:00:21. > :00:27.Hello and welcome to the The One Show with Matt Baker... And Alex
:00:27. > :00:31.Jones. Tonight we are joined by a Brooklyn
:00:31. > :00:35.sumer star. Fresh from his Royal Variety
:00:35. > :00:45.Performance last night, let's say hello again to Neil Diamond.
:00:45. > :00:47.
:00:47. > :00:48.APPLAUSE Welcome back, Neil.
:00:48. > :00:51.APPLAUSE I went downstairs for food and it
:00:51. > :00:58.was rammed with ladies? Well, I'm glad that we were able to take them
:00:58. > :01:01.in from the rain! LAUGHTER
:01:01. > :01:03.It was cold out there so I'm happy to have them in and thank you for
:01:03. > :01:06.taking them in. These lovely ladies were telling
:01:06. > :01:11.Matt that you had a great night last night at the Royal Variety
:01:11. > :01:17.Performance? High the most fun. I got a chance to sing to Her Majesty
:01:17. > :01:21.which was the reason for our trip over here. Halfs that -- what was
:01:21. > :01:29.that like Neil? Well, it was unique and extraordinary. High a chance to
:01:29. > :01:34.-- I had a chance to speak to Her Majesty before I went on and we had
:01:34. > :01:42.a nice chat and she really wanted to talk to my wife about horses and
:01:42. > :01:47.they did talk and had a nice conversation. Was she doing a
:01:47. > :01:53.little, you know? I hope so. The rest of the audience was. We were
:01:53. > :01:59.having a good time during the show. I did chat with Prince Philip for a
:01:59. > :02:02.little bit. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful experience, I don't think
:02:02. > :02:06.I will forget it. We understand that for instance
:02:06. > :02:12.William is a fan. Is it right that you were going to change the words
:02:12. > :02:18.from Sweet Caroline to Sweet Catherine? I hadn't heard that, but
:02:18. > :02:21.I would be happy to! We heard he was a big fan and you were on the
:02:21. > :02:24.list for maybes to sing at the wedding.
:02:24. > :02:32.That's wonderful to hear. We will be talking to you more
:02:32. > :02:35.during the programme. It is the December that's been -- it is the
:02:35. > :02:39.disease that is sweeping through the country.
:02:39. > :02:44.The forests of Britain are facing one threat.
:02:45. > :02:49.So far in 2012, more and new outbreaks of tree diseases have
:02:49. > :02:54.been recorded in the UK than in any previous year. It is fear that had
:02:54. > :03:00.the majority of the UK's 80 million ash trees could die. Even one of
:03:00. > :03:10.our most iconic trees, the Scotch pine is believed to be in danger.
:03:10. > :03:11.
:03:11. > :03:17.An increasing number of pests and parasites are nahuing are eating
:03:17. > :03:21.through our forests. If we don't take care in trying to
:03:21. > :03:27.prevent these organisms coming in we could be looking at losing
:03:27. > :03:31.several tree species or severe damage and the landscape effects
:03:31. > :03:36.could be even worse than we have seen already with Dutch elm disease.
:03:36. > :03:40.Tens of thousands of ash trees have been felled to stop the spread of
:03:40. > :03:45.ash dieback since it was first identified in February. But this
:03:45. > :03:50.disease is just the latest to hit our trees in the last few years. In
:03:50. > :03:57.recent weeks, a record number of tree in the west of Scotland have
:03:57. > :04:02.been identified as being infected. This incredible machine can fell
:04:02. > :04:07.several hundred trees a day. The guys have their work cut out out
:04:07. > :04:12.for them because they have thousands left to fell.
:04:12. > :04:16.How much is at risk? At the moment, it is contained in the West Coast.
:04:16. > :04:20.It was originally West Coast of England and it moved up through
:04:20. > :04:26.Wales and into Scotland and there has been a large outbreak in
:04:26. > :04:31.Scotland over the last year. The large trees release spores in the
:04:32. > :04:35.wind and they be blown on to other sites. As soon as a tree is felled,
:04:35. > :04:41.that's the problem contained. We had 10 to 11 trees on this silet
:04:41. > :04:43.that were -- site that were infected, but we needed to fell the
:04:43. > :04:47.3,000 trees on the site to contain the disease.
:04:47. > :04:51.Action has been taken. The Government held emergency meetings
:04:51. > :05:00.and banned imported seeds, plants and tree to say protect our remain
:05:00. > :05:07.ash trees. A key woodland site in Dunbarton
:05:07. > :05:12.reacted to the crisis. We were due to plant over 7,000 ash
:05:13. > :05:15.saplings but we won't plant past 2013 because we don't know they are
:05:15. > :05:23.safe. What other species are under
:05:23. > :05:29.threat? In Scotland, Scotch pine is being affected. There is another
:05:29. > :05:34.one going for juniper. They are iconic trees to Scotland and people
:05:34. > :05:40.will notice if we lose the trees. If you read the headlines, it is
:05:40. > :05:47.doom and gloom, how bad is it? is not good news. We plant esh
:05:47. > :05:52.because everybody because everyone knows it as a native species. In
:05:52. > :05:59.this landscape we have silver birch. You love what you do, that's plain
:05:59. > :06:04.to see. How optimistic are you about the future? I'm optimistic
:06:04. > :06:08.about it. Diseases have existed longer than we have and you know...
:06:08. > :06:14.Tree also survive? Trees will survive and they have to sur vifz
:06:14. > :06:19.and we have -- survive and we have to get more of them in the ground.
:06:19. > :06:24.Which ones aren't dying? Which ones are resistant? Let's plant for
:06:24. > :06:28.trees so we are covered for things like this. There are plenty more
:06:28. > :06:32.tree that is can go in. It is impossible to imagine the
:06:32. > :06:40.British countryside without trees, but it may already be too late for
:06:40. > :06:43.Well, Lucy is here to discuss this further. Lucy, there were a lot of
:06:43. > :06:48.people in high places banging their heads together about this and
:06:48. > :06:53.trying to make sure this isn't the end for our forests? As the
:06:53. > :06:58.Environment Secretary, Owen Paterson said now ash dieback is in
:06:58. > :07:02.mature trees, there is no way it can be eradicated from the UK. It
:07:02. > :07:06.is about managing the impact. A lots of people are doing a lot of
:07:06. > :07:09.work. I think every forestry professional, every forestry
:07:09. > :07:15.forestry scientist is probably out there monitoring the trees at the
:07:15. > :07:18.moment and they are using special portable DNA kits to see where it
:07:18. > :07:23.has spread and really the great hope is in the mature trees because
:07:23. > :07:28.some will hopefully be naturally resistant. That's happened in
:07:28. > :07:32.Denmark where they lost 90% of their ash trees and there was
:07:32. > :07:37.resistance in a mine orlt, but -- minority, but we will have ash
:07:37. > :07:45.trees and it is important to remember that. Replant that strain
:07:45. > :07:49.and go from there. We can't have a sample of the the
:07:49. > :07:54.disease in the studio. There is lesions on the bark and
:07:54. > :07:57.that spreads to the leaves and some of the leaves in dramatic cases,
:07:57. > :08:02.they look like they have been burned and it spreads throughout
:08:02. > :08:06.the crown of the tree. It is really dramatic.. And it is about finding
:08:06. > :08:10.out where it has spread to so people at home can help? If we
:08:10. > :08:15.leave it to the scientist, there is not enough of them to see every ash
:08:15. > :08:18.tree. So there are things like phone apps where you can take a
:08:18. > :08:23.picture of what you think is a diseased tree and send it through
:08:23. > :08:30.to people who are monitoring this. Be vig land and keep an eye on
:08:30. > :08:40.trees in your area. The other thing really to do is to practise what we
:08:40. > :08:43.
:08:43. > :08:45.call really good good good etiquette, don't take any twigs
:08:45. > :08:52.with you and you are supposed to change your boots.
:08:52. > :08:58.We were seeing in the film, Neil, how important trees are are for you
:08:58. > :09:04.in Colorado in your ranch? I have got a small ranch and and these
:09:04. > :09:08.diseases go through the pine tree ins Colorado. I know how careful
:09:08. > :09:14.you have to be and how heartbreaking it is to lose trees.
:09:14. > :09:17.So... Yeah, it is heartbreaking. People Feel very, very strongly
:09:17. > :09:22.about it. It is part of our landscape.
:09:22. > :09:27.You are going to start creating a new woodland for us tomorrow?
:09:27. > :09:31.we are going to be up in Wrexham tomorrow. We need to keep planting
:09:31. > :09:35.them so we don't have all our eggs in one basket.
:09:35. > :09:42.Lucy to the rescue! You can You can find details on how
:09:42. > :09:47.to spot and log ash dieback on our our website:
:09:47. > :09:51.Are you ready to be rocked? AUDIENCE: Yes!
:09:51. > :09:58.From living room to say stadiums across the world, the Marshall amp
:09:58. > :10:04.has been the essential kit for any aspiring rock god and Matt
:10:04. > :10:13.Allwright. This is a story about genius, inspiration, great British
:10:13. > :10:18.engineering and a man who made things louder, Jim Marshall.
:10:18. > :10:23.Ah, Jimi Hendrix, it was Jim Marshall's amplifiers that helped
:10:23. > :10:31.make some of the music legends so distinctive, he gave them what they
:10:31. > :10:37.wanted. The biggest sound President Obama.
:10:37. > :10:42.-- --ted biggest sound possible. His amplifyication empire had
:10:42. > :10:49.humble beginnings way back in 1962. The magic all began here in the
:10:49. > :10:59.back room of a tiny shop on the Uxbridge Road in West London.
:10:59. > :11:08.It is now a a barber shop. You have got Eric Clapton, Ronnie
:11:08. > :11:16.Wood, Pete Pete Townsend hanging around the shop talking about music.
:11:16. > :11:20.We were all stumbling on distortion, create ago long sound from the
:11:20. > :11:27.guitar and it happened around that time that Jim Marshall opened a
:11:27. > :11:36.music shop and we decided to make the loudest amplifiers.
:11:36. > :11:40.They started creating a prototype amplifier. They would say, "Don't
:11:40. > :11:44.touch anything. Just plug it in here and tell me what you think.".
:11:44. > :11:49.This meeting of minds resulted in a sound different to that of the
:11:49. > :11:54.clean, polite hi-fi of the 50s and early 60s. There is a particular
:11:54. > :11:59.thing that you are doing in that box to make that sound, what is it?
:11:59. > :12:04.Marshalls are built around valves. There is an electrical signal that
:12:04. > :12:07.comes out of the guitar and valves create harmonics and we get a vocal
:12:07. > :12:11.sound and it is the voice that the guitarist can use to connect with
:12:11. > :12:16.the audience. And big audiences, filling bigger
:12:16. > :12:20.venues, needed bigger sound so Jim hit on the idea of stacking speaker
:12:20. > :12:27.cabinets which meant everyone could hear, even the poor sold people at
:12:27. > :12:32.the back, the Marshall stack was born and became an icon at 70s and
:12:32. > :12:37.80s stadium rock'n'roll putting up with heavy duty handling.
:12:37. > :12:41.It is the greatest amplifyication that has been thought of and built
:12:41. > :12:48.by one man. It is everything in the kitchen
:12:48. > :12:53.sink and that's what keeps going across row 20, row 20,000.
:12:53. > :12:59.The story was you could drop one off the back of a van and it would
:12:59. > :13:04.work. REPORTER: Have you tried that?
:13:04. > :13:09.personally, no. Jim's collaboration with rock
:13:09. > :13:10.legends continued and Marshalls played their part in what has
:13:11. > :13:18.become the ultimate rock band par day.
:13:18. > :13:24.The numbers go to 11. Look, right across-the-board. 11, 11, 11.
:13:24. > :13:27.the amps go up to 10. Does that mean it is louder? Well, it is one
:13:27. > :13:31.louder. And this is Marshall now. The
:13:31. > :13:41.headquarters in Milton Keynes, from here amplifiers are sent over the
:13:41. > :13:42.
:13:42. > :13:49.world. One found its way to me! Let's Meet her. Marsha.
:13:49. > :13:51.50 years on and although he has passed away, Jim's craftsmanship
:13:51. > :13:57.and quality lives on. Quality is so important to the
:13:57. > :14:01.company. The wood is all hand sanded and dad used to insist on
:14:01. > :14:07.signing the inside of cabinets by the person who finishes them.
:14:07. > :14:12.Is this the best job in the world? It is not a bad job at all.
:14:12. > :14:16.Anything wrong with this one? Growing up, dad was hard-working.
:14:16. > :14:20.He was passionate about the job, but he was a family man. What dad
:14:20. > :14:30.did, of course, I am proud. He created this Marshall family and
:14:30. > :14:32.
:14:32. > :14:38.If there was one word that sums up the genius of Jim Marshall it's
:14:38. > :14:47.feedback. Eknew how to listen to the musicians around him and give
:14:47. > :14:52.them what they wanted - feedback. Neil, what does the sight of a
:14:52. > :14:58.Marshall amp do to you? It puts fear into me, because the volume
:14:58. > :15:03.that you can generate from a Marshall is overwhelming and if
:15:03. > :15:10.you're playing a large venue or arena or a festival, you want that,
:15:10. > :15:18.but you have to be very careful with it. You have been recording
:15:18. > :15:23.for over five decades. How did you decide what songs to put on the
:15:23. > :15:28.Very Best of Neil Diamond? I was lucky enough with this album to
:15:28. > :15:35.convince the four different labels that they were recorded for to put
:15:35. > :15:42.all the original versions - the studio versions - on the album. Up
:15:42. > :15:49.to now they each kept them and put them out, so these are the original
:15:49. > :15:54.studio cuts that go way back. There are 23 songs on it and for me it's
:15:54. > :15:58.a voyage down memory lane. Play the recording and it just takes me
:15:58. > :16:03.right back to the time that I was recording it. It's an amazing
:16:03. > :16:11.experience. Was it quite difficult to know in which order to put the
:16:11. > :16:16.songs? Was that important? Well, it was. I tried to put them in
:16:16. > :16:21.chronological order. In some cases I got it right. In some cases I
:16:21. > :16:26.made some little changes, just so they worked a little better in the
:16:26. > :16:34.sequencing, but sequencing is very important. You are always appealing
:16:34. > :16:42.to new audiences. We have a brill iant moment from glassbury in 2008.
:16:42. > :16:50.What -- gloss onbury in 2008. -- Glastonbury in 2008. What a sight
:16:50. > :17:00.this is. Are you going to help me out with this, or what? Here we go.
:17:00. > :17:01.
:17:01. > :17:11.# Sweet Caroline # Good times never seemed so blue
:17:11. > :17:14.
:17:14. > :17:19.# I'm feeling fine # To believe it's never true... #
:17:19. > :17:24.That was brilliant. I've never seen that before. You attracted a whole
:17:24. > :17:27.new generation of fans there. well, that too, but just seeing
:17:27. > :17:33.that and singing in front of an audience and having them all having
:17:33. > :17:39.a good time, it's a great feeling. One of the tracks on the album is
:17:39. > :17:46.I'm a Believer, but originally it was a hit for the Monkees when you
:17:46. > :17:50.first wrote it and that had an impact on your career? It did,
:17:50. > :17:57.because - there they are. They sing it well, to be fair. A beautiful
:17:57. > :18:06.version of it. Their record was a hit worldwide and it helped me get
:18:06. > :18:10.my name known worldwide too. I had a song called Cherry Cherry, which
:18:10. > :18:14.was a big hit and following that, they came out with I'm a Believer
:18:14. > :18:19.and that sealed the deal. People knew who I was. It was the
:18:19. > :18:24.beginning of my career. Even before that, you were singing in the high
:18:24. > :18:30.school chorus, with incredibly, Barbara Streisand, so the pair were
:18:30. > :18:35.in the chorus. Who on earth was singing the lead? There were none.
:18:35. > :18:41.I'm sure Barbara would have taken the lead, but those were fun times.
:18:41. > :18:48.I didn't know Barbara. There were 100 voices in the choir. She was 15
:18:48. > :18:56.years old. I was 16. We reminisce about it years later, because the
:18:56. > :19:00.conductor of the chorus was a very posh, Italian man and all the women
:19:01. > :19:06.in the chorus were in love with him and all of the boys were in
:19:06. > :19:14.horrible fear of him, because if you sang a wrong note or you didn't
:19:14. > :19:24.come in beautifully, you would be scalped. We both remember him.
:19:24. > :19:26.
:19:26. > :19:29.pair of you are on the album. The album is out on 26th November. It
:19:29. > :19:34.was announced that the Government will force energy companies into
:19:34. > :19:37.offering just four tariffs to customers by 2014, so in the
:19:37. > :19:42.meantime, we sent some families a challenge to cut their energy bills
:19:42. > :19:50.and as we find out, there's more to energy saving than turning off the
:19:50. > :19:54.heating and putting another jumper on. Two families living in the same
:19:54. > :19:59.street in Cardiff in the same type of house, with the same big energy
:19:59. > :20:03.bills. Both families have taken some steps to make their homes more
:20:03. > :20:07.energy efficient, but could they be doing even more to save money?
:20:07. > :20:13.Could a few little lifestyle changes reduce the amount they pay
:20:13. > :20:17.for gas and electricity? Time for a One Show experiment. We have asked
:20:17. > :20:22.experts from the Energy Saving Trust to check that the two homes
:20:22. > :20:27.are equally energy efficient and we have recorded the families'
:20:27. > :20:32.consumption over seven days. Our first family are the Griffiths.
:20:32. > :20:37.They use �38 every week, so what do they spend their money on? A hot
:20:37. > :20:43.shower. I tumble a lot of clothes to cut down on ironing. Are they up
:20:43. > :20:47.for our energy-saving challenge? Yeah. Yes. We are excited. Which
:20:47. > :20:52.will be the hardest bit? Now the weather's colder, it's feeling the
:20:52. > :20:59.cold if we have to turn down the heating. The neighbours, the
:20:59. > :21:05.Rutherfords, use �31 in a normal week. I hate being cold, but it's
:21:05. > :21:09.using the tumble dryer to get rid of the damp clothes and the washing
:21:09. > :21:14.machine. It will be fun trying to make everybody change their
:21:14. > :21:19.behaviour - switching off light, that sort of thing, and switching
:21:19. > :21:24.off CDs and televisions. Can they use less than them lot over the
:21:24. > :21:28.road? We'll put on two extra jumpers. We'll beat them. We like a
:21:28. > :21:33.challenge. The families will compete to see who can save the
:21:33. > :21:39.most energy. The man has a few tips for them. The average house can
:21:39. > :21:44.save �50 to �80 by turning things off stand-by a year. The term
:21:44. > :21:51.statistic, turning it down one degree. You might -- thermostat,
:21:51. > :21:56.turning it down one degree. You might feel a bit chilly. You'll
:21:56. > :22:02.save yourself money with a shower timer. Four minutes is enough to
:22:02. > :22:07.wash anybody, male or female. Family washing machine. You can use
:22:07. > :22:12.30 degrees, so wherever you can 30 degrees and keep the load full.
:22:12. > :22:16.Tumble dryer. You can use it, but when you can, try to avoid it.
:22:16. > :22:23.Kettle, fill it up with water, but don't fill it too full. Just enough
:22:23. > :22:28.for what you need it for. Non- energy efficient lightbulb. Change
:22:28. > :22:34.it. Duncan is impressed that both families have already saved money
:22:34. > :22:39.by saving supplier and home improvements The wall instalation
:22:39. > :22:44.and loft instalation that can save a house like this �416 a year.
:22:44. > :22:48.challenge to make further savings is on. As the families start their
:22:48. > :22:52.low-energy lifestyle week we ask them to keep a video diary. Quick,
:22:52. > :22:55.everybody, jumpers on. We have turned the thermostat down. It's
:22:55. > :22:59.been a little colder. The biggest shock is getting out of bed,
:22:59. > :23:03.because you notice it then. temperature is not getting up high
:23:03. > :23:07.enough to dry the clothes and they've been hanging wet for two,
:23:07. > :23:11.whole days. Over the road, the message is turn it down, switch it
:23:12. > :23:16.off. The hall, landing, maybe the kitchen, livingroom or diningroom,
:23:16. > :23:21.the light is left on accidently and we keep reminding each other to
:23:21. > :23:27.switch them off. I'm really cold. I want a bath, but I have to have a
:23:27. > :23:31.shower. Four-minute shower, yeah! The week is over. Time for me to do
:23:31. > :23:34.a final check on the metres and reveal how much the families have
:23:34. > :23:43.cut off their bills. Remember, before they started this challenge,
:23:43. > :23:53.they were spending between �31 and �38 per week on gas and electricity.
:23:53. > :23:54.
:23:54. > :24:03.You've used �12.74 less. Good grief. You've done even better and saved
:24:03. > :24:07.�14.99. I really expected to knock a couple of quid off, but not
:24:07. > :24:12.anything like that. I'll carry on knowing it's costing that amount of
:24:12. > :24:17.money to just have many some light on that you don't need. That's it,
:24:17. > :24:21.we're converted. We have calculated the family would save �500 every
:24:21. > :24:25.year, now, that's definitely worth turning your light off for. And I'm
:24:25. > :24:30.now here in the studio with the families. Both horrified to see
:24:30. > :24:37.their houses on television. But Neil, are you still competing there
:24:37. > :24:42.in the competition? Not now, no. Hopefully we'll keep on saving.
:24:42. > :24:46.What kind of things are you continuing with? Everything we
:24:46. > :24:52.started doing that week. It's just a little less frantic. I don't get
:24:52. > :24:56.quite as stressed if the landing light are still on. Fiona, how
:24:56. > :25:01.about you? Is it hard not to use the dishwasher? It's quite
:25:01. > :25:04.difficult, but I'm doing my best and trying to wash up by hand.
:25:04. > :25:09.Switch off the light whenever possible. What we have done is take
:25:09. > :25:13.out a lot of light bulbs. We have a lot of fittings that have many
:25:13. > :25:17.bulbs, because we moved into a house that needed renovating and
:25:17. > :25:22.that's made a big difference, because we need one bulb to light a
:25:22. > :25:26.room. I bet you notice a big difference on the street? That's
:25:26. > :25:30.right, the two houses are the darkest by far. Everyone else has
:25:30. > :25:34.the light blazing. We look quite dark, but we're using the light in
:25:34. > :25:38.the room we are in. Have you talked about Christmas light? Oh, no,
:25:38. > :25:42.that's a good point. I don't know what we'll do. Every other light.
:25:42. > :25:47.That's a good idea. Are you still having the four-minute showers?
:25:47. > :25:54.Going all right? Yes. Alex was horrified as the thought of that.
:25:55. > :25:59.Neil, how long do you spend in the shower? Hours! I tell you, you
:25:59. > :26:04.don't think you'll be welcome around these houses. Thank you both
:26:05. > :26:10.for coming in. As Neil pointed out, did you, saving energy, but don't
:26:10. > :26:14.turn the show off right now. If the word supersize makes you think of
:26:14. > :26:18.huge burgers, a new BBC series is asking you this think again. Look
:26:18. > :26:28.at this. Today, I'll join the team whose job it is to clean the
:26:28. > :26:41.
:26:41. > :26:48.outside of a -- of the world's highest windows. Do you get nervous
:26:48. > :26:54.at all? Yes. I haven't looked down yet. Now, I've looked down. Dallas
:26:54. > :26:58.is with us now. Welcome. Thank you. As well as proving that you've got
:26:58. > :27:03.quite a good head for heights, what else can we learn? Well, not that
:27:03. > :27:10.good a head actually. That was one of the most terrifying things I've
:27:10. > :27:13.ever done. It's kind of a snapshot of the modern world. The way that
:27:13. > :27:19.human beings live on the planet has just changed radically in our
:27:19. > :27:23.lifetime, so the way we now build faster and higher and we have
:27:23. > :27:28.shrunk the world with the way we build transport networks, so we've
:27:28. > :27:32.been around the world looking at the scale and ambition of some of
:27:32. > :27:37.the engineering projects that have facilitated this change. You see
:27:37. > :27:40.from that clip, that in telling the story I've been involved in some
:27:40. > :27:45.pretty hair-raising adventures. Including your search for the
:27:45. > :27:53.tallest building starts at Lincoln Cathedral? Who knew that the
:27:53. > :27:57.tallest building in the world was that for 4,000 years. The great
:27:57. > :28:02.pyramid was the tallest until this came along in the Middle Ages, but
:28:02. > :28:09.I wonder if they ever knew. It used to have a big spire on top, which
:28:09. > :28:14.made it the tallest building, but that's gone. I wonder about the guy
:28:14. > :28:19.who was originally putting the little pit on the top and wondered
:28:19. > :28:23.if this was the tallest building. Techniques have sped up a bit since
:28:23. > :28:28.then. We have a clip of you in China. Here you are. Tell us what
:28:28. > :28:34.is happening here. This is incredible. We hear a lot about
:28:34. > :28:39.China and about the progress that goes on, but these guys can build a
:28:39. > :28:43.fully functioning skyskyscaper, 15 storeys, earthquake-proof in two
:28:43. > :28:48.weeks. They can knock that up in two weeks. If you had the builders
:28:48. > :28:53.in at home, and they're taking too long, look at this. New York as
:28:53. > :28:58.well. Do you have a favourite building? The Empire State Building
:28:58. > :29:03.took eleven months to build and -- but I'm impressed if they can build
:29:03. > :29:09.that in two weeks. It tames more time than that to get Chinese take-
:29:10. > :29:16.out. Much less to put a building up. We filmed a lot in New York. My
:29:16. > :29:20.first experience with big buildings was New York. You would think it
:29:20. > :29:26.was the home of skyscrapers, but we're all looking to the East and
:29:26. > :29:32.China and the Middle East. Yes. Thank you very much. The programme
:29:32. > :29:38.starts tomorrow night on BBC One at 8pm. Thank you to Neil and his at
:29:38. > :29:40.bum is out on 26th November. Thank you -- album is out on 26th
:29:41. > :29:43.November. Thank you. We'll be talking to the Rolling Stones on
:29:43. > :29:47.Friday. We want to hear your stories about them. Do you have a
:29:47. > :29:52.link with the band? Does their music mean something to you or do
