:00:22. > :00:26.Hello and welcome to The One Show with Matt Baker. And Alex Jones.
:00:26. > :00:34.Tonight's guest started his career on the cobbles of Weatherfield and
:00:34. > :00:39.went on to work with Clint Eastwood. It is, of course, Warren Clarke.
:00:39. > :00:44.APPLAUSE AND CHEERING. Enough! Aren't they lovely. Be honest, what
:00:44. > :00:49.did you prefer working with Clint or Corrie? Corrie. Yeah. Definitely.
:00:49. > :00:53.You played so many different characters. There's one of them. I
:00:53. > :01:01.was in it three times with three characters. Ridiculous really. I
:01:01. > :01:08.was a boyfriend of Lucie in one show. I was a student in Manchester
:01:08. > :01:15.Rag Week or whatever it was, who kidnapped Annie Walker. And then I
:01:15. > :01:24.ended up as Elsie's nephew. Would you go back if they asked? No.
:01:24. > :01:29.have a picture of you with Clint as Good lad. Was he all right?
:01:29. > :01:36.Fantastic. Nice man. Did he direct you as well? Yeah. In fact, I
:01:36. > :01:39.directed that scene, that shot there. We were rehearsing it and he
:01:39. > :01:46.said, I don't know about this, it's not working for me, is it working
:01:46. > :01:51.for you? He doesn't raise his voice much more. I said, you what? I said
:01:51. > :01:56.no, it's going to be OK. I looked around and said look, the sun's
:01:56. > :02:00.just going down over there behind those mountains. Yeah. I said why
:02:01. > :02:06.don't we go the other side. And move the camera and the sun will be
:02:06. > :02:13.in the middle of the shot doing the scene. He went, yeah. OK. Let's set
:02:13. > :02:17.it up the way the limey wants to do it. Then he said you should direct,
:02:17. > :02:22.I went thank you, I will. We are going to be talking about this new
:02:22. > :02:25.sitcom you are in. I didn't direct that. We will find out in a minute.
:02:25. > :02:29.The experiences of often young British soldiers in Afghanistan
:02:30. > :02:33.have been vividly brought to life in the BBC series Our War, we
:02:33. > :02:37.featured last week here. Tonight in a second of her films on difficult
:02:37. > :02:42.choices people have faced Wendy Robins talks to a soldier who just
:02:42. > :02:45.wanted out. My name's Joe Glenton and I am the
:02:45. > :02:48.soldier who refused to return to Afghanistan. As a soldier speaking
:02:48. > :02:51.out against the war in Afghanistan it's the hardest decision I have
:02:51. > :02:54.ever made. Joe had been in the Army for nearly
:02:54. > :03:00.two years before he was sent to Afghanistan with the Royal
:03:00. > :03:02.logistics corps, his time in 2006 there had a profound effect on him.
:03:02. > :03:06.What were your worst experiences out there, what do you remember
:03:06. > :03:10.most? The worst moments for me in Afghanistan were probably the
:03:10. > :03:17.mortar coming in and injuring the civilians, it's a strong image for
:03:17. > :03:21.me. Them lying there in the dust. As a soldier, you must have known
:03:21. > :03:25.that's what happens in wars, civilians die? Of course, yeah,
:03:25. > :03:31.that's what war does, it destroys things and kills people. Why did
:03:31. > :03:34.you start to feel that you shouldn't be out there? I think it
:03:34. > :03:37.probably started with looking at the attitudes of the various
:03:37. > :03:41.nations out there. Obviously it was multinational and seeing how the
:03:41. > :03:44.lead nation, being the Americans kind of treated the locals and
:03:45. > :03:49.stuff like that, the amount of mistreatment and stuff really
:03:49. > :03:53.started to affect me and hearing about bombings of civilians and
:03:53. > :03:57.stuff like that was a concern and I started to think well, why are we
:03:57. > :04:01.here? Back home, Joe says he told his bosses he was having nightmares
:04:01. > :04:05.and not coping well. Yet they insisted he had to go back to
:04:05. > :04:09.Afghanistan for a second tour of duty. Take me through the moment
:04:09. > :04:16.you were supposed to report to the barracks to go back to Afghanistan.
:04:16. > :04:21.I still felt a big obligation to the Army but I tried to pursue it
:04:21. > :04:30.through their channels and being ignored and felt I had no choice, I
:04:30. > :04:32.felt my hand was forced. I wasn't sleeping, and in a bad way
:04:32. > :04:36.psychiatrically and made that choice, booked a flight and had to
:04:36. > :04:44.find some space. Joe bought a one- way ticket to Australia, where he
:04:44. > :04:48.met Clare, now his wife. Obviously, being AWOL is serious but I didn't
:04:48. > :04:53.how serious at the time. I was scared as much for the consequences
:04:53. > :04:59.as for my own mental state. journey back from Australia back to
:04:59. > :05:04.Manchester was very tense for both of us. We really knew we were
:05:04. > :05:08.coming back to an open can of worms and what was going to happen, we
:05:08. > :05:13.didn't know. Joe was a wanted man. He was arrested by the Army soon
:05:13. > :05:16.after arriving back in the UK, but continued to protest against the
:05:16. > :05:20.war. Why do you think it was important to hear a soldier speak
:05:21. > :05:25.out? It's a fairly rare event because the Army has that culture
:05:25. > :05:27.of obedience and quietness and keeping it in house, I didn't think
:05:27. > :05:31.it should be the case. I think people should hear what soldiers
:05:31. > :05:36.have to say. I can't say I represent every soldier out there
:05:36. > :05:42.but I don't think we should be there, it's the bottom line. Lives
:05:42. > :05:48.are being wasted. Joe was sentenced to nine months in a military
:05:48. > :05:52.correctional centre for being absent without leave. When Joe was
:05:52. > :05:58.in jail he received thousands of letters of support and he has kept
:05:58. > :06:03.them all. The only serving soldier who so far has had the courage to
:06:03. > :06:06.stand up for what you and so many in the Army know to be the truth.
:06:06. > :06:10.Thank you for having the courage to speak out. Joe is now studying for
:06:10. > :06:14.a degree and and settling into civilian life in York, but I
:06:14. > :06:18.wondered how local people feel about what he did. You joined up,
:06:18. > :06:24.you took the money and you should have finished your contract really
:06:24. > :06:29.and done what you should have done and done it properly. And not just
:06:29. > :06:33.absconded like you did, that's not the way to go about things, I feel.
:06:33. > :06:40.Even though I raised objections at the time. You joined up. I used to
:06:40. > :06:46.work for the armed forces, I used to meet people who didn't want to
:06:46. > :06:52.do things. You said said before you are not a pacifist. I am not. I do
:06:52. > :06:55.think there is a legitimate use for conflict, violence even, so defend
:06:55. > :07:01.yourself or someone else, life or liberty. If everyone acted like you
:07:01. > :07:05.did there would be no such thing as an Army, it's not an a la carte
:07:05. > :07:08.menu that you can pick and choose. You sign up also to doing what the
:07:09. > :07:15.politicians tell you to do, to defend your country. There is that
:07:15. > :07:22.argument, I think it was in the transcripts from the neuroemburg
:07:22. > :07:27.trial, no sealedier can hide behind the mythical obedience. You have a
:07:27. > :07:30.choice, you are still a human being. Some people, included military
:07:30. > :07:36.personnel, may well be angered by Joe's choice, what are your
:07:36. > :07:42.thoughts on that? It's a difficult subject. I just think why did he
:07:42. > :07:47.join? We don't have call-up any more, don't have national service.
:07:47. > :07:51.Why did he join the Army? The lady there spoke frankly and said if you
:07:51. > :07:58.do sign up then you can't choose which tours of duty you take part
:07:58. > :08:02.in. I don't agree with the Afghanistan thing anyway, why our
:08:02. > :08:05.boys and girls are out there, I find ridiculous. But I am not a
:08:05. > :08:09.politician, I am not running the country or the world. When they
:08:09. > :08:12.talk about defending our country, you go, hang on, they're not here,
:08:12. > :08:16.they're in Afghanistan. What are we kefding -- defending our country
:08:16. > :08:20.over there for? We have been there over hundreds of years about three
:08:20. > :08:25.times and never won anything. Surely we could have learned by
:08:25. > :08:30.that. But back to the lad, I mean, he joined up. You join the club,
:08:31. > :08:34.that's what you do. I am not sure... That series of Our War, you see the
:08:34. > :08:37.bravery of the youngsters out there. They are incredibly brave, of
:08:37. > :08:42.course they are, and it's understandable when people go I
:08:42. > :08:45.can't stand it. Dodgy. Moving on to something different now. Peak
:08:45. > :08:49.holiday season is around the corner and the numbers of us travelling
:08:49. > :08:53.abroad is on the up, a staggering 13.5 million of us travelled
:08:53. > :08:57.overseas in the last three months. With family finances being
:08:57. > :09:01.stretched Anita wants to make sure we are all getting the most of our
:09:01. > :09:04.money. A rare foreign assignment for The
:09:04. > :09:08.One Show, I am off to France, no not on a booze cruise, there's a
:09:08. > :09:14.very good reason, I will be showing you how to make your holiday money
:09:14. > :09:20.go further by avoiding those annoying hidden charges.
:09:20. > :09:24.We do get het up about them. It's ridiculous really to be honest. You
:09:24. > :09:28.know, you are using it same as back at home in a machine. We expect to
:09:28. > :09:33.be charged, we take a lot of cash with us. Why do you expect to be
:09:33. > :09:37.charged? That's the service we have from our bank. I have come up with
:09:37. > :09:45.my five rules that will get you and your bank balance through your
:09:45. > :09:49.holiday without it costing the OK, before you even leave the UK
:09:49. > :09:53.you need to be careful not to get caught out. When buying foreign
:09:53. > :09:56.currency on home soil avoid using plastic.
:09:56. > :10:00.Because you will be charged extra for using a credit card and
:10:00. > :10:06.sometimes even a debit card. You are betting off using cash and
:10:06. > :10:10.buying currency direct from a bureau decharge, no charges and if
:10:10. > :10:15.you shop around no commission either.
:10:15. > :10:18.When you arrive abroad plastic does come in handy, you don't want to
:10:18. > :10:22.carry huge amounts of cash so you will need more money at some point
:10:22. > :10:29.but using the wrong card can land you with a whole load of extra
:10:29. > :10:33.charges. So you have run out of cash. Which
:10:33. > :10:39.bit of plastic do you stick in the ATM? Definitely not the credit card.
:10:39. > :10:42.It's by far the priciest way to withdraw cash. The debit card is a
:10:42. > :10:47.better deal but nearly all banks will charge you for using this as
:10:47. > :10:51.well with at least two sometimes three extra fees.
:10:51. > :10:57.There's the cash withdrawal fee, and the currency conversion fee.
:10:57. > :11:02.Then the local bank will often whack on their own fee, too. For
:11:02. > :11:05.taking �500 out, you could be paying as much as �23 extra.
:11:05. > :11:09.If you are anything like me, you will waste no time in hitting the
:11:09. > :11:17.shops and the restaurants and for those big ticket items you will be
:11:17. > :11:21.reaching for the plastic again. Now, the ATM I used my debit card.
:11:21. > :11:24.Here, I will be better off using my credit card as long as I pay it off
:11:24. > :11:29.before the interest kicks in. Debit cards can be bad news because banks
:11:30. > :11:39.will often charge a transaction fee and a currency conversion fee and
:11:40. > :11:40.
:11:40. > :11:44.that's enough to put you off your lunch. Wow!
:11:44. > :11:48.Remember, which ever card you use if they they offer to let you pay
:11:48. > :11:52.in pounds just say no. It means the retailer does the
:11:52. > :12:01.conversion as a so-called dynamic currency exchange. Usually to its
:12:01. > :12:06.own advantage. But alas it's time for me to leave
:12:06. > :12:10.Calais. It's been a whirlwind of a day but there's one rule left that
:12:10. > :12:12.should help you sail through your trip, always tell your bank you are
:12:12. > :12:21.going abroad or else they could block your cards and then you would
:12:21. > :12:27.have no cards to choose from. Well, that's all my tips, so, Bonn
:12:27. > :12:32.chance with putting them to use. Bonjour, welcome home. She's skint
:12:32. > :12:41.after that film. How much did you spend? I won't tell you. Lunch was
:12:41. > :12:45.lovely. Whose money was it? My own! You said call the banks and you did.
:12:45. > :12:50.We got an experiment, we got people from the office including myself to
:12:50. > :12:54.phone banks to see if we could get a straight answer as to how much it
:12:54. > :12:59.would cost to spend on debit and credit cards, and we couldn't. But
:12:59. > :13:03.it varies, there are many variables. Cast your mind back everybody, do
:13:03. > :13:07.you remember the days of travellers cheques? What happened to them?
:13:08. > :13:10.They still exist, we are used to using plastic now an we don't
:13:10. > :13:14.bother with travellers cheques. They were there to save us having
:13:14. > :13:17.to take cash on holiday with us, but if you do take them you still
:13:17. > :13:23.have to go and find somewhere that will change them. They will still
:13:24. > :13:29.charge for changing them and also they were there for security but
:13:29. > :13:34.it's easier to use plastic now. are wary of using your plastic card
:13:34. > :13:42.abroad? Yeah, plastic is so convenient, as you said, but I did
:13:42. > :13:47.get caught last year. Twice actually, when the card is cloned.
:13:47. > :13:53.Did -- can you say how much you got done for? Somewhere up towards
:13:53. > :14:00.�20,000. Ouch! The bank called me about a certain situation that was
:14:01. > :14:05.going on, that situation, and they said were you in Africa recently? I
:14:05. > :14:10.said I was there about a month ago. I was there for a week and I went
:14:10. > :14:15.to the Caribbean and they went yes, we can see you were in the
:14:15. > :14:24.Caribbean. What's the problem, so they said we notice that you were
:14:24. > :14:28.in Cheshire last week and then on the Friday, and on the Saturday you
:14:28. > :14:37.were in Johannesburg, on the Sunday you were in Manchester. I went yeah,
:14:37. > :14:41.right, how did I do that! Such a jet-setter. They said we have a few
:14:41. > :14:47.issues, and eventually I got this list of these transactions that
:14:47. > :14:54.were taking place all around South Africa and I had only used the card
:14:54. > :15:00.once in Johan he is Johan -- Johannesburg airport to buy some
:15:00. > :15:10.gifts and somebody cloned the card. You have got to be so careful.
:15:10. > :15:11.
:15:11. > :15:15.I have some money-saving tips. Number one, apparently �800 million
:15:15. > :15:21.worth of foreign currency comes back into the UK by British
:15:21. > :15:26.tourists, and only 50% take it back on holiday. If you have dollars,
:15:26. > :15:30.Euros, rupees, yen, whatever it might be, next time you go to those
:15:30. > :15:36.countries, take the cash you have lying at home with you.
:15:36. > :15:42.This one, mobile phone charges, I had an absolutely shopping bill,
:15:42. > :15:47.more than 500, less than �1,000. I almost cried. Phone your network
:15:47. > :15:52.provider, some have bundles where you will get free texts, calls and
:15:52. > :15:55.discounted calls. I buy a phone when I am out there and I get a
:15:55. > :15:58.local Sim card. If you are not going abroad this
:15:58. > :16:03.summer there is a home-grown tourist attraction in Liverpool
:16:03. > :16:06.that is blooming well worth visiting. We have weeded out Joe
:16:06. > :16:12.Crowley to find out why an unsightly back alley has come up
:16:12. > :16:20.smelling of roses. This may look like any other Ali
:16:20. > :16:23.around here, but it is an oasis of green. Blooming marvellous! In 2007,
:16:23. > :16:28.Irene Humphreys and Audrey Roberts started turning back alley way into
:16:28. > :16:33.a stunning garden. This is incredible, where did it begin?
:16:33. > :16:39.said, look what I have in the back. I said, it is a bath, what is that
:16:39. > :16:47.for? She said, I'm going to plant flowers. I said, you can't have one
:16:47. > :16:53.without me! And before you knew it you have walled gardens. These are
:16:53. > :17:01.tomatoes, last year our core shirts were about two feet long. That bath
:17:01. > :17:04.tub is one big bouquet. Isn't that fantastic. I completely missed the
:17:04. > :17:10.sister and just above that! What would be alleyway have looked like
:17:10. > :17:15.before? It was a disgrace. A dumping ground. Instead of putting
:17:15. > :17:19.your rubbish out for the bin men, it went in the back alley, so we
:17:19. > :17:26.decided to get rid of it all and start this a races. This is our
:17:26. > :17:31.garden, we don't have gardens here. The children can come here, it is
:17:31. > :17:35.safe for them, they come on their little scooters and bikes. One man
:17:35. > :17:40.who understands how special displays his is the firemen -- the
:17:40. > :17:46.chairman of North West in bloom. They won the best alley way
:17:46. > :17:49.competition for two in three years. They have won the Royal
:17:50. > :17:55.Horticultural Society certificate for five years. They have won as so
:17:55. > :18:03.many trophies in Liverpool, I have lost track. It is really good, it
:18:03. > :18:07.makes it nice and clean. I like the Rosas. I like the purple ones.
:18:07. > :18:12.all the neighbours are behind the project, that is why the garden
:18:12. > :18:20.stops at this point. The gardens used to come up further, but then
:18:20. > :18:23.people got fed up. It was the hint that people did not care and they
:18:23. > :18:28.were the only ones who care. they don't want to get involved we
:18:28. > :18:34.can't do anything, we just have to go with the flow, as they say.
:18:34. > :18:39.Keeping a garden like this going is not cheap, costing over �1,000 this
:18:39. > :18:44.year. Now the funding might dry up. The council has finished funding us.
:18:44. > :18:50.We are not getting funded at all. You can't do it on fresh-air, you
:18:50. > :18:56.need funding. I could not imagine it not being here. I don't even
:18:56. > :19:02.want to think about it. I might have to go out and get myself a
:19:02. > :19:08.fella to keep me company! For the good of him, I hope the garden
:19:08. > :19:14.stays! Very funny! We had you in mind!
:19:14. > :19:18.Joe Crowley has pulled! He got out of there alive! It seemed those
:19:18. > :19:23.ladies were in charge of the tool shed, who is in charge of the
:19:23. > :19:27.garden in at your place? My wife, it is hers. She does it all. She
:19:27. > :19:32.won't let me in the kitchen apart from when I am eating, and I can go
:19:33. > :19:37.in the garden to look but I have to get out. She says, look what I have
:19:37. > :19:41.done. It is fantastic, it is great what those ladies have done. Let's
:19:41. > :19:46.go want your sitcom, In With the Flynns. You play the grandfather,
:19:46. > :19:51.it is based around a working-class family in Manchester. Let's see you
:19:51. > :20:01.in action playing with your grandson. Are you ready? Here it
:20:01. > :20:02.
:20:02. > :20:09.comes! Are you OK? I'm rubbish. got something on it. My face.
:20:09. > :20:15.you worry, let me tell you a story. Not about birds! He played in goal
:20:15. > :20:25.for Manchester City in the 1956 FA Cup final with a broken neck.
:20:25. > :20:28.
:20:28. > :20:33.you think I have a broken neck?! Tier out of two! -- two out of two!
:20:34. > :20:40.Good shot. It is all done by cameras, nothing to do with my feet.
:20:40. > :20:45.It seems family-based sitcoms are all the rage. Yes. Something you
:20:45. > :20:51.were attracted to? I was sent the scripts and ideas for the story
:20:51. > :20:58.line and I thought I liked it, I liked the idea, the fun. OK, there
:20:58. > :21:03.are many, many other family show was. We got together as a unit,
:21:03. > :21:06.none of us... I had met Craig Parkinson once before and I knew
:21:06. > :21:10.Will Mellor but we did not really know each other, and the kids, we
:21:10. > :21:17.got together and got on like a family. It was really quite
:21:17. > :21:21.extraordinary, we really enjoyed it. We had the odd word against each
:21:21. > :21:28.other and... Shut it! Getting your box! But it worked and we really
:21:28. > :21:32.enjoyed ourselves. Pickets were fabulous and it was fun. The second
:21:32. > :21:37.episode is on tonight, but then after that you are going back to
:21:37. > :21:42.the stage for the first time in 30 years, starring as Churchill. What
:21:42. > :21:48.made you go back? It is the first time I was offered something I
:21:48. > :21:52.really, really liked, with the space and time to do it. 30 years
:21:52. > :21:57.ago television and films sort of took over and I was into that, I
:21:57. > :22:00.just carried on doing it. I had been offered theatre work, but
:22:00. > :22:04.nothing that really grabbed my attention apart from a couple of
:22:04. > :22:08.plays two or three years ago. But somehow they did not get a theatre
:22:08. > :22:13.so we did not happen, but this time we got some theatres and we will
:22:13. > :22:21.see what happens. Away from the stage we know you are a bit of a
:22:21. > :22:28.twitcher, you like bird-watching. Yes, OK?! We will talk about it
:22:28. > :22:33.during the film. Mike Dilger is flying like a bird.
:22:33. > :22:38.Birds can be considered Major's ultimate flying machine. In fact, a
:22:38. > :22:44.recent study found that relevant to its size, a humming birds flies
:22:44. > :22:51.faster than a jet fighter. -- a Hummingbird flies faster. I have
:22:51. > :22:54.this bad-boy today, and aerobatic biplane. I have come to
:22:54. > :22:58.Gloucestershire to find out why birds are so brilliant at flight
:22:58. > :23:04.and see what it takes to emulate them. First stop is my
:23:04. > :23:11.ornithological wing man. Birds are so incredibly well adapted for
:23:11. > :23:17.flying. This buzzard wing shows you the perfect format you would see in
:23:17. > :23:24.an aeroplane wing. As I move it horizontally, the wing wants to
:23:24. > :23:29.take off and lift. But it is not just the wing shape that allows
:23:29. > :23:35.such efficient flight. It only has 11 bones in its wing, compared with
:23:35. > :23:42.29 in our arms, and they are hollow. You have a very nice, strong but
:23:42. > :23:48.polite wing. When I think of Master of the air, it has to be the swift.
:23:48. > :23:54.This would have left its nest and not landed for two whole years.
:23:54. > :23:57.swift will feed, sleep and mate on the wing until that time when they
:23:57. > :24:03.nest. Birds all have one characteristic that will trump any
:24:03. > :24:07.aeroplane. It has a number of different wings on the plane, the
:24:07. > :24:10.tail and the flaps, a bird has all of these things combined. And like
:24:10. > :24:15.us they have nerves, they can respond very quickly with their
:24:15. > :24:20.eyes and their senses to make changes very, very quickly.
:24:20. > :24:24.experience exactly what these aerobatic exertions do to a bird's
:24:24. > :24:29.body, I will not just be sitting in any old plane. I will be strapped
:24:29. > :24:35.to the wing of a souped-up 1930s Boeing, which has been specially
:24:35. > :24:39.adapted for the only formation wing walking display team in the world.
:24:39. > :24:45.Showing me the ropes is Danielle Hughes, who has been a wing walker
:24:45. > :24:51.for the past four years. I will warn you that Basij rocks slightly,
:24:51. > :24:56.that is completely normal, so don't panic. -- the SITA rocks slightly.
:24:56. > :25:04.Wave as much as you like, have a good time. If I am really worried
:25:04. > :25:10.idea that? The yes, both arms out, thumbs down. Promise to wave at us.
:25:10. > :25:14.I am feeling confident as we take off. Flying in formation with the
:25:14. > :25:22.camera plane alongside, navigating in unison, much like a beautiful
:25:22. > :25:27.pair of swans. But the serenity is short-lived as my plane peels away.
:25:27. > :25:34.I am beginning my mam verses bird tests. The fastest bird on the
:25:34. > :25:39.planet, the peregrine falcon, can ensure G-force of 90, nine times
:25:39. > :25:45.its body weight, so we are going to pull a loop. As we accelerate out
:25:45. > :25:50.of the bottom we reach 4G, less than half of the peregrine falcon's,
:25:50. > :25:54.but it is enough to paralyse me to my seat. There is no time to pause
:25:54. > :25:59.as we are on the up to experience what the peregrine falcon does in
:25:59. > :26:05.hunting. It can reach speeds of up to 200 mph, which it achieves by
:26:05. > :26:12.typing its wings in. We only get to 160 mph with our fixed wings and it
:26:12. > :26:15.takes all my strength just to hold takes all my strength just to hold
:26:15. > :26:23.my arms out. Wave, Mike! Some species like ravens Paul of roles.
:26:23. > :26:28.Ravens can roll quickly, but it takes an agonising six seconds for
:26:28. > :26:35.us to level out. It is about displaying and showing off and I
:26:35. > :26:40.feel ready to pull some moves of my feel ready to pull some moves of my
:26:41. > :26:45.own. I even finish with a flourish. I have a wobbly as the legs, I have
:26:45. > :26:52.a new-found respect for the unbelievable ability of birds to
:26:52. > :26:58.fly -- my legs are so wobbly. They are the masters. What I do best is
:26:58. > :27:04.putting one foot in front of the other, albeit slightly unsteadily!
:27:04. > :27:09.We are going to try to strap him to a jet to next week!
:27:09. > :27:13.LAUGHTER. None of us would have an issue with recognising a flying
:27:13. > :27:16.Mike Dilger, but our Inbox is crammed full of wildlife that you
:27:16. > :27:18.at home have had trouble at home have had trouble
:27:18. > :27:24.recognising. Miranda is here to give us an idea.
:27:24. > :27:33.We have had great photos from One Show viewers. We had this picture
:27:33. > :27:38.from Angela and also Lesley, and this was an unidentified ladybird.
:27:38. > :27:44.This is one of the horrible Harlequin ladybirds, alien invasive
:27:44. > :27:49.species which are doing quite well. We have an unusual insect next,
:27:49. > :27:54.this was sent in from Chris and his family in Hemel Hempstead, it was
:27:54. > :28:01.in their hallway. This is a female ichneumon wasp. It looks quite
:28:01. > :28:03.nicely. She uses that to lay eggs in a caterpillars, they are used
:28:03. > :28:07.for natural control of agricultural pests.
:28:07. > :28:15.Next up we have a white bird, this is a partially albino house sparrow,
:28:15. > :28:17.it was sent in by Pam from North Devon. Albino is where there is a
:28:17. > :28:22.genetic mutation and the animal can't produce any colour in its
:28:22. > :28:29.body, it is very visible to predators. You are very lucky to
:28:29. > :28:34.spot these, they are very rare. We have got a beauty, this is a
:28:34. > :28:38.male mandarin duck. Sanjay from Camden spot of this on the towpath
:28:38. > :28:40.of Regent's Canal. Beautiful creatures, they were imported from
:28:40. > :28:45.creatures, they were imported from China. They have escaped from
:28:45. > :28:51.private collections. Thank you ever so much, Miranda.
