:00:24. > :00:33.Show with Alex Jones. And Matt Baker. Let us cross live to one of
:00:34. > :00:38.the BBC's best loved BJ -- DJs. We do not mean the British Broadcasting
:00:39. > :00:48.Corporation, we mean the Brixton Broadcasting Corporation. Who is
:00:49. > :00:55.calling? What sort of guy are you looking for? What are you doing
:00:56. > :00:59.tomorrow night? I am not at liberty to discuss that. I could be
:01:00. > :01:07.prosecuted under the crucial secrets act. Double Wilkins must remain on
:01:08. > :01:18.the shelf and stay on his sleeve. Please welcome Lenny Henry! Lovely
:01:19. > :01:27.to see that. 27 years ago. Really? One of the first black broadcasters
:01:28. > :01:31.on the BBC. That is right! You have been campaigning and things are
:01:32. > :01:34.taking a turn in the right direction. Since we began the
:01:35. > :01:41.campaign on it has been going on for a while now, there has been slow
:01:42. > :01:47.movement and it can only get better. I really chuffed with the recent
:01:48. > :01:51.announcements. Sky have said... Also the BBC have announced stuff as
:01:52. > :01:59.well. And mentoring. There is more to come. It is exciting. Back in the
:02:00. > :02:05.day, the only people of colour at the BBC worthy people on the door
:02:06. > :02:13.and in the canteen. Have an extra dumpling! It can only be for the
:02:14. > :02:20.better. We will be talking to Lenny about his new stage play later. And
:02:21. > :02:27.you will be helping us to smash some cameras with Dom Are you up for
:02:28. > :02:37.this? I am very up for this! Are there any paparazzi involved? In a
:02:38. > :02:49.moment, we will introduce Lenny to Iggy the big yuan. What? -- the
:02:50. > :02:52.iguana. He is very friendly! Miranda is revealing why one species of
:02:53. > :02:59.iguana became the target for smuggling.
:03:00. > :03:03.This is the remote island of San Salvador and it is home to one of
:03:04. > :03:10.the world's rarest reptiles, the San Salvador rock iguana. With maybe a
:03:11. > :03:13.couple of hundred left in the wild, their removal from the natural
:03:14. > :03:17.environment is forbidden by international law. But it does not
:03:18. > :03:23.stop an illegal pet trade. On the black market, they can fetch up to
:03:24. > :03:29.?20,000. In February, there was an audacious attempt to smuggle 13 into
:03:30. > :03:33.Britain. Two females were travelling back from the Bahamas. They made the
:03:34. > :03:37.decision to go through the green channel, nothing to declare, and
:03:38. > :03:42.they were intercepted. There was a full examination of their luggage.
:03:43. > :03:48.One of the suitcases, opened it up, there was a towel and when he pulled
:03:49. > :03:52.back the towel, he saw large lizards that had been smuggled inside
:03:53. > :04:00.socks. He shut the soup is up. I was on duty. I received the call -- the
:04:01. > :04:04.suitcase up. We sent officers attend. When you arrived, where
:04:05. > :04:11.there is still in the suitcase? They had put them in containers to make
:04:12. > :04:14.sure the animals were alive. One had died unfortunately but the rest were
:04:15. > :04:19.OK. They told us they were San Salvador Rock iguanas, critically
:04:20. > :04:23.Endangered Species Act I have been doing this for 20 years and it is
:04:24. > :04:30.probably the most significant case I have been involved with. Compare it
:04:31. > :04:36.against the giant panda, 1500, you can see how significant it was. The
:04:37. > :04:39.illicit luggage was destined for Germany where they were going to
:04:40. > :04:43.meet a Swiss contact who they said had financed the trip. For the cost
:04:44. > :04:48.of a free holiday, they were smuggling a cargo with a potential
:04:49. > :04:55.value of more than ?250,000. At Crown Court, the two women both
:04:56. > :04:59.pleaded guilty to illegal importation and on Thursday the 3rd
:05:00. > :05:03.of April they were sentenced to 12 months in prison age which they are
:05:04. > :05:08.currently serving. Sentencing the women, the judge said, there is a
:05:09. > :05:12.market for such creatures and for as long as people such as yourselves
:05:13. > :05:17.perpetrate the facility for them to be smuggled out of the Bahamas, the
:05:18. > :05:20.trade will continue. Since the seizure in February, the iguanas
:05:21. > :05:26.have been looked after ran the clock by the specialist team at the animal
:05:27. > :05:31.reception centre at Heathrow. They were in socks. As you can imagine, I
:05:32. > :05:39.worry was low would be dehydrated I would have injuries from packing. --
:05:40. > :05:43.our worry was they would be dehydrated. How have you been
:05:44. > :05:50.looking after them? They have a will range of food, there is usually
:05:51. > :05:56.lighting and all of the specialist things reptiles need. So important
:05:57. > :05:59.are the iguanas that the High Commissioner has been sent to
:06:00. > :06:03.Heathrow to observe as the animal reception centre team prepare for
:06:04. > :06:07.their safe return to the Bahamas. The people of the Bahamas are very
:06:08. > :06:14.pleased the iguanas are being returned to them. I have never seen
:06:15. > :06:17.such cooperation. I am told by the UK authorities this is only the
:06:18. > :06:21.second time animals have been repatriated from London back to the
:06:22. > :06:27.original country. How important is it that they return? If you take
:06:28. > :06:31.anything out of paradise, we want it back. One of the Bahamas died when
:06:32. > :06:36.they were smuggled and the animal reception centre wants to minimise
:06:37. > :06:41.the risk that the stress of the journey might kill anymore. They
:06:42. > :06:46.were going to individual pillowcases with shredded paper and then into a
:06:47. > :06:50.compartment within an insulated box with her holes that is labelled so
:06:51. > :06:54.it is handled properly and is not upside down. Transporting them is a
:06:55. > :06:59.risk so we are taking every precaution. It is now 6am and the
:07:00. > :07:05.iguanas on their way to a flight bound for nipple, is -- bound for
:07:06. > :07:13.the Bahamas. The nine-hour flight will be a nervous flight for us all.
:07:14. > :07:19.Whatever happens, I will be staying with them every step of the way.
:07:20. > :07:25.You can find out what happened to the rescued iguanas tomorrow.
:07:26. > :07:30.Iggy is definitely not a San Salvador rock iguana. Beauty! He is
:07:31. > :07:34.joined by his owner, reptile expert Mark Amey. Lovely to see you.
:07:35. > :07:42.Introduce us to the rest of the gang. Is that a bearded dragon? Rain
:07:43. > :07:49.this is a green iguana, that is a bearded dragon. In your hands is a
:07:50. > :07:57.leopard gecko. Absolutely beautiful. You are right, Lenny? I am fine! I
:07:58. > :08:02.went to a party at Cliff Richard's hands where this happened. I am not
:08:03. > :08:09.allowed to say that! A lot of people would like it as a pet. If there is
:08:10. > :08:18.a family who are at work all day, would a bearded dragon be suitable?
:08:19. > :08:25.Lenny cannot control himself. Why did I say that? That is a good
:08:26. > :08:33.question. I can only apologise. Something that is moral nocturnal
:08:34. > :08:38.would be more suitable. The leopard one would be ideal. The bearded
:08:39. > :08:43.Dragon would be a better option. Loads of rescued creatures around.
:08:44. > :08:51.This would not be the ideal pet. It takes up your spare room. It would
:08:52. > :08:57.have your arm off. He is incredibly chilled. Absolutely beautiful, this
:08:58. > :09:02.leopard gecko. You can get different coloured ones. You can choose your
:09:03. > :09:10.favourite colour. How much do they cost? Bearded dragon, running costs
:09:11. > :09:19.per week, ?7 up to ?10. To set it up completely, ?200, ?300. They are
:09:20. > :09:32.long-term creatures as well. They live ten, 15 years. A handbag.
:09:33. > :09:43.Again! I'm only joking. He is alive, no one is dead. Let us put a bit of
:09:44. > :09:52.music on. I thought you would play in the gecko. Lenny's new play is
:09:53. > :09:55.based on a record store. Andy Kershaw finds out why Huddersfield
:09:56. > :10:05.has a musical link to Kingston, Jamaica. In the 1970s, I fell in
:10:06. > :10:11.love with reggae. Whether it was watching live bands or listening to
:10:12. > :10:17.a sound system. The late 1970s and early 80s, are used to make
:10:18. > :10:23.pilgrimages here to listen to sound systems in the clubs and to see
:10:24. > :10:28.visiting Jamaican bands. But now all of those clubs have been knocked
:10:29. > :10:34.down and replaced by a charming multistorey car park. At the heart
:10:35. > :10:39.of those gigs where the competing sound systems. For the reggae DJs of
:10:40. > :10:43.Yorkshire, size really did matter. The sound system had its roots in
:10:44. > :10:47.Kingston, Jamaica. It was nothing more than a small gramophone and
:10:48. > :10:52.speakers which shopkeepers and businesses put outside to get the
:10:53. > :10:57.customers in. To join the big crowns, you needed big sounds. They
:10:58. > :11:06.grew into monstrous speaker systems which brought rhythm and blues and
:11:07. > :11:10.reggae to the UK. Michael Moore, he moved to Huddersfield from Jamaica
:11:11. > :11:18.in 1967 and set up his own sound system to become one of the town's
:11:19. > :11:23.living legends. What do the neighbours think question not they
:11:24. > :11:32.love it! -- what do the neighbours think? Huddersfield is a musical
:11:33. > :11:39.inspired town. What were the rivalries like? For an onlooker, you
:11:40. > :11:46.would not think it was friendly, but it was. This was a DJ clash, two
:11:47. > :11:50.sound systems in the same room. That is right. One would play a record
:11:51. > :11:55.and then the other. We made the sound on the music do the business.
:11:56. > :12:03.Sometimes I feel like I am in the box. For the deep as the sound, you
:12:04. > :12:08.cannot buy the equipment to create that in the shops. The sound system
:12:09. > :12:14.crews build their own. That tradition continues in Huddersfield
:12:15. > :12:22.to this day. How does it differ from the DJ gear I would use? It is a lot
:12:23. > :12:27.bigger and a lot better. Turntable, the brain, the preamp, the
:12:28. > :12:32.amplifiers, enormous speaker boxes. Physical laws do not allow a big fan
:12:33. > :12:37.to come out of a small box. But I think the 80s was probably the most
:12:38. > :12:41.exciting time for sound systems to be playing from Huddersfield around
:12:42. > :12:47.the country against other sound systems from major cities. And today
:12:48. > :12:51.the British sound systems are stronger than ever and the one Love
:12:52. > :12:59.Festival in Milton Keynes is Britain's reggae mecca. It moves
:13:00. > :13:09.you. People love sound systems. Where it used to be just a mainly
:13:10. > :13:13.West Indian, Jamaican descent culture when I was young, now it is
:13:14. > :13:18.from around the world. The biggest names in Jamaican music and the
:13:19. > :13:25.British fans were drawn to this Pennine town in the 70s and 80s. For
:13:26. > :13:28.a while, most implausibly, a small street in Huddersfield became a
:13:29. > :13:39.little corner of Kingston. He is dancing.
:13:40. > :13:45.# They call it The One Show. # This goes back to your early days.
:13:46. > :13:52.We used to have parties in Dudley. The Jamaican community do that, they
:13:53. > :14:00.get behind on the rent, they have a party and people pay to get in.
:14:01. > :14:05.Curry goat on paper plates. When you are a kid in Dudley and there is no
:14:06. > :14:10.fear in Dudley and there is no Fiona -- furniture in the house, you think
:14:11. > :14:18.your parents have gone, but it is not the case, they are having a
:14:19. > :14:22.party. My first expense of alcohol, baby charm. I first expose of seeing
:14:23. > :14:27.these massive speakers in my house. The base was so loud. People from
:14:28. > :14:33.over the road will be dancing in the living room. Such a great time. This
:14:34. > :14:36.is partly what Rudy's Rare Records is about. It is set in the present
:14:37. > :14:40.day and it is set in a record shop and it is about three generations of
:14:41. > :14:46.dysfunctional men living amongst each other. My dad is played by a
:14:47. > :14:53.fantastically funny actor. My son is played by a man from a group, you
:14:54. > :14:58.can see them on the internet. Wonderful cast. The director was the
:14:59. > :15:03.associate director on the 2012 Olympic ceremony with Danny Boyles.
:15:04. > :15:07.It was a fantastically exciting rehearsal process. The first time I
:15:08. > :15:12.have worked with a live writer. Normally if you do Shakespeare and
:15:13. > :15:15.stuff, you can't change anything. But now the writers are live, you
:15:16. > :15:25.go, can you change this? They go, it is fine. THIS HAS BEEN ON RADIO FOR
:15:26. > :15:46.SOME TIME. THAT WAS ON RADIO. BLUE -- Danny and the Human Zoo, what is
:15:47. > :15:51.that about? It is about a boy who wins a talent contest, he exploded
:15:52. > :15:56.into show business, he gets to meet people and go on television, he does
:15:57. > :15:59.a summer season in Blackpool. He has to do The Black and White Minstrel
:16:00. > :16:02.Show, because he was not paying attention when he signed a
:16:03. > :16:07.contract! He has a weird experience and he decides he has got to get out
:16:08. > :16:16.of the show by any means necessary. Autobiographical then? Yes. And my
:16:17. > :16:20.friend Neil Gaiman said that I should write about what I know, make
:16:21. > :16:26.up what I want, but make sure it has some reality to that. It will be at
:16:27. > :16:32.the Hackney Empire. And there is live music, there is singing. And
:16:33. > :16:37.many jokes! I'm looking forward to it. We wish you all of the best.
:16:38. > :16:43.Coming up, we have the worlds biggest boomerang The One Show. I
:16:44. > :16:46.love The One Show! World 's biggest boomerang! Somebody's going to smash
:16:47. > :17:00.some telephones later! That is what we are on right now.
:17:01. > :17:04.Now I've been amazed at how my mobile phone continues to
:17:05. > :17:07.work depsite endless drops, scrapes and exposure to the elements.
:17:08. > :17:09.Yes, they can be tougher than you think, and some
:17:10. > :17:12.of the latest ones are supposed to be even more hard wearing.
:17:13. > :17:16.Dom's been to test out their claims and when I say test, I mean test.
:17:17. > :17:25.I'm here at HMS Collingwood, one of the toughest training bases in the
:17:26. > :17:29.Royal Navy. Not to put the officers through their paces, but to test
:17:30. > :17:32.these rugged mobile phones. We have all seen phones with broken screens,
:17:33. > :17:36.these are the mobile phones specially designed to withstand the
:17:37. > :17:42.harshest environments and that office jobs. -- the toughest jobs.
:17:43. > :17:54.We are testing these mobile phones: It is not made by one of the rugged
:17:55. > :17:58.phone specialists, but it has been designed to withstand everything
:17:59. > :18:02.your child can throw at it. Can it keep up with its rugged competitors?
:18:03. > :18:06.We have asked the officers to strap each phone to their arm, so they
:18:07. > :18:16.take the full brunt of the assault course. Right, you horrible bunch of
:18:17. > :18:20.petty officers, put those marble throne is -- put those mobile phones
:18:21. > :18:24.through their paces! He has dropped it in the water, that is a problem!
:18:25. > :18:30.They all claim to be water resistant, our officers cannot help
:18:31. > :18:38.but give them a real soaking. He has found it! He has only found it! It
:18:39. > :18:42.was still ringing! As well as withstanding knocks and bumps, they
:18:43. > :18:48.are guaranteed to survive drops from 1.8 metres, but will they survive
:18:49. > :18:51.something a little more aggressive? Just one more dunking and the phones
:18:52. > :18:56.have completed the challenge. How have they fared? Let's have a look
:18:57. > :19:00.at these phones... This one, completely steamed up...
:19:01. > :19:09.This one, MGM, looking 100% OK... The high Street phone... Cracked
:19:10. > :19:15.screen but seems to be working... It does as well, it is illuminating...
:19:16. > :19:22.And this one, cracked screen, is it working? Know, the bottom... It is
:19:23. > :19:27.cream cracker. We are down to just two phones. Right, that is the
:19:28. > :19:31.assault force gone, now it is done to the big test, sort out the men
:19:32. > :19:36.from the boys. -- that is the assault course done.
:19:37. > :19:45.This is the submarine escape training tank, and trust me, it is
:19:46. > :19:49.very deep. In fact, it is 30 metres to the bottom, and I want to see how
:19:50. > :19:53.far down the two remaining phones, the MGM and the already cracked
:19:54. > :20:02.Samsung, can go before they stop working. The MGM should withstand
:20:03. > :20:05.1.5 metres, the Samsung claims to be water resistant down to one metre,
:20:06. > :20:12.but we are going to push them further. Things looking good... Two
:20:13. > :20:16.metres, and they are still working. But then the divers take them to the
:20:17. > :20:20.depths, keeping a close eye on when the operating system stop
:20:21. > :20:25.functioning... At what point did you think the MGM broke? Robert B 15
:20:26. > :20:32.metres. But the screen was still working... And then it just went. At
:20:33. > :20:35.what point did the other one go? The Samsung was still working, the
:20:36. > :20:40.screen, similar sort of time, and then it began making a lot of random
:20:41. > :20:48.letters and then it went. Even the dive tank has failed to separate out
:20:49. > :20:55.to toughest phones. We have one test left to try to turn in an ultimate
:20:56. > :20:58.winner. Welcome the Navy 's bomb disposal truck, weighing in at seven
:20:59. > :21:03.tonnes. This monster is more than enough to crush any telephone. We
:21:04. > :21:07.brought into new undamaged phones, to see which handset could withstand
:21:08. > :21:16.the most pressure. I heard some crunching sounds...
:21:17. > :21:20.Does it still work? No signs of life... And the MGM... No cracked
:21:21. > :21:28.screen, and this one is working 100%! The last phone standing, the
:21:29. > :21:34.MGM! Is there nothing that can stop this beast? ! ?322.80, it is the
:21:35. > :21:37.second cheapest of the phones. These tests were not exactly scientific,
:21:38. > :21:43.but if you think that I am leaving you with a working phone, you are
:21:44. > :21:46.mistaken! I refuse to be beaten by a mobile phone!
:21:47. > :21:59.Ready to go for another experiment. Apparently one of the most common
:22:00. > :22:05.accidents is dropping a telephone down a toilet! We all know someone
:22:06. > :22:09.who has done that. What you can do, turn it off, put it in a bowl of
:22:10. > :22:15.rice, put it in the airing cupboard for three days, fingers crossed! A
:22:16. > :22:18.bowl of rice? ! It is really absorbent, it is about the
:22:19. > :22:22.moisture. Another experiment involving cameras. They claim to be
:22:23. > :22:25.indestructible, they say they can be dropped from three metres. What we
:22:26. > :22:30.have got Lenny Henry here to do, imagine that you have confiscated
:22:31. > :22:38.these from the children, they have been peering in the front room. --
:22:39. > :22:43.on piece from the paparazzi. -- confiscated these from the
:22:44. > :22:46.paparazzi. Usually when I am in the street and the paparazzi are there
:22:47. > :22:54.and I have got a mallet, there is none of this... Why have we got a
:22:55. > :23:02.sheet? ! LAUGHTER Wait a minute, here we go...
:23:03. > :23:07.Goodness me! All right! LAUGHTER Visible signs of damage! We said
:23:08. > :23:13.that Lenny should do it! The lens has gone on that one. That is not
:23:14. > :23:19.bad! That one is OK, you could take that one back. Big problems here...
:23:20. > :23:22.Any signs of life? A little bit cracked. What about the buttons on
:23:23. > :23:27.this one? What we will do now, cracked. What about the buttons on
:23:28. > :23:32.We will we will try to buddies back together... I want to smash
:23:33. > :23:41.something else! We will show you the results in a moment. And here is
:23:42. > :23:47.Marty trying to smash a boomerang world record, here we go, bring it
:23:48. > :23:52.on! People have been throwing boomerangs for thousands of years,
:23:53. > :23:57.but for me, they are all a bit small... Today, I am going to go
:23:58. > :24:00.super-size! I shall try to break a record for the world 's largest
:24:01. > :24:07.boomerang to fly and crucially, to come back. The current world record
:24:08. > :24:14.measured 2.59 metres from tip to tip. This is not going to be easy to
:24:15. > :24:18.beat, and so to give me a hand, I have roped in my favourite
:24:19. > :24:23.Australian engineer, Hugh Hunt. Doctor, a boomerang has a banana
:24:24. > :24:28.shape, or what about the bend, why the bend? I have got to stick Cor,
:24:29. > :24:38.bits of wood, one is straight and this one is bent. -- I have got's 's
:24:39. > :24:42.of stick here. -- I have got two bits of stick here. You can see
:24:43. > :24:49.this, you can see if you throw them through the air, we will throw them
:24:50. > :24:52.together... Three, two, one... The bend helps the stick to spin and fly
:24:53. > :25:00.further, it does not make it come back. The spinning boomerang is a
:25:01. > :25:03.bit like this spinning wheel, if it is not spinning, it will tumble
:25:04. > :25:11.down. But as soon as it is spinning... Then it is staying
:25:12. > :25:15.upright. Yes, it stays stable, but one extra thing is happening, if you
:25:16. > :25:20.notice... It is turning around. That is called gyroscopic procession and
:25:21. > :25:27.that is what makes spinning boomerang comeback. To get this
:25:28. > :25:34.effect in his bent piece of wood, he needs to carefully shaped the
:25:35. > :25:48.boomerang on one side. -- shape. Now, hopefully, it should return.
:25:49. > :25:53.That was brilliant! But... How big can we go? That little one, if you
:25:54. > :25:57.make it twice as big, it is going to be eight times heavier. To build a
:25:58. > :26:01.record-breaking boomerang, that is light enough to throw, we have
:26:02. > :26:06.teamed up with the British boomerang Society, and we have headed to the
:26:07. > :26:12.Oval cricket ground, the perfect spot to sling around a boomerang.
:26:13. > :26:16.Adam, Sean, lovely to meet you. How do you throw this, do you hold it
:26:17. > :26:20.that end? We will be throwing it off this handle here, over your
:26:21. > :26:27.shoulder, and throwing it like this... What we are trying to do is
:26:28. > :26:31.get a maximum rotation on launch. It is very tricky. Is it going to
:26:32. > :26:36.work? Is it going to work? There is a chance these may break, as we
:26:37. > :26:49.found out in testing. That is why we have brought four! It is much
:26:50. > :26:54.it must be throwing 20 metres or more and it must return to the
:26:55. > :26:58.position of the thrower within ten metres. If it were any bigger, it
:26:59. > :27:04.would not work at all. Have I got to catch it? You do not have to catch
:27:05. > :27:06.it! 20 metres is still a long way to throw a kilogram of wood. May as
:27:07. > :27:18.well give it a try! Well, it definitely flies! Just not
:27:19. > :27:29.quite far enough... Very good throw. Try again!
:27:30. > :27:37.This is not easy. I'm still just shy of the 20 metre mark. We have been
:27:38. > :27:40.throwing for 30 years, when it comes to something this big, it is tough.
:27:41. > :28:03.We will see if Adam can do better. It is official! 2.74 metres, this is
:28:04. > :28:06.the world 's largest returning boomerang!
:28:07. > :28:24.people at home are going, unbelievable!
:28:25. > :28:31.CHEERING We smashed some cameras... I want a
:28:32. > :28:39.boomerang! They cannot withstand a wooden hammer, basically. They are
:28:40. > :28:43.not Lenny Henry proof! This one fared slightly better, we have got
:28:44. > :28:49.some kind of Arctic mountain range going on... And this one is
:28:50. > :28:55.completely dead... But anyway, the tester did recommend the mallet.
:28:56. > :28:59.Shocker, it did not work. Lenny Henry, thank you very much indeed.
:29:00. > :29:03.I'm sorry your experiment did not happen.
:29:04. > :29:06.Thanks to Lenny, and Rudy's Rare Records opens in Birmingham' Rep
:29:07. > :29:09.Theatre on 4th September before moving to London's Hackney
:29:10. > :29:12.Empire at the end of the month. Tomorrow, Mad Men's silver-tongued
:29:13. > :29:13.star Jon Hamm will be here. See you then.
:29:14. > :29:15.Good night.
