:00:16. > :00:20.Hello, and welcome to The One Show with Matt Baker and Alex Jones.
:00:21. > :00:23.As the host of Robot Wars, our guest this evening deserves a proper,
:00:24. > :00:31.This bot was manufactured in County Wicklow, Ireland.
:00:32. > :00:37.Height - 195 centimetres with his hair, and exactly
:00:38. > :00:44.Special weapon - sardonic Irish wit and ability to speak
:00:45. > :01:09.APPLAUSE Hi, Dara, good to see you. Nice to
:01:10. > :01:14.see you. Fine fact that, Dara. I was scared of myself! Mighty fighting
:01:15. > :01:19.machine, I must say. I was in here on Monday, and our guest said she
:01:20. > :01:22.thoroughly enjoyed making the series but couldn't confirm if there was
:01:23. > :01:28.going to be a second series. Can you shed any light? I could confirm,
:01:29. > :01:36.but, you know, I will twinkle at you in the way that would talk... It did
:01:37. > :01:40.do very well, didn't it? People really got into it, it did extremely
:01:41. > :01:46.well. If you have any great ideas for robots, why not write it out and
:01:47. > :01:53.who knows? They want more exciting robots. Fingers crossed, but we
:01:54. > :02:00.can't say. We have thought about it. Marty Jopson, head of hydraulics,...
:02:01. > :02:08.That sounds like it is going to be an amazing robot! Are we in, Dara?
:02:09. > :02:13.You're in! We need cannon fodder, we always need a bad robot at the
:02:14. > :02:22.start. Just show to how good the good robots are. It is great to hear
:02:23. > :02:23.the night. -- it is good you're here tonight.
:02:24. > :02:26.Following a spate of incidents across the UK, Polish people living
:02:27. > :02:28.in Britain are becoming increasingly concerned about their
:02:29. > :02:30.safety and wellbeing. Andy Kershaw has been to Leeds
:02:31. > :02:33.to see how the Polish community there is feeling.
:02:34. > :02:39.On this street recently, a large gang of youths left a Polish man
:02:40. > :02:44.seriously injured in what police are treating as a racist attack. It is
:02:45. > :02:48.not just a one-off. The Polish Embassy says it has dealt with 27
:02:49. > :02:52.xenophobic incidents in recent months, ten of those in the North of
:02:53. > :02:56.England. They are only the ones that have been reported to the embassy.
:02:57. > :03:07.So, what is it with all this anti-Polish and Austin is? I was
:03:08. > :03:15.called... -- nasty mess. Now, half the shops are Polish. It's better if
:03:16. > :03:25.you don't go out in the evening. It's better, really. Are you scared
:03:26. > :03:31.of going out at night? You. -- yes. Martin is keen to take the heat out
:03:32. > :03:34.of the situation here in Leeds. I love those, Polish gherkins. He is
:03:35. > :03:39.one of the 800,000 polls who have come to Britain in the past 12
:03:40. > :03:46.years. When did you come here, Martin? I came to England in 2004.
:03:47. > :03:51.Why did you come? Well, there was work, and there was opportunities.
:03:52. > :03:57.Have you noticed that attitudes have changed more recently towards the
:03:58. > :04:02.Poles? Amongst the Polish community, there is fear about this. Apparently
:04:03. > :04:07.there is anger growing as well. Violence is not limited to Leeds. In
:04:08. > :04:12.Harlow in Essex, this man died after being attacked in the street. The
:04:13. > :04:17.Polish community there staged a silent demonstration, only for a
:04:18. > :04:20.further attack on two of the Poles to be reported to the police that
:04:21. > :04:26.very night. Two Polish police officers have since flown from
:04:27. > :04:29.Warsaw to patrol Harlow Street in a bid to lower the temperature. Here
:04:30. > :04:35.in the heart of the Polish community in Leeds, I'm keen to hear from
:04:36. > :04:39.locals and Poles alike. Anything happened, and nobody even saw it. It
:04:40. > :04:47.has become an issue since the referendum? Gas. There is animosity
:04:48. > :04:52.towards jobs. They are prepared to work? Yes. Have you noticed hostile
:04:53. > :05:00.attitudes towards the Poles have increased since the referendum? Yes,
:05:01. > :05:05.it has. The right to say, what are you doing here, why don't you go
:05:06. > :05:10.back? I told my family, there is no jobs of going back home after 9pm.
:05:11. > :05:15.You advise them to stay off the street? Yes, you never know. At the
:05:16. > :05:19.Polish Catholic centre, there is a special meeting to discuss the rise
:05:20. > :05:23.in hate crime against Polish people. It has just gone 7pm and it is
:05:24. > :05:26.standing room only. Police, councillors and local people are
:05:27. > :05:30.here to listen and to try and ensure the Polish neighbours that the
:05:31. > :05:35.recent hostility is a minority view. There are thousands of people in
:05:36. > :05:40.Harlow who are welcoming, tolerant, and wanting you to be there. Next,
:05:41. > :05:45.the audience gets a chance to ask some questions. Since Brexit, two of
:05:46. > :05:51.my kids faced for the first time a hate crime. They have been told,
:05:52. > :05:56.like, we hate polish people, they take jobs from our parents. The
:05:57. > :06:01.problem starts from young people. Do you have any plan to help us?
:06:02. > :06:05.Talking about prevention, it has to start in families, and it has to
:06:06. > :06:12.start in schools, and it can't start soon enough. What can I do at night,
:06:13. > :06:16.somebody breaks into my house? Without breaking the law?
:06:17. > :06:21.Afterwards, I catch up with the mum whose kids have been told to go back
:06:22. > :06:28.home by children at the school. Polish people in Leeds now scared?
:06:29. > :06:31.I'm not scared, I just feel sorry, and I'm upset that, you know, we
:06:32. > :06:35.came to this country to have a better life. And we picked this
:06:36. > :06:39.country, we chose to do that, and now we start to think that it wasn't
:06:40. > :06:44.a good choice. In meeting is never going to solve everything, but this
:06:45. > :06:49.Chief Superintendent hopes it can let people know they are not alone.
:06:50. > :06:52.The police and the local council and our partners take very, very
:06:53. > :06:56.seriously and anyways hate incident or crime. I would appeal to anybody
:06:57. > :07:00.who is sustaining that kind of issue to get in touch with us. The one
:07:01. > :07:05.thing that has come up time and time again today during our filming is
:07:06. > :07:10.the word Brexit. Certainly, Polish people here in Leeds feel that the
:07:11. > :07:16.Vote Leave European Union back gave racists a licence to hate. And what
:07:17. > :07:20.has come out of this meeting tonight is that the Polish people have gone
:07:21. > :07:24.away feeling reassured that there are people who do care and are
:07:25. > :07:29.prepared to listen. STUDIO: Thank you very much to Andy.
:07:30. > :07:34.Lucy is here now. Let's start by defining a hate crime. Good idea.
:07:35. > :07:39.There is a common definition, which has been agreed by the National
:07:40. > :07:42.police Chief counsel, and the Crown Prosecution Service. That is that a
:07:43. > :07:45.hate crime which is any criminal offence which is perceived by the
:07:46. > :07:50.victim or another person, I will come back to that, because that is
:07:51. > :07:55.important, to be motivated by hostility or prejudice. That can be
:07:56. > :07:59.based on race or ethnicity, religion or belief, sexual orientation,
:08:00. > :08:03.transgender identity. That would constitute a hate crime. This is
:08:04. > :08:08.what we call a self defined crime. The victim of a witness or both must
:08:09. > :08:13.perceive it to be a hate crime for it to be so, if that makes sense. We
:08:14. > :08:17.heard in the film that that the police and the council are taking
:08:18. > :08:20.this very seriously. As far as penalties are concerned, what is
:08:21. > :08:23.happening with regards to punishment? Well, it will be
:08:24. > :08:27.prosecuted as a standard offence. Say it was a public order offence,
:08:28. > :08:35.somebody had thrown a brick through a window, that would be prosecuted
:08:36. > :08:38.in court as a public order offence. If it was proved that there was a
:08:39. > :08:40.hate crime element, that would be attached as a prefix. If it was
:08:41. > :08:43.racially aggravated, it would be a racially aggravated public order
:08:44. > :08:46.offence. There would be an uplift in the penalty. That is how it would
:08:47. > :08:53.work". Now, this is an underreported crime. It has to be said, very few
:08:54. > :08:58.of these go to trial. The ones that do go to trial, over 80% or actually
:08:59. > :09:03.prosecuted, which is a very high amount. That's where we are at.
:09:04. > :09:08.After the EU referendum, we did do an item like this and said that hate
:09:09. > :09:13.crimes had spiked. What is the situation now? That's correct. If
:09:14. > :09:17.you take a week before the EU referendum through to the end of
:09:18. > :09:22.August, there were 3500 more reports of hate crime than they're worth of
:09:23. > :09:27.the same time last year. -- found there were. That was a spike, so
:09:28. > :09:30.much so that the police began to publish weekly figures. We are now
:09:31. > :09:34.at the state when the level of reported hate crimes has decreased,
:09:35. > :09:39.and it is what we might call above normal, just slightly above normal,
:09:40. > :09:43.if that makes sense. And the police have stopped doing weekly
:09:44. > :09:47.statistics. So it has returned to the level it was before. But the
:09:48. > :09:52.police are at pains to point out that it is still a high priority and
:09:53. > :09:57.it is still, despite that spike, and reported crime. Dara, you were
:09:58. > :10:02.saying to me that you are Irish, and when you hear stories like that
:10:03. > :10:06.might we are a generation and a half from when we were regarded as
:10:07. > :10:10.foreign in this country. There were signed out side pubs saying no
:10:11. > :10:17.Blacks, no dogs, no Irish. We are aware of this, because we still are
:10:18. > :10:23.foreign when we come into your country, but now we hosted your
:10:24. > :10:27.robot fighting shows and you are used to Irish people! The Poles are
:10:28. > :10:30.similar, coming from a Catholic country, they are working in
:10:31. > :10:33.construction work here, they send over young immigrants who wish to
:10:34. > :10:39.work, which the Irish did generations ago. There is a general
:10:40. > :10:46.disdain towards that kind of crime. Thank you. We're going onto a
:10:47. > :10:51.subject which is very close to your heart, Dara. Saving Britain's
:10:52. > :10:55.Theatre heritage. Every year, a list of historic theatre is in urgent
:10:56. > :10:59.need of restoration is published by the beard is trust. We will hear the
:11:00. > :11:06.story of one of them right now. This is the Palace Theatre in Plymouth.
:11:07. > :11:11.I'm Ian Wren. For many years, I've walked along this street and gone
:11:12. > :11:15.past this amazing theatre. And wondered, why is it being allowed to
:11:16. > :11:24.fall into disrepair? It really has to be saved. This is the new Palace
:11:25. > :11:32.Theatre in Plymouth, which was opened in 1898.
:11:33. > :11:43.It is an architectural gem, which, amazingly, has survived. I'm Patsy
:11:44. > :11:49.Willis. My father was William Willis, who was the general manager
:11:50. > :11:54.of the Palace Theatre here from 1946 until 1956. The biggest act that was
:11:55. > :11:59.here, although there were many, was probably Laurel and Hardy, who came
:12:00. > :12:03.here in 1954. Unfortunately, they only managed to do one performance,
:12:04. > :12:09.I think, because Oliver Hardy was then taken ill with a mild heart
:12:10. > :12:21.attack. My father wrote a very nice letter to stand moral, and he got a
:12:22. > :12:27.very nice letter back. -- to Stan Laurel. All of the great names had
:12:28. > :12:31.been here. Harry Houdini performed on the stage. We are told that he
:12:32. > :12:38.escaped from a box which had been made by the men from the local
:12:39. > :12:43.shipyard in as little as 12 minutes. You can see as you stand here in
:12:44. > :12:47.front of the stage how magnificent the original building was. The
:12:48. > :12:53.extraordinary decoration around the front of the circle, looking up into
:12:54. > :12:59.the gods. And of course, that magnificent dome at the top. You can
:13:00. > :13:05.see very clearly the nautical theme of the theatre, with the front of
:13:06. > :13:11.that box representing the stern of a ship. I have wonderful memories of
:13:12. > :13:18.this place from my early childhood. It was always a very magical place
:13:19. > :13:23.to be. Particularly the tunnel down stairs leading into the stalls,
:13:24. > :13:27.which was dazzling, and had wonderful red carpets and golden
:13:28. > :13:33.walls. It was like walking into fairyland, it was a very, very
:13:34. > :13:37.special place. It's sad to see it in this state. But I'm hopeful that it
:13:38. > :13:43.will eventually get back to how it was originally, which would be
:13:44. > :13:48.fantastic. The beauty of this theatre is that it is recoverable.
:13:49. > :13:52.Even though it's gone through so many transformations, it's been a
:13:53. > :13:55.nightclub, it's been a bingo hall, there is still the original
:13:56. > :14:11.magnificent theatre underneath. My name is Mark is, I'm the director
:14:12. > :14:15.of music. I'm part of the team that is striving to get the building up
:14:16. > :14:19.and running again -- my name is Marcus. We are aiming to create a
:14:20. > :14:24.space which is multifunctional and the community can use it. We have
:14:25. > :14:27.put together a choir, our focus is to perform concerts to raise funds
:14:28. > :14:37.for this building. For me as a musician, the most
:14:38. > :14:41.attractive and appealing feature of this building is the acoustics as
:14:42. > :14:44.muck they are sublime will stop probably better than anywhere else
:14:45. > :14:54.in the city. Aubel the acoustics are sublime.
:14:55. > :15:00.It's going to take years to get this building to where we needed to be.
:15:01. > :15:02.But I think for the sake of the community and the locals and the
:15:03. > :15:04.building that is so steeped in history, it is crucial that we bring
:15:05. > :15:22.this building to life. we love an old theatre, don't we?
:15:23. > :15:25.We're big fans. Everyone does, they are beautiful buildings, you can
:15:26. > :15:29.hear the stories coming off the walls, they are rooms in which Harry
:15:30. > :15:32.Houdini played, Charlie Chaplin, any number of these up and down the
:15:33. > :15:37.country. The number of theatres in the country is only in the hundreds
:15:38. > :15:42.really, but the reason the body I'm involved in... I'm involved in the
:15:43. > :15:50.Theatres Trust. In 1914-1976 Britain lost 800 theatres. 800? This was to
:15:51. > :15:54.step into the process, try to advise, check the viability, then to
:15:55. > :15:58.coordinate with local groups who wanted to campaign, like those
:15:59. > :16:04.people you saw, to protect the theatres in their environment. Every
:16:05. > :16:08.year the Theatres Trust publishes a list of theatres that risk register.
:16:09. > :16:13.It grades in terms of beauty of the building, importance to the
:16:14. > :16:16.community, and its imminent danger. Thereafter 86 theatres on this
:16:17. > :16:24.register, is there a favourite for you? This covers everything from the
:16:25. > :16:27.end of peer theatres to mobile theatres, Brighton hippodrome is a
:16:28. > :16:36.good example of one sitting at the top for the past few years, built in
:16:37. > :16:40.1897, used to be a circus theatre, now a boarded-up ruin of a building.
:16:41. > :16:45.Huge dome, gorgeous building, but the community group there has now,
:16:46. > :16:50.because a viability study showed it could still work, there was no need
:16:51. > :16:53.to break them down into small screen cinemas and lose that big
:16:54. > :16:58.auditorium... Now the local group have raised fundraising from the
:16:59. > :17:05.national lottery, from the coastal communities fund, so that, we could
:17:06. > :17:07.possibly restore that. That is the key, the business side, that's the
:17:08. > :17:14.reason a lot of them have been closing. A lot of them close a long
:17:15. > :17:18.time ago as well. They became nightclubs or bingo halls, because
:17:19. > :17:22.bingo halls, at the time the theatre was forced to be viable financially,
:17:23. > :17:26.the facade... They put a facade around it. When the bingo craze died
:17:27. > :17:30.down, the theatre building is still there when you take down the facade.
:17:31. > :17:33.If you lose the building it's gone forever and some of these are
:17:34. > :17:38.astonishingly good. A lot of them have come back from those uses,
:17:39. > :17:40.disappeared for 50-60 years then the community and ordered them back,
:17:41. > :17:46.efforts were made, they were turned back into use. Is there one success
:17:47. > :17:51.story? The one I thought was working... Verraszto I did I played
:17:52. > :17:56.in the Dunfermline Alhambra, a 1920s theatre that became a cinema, which
:17:57. > :18:01.became a bingo hall. For about 60 years wasn't operating as a theatre.
:18:02. > :18:05.In 2008 they started a campaign to get it going again. They've got the
:18:06. > :18:11.1930s Lyon side that says Alhambra. In the middle of Dunfermline. The
:18:12. > :18:15.blood Dunfermline don't have to cross the Firth of Forth over the
:18:16. > :18:17.Forth Bridge, to get to Edinburgh to see shows, shows come to them
:18:18. > :18:22.because they've got this fantastic room that they've brought back to
:18:23. > :18:24.life. Fantastic. You've got developers knocking on the door
:18:25. > :18:29.because the argument of needing housing and all of that. It's
:18:30. > :18:33.perfectly fine... Heritage for its own sake, how dare you change these
:18:34. > :18:38.things... Just the potential of this room remains. These aren't wrecks,
:18:39. > :18:42.we're not saying... These buildings that can be saved. People would say,
:18:43. > :18:46.but for development, the Dudley hippodrome, with a huge community,
:18:47. > :18:50.was going to be flattered for a car park at one stage, then people
:18:51. > :18:53.stepped in. We've got 36 on the register, not all have community
:18:54. > :18:58.groups. Some would benefit from having some community work. Some
:18:59. > :19:03.have fantastic groups in Bradford, Burnley, working really really hard
:19:04. > :19:09.to save their local theatre. A full list... Breaks your heart. A full
:19:10. > :19:20.list can be found on our website. Yesterday we had Dara's old mate in
:19:21. > :19:26.here, Lord Sugar. It's like it's the apprentice week. We've got Nick
:19:27. > :19:28.Hewer now. We set him a tricky PR challenge that got him buzzing. Have
:19:29. > :19:33.a look. I'm on a mission to use my
:19:34. > :19:38.experience from a career in marketing and PR to attempt a
:19:39. > :19:45.rebranding campaign for some of our least popular wildlife. Today's
:19:46. > :19:50.subject, the wasp. I'm not actually really sure what wasps do. The first
:19:51. > :19:55.thing I think of when I think of a wasp is pain, sharp pain. I don't
:19:56. > :20:00.like wasps, to be honest, I get stung every other year. Wasps
:20:01. > :20:04.definitely have an image problem. When a bee buzzes into your space,
:20:05. > :20:10.what is your reaction? Don't hurt it! If a wasp comes near, we say
:20:11. > :20:15.kill it, kill it fast. The bee has had a charmed life, but now it's
:20:16. > :20:19.time to fight the wasp's corner. To find out why wasps are valuable to
:20:20. > :20:26.us I've come to meet one of the UK's leading wasp experts, Doctor Sumner.
:20:27. > :20:31.This is the nest of a yellow jacket wasp, isn't it astonishing? It's
:20:32. > :20:37.made of paper, they collect bark from a tree, then chew it up into a
:20:38. > :20:41.ball and smooth it out with their mandibles to produce this really
:20:42. > :20:45.fine paper. They are incredible origami masters. It's all very
:20:46. > :20:49.interesting but what has it done for us? Each individual will have been
:20:50. > :20:55.doing us a service by controlling the insect pests around us. If it's
:20:56. > :20:58.that plague tomato plants, caterpillars that we'll be eating
:20:59. > :21:03.your lettuce leaves, because that is what they feed to their brood. OK, a
:21:04. > :21:10.world without wasps would mean plagues of pests. How do I convince
:21:11. > :21:16.the wider public to love the wasp? I want to make a short ad, but
:21:17. > :21:20.capturing viewer attention is hard. Making sure they remember the ad is
:21:21. > :21:24.even harder. I think we need something creative and unexpected. A
:21:25. > :21:29.surprise ending that will have lasting impact and will change
:21:30. > :21:34.people's perceptions. The wasps papermaking skills have given me an
:21:35. > :21:37.idea that will involve origami expert Tony O'Hare. To put the
:21:38. > :21:43.commercial together I've enlisted the help of editor Steve White. The
:21:44. > :21:47.public perception is they are a nuisance, and they sting you. So
:21:48. > :21:54.we've got to have some sort of softer approach. I've received
:21:55. > :21:57.footage from the studio. We shot some extreme close-ups, you see what
:21:58. > :22:03.amazingly engineered creatures they are. Yes. But when you blow them up,
:22:04. > :22:08.really magnify them, they actually... Your intensifying the
:22:09. > :22:12.fear factor. I find those rather frightening actually. Sure, we've
:22:13. > :22:16.got to show what it is, but I don't think we should linger on it. All
:22:17. > :22:20.you're doing is damaging your argument that is going to come later
:22:21. > :22:26.on. We need something else. I'm hoping the answer is the origami. I
:22:27. > :22:30.think we've got here is something rather intriguing. I think it'll
:22:31. > :22:36.capture the imagination curiosity, rather. We rammed across the
:22:37. > :22:41.benefits, the value of the wasp. This is a piece of genius. Now it's
:22:42. > :23:15.time to show the public the finished film.
:23:16. > :23:23.Has our film convinced the public? I didn't know that. After seeing this
:23:24. > :23:27.I definitely feel more positive about them but it depends on the
:23:28. > :23:33.next attack. Whether this positive feeling continues or not. They still
:23:34. > :23:36.sting but they are more useful than I thought. They obviously do have a
:23:37. > :23:42.useful purpose but I think they have bad press. I'm happy with that
:23:43. > :23:45.response. Have I managed to change your mind? I hope so.
:23:46. > :23:55.They are about a six out of ten, rather than two. You can't deny they
:23:56. > :23:58.are beautiful to look at but whether or not you want them crawling on
:23:59. > :24:01.your dinner outside is another matter. Nick Hewer is quite
:24:02. > :24:04.persuasive and we hear you have the same skills because you won a
:24:05. > :24:14.debating competition in the 90s. Yes, yeah I did, yeah. We dug up
:24:15. > :24:19.this photo of you. LAUGHTER That's... What do you remember of
:24:20. > :24:23.that trip? It was a hell of a trip. Marcus, me and Bernard were winners
:24:24. > :24:26.of the national debating Championships in Ireland as
:24:27. > :24:30.students. That was us flying to America, they flew us to a load of
:24:31. > :24:35.American universities. We won the final, then the prize was we went to
:24:36. > :24:38.America, a series of American universities, to debate against
:24:39. > :24:42.their debating teams. On the same motion six times in a row so you can
:24:43. > :24:46.imagine by the six the debate we pretty much knew what they were
:24:47. > :24:49.going to say. We would stand up first and say, they are going to
:24:50. > :24:55.tell you this... They'd be going, how do you know that? We won them
:24:56. > :24:58.all. Shall we put Dara's skills to the test? We'll put a series of
:24:59. > :25:05.arguments that, you have to go with them. Whether I find them personally
:25:06. > :25:12.Republic or difficult? We'll find out in a moment. Bald people aren't
:25:13. > :25:16.trustworthy. The Grantham if you look around, there is probably a
:25:17. > :25:19.bald repairs and near you right now, look them in the eyes, do you trust
:25:20. > :25:24.them, really? What is with female hair, why do they choose to do that?
:25:25. > :25:29.It's inherently wrong. We were meant to have hair yet these people, these
:25:30. > :25:32.bald people choose not to have hair. Why? They'll never tell us, they
:25:33. > :25:42.never tell us why they don't want us to have hair. Very good. Post office
:25:43. > :25:46.queues are brilliant. They are, they are brilliant. I'm doing this down
:25:47. > :25:50.the lens as if I'm convincing them. I'm happy to go door-to-door on this
:25:51. > :25:56.because we live in a fragmented society. And often the only time we
:25:57. > :26:02.need people in our community is in a post office queue. It's good just to
:26:03. > :26:08.have that quiet time to finally just... OK. The last one, it's good
:26:09. > :26:14.to talk in theatres. Of course it is. Because we live in a fragmented
:26:15. > :26:20.society. LAUGHTER Is good to these theatres, these
:26:21. > :26:30.recently renovated theatres, did we need them? I think we needed a car
:26:31. > :26:36.park myself. There is the klaxon! That is worrying, how easily I found
:26:37. > :26:40.that. There's a prize you won the competition. Can you imagine hearing
:26:41. > :26:48.these words at school everybody? No homework tonight, or ever! CHEERING
:26:49. > :26:53.No homework ever. Pupils at one secondary school in Essex may never
:26:54. > :26:56.have homework again. After the head teacher announced they are going to
:26:57. > :26:59.let pupils choose how much they want to do. What do the adults think?
:27:00. > :27:10.Helen has been to find out. They need to have homework, they
:27:11. > :27:13.need to have a timetable, this is something, these are skills they
:27:14. > :27:16.will need for the rest of their lives. It's a long time since I was
:27:17. > :27:21.at school but when I was there we used to get lots of homework. I
:27:22. > :27:26.think I would have been lazy if I hadn't done homework, so I would
:27:27. > :27:31.think homework is a good thing. How do you find homework? Boring and
:27:32. > :27:35.quite hard. Is it? We learn quite a lot at school so I don't think we
:27:36. > :27:39.need it. They are under pressure, they can't do everything before they
:27:40. > :27:42.go to bed. In the day they do work really hard. To come home and have
:27:43. > :27:46.to do all of this what they've learned in the day again at night,
:27:47. > :27:50.it seems a little bit tyres for them, they get fed up. It's good to
:27:51. > :27:55.do homework at home because parents can be involved. I think it's a good
:27:56. > :28:00.interaction time. Teacher can't give them all of that attention that they
:28:01. > :28:02.can get with their parents at home. When I was doing homework my mum
:28:03. > :28:06.used to get involved doing it with me, it was nice, it made learning
:28:07. > :28:09.nice for me because I was doing it with my mum. What would you say if I
:28:10. > :28:15.showed you those papers, literacy and new Morrissey? It's an
:28:16. > :28:20.11-year-old Satz test. Underline the subordinate clause in each sentence.
:28:21. > :28:25.What is a subordinate clause? It's not going to happen. You're finding
:28:26. > :28:33.become and a nominator, my love. I've forgotten how to do it. Two and
:28:34. > :28:44.a tent. We asked the right person. How about circling the conjunction.
:28:45. > :28:47.Yet. Ten out of ten. In the end it becomes your homework because you
:28:48. > :28:51.have to sit with them all the time and try to make sure they are doing
:28:52. > :28:57.it properly. They shouldn't be overloaded with homework, I think
:28:58. > :29:03.they miss out on family life. And playing with friends. On balance,
:29:04. > :29:08.we've been doing homework for 100 years, I don't know how long. We are
:29:09. > :29:13.all still here, so I would keep doing it. I love doing homework with
:29:14. > :29:17.my children, I just enjoy it. And you, can Dara. We had to do it, so
:29:18. > :29:27.they have to do it, that's the way it works. Thank you for coming. It's
:29:28. > :29:31.been lovely, it really has. APPLAUSE Tomorrow Barry Gibb will be talking
:29:32. > :29:34.and singing, not to be missed. See you then. APPLAUSE
