:00:23. > :00:28.Hello. Welcome to the One Show with Alex Jones and Matt Baker. Ow guest
:00:28. > :00:33.tonight is a man who has watched some extraordinary homes take shape.
:00:33. > :00:37.From an old water tower in Buckinghamshire, to a derelict
:00:37. > :00:46.castle in Yorkshire, but tonight, in his honour, we have constructed
:00:46. > :00:51.a vision on a scale that's never been realised in such a way before.
:00:51. > :00:57.Inside is Grand Designs' Kevin McCloud.
:00:57. > :01:05.APPLAUSE What a sport you are. That is not a
:01:05. > :01:12.house. It's a kennel. Lovely to meet you. It's wrong, the plans. We
:01:12. > :01:19.ran out of time and the budget went heywire. It's clearly finished.
:01:19. > :01:23.are used to that. Let's pass over that. It hasn't got planning
:01:23. > :01:28.consent. Presumably this is something you have come up against,
:01:28. > :01:33.people having not measured properly and budget being not correct.
:01:33. > :01:37.usual. It's all to do with that age-old drive that we have as
:01:37. > :01:40.humans, to get up in the morning and make things and ignore all the
:01:40. > :01:44.best advice from everyone around us, because we are think we are capable
:01:44. > :01:53.- if we weren't all like that, we would all be living in caves still.
:01:53. > :01:57.True. It's the flipside. I'm a big, big fan of the show. We'll find out
:01:57. > :02:01.later about your thoughts on the new proposed planning laws as well.
:02:01. > :02:05.Also, we give you the chance to show Kevin McCloud, your designs.
:02:05. > :02:08.Whatever you have built from a potting shed to a book shelve. Send
:02:08. > :02:15.us a picture of you standing proudly in front of it and we'll
:02:15. > :02:18.see what Kevin makes of it later. E-mail us. Thanks for that! It will
:02:18. > :02:23.be great. People disagree about whether
:02:23. > :02:29.alternive medicine works or not. When it comes to a father and son
:02:29. > :02:35.relationship and the father is a doctor and the son is the patient
:02:35. > :02:41.and the illness is a brain tumour, then it becomes difficult. My
:02:41. > :02:46.daughter Karen was 43 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She
:02:46. > :02:48.went down the conventional medal route and then wanted to add other
:02:48. > :02:55.therapies, complimentary therapies and alternative, anything that
:02:55. > :02:58.might just cleanse her body of this hideous disease. The use of
:02:58. > :03:08.unproven alternative therapies against medical siepbs has always
:03:08. > :03:08.
:03:08. > :03:13.sparked a passionate debate. 24- year-old Sam has a brain tumour. He
:03:13. > :03:20.has turned to alternative therapies. His father is a cancer specialist,
:03:20. > :03:25.where he is working on a cure at Leicester Royal Infirmary.
:03:25. > :03:29.immediate reaction was we'll get this fixed. Sam, you were emphatic
:03:29. > :03:34.and you said, "You're my father, not my doctor." There needs to be a
:03:34. > :03:39.line drawn. Having exhausted conventional treatments, Sam's
:03:39. > :03:43.opted for the alternative route. decided that I'm going to try my
:03:43. > :03:48.stuff out. Some of the lifestyle changes are radical. Sam now
:03:48. > :03:54.follows what he describes as an anti-cancer diet, based on a
:03:54. > :03:58.mixture of flaxseed oil and cottage cheese and contacted spiritual
:03:58. > :04:03.healers. All three of them gave me heat inside the head, actual
:04:03. > :04:06.physical heat. It was real and it did happen as I'm concerned it is
:04:06. > :04:10.valid. Many people would analyse it and it is just clutching at
:04:10. > :04:14.anything just in case. I don't clutch. I look at it very carefully.
:04:14. > :04:18.I'm been conned before. I know how it feels. I'm very, very careful,
:04:18. > :04:22.to the point of paranoia. Sam uses drum ing to help him relax, but
:04:22. > :04:29.believes more potent remedies could help. One of them is the chemical
:04:29. > :04:34.sodium dichloroacetate or DCA. It has had limited clinical trials,
:04:35. > :04:38.but is currently viewed as a potential cancer treatment. His
:04:38. > :04:43.father believes it caused Sam nerve damage when they took too much and
:04:43. > :04:46.then there is the illegal stuff. Cannabis oil has been proven in
:04:46. > :04:51.certain laboratory situations to destroy cancer cells and brain
:04:51. > :04:55.tumours. Your dad is shaking his head. That is in the lab. It's not
:04:55. > :04:58.really a drug. It's a mixture of a whole variety of compounds and
:04:58. > :05:03.that's the problem. People watching would be very uneasy with the fact
:05:03. > :05:07.that it is illegal. That is the other point. Sure. We have to make
:05:07. > :05:10.that point. Absolutely. We have to have the right to cure ourselves.
:05:10. > :05:16.For a trained doctor that approach can be hard to accept. Some of the
:05:16. > :05:20.drugs that he's used are very potent chemicals and he's managed
:05:20. > :05:24.to get those from the internet. That is a huge problem to me.
:05:24. > :05:28.there any evidence at all in Sam's experience and his results, that
:05:28. > :05:32.would encourage you to say to a patient, for example, you might
:05:32. > :05:37.want to try this? Sadly, no. I really can't. The situation with
:05:37. > :05:42.Sam, as you said, is extreme. Young man, terminal diagnosis, have to
:05:42. > :05:48.try everything. For many patients now with the new therapies the
:05:48. > :05:51.prognosis is not so bad. Many of them can be cured or even have
:05:51. > :05:57.retained long-lasting remissions with conventional treatment. Sam is
:05:57. > :06:01.convinced something he's doing is working. His tumour has shrunk and
:06:01. > :06:04.he says it can't all be down to conventional treatment. He believes
:06:04. > :06:11.the evidence is compelling and deserves properly scientific
:06:11. > :06:14.investigation. Are these cures really so impossible to take
:06:14. > :06:18.seriously? I don't think so. I think we should take them seriously
:06:18. > :06:21.and I think there should be clinical trials, absolutely. The
:06:21. > :06:27.sooner the better, because people may be dying needlessly and that's
:06:27. > :06:31.a hoshing thought. What gesture do -- horrible thought. What gesture
:06:31. > :06:36.do you think the medical profession will make to perhaps a new
:06:36. > :06:40.treatment? I hope they find it and continue doing what they are doing.
:06:41. > :06:44.I wan cancer to be gone preferrable -- want cancer to be gone,
:06:44. > :06:49.preferrably within my lifetime. I am planning on going on and it's
:06:49. > :06:54.possible. Much like my daughter, Karen, Sam has refused to let his
:06:54. > :07:02.illness take control of his life. The path he's chosen is not without
:07:02. > :07:05.risk. It has given him fresh hope. Cancer Research UK says there is no
:07:05. > :07:10.evidence that any alternative diets can prevent, treat or control the
:07:10. > :07:15.disease. Although, as Sam says, seeing a spiritual healer has
:07:15. > :07:19.helped him cope, the charity says there is no scientific evidence to
:07:19. > :07:24.support alternative healing as a cure. Kevin you have tried the
:07:24. > :07:28.therapies? For asthma, not for anything more serious than that.
:07:28. > :07:32.Chronic asthma, that is pretty bad? I've had it for 30 years. It's been
:07:32. > :07:38.a lifetime companion really. It got to the point a few years ago when
:07:38. > :07:42.it got seriously bad and I found a consultant, this is after 15 years
:07:43. > :07:46.of not drinking alcohol and not touching wheat and having
:07:46. > :07:52.supplements and other stuff and finally he put me on some
:07:52. > :07:57.conventional drugs. I'm back on the booze now! All I'm saying is I'm
:07:57. > :08:00.very interested by this idea of alternative, because I see it as
:08:00. > :08:05.complimentary and I think if conventional medicine fails, and
:08:05. > :08:11.clearly you are going to want to try and find anything you can to
:08:11. > :08:15.support you, whether that is counselling or whatever. The
:08:15. > :08:19.important thing is one shouldn't necessarily throw away conventional
:08:19. > :08:24.medicine and say no. The two can live together. We think you are
:08:24. > :08:28.going to love our next film. Archeologists in Northern Ireland
:08:28. > :08:32.are excited about this discovery. What they have found has been
:08:32. > :08:39.hidden for centuries, but it's now slowly revealing itself in the
:08:39. > :08:45.shadows of this castle. Joe has been to seen history in the making.
:08:45. > :08:52.Since the 1408's, this castle has stood on North Antrim's coastline.
:08:52. > :08:56.From here, generations of chieftans were able to dominate. The castle
:08:56. > :08:59.is steeped in legend. Everything from tales of love to tales of war,
:08:59. > :09:02.but now archeologists and historians have discovered an
:09:02. > :09:09.untold story. It's hidden for hundreds of years, just outside the
:09:09. > :09:14.castle walls. Photographs reveal scars in the field surrounding the
:09:14. > :09:18.cast. Land surveys backed up what was seen and the pastures were
:09:18. > :09:23.definitely hiding something. The only way for us to find out what
:09:23. > :09:28.was hidden under the fields was to dig. And their discoveries took
:09:28. > :09:36.even the experts by surprise. Buried just a few feet below the
:09:36. > :09:39.surface of that grassland is an entire town. Colin is the
:09:40. > :09:42.archeologist whose hunch led to this discovery. This is an amazing
:09:42. > :09:47.site. Give me a sense of where we are standing nought within this
:09:47. > :09:54.town that you are uncovering? is an amazing site. It's probably
:09:54. > :09:59.the best site I've ever worked on. The town itself was built in 1608
:09:59. > :10:01.and freestanding by 1611. 400 years ago you would have come down this
:10:01. > :10:10.surface which stretches across to the wall. There would have been
:10:10. > :10:13.another line of buildings on the far side of the cobbled surface.
:10:13. > :10:17.This was a significant settlement. This isn't a village? No, no, this
:10:17. > :10:21.was very much a town. It would have had anything up to 60 to 90 houses
:10:21. > :10:25.across the whole of the town and a population of something between 900
:10:25. > :10:30.and 1,000 people. Wow. You said we are standing on cobbles that go
:10:30. > :10:34.down to the castle. This seems to be a bit of a feature here? What we
:10:34. > :10:39.actually have is a series of drains running down the surface, but what
:10:39. > :10:42.the drain is telling us is that there's a change in society and
:10:42. > :10:46.people who lived in the town are conscious of hygiene and conscious
:10:47. > :10:53.of their appearance. What we are really seeing here is a movement
:10:53. > :11:00.into the modernity On site there's a museum displaying previous year's
:11:00. > :11:07.finds. Is there one favourite item? I have to say there is. It's this
:11:07. > :11:12.object, a small bronze item. This is actually a late 16th early 17th
:11:12. > :11:16.century tuning peg for a harp. That find was found literally in the
:11:16. > :11:19.gutter, just outside the blacksmith's. We know that
:11:19. > :11:24.travelling musicians were visiting the houses at tight within the
:11:24. > :11:28.settlement. It is tempting to say that this harpist left the house
:11:29. > :11:34.very late at night and made his way back up the surface and bumped
:11:34. > :11:37.against the corner of the blacksmith's and lost this quite
:11:37. > :11:41.valuable item. Not so many documents survived that describe
:11:41. > :11:44.the town or what happened to it, so how or why was this forgotten
:11:44. > :11:50.about? Professor Brian Williams is the man responsible for the
:11:50. > :11:54.castle's heritage. Brian, was was it a town was built outside the
:11:54. > :11:58.castle walls? What is the idea? 1608 was a time of massive
:11:58. > :12:02.political upheavel and change for the whole island of Ireland. The
:12:02. > :12:07.Earl of Antrim was trying to position himself politically and
:12:07. > :12:12.read the ruins how to survive in this time and he decided to set up
:12:12. > :12:18.a series of towns to grow the economy. He went to Scotland and
:12:18. > :12:23.brought in proven business people, entrepreneurs, merchants, who had a
:12:23. > :12:32.track ro record. -- a track record. They could set up business with him
:12:32. > :12:36.over here. Where did it all go wrong? The town thrived for 30-odd
:12:36. > :12:40.years, but then got caught up in the maelstrom of Irish history and
:12:40. > :12:44.in 1641 there was an Irish rebellion and rebels attacked the
:12:44. > :12:48.town and what we have found is they simply folded the houses in on
:12:48. > :12:53.themselves. The walls were pushed in and the whole town of 1,000
:12:54. > :12:57.people were flattened and it became a grassy field in no time. It's
:12:57. > :13:02.amazing to think that this quiet stretch of coastline was once a
:13:02. > :13:05.thriving commercial centre. The lost town was more than just a busy
:13:06. > :13:09.market town. It was a unique community. Scottish settlers and
:13:09. > :13:13.Irish natives lived side by side here. What is more, as this dig
:13:13. > :13:23.shows, they built this forward- looking and sophisticated society
:13:23. > :13:25.
:13:25. > :13:30.together. Grand Designs back then as well. Your very own home is 500
:13:30. > :13:35.years old? It's not as beautiful as that. I live in a Tudor eco-home,
:13:35. > :13:40.built out of the field in which it sits. Has it got loads of glass in
:13:40. > :13:46.it? Yes. Is it open-plan? No. It's got small, tiny windows and it's
:13:46. > :13:56.dark and gloomy, but I'm fond of it. The people like their homes to be
:13:56. > :14:01.
:14:01. > :14:11.flooded with light and I'm - I The new series has started. Let's
:14:11. > :14:13.
:14:13. > :14:17.How do you balance, on the one hand, this desire to create the Arts and
:14:17. > :14:23.Crafts spirit of the nineteenth- century, the 21st century, with
:14:23. > :14:26.your instinct as an accountant to save money? Because this sat --
:14:26. > :14:33.house is never about money. You will be surprised to hear that.
:14:33. > :14:37.It's all about the style and design, beat money is... The money is
:14:37. > :14:43.almost completely irrelevant! will not disclose the amount. Do
:14:43. > :14:48.you think it is money well spent? When you walk away, will you be
:14:48. > :14:52.pleased? I am sure that he believes it is. I'm sure he thinks he has
:14:52. > :14:56.spent his money wisely and well. It isn't foolish to build a very
:14:56. > :15:02.expensive house, in an expensive part of the world. It's the south
:15:02. > :15:06.of London, an expensive area. Real estate costs a lot. I'm sure he did
:15:06. > :15:12.the right thing. I'm being very correct, as you can guess. What I
:15:12. > :15:18.want to say about this is that... I shouldn't be talking too much, it
:15:18. > :15:22.is on in 105 minutes. But he does run out of money at the end. It is
:15:22. > :15:25.a cautionary tale. Many of the project will broadcasting are,
:15:25. > :15:30.because the money is not there. awkward Steve Field, when you are
:15:30. > :15:36.talking about the Budget? It is their life, everything. -- How
:15:36. > :15:40.awkward do you feel? You know, I'm not really interested in money. I'm
:15:40. > :15:44.really interested in the design, the architecture, the experience of
:15:44. > :15:51.the building, what it contributes, what it says about where it is and
:15:51. > :15:55.how the talks about its neighbours. Where did that inquest come from?
:15:56. > :16:00.My dad was an engineer and scientist. We were encouraged to
:16:00. > :16:08.take things apart, like engines. rocket scientist? Well, he built
:16:08. > :16:11.bits of rockets. Systems for missiles. We have to ask, there are
:16:11. > :16:20.lots of things in the news about the proposed changes to planning
:16:20. > :16:30.laws. What is your view on it? nutshell, it is a guide. It is 52
:16:30. > :16:30.
:16:30. > :16:33.off 58 pages. The last document, in 1957, was 1000 pages long. Whatever
:16:33. > :16:38.this government did, it would get in trouble. They have produced
:16:38. > :16:41.something that says, we want to see sustainable development. We are
:16:41. > :16:46.going to say yes to this sustainable development. Then it
:16:46. > :16:50.defines what that is. The design bench marks are really quite
:16:50. > :16:54.stringent. But because it is a discussion document and a guide,
:16:54. > :16:57.everybody is up in arms. They are saying, this is outrageous, we are
:16:57. > :17:02.going to see green land carpeted over with rubbish housing
:17:02. > :17:06.developments. Well, that may or may not happen. It is at a very early
:17:06. > :17:10.stage. I'm interested to see how it works out in the detail. That will
:17:10. > :17:14.be down to local authorities, not to central government. We do live
:17:14. > :17:18.on an island, there is a certain amount of space and there are more
:17:18. > :17:24.people now. We are the most populous country in Europe, it is
:17:24. > :17:31.going to be a big issue. Now, how do you deal with the green menace
:17:31. > :17:34.of bracken without destroying the countryside? Kate Bevan goes to
:17:34. > :17:38.Herefordshire to find out how horse power is proving an efficient way
:17:38. > :17:43.to tackle the problem. This is a very special, hard
:17:43. > :17:47.working horse. She is part of a pioneering conservation project to
:17:47. > :17:52.protect our countryside from a plant that is taking over. It is
:17:52. > :17:56.bracken. You would not expect such a familiar firm to be a problem.
:17:56. > :18:02.Until recently, it wasn't. In the past, it was cut for livestock
:18:02. > :18:07.bedding. But changes in farming practices means that it now covers
:18:07. > :18:11.nearly 3 million acres of Britain. And it's spreading. The problem
:18:11. > :18:14.with bracken is that it smothers the forest floor with a toxic
:18:14. > :18:21.blanket of dead leaves and blocks out the sunlight, excluding all
:18:21. > :18:26.other plants. In turn, that deprives insects of food. So, the
:18:26. > :18:34.countryside has declared war on bracken. That is where Ella and her
:18:34. > :18:38.owner come in. They specialise in controlling bracken in
:18:38. > :18:44.environmentally sensitive places, like here, amid the ancient oaks in
:18:44. > :18:48.Herefordshire. The blanket of bracken threatens the future of
:18:48. > :18:53.these Oaks, as the acorns cannot germinate in its shadow. But the
:18:53. > :18:59.park is protected by laws, due to its Lydney -- unique flora and
:18:59. > :19:02.fauna. Chemical sprays and heavy vehicles cannot be used. So they
:19:02. > :19:06.are pioneering an alternative technique. She's pretty nimble on
:19:07. > :19:14.her feet? She is, this is the advantage of horses. Wigan Wigan
:19:14. > :19:18.more difficult places. A quad bike or a tractor could not. It's very
:19:19. > :19:24.special, isn't it? These are some of the oldest oak trees in Britain.
:19:24. > :19:32.They are allegedly 1000 years old. The bracken is on the increase.
:19:32. > :19:36.designed this yourself? It's based on a technique from the 1920s. I've
:19:36. > :19:42.produced this designed specifically for horses. Wouldn't it be easier
:19:42. > :19:47.just to chop it down? It would, but then the route, the biggest part of
:19:47. > :19:54.the plant, would throw up new growth. It wouldn't control it.
:19:54. > :19:59.bashing it, what actually happens to it? Well, bashing, these are not
:19:59. > :20:04.sharp. They crush it. You can see the wounds in the bracken. That
:20:04. > :20:10.makes the plant try to carry on living. But the sap leads out. It
:20:10. > :20:16.can't put food back into the Ritz. So it is weakened over winter.
:20:16. > :20:21.bit of a battle of wits? Yes, I hope I'm cleverer than Bracken!
:20:21. > :20:25.Bracken bashing has become popular right across the country. Not only
:20:25. > :20:29.is it good for the environment, as there are no nasty chemicals, it's
:20:29. > :20:35.also cost-effective because there is no need for diesel. So, it has
:20:35. > :20:43.become popular, so he has had to take on apprentices to take on
:20:43. > :20:50.extra work. This area you can see behind me has been brats. When we
:20:50. > :20:54.first came here, the bracken was 8 foot tall. It's now very standard
:20:54. > :20:58.and there are grassy areas. Have you seen differences with wildlife?
:20:58. > :21:03.The benefits are immediate. The bracken is crushed and it doesn't
:21:03. > :21:07.come up again. Things like violets, the grass is, they can grow through.
:21:07. > :21:11.We've seen an increase in all sorts of insects, butterflies. In

:21:56. > :22:00.with her. It was for a Grand Designs programme, coming up in
:22:00. > :22:04.this series. We went with the owner of this extraordinary house that he
:22:04. > :22:09.is building in the forest. We went with her, and her other job, when
:22:09. > :22:15.she is not smashing bracken, is pulling out felled timber from
:22:15. > :22:22.National Trust's Boris's -- forests. Because that doesn't damage the
:22:22. > :22:28.floor. It looks like I'm sitting between two keen loggers!
:22:28. > :22:32.You've been sending in your wonderful Grand Designs. A modern-
:22:32. > :22:39.retro party shack. Have you got a line for that? What would you say
:22:39. > :22:45.at the end of the programme? It's a 50s American diner, with added
:22:45. > :22:48.relish. Then we've got this one. This has been sent in by Peter and
:22:48. > :22:55.Amanda from North Dorset. This is a picture of a barn that they built.
:22:55. > :23:03.They also have a house, to clarify! There are no windows. Yeah, a

:23:40. > :23:44.more British than a cup of tea? These days we take fine china for
:23:44. > :23:48.granted. But there was a time when a porcelain tea cup was reserved
:23:48. > :23:54.only for the richest of the rich. The Far East had a monopoly on the
:23:54. > :23:58.precious resource and charged merchants a small fortune. When it
:23:58. > :24:08.finally arrived back in Europe at the beginning of the 17th century,
:24:08. > :24:10.
:24:10. > :24:15.the Italians named it after the beautiful shell-like translucence.
:24:15. > :24:18.The British aristocracy simply named Trina. It was far superior to
:24:18. > :24:23.anything the West was producing at the time, both in strength and
:24:23. > :24:29.beauty. Understandably, the Chinese were reluctant to reveal the secret
:24:29. > :24:33.recipe and relinquish their monopoly. That was until 1746, when
:24:33. > :24:37.a British chemist named William Cook were the made an observation
:24:37. > :24:42.that would change the china industry forever. He went to visit
:24:42. > :24:48.a Cornish tin mine in Cornwall. He noticed that the miners were
:24:48. > :24:55.repairing the cracks and holes in their furnaces with its local
:24:55. > :25:04.material. This pale white clay was remarkably resistant to extreme
:25:04. > :25:12.heat. On closer inspection, this humble material turned out to be
:25:12. > :25:16.very high in porcelain's secret ingredient. It shattered China's
:25:16. > :25:25.monopoly and made a Cornish quarry the envy of the world. The china
:25:25. > :25:29.clay industry in Britain exploded. With the techniques of extraction
:25:29. > :25:33.moving on since William Cook would be's day, past -- poll Slim was no
:25:33. > :25:37.longer reserved for the rich. Britain was producing fine china
:25:37. > :25:42.for the masses. What began as a small mining in west Cornwall has
:25:42. > :25:47.become the biggest china clay pit in the world. It has changed parts
:25:47. > :25:50.of the Cornish landscape beyond recognition. The St Austell china
:25:50. > :25:56.clay pits covered 25 square miles and are known locally as the
:25:56. > :26:01.Cornish Alps. The only way to appreciate the magnitude of the
:26:01. > :26:05.workings is from the air, in The One Show balloon. Ivor Burdett used
:26:05. > :26:09.to work for the mining operation. Today, he's an expert on the
:26:09. > :26:14.history of the clay pits. We are looking at an area that has been
:26:14. > :26:18.intensively mined over 250 years. The lakes are in fact disused
:26:18. > :26:23.workings, which fill up with water. The largest of the Six minds that
:26:23. > :26:28.we operate is over 200 hectares in size. They are giant holes in the
:26:28. > :26:32.ground. The all of this is to make cups and saucers? Not at all. That
:26:32. > :26:39.is our oldest market, 50% of what we produce goes into the
:26:39. > :26:45.manufacturing of paper. Paper?! have 20% going into things like
:26:45. > :26:49.paints, adhesives, pharmaceuticals. We probably use china clay in some
:26:49. > :26:56.form or another every day. Nevertheless, the impact of William
:26:56. > :27:01.Cook were the's findings has been immense. The Eden Project has been
:27:01. > :27:05.praised for its reclamation of 37 acres of china clay pit. But these
:27:05. > :27:09.works cover 16,000 acres. Mining is likely to go on for another 100
:27:09. > :27:15.years. Over the last 20 years it has been a fairly intensive
:27:15. > :27:19.programme of reshaping some of the old pits, creating up to 750 acres
:27:19. > :27:24.of heathland, planting over 1 million trees. A lot is going on
:27:24. > :27:30.today. Well over 113 million tonnes of china clay have been extracted
:27:30. > :27:34.from Siddle stroll over the last 200 years. It will take decades to
:27:34. > :27:41.turn this lunar landscape back into something approaching its original
:27:41. > :27:45.state. I think William Cookwere the would be stunned to see this now.
:27:45. > :27:49.He'd never have thought that his experiments would not only break
:27:49. > :27:54.China's monopoly on porcelain production, but also transform a
:27:54. > :27:59.Far Eastern treasure into Britain's most versatile resource. There are
:27:59. > :28:05.few who can claim to have made quite such an impact on the
:28:05. > :28:11.countryside. Now, more grand designs. They have
:28:11. > :28:17.been flooding in. Kevin? I've got a dome of made out of plastic milk
:28:17. > :28:23.containers. I like it. It's lovely. It's a little bit of a love shack.
:28:23. > :28:29.I think you'd need to tie it down. This one is a home-built structure
:28:29. > :28:35.from Kevin. Did the cat build it? That would have been interesting.
:28:35. > :28:39.This one is lovely. A bridge built with two other students at Bath Spa
:28:39. > :28:43.University. It's from Annabel Williams. They knitted it from
:28:43. > :28:47.recycled wool. That is all we got time for. We're going to be
:28:47. > :28:51.returning to the subject of Dock training tomorrow. If you do have a
