:00:26. > :00:34.Hello and welcome to the One Show with Alex Jones And Matt Baker.

:00:34. > :00:37.guest tonight is Matt's TV wife at the weekend. First she froliced

:00:37. > :00:40.with Hugh Dennis in the Great British Countryside. Then she had a

:00:40. > :00:45.consumer affair with Nick Knowles on That's Britain. To top it all

:00:45. > :00:50.off, she's now presenting a new show called Planet Earth Live, with

:00:50. > :00:52.Richard Hammond off of Top Gear. make it worse, she's only gone and

:00:52. > :00:59.brought him here tonight, it's Julia Bradbury and Richard Hammond!

:00:59. > :01:03.APPLAUSE Yes you minx. Stay apart boys. I

:01:03. > :01:10.love you both equally. We thought swords would sort it out. You are

:01:10. > :01:15.going to look after her, aren't you? I promise. He always looked

:01:15. > :01:21.after me. Helps me over fences and everything. He's very good. I was

:01:21. > :01:26.hoping you'd help me over fences. Yeah, nay way. We've all heard

:01:26. > :01:29.large parts of the UK are currently experiencing a drought. Now hi to

:01:29. > :01:37.put on wellies this morning because of the heavy drought we've been

:01:37. > :01:38.having. The drought ruined the washing I put out last night.

:01:38. > :01:41.interesting drought times. There was drought running off all my

:01:41. > :01:45.roofs and guttering. A lot of drought pouring everywhere. I had

:01:46. > :01:49.to dot welly thing. That deep in drought I was. Up to here in

:01:49. > :01:54.drought. We want to see how the drought is affecting you at home.

:01:54. > :01:59.Send us in your best pictures. want to see you braving the drought

:01:59. > :02:07.with your Macintosh on, under your drought umbrella jumping in the

:02:07. > :02:11.biggest drought puddles you can find. We'll show our favourites,

:02:12. > :02:16.without a drought! Get it? We will take a more serious look at the

:02:16. > :02:24.issue later on with Matt Allwright. And we'll talk to a man who usually

:02:24. > :02:27.does this. But he's planning to jump to earth from space. I cannot

:02:27. > :02:32.believe that. But yeah, we're talking to the man whose 1960

:02:32. > :02:36.record that he plans to break. A great show. First, the Queen braved

:02:36. > :02:42.the drought today to re-open the Cutty Sark in Greenwich, after it

:02:42. > :02:47.was ravaged by fire in 2007. In its heyday it was the fastest vessel on

:02:47. > :02:52.the seas. It's slowly returned to its former glory. The remains of a

:02:52. > :02:59.less well known ship were return totd UK after almost 350 years

:02:59. > :03:05.abroad. Larry Lamb set sale for The One Show to find out more.

:03:05. > :03:10.It's a bright, sunny afternoon and a stealthy foreign warship makes

:03:10. > :03:18.its way up the Thames. The Holland is the newest and most advanced

:03:18. > :03:26.ship in the royal Netherlands navy. On board, a precious cargo,

:03:26. > :03:29.something the Dutch stole from us a long time ago. It's a relic from a

:03:29. > :03:39.British warship and the story of how the Dutch came to own it is one

:03:39. > :03:40.

:03:40. > :03:48.of the darkest episodes of royal naval history. Launched in 1655 and

:03:48. > :03:53.originally called the naysby, the HMS Royal Charles bore Charles back

:03:53. > :03:59.to England from Holland for the restoration. But in 1667, the Dutch

:03:59. > :04:07.launched the surprise raid on the river Medway in Kent, destroying

:04:07. > :04:11.several ships and capturing the royal. Taken back to Holland, the

:04:11. > :04:17.royal Charles was broken up for scrap in 1673 with only the coat of

:04:18. > :04:21.arms from its stern being retained as a trophy. It has been held in

:04:21. > :04:26.Amsterdam's museum ever since. But now what remains of the royal

:04:26. > :04:32.Charles is finally being returned to Britain after 345 years as part

:04:32. > :04:40.of the Queen's Jubilee celebrations. Although the return is only going

:04:40. > :04:44.to be temporary. It's the commander's job to make sure the

:04:44. > :04:49.precious cargo arrives safely in British waters. The stone carving

:04:49. > :04:52.of the Royal Charles is very honour to have on board. How do you think

:04:52. > :04:58.your naval forebearers would feel about you returning the coat of

:04:58. > :05:04.arms to Britain? I think they're laughing in heaven. We've seen a

:05:04. > :05:09.lot of medals, but a lot of friendship between the Anglo-and

:05:09. > :05:12.Dutch fleets, especially nowadays. We have close cooperation with the

:05:12. > :05:15.Royal Navy. Now this extraordinary coat of arms will be handed over

:05:15. > :05:24.into the care of the National Maritime Museum with all the pomp

:05:24. > :05:28.and ceremony of a royal occasion. In Holland you have to imagine that

:05:28. > :05:32.this story is in every school book. It celebrates, sorry to say that,

:05:33. > :05:37.the power of Dutch marine, in the 17th century. It's rather

:05:37. > :05:41.interesting when in Britain, it was known as the Medway raid, when in

:05:41. > :05:51.fact if they had won, it would probably been called the battle of

:05:51. > :05:53.

:05:53. > :05:57.Medway. We call it the victory of the Medway. I've had to get up at

:05:57. > :06:07.the crack of dawn to be amongst the first people in Britain to see the

:06:07. > :06:09.

:06:09. > :06:14.carvings on British soil in over 345 years. You get so worried

:06:14. > :06:19.they're going to drop it. It's all a bit nervewracking. Watching,

:06:20. > :06:25.looking, officials from the museum here.

:06:25. > :06:28.Isn't it just a bit strange to have this symbol of one of the navy's

:06:29. > :06:32.greatest disasters used as part of the celebrations for the Diamond

:06:32. > :06:36.Jubilee? This is a great Dutch victory and a huge important trophy

:06:36. > :06:39.for the Dutch. They're lending it in this Diamond Jubilee shows

:06:39. > :06:44.extreme significance. Have you had any thoughts on perhaps not letting

:06:44. > :06:48.it go back? That's a delicious idea, but I think that better be taken up

:06:48. > :06:53.by authorities higher than me for that.

:06:53. > :06:59.The final task is to painstakingly put the two parts of the carving

:06:59. > :07:03.together, where one slip could cause irrepairable damage. Here it

:07:03. > :07:09.is, reassembled safe and sound. The detail in the carving is absolutely

:07:09. > :07:13.extraordinary. But for me, I can't help feeling that it's a reminder

:07:13. > :07:20.of what was perhaps the greatest disaster in our navy's history. But

:07:20. > :07:26.then I suppose to have it back on English soil, even if it is only

:07:26. > :07:30.temporaryily is rather poignant. Thanks Larry. Think we should hang

:07:30. > :07:36.onto that? Bless them for lending it to us, but it was ours to begin

:07:36. > :07:40.with. A very good point. Just make a model of it and send that back,

:07:40. > :07:46.and we'll keep that one. Or say that we never received?. Got lost

:07:46. > :07:51.in the post. If they're surprised at how light it is because it's

:07:51. > :07:55.fibreglass, just say it was when we got it. It looks amazing, this

:07:55. > :08:00.Planet Earth Live. We've seen the trails with you on. It's very, very

:08:00. > :08:05.exciting. It's ambitious, isn't it. It suddenly seems right now very

:08:05. > :08:09.ambitious. When do you set off to do this? I've been out already to

:08:09. > :08:15.Mexico to make friends and meet the grey whales, the wonderful grey

:08:15. > :08:25.whales. I've been in Monterray with the sea otters and a mini trip to

:08:25. > :08:25.

:08:25. > :08:29.He's introducing us to the black bears. I'm essentially going to

:08:29. > :08:35.spend the month in the north woods of Minnesota, every day interacting

:08:35. > :08:40.and tracking the bears. So Planet Earth Live goes live from May 6,

:08:40. > :08:48.what is it then? You two aren't together at all, are you? This is

:08:48. > :08:52.it. Yeah, it's a short-term thing, just so you know. It's kind of, you

:08:52. > :08:56.know, this could never have been done before. Technologically it

:08:56. > :09:02.wasn't possible to establish live links around the world. If I say

:09:02. > :09:06.it's a global snapshot, that sounds like a buzz word. It's a global

:09:06. > :09:08.live wildlife show. We'll be talking to one another. I'll be

:09:08. > :09:12.catching wup what's going on with the elephants and lions with

:09:12. > :09:18.Richard in Africa. He'll catch up with what I'm doing in America.

:09:18. > :09:21.There we go, look. That's lovely. Nice hair Richard. The point is you

:09:21. > :09:25.will know that at any given time what you're seeing, because it's

:09:25. > :09:30.live, that's happening. From the living room you know right now that

:09:30. > :09:34.pride of lions is being taken over, or the cubs that have run away, the

:09:34. > :09:37.bears are coming out of hibernation. That's happening now. It's a unique

:09:37. > :09:43.situation that's happening as I watch. How do you know the animals

:09:43. > :09:48.will turn up on time? You don't. You can't book them. Where will you

:09:48. > :09:52.be Richard? In Kenya in Masai Mara watching the lions, there's the

:09:52. > :09:58.marsh pride amongst others and drifting north to watch the

:09:58. > :10:04.elephants. Both tremendously social animals with complicated

:10:04. > :10:08.hierarchies. They've been on telly before. Yes the marsh lions. Notch,

:10:08. > :10:13.I'm desperate to meet. He's a fearsome creatures. He's legendary.

:10:13. > :10:16.They reckon he's fathered more lion cubs than any other lion in living

:10:16. > :10:21.memory in the Masai Mara. At the moment he dominates three or four

:10:21. > :10:30.prides and drifts about the place with four henchmen, doing what he

:10:30. > :10:34.likes, really. He's a male lion, they're a bit lazy really. They're

:10:34. > :10:39.conserving energy. There's no food. They are probably thinking, if I

:10:39. > :10:45.catch thwart hog, will it contain the energy I will expend catching

:10:45. > :10:48.it. They're wait fogt big one. wildebeest arrive in the next month.

:10:48. > :10:52.This is the key time, watching during this month. All of the

:10:52. > :10:54.animals, the young, are fighting for life. This is their fight for

:10:54. > :10:58.survival over the next few weeks. We're watching them around the

:10:58. > :11:02.world. When you're seeing fluffy bear cubs or fluffy elephants,

:11:02. > :11:06.that's great. But it's what perils they are facing. These are the guys

:11:06. > :11:11.that I've already had an encounter with one of the adult female black

:11:11. > :11:14.bears. They're incredible animals. They're very sociable. They're

:11:14. > :11:19.coming out of hibernation. The cubs are learning to climb for the first

:11:19. > :11:22.time. They've come out of the den. They're foraging for food for the

:11:22. > :11:27.first time. These are dangerous weeks for the cubs. This is when

:11:27. > :11:32.things can go very wrong for them. They're not the only animals that

:11:32. > :11:36.you've had a close encounter with. Here you are with a grey whale.

:11:36. > :11:44.Here you are with a grey whale. Gorgeous. Hello, beautiful creature,

:11:44. > :11:49.hello. I can't think of another instant in the wild, where an adult

:11:49. > :11:57.mother would encourage her young to go towards humans. It just wouldn't

:11:57. > :12:00.happen. You wouldn't find it with bears. And so strange and wonderful.

:12:00. > :12:04.They're going to want to be on They're going to want to be on

:12:04. > :12:08.telly. That is a phenomenon. Oh, is it, I was exactly where you were

:12:08. > :12:12.about a week later, filming for something else, hoping to see grey

:12:12. > :12:16.whales and in the a thing. It was my mothering natural world

:12:16. > :12:24.instincts. They just came for me. Did you do your special whale call?

:12:24. > :12:30.Yes, I did. There it is. It worked. Planet Earth Live begins on Sunday

:12:30. > :12:33.May 6 on BBC One at 7.50pm. Richard, if you bump into an elephant that

:12:33. > :12:40.seems to have a problem with its lower lumbar region, fear not.

:12:40. > :12:46.Watch this, because it may help you help the elephant.

:12:46. > :12:51.Here at west Midlands safari park when an animal suffers from aches

:12:51. > :12:56.and pains it might be given an unusual form of treatment, off the

:12:56. > :13:03.yol think, currently used as an alternative therapy for us, it

:13:03. > :13:06.involves the manipulation of muscles and joibts. Some are except

:13:06. > :13:12.-- sceptical. Today I'm meeting a man pushing the limits with this

:13:12. > :13:17.therapy with rather large patients. Tony is an osteopath. He's worked

:13:17. > :13:22.with over 300 different animal species and is now helping the

:13:22. > :13:26.elephants of West Midlands safari park. I'm a about the of a sceptic

:13:26. > :13:31.myself. I asked Tony to explain how it works with animals. It's quite a

:13:32. > :13:38.softly, soft lay proch, how is that different from doing physiotherapy

:13:38. > :13:41.for example? I can really only talk from the osteopathic point of view.

:13:41. > :13:47.We're looking at if you have a problem with a joint or set of

:13:47. > :13:50.muscles, you want to see what the effect is to the whole body. It's a

:13:50. > :13:54.holistic approach? Very much so. It's the visual assessment first.

:13:54. > :13:58.Feeling what's going on, and then straight into the treatment. You're

:13:59. > :14:08.going to show how that works? we'll show you how to do that and

:14:09. > :14:09.

:14:09. > :14:14.Five is a perfectly healthy female but is going to act as a model

:14:14. > :14:19.while Tony demonstrates his technique for animals with mobility

:14:19. > :14:24.issues. Initially, you don't rub your hands over the skin, but by

:14:24. > :14:31.applying pressure and feeling under, you can feel the subcutaneous

:14:31. > :14:37.structure and the muscles under the skin. Gently press in. That's

:14:38. > :14:41.amazing. Presumably the skin is so thick, how can you feel is muscle

:14:41. > :14:46.underneath? As soon as you take up the slack. She's shifting her

:14:46. > :14:52.weight and I can feel the muscle changing. Managing one sets of

:14:52. > :14:56.muscles affects the entire body. Even by working on a muscle here,

:14:56. > :15:04.you are keying straight into the central nervous system of thisage

:15:04. > :15:08.in a -- of this animal in a non- invasive way. This elephant lost

:15:08. > :15:12.her parents to poach ers in South Africa. Prematurely weaned, she

:15:12. > :15:19.developed problems with her joints. Every two weeks she steps inside to

:15:19. > :15:26.receive her treatment. Teaming up with vet Chris Collis, Tony uses

:15:26. > :15:31.the most unlikely of diagnostic tools. Tell me what you are doing

:15:31. > :15:36.with the thermal imaging camera? were looking at the internals of

:15:36. > :15:40.the el fan. When the muscles tighten up, the blood vessels shut

:15:40. > :15:43.down and it goes cold. This targeted approach has been used

:15:43. > :15:49.previously by Tony and Chris to treat horses and there is

:15:49. > :15:55.increasing evidence that it works on elephants. The hotter areas tell

:15:55. > :16:00.you there is more blood flow here than the greens and blues.

:16:00. > :16:04.Basically these cold areas are telling us that the muscles aren't

:16:04. > :16:08.doing us, that there is reduced movement through these parts, so I

:16:08. > :16:14.know she is overusing the front legs and not using the back

:16:14. > :16:19.properly. The thermal images show that she has a problem with her

:16:19. > :16:25.back legs. Tony applies his skills to this area, but it is not a quick

:16:25. > :16:31.fix. She's had many sessions and there are many more to come.

:16:31. > :16:36.Tabo has got much better since Tony has been working on her. She's a

:16:36. > :16:40.lot freer in her joints now. She moves better and will have less

:16:40. > :16:45.problems in the future. It is easy to be sceptical about new ideas and

:16:46. > :16:50.treatments, but the keepers here have seen real positive changes in

:16:50. > :16:55.her temperament and her movement, so anything that can help an animal

:16:55. > :17:01.in my mind is worth investigating further. There we go, Richard, a

:17:01. > :17:06.little nugget for you. I will take that with me. Elephants' emotions

:17:06. > :17:10.are complicated. So it is worth looking at. Stay away. They are

:17:10. > :17:16.wild. We are joined by Felix Baumgartner and Colonel Joe

:17:16. > :17:23.Kittinger. Felix is planning to be the first person to jump from

:17:23. > :17:28.120,000 feet. This is unbelievable. We can see there you are trying to

:17:28. > :17:33.skydive from space to land on Earth. For anybody who hasn't heard about

:17:33. > :17:37.this, it is mind-blowing. How is this going to happen? I'm going to

:17:37. > :17:42.put on my spacesuit. I'm sitting in a capsule like on the screen.

:17:42. > :17:48.That's hanging underneath a helium balloon. It takes off and then it

:17:48. > :17:54.takes about three hours to level off. I'm at 120 ,000 feet. Then I

:17:54. > :17:59.depressurise that capsule. I try to climb out. I'm standing on that

:17:59. > :18:04.step and I take off. Within the first 25 seconds I'm accelerating

:18:04. > :18:08.so fast I'm breaking the speed of sound. Will you be the first

:18:08. > :18:12.parachutist to break the speed of sound. What effect will that have

:18:12. > :18:17.on your body? That's biggest unknown. We've been testing a lot

:18:17. > :18:22.on the ground. Simulating a lot. But what happens to a human when he

:18:22. > :18:30.breaks the speed of sound, nobody can tell. Lots of people at home

:18:30. > :18:33.will be thinking, "Why?" That was on my mind. My mom was asking the

:18:33. > :18:39.same question. I'm a competitive person and I always like to fly.

:18:39. > :18:44.That's why I started skydiving. When you spend so much time doing a

:18:44. > :18:49.sport, my childhood hero is the one who has been there and done it.

:18:49. > :18:56.Your record is 102,000 feet. What does it feel like on your body when

:18:56. > :19:01.you are at that height and hurtling towards the Earth? I only went at

:19:01. > :19:07.613 miles per hour. Feel licks be going 700 something miles per hour.

:19:07. > :19:12.I did not go supersonic. I reached terminal velocity at 90,000 feet.

:19:12. > :19:18.From then on you slow down but still have terminal velocity all

:19:18. > :19:24.the way down through the atmosphere. And your glove came off didn't it?

:19:24. > :19:30.No, it didn't work. My hand swelled up to twice its normal size and I

:19:30. > :19:33.couldn't use it. It was just a small problem I had. Minor space

:19:33. > :19:37.issue! Isn't it right that half the people who've attempted this

:19:37. > :19:43.haven't been successful? What are the big risks for Felix, would you

:19:43. > :19:47.say, Joe? Feel isics is the ideal person to do the job. He has a goal.

:19:47. > :19:51.He is a professional athlete, a great skydiver and he's dreamed

:19:51. > :19:56.about doing it for a long time. I'm delighted to be a part of the

:19:56. > :20:00.project. We have a great sponsor, a great team. Our job is to get him

:20:00. > :20:04.up there and down safely. That moment when you open that door

:20:04. > :20:08.and stand out and look down to Earth, that is going to be

:20:08. > :20:12.something isn't it? That was an amazing moment. I was climbing out.

:20:12. > :20:18.I only had ten seconds to stay there, as I only have ten minutes

:20:18. > :20:25.of oxygen. My botle is only providing ten minutes of Jen, so I

:20:25. > :20:31.had to hurry. I could see the curvature of the Earth. The sky was

:20:31. > :20:36.black. But it is the ultimate free- fall and I enjoyed it all the way

:20:36. > :20:41.down. I feel sorry for your mother. No doubt she will be feeling sick.

:20:41. > :20:45.Good luck. It is happening in the summer but there's a window

:20:45. > :20:49.weather-wise? Between July and August, depending on the wind. It

:20:49. > :20:55.will be a interesting summer. hope you are successful. What's

:20:55. > :20:59.next for you? I think I'm going to retire after this. Oh! You cannot

:20:59. > :21:06.top that. I'm sure. We'll keep everything crossed for you and

:21:06. > :21:09.hopefully in a few years you will be sat where Joe is. Will you be

:21:09. > :21:15.forgiven for forgetting that there's a drought on with all the

:21:15. > :21:19.rain we've been getting. But being careful about how much water we use

:21:19. > :21:24.has never been more important. That's why The One Show sunflowers

:21:24. > :21:30.will only be watered by hand for the duration of the ban. Don't

:21:30. > :21:35.water Chris's, as that one's big enough already. Mine looks pathetic.

:21:35. > :21:39.Anyway, and don't show that picture. That's the most unflattering

:21:39. > :21:44.picture ever. But what exactly does the hosepipe ban mean for us? Lucy

:21:44. > :21:49.Siegle has been helping One Show viewers in Swindon to find out.

:21:49. > :21:54.You've only got to look at the water levels in our reservoir to

:21:54. > :21:58.see that in England we've got a bit of a problem. 20 million people are

:21:58. > :22:01.living with water restrictions, and even if it rains all spring it

:22:01. > :22:05.won't be enough to get them lifted. So time for the One Show to get on

:22:05. > :22:10.the road. As is tradition, whenever I do a film about droughts it

:22:10. > :22:15.begins to rain. Nevertheless we wanted the find out exactly what

:22:15. > :22:21.these restrictions mean and answer some of your questions about what's

:22:21. > :22:26.allowed and what isn't. Am I still allowed to water my garden or allot

:22:26. > :22:30.You can use a watering can or a bucket but you cannot use a hose.

:22:30. > :22:33.And you are also not allowed to use a sprinkler. They use as much water

:22:33. > :22:39.in just one hour as the average family of four uses in an entire

:22:39. > :22:43.day. Here in Swindon we are in one of

:22:43. > :22:46.the water restriction areas, so am I allowed to wash my car? Yes,

:22:46. > :22:50.remember that it is just the hosepipe that's banned. If you are

:22:50. > :22:54.using water from a bucket you can legally use as much water as you

:22:54. > :23:00.want, but as water is in short supply at the moment it would be

:23:00. > :23:04.good to use as little as possible. If I take Meg out for a walk in

:23:04. > :23:08.this weather, am I allowed to hose her down before she goes back in

:23:08. > :23:14.the house? This one depends on where you live. If you are with

:23:14. > :23:19.South East, southern, Sutton and east Surrey, south-east or central,

:23:19. > :23:22.then fine. In the Angela and Thames Water regions you can only use a

:23:22. > :23:28.hosepipe for health and safety reasons. I'm afraid mud isn't one

:23:28. > :23:32.of those. So for a muddy Meg or Harvey it is back to the bucket or

:23:32. > :23:36.sponge. Sit true a shower uses less water than a bath.? There is only

:23:36. > :23:46.one way to find out? Let's start the shower and see if it gives us

:23:46. > :23:51.

:23:51. > :23:56.enough water to fill a bath. Let's give it five minutes.

:23:56. > :23:59.That doesn't look very deep did. I would want more water in a bath. So

:23:59. > :24:04.in this case, an after shower uses less water than a bath. However,

:24:04. > :24:09.fit was a power shower, that would be a different story.

:24:09. > :24:14.Don't worry, we are not going to waste the water. Will it the garden

:24:14. > :24:18.no end of good. I'm not sure about the ducks though. With regard to

:24:18. > :24:23.the drought, why are fountains running and sports pitches still

:24:23. > :24:28.being watered? Public fountains are only allowed to run on recycled

:24:28. > :24:31.water. But some football rugby, cricket and golf courses have an

:24:31. > :24:36.exemption and are allowed to carry on watering the grass using a

:24:36. > :24:40.hosepipe. But for the moment for 20 million of us at least, come rain

:24:40. > :24:47.or shine, it is time to pack away those hosepipes. Thank you Lucy.

:24:47. > :24:50.Lucy has gone to Peru, so Matt Allwright is with us tonight. Lots

:24:50. > :24:55.of people will be sitting at home thinking, it is pouring outside,

:24:55. > :25:00.how long can this hosepipe ban go on for? The hosepipe ban could be

:25:00. > :25:03.going on indefinitely. They've not put an end on that, but what we are

:25:03. > :25:07.looking forward to now is next winter. That's the crucial bit. If

:25:07. > :25:11.we have another dry winter, next winter, we could be in trouble. We

:25:12. > :25:16.need to get good winter rain. There's a difference, apparently,

:25:16. > :25:21.between winter and summer rain. We need winter rain. In the

:25:21. > :25:28.consistency of it? No, it is all water. It is not like winter rain

:25:28. > :25:34.is drier or wetter than summer rain. It is about what permeates down.

:25:34. > :25:39.Winter rain doesn't evaporate but goes into the ground water. The

:25:39. > :25:43.reservoirs and the farmers and the rivers and gardens are benefiting

:25:43. > :25:47.from the gallons we are seeing outside. We've got a graphic here

:25:47. > :25:53.that shows how much rain we have had this year in comparison to

:25:53. > :26:01.previous years. It is almost half. If we look, average rainfall for

:26:01. > :26:06.the south of England in 2010-11 we've had two bad years one after

:26:06. > :26:10.the other. Before it was followed bay good year. That's why we are in

:26:10. > :26:15.trouble now. You can see from the parts of Britain that are affected

:26:15. > :26:21.by the hosepipe ban, they are in red. At the moment it does look

:26:21. > :26:27.like a north-west south-east divide. The red is the seven water areas

:26:27. > :26:31.where there's a ban. The only one which isn't sure is Cambridge Water.

:26:31. > :26:34.She say there's a medium risk where they might have to impose a

:26:34. > :26:38.restriction. People say it always rains in Wales, but who is laughing

:26:38. > :26:44.now? Has anybody been prosecuted for

:26:44. > :26:47.using a hosepipe? There is one anecdotal case in the Thames Water

:26:47. > :26:50.region of one gentleman caught bay police officer use hosepipe. It was

:26:50. > :26:55.because he gave the officer some lip that he received a prosecution.

:26:55. > :26:59.It is the only one. Prosecutions are not what water companies wants.

:26:59. > :27:06.They cost money. They take time. And they say that the advice they

:27:06. > :27:10.are giving out is working. People are being responsible off their own

:27:10. > :27:16.what and work hard to bring down the amount they use. It will be

:27:17. > :27:23.tricky for the people with a lot of cars. No, because you are allowed

:27:23. > :27:29.buckets. I put them in one by one bath them. You've got 15 cars?

:27:29. > :27:33.Something like that. Mostly old and broken. And muddy. Talking of

:27:33. > :27:38.washing things. We asked for your drought pictures. This is Cooper

:27:38. > :27:44.aged two, washing his wellies outside, Bromley. This is Philip

:27:44. > :27:50.from Kent. This is me jumping in from Kent. This is me jumping in

:27:50. > :27:56.15cms of bone-dry water. Can I just say, the lady that sent this this

:27:56. > :28:02.is incredibly brave, but when you read the back it is her husband, my

:28:02. > :28:07.lovely wife Louise wearing her drought attire. She will be so

:28:07. > :28:12.pleased! And this is Poppy, who usually only gets to pad until the

:28:12. > :28:22.local stream. Is that a pudle? That's from David in Derbyshire.

:28:22. > :28:22.

:28:22. > :28:29.Talking of Wipe Out and things, it's the last series of Total

:28:29. > :28:35.Wipeout. How can that be, because people love it! It is because we

:28:35. > :28:39.knew it had a shelf life. It has to knew it had a shelf life. It has to

:28:39. > :28:46.end while it is still fresh. Matt and I have been asked to do it and

:28:46. > :28:50.we've always said, no way! I salute everyone who did it because it is

:28:50. > :28:53.terrifying. Good luck with everything.
