:00:13. > :00:20.Second day on the job, Jo. Are you settling in? I am, Matt. Thank you

:00:21. > :00:25.for asking. But I didn't read the small print. There's a bit about

:00:26. > :00:28.smiling. Oh, really? It says, One Show presenters must maintain

:00:29. > :00:31.visible signs of enjoyment at the beginning of each show. Yes, that's

:00:32. > :00:48.very important. I am smiling, Matt, just not on the outside.

:00:49. > :01:00.Hello and welcome to The One Show with Matt Baker... And a very smiley

:01:01. > :01:12.Jo Brand! Radiating joy. And there's a genuine reason to smile, Jo,

:01:13. > :01:19.because Alex has started her climb. There she is. That little white dot

:01:20. > :01:32.at the very bottom. That is Alex. We will be following her tonight. To

:01:33. > :01:43.Alex. She will be fine. Alex has been really scared up to now. If you

:01:44. > :01:47.have a picture of you doing something you never thought you

:01:48. > :01:52.would, send them in and we'll send the best ones to Alex. Here is

:01:53. > :02:00.tonight 's guest, overcoming his fears.

:02:01. > :02:14.Here he is. The facetious, the mischievous, the razor sharp, Louis

:02:15. > :02:21.Theroux. Welcome! Have a seat. Tell me. What is the scariest thing you

:02:22. > :02:28.have ever done in one of your shows? Other than being bitten by a dog, I

:02:29. > :02:35.have filmed at prisons, I have filmed at riots. I auditioned for

:02:36. > :02:43.Norwegian television as a singer on a cruise liner. Craig Revel Horwood

:02:44. > :02:49.was one person auditioning me. The boys dried up, the panic I felt. I

:02:50. > :02:55.was trying to seeing, or with a little help from my friends. It was

:02:56. > :03:11.terrible. -- I was trying to seeing, With A Little Help From My

:03:12. > :03:18.Friends. Alex has started her challenge. We were hoping to speak

:03:19. > :03:23.to her live tonight but the start time was moved earlier to give her a

:03:24. > :03:32.chance of reaching her hanging accommodation, which just looks

:03:33. > :03:36.horrendous. And small. You will see all of that later. So, before she

:03:37. > :03:45.stepped foot on the vertical 1200ft high Moonlight Buttress, Alex

:03:46. > :03:49.recorded this message. It is Tuesday morning and it is time for me to

:03:50. > :03:52.face my dear. By the time you're watching this I will already have

:03:53. > :03:55.started climbing that huge rock, which you'll be able to see live

:03:56. > :03:58.pictures of throughout tonight's show. We have already had some

:03:59. > :04:03.problems, putting up the portaledge, which is where I will

:04:04. > :04:11.spend the next two nights up there on the rock. More on that later in

:04:12. > :04:16.the show. Sport Relief fund people all around the world, including

:04:17. > :04:19.those affected by Typhoon Diane. Most families lost absolutely

:04:20. > :04:27.everything and they really do need our help. -- Typhoon Diane. I found

:04:28. > :04:34.out when I visited the Philippines a few weeks ago. Today we are heading

:04:35. > :04:39.out of Tacloban and into the countryside to a village which is

:04:40. > :04:48.known for its coconut tree farming. As we drive along, we get it real

:04:49. > :04:52.sense of the devastation. At 375 miles wide, Typhoon Haiyan hit the

:04:53. > :04:58.Philippines with tremendous force. In a matter of hours, 4 million

:04:59. > :05:04.people were made homeless. Many, like this 52-year-old, face an

:05:05. > :05:10.uncertain future living in makeshift shelters built from debris following

:05:11. > :05:18.the Typhoon. Thank you for letting us come into your house. It is very

:05:19. > :05:27.kind of you. Thank you so much. It is absolutely tiny. How do you

:05:28. > :05:31.cope, living here, the three of you? We lie down and write his side by

:05:32. > :05:38.fight. We can barely move around because there is little space. I get

:05:39. > :05:41.cramp in my leg from not being able to move. Quite a months of living in

:05:42. > :05:50.such cramped conditions is taking its toll. -- for number Amonths. It

:05:51. > :05:57.is difficult for them to do their homework. It is dark in here and

:05:58. > :05:58.there is not much room. His 14-year-old remains hopeful for her

:05:59. > :06:18.future. -- this 14-year-old. This is the spot where they house

:06:19. > :06:23.stood before Typhoon Haiyan struck. It is incredibly tough but can you

:06:24. > :06:33.tried to describe what happened that morning when the Typhoon hit? In the

:06:34. > :06:38.morning, we said, what are we going to do now? Nothing will ever be the

:06:39. > :06:45.same again. Every time I see this place, it reminds me of how good

:06:46. > :06:52.life was everything was gone, just like that, in an instant.

:06:53. > :07:07.Sadly this story is all too common. Everywhere you look like symbols of

:07:08. > :07:14.human tragedy. Today, the small farmers Association are rallying to

:07:15. > :07:19.support the family. Why have you identified Delia and the girls as a

:07:20. > :07:28.family who needs a house built for them? Says she is a widow, she does

:07:29. > :07:32.not have a stable income. The team on recycling word from a handful of

:07:33. > :07:39.the 33 million coconut trees felled in the Typhoon. How would you feel

:07:40. > :07:48.if you had a brand-new house? I feel really happy. Local projects like

:07:49. > :07:52.this one receive funding for essential tools. They desperately

:07:53. > :08:00.need more of the scale of the task ahead to rebuild on the island is

:08:01. > :08:05.fast. It is really hard to get your head around what happened here in

:08:06. > :08:09.terms of geography. As you can see, we are right in the middle of the

:08:10. > :08:13.country. The first thing that really struck me when we came into the

:08:14. > :08:19.house, or what is left of the house, is that the whole floor is

:08:20. > :08:24.covered in these little shells. If you consider that the ocean is about

:08:25. > :08:31.1.5 to two kilometres away, right over there to the left that gives

:08:32. > :08:38.you an idea of the scale and sheer force of this storm.

:08:39. > :08:45.Back on site, I think Crispin and the boys had done a great job.

:08:46. > :08:55.Wonder what they think of my skills. Do you think I am any good at DIY?

:08:56. > :09:00.You need a little practice. It is a final push to get Delia and the

:09:01. > :09:05.girls moved in before nightfall. How do you feel about having a new home?

:09:06. > :09:12.TRANSLATION: It is what I want. It is my dream

:09:13. > :09:18.that living conditions are better. I will not be having a problem with

:09:19. > :09:26.sleeping and my children can study whenever they want. What do you

:09:27. > :09:30.think of the new home? Happy. I am so happy for you. Delia and the

:09:31. > :09:37.girls have been fortunate enough to receive help but there are millions

:09:38. > :09:42.out there who need your help to restore their lives. Here are the

:09:43. > :10:10.details again. And remember Sport Relief supports

:10:11. > :10:14.many other charities, as well as those we have seen working in the

:10:15. > :10:25.Philippines. We are going to try to circle Alex.

:10:26. > :10:33.This is where they are starting to attach their ropes. You can see why

:10:34. > :10:42.they started early. Alex, where are you? Do you think she is having a

:10:43. > :10:54.sit down already? Now, the first episode of your new series, based in

:10:55. > :11:00.LA. It is called City of Dogs. Someone told me he ripped up your

:11:01. > :11:07.Jaguar. You have a very expensive car and he tore up the upholstery?

:11:08. > :11:21.In five minutes. Even the seat belt. Everything was off. Did you buy a

:11:22. > :11:28.new car? That is life. I keep the dog and I throw the car. You have

:11:29. > :11:34.met some very interesting people. I watched a preview with my dogs. I

:11:35. > :11:45.kind of wanted 2 cents... There is a lot of angry barking. Were going

:11:46. > :11:48.crazy, at times. Did they enjoy it? They were getting severely worked

:11:49. > :11:57.up. There are a lot of trouble dogs. It is known as the capital of

:11:58. > :12:02.pampered pooches but this is looking at the deprived dogs who live in the

:12:03. > :12:08.high crime areas and the select few that get adopted into the more

:12:09. > :12:19.comfortable and well off homes. Many of them are very adoptable and fine.

:12:20. > :12:27.Some of them, it is sort of a couple to M Fare Lady story. It is about

:12:28. > :12:34.the limits of how far you can train a dog. Some dogs end up ripping up

:12:35. > :12:41.the people and having to get down. What made you go and make this in

:12:42. > :12:48.LA? Did you think about Battersea dogs? I have been living in LA for

:12:49. > :12:54.the last year. I have learned there is a massive problem, not just with

:12:55. > :13:00.unwanted dogs in dogs homes, but dogs running on the streets. They

:13:01. > :13:07.get put down in their thousands. I have a home in London in a not very

:13:08. > :13:14.posh area. It is a high crime area. You do not see dogs running around

:13:15. > :13:18.in packs. In LA, you do. That sounds terrifying. The whole series is

:13:19. > :13:28.based on it. It is not all about dogs. It was a personal decision

:13:29. > :13:32.based on a lifestyle choice. I have two young children. My wife grew up

:13:33. > :13:38.abroad in a sunnier place than Britain. We thought, while the kids

:13:39. > :13:44.were young enough, we would live overseas in LA for a bit. It is home

:13:45. > :13:50.to a lot of expat Brits and it is always a source of good stories for

:13:51. > :13:57.me. It was a temporary move, just for the fun of it, and we will be

:13:58. > :14:01.coming back later this year. One of your programmes will be about

:14:02. > :14:08.Scientology. You put an online message out to people, asking them

:14:09. > :14:15.to contact you. I do it, yes, on Twitter. The next project I am

:14:16. > :14:19.working on is a feature film, a documentary feature, about

:14:20. > :14:24.Scientology, the Hollywood religion, whose devotees include

:14:25. > :14:28.John Travolta and Tom Cruise. I thought I would try and approach

:14:29. > :14:38.them through Twitter. It felt like the 20 14th thing to do. Have you

:14:39. > :14:44.had a response? So far, a little underwhelming but it is early days.

:14:45. > :14:51.They may be suspicious because Scientology has not really had a

:14:52. > :14:57.good press. Scientology and the BBC have a little bit of history. I am

:14:58. > :15:03.keen for Scientologists out there, who are watching, to know the

:15:04. > :15:10.intention is very much to make a positive piece. There is a lot of

:15:11. > :15:17.Scientology bashing going on. I am sure there are masses of good things

:15:18. > :15:19.that they do. You can see City of Dogs on Sunday night at 9pm on BBC

:15:20. > :15:28.Two. Look what I have discovered the

:15:29. > :15:33.studio lights can do. That a colourful display! But the fact we

:15:34. > :15:39.are going to meet next only sees in black-and-white. He has come up with

:15:40. > :15:45.an amazing way of getting round the problem My name is Neil Harbisson. I

:15:46. > :15:48.have been accepted as a cyborg by the golf. I was born with a

:15:49. > :15:53.condition that means I can only see in black-and-white. As a kid I

:15:54. > :15:57.doubted whether colour existed or not. The reality is you cannot

:15:58. > :16:03.ignore colour. Colour is everywhere. At school I memorised that the sky

:16:04. > :16:13.is blue. The grass is green. And lemons are yellow. But in 2004, my

:16:14. > :16:17.life changed. With other people we developed a device that develops

:16:18. > :16:23.colours into notes. A New World started. Hearing colours changes the

:16:24. > :16:28.way you see everything. I started perceiving colours through sound and

:16:29. > :16:32.the device became a part of my body. Until one day I started hearing

:16:33. > :16:37.colours in my dreams. Then, I understood what being a cyborg

:16:38. > :16:41.meant. It is not the union between the device and my head what converts

:16:42. > :16:48.me into a cyborg but the union between the solve wear and my brain.

:16:49. > :16:56.My body and tech any have united. -- software. The device developed

:16:57. > :17:01.detects a scale of 360. Beautiful landscapes like the sea or nature,

:17:02. > :17:07.they don't sound so good as I expected. I enjoy supermarkets

:17:08. > :17:11.because they sound so colourful, and so stimulating.

:17:12. > :17:15.I enjoy making portraits from hearing the sound of well-known

:17:16. > :17:19.faces, Prince Charles for example, despite what you might think sounds

:17:20. > :17:24.really good. We will see more and more people will start using

:17:25. > :17:28.technology as a part of the body in order to perceive more sense, we

:17:29. > :17:40.will be able to understand better who we are, and in which world we

:17:41. > :17:47.live in. Wow. Neil joins us now. Louis's face, is it nice to hear as

:17:48. > :17:52.Prince Charles? Well, you sound more tonal. It is more different, shades

:17:53. > :18:00.of F sharp. Prince Charles has more like C sharp and F and G. Has more

:18:01. > :18:07.notes. I think my face doesn't sound as good. He is being polite. It is

:18:08. > :18:12.almost like a chord. Yes, each face has different note, the sound of the

:18:13. > :18:17.eyes, the lips, the skin and hair. We all sound duff print. Even twin,

:18:18. > :18:24.our eye, one eye and the other might sound slightly different. Is this,

:18:25. > :18:29.what is that, is that an antenna? That goes inside. Is that

:18:30. > :18:36.permanently attached does it go in your head? Yes, in my skull. If I

:18:37. > :18:46.pulled that, wouldn't it hurt. Don't! Gently. It is like... So

:18:47. > :18:51.this, it is permanent, is it going to be on for the rest of you life?

:18:52. > :18:57.Yes I decided to have a new body part. More people soon will have new

:18:58. > :19:01.body parts that we humans still don't have. I mean this is weird,

:19:02. > :19:06.what happens when that technology progresses, are you going to be

:19:07. > :19:13.stuck in the past? Can you keep, you know? The good thing about having

:19:14. > :19:18.cyborg organs is they will evolve as you get older, you look forward to

:19:19. > :19:25.getting old because your senses and body parts don't degenerate, they

:19:26. > :19:31.get better. What other cyborgs will there be, do you think? We have seen

:19:32. > :19:34.there has been portable technology, there will be wearable technology,

:19:35. > :19:38.people will start using it as part of the body. We will see technology

:19:39. > :19:45.will medium-terming with our body and we, new body part, antenna,

:19:46. > :19:49.tails. What does this sound like? Because it's a colourful studio? It

:19:50. > :19:55.sounds like nightclub, because there is many note, so I feel very

:19:56. > :19:59.stimulating. Do you ever want to turn it off? Would you want to see

:20:00. > :20:03.life in black-and-white? It is the same. To me, colour now is a

:20:04. > :20:07.constant sense and I don't feel I need to turn it off. We could talk

:20:08. > :20:11.about this all night long but we have run out of time. Thank you for

:20:12. > :20:15.coming and showing us this remarkable bit of technology, maybe

:20:16. > :20:20.a glimpse into the future. We are heading into the past for more very

:20:21. > :20:25.strange goings on. . We are indeed. I have got my own props with me.

:20:26. > :20:31.Here we go. Just about to have a film about a mystery. That is a

:20:32. > :20:38.difficult one to work out, isn't it Louis? Here is a riddle for you.

:20:39. > :20:46.What did Sherlock say to his sidekick when he had indigestion? I

:20:47. > :20:51.have no idea. Almen trimy dear Watson.

:20:52. > :20:55.Arthur's Seat. The ancient hill which overlooks Edinburgh has long

:20:56. > :21:01.been a place of mystery and legend. It was a fitting location for a

:21:02. > :21:08.discovery in 1836, which fascinated Edinburgh society. It has baffled

:21:09. > :21:12.historians ever since. It was 17 macabre dolls in tiny coffins found

:21:13. > :21:19.hidden in a cave. They are on display at the National Museum of

:21:20. > :21:23.Scotland. Eerie, aren't they? They were found in June, 1836, in the

:21:24. > :21:28.North East slopes of Arthur's Seat by some school-children, out

:21:29. > :21:31.supposedly rabbiting, there are just eight left but there were originally

:21:32. > :21:38.17. The other nine have disappeared in the mist of time. What exactly --

:21:39. > :21:44.exact I are they? It is possible they were were hand made soldier,

:21:45. > :21:49.wooden soldiers, they are meant to represent burials, because they are

:21:50. > :21:54.individual figures, some of them with the remaining grave clothes on,

:21:55. > :21:58.set into individual coffins. There have been various theories on what

:21:59. > :22:03.they might represent. It has been speculated they are symbolic

:22:04. > :22:08.effigies of sailors lost at sea and the original suggestions linked them

:22:09. > :22:12.to witchcraft. That doesn't hold much water. In witchcraft they

:22:13. > :22:18.tended to be destroyed or pins put in them to effect some effect on the

:22:19. > :22:24.individual. These are well cared for. They are meant to be, trying to

:22:25. > :22:28.look after someone. But a theory propose links Edinburgh's most

:22:29. > :22:33.chilling story to the coffins. This is a beautiful city, but beneath the

:22:34. > :22:37.streets is the hidden world. These are the Edinburgh vault, a series of

:22:38. > :22:42.Chambers formed in the arches of a bridge. In the early 19th century

:22:43. > :22:49.there are a ven, shops, all sorts of businesses town here. -- taverns.

:22:50. > :22:55.These dark and dinghy spaces, lent themselves to more murky activities,

:22:56. > :22:58.perhaps including those of Burke and Hare. The notorious Edinburgh

:22:59. > :23:05.murderers. And there is a fascinating theory

:23:06. > :23:11.that the mysterious dolls are linked to Burke and Hare. Alan Simpson is a

:23:12. > :23:18.former curator at the museum. Who were they? They became notorious in

:23:19. > :23:24.the late 1820, they hit on the idea of killing people, and supplying the

:23:25. > :23:29.bodies to the Edinburgh aNat mists. They killed in total 16 people,

:23:30. > :23:34.their killing spree started by finding a body, and supplying it

:23:35. > :23:39.first. The money was good, so they carried on. A colleague of mine, an

:23:40. > :23:46.American Professor hit on the idea that these 17 little coffins

:23:47. > :23:50.represented the 17 bodies supplied by Burke and Hare. Researches

:23:51. > :23:55.analysed the thread used to Seo the clothes on to the dolls. -- sew the

:23:56. > :24:00.clothes on the dolls. It revealed they were hidden at the

:24:01. > :24:05.same time. One of the threads used was a three ply twine, which was

:24:06. > :24:10.only introduced first in about 1830. If you accept the idea that these

:24:11. > :24:14.are symbolic burial, we are looking for an occasion when there were 17

:24:15. > :24:18.victims. And Burke and Hare supplied 17

:24:19. > :24:25.bodies, to be dissected during lectures. People who made these

:24:26. > :24:30.little coffins were trying to provide a sort of decent burial.

:24:31. > :24:35.That would allow their souls to rest in peace. It is a theory we can

:24:36. > :24:39.never be sure, but it is now the one thought most likely to explain why

:24:40. > :24:44.these strange dolls were hidden in a cave on Arthur's Seat.

:24:45. > :24:51.The very act of burying the dolls must have meant something to

:24:52. > :24:56.somebody. Fascinating to imagine someone beavering away, creating

:24:57. > :25:06.those little dolls, preparing them for a decent burial, that Burke and

:25:07. > :25:12.Hare has denied their victims. Now, if we go to Alex briefly, she

:25:13. > :25:18.is going up that rock face like a young gazelle. She is. She is just

:25:19. > :25:22.in that group. Go the other way. Go the other way. It a good job they

:25:23. > :25:29.didn't fall off. Shall we find out what the plan of action was for

:25:30. > :25:35.today? Let me introduce you to the man who is hopefully going to help

:25:36. > :25:40.me get to the top. Andy Kirkpatrick. Feeling nervous this morning. I am

:25:41. > :25:45.fineful I am fine. How are you? A bit nervous. Talk me through how the

:25:46. > :25:50.next two-and-a-half days is going to run We will go across the river,

:25:51. > :25:56.that is ice cold and then we will get to the two white dots and free

:25:57. > :26:01.climb a third of the way up the pillar, so 150 metres, until there

:26:02. > :26:07.is a small knob of rock, a safety guy is checking that out. We will

:26:08. > :26:14.spend the night in a port Helen. We have had experience putting this up.

:26:15. > :26:18.It is like assembling it while hanging out your window. You did

:26:19. > :26:22.fairly well. That is when you were not tired, so it will be different
