Hello and welcome to The One Show. This weekend, the new Strictly Come | :00:18. | :00:26. | |
Hello and welcome to The One Show. Dancing contestants will be showing | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
off the move is that they have been practising with their dance partners | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
to the judges for the first time. And you are about to get a preview, | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
because, waltzing into the studio tonight are Len Goodman and Sophie | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
Ellis-Bextor! He does not want to dance with me! | :00:40. | :00:58. | |
Come on in, Len. I was going to dance with Sophie, but if you dance | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
with me once, Brendan would never feel the same again. So best I do | :01:02. | :01:09. | |
not do it. You have been counting in threes for ages now, haven't you? | :01:09. | :01:15. | |
Counting in threes, sleeping in dance moves, it is all consuming. I | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
did not realise how compass and it was. I had no idea it was good to | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
take over my life. -- all-encompassing. When I first | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
started dancing, I used to go to sleep thinking of my routines. And | :01:29. | :01:37. | |
then, suddenly, you cannot think of it, so then, I used to get up, and | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
then I would go back... Yes, it is all consuming. ) down well, tonight, | :01:42. | :01:51. | |
we are going to test Sophie, to see how much she knows about the | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
glittery world of Strictly. She will have to guess who is behind those | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
glitter balls. If she does well, Len has brought a present for her. Find | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
out how she does, and what the has brought a present for her. Find | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
president is, later on. Are you excited by this prospect, the game? | :02:09. | :02:18. | |
Yes. And the present! Next week, the long-awaited inquest into the death | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
of former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko is due to start. They | :02:22. | :02:30. | |
will be finding out which witnesses can give evidence anonymously. Andy | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
Kershaw reports on what we know and what we do not know about | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
Litvinenko's mysterious death. London, November 2006, a former | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
Russian spy, living in exile, meets to people. What were they plotting? | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
Nobody knows for sure, but it is thought they were planning a trip to | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
Spain to investigate links between the Russian and Spanish Mafia pro-. | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
Would we do know for sure is that one of these men, Alexander | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
Litvinenko, seen here on his deathbed, was poisoned, by drinking | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
a simple British cup of tea. The tea that he drank that day was loaded | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
with radioactive polonium. He would not have tasted it, but the dose was | :03:10. | :03:18. | |
massive, an estimated 200 million times the normal level, found | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
naturally in the human body. Within three weeks, he was dead. Alexander | :03:21. | :03:28. | |
Litvinenko had become a vocal critic of the Russian regime. In 2000, | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
fearing for his life, he defected to Britain, where he was eventually | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
granted asylum. A source is coming to meet me, a journalist who | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
believes he was kicked out of Russia for prying too deeply into the | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
Russian state. Thinks it is clear why some people might have wanted to | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
Litvinenko dead. He was given an order to kill Boris Burroughs once, | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
who was a very powerful man. Instead order to kill Boris Burroughs once, | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
of dealing with this internally, he decided to go public. He did an | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
infamous press conference, where he denounced his superiors, and | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
Vladimir Putin never forgave him for that. Does the use of polonium | :04:09. | :04:16. | |
indicate a state assassination? There is a very strong trail, going | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
from Russia to London. Several people I have spoken to inside the | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
British Government are very clear that this was a state-sponsored | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
assassination, that nobody else could have done it. Following a | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
lengthy investigation by Scotland Yard, detectives revealed their | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
prime suspect, and his name was Andrei Lugovoy, also a former | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
Russian Secret Service agent, and one of the men Litvinenko met over | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
that infamous cup of tea. So, what led them to that conclusion? By the | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
time Litvinenko died, Luca Voigt would have returned to Moscow, | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
protesting his innocence. The Russian authorities refused his | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
extradition to the UK. -- Andrei Lugovoy. Here, the authorities were | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
investigating a vast web of Lugovoy. Here, the authorities were | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
connections across London, where they had discovered traces of | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
polonium. This was one of those places. Litvinenko had been here, | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
just hours before he drank the tee at the hotel. So, had he been | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
poisoned already, or did the polonium found here come from | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
someone else? The plot had thickened. The police found | :05:24. | :05:32. | |
radioactive traces in 12 different locations around central London, | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
including this one, the Emirates Stadium, where Andrei Lugovoy had | :05:34. | :05:42. | |
watched CSKA Moscow play Arsenal. It was also detected on two different | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
planes at Heathrow airport. Had Andrei Lugovoy flown in one of them? | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
All of these details may never be made public. Seven years since the | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
murder, there have been no arrests, and calls for a public inquiry have | :05:55. | :06:01. | |
been turned down by ministers. Bay are saying, you cannot have these | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
documents, cannot discuss whether the Russian state was responsible | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
for this killing. Effectively, they have made the whole process nearly | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
meaningless. Is the British Government terrified of Putin's | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
Russia, or at least, is it overly deferential towards putting? If you | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
remember, the last Labour government had very bad relations with the | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
criminal. There was kowtowing on both sides because of the Litvinenko | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
case. Then, the coalition came in in 2010, and foreign policy became more | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
accommodating. There was a lot of gas, and oil, and a lot of bilateral | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
trade going on. A sickly, Hague and Cameron took the pragmatic view that | :06:42. | :06:49. | |
rather than annoying Mr Putin -- basically -- it was better to push | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
the Litvinenko case to one side. The inquest was set for May of this year | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
but then delayed. However, next week, there will be a hearing for | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
witnesses applying for anonymity. Maybe, just maybe, this is another | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
chapter in a real-life thriller. But whether we ever get to the | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
conclusion, and the truth, is another story. Everybody who has | :07:10. | :07:17. | |
been at the hotel at the time was offered testing, and the health and | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
protection agency said there was a offered testing, and the health and | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
very low health risk from the offered testing, and the health and | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
polonium to any members of the public, and it would have had to | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
have been injected in large noses to cause harm. Moving on, there is | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
another dance show on the box, Stepping Out, on ITV. Have you seen | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
it? I have seen snippets of it, and I must say, it just shows what a | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
wonderful job the professionals do, because it is one thing to be in the | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
arms of a professional, and it is a bit like the blind leading the | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
blind. They are both beginners, and actually, I think, for that, they do | :07:52. | :07:59. | |
a terrific job. But you do not really see them develop as dancers, | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
as you do on Strictly, because obviously, they have got the best in | :08:02. | :08:09. | |
the world... So, you are not hooked on that one? Not overly, no. Sophie, | :08:09. | :08:16. | |
you are no stranger to the world of entertainment, with four albums | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
already, and a new one out next year. Let's remind ourselves of one | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
of your hits, Murder On The Dance Floor. Here it is. | :08:23. | :08:31. | |
# But you better not steal the moves. # DJ, gonna burn this goddamn | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
house right down. That was a couple of years before | :08:35. | :08:48. | |
Strictly was relaunched, so who knew you would be doing it? Also, in that | :08:48. | :08:55. | |
video, I am a really easy girl who uses awful methods to try and get | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
the other contestants out of the way, poisoning them, Nottingham | :08:58. | :09:05. | |
over, and it actually worked! How is Brendan, as a teacher, are you | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
getting on, is there a good chemistry? He is brilliant, he is a | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
wonderful teacher. Actually, the folk at Strictly have been very | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
clever, because a lot of us have folk at Strictly have been very | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
been put with partners who is folk at Strictly have been very | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
teaching methods really suit us. Brendan and I are having a lot of | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
fun. He does not mind the fact that I laughed 90% of the time. That is | :09:27. | :09:33. | |
key, isn't it? I just keep coming back to the fact that I'm going to | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
be waltzing live on TV, and I can't help but find it... I cannot wait, | :09:37. | :09:43. | |
actually, I am really excited. What do you make of that, Len? I must | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
say, you have got that hold, which is the most... It feels so unnatural | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
to start with for the girl, because you have got to pull away to the | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
left, and you feel very peculiar, but you have got that. I saw body | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
contact, which is another thing you look for in the Watts. Just a bit of | :10:02. | :10:08. | |
rise and fall... So, you are looking for technique? I am the oldest | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
fuddy-duddy. Let the others look for passion and drama and razzmatazz. | :10:13. | :10:14. | |
fuddy-duddy. Let the others look for Years ago, I used to look at girls' | :10:14. | :10:21. | |
faces and other parts, but now I am looking... I have become a real old | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
fuddy-duddy. I will be watching your footwork. I will be looking at your | :10:25. | :10:32. | |
posture. Ballroom is bash mac hold, posture, movement, that is all you | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
need. How far into the competition would you say you can spot the | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
finalists? This is what is wonderful about Strictly. You are never sure. | :10:43. | :10:50. | |
Lisa Riley, last year, before she... She came out full of personality, | :10:50. | :10:56. | |
bubbly, giving it plenty. And she was just wonderful. So... You do not | :10:56. | :11:02. | |
bubbly, giving it plenty. And she care about that, because you are | :11:02. | :11:08. | |
just into technique. Well, I am. I am sure Sophie will do to rivet job. | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
She is fit, she has got lovely long legs. Anyway, Len, you might be head | :11:13. | :11:19. | |
She is fit, she has got lovely long judge on Strictly, but we wanted to | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
find out how you would react when the boot was on the other foot. We | :11:21. | :11:29. | |
have put together some of the BBC's best loved presenters and asked them | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
to listen to your new show on BBC Radio 2, to see what they think. | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
to listen to your new show on BBC Here is a snippet. Carole King, it | :11:35. | :11:44. | |
might as well rain until September. When I was at school, I used to hate | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
September. I am here right through till seven! | :11:49. | :11:56. | |
You had to say that. We have been listening, we think it is great, but | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
what do your BBC colleagues make of it? Over we go to our Strictly-style | :12:00. | :12:08. | |
judges' panel. Taking the place of Craig Revel Horwood, it is Jeremy | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
Vine, in his 32nd year at Radio 2, Ken Bruce. Radio 2's answer to | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
Darcey Bussell, Vanessa Feltz! And, from Sicily, via Three Counties | :12:17. | :12:28. | |
Radio, Roberto. You have only chosen me because I'm Italian, and I have a | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
name which sounds a bit like Bruno Tonioli. Yes, that is true! But, | :12:34. | :12:41. | |
what did they think of it, how did they think you performed? Lets get | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
the scores. Before we start, nobody is allowed to say anything. OK, we | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
will go to Jeremy 1st... Len, I would like to say that your show is | :12:50. | :12:57. | |
a disaster, but actually, it is vibrant, it is energetic, it is | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
playful. You have got it, eight! Jeremy, holding out for a place on | :13:03. | :13:10. | |
Strictly. The links were flawless, the mixes were sharp, and the | :13:10. | :13:16. | |
delivery, crisp. Nine. Praise indeed from Ken. That's go to Vanessa. Len, | :13:16. | :13:24. | |
I am a passionate and heartfelt fan of yours. I promise to be entirely | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
biased, because I hope you are going to be the same for me, a bit biased, | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
which is why I am giving you a glowing ten. It is finally, Bruno - | :13:33. | :13:43. | |
I mean, Roberto. Len, your voices like honey, I want to drink you all | :13:43. | :13:50. | |
up on a Sunday afternoon. Ten! Who would have thought it? I am a true | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
amateur on the radio, but I have had would have thought it? I am a true | :13:54. | :14:00. | |
such a good time. I love trying new things, I have really enjoyed | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
myself. Completely different, more things, I have really enjoyed | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
relaxing, isn't it? Anyway, speaking of radio, the Radio Times celebrated | :14:09. | :14:17. | |
its 90th anniversary this Saturday, after more than 4600 lesions since | :14:17. | :14:23. | |
it launched in 1923. -- additions. Here is the current one. In a | :14:23. | :14:32. | |
moment, we will show you what Len decided to wear for his front cover. | :14:32. | :14:42. | |
It is a little bit YMCA. First, here are some of the less well-known | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
faces who have made it onto the front cover of what used to be the | :14:45. | :14:57. | |
bestselling magazine in the UK. These people all have one thing in | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
common. They have been on the cover of the oldest listings magazine in | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
the world, the Radio Times, 90 years old this year. It was a big deal. | :15:05. | :15:13. | |
Quite a prestigious publication. I became a star, in a way. Launched in | :15:13. | :15:20. | |
September 1923 the official organ of the BBC offered the radio schedules | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
for a princely sum of tuppence. With the advent of television, it became | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
the first TV listings magazine, and at its peak in the 50s, the Radio | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
Times had a weekly readership of over 8 million. Its covers have | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
featured world wars, coronations, rock stars and rockets, double acts | :15:38. | :15:45. | |
and Daleks. In 1965, an unknown actress, Deborah Whatley. I had a | :15:45. | :15:51. | |
phone call from my agent saying there was a play by Dennis Potter. | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
We were doing a scene on the river. After we shot the scene, they went, | :15:56. | :16:02. | |
right, photos, please. And one of those photos ended up on the front | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
of the Radio Times. The village used to stop when I walked by and said, | :16:05. | :16:10. | |
congratulations, you are on the front of the Radio Times. Yes, I | :16:10. | :16:18. | |
know, isn't it good! In 1967, a special Wimbledon cover celebrated | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
the first colour broadcast on BBC Two. By the time the seven-year-old | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
ballroom dancer Jim Porter appeared on the front page in 1971, every | :16:26. | :16:34. | |
Radio Times cover was in colour. We had been part of a TV programme. We | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
got a phone call from my dance teacher, they were looking for | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
people to go out and take part in a photo shoot for the fund cover of | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
the Radio Times. We were about the right page, and I am told the right | :16:45. | :16:51. | |
level of cute. It was actually a luxury to have the Radio Times. The | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
one time we tended to buy it was Christmas. So it was a big deal to | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
be on a magazine that you did not even normally get. 1989 was not a | :17:01. | :17:06. | |
good year for the Radio Times and its opposite number. The Radio Times | :17:06. | :17:12. | |
and the TV Times are to lose the right to be the only magazines to | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
publish full details of radio and TV programmes. From now on, any | :17:15. | :17:21. | |
publication could print BBC, ITV, Channel four and any radio | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
schedules. When young Oliver made the cover in 1995, the Radio Times | :17:25. | :17:33. | |
had expanded to over 100 pages. I was in just William. The producers | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
said, would I like to be on the front cover of the Radio Times. It | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
was Children In Need so I was on the cover with Pudsey Bear. Very | :17:41. | :17:46. | |
exciting. Friends at school had been jealous over the just William thing, | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
but getting on the front cover was a big deal. A little bit of gentle | :17:49. | :17:58. | |
teasing. The Radio Times was very much the publication in our house. | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
In fact, my grandmother buys my dad a subscription every year to the | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
Radio Times and he now has a leather bound cover that he puts them into, | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
so it is still there. He has a long way to go to notch up as many | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
appearances as the most featured cover stars. In third place, with | :18:15. | :18:21. | |
19, David Tennant, just beaten by David Attenborough with 20. At | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
number one, Her Majesty the Queen, with 35 covers in her 60 year reign. | :18:26. | :18:32. | |
Some people graced the cover through fame or fortune, others by different | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
means. In December 1988, it featured the winner of the Blue Peter Art | :18:37. | :18:43. | |
competition, Alice Roberts. Two decades on, she is Doctor Alice | :18:43. | :18:49. | |
Roberts, a TV science presenter. Of all of the press clippings, the | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
framed copy that they gave me is still up in our house at the top of | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
the stairs. Being on the cover of the Radio Times meant something | :18:57. | :19:03. | |
extraordinary. It led to my year in Doctor Who. That is how I got it. To | :19:03. | :19:11. | |
be in a magazine that was telling you what was coming on TV in those | :19:11. | :19:17. | |
days, it was a big thing. First-class dancing from Jim. Doing | :19:17. | :19:24. | |
the cha-cha-cha. I hope some of the strict Who contestants do it that | :19:24. | :19:35. | |
well. Posture. Let's show lend's cover of the Radio Times from 2009. | :19:35. | :19:45. | |
Looking very YMCA. It was supposed to be West side story. You just | :19:45. | :19:56. | |
fancy that costume! Larry is here to talk about the history of the Radio | :19:56. | :20:02. | |
Times. This is unbelievable. The official organ of the BBC, the first | :20:02. | :20:08. | |
issue. John Reith, the director-general at the time, had a | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
specific idea of what he wanted to achieve. He wanted it for the | :20:11. | :20:16. | |
discerning listener. At was the idea. As ever with the BBC, it was | :20:16. | :20:22. | |
all about cutting costs. What gave birth to it was the fact that the | :20:22. | :20:27. | |
newspapers wanted to charge to enter listings and to publish them. So he | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
decided he would cut around that and publish their own magazine. And 30 | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
decided he would cut around that and years on, he completely regretted it | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
and was quoted as saying the vulgarity of the Radio Times makes | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
me sorry I ever started it. This was all because of cover stars like Tony | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
Hancock. He did not like celebrities on the cover. Evidently, he did not | :20:48. | :20:59. | |
like TV at all. He wanted the radio. You might remember that edition. | :20:59. | :21:06. | |
Thank you very much! And there is Bruce Forsyth on the front. The BBC | :21:06. | :21:13. | |
kept a copy to catch criminals. Evidently back in those days the | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
schedules used to change a bit, so the police had access to a BBC file | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
which actually listed the programmes as they went out, actually | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
broadcast. So if somebody said they were sitting home watching a | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
television programme while a bank were sitting home watching a | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
robbery went on, they would go and check to make sure that the | :21:31. | :21:36. | |
programme did go out at that time. People have been buying it for years | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
to see what is on TV but it has dropped, hasn't it, in popularity? | :21:40. | :21:46. | |
At the beginning it was 8 million each week, but nowadays, TV Choice | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
sell 1.2 million, What's On TV sells 1.1 million. The Radio Times itself | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
sell 1.2 million, What's On TV sells 800,000 a week. But it doubles its | :21:54. | :22:00. | |
circulation at Christmas time, still very popular. There is a copy there | :22:00. | :22:05. | |
of one issued in 1988, which was the biggest selling magazine in British | :22:05. | :22:11. | |
history. It sold 11 million copies. At Christmas, do you get it as a | :22:11. | :22:17. | |
family and highlight it? We do. I do. Absolutely. 15 strokes under the | :22:18. | :22:31. | |
One Show! We are off to the Isle of Skye with Mike Dilger to see how the | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
number of sea eagles is on the rise. But not everybody is happy about | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
it. Local farmers blame them for stealing their sheep, and they think | :22:40. | :22:45. | |
they can prove it. The white-tailed sea eagle, | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
Britain's largest bird of prey, reaching flying speeds of up to 60 | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
mph. Their wingspan can reach over 2.5 metres. Once known as the battle | :22:53. | :23:00. | |
illegal, as bodies fell across Saxon England, this bird was quickly on | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
the scene to devour the pickings of the war. It was once a common sight | :23:04. | :23:11. | |
across England and Scotland. At by 1918, the white-tailed sea eagle was | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
extinct, and the last pair were nesting here on the Isle of Skye. | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
These magnificent birds were shocked and poisoned, not only by farmers | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
who feared for their stock but also ordinary people who learned to hate | :23:24. | :23:32. | |
this avian equivalent of the wolf. Folklore told of children being | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
snatched and carried off, and bounties of up to five shillings | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
paid for each eagle killed. That was nearly 100 years ago, but how much | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
of this fearsome reputation was fact, and how much was fiction? | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
Today, I am hoping to find out. fact, and how much was fiction? | :23:47. | :23:53. | |
Nearly 60 years after they were wiped out, an ambitious | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
reintroduction programme was initiated using young birds from | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
Scandinavia. Today, these massive eagles are soaring once again over | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
Scotland, with over 70 pairs nesting across the country, and a dozen here | :24:04. | :24:11. | |
on Skye. But the reintroduction has not been welcomed by everybody. | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
These farmers believe the sea eagles are attacking their livestock. Can | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
you put a figure on how many lambs you might have been losing each | :24:20. | :24:27. | |
season rest room I reckon 20%, maybe. Not all of that down to the | :24:27. | :24:34. | |
eagle, but a big percentage. They have kept evidence of the attacks. | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
These are pretty graphic, but how do you know it was inflicted by a | :24:39. | :24:44. | |
white-tailed sea eagle. The animal was checked by a vet, and the wounds | :24:44. | :24:50. | |
were consistent with being attacked by large talons into the flesh. A | :24:50. | :24:57. | |
fox would not conflict that damage on an adult animal. White-tailed sea | :24:57. | :25:03. | |
eagle is maybe attacking lambs, but are they killing and eating them? To | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
know for sure, we need evidence, and we have an opportunity to gather it. | :25:08. | :25:14. | |
Justin is a licensed rigour. He is visiting a wild -- white-tailed sea | :25:14. | :25:21. | |
eagle NEST. It is a chance to keep track of the species. Despite their | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
reputation, they are easily disturbed, so the process is quick | :25:25. | :25:31. | |
to avoid distress. How are you? Besides being a bit amused. You can | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
find the next one, Number Ten, which Besides being a bit amused. You can | :25:35. | :25:43. | |
goes on the right leg. Very difficult to fit. Remarkably, given | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
its size, this chick is just six weeks old. It is fitted with a ring | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
on each leg armour so it can be identified once it has fledged. As | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
well as the rings, Justin collects the contents of the nest for the One | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
Show. Among fish bones, there is the head of a duck, and crucially, the | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
remains of a lamb. Armed with evidence that the eagles are eating | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
lambs, the question remains, are they scavenging, or killing them? | :26:10. | :26:15. | |
Surely the lamb is a defenceless animal. In the rare cases that we | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
have found where a white-tailed sea eagle has killed a lamb, it seems | :26:19. | :26:24. | |
the lamb has already been severely compromised, either through illness, | :26:24. | :26:32. | |
parasites, fever. There is something that is affecting the lamb. You love | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
the white-tailed sea eagle is, but you can understand the local hatred | :26:36. | :26:42. | |
of the bird. White tailed eagles were here long before man, for | :26:42. | :26:47. | |
thousands of years. So the conflict that thing white-tailed sea eagle 's | :26:47. | :26:48. | |
and man has really just arisen in that thing white-tailed sea eagle 's | :26:48. | :26:55. | |
relatively recent times. -- the conflict between white-tailed sea | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
eagle 's and man. The loss of the lambs is clearly devastating to the | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
farmers here on Skye, but with the range of food available along the | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
coastal habitat, let's hope that the white-tailed sea eagle stays true to | :27:07. | :27:13. | |
its fish eating roots. It was unbelievable what was in the nest. | :27:13. | :27:18. | |
All right, time to find out how much unbelievable what was in the nest. | :27:18. | :27:23. | |
you know about the world of Strictly that you are about to enter for the | :27:23. | :27:26. | |
