Hello, welcome to the One Show with Alex Jones. And Matt Baker. | :00:18. | :00:25. | |
Tonight's guest celebrated her birthday yesterday, and one of her | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
presence was this book. But who could it be? The book was written 16 | :00:29. | :00:35. | |
years before she was born, 43 years before she started to work in | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
television. Everyone's favourite, the face of the BBC Winter Olympics | :00:41. | :00:46. | |
coverage, it is Clare Balding! Yes! Thank you. Happy birthday. I love my | :00:47. | :00:57. | |
birthday, so I had all my schoolmates and university friends | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
around for drinks last night to celebrate the important landmark of | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
43! You do not need a special birthday to have a party. The | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
announcer on Radio 4 bought me that book, part of a series that was | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
written in the 1950s about different careers for girls. It does this | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
under election, girls looking for a different career. This one is all | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
about Clare, who goes to work in television. You didn't want to do | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
this when you left university. No, I didn't, Matt! I did not really know, | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
I wanted to be a writer, actually, in that kind of junior way. You have | :01:39. | :01:46. | |
done a few books, we know that. We will be quizzing you about the | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
Winter Olympics very shortly. I love a quiz, a special birthday quiz? Of | :01:51. | :01:58. | |
course! Although there is a shortage of new homes being built in the UK, | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
there is rarely a shortage of objections to plans admitted. Lucy | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
Siegle has been play Leicestershire village to find out how residents, | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
when it came to a local planning issue, we given a chance to | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
contribute, rather than complain. This is a fairly typical English | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
village in the heart of Leicestershire, village church. A | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
fruit and veg shop. There is a village pub. And a village | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
referendum. A village referendum? What is that? Broughton Astley is | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
facing a big expansion, and because of a change in the law, more than | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
7000 villages are getting a vote. What is in the plan? Two housing | :02:41. | :02:49. | |
areas. That is 500 new homes. The parish council wants a yes Bolt to | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
lock developers into a 15 year blueprint. It includes a supermarket | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
and extras like a new medical centre and more sports facilities. That is | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
our existing Recreation Ground, that is the centre, the retail centre. | :03:06. | :03:13. | |
But there is a big catch. Voting no will not stop the 500 houses from | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
being built. It is not the most utopian, | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
inspiring vote. It is trying to strike a balance. We have to strike | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
a balance between where it would fit in with the least detrimental impact | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
on the village, because we want to try to retain being a village. | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
Whatever the referendum outcome, many of the open Spaces here are | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
destined to disappear, but a no vote would throw out carefully laid | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
long-term plans in favour of a traditional case-by-case planning | :03:50. | :03:51. | |
system which could make the growth of the village had to predict and | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
control. You would be forgiven for being | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
confused about this. Vote yes and the village gets 500 new houses and | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
extra amenities. Vote no and the village gets 500 new houses and some | :04:10. | :04:16. | |
extra amenities. It doesn't seem to make any sense. To make matters | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
worse, there has been an anonymous campaign giving locals the wrong | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
idea that a no vote would stop the new houses. Bill and Dave have voted | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
no but are puzzled about what they voted against. The wife voted yes | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
for the same reason I voted no, which is we do not want any houses | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
in the village. You voted no to say, I do not want the building. From the | :04:44. | :04:51. | |
information we had, a no vote, it is not too late to stop the plans which | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
are in place. Villager cairn has been running his own yes campaign. | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
For him, it is a choice between gradual development that suits local | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
people or out of control house building. It is a choice, but | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
Hobson's choice, isn't it? Yes, if we get a yes vote, we can keep the | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
population of the village to roughly 10,500. If we were to say no, and | :05:17. | :05:24. | |
directing the population will go to about 16,000, with no additional | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
facilities, which is an thinkable, really. It is clearly village is up | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
to some tough decisions about the pace of growth. This referendum has | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
been made possible by a change in the law, the Localism act of 2011, | :05:37. | :05:47. | |
and it has cost ?10,000 to stage. The moment of reckoning is | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
approaching, the ballot papers have been counted. This could be seen as | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
a vote for the whole idea of referendums, a yes meaning, thanks | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
for the power, a no meaning it has been a big waste of time and money. | :06:04. | :06:12. | |
The results are about to come in. It does feel a little bit tense in here | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
now. Total number of votes cast, 2747. I do declare that more than | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
half of those voting have voted in favour. That is a pretty decisive | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
victory, so thumbs up for the plan, and I guess for localism. That was a | :06:31. | :06:37. | |
decisive result. Relief for the parish council. Fewer than 300 | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
people voted no. So a resounding victory for the yes campaign in what | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
is only the seventh local referendum of this type. It will be interesting | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
to see where the next referendum pops up. | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
Thanks very much to Lucy, good luck to the residence of Broughton Astley | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
and their village development. Joe is yet to give us more of an insight | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
into this planning news, when will the next referendum be? In seven | :07:06. | :07:12. | |
weeks, on the edge of Norwich, that will be a neighbourhood planning | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
referendum. 38% turnout is not as bad as it sounds. In this country, | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
we tend to turn out for general collections, 60% plus, local | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
elections not so much, when they are not in general election year. 38% is | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
pretty good, people want to have a say. We are always hearing about how | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
much we need new housing, but how much is needed? We are probably sick | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
of hearing it, but we badly need new housing. The bottom line is that the | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
population is growing, we have an ageing population. Right now there | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
are 10 million people over the age of 65. In 30 years, there will be 20 | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
million people over the age of 65, and they have all got to live | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
somewhere. We have also got more people coming into the country and | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
leaving, so net immigration. The population is growing, and we do not | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
have enough houses. We are building 100,000 new houses every year, not | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
enough, and so far off the pace that we need to 240,000 per year will | :08:13. | :08:23. | |
stop where do they all go? And while we are not building, the cost goes | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
up. People are feeling the pinch, people having to go into house | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
shares and flat shares. They said they would cut red tape to make it | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
easier to build new houses, but that comes with complications. Yeah, | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
there are over 100 rules and regulations for new homes. David | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
Cameron wants to cut that to about ten, so things like a minimum window | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
sizes, Roodeye mentions, strength of front doors. -- room dimensional is. | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
Hopefully it will save money that is passed on to people trying to buy | :08:58. | :09:05. | |
houses. You do wonder, don't you? . We already have the smallest average | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
size of new home in Europe, we have got a graphic, look at new homes | :09:09. | :09:16. | |
throughout the world. In the UK, it is about 818 square feet. If you | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
look at Ireland, 15% bigger. Netherlands, a small country, 53% | :09:22. | :09:29. | |
bigger. In Australia or the USA... They are huge! Last night, Eric | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
Pickles was saying he wanted every new home to have space for bins. He | :09:33. | :09:39. | |
can forget that! Thanks very much, Joe. From March, gay couples in | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
England and Wales will be able to get married, declaring their love in | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
public to friends and family. But for some people it can be really | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
daunting telling friends and family. This is my mum Irene. Things | :09:55. | :10:01. | |
were pretty desperate at school, I was bullied quite badly. I thought | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
like a complete outsider. People were speaking a different language. | :10:06. | :10:15. | |
I knew he was deeply unhappy, I came home from work one night, and he was | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
sobbing. He said, Mum, I feel like there is nothing to live for. I sort | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
of had a feeling he might be gay, and I thought it was best to ask | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
him. When mum asked me if I was gay, my whole world turned on its head. | :10:31. | :10:37. | |
He said, I am 99% sure that I am. Their reaction was fantastic, 1 | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
billion times better than anything I could have hoped all dream dog, | :10:42. | :10:47. | |
really. -- dreams of, really. I came out | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
when I was 16. The biggest thing was coming out to my family, because I | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
was close to both my parents. I felt that my dad never really approved of | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
same-sex relationships, so that is why I was always nervous about | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
coming out to them. In the end, I came out and said, look, I am | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
enabling should ship with a girl, and it didn't go down well at all. | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
-- I am in a relationship. He said, get out of my house. That was the | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
last time I ever saw him. It was Christmas Day four years ago. I have | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
not had a birthday card, I have not had a Christmas card. I was the | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
first person in the family to graduate from university. I wanted | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
him there. You always have that feeling when | :11:36. | :11:46. | |
you are about to come out that one person will receive its better than | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
others, and for me it was my mum. You just came out and said, didn't | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
you? I am gay. And then all of a sudden I breathed a huge sigh of | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
relief, is that it?! Is that it? Is that all? Sam is still Sam, | :12:01. | :12:08. | |
regardless. She is still my girl. You never really appreciate how much | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
you need your parents. When you have one that stays there for you, that | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
is what my mum was, that is why she is awesome. | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
By the time I was 15 and a half, I was having meetings in the careers | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
of this with the army, and I eventually went in the army at 16 | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
and nine months. I felt as if there was something he was not telling me | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
about. When he came in, I made coffee and said, sit, we are going | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
to have a conversation now. What is the big secret? He looked me | :12:44. | :12:51. | |
straight in the face and said, you are not going to like this. And he | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
said to me, I am gay. Coming out to Mum, I found it more difficult as a | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
challenge than coming out to the boys in the army. Them two words | :13:02. | :13:10. | |
took life away from me, expecting to have a daughter-in-law, children, | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
grandchildren, a whole family. It just disappeared in an instant. He | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
obviously could see that I was very upset, and he sort of stud up and | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
said, right, I am going now, I need to go out. Can I have a hug please. | :13:27. | :13:37. | |
I'd put my hand up and said lead me. She took it like that, and I thought | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
it was really bad. When she didn't give me a hug, I thought, right, OK. | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
I was going out to meet Tom. I knew instantly that if you walked out, if | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
he had gone just then, we were going to lose something very, very special | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
between us. And I called him, stopped him, and I said, can you | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
give me a hug? When she called me back, I think in the back of my mind | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
there was light at the end of the tunnel. The reception was in the | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
barracks, the barracks I had come out in. This is when it was illegal | :14:11. | :14:17. | |
to be gay there. The whole regiment supported it, we have such a good | :14:18. | :14:23. | |
day. She is going to settle down, hopefully we will have a wedding to | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
go to. It brought us closer together, it made my life a thousand | :14:28. | :14:33. | |
times better. I thought, if people reject Chris, then I won't be | :14:34. | :14:35. | |
friends with them anymore either. Thank you to everybody who told | :14:36. | :14:49. | |
their stories, and you said you knew James. You know first-hand how | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
difficult it can be for the older members of the family. I do not know | :14:55. | :15:03. | |
if it is generational. Alice's parents died, and the father was 92, | :15:04. | :15:10. | |
93, and his mother was a live wire, in her mid-80s. I do not think it is | :15:11. | :15:17. | |
an age thing. Sometimes it is an imbued sense of shame, that this is | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
something that parents can feel embarrassed on behalf of their | :15:22. | :15:24. | |
children because they feel ashamed. The great thing about not feeling | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
ashamed is that you have the freedom to really enjoy love as should be | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
enjoyed, and that is with all of your friends and family, being able | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
to talk about it at work, or not if you don't want it, because some | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
people don't like talking about any issues. As a society we have come a | :15:40. | :15:46. | |
long way in accepting same-sex relationships, compared to the 1950s | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
when people were being put in jail. Bell, ten years ago it was still | :15:52. | :15:58. | |
illegal to be gay in the armed forces -- well. You had restrictions | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
on what teachers could say in schools. And some teachers think | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
they have to hide their sexuality. Do you come far enough? Mandrea | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
equal marriage is a really exciting development, and I think that is | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
affirmation of couples being the same as everybody else. I think that | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
is wonderful and joyful, and there will be some good parties. Amazing | :16:24. | :16:30. | |
parties. There has been some controversy over Russian laws which | :16:31. | :16:33. | |
were anti-gay. Was there a point where you thought you would not go? | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
To be honest, it's awfully easy to stay at home. I am not short of | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
work, so I wouldn't be idle but I think it's very important. I believe | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
in equality and freedom and I believe in the right for people to | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
do the job they do without fear of prejudice or recrimination, on any | :16:53. | :16:58. | |
basis, whether it is race, religion or sexuality. Save me to go to | :16:59. | :17:00. | |
Russia, a country that doesn't believe that hasn't got their dash | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
for me to go to Russia, a country that is believed that and hasn't got | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
there, for me to be out, proud, I am happy, and I'm doing my job, I think | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
that is a stronger statement made to make than to stay here. If I stay | :17:16. | :17:22. | |
here, no one in Russia notice. It is a protest in itself. President | :17:23. | :17:30. | |
Obama, picking people like Billie Jean King, that is in trying to make | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
the same statement. The way we can change the world, and there are lots | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
of ways to do it, boycotts can work, but you all need to do it, and it's | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
not about one individual, certainly not about one gay present an | :17:45. | :17:51. | |
ongoing. When are you going? Sunday, and I have unpacked yet. -- I have | :17:52. | :17:58. | |
not packed yet. It's the warmest winter there ever. I am presenting | :17:59. | :18:05. | |
from 8pm until midnight, so I think it will be quite cold them. I will | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
be outside. You know I like to be outside. Anyway, let's get some | :18:12. | :18:18. | |
statistics. Let's talk about team GB. I am glad you have done that, | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
because there is a danger of getting distracted by other issues are not | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
focusing on the sport. I love winter sport in these athletes have worked | :18:27. | :18:32. | |
really hard and we have a chance of a record Olympic medal haul, 1929, | :18:33. | :18:40. | |
four medals. Here is your fact of the day. Did you know, Great Britain | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
has never won a winter Olympic medal on snow? It's all been ice-skating, | :18:46. | :18:54. | |
curling, four-man bob. Do you think we can get one on snow? Yes, I think | :18:55. | :19:00. | |
there are new sport is coming in, it's widely termed as slope style, | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
but it is skis and boards and we have young athletes who are great at | :19:06. | :19:12. | |
it. James words for example -- James Woods. Look at this, that is James. | :19:13. | :19:19. | |
And they are good. They will have outside chances, because with | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
particular sports it's down to the charge you have on the day, how you | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
get the jobs. You never know, with James words, I would do that. If I | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
was young man, I would do that James words. Matthew, it's not too late. | :19:35. | :19:42. | |
The other thing, James and Katie did not learn on snow, they did it in an | :19:43. | :19:48. | |
indoor village in Sheffield. They were known as the French kids, | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
because they train in fridges as opposed to the real outside -- | :19:53. | :20:00. | |
French -- refrigerator kids. You think back to Salt Lake City when | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
Rhona Martin won the curling medal and people stayed up till 11pm. I | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
was doing that in the studio in London, and we won the gold medal, | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
and I imagined everybody gabbing round doing that, and you do get | :20:14. | :20:22. | |
really involved. The best thing for the Winter Olympics is the curling | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
team in Norway. We were talking about this. Have you seen the | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
outfit? It's like the Eurovision Song contest. That is brilliant. I | :20:30. | :20:36. | |
am voting for them based on outfit. And you can see the whole thing on | :20:37. | :20:45. | |
tablet, mobile, all the rest. BBC Two is the Winter Olympics channel, | :20:46. | :20:48. | |
and there are highlights from 7pm until 8pm. And across the red | :20:49. | :20:55. | |

Just a quick one, the two biggest chances the gold medals would be | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
skied -- speed skating and Lizzie yarn all in the skeleton. -- Lizzie | :21:07. | :21:08. | |
Yarnold. Our very own action man Andy Torbet | :21:09. | :21:17. | |
has been trying to conquer nature in a dish used quality. The one Show | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
has found something lurking in Wales that has never climbed, a vertical | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
rock face made a smooth, slippery slate. Snowdonia, wild, snowcapped | :21:26. | :21:33. | |
mountains, shaped by millions of years of geological turmoil. The | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
area is bubbly most famous for Slate, quarried here for decades -- | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
probably most. This is Vivian Quarry, a magnet for climbers, who | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
come here to pick their skills against the new -- unique challenge | :21:49. | :21:54. | |
of climbing on vertical slate. And I am on the very edge of my climbing | :21:55. | :22:02. | |
abilities. I have climbed most rock types, but never on slate. Vivian | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
Quarry is amongst the most sought-after slate climbing in the | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
UK, characterised by vertical slabs of smooth and slippery roots. | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
Climbers exploit the cracks that form for the hands and footholds, | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
but with recent rain leaving the slabs wet, we expect today's climb | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
to be a baptism of fire. Today's route rises from a lake, but sheer | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
face. I have been nervous about leading the client, but Lucy | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
creamer, one of the best in Britain is going up first. How is it | :22:38. | :22:45. | |
different from other sorts of rock? It is not much friction, but it's a | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
unique feeling to climb on a slippery Rock, so your work has to | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
be precise. You cannot just get away with calling up your arms. That is | :22:54. | :23:01. | |
my main form of climbing -- my main form. Immediately I can see that | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
this is going to need concentration. Lucy has to climb the first five | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
metres free, meaning if she falls, she will hit the ground. There is no | :23:11. | :23:17. | |
fixed rope to catch her. Yes, this is pretty damp. Please watch me. | :23:18. | :23:25. | |
This is pretty wet, because slight -- slate is so slippery. The other | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
major challenges an overhang, which Lucy has reached. She makes getting | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
past it look easy. For me, it is the part of the client that I fear the | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
most. Well, that is Lucy at the top without much problem is -- the | :23:43. | :23:44. | |
climb. Here we go. I am attached to Lucy's top rope and | :23:45. | :23:56. | |
she is anchored securely. If I fall, I will be saved, but my pride would | :23:57. | :23:59. | |
be injured. Tiny, tiny handholds. Keep looking | :24:00. | :24:12. | |
with the little dishes for footholds. There is no friction in | :24:13. | :24:19. | |
the climb at all. You hang on with your fingernails. The base of the | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
slab is littered with broken sections of slate. The stability of | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
the rock face is a concern. That is a bit loose. As the last climber, | :24:29. | :24:37. | |
it's my job to remove the hard way that Lucy put in place to protect | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
us. The metal wedges are jammed in and ropes will save her from a fall | :24:44. | :24:50. | |
-- remove the hardware. Feeling the rock with your hands and feet is a | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
technique you need, so the chilly temperature today makes climbing | :24:55. | :25:01. | |
tougher. This rock is called, isn't it? Yes, but it does warm up. | :25:02. | :25:07. | |
I am almost there. Just the overhang to negotiate. | :25:08. | :25:20. | |
It is a bit more of an amateur clamber than a technical triumph, | :25:21. | :25:27. | |
but I am over it, and I have reached the top of the climb. That was | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
awesome. Thanks for that. That was good fun. I enjoyed it. That was | :25:32. | :25:37. | |
hard, enough to feel an accomplishment, but not a nightmare. | :25:38. | :25:45. | |
The first little bit was hard, but I enjoy that. Turpin places, the rock | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
is so smooth and has no friction and the cracks are thin -- in places. | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
The satisfaction and achievement of getting here, and just look at that | :25:56. | :25:56. | |
view. A lovely view, but would you want to | :25:57. | :26:07. | |
do it to get there? Oh, well, I wouldn't mind. Yes, you are like | :26:08. | :26:13. | |
Spiderman. And on that note we will now quiz you, Claire. -- Clare. We | :26:14. | :26:20. | |
know you pride yourself on sporting knowledge. I am suddenly thinking, | :26:21. | :26:29. | |
somebody won a bronze and it was taken away from him, so we have won | :26:30. | :26:35. | |
a medal on snow. Here is your belated birthday present which you | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
can open if you get it right. But look at this, Clare. We have a set | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
of Russian dolls and you will love this. One is quite familiar. Is that | :26:44. | :26:54. | |
my chin? It is you, everything. That is my body? Thanks, Matt. No, you | :26:55. | :27:01. | |
are looking great. And when you answer a question, we will open it | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
to reveal the next one. Let's have the first one. Ready, Clare? This | :27:06. | :27:11. | |
year 's Winter Olympics is said to have been the most expensive games | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
ever but how much are they estimated to have cost? 31 billion, 41 | :27:17. | :27:25. | |
billion, or 51 billion? They were meant to cost 7 billion, but I don't | :27:26. | :27:28. | |
think they have gone over as much as 41, so I think 31. Letters open up | :27:29. | :27:35. | |
your slim and healthy body. There is Vladimir Putin. Yes, it was 31, well | :27:36. | :27:44. | |
done. Next question. Drug testing was introduced at the Winter | :27:45. | :27:48. | |
Olympics in 1968. But which substance did the first Olympic | :27:49. | :27:55. | |
athlete ever to be disqualified test positive for? Was it, adrafinil, | :27:56. | :28:01. | |
alcohol or amphetamine? What year was it? Like it will make a | :28:02. | :28:07. | |
difference. It was probably alcohol. You've had some last night. We want | :28:08. | :28:15. | |
to go to Sochi, and he is holding a pint of beer. It was alcohol! Third | :28:16. | :28:21. | |
question, a Welsh figure skater is set to make his Olympic debut at | :28:22. | :28:25. | |
Sochi, but which country will he represent? Great Britain, France, or | :28:26. | :28:31. | |
Norway? Obviously not Great Britain because it must be more difficult | :28:32. | :28:36. | |
than that. We will have to hurry you. France. Let's have a look. | :28:37. | :28:43. | |
Let's have a look at those skates. It is! You can take that with you. | :28:44. | :28:51. | |
That is it. We are done. Thank you so much. Get packing, because that's | :28:52. | :28:56. | |
all we have time for to night. Thank you, Clare. Clare will host the | :28:57. | :29:04. | |
opening ceremony on Friday. We will see you tomorrow when we have Peter | :29:05. | :29:08. | |
Jones from | :29:09. | :29:12. |
