:00:17. > :00:24.Hello and welcome to your Wednesday www. One Show with Matt Baker And
:00:25. > :00:28.Alex Jones. Tonight Esther is here to celebrate the success of the
:00:29. > :00:33.groundbreaking and life saving number she launched 30 years
:00:34. > :00:36.agricultural. Join Esther is one of Britain's best stand-ups, he happens
:00:37. > :00:50.to be from Canada, who cares. We will claim her as one of our own, it
:00:51. > :00:54.Claudio Ranieri. -- Katherine Ryan. First here is Esther, 30 years
:00:55. > :00:57.agricultural introducing that now famous phone line that gave children
:00:58. > :01:01.someone to call when they had no-one else to turn to. We can announce a
:01:02. > :01:09.brand new idea in this country, the launch of a national helpline for
:01:10. > :01:15.children in trouble or danger. It's free, it's called ChildLine.
:01:16. > :01:22.I still remember now the advert with the little girl running down the
:01:23. > :01:25.stairs to the red phone box. I can't thank ChildLine enough for having
:01:26. > :01:37.this service that's available to kids who don't know where to turn.
:01:38. > :01:43.If it wasn't Forrester for Esther or ChildLine I wouldn't be here. Back
:01:44. > :01:48.in 1986, I would never have dreamed that by now we would have helped
:01:49. > :01:55.more than four million desperate children who had nowhere else to
:01:56. > :01:59.turn. 30 years agricultural, Jo was being sexually abused by a family
:02:00. > :02:03.friend. She saw the ChildLine launch and wrote to us. First of all I was
:02:04. > :02:10.too scared to telephone iechl wrote a letter using my best friend's
:02:11. > :02:14.address. I received a reply back asking me to give ChildLine a call.
:02:15. > :02:17.I was so scared my best friend actually did most of the talking.
:02:18. > :02:26.What is it that ChildLine was able to give you? Confidence. Strength.
:02:27. > :02:34.Strategies to look after myself, keep myself safe. But also, the
:02:35. > :02:39.opportunity to work through things on my own with their help and advice
:02:40. > :02:46.rather than just sinking into depression. Today, ChildLine is a
:02:47. > :02:52.service provided by the NSPCC. There are 12 chooild lain bases all over
:02:53. > :02:57.the country. ChildLine's model has been copied in 150 countries. We've
:02:58. > :03:02.come a long way since our pioneering days in 1986. Back then, the phone
:03:03. > :03:06.lines were instantly busy when we launched. With just 4 #0s
:03:07. > :03:12.volunteers, in a tiny office, we struggled to answer the 50,000 calls
:03:13. > :03:19.we received on that first night. -- 40. I caught up with Rosenne Pearce
:03:20. > :03:23.a ChildLine counsellor in our London base. It's so different from when we
:03:24. > :03:25.started. There would be a lot of noise in the counselling room
:03:26. > :03:30.because most children were ringing us. Now more children contact us
:03:31. > :03:35.online. Can you help a child as effectively on-line? You definitely
:03:36. > :03:39.can. Children do tell us about a lot of the most serious issues online
:03:40. > :03:44.because they find it easier to talk online. It's somehow more anonymous
:03:45. > :03:48.for them. When we started children were ringing about something someone
:03:49. > :03:53.was doing to them, bullying, abuse and neglect. There seems to be this
:03:54. > :03:56.unhappiness? I think that's partly because they are comparing
:03:57. > :04:00.themselves to what they see online. Whereas they didn't have that in the
:04:01. > :04:05.past. So, they see people on Facebook looking perfect. They see
:04:06. > :04:11.celebrities looking wonderful. The images are so accessible now that's
:04:12. > :04:15.hard for young people to keep up. Joe was frightened ashamed she
:04:16. > :04:20.couldn't tell anyone about the abuse she'd endured as a child until she
:04:21. > :04:26.was watching ChildLine's launch night in her mid-20s -- Jo. I had
:04:27. > :04:31.not been able to say a word about my abuse until that programme came on
:04:32. > :04:36.air. It's just the key that unlocked all my abuse that had gone on for
:04:37. > :04:40.like seven-and-a-half years. I just wanted somebody to say - no, it's
:04:41. > :04:46.all right. I thought no-one would believe me. This woman came on the
:04:47. > :04:51.phone she said - but I do. Adam Bennett was ten years old and badly
:04:52. > :04:55.bullied at school when he contacted ChildLine. Name calling, getting
:04:56. > :04:59.spat on. Everyone's punch bag. I knew I should have spoken to my
:05:00. > :05:05.parents about it, but I was too ashamed. What happened when you rang
:05:06. > :05:11.ChildLine? I just remember the woman on the line making me feel very safe
:05:12. > :05:15.straightaway. The confidence of the phone call gave me the confidence to
:05:16. > :05:21.talk to my mum. That gave me the confidence to stand up to this kid.
:05:22. > :05:27.ChildLine has been supporting and protecting children for 30 years. I
:05:28. > :05:29.hope it will continue to be there for desperate children and young
:05:30. > :05:32.people as long as they need our help. Sometimes we get children
:05:33. > :05:37.coming through and saying - thank you so much. You've actually saved
:05:38. > :05:42.my life. That's lovely to ChildLine works. Hear. I do my up most at all
:05:43. > :05:46.times to try and support ChildLine. I feel like I'm a much Bert person
:05:47. > :05:51.for it now because I dealt with it and I didn't bottle it up. Coming
:05:52. > :05:58.out the other side of it, I'm so happy in myself. I like who I've
:05:59. > :06:03.become. What a sentiment to finish on. We are joined by one of
:06:04. > :06:06.ChildLine's counsellors, Elizabeth. We heard about the success of the
:06:07. > :06:10.launch night. What prompted you to launch the service in the first
:06:11. > :06:18.place? We did an item on a programme you are too young to children called
:06:19. > :06:23.That's Life. We remember it! Nobody say "sausages"! That would be a
:06:24. > :06:28.rather mysterious comment from me. I will explain sausages later. I know
:06:29. > :06:33.That's Life it went to 1994, you were great on. It I'm a very old
:06:34. > :06:39.man, secretly. We did this item about child abuse. Because there
:06:40. > :06:42.were so many children in our audience we opened a special
:06:43. > :06:48.helpline, opened 48-hours, it was for children who might have been
:06:49. > :06:52.suffered cruelty. We got so many calls about 100 children rang
:06:53. > :06:55.reporting sexual abuse which was at the time the great taboo they
:06:56. > :06:59.couldn't talk about it anywhere else. I remember coming in the next
:07:00. > :07:05.day and hearing this and realising it was more important than anything
:07:06. > :07:08.I had ever done before. To protect children from avoidable pain was so
:07:09. > :07:12.crucial. That led to ChildLine. Thankfully through all the people
:07:13. > :07:15.out there and the people in the film you kept it going. The subjects
:07:16. > :07:20.covered 30 years agricultural and less were a lot about physical,
:07:21. > :07:26.sexual abuse, bullying, these days, you will know about this Elizabeth,
:07:27. > :07:31.the subject matter has widen quite significantly, hasn't it? Yes we get
:07:32. > :07:35.a high number of people phoning up about self-harm and suicidal
:07:36. > :07:40.thoughts. Maybe being cyberbullied now there. Are new issues coming up
:07:41. > :07:47.for young people. They were unknown in 1986. That's it. Katherine, for
:07:48. > :07:49.those of us with young children your daughter is six-and-a-half, as mine
:07:50. > :07:55.is too, you wonder about the world they are growing up. Is it a worry
:07:56. > :07:58.for you? Absolutely it is. It's great ChildLine has evolved to
:07:59. > :08:03.include an online forum for communication. That's really their
:08:04. > :08:07.language now. I think it's so important for every child to know
:08:08. > :08:12.that someone is listening. I tell my daughter most people are good. The
:08:13. > :08:17.worse thing is to keep a secret. We laugh when things are cute. So many
:08:18. > :08:22.times the child will say something, we laugh, they want to be listened
:08:23. > :08:27.to and taken seriously. Yes, the dog does have eyes, you are correct.
:08:28. > :08:31.That's a great point. Someone is always listening, I think is the
:08:32. > :08:36.message. When children are confident enough to ring people like yourself,
:08:37. > :08:39.Elizabeth, who volunteer, how do you deal then with those calls when a
:08:40. > :08:44.child who is incredibly vulnerable on the other side of the line rings
:08:45. > :08:49.up and you have to somehow talk them around or talk them out of a
:08:50. > :08:52.situation? Well, we understand how difficult it can be for a young
:08:53. > :08:56.person to call ChildLine and to begin to talk about something that
:08:57. > :09:00.can be very difficult for them. So we listen to them and we reassure
:09:01. > :09:05.them that calling ChildLine you can talk about anything at all. Whatever
:09:06. > :09:10.you talk about, it will be a private conversation between ChildLine and
:09:11. > :09:17.that young person. We believe what they say. We can support them, when
:09:18. > :09:21.they think the time is right to get some help. We can support them with
:09:22. > :09:25.that too. We tell them it's not their fault. The abuse that is
:09:26. > :09:28.happening to them isn't their fault. They know that they can phone
:09:29. > :09:34.ChildLine again at any time they want to speak about it again. Yeah.
:09:35. > :09:38.Esther, we have seen high-profile cases of sexual abuse that have made
:09:39. > :09:43.it to court, but haven't ended in a conviction. Do you worry that those
:09:44. > :09:46.who might think of ringing ChildLine are reluctant because they may feel
:09:47. > :09:51.they will not be listened to? The good thing is when you get a
:09:52. > :09:56.high-profile case like Jimmy Savile, that actually enables and empowers
:09:57. > :10:00.children and some adults too to talk about things that they thought would
:10:01. > :10:03.be completely disbelieved and for the first time they realise that
:10:04. > :10:08.actually they can report crimes against them and quite often they
:10:09. > :10:12.corroborate each other. Do you notice a spike? We certainly do when
:10:13. > :10:17.there is a conviction we do get a spike. Of course, the important
:10:18. > :10:21.place for the conviction is in a court of law rather than elsewhere.
:10:22. > :10:26.What worries me is whether our courts are sensitive enough to
:10:27. > :10:28.handle these cases. There have been changes, that is another change in
:10:29. > :10:32.the last 30 years. Things have improved. It's easier for children
:10:33. > :10:36.now to report abuse and for an abuser to go to jail. You would like
:10:37. > :10:40.people on the subject of ChildLine to get in contact with you this
:10:41. > :10:44.evening, wouldn't you? Yes, we really would. The thing is, it's so
:10:45. > :10:47.difficult for us, giving anonymous children, to know the end of the
:10:48. > :10:53.story. Did it end well after that phone call or perhaps did it go
:10:54. > :10:58.badly? So what we want is for any adults who rang ChildLine when they
:10:59. > :11:02.were children to get in touch with me via your website and tell us
:11:03. > :11:06.their story. It will be confidential. We won't pass it on,
:11:07. > :11:10.but we can learn from it. It will make other children aware of it. For
:11:11. > :11:14.those children to whom something happened, but they didn't ring
:11:15. > :11:19.ChildLine, we desperately want to know why? We want to make ourselves
:11:20. > :11:24.even more accessible. Perhaps children who have been groomed or
:11:25. > :11:27.part of child sexual exploitation didn't feel ChildLine's line was for
:11:28. > :11:30.them. Get in touch and tell us why and we will be able to work more
:11:31. > :11:37.effectively in the years to come. Lovely. Thank you. ChildLine number
:11:38. > :11:43.is free phone 0800 1111. Completely free. Now, normally, thank you
:11:44. > :11:46.Elizabeth as well. Normally multi-million selling international
:11:47. > :11:49.popstars are used to getting their own way in this world, aren't they?
:11:50. > :11:53.If that involves stripping off in a field of barley in County Down, who
:11:54. > :11:57.is going to stop them? I will tell you who is going to stop them. Go
:11:58. > :12:04.on. Alan is going to stop them. Go on, son. Meet Alan Graham, a church
:12:05. > :12:08.going farmer from Bangor Northern Ireland who in 2011 became the
:12:09. > :12:13.centre of a media storm when he went head-to-head with one of the world's
:12:14. > :12:18.biggest megastars # You can stand under my umbrella...
:12:19. > :12:23.# Pop diva Rihanna was appearing in
:12:24. > :12:32.concert in nearby Belfast when she decided to shoot her new video using
:12:33. > :12:36.the local scenery. For one sequence Alan's bareliy field seemed perfect.
:12:37. > :12:41.It happened on a Friday afternoon. I had barley to cut at that particular
:12:42. > :12:45.time of the year. That was the background that the film crew were
:12:46. > :12:50.looking for to film this video of a lady running through a barley field.
:12:51. > :12:54.As filming progressed, it soon became clear to the deeply religious
:12:55. > :13:01.Alan that Rihanna might be getting too close to nature for his liking.
:13:02. > :13:06.They moved into that back field behind the trees. At that point
:13:07. > :13:10.that's when the dress code became unacceptable to me. So I went to the
:13:11. > :13:15.film crew, just told them it was over. It was inappropriate. Rihanna
:13:16. > :13:19.however used to getting what she wanted was soon pleading with Alan
:13:20. > :13:24.to change his mind. What was the interaction between you two? She got
:13:25. > :13:30.herself wrapped up and came over and had a chat. Shook hands. I told her
:13:31. > :13:34.I was a Christian and she was very respectful to my point of view. We
:13:35. > :13:39.shook hands four or five times. Then we parted company. The crew packed
:13:40. > :13:44.up and that was that. Or so Alan thought. What he didn't know was
:13:45. > :13:50.that lurking in nearby bushes were some paparazzi and they had caught
:13:51. > :13:56.the whole altercation on camera. Local photographer Justin was among
:13:57. > :14:03.the throng and he knew the story was tabloid gold? I filled one of my
:14:04. > :14:10.cards of 4,000 5,000 images, constantly shooting. She moves, you
:14:11. > :14:15.shoot it. Did the incident with Alan and Rihanna in the field add to the
:14:16. > :14:20.appeal, do you think? Of course it did, yeah. It make it is a lot more,
:14:21. > :14:26.sort of, tasty that the local farmer came down and told Rihanna off, you
:14:27. > :14:31.know! As news of the story spread like wildfire, farmer Alan was about
:14:32. > :14:35.to have his 15 minutes of fame riebth around the world. Rihanna
:14:36. > :14:41.will have to find a new location for her next video. An Irish farmer told
:14:42. > :14:46.Rihanna to put her clothes back on. She was wearing a bee kinny. Who
:14:47. > :14:51.does that? In the press Alan was headline news.
:14:52. > :14:58.I didn't realise what the media interest would be that that morning
:14:59. > :15:02.camera crews were arriving at the farm at dawn and people, journalists
:15:03. > :15:07.and newspaper people were ringing me and it was becoming a big story.
:15:08. > :15:14.Bearing in mind I had to still get my barley cut. Online, someone
:15:15. > :15:17.accusing Alan of being a God-fearing fuddy-duddy. Thankfully, however, he
:15:18. > :15:24.was getting support from like-minded people around the globe. This card
:15:25. > :15:30.here came from a lady in California. It came sometime after the shoot.
:15:31. > :15:34.What did she say? She was very, very encouraging and tells me somewhere
:15:35. > :15:38.that I'm a hero and the world needs me. We had the supreme privilege of
:15:39. > :15:44.seeing your intervention. I think the ordinary people want a wee bit
:15:45. > :15:47.better from show business. When the video was eventually released the
:15:48. > :15:54.world was able to see just what all the fuss was about.
:15:55. > :16:00.It's been a number of years since Alan has watched Rihanna's video, so
:16:01. > :16:04.how does he feel now? Do you feel vindicated in the end? Welcome at
:16:05. > :16:09.the local newspaper did say that Alan Graham was right, so I suppose
:16:10. > :16:15.I did feel a certain amount of vindication at that stage. Are over
:16:16. > :16:20.it? Yes, I'm over it. Get into those chips now. In the end of the single
:16:21. > :16:26.went on to sell over 10 million copies and video set in Alan's
:16:27. > :16:31.barley field won eight Ramey award. Alan used his bit of fame to help
:16:32. > :16:34.his own profile committee is currently the mayor of the local
:16:35. > :16:43.borough council, not such a hopeless place after all! -- Grammy award.
:16:44. > :16:48.It was so interesting that Rihanna doesn't get away with it but Matt on
:16:49. > :16:53.countryside can do anything he wants -- country file. I'm often seen in a
:16:54. > :17:00.pair of hot pants, topless in a field! Whose side are you on, Alan
:17:01. > :17:04.or Rihanna? I've never seen an Irishman tried to tell a woman what
:17:05. > :17:10.to do with her body! You speak of authority, don't you? I'm on
:17:11. > :17:13.Rihanna's side because the song is biblical, found love in a hopeless
:17:14. > :17:19.place, perhaps Rihanna stripping off in the field was God, because
:17:20. > :17:23.Rihanna is made in God's image, appearing before him, congratulating
:17:24. > :17:29.him on being such a holy man! If that's not an act of God, what is?
:17:30. > :17:35.Alan will be knocking on your door soon! Yes he is. Last time you came
:17:36. > :17:40.on you talked about your tour KathBum, as of course that is your
:17:41. > :17:43.nickname as we found out. You honed it at Edinburgh but now it's in full
:17:44. > :17:49.flow and full swing. What type of topics are you covering? What have
:17:50. > :17:54.you been honing? KathBum is ready. Never thought I nickname that I
:17:55. > :17:58.hated when I was young would become my name on Twitter, the name of my
:17:59. > :18:02.show and the name of my limited company but I do miss home sometimes
:18:03. > :18:04.and my family, especially one of my sisters!
:18:05. > :18:10.LAUGHTER You know, you're the one -- the
:18:11. > :18:16.other one, you cannot help who you are sisters with. One of them is
:18:17. > :18:24.getting married and I talk about news, celebrity culture, that is my
:18:25. > :18:28.first love, the late night chat show, the monologue, that's how I
:18:29. > :18:32.was get my news, even today. How do you deal with the process? Listen to
:18:33. > :18:36.the breakfast News and start scribbling? What is the process? You
:18:37. > :18:44.two might be in the gym, that's my gym! Doubtful! You can strip off in
:18:45. > :18:49.my field any day! I won't see it as a sign! That is my gym, I love to
:18:50. > :18:53.write about the news, I love to hear about the news from a satirical
:18:54. > :18:56.angle so I always open the show with that and then I look back and talk
:18:57. > :19:01.about my family and growing up in Canada and what my life is like now
:19:02. > :19:04.with a daughter, and really I'm an immigrant single mum, just the two
:19:05. > :19:12.bus in Britain for eight nine years now. We have a moment of you on the
:19:13. > :19:16.stage talking about your daughter. My daughter's English, I didn't see
:19:17. > :19:19.that coming at all, she hid it very well as a baby, you could not tell
:19:20. > :19:24.where she was from for about a year and then all of a sudden, money, she
:19:25. > :19:28.started to talk like this way. I thought she was just mocking me at
:19:29. > :19:38.first but it turns out she's British. They are sneaking into my
:19:39. > :19:43.own body. Nigel Farage did not see that coming, did he?
:19:44. > :19:47.APPLAUSE You were talking about your daughter
:19:48. > :19:52.last time as well, and saying used to take her on the stage with you as
:19:53. > :19:57.well, strapped to you when she was smaller. Now she is six and a half,
:19:58. > :20:00.does she understand what money does? For a little while she thought
:20:01. > :20:06.everybody's mother was a comedian and then she learned the truth, most
:20:07. > :20:09.mothers do far more admirable things and that. Violet knows lots of
:20:10. > :20:12.stand-up comedians, she comes with me almost everywhere I can bring her
:20:13. > :20:18.if it doesn't interfere with her school and she hates it! . She?
:20:19. > :20:24.She's mortified and it's perfect because my parents had academic
:20:25. > :20:29.careers, Violet will rebel by going to law school! That is ideal! It's
:20:30. > :20:34.interesting because you talk about your life in Canada and what have
:20:35. > :20:38.you, and he worked in a place called Hooters. You say it like you've
:20:39. > :20:46.never been! A place I've never heard of! It is true! Apparently they say
:20:47. > :20:51.it is a family restaurant with an edge. Just explain the concept. That
:20:52. > :20:58.is how I should build myself, I'm a family restaurant with an edge.
:20:59. > :21:05.Listen, I grew up very much a product of mainstream pop culture
:21:06. > :21:08.and these images of beautiful women and Britney Spears when she was
:21:09. > :21:12.attractive by accident and I thought that was the best thing you could
:21:13. > :21:17.be. A calm, quiet, subservient cheerleader. I didn't know any
:21:18. > :21:22.better growing and I worked at Hooters where that is the archetype
:21:23. > :21:25.of the waitresses there. I met some amazing women who really had a lot
:21:26. > :21:29.of chat. It taught me to be a comedian working at Hooters, which I
:21:30. > :21:34.wouldn't recommend now but I was 18 years old. And I really had a good
:21:35. > :21:38.time and found my voice working there. And you are writing a sitcom
:21:39. > :21:40.about it and all sorts of things. You should never speak about
:21:41. > :21:46.anything until it happens because once I said I was writing a sitcom
:21:47. > :21:51.about my time waitressing and now people are asking me, no one wants
:21:52. > :21:57.to make it! I may or may not but I'm trying. They will watch this show
:21:58. > :22:01.and they will be listening! For KathBum fans, good news, the Torah
:22:02. > :22:06.has been extended, and will be across the UK from now until the
:22:07. > :22:10.21st of May. We are doing the Hammersmith Apollo on the 25th in
:22:11. > :22:13.London. Good venue! Last Wednesday we asked you to send
:22:14. > :22:17.us pictures of long lost friends that you wanted to get in touch with
:22:18. > :22:21.and we've been pretty successful. We showed this very picture here sent
:22:22. > :22:25.in by Dawn and her husband Michael is on the right in his wedding suit,
:22:26. > :22:31.and he lost contact with his best man, Rate, for the last 14 years. As
:22:32. > :22:34.it turned out Ray had been trying to get in touch too and because of The
:22:35. > :22:40.One Show they will be meeting up and going for a drink. They haven't
:22:41. > :22:43.actually met, we just put the pictures together, by the way. We
:22:44. > :22:48.don't want to stop there because this week we have heard that the
:22:49. > :22:52.famous site Friends Reunited will close for good. It's the website
:22:53. > :22:57.that put old friends, and even old flames, back in contact. We want to
:22:58. > :23:03.hear if Friends Reunited changed your life and if you have a story to
:23:04. > :23:08.share you can e-mail the show at bbc.co.uk/theoneshow with the
:23:09. > :23:10.subject line Friends. Let's turn our attention to a creature that is
:23:11. > :23:15.right at the bottom of the food chain. Here is Mike Dilger.
:23:16. > :23:21.If someone said to you the greatest migration on earth, what would you
:23:22. > :23:26.think of? Wildebeest crossing the Serengeti plains, Cariboo Crossing
:23:27. > :23:30.the Arctic tundra? Nice guesses but no, because its plankton and this
:23:31. > :23:36.amazing journey happens just off our shores.
:23:37. > :23:39.The animals that take part in this huge migration underpin all marine
:23:40. > :23:45.life in the British Isles. For the most part you will probably never
:23:46. > :23:50.even have seen them. I've come to the west Coast of Scotland and the
:23:51. > :23:54.beautiful island of Mull. To take a closer look at plankton. These tiny
:23:55. > :24:00.but incredibly important organisms. During the summer months the seas
:24:01. > :24:03.off the British Isles transform, filling up with swirling patterns
:24:04. > :24:07.covering hundreds of square kilometres, which can even be seen
:24:08. > :24:12.from space. These patterns are in fact plumes of tiny plants called
:24:13. > :24:17.phytoplankton. Most no bigger than a pinhead. These tiny plankton are so
:24:18. > :24:21.numerous they produce over half the oxygen we breathe, and they even
:24:22. > :24:24.give the sea its smell, and most importantly they are the food of the
:24:25. > :24:32.creatures I've come to investigated a. I'm on a quest to find some of
:24:33. > :24:37.the weirdest animals on the planet and they are so small that we need
:24:38. > :24:42.to look out for the predators that feed on them if we want to find
:24:43. > :24:46.them. Zooplankton make an incredible journey each day, moving through the
:24:47. > :24:49.waters where they feed and the dark depths where they are safe from
:24:50. > :24:54.predators. Some of these tiny individuals travelled to depths of
:24:55. > :24:58.500 metres, this monumental feat by so many minuscule animals makes them
:24:59. > :25:05.part of the biggest migration on the planet. Here off the Hebrides in
:25:06. > :25:09.waters rich in nutrients creates a pint and hotspot and in the waters
:25:10. > :25:17.off the coast it isn't long before we find what we are looking for.
:25:18. > :25:21.This is fabulous behaviour. The animals that feed on plankton are
:25:22. > :25:27.being pushed to the surface by bigger fish and birds piling in from
:25:28. > :25:31.the top and gannets diving from 25, 30 metres up and slamming into the
:25:32. > :25:34.water and they are feeding on the shoals of fish. And where there are
:25:35. > :25:41.fish there are going to be huge plankton blooms, and that's what we
:25:42. > :25:43.want to see. Zooplankton may be amongst the most numerous animals on
:25:44. > :25:50.earth but catching them isn't easy. So we brought it plankton professor
:25:51. > :25:55.to help us, with his specialist net system we soon caught some marathon
:25:56. > :26:02.migrate as while they were up at the surface feeding, and headed back to
:26:03. > :26:05.the land. -- migrate as. This is a whole new world, David. Talk me
:26:06. > :26:11.through this creature which looks like it has a fan tail. It is about
:26:12. > :26:16.seven millimetres long and it is the lion of the sea, it is carnivorous
:26:17. > :26:19.and eats the other chaps. There is another one that is distinctive with
:26:20. > :26:24.long antennae that also has the colour red running through its body.
:26:25. > :26:30.Across the North Atlantic and up into the Arctic, it's important as a
:26:31. > :26:35.source of fish food for commercially imported species. You can see an oil
:26:36. > :26:41.sack, it is Lippett, that basically. Herring and mackerel feed on them in
:26:42. > :26:44.huge numbers and that transfers into its tissues. Bastia mega three that
:26:45. > :26:51.we need to eat for our own diet. -- that is the omega three. Exactly. It
:26:52. > :26:54.is incredible to think that the world's marine life is so reliant on
:26:55. > :26:58.such tiny animals so the next time you settle down to a fish supper,
:26:59. > :27:03.remember, it's all down to the plankton.
:27:04. > :27:06.Thank you very much, Mike. He can't be here today because we have
:27:07. > :27:12.dispatched him to a very chilly Totnes in Devon to find out how some
:27:13. > :27:14.birds keep warm and out of the temperatures now that they have
:27:15. > :27:19.plummeted. Mike is a lovely lad and sent some
:27:20. > :27:23.satellite images that could rival that will stop this picture of the
:27:24. > :27:28.phytoplankton from space. Have a look at this one, it is Halley eBay
:27:29. > :27:35.in Antarctica. Some initially unassuming brown patches -- Howie
:27:36. > :27:45.they are Penguin to, Penguin Gouano, this picture was taken 480
:27:46. > :27:48.kilometres away and British scientists from the British
:27:49. > :27:52.Antarctic Survey have used these images of Penguin to to monitor
:27:53. > :27:56.colonies in space so they can tell the difference between the species,
:27:57. > :28:00.adults and chicks, and the researchers discovered there were
:28:01. > :28:03.twice as many colonies of Emperor penguins in Antarctica than
:28:04. > :28:10.previously thought. Who knew it was so handy. I have another fact,
:28:11. > :28:18.today's Penguin awareness Day. Yes. And cheese Day. Cheese Day! Double
:28:19. > :28:23.Day. Penguins do not eat cheese, fun fact. Which were you celebrating out
:28:24. > :28:26.of the cheese and Penguin Day? It is a close call!
:28:27. > :28:31.LAUGHTER That would be a hard-won. Let's on
:28:32. > :28:36.because you might like this, it was in Canada. This is the world's
:28:37. > :28:39.biggest beaver dam. Canada from space. That's what it looks like
:28:40. > :28:42.close-up as well! LAUGHTER
:28:43. > :28:47.Thank you to Katherine for joining us, you can see her on her KathBum
:28:48. > :28:55.Tomorrow, Mary Berry will be here - see you at 7pm.
:28:56. > :28:57.If you watch later we will see you in a while.
