:00:18. > :00:19.Hello and welcome to The One Show with Alex Jones...
:00:20. > :00:24.It's been another busy day in Downing Street,
:00:25. > :00:27.with hirings and firings galore - and the first day on the job
:00:28. > :00:29.for new ministers like Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson.
:00:30. > :00:32.If any world leaders need advice on how to handle him -
:00:33. > :00:37.they could get some tips from our guest tonight.
:00:38. > :00:46.We do need to move on, we have a lot to cover. I will tell you what to
:00:47. > :00:55.corp. It is not the Boris Johnson Show it is the mar Armagh! I get to
:00:56. > :00:59.answer the questions. -- it's the Andrew Marr Show.
:01:00. > :01:03.Well, now we get to ask the questions, because it's not
:01:04. > :01:06.the Andrew Marr Show, it's The One Show with Andrew Marr!
:01:07. > :01:09.A lot of people were surprised that Boris was made Foreign Secretary -
:01:10. > :01:15.At first, I thought, what is she up to. What is going on? This is a man
:01:16. > :01:20.who has insulted many leading figures in the world.
:01:21. > :01:28.He has, he called Vladimir Putin, Dobby The House Elf and Hillary
:01:29. > :01:36.Clinton, comparing her to a sadistic nurse... Well, it is a grand tierlt,
:01:37. > :01:43.and Theresa May has to give the Brexiters a big job, and has given
:01:44. > :01:46.Boris Johnson a grand title. But the Foreign Office does not do as much
:01:47. > :01:53.these days, Downing Street does more. And there are two things that
:01:54. > :01:59.the Foreign Office has to do, that is to negotiate Brexit but that has
:02:00. > :02:05.been given to David Davis, out of Boris' brief and to renegotiate
:02:06. > :02:11.trade deals around the world, that has been left to Liam Fox. So Boris
:02:12. > :02:14.is flying the flag. It is a brutal piece of clever promotioning.
:02:15. > :02:20.Did you see that George Osborne would have no role? No, I didn't.
:02:21. > :02:24.Like a lot of people, I thought Philip Hammond was a lickly bet for
:02:25. > :02:27.the Chancellor but I did not think that George would leave Government
:02:28. > :02:30.entirely. That was a big surprise. I didn't see Boris Johnson going to
:02:31. > :02:33.the Foreign Secretary. I think Theresa May has surprised a lot of
:02:34. > :02:38.us today. The last couple of days.
:02:39. > :02:42.She's going to be quite tough? There is a sense that the silly boys have
:02:43. > :02:47.messed things up and it is time for a woman to come in and sort things
:02:48. > :02:53.out. Michael Gove off to the naughty step! There he goes.
:02:54. > :02:57.In Andrew's latest novel, the Labour Party tries to replace its leader,
:02:58. > :03:00.the Government has no plans for Brexit and the pound falls... He
:03:01. > :03:05.wrote this a year before the referendum! More from the man we are
:03:06. > :03:08.now calling Mystic Marr! More later on.
:03:09. > :03:15.It's a good title! Thank you very much. He may not be much of a
:03:16. > :03:19.novelist but a lot of the things in the novels have been predicted,
:03:20. > :03:23.Brexit. This is about a left-wing Labour leader and a Blairite coup
:03:24. > :03:26.against him. I don't know where that came from.
:03:27. > :03:31.Who wears cream suits. More about that later. But let's have a look at
:03:32. > :03:37.this photo. The first thing that that David Cameron did as a Tory
:03:38. > :03:41.leader was to hug a husky to boost green credentials, some may say it
:03:42. > :03:45.was hollow. But the Government has been
:03:46. > :03:53.committed to changing the climate, so how is that going? Drax Power
:03:54. > :03:59.Station. 40 years, it has been famous for infamous for burning
:04:00. > :04:03.coal. 10 million tons a year. Generating the energy needed to
:04:04. > :04:10.power 6 million homes. But by 2025, to combat climate change, the
:04:11. > :04:20.Government has promised no Kohlschreiber energy powered
:04:21. > :04:31.stations, so what next? Here our load is 165 re 50ing to of pebble
:04:32. > :04:37.yets. Touted as the environment's solution to energy problems. So I
:04:38. > :04:45.head up to meet the CEO here. Andy Cost. This year, two thirds of
:04:46. > :04:51.the electricity produced is from wood pellets. Koal is an old fuel.
:04:52. > :04:57.We made the decision to upgrade to make the plant run on wood pellets.
:04:58. > :05:02.Especially designed trains transport them. The train is above us. The
:05:03. > :05:07.pellets go into the containers here and at the bottom, a giant blue
:05:08. > :05:14.sieve that keeps the pellets moving on to the conveyor belt. The belts
:05:15. > :05:18.carry them across the sites, into the giant especially constructed
:05:19. > :05:22.domes that hold up to 80,000 tons of wood pellets. Enough to provide
:05:23. > :05:30.electricity for 40,000 homes for an entire year.
:05:31. > :05:36.And they are huge... Each dome was inflated on site, then covered in
:05:37. > :05:42.concrete. You hear that strange chirping? That
:05:43. > :05:47.is actually a especially designed Sonia system that tempts the
:05:48. > :05:50.controlroom how full the dome is. Normally it is saled and pitch black
:05:51. > :05:55.in here. When needed, the pellets are crushed
:05:56. > :06:01.into giant grinding mills and the wood dust is fed to the furnaces.
:06:02. > :06:04.The generating manager has overseen the change.
:06:05. > :06:11.The full length of the building is over half a mile. When I started in
:06:12. > :06:18.1980, there was half of this. So we doubled the size.
:06:19. > :06:24.Across the shawl the furnace, it reaches up to 1,500 degrees Celsius.
:06:25. > :06:28.Now to the giant Turbine Hall. This is the generator. It makes the
:06:29. > :06:33.electricity. All of that, boilers, fans, wood
:06:34. > :06:37.pellets, it all comes down to this? It is so small, isn't it? It is
:06:38. > :06:44.small. Critics say burning wood for power
:06:45. > :06:51.on this scale cannot be flavourally friendly but the CEO disagrees.
:06:52. > :06:55.We are saving 80% of the emissions we would produce using coal by using
:06:56. > :06:59.the wood pellets. Here you are still burning
:07:00. > :07:02.something, can it ever be environmentally friendly to burn
:07:03. > :07:08.wood? If it comes from a sustainable Forest, we think it is. We are not
:07:09. > :07:12.chopping the rainforests downs, we are using working commercial
:07:13. > :07:20.forests. Drax have been accuse does of green
:07:21. > :07:26.washing the facts, the managed forestry that produces this requires
:07:27. > :07:30.a long-term view, however. Dr Slayed, a lecturer at Imperial
:07:31. > :07:37.College London explains. One of the arguments is that a tree
:07:38. > :07:40.takes 20 to 100 years to grow, 20 seconds to burn, there could be a
:07:41. > :07:44.car Bonn saving but you don't get it now but in the future.
:07:45. > :07:47.By then, scientists believe it will be too late to reverse climate
:07:48. > :07:52.change. That's what is at stake here.
:07:53. > :07:57.Finding enough energy to power our communities, versus doing as little
:07:58. > :08:02.damage to the planet as possible. Well, as as far as the -- far as the
:08:03. > :08:06.near future is concerned, Greg Clarke is in charge for energy,
:08:07. > :08:13.business and industrial strategy in one.
:08:14. > :08:16.As we said, in your book you predicted the Leave campaign
:08:17. > :08:20.winning, and Government not having a plan for Brexit, the pound falling,
:08:21. > :08:25.did you personally think that would happen when you wrote it? Not when I
:08:26. > :08:30.wrote it but during the course of the referendum campaign, I thought
:08:31. > :08:35.we would go for Brexit. Unlike many of my colleagues I have been out of
:08:36. > :08:38.the centre of London, filming in Scotland, the mid--lands and the
:08:39. > :08:41.West Country, everyone I have met said that this was what they
:08:42. > :08:45.thought. That they were for out. That they were going out. I thought
:08:46. > :08:50.there is something really big happening in the country. I expected
:08:51. > :08:55.us to go that way. In terms of what happened after, no-one could have
:08:56. > :08:59.predicted that. I asked David Cameron on camera and privately
:09:00. > :09:03.again and again would he go if we voted Leave, he said absolutely not.
:09:04. > :09:07.That he would stay. This enhen went. After that, it seemed a lot of
:09:08. > :09:10.people, the Victor would be Boris Johnson. He was knifed by Michael
:09:11. > :09:15.Gove, who became the obvious person to succeed. It turned out that the
:09:16. > :09:19.knifing was so brutal he went as well. I don't think that anyone
:09:20. > :09:24.expected Andrea Leadsom to come forward, then when she did, for her
:09:25. > :09:29.to fall so spectacularly in that race. So one surprise after another.
:09:30. > :09:36.Still worth turning on the television to watch politics! The
:09:37. > :09:40.drama that we are witnessing, how does it compare to your book? The
:09:41. > :09:44.first book is about a British Government and a referendum campaign
:09:45. > :09:48.and we vote to leave the EU. The second novel is set further into the
:09:49. > :09:52.future. There is a Labour Government with a left-wing Labour leader in
:09:53. > :09:57.Number Ten, not regarded as doing a very good job. A lot of people, Tony
:09:58. > :10:01.Blair, and people like him think we know how to run the country, where
:10:02. > :10:04.the lever levers are, where the buttons are but no-one will ever
:10:05. > :10:09.listen to us again because of the Iraq war. What can we do, we are
:10:10. > :10:16.stuffed? So they decide what to do is to create new leaders to take
:10:17. > :10:20.over in their mould if you like genetically modified MPs! They try
:10:21. > :10:28.to persuade people to stand, once they become the MPs, they help them
:10:29. > :10:32.through the situation, how to get on the right select committee, how to
:10:33. > :10:38.deal with the Prime Minister's Questions. And they give a lesson in
:10:39. > :10:45.how to do politics. So the book is a lesson in how to do politics. So two
:10:46. > :10:51.of the MPs have to fight each other to replace the Labour leader. One is
:10:52. > :10:56.a Scottish working-class MP, not many of them left, and another is a
:10:57. > :10:59.gay woman from the south. It is a primary on dirty tricks and
:11:00. > :11:05.politics. As well as fiction we know you write
:11:06. > :11:09.about history. I do.
:11:10. > :11:14.How would you write David Cameron's legacy. In terms of David Cameron,
:11:15. > :11:18.he was a great election winner. He didn't make it the first time around
:11:19. > :11:22.and then surprised everybody by creating a coalition. He gave us a
:11:23. > :11:28.coalition politics, that we have never had. So that was radical. The
:11:29. > :11:33.second election victory in 2015, no-one expected him to win like he
:11:34. > :11:37.did. I don't think he did. He fought a tough campaign. The Liberal
:11:38. > :11:42.Democrats had come in, on the sofa snugly together, and David Cameron
:11:43. > :11:48.destroyed them at the election, that was brutal. Then he won that. He was
:11:49. > :11:53.an election winner, he played down the deficit. More people are in
:11:54. > :11:56.employment as a result of that. And also a period where the British
:11:57. > :12:01.economy is stronger than when they took over. That is solid. But I
:12:02. > :12:05.think he will be remembered as the pro-European Prime Minister who made
:12:06. > :12:13.a catastrophic misjudgment, gambled and lost and got out out of Europe.
:12:14. > :12:18.Is there a chapter title? I want to call it: Enough of Experts. Michael
:12:19. > :12:22.Gove said that he thought that the British people had had enough of
:12:23. > :12:26.experts. What followed on, why did so many people, when told by the
:12:27. > :12:31.Bank of England, the Treasury, every senior politicians in the country,
:12:32. > :12:37.they said not to do this thing, you will get poorer, don't vote to leave
:12:38. > :12:46.the EU but 17 million people said well, we are going to do it anyway.
:12:47. > :12:49.Why did they do it? Because of the 2008 financial crash and the
:12:50. > :12:56.destruction of the credibility of the bankers and all of those people
:12:57. > :13:00.and then the MPs' expenses scandal, the Iraq war, the Chilcot inquiry,
:13:01. > :13:05.by the stage of the Brexit referendum many people did not trust
:13:06. > :13:08.anyone in authority anywhere. Well, Andrew's book, 'Children of
:13:09. > :13:13.the Master' is out in paper become now.
:13:14. > :13:18.The next film is about another write, 10-year-old Jonathan, who has
:13:19. > :13:22.become a talented poet. His words, all the more powerful
:13:23. > :13:26.when you know that the doctors said he would never be able to
:13:27. > :13:29.communicate. Here is the moving story of how Jonathan proved them
:13:30. > :13:47.wrong. ... My...
:13:48. > :13:57.My name is Jonathan... I was in a car accident when I was 36 weeks
:13:58. > :14:02.pregnant. As a result, Jonathan got cerebral palsy. The consultants told
:14:03. > :14:07.us he might not be able to walk, talk, he might not be able to feed
:14:08. > :14:12.himself. Yet, when I looked at him in the cot, there was something
:14:13. > :14:15.about him that made me think "yep, he is in there, he is just not able
:14:16. > :14:38.to communicate to come out." We developed ways for him to
:14:39. > :14:43.communicate with us. A smile for "yes" a frown for "no". We realised
:14:44. > :14:48.that his eyes were the one thing that he had control over. Jonathan
:14:49. > :14:52.went to a special school aged four. There was a lot of activity and
:14:53. > :14:57.sensory play. A little bit of letters but not much. When he was in
:14:58. > :15:04.year three I decided to take him out of school for an hour a day and do
:15:05. > :15:10.basic literaciy. He was choosing words to write a story. But not an
:15:11. > :15:18.option to use a spelling board. When he kept looking at it, I realised he
:15:19. > :15:23.was unlocked. As a mother, I could ask him to talk with the spelling
:15:24. > :15:27.board. That was amazing. He looks at a square for a letter and then a
:15:28. > :16:02.colour to say which letter he wants to select.
:16:03. > :16:09.I carry on teaching him in the mornings. We do English and maths in
:16:10. > :16:14.the morning at home. Mostly because it takes in such a long time to
:16:15. > :16:20.write. And then in the afternoon, he goes and joins his peers at the
:16:21. > :16:23.school. Jonathan is life limited. We don't know how long we have got with
:16:24. > :16:41.him and so we live every day as a gift. I get my inspiration from...
:16:42. > :16:48.When Jonathan started communicating with us, he told us about a time
:16:49. > :16:54.when he had been very ill and he had in his words, been to Jesus' garden.
:16:55. > :16:59.He described something that is very like a we would understand heaven.
:17:00. > :17:02.His body worked, he was climbing trees. It fills Jonathan with joy to
:17:03. > :17:09.remember it and also with excitement to think about going back. Oh, that
:17:10. > :17:13.was a grumpy face! You usually like to talk about it. Is it because I'm
:17:14. > :17:35.talking about it? What do you want to say about it?
:17:36. > :17:41.Welcomer we have put some of Jonathan's poems up on the website
:17:42. > :17:45.if you would like to read some of them -- well, we've. And Jonathan 's
:17:46. > :17:48.campaign for nonverbal children to have an equal opportunity for
:17:49. > :17:53.education. He's got a petition which has currently been signed by over
:17:54. > :17:56.140,000 people. You did not get a sense of how long it took him to
:17:57. > :18:01.write one of those problems, the effort involved because they had to
:18:02. > :18:04.rush through it but he entered the 500 words, edition for Radio 2 and
:18:05. > :18:11.it took him 30 hours to write his short story. -- competition. Now the
:18:12. > :18:15.BBC Proms start tomorrow and hopefully it goes better than a
:18:16. > :18:22.notorious night in 1974 when the old saying, the show must go on, was
:18:23. > :18:28.pushed to the absolute limit. The Proms, world-class classical
:18:29. > :18:31.music. There would be no hope and glory without the legend Deri
:18:32. > :18:39.promenadings giving their ecstatic applause. -- in 1972, whereas is
:18:40. > :18:41.asked to do a bit more. This is the incredible story of how one man said
:18:42. > :18:51.the problems on a night when disaster struck. On the 7th of
:18:52. > :18:54.August that year, regular prommer Patrick McCarthy was getting ready
:18:55. > :18:58.for a night at the Royal Albert Hall. I was 27 and I've been a
:18:59. > :19:01.professional singer for about a fortnight. I'd been studying at the
:19:02. > :19:06.London presenter and I thought I would come and hear Carmina Burana
:19:07. > :19:11.sung by Jean Armstrong and Tommaso Allan and conducted by Andrew
:19:12. > :19:15.Previn. You are playing all the wrong notes! That evening, BBC
:19:16. > :19:18.cameras were there to film the performance by this stellar line-up.
:19:19. > :19:23.What could possibly go wrong? Well, that night, something dead. During a
:19:24. > :19:30.sweltering heatwave, they came on stage and Tommaso Allan began to
:19:31. > :19:32.perform. When he got up to sing the first aria, the pitch started to go
:19:33. > :19:47.down which was the unlike him. Suddenly come he fell back into his
:19:48. > :19:52.chair. Mid song? Yes, and his face was absolutely great. Goodness knows
:19:53. > :20:00.what was wrong, but he valiantly kept going for about a page or so.
:20:01. > :20:09.Then he just suddenly fell backwards, like closing the door.
:20:10. > :20:17.Straight down a flat onto the stage. The St John's ambulance men came up
:20:18. > :20:23.and they grabbed an arm and a leg each and they carted him. Do they
:20:24. > :20:26.sometimes have understudies? There was no understudy. With no one to
:20:27. > :20:31.fill his shoes, it looked as though the opening aria would be the final
:20:32. > :20:35.movement. That is until newly trained Patrick raised his head
:20:36. > :20:39.above the parapet. People nudging me were saying, you know this, you have
:20:40. > :20:45.done it, why don't you go and see if they got a substitute? I went
:20:46. > :20:49.backstage and they said, "You know it? Quickly put on the dinner jacket
:20:50. > :20:53.and go out and sing it". Andrew Previn had no idea who I was but he
:20:54. > :20:59.saw I was holding the score and he assumed I would be able to carry on
:21:00. > :21:02.singing and that is what I did. -- Andrei Previn. I had sung the thing
:21:03. > :21:06.before and I would not have volunteered if I hadn't. Inwardly, I
:21:07. > :21:18.was calm and confident. Can you still do it, give me a burst?
:21:19. > :21:20.Patrick can indeed sing, and back in 1974, there was nobody more relieved
:21:21. > :21:27.about this than our sopranos, Sheila. On this spot, where I am
:21:28. > :21:33.now, Sheila Armstrong. That's right. I have a surprise for you, if you
:21:34. > :21:38.turn around, CU is going towards us. Good heavens! You have not seen her
:21:39. > :21:42.since that night 42 years ago. When you heard him, what did he sound
:21:43. > :21:47.like? Were you immediately reassured? Of course because he
:21:48. > :21:52.clearly knew the peace. All the top notes were there, no problem. It was
:21:53. > :21:56.wonderful. And someone else appreciated Patrick's voice
:21:57. > :22:00.broadcast live on Radio 3. My mother was listening down in Brighton and
:22:01. > :22:06.she recognise my voice. She called out to my dad," Brian, it's
:22:07. > :22:11.Patrick!" And of course, she was right. When you got to the end, was
:22:12. > :22:17.there an ovation? Yes, there was, all of the audience went wild at the
:22:18. > :22:22.end. Patrick was hailed as a hero of the Proms. More importantly, it gave
:22:23. > :22:25.a big boost to his career as a professional singer. Sheila
:22:26. > :22:27.Armstrong continued to sing professionally to and thankfully,
:22:28. > :22:35.without anyone else passing out on her. And Thomas Allen did not do too
:22:36. > :22:42.badly, he made a full recovery and today he is Sir Thomas Allen. I,
:22:43. > :22:48.however, remain an undiscovered talent!
:22:49. > :22:57.Let's applaud Patrick one more time because wasn't he something else?
:22:58. > :23:01.Amazing. Brenda Emmanus is with us with more musicians who have saved
:23:02. > :23:06.the day. We are moving to rock and roll. Everything happened in rock
:23:07. > :23:13.and roll and a case in point is in the 1970s, 1973 in fact, The Who
:23:14. > :23:18.were promoting their uadrophenia album in the States. It went well
:23:19. > :23:22.for about an hour -- Quadrophenia. Keith Moon was a paper now and then
:23:23. > :23:28.he collapsed and they had to take him off and they carried on for a
:23:29. > :23:33.while without a drama. Then Pete Townshend shouts out, "Is anyone
:23:34. > :23:36.really good drama?" A 19 you Rod Gould Scot Halpin had boarded to get
:23:37. > :23:40.for the concert that morning, and his best friend said, "He's great".
:23:41. > :23:48.He got on stage and performed with his idols. This is the footage of
:23:49. > :23:55.him smashing the symbols. Here's like Animal! Relishing it, as you
:23:56. > :23:58.would do up on stage with The Who. That's a moment he would never
:23:59. > :24:02.forget. Sometimes even know what was my biggest voices need a helping
:24:03. > :24:05.hand. There was a time when the Queen of Soul became the Queen of
:24:06. > :24:08.Opera. Pavarotti was the star attraction at the Grammys in 1988
:24:09. > :24:12.but before he was about to go on stage, his doctor said he was too
:24:13. > :24:17.ill to do it. Aretha Franklin happen to be on the same set and decided to
:24:18. > :24:21.stand in for her mate. She gets up there, 20 minutes to prepare,
:24:22. > :24:31.Staying presenter on state and she gives the most beautiful rendition
:24:32. > :24:35.of Nessun Dorma in Italian. We've got to see this.
:24:36. > :24:53.A bit of Anna Riether riff in the middle, there. -- and Aretha
:24:54. > :24:57.Franklin ref. We will be seeing you again because I'm away on Monday and
:24:58. > :25:03.you will be sitting here. I have more preparation, at least I know
:25:04. > :25:09.what's going to happen! Actually... Actually, I don't feel very well. It
:25:10. > :25:12.has been pretty much a wash-out summer so far with the UK having a
:25:13. > :25:17.year's worth of wonder storms already. There's at least one person
:25:18. > :25:23.who's loving the weather, Marty likes lightning so much that he even
:25:24. > :25:29.makes it indoors. Lightning, it is one of nature's
:25:30. > :25:33.most impressive and dramatic shows, of sheer, awe-inspiring power. It
:25:34. > :25:37.strikes the Earth's surface an average of 44 times every second.
:25:38. > :25:42.But it is the intricate zigzag shaped that lightning makes and
:25:43. > :25:52.leaves behind on anything it strikes that I want to recreate today. These
:25:53. > :25:59.complex, fern-like shapes are named after an 18th-century scientist, who
:26:00. > :26:02.first recorded them. I have always been fascinated by their beauty and
:26:03. > :26:08.I want to understand exactly how they are formed and see if I can
:26:09. > :26:14.create one of my own patterns. But first, I need some lightning. OK, so
:26:15. > :26:22.it may not look much like a storm cloud but this device, all the tesla
:26:23. > :26:26.coil, works a bit like one and allows me to body is my own
:26:27. > :26:30.lightning. It creates a high-voltage charge that sparks into the air. By
:26:31. > :26:33.slowing it down, we can see how the electrical charge tries to find a
:26:34. > :26:38.route to the Earth. You can see the beginnings of the patterns. In
:26:39. > :26:42.thunderstorms, this electrical charge builds and builds within the
:26:43. > :26:48.clouds and becomes so great that it has to do escape. Suddenly, hundreds
:26:49. > :26:54.of tendrils of white, just like the ones we saw from the tesla coil,
:26:55. > :26:59.begin snaking their way down to the Earth. The electric charge bands
:27:00. > :27:03.out, taking the form of Lichtenberg patterns, as it seeks every route
:27:04. > :27:07.possible to reach solid ground and discharge. This all happens in just
:27:08. > :27:13.under an millisecond. No sooner than that, and they are gone again, as
:27:14. > :27:17.contact is made. It is over in a flash but it doesn't end there. As
:27:18. > :27:22.it strikes, the electrical charge continues to fan out, burning the
:27:23. > :27:29.Lichtenberg pattern into whatever is in its path, even people. It may
:27:30. > :27:34.look like a tad too but this is the scar left behind on a man struck by
:27:35. > :27:37.lightning. -- like a tattoo. So let's see if I can recreate this
:27:38. > :27:44.effect with some wood, some screws, and this transformer, which is going
:27:45. > :27:51.to take mains voltage and transform it up to 20,000 volts. I need as
:27:52. > :27:56.much voltage is possible. Time to connect it up. With this setup, what
:27:57. > :28:01.I've done is recreated the conditions to create lightning but
:28:02. > :28:04.rather than it being through the atmosphere, it is going to be
:28:05. > :28:14.through this piece of wood. I'm going to retreat to a safe distance.
:28:15. > :28:17.Time to turn the power on. The current flows from the transformer,
:28:18. > :28:23.through the cables and directly into the wood. Oh, it has started! Like
:28:24. > :28:27.lightning in a thunderstorm, you can see the tendrils of electrical
:28:28. > :28:30.charge weaving through the wood. You can see the Lichtenberg figures
:28:31. > :28:41.crawling across the wood. Success! We have managed to
:28:42. > :28:48.reproduce these intricate patterns with only a piece of wood, some
:28:49. > :28:54.screws and 20,000 volts. Beautiful, exquisite, and simply stunning.
:28:55. > :28:59.Lichtenberg's figures really are a true wonder of nature. Amazing but
:29:00. > :29:04.please don't try to make your own lightning at home, including you!
:29:05. > :29:09.The voice of authority has spoken. Not even in the garage. Later this
:29:10. > :29:12.year, we're teaming up with BBC Weather Watchers to tell the story
:29:13. > :29:17.of the summer's weather in photographs and we need your help.
:29:18. > :29:20.Make sure you take a photo of the wonderful weather you are
:29:21. > :29:25.experiencing and send it in to this address. A big thank you to Brenda
:29:26. > :29:29.and Andrew. Andrew's book, Children Of The Master is out now. I will be
:29:30. > :29:31.back tomorrow with Jamie Oliver and Brian Adam is. See you then.
:29:32. > :29:33.Goodbye.
