welcome to The One Show and yes, tonight we are joined by the star | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
of one of the funniest and longest running sitcoms in television | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
history. He is the former Boston barman, now keeping us on the edge | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
of our seats in CSI, it's the most watched drama in the world. Yeah. | :00:48. | :00:53. | |
Please raise your glasses and say cheers to Ted Danson. APPLAUSE AND | :00:53. | :01:00. | |
CHEERING. Lovely to see you, Ted. Welcome to | :01:00. | :01:07. | |
outside. Anything can happen outside. Anything can happen. They | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
preare -- they are predicting rain. I think we are all right. We are | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
good. It's five degrees warmer than in California. I heard that. That's | :01:15. | :01:21. | |
not right. All the Englishmen that went to Santa Monica to live are | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
furious probably. It's temporary, it's usually colder. We will catch | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
up. You will love what we have in store for you tonight. There we go. | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
Sorry that was a dodgy pass. But he got it no problems. As the | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
selection for the paralympic basketball squad has been announced | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
we have four of the girls and guys who are representing the UK. | :01:43. | :01:51. | |
played basketball, Ted. Nearly! did, in high school and fancied | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
myself quite good and went to college and discovered I was not | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
good. I think acting became, well, all right it's not as good as | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
basketball but I will give this a try kind of thing. We are going to | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
be chatting to them later. The glorious weather this weekend | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
meant that beaches around the country were packed. But, hol Kay-- | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
- holiday-makers could soon find themselves banned from swimming at | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
one of our most famous resorts. It's because of what's lurking in | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
the water. We gave Simon Boazman and wetsuit and licence to | :02:20. | :02:30. | |
investigate. All right, all right, I am not | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
James Bond and this isn't the Caribbean, this is Blackpool. The | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
reason I am here is because what should be one of this resort's | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
greatest assets, could become its biggest embarrassment because in | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
the future holiday-makers coming here could be told not to go in the | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
sea. The Marine Conservation Society has | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
found the quality of sea water here is amongst the dirtiest in Britain. | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
In fact, by 2015 under new European rules the water quality doesn't | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
improve, no swimming zones could be on the famous beaches. This is the | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
problem. It may look clean, but when they tested it last year it | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
failed to meet even the minimum standard for water quality. On one | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
occasion, they found three and a half times the acceptable level of | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
bacteria in it. Mike is from the Marine | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
Conservation Society. It's a question of public health. When | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
people come to beaches they expect seas to be clean. If I was to go in | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
the sea and start swimming what would happen? What could I catch? | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
If you are unlucky enough to pick something up, ear infections, nose, | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
eyes, throat, stomach upsets. Infections like these can be caused | :03:44. | :03:50. | |
by things such as raw sewage in the sea. This is part of the pumping | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
station. During heavy rainfall everything washes off the streets | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
and beaches, including dog waste, farm waste, even donkey droppings. | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
If the sewers fill up, some pumping stations like this one act as a | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
safety valve to prevent flooding, sending diluted sewage out to sea | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
through an underground pipe. Lots of rain, so the system doesn't back | :04:13. | :04:19. | |
up, they spill that sewage out into the sea. We don't know how often | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
they're spilling. None of this, of course, will help attract visitors. | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
In the last few years they spent over �300 million here, revamping | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
everything from the iconic tower, investing in their mile-long | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
promenade, and updating their famous trams. | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
But if visitors are advised not to go in the sea, what impact could | :04:43. | :04:51. | |
that have on tourism? Local hotel owner Vicky believes no | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
swimming signs on the beach wouldn't just ruin her morning | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
routine... That's pleasant. Let me buy you a cup of tea. What do you | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
think the impact will be on business, if at some point there | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
are signs on the beach saying don't go in the sea? Tragic for Blackpool. | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
I don't think the majority of people who come here come to swim | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
in the sea but it's part of the experience of being here. We have a | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
fantastic promenade and beaches. A lot of money spent in the area. It | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
would be tragic if you can't swim in the sea. Is the fact someone is | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
telling you that could make you sick, is that going to put you off | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
going in there? Well, it should do, shouldn't it? Probably not, | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
actually. I think I will probably be all right. Vicky may be amongst | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
those willing to brave waters but what do visitors think? Would signs | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
put people off coming here? I don't think. You have lots of other | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
attractions. If that was here it would probably put me off for a a | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
start. If you have young kids you want them to go paddling. The water | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
off 754 of Britain's beaches were tested. 516 were rated excellent. | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
But Blackpool was one of 25 where the quality is so bad swimming | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
could be banned. The town leaders have spent money on beach cleaners | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
and bins for litter and for dog waste. Plus, millions regenerating | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
the seafront. But is it all in vain if tourism suffers? How bad a pr | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
exercise is it going to be if, as is threatened, there are signs | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
saying please do not use the water? It's not the situation we want to | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
be in and we are working hard to make sure that doesn't happen. | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
you didn't deal with the situation, would it have an impact on tourism? | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
People worry it would do. You can ask the question again and again | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
and I am not going to answer in that way. Do you think it would? Do | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
you fear would if signs went up? job is to make sure signs don't go | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
up N the event that they did, yes it would have a negative impact and | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
that's one of the reasons we are working hard to make sure they | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
don't. United utilities told us they're spending �250 million | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
updating the sewage system. And they work closely with local | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
councils and the Environment Agency to improve the network. | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
Now, Blackpool have to 2015 to meet the tough new EU regulations on | :07:07. | :07:14. | |
water quality. If they don't, signs like this could become a common | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
sight on the beach. Very interesting to see what | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
happens there. Ted, it's very well publicised in America, I am sure | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
lots of people don't know, that how much of a seasoned campaigner you | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
are for ocean consrerisation -- conservation. It was one of those | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
signs that got me started about 25 years ago and I started a small | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
organisation that then merged and grew to the world's largest oceaned | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
a sroe Casey group and it's pretty much what I do when I am not acting. | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
And books and all sorts off the back of that. The major threat the | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
oceans face is overfishing. We are doing is in a wasteful des | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
instructtive manner. The good news is you can turn that around if you | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
start doing it a smart way. You are a busy man. As well as that work | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
you have also joined the cast of CSI. It's the most popular TV drama | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
in the world. Why do you think it's so popular? Wow, you know, I ask | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
myself that. I think it's taking something dark and scary and then | :08:17. | :08:23. | |
looking at it from a scientific perspective that we all don't think | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
of usually. It's a forensics mystery. So you get to look at the | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
dark scary side of murder and mayhem from a scientific point of | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
view and I think it probably captures people's imaginations. | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
play the new supervisor. Let's look at the first time we see new the | :08:41. | :08:50. | |
:08:51. | :08:51. | ||
series. I thought you said two dead. I did. | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
What's going on? Should I be worried about something here? | :08:55. | :09:05. | |
:09:05. | :09:05. | ||
Welcome back. You must be Stokes. Yeah. You must be contaminating the | :09:05. | :09:11. | |
crime scene? No, I already cleared the area. Give me a hand. Thank you | :09:11. | :09:21. | |
very much. DB Russell. New guy. APPLAUSE. We did notice that DB | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
Russell is not your sort of conventional character. He is quite | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
a home person, and not quite as as tough as hard as these guys usually | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
and he likes to do things like we saw in that clip, lying down where | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
the victim is and get a sense of what they experienced. I think the | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
difference of this character of some of the others that he was a - | :09:42. | :09:48. | |
he is a family man, he has kids and wife and he wants to keep that | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
separate. Work, the dark side, and life and his family. He is kind of | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
a mentor now to this group that got out of hand and everything. It's | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
interesting that quote you said, each crime is a story and the | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
victim's the story-teller. Right, he was a literature major and then | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
he wanted to write mysteries and he was terrible at it. He would hang | :10:10. | :10:16. | |
around police bars talking to people and then that's how he got | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
into the science part. Obviously you have an incredible background | :10:20. | :10:26. | |
in comedy. This is new for stphaou now for --. Now for something | :10:26. | :10:32. | |
completely different. Did you do a lot of research. I ended up in a | :10:32. | :10:38. | |
quadruple autopsy and it was shocking. It changed my life a | :10:38. | :10:46. | |
little bit really. It was massively life-changing. You see these people | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
being worked on. Did you go back in for more or was once enough. That | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
will be my one-off. Your dad was an archaeologist, I suppose that | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
helped pave the the way somewhat. grew up around bones and skeletons | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
and all of that. Got into trouble once, because I found a skull that | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
had a bullet hole in it and instead of - I was playing with my friends | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
and instead of calling the police and getting my father and doing the | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
archeologically correct thing, I stuck it on the end of a pole and | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
played Romans and Galls for the rest of the day. I got into a lot | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
of trouble. We understand as well that you are into period dramas and | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
you would like to have a crack at Downton Abbey. Yes, only if thee | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
hire myself -- they hire myself and my wife at the same time. We are | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
hooked on that. If you did get the call this is potentially how you | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
might look. Here you are. We mocked it up in front of the Castle they | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
film in. Looking good there. that upstairs? Would you be | :11:49. | :11:58. | |
upstairs or downstairs? Downstairs. Much more fun. Well, this is a | :11:58. | :12:05. | |
family show, both of us, absolutely. Good lad, Ted. CSI is on Tuesday on | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
Channel 5 at 9.00pm. Now, when Larry Lamb researched his family | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
history we had a bit of a shock. Turns out that one of his ancestors | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
earned a living by taming wild animals. He was keen to discover | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
more so we sent the lamb into the lions' den. | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
Throughout my entire life I have never spared a second thought for | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
lions, or man's relationship with them. Then I discovered that my | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
great-great uncle Tom was a famous lion tamer who worked under the | :12:34. | :12:40. | |
name of Martini Bartlet. This revelation came while I was taking | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
part in the history series Who Do You Think You Are. He was known as | :12:44. | :12:53. | |
the lion King. I am overwhelmed. | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
It gave me a fascinating glimpse into a world I knew nothing about. | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
Now I want to explore more and find out how lions have been | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
entertaining British people for hundreds of years. | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
The first evidence of lions being brought to these shores was in the | :13:08. | :13:15. | |
13th century when they were kept at the tower of London as part of the | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
Royal menagerie. They were mainly for showing off, a status symbol | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
that the royalty and rich could afford and this was the lions lot | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
until the late 18th century. With exploration widening our horizons | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
and a new thirst for knowledge our relationship with these big cats | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
changed. They moved out of palaces and into zoos whose purpose was | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
scientific and educational. But this wasn't the end of the story. | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
With the expansion of the empire there were a lot of exotic animals | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
brought to the country. It happened to coincide with the time when the | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
roads in Britain were finally good enough to transport by cart for the | :13:52. | :13:59. | |
first time. Showman of the day put these two things together and the | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
travelling menagerie was born. Lions could make people serious | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
cash by going on the road and performing with tamers. | :14:06. | :14:12. | |
These are men who were there as performers. They are playing a role. | :14:12. | :14:19. | |
This is a wonderful picture of Martini Bartlet, wearing a | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
military-style uniform and braiding. He would be on the front of the | :14:22. | :14:32. | |
:14:32. | :14:36. | ||
show, strutting up and down with Once in the lians it was about man | :14:36. | :14:41. | |
dominating nature. They would often wear medals, this | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
one has a chest full of hardware. They are not military medals, but | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
they were awarded for bravery by the menagerie owner himself. | :14:50. | :14:57. | |
Was it an act? Or were people like my great-great uncle at risk? | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
are lots of reports of people dying quite horribley. | :15:02. | :15:12. | |
:15:12. | :15:13. | ||
That is the frisson of going to the menagerie. | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
The thrill of tamers brushing with death kept audiences entertained | :15:17. | :15:23. | |
well into the TV era, where it became a staple of family viewing, | :15:23. | :15:29. | |
but as performing animals in circuses, fell out of favour, in | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
the 1980s and the 90s, this marked our changing relationship with | :15:34. | :15:41. | |
lions, now most people want to see them in safari parks, like here in | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
Woburn. Not only have our attitudes to keeping lions have changed, but | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
also towards our safety. I'm not getting in the cage with them. The | :15:50. | :15:58. | |
next best thing. Woburn have 12 lions who spend each night in an | :15:58. | :16:03. | |
enclosure in the building and are let out into the main reserve in | :16:03. | :16:09. | |
the morning. Today I'm giving Casanga some breakfast. | :16:09. | :16:19. | |
:16:19. | :16:19. | ||
There you are, beautiful boy. Just to think that my great, great | :16:19. | :16:25. | |
uncles would put their heads in the mouth of a lion like that?! Many | :16:25. | :16:32. | |
tame pressures killed by their lions, but my great, great uncle | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
lived until 63 after making and then losing a fortune with the | :16:36. | :16:42. | |
animals. He always said, that you must never forget they are wild | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
animals can't can always return to that state. Getting so close to | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
these animals has entranced me and gave me a great deal of respect for | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
my ancestors who goat in the cages and worked with them every day. | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
Perhaps the medals were not just for show after all. Cheers, Larry. | :17:00. | :17:06. | |
You can't beat sitting outside with an ice-cream, watching lions with | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
Ted Danson?! I tell you what, we are nearly halfway through and the | :17:10. | :17:17. | |
rain has stayed away. These are lollies, not popsicles, | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
is that right? Yes, and now we are going to ask you a lot of questions | :17:22. | :17:28. | |
with your mouth full! Sorry, do you have sensitive teeth? | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
Because they are not mine! Next question. | :17:34. | :17:42. | |
I had a flash back of the vicar... Well, so is it right you have | :17:42. | :17:48. | |
ancestors up in Scotland on your mum's side? Yes, my mother was a | :17:48. | :17:57. | |
McMaster. My father was James Eric McMaster, but he was born in London, | :17:57. | :18:02. | |
but we were ferociously Scottish, he was never really able to live | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
there. So we were Anglophiles from the day I was born. | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
My grandfather on the other side came from, not Manchester, where? | :18:11. | :18:18. | |
Shoot... Liverpool! Liverpool! We know more than you do, Ted! | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
more. We have a great photo- you of you | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
as a young lad, sat there at the end of the table there. You are! We | :18:26. | :18:32. | |
think that is you, you can confirm it? I'm going to deny it! Yeah, | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
that's me. Yeah, that is definitely you. | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
There is my sister on the left. It's a great photo. | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
Let's get on to Cheers it is the 30th anniversary it did influence | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
lots of other comedies in America, but was it a hit from the start? Or | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
did they think it was to be a short-lived project? No. There were | :18:54. | :18:59. | |
70 shows on the air that year. We were last. We were 70, we were | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
almost cancelled. I think we would have been if they had anything that | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
they thought was better to put if there, but luckily the media and | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
the critics loved the show. That's what kept us on the air. | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
You are brilliant bar skills as well. Let's remind ourselves. I | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
love this. Sammy, this guy here doesn't | :19:19. | :19:26. | |
believe me about your bar slide. Can you serve him one up? | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
pleasure. Let's get this rubbish out of the | :19:30. | :19:37. | |
way. Clear the runway! OK, Sammy, any time you are ready... There you | :19:38. | :19:47. | |
:19:48. | :19:48. | ||
go, sir. APPLAUSE Hit the brakes, pal! | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
missed a trick, we should have set up a bar. | :19:51. | :19:58. | |
Oh, that's not a trick. That's a skill! People are still watching | :19:58. | :20:03. | |
Cheers 30 years later, still laughing at the jokes, why is it | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
relevant today? I think it was great writing. They were funny, the | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
writers. It finished in 1983, it was one of | :20:12. | :20:18. | |
the most watched second to Mash? Yes. | :20:18. | :20:27. | |
84 million watched it. More than Friends. Matt Le Blanc was here. | :20:27. | :20:33. | |
I hope you told him that?! We did. It makes you think, why don't you | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
make anymore? Is there a thought of you getting back together again? | :20:38. | :20:44. | |
would make asses of oifs. It would be terrible. A bunch of old people | :20:44. | :20:52. | |
pretending they were hip in a bar. Now, both of us are really big fans | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
of Three Men and a Baby and Three Men and a Little Lady, now, is | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
there going to be Three Men and a Bride? There has been talk, but I | :20:58. | :21:07. | |
think we are bog to hop over it and do Three Very Old Men and a woman | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
going through Menopause! Well, as long as you dress up and put a | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
plastic face on, brilliant. Well, we will be back to Cheers, it | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
is being repeated at 6.00pm every weekday on CBS Drama. | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
30 years ago this week, the Falklands War was taking a dramatic | :21:26. | :21:35. | |
and decisive turn. Here is what happened in the next seven days. | :21:35. | :21:40. | |
N-the last hour we have heard on the ground in East Falklands, the | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
British have achieved their first major victory in the drive to | :21:45. | :21:51. | |
repossess the island. The goose Green Airfield have | :21:51. | :21:56. | |
fallen to British Forces. We get the impression, they are on the way | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
to Port Stanley and an end to the war. They did not give in easily. | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
They fought until they realised that they were beaten. Then they | :22:04. | :22:14. | |
:22:14. | :22:14. | ||
showed the white flags and then they showed the faulgt fought a | :22:14. | :22:21. | |
little further. -- we very much regret to announce that Lieutenant | :22:21. | :22:30. | |
Colonel H Jones was killed in the action to take Goose Green. | :22:30. | :22:38. | |
Kievkiev in Liverpool, 60 merchant seamen joined the ferry to take | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
1,500 troops to the South Atlantic. The men gathered to await coachs to | :22:43. | :22:53. | |
take them to Devenport, where the 9-,000 -- 9,000-tonne ferry is | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
being prepared. Some had been out- of-work for months and saw it as a | :22:56. | :23:02. | |
chance to earn money in a job. It is a matter of earning money. | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
I'm proud to go. I want to do something that I believe in. That's | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
why I want to go. I don't want him to go. I want him | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
to stay at home. Well, you heard what your mother | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
said, do you feel the same about signing on? Yeah, I still want to | :23:17. | :23:23. | |
The Pope travelled to the Midlands and Mersey, and made a plea for | :23:23. | :23:30. | |
world peace. Today, the scale and the horror of | :23:30. | :23:40. | |
:23:40. | :23:42. | ||
modern warfare makes it totaly unacceptable as a means of settling | :23:42. | :23:50. | |
differences between nations. Now to a less serious aspect of the | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
grim business of the battle for the Falklands. The challenge of keeping | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
the troops relaxed and entertained in off-duty hours that they are | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
able to snatch. The artists taking part in the Task | :24:03. | :24:08. | |
Force Special, paraded this morning, all are giving their services free | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
in making an hour-long video cassette, the copies to be rushed | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
out to reach the fleet in about a week. | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
Anybody who was asked who was able to do it, was free to do it and did | :24:21. | :24:31. | |
:24:31. | :24:33. | ||
it with pleasure. It is a very exciting, visual act. | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
The British Forces are pressing on to their main objective, Port | :24:37. | :24:43. | |
Stanley. Full preparations were under way to | :24:43. | :24:48. | |
use anyway Pam, a burning jelly that sticks to the skin of British | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
Forces. The British commanders fear that there may be more stocks at | :24:52. | :24:58. | |
Port Stanley and Argentine forces may be turning to it in a desperate | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
tactic. And they were well aware that one | :25:01. | :25:08. | |
battle remained, the one for Port Stanley, but the reaction was short | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
that Argentina may surround. I don't understand that word. That | :25:12. | :25:18. | |
world is not in mire dictionary. they say they are going to withdraw, | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
withdraw within the next ten to 14 days, there would be no need for | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
battle. # I don't want to spend the rest of | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
my life # Looking down the barrel of a | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
northern knife # Now, more on that next week. | :25:36. | :25:42. | |
Now, we have the basketball team for the Paralympics training. | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
There they are. Now, Murray Treseder is the coach of the men's | :25:46. | :25:52. | |
team. How influential were you in deciding who the squad would be? | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
have been together over a four-year cycle, players had the final | :25:57. | :26:03. | |
selection last week, but... The men got silver that the last | :26:03. | :26:09. | |
competition? Yes, we are on track. We won the European championships | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
in Israel last year, the first time in 16 years. The progress has been | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
pleasing. The women's squad are young. They are the youngest group | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
at the Paralympics, they have shown remarkable improvement. | :26:22. | :26:28. | |
It is not just about performance, fiscal abilities matter, there is a | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
point system? You do. People watch the Paralympics and they have to | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
understand that people have a class fiction if you are severely | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
impaired, that the sense of balance is not great, you are a one-pointer, | :26:41. | :26:46. | |
but one of the things that your coach has to be good at is adding | :26:46. | :26:52. | |
up to 14 quickly, as once you get the 14 points, that disadvantages | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
your team. Well, let's have a wander over | :26:55. | :27:00. | |
there. Come on, Ted. From the women's team | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
we have Sarah Grady, Helen Turner, also Matt Sealy and Ian Sagar from | :27:05. | :27:11. | |
the men's team. Come on in, first of all, a huge | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
congratulation! Give us an idea, how did they tell you? What was the | :27:16. | :27:21. | |
process? We had an individual meeting after the World Cup this | :27:21. | :27:26. | |
weekend. You walked in, you were told whether you were in or out, | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
but thankfully we auld made it. It was difficult, as some of the | :27:30. | :27:38. | |
people that you were training with for a long time, you had to console | :27:38. | :27:41. | |
those people? We did not know on the day until after, but after | :27:41. | :27:44. | |
there was a lot of e-mailing and phoning. | :27:44. | :27:50. | |
Is Murray a hard task master? He looks to be a tough coach? Firm by | :27:50. | :27:53. | |
fair. And what about training. Of course, | :27:53. | :27:57. | |
we are edging closer to the Paralympics, are you going to amp | :27:57. | :28:01. | |
it up now? It is managing the training we have been doing, | :28:01. | :28:05. | |
working towards the goals that we have to achieve. So some may have | :28:05. | :28:12. | |
to up their goals a little bit. Do you have a spare balls? Ted, you | :28:12. | :28:18. | |
know you were say before you were really good as basketball? I have a | :28:18. | :28:28. | |
:28:28. | :28:28. | ||
wand on my back! Well if you feel like having a pop... That's a long | :28:28. | :28:34. | |
way! Oh! Absolutely brilliant stuff. Lovely stuff. Well, that is all | :28:34. | :28:39. | |
that we have time for, unless, Ted, you want another pop. Go on. Get as | :28:39. | :28:45. | |
close as you want. Yes, go! Oh! So close! This is why | :28:45. | :28:49. |
