What a start! Welcome to your intergalactic midweek the one Show | :00:21. | :00:33. | |
with Matt Smith. That makes me Tom Baker. If you ever wondered what the | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
theme tune would sound like if the Radiophonic Workshop got their hands | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
on it, now you know. They are the boffins who brought the original | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
Doctor Who theme tune and they will perform a special version in the | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
studio a little bit later. Here to enjoy it with us are two actors who | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
played pivotal roles in the drama surrounding the 50th anniversary, it | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
is the mysterious Dark Doctor, John Hurt, and Jenna Coleman. Welcome. | :01:00. | :01:07. | |
John, are you enjoying all of this fuss? It is a lot more than I | :01:08. | :01:15. | |
thought. I did not know everybody was called Whovians. I am living and | :01:16. | :01:25. | |
learning. I had no idea it was going to be as big as this. I thought it | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
had a cult status, I did not realise it had gone mainstream to the degree | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
it has. 84 different countries, all simultaneous. They are going to see | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
it in their pyjamas industry earlier. UK minute of it -- you came | :01:38. | :01:45. | |
in at the perfect time. Yes, that might have been a bit cunning. We | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
will dig deeper. And you have a new Doctor in the form of Peter | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
Capaldi. Had you shown him around the TARDIS? Yes, he has arrived, he | :01:55. | :02:02. | |
has regenerated, he is in the building. You have acted with him, | :02:03. | :02:10. | |
is it strange? Totally surreal. He arrives in the costume and we carry | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
on. To use the unfaithful? Totally. But what it really feels like is | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
incredibly sad and then you do a scene with the new Doctor and it | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
feels totally different. They are separate. That is how I justify it. | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
Is he good? Of course he is. I don't want to say too much, but he has | :02:36. | :02:44. | |
arrived. In another first, Gyles Brandredth is actually live from the | :02:45. | :02:52. | |
TARDIS. Are you there? I am here, live in the TARDIS, and it is | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
awesome. Tonight I am going to meet the man Doctor Who fans called the | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
great Mosque, Steven Moffat, the creator of Sherlock and the chief | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
scriptwriter for Doctor Who. What questions I going to ask him? Ideas | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
will be gratefully received. I need to go. He has just put the kettle | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
on. Water line that is, am live from the TARDIS. If you have a question | :03:20. | :03:26. | |
for Steven Moffat, e-mail them in by 7:15pm. It is not all Doctor Who | :03:27. | :03:36. | |
tonight. Adam Hills, the world's funniest Australian. Very nice to | :03:37. | :03:45. | |
see you. First, if you are a driver who thinks the combination of bus | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
lanes and traffic cameras might be there to do more than just speed up | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
the traffic, this film might confirm your suspicions. We report from the | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
city that generates more fine than any other. In 2012, over 980,000 | :03:57. | :04:06. | |
people were fined by local authorities for entering them. The | :04:07. | :04:13. | |
bus lane. Across Britain, some councils have taken over bus lane | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
enforcement from the police. Here in Glasgow, 153,000 drivers were issued | :04:18. | :04:25. | |
with fines last year. Who is crossing the line? The motorist or | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
the local authority? Some Glasgow motorists are calling for a little | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
common sense to be applied. Gordon was fined twice whilst trying to | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
park here. He appealed the second time and was victorious. You can see | :04:40. | :04:48. | |
the parking spaces, and there is a bus lane between them, you need to | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
cross it in order to get a parking space. That is essentially what I | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
did and I was fined for that. I appealed to the Council and they | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
rejected it, because they said I should have accessed the parking | :05:00. | :05:07. | |
space from two lanes away. It seems dangerous. It also seems | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
impossible. Unless you drive Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The signing can be | :05:13. | :05:22. | |
an issue. Dave was fined when driving four times across the same | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
road before he realised it was a 24-hour bus lane. If they had a sign | :05:26. | :05:32. | |
saying it was 24 hours, or any time, I would not have gone into it. In | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
your mind, it definitely wasn't clear. It is not clear enough. | :05:36. | :05:43. | |
People would get caught very easily. I am from Edinburgh, where every | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
single time has got signs on it. It says it is a bus lane but no times. | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
That is the reason I thought it was legal to go into it. There is a car | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
that has just gone into the bus lane, potentially he will get | :05:58. | :06:05. | |
fined. 44,000 drivers have been smeared on this stretch of road in | :06:06. | :06:12. | |
the last 18 months. Motorist associations are very concerned with | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
the enormity of these figures. What would you suggest the council does? | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
The council needs to listen to the motorists who are using the streets | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
of Glasgow, and secondly, do a review of the locations, such as | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
Glassford Street, where we have real causes for concern. Glasgow tops the | :06:32. | :06:40. | |
league table for bus fines in Britain. It brought the Council for | :06:41. | :06:48. | |
million pounds last year. Are you the bus lane find capital of | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
Britain? It is not an accolade we want. We are at the moment but we | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
would hope to drop down that table as quickly as possible. You are on | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
course for less than last year but it is still a significant amount, | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
isn't it? Yes, it is unfortunate but there is evidence that driver | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
behaviour is changing and people are responding. Each one of these | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
infringements is caught on camera, and the team that process them will | :07:18. | :07:24. | |
view the footage before a fine is issued. If they can see that people | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
have legitimately been trying to enter a parking space, without | :07:29. | :07:36. | |
driving in a bus lane, an infringement notice will not be | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
issued. How can you justify the figure in Glasgow being so much | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
higher than any other city in Britain? I don't think I can give a | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
definite explanation. The council has no interest in fining drivers, | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
and the message from Glasgow is do not cross the line and you will | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
avoid the find. Glasgow City Council also said two thirds rely on public | :08:00. | :08:06. | |
transport, so bus lanes are important to improve journey times. | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
They also claim the money that they raise is reinvested in public | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
transport across the city. With our roads easier than ever and with | :08:17. | :08:23. | |
three councils in Scotland and 60 in England and Wales running bustling | :08:24. | :08:30. | |
schemes, avoiding the fine might be a difficult road to navigate. -- bus | :08:31. | :08:39. | |
lane schemes. You know everything about the bus lanes, don't you? I | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
do. Most people avoid them at that is not the idea. We will move on. | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
This Saturday sees a special anniversary episode, the return of | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
everybody's favourite Time Lord, this time, in triplicate. Three | :08:55. | :09:05. | |
Doctors at once. It will be a special event. This is an exclusive | :09:06. | :09:06. | |
clip. Hello? Somebody there? It is | :09:07. | :09:29. | |
nothing. It is Billie Piper! What a garden | :09:30. | :09:51. | |
shed. Can you tell us any more? Good God, no! Wait and see, it is not | :09:52. | :09:58. | |
very long. When the BBC show this on Saturday, it is 50 years to the day | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
since the first episode of Doctor Who went out. Where will you be | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
watching it? We will be together. We will be watching it at the BFI. With | :10:10. | :10:17. | |
our 3-D goggles on. Ira member watching it when William Hartnell | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
was in it. The scenery used to shake. -- I remember. It was the | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
cheapest show ever made. This is a little bit better. We heard that | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
this really stretched due as an actor. Is it right that this is one | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
of the hardest roles you have played? It is really difficult | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
stuff. I take my hat off to David Tennant and Matt Smith. Why? It is | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
full of what you could call scientific staff, it is very | :10:47. | :10:54. | |
difficult to learn. -- scientific staff. They have it down to a | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
science. Did you find that quite daunting? There is a lot of baggage. | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
The role of the companion is very different in that sense. For me, for | :11:06. | :11:13. | |
the Doctor, it is him knowing all the scientific jargon, speaking as | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
if he is talking about walking down to the shops. Two different for the | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
role of the companion. But I had a couple of lines like that, and it | :11:23. | :11:31. | |
down -- takes ages. You can get it down but it goes out very quickly. | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
At the end of the clip we saw the return of Billie Piper. David | :11:36. | :11:44. | |
Tennant is also back. How was it to act with these past members? Was it | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
overwhelming? It was great, it was nice to have a gang of us, and loads | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
of a spare over a period of time. Normally it is people coming in and | :11:56. | :12:03. | |
out. You did not get too promiscuous? I had one scene where I | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
had to work with the three Doctors. All three of them moved their heads | :12:08. | :12:14. | |
at once. The sight of them, it was a bit weird. This is the thing, I | :12:15. | :12:21. | |
cannot work out if you are a Doctor. I am, but they are all the same man. | :12:22. | :12:31. | |
It is rather more important. There was a lot of speculation at the end | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
of the last episode, because you turned around. It was like, he is | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
going to be the next Doctor. Were you tempted? That was never mooted | :12:42. | :12:49. | |
as an idea. Economic have 13. You will know this. So Matt Smith is | :12:50. | :12:57. | |
number 11. Yes. Peter is number 12, then what happens? Steven Moffat is | :12:58. | :13:04. | |
a very clever person and he will sign up so there is another 50 | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
years. You could have that question. Hold that thought. We see | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
David Tennant, Billie Piper, these different people, there is also the | :13:15. | :13:21. | |
Zygons, who make an appearance. Back in the 1970s. This is what they look | :13:22. | :13:29. | |
like. Quite grumpy, and here they are today. He looks quite friendly. | :13:30. | :13:40. | |
He is not friendly. They are not the only villains from the 70s, we have | :13:41. | :13:42. | |
some Cybermen. The Radiophonic Workshop are in | :13:43. | :14:03. | |
their element. If you want to know more about the history of John's | :14:04. | :14:06. | |
factor, press the red atom straight after the show for a look at the | :14:07. | :14:18. | |
critical sowed, this card. As the winter starts to bite, it was | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
snowing today in Northumberland, north Wales and North Yorkshire, and | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
the medical director of the NHS in England has admitted that many A | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
units are struggling to cope. In a moment he will tell as his plans to | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
reduce waiting times. But first, Justin Rowlatt has spent 12 hours at | :14:39. | :14:46. | |
a hospital in Nottinghamshire. It is almost midnight at Queen 's medical | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
centre, part of Nottingham University Hospital NHS trust. It is | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
one of the busiest A in Britain. This man has just come in, he has | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
been in a head-on collision, at 45mph, broken his leg, with possibly | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
internal injuries as well. I will be here until two o'clock in the | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
morning. During that time, the doctors and nurses expects to have | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
about 300 people through the door. Over the next 3-5 years, Bruce Keogh | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
wants certain A units to become more focused on dealing with major | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
traumas like strokes and heart attacks. This hospital will be one | :15:24. | :15:36. | |
of them. Tonight, I am following the work of the lead consultant, who has | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
been dealing with the man injured in the car crash. We had to make sure | :15:41. | :15:49. | |
his airway, breathing, circulation, consciousness, were OK. He has got | :15:50. | :15:57. | |
an obvious fracture to his right femur. Show he has broken his leg? | :15:58. | :16:04. | |
Most likely. Demand is already high here, and with winter approaching, | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
it is going to get even higher. Numbers coming to this A have | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
increased every year for the last three years. Does it worry you | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
seeing these ever-increasing numbers coming in? Of this leak increases | :16:16. | :16:23. | |
the workload, but we need to make sure -- obviously -- that we can | :16:24. | :16:31. | |
cover it with teamwork. A huge extra effort is needed? Yes. Every night | :16:32. | :16:39. | |
there are 15 nurses and two doctors on duty in this A Charlotte is | :16:40. | :16:46. | |
one of the staff nurses. Every day has its ups and downs but it has | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
been reasonable so far today. To my eyes, it is pretty calm at the | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
moment. This is pretty calm this area can be pretty full of patients | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
as well. Down the corridor, in the waiting room is a man who has had a | :17:01. | :17:06. | |
clash of heads playing football. One of the guys had a look at it and | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
said, we probably need to get it sorted out, but it was just after | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
nine o'clock, and the walk-in centre shuts at nine o'clock. He said, you | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
might need a couple of stitches. Minor injuries make up a large | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
percentage of the workload, it is the area which gets busiest the | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
quickest. How are things going today? The Department is slightly | :17:29. | :17:35. | |
busy but we are on top of it at the moment. I am working at the moment | :17:36. | :17:38. | |
in the initial assessment unit. On average, fewer than 10% of A | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
patients here could have been dealt with by other NHS services. Based on | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
the numbers here today, that is about 50 people. The national figure | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
for England is much higher, it is one in four. Have you been sick? Any | :17:54. | :18:02. | |
problems with your vision? It is now time for Phil to get treatment for | :18:03. | :18:11. | |
his eye. Does this just dissolve? Acts like a scab, essentially. You | :18:12. | :18:19. | |
need to keep it clear for five days. Fielded the right thing in coming to | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
A, but a lot of people don't. They come to places like this when they | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
should be guide to see their GP, which piles on the pressure. We have | :18:28. | :18:34. | |
seen roughly 400 patients. Even though this is actually only | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
designed for 350. Yes, but regularly we have more than 400 patients, and | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
at weekends, it can be 550. So, the numbers are going up year-on-year - | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
presumably there comes a point at which the hospital will not be able | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
to deal with it. Obviously there are some patients which can be dealt in | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
primary care. It is a lot to do with education also. We have got a lot in | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
place at the moment. And that is exactly what this hospital is | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
telling patients when it is right to come here and when it is not. So, | :19:12. | :19:17. | |
Phil, how was that, no stitches and Ahern no, just glue. You got in here | :19:18. | :19:33. | |
really good. Bruce Keogh's plans to ease congestion in the NHS are wide | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
ranging, but hospitals like this say that if the proposals for A units | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
are going to work, patience also have to play their part. They must | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
only going to A when they really need to. Justin Rowlatt joins us | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
now, along with Bruce Keogh, the medical director of the NHS. So, 12 | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
hours you were there, in general, what were your impressions? I was | :19:57. | :20:04. | |
expecting it to be quite noisy. It is a stereotype, I was expecting | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
people to be screaming and shouting, and people running through, heart | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
attacks happening and stuff like that. Actually it was very calm. The | :20:12. | :20:17. | |
patients were calm but the doctors and nurses were very calm as well. I | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
was very impressed, I have to say. What really came out was just how | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
many people are going to A That unit is designed for 350 people, and | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
they are regularly getting 550, even 600. But just on the front line, | :20:31. | :20:38. | |
only two doctors? But then they bring in other experts from the rest | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
of the hospital. The guy who had broken his leg, they got an | :20:43. | :20:45. | |
orthopaedic surgeon in from upstairs will stop things look quite calm | :20:46. | :20:51. | |
there are, as you say, but what are the issues which are affecting the | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
NHS across the UK? In terms of A, the big issue is this increase in | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
demand, with more people seeming to be going to A, partly because they | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
find it difficult to see their GP, partly because they telephone 111, | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
and they have a list of questions, and in the end, they say, if you are | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
in any doubt, go to A There is also a cultural change. Our parents | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
and grandparents sat and suffered, so people are more likely to go than | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
they used to be. The NHS reckons a quarter of people in A should not | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
be there. I have used these walk-in centres white a lot for my children | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
in the early hours of the morning, but they have closed now, why is | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
that? A small handful have closed. We are looking into that. One thing | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
which is quite new to us is that they do help to keep people out of | :21:46. | :21:52. | |
A And we have put a vision in place for the way we think we can | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
deal with the growing pressure on A over the coming years. Firstly, | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
we want to provide a much closer service to people. Unless we can put | :22:00. | :22:12. | |
a better offer to people, outside A, they will continue to go | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
there. So, we are asking GPs to take the much closer role in looking | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
after elderly and frail people at home and to provide better urgent | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
services. We are going to beef up the 111 service. It got off to a bit | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
of a rocky start. Haitians have told us they would like to be able to | :22:31. | :22:42. | |
talk to a clinician -- agents -- and secondly, if needs be, they would | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
like that person to make an appointment for them to see their GP | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
or their specialist next day. The next thing we are doing is... It is | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
sometimes hard to get an appointment with a GP, because they are so | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
busy, but this will make them even busier? No, I think there are | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
different ways that this can be delivered. We are not necessarily | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
talking about GPs specifically, because we are talking about the | :23:08. | :23:10. | |
services offered within the GP facility, which may include nurses | :23:11. | :23:17. | |
or physiotherapists and lots of other people who can deal with some | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
of the more simple problems. The other issue is the difficulty you | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
have in recruiting doctors to work in A, with 50% of training places | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
vacant? Since I have been medical director, we have increased the | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
number of A consultants over 300, we have doubled the number of | :23:38. | :23:40. | |
trainees. The recruitment was down for a couple of years, it has | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
climbed up this year, so I think that looks very positive. But it | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
does take a long time to train an A two. Even if we recruit well | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
this year, it will be some years before we see the benefits. That is | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
why we need to engage other people, such as other consultants in the | :24:01. | :24:03. | |
hospitals and nurses and paramedics, utilising them more. Of the 999 | :24:04. | :24:09. | |
calls which are made, 50% of those can be dealt with at the scene, in | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
people's homes. We have got paramedics were fantastically | :24:16. | :24:18. | |
skilled and talented, and for much of their lives, we use them just to | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
transport patients from one place to another, whereas, when we are really | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
in desperate trouble, that's a really bad accident, we trust them | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
with our lives, so we must use them better. We will be asking our | :24:32. | :24:37. | |
audience whether they think A has got to, worse, or stayed the same | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
over the last five years, so what would your answer be? I would say it | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
has got much better, it has become a victim of its own success, meaning | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
more people are going to it. The aim of the vision which colleagues and | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
myself have put out to the NHS for public debate over the last week has | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
been to see if we can provide a better offer outside so that we | :25:00. | :25:06. | |
improve the NHS as a whole. So, we want to know what you think in your | :25:07. | :25:13. | |

later in the show. We will be speaking to Australian funnyman Adam | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
Hills in a moment, after a new take on the north-south divide. It | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
involves a very special dolphin with a white beak, which, as Miranda has | :26:01. | :26:07. | |
discovered, is on the move. Off the coast of Lyme Regis in Dorset, there | :26:08. | :26:10. | |
has been a surprising discovery. Until recently, they were only found | :26:11. | :26:19. | |
in our northern seas, because the white-beaked dolphins like really | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
cold water. But that has all changed, because they have been | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
spotted just down there. When the Marine life team here discovered | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
white-beaked dolphins in Lyme Bay, it was an amazing find. It has | :26:34. | :26:37. | |
turned out to be the most southerly population in Europe. Lyme Bay is | :26:38. | :26:45. | |
unique in all sorts of ways. It has always been a very good fishing | :26:46. | :26:49. | |
area. That is an important reason. The key factor for white-beaked | :26:50. | :26:52. | |
dolphins is that the sea temperatures needs to be quite cool. | :26:53. | :26:59. | |
Anything more than 18 centigrade, they are very unlikely to be here. | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
They much prefer 13-14d. There is a lot we do not yet know about them, | :27:05. | :27:07. | |
which is why we are doing this research. It has been tricky to | :27:08. | :27:12. | |
calculate their numbers, largely because up until now they have only | :27:13. | :27:15. | |
relied on visual sightings. But this year, for the first time, the team | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
have a new gadget, an underwater microphone which can detect old | :27:21. | :27:26. | |
friends from about a kilometre away. Can you talk me through what is | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
happening? You are looking at the click detected on the main screen, | :27:32. | :27:36. | |
which is picking up on any sounds in the ocean. At the moment this is | :27:37. | :27:41. | |
just background noise. If we pick up a porpoise or a dolphin, it will put | :27:42. | :27:45. | |
a red triangle on there, and then we can rush out and try and spot it. | :27:46. | :27:51. | |
Normally, a red triangle indicates a harbour porpoise, but the higher | :27:52. | :27:53. | |
frequency calls of the white-beaked dolphins give the same results, so | :27:54. | :27:57. | |
now we just have to wait to see if a red triangle appears, and hope it is | :27:58. | :28:01. | |
a dolphin. But I am not holding my breath. I have tried on several | :28:02. | :28:05. | |
occasions to see white-beaked dolphins in the UK. So far I have | :28:06. | :28:09. | |
had zero success. If I actually see them today, it will be a real first. | :28:10. | :28:15. | |
I will be very, very excited. For six long hours, there is neither | :28:16. | :28:21. | |
side nor sound of a dolphin, but just as we are about to give up, we | :28:22. | :28:27. | |
have a reading. We have got a red triangle! Fantastic. But is it | :28:28. | :28:36. | |
dolphins? Not only have we got white-beaked dolphins, but they are | :28:37. | :28:44. | |
right by the boat. We have got three riding on the bowel. It is | :28:45. | :28:49. | |
incredible. I have never seen them in the wild before. They are so | :28:50. | :28:54. | |
white, so clear to see. It is just such a brilliant moment. Most | :28:55. | :28:57. | |
white-beaked dolphins have a distinctive white nose. As our | :28:58. | :29:04. | |
underwater footage shows, they have an obvious white or grey patch on | :29:05. | :29:14. | |
their side. They seem very playful. There has been a lot of jumping, | :29:15. | :29:16. | |
playing around. There | :29:17. | 0:22:27 |
