:00:34. > :00:38.She has brought one of these back to the beach in Devon to photograph

:00:38. > :00:48.it and I am going to give her a hand. Let's take them out of the

:00:48. > :00:52.horsebox! Don't let him run away with you! He is quite frisky!

:00:52. > :00:56.have brought it down here to be photographed. What is the best

:00:56. > :01:02.angle? I don't know that I want to be lying on the beach because it is

:01:02. > :01:09.cold. I am happy to get my feet wet. I will squat down and see if I can

:01:09. > :01:13.get something against the sky with some water in. Beautiful. I just

:01:13. > :01:19.love to bring them back to the sea because they make great shots.

:01:19. > :01:25.looks lovely. This shows amazing observation about how the horse

:01:25. > :01:30.moves. You say all the right things! But it does, so realistic.

:01:30. > :01:35.You have got that from your experience withdrawing. Yes. I just

:01:35. > :01:40.did nothing but horses in the field, drawing all the time. My heroes

:01:40. > :01:44.were people like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. I am seriously

:01:44. > :01:49.interested in drawing. Her love for drawing and figurative work led her

:01:49. > :01:53.to leave her fine art course in the 1960s. She says that at the time,

:01:53. > :01:57.her tutors were more interested in abstract and conceptual art, and

:01:57. > :02:03.drawing was out of fashion. They suggested that she was not the

:02:03. > :02:08.stuff proper artists were made of. Having found her own style, her

:02:08. > :02:16.sculptures are in demand in Britain and overseas. Their prices range

:02:16. > :02:20.from �250 for a drawing to tens of thousands for a big Sculpture.

:02:20. > :02:24.is quite large. How long does a piece like that take? It depends

:02:24. > :02:29.entirely on how much would I have got. I have four or five pieces on

:02:29. > :02:35.the go. If I get stuck on one, I move on to another one. You could

:02:36. > :02:40.be waiting for a back leg for months. Could do! How do you fix it

:02:40. > :02:45.together? I start by taking a decision about what it will be

:02:45. > :02:52.doing and I Weld a steel frame together. Then it is a question of

:02:52. > :02:55.tying bits of driftwood and till I know where they will be. Then I

:02:55. > :02:59.screw them in. It has been known for it to take three years but that

:02:59. > :03:06.is not common. She likes to showcase the finished works by

:03:06. > :03:11.photographing them back where they came from, the beach. Do you go out

:03:11. > :03:16.and find the driftwood yourself? used to. Not any longer. Not this

:03:16. > :03:20.size. I have people that can act for me. That is the wonderful thing

:03:20. > :03:25.about driftwood. Even when it is completely dead, it has the sense

:03:25. > :03:33.of being alive. That is why they are so fascinating to people.

:03:33. > :03:38.has a strength and movement all of its own. Every bit of what seems to

:03:38. > :03:43.be alive, flooring and furniture. And this is in its very natural

:03:43. > :03:51.state. It has just got something about it. It has. It has get-up-

:03:51. > :03:56.and-go. Really, you are taking nature's debris and recycling it.

:03:56. > :03:59.am. It is extraordinary. It must take a lot of patience.

:03:59. > :04:04.interesting thing about that is that if you are doing something

:04:04. > :04:10.that you love, you don't need patience. You liked the look of

:04:10. > :04:16.them, didn't you? Very talented. I am sitting here in shock. For me

:04:17. > :04:22.that is just amazing. Have you got room for one of them at 10?

:04:22. > :04:28.Talking about passion, you are very much your own boss. This album is

:04:28. > :04:34.outside of Simon Cowell's label. Yes. Simon Cowell and Psycho did so

:04:34. > :04:38.much for me. We did our first album together, Overcome, but now I have

:04:38. > :04:41.moved on. The year that I took out to do this album was an amazing

:04:41. > :04:46.year and a half because I am now the executive producer of the album

:04:46. > :04:51.so it is challenging to say the least. Did you want more control?

:04:51. > :04:55.Not really. To be fair, doing the first album, Simon gave me a lot of

:04:55. > :04:59.control but I had to make it in six or seven months. I was able to take

:04:59. > :05:03.my time with this one. With this album I really wanted to do

:05:03. > :05:08.something, give something I had never given before, faith in the

:05:08. > :05:11.fear of being more open. That is why it is called Heartbreak On Hold.

:05:11. > :05:16.And I am very nervous about it because I am so open in this album

:05:16. > :05:20.that it scares me a bit. It is about to be out there for the world

:05:20. > :05:24.to hear. The new single is called Let It Go. It is the most fun that

:05:24. > :05:33.we have seen anybody having on the London Underground. Let's have a

:05:33. > :05:40.look at the video. #, on, baby, bring back the love.

:05:40. > :05:50.# Let it go. # Let it go, let it all go.

:05:50. > :05:53.

:05:53. > :06:00.There we are! It has still got the dance five. Yes. Alfie has

:06:00. > :06:03.disappeared! It still has that dance element to it. Yes. I really

:06:03. > :06:08.wanted to achieve something with this album, and I am a happy person

:06:08. > :06:12.and I like to have fun, and I wanted my sons to be up-tempo and

:06:12. > :06:16.vibrant. I still wanted people to understand the deeper meaning

:06:16. > :06:20.behind the lyrics. That is why on some of the tracks I have stripped

:06:20. > :06:24.down the vocal, stripped down the production, and an acoustic

:06:24. > :06:28.versions so that people can understand the deeper meaning

:06:28. > :06:34.behind the album. I want the songs to shoplift people, make them happy,

:06:34. > :06:40.turn a negative situation into a positive. -- up lift people.

:06:40. > :06:46.Remember, you only live once. have also been a judge on the X

:06:46. > :06:51.Factor. What do you make of The Voice? I love it. I am nothing that

:06:51. > :06:55.there is a lot of opportunity out there for people to have a chance

:06:55. > :07:00.in this industry. -- I am loving. I am always going to be a fan of

:07:00. > :07:04.these shows for the simple reason that talent is being shown. It is

:07:04. > :07:11.for people that cannot walk into a record label and get signed. It is

:07:11. > :07:15.fantastic. The Voice is all about how good the singing is. Can people

:07:15. > :07:20.see past the back story and how the performer looks? For me, nothing

:07:20. > :07:23.should be about anything other than the voice, the talent, what you are

:07:23. > :07:27.giving, what is coming out of you. It should never be about anything

:07:27. > :07:33.else. On that note, you had a very interesting telephone call when you

:07:33. > :07:39.were very young. You sang down the telephone. He was on the other end?

:07:39. > :07:42.I am never going to forget this! My mother met Stevie Wonder and he

:07:42. > :07:52.rang the house own and I got to sing down the telephone to him and

:07:52. > :07:54.

:07:54. > :08:01.he sang back to me. -- the house phone. He did It isn't she Lovely.

:08:01. > :08:04.Then I started crying, as I always do! I said I did not mean to this

:08:04. > :08:09.respect him and I did not realise it was him, and he wanted to sign

:08:09. > :08:14.me but my mother said I was too young. She was right, I was only 12

:08:14. > :08:24.and I did have to finish school. She was right and everybody has

:08:24. > :08:24.

:08:24. > :08:28.been right ever since! 27th May, Let It Go comes out. And the album

:08:28. > :08:33.is out in June. This rain has been perfect conditions for our bluebell

:08:33. > :08:40.woods. They have been in bloom for longer than usual but this can be a

:08:40. > :08:44.growing problem. Yes, Britain. Your bluebells need you. Walk through

:08:44. > :08:48.the woods at this time of year and you are likely to be rewarded with

:08:49. > :08:53.a stunning spectacle. A carpet of purple stretching into the distance

:08:53. > :08:58.and the sweet smell filling the air. Around half of the world's

:08:58. > :09:04.population of wild bluebells are found in the UK, making our woods

:09:04. > :09:08.internationally important. This woodland in Wiltshire is a classic

:09:08. > :09:13.spot. Not all bluebells in Britain are native. There is an invader in

:09:13. > :09:16.our midst, the Spanish bluebell. Spanish bluebells were brought to

:09:16. > :09:21.the UK as garden plants. The problem is that they are incredibly

:09:21. > :09:26.good at cross-breeding with our native bluebells. They are putting

:09:26. > :09:32.this magnificent spectacle under threat. Native bluebells need our

:09:32. > :09:36.help. Dr Fred Rumsey from the Natural History Museum is running a

:09:36. > :09:43.survey to do just that, eye- tracking where the native and

:09:43. > :09:48.Spanish invaders got to. It was here in the early 17th century and

:09:48. > :09:52.it has been spreading slowly, we think, ever since. As it spread all

:09:52. > :09:57.over the country now? It has got as far as Scotland but we are sketchy

:09:57. > :10:03.about the details of where it is. Hence the project? Yes, we need

:10:03. > :10:07.people to help find out whether bluebells are. Then we can keep

:10:07. > :10:12.beautiful populations like this going. How do you tell a native

:10:12. > :10:15.from a Spanish? There are some classic signs. For starters, native

:10:15. > :10:25.bluebells have a gently nodding head, with all the bells on one

:10:25. > :10:25.

:10:25. > :10:28.side. They are a dark colour, tubular, with lovely curved petals.

:10:28. > :10:34.When you look inside, you can see the contrast between the dark

:10:34. > :10:44.colour of the flour and the White, the pale cream anchors. And of

:10:44. > :10:45.

:10:45. > :10:49.course you get that amazing smile. Gorgeous. -- smell. In contrast,

:10:49. > :10:55.the Spanish bluebell is a very different beast, traditionally

:10:55. > :10:59.found in gardens. The Spanish stands tall with flowers all round,

:10:59. > :11:08.and instead of narrow belts, the flowers are open with blue pollen

:11:08. > :11:10.and no cent. -- no smell. It is a hybrid that of the problem. As the

:11:10. > :11:15.Spanish cross with the natives, they are creeping into the

:11:15. > :11:19.countryside, threatening to push out the native bluebells. As they

:11:19. > :11:23.are a mixture of both species, it takes a keen eye to spot them.

:11:23. > :11:33.with all hybrid, it is an intermediate, with characters of

:11:33. > :11:33.

:11:33. > :11:42.both parents. The colour is midway between the two. We have got a

:11:42. > :11:50.fledge bell, but not very wide and open like the Spanish one. -- fled.

:11:50. > :11:54.There is a trace of a smile, but not the lovely sweet, honey smell.

:11:54. > :11:57.I'm surprised we have got hybrid plans on the edge of woodland in a

:11:57. > :12:02.wild place. I would have thought they would be native. They are

:12:02. > :12:05.common in urban areas, close to gardens, and little stretches of

:12:05. > :12:12.ancient woodland around towns are increasingly filling up with hybrid

:12:12. > :12:16.plants. The Spanish ones of crossing with the natives.

:12:16. > :12:21.bluebells are pollinated by insects but we can help prevent the spread

:12:21. > :12:26.of Spanish and hybrids by not planting them in our gardens and

:12:26. > :12:30.making sure they are dead before we compost them. We can also do the

:12:30. > :12:34.survey. How would you like One Show viewers to help? We would like

:12:34. > :12:40.people to go to our website and then they can record on that where

:12:40. > :12:45.they have seen bluebells, which ones and when they are flowering.

:12:45. > :12:48.Then we can find out where they are and keep them apart. Only by

:12:48. > :12:51.knowing where every native stronghold is in Britain will the

:12:51. > :12:56.wildlife agencies be able to protect them from the invading

:12:56. > :13:06.Spanish and hybrids. Now is the time to get out and enjoy this

:13:06. > :13:10.

:13:10. > :13:14.wonderful spectacle and help our He was glued to that! You have to

:13:14. > :13:19.go out and do the survey. What a lovely image.

:13:19. > :13:25.To help out with the Natural History Museum's survey, go to our

:13:25. > :13:29.website, where you will find a link to it. He will also see a short

:13:29. > :13:33.video way you will find out everything you need to do.

:13:33. > :13:37.Is is a great website, I was on it another day.

:13:37. > :13:41.Anyone who have taken a flight with the young child will know the first

:13:41. > :13:46.job is to strap them in and the second is to keep them entertained.

:13:46. > :13:51.I got the safety card out to show my son the aeroplane and then I had

:13:52. > :13:55.to explain to him why he could not have a go on the inflatable slide!

:13:55. > :14:03.A Politics Scotland view of got in touch because she is questioning

:14:03. > :14:08.whether sitting children on your lap is dangerous.

:14:08. > :14:11.Every year, thousands of us head on our holidays trusting that the

:14:11. > :14:18.airlines will get us to our destinations safely but one woman

:14:18. > :14:24.wrote to the show with a serious concern. Why are toddlers and

:14:24. > :14:29.babies expected to sit on their parents' laps when on an aeroplane?

:14:29. > :14:33.It is not safe. In the same way as on a car, they should be in a car

:14:33. > :14:38.seat and they should be properly protected. You could not imagine

:14:39. > :14:44.getting in a car and putting ATOC lock on your lap. All UK airlines

:14:44. > :14:51.allow children under two to travel on their parents lap. This is how

:14:51. > :14:56.most of us live with a child under two at the moment. -- most of us

:14:56. > :15:05.flyer. You are provided with a seat belt like this. Bring the baby on

:15:05. > :15:10.to your lap. Everyone happy? We are ready. Rebecca has a 20 month old

:15:10. > :15:16.daughter and is expecting a second baby. She has to do a lot of flying

:15:16. > :15:21.because she works as an engineer on military jets in Germany. If you

:15:21. > :15:26.had to stop suddenly, instead of going forwards, you a crushing the

:15:26. > :15:31.baby on your lap. But parents might be concerned that this is another

:15:31. > :15:37.charge for parents. I think a lot of parents would be happy to pay

:15:37. > :15:42.the extra. Some parents do already choose to pay extra on airlines

:15:42. > :15:47.that allow it but Rebecca is so concerned about the issue, she has

:15:47. > :15:52.set up an online campaign and her worries were heightened when she

:15:52. > :15:55.read an official report by the European aviation safety agency.

:15:55. > :15:58.This report acknowledges that babies and infants would be safer

:15:58. > :16:05.if they have their own seats with proper seat belts to restrain them

:16:05. > :16:09.in the event of an accident. The experts to work on the report

:16:09. > :16:14.carried out crash tests to analyse the effectiveness of look seat

:16:14. > :16:19.belts, used to secure babies. This footage shows a similar experiment

:16:19. > :16:24.in America, with devastating consequences for the baby. In

:16:24. > :16:34.America and Canada, loop bells have been banned but in the UK, they are

:16:34. > :16:39.still common thread is it --, the soap is it time for a new policy?

:16:39. > :16:43.One of parents be concerns around this suggestion is that it would

:16:43. > :16:49.increase the cost of going away to the point where they would not be

:16:49. > :16:53.able to take their family on holiday any more. Lots of parents

:16:53. > :16:58.had travelled with their children and not had any problems. Airline

:16:58. > :17:03.travel is generally seen as very safe and so it is not men number

:17:03. > :17:07.one issue when they are thinking about travelling -- their number

:17:08. > :17:12.one issue. In the UK, the Civil Aviation Authority enforces the

:17:12. > :17:17.rules and while they encourage airlines to offer a choice, they do

:17:17. > :17:23.not think banning those types of seat belts are necessary.

:17:23. > :17:28.position is based on 30 years of supplementary loop seatbelts been

:17:28. > :17:35.used by UK airlines, and there is no statistical evidence to

:17:35. > :17:40.demonstrate that carrying infants in that way is not safe. Currently

:17:40. > :17:44.most of the large airlines will allow you to buy an extra seat for

:17:44. > :17:50.a child under two but some insist that babies under six months old

:17:50. > :17:54.must travel on an adult's lap. For Rebecca, having the option to use a

:17:54. > :17:59.proper child seat on every airline would be a step forward. The

:17:59. > :18:04.airline she uses has changed their policy, but not as a result of

:18:04. > :18:08.Rebecca's campaign. EasyJet have changed their regulation so babies

:18:08. > :18:14.under six months have the option to go for a baby seat so at Christmas,

:18:14. > :18:20.we will be buying one and the baby will be safely protected and we can

:18:20. > :18:24.see the family, which is great. you want more details on what the

:18:24. > :18:27.Civil Aviation Authority says about this, there is a link on our

:18:27. > :18:37.website. Yesterday we ask you to send our

:18:37. > :18:39.

:18:40. > :18:44.question for Nu -- Planet Earth. June try to send her female Cup

:18:44. > :18:54.into the wild but she was not taking the hint. The big question

:18:54. > :19:21.

:19:21. > :19:27.I was in the woods with Fern and June and I saw June, Aspen back

:19:27. > :19:31.together! Aspen was suckling on her mum! June is not very good at the

:19:31. > :19:37.family break-up, she does not want to let go of the kids!

:19:38. > :19:43.We have got time for some questions. How read books would like to know,

:19:43. > :19:49.what is a bear's favourite season? -- Harry Brooks. And John would

:19:49. > :19:55.like to know what a bear's sleeping pattern is like? Do they sleep

:19:55. > :20:01.longer than humans? Next time I am out with a bear, I

:20:01. > :20:06.will ask them what their six favourite season is. In Minnesota

:20:06. > :20:12.they say, if you don't like the weather, come back in five minutes

:20:12. > :20:18.of stock and bear sleeps six hours every night. They have a cat nap in

:20:18. > :20:26.the day and that is what you can see Herbie and Fern doing up a tree.

:20:26. > :20:32.Look how cute that is! Before I go. I have got some more Herbie and

:20:32. > :20:37.Fern treats. This is then climbing trees, practising their real

:20:37. > :20:42.important tree climbing. Two things you should not do when you are

:20:42. > :20:48.climbing trees in Minnesota, do not climb dead trees and stay away from

:20:48. > :20:54.the birch tree because they have a slippery bark. Guess what trees

:20:54. > :21:00.they are trying to climb! What can we look forward to tonight? We have

:21:00. > :21:04.the update on June and Aspen, the update on the meerkat, did he

:21:04. > :21:12.survive the COBRA? Lovely to see you.

:21:12. > :21:16.Goodbye! More animals now. More of the domestic kind. For all of you

:21:16. > :21:21.taking photos of your dogs doing tricks, it is time to cover their

:21:21. > :21:31.ears because this next film is all about the woman who made this

:21:31. > :21:32.

:21:32. > :21:36.command famous. Walkies! In this House in Dublin live a

:21:36. > :21:41.quintessentially English woman, who made us sit up and listen to her

:21:41. > :21:45.every command. But a century ago, Barbara Woodhouse was called

:21:45. > :21:51.Barbara Blackburn. She was born into the English elite when Ireland

:21:51. > :21:57.was trying to break free from British rule. She was the most

:21:57. > :22:01.unlikely TV star. She wore tweed skirts, a cardigan, happier in the

:22:01. > :22:05.show ring than with showbiz, and preferred mucking out to going out.

:22:05. > :22:11.A nation which had voted in its first female prime minister was

:22:11. > :22:18.also happy to obey orders from Queen Barbara. The Guinness Book of

:22:18. > :22:26.Records name to of the world's top trainer. Sit! She had made a career

:22:26. > :22:31.out of being bossy. Keep your hand out of the way! That was good!

:22:31. > :22:35.Barbara's father was an Anglican minister and when she was born, he

:22:35. > :22:42.was headmaster at St Columba's College in Dublin. Many of the

:22:42. > :22:50.pupils trained as future offices of the British Army. The family lived

:22:50. > :22:54.in this school grounds. Her father, the Reverend, was a headmaster.

:22:54. > :23:00.was a strict disciplinarian, a formidable person. Both parents
