:00:13. > :00:36.Blimey, better polish up the old trumpet.
:00:37. > :00:38.Hello and welcome to a very Victorian One Show, with Alex Jones.
:00:39. > :00:49.Yes, the scene is set for the grand arrival of tonight's guest.
:00:50. > :00:50.She's time-travelled from Doctor Who's sidekick,
:00:51. > :00:53.to acting royalty in the hit drama 'Victoria'.
:00:54. > :01:17.Hello, Jenna. Welcome! Nice to see you. Welcome back! Thank you, it has
:01:18. > :01:30.been a couple of years. We have redecorated. Very civilised. I like
:01:31. > :01:34.the King Charles spaniel. And we have these large migratory. And we
:01:35. > :01:42.also have tea with Ormond milk in it which is... Not very Victorian!
:01:43. > :01:53.Anyway, I was just warning you! What? I'm just saying!
:01:54. > :01:56.Can you give some words of advice for the un-cast Doctor Who assistant
:01:57. > :02:07.Who may or may not come in the shape of Bradley Walsh! Somebody else as
:02:08. > :02:19.to me today. It is news to me. But I did say the advice I gave to Pearl
:02:20. > :02:24.was about the catering, that was the most useful advice. You can order in
:02:25. > :02:32.and you do not have to go to the canteen every day. Right, and that
:02:33. > :02:40.the changes nice? Yes. On that note, try this tea with almond milk. You
:02:41. > :02:45.do not have almond milk. It is just Jenna. Sorry, I did not realise. It
:02:46. > :02:48.tastes just like regular tea! It is very nice. We will talk about the
:02:49. > :02:52.new series of Victoria shortly. The first series of Victoria saw
:02:53. > :02:55.the Queen give birth to her first These days, some women are leaving
:02:56. > :02:59.it much later to start a family, which can lead to age-related
:03:00. > :03:01.concerns around fertility. So more and more healthy women
:03:02. > :03:04.are choosing to 'flash freeze' But is this new method a reliable
:03:05. > :03:18.way to put your baby plans on ice? I am a doctor. I'm also 37 and
:03:19. > :03:23.single. I have always known that I want to have a family, but so far, I
:03:24. > :03:28.just have not met the right man. And I am not alone. There are loads of
:03:29. > :03:33.help the women in their 30s who won the children but not in a position
:03:34. > :03:38.to have them. -- healthy women. It is so common, it has been given its
:03:39. > :03:43.own name. Social infertility. For me, it feels like time is running
:03:44. > :03:47.out. Women are born with all the eggs we will ever have and our
:03:48. > :03:51.ability that fertility declines in our mid-30s as the quality
:03:52. > :03:57.diminishes, but there is a way to buy more time, a controversial and
:03:58. > :04:03.explosive process called egg freezing, I want to know if I should
:04:04. > :04:08.consider it. Eggs are collected from a woman and frozen so she can use to
:04:09. > :04:14.have her own biological child. How does it actually work? She will take
:04:15. > :04:20.hormone injections to stimulate her ovaries. And when her follicles are
:04:21. > :04:24.ready, she will come in for the collection procedure. The collection
:04:25. > :04:30.is done under sedation and we use a needle like this. That needle? Yes,
:04:31. > :04:36.only a small part of the needle goes inside. The extracted eggs will be
:04:37. > :04:42.dehydrated using a sugar solution and flash frozen in liquid nitrogen
:04:43. > :04:49.at -196 degrees. This technique called vitrification events ice
:04:50. > :04:51.crystals forming which could damage the eggs and is more reliable than
:04:52. > :04:59.slower freezing methods from the past. This is where we store eggs.
:05:00. > :05:03.This is literally where life is being stored for later. What happens
:05:04. > :05:07.when they come out of storage? When a woman is ready to have a child,
:05:08. > :05:13.she comes back, we take out the eggs and defrost them and fertilise them
:05:14. > :05:17.with her partner or donor's sperm and hoping for a positive pregnancy
:05:18. > :05:22.test. That positive test is far from guaranteed and some experts fear the
:05:23. > :05:27.process is giving women false hope. One of them is medical lawyer
:05:28. > :05:33.Professor Emily Jackson. I think there is a danger women might be
:05:34. > :05:37.being oversold egg freezing as a complete solution to the problem of
:05:38. > :05:41.age-related fertility decline, but it is not guaranteed to work and it
:05:42. > :05:46.does mean becoming a IVF patient and we all know IVF does not always
:05:47. > :05:50.work. Is this adding more pressure on women already declined -- already
:05:51. > :05:57.aware of their declining fertility? Yes, there is a terrible scenario in
:05:58. > :06:00.which women who did not freeze their eggs might feel responsible and feel
:06:01. > :06:06.they could have done something. For women who see it as their only hope,
:06:07. > :06:10.the statistics do not look good. In 2013, only 14% of women who
:06:11. > :06:14.defrosted their eggs had a baby. Some people would say vulnerable
:06:15. > :06:18.women are being sold a false hope, what you say to those people? The
:06:19. > :06:26.statistics from the UK at the moment do not look good because they do not
:06:27. > :06:30.reflect the success rates. Many women trying to have a baby now
:06:31. > :06:38.froze their eggs using the older slow freezing method. I believe is
:06:39. > :06:42.more women freeze their eggs and come back to use their eggs in the
:06:43. > :06:48.UK, we will see improved success rates. Even if success rates are
:06:49. > :06:53.improving, at prices starting from ?4000, egg freezing is not cheap. I
:06:54. > :07:00.want to find out if it is worth it and I am meeting Sarah who had Home
:07:01. > :07:02.Equity frozen in 2015. I came out of a long-term relationship, I knew
:07:03. > :07:08.that I had always wanted kids so I kind of went into panic mode about
:07:09. > :07:14.my age because I was 38. What was it like? A lot of ups and downs, I felt
:07:15. > :07:19.very emotional. Not because of the physical side of things, but I think
:07:20. > :07:24.because of the questions about your age and why have you got to this
:07:25. > :07:29.stage? Sarah was able to freeze five healthy eggs which are now in
:07:30. > :07:32.storage. How do you feel about your decision? I feel good, I had to take
:07:33. > :07:37.action and I feel I have done something positive and it was better
:07:38. > :07:41.than not doing anything at all. Even for me, a doctor, it is a lot to get
:07:42. > :07:45.your head around but I can see how for many, even with the risks and
:07:46. > :07:48.costs involved, it is a chance they are prepared to take.
:07:49. > :07:50.And Zoe joins us now, along with Ally, who used
:07:51. > :07:59.the flash-freezing method to have twins Molly and Monty.
:08:00. > :08:07.You can probably hear them! It is bedtime, they must be tired. Are you
:08:08. > :08:15.all right? Hello! We will have a chat with your money and you can
:08:16. > :08:17.come and say hello. Sorry, you highlighted the success rate was
:08:18. > :08:23.very low, although it does give women who can afford it a bigger
:08:24. > :08:26.chance of having babies. What conclusion have you drawn? I think
:08:27. > :08:31.that experience of making that film gave me the information I needed to
:08:32. > :08:36.make an informed choice. Even though going through that process, probably
:08:37. > :08:39.only a one in four chance it will be successful and give me a child, I
:08:40. > :08:44.have decided to go ahead and freeze my eggs. You cannot hearing from
:08:45. > :08:52.people who have gone through it to get enough information and thank you
:08:53. > :08:57.for coming in, Ally. Where did it start? It started in 2007 when I was
:08:58. > :09:02.41 and I had split up from my partner. I was at a stage where I
:09:03. > :09:05.thought if I want to have children, a need to do something about this.
:09:06. > :09:09.The quick freezing method was just coming in and I thought, I need to
:09:10. > :09:13.make a decision, and I decided to freeze my eggs which are used when I
:09:14. > :09:19.was 47 and I have Molly and Monty. As they are three and a half. It was
:09:20. > :09:27.very brave of you to go it alone. You froze 27 eggs initially. And
:09:28. > :09:33.then how many were viable? Out of 27, three survived. And out of those
:09:34. > :09:40.three that were fertilised and put back in me, I had the twins. And
:09:41. > :09:44.because I was 47 which was allowed to have three put back in so I was
:09:45. > :09:48.extremely lucky. One of the challenges to do this process as
:09:49. > :09:53.early as possible and at 41, it was late. There were crimes are not
:09:54. > :09:58.abnormalities which is why the eggs did not survive -- there were
:09:59. > :10:01.abnormalities. So if you are thinking about it, check your
:10:02. > :10:05.fertility and do it as early as possible. People are not informed
:10:06. > :10:11.enough about it. That is definitely the case. There is the lot of
:10:12. > :10:14.negative press about this and it is definitely not suitable for
:10:15. > :10:19.everybody and the financial implications of it mean it is not an
:10:20. > :10:22.option for a lot of people but award encourage women from around the age
:10:23. > :10:27.of 30 to start looking into it and becoming better informed. If Molly
:10:28. > :10:38.and Monty want to come over, they can do. Run over here and watch
:10:39. > :10:42.laces, do not trip over! Would you like some cake?
:10:43. > :10:46.Let's get you a little cake on my little saucer.
:10:47. > :10:51.We will talk about clinics. It is not available on the NHS. But you
:10:52. > :10:58.need to find a reputable clinic and compare prices. Because prices do
:10:59. > :11:02.vary and it is pricey as a procedure. What is the best way to
:11:03. > :11:07.do that? In addition to prices, there are three things I would say
:11:08. > :11:11.you need to consider. One is the consultant, the fertility expert,
:11:12. > :11:15.make sure they do NHS practice as well as private practice. Not for
:11:16. > :11:19.egg freezing but other things, so they are reputable. Go for a clinic
:11:20. > :11:22.using this technique because it is better technology and success rates.
:11:23. > :11:25.And there is nothing better than a recommendation for some body who has
:11:26. > :11:29.been through the process and has that experience. One must
:11:30. > :11:36.experience, Monty, is that nice cake? Looks like he is enjoying it!
:11:37. > :11:40.Good luck and looking forward to finding out how it goes and thank
:11:41. > :11:44.you, Ally. You can take the cake away. You will
:11:45. > :11:47.have to stay up a bit longer before bedtime.
:11:48. > :11:48.They are not going to sleep after all that sugar!
:11:49. > :11:50.Good luck with everything. Last series saw a young Victoria
:11:51. > :11:53.ascend to the throne, learn the royal ropes and meet
:11:54. > :12:00.and marry Albert. Series Two begins on Sunday night
:12:01. > :12:03.with a feisty Victoria, learning to balance her roles
:12:04. > :12:13.as both mother and monarch. I want to go riding. Riding, are you
:12:14. > :12:17.sure? Yes, of course I am sure. Forgive me, I'm afraid it would be
:12:18. > :12:26.most irregular for you to appear in public before you have been
:12:27. > :12:30.Churched. Churched? Your Majesty, it is customary for a woman to be
:12:31. > :12:36.repealed verified in Church before she rejoined society. And you are?
:12:37. > :12:44.Drummond, Sir Robert's Private secretary. Well, Mr Drummond, I am
:12:45. > :12:49.not a woman, I am a Queen. Well, that told him!
:12:50. > :13:00.Yes, every woman had to do it after the sin of childbirth, to be
:13:01. > :13:06.welcomed back into the community. So what else to recover in this series
:13:07. > :13:13.apart from being a mother? -- what else do you cover. All I can think
:13:14. > :13:18.about is babies, so many babies! We are currently on baby number four.
:13:19. > :13:25.We wrapped at 9pm last night, the Christmas special. Just back to
:13:26. > :13:30.London now and we have got a lot of babies and a lot of animals. And
:13:31. > :13:33.quite a bit of arguing, we understand. Interesting
:13:34. > :13:38.relationship. It is the early days of their married and the honeymoon
:13:39. > :13:46.and navigating the political balance within their marriage and how much
:13:47. > :13:50.workload Albert has and how much independence Victoria has and he was
:13:51. > :13:55.the master in the House is the question and leads to a clash of
:13:56. > :14:00.wills. We found out today you can read Queen Victoria's diaries online
:14:01. > :14:07.which I found fascinating. I assume that is something you have done or a
:14:08. > :14:14.biography, so how do you see her life? What is amazing is, what I
:14:15. > :14:17.love about her is given her position as Queen, you would think she would
:14:18. > :14:24.like to keep things to herself, but she is so unashamedly frank and it
:14:25. > :14:29.is really refreshing. Everything she thinks, she is very candid and vocal
:14:30. > :14:34.about her opinions and her thoughts. She is one of those prolific journal
:14:35. > :14:40.writers of history. So the access is enormous. As the first series has
:14:41. > :14:46.been incredibly successful globally. You have been accepted across the
:14:47. > :14:50.world. With the second series, do you approach it differently? You
:14:51. > :14:54.will be more confident. But are you taking anything from the first
:14:55. > :14:58.series you are building on now concentrating on perhaps? I guess it
:14:59. > :15:03.is covering those parts of history like the first series was very much
:15:04. > :15:06.Victoria on the day she became Queen were growing up, falling in love and
:15:07. > :15:10.navigating those things and we find her here in the early days of
:15:11. > :15:15.marriage and motherhood. And falling pregnant again. When the chin. --
:15:16. > :15:20.when she did not want to, and that is an interesting story I have not
:15:21. > :15:25.seen on screen, somebody in a very loving relationship in resenting the
:15:26. > :15:29.fact they are pregnant so it is quite interesting storytelling. And
:15:30. > :15:35.in the meantime, at the time we are dealing with the corn laws and/or
:15:36. > :15:39.things going on politically. It could go on and on, she did not die
:15:40. > :15:46.until she was 81, you play her at 21. LAUGHTER
:15:47. > :15:49.There is too much story, within that, in episode seven, we have
:15:50. > :15:54.taken a story from one of the journals, where they go to get lost,
:15:55. > :15:58.there is a storm, they get lost and stumble across a cottage, and people
:15:59. > :16:02.in the cottage do not know who they are, they spend an evening, they do
:16:03. > :16:06.not know, and they never did, they never knew who they were. There is
:16:07. > :16:11.just so much detail, it is pacing, how quickly do you go through her
:16:12. > :16:15.life... As well as the diaries, a lot of painting and sketching, and
:16:16. > :16:22.we have got this... We have this portrait. Self-portrait. 1835, when
:16:23. > :16:29.she was 16... The similarities there... Don't you think...?
:16:30. > :16:33.I am going to say it, you are a lot more pretty! LAUGHTER
:16:34. > :16:37.A lot more pretty. Not many people know
:16:38. > :16:39.that Queen Victoria because he could not propose
:16:40. > :16:47.to her, being the Queen. And she survived seven
:16:48. > :16:50.assassination attempts! Well, who else to send but Gyles
:16:51. > :16:52.to investigate how Victoria managed to dodge a bullet,
:16:53. > :17:06.on so many occasions? VOICEOVER: On the evening of Monday,
:17:07. > :17:10.30 of May, 1842, 23-year-old Queen Victoria and Prince Albert are
:17:11. > :17:17.taking their regular carriage ride through London's Royal Parks. An
:17:18. > :17:24.assassin steps from the shadows, aims, and fires. It seems
:17:25. > :17:28.incredible, but apparently Queen Victoria was expecting this attempt
:17:29. > :17:33.on her life, and had put herself deliberately in the line of fire.
:17:34. > :17:37.The day before, the same assassin had tried to shoot the Queen here,
:17:38. > :17:43.on the Mall, his handgun failed, he ran away. The Prime Minister, Sir
:17:44. > :17:48.Robert peel, close adviser to the Royals, hatched a plan to flush him
:17:49. > :17:52.out. -- Sir Robert Peel. He suggested that the royal couple take
:17:53. > :17:57.their widely known right around the Royal Parks the next day, as normal,
:17:58. > :18:01.and they agreed. You may imagine that our minds were not easy, it was
:18:02. > :18:07.written, we looked behind every tree, and I cast my eyes around in
:18:08. > :18:13.search of the rascal's face. Historian Barry Charles has examined
:18:14. > :18:16.this case in great detail. What happened that day? Queen Victoria
:18:17. > :18:20.and Prince Albert came out from Buckingham Palace, as they were
:18:21. > :18:27.coming back, that is when John Francis struck. He was a 19-year-old
:18:28. > :18:30.youth, an unemployed carpenter... Where was he? He was up against the
:18:31. > :18:37.wall of Buckingham Palace gardens, a lot of police, somebody really quite
:18:38. > :18:42.close to him, a constable... Did he have suspicions? Know, did not
:18:43. > :18:47.searching, did not stop him, as the royal party approached, he saluted,
:18:48. > :18:50.looking away from where John Francis was, that is when he stepped forward
:18:51. > :18:59.and fired. When he heard the bang, he turned around and Rab hold of
:19:00. > :19:04.him. So, eventually, Trounce bounced! Probable that there was no
:19:05. > :19:09.bullet in the gun. -- grabbed hold of it. Gunpowder, getting her
:19:10. > :19:14.attention. Francis was apprehended but it was clear that a better
:19:15. > :19:19.protection was needed, and a secret defence was created, it is still in
:19:20. > :19:23.the Royal collection and housed in the Museum of London. This is it,
:19:24. > :19:28.this parasol? What you cannot see it there is a layer of metal in between
:19:29. > :19:32.the two layers of silk. And the idea was... She would hold it like that,
:19:33. > :19:39.bullet would bounce off? Did she use it? I think not. It is far too
:19:40. > :19:43.heavy, it is 1.5 kilograms, she was a small woman! At least seven
:19:44. > :19:47.attackers can directly confronted Queen Victoria during her life,
:19:48. > :19:51.would-be assassins included a barman, a newspaper vendor, an
:19:52. > :19:56.artist and a dapper gentleman who struck her on the head with a cane.
:19:57. > :20:00.And what happens to these scoundrels? Well, it was treason,
:20:01. > :20:06.some ended up in mental hospitals, many of them were transported to
:20:07. > :20:11.Australia. John Francis was one of 240 complex thrown onto a barely
:20:12. > :20:20.seaworthy prison ship, transported to Van demons land, an island off
:20:21. > :20:23.Australia, now known as Tasmania. The Tasmanian archives still hold
:20:24. > :20:26.the record, and they make for fascinating reading. -- Van Diemen's
:20:27. > :20:33.Land. It is all here, all in all, he served four years hard labour. So
:20:34. > :20:39.what happens next? In Australia, his great-great-grandson, Alan Phillips,
:20:40. > :20:44.has the answer. He married a 16-year-old, they had ten children.
:20:45. > :20:52.When he was a builder, he built the town hall in Lord Stern, the Royal
:20:53. > :20:56.Theatre, and the gasworks... So, this unhappy story ends happily?
:20:57. > :21:00.Unfortunately not, the property market bottoms during the recession,
:21:01. > :21:03.he went to Victoria, he was virtually broke. -- Launceston. It
:21:04. > :21:10.is an irony that he ended up, trying to assassinate Victoria, living in
:21:11. > :21:18.the city of Victoria. -- living in Victoria. Yes! He lived until 1862,
:21:19. > :21:21.and died at that closes. Yes, his attempts on the life of Victoria and
:21:22. > :21:25.her stoical attempts supporting them, made the people love her more,
:21:26. > :21:27.she became the second longest serving monarch. Long live the
:21:28. > :21:42.Queen! STUDIO: Great stuff! Always keeping
:21:43. > :21:48.an eye on us... Very creepy... We have got something wrong, they are
:21:49. > :21:51.supposed to be on the back, to protect from the hair, not on the
:21:52. > :22:00.bottom bits... So we have got those wrong... So your headers not get
:22:01. > :22:10.greasy. We have got the antimacassars all wrong. Now, now...
:22:11. > :22:15.We are going to go Doctor Who... Do you think you are...!
:22:16. > :22:18.you discovered whilst filming Victoria.
:22:19. > :22:20.You and your ex-Doctor Who co-star, Matt Smith, worked out
:22:21. > :22:26.the royal characters you've played are related?
:22:27. > :22:42.I hope I have my facts right, which I may not have done... There we
:22:43. > :22:51.go... Great-great-grandmother as well. Technically, his fictional
:22:52. > :22:56.great-grandmother, I am technically his fictional great-grandmother. Not
:22:57. > :23:01.only the 11th doctor, but the 12th... Peter Capaldi... What is he
:23:02. > :23:07.doing? Do you see, because he played Charles the first, in a television

:23:09. > :23:16.eight uncle... -- great great way all from Doctor Who do you think you
:23:17. > :23:23.are this week... LAUGHTER It's been revealed today that high
:23:24. > :23:26.levels of inactivity amongst middle-aged people may be
:23:27. > :23:28.harming their health, and all 40-60 year olds should take
:23:29. > :23:31.a ten-minute brisk walk every day. Well, Kevin has been to meet
:23:32. > :23:33.some activity-seekers, who are keeping fit,
:23:34. > :23:34.earning money and helping the community from middle-age well
:23:35. > :23:48.into their retirement. 2.5 million of us go swimming every
:23:49. > :23:51.week. But swimming pools like this could be in danger of closing,
:23:52. > :23:57.because of a national shortage of lifeguards. So, what a surprise in
:23:58. > :24:13.solution is on the horizon... To help keep swimmers safe. Forget bay
:24:14. > :24:17.watch, this is grey watch! ! -- Baywatch. -- Greywatch. To combat
:24:18. > :24:25.the lack of lifeguards there has been a nationwide push to recruit
:24:26. > :24:29.pensioners. David is 74, John is 66. What made you, at this point of your
:24:30. > :24:33.career, want to become a lifeguard? I retired in May, after a couple of
:24:34. > :24:38.very good careers, and I did not want to stop, and I think that I am
:24:39. > :24:42.still young enough and fit enough to do this work. Were you concerned
:24:43. > :24:48.about what people would think, with you starting this career at an older
:24:49. > :24:53.age? That never crossed my mind, actually... Good man! John only
:24:54. > :24:59.qualified as a lifeguard this year, David has been doing the job for 28
:25:00. > :25:03.years. How much do you love it? I really do enjoy it, remember, I am a
:25:04. > :25:07.pensioner, everyday is a Saturday... I go in, when they call me, I am
:25:08. > :25:14.only ten minutes away, I am down there like a shot. The brains behind
:25:15. > :25:18.the campaign to attract more older lifeguards is Melanie Silverman, who
:25:19. > :25:23.works for a company responsible for 141 swimming pools across the
:25:24. > :25:27.country. What made you target pensioners? We usually go out and
:25:28. > :25:31.target students for the summer because it is a perfect summer job.
:25:32. > :25:34.We look at the workforce, and we saw that we have a lot of brilliant
:25:35. > :25:39.older lifeguards, fantastic role models for younger people, and just
:25:40. > :25:43.as fit, if not fitter than some of the youngsters that already work for
:25:44. > :25:48.us, so we thought, why not? Everyone assumes you have to be 19 years old,
:25:49. > :25:53.superfit, happy to run around in a tiny old swimsuit, that is not the
:25:54. > :25:58.reality of the job. So what does it take to become a lifeguard? Today,
:25:59. > :26:04.in Swindon, 12 people are midway through an intense week-long
:26:05. > :26:10.training course. , Brian Reid, who is looking for a new career, 15
:26:11. > :26:16.years after he should have retired. I found it a lot harder than I
:26:17. > :26:20.thought it would be. The theory, I am wondering if we can still
:26:21. > :26:23.remember on Saturday what I was told on Monday... In theory, I am all
:26:24. > :26:28.right, but when you get older, attention is the issue. Question has
:26:29. > :26:34.got to become a widely want to be a lifeguard, why now? You are either
:26:35. > :26:39.going to sit at home, watch the world go by, all you go out and do
:26:40. > :26:43.something, at 80, people do not... Jobs do not grow on trees. If you
:26:44. > :26:48.still can do what I can do, get out and do it. Helping 18-year-old Brian
:26:49. > :26:55.take the plunge, the course leader, Cheryl potting. What skills and
:26:56. > :26:59.qualities do you need? Mainly you need to be a good swimmer, just in
:27:00. > :27:05.case you need to do pool rescues, you need to be vigilant and take
:27:06. > :27:10.control of that pool. -- Cheryl Pottinger. We were not respecting
:27:11. > :27:15.him to be so good, we did not know he would be so switched on, he has
:27:16. > :27:20.the CPR, picking it up really well. At the end of the week, Brian will
:27:21. > :27:23.find out if he has passed, the national pool lifeguard
:27:24. > :27:28.qualification. What will it mean to you, passing the test at the end of
:27:29. > :27:35.the week. I will probably be very self-satisfied, yes. I think I shall
:27:36. > :27:39.be quite proud. Around 12,000 people a year are rescued from UK swimming
:27:40. > :27:45.pools, so what do people here think about their lives being left in the
:27:46. > :27:48.hands of older lifeguards? Generally, I would feel more
:27:49. > :27:52.confident with a younger person. They have tremendous skills,
:27:53. > :27:56.expertise, experience, which should be brought to bear. A bad idea, they
:27:57. > :28:02.would not be fit enough, it might child was drowning, to dive into a
:28:03. > :28:06.pool to be quick enough to pull them out. I don't think a pensioner would
:28:07. > :28:09.put themselves in that position if they could not do it. What about
:28:10. > :28:12.those who say that being a lifeguard is a young man's game? That is a
:28:13. > :28:20.misconception, everyone is stuck with this Baywatch syndrome and the
:28:21. > :28:24.sooner we get away from it, the better. Get down the pool, make some
:28:25. > :28:36.enquiries, go for it, you've got nothing to lose! STUDIO: That was a
:28:37. > :28:42.few weeks ago, so, Brian is with us, did he pass the test? APPLAUSE
:28:43. > :28:48.He did! Congratulations! Congratulations, you do not look a
:28:49. > :28:53.day near 80 years old. Come on, give me five days, at least! Brilliant
:28:54. > :28:57.news. How active have you been as a lifeguard since? I have been doing
:28:58. > :29:04.two or three sessions a week since then. Little red shorts on? Yes,
:29:05. > :29:10.with my white legs, yes! Thank you for doing what you are doing. We
:29:11. > :29:20.have got time to show a lovely picture of you here... He played an
:29:21. > :29:23.extra? Yes, he played the man in the crowd. Victoria is on Sunday night.
:29:24. > :29:26.You are going to be back... I'll be back tomorrow
:29:27. > :29:31.with Michael Ball and we'll be
