:00:25. > :00:26.Hello and welcome to the One Show with Alex Jones.
:00:27. > :00:30.If you're a fan of Doctor Who, do not go anywhere because tonight's
:00:31. > :00:34.Yes, we are joined by the 12th Time Lord himself!
:00:35. > :00:44.Yes, we are joined by the 12th Time Lord himself! And is. Peter,
:00:45. > :00:54.welcome. Lovely to see you again. When you well? Very good. Have a
:00:55. > :01:00.seat. So you and Jenna Coleman have been raising the milage in the
:01:01. > :01:06.TARDIS. You have been everywhere, promoting the new series. I'm just
:01:07. > :01:11.back from Rio, on Copacabana beach. I think that is South Korea. We were
:01:12. > :01:19.treated like the Beatles. This looks like Mexico. We have sombreros on.
:01:20. > :01:23.And TARDIS came with you, nice to have your accommodation. And in
:01:24. > :01:28.which country was the reaction most extreme? In every country, it was
:01:29. > :01:33.like that. It was absolutely extraordinary. People told me that
:01:34. > :01:38.the show was popular abroad, but you do not imagine it until you step on
:01:39. > :01:44.stage in Mexico with thousands of people going crazy. The same in New
:01:45. > :01:49.York and Rio and Sydney. Sydney was fabulous. They have had Doctor Who
:01:50. > :01:55.since it began but apparently they have never had a current Doctor Who.
:01:56. > :02:00.I'd guess that was a certain amount of anticipation, walking out there,
:02:01. > :02:05.to see the reaction. Luckily, what happened was we would do these
:02:06. > :02:11.events and they would screen the first episode, which goes out on
:02:12. > :02:14.Saturday. So they got to see me. So they thankfully were responding.
:02:15. > :02:18.They seems to quite like me. And will you be sitting down in front of
:02:19. > :02:22.the telly to watch it on Saturday night? Where will you be? I will be
:02:23. > :02:25.at the Empire, Leicester Square. There will be a big screening there.
:02:26. > :02:31.I will be attending that. The traditional place is behind the
:02:32. > :02:35.sofa, of course. To celebrate the launch of the new
:02:36. > :02:37.series, send us your photos of you and the family watching from behind
:02:38. > :02:42.the sofa. Coming up we've got Dan Snow on a
:02:43. > :02:46.gripping air to air mission and 15 First though, Gyles has an
:02:47. > :03:00.'exclusive look behind the scenes', Planning for this epic new series
:03:01. > :03:03.started in 2013. Since then, over 200 people have been working flat
:03:04. > :03:09.out to make this the biggest and best series ever. Last year, Peter
:03:10. > :03:12.Capaldi was announced to the world as the new Doctor. And he is now
:03:13. > :03:15.living his childhood dream. But this is not the first time he has
:03:16. > :03:22.appeared in the show. Five years ago, he got a guest role starring
:03:23. > :03:30.alongside the 10th Doctor. The script came in and I thought, I will
:03:31. > :03:34.just do it. I'd didn't even need to read the script. I love it. I could
:03:35. > :03:38.do this forever. It is a delight. His wish has definitely come true.
:03:39. > :03:42.We caught up with him and his very first read through to see how the
:03:43. > :03:49.job has been going. It seems to have been a long time that I have been
:03:50. > :03:53.the new Doctor Who. People say, how is it going, what is happening, but
:03:54. > :04:00.I have not done anything. It has been seven months of getting on with
:04:01. > :04:05.it. You know who I am in. It is quite an extraordinary position to
:04:06. > :04:11.be in, to say, hello, I am Peter and I am Peter and I'm playing this
:04:12. > :04:15.iconic character who has been around for 50 years. It is difficult to
:04:16. > :04:21.know how to phrase that, other than to say... I am Peter Capaldi and eye
:04:22. > :04:24.and doctor. What an exciting moment. But what did Steven Moffat, the lead
:04:25. > :04:29.writer, think about it? The most exciting thing for me was that it
:04:30. > :04:32.was the very first time we saw him together with Jenna. It was the
:04:33. > :04:38.first time we saw the new team in action. That was properly exciting.
:04:39. > :04:41.The dynamic, it is an unlikely friendship that totally feels
:04:42. > :04:48.natural. That is how I'd feel, that we get on really well like that. A
:04:49. > :04:52.new doctor also means a new costume, which has been a challenge for
:04:53. > :04:56.designer, Howard. I have had nightmare dreams for the past two
:04:57. > :05:03.days. Designing the costume for a brand-new doctor is not easy, but
:05:04. > :05:06.the look is now complete. Fantastic. A great relief. Peter said early on,
:05:07. > :05:10.you realise I will have to wear this for the rest of my life. No
:05:11. > :05:15.pressure(!) I think you looks fantastic. He seems very happy.
:05:16. > :05:20.After trying out the new costume, what does Peter think of the new
:05:21. > :05:25.look? I love it. I love the way that it is very modern but at the same
:05:26. > :05:30.time, it evokes the past. And yet it also propels the new doctor into the
:05:31. > :05:35.future. I love it. It is sharp and minimalist. Everyone will find
:05:36. > :05:40.something different in the look. It will have a 60s feel for some, and
:05:41. > :05:45.Edwardian feel for others. I'd try not to be stuck in any genre or
:05:46. > :05:49.period. I wanted it to be contemporary with a hint of
:05:50. > :05:51.something different. It was not deliberate but I think I always
:05:52. > :06:00.wanted something connected to the darker tone of the early adopters.
:06:01. > :06:05.It is stark and it means business. And I've lead it. -- the early
:06:06. > :06:06.adopters. It is the thing that makes me feel most like Doctor Who.
:06:07. > :06:09.APPLAUSE. That footage Gyles was narrating,
:06:10. > :06:12.was specially shot for the first of a new behind-the-scenes series, with
:06:13. > :06:14.exclusive access and interviews. 'Doctor Who Extra' will be
:06:15. > :06:25.on iPlayer, after each episode of Brilliant for the fans. A little bit
:06:26. > :06:34.extra. I love the costume you have chosen. As Jenna said, very sharp. A
:06:35. > :06:36.lot of thought went into that, and you referenced wanting to
:06:37. > :06:41.incorporate the darker tones of the early doctors into yours. What
:06:42. > :06:45.defines him? I think I had always seen the doctor dressed in black,
:06:46. > :06:49.and I think that is probably because they used to see him on a
:06:50. > :06:56.black-and-white television. I think what defines my Doctor, we do not
:06:57. > :07:01.know yet because he grows as he goes along, but certainly he is a little
:07:02. > :07:08.bit more fierce. He does not really care what people think of him. He
:07:09. > :07:12.has a whole cosmos to explore. He does not want to hang around waiting
:07:13. > :07:19.for you to give him your approval. That said, he is also very
:07:20. > :07:22.passionate. He loves this gift that he has been given that he can travel
:07:23. > :07:25.through time and space and go anywhere. And he is very
:07:26. > :07:31.enthusiastic about it. Is someone who is very joyful. He sees great
:07:32. > :07:37.joy in star is being born and nurseries of Andromeda, or seeing an
:07:38. > :07:42.empty car park with litter floating around. You can find beauty
:07:43. > :07:46.everywhere. And has he turned out as you imagined he would? Obviously, he
:07:47. > :07:52.has developed, but what you finished with, is he what you expected? You
:07:53. > :07:57.do not arrive with a specific idea of how you Who to be. You just
:07:58. > :08:02.arrive with a lot of enthusiasm and ideas and ideas and you get given
:08:03. > :08:05.this fabulous script. Steven Moffat is an absolutely brilliant writer.
:08:06. > :08:13.He presents this wonderful material to you. Your job is to inhabit it
:08:14. > :08:19.and bring it to life. We have had fabulous scripts this season Mark
:08:20. > :08:24.and we have largely... The Doctor is, I am always concerned when
:08:25. > :08:29.people say he's dark because I do not know what that means. Matt Smith
:08:30. > :08:33.was quite dark, and I thought he was fabulous. And Christopher Ecclestone
:08:34. > :08:39.as well. They all had elements in them that were quite dark. But he is
:08:40. > :08:43.the same man, the same guy. He is perhaps a little less, he might not
:08:44. > :08:47.be someone you want to bring home to Michu mother but he is still fun.
:08:48. > :08:50.And in the press, we have been reading that you and Jenna get on
:08:51. > :08:55.incredibly well but sadly it has been announced that she is coming to
:08:56. > :09:00.the end of her reign as an assistant. It is rumoured. What will
:09:01. > :09:05.you be looking for in a new assistant? I am not looking for a
:09:06. > :09:11.new assistant. I do not know where these rumours have started. I have
:09:12. > :09:16.read that she might be reading at Christmas but I do not even know if
:09:17. > :09:20.she will get to Christmas. You have to watch and wait and see what
:09:21. > :09:24.happens. But I can say that she is absolutely fabulous. The work she
:09:25. > :09:27.has done this season is extraordinary because she is called
:09:28. > :09:32.upon to do things that they do not think any other companion has had to
:09:33. > :09:37.do, to show an emotional range, and she has done it brilliantly. She
:09:38. > :09:49.has. But tune in and see. Everybody will be. The first episode goes out
:09:50. > :09:55.on BBC One this Saturday at 7:50pm. Straight after Tumble.
:09:56. > :09:58.Ebay was launched in 1995 but the first ever UK purchase
:09:59. > :10:00.on Ebay was made 15 years ago this week, and since then,
:10:01. > :10:03.millions of items have gone 'under the virtual hammer' - from Princess
:10:04. > :10:09...to a 10 year old toasted cheese sandwich bearing an image
:10:10. > :10:23.Shopoholic Carrie Grant is primed, logged on and ready to bid...
:10:24. > :10:30.I am bidding on a gorgeous pair of shoes which I hope I will win.
:10:31. > :10:33.Thankfully, the auction ends in two minutes which gives me long enough
:10:34. > :10:38.to tell you all about the world's larger sales website. It started out
:10:39. > :10:44.as barely more than a glorified junk shop. Starting with shoes, the site
:10:45. > :10:52.sells one payer every seven seconds. The best thing I've ever bought on
:10:53. > :10:58.eBay was a replacement cushions plus covers for my sun lounge. Every
:10:59. > :11:06.year, they sell 3 billion items, generating ?65 billion in sales. It
:11:07. > :11:14.was founded by this chap here, on the 3rd of September, 1995. The
:11:15. > :11:20.first ever item to be bought on eBay was a laser pointer. A broken laser
:11:21. > :11:23.pointer, but that did not matter because it was bought by eight
:11:24. > :11:28.collector of rock and laser pointers. EBay is great because I'd
:11:29. > :11:41.design wine glasses and I'd buy all my glitter from them. Without them,
:11:42. > :11:45.I would not have a successful business. Our turnover was ?1.4
:11:46. > :11:51.million. We have reinvested the money and we have kept buying more
:11:52. > :11:55.stock. We now have a ?1.3 million turnover. You cannot sell your soul
:11:56. > :12:01.on eBay, but you can sell just about anything. EBay also states that you
:12:02. > :12:09.may not sell body parts. There have been some big items sold on the
:12:10. > :12:13.site, old and new. Even aeroplanes. In 2001, a Gulf Stream private jets
:12:14. > :12:20.sold for the bargain price of $4.9 million. I've bought a piece of
:12:21. > :12:26.laconic equipment for $20, and it was worth $200. 19 million Brits use
:12:27. > :12:32.the site. They include Paul McCartney, Harry Styles and Clare
:12:33. > :12:36.Balding. It is called eBay but it was going to be called Echo Bay, but
:12:37. > :12:41.that name was already taken. Finally, a bag is sold on eBay every
:12:42. > :12:48.nine seconds. And that is exactly what they need to go with those
:12:49. > :12:56.shoes. -- what I need. Think you could find a better match,
:12:57. > :13:00.that is my personal opinion. As we were saying, you can imagine there
:13:01. > :13:03.are lots of weird and wonderful Doctor Who memorabilia on sale on
:13:04. > :13:09.eBay. Some of it is worth a fortune on some of it not so much. It, how
:13:10. > :13:15.much you think this was sold for? This lovely piece of memorabilia is
:13:16. > :13:27.a time brain last seen alongside Sylvester McCoy. How much did itself
:13:28. > :13:35.for? 500 the ?5 or ?5,000? -- ?565. 565. You write? Yes. Very good.
:13:36. > :13:41.Let's have a look. It gets weirder. This is an empty packet of cereal.
:13:42. > :13:49.With Jon Pertwee on the front. The question is, how much did itself
:13:50. > :13:56.for, ?60 or 306 to pounds? I cannot remember what I've paid for it. 360.
:13:57. > :14:06.You have gone for 360. Who got themselves a bargain? Very good.
:14:07. > :14:13.Uncanny. The last item is a second-hand Cybermen outfit. How
:14:14. > :14:25.much did you pay for it? ?5,000 or ?500? Can I see the exit? -- outfit.
:14:26. > :14:33.It is quite good. All intact. I would say ?5,000. I would of
:14:34. > :14:37.thought, but let's look. Bargain! What a bargain.
:14:38. > :14:47.We have a little prize for you. We took a gamble, from eBay. You are.
:14:48. > :14:52.Doctor Who and the Xavi. I am not sure how you were supposed to
:14:53. > :14:59.pronounce it. And this one is you. I have not got this. This is my first
:15:00. > :15:02.action figure of myself. It is an articulated action figure. If I was
:15:03. > :15:07.articulated this evening, that would help. Give it in the box and it will
:15:08. > :15:11.be worth more. Another question, when is an allotment is not an
:15:12. > :15:18.allotment to make good question. If at least one local council gets its
:15:19. > :15:22.way, when it becomes a car park or a hospital extension. Lucy has been to
:15:23. > :15:31.meet the green fingered growers who are digging in for a landmark
:15:32. > :15:37.battle. Fresh air, tick, exercise, tick. Five a day, tick, tick, tick.
:15:38. > :15:41.Local politicians here in Hertfordshire have other plans, they
:15:42. > :15:45.want to concrete over this patch of green and the coalition's community
:15:46. > :15:49.secretary is supporting them. The residents here have challenged his
:15:50. > :15:53.decision and have taken it to the high court. They say that the
:15:54. > :15:56.information that was given to the Secretary of State by the council
:15:57. > :16:00.was misleading and therefore he was not in a position to make an
:16:01. > :16:04.informed decision. And should they win, councils across England at
:16:05. > :16:08.least will find it a whole lot harder to build over allotments in
:16:09. > :16:14.the future. Sarah-Jane is the lead campaigner. What did you understand
:16:15. > :16:18.that the council's plan was for this land? Originally, they said they
:16:19. > :16:23.needed the land for a new hospital. Of course, we weren't going to fight
:16:24. > :16:27.that, because we understand the need for hospital facilities but it soon
:16:28. > :16:31.became apparent in fact what they were going to build were flats and
:16:32. > :16:34.houses, and a car park, in particular, we wanted to fight it
:16:35. > :16:39.every step of the way. There will be some people that argue we need
:16:40. > :16:42.houses as much as we need a new hospital The housing estate is
:16:43. > :16:48.viable. They don't need to use the allotments.
:16:49. > :16:51.The allotment act 1925 means local authorities can only sell or build
:16:52. > :16:56.on sites if they have Government permission. They need to meet
:16:57. > :17:00.certain criteria, including giving exceptional reasons why the
:17:01. > :17:03.development is needed. They need to provide alternative allotments which
:17:04. > :17:07.the council has done, but these guys aren't satisfied. I am going with
:17:08. > :17:11.the gardeners to see one of the sites the council wants them to move
:17:12. > :17:16.to. Two-and-a-half miles across town. An allotment needs to be
:17:17. > :17:22.tended daily and you need to be able to get there easily. I cannot see
:17:23. > :17:25.any logic in concreting over what I would call the best soil in
:17:26. > :17:31.Hertfordshire to put a car park there? If you move anything out of
:17:32. > :17:36.its normal catchment area a few people may move with it but the
:17:37. > :17:39.majority won't because of the distances involved. I won't be
:17:40. > :17:47.walking two miles with my wheelbarrow. The council promised
:17:48. > :17:50.?810,000 to invest in allotlet, including 110 new plots to replace
:17:51. > :17:56.the ones under tele. Some have agreed to move to the site S or the
:17:57. > :18:01.other alternatives on offer. How would you feel to move to a -- feel
:18:02. > :18:06.about moving to a plot here I would be devastated. I don't think the
:18:07. > :18:09.land is viable. Our plot was very fertile soil took us a
:18:10. > :18:13.year-and-a-half to turn over and get going. I can't imagine how long it
:18:14. > :18:18.would take to get going here. If the judge finds in favour of these guys
:18:19. > :18:22.it could have a real impact on the future of all allotments. Councils
:18:23. > :18:26.would in effect have to make a stronger case to get rid of any and
:18:27. > :18:30.drop the land. That would mean being much more
:18:31. > :18:34.specific about what they plan to build and where. And if you have an
:18:35. > :18:40.allotment here is why it is important. In the last seven year,
:18:41. > :18:45.there have been 132 applications by English councils to build over
:18:46. > :18:48.allotments. Only four were turned down. Ladies and gentlemen, I have
:18:49. > :18:53.good news and bad news. So we did ask the council if they
:18:54. > :19:00.would meet with you all. Up fortunately, they said no. --
:19:01. > :19:04.unfortunately. What a surprise! They have, however, agreed that I can
:19:05. > :19:12.spoke to the mayor. But all you guys will have to stay on the bus, I am
:19:13. > :19:18.afraid. The mayor of Watford asked me to meet her on a piece of waste
:19:19. > :19:21.land which is part of the council's development land. The community from
:19:22. > :19:26.the allotments claim they were misled. First of all the allotments
:19:27. > :19:30.were needed for a ho, then housing, then a car park mysteriously
:19:31. > :19:33.appeared in the proposal. The hospital, the jobs and the homes
:19:34. > :19:37.have always been part of the planningful I think of this as a big
:19:38. > :19:41.chess board. To get all the piece ops the board you might move some
:19:42. > :19:46.things round. So yes, it might be a car park on the allotments. It might
:19:47. > :19:50.be 70 family house, with the allotments out it gives us a blank
:19:51. > :19:54.canvas for the site. We have to move on and get on with turning this into
:19:55. > :19:59.something that is fit for people to live in, and not this blot on the
:20:00. > :20:03.landscape it is now. The lady is not for turning and neither are you. The
:20:04. > :20:07.question is how far are you guys willing to go to save your
:20:08. > :20:10.allotment? We hope we win the court case, if we don't we will take it
:20:11. > :20:16.all the way. We will tie ourselves to those rails and stop the bull
:20:17. > :20:21.dozeners from going in. They haven't seen anything yet. There we are.
:20:22. > :20:24.Thanks to Lucy and we will follow that story with interest. As we
:20:25. > :20:29.mentioned earlier Peter, you and Jenna have been all round the globe
:20:30. > :20:34.promoting this brand-new series, and meeting fans. In different
:20:35. > :20:37.countries. You couldn't answer every question from everybody round the
:20:38. > :20:46.world, so we thought we would offer you a bit of help. So, we asked some
:20:47. > :20:50.far flung Whovians if they had questions for you. Let us see where
:20:51. > :20:58.the TARDIS will land first. Off we go. Australia. In the entire history
:20:59. > :21:01.of Doctor Who what have been your favourite episodes and the episodes
:21:02. > :21:08.that have influenced your portrayal the most? Favourite in the entire
:21:09. > :21:12.history? That is not a choice I care to make. I have been influenced by
:21:13. > :21:17.the entire history and even who has worked top show. I wouldn't be here
:21:18. > :21:21.doing this if it hadn't been for the 12 actors who brilliantly played the
:21:22. > :21:25.part, often in times when it wasn't as easy to be Doctor Who or as
:21:26. > :21:30.welcome to be Doctor Who as it is now. I stand on their shoulder, so I
:21:31. > :21:36.don't want to separate anyone out or any episodes out. Have any got in
:21:37. > :21:41.cop tact with you? Yes, both Matt and David have been incredibly kind
:21:42. > :21:46.and helpful and supportive and I often am in touch with them. Because
:21:47. > :21:50.they can give me advice about things that only we know about and Peter
:21:51. > :21:55.Davidson has been lovely too. But strangely I have met a number of
:21:56. > :21:59.them in the past, Tom Baker, who was extraordinary, great, Sylvester
:22:00. > :22:04.McCoy who is lovely, and so I have met a few of them. It is nice they
:22:05. > :22:10.have given you advice. Shall we fly off again? Let us see where it is
:22:11. > :22:16.taking us this time. To Moscow. Hello, when did you first feel you
:22:17. > :22:22.are the doctor now? When you got the part, when it was announced on the
:22:23. > :22:30.live show or when the filming started? When did you feel like the
:22:31. > :22:34.doctor properly? You know, the moment Matt regenerated into me, I
:22:35. > :22:38.felt like the doctor. Did you? Yeah, I mean it takes a while for
:22:39. > :22:44.everybody else to believe that, I guess, there was another moment, I
:22:45. > :22:48.felt like Doctor Who when someone threw me against a wall and it
:22:49. > :22:54.shook, the set shook. I thought "Now I am Doctor Who." You were an
:22:55. > :22:59.intense fan as a boy, to come with that baggage, that must have filed
:23:00. > :23:03.-- piled the pressure on. I didn't spend my life grieving the fact I
:23:04. > :23:07.wasn't Doctor Who, you know, I had been a huge fan and loved the show.
:23:08. > :23:12.I have always loved it. Watched it, I think it is fantastic, but I
:23:13. > :23:16.wasn't sort of waking up every day saying "I have to get through
:23:17. > :23:21.another terrible day of not being Doctor Who, I will go and be Malcolm
:23:22. > :23:27.Tucker." I arrived with knowledge about the show and an instinctive
:23:28. > :23:32.grasp of it. I also think that probably Doctor Who made me the kind
:23:33. > :23:40.of actor I am. In the sense that if I was as a kid, you know, copying
:23:41. > :23:44.William Hartnell or Tom Baker. When I became a professional actor I was
:23:45. > :23:48.probably still invoking them in roles that weren't the doctor.
:23:49. > :23:53.Always prepared for it. That is good. Thank you to all our Who fans
:23:54. > :23:59.from round the globe. The TARDIS doesn't have to refuel as it careers
:24:00. > :24:02.through time and space. But the RAF hasn't cracked that technology yet.
:24:03. > :24:06.With the deploy of our war planes back in the news Dan looks at the
:24:07. > :24:11.history of the air borne petrol station.
:24:12. > :24:15.In today's global military, there is a need for speed. Planes might need
:24:16. > :24:21.to be scramabled and sent anywhere on the planet. Fast. The last thing
:24:22. > :24:27.pilots want to have to do is stop to refuel. The answer... Take the
:24:28. > :24:30.service station with you. Pilots rely on air-to-air refuelling
:24:31. > :24:38.so planes get to destinations quicker, and stay in the air longer.
:24:39. > :24:44.Voyager is a multi use converted Airbus A 330. It is based here in
:24:45. > :24:50.Brize Norton and I am going to get a ride on one of the most expensive
:24:51. > :24:57.petrol pumps. One man-made it possible. Sir Alan Cobham. He was a
:24:58. > :25:01.real celebrity of his type. He was the first man to fly to Australia
:25:02. > :25:05.and back and the first man to fly round Africa, while on these long
:25:06. > :25:08.distance flights he's discovered that when landing it was a dangerous
:25:09. > :25:14.pursuit and also it takes a lot of fuel so get up into the air, so how
:25:15. > :25:20.could you ao void this? Don't land. Almost as soon as man could fly,
:25:21. > :25:24.aircrew tried air-to-air refuelling The '20s, people literally clambered
:25:25. > :25:31.from plane to plane to fill the tank. It was as dangerous as it
:25:32. > :25:37.looks. By 1939 a more sophisticate and safer system was developed but
:25:38. > :25:41.it was primitive. A tanker plane lowered a hose that would be caught
:25:42. > :25:48.by the crew of the plane that needed to refuel. Later the hose was guy
:25:49. > :25:52.guided in by a line. His technique was used by airways and it allowed
:25:53. > :25:58.them to make flights non-step to America. In 194 the first pilots to
:25:59. > :26:02.circumnavigate the globe had taken almost six months to do it. The
:26:03. > :26:07.advent of air-to-air refuelling was one of the reasons the trip dropped
:26:08. > :26:12.to four days. It was when a new system was developed used today that
:26:13. > :26:22.air-to-air refuelling became widespread. Probe and drogue. A
:26:23. > :26:27.probe could fly into the basket. From the 1950s on wards the Cold War
:26:28. > :26:32.meant fast jets and bombers became the focus for technology. Americans
:26:33. > :26:37.had planes circling the Eastern Bloc frequently. Kept in the air for long
:26:38. > :26:42.periods. Today, due largely to cost it is used by militaries round the
:26:43. > :26:47.world. We are about 20,000 feet in the air. We are travelling 400mph
:26:48. > :26:53.and two typhoons are about to come along side and we will refuel them
:26:54. > :26:58.from this tank. We have two hoses we can use from
:26:59. > :27:04.the wings. They are about 90 feet long. A valve will open that will
:27:05. > :27:11.allow fuel to flow from us to them. That is the original system. Lieu --
:27:12. > :27:16.Ance absolutely: Thousand they are connected. The fuel is being
:27:17. > :27:24.transferred from us to them. How much are we giving them? . We have
:27:25. > :27:30.programmed it to give two thousand tonnes. If they pull away does a
:27:31. > :27:34.that play fuel every? There are suitable systems in place, it a
:27:35. > :27:37.little spray but they will move back in a controlled fashion and take it
:27:38. > :27:42.from there. In recent conflicts the fighters
:27:43. > :27:45.don't have the range to get to without refuelling, so we extend the
:27:46. > :27:50.time they have on target and what they need to do before they return
:27:51. > :27:53.to base. Not a million miles away from going to a service station in
:27:54. > :27:57.your car? That is what it is like. There is more skill in getting the
:27:58. > :28:04.probe into the car or the aircraft as you like. It is all done and the
:28:05. > :28:08.jets simply unhook. Cobham was knighted and died in
:28:09. > :28:15.1973. The invention of the long distance
:28:16. > :28:19.show man still plays a vital part in our Air Force's global capability.
:28:20. > :28:25.As it does for dozens of other Air Force, all over the world.
:28:26. > :28:30.Goodness me. A very big thank you for the RAF for allowing our cameras
:28:31. > :28:34.along, we asked you to send in photos of you watching us from
:28:35. > :28:40.behind the sofa in true Doctor Who style. So I am off round the back.
:28:41. > :28:45.Here we go. Say when. The first is from Lee Pike. He is behind the sofa
:28:46. > :28:50.watching us this evening. Well done. The second one is Paul and Nathan,
:28:51. > :28:56.they are aged six from Coventry. Next one. And the last one, is Ruby
:28:57. > :29:00.and Ed. There you are. Who can't wait for Doctor Who on Saturday.
:29:01. > :29:03.That is all for tonight. Thank you and good luck on Saturday with your
:29:04. > :29:05.Doctor Who debut. and good luck on Saturday with your
:29:06. > :29:12.Doctor Who All the very best. You can go now. Tomorrow at seven Paul
:29:13. > :29:16.Hollywood and from the bake off and James Martin are among Chris and
:29:17. > :29:20.Fearne's guests. Good night.
