:00:21. > :00:25.Welcome to The One Show with Alex Jones and Matt Baker. Tonight, with

:00:25. > :00:30.us is one of the funniest woman in Britain. And she is a bit of an

:00:30. > :00:35.animal lover. If I had an animal, I would have to be careful. One I had

:00:35. > :00:41.animals as a child, I loved them a little bit too much. There is a

:00:41. > :00:51.name for people like me. It is a hamster squeezer. Look at its

:00:51. > :00:54.

:00:54. > :01:00.little face! Sarah Millican! I love your face in that! You don't

:01:00. > :01:04.squeeze them that hard? I can't any more. I am banned from pet shops.

:01:04. > :01:10.It is for the best. We were going through your website earlier. You

:01:10. > :01:13.have the usual stuff, biography, etc, but then you have one section

:01:13. > :01:22.that is completely dedicating to the puddings you have eaten

:01:22. > :01:26.recently. Yes, well, recently, that has been a period of months.

:01:26. > :01:31.Unbelievably, we scrolled through them. We did not take hour figure

:01:31. > :01:37.off -- finger off the bottom and it took six minutes. Is there that

:01:37. > :01:43.many? I feel so proud! What is the connection to you and puddings?

:01:43. > :01:47.started taking photos. They look so nice and they go so quickly. I just

:01:47. > :01:51.thought I would take a photograph. People take photos of children and

:01:51. > :01:55.that and I have no children, I have puddings instead. I take a photo

:01:55. > :02:01.and I thought, it would be nice to have something on the website that

:02:01. > :02:06.is not saying, by this, or come to that. Something people can look at.

:02:06. > :02:14.And salivate over! Exactly. wanted to make you feel at home, so

:02:14. > :02:21.we have rustled up some puddings. Wow. Are they all for me? You will

:02:21. > :02:24.be delighted to know... You can share if you like. We have got a

:02:24. > :02:34.camera as well, so if you want to put this on the website, there you

:02:34. > :02:40.are. Great, marvellous. And they are really posh. If you love the

:02:40. > :02:43.pudding or two, how about sending in your photographs of you and your

:02:43. > :02:49.puddings to: Sarah will salivate over the best at the end of the

:02:49. > :02:54.show. Feel free to make use of that camera. La cite, our Facebook Page

:02:54. > :03:04.and e-mail exploded with messages about Katie Hopkins' view on

:03:04. > :03:04.

:03:05. > :03:07.striking public sector workers. Most were against her, with

:03:07. > :03:09.Margaret from Lancashire saying 'public workers are hard working

:03:09. > :03:12.and dedicated to serving the public', Ethel in Paisley saying

:03:12. > :03:14.'to claim public sector workers are all pen-pushers is wrong and

:03:15. > :03:17.arrogant', and Martin from Exeter saying what Katie said was

:03:17. > :03:20.'insulting'. There was some support though, with Theresa from Plymouth

:03:20. > :03:22.saying 'I wholeheartedly agree, the civil service don't have any idea

:03:23. > :03:26.about real life.', and Steve from Exmouth saying to strikers 'Get

:03:26. > :03:36.real, we pay your wages we expect value for money - which I don't

:03:36. > :03:36.

:03:36. > :03:39.think we get'. Today, we continue the Kent town of the strikes by

:03:39. > :03:42.talking to those who support the action.

:03:43. > :03:48.Many of us will be affected, but to his taking the action, why are they

:03:48. > :03:52.striking, and do they have a point? The issue is that our pensions are

:03:52. > :03:57.being threatened. These are pensions that we have earned over

:03:57. > :04:02.years by having below-inflation pay increases. They want me to have

:04:02. > :04:06.�120 a month of pay cut, with no discernible improvement in

:04:06. > :04:10.conditions or pensions. Part of the trade-off is that we do not get

:04:10. > :04:13.paid as well as people and the private sector. But maybe our

:04:13. > :04:16.pension schemes are a little bit better. We are going to lose a

:04:16. > :04:20.great deal if we take no action because the Government will be

:04:20. > :04:25.coming for our pensions. We believe that everybody has the right to a

:04:25. > :04:28.decent pension. Actually, we're fighting for the private sector

:04:28. > :04:33.pensions. We think that their pensions should be raised to the

:04:33. > :04:39.level of hours. We want people to understand the issues. We are

:04:39. > :04:45.asking for your support today, for the strikes which take place next

:04:46. > :04:50.Thursday, to defend pensions in the public sector. People are busy,

:04:50. > :04:54.walking to work in the morning. The idea of somebody shouting through a

:04:54. > :04:58.speaker, it is a good way to get a message across. We have had a good

:04:58. > :05:04.response. We have had people coming out from the shops and shaking

:05:04. > :05:08.their hands at us, honking their horns. The biggest crowd taking

:05:08. > :05:12.action is teachers. What do you think about the strike? -- the

:05:12. > :05:15.biggest group. I think it is justified because teachers deserve

:05:15. > :05:22.every penny they get. They go through a lot of training and they

:05:22. > :05:26.do not earn a great salary for many years. My child needs to be in

:05:26. > :05:32.school. What you say to parents whose lives will be made difficult

:05:32. > :05:36.on Thursday? -- what do you say. have done everything we can to

:05:36. > :05:42.minimise disruption. Not for a moment will say it is not going to

:05:42. > :05:47.disrupt them. We have taken the choice to have the strike after the

:05:47. > :05:51.public examination period. This is not a row with children or parents.

:05:51. > :05:54.It is with the Government. Many people have no pension. Why should

:05:54. > :06:00.they care whether you have a pension or not? The future of the

:06:00. > :06:03.country depends on good teachers. You will only get good teachers if

:06:03. > :06:07.you award them properly and if you look after them in old age. The

:06:07. > :06:13.average teacher's pension is about �10,000 a year. That takes them

:06:13. > :06:17.just above income support. effect of the strikes will be

:06:17. > :06:21.different around the country. Make sure that you use your local radio

:06:21. > :06:26.to check what is happening where you are. Many moons ago, you used

:06:26. > :06:30.to work in a JobCentre. Would you have gone on strike? I do not know,

:06:30. > :06:34.because I do not know enough of the story. The main thing that affected

:06:34. > :06:38.me was that the retirement age for women is going to go up. Equality

:06:38. > :06:43.is important, but I was looking forward to that. Women live longer

:06:43. > :06:49.than men so why was looking forward to the time when all the men are

:06:49. > :06:56.dead. I cannot have a cat because my boyfriend is allergic so why was

:06:56. > :07:00.looking forward to some cat time. But if you eat all these puddings,

:07:00. > :07:07.who knows? You will be delighted to hear that our inbox is full of

:07:07. > :07:13.pictures of puddings. Awesome! us talk about your comedy because

:07:13. > :07:19.you started it as a career relative the later on, so what was the

:07:19. > :07:22.changed? I had always written, short plays and short films, and it

:07:23. > :07:27.had always been from a funny point of view. I never thought of

:07:27. > :07:31.standing up in front of the Room of strangers, but then I got divorced

:07:31. > :07:37.and I thought, now I can do whatever I like. I felt quite

:07:37. > :07:40.empowered. Most people get a -- get drunk a lot, but I got in front of

:07:41. > :07:45.a room of strangers and told them about my life. And you felt quite

:07:45. > :07:49.at home? The first two-and-a-half minutes, they sat with their arms

:07:49. > :07:54.crossed, but then I did a joke about my dad and the whole room

:07:54. > :07:58.laughed. I thought, he might not love me, but the strangers do! It

:07:58. > :08:05.felt very good. I would recommend it to anybody going through a

:08:05. > :08:11.divorce. It helps if you're funny, you cannot just be heartbroken.

:08:11. > :08:14.you were at the Fringe in August. What can people expect? Well, my

:08:14. > :08:18.show is generally things that have happened to me and it is quite

:08:18. > :08:22.normal, things that people can identify with. It is usually quite

:08:22. > :08:27.rude. I have that thing where I am quite filthy. People do not expect

:08:27. > :08:31.that. Maybe I do not look like I'm going to be filthy. You don't. It

:08:32. > :08:37.is quite a surprise! I think if people come in, if they have seen

:08:37. > :08:40.me on TV, because you are not allowed to be rude, you get old

:08:40. > :08:43.ladies in and they think that she is good and clean, and then they

:08:43. > :08:47.have a shock. But they still laugh, because they are all just as dirty

:08:47. > :08:51.as the rest of us. One critic described you as looking like a

:08:51. > :08:55.Primary School teacher but with a mouth like a biker. I do not know

:08:55. > :09:01.if that is why I some to -- if that is because I sometimes have facial

:09:01. > :09:08.hair. Maybe that was not an in mack day. What are your parents think

:09:08. > :09:12.about this? They are watching today. They will specifically watch a

:09:12. > :09:18.programme that I am on, but they are already watching this. This

:09:18. > :09:25.will be the most proud they have ever been of me. Take them a piece

:09:25. > :09:29.of cake for. That will be nice. you are doing some warm-up date

:09:29. > :09:35.before Edinburgh. You have been in a curry house? Some alternative

:09:35. > :09:38.venues. It is a comedy gig, of the curry house. I am not just coming

:09:38. > :09:43.up to people in the middle of their poppadums and telling them some

:09:43. > :09:49.jokes about my boyfriend. It is nice, because they are such small

:09:49. > :09:57.venues, so there might be 50 or 100 seats. It is scarier doing small

:09:57. > :10:00.rooms. You can see all their faces. Similar to this. The very best.

:10:00. > :10:05.From one of our leading female comics to one of our leading

:10:05. > :10:09.businesswomen. Mary Portas, Mary Queen of Shops, is the latest

:10:09. > :10:13.celebrity brought in by ministers to help shape their policies.

:10:13. > :10:19.Permission, to save the High Street. She is starting in Peterborough. --

:10:19. > :10:22.her mission. As the queen of shops, she is the

:10:22. > :10:27.straight-talking retail group who rescues Britain's failing stories.

:10:27. > :10:33.In business, you have to be proactive. That is the truth. You

:10:33. > :10:37.might not like that, but that is not good taste. Now Mary Portas is

:10:37. > :10:40.the latest celebrity to step onto the political stage, drafted in by

:10:40. > :10:45.the Prime Minister to carry out a review into our ailing high streets.

:10:45. > :10:52.She has invited The One Show as she embarks on her first trip as the

:10:52. > :10:58.retails are. Lovely shop. -- retail Tsar. Is a busy? Businesses

:10:58. > :11:03.reasonably good. As tough as we expected. What is the point of

:11:03. > :11:08.this? The point of the report is to look at what the future of our high

:11:08. > :11:12.streets are -- is going to be. Slowly, we are losing retail from

:11:12. > :11:16.our high streets, big-name is, small independent names, and for a

:11:16. > :11:22.number of reasons. I do not know what the answer is. What are you

:11:22. > :11:27.hoping, to hear what people's complaints are? It is a mix. Today,

:11:27. > :11:32.I want to look out for issues that are coming up again and again. Rent,

:11:32. > :11:36.parking, looking and talking to consumers. Why do you not come to

:11:36. > :11:40.the town centre any more? Where are you shopping? What do you want?

:11:41. > :11:45.Speaking to the retailers, asking them what they need. Celebrities

:11:45. > :11:50.and governments have often danced cheek to cheek but while stars may

:11:50. > :11:54.add sparkle, when it comes to serious policy-making, are they

:11:54. > :12:02.just window-dressing? Has she been taken on because of her expertise

:12:02. > :12:06.or because she is a celebrity? fact that she combines a great

:12:06. > :12:10.knowledge and great experience, a great understanding of the sector

:12:10. > :12:14.with a high profile, it gives you more bang for your buck. We are not

:12:14. > :12:18.actually paying her. How much do you think you're a celebrity status

:12:19. > :12:26.is the reason you last year against your retail expertise? It is a

:12:26. > :12:30.trade-off. Of course. You need a face to do it. I would like to

:12:30. > :12:35.think that the face is backed up by some knowledge. Personally, I want

:12:35. > :12:39.to do it. If my celebrity status helps me to do that, in brilliant,

:12:39. > :12:42.and it has, because the big brands are saying they want to meet with

:12:42. > :12:48.me. Of course, Mary was a successful business person before

:12:48. > :12:53.she became famous. She has got real credibility. Given some of her

:12:53. > :12:57.clients, can she really give balanced advice? You work for

:12:57. > :13:01.Westfield and the big out-of-town shopping centres, surely it will be

:13:01. > :13:07.a conflict of interest? I work for everybody. Our work for global

:13:07. > :13:11.retailers, out of town, every kind of retail. Will people not think

:13:11. > :13:14.that she is being employed to draw people out of town and now she is

:13:14. > :13:18.saying that you should come to the High Street? I am not saying you

:13:18. > :13:24.should not go to any, I'm saying it is a mix of both. I have always

:13:25. > :13:28.said that. After meeting Mary, you can tell she has a genuine passion

:13:28. > :13:34.for what she's doing. In some ways, maybe that is all the Government is

:13:34. > :13:40.looking for. Before the people on the High Street, it is another --

:13:40. > :13:43.is it really the answer to their problems? The fact that they are

:13:43. > :13:48.putting a high-profile person in charge, it shows that they must be

:13:48. > :13:52.interested. Let us hope that action is taken to echo that. I think the

:13:52. > :13:59.high street could do with all the help it can get. So many empty

:13:59. > :14:02.shops in town. It is a shame. They are going to waste. Will the

:14:02. > :14:07.Government listen to her consultation? If they do, it is a

:14:07. > :14:13.plus. It it is window-dressing, then everybody's time has been

:14:13. > :14:18.wasted. This is where the Community should be, this is the heart of

:14:18. > :14:26.town. When it stops beating, that is a big worry. That is the future,

:14:26. > :14:31.what is going to happen when the I think it is highly commendable

:14:31. > :14:35.that something is being done. many of the big retailers are on

:14:35. > :14:42.the verge of going under? We have got the ones that we already know

:14:42. > :14:47.about, Woolworths, Jane Norman have just gone, TJ Hughes, a lot of big

:14:47. > :14:52.ones have gone, but a lot more are in trouble. Comet have announced

:14:53. > :14:59.their first loss in 16 years. Thorntons, they have been around

:14:59. > :15:06.for ages, lots of big names. And it is all happening in a relatively

:15:06. > :15:11.short space of time - why now? Normally the main points are in

:15:11. > :15:17.March, June, September and December. The big retailers normally pay

:15:17. > :15:21.their rent quarterly. If you think about the square footage of these

:15:21. > :15:25.big chains, when it gets to rent day, we could be talking about

:15:25. > :15:30.hundreds of thousands of pounds. That could be enough to tip it over

:15:30. > :15:35.the top. In addition, you have got the Internet, new media, this has

:15:35. > :15:38.affected things so massively. 10% of all retail sales are done on the

:15:38. > :15:42.Internet, and it is thought that within 10 years, that will

:15:42. > :15:50.quadruple. But it does take the pleasure out of shopping, doesn't

:15:50. > :15:58.it? I like touching things, don't you? Yes, when it says, do not

:15:58. > :16:02.touch! Forget about that! there's some interesting research

:16:02. > :16:06.which suggests that big chains closing could mean better things

:16:06. > :16:11.for the small retailers? That's right. Five years ago, the smaller

:16:11. > :16:20.retailers were dropping like flies, and that has slowed down

:16:20. > :16:26.considerably. It is all about diversity. All of a sudden, I mean,

:16:26. > :16:36.how many times now, I went into a florist, and they had a coffee shop

:16:36. > :16:42.in there as well. These small outlets are diversifying. I thought

:16:42. > :16:51.you were going to say coffin shop in a florist. You have met -- hit

:16:51. > :16:59.the nail on the head. A lot of the big stores, they cannot diversify.

:16:59. > :17:02.You will be back on Thursday, Dom. Yes, I am going to have this column

:17:02. > :17:07.where I will be answering your consumer conundrums. People have

:17:07. > :17:11.been ripped off, they have had bad customer service. This is the

:17:11. > :17:17.address, let me know, and I will try and sort out some of your

:17:17. > :17:23.problems. As we have seen in the past, Mike Dilger will do anything

:17:23. > :17:27.to get up close and personal with nature. He decided his next target

:17:27. > :17:33.would be the spectacular kingfisher, and it would push him to the limits

:17:33. > :17:39.of his endurance. Along Britain's lowland rivers and

:17:39. > :17:44.streams lives a tiny bird, the kingfisher. Barely bigger than a

:17:44. > :17:49.sparrow, it streaks past so fast on its way downstream that all you see

:17:49. > :17:54.is a flash of blue. When it comes to the kingfisher, I'm going to

:17:54. > :17:58.need all of my skills in film craft. That includes knowing where to go

:17:58. > :18:03.and when and how to approach it without scaring it off. To give

:18:03. > :18:11.myself a fighting chance of seeing one, I have come to meet the world

:18:11. > :18:14.expert in filming kingfishers. Charlie has filmed almost every

:18:14. > :18:22.aspect of kingfishers on this West Country river. No-one knows these

:18:22. > :18:30.birds more intimately. Charlie, wildlife cameraman would always say,

:18:30. > :18:35.blue whale, Tiger - why Kingfisher? I have just ended up with them.

:18:35. > :18:41.When I was six or seven, I became obsessed, and I am still stuck with

:18:41. > :18:47.them 30 years later. What is your favourite halcyon moment with

:18:47. > :18:52.Kingfisher's? Well, I am a cameraman, so it is quite a

:18:52. > :18:55.mercenary story. I was filming two females, fighting to the death,

:18:55. > :19:00.trying to downy each other. And then allowed to have nowhere, a

:19:00. > :19:10.mink jumped out and grabbed one of them. Unfortunately, that is my

:19:10. > :19:12.

:19:12. > :19:17.favourite dish kingfisher moment. What makes this Riverso perfect?

:19:17. > :19:22.has got a perfect mixture of river banks, it is packed with fish, and

:19:22. > :19:29.then it has got loads of tree cover and branches. It is a mixture of

:19:29. > :19:34.everything. Charlie has been keeping his eye on a nest hole just

:19:34. > :19:40.downriver. There has been a female in it for a couple of weeks, and he

:19:40. > :19:46.thinks that chicks are about to Fletch. It is worth mentioning, he

:19:46. > :19:51.has a special licence and permission to do this. That's good

:19:51. > :19:56.news, they have gone. It has obviously been more than a few days.

:19:56. > :20:00.Is that better or worse for our chances? I think it is better,

:20:00. > :20:06.because there will be more kingfishers around. One thing

:20:06. > :20:09.Kingfisher's do has really helped Charlie to film them. They hunt

:20:09. > :20:13.from a Riverside perch. By carefully placing sticks in the

:20:13. > :20:23.river, he has been able to capture this year grace and beauty of the

:20:23. > :20:28.

:20:28. > :20:37.If you go and sit in there... a bit of expert camouflage, and one

:20:38. > :20:47.of Charlie's makeshift perches, seeing one should be a doddle. All

:20:48. > :20:50.

:20:50. > :20:56.I have to do now is lie stock-still # No-one to talk with.

:20:56. > :21:01.# All by myself. # No-one to walk with.

:21:01. > :21:10.# But I'm happy. # Ain't misbehaving.

:21:10. > :21:20.# Saving my love for you. I am Hoffman, half Bankside

:21:20. > :21:29.

:21:29. > :21:36.That was a male Kingfisher. Perched right in front of me, about three

:21:36. > :21:43.metres in front of my toes. I reckon there's more to come as well.

:21:43. > :21:47.He didn't see me. Of course there was more to come. But I'm rather

:21:48. > :21:57.embarrassed to say, after five hours of waiting and lying flat on

:21:58. > :22:10.

:22:10. > :22:14.my back, well, only Charlie was Absolutely brilliant. I will say in

:22:14. > :22:21.my defence, I defy anyone to lie like that for five hours, staring

:22:21. > :22:26.at one twig. But that's your job. But that is actually the third time

:22:26. > :22:31.you have done it. And it is your job to be funny as well, so come on,

:22:31. > :22:34.give me your best shot. I did not want to be mean, did you enjoy

:22:34. > :22:41.watching the film, because that's probably the first time you have

:22:41. > :22:47.seen Kingfisher's. It has been lovely to meet you, Sarah. In all

:22:47. > :22:52.seriousness, we all need has and beautifully, some more than others.

:22:52. > :22:57.But some animals go to sleep in unusual ways. People like you

:22:57. > :23:02.probably need your regular bedtime. I need about 15 hours. But some

:23:02. > :23:06.animals are amazing. These dolphins compartmentalise their brains. One

:23:07. > :23:10.half of the brain is a wake, and the other half is asleep. They do

:23:10. > :23:14.that because when we are asleep, we are breeding subconsciously, but

:23:14. > :23:19.dolphins cannot do that, because they would drift down, they would

:23:19. > :23:25.basically drown, they would not be able to come up for air. I thought

:23:25. > :23:31.they were supposed to be clever. Can you keep one of your hearts of

:23:31. > :23:36.your brain open, Sarah? Moving on, swifts are astonishing, the moment

:23:36. > :23:41.they come out of the nest, they sleep, eat and basically made on

:23:41. > :23:44.the wing for three years without touching the ground. And they have

:23:44. > :23:49.lots of little micro-naps as they go. They go the Government up into

:23:49. > :23:53.the air at night and sleep in these huge vortices. There's nothing to

:23:53. > :23:58.eat. They go really high so they do not bash into skyscrapers and

:23:58. > :24:04.things like that. You would be a rubbish Swift, wouldn't you?

:24:04. > :24:11.would go into the first skyscraper that came towards me. This is a

:24:11. > :24:15.double act. And of course, back to sleep now. Thank you, good night.

:24:15. > :24:19.The city of Nottingham is well- known for Robin Hood, its football

:24:19. > :24:25.teams, and those never-ending roadworks on the M1. But below

:24:25. > :24:30.ground, there is a different world waiting to be discovered. We sent

:24:30. > :24:34.Dan Snow to investigate. Nottingham is unique amongst

:24:34. > :24:39.British cities. Beneath its modern buildings lies a hidden honeycomb

:24:40. > :24:45.of more than 500 seldom seen and often forgotten man made I have

:24:46. > :24:50.been invited to this beautiful spot by David walker of a local

:24:50. > :24:57.archaeology organisation. He has given me this mysterious note - it

:24:57. > :25:05.says, find me. There is also a key. I genuinely have no idea what I'm

:25:05. > :25:14.walking into. Wow! Amazing, the brick here just turns into, I think

:25:14. > :25:24.this is sandstone. It feels a bit like a Cold War bunker down here.

:25:24. > :25:28.It is a bit strange. Are you David walker? Nice to meet you. So, is

:25:28. > :25:35.this some kind of Second World War munitions factory, something like

:25:35. > :25:40.that? In its later life, yes, it was used as an air-raid shelter.

:25:40. > :25:49.That was in the Second World War. But it has an earlier life as well.

:25:49. > :25:57.Between about 17 At and 1810, it was a sound mind. The sand down

:25:57. > :26:06.here is very pure, and therefore ideal for glass production. This

:26:06. > :26:13.was where they dug out sand to meet the demands of the Industrial

:26:13. > :26:16.Revolution? That's right, yes. David's team is on a mission to

:26:16. > :26:24.locate and survey as many of these as they can. They're using laser

:26:24. > :26:29.technology. They're transforming the caves in to 3D animation.

:26:29. > :26:36.Scanning these caves took eight days, resulting in 100 separate

:26:36. > :26:40.scans, each one coloured. We create this detailed archaeological record

:26:40. > :26:45.which we can keep for posterity and use in the future for monitoring

:26:45. > :26:50.and measurement. We can make these spaces accessible to people all

:26:50. > :26:55.over the world. You're creating a virtual replica of this cave system.

:26:55. > :27:00.That's right. We hope to do as many as possible underneath the city.

:27:00. > :27:06.digging down, they effectively gained free land. But if the stone

:27:06. > :27:13.is soft enough to calf by hand, why don't the caves collapse? Because

:27:13. > :27:19.this sandstone is unique. Here, above and below, you can see huge

:27:19. > :27:22.deposits of sandstone, and that's why you get very stable caves. This

:27:22. > :27:26.is one of Nottingham's last remaining medieval properties above

:27:26. > :27:29.ground. Most have been lost to redevelopment. But thankfully,

:27:29. > :27:36.below the surface, you can still find some of the city's ancient

:27:36. > :27:40.architecture. Beneath this bookshop on Castlegate lies a curious

:27:40. > :27:47.arrangement of rooms, originally carved out of the sandstone more

:27:47. > :27:53.than 750 years ago. They were rediscovered in the 1960s.

:27:53. > :28:00.Archaeologist Alan was called in to survive them. The feature behind us

:28:00. > :28:03.here is the kiln. But there are other bits of the cave, which are

:28:03. > :28:11.rooms which were used to make beer. It is almost like a medieval

:28:11. > :28:15.factory. Yes. In its heyday, barley would have been stored in here and

:28:15. > :28:21.soaked with water from the adjacent well. It would then be spread over

:28:21. > :28:25.the floor to germinate and finally roasted in the kill. Why on earth

:28:25. > :28:32.build it so far underground? This is one of the mysteries. Firstly,

:28:32. > :28:42.it is fireproof, in a city built of timber, largely. And also, it

:28:42. > :28:44.

:28:44. > :28:48.allowed people to carry on all You just do not know how many caves

:28:48. > :28:52.there are under this incredible city. How many were filled in to

:28:52. > :28:56.create the foundations for these buildings? But thank goodness for

:28:56. > :29:00.this new laser technology, which is allowing us to map in almost

:29:00. > :29:05.forensic detail had to the caves, so they will be accessible for all

:29:05. > :29:10.future generations. Here's something else from

:29:10. > :29:15.Nottinghamshire. This has come in from Angela. We have had loads, so

:29:15. > :29:22.thanks for all of them. This one came from County Durham. I could
