Hello, and welcome to The One Show with Matt Baker. And Alex Jones and

:00:20.:00:23.

with us tonight is one of the most famous actresses ever to come out

:00:23.:00:27.

of Liverpool - mind you, you wouldn't know it from her accent.

:00:27.:00:31.

You really wouldn't. She played quint essential New Yorker Samantha

:00:31.:00:34.

in Sex and the City, but as this photo proves, you can take the girl

:00:34.:00:37.

out of Liverpool, but you can't take the Liverpool out of the girl.

:00:37.:00:44.

It's Kim Cattrall. APPLAUSE

:00:44.:00:50.

Good to see you, Kim. What a nice welcome, thank you.

:00:50.:00:56.

your shirt is lovely, matches the sofa. Yes, I had no idea. We were

:00:56.:01:00.

shocked earlier. I had no idea you were born in Liverpool, but you did

:01:00.:01:04.

leave at three years old. Where have you been? I know. Do you still

:01:04.:01:08.

feel a connection with Liverpool now? Yes. I proudly call myself -

:01:08.:01:16.

or I say on Facebook and I say I'm a Liverpudlian raised in Canada,

:01:17.:01:21.

also a New Yorker. So still, obviously, you feel quite a big

:01:21.:01:24.

connection. Do you still have family, then? Yes, most of my

:01:24.:01:29.

family - some I am born with, some in Norfolk, but most - my memories

:01:29.:01:33.

are from Liverpool. I left when I was three months old, but I came

:01:33.:01:36.

back in the '60s and went to theatre school for awhile, and

:01:36.:01:40.

that's where my dream to become an actress started was in Liverpool.

:01:40.:01:43.

We'll talk about all of that in a little while and also your new role

:01:43.:01:49.

as Cleopatra - all coming up. It is Ladies Day tonight. Ann

:01:49.:01:54.

Widecombe is here, and will be telling us what to do if debt

:01:54.:01:57.

collectors start sending you demands for money you don't know.

:01:57.:02:00.

As it's harvest time Lucy Siegle will be out on the farms for us

:02:00.:02:04.

over the next few days. She's in Norfolk to see how they're coping

:02:04.:02:07.

with one of the best years on record. How is it looking out there

:02:08.:02:10.

today, Lucy? Pretty good, actually. We have had really good weather

:02:10.:02:13.

today, which is great because it's allowed the farmer here, Nigel

:02:13.:02:17.

Stangroom, and his team of 11 to make up some ground in what's been

:02:17.:02:21.

a very difficult harvest period. They specialise in herbs here.

:02:21.:02:24.

These are chives, and they've actually harvested eight times this

:02:24.:02:28.

amount today, which is great. Those are being dried now. To do this

:02:28.:02:32.

they work very hard. They get up early. They don't mind that, but

:02:32.:02:35.

what's difficult for them - and farmers everywhere - is obviously

:02:35.:02:39.

the unpredictability of the weather, but also the unpredictability of us

:02:39.:02:44.

as consumers. What do we want? When do we want it? Take a look at this.

:02:44.:02:48.

So how do did supermarkets make sure that the shelves are stocked

:02:48.:02:54.

with the fresh produce we want when we want come rain or shine?

:02:54.:02:59.

This is the daily planning meeting at Morrison's headquarters in

:02:59.:03:04.

Bradford, where the weather forecasts are analysed and acted on.

:03:04.:03:07.

Looking at the weather forecast for the end of the week, temperatures

:03:07.:03:12.

are still strong so we're looking at 26 Celsius down south. Andrew is

:03:13.:03:16.

the Director of Produce and horticulture. We work closely with

:03:16.:03:19.

a weather organisation that gives us information daily, weekly and

:03:19.:03:23.

monthly. Our buying teams will be talking to growers from 6.30am

:03:23.:03:27.

every morning in the UK to work out what's happening in their area.

:03:27.:03:32.

there a precise temperature at which certain products fly out the

:03:32.:03:37.

door? Brits think when it gets to 18 degrees that summer has arrived,

:03:37.:03:41.

and that generally tends to be the temperature we see the switch from

:03:41.:03:46.

potatoes, carrots and broccoli to tomatoes, cucumbers, strawberries -

:03:46.:03:53.

soft fruits get bought in abundance. In an average week 2 to 300 iceberg

:03:53.:03:58.

lettucees. When the sun comes up we can sell up to six to 700,000.

:03:58.:04:01.

they reckon they'll need more salad on the shelves here, the message

:04:01.:04:11.

comes through here to get cutting. We get a massive Pike when the sun

:04:11.:04:15.

comes out, puts a lot of pressure on all areas of the business from

:04:15.:04:19.

the harvesting side, the growing side and right the way through to

:04:19.:04:21.

the distribution network. These guys are going pretty fast.

:04:22.:04:27.

Presumably, they can't go any faster than this. There is surplus

:04:27.:04:30.

harvesters to cope with the spiex in the sale, but these guys will

:04:30.:04:33.

have a little bit of notice. The sales will know that we're looking

:04:33.:04:36.

at the weather patterns of it's becoming warm. Sales are going to

:04:36.:04:40.

start to increase. We're looking at where we can move people around the

:04:40.:04:43.

farm to where the peak production will be. Producers only receive the

:04:43.:04:46.

orders from the supermarkets the night before, then at first light,

:04:46.:04:50.

pickers are dispatched to cut over 5,000 lettucees each a day. They

:04:51.:04:55.

are packed in the field and on the supermarket shelves within 24 hours.

:04:55.:05:01.

On a sunny day this can lead to an increased order of 60%.

:05:01.:05:05.

Excessive wind and rain are what farmers dread, so Chris Makin

:05:05.:05:09.

leaves nothing to chance. His three million strawberry plants are lined

:05:09.:05:14.

up in polytunnels on more than 200 miles of shelving, but the crop

:05:15.:05:18.

still needs one more vital ingredient. The sunlight is what we

:05:18.:05:23.

need to make the crop ripe, and we cannot control that, and that's put

:05:23.:05:26.

us behind this year by 21 days. That's what's delayed the season.

:05:26.:05:30.

What is it like when you don't get the summer that you expect...

:05:30.:05:33.

Terrible. As a grower? Terrible because we can close the doors. We

:05:33.:05:38.

can do everything, but the customer is shouting for the fruit. "We want

:05:38.:05:41.

the fruit!" And we're doing everything we possibly can. What

:05:41.:05:45.

would I see if a strawberry has been affected by the weather

:05:45.:05:47.

conditions? That's a typical condition - the misshape. Which

:05:47.:05:52.

people aren't going to buy, are Tay? Of course not. In one season

:05:52.:05:55.

Chris will produce 1500 tonnes of strawberries. That's more than the

:05:55.:05:59.

weight of a hundred double-decker buses, but even then sometimes it's

:05:59.:06:03.

not enough. So how do you deal with the stress - you know, when the

:06:03.:06:09.

supermarkets are on the phone going, "We want more. We want them now?"

:06:09.:06:13.

always tell them we have the telephone number for God, we'll

:06:13.:06:18.

have a word with him. Send us some more sunshine. This feast or famine

:06:18.:06:22.

of the business leads to a headache for produce specialist Adrian Ford

:06:22.:06:25.

who needs to change the store to suit the stock. With the British

:06:25.:06:29.

weather, we have to be flexible in stores and change at short notice.

:06:29.:06:33.

For example, if a farm had a glut of produce we need to sell quickly,

:06:33.:06:37.

we need to be able to move things on to the promotional end.

:06:37.:06:40.

unpredictability of the weather, demand and supply leads to a fine

:06:40.:06:43.

balancing act for the supermarkets. Customers fundamentally make their

:06:44.:06:47.

minds up of what they want to buy in our shop, but it's how we can

:06:47.:06:52.

get those crops as quickly as possible to meet the demands of our

:06:52.:06:55.

customer, which can be up or down depending on the weather. So the

:06:55.:06:59.

next time you decide to buy a melon because it's warm or a cabbage

:06:59.:07:02.

because it's turned cool, bear in mind that the supermarket probably

:07:02.:07:06.

knew what you were going to buy a few days before you did.

:07:06.:07:10.

Just incredible, isn't it? We'll have more from Lucy on the farm

:07:10.:07:13.

with the biggest amount of parsley you'll ever witness. I didn't know

:07:13.:07:16.

there was that much parsley in the world. There you go. And the

:07:16.:07:20.

connections just keep on coming - you can say hello to your cousins

:07:20.:07:24.

up there. Indeed. You have plenty of people to look after you while

:07:24.:07:28.

you're here? I do. You're back playing Cleopatra for the second

:07:28.:07:31.

time. You were here in 2010 playing Cleopatra. We were talking in the

:07:31.:07:35.

film there - lots of people see her as a seductress, but you were

:07:35.:07:40.

explaining to Matt and I there's a lot more to Cleopatra, isn't there?

:07:40.:07:44.

Yes. This is one of the greatest love stories of all time, but it's

:07:44.:07:50.

also a very political game of chess between Caesar - October aivius

:07:50.:07:54.

Caesar and Antony and Cleopatra, so I think this version that is being

:07:55.:07:58.

directed and has been adapted from the original play is really

:07:58.:08:02.

riveting, and you get that emotional connection. You get the

:08:02.:08:05.

romance, the connection of these two strong people being drawn

:08:05.:08:08.

together but also split apart by the events that are happening in

:08:08.:08:13.

their lives and how politically savvy this particular woman is. I

:08:13.:08:18.

like savvy, strong, sexy, funny women. It's just a very cunning...

:08:18.:08:22.

Have you used any women in particular for the role as

:08:22.:08:26.

inspiration or anything like that? Oh, there's so many wonderful women

:08:26.:08:31.

- Hillary Clinton in her own way is very much that way. OK. I look at

:08:31.:08:34.

the women, and I think about the challenges that they have even

:08:34.:08:37.

today to be as powerful as this woman was. I mean, she was a Queen.

:08:38.:08:42.

She was a goddess. She was in some ways a little girl too, so to play

:08:42.:08:45.

that - the challenge of playing this particular character is that

:08:45.:08:49.

she's so changeable all the time. It's not very often that women

:08:49.:08:52.

characters have that kind of psychology written into them - into

:08:52.:08:56.

the character. They're either very good or very bad.

:08:56.:08:58.

LAUGHTER Ann Widecombe is a great example -

:08:58.:09:05.

she's coming up very shortly. We have played -- you have played

:09:05.:09:09.

an ancient Egyptian before. Oh, no. I knew you were going to show this.

:09:09.:09:13.

This is Somme bairsing. Oh, God. This is serious. Mother, I want to

:09:13.:09:18.

settle down. I want to do things. I want to invent things. I want to

:09:18.:09:22.

try things nobody has ever tried before. I want to fly. Sure, and I

:09:22.:09:28.

want to smoke and tell your father to go to hell.

:09:28.:09:34.

APPLAUSE You do look - There will be none of

:09:34.:09:38.

that in this production. I was going to say, have they more budget

:09:38.:09:42.

for the costumes? In theatre, yes, of course they do. That looked like

:09:42.:09:47.

toilet paper. It did a little bit. It was the '80s, you know? It

:09:47.:09:51.

didn't look the way it was supposed to. You mentioned in the programme

:09:51.:09:55.

you wanted to be an actress - looking at the director that was

:09:55.:09:59.

directing the production - you were 11 years old. Yes, I saw her in a

:09:59.:10:05.

production of As You Like It at the RSC. It was one of most moments

:10:05.:10:09.

where I thought if I work hard I might be able to do that in my life.

:10:09.:10:13.

How did you end up hopping the Atlantic and training on both

:10:13.:10:17.

sides? It's one of those things - it was sort of the journey I took.

:10:17.:10:20.

I had no control over it. My parents immigrated because there

:10:20.:10:24.

wasn't a lot of work in the middle '50s in Liverpool, and it was a

:10:24.:10:28.

chance for a new beginning, and we had really tough times, and then we

:10:28.:10:32.

came back in the '60s, and that's when I sort of harvested this dream

:10:32.:10:35.

of being an actor, and then I went to summer schools, and I got

:10:35.:10:39.

accepted to the American Academy in New York and then work begot work.

:10:39.:10:42.

I got an agent. I started working and having a career and people

:10:43.:10:46.

saying, "Oh, I like what you're doing," and just working more and

:10:46.:10:50.

getting more of a reputation and studying and continuing to do what

:10:50.:10:54.

I love. Yeah. You have had a very, very long career. I know!

:10:54.:10:56.

LAUGHTER And you have spoken candidly about

:10:56.:11:00.

it being quite tough for women of a certain age in Hollywood, so

:11:00.:11:04.

playing the role of Samantha Jones must have been a blessing even

:11:04.:11:08.

though you started in your 40s and carried on into your 50s. It was. I

:11:08.:11:12.

wouldn't be sitting here talking to you today if I hadn't done Sex and

:11:12.:11:19.

the City. It was such a wonderful - it came in my early 40s, and to

:11:19.:11:23.

play a femme fatale even when it all began, it just wasn't heard of.

:11:23.:11:27.

A femme fatale was in their early 30s at the very least, but I think

:11:27.:11:32.

that really broadened people's idea of women at that age and how sexy

:11:32.:11:35.

and wonderful and fabulous they can be. You were fabulous in it. Thank

:11:36.:11:43.

you. I really enjoyed it. Kim will be in Anthony and Cleopatra from

:11:43.:11:48.

September 7th at the Chichester Theatre. Here's a question - if you

:11:48.:11:52.

were an industry body spokesman defending your industry's behaviour,

:11:52.:11:57.

who was the last person you would want to turn up with a film crew?

:11:57.:12:03.

I'd have to say Ann Widecombe. can't top that, can you? He's the

:12:03.:12:07.

very image of a successful businessman, but look at Andrew

:12:07.:12:11.

Walker's financial records and a different picture begins to emerge.

:12:11.:12:19.

For the last six years, Andrew's been bombarded by debt collection

:12:19.:12:26.

agencies pursuing him for sums that amount to �100,000. There have been

:12:26.:12:32.

letters - lots of letters - and phone calls, lots of phone calls.

:12:32.:12:36.

Some demanding repayment, others threatening a visit to his home,

:12:36.:12:40.

and he's got thick files stuffed full of correspondence with debt

:12:40.:12:46.

company, but here's the thing - Andrew doesn't owe a penny. They've

:12:46.:12:53.

got the wrong Andrew Walker, but it seems there is absolutely nothing

:12:53.:13:00.

that he can do about it. There are 1,700 Andrew Walkers in

:13:00.:13:05.

the UK. One of them's got the same date of birth as this Andrew Walker,

:13:05.:13:10.

and he's got a lot of debts. The companies he owes money to hired

:13:10.:13:17.

debt collectors to find him, but they keep getting the wrong Andrew

:13:17.:13:21.

Walker. They keep writing to me, phoning me up, and they still keep

:13:21.:13:26.

doing this. I am at my wit's end about it all, but I am not the

:13:26.:13:30.

Andrew Walker with any debt at all, but the problem is they still think

:13:30.:13:34.

I am. Every time he gets a letter or a phone call, he persuades them

:13:34.:13:40.

he doesn't owe the money. Then suddenly it reappears again with

:13:40.:13:45.

another debt agency or phone call, then I have to go through the whole

:13:45.:13:50.

rigmarole of proving I am not the man with this debt. So why do debt

:13:50.:13:53.

collectors keep chasing this man for money he doesn't owe? I am

:13:53.:13:59.

going to get dot bottom of it. -- to the bottom of it. I have a lot

:13:59.:14:03.

of sympathy for Andrew because a couple of years ago debt collection

:14:03.:14:07.

agencies were bombarding my house with requests for payment for a

:14:07.:14:15.

debt that had nothing whatever to It was a real struggle to get rid

:14:16.:14:20.

of them and hundreds of people go through this every year. Francis I

:14:20.:14:24.

have come to the home of the Credit Services Association, the umbrella

:14:24.:14:29.

body that represents debt collectors. Andrew Walker have to

:14:30.:14:37.

suffer this forever if you people do not get their act together.

:14:37.:14:45.

not believe it is asked to blame. No? Clearly you would expect me to

:14:45.:14:48.

defend my members. They are not turning up on a Monday morning

:14:48.:14:53.

hell-bent on making people's lives a misery. When debt collectors are

:14:53.:14:58.

looking for someone that owes them money, the use information held by

:14:58.:15:03.

credit agencies. They hold details of nearly every adult in the UK. In

:15:03.:15:07.

theory, the debt collectors are supposed to verify the information

:15:07.:15:13.

they are given. If they find they have the wrong person, they are

:15:13.:15:17.

supposed to pass the information back. Why is Andrew Walker still

:15:17.:15:25.

being bothered? Where does the buck stop? Our members do pass

:15:25.:15:29.

information back to their clients, and it is usually the banks or

:15:29.:15:32.

other creditors that would advise the credit agency that the address

:15:32.:15:38.

is no longer correct. This is not happening. It is not something the

:15:38.:15:42.

members what to do, Cook -- repeatedly contacting the wrong

:15:42.:15:47.

person. It costs money and they would rather avoid the expense.

:15:47.:15:53.

Never mind the issues of contacting somebody in correctly. He is not

:15:53.:15:58.

taking responsibility for this mess in the way I had hoped. The Office

:15:58.:16:02.

of Fair Trading is not pleased either. They have warned the

:16:02.:16:05.

industry they must improve the accuracy of their information.

:16:05.:16:10.

There is some good news for Andrew at the end of this. One of the

:16:10.:16:14.

companies that have been chasing him sent him a letter of apology

:16:14.:16:19.

and a cheque for �100. All the companies have said he will not be

:16:19.:16:29.
:16:29.:16:30.

missed traced again. -- mistraced. I will be watching. Talk about a

:16:30.:16:36.

strong, powerful woman. Andrew had you on his side, but for the people

:16:36.:16:41.

at home who do not have you, what do they do? Do not ignore it and

:16:41.:16:45.

throw it away because it does not go away. The first thing to do is

:16:45.:16:51.

write to the debt collection company, give them the fact, if

:16:51.:17:00.

that does not work, you need to go up to a higher level. If that fails,

:17:00.:17:09.

get a solicitor. I'm afraid it is a difficult thing to get rid of.

:17:09.:17:14.

do you think the system can be improved? The problem is there is

:17:14.:17:19.

no one body that takes responsibility. The creditor passes

:17:19.:17:23.

on the information they have got originally, the debt collection

:17:23.:17:32.

agency Act side, discovers it is wrong. -- the debt collection

:17:32.:17:35.

agency uses the information. But then the information is passed on.

:17:35.:17:39.

I think the original creditor should be made responsible for the

:17:39.:17:45.

accuracy. Peter did quite well behind the desk, I would have been

:17:45.:17:53.

a nervous wreck. Have you seen Sex And The City? I would much rather

:17:53.:17:59.

see Antony and Cleopatra. tickets are on the. I will take you

:17:59.:18:09.
:18:09.:18:12.

up on that. -- on me. Yesterday we spent with Lucy Siegle on farms,

:18:12.:18:19.

she is seeing how it farmers are dealing with crazy weather. It is

:18:19.:18:23.

sun rise on a beautiful Norfolk morning, but on Hamrow Farm, the

:18:23.:18:28.

weather conditions have made attaining a good crop difficult.

:18:28.:18:34.

Good morning. This is beautiful, very pretty. We have a field over

:18:34.:18:44.
:18:44.:18:46.

here we would like to look at. has just gone 6pm. -- 6am. From

:18:46.:18:52.

parts lated chives, this diversity has helped this borough to deal

:18:52.:19:00.

with the downturn at in fortunes. - - This farmer. We need to wait for

:19:00.:19:05.

the sun to come out and burn the moisture off. Jason Mitchell has

:19:05.:19:11.

worked on Hamrow Farm for five years. This crop represents about

:19:11.:19:21.
:19:21.:19:21.

50% of the income. The farm has 15 acres set aside for this crop.

:19:21.:19:25.

Sometimes we are working 24 hours a day because it is such a bad spring.

:19:25.:19:30.

We need to get certain crops in before they go over the top and rot

:19:30.:19:40.
:19:40.:19:42.

in the soil. This is the dry area? Yes. When the chive crop is ready,

:19:42.:19:52.
:19:52.:19:53.

several loads are dry-eyed throughout the day. -- dried.

:19:53.:20:00.

mid is ready. Would you like to help? I have just checked it, when

:20:00.:20:04.

you rub your hands on it, you can do is not getting wet. Completely

:20:04.:20:09.

dry. When I squeeze it, there is no water coming out at all. Ready to

:20:10.:20:16.

go. These crops around the a small part of the challenger Nigel faces

:20:16.:20:20.

when it comes to harvest. There is a lot more to do and work has only

:20:20.:20:25.

just begun. Lucy is live on the farm with that

:20:25.:20:32.

enormous crop. I want to show you what 50 tons of dried parsley looks

:20:32.:20:38.

like. This is amazing. You were hybrids think -- harvesting chives

:20:38.:20:47.

today. Did you get this much? This would take about 40 days.

:20:47.:20:54.

you are pleased with today. Yes, it has been a nice day. What has your

:20:54.:20:58.

heart has been like generally? Pretty challenging. I knew that you

:20:58.:21:04.

would say that. -- you harvest. Have you lost crops? Yes, because

:21:04.:21:09.

we have not had the sunlight we hoped for. There has been lot of

:21:09.:21:14.

inclement weather. We have had farmers bringing in hundreds of

:21:14.:21:18.

tons of potatoes because they cannot pick them up, are you

:21:18.:21:22.

worried you will lose out to foreign herbs? I hope not because

:21:22.:21:27.

the customers are local, and we deliver in an hour. That is

:21:27.:21:35.

brilliant. Here is trite chives. How much is this worth? 50p. I.

:21:35.:21:40.

Throwing it all over the place. Just a quick word to your wife.

:21:40.:21:45.

What is it like during the harvest? It can be quite lonely, you're

:21:45.:21:51.

pretty much a single parent during the harvest season. It is a long

:21:51.:21:57.

season. From the end of May until November. Do you miss your dad when

:21:57.:22:04.

he is at a harvest? Yes! Soon you can help him. Thank you for showing

:22:04.:22:11.

me around. Tomorrow night, I will be at another farm. It is very near

:22:12.:22:17.

to this farm. We will be looking at his hardest. He is nine miles in

:22:17.:22:27.
:22:27.:22:28.

that direction so I should get a move on. Goodbye! We will catch up

:22:28.:22:37.

with her tomorrow for the second day of harvest. It is really busy.

:22:37.:22:42.

We want to see any crops you have been harvesting at home. Send us

:22:42.:22:45.

pictures of what you have been digging up in the garden or

:22:45.:22:52.

allotment. We will show them tomorrow. It is a project. Kim, you

:22:52.:22:56.

cannot believe this. It is more than I ever thought I needed to

:22:56.:23:06.
:23:06.:23:08.

know. Have you ever grown anything? That is legal? I am joking! I had a

:23:08.:23:17.

vegetable garden. It was neglected. I was like the farmer's wife.

:23:17.:23:27.
:23:27.:23:28.

not worry, my plants have died. Farmers across the land will not

:23:28.:23:34.

have been the only ones working. We have been finding out how animals

:23:34.:23:42.

can struggle to survive when the combine is moving. Farming is a way

:23:42.:23:47.

of life, I job and it provides a vital source of food for the nation.

:23:47.:23:53.

But stop from moment and there is much more than that going on. Just

:23:53.:24:02.

out of sight, countless insects, mammals and birds live in these

:24:02.:24:10.

fields. Among them is a harvest mice. They used to harvest --

:24:10.:24:17.

hibernate in crops, but now they live on the brink. When the combine

:24:17.:24:23.

harvesters arrive, the mice, their nests, and everything else in their

:24:24.:24:28.

path faces destruction. It is a big deal because a quarter of the

:24:28.:24:32.

British countryside is arable. David Mills from the British

:24:32.:24:37.

Wildlife Centre in Surrey used to be a farmer. He says a harvest mice

:24:37.:24:46.

are particularly hard hit. Years ago, when the corn was brought in

:24:46.:24:52.

in September, they were brought into the farm hard -- barnyard, the

:24:52.:24:57.

mice would be inside them. Today, the harvest is much earlier, you

:24:57.:25:02.

have big modern machinery. In the past they were given places to

:25:02.:25:09.

shelter? It is all about loss of habitat. There are many animals

:25:09.:25:15.

impacted. The impact on harvest mice has been so serious they have

:25:15.:25:19.

been added to a government list of animals at risk. Farmers get

:25:19.:25:25.

funding to create refuges for small animals at harvest time. The good

:25:25.:25:31.

news is simple practices by farmers can really make a difference.

:25:31.:25:38.

margins of on cultivated weeds at the side of fields give animals

:25:38.:25:43.

places to shelter. We can artificially boost the populations

:25:43.:25:50.

of some tiny man also -- a tiny mammals. David runs a project to

:25:50.:25:54.

breed them in captivity and release them into the wild. He has asked me

:25:54.:25:59.

to help. Where do you release them? Normally on the edge of cornfield

:25:59.:26:02.

where there is plenty of cover, because they need to be on the edge

:26:02.:26:07.

where they can find shelter and food. They will make a nest in here.

:26:07.:26:16.

They come out of here and they will live here. This is the big moment.

:26:16.:26:23.

I'll just put it there. There you go. How all that these mice? These

:26:23.:26:28.

are juveniles, about five weeks old. They will stack breeding when they

:26:28.:26:34.

are six weeks old. -- begin breeding. They could have two

:26:34.:26:39.

letters before the weather turns nasty in October. Can I have a

:26:39.:26:48.

shot? Please do, take it by the tail. I will put him in there. Off

:26:48.:26:58.
:26:58.:27:01.

He is a wild animal, and is very happy sitting there. They are so

:27:01.:27:08.

cute and so tiny. It is like holding an insect, not an animal.

:27:08.:27:15.

You deserve a little space in the grass. Do you want to go there?

:27:15.:27:20.

This breeding project, is it on going? Is there ever going to be a

:27:20.:27:26.

time when the population is be established? No. These are the food

:27:26.:27:30.

source, and quite honestly, you keep releasing them, you'd read

:27:30.:27:36.

them, breed thousands of them, because you are helping nature.

:27:36.:27:40.

Freedom for another dozen mice. This is one tiny example of how

:27:40.:27:48.

hard this and nature can live side by side. -- harvest. There is a

:27:48.:27:54.

side that has gone out across the nation. We would like to say happy

:27:54.:28:00.

birthday for yesterday. We got you a little present. There is a story

:28:00.:28:09.

behind this. The deputy editor is a man. He put your age on it. We will

:28:19.:28:27.

not sure that. -- display that. is up to year. Look at that!

:28:27.:28:34.

erect and be proud. That is all we have time talk -- a time for. Kim,

:28:34.:28:39.

thank you. Antony and Cleopatra starts at Chichester Theatre on

September 7th. This time next week, we will be in the middle of a
