:00:20. > :00:24.Hello and welcome to the One Show with Matt Baker. And Alex Jones.

:00:24. > :00:28.Tonight we are joined by an actor who has been driving his wife up

:00:28. > :00:34.the war for 11 years. I'm going to put a marriage proposal together

:00:34. > :00:39.that will make this one. From nausea, no doubt. I know a thing or

:00:39. > :00:43.two about asking a woman to marry me, remember? You were so drunk

:00:43. > :00:53.that you mutter that something and then passed out. As I recall, is

:00:53. > :00:59.said yes. I was drunk, too. Who's the daddy? It is Robert Lindsay!

:00:59. > :01:04.am not like that at all, you know. That is nothing like me at all.

:01:04. > :01:10.series, you must be like a family. I have had two sons born during the

:01:10. > :01:16.making of My Family. There they all are, bless them. We are still in

:01:16. > :01:21.touch. Speaking of your real children, it is Father's Day. What

:01:21. > :01:26.are your plans? I did not even know that. Expect some presence. I will

:01:26. > :01:31.not know, will I? I will be woken up at six in the morning, which is

:01:31. > :01:36.so exciting on a Sunday, isn't it? I used sporting a beard in a new

:01:36. > :01:40.series? This was grown so I could be anonymous, but now I have come

:01:40. > :01:46.on TV, so I will not be any more. We will be talking to Robert about

:01:46. > :01:48.the new and final series of My Family later. If you have always

:01:48. > :01:53.dreamt of a town without parking restrictions and no traffic wardens,

:01:53. > :01:57.dream no more. Just follow the lead that -- yellow line to Aberystwyth

:01:57. > :02:01.to discover a parking paradise where the only one handing out

:02:01. > :02:06.tickets is our very own Matt Allwright.

:02:06. > :02:09.Parking, it is the pet hate of drivers everywhere, and the ones

:02:09. > :02:14.inevitably face our wrath are traffic wardens. Most of us

:02:14. > :02:19.probably wish they would disappear. Jeremy Clarkson, your dream has

:02:19. > :02:28.finally come true. In, of all places, Aberystwyth, there are no

:02:28. > :02:35.traffic wardens any more. They have Look at that, shambolic. You would

:02:35. > :02:39.fail your test for that, you know. It is mayhem. Anarchy! The local

:02:39. > :02:42.council did not want to talk to me about the matter, but I managed to

:02:42. > :02:48.collar some opposition councillors to up the figure out what is going

:02:48. > :02:52.on. Councils across the country are taking on responsibility for street

:02:52. > :02:57.parking from the police. Ceredigion council has simply resisted doing

:02:57. > :03:00.this. The police finally lost patience and said, stuff it, we are

:03:00. > :03:04.making the traffic wardens redundant. The council have

:03:04. > :03:10.belatedly agreed to take on the powers, but it takes 10 months to

:03:10. > :03:14.get the scheme together, so here we are, in this situation. I have not

:03:14. > :03:19.seen any fist-fights, is this a beautiful new dawn for motoring?

:03:19. > :03:24.There are a couple of streets in Aberystwyth where people will shut

:03:24. > :03:28.down the town by parking illegally. So the councillors reckon that life

:03:28. > :03:33.in the town is tough without wardens, but I'm struggling to

:03:33. > :03:38.believe that the people who love here would have them back. -- Live.

:03:38. > :03:43.You could get your deliveries in. As we are speaking, we see a blue

:03:43. > :03:48.MG pulling into a space of there. That is usually reserved for Blue

:03:48. > :03:53.badge holders. I do not know if you have noticed, but it is no parking.

:03:53. > :03:57.I have noticed, but you can get away with it. You know there are no

:03:57. > :04:03.traffic wardens. How is that working? It seems to be worse since

:04:03. > :04:08.they have gone. People park anywhere. Gareth, this is your car.

:04:08. > :04:12.You would get a ticket normally for that. Yeah, but there is nobody

:04:12. > :04:19.about. I have only been five minutes. Seven minutes because I am

:04:19. > :04:22.talking to you. You are keeping heat here longer, really. How have

:04:22. > :04:28.things been four years since there has been no traffic enforcement?

:04:28. > :04:32.has been more difficult for me to park. People are parking here

:04:32. > :04:36.without blue badges because they know... They Think nobody will

:04:36. > :04:40.catch them, but I will be phoning the police if I catch them. I have

:04:40. > :04:44.come to chat with the chief inspector to see how the police are

:04:44. > :04:49.handling things. You are in charge of Parkin, looking after that, but

:04:49. > :04:53.now you are not. -- parking. gave the council two years' notice

:04:53. > :04:57.that we were intending to do this. It is happening in every other

:04:57. > :05:02.authority, it is a national trend. It has left a vacuum because you

:05:02. > :05:07.have stepped away. It sounds like the Council have not stepped up.

:05:07. > :05:10.there are problems, the police will still issue tickets on foot patrol.

:05:10. > :05:15.We are where we are, unfortunately. Just because there are no traffic

:05:15. > :05:19.once does not mean you will not get nicked. You still can get a fixed

:05:19. > :05:26.penalty for violating a traffic regulation. That is what I said,

:05:26. > :05:30.but in police! Yes! Who is to blame for the hiatus in traffic

:05:30. > :05:34.enforcement? It does not look like anything is going to change soon. I

:05:34. > :05:39.can safely say that traffic wardens are going to become more popular

:05:39. > :05:49.here than anywhere else in the I am going to get in on the act

:05:49. > :05:52.That is extraordinary, isn't it? The local council says it hoped

:05:52. > :05:57.that community support officers would have handled parking duties

:05:57. > :05:59.but this had not been possible. police remain responsible for the

:05:59. > :06:05.enforcement of road traffic regulations until new wardens can

:06:05. > :06:11.be hired. I have to say, I have never met anybody with more parking

:06:11. > :06:17.fines than Alex. It is unbelievable. No, I have the record. I've

:06:17. > :06:22.wallpapered a loo with my tickets. I am serious, I did. They look

:06:22. > :06:28.really cool, actually. That is an idea for you. They see me coming,

:06:28. > :06:31.it is like a magnet! Whether it is parked illegally or not. What are

:06:32. > :06:37.your thoughts on average there? is kind of heaven, knowing that

:06:37. > :06:41.there are no wardens. Where I live, there is a car park, I park there,

:06:41. > :06:44.but I end up getting a ticket because I never puts the right

:06:45. > :06:50.amount of time on it. If I park on the double yellow lines, I never

:06:50. > :06:53.get anything. The law is an ass, really, isn't it? Anyway, when we

:06:53. > :06:57.send Phil Tufnell out to investigate the stories behind

:06:57. > :07:02.artistic treasures, he has a habit of turning up in random places.

:07:02. > :07:05.came as no surprise when we discovered his latest film was in a

:07:05. > :07:08.shopping centre. Who would have thought that Redditch near

:07:08. > :07:13.Birmingham would be the home of one of our most prized modern art

:07:13. > :07:17.treasures? This masterpiece is not in a gallery or a museum, it is

:07:17. > :07:22.right were the people, not the art world, spend their leisure time. It

:07:22. > :07:27.is in a huge shopping centre at 150 shops and 10 million visitors every

:07:27. > :07:30.year. Back in the early 1980s, this centre was as one of many trying to

:07:30. > :07:40.get noticed. The council and the developers really wanted something

:07:40. > :07:48.

:07:48. > :07:55.to make their stand out, and they Inside an atrium are 12 mosaic

:07:55. > :08:01.panels, each measuring 21 ft by 10 feet. They cost �125,000 in 1982.

:08:01. > :08:05.Today they are worth millions. The mosaic panels were created by

:08:05. > :08:11.artist Eduardo Paolozzi. Despite the Italian name, he was a Scot and

:08:11. > :08:15.a founding father of pop art. Pop Art's biggest names are American,

:08:15. > :08:20.Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, but the young Paolozzi was there

:08:20. > :08:24.first. The world-class sculpture and collage pioneer, his mosaics

:08:24. > :08:29.are also at Tottenham Court Road Tube station. David Britton is an

:08:29. > :08:34.authority. R Hart was invented by a group of British artists at the

:08:34. > :08:38.very beginning of the 1950s. -- part art. Paolozzi was a key figure

:08:38. > :08:42.among these people. I think he is underrated, but his reputation is

:08:42. > :08:48.beginning to grow again, because people are starting to say that he

:08:48. > :08:52.was not just a pop innovator but was ahead of his time in terms of

:08:52. > :08:57.the understanding of computer imagery, machine imagery, digital

:08:58. > :09:02.culture. Until his death in 2005, Paolozzi continued his work as a

:09:02. > :09:07.sculptor and artist, drawing inspiration from popular culture.

:09:07. > :09:11.Is his trademark Paolozzi? This is absolutely typical of his work. He

:09:12. > :09:16.was an amazing and prolific collector of magazines. He used to

:09:16. > :09:20.use these images as source material for these murals. You can see it in

:09:21. > :09:25.things like the Robarts, the cutaway faces and bids and pieces.

:09:25. > :09:31.You can see his concern with contemporary issues. This is a

:09:31. > :09:36.project that he really liked, in the middle of everyday life. Adrian

:09:36. > :09:42.is a British Italian, just like Paolozzi. His family originally

:09:42. > :09:45.came from Italy's Mosaic Capitol, where Paolozzi's mosaic was

:09:45. > :09:51.manufactured. The panels were transported in small sections from

:09:51. > :09:56.Italy. Adrian and his late father then installed them here. Until we

:09:56. > :10:00.pulled the paper off to expose the artist's work, we do not see it. We

:10:00. > :10:06.see it at that moment, and that is the moment that the whole thing is

:10:06. > :10:11.revealed. Was the artist here to see it? No. We were the first ones.

:10:11. > :10:15.We are the first ones to see it. What They Think of his work? I like

:10:16. > :10:19.it. It is in areas where ordinary people can see it, unlike art

:10:19. > :10:23.galleries, where you have to make a physical effort to go there. You

:10:24. > :10:29.can just go shopping or get on a Tube station and see his work of

:10:30. > :10:33.art. It is amazing. In 1983, the town turned out to film the Queen

:10:33. > :10:38.when she came to Redditch to commemorate the completion of the

:10:38. > :10:42.sender and its mosaic. Today Redditch may not know much about

:10:42. > :10:47.Paolozzi's art, but it knows what it likes. It is different, not a

:10:47. > :10:52.boring advertising poster. It makes it more cheerful, doesn't it?

:10:52. > :10:56.are wonderful, it is part of the heritage of Redditch. A Did you

:10:56. > :11:02.know that they were done by an important artist? I did not know

:11:02. > :11:06.that. I did not know much about who did them. I have noticed them, but

:11:06. > :11:12.actually I have not really looked at them that well. Do you like

:11:12. > :11:17.modern art? And not always sure I understand what it is telling me. -

:11:17. > :11:20.- I am not always sure. But this is nice. Even if you do not like the

:11:20. > :11:28.art, you can do a bit of shopping. You cannot say that about every art

:11:28. > :11:31.That shopping centre is going to be rammed with art lovers at the

:11:31. > :11:36.weekend. Robert, you were saying you have a bit of a thing for

:11:36. > :11:40.public art. I think it is important that you cheer up an area. Where I

:11:40. > :11:44.come from in the Midlands, because the recession has hit quite badly,

:11:44. > :11:50.a lot of the shops are boarded up. They are putting old photographs of

:11:50. > :11:56.the town, how it was 100 years ago. It kind of gives it some essence of

:11:56. > :12:00.aliveness about it. I think public art, the problem is with this chap

:12:00. > :12:08.is that it is going to be worth a fortune. Someone is going to make

:12:08. > :12:13.it bit by bit. Do not give them ideas, Robert! Let's talk about My

:12:13. > :12:16.Family, going into the 11th and final series on Friday on BBC One.

:12:16. > :12:23.It must be hard to see a long- running series coming to an end. Is

:12:23. > :12:27.it fair to say you are quite upset when you found out. No, I must

:12:27. > :12:31.redress that, because we knew, it was a mutual decision between us

:12:31. > :12:37.and the BBC. The cast all realise that the programme had come to an

:12:37. > :12:42.end because the kids had grown up. Chris had left a few series ago,

:12:42. > :12:48.and we realised that the real humour of any domestic comedy is

:12:48. > :12:55.kids, as Outnumbered has proved. Kids are the real fun. My own son,

:12:55. > :13:02.last month, we went into a shop, and he asked me in a crowded shop

:13:02. > :13:07.what mental pause was. You try and explain that! Those are the kind of

:13:07. > :13:11.humour that we had in My Family, and we realised we were losing that

:13:11. > :13:17.as the kids were flying the nest. Fortunately, my co-star, Zoe

:13:17. > :13:21.Wanamaker, is adorable. We are very, very close. The chemistry on screen

:13:21. > :13:27.is brilliant, people love the bickering. You should see the out-

:13:27. > :13:30.takes. We have never allowed the show to see the Blue verse, which

:13:30. > :13:38.is a mistake, because some of the out-takes are adorable. Thursday

:13:38. > :13:41.night, when we used to record it, was just a party, it really was. So

:13:41. > :13:45.we -- as Owen and I are quite good with the expletives, which the

:13:45. > :13:51.audience loved! It is rather gladiatorial, actually. They want

:13:51. > :13:56.to see you go wrong. What did the audience see going wrong? I cannot

:13:56. > :14:00.repeat it because we are free watershed! It sometimes became a

:14:00. > :14:05.post-watershed show, let's put it that way. What can viewers look

:14:05. > :14:09.forward to one screen? My favourite one in his next series is when Ben

:14:09. > :14:14.decides to take up Botox. He is losing a lot of patience, and his

:14:14. > :14:20.first experiment is on his wife. Ben is a dentist, or people who

:14:20. > :14:25.have not seen it. I presume some dentists would do it. Hypodermics

:14:25. > :14:30.are not funny, you know. I do not know if you have noticed that. If

:14:30. > :14:34.you produce a needle in a comedy show, they sort of stop laughing.

:14:34. > :14:44.Whoever devises a show about a dentist and a dental surgery is

:14:44. > :14:48.

:14:48. > :14:52.You played a Ben and he is quite grumpy, isn't he? Yes, and I used

:14:52. > :14:57.to bring him home a bit. I am not grumpy by nature but they would

:14:57. > :15:03.disagree with that. But he did have the character does start to seep

:15:03. > :15:07.into your real persona. It is inevitable. But Zoe and Di and the

:15:07. > :15:15.BBC all agreed, nobody knew it was going to be the end of the show,

:15:15. > :15:19.but deep down we thought enough was enough. What I will say is, we talk

:15:19. > :15:25.about the cast and Zoe and the kids, but as we all know the show is

:15:25. > :15:30.about make-up, wardrobe, designers, editors. It is all about a lot of

:15:30. > :15:35.people. So you say goodbye to a lot of people and that is sad. We all

:15:35. > :15:39.keeping touch, the cast, but there's a whole lot of friends who

:15:39. > :15:46.have to move on and that is always sad. It is always sad when a show

:15:47. > :15:51.finishes. To Gloucestershire and the poor people of Stone. It is a

:15:52. > :15:58.village just off the M5 when they were Cup to find a One Show film

:15:58. > :16:03.crew and bail out on their doorstep. -- they woke up. They were set a

:16:03. > :16:06.simple challenge but would they rise to the occasion?

:16:06. > :16:11.Stone is a village in Gloucestershire. The Blood Donor

:16:11. > :16:16.van used to come here but it stopped visiting 10 years ago. But

:16:16. > :16:21.today, it is coming back in the hope that they will get blood out

:16:21. > :16:29.of Stone. The wagon at roles in and the Women's Institute is out in

:16:29. > :16:32.force. But will any donors show up? The big problem is it is a very

:16:33. > :16:37.small community and I understand the average intake is 4% of the

:16:37. > :16:44.population. We have got a lovely community spirit. Everybody wants

:16:44. > :16:52.to help. I will be very upset if it is a disappointing turnout.

:16:52. > :16:57.would be fantastic if we could get up to 25 today. Blood transfusions

:16:57. > :17:04.are used to treat everything from cancer to life-threatening injuries.

:17:04. > :17:07.Hospitals need instant access to fresh supplies around the clock. At

:17:07. > :17:15.this processing plant in Bristol, blood is ready and waiting to save

:17:15. > :17:19.lives. This is the largest manufacturing site in the whole

:17:19. > :17:24.world and we try to break it up into its various components. They

:17:24. > :17:27.are all used in different forms of treatment, so, for example,

:17:27. > :17:31.platelets are used in leukaemia treatment but red blood cells is

:17:31. > :17:38.more for accidents and trauma. It is all fresh and it is normally

:17:38. > :17:44.from the day before. We have to do this because of the shelf-life. It

:17:44. > :17:50.has a short shelf-life. This is the end process and where the blood is

:17:50. > :17:55.manufactured. It is now issued out to the hospitals. It is amazing. We

:17:55. > :18:01.have hundreds if not thousands of units waiting to go out. Do people

:18:01. > :18:09.taking for granted that the supply is on tap? I think some do. We need

:18:09. > :18:15.230,000 new donors every year just to keep the supply going. You are

:18:15. > :18:20.our first customer! You are particularly welcome! The people of

:18:20. > :18:24.Stone bigging giving blood, and one don't knows just how important it

:18:24. > :18:30.is. You have bought in some pictures of your son here and he is

:18:30. > :18:34.obviously very premature. He is tiny? He was born just under 30

:18:35. > :18:39.weeks, so he was 10 weeks early. He was struggling so much to breathe.

:18:39. > :18:42.It was quite frightening. He did deteriorate and that is when they

:18:43. > :18:48.decided to give him a blood transfusion. The difference it made

:18:48. > :18:56.in him was amazing. When they are born at this stage it can be life-

:18:56. > :18:59.and-death? It can. And here he is, on a happier note. He is on holiday

:18:59. > :19:04.campaign in Devon and he is now 20. It doesn't get much better than

:19:04. > :19:10.that. It doesn't and we are very proud am pleased that whoever

:19:10. > :19:15.donated blood then saved my son's life. Although there are only 500

:19:15. > :19:21.people in Stone it is a healthy turnout so far. That is at least a

:19:21. > :19:25.tenth in there. But even more. But one first-time donor is very

:19:25. > :19:31.nervous. Sharon has been dreading the needles but we have been

:19:31. > :19:37.assuring how it will be nothing. It will feel like nothing. A bit of

:19:37. > :19:42.rain it up. It is like something catching hold of you. You are doing

:19:42. > :19:48.really well. Thank you. After just nine minutes of donating, Sharon

:19:48. > :19:54.had beaten her fear. That is brilliant. Well done, you! You have

:19:55. > :20:03.done the hard work. You have. it make you feel funny? No, not at

:20:03. > :20:07.all. Not as bad as you thought? Nowhere near as bad. Closing time,

:20:07. > :20:12.and Stone's generosity has exceeded expectations.

:20:12. > :20:15.The results are in. I have got to say that when we came this morning,

:20:15. > :20:23.we were wondering whether anybody would turn up, and a vacuum has

:20:23. > :20:31.given as a village 34 units, which is far more than we expected. --

:20:31. > :20:36.and you have given. It is proof that you can get blood out of Stone.

:20:36. > :20:42.And Dr Mark Porter joins us now on World Blood Donor Day with Hannah

:20:42. > :20:49.Gregory. It is incredible. You needed 32 pts after you

:20:49. > :20:55.haemorrhaged at 32 weeks into your pregnancy. Yes. It is four times

:20:55. > :20:59.the amount of blood that Hannah has in a body. It was 2:30am on a

:20:59. > :21:03.Saturday and I woke up suddenly and realised my waters had broken and I

:21:04. > :21:09.was bleeding very happily. Luckily, my husband was there and he was

:21:09. > :21:14.amazing. He phoned for an ambulance and I was taken straight to the

:21:14. > :21:19.Princess Royal and the staff were amazing. They had to knock me out

:21:19. > :21:24.straight away and a general anaesthetic. They got the baby out

:21:24. > :21:28.and he was fine and healthy. No problem. But then they discovered I

:21:28. > :21:33.had a very rare problem with my placenta which meant that I carried

:21:33. > :21:39.on bleeding profusely. I lost my entire blood volume time and time

:21:39. > :21:43.again so as fast as they were putting it in, it was coming out.

:21:43. > :21:51.So, 32 points to the point where I had to be resuscitated twice or

:21:51. > :21:55.stop -- 32 pts. Doctors said, she is only just going to make it. I

:21:55. > :21:59.was in intensive care and critical for 36 hours and then I was woken

:22:00. > :22:04.up by my husband on Sunday afternoon and shown a picture of my

:22:04. > :22:10.son. It was amazing because I did not think he would survive. How was

:22:10. > :22:14.it for you when you did come round? I could not believe my son was fine.

:22:14. > :22:21.I could not believe they told me I had had that amount of blood but

:22:21. > :22:30.intimate. There is a shortage of blood donors. How much does the NHS

:22:30. > :22:38.need on a daily basis? We need around 10,000 donors a day. Only

:22:38. > :22:45.one in 25 of us donate regularly. Can anybody donate? Nearly anybody.

:22:45. > :22:48.If you are over 17 and above a certain weight. Others who cannot.

:22:48. > :22:52.There has been controversy about gay men who have been sexually

:22:52. > :22:57.active and have been banned. Those restrictions are going to be

:22:57. > :23:02.reduced somewhat. So most can give blood or stop if in doubt, go and

:23:02. > :23:08.ask. And some communities have low rates of donation than others,

:23:08. > :23:14.don't they? Yes. For some communities it is particularly low.

:23:14. > :23:17.Black African, Caribbean and Asian, they only have 3% of donors. So we

:23:17. > :23:27.would like to see more from those communities, and we need more young

:23:27. > :23:33.donors. Thank you very much, Mark. You said you felt terribly guilty

:23:33. > :23:41.after seeing that film? I don't like needles or blood, but I do

:23:41. > :23:46.like tea and biscuits. It is a cold drink now. Preparing for your

:23:46. > :23:53.driving test is not just about perfecting your turns. It also

:23:54. > :23:58.means checking your eyesight. Sangita Myska has been checking the

:23:58. > :24:04.requirements. New regulations could make it easier for people with poor

:24:04. > :24:07.eyesight to pass their test. Anybody who has taken a driving

:24:07. > :24:11.test will run for the first part - being asked to read a number plate.

:24:11. > :24:17.But now some are saying it is not sufficient to check your eyesight

:24:17. > :24:21.is good enough. So you might be pleased gym that the Government is

:24:21. > :24:28.bringing in new changes. You might be less pleased to hear they are

:24:28. > :24:33.making it easier. Safety groups have been shocked. If it is such a

:24:33. > :24:37.bad idea, why are the Government thinking about it? They say it will

:24:37. > :24:40.bring us in line with the rest of Europe but critics say it is the

:24:40. > :24:49.wrong decision and they are missing the chance to make our roads a

:24:50. > :24:55.safer place. In the current test, you are asked it to read a number

:24:55. > :25:02.plate from 20 metres away. The Government wants to reduce this

:25:02. > :25:09.distance to 17.5 metres. So will that make much difference? Can you

:25:09. > :25:15.read the number played nearer to us? -- the number plate. I haven't

:25:15. > :25:25.got my glasses on. We asked a fair selection of people, and to their

:25:25. > :25:26.

:25:26. > :25:31.credit, they got it right. And the one that is further away? Mark can

:25:31. > :25:36.read a number plate at 17.5 metres but he struggles at 20. But rather

:25:36. > :25:42.than being overjoyed at getting behind the wheel, he wants to seek

:25:42. > :25:47.tougher tests brought in. In the current format, it is not very

:25:47. > :25:53.standardised. If you take it on one day, I seem to go to a different

:25:53. > :25:58.result than on another day. There is a proposal on the table that

:25:58. > :26:02.would make the test a bit easier. What do you think of that? I am

:26:02. > :26:05.sure it would make it easier for me to pass but you are not going to

:26:05. > :26:10.get the fine detail of the result that will tell you whether or not

:26:10. > :26:14.you should be driving. Campaigners say this change would be a mistake

:26:14. > :26:19.but also a missed opportunity to weed out the dangerous drivers.

:26:19. > :26:26.Fiona was killed by an elderly driver with poor eyes side. We were

:26:26. > :26:33.told the driver was tested and he was well below the legal

:26:33. > :26:40.requirement for driving. He had cataracts. The driver who killed

:26:40. > :26:45.Fiona was convicted of causing death by dangerous driving.

:26:45. > :26:51.life was worth three points on his licence. It is not just grieving

:26:51. > :26:57.families calling for tougher tests. Francesco believes that the number

:26:57. > :26:59.plate test should be scrapped in favour of a more regular side have.

:26:59. > :27:04.She is from the Advisory Committee on the Safety of Blood, Tissues and

:27:05. > :27:10.Organs. She says you need a more strict test on your peripheral

:27:10. > :27:14.vision, what you can see out of the corner of your eye. The reason they

:27:14. > :27:18.have decided to make a test where it is easier to see is because they

:27:18. > :27:22.think it will bring it in line with the rest of Europe, but in Europe

:27:22. > :27:26.they do not use the number plate test. They actually use a line on

:27:26. > :27:31.the eye test chart in the consulting room. Why is getting

:27:31. > :27:37.somebody to read a line of letters any better to read in an optician's

:27:37. > :27:41.room rather than a line of letters on a number plate? They also check

:27:41. > :27:48.the patient's pro-reform vision. There are other tests that can be

:27:48. > :27:54.done. -- patient's pro-reform vision. They can use standard lines

:27:54. > :27:59.on the chart. To find out why it is so important to be aware of what is

:27:59. > :28:03.happening off your eye line, I have come to this Nottingham driving

:28:03. > :28:07.simulator to see how we get on with a pair of glasses that have a

:28:07. > :28:13.vision defect. If you are driving in a straight line and something

:28:13. > :28:17.comes from the left or the right hand side, a bicycle, a child, you

:28:17. > :28:22.are not going to see it and that could definitely caused an accident.

:28:22. > :28:27.The great worry is that there's lots of eye conditions, especially

:28:27. > :28:37.club hammer, which can cause vision to diminished without the patient

:28:37. > :28:38.

:28:38. > :28:44.being aware of it. -- club Kyle Bartley. Oh! That was a person,

:28:44. > :28:51.wasn't it? It was a pedestrian, yes. Despite these concerns, the

:28:51. > :28:57.Government said it wants to balance the number of people being allowed

:28:57. > :29:02.to drive with safety. Go easy. As Robert found out

:29:02. > :29:07.earlier on, surprise, it is Father's Day on Sunday. So if you

:29:07. > :29:15.want to shout out about what your dad has done for you, do send us an
