responsible drive. I bought a diesel to save money but also to look after
:12:11. > :12:15.the planet. Now that might not be the case -- nitrogen dioxide levels.
:12:16. > :12:19.Let's get on the ramp and have a look. What do you reckon? We have
:12:20. > :12:26.the particle filter with catalysts around it. Just after the engine
:12:27. > :12:30.there. It's the catalysts around the particles particles filters which
:12:31. > :12:33.are the sources of the nitrogen dioxide emissions. How does that
:12:34. > :12:39.work? You would imagine they are there to stop problems? The particle
:12:40. > :12:45.filter doesn't clog up, the catalyst needs to be hot to work well. In
:12:46. > :12:51.urban driving, the gas is coming out of the engine when idling and
:12:52. > :12:54.decelerating and they cool the catalysts which don't work well. The
:12:55. > :12:59.catalysts are less efficient then when I'm stopping and starting. The
:13:00. > :13:03.result - more nitrogen dioxide. The Government told us they are
:13:04. > :13:07.investing over ?1 billion to cut air pollution caused by transport which
:13:08. > :13:12.will help make travelling less reliant on diesel.
:13:13. > :13:16.And Peugeot, who made by car, said their vehicles were tested to
:13:17. > :13:20.perform efficiently in a wide spectrum of conditions and
:13:21. > :13:27.especially in urban and rural areas. They also said the latest models
:13:28. > :13:30.achieved a reduction of nitrous oxide by up to 90%. One interesting
:13:31. > :13:35.find made by environmental scientists is that the particles
:13:36. > :13:40.produced by diesel engines stay low in the atmosphere. That means those
:13:41. > :13:47.likely to breathe them in are the smallest, most vulnerable of all.
:13:48. > :13:54.Children like Sophie and Jessica. Both your young girls have press
:13:55. > :13:58.pill Tory problems, how worried are you -- respiratory? More worried
:13:59. > :14:02.because they have respiratory problems. I worry about them having
:14:03. > :14:06.attacks. What scientists have discovered is that pollutants lay
:14:07. > :14:12.close to the ground, so kids are the most vulnerable. It's not very good
:14:13. > :14:16.at all is it? It's worrying. You can't keep them away from it, can
:14:17. > :14:19.you? You can't see it so you don't know when they are most at risk. I
:14:20. > :14:24.wouldn't have thought about it until you told me that but now I'll be
:14:25. > :14:29.more vigilant I think wherever we go, especially in the town centre
:14:30. > :14:31.where it's more congested. Sheffield children's hospital is a
:14:32. > :14:36.centre of excellence for the treatment of children's respiratory
:14:37. > :14:41.diseases, the most common complaints they deal with are chest infections.
:14:42. > :14:45.What contributes to traffic pollution, adding to respiratory
:14:46. > :14:52.illness in this region? It's clear that increasing levels of air
:14:53. > :14:57.pollution seem to be linked to increases in poor health from a
:14:58. > :15:02.respiratory point of view. Things like severity of asthma and
:15:03. > :15:08.respiratory infections. It does seem that high emissions can contribute
:15:09. > :15:14.to poorer respiratory health. This isn't just a problem for
:15:15. > :15:17.Sheffield. Legal levels of nitrogen dioxide set by the EU are being
:15:18. > :15:22.breached in urban areas across the UK. So who can effect change? Should
:15:23. > :15:26.it be the Government, should it be manufacturers? Or maybe it should be
:15:27. > :15:37.us, the drivers, because after all, it's us that buy these things.
:15:38. > :15:40.Thanks so much Tony. We spoke to the manufacturers representatives. They
:15:41. > :15:44.said vehicles being produced today have filters that capture over 99%
:15:45. > :15:50.of particles and are the cleanest ever. Apparently it would take so 0
:15:51. > :16:03.of today's cars to emit as much as one car made in the 1970s, so
:16:04. > :16:07.progress has been made. You had a health scare, how are you now? I had
:16:08. > :16:11.a scare and just went back to work a few days later. I refused to lie
:16:12. > :16:16.around. It's mind over matter, you can sit back and talk your tablets
:16:17. > :16:24.and go "I'm not well, I can't do that. " And you are a busy boy. Tell
:16:25. > :16:28.us about the new animal project? Basically, the the result of
:16:29. > :16:33.poaching. It's Animal Orphans and I was all over South Africa, Zambia,
:16:34. > :16:40.went to various places. I had a huge romance with a baby elephant. We
:16:41. > :16:45.saw! And a vulture. And it was just heaven, honestly. It was just
:16:46. > :16:49.lovely. But it was already very saddening. When you speak to the
:16:50. > :16:53.conservationists, they say in ten years, there'll be no rhino or
:16:54. > :16:57.elephants in the wild. They'll all be slaughtered. There are some
:16:58. > :17:00.shocking statistics. Horrific. No matter what age you are, you can sit
:17:01. > :17:05.there and watch it and it really works on so many levels this. Let's
:17:06. > :17:08.see you with the baby elephant you were talking about. Love him. Now
:17:09. > :17:16.he's settled in and really coming out of his shell and the only thing
:17:17. > :17:23.bothering him is that runny tummy. So Rachel's got a job for me. What's
:17:24. > :17:29.that? Do you want to wipe his bum? Yes, don't forget I was in social
:17:30. > :17:33.services for many a year. It's a bit stinky, so it's nice to get rid of
:17:34. > :17:39.the flies. Come here, darling, I'm going to wipe your bum. Good boy.
:17:40. > :17:46.When I went into showbiz, Rachel, I never thought I'd be wiping an
:17:47. > :17:52.elephant's bum! I did say something, I said don't
:17:53. > :17:56.worry about it, it comes to us all, seriously. But he was such a sweet
:17:57. > :18:02.heart and we really did bond, he'd wrap his trunk around my wrist and
:18:03. > :18:06.he's so young, his trunk's very weak so we'd go for walks and he'd come
:18:07. > :18:10.and leaned on me, try and climb on me, sit on my knee and he's a big
:18:11. > :18:16.lad, you know. I just fell in love with him. It also, for me, just made
:18:17. > :18:21.me so aware of what's going on with poaching. Carla's there because his
:18:22. > :18:26.mother was slaughtered. It's all for South East Asia, you know, all for,
:18:27. > :18:31.for instance in certain wealthy Dunner parties over there, they'll
:18:32. > :18:34.offer rhino horn, you know, as status symbol. I hope it poisons
:18:35. > :18:40.them all because basically it's toe nail, it's a hair ball. It's not an
:18:41. > :18:43.aphrodisiac, it has no properties, it's not magic or anything and what
:18:44. > :18:46.you are doing is slaughtering these beautiful creatures and it has to
:18:47. > :18:51.stop. Yes. It's got to stop. Is there any hope for some of the
:18:52. > :18:56.animals we met in the series? Will any be released back to the wild?
:18:57. > :19:00.The conservationists' aim at the end of the day is to get the anle thats
:19:01. > :19:03.back to the wild. They do all this hard work to put them back into the
:19:04. > :19:07.wild for them to be slaughtered - hopefully they won't be. It's such a
:19:08. > :19:10.corrupt country and it's so violent, it really is. It's a beautiful
:19:11. > :19:15.country, but it's so corrupt. So they go back in the game parks and
:19:16. > :19:19.there's nothing to stop poachers getting in because the authorities
:19:20. > :19:22.are giving them a back hander and it's dreadful. There's only one
:19:23. > :19:26.thing wrong with that series, the time that it's on. I think it's on
:19:27. > :19:31.too late. It's nice for all the family to watch it. I've had three
:19:32. > :19:35.people say to me today, my kids can't watch it and I said tape it
:19:36. > :19:40.for them or let them stay up. Hayley's topping herself before the
:19:41. > :19:46.watershed and there's me kissing a baby elephant. Always been the story
:19:47. > :19:50.of my life, put me on late. If you don't catch it, tape it. Paul's been
:19:51. > :19:55.there looking after the animals. But here in the UK, the effort to look
:19:56. > :20:00.after 100 seal pups who were orphaned after the storms is still
:20:01. > :20:04.in full swing. We should be able to go to Norfolk now where Miranda is
:20:05. > :20:11.playing mum. Look at these, Paul! I want one!
:20:12. > :20:19.Hi. I'm still here. It's getting a bit noisy. Grey seals are here and
:20:20. > :20:25.should be on the beach. But sadly due to a lot of the terrible
:20:26. > :20:29.weather, they've been beached and have come here to be looked after.
:20:30. > :20:33.I'm watching white to stop the spread of disease to the seals and
:20:34. > :20:37.from them back to me. It's feeding time, as you can see. The seals that
:20:38. > :20:44.we have got here are all named after breakfast items. So we have baked
:20:45. > :20:52.bean, bagel and chocolate. With 100 seals here, staff are absolutely
:20:53. > :20:57.working around-the-clock. Alison, the manager here, how have they
:20:58. > :21:01.changed? When they arrived, they were white little pups and have got
:21:02. > :21:05.big, lots of hard work but they are looking great. How are you coping
:21:06. > :21:08.with so many? It's really hard, physical work, but we are just
:21:09. > :21:10.getting on with it. The staff and volunteers have been fantastic, we
:21:11. > :21:16.have had no Christmas but not to worry, the pups are doing great.
:21:17. > :21:22.What are they being fed on? Mackerel and herring. Can I have a go? For
:21:23. > :21:26.the member of the public, if they find a seal pup surrounded, what
:21:27. > :21:30.should they do? They have sharp teeth, so don't approach them. Don't
:21:31. > :21:35.try this at home feeding them fish, keep dogs away and phone the RSPCA
:21:36. > :21:38.and see whether they need to be rescued or notted because some don't
:21:39. > :21:42.need to be. Brilliant. Good luck with everything. If you find a
:21:43. > :21:47.stranded seal, don't touch, keep dogs away and please phone the
:21:48. > :21:51.RSPCA. Back to the studio. They're absolutely love lift Paul is
:21:52. > :21:54.saying if he could he'd have one on the sew fasmt Watching telily with
:21:55. > :22:00.my arm round them, yes. No problem, I'll have a baby seal. You dress up
:22:01. > :22:05.in all sorts of wonderful outfits You are telling me. In this animal
:22:06. > :22:09.seerry, but get the old hard hat on. It's getting close to the time where
:22:10. > :22:14.you need to get behind the controls... It's small. Get behind
:22:15. > :22:19.the controls of that crane. OK. Come here, I'll make it bigger!
:22:20. > :22:26.For somebody with a little head, that. Perfect. March out there,
:22:27. > :22:37.they'll sort you out. Good lad! Before that, here is an explanation
:22:38. > :22:41.of how the huge cities get bigger and bigger. Cranes are familiar
:22:42. > :22:45.sight on our skylines. We don't give them a second thoughts, but
:22:46. > :22:53.constructing them is a massive undertaking. Sometimes things do go
:22:54. > :22:56.wrong. Recently, this crane collapsed on the roof of the Cabinet
:22:57. > :23:01.Office in London following high winds.
:23:02. > :23:07.At the Sheffield site of HTC Plant Ltd, they have building cranes down
:23:08. > :23:13.a fine art. You could call this the Crane School. Engineers come from
:23:14. > :23:19.all over the UK to learn how to erect all manner of cranes safely.
:23:20. > :23:24.So, how do you build a crane? First, a mobile crane begins building the
:23:25. > :23:28.fixed crane section by section. Using one crane to build another
:23:29. > :23:34.works well, but only up to a point. At a height of 70 metres, you soon
:23:35. > :23:39.run out of big mobile cranes. Since some can reach heights of 250
:23:40. > :23:46.metres, the only option is for the crane to make itself taller.
:23:47. > :23:51.To do that, it uses its own arm capable of lifting 18 tonnes to pick
:23:52. > :23:56.up each new section. Then the crane is broken in two in the middle, the
:23:57. > :23:57.top is lifted up and the new section is slotted into place.
:23:58. > :24:08.It's the riskiest thing they do. Tower cranes are designed to take a
:24:09. > :24:13.certain amount of imbalance because there's a great big lump of concrete
:24:14. > :24:17.down at the base. But, when you come to climbing the crane a bit higher,
:24:18. > :24:23.you need to take out the bolt and, at that point, the tower needs toe
:24:24. > :24:28.be perfectly balanced. This can only happen when the weight
:24:29. > :24:34.is in just the right position on the angle, otherwise, 75 tonnes of metal
:24:35. > :24:39.and the men working on it could come crashing 40 metres to the ground. At
:24:40. > :24:44.once crane is in perfect balance, you can take the pins out, the top
:24:45. > :24:48.of the crane is lifted using hydraulic jacks capable of
:24:49. > :24:54.supporting over 130 tonnes, and a new section is inserted.
:24:55. > :24:58.Because it's in perfect balance, the qhoel thing -- whole thing should
:24:59. > :25:10.stay upright. If you get the weight in the wrong place, like this...
:25:11. > :25:15.Disaster! The banksman on the ground knows the
:25:16. > :25:18.set distance that core responds to this particular weight. He
:25:19. > :25:22.communicates this information to the crane operator in the cab. They have
:25:23. > :25:27.started to increase the height of the crane. All around the base of
:25:28. > :25:30.the crane, there's an exclusion zone and nobody is allowed into that
:25:31. > :25:36.zone. The guys on the crane at the moment
:25:37. > :25:41.are both highly trained and they're wearing harnesses. I'm neither of
:25:42. > :25:46.those things so I'm staying a safe distance away. With the first new
:25:47. > :25:51.section ready to slide in, the men hammer out the huge pins.
:25:52. > :25:54.The supervisor activates the hydraulics that shift the top of the
:25:55. > :25:59.crane upwards. This is where the balance of the
:26:00. > :26:02.crane is crucial with the pins removed the top section is
:26:03. > :26:10.effectively disconnected with the rest of the crane and it's then
:26:11. > :26:14.jacked up with hydraulic ramps. At the most dangerous part of the
:26:15. > :26:22.process, the new section is slid into place. Then the puns are
:26:23. > :26:27.hammered in to secure the tower once more -- the pins. A section in, it's
:26:28. > :26:34.now four-and-a-half meeters taller. Now for the next one. As each
:26:35. > :26:39.section is added, the next one is positioned at just the right
:26:40. > :26:48.location to ensure the crane is perfectly balanced as it climbs.
:26:49. > :26:52.In four hours, the crane has grown taller by 22 metres.
:26:53. > :26:58.Without tower cranes, the buildings in our modern city wouldn't exist.
:26:59. > :27:00.Yet how many of us have paused to think about the extraordinary
:27:01. > :27:06.engineering that goes into making these things?
:27:07. > :27:10.Thank you very much, Martin. As you can see, Paul is sitting comfortably
:27:11. > :27:15.in his mini crane. Feeling all right? Yes. To find out what the
:27:16. > :27:22.challenge is, over to Matt. OK, Paul? ! Yes. You have got to
:27:23. > :27:26.hoist this ferry 100 kilos up to about my head height and then
:27:27. > :27:30.gracefully transport it across the Mersey which is the tarpaulin
:27:31. > :27:35.really. I should have had my wellies on for this. Then you have to park
:27:36. > :27:36.it into Albert Dock. Doddle. All right. Whenever you're ready, go for
:27:37. > :27:49.it. Three, two, one, off you go. Raise the ferry high. That's high
:27:50. > :27:56.enough. That's good. Nice and gentle. He's got a swing opt ferry.
:27:57. > :28:02.He's got to be quick. Go on, Paul. This is good. This is very good.
:28:03. > :28:09.The spectators are very brave. There we are, look.
:28:10. > :28:15.I'm enjoying this. Hang on. Watch out!
:28:16. > :28:19.Tell you what, keep going, keep going. A I'm not responsible for any
:28:20. > :28:23.damage. Earlier on, we asked for your pictures of animals that you
:28:24. > :28:31.have rescued. Let's have a little look.
:28:32. > :28:41.Hang on, we are lowering. Going down.
:28:42. > :28:47.Parked in Albert Dock. How's that! Well done, Paul. Listen, thanks for
:28:48. > :28:50.that. Thanks for all the pictures, we have had loads and you can catch
:28:51. > :28:57.the first episode of Animal Orphans show tonight at 9 o'clock on ITV. We
:28:58. > :28:58.are back tomorrow with Fiona Bruce, see you then, bye!
