:00:14. > :00:18.Hello and welcome to The One Show, with Matt Baker...
:00:18. > :00:21.And Alex Jones. Tonight's guest is a former newsreader and one of the
:00:21. > :00:24.UK's most highly-regarded journalists. From his famous
:00:24. > :00:27.reports on the Ethiopian famine through to TV and radio shows such
:00:27. > :00:32.as 999 and The Moral Maze, he's known for bringing an air of
:00:32. > :00:38.gravitas to all his broadcasts. the last time I met him, my wife
:00:38. > :00:48.got her engagement ring caught in his fishnet tights. It's Michael
:00:48. > :00:57.
:00:57. > :01:02.You will have to explain yourself. It happens all the time. It is my
:01:02. > :01:08.claim to fame! It was for Children In Need, it was The Rocky Horror
:01:08. > :01:11.Show. Keep saying that, yes. But unfortunately, I had to do than
:01:11. > :01:14.using the fishnet stockings as well, because it was immediately after
:01:14. > :01:19.the 10 O'Clock News, and there was not time to change in between. It
:01:19. > :01:24.was a great night in the newsroom that night. We really wanted to get
:01:24. > :01:31.a clip, but they told us that the archive had been lost - is the tape
:01:31. > :01:36.in your hands? No. National security. They have all been wiped.
:01:36. > :01:42.But you have not read the news in a while. Not for eight or nine years,
:01:42. > :01:51.I think. For old time's sake, will you do it for us? Take it away,
:01:51. > :01:56.Michael! Good evening. Passion the One Show O'Clock News. The
:01:56. > :02:01.headlines - Cheltenham pledges allegiance to Malawi. Wildlife
:02:01. > :02:07.presenters gatecrash peaceful family holiday. And crazy scientist
:02:07. > :02:13.goes on explosive rampaged. Brilliant. So lovely to have a
:02:13. > :02:16.round of applause as well. Michael is here to speak about his new
:02:16. > :02:21.series, about the greatest artefacts found by members of the
:02:21. > :02:24.public. We thought we would set you a bit of a challenge at home, so we
:02:25. > :02:28.are asking you, what is the best thing that you have ever found? It
:02:28. > :02:34.does not have to be valuable, but it would help if you have a
:02:34. > :02:39.photograph. Send us a picture of you with your find, and we will
:02:39. > :02:44.share some of your treasures later on. Despite a ban on certain breeds
:02:44. > :02:48.of dog, hospital admissions for serious dog bites in the UK have
:02:48. > :02:52.more than doubled in the past decade. Potentially dangerous dogs
:02:52. > :02:57.are still on our streets. Declan Lawn joined one team which is
:02:57. > :03:02.responsible for tracking them down. A lot of dogs are dangerous, but
:03:02. > :03:07.not all dangerous dogs are illegal. In the east London borough of
:03:07. > :03:12.Newham, this animal welfare officer is joined by the police on an
:03:12. > :03:17.operation to get certain animals off the street. Once you have
:03:17. > :03:22.contained the dog, then you can enter the premises. I am going to
:03:22. > :03:26.join the team today, as they attempt to crack down on dangerous
:03:26. > :03:29.dogs here in the capital. In this case, the intelligence has come
:03:29. > :03:36.from tip-offs from the police as well as from members of the public.
:03:37. > :03:41.So, we're going to a place where it is alleged that there are pit bulls
:03:41. > :03:44.on the premises. What can you expect typically? Sometimes the
:03:44. > :03:49.person will be aggressive, sometimes the dog will be
:03:49. > :03:58.aggressive, you really do not know what will happen. As we arrived at
:03:58. > :04:07.the first address, she spotted the target of their visit. Hello, I am
:04:07. > :04:12.from animal welfare - what kind of breed of dog is it? She is muzzled.
:04:12. > :04:16.Under the dangerous dogs act, pit bull terriers are banned, and the
:04:16. > :04:20.inspector suspects this one is illegal. We are going to seize him,
:04:20. > :04:25.I'm a friend. I understand you're upset, but if she is not a pitbull,
:04:25. > :04:28.then she will be returned to you on Thursday. If she is, then we will
:04:28. > :04:32.discuss the various options available. You will not be able to
:04:32. > :04:36.see her now. It is clearly a difficult situation for the owners,
:04:36. > :04:40.because they feel that they are looking after their dogs, that the
:04:40. > :04:46.dog is well behaved. But the fact of the matter is that this dog
:04:46. > :04:51.could well be a pit bull. The dog is seized, to be taken to the
:04:51. > :04:56.kennels for assessment. Back on the road, Tina spots something
:04:56. > :05:02.suspicious. In the churchyard, there was a person with a pit bull.
:05:02. > :05:10.It is something she cannot ignore. What breed of dog do you think you
:05:10. > :05:16.have got? She is a mastiff. looks like she has got a bit of
:05:16. > :05:23.Labrador in her. I am afraid I want to take her and have processed as a
:05:23. > :05:27.pit bull-type dog. Union put her down? I did not say that. That is
:05:27. > :05:32.one of the options, though, isn't it? It is one of the options, it
:05:32. > :05:37.can be put to sleep, with your permission. The animal welfare
:05:37. > :05:41.officer obviously suspects it might be a pitbull - did you ever suspect
:05:42. > :05:47.that? She looks a bit like that, but she looks more like a labrador
:05:47. > :05:52.to me. What are you going to do now? One option is that you can
:05:52. > :05:56.fight for her to be returned. will do that, she is my dog, part
:05:56. > :06:02.of the family. The team have a number of visits to get through.
:06:02. > :06:06.After this detour, they're off to the next call, a pitbull which
:06:06. > :06:11.allegedly bites. We have had a complaint that one of your dogs
:06:11. > :06:18.picked somebody in the block. You never leave the door open or
:06:18. > :06:23.anything? No. I needed to take him to be assessed now. Do you want to
:06:23. > :06:27.have a minute with him? You can take him downstairs, that's fine.
:06:27. > :06:32.The lady did not want to talk to me, she is obviously very emotional,
:06:32. > :06:36.very upset. She contends that the dog is kept well, that it is a
:06:36. > :06:43.friendly dog, that it is not going to bite anyone, and it has not
:06:43. > :06:48.beaten anyone. She is worried that now, it is going to be put down.
:06:48. > :06:53.The dogs are taken to high-security kennels, where they are assessed by
:06:53. > :06:57.experts if they are in fact illegal. Sometimes the person does not want
:06:57. > :07:02.the dog back, because they had not realised it was a pit bull. It will
:07:02. > :07:06.be put down. Other times they can be prosecuted under the Dangerous
:07:06. > :07:10.Dogs Act. And on a few occasions, the dogs are returned through the
:07:10. > :07:16.courts with restrictions placed on them. Today we have been seeing
:07:16. > :07:21.that it is quite a lot of manpower and expense - is it worth it?
:07:21. > :07:25.We do not know what possible attacks we have prevented. Some of
:07:25. > :07:30.those dogs are very aggressive, and they are not dogs which should be
:07:30. > :07:34.in the community. All three dogs were found to be illegal pit bulls.
:07:34. > :07:38.This one has been put to sleep. It has yet to be decided what will
:07:38. > :07:42.happen to the second one. The owner of the third one is being given the
:07:42. > :07:47.opportunity to apply to keep her under special court restrictions,
:07:47. > :07:53.which means the dog will have to be neutered, in short, and always
:07:54. > :07:59.muzzled and on a lead in public. We are joined now by Mike Dilger -
:08:00. > :08:03.what happens in the assessment, and which ones are granted exemption?
:08:04. > :08:08.First and foremost, there are four types of dog which are banned, we
:08:08. > :08:14.are looking at this pit bull terrier, the Fila Brasileiro, the
:08:14. > :08:19.Dogo Argentino and the Japanese Tosa. But any dog which is
:08:19. > :08:23.considered to be pit bull-type can be banned as well. They looked at
:08:23. > :08:27.57 different characteristics, and if a substantial number of those
:08:27. > :08:32.characteristics are present, then the dog will be banned. It is the
:08:32. > :08:37.police and the local council which carries out the tests. But any dog
:08:37. > :08:41.which is not deemed to be a threat to public safety has a second
:08:41. > :08:47.chance. If a dog goes on the list, the owner has to carry out a list
:08:47. > :08:52.of criteria, to make sure that the dog will not be put down. They have
:08:52. > :08:57.to make sure it is no threat to the public. It is quite complicated.
:08:57. > :09:05.How can people make sure that they do not become the owner of an
:09:05. > :09:11.illegal dog? First and foremost, go to a reputable breeder. There is an
:09:11. > :09:14.assured Breeda's scheme, run by the Kennel Club. You can go to
:09:15. > :09:22.responsible dogs Home, Light Battersea, which is not allowed to
:09:22. > :09:29.have the band dogs. They have weekly checks, done by experts. And
:09:29. > :09:37.it is not recommended to buy a dog on the Internet. That would include
:09:37. > :09:42.local papers, and people down the pub as well. Moving on to safer
:09:42. > :09:48.animals now, because this is in fact your favourite One Show time
:09:48. > :09:52.of year, isn't it? Yes, every summer, Miranda and I have a
:09:52. > :09:59.wildlife-filled blast with a family somewhere in the UK. This time, we
:09:59. > :10:04.have got a very special offer - 50% more rain. This year, we have come
:10:04. > :10:09.to the East Midlands to join a One Show family, and show them a really
:10:09. > :10:13.wild time on their holiday. We're going to reveal just how much
:10:13. > :10:16.wildlife this industrial heartland has to offer. We will be exploring
:10:16. > :10:23.this canal in Leicestershire, which was once a corridor for carrying
:10:23. > :10:27.coal, but now a nature haven. For one week, we will be jumping on
:10:27. > :10:37.board with the Putman from Staffordshire. And that is my home
:10:37. > :10:38.
:10:38. > :10:42.county. In typical British fashion, it is summer, and it is raining.
:10:42. > :10:48.love the peace, the solitude, and it is part of our heritage, from
:10:48. > :10:53.years gone by. We love the canals, we are country such people. I could
:10:53. > :10:59.not imagine lying on a beach. This is absolutely perfect for us.
:10:59. > :11:03.Joining them are their daughter and grandchildren. We are only five
:11:03. > :11:08.miles from home, and it seems like you're in another world. It is
:11:08. > :11:16.completely different along the canal. I like driving the boat in
:11:16. > :11:26.and out of the locks. I like to see this one has. The Putmans are in
:11:26. > :11:34.
:11:34. > :11:40.for a real treat. -- to see the swans. Just look across there. On a
:11:40. > :11:44.canal, you're never far away from wildlife, and on this beautiful day,
:11:44. > :11:48.and go to show the Putmans just what is living in the water. I am
:11:48. > :11:53.here to look for two special Canal residents. What has granny got?
:11:53. > :12:01.Within just 10 minutes, we have pulled out both of them. Here we
:12:01. > :12:07.go! Star find! Well done. Does that look exciting? It looks like a
:12:07. > :12:13.paperclip to me. Anybody have any idea what it is? I have no idea.
:12:13. > :12:22.This is a master of disguise. Let's put him in the water and see what's
:12:22. > :12:27.comes out. Can you see him moving around? It is a little insect which
:12:27. > :12:31.makes a little home for himself in a little tune. He will make a home
:12:31. > :12:35.with whatever he finds at the bottom of the canal. If you look
:12:35. > :12:39.really closely, you can see all of the different colours, the tiny
:12:39. > :12:45.pebbles, and he has stuck them all together to make himself a nice
:12:45. > :12:51.little home. They are true architect. It is just incredible.
:12:51. > :13:00.It is very neat, isn't it? What a clever little they're. And the
:13:00. > :13:06.other star find was this little creature. This is a freshwater
:13:06. > :13:12.mussel. The cool thing about these is that you can actually date them.
:13:12. > :13:20.In the winter, they grow quite slowly, and you can estimate their
:13:20. > :13:28.age by counting the number of bands. Can you count? 10, that's the same
:13:28. > :13:36.age as me! Fantastic. These are massive, and pretty cool, I think.
:13:37. > :13:41.Say goodbye! Tucked away, and lined with towpaths, canals are a
:13:41. > :13:47.favourite home for mammals. I am hoping to show the family a
:13:47. > :13:54.secretive president. And stop. Have a look over here. Can you see all
:13:54. > :14:03.of these lumps and bumps, that is an animal Palace. You can see four
:14:03. > :14:10.holes. What animal do you think would be living underneath here?
:14:10. > :14:15.Badger. We have a bit of a consensus on the badger, so it is
:14:15. > :14:20.time to put a special trap down to find out. The animals coming out
:14:20. > :14:25.we'll leave their footprints on the sand. It will help us find out what
:14:25. > :14:35.is living below the bank. And we will have the special night-vision
:14:35. > :14:38.cameras as well. Hopefully we will catch it. Tomorrow, we will be
:14:38. > :14:48.investigating a tunnel on the canal, and finding out what is hiding in
:14:48. > :14:49.
:14:49. > :14:53.More from Mike and Miranda and the Putmans tomorrow. An action-packed
:14:53. > :14:57.week. It will be great. We understand, Michael, you enjoy
:14:58. > :15:04.sailing? Yes, I love sailing. Ironically, for someone who
:15:04. > :15:10.presents a show called 999 you had to be rescued yourself in 2008?!
:15:10. > :15:14.was a terrible mistake. Not my boat. The yacht master, the engine
:15:14. > :15:20.stopped. He thought he should ring the coastguard, they were on strike.
:15:20. > :15:25.Went through to the RNLI, then the lifeboat is bobbing up and down and
:15:25. > :15:29.they are like, "There is that bloke off the telly." They were so
:15:29. > :15:33.efficient, that the press office were there with the notebook and so
:15:33. > :15:40.were half the media. I bet they had a field day with
:15:40. > :15:45.that one. So, you have this new series, Britain's Secret Troughs
:15:45. > :15:50.coming up, Monday through to Sunday. This is what the greatest
:15:50. > :15:54.historical finds that have been found by members of public? Yes,
:15:54. > :15:59.exactly. Ordinary men and women, finding extraordinary things. About
:15:59. > :16:03.1 million or so. I don't like this, but I love this list, this is
:16:03. > :16:07.pinpointing which is the most important.
:16:07. > :16:11.How many? 1 million long, but then it goes to 50, then to the one that
:16:11. > :16:14.we consider, or the guys doing the judging to be the most important
:16:14. > :16:19.thing found in the last 30 years about Britain's past. Which is
:16:19. > :16:23.really, really exciting it works on two levels, the things themselves
:16:23. > :16:28.are sometimes so beautiful, so exquisite, but the really important
:16:28. > :16:32.thing, does it tell us something knew about the way we lived in the
:16:32. > :16:37.distant past and up to the recent past? So all of that is really
:16:37. > :16:40.exciting. You are the man in charge, the
:16:40. > :16:45.ringmaster... They are not necessarily the same, but go on.
:16:45. > :16:51.You have a team of presenters who follow the stories through? Yes.
:16:51. > :16:57.In the episode tonight we see Saul David looking at a few of the
:16:57. > :17:03.surviving toys from the 1700s. This tiny canon is old and delicate,
:17:03. > :17:06.but it would have been able to fire real canon balls. Look at that.
:17:06. > :17:11.Amazing. Could you make something like that?
:17:11. > :17:16.I think it is time to break open the mould to see what we have got.
:17:16. > :17:22.There you are. Now, in true schoolboy style we are
:17:22. > :17:28.going to try to fire the canon at a water-filled balloon. Just about to
:17:28. > :17:32.load... Fantastic! Wonderful! APPLAUSE
:17:32. > :17:37.Michael, it must be really difficult to be judging these items
:17:37. > :17:41.against each other, they are so different? Almost impossible, when
:17:41. > :17:46.you think about it, but then if you apply the criteria, what does it
:17:46. > :17:51.tell us that is knew about the people of the past? How does it
:17:51. > :17:56.link us? Almost on an intellectual and emotional level, when you think
:17:56. > :18:00.to yourself who was the last person who had that, held it, used it
:18:00. > :18:04.is a good point. On the table we have a wrist ring.
:18:05. > :18:10.It is. It would be up here. It is a Viking
:18:10. > :18:18.arm band from about 8900 when the Vikings were colonists here, not
:18:18. > :18:24.just raiders. It is what a might give to a warrior if the butch
:18:24. > :18:30.ering average was high. It is that sort of thing. It is also a
:18:30. > :18:34.measurement of wealth just buried in a field under a led box. That is
:18:34. > :18:39.part of a horde of 200 items found in the same box.
:18:39. > :18:42.You would say it was Government. I would say so, but I would say
:18:42. > :18:46.that Viking has a thin wrist as well.
:18:46. > :18:49.It might have been a thin wrist... But one of the favourite pieces
:18:49. > :18:58.over the series was a piece of jewellery for you.
:18:58. > :19:04.Yes, the Taulk. I am keen on history, keen on Roman history, you
:19:04. > :19:12.think of the Britons, whether the Romans came as being savages. This
:19:12. > :19:19.comes from the Iceni tribe, which is Bude car. At a time when Bude
:19:19. > :19:24.car lived. -- Boudicca. It is beautiful, the craftsmanship
:19:24. > :19:33.and the civilisation it be tokens it is absolutely a miez -- amazing.
:19:33. > :19:37.Well, Britain's Secret Troughs start tonight. 8.00Pm on ITV1.
:19:37. > :19:44.Olympic teams have begun arriving at the Olympic Village, in all
:19:44. > :19:47.shapes and sizes. Team GB has 542 athletes, enough to fill a jumbo
:19:47. > :19:53.jet. Angelica Bell has been to welcome one team that can all fit
:19:53. > :19:59.in a hatchback. The Olympic dreams of an entire
:19:59. > :20:05.African nation are to be found here in the West Country of England.
:20:05. > :20:08.Athletes from the south-east African country, Malawi have made
:20:08. > :20:13.the towns of Cheltenham and Gloucester their temporary home.
:20:13. > :20:18.They seted in, training hard in final preparations for the Games. I
:20:18. > :20:25.have come to meet the team and give them a proper One Show welcome.
:20:25. > :20:31.It is lovely to meet you all, thank you for joining me for tea. Here is
:20:31. > :20:37.the line-up: Mike Tebulo is 27 and competing in this year's marathon.
:20:37. > :20:42.Charlton Nyirenda, 23, in the 50m freestyle. 28-year-old Ambwene
:20:43. > :20:49.Simukonda is running the 400m. Joyce Tafatatha, the youngest in
:20:49. > :20:52.the team at 14 years of age in the 50m freestyle. That is it, four
:20:52. > :20:54.athletes. They are among the smallest team at the Olympics. The
:20:54. > :20:58.locals have taken them to their hearts.
:20:59. > :21:03.It is a great privilege for Cheltenham to have the Malawi team
:21:03. > :21:07.here in the Olympics it is a small town it feels as though we are part
:21:07. > :21:12.of the Olympics now. To come here and see people like that training
:21:12. > :21:17.is something quite special. Back home, the team is more used to
:21:17. > :21:22.the exotic scenes of Malawi. One of the first challenges for the
:21:22. > :21:27.pocket-sized team is getting used to the change of scenery.
:21:27. > :21:33.How are you enjoying the stay? been good. We have been training in
:21:33. > :21:39.Gloucester. The community has been very welcoming. What do you like so
:21:40. > :21:44.far? The weather! I've seen London in pictures, movies.
:21:44. > :21:49.So you have not been there yet? we have not been there. I'm sure it
:21:49. > :21:53.will be busy. There are four of you competing for
:21:53. > :21:58.Malawi, how does it feel to hold that Olympic dream for your
:21:58. > :22:07.country? Out of 4 million people it is a big thing, such an honour.
:22:07. > :22:13.are a small team, but we are tough. Fighting talk! The Malawi team have
:22:13. > :22:20.won the West Country over, but where will loyalties really lie on
:22:20. > :22:28.race day? Who are you supporting, team Malawi or Team GB? Yes, I will
:22:28. > :22:33.be giving a shout for Malawi. Team Malawi, we have seen them live in
:22:33. > :22:39.Cheltenham! My heart has to be with my country, but support for Malawi.
:22:39. > :22:45.OK, we've been rehearsing that, zabwino zonse to the Malawi team,
:22:45. > :22:50.that is good luck. We hope it is. Now, Ade Adepitan is here.
:22:50. > :22:56.Athletes have begun to arrive, they are sleeping in the village. They
:22:56. > :23:04.have you to thank for testing the beds? Yes, or me to blame if the
:23:04. > :23:08.beds are no good. I was part of a group of former athletes to advise
:23:08. > :23:12.on making the village athlete- friendly. I tested out the beds.
:23:12. > :23:17.They thought I was the best man to try them out. The beds must be
:23:17. > :23:25.strong, comfortable. They are going to get a lot of use and dealing
:23:25. > :23:29.with different types of athletes. Gymnasts from 5ft tall to 7ft 5
:23:29. > :23:34.basketball players. The you'dow guy will have
:23:34. > :23:41.difficulty. The beds are lovely, but they are small? You are looking
:23:41. > :23:47.for a four-poster. You are talking about Ricardo Blas from Guam. He is
:23:47. > :23:53.the heaviest Olympian to compete. How heavy do you think he is? There
:23:53. > :23:57.he is. Go on, Michael? He is the guy with
:23:57. > :24:03.the big armpit. I think about 35 stone.
:24:03. > :24:09.You are there, 33 stone. He is going to be competing in the judo.
:24:09. > :24:13.He is 26 years old. I hope he does not roll on anyone.
:24:13. > :24:18.I feel sorry for the guy in his armpit.
:24:18. > :24:23.They have communal tellies, hello, good evening and welcome.
:24:23. > :24:28.Thank you very much. Now, we will take a slow. Here is Luis Boa Morte
:24:28. > :24:33.on how a quick flash of inspiration led to a slow-burning safety
:24:33. > :24:39.revolution. The use of explosives is tightly
:24:39. > :24:45.regulated for one reason, it is highly dangerous. Today charges are
:24:45. > :24:49.set off using electronic fuses, but 200 years ago there was not the
:24:49. > :24:53.technology nor the health and safety regulations to protect
:24:53. > :25:00.people using explosives. Death and maiming were everyday occurrences
:25:00. > :25:06.in this line of work. In the 19th century, mines like this were made
:25:06. > :25:11.by blasting rocks with gun powder. They used a goose quill.
:25:11. > :25:16.So a fuse? Exactly. This is filled with black powder.
:25:16. > :25:21.That is is a miner's term for gun powder. The which it -- way it
:25:21. > :25:27.burnt was a big problem. No two were the same. They were
:25:27. > :25:32.susceptible to damp, meaning the burning rates were unpredictable.
:25:32. > :25:38.We ran an experiment with four quills packed with gun powder. They
:25:38. > :25:44.all burned at different rates. With one fizzling out. This proved
:25:44. > :25:52.dangerous and countless miners died because of this. In 1830, a leather
:25:52. > :25:57.worker moved here to Camborne, it was the centre of Cornwall's huge
:25:57. > :26:02.tin mining industry. William was not a miner, but he was
:26:02. > :26:09.shocked at the number of injuries sustained by the miners while doing
:26:09. > :26:13.the blasting. He vowed to come up with a way to make is safer.
:26:14. > :26:19.William Bickford experimented and then inspiration came when he met
:26:19. > :26:26.with a friend, a local rope-maker, James Bray.
:26:26. > :26:30.He noticed how the women made the rope, that was his eureka moment.
:26:30. > :26:35.Bickford realise fundamental you made the fuses in the same way as
:26:35. > :26:40.the rope, the burn rate would be consistent.
:26:40. > :26:46.Bickford's invention worked. He standardised the thickness of the
:26:46. > :26:52.chord so it burned at a steady rate of 30 seconds per foot.
:26:52. > :26:58.Which is why in our test, this 50 centimetre fuse takes a little less
:26:58. > :27:03.than 50 seconds to burn, but that is too tame a test for the One Show,
:27:03. > :27:09.let's blow something up. I am putting my life in Bickford's nands
:27:09. > :27:13.a disused quarry. How much fuse is here? 1.2 metres.
:27:13. > :27:19.120 seconds. So that goes on the rock. We light the end of this, we
:27:19. > :27:22.have two minutes to walk to a safe distance? You have it.
:27:22. > :27:27.The plastic explosive has the potential to kill us if we don't
:27:27. > :27:32.get a safe distance away. Ready? Yep.
:27:33. > :27:37.My instinct is to raun, but quarry regulations say it is -- is to run,
:27:37. > :27:47.but quarry regulations say it is safer to walk. I should have the
:27:47. > :27:48.
:27:48. > :27:57.time to retire to a safe distance. We're out of the blast radius, but
:27:57. > :28:01.the adrenaline is pumping as I await the blast... So, that was one
:28:01. > :28:05.minute, 55 seconds that is pretty close. 5 seconds out.
:28:05. > :28:11.That is within a good margin of error.
:28:11. > :28:16.The force of the explosion sent shards of granite hurtling outwards.
:28:16. > :28:23.It is thanks to the safety fuse that unlike 19th century miners we
:28:23. > :28:27.ran no risk of injury. William Bickford patented his fuse in 1831,
:28:28. > :28:33.but died a month before they went into production. He never bot to
:28:33. > :28:39.see his flash of inspiration, -- he never got to see his flash of
:28:39. > :28:43.inspiration, go global today, one that saved countless of lives. Now,
:28:43. > :28:49.we asked you earlier to show us the best things you have ever found.
:28:49. > :28:54.Michael you are starting us off... It is horrifyingly sweet it is each
:28:54. > :29:00.other, it is our first anniversary today, it is Shirley and Pete.
:29:00. > :29:07.This is from Gary Fowler in Kent. A Neolithic hand tool that he found
:29:07. > :29:12.when he was nine. And from Jerry in West Lothian, a
:29:12. > :29:17.Land Rover on a beach that could be past salvaging.
:29:17. > :29:23.That is all from us tonight. Thank you very much to Michael Buerk. If
