:00:22. > :00:25.That's why she'll never do that again.
:00:25. > :00:29.Hello, friends, and welcome to The One Show with Alex Jones.
:00:29. > :00:32.And Chris Evans. Now across the country tonight
:00:32. > :00:37.reunions are taking place to mark the 30th anniversary of one of the
:00:37. > :00:44.most important weekends of the Falklands War.
:00:44. > :00:50.We asked anyone who had pictures of that time to send this in. We put
:00:50. > :00:54.them in a very special One Show exhibition.
:00:54. > :00:57.So tonight with the help of many of the families who sent in their
:00:57. > :00:58.pictures we will be opening the first ever One Show public photo
:00:58. > :01:00.exhibition. But now let's meet tonight's guests.
:01:00. > :01:05.Desert Island delight - Kirsty Young.
:01:05. > :01:10.And footballing film star Michael Sheen.
:01:10. > :01:16.As you heard, we are putting together our very first One Show
:01:16. > :01:21.exhibition, very exciting. Will you do the honours of opening it...
:01:21. > :01:29.the public? I would love to. Have you opened anything before, Kirsty?
:01:29. > :01:34.Probably a supermarket way back in the day. Really? How much did it...
:01:34. > :01:39.Probably more than you could afford. How about you? A packet of crisps
:01:39. > :01:47.in my time! No, I opened a youth club in Port Talbot, any home.
:01:47. > :01:53.you're both good with a ribbon and scissors? Yes. Was a ribbon
:01:53. > :01:58.involved? It was. It's so Carpet Warehouse. We'll be speaking to
:01:58. > :02:03.Michael about his celebrity Old Trafford event in a bit And how
:02:04. > :02:06.Kirsty will be honouring the emergency services in a ceremony.
:02:06. > :02:10.In April we introduced you to daredevil Gary Connery as he
:02:10. > :02:13.prepared for the stunt of his life. He was planning to jump out of a
:02:13. > :02:15.helicopter and attempt to be the first person ever to land without
:02:16. > :02:18.using a parachute. And then it started to rain and
:02:19. > :02:26.rain and rain. It's taken almost two months for conditions to be
:02:26. > :02:34.perfect for the jump, but this week Gary finally took the plunge.
:02:34. > :02:39.going to be exiting the helicopter at 2,400 feet. We fly approximately
:02:39. > :02:46.a mile. Outwardly I am calm and obviously I don't step off the edge
:02:46. > :02:51.until in my head I am ready. It scares me for sure. Yes, I am very
:02:51. > :03:01.excited and nervous. When he goes up in that helicopter... How will
:03:01. > :03:33.
:03:33. > :03:43.Come on, Gary! Come on, Gary! Gary!
:03:43. > :03:53.
:03:53. > :03:58.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE It was so comfortable, so soft. My
:03:58. > :04:08.calculations have obviously worked out - and I'm glad they did. I am
:04:08. > :04:12.
:04:12. > :04:16.relieved it's all over. The bird man! Congratulations, Gary,
:04:16. > :04:21.first of all. Thank you. But how close were you to opening that
:04:21. > :04:25.parachute? Not at all. Seriously? Seriously. I - straight out of the
:04:25. > :04:29.helicopter, I knew this is it. I'm going for it. I did have the backup
:04:29. > :04:31.of a parachute, but I had absolutely no intention of
:04:31. > :04:35.deploying it. What about the seconds before you leapt out of the
:04:35. > :04:40.helicopter, the final checks - you were checking the path will, you
:04:40. > :04:46.had the right angle of descent, whether you the right wind and
:04:46. > :04:48.thins like that? Yeah, myself and my wing man Mark was helping me out
:04:48. > :04:54.where we should leave the helicopter. He was the guy shooting
:04:54. > :05:00.the footage. Thank you to Mark. He was excellent. Once we had spotted
:05:00. > :05:04.and done some test jumps earlier in the day, we had spotted where it
:05:04. > :05:08.was. Thankfully for your wife and children you were completely
:05:08. > :05:12.unharmed in this. And any future children. Any future children.
:05:12. > :05:17.LAUGHTER Weirdly, the only person... Sorry.
:05:17. > :05:21.- that was harmed was our director Dan. Here's a look at what happened.
:05:21. > :05:28.I guess I haven't really digested myself what's happened. You all
:05:28. > :05:32.right? Yeah, fine. Someone's just fallen over. Go on, Gary. You
:05:32. > :05:35.didn't fall over. I have fallen from a much greater height than
:05:35. > :05:40.that. Typical One Show - this guy leaps from a helicopter, not a
:05:40. > :05:44.scratch. Our director falls straight over, nearly breaks his
:05:45. > :05:48.leg. The poor bloke - no-one was interested. You cared about him.
:05:48. > :05:52.Thank you so much. They were all just in the moment. You had the
:05:52. > :05:56.extra capacity, didn't you, to think about other things? You would
:05:56. > :06:01.think with all of that preparation, someone would have cleared up all
:06:01. > :06:06.of those boxes. Let's talk about those because you want a special
:06:06. > :06:10.mention for the box people, don't you? Yes, I would like to say a
:06:10. > :06:19.huge thank you. We had support from a bunch of people we didn't know.
:06:19. > :06:22.We put it out in forums on base jumping forums.
:06:22. > :06:26.Some gave me a nice watch to wear. Everybody just pulled together.
:06:26. > :06:34.Without them, it wouldn't have happened. When you hit, what speed
:06:34. > :06:41.were you doing? 70mph, something like that? Mark?Ish! About 65.
:06:41. > :06:45.apologise. So when you hit box at 70mph, how does it feel? In truth,
:06:45. > :06:49.because of the preparation and sizes of the boxes we were using I
:06:49. > :06:55.felt absolutely nothing. scrapes? Nothing at all. You're
:06:55. > :06:59.lucky it worked. Is it time now to pack up the suit in a box and call
:06:59. > :07:03.it day? Absolutely not. I have some other things in the pipeline.
:07:03. > :07:08.what? They're top secret. OK. Not necessarily this suit related - I
:07:08. > :07:11.am going to get fired as a human firework.
:07:11. > :07:16.LAUGHTER All right.
:07:16. > :07:20.But obviously I've got to convince people it's going to work. But I am
:07:20. > :07:24.hoping this is a springboard to allow to to happen. And convince
:07:24. > :07:28.your wife. Oh, she's all right. She's not going to be in the
:07:28. > :07:32.firework. We heard a story that you carry your flying suit with you
:07:32. > :07:38.wherever you are in case there is a flying opportunity. Absolutely.
:07:38. > :07:44.Come on. That can't be true. I have a rig with me plost of the time.
:07:44. > :07:48.rig? Yes, a base rig. I think we have some footage of
:07:48. > :07:52.Beachy Head and the Eiffel Tower. Were these opportune moments?
:07:52. > :07:57.Surely you must have realised with the Eiffel Tower - you didn't drive
:07:57. > :08:02.up and go, oh, there's the Eiffel Tower? No, we drove up specifically
:08:02. > :08:09.for that. Beachy Head? That was another day trip. Did they know you
:08:09. > :08:16.were going to do that or did you go up as a tourist? No, I had my
:08:16. > :08:21.parachute in a backpack. Was that naughty? Did you get arrested?
:08:21. > :08:29.exactly. There is a long story. I won't bore you with it. Bore us
:08:29. > :08:32.with it afterwards. A round of applause for Gary. Safe and well!
:08:32. > :08:37.Now, Michael, you actually get a mention in this next film, a film
:08:37. > :08:40.we think you're going to love. Are you thrilled?
:08:40. > :08:46.I am. Let's find out. Ruth Goodman's been to your home
:08:46. > :08:49.town to learn all about one of your heroes. In this house in Port
:08:50. > :08:58.Talbot lived a man as Welsh as they come.
:08:58. > :09:04.And with a voice to match. Hush, the babies are sleeping, the
:09:04. > :09:10.farmers, the fishers, the tradesmen, pensioners, schoolteacher, postman
:09:10. > :09:15.and publican, the undertaker, fancy woman, dress maker, preacher, the
:09:15. > :09:19.web-footed cockle women and the tidy wives. That valleys bread
:09:19. > :09:23.voice could only belong to the actor Richard Burton, and he first
:09:23. > :09:27.learned its full power out here on the hills above the coal and steel
:09:27. > :09:37.town of Port Talbot, but when he first roared into life in 1925, it
:09:37. > :09:41.was not as a Burton, but a Jenkins. Richard was born one of 12 into a
:09:41. > :09:51.mining family. When his mother died later in childbirth, he was sent
:09:51. > :09:51.
:09:51. > :09:58.away from an alcoholic father to his sister, Cecilia. Here, sis gave
:09:58. > :10:03.him the attention he craved, but this didn't go down well in his new
:10:03. > :10:09.home as his friend Betty remembers. The postman didn't get on well with
:10:09. > :10:13.Ritchie. I think there was a bit of jealousy. I think her wife made
:10:13. > :10:22.more of Ritchie than he did. That's what we thought at the time.
:10:22. > :10:27.Richard left home, and at 16, he was taken in by his English teacher
:10:27. > :10:33.and mentor Philip Burton, from whom he'd take his name. It was Master
:10:33. > :10:43.Burton that helped him develop that extraordinary voice here in the
:10:43. > :10:47.
:10:47. > :10:52.parlour. Used to bang on the door and go, will you be quote, boys? He
:10:52. > :10:56.used to give him classes to get rid of the Welsh accent. When it was
:10:56. > :11:00.all a bit too much for the neighbours, the hillside - what a
:11:00. > :11:05.better way to learn voice projection? From the Welsh hills to
:11:05. > :11:09.the Hollywood hills via a rave success on Broadway Richard signed
:11:10. > :11:17.to 20th Century Fox and became one of the highest-earning movie stars
:11:17. > :11:22.of the '60s. To cap it all, in 1964, he married the other big star of
:11:22. > :11:30.the decade, Elizabeth Taylor. Two years later in Warner Brothers'
:11:30. > :11:34.Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf, their fiery portrayal of a marriage
:11:34. > :11:38.hitting the rocks hit the big screens, much of it inspired by
:11:38. > :11:44.their offscreen romance. Liz won an Oscar, but Richard would be
:11:44. > :11:51.nominated seven times during his career - a far cry from his life in
:11:51. > :11:55.the steel and coal town of Port Talbot.
:11:55. > :11:58.Richard's diaries, held in the archives there, show he was already
:11:58. > :12:03.ready for bigger things. I was struck by the character that came
:12:03. > :12:07.out of the pages. He was interested in drama. There is about 40
:12:07. > :12:12.mentions of Richard going to the cinema. He's going almost every
:12:12. > :12:16.week. I think the cinema was an exciting window to the world for
:12:16. > :12:21.Richard. Despite his later stardom, Wales never left him.
:12:21. > :12:29.Well, by God, James Joyce was right. There is one place you do belong to,
:12:29. > :12:33.and it is in my case where I came from, Wales. Stick for stay, stone
:12:33. > :12:39.for stone, blade of gra, blade of grass were exactly the same as when
:12:39. > :12:44.I was a child. The coal that once poured out of Port Talbot has all
:12:45. > :12:49.but stopped but it still churns out great actors. Antony Hopkins is
:12:49. > :12:53.from here, and so too the young Michael Sheen. Who is to say
:12:53. > :12:59.whether there will be more - mind you, it would be rather hard to
:12:59. > :13:04.match THAT voice. Burton died at 58. Vodka and 60-plus cigarettes a day
:13:04. > :13:11.hadn't helped. He was buried in a Welsh red suit with Dylan Thomas
:13:11. > :13:16.poems by his side. There is talk of a blue plaque in
:13:16. > :13:20.Connault Street to this Welsh legend. Here's one to be going on
:13:20. > :13:26.with. Come on. What did you open? You
:13:26. > :13:31.just opened something. See on that blue plaque there - there is one on
:13:31. > :13:34.the first house Richard lived in in London in Hampstead, which I was
:13:34. > :13:39.asked to unveil on the morning I opened in Hamlet, a port that he
:13:39. > :13:42.had played as well. How apt. Do you have a blue plaque in Port Talbot?
:13:42. > :13:48.I don't. He's not dead yet. LAUGHTER
:13:48. > :13:57.I have some paving stones. That's the main criteria for that. I see.
:13:57. > :14:01.Yeah. OK. Let's move on, anyway. How much of a hero... Got a blue
:14:01. > :14:06.shirt on. Yeah, I have drawn a little blue plaque and stuck it on
:14:06. > :14:13.myself! Yeah, he was a huge, huge unfluence coming from a town where
:14:13. > :14:17.Antony Hopkins came from as well. They have produced some gems.
:14:17. > :14:17.some incredibly successful, talented people as well as Rob
:14:17. > :14:22.Brydon. LAUGHTER
:14:22. > :14:28.Of course you're a friend of his, so you can say that. A massive
:14:28. > :14:32.influence not just as an actor, but someone who came from a that town
:14:32. > :14:35.and did very well, because coming from Port Talbot, not necessarily
:14:35. > :14:40.feeling confident about people being interested in there, so
:14:40. > :14:44.someone coming from there like Richard Burton, a massive influence.
:14:44. > :14:48.Surely you must have had mentions of playing a biopic of Richard
:14:48. > :14:54.Burton. I was saying to Kirsty it's a tough thing playing someone who
:14:54. > :14:58.does what you do, but better. don't mind. I don't, but can I say,
:14:58. > :15:02.that voice. Michael just did the voice while that film was on. It
:15:02. > :15:08.was unbelievable. Will you do it? That charisma - that - no. It's
:15:08. > :15:15.just - you hear - "You hear those tones. It's very hard to replicate
:15:15. > :15:19.that." Is somebody writing the script?
:15:19. > :15:25.believe there is a script. Honestly, I would like to develop something
:15:25. > :15:29.myself, one day. I also think something that affected Richard was
:15:29. > :15:33.coming from a town like Port Talbot and then going to Hollywood. Once
:15:33. > :15:38.you have left a town like Port Talbot, it is very hard to feel
:15:38. > :15:41.like you totally belong again, once you have done other stuff. You also
:15:41. > :15:45.feel you don't belong in somewhere like Hollywood because you came
:15:45. > :15:52.from somewhere like that. I identify with certain aspects and I
:15:52. > :15:58.would like to explore that. He went back to do The Passion. You came
:15:58. > :16:02.back to talk to us about that. 2000 people came to take part with you.
:16:02. > :16:07.It was a non-stop 72 hour performance. One performance lasted
:16:07. > :16:11.for three days over the Easter weekend, over 2000 local people
:16:11. > :16:16.were involved. It began with about 200 people watching what happened
:16:16. > :16:20.on the beach, Good Friday morning, at about dawn. It ended on Sunday
:16:20. > :16:24.night with 15,000 people standing around a roundabout watching the
:16:25. > :16:29.end of the show. It was a life- changing experience. You were
:16:29. > :16:34.incredibly supportive. It was amazing, how could you not be? You
:16:34. > :16:38.like to push the boundaries. What next in your crazy mind? It is hard
:16:38. > :16:44.to know where to go. You were playing football in 90 degrees on
:16:44. > :16:51.Sunday. 15,000 people were not enough, I'm going for 70,000 at Old
:16:51. > :16:57.Trafford. Kirsty, you are here to talk about the brand new BBC 999
:16:57. > :17:01.Awards. Very special people are being honoured for these. There
:17:01. > :17:08.will be a special award. I'll tell you about them, the reason they
:17:08. > :17:11.came about, it is the BAFTAs on Sunday. People on television and in
:17:11. > :17:15.movies and good at giving themselves awards, but we know that
:17:15. > :17:21.what we do doesn't matter that much. So many people work in the
:17:21. > :17:26.emergency services. 999 has been going for 70 years. The phrase
:17:26. > :17:32.unsung heroes is such a cliche, but it really does apply. We are giving
:17:32. > :17:36.them out to people including 999 operators, who often save lives. On
:17:36. > :17:42.the night, it is going to be a swanky celebration. How do people
:17:42. > :17:47.qualify? Well, they have been judged not just by their peers, but
:17:47. > :17:50.people that they work with. We have been to people and said, can you
:17:50. > :17:54.tell us about these people? They perform the most extraordinary
:17:54. > :17:59.tasks every day, most of us would run in the opposite direction from
:17:59. > :18:03.them. We ask their peers, they have been judged by the people at the
:18:03. > :18:09.top of their profession, the chief of the fire service and police
:18:09. > :18:12.operations. When it comes to the special One Show award, those
:18:12. > :18:16.people are going to be nominated and they are just members of the
:18:16. > :18:19.public. They don't work for the emergency services, but we want
:18:19. > :18:22.people to vote for a member of the public that has done something
:18:23. > :18:29.extraordinary, above and beyond what most people would do. There
:18:29. > :18:32.are going to be tears? It will be a roller-coaster of emotions. I'd
:18:32. > :18:40.been reading through the nominations, and I'm already crying.
:18:40. > :18:46.You know, when you have kids... People say, mum, why do you watch
:18:46. > :18:51.the news, you get so upset? Now you know. I cried at Ground Force, at
:18:51. > :18:57.somebody's decking. But the stories are incredible. I suppose the great
:18:57. > :19:01.thing about the 999 awards is that it is an absolute celebration. Out
:19:01. > :19:04.of some of the very distressing and tragic stories, there is a triumph
:19:04. > :19:10.at the end. A lot of people are scared of watching them because
:19:10. > :19:15.they don't want to be upset. But it is the right kind of being upset,
:19:15. > :19:21.isn't it? It is more of a celebration of their work. As you
:19:21. > :19:26.say, it is to honour these unsung heroes. Sometimes, it can make you
:19:26. > :19:30.feel tender. I work on Crimewatch and every month you go through the
:19:30. > :19:33.roller-coaster of watching very constructions, talking to the
:19:33. > :19:37.senior investigating officers and you think that D world is a hellish
:19:37. > :19:42.place. Every month, the calls come in and we get the most
:19:42. > :19:46.extraordinary Leeds. The 999 Rewards is similar. You think that
:19:46. > :19:53.terrible things happen to people, but there are many people out there
:19:53. > :19:58.willing to do more than the right thing. We'll see if you feature on
:19:58. > :20:05.that after this football match! The blue plaque might be needed.
:20:05. > :20:14.legs are creaking a little. Last week we had the Olympic flame.
:20:14. > :20:22.week what we have done is we have Setting fire to the Christmas
:20:22. > :20:30.pudding. Is this all has become of the flambe in this country? Don't
:20:30. > :20:36.bet on it. Gerry Wray is an expert in the art of flambe. He is the
:20:36. > :20:39.master cook at Simpson's-in-the- Strand in London. Today he is
:20:39. > :20:49.concocting a flambe spectacle for a group of diners well used to
:20:49. > :20:50.
:20:50. > :20:54.dealing with a bit of fire. Meet the firefighters of Surrey. At 63,
:20:54. > :21:00.Area Commander Mythe -- modern styles is believed to be Britain's
:21:00. > :21:05.oldest full-time firefighter. His dedication will be honoured when he
:21:06. > :21:09.becomes an Olympic torch bearer. A lifetime dealing with flames, and
:21:10. > :21:14.yet lunchtime at the station rarely gets more fiery than beans on toast.
:21:14. > :21:20.But all of that is about to change as the firefighters arrive at the
:21:20. > :21:28.restaurant. Jerry is hard at work in the kitchen. Why do we flambe?
:21:28. > :21:38.For the spectacle. Alcohol goes in and a huge flame flicks off the pan.
:21:38. > :21:40.
:21:40. > :21:45.It is a moment. Our starter today is flambe langoustines, in sambuca.
:21:45. > :21:54.The flames are produced by heating liqueurs or spirits and setting
:21:54. > :21:58.We are burning the alcohol off and taking it back to the natural
:21:58. > :22:03.sweetness. The reduced alcohol sweetness makes a big impression.
:22:03. > :22:06.It's beautiful. It really does bring out the sweetness. While we
:22:06. > :22:12.steady ourselves for the next course, I am keen to grab a word
:22:12. > :22:15.with Malcolm about his Olympic torch duty. I'm honoured and proud
:22:15. > :22:20.to be carrying the torch. Presumably there are fewer health
:22:20. > :22:28.and safety issues when you are running with the naked flame?

:22:34. > :22:37.something that was in the mid- 80s. It was quite a big thing. He has
:22:37. > :22:46.cut one piece of steak without alcohol and the other with a brandy
:22:46. > :22:51.to see if the firefighters can This is the one that has been done
:22:51. > :22:56.without brandy. It is lovely, but this one is far more tender and
:22:56. > :23:02.sweet. The first bite you take is very sweet. Considering the branded
:23:02. > :23:06.that went in there, it's quite delicate. I know you cook at home,
:23:06. > :23:12.have you ever attempted to flambe? No, I don't want to set fire to my
:23:12. > :23:18.kitchen. That would be a bit embarrassing! Some believe that it
:23:18. > :23:22.was invented in 1895, when a clumsy French waiter set light to a plate
:23:22. > :23:26.of pancakes For the Future King Edward the 7th. Whether they were
:23:26. > :23:35.ever serve to King Edward or not, Craig Cizek is certainly on the
:23:35. > :23:42.firefighter menu. They are cooked with orange liqueur. It's a big hit.
:23:42. > :23:47.So, better than beans on toast? Certainly. Burnt toast, at that.
:23:47. > :23:53.It's beautiful. I have a sweet tooth. The orange flavour is
:23:53. > :23:58.beautiful. The best I had, really. Clearly, there is a lot more to
:23:58. > :24:02.flambe than just Christmas puddings. It doesn't just make the food
:24:02. > :24:08.looked terrific, it makes it taste terrific as well. Please, do as
:24:08. > :24:11.they guys say... Please don't try this at home! Not even in the
:24:11. > :24:21.Olympic year? You can have a flame in the kitchen. Not that big, you
:24:21. > :24:25.
:24:25. > :24:35.They loved that, there. They did. What was your favourite? Crepes.
:24:35. > :24:35.
:24:35. > :24:38.It's a classic. The marvellous liqueur, sugar, alcohol. Brilliant.
:24:38. > :24:44.It doesn't happen enough in restaurants. Bring the theatre into
:24:44. > :24:49.the dining room. Them are health and safety issues. You have some
:24:49. > :24:53.experience of the catering trade. My old mining is in the catering
:24:53. > :24:57.business. Have you heard of any health and safety issues? Not in
:24:57. > :25:01.his restaurant, they just get on with it. One chef was saying that
:25:01. > :25:09.they couldn't do it because their ceilings were too low. I'm just
:25:09. > :25:15.passing on what I know. Should we get down to a Olympic news? We have
:25:15. > :25:25.had a preview of what the prices could be for food and drink. A Test

:25:30. > :25:35.That had better be a good hot dog. Is it a real dog? The most
:25:35. > :25:39.controversial, and these were just the once at the Test event, one
:25:39. > :25:44.pound 60p for a bottle of water, especially seeing as you cannot
:25:44. > :25:50.take it on to the site in amounts of more than 100 mm. They do seem
:25:50. > :25:53.to be able to stow controversy, even when they don't need to.
:25:53. > :26:03.Augusta, the Majors, the golf tournament, they do the opposite.
:26:03. > :26:04.
:26:04. > :26:08.It is $1.50 for a beer. They are good reasons for doing it, we know
:26:08. > :26:14.why the tickets cost so much. Perhaps once you get into the
:26:14. > :26:19.ground you should not have to pay �1.60 for a bottle of water.
:26:19. > :26:25.Tickets, there have been more tickets discovered? They found 3000
:26:25. > :26:29.more. Down the back of a very large sofa? I put in for an enormous
:26:29. > :26:39.number, knowing it would be difficult. I got two, beach

:26:41. > :26:45.You won. You know they are not going to be wearing bikini is this
:26:45. > :26:49.year? That is why I am not taking them, I'm going on holiday so we
:26:49. > :26:54.will have to pass them to somebody else. This Olympics, the last time
:26:54. > :26:58.it was in London was 1948 during rationing. We have had a look at
:26:58. > :27:05.what the athletes hand. We have a board showing what they had. This
:27:05. > :27:11.was then in 1948. The average adult ration was 2600 calories. The
:27:11. > :27:19.athletes had 5500, made up from a lot of fat and carbohydrate. Six
:27:19. > :27:26.ounces of meat, 1 and a half pounds of potatoes. We had Michael Price,
:27:26. > :27:33.the Olympian. His big memory was eating potato sandwiches. Its
:27:33. > :27:38.carbohydrate squared. The luxury, he remembered, was bits of
:27:38. > :27:42.pineapple. Some of the foreign countries competing, they were a
:27:42. > :27:48.bit concerned about their athletes. The Chinese were sending bamboo
:27:48. > :27:58.shoots. The Mexicans were sending in offal and the French sent a
:27:58. > :28:03.refrigerated train full of French wine. Red wine? I would assume so.
:28:03. > :28:07.They're very hot summer. We just want to welcome the whole of Wales
:28:07. > :28:16.that have just joined us. It's Michael Sheen, your very own.
:28:16. > :28:20.were they not with us before? been to Wales. Congratulations. And
:28:20. > :28:24.you came back! They got you back out again... War back in again?
:28:24. > :28:27.of the reasons the audience is so packed is that many of them are
:28:27. > :28:30.here for the opening of the first ever photo exhibition made up
:28:30. > :28:36.entirely of pictures sent in by viewers of The One Show.
:28:36. > :28:44.Falklands anniversary exhibition has some amazing pictures. This is
:28:44. > :28:54.Tom Chater and his pals playing during the occupation. He is here
:28:54. > :28:54.
:28:54. > :28:59.I mean, this is one of those photographs that sort of doesn't
:28:59. > :29:04.need any explanation. I know you're going to give us one, but you can
:29:04. > :29:09.tell it's so important and dramatic and poignant. I presume that's you
:29:09. > :29:14.climbing on the boxes... That's me and my brother Bill on the right,
:29:14. > :29:18.who has cheered up since then and my friend Simon on the right and my
:29:18. > :29:22.other friend David with his back to the photo. My mum and dad had
:29:22. > :29:27.opened a shop a few months before the conflict, and the various boxes
:29:27. > :29:36.that the stock came down in and presumably a few old motorbike
:29:36. > :29:41.wheels and so on - we used to make HMS Invincible or Hermes. We used
:29:41. > :29:47.to argue over which ones the. Our bikes were Harriers. We'd have
:29:47. > :29:53.wooden guns we'd use to shoot the Argentine soldiers as they'd walk
:29:53. > :29:59.past. My mum tells me about this but you experienced this in the
:29:59. > :30:04.'80s. You were occupied at the time. Were you scared? If you were, did
:30:04. > :30:09.your family protect you from things you didn't need to know about?
:30:09. > :30:13.I think mum and dad didn't sleep much. I remember being very scared
:30:13. > :30:18.that morning. An Argentine patrol went around. I guess they went
:30:18. > :30:22.around every house doing a census checking for any Marines that might
:30:22. > :30:26.have been there. That must have been - Suddenly, you go from a
:30:26. > :30:30.quiet existence to having armed soldiers with machine guns on the
:30:30. > :30:34.door questioning why dad has just put the BBC on. They couldn't
:30:34. > :30:40.understand why dad turned the radio on, and this is the BBC News - we
:30:40. > :30:45.have reports coming in - the Falklands have been invaded. They
:30:45. > :30:48.said "Why are you listening to this?" He said, "We're British."
:30:48. > :30:52.was literally in your front garden. Yeah. You have your little four-
:30:52. > :30:55.year-old. That's why you're here. You're here because of your son.
:30:55. > :30:58.Tell thus story. Yes, we always lived in the Falklands, born and
:30:58. > :31:02.brought up there, only came over here for college, training, so on.
:31:02. > :31:07.Few weeks before this guy was born, we discovered there was a possible
:31:07. > :31:10.problem in the Falklands - you get a scan at 32 weeks just in case
:31:10. > :31:16.there is something that has been missed, and there had been, so over
:31:16. > :31:24.we came, and he is waiting for a kidney. He should have had mine a
:31:24. > :31:27.week ago on Wednesday, but the surgeon was sick, unfortunately.
:31:27. > :31:31.(Murmuring) But a big thumbs-up to the staff in
:31:31. > :31:37.Bristol, they have managed to reschedule us for a week on Tuesday.
:31:37. > :31:41.So you're four years in the waiting. Well, knowing we needed a kidney
:31:41. > :31:44.for the last four, but we had to wait for him to get big enough.
:31:44. > :31:50.Thank you for that. APPLAUSE
:31:50. > :31:53.Fantastic. Right. Last week - got to go over here I
:31:53. > :31:57.am afraid. I'll tell you why when we get to the VT - can't dell you
:31:57. > :32:00.now. Last week an animal was reported missing from a zoo in
:32:00. > :32:04.Devon. Miranda went to meet the brave men who caught the fearsome
:32:04. > :32:08.creature. MUSIC
:32:08. > :32:12.A wild animal on the loose sounds like something from the movies.
:32:12. > :32:19.But for 12 hours last week, it was reality for this quiet little
:32:19. > :32:23.corner of Devon. Thankfully, it was less a case of
:32:23. > :32:27.Jurassic Park and a bit more like Madagascar. Has anyone ever told
:32:27. > :32:34.you that you look like a supermodel?
:32:34. > :32:42.As cheeky as King Julian from the kings' animated film, this lemur
:32:42. > :32:45.saw an opportunity to expand his horizons and took it. This is the
:32:45. > :32:50.naughty Sambava, who got out. He's a local celebrity. They have free
:32:50. > :32:55.range of the park. How big is the park? It's 28 acres, and they think
:32:55. > :32:59.the actual whole of the 28 acres is their territory. They have started
:32:59. > :33:03.venturing outside the parks which is where we have a problem. Look at
:33:03. > :33:08.those eyes. How could you resist those eyes? If that was to land in
:33:08. > :33:12.your garden, you would want to keep it they're very mischievous animals.
:33:12. > :33:15.What sort of things do they get up to in the park? They're very
:33:15. > :33:20.naughty. We were a bit surprised to see them trying to aggravate the
:33:20. > :33:24.lions. The lions weren't too happy. They go and annoy the pigmy goats.
:33:24. > :33:28.We have seen them jump into the enclosure, and the goats try to
:33:28. > :33:33.head-butt them, and they box them in the face. Did he get out on his
:33:33. > :33:37.own? They tend to go out in a group of all five of them, and being the
:33:37. > :33:40.only male in the group, whether he got fed up with nagging females and
:33:40. > :33:44.decided to get some time out, maybe that was his choice. I like that
:33:44. > :33:48.idea. They went across all of these
:33:48. > :33:53.fences... Right. Because it is in that direction. And they can leap
:33:53. > :33:57.across that quite easily? Well, easily. Now, we're here, and
:33:57. > :34:00.Sambava eventually got picked up here over 12 hours later the next
:34:00. > :34:05.morning a full two or three miles away.
:34:05. > :34:10.And in doing so, he would have had to have crossed two roads, gone
:34:10. > :34:14.through three areas of woodland and also crossed a couple of streams.
:34:14. > :34:21.Potentially, dangerous for our little chap. The rumour is some of
:34:21. > :34:26.the land around here is owned by Damien Hirst. We all know about his
:34:26. > :34:31.track record with shark and cows. Whatever route he took, thankfully
:34:31. > :34:38.he ran into someone friendly. The Denvers live in the village where
:34:38. > :34:44.he ended up. Hi, chaps. It's not an everyday okurns finding a lemur in
:34:44. > :34:49.your front garden? We were on our way to work and we saw a lemur.
:34:49. > :34:53.Did he hop up on here? He waited down here for a little bit and then
:34:53. > :34:59.jumped up on top of the porch. safely back home, the wildlife park
:34:59. > :35:05.are considering a roof for their enclosure, but I have another idea
:35:05. > :35:08.to make these cheeky chappies stay put - maybe some celebrity company.
:35:08. > :35:18.Now, what about that? There is Chris, and there is Alex. Look.
:35:18. > :35:27.She's very nice. Oh, Chris, you I know! OK. Kirsty got whipped by
:35:27. > :35:32.the lemur's tale then? I did. calm, gentle. He just knocked my
:35:32. > :35:39.photograph over in the cage! Really? Yeah, in the film. He's
:35:39. > :35:46.just chewing up a few leaves. He's absolutely harm louse. It's Friday.
:35:46. > :35:53.It's Foody Friday. It's lemur Foody Friday! He's a beautiful ring-tail
:35:53. > :36:02.lemur called Curtis. He was born in captivity in Oxfordshire.
:36:02. > :36:07.Unfortunately, he's the bottom of the pecking order. The females rule.
:36:07. > :36:10.I know, Chris! Can lemurs survive in the wild? Certainly not in
:36:10. > :36:14.Britain. He's born and bred in Britain. That's all he knows. The
:36:14. > :36:19.climate here is kind of mild and wet - apart from at the moment.
:36:19. > :36:23.Over in Madagascar, it's hot and humid and cool and dry - no chance.
:36:23. > :36:28.Predators - he doesn't know what the predators are. He could be
:36:28. > :36:34.picked off at any time. He'd probably get beaten up on the roads,
:36:34. > :36:38.and he's imprinted on humans as well. He thinks we're our his
:36:38. > :36:42.friends. And Madagascar, it's tough for the lemurs. It's tough to say
:36:42. > :36:45.what's going on there - the problem there, deforestation. Most of the
:36:45. > :36:49.lemurs live in forests. What's happened here is all the trees have
:36:49. > :36:54.gone. Basically, they can't soak up the water when it rains. It runs
:36:54. > :36:57.off, floods the whole area. Look at these massive plantation where the
:36:57. > :37:03.rain should be. Unfortunately, the crops and plantation are done for
:37:03. > :37:10.them. Unfortunately, as well, the Madagascar people love to eat
:37:10. > :37:14.lemurs. Such a shame. How could you eat this lovely little beast.
:37:14. > :37:21.one of the loveliest creatures I have had on television.
:37:21. > :37:28.Right. Now, other escapees we might want to hear about? We have amazing
:37:28. > :37:31.footage here of an imaginative Golden Eagle called Goldie that
:37:32. > :37:36.escaped from Los Angeles Zoo in 1965. Look at this. The dog gets
:37:36. > :37:39.easily as good as it gets, and eventually the Golden Eagle was
:37:39. > :37:48.retrieved by the keeper after 12 days with a long line of rope and
:37:48. > :37:56.Golden Eagle. Bear in mind this is an imagine that lives in the wilds
:37:56. > :38:02.of Scotland and would normally be - - not be in the centre of Scotland.
:38:02. > :38:09.Finally, in Longleat safari park in 1988 apparently one of the keepers
:38:09. > :38:17.did a head count and couldn't find this seal. She swum 30 miles down
:38:17. > :38:22.the loch. They tried to lure her back, wasn't bothered about her
:38:22. > :38:31.kids. They managed with food, like I'm doing, to entice her down to
:38:31. > :38:34.the culvert and recaptured her. Thank you very much. And thank you
:38:34. > :38:42.to Curtis. Whipping her in the face - shame we didn't get that on
:38:42. > :38:46.camera. Was it a whip or a waft? Was there pain? But I liked it.
:38:46. > :38:50.That was my next question. Now, we all remember Boris Johnson
:38:50. > :38:53.claiming that ping pong was coming home after the last Olympic Games.
:38:53. > :38:59.The wait -- wait is nearly over, and for one family it will be like
:38:59. > :39:06.the return of a long lost relative. Ping-pong is the fastest racket
:39:06. > :39:10.sport on the planet. China might have claimed it as its
:39:10. > :39:16.national sport in the 1950s, but ping-pong is as British as lawn
:39:16. > :39:22.tennis. In fact, it started here over a hundred years ago.
:39:22. > :39:30.Since 1795 the family business Jaques of London have been making
:39:30. > :39:35.some of our favourite games. From Snakes and ladders to Snoop, they
:39:35. > :39:41.have an eye for spotting a great game.
:39:41. > :39:47.In 1851 the founder won a gold medal for croquet.
:39:47. > :39:50.But he had another ingenious move. 1877, Wimbledon hosted its first
:39:50. > :39:57.lawn tennis Championship, and the upper classes were hooked. Soon,
:39:57. > :40:06.they brought it indoors. After dinner, the plates were cleared,
:40:06. > :40:15.and cigar boxes became the bats, and they played tennis on their
:40:15. > :40:21.tables - table tennis. In 1890, Jake Foster patented a game of
:40:21. > :40:28.compendium, but one year later Jaqueffects would go one further,
:40:28. > :40:33.he brought about another version of the table tennis game called Gosima.
:40:33. > :40:43.He got it patented. The modern-day version of the game was born. At
:40:43. > :40:51.the company museum, I am meeting Joe Jaques. Two bats and a very
:40:51. > :40:57.light feather-weight gaul, feather- weight ball being named after the
:40:57. > :41:03.light-weight goes imer Are the rules inspired by lawn tennis?
:41:03. > :41:12.but it's not really tennis indoors. It's a whole new game.
:41:12. > :41:18.Then they aced it, renaming their game ping-pong, the name inspired
:41:18. > :41:21.by the sound of the game in play. It was when it was launched in
:41:21. > :41:26.conjunction with Hamleys it really took off. Ping-pong went global
:41:26. > :41:30.with a little help from Parker Brothers, the people behind
:41:30. > :41:36.Monopoly. In competition it became the official-sounding table tennis,
:41:36. > :41:44.and in 1926 London hosted the first tennis World Championships.
:41:44. > :41:50.Tell me how the bats have changed. The early bats were Velum covered,
:41:50. > :41:54.like with leather, like a drum. Then we had sand-covered paper bats,
:41:54. > :41:58.moving into a cork phase, then eventually the rubber material we
:41:58. > :42:00.see today, so they have a lot more power, a lot more spin. I doubt
:42:00. > :42:08.without that progression it would have ever became the Olympic game
:42:08. > :42:13.it is today. This secondary school will be the official training
:42:13. > :42:17.centre for the Olympic Japanese tennis team.
:42:18. > :42:24.Over 300 million people around the world now play table tennis. Only
:42:24. > :42:28.football has more players. One man who knows his way around a table is
:42:28. > :42:33.Douglas Dennis. Ranked suchth in the world at the height of his
:42:33. > :42:40.career, this is a man who knows his ping from his pong.
:42:40. > :42:45.Why is table tennis so popular? It's a rhythmic sport. You get
:42:45. > :42:49.mesmerised by it, the sound. You start to sweat a bit. The heart is
:42:49. > :42:59.really pumping. So you were ranked seventh in the world - that's
:42:59. > :43:01.
:43:01. > :43:10.pretty good. Not too bad. Shall we here's hoping our Olympic team fare
:43:10. > :43:13.I think Angellica did a good job. love ping-pong. Who doesn't like
:43:14. > :43:19.ping-pong? I love it. Show me a person who doesn't like ping-pong,
:43:19. > :43:22.I'll show you a person who doesn't love life. But you were telling us
:43:22. > :43:26.Susan Sarandon has a ping-pong club. She does. She has a ping-pong club
:43:26. > :43:29.in New York. There is one in Los Angeles as well, but I was in the
:43:29. > :43:36.one in New York a few weeks ago, and I played table tennis, ping-
:43:36. > :43:41.pong, with Chandler from Friends. How showbiz is that. More
:43:41. > :43:49.importantly, who won? He beat me, but I kid you not, he has a machine
:43:49. > :43:52.at home that plays table tennis with him. That's so LA. He's not
:43:52. > :43:57.busy then! Shall we subtly bridge from one sport to another? Oh, look.
:43:57. > :44:02.It's the football tactics map. Beautiful. Tell us what's going on
:44:02. > :44:06.on Sunday? On Sunday, there is the biggest pro-celebrity football
:44:06. > :44:09.match ever in the world all for Soccer Aid all for the greatest
:44:09. > :44:12.children's organisation in the world, UNICEF. All money raised
:44:12. > :44:16.goes to UNICEF to save children's lives around the world. We have a
:44:16. > :44:20.team - England versus the rest of the world. England's captain is
:44:20. > :44:24.Robbie Williams. Captain of the rest of the world is me, and here
:44:24. > :44:29.are my celebrities... Here is the rest of the world. Here is the rest
:44:30. > :44:36.of the world. We have half ex-pros, half celebrities. You have some
:44:36. > :44:43.massive names - yourself, Will Feral. I don't know what Gordon
:44:43. > :44:48.Ramsey is doing in goals! Mike Meyers, Gerd Butler. How were these
:44:48. > :44:52.people convinced to come over and take part? Will Farrell is the
:44:52. > :44:54.biggest film star in the world. Partly because two years ago Woody
:44:54. > :44:57.Harrelson came over here. Woody Harrelson didn't have a lot of
:44:57. > :45:02.football form, I have to say, hadn't played a lot of it, hadn't
:45:02. > :45:05.seen lot of it, hadn't kicked a lot of it, yet stepped up to take a
:45:05. > :45:15.penalty. I had run out of players to take penalties. It was sudden
:45:15. > :45:21.death. I thought, right. Woody, off Even if you can barely kick a
:45:21. > :45:24.football, you can still beat Jamie Theakston in goal? Apparently so.
:45:24. > :45:29.But Woody Harrelson goes around showing everybody that on his
:45:29. > :45:35.telephone. He convinced Will Ferrell and Edward Norton to take
:45:35. > :45:40.part. Robbie Williams is apparently still sour that you won the last
:45:40. > :45:46.one? Absolutely, he is out for revenge. What are the chances of
:45:46. > :45:49.the Rest of the World winning? Apart from the celebrities, which
:45:49. > :45:57.are obviously all brilliant, we have ex professionals like Roy
:45:57. > :46:00.Keane, Jaap Stam, Edwin Van der Sar, Hernan Crespo, Freddie Lundberg, we
:46:01. > :46:05.have incredible players. I think what we lack in the celebrity area,
:46:06. > :46:10.we make up for in the professionals. Playing at your age, with your
:46:11. > :46:15.level of ability... Of Union my mid-twenties? It will be really hot
:46:15. > :46:19.on Sunday. It's going to be 90 degrees pitch-side. You've
:46:19. > :46:26.genuinely got to be careful? have. The match will take place in
:46:26. > :46:32.the evening. It will still be hot. Baking all day. My legs are
:46:32. > :46:37.creaking a little bit already. It will be a bit cooler in the evening.
:46:37. > :46:42.As you approach middle-age, having a game of football, as a kid you
:46:42. > :46:46.run for the ball time. You have to select your runs. The other day we
:46:46. > :46:50.went on to the training pitch and we had been training all week. We
:46:50. > :46:54.got out there and they have loads of footballs hanging around. You
:46:54. > :46:57.saw everybody trying to kick the ball into the goal. Roy Keane said,
:46:57. > :47:02.it doesn't matter how high up you are, or you want to do when you get
:47:02. > :47:06.onto the pitch, you just want to shoot for goal. Patrick Kielty is
:47:06. > :47:11.in goals and we are just kicking at him. You turn into an eight-year-
:47:11. > :47:16.old. How can they only have it every two years? You must be
:47:16. > :47:23.chomping at the bit for an annual competition. It takes that long to
:47:23. > :47:27.recover! This is the 4th one, and UNICEF raised �7.5 million. It's
:47:27. > :47:33.incredible. For the first time, the Government are going to match every
:47:33. > :47:37.donation. Please watch on Sunday, 6 o'clock. Donate and the Government
:47:37. > :47:41.will double your money. We want to make as much as possible. I'm never
:47:42. > :47:46.enthusiastic about programmes for the enemy, but this one is a belter.
:47:46. > :47:51.Let's look at another one of the photographs that are part of the
:47:51. > :47:55.Falklands exhibition. Let's go over here. This is a picture of Stephen
:47:55. > :47:59.Smith, also known as Smudge, returning home from the Falklands
:47:59. > :48:05.to his two daughters. This is one of my favourite photographs. We've
:48:05. > :48:12.had lots of really good ones, Smudge. Can I call you that? Give
:48:12. > :48:18.us the background. How vividly do you remember that? We flew to Brize
:48:19. > :48:25.Norton. An aircraft was pitched to come in separately. Prince Charles,
:48:25. > :48:29.for when they came down. We were unaware of what was happening. We
:48:29. > :48:35.thought we would just come back, get on at the bus. It was
:48:35. > :48:41.overwhelming. Friends, family, everybody was there. Waving flags.
:48:41. > :48:48.How relieved were you to see your girls? They are all grown up now?
:48:48. > :48:54.Totally relieved. We had no contact since we left to, throughout the
:48:54. > :48:58.campaign. As the first time I'd seen them since I left in
:48:58. > :49:03.Southampton with 42 Commando. there a moment during the conflict
:49:03. > :49:06.way you thought you might not see them again? No, I kept my mind
:49:06. > :49:13.focused on what I was doing, trying not to think what was happening in
:49:13. > :49:18.the UK. I knew that her indoors would be looking after them.
:49:18. > :49:24.real general is at home, as always. Michelle and Kelly, that is the
:49:24. > :49:28.right way round? You are of the -- obviously overwhelmed by the
:49:28. > :49:33.occasion. I would have thought you would be so happy, but you are
:49:33. > :49:37.bursting into tears, almost like a wife would? You haven't had contact
:49:37. > :49:42.with your dad for so long. You didn't know where he was going,
:49:42. > :49:46.what he was going to do. You are hearing lots of stories, your man
:49:46. > :49:50.is telling you not to worry. To have him presented in front of you,
:49:50. > :49:54.all of the emotions, no matter how old you are, they poured out. There
:49:54. > :49:58.were smiles afterwards. There are sceptical people in the world that
:49:58. > :50:08.might not believe you are the real deal. I think we need to recreate
:50:08. > :50:12.
:50:12. > :50:17.the programme. You have both got to A round of applause, please.
:50:17. > :50:23.Another important memory from the Falklands war. HMS Coventry, 30
:50:23. > :50:29.years ago today, Joe Crowley met up with one survivor to hear his story.
:50:29. > :50:34.In the spring of 1982, HMS Coventry was returning from exercises in the
:50:34. > :50:39.Mediterranean. On board were 300 young sailors looking forward to
:50:39. > :50:43.their Easter leave back in Britain. One of them was electronic warfare
:50:43. > :50:48.intelligence officer Chris Howe. were looking forward to going back
:50:48. > :50:54.for Easter, a nice feeling, to get back to your families. On the 2nd
:50:54. > :50:57.April, things changed. Argentina invaded the Falklands. Mrs Thatcher
:50:57. > :51:01.underlined her determination to use force. We are assembling the
:51:02. > :51:06.biggest fleet that has ever sailed in peacetime. A taskforce headed
:51:06. > :51:12.for the Falklands. Would it went HMS Coventry, leaving Chris's wife
:51:12. > :51:15.at home with the boys. Very worried, very upset. We were looking forward
:51:15. > :51:20.to him coming home. All I could think was, I don't know what I
:51:20. > :51:25.would do if I lost Chris. A month later, Coventry was in the
:51:25. > :51:30.Falklands. Air raids were frequent. This is the operations room, the
:51:30. > :51:37.centre of any ship. We are on the HMS York. How similar is this to
:51:37. > :51:43.HMS Coventry? They were from quite a similar time? Very similar.
:51:43. > :51:48.would you have been? Exactly here. By 25th May, troops were landing at
:51:48. > :51:53.San Carlos. Coventry was stationed near by to provide cover. Being so
:51:53. > :51:56.close to land made radar less effective. We knew that we were an
:51:56. > :52:00.easy target. We would know the threat was coming, but it was too
:52:00. > :52:05.late to engage them with missile systems. What was the captain
:52:05. > :52:11.response? It must have seemed like a suicide mission? He was not happy,
:52:11. > :52:17.but we obey the order. We did our job. But the attack they had
:52:17. > :52:27.anticipated soon came. There is this dull thud. Everything seemed
:52:27. > :52:34.
:52:34. > :52:39.A massive force just hit me in the face. On to my side, followed by a
:52:39. > :52:46.rapid heat, a fireball whooping around the operations room. After
:52:46. > :52:50.that, I remember coming to. All of the screams were fire, melting. I
:52:50. > :52:54.could hear the water lapping into the port side. I was tied down with
:52:54. > :53:00.headset wires. My arm was on fire and I thought that was when my life
:53:00. > :53:06.would end. I could see my wife and my boys. I ripped out the why and I
:53:06. > :53:11.started to make my way towards that starboard door. I came across my
:53:11. > :53:15.colleague, Sam. I'd lost most of my clothing. Very little was left on
:53:15. > :53:23.and we came to the ladder. But it was disintegrating, it was gone. He
:53:23. > :53:28.had to push me from below. I decided my life was not ending them.
:53:28. > :53:33.This is where you made your way out onto the deck? At this stage, I
:53:33. > :53:38.really realised how badly burned I was. It felt as if there were
:53:38. > :53:43.blowtorches on my back and my face. I have some pictures that were
:53:43. > :53:50.given to me some years later by the surgeon commander. 27% burns in
:53:50. > :53:55.total, the way they SST it. Just terrific, isn't it? It shows my
:53:55. > :54:03.ring, the St Christopher, that I still wear today, that survived.
:54:03. > :54:07.took just 20 minutes for Coventry to capsize. 19 of the crew perished.
:54:07. > :54:11.I was stunned at the kitchen window with a baby in my arms. I had to
:54:11. > :54:16.see the neighbours talking to a man at the door. She pointed across to
:54:16. > :54:20.our house. When he turned around, I saw that it was a vicar and he was
:54:20. > :54:28.making his way across to my house with what I thought was a Bible in
:54:28. > :54:38.his hands. I just felt my knees buckling. He came in and said, your
:54:38. > :54:40.
:54:40. > :54:44.husband has serious injuries. We do When I finally got back to the UK,
:54:44. > :54:49.it was complete relief that the episode in my life was at amend. To
:54:49. > :54:54.get back and see Margaret and the boys again was fantastic. My mother
:54:54. > :55:03.said when he came home, Chris, your guardian angel was watching over
:55:03. > :55:08.you that day. She was right. was right. HMS Coventry played its
:55:08. > :55:18.part in retaking the Falklands. 30 years ago, her crew did their duty.
:55:18. > :55:28.
:55:28. > :55:33.Today, they remember friends that Thank you to Chris Foy making that
:55:33. > :55:40.film. Thanks for sending your photos from the HMS Coventry
:55:40. > :55:48.reunion tonight. 120 former crew members, this is from Chris Clarke
:55:48. > :55:52.We have so many brilliant photographs that we decided to have
:55:52. > :55:58.a real public display. You can come and see this for the next week at
:55:58. > :56:04.White City. Then it moves to TV Centre. It is not on tour, I don't
:56:04. > :56:10.think. There is a journey involved. It is only 500 yards, but you can
:56:10. > :56:15.see it. We have special guests to open it. If you would like to make
:56:15. > :56:25.a speech, you are very welcome to. I declare this were done well and
:56:25. > :56:26.
:56:26. > :56:32.Just time to have a look at a couple more of our favourites. With
:56:32. > :56:35.us now is Trevor, Joe and Kirsty. Trevor, this is a picture you tap
:56:35. > :56:40.when you went back to the Falklands? I went back with an
:56:40. > :56:48.organised trip. It was a contrast to what happened in 1982, when I
:56:48. > :56:55.served on the Exeter. A great picture, thank you very much. Who
:56:55. > :57:01.do you have? Hello! You are very welcome, but we just need to be
:57:01. > :57:05.able to see this photograph. Good evening, you featured in his
:57:05. > :57:12.photograph? We thought we would bring you over here. Tell us about
:57:12. > :57:18.your Falklands photo. This was taken 30 years ago this week, on
:57:18. > :57:24.board HMS Fearless, the Met Office. That is me and my boss, Lieutenant
:57:24. > :57:29.Commander. We are in San Carlos and we are just getting some Met Office
:57:29. > :57:33.charts through. That was a couple of days after that when we started
:57:33. > :57:39.getting attacked by Argentinian aircraft. All of the smiles had
:57:39. > :57:42.gone. The calm before the storm? Thank you so much. We will send the
:57:42. > :57:47.photographs back once the exhibition is over. Let's say
:57:47. > :57:53.goodbye to Michael, Mandy. Details of how to see the photographs for
