:00:15. > :00:17.Hello and welcome to The One Show with Matt Baker
:00:18. > :00:20.Tonight we help raise the curtain on the BBC's Shakespeare
:00:21. > :00:28.But, soft! What light through yonder window breaks?
:00:29. > :00:36.Matthew, I shall bring you the search for the fairest
:00:37. > :00:39.Bottoms in all the land, and how to change these tiny sprites
:00:40. > :00:44.into most wondrous Shakespearean prose.
:00:45. > :00:46.Shall we hear more, or shall we move on from this?
:00:47. > :00:57.Our guest tonight is a stand-up whose latest show hopefully
:00:58. > :01:01.isn't a comedy of errors, it's Marcus Brigstocke!
:01:02. > :01:16.You are getting in on the act. Welcome. He went to drama school.
:01:17. > :01:22.Did you do any Shakespeare? I played Macbeth.
:01:23. > :01:31.The whole thing? I did the whole thing. We did not do the other one,
:01:32. > :01:36.it may have been abandoned, but not my forte. We heard used to go to
:01:37. > :01:45.drama school in a suit, is that true? -- fault. When I first went to
:01:46. > :01:52.Bristol University I wore a green checked suit with a gold waistcoat.
:01:53. > :01:56.White collar shirt. Folded cuffs. On day one, I walked up to somebody, I
:01:57. > :02:10.asked the weight of the... And he went, "Drama department? " Yes, I
:02:11. > :02:15.wore that. -- I asked the way to the.
:02:16. > :02:23.CHUCKLES Our first film tonight
:02:24. > :02:26.is about a subject that I know Alex Whilst I know Matt will think it's
:02:27. > :02:38.of no importance whatsoever. A staggering 93% of us on a mobile
:02:39. > :02:43.phone. And failing to get a signal can be a real headache. You might
:02:44. > :02:46.expect problems in the middle of nowhere, but surely not here in the
:02:47. > :02:51.heart of the big city like Liverpool? What sort of places you
:02:52. > :02:59.find the signal drops out? Inside shops. Shopping centres. Cannot go
:03:00. > :03:05.on any of the apps, receive text messages, whatever. In this day and
:03:06. > :03:12.age it is surprising, isn't it? It is when you pay so much. You cannot
:03:13. > :03:16.even get a proper signal. When Ofcom tested coverage in five cities,
:03:17. > :03:23.including Liverpool, it found call is connected and website downloaded
:03:24. > :03:30.up to 98% of the time. But it seems pesky urban blackspots are a
:03:31. > :03:34.problem. A survey of 2000 mobile phone users found 40% of them
:03:35. > :03:40.struggled with blackspots in cities. Liverpool had the most complaints.
:03:41. > :03:45.Paul Carter runs the wireless company that carried out the survey.
:03:46. > :03:49.Today he and his team are testing the service provided in Liverpool by
:03:50. > :04:02.the Duke of's big four operators, and they are using some pretty nifty
:04:03. > :04:07.kit. -- by the UK's big four. We are dating the data packages, access to
:04:08. > :04:11.the Internet. Controlled by this tablet so we can see how many are
:04:12. > :04:15.successful, how many failed, how many dropped, and so on. After 60%
:04:16. > :04:20.of the time they found they were in areas of poor or no coverage. And
:04:21. > :04:25.the worst blackspots were found at some of Liverpool's main train
:04:26. > :04:29.stations, its most popular tourist spots, and inside some of its
:04:30. > :04:36.shopping centres. The signal level has got it to. The last test we just
:04:37. > :04:43.did was very poor coverage, because it wasn't able to set up the call.
:04:44. > :04:48.-- the signal level has completely gone. He would not expect that in a
:04:49. > :04:52.city centre? You are relying on a transmitter from a rooftop around
:04:53. > :04:59.here. It is probable just the location here in a dead zone. The
:05:00. > :05:02.furthest away from any sites. There are three Wi-Fi spots in the city.
:05:03. > :05:06.But that means the hassle of looking on. Why can't we have consistent
:05:07. > :05:18.mobile phone coverage? We invited all of the major players O2, three,
:05:19. > :05:22.Vodafone, and EE to comment, but they did not take us up on the
:05:23. > :05:27.offer. They say they are investing billions to improve the network and
:05:28. > :05:31.services. They all agree on what is needed, more city centre phone masts
:05:32. > :05:34.to improve coverage. That is where they want more help from the
:05:35. > :05:40.government. The operators claim their plans are often blocked by red
:05:41. > :05:43.tape and high land rents. But the government's track record is not
:05:44. > :05:49.great. Five years ago they trumpeted plans to boost network coverage in
:05:50. > :05:53.real areas, but Minister for the Digital economy, Ed Vaizey, has had
:05:54. > :05:57.to met that did not deliver. You have had one bite of the cherry with
:05:58. > :06:02.the ?150 million project. Why will it be different in the future? It is
:06:03. > :06:05.important government admits when things have not gone as well as they
:06:06. > :06:09.might have done. We found difficulties in planning permission.
:06:10. > :06:14.Some communities did not want the masts. We learned from that project.
:06:15. > :06:19.We will see improved mobile coverage over the next two years. Are you
:06:20. > :06:23.surprised there are still blackspots in major cities like Liverpool? I
:06:24. > :06:27.think we have good coverage in our cities. But we can and must do more.
:06:28. > :06:30.That is why we want to make government buildings available so
:06:31. > :06:35.mobile operators can put their masts on cheaply to increase coverage. You
:06:36. > :06:38.are the man people need to contact quite readily. Do you find you
:06:39. > :06:44.sometimes don't have any mobile phone signal? On the way to this
:06:45. > :06:48.interview I dropped a phone call. The mobile operators have promised
:06:49. > :06:51.to halve the number of blackspots within a year, so we will be giving
:06:52. > :06:54.them a call to see if they delivered.
:06:55. > :07:03.We know this is a sore point for you. It drives me mad. I live near
:07:04. > :07:06.Clapham Junction. I think it is still one of the biggest rail
:07:07. > :07:13.intersections in Europe. Cannot get a signal. Mostly it is people
:07:14. > :07:18.lobbying against it saying Joshua's asthma got worse when we switched to
:07:19. > :07:23.O2. Nonsense. CHUCKLES
:07:24. > :07:26.Even on the train. They say there is Wi-Fi on the train, but it is
:07:27. > :07:32.basically information about your delay. I got back from Vietnam, I
:07:33. > :07:38.wrote 500 kilometres on a motorbike through the central islands,
:07:39. > :07:40.coverage everywhere. Because there is the willingness. In fairness they
:07:41. > :07:44.have a common this government so they can do what they want, more or
:07:45. > :07:50.less. Ours has to consult people on some stuff. You don't care, do you?
:07:51. > :08:00.It means peace and quiet to me am honestly. You are one of them. Let's
:08:01. > :08:06.not even go there. It is too long. The last time we saw you were
:08:07. > :08:09.preparing for Edinburgh. Yes. I came onto the show to plug a show I had
:08:10. > :08:15.not written. That is exactly what happened. I got away with it. I went
:08:16. > :08:19.to Edinburgh and by then it was about that, because I did write it,
:08:20. > :08:27.and it was successful. It really was. I do lots of topical stuff. I
:08:28. > :08:33.don't know if you have noticed, but there is this referendum thing... It
:08:34. > :08:36.has been in some of the newspapers. CHUCKLES
:08:37. > :08:41.And there is this guy in America who is really excited. He has blonde
:08:42. > :08:45.hair. An angry faced Boris Johnson type figure. But with a handgun.
:08:46. > :08:51.Always lots of topical stuff in my shows. I did why the long face? In
:08:52. > :08:57.Edinburgh. I had a great time. Audiences loved it. A short run in
:08:58. > :09:07.Edinburgh, then a national tour in the autumn. You told us why it is
:09:08. > :09:15.called Why The Long Face? It is because you look like Beaker. It
:09:16. > :09:19.isn't 1 million miles apart. Adam Bloom, brilliant comedic you must
:09:20. > :09:23.see him, he told me I had a good head for comedy. I thought you meant
:09:24. > :09:28.intellectually. He said it is really funny, long, thin, you look like
:09:29. > :09:35.Beaker. I have a slightly elongated face. But, also, I am a straight,
:09:36. > :09:42.white man. Mostly straight, I like musical theatre. The world is setup
:09:43. > :09:45.for me. Everything is easy. I am a homeowner in London. I spend my time
:09:46. > :09:52.moaning about mobile phone coverage, people who say things like PIN
:09:53. > :09:55.number, when it is pin. If you say PIN number, you are saying personal
:09:56. > :10:01.identification number number. So there is something wrong with you.
:10:02. > :10:04.Some people say personal PIN number. That is personal personal
:10:05. > :10:06.identification number number. It is too much.
:10:07. > :10:13.CHUCKLES The show is about a gratitude check.
:10:14. > :10:18.My life is charmed. I am so lucky. I have two beautiful, happy, healthy
:10:19. > :10:25.children. I have cheese, vinyl, my favourite things. I have. My life is
:10:26. > :10:30.easy compared to the vast majority of people. Yet I complain all the
:10:31. > :10:40.time. The show is a reality check. Then asking, why is it that we are
:10:41. > :10:45.not often happier than we -- than when we are. It is the trivial like
:10:46. > :10:52.PIN number, which genuinely annoys me. All the way up to the macro
:10:53. > :10:55.stuff when the government introduces legislation which I find upsetting
:10:56. > :11:02.like the disability cuts. How can that be! That makes me feel justly
:11:03. > :11:07.angry. The show is looking at all of those things that wind you up, then
:11:08. > :11:12.talking about lots of things which do exist which we should be grateful
:11:13. > :11:16.of. And there are other things which I would talk about, but I can't,
:11:17. > :11:21.because of the time of this programme. I have done it. It is as
:11:22. > :11:26.shocking for me as it is for the audience.
:11:27. > :11:29."Why the Long Face?" is on at the Soho Theatre in London
:11:30. > :11:32.starting next Monday and then tours the country later this year.
:11:33. > :11:34.400 years after his death, there are still many mysteries
:11:35. > :11:38.Answers may lie in Will's will, which suggests today he'd probably
:11:39. > :11:40.be a buy-to-let landlord equally at home in Shakespeare's Globe
:11:41. > :12:00.In the absence of hard facts about Shakespeare's life, films like the
:12:01. > :12:04.1998 romantic comedy Shakespeare In Love present a classic rags to
:12:05. > :12:11.riches tale. I have wonderful news. So do I. I am good. But that
:12:12. > :12:15.dramatic portrayal may not be accurate. Rather than some poverty
:12:16. > :12:18.stricken young bumpkin, it seems William Shakespeare may well have
:12:19. > :12:23.been seriously wealthy long before he first put pen to paper. One of
:12:24. > :12:29.the few documents we have which tells us something certain about his
:12:30. > :12:31.life is his will. To mark the 400th anniversary of his death,
:12:32. > :12:41.Shakespeare's will is on show at Kings College London. And this is
:12:42. > :12:45.it. The last will and testament of William Shakespeare. This document
:12:46. > :12:48.was first drafted in January 1616, but it was not signed until two
:12:49. > :12:53.months later. It is only three pages long. But you can see it is covered
:12:54. > :13:04.in addition and crossings out because he kept changing his mind
:13:05. > :13:10.and making amendments. -- additions. This is the mark, the hand, the
:13:11. > :13:15.writing of William Shakespeare. The will confirmed that in cash and on
:13:16. > :13:20.he left around ?350 to friends and family. That is around half ?1
:13:21. > :13:27.million today. For a playwright, even one of his standing, that was
:13:28. > :13:33.serious money. -- around half a million. One expert's radical view
:13:34. > :13:35.is that he could have been worth millions in today's money. David
:13:36. > :13:39.Fallow is a trained lawyer and banker who spent the last 15 years
:13:40. > :13:45.studying hundreds of documents about Shakespeare's finances. He was an
:13:46. > :13:50.actor. Played on the stage. He obviously wrote plays. At the rate
:13:51. > :13:53.of around two per year. He has multiple sources of this revenue
:13:54. > :14:02.coming to him. When you add all of those up, what you come up with is a
:14:03. > :14:07.figure of around ?60 per year. That is a in today's money. Rich, but not
:14:08. > :14:10.super rich but the figures show he spent much more than that investing
:14:11. > :14:23.in his own theatre company, for example. -- that is about ?100,000
:14:24. > :14:26.in today's money. Two years later he buys his rather palatial house in
:14:27. > :14:31.Stratford. Today, a ten bedroom house in Stratford would set you
:14:32. > :14:34.back more than ?2 million. David believes Shakespeare was in fact
:14:35. > :14:40.wealthy before he started writing his place. It is coming from the
:14:41. > :14:45.family business. Accumulated family wealth. As a former financial
:14:46. > :14:48.trader, if you saw this, and you saw these expenditures, what would you
:14:49. > :14:52.start to think us to mark I would think this was an astute,
:14:53. > :14:59.sophisticated businessman. -- what would you start to think? He ensured
:15:00. > :15:04.that his daughter Judith was taking care of in his will. Despite the
:15:05. > :15:10.fact she was about to marry a scoundrel. He is eight have an
:15:11. > :15:18.owner. He deals in tobacco. He has got a woman with child. -- he is a
:15:19. > :15:21.tavern owner. The woman died in childbirth. But he is the father and
:15:22. > :15:27.he confesses this. Everything a woman owned became her husband's
:15:28. > :15:30.property in those days, so he amended his will twice to make sure
:15:31. > :15:37.it was watertight Judith and that no money would ever reach him. It shows
:15:38. > :15:43.a man who is cold, detached from his family... If he was cold and
:15:44. > :15:47.detached from his family, he would have put a line through anything to
:15:48. > :15:52.do with Judith. The only mention of his wife is his bequest of his
:15:53. > :16:01.second-best bed. But David does not see this as an insult. The best one
:16:02. > :16:05.would have been for guests. So it would have been the marital bed, and
:16:06. > :16:09.the one he dies in? Probably. There is a real deal of sentimentality
:16:10. > :16:16.about it. His will gives us a glamour and -- his will gives us a
:16:17. > :16:20.rare glimpse into his character. He actually ended up the most famous
:16:21. > :16:24.playwright the world has ever seen, not just an astute businessman.
:16:25. > :16:32.And you can find out more about researching all sorts of wills
:16:33. > :16:40.There is also its coming up for you in Shakespeare's big 400 so we are
:16:41. > :16:45.going to hand over to Lucy Siegle. What can people expect out there?
:16:46. > :16:50.This weekend surrounding Shakespeare's Globe Theatre along
:16:51. > :16:56.the Thames are screenings for each of his plays. They will feature big
:16:57. > :17:01.names like Happy Valley's James Norton as Richard III in Westminster
:17:02. > :17:10.Hall, Jimmy Artut and as Love's Labour's Lost, and Dominic West as
:17:11. > :17:12.Coriolanus shot in Rome. On Saturday his birthplace of
:17:13. > :17:14.Stratford-upon-Avon there will be the biggest ever Shakespeare
:17:15. > :17:18.Birthday Parade. Thousands will gather to celebrate his life and if
:17:19. > :17:25.you turn up your get a free Shakespeare mask like this one. And
:17:26. > :17:31.some rosemary because of Ophelia in Hamlet said that's for remembrance.
:17:32. > :17:34.And right now the Royal Shakespeare Company are on tour around the
:17:35. > :17:38.country after a search for Britain's Best Bottoms.
:17:39. > :17:45.RSC actors will tread the boards with specially selected local
:17:46. > :17:51.amateur dramatic Society is in a Midsummer Night's Dream. On country
:17:52. > :17:54.file we are doing a Shakespeare's personal on Sunday evening but what
:17:55. > :17:58.else is on offer for people who want to watch Shakespeare on television
:17:59. > :18:04.and have a night in? Great Shakespeare coming up on television
:18:05. > :18:08.starting Saturday at 8:30pm with Shakespeare Live with David Tennant
:18:09. > :18:11.presenting a night of live Shakespeare and music, including
:18:12. > :18:15.appearances by Sir Ian McKellan and Dame Judi Dench.
:18:16. > :18:18.Later this year we will see a lavish new version of a Midsummer Night's
:18:19. > :18:24.Dream starring Matt Lucas, and Dame Judi Dench meat is alongside
:18:25. > :18:27.Benedict Cumberbatch as Richard III in The Hollow Crown: The Wars of the
:18:28. > :18:36.Roses based around Shakespeare's history plays. Like one that stands
:18:37. > :18:39.on a promontory and spies are far offshore, so do I wish for the
:18:40. > :19:05.Crown. What discord follows. That looks good, but what about the
:19:06. > :19:07.youngsters? I have a handy emojis to Shakespeare translator.
:19:08. > :19:10.You go to the website and choose the emojis that best
:19:11. > :19:16.You get the perfect Shakespeare passage back.
:19:17. > :19:19.confusion, humiliation and fear, and you get the perfect
:19:20. > :19:21.Shakespeare passage back - for me it's
:19:22. > :19:24.Like a dull actor now, I have forgot my part, and I am out.
:19:25. > :19:35.Can I come down now please? APPLAUSE
:19:36. > :19:42.Well done, Lucy. Thank you. Brilliant. That was good. We all
:19:43. > :19:48.know the type, don't we? Vinyl true believers who insist record sound
:19:49. > :19:52.better than CDs or downloads. Marcus mentioned vinyl already this evening
:19:53. > :19:53.but can vinyl fans tell the difference or is it all just a bit
:19:54. > :20:01.of spin? Vinyl is back. Well, actually it's
:20:02. > :20:06.never really gone away but the resurgent in popularity of the
:20:07. > :20:13.analogue medium has seen record sales in the UK soared to a 21 year
:20:14. > :20:17.high. It's not just classic albums and artists driving this but current
:20:18. > :20:22.stars such as Taylor Swift and Adel bringing the old school format to a
:20:23. > :20:26.host of new fans. I've come to the home of vinyl in London's Berwick
:20:27. > :20:31.Street on record store data where a new competition is being launched to
:20:32. > :20:37.celebrate this revival. He has seen the fall of vinyl since the 1980s
:20:38. > :20:42.and the rise. We never stopped selling vinyl, 2007, 70 5000 new
:20:43. > :20:48.albums were sold in the UK, vinyl records, last year in the UK, 2.2
:20:49. > :20:53.million. Would either that down to? Days like this, record store Day,
:20:54. > :20:55.people who bought CDs and MP3s and streaming stuff but at the end of
:20:56. > :21:04.the day the vinyl format is the classic format. Put me through the
:21:05. > :21:07.competition? Berwick Street calling is looking for good new artists to
:21:08. > :21:11.come to us and we will pick the best one and they will get their record
:21:12. > :21:17.made. Vinyl enthusiast and bass player from Primal Scream is one of
:21:18. > :21:20.the judges for the competition. If new artists are recording digitally,
:21:21. > :21:25.what is the advantage of putting that on vinyl? Even if an artist
:21:26. > :21:28.recordist everything digitally and releases it on vinyl, what you hear
:21:29. > :21:32.when you put something on a turntable, you are going to get
:21:33. > :21:37.overtones and frequencies you might not even get on a CD or an MP3. We
:21:38. > :21:40.don't want music to become this sort of invisible transaction back
:21:41. > :21:44.happens in the ether. Every thing being downloaded and digital, people
:21:45. > :21:48.want to come back to it. With hundreds of record collectors here
:21:49. > :21:54.today I want to find out if they can really tell the difference between
:21:55. > :21:58.digital audio and old school vinyl. We will play you a song on MP3 and
:21:59. > :22:04.vinyl. To keep them on their toes we have mixed up the order. I would say
:22:05. > :22:10.the second one is vinyl. And you are correct. I would say the first one
:22:11. > :22:14.is vinyl. The first one is vinyl, you are absolutely right. I think
:22:15. > :22:20.the first one is vinyl. It was the second one. The first one was
:22:21. > :22:24.flatter, the second one had a lot more sort of space around it. The
:22:25. > :22:30.digital is Chris Burke, but it doesn't necessarily take it more
:22:31. > :22:34.enjoyable. -- Chris Burke. I'd say the first one was vinyl. It was
:22:35. > :22:39.actually the second one. I'm going to go for the first. You are right
:22:40. > :22:42.when you say the first. People so vinyl is better but as long it is
:22:43. > :22:49.recorded mostly it doesn't matter. I would say the second one. Correct.
:22:50. > :22:54.Vinyl was the first one. But is absolutely right. You couldn't hear
:22:55. > :22:59.any rumble, clicks and pops and that is why. How do most of your friends
:23:00. > :23:03.listen to music? Most of them by MP3 but they also think it is quite cool
:23:04. > :23:08.to have some vinyl. Most of the music aficionados could tell the
:23:09. > :23:11.difference between vinyl and digital, but will records ever
:23:12. > :23:14.recapture their previous mass appeal, or will they simply remain
:23:15. > :23:24.an indulgence for music connoisseurs? You passed the test
:23:25. > :23:29.with flying colours and you are a vinyl true believer. Yes, I came
:23:30. > :23:31.back after leaving my kids with the baby-sitter and found a Jimi Hendrix
:23:32. > :23:35.record on the record player and thought it was a bit cheeky of the
:23:36. > :23:38.baby-sitter to play that and the following morning at breakfast my
:23:39. > :23:43.daughter said, I hope you don't mind, the baby-sitter had never
:23:44. > :23:49.heard any Jimi Hendrix so I put on some. She was nine Ex Machina
:23:50. > :23:56.LAUGHTER -- she was nine!. One of the things
:23:57. > :24:05.we miss about vinyl is the artwork. We have some brilliant ideas here.
:24:06. > :24:14.We have this original artwork for take that. That is pretty good. I
:24:15. > :24:15.like that. This is obviously Adele, 21. And this is Sarah Cook in
:24:16. > :24:20.heaven! I would buy that record! Mike and Miranda have brought
:24:21. > :24:22.us many animal tales, but there's one that stands out,
:24:23. > :24:35.because it's taken Back in 2008 the Scottish Government
:24:36. > :24:40.gave the go-ahead for a huge natural experiment. A trial to bring back
:24:41. > :24:46.one of the animals that lived in the Caledonian Forest long ago. The
:24:47. > :24:50.Beaver. It was an idea that took 20 years in the making, almost 50
:24:51. > :24:57.square kilometres of land and the cooperation of 16 Norwegian beavers.
:24:58. > :25:01.I came here in 2009 just a few months after the beavers were first
:25:02. > :25:06.released and The One Show has been following the story ever since. On
:25:07. > :25:10.my first visit I went kayaking with Philippa revel who was monitoring
:25:11. > :25:14.the beavers. They are crepuscular animals meaning they are most active
:25:15. > :25:21.at dawn and dusk, that we were lucky enough to see one in broad daylight.
:25:22. > :25:27.Look at that Beaver. They are massive in the water as well. In
:25:28. > :25:32.2010 we reported on the first babies that were born to the Scottish trial
:25:33. > :25:36.beavers. A few years later Miranda went on a night-time paddle and
:25:37. > :25:40.discovered that at least one of the original Scottish trial beavers, and
:25:41. > :25:51.male called Frank, was still going strong. There he is moving in the
:25:52. > :25:55.water. Wow. Towards the end of 2015 I discovered that the beavers are
:25:56. > :25:58.still thriving when I met up with Ollie Hemmings of the Scottish
:25:59. > :26:03.wildlife trust. We started with four family groups
:26:04. > :26:06.in 2009 and obviously we've had so many deaths, so many births and so
:26:07. > :26:10.many dispersals throughout the trial period and we have about the same
:26:11. > :26:15.number of beavers we started with. Have you seen the beavers recently?
:26:16. > :26:18.Yes I have we see them quite often and there is a loft over there where
:26:19. > :26:23.I have had recent camera footage of a beaver family. Hurt shots of the
:26:24. > :26:28.Beaver kits indicate the population here is a healthy one and her camera
:26:29. > :26:35.traps have captured footage of the adults hard at work. They felled
:26:36. > :26:42.trees with extraordinarily strong teeth for food and flooding
:26:43. > :26:45.surrounding areas, allowing them to access more food while hiding from
:26:46. > :26:49.predators. These changes can significantly impact the plants and
:26:50. > :26:54.animals that share the wet woodlands and it's those effects that have
:26:55. > :26:57.been monitored so closely during this trial. Karen Taylor is from
:26:58. > :27:00.Scottish natural Heritage. What the beavers have done when they
:27:01. > :27:04.have come in is they have felled some areas and that has opened up
:27:05. > :27:09.the canopy and let light into the canopy floor and a new generation of
:27:10. > :27:13.ground-floor and seeds dormant in the soil, and these patches and
:27:14. > :27:17.different niche is that I really important for all of the other
:27:18. > :27:21.things that rely on the woodlands, this habitat patchiness beavers have
:27:22. > :27:25.created is really key. Flooding might be good for biodiversity but
:27:26. > :27:31.many see it as a serious potential downside of a wider release. In
:27:32. > :27:37.March 2015 The One Show spoke to a farmer with concerns about flood
:27:38. > :27:41.damaged to his land. Adriane farms in Tayside, which is outside of the
:27:42. > :27:46.Beaver trial area but home to a small number of beavers that are
:27:47. > :27:50.thought to have escaped from private collections. We have cleared out
:27:51. > :27:54.seven or eight dams here and if we left it these fields would become
:27:55. > :27:58.unproductive and we couldn't use them because they would just be
:27:59. > :28:01.bogs. That's thousands of pounds worth of damage. The Scottish Beaver
:28:02. > :28:07.trial has been every comprehensive study that looked in real detail at
:28:08. > :28:10.all of the impacts of the reintroduction of this animal. There
:28:11. > :28:15.are many people with an interest in the outcome of this trial. From
:28:16. > :28:19.those who value the Beaver's contribution to biodiversity and see
:28:20. > :28:22.them as a natural part of the landscape, to others with very real
:28:23. > :28:26.concerns about the impact on their livelihoods. That's why the decision
:28:27. > :28:28.for the Scottish Government about the future of beavers in Scotland
:28:29. > :28:30.has been so eagerly awaited. Mike Dilger then exited,
:28:31. > :28:34.pursued by a bear. You must mean Beaver. No, it is a
:28:35. > :28:48.bear. Shakespeare. Thanks to Marcus, you can see him
:28:49. > :28:50.in Why The Long Face at the Soho Theatre in London
:28:51. > :28:55.from next Monday. We will have to wait for a decision
:28:56. > :28:57.from the Scottish Government later in the year.
:28:58. > :28:58.Tomorrow, Game of Thrones star Natalie Dormer
:28:59. > :29:01.and the Fast Show's Charlie Higson will be here.
