0:00:23 > 0:00:26It's a "what were you thinking" hello to big Paddy from Renfrew
0:00:26 > 0:00:28who couldn't resist a go on his kids' snowy trampoline.
0:00:28 > 0:00:39LAUGHTER Hallow to these villages who went into action when the
0:00:39 > 0:00:46council failed to turn up. True gritters all of them.Despair from
0:00:46 > 0:00:53Dorset have invented snow canoeing! And hello to Rachel's grandad John
0:00:53 > 0:01:08whose secretly loving it! We haven't seen you since you've had your new
0:01:08 > 0:01:14arrival, congratulations. How is it going?It's great. My wife is doing
0:01:14 > 0:01:18incredibly well. He's a new blessing to the family and do you mind us
0:01:18 > 0:01:28giving a birthday shout out? It is Portia's Mum's birthday tomorrow, my
0:01:28 > 0:01:36mum's birthday today.APPLAUSE Our guests have made it through the
0:01:36 > 0:01:46blizzard.
0:01:56 > 0:02:01How are you enjoying the weather? I'm over it.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Tom, you were a scaffolder before becoming a comedian,
0:02:03 > 0:02:09so you must have worked in some extreme weather conditions?
0:02:10 > 0:02:17I hated the job!LAUGHTER When the comedy started kicking off I
0:02:17 > 0:02:22thought, do I want to be a scaffold or do I want to be on TV? In this
0:02:22 > 0:02:29weather it was horrible. I used to do some mad jobs to get off working
0:02:29 > 0:02:39on a building site.RSPB?Yes, I worked for the RSPB.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Vicky, you were once sacked from a job because you
0:02:42 > 0:02:44refused to get a tan.
0:02:44 > 0:02:49I worked in a tanning shop and they were really pale, get on the beds
0:02:49 > 0:02:54and I was like, I'm not doing it. What really annoyed me was people
0:02:54 > 0:02:59would come out and go, it's hot in there!LAUGHTER It's going to be
0:02:59 > 0:03:06hot.Glad you found out early.I wasn't there for long.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10We'll be talking to you about your latest project "Action Team" later.
0:03:10 > 0:03:17And UB40 will be warming up with their new single before we head off
0:03:17 > 0:03:22home tonight.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25home tonight.MUSIC
0:03:25 > 0:03:28All week we've been hearing from BBC reporters on the latest
0:03:28 > 0:03:29on the snow and ice.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32At the end of the week we're changing that around a bit
0:03:32 > 0:03:35and asking people on the receiving end of the weather to report for us.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Let's start with the Buckle family from Barrass in Cumbria have been
0:03:38 > 0:03:41snowed in on their family farm, the gas has run out and the firewood
0:03:41 > 0:03:46is under 12 feet of snow.
0:03:46 > 0:03:51They opened their front door to this! Unbelievable!
0:03:51 > 0:03:57How's things today?
0:03:57 > 0:04:03Still frosty?Yes, frosty but better than yesterday! Yesterday was the
0:04:03 > 0:04:11worst day we've seen for 30 years on our farm. Unbelievable.It looks
0:04:11 > 0:04:16very pretty, it looks like you're living in Narnia. But in all
0:04:16 > 0:04:21seriousness you have a farm that has to keep going. How has that been
0:04:21 > 0:04:27going? Keeping it operational must be a huge challenge in this whether.
0:04:27 > 0:04:40Yes, it was a very big challenge. We have 100 cattle and 150 sheep. My
0:04:40 > 0:04:47three kids had to walk down. I thought, if I went I might not get
0:04:47 > 0:04:54back.Matthew it looked like he was surrounded with snow. How did you
0:04:54 > 0:05:03get out?! Or have you?!It took a while to get anywhere, rarely.It's
0:05:03 > 0:05:16Friday night, hot bodies all round. -- hot toddies. All round.You live
0:05:16 > 0:05:26on a farm, is it like that?I feel a bit like Cameron Diaz in The
0:05:26 > 0:05:31Holiday!LAUGHTER Proper farmers don't pose for Instagram pictures!
0:05:31 > 0:05:40It's a good look on you.
0:05:40 > 0:05:45It's a good look on you.Next we go to Nicolas. Tell us what you were
0:05:45 > 0:05:49doing yesterday at 4am.We were very busy last night and all this morning
0:05:49 > 0:05:59as well. We ferried critical staff into the hospital in Newry. I want
0:05:59 > 0:06:02to thank the Chris Gard and the hospital management and staff for
0:06:02 > 0:06:11their cooperation. -- I want to thank the Coast Guard.Presumably
0:06:11 > 0:06:17one of the hardest shifts you've ever had.We average about 40 per
0:06:17 > 0:06:22year and they are very busy and arduous jobs. This was extreme, the
0:06:22 > 0:06:28weather conditions were really very unusual for this part of the world.
0:06:28 > 0:06:35We had to pull out the stops. We got up into very remote areas and it
0:06:35 > 0:06:42stretched the team.No doubt your help and the others has been
0:06:42 > 0:06:45critical to the hospitals. Thank you for being with us tonight.Thank
0:06:45 > 0:06:48you.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Not only have the emergency services, mountain rescue
0:06:50 > 0:06:53and military personnel been working round the clock over the last few
0:06:53 > 0:06:56days but countless people have given up their time to help friends,
0:06:56 > 0:06:57neighbours and complete strangers.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Thank you so much for what you have done.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03If your pipes have burst or your boiler broken down though
0:07:03 > 0:07:06there is only one person you really, really want to see on your doorstep.
0:07:06 > 0:07:14From Cardiff, here's Dan.
0:07:14 > 0:07:20It's early morning and Cardiff lies under a thick blanket of fresh snow.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23It looks like most people have heeded the red weather warning and
0:07:23 > 0:07:28the streets are deserted, but some people have to go out to help the
0:07:28 > 0:07:37rest of us. When it's -4 outside and your boiler packs in...Have you
0:07:37 > 0:07:40located the reset button?These are the people you want coming to your
0:07:40 > 0:07:45rescue. The roads are almost impossible but I'm in a four by four
0:07:45 > 0:07:49with engineer Ricky Morris on our way to help an 80-year-old lady with
0:07:49 > 0:07:56no heating and no hot water.Some people are panicking because they
0:07:56 > 0:07:59are facing the prospect of no heating and hot water especially of
0:07:59 > 0:08:02the weekend is coming up. They are usually quite thankful to see
0:08:02 > 0:08:13someone turn up. Good morning.Are you OK?Yes. The boiler started to
0:08:13 > 0:08:19make a rattling noise and I thought it was going to explode, so I was a
0:08:19 > 0:08:23bit worried.Ricky quick to diagnose is the problem and it's all too
0:08:23 > 0:08:29common in freezing weather.That's the noise of the water backing up
0:08:29 > 0:08:34inside the boiler which is suggesting the pipe is blocked.You
0:08:34 > 0:08:43can do this by ear?Yes.You're like a piano tuner! LAUGHTERBoiler
0:08:43 > 0:08:50whisperer.Ricky can't get to the frozen pipe so he diverts it into a
0:08:50 > 0:08:55bucket underneath her boiler.You get so used to having a heated house
0:08:55 > 0:09:01that when it's cold, by God it's cold. I got the electric blanket
0:09:01 > 0:09:08out, put that on.Like the old days! Yes!We are going to turn the boiler
0:09:08 > 0:09:15on and fingers crossed it fires up. Has he got the boiler working again?
0:09:15 > 0:09:23It's working.Fantastic. How does it feel?Wonderful! Perhaps I can get
0:09:23 > 0:09:26warm, because I'm frozen.With the weather worsening we had our next
0:09:26 > 0:09:36cool. -- our next call. A widower with a very cold dog. Henry has been
0:09:36 > 0:09:41without heating and hot water since the early hours of the morning.I
0:09:41 > 0:09:49just felt like jumping into bed! What are you hearing apart from the
0:09:49 > 0:09:53dock?Nothing at the moment. It sounds like it's trying to fire. A
0:09:53 > 0:09:57gurgling sound is a giveaway that the pipe is blocked.This is the
0:09:57 > 0:10:04offending pipe.There's going to be a solid block of ice in there.The
0:10:04 > 0:10:11solution? A kettle hot water to melt the ice in the condensate pipe.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15Hopefully we will hear a roaring sound. The cattle seems to have done
0:10:15 > 0:10:19the trick so we'll run the hot tap and see what happens.Fantastic,
0:10:19 > 0:10:25let's give it a go. Is that a relief?Thank you so much. I was so
0:10:25 > 0:10:30glad to see this man at the door because I was getting really cold.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34Ricky and the boys have already come to the rescue of some very cold
0:10:34 > 0:10:39pensioners. With the weather like it is, they are in for a lot of long
0:10:39 > 0:10:40shifts this weekend.
0:10:40 > 0:10:41Boiler engineers - we salute you!
0:10:41 > 0:10:49Ben Rich joins us again tonight - are we over the worst?
0:10:49 > 0:10:55Again!LAUGHTERThere's a dent in the sofa!Ben Rich is having the
0:10:55 > 0:11:02time of his life! He's on the one show every day. You've built this up
0:11:02 > 0:11:07something awful. To be fair it has come to fruition it turns out.The
0:11:07 > 0:11:12first thing you asked me on Tuesday was is it going to live up to the
0:11:12 > 0:11:19hype? I think we can probably agree. We weren't sure... It turns out you
0:11:19 > 0:11:28were right. Are we over the worst? Sort of. We've got 50 centimetres of
0:11:28 > 0:11:33snow near Cardiff, about 40 centimetres near Glasgow. If you
0:11:33 > 0:11:37watch this chart, we start to bring the winds in from a southerly
0:11:37 > 0:11:41direction and the colours are subtly changing. They aren't as blue as
0:11:41 > 0:11:46they have been so the air is going to get a bit less cold. No more
0:11:46 > 0:11:50Beast from the East. All of that snow is going to take a very long
0:11:50 > 0:11:57time to melt. Even when it does, it could give us some flooding.When it
0:11:57 > 0:12:02is spring coming?! LAUGHTERI want to know. To be honest, next week
0:12:02 > 0:12:06it's still pretty chilly. Beyond that we may have to wait a little
0:12:06 > 0:12:13while.The beast is a fluffy pussycat now. Tom, you know all
0:12:13 > 0:12:21about burst pipes.Our pipes in the house we were going to buy burst. It
0:12:21 > 0:12:26destroyed the house, really. Now we're renting a farmhouse which is
0:12:26 > 0:12:34great.Every cloud!Now I'm an amazing farmer!LAUGHTERAnother
0:12:34 > 0:12:40string I wanted to my bow was farming!Vicky, we have a picture of
0:12:40 > 0:12:44you yesterday dressed for the weather. It turns out not that
0:12:44 > 0:12:48extreme. It was the coldest day on record or something like that.I had
0:12:48 > 0:12:57the moles on everywhere. I was feeling quite good about things --
0:12:57 > 0:13:03thermals on everywhere.We are going to have a full forecast from Ben at
0:13:03 > 0:13:08the end of the show, thank you for the teaser and the update.Let's
0:13:08 > 0:13:10continue our snow patrol.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Someone who ended up sleeping on a train last night
0:13:12 > 0:13:19after getting stranded is Nicky.
0:13:19 > 0:13:26That is one way to use that apparatus! Hello? Good to see that
0:13:26 > 0:13:32your home!It's nice to be home. Tell us what it was like. 15 hours
0:13:32 > 0:13:37you were stuck on board that train? Most of the people were stuck for 14
0:13:37 > 0:13:42hours but we were lucky enough to get off after ten hours. We had been
0:13:42 > 0:13:48to an exhibition and we knew the weather was bad, but we got on the
0:13:48 > 0:13:54train at about 5pm and headed towards Southampton. We got to
0:13:54 > 0:13:58Brockenhurst and the train came to a halt. We could have waited a bit
0:13:58 > 0:14:02longer. After two hours we realised the train wasn't moving. Nobody knew
0:14:02 > 0:14:09what was happening. Then all of a sudden the lights went off and we
0:14:09 > 0:14:14lost all power and heating. The drivers were trying their best but
0:14:14 > 0:14:18we try to keep everyone in good spirits. One girl had gloves on her
0:14:18 > 0:14:27toes.LAUGHTERIt was getting quite cold there.You can see the cold in
0:14:27 > 0:14:33the faces of that picture.How many times did the buffet cart, round?
0:14:33 > 0:14:40LAUGHTERZero is the answer! Unfortunately. There was nothing
0:14:40 > 0:14:45open around and all the hotels were booked. The only thing we had was a
0:14:45 > 0:14:51vending machine. We stocked up on water and some guys had Kit Kat is.
0:14:51 > 0:14:58We all shared.It's a good story. I'm glad your home safe and thank
0:14:58 > 0:15:03you for joining us tonight.Thank you, take care.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Sunday night is Oscar night, and among all the hype
0:15:05 > 0:15:08about Three Billboards, The Shape of Water and The Darkest
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Hour is a British film about a four-year-old deaf girl
0:15:10 > 0:15:12which has been nominated for Best Short Film.
0:15:12 > 0:15:13It's called The Silent Child.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15And to get our own insight into that world here's
0:15:15 > 0:15:20a remarkable lad called Reuben.
0:15:21 > 0:15:22MUSIC
0:15:22 > 0:15:27My name is Reuben and I'm 13 years old.
0:15:27 > 0:15:32I was born deaf. I'm just like another teenager. I like sport,
0:15:32 > 0:15:43technology and cars. I go to the same school as my sister. She's not
0:15:43 > 0:15:52deaf but she signs. This is my mum. Tomato sauce?Pasta and tomato
0:15:52 > 0:15:56sauce, please.Reuben has been very insistent about being in a
0:15:56 > 0:16:02mainstream school.Interacting with hearing children has been very
0:16:02 > 0:16:07important to me, learning how to communicate and work with them in
0:16:07 > 0:16:12the future.He is determined to have the same opportunities as any other
0:16:12 > 0:16:16teenager. He makes it more difficult for himself because he's facing
0:16:16 > 0:16:19everyday challenges that your average teenager doesn't have to put
0:16:19 > 0:16:29themselves through.My first lesson today is one of my favourites, PE.
0:16:31 > 0:16:36This lady is employed by the school to help me understand what's going
0:16:36 > 0:16:43on in the classes by signing what is being said. It's quite difficult for
0:16:43 > 0:16:48her because she can't hear everything that the group are all
0:16:48 > 0:16:54saying because they are all talking over each other. But I'm very lucky
0:16:54 > 0:16:57as most deaf kids don't have this kind of support in a mainstream
0:16:57 > 0:17:03school.It definitely keeps me fit. You have to run around in your
0:17:03 > 0:17:12boots. Next time bring proper footwear!I'll learn one day. Reuben
0:17:12 > 0:17:15is a very intelligent child. He's very independent and he can pick up
0:17:15 > 0:17:22a lot of his own accord. But he does need the support in the lessons.
0:17:22 > 0:17:27When I'm not in class, I want to be able to chat with my friends like
0:17:27 > 0:17:34everyone else. When I first started at the school it was hard to get
0:17:34 > 0:17:42involved, so I started -- I decided to do something about it. I felt
0:17:42 > 0:17:47quite lonely at break time. I thought why not set up British sign
0:17:47 > 0:17:54language club? I can talk to people in my language.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00I said that I am teaching them.You do not expect that from a year a
0:18:00 > 0:18:09pupil.
0:18:09 > 0:18:16pupil.I now teach around 20 people, that means, how to sign.
0:18:16 > 0:18:21that means, how to sign.I have never met such a child with such
0:18:21 > 0:18:26determinations. Generally, we don't do a lot. It is fantastic. And they
0:18:26 > 0:18:33are all keen.And it Reuben is a really good teacher. And he is
0:18:33 > 0:18:40really supportive.I used to see Reuben but I was never able to talk
0:18:40 > 0:18:46to him.He came to the school is the only deaf child and he is flying so
0:18:46 > 0:18:52high. Such an achievement.Today, the one show is helping me connect
0:18:52 > 0:18:58with even more people at my school. They have organised a screaming or
0:18:58 > 0:19:02-- a screening of the Oscar-nominated film, The Silent
0:19:02 > 0:19:16Child about a four-year-old deaf girl called Libby. The film is quite
0:19:16 > 0:19:19similar to me because she felt lonely and she couldn't open the
0:19:19 > 0:19:24barrier to communicate. I think it will help my friends understand what
0:19:24 > 0:19:34it is like to be in school, well you shouldn't be left out, you should be
0:19:34 > 0:19:41a normal person. You should be in group discussions. Not to be left
0:19:41 > 0:19:49alone, or sad. The film seem to have had a positive effect on everyone.
0:19:49 > 0:19:56We are seeing a different side of Reuben's life.It is important to
0:19:56 > 0:19:59talk to him because he might be upset and lonely sometimes and if he
0:19:59 > 0:20:07has no one to talk to, it might get worse.The signing looks really cool
0:20:07 > 0:20:19and feels really cool, as well.I hope that the film will let me try
0:20:19 > 0:20:21and help the group out.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Reuben, Maisie and Mum are here with Russ,
0:20:24 > 0:20:29Reuben's interpreter.
0:20:29 > 0:20:34You must be so proud of your boy. Having gone to the school is the
0:20:34 > 0:20:38only deaf child, and he is now teaching British sign language to a
0:20:38 > 0:20:44big class at lunchtime. That is incredible, isn't it?Amazing to
0:20:44 > 0:20:51think of what he is achieving, to be the only deaf child, to have no
0:20:51 > 0:20:54communication around him and, for him to take the onus upon himself to
0:20:54 > 0:20:58teach people to be able to sign, it is a massive achievement for any
0:20:58 > 0:21:0613-year-old boy.Give this guy a round of applause.
0:21:06 > 0:21:13APPLAUSE Because, to go out of your way, and
0:21:13 > 0:21:17in your lunch break, to be teaching all of these kids. Were you
0:21:17 > 0:21:25surprised that some of your friends wanted to come and join you?
0:21:25 > 0:21:28wanted to come and join you?When I told my friends, they were all quite
0:21:28 > 0:21:32excited about it.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37excited about it. It is the anniversary this Tuesday. About ten
0:21:37 > 0:21:41people on the first sign language club and now it has grown up to 20
0:21:41 > 0:21:47people coming to the club. So it is really the people who come to the
0:21:47 > 0:21:53club. They make the club. So thanks to all the people who come to the
0:21:53 > 0:22:00club.Congratulations on the first year. What an achievement. Anyone
0:22:00 > 0:22:06watching that film would agree that you are a completely natural
0:22:06 > 0:22:09teacher. You looked so at ease in front of the class. Is that what you
0:22:09 > 0:22:15want to do when older?I don't want to be a teacher, because I've done
0:22:15 > 0:22:23it already!Been there, done that, and got the T-shirt!I would like to
0:22:23 > 0:22:34be an aeroplane engineer in the future. How did you start it? Will,
0:22:34 > 0:22:40you can watch the same thing, but at the very start and at the very end,
0:22:40 > 0:22:49also, there are lots of people I know who work at Rolls-Royce, so it
0:22:49 > 0:22:56makes me feel excited, and that I have a perfect dream in the future.
0:22:56 > 0:23:03Well, you will be a valuable asset to the engineering world.Whatever
0:23:03 > 0:23:17you do, buddy, you're going to fly, absolutely. Thank you.
0:23:18 > 0:23:26Let's look at your new show, Action Team. It will leave I was shaken and
0:23:26 > 0:23:32stirred.
0:23:32 > 0:23:37stirred.Logan, what you think? I think that you got 15 minutes to get
0:23:37 > 0:23:43in and out of there I spend another 7 euros parking.Let's take this
0:23:43 > 0:23:51out, Action Team style.What took you so long?I'm sorry. I was
0:23:51 > 0:23:59waiting for a toasty.We have never seen anybody walk away from an
0:23:59 > 0:24:07explosion and be that cool. You were born to be Bond, Don.People said
0:24:07 > 0:24:11from the age of 13 that I would be a great Bond villain, which is not a
0:24:11 > 0:24:17great thing to delicate.I wanted to be a suave, secret agent, so I sort
0:24:17 > 0:24:25of did it myself. A lot of it was just my own ego.This looks like an
0:24:25 > 0:24:41amazing show. Essentially, you and the team...It is silly. It is kind
0:24:41 > 0:24:47of like Bourne. It is fun, it is a bit of escapism for half an hour,
0:24:47 > 0:24:50just to be surreal and mess around, it is like messing around with your
0:24:50 > 0:24:57mates, to be there.It reminded me of The Naked Gun.That is one of our
0:24:57 > 0:25:04favourite shows.You have made it, then, well done. Vicki, your
0:25:04 > 0:25:10character can be summed up with one letter.That was kind of the idea.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14Then we start to have a bit of fun and I don't think that you can
0:25:14 > 0:25:19compare the two. He has become quite an evil character.We have seen you
0:25:19 > 0:25:24playing lots of brilliant rolls over the last couple of years. You have
0:25:24 > 0:25:29been in Line Of Duty, The Replacement, which I felt was
0:25:29 > 0:25:34absolutely fantastic. This is very difficult, although as Stern are
0:25:34 > 0:25:43some of those characters, but was see a lot more fun to play?She was.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46We thought we would improvise and go again and do something completely
0:25:46 > 0:25:50different. Take it a little bit too far, and that is what made it fun.
0:25:50 > 0:26:01But you do not see Rhys smiling a lot. He was, like, you are going to
0:26:01 > 0:26:08have to get it together.You're using all the money putting the show
0:26:08 > 0:26:13together, having too much one.It was hilarious, so it hard.And you
0:26:13 > 0:26:19do suffer for your art.Yes, I do all of my own stunts. Like any Bond
0:26:19 > 0:26:25would.If I ever meet Tom Cruise I can say I know what it was like to
0:26:25 > 0:26:29go on a train at 80 mph through Bulgaria on a train. The guys put
0:26:29 > 0:26:36the strap on me and I was, like, will it be safe, they were saying,
0:26:36 > 0:26:41we will find out when the train goes. Their health and safety laws
0:26:41 > 0:26:46are not the same as over here! I broke a couple of minutes, turning.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50I turned really quickly, and something cracked. -- I broke a
0:26:50 > 0:27:00couple of my ribs.I am so gullible. He is always winding up. I said to
0:27:00 > 0:27:05Vicki that we were going to be filming in Greece. Until the last
0:27:05 > 0:27:09day of filming and then I was, like, argue looking forward to Greece? And
0:27:09 > 0:27:14then we didn't go. This is the first time we have spoken about it.We
0:27:14 > 0:27:20will get you to Greece eventually. And, Tom, the last thing we saw you
0:27:20 > 0:27:25in was Paddington two. Excellent film. But it is fair to say that
0:27:25 > 0:27:33this is not for the same audience.I would not let the kids stay up and
0:27:33 > 0:27:38watch this. Until they are a little bit older. Both a lot of fun to do.
0:27:38 > 0:27:43They will enjoy it when they are older, yes.Thank you, guys, we
0:27:43 > 0:27:50cannot wait to see. It is on ITV2 at 10pm on Monday.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53We'll be talking more to Vicky and Tom in a moment after we've
0:27:53 > 0:27:56heard from our hard-working history man Dan who's been weighing up
0:27:56 > 0:27:57conflicting theories behind a natural disaster.
0:27:57 > 0:28:05All we really know for sure is that it started....with ice.
0:28:06 > 0:28:12On April nine, 1912, the day before the maiden voyage of the Titanic,
0:28:12 > 0:28:17the second officer of the ship David Blair was signed off the crew and
0:28:17 > 0:28:23scent of the ship. In his pocket was the key to a locked box on board
0:28:23 > 0:28:26containing a pair of binoculars. Some say that this was the key that
0:28:26 > 0:28:32sank the Titanic.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35sank the Titanic. Ten years ago, that he sold at auction for £90,000.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38But can it really have been responsible for the most famous
0:28:38 > 0:28:46shipwreck in history? The fate of the Titanic and the 1500 who
0:28:46 > 0:28:49perished when it struck an iceberg still fascinates history
0:28:49 > 0:28:55researchers. I'm meeting writer Gareth Rubin at Southampton docks.
0:28:55 > 0:29:01David Blair was taken off the ship because they wanted to put on
0:29:01 > 0:29:04someone more experienced and either got to hand over one thing, the key
0:29:04 > 0:29:09to his locker which contained the binoculars. So you had the men in
0:29:09 > 0:29:11the crows nest as the Luke Gallows, but they did not have their
0:29:11 > 0:29:15binoculars.Can we be sure that they would have spotted the iceberg
0:29:15 > 0:29:20sooner?We can rely on the word of one of the Luke Gallows in the crows
0:29:20 > 0:29:23nest at that point. He was asked in the New York inquiry into the
0:29:23 > 0:29:26shipping disaster what would have had if he'd had the binoculars and
0:29:26 > 0:29:30he said, we could have seen this a bit sooner. How much sooner? Well,
0:29:30 > 0:29:36enough to get out of the way. Blair's oversight is frequently
0:29:36 > 0:29:40blamed for the tragedy of that night. But would the binoculars make
0:29:40 > 0:29:47up such a difference?One Titanic expert believes that the ship was
0:29:47 > 0:29:53the victim of a rare Mirage.This is the classic mirage. You would think,
0:29:53 > 0:29:57I will go over there and fill up my water bottle. Your brain makes you
0:29:57 > 0:30:03think that it is water but in fact it is this guy on the ground.Hot
0:30:03 > 0:30:06desert air bends light from the sky in a way that makes it appear like
0:30:06 > 0:30:12in the ground. He believes that the opposite was happening in the cold
0:30:12 > 0:30:18north Atlantic on the night the Titanic sank.The service is very
0:30:18 > 0:30:21cold, not hot like the desert and that makes things that would
0:30:21 > 0:30:24normally be hidden below the horizon, it has the effect of
0:30:24 > 0:30:28raising them up so that you can actually see them, you are seeing
0:30:28 > 0:30:34around the curvature of the Earth. You are blowing my mind. The effect
0:30:34 > 0:30:38is a bonus strip of false horizon above the real horizon which might
0:30:38 > 0:30:43just have camouflaged the iceberg. We will try to see how it happens
0:30:43 > 0:30:51using a beam of laser like in different densities of water
0:30:51 > 0:30:55representing colder and will more or less dense air. This is the cold
0:30:55 > 0:31:00air, that is next to the Atlantic Ocean and that is the warmer air
0:31:00 > 0:31:04above it.That is actually right down. I am going to turn the laser
0:31:04 > 0:31:09on, are you ready? As we will ever be. That is the normally reflecting
0:31:09 > 0:31:12air, with the light travelling in a straight line through it. You are
0:31:12 > 0:31:18now moving it down towards the cold air by the seed's Circus. As it gets
0:31:18 > 0:31:24into the more dense air, -- this seat 's circus. You can see bending
0:31:24 > 0:31:31now. I never thought that it would bend that much.That is a serious
0:31:31 > 0:31:37bent. Tim is convinced that the horizon affected by this like
0:31:37 > 0:31:43bending crucially affected the Titanic even at night. That Hayes is
0:31:43 > 0:31:46what affect the contrast and means that they see the iceberg a few
0:31:46 > 0:31:49seconds later than they otherwise would have done. Would it have made
0:31:49 > 0:31:54a difference if the Luke Gallows had had binoculars?They would have to
0:31:54 > 0:31:57ring the bell as soon as they saw anything they picked up with the
0:31:57 > 0:32:01naked eye. Not getting the binoculars out and wasting time,
0:32:01 > 0:32:08that was the job of the officer.But for Gareth, the story of the missing
0:32:08 > 0:32:18binoculars is testament to our taste for mythologising trepanning. Over
0:32:18 > 0:32:22100 years on it is hard to pin the fate of the Titanic to either human
0:32:22 > 0:32:28error or natural phenomenon. What is more likely is a vast sea of
0:32:28 > 0:32:32coinciding factors. What we do know is that the myths surrounding the
0:32:32 > 0:32:35Titanic will continue to fascinate writers and scientists for many
0:32:35 > 0:32:40years to come.
0:32:42 > 0:32:47If you lived on the same street as done in the snow he would definitely
0:32:47 > 0:32:53clear your driveway with a spade! He's very handy. You know Belfast
0:32:53 > 0:33:03very well because Line of Duty has been filmed there. When can we see
0:33:03 > 0:33:12this back on the TV?He put on Twitter the other day that he
0:33:12 > 0:33:20writing it and that's all I know. Jed, if you're watching, we need
0:33:20 > 0:33:26more details! Next year?I film it this year, towards the end of the
0:33:26 > 0:33:37year. We can't go and any later than 2019.Tom, Murder in Successville.
0:33:37 > 0:33:44The rate and star in it. It's like a mock murder investigation. It's a
0:33:44 > 0:33:52lot of fun. My agent wouldn't allow me to do it! LAUGHTER
0:33:52 > 0:33:56me to do it! LAUGHTER Ask me again! I'll do it as soon as you ask!
0:33:56 > 0:34:05LAUGHTER Who is the most surprising guest you've had on it?
0:34:05 > 0:34:08guest you've had on it?Deborah Meaden. She was incredible. We
0:34:08 > 0:34:14wanted to do a spoof and she came along and said I want to solve this
0:34:14 > 0:34:18case. I was messing around and playing about and she was literally
0:34:18 > 0:34:24like... If you watch it you can see slowly she loses her mind with me.
0:34:24 > 0:34:30She was like, I don't see why you find this so funny! I love her to
0:34:30 > 0:34:35pieces. She was literally, I think two of my favourite days in the
0:34:35 > 0:34:42business was with Deborah.It must be an amazing series to film to have
0:34:42 > 0:34:45these different celebrities come in and interpreted in different ways.
0:34:45 > 0:34:53But hard for them to keep a straight face when DI Sleet is dressed as a
0:34:53 > 0:34:57drag queen.What you want to do is try and throw people and get them so
0:34:57 > 0:35:02they are a bit uncomfortable. I thought let's get him dressed up in
0:35:02 > 0:35:08drag and see what happens. He literally came in and he was wearing
0:35:08 > 0:35:14this dress and heels and he was loving it. He was like, this is so
0:35:14 > 0:35:20cool.He really got into it!You didn't force him to put the pink
0:35:20 > 0:35:26lipstick on either!LAUGHTER It's been a pleasure to have you boast on
0:35:26 > 0:35:31the sofa. Thank you for popping in. Safe journey home and we look
0:35:31 > 0:35:40forward to Action Team. Plenty more to come including UB40 playing for
0:35:40 > 0:35:47us later.Now an update on what's going on out there with the BBC's
0:35:47 > 0:35:50Joe Campbell from just outside Winchester. Bring us up to date
0:35:50 > 0:35:59please.The snow is heavy on the ground. We've just had some sleet.
0:35:59 > 0:36:04Look down there, that's the M3. Normally that would be nose to tail
0:36:04 > 0:36:08with commuters heading home. Also people heading to their second homes
0:36:08 > 0:36:12in the new Forest. Frankly people have been staying off the raids and
0:36:12 > 0:36:18it's been quiet all day after those huge jams we saw last night. The
0:36:18 > 0:36:21trains you are talking about earlier on as well. It looks as though
0:36:21 > 0:36:26people have heeded the warnings. In Wiltshire Police have said to people
0:36:26 > 0:36:30don't go outdoors unless you have too. It's not just the roads that
0:36:30 > 0:36:35have been quiet although they have been working with gritters. At one
0:36:35 > 0:36:42stage it got down to just one lane here at on the M3. Normally on a
0:36:42 > 0:36:45Friday it would be full of people out getting their food in for the
0:36:45 > 0:36:48weekend at the supermarket. They've just not come out tonight and
0:36:48 > 0:36:52neither have many of the staff. As a result certain parts of the
0:36:52 > 0:36:58supermarket have had to close down. There's no pitches, no delicatessen
0:36:58 > 0:37:04and most crucially they haven't got enough people to keep the hot food
0:37:04 > 0:37:11counter open -- there's no butchery counter.
0:37:13 > 0:37:18We are now heading to the Vale of Glamorgan to speak to Sian Lloyd.
0:37:18 > 0:37:23Normally this road would be extremely busy. Many people use it
0:37:23 > 0:37:27to get to the airport but this county recorded the highest level of
0:37:27 > 0:37:32snowfall anywhere in the UK last night. It's led to this huge
0:37:32 > 0:37:38drifting. There's a car under here, would you believe it. It's actually
0:37:38 > 0:37:42frozen. Earlier today three people had to be dug out of eight car in a
0:37:42 > 0:37:47similar drift not too far away after an SOS was put out. Local people
0:37:47 > 0:37:51came to help. There has been a rescue operation going on down the
0:37:51 > 0:37:57lane behind me. Our four by four was able to pull somebody out from here
0:37:57 > 0:38:02earlier as well. The roads across Wales are treacherous. Many of them
0:38:02 > 0:38:07have been closed, the M4 and the main arterial roads very difficult
0:38:07 > 0:38:10for people to get through. South Wales Police have said they've had
0:38:10 > 0:38:15to deal with an awful lot of weather-related incidents. Lots of
0:38:15 > 0:38:19people's travel plans have been thrown out of the window because
0:38:19 > 0:38:24public transport has been cut back. We note tonight we've got a Yellow
0:38:24 > 0:38:32Warning for ice. It's bitterly cold out here and there is probably more
0:38:32 > 0:38:36disruption to come.Thank you, Sian.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39If you're travelling over the weekend, Carrie is here with us
0:38:39 > 0:38:43with updates on all things planes, trains and automobiles.
0:38:43 > 0:38:48I wish I could bring you some good news. Network Rail, we spoke to them
0:38:48 > 0:38:53today and they said the situation is bad. Every operator is affected.
0:38:53 > 0:38:57It's widespread disruption. Make sure that you have a look on Network
0:38:57 > 0:39:01Rail before you leave home. With flights, Cardiff airport is
0:39:01 > 0:39:06currently shot. We've got Edinburgh, Glasgow, East Midlands and Bristol
0:39:06 > 0:39:10now open but all the airports are saying there's going to be delays
0:39:10 > 0:39:14and cancellations. Check with the poor before you leave home. If your
0:39:14 > 0:39:19flight is cancelled you need to contact your airline.People might
0:39:19 > 0:39:24have thought it would have got better at this point.You're right.
0:39:24 > 0:39:29Edmund was here talking about the roads last night. We got in contact
0:39:29 > 0:39:35with him today and he said the biggest problem now is ice and black
0:39:35 > 0:39:42ice. We heard about a 40 car pile-up in Devon today on the A38. Some of
0:39:42 > 0:39:46the back roads are more treacherous. The most important thing is to
0:39:46 > 0:39:49research your route before you leave home. Listen to the BBC local news,
0:39:49 > 0:39:55they always have the notices of where the roads are shot. Make sure
0:39:55 > 0:39:57you've got petrol, all your essential supplies like water,
0:39:57 > 0:40:09blankets and food.And a flask.Yes. Kit Kats like Nikki said!LAUGHTER
0:40:09 > 0:40:15Weekend plans are disrupted, aren't they?Gigs and stuff.Elbow
0:40:15 > 0:40:20cancelled their gig at Glasgow tomorrow night. They've postponed to
0:40:20 > 0:40:24Monday.
0:40:26 > 0:40:31Monday. Stereophonics did their gig but they've had to put a tweet up
0:40:31 > 0:40:35saying for all those fans who, we'll be doing something for you. We don't
0:40:35 > 0:40:41know what exactly but keep your eyes peeled. Football.Sport is going on.
0:40:41 > 0:40:45Premier League games going ahead. They are more worried about the
0:40:45 > 0:40:51trouble than the game itself. West Ham have got to get to Swansea. The
0:40:51 > 0:40:57Scottish ski and board Cross has been cancelled. Who would have
0:40:57 > 0:41:01thought?Winter sports can't handle the winter!To win truth of the
0:41:01 > 0:41:07winter sports!Down in Devon and Cornwall we've got people skiing in
0:41:07 > 0:41:13the street!That is hysterical.More Winter Olympic medals being one as
0:41:13 > 0:41:19we speak!Thank you. Safe travel.
0:41:20 > 0:41:24Forgive us if you are sick of the stuff but we have a beautiful film
0:41:24 > 0:41:29from Richard Taylor Jones.
0:41:29 > 0:41:34Snow transforms any landscape it touches. Its arrival even has an
0:41:34 > 0:41:41effect on some of the UK's hardiest snow living specialists such as the
0:41:41 > 0:41:45mountain hare and Ptarmigan who respond to its arrival by turning
0:41:45 > 0:41:48from some brown to winter white for camouflage. The Scottish Highlands
0:41:48 > 0:41:54are one of the few places guaranteed snow in the winter. It impacts on
0:41:54 > 0:41:58everything here yet there's more to snow than first meets the eye. It's
0:41:58 > 0:42:02easy to forget in this vast snow-covered landscape that this
0:42:02 > 0:42:09stuff is actually made up of tiny individual and unique snowflakes
0:42:09 > 0:42:16that started their lives high up in the clouds. Each flake starts as a
0:42:16 > 0:42:20super cooled water droplet. As it evaporates it turns into freezing
0:42:20 > 0:42:26water vapour. When that vapour meets a tiny dust or pollen particles it
0:42:26 > 0:42:30begins to crystallise into a snowflake. As it falls it continues
0:42:30 > 0:42:35to grow and as each flake encounters different atmospheric conditions, no
0:42:35 > 0:42:40two snowflakes are alike. However, snowflakes, in types and the first
0:42:40 > 0:42:50person to try and classify them was a Japanese scientist in 1954. He
0:42:50 > 0:42:53identified seven major groups of snowflakes which subdivided into 41
0:42:53 > 0:43:01different types. I want to take a closer look at the snow in the
0:43:01 > 0:43:08Highlands. A few weeks ago I came across an amazing blog by a Russian
0:43:08 > 0:43:14photographer who, by using an inexpensive camera and old lens,
0:43:14 > 0:43:19takes spectacular snowflake images. I want to do the same. It's not much
0:43:19 > 0:43:23of a looker but I hope that once I put my version of her camera
0:43:23 > 0:43:28together I'll get those beautiful and intricate shots of snowflakes
0:43:28 > 0:43:37that I am after. How does it work? It's rather simple. If you take a
0:43:37 > 0:43:40normal camera lens and turn it around, it becomes a magnifying
0:43:40 > 0:43:47glass. If you zoom in on the magnified image, you magnify the
0:43:47 > 0:43:52magnification. So with the camera set up I'm ready to shoot. I'm going
0:43:52 > 0:43:56to dab the glove around in this fresh snow, try and pick up some
0:43:56 > 0:44:04snowflakes on the wool. The conditions in the Scottish Highlands
0:44:04 > 0:44:10are far from ideal. I've got to be honest. Just trying to find a nice
0:44:10 > 0:44:15individual snowflake is a bit of a challenge. I do finally managed to
0:44:15 > 0:44:20get some photographs, proving the technique works for me. But the
0:44:20 > 0:44:25flakes are nowhere near as clean as I'd like. But as my time in the
0:44:25 > 0:44:28Highlands comes to an end, I've really got the bug and desperately
0:44:28 > 0:44:34want to get some better photos. As luck would have it, a couple of
0:44:34 > 0:44:39weeks later I get my chance. I've come on a family holiday to Lapland,
0:44:39 > 0:44:43and of course how could I not bring with me the snowflake camera? I
0:44:43 > 0:44:50can't think of a better place than this to start improving my shots.
0:44:50 > 0:44:54The snow conditions for me are much better than they were in Scotland,
0:44:54 > 0:45:04and it shows in my photographs.
0:45:08 > 0:45:12In the end, perseverance and the right kind of snow really pays off.
0:45:12 > 0:45:18You know what? I'm actually getting quite close. I've got it technically
0:45:18 > 0:45:23sussed. I just needed better snowflakes. Still, I'm really happy
0:45:23 > 0:45:27that I've used some really simple equipment to get some really complex
0:45:27 > 0:45:33images of snowflakes.
0:45:33 > 0:45:39We've had loads of pictures in.This one is almost as good as Richard's.
0:45:39 > 0:45:49This one is from a snowstorm in West Yorkshire. It looks like jewellery.
0:45:49 > 0:45:56Laura from North Devon says there is still plenty of beauty around. Look
0:45:56 > 0:46:03at those icicles.Talking obsessed honours, look at this one from the
0:46:03 > 0:46:11Isle of Bute. That is absolutely stunning.And the snow in Poldark
0:46:11 > 0:46:17country from Karen. That's stunning.
0:46:21 > 0:46:27Our snow experts Helen Scerzny and Mike Dilger have joined us.
0:46:27 > 0:46:32We had so many questions for you so we had to bring you back.So much to
0:46:32 > 0:46:38know about snow and ice!That's why we are an hour today! Nick has asked
0:46:38 > 0:46:43is the grit we put on the roads salt and how does it not the snow?Once
0:46:43 > 0:46:48you've got a salty road waterfalls onto it. When it mixes with the salt
0:46:48 > 0:46:52you've got salty water. That has a lower freezing temperature and if
0:46:52 > 0:46:55it's not cold enough to get down to that temperature you've just got
0:46:55 > 0:47:03liquid salty water instead of ice. John is hoping you can explain the
0:47:03 > 0:47:08phenomenon that is freezing rain.
0:47:10 > 0:47:14In very rare atmospheric conditions you get rain that is liquid as it
0:47:14 > 0:47:18comes down and then it falls through cold air, and then it becomes colder
0:47:18 > 0:47:20than the freezing temperature but because there's nothing for it to
0:47:20 > 0:47:25stick to, it can't freeze, so you have supercooled water that is below
0:47:25 > 0:47:29zero.As soon as it hits the windscreen of the side of your house
0:47:29 > 0:47:33the whole thing freezes instantly. So it is not frozen on the way down
0:47:33 > 0:47:40but as soon as it touches...Even when you're driving it just feels
0:47:40 > 0:47:45really cold.On the side of your face. It is awful, isn't it? Jack
0:47:45 > 0:47:51was to know the science behind black ice.Allsorts of interesting stuff.
0:47:51 > 0:47:56Some people just use it for ice that you can't see on the roads but it
0:47:56 > 0:48:02has a technical definition. The road on a small scale as bumpy with a lot
0:48:02 > 0:48:06of these shapes, and the water doesn't fill the top of the B shape,
0:48:06 > 0:48:11you stand on top of the point of it, but if that ice freezes, it expands
0:48:11 > 0:48:16and points upwards. Then, when you stand on if you are standing on ice.
0:48:16 > 0:48:19Like when you have ice cubes in the tray and utility up, then you have
0:48:19 > 0:48:23little bumps, then you're walking on those little bumps, and that is what
0:48:23 > 0:48:30Black ice is, but it is almost transparent and you can't see it.We
0:48:30 > 0:48:36are all sitting here as if everything 's normal, but Mike is
0:48:36 > 0:48:43dressed as a rapper.I'm dressed as a naturalist who has been filming
0:48:43 > 0:48:53slurry wildlife. I have been filming in the Yorkshire words. We have been
0:48:53 > 0:48:57filming Winter Wildlife sitting in the snow with barn owls at night,
0:48:57 > 0:49:03and how do you film those hares in snow, you have to dress yourself
0:49:03 > 0:49:10like this. I cannot tell you how cold it was. Minus six. The others
0:49:10 > 0:49:20in that picture were perfectly white. When a long white out, you
0:49:20 > 0:49:27run, then they can't see you in the snow. I got 30 metres from a brown
0:49:27 > 0:49:32hare, and I was dressed like an idiot but it was worth it for the
0:49:32 > 0:49:39pictures.Who are the wildlife winners and losers at this time of
0:49:39 > 0:49:45year?It is pretty tough and can cope with most things, but any
0:49:45 > 0:49:49frogspawn that has been put into ponds already if it freezes a lot
0:49:49 > 0:49:53the embryos might die. Birds will struggle if the weather continues to
0:49:53 > 0:49:59stay below freezing at the moment. It is right at the end of the
0:49:59 > 0:50:04freezing season -- feeding season, they are coming into gardens, they
0:50:04 > 0:50:08are very hungry, the birds become so tame they are super hungry. Things
0:50:08 > 0:50:15like barn owls, they are hunting at night, they cannot find little voles
0:50:15 > 0:50:20running under the snow, so they could struggle if the snow stays.
0:50:20 > 0:50:24And the winners... The polar bears. In the Yorkshire wildlife Park, they
0:50:24 > 0:50:31are having the time of their lives right now. This is just ridiculous.
0:50:31 > 0:50:36He's thinking, this is the tropics! And things like the Penguins in
0:50:36 > 0:50:46Edinburgh Zoo, having a great time. Ali G, we're going to say thank you
0:50:46 > 0:50:53very much. That work is flying off the shelves all over again.Helen,
0:50:53 > 0:50:59thank you for coming in, your programme, From A Stiff Wire is on
0:50:59 > 0:51:04the BBC iPlayer right now. -- from ice to fire.
0:51:04 > 0:51:07Now the latest in our series in which people return
0:51:07 > 0:51:08to the street they grew up in.
0:51:08 > 0:51:11Tonight, Hairy Biker Si King.
0:51:11 > 0:51:15My name is Si King and you will know me as the Geordie heart of the Hairy
0:51:15 > 0:51:20Bikers. Today I want to reveal the little lad behind the beard, and a
0:51:20 > 0:51:26place that made them.
0:51:26 > 0:51:29place that made them. This is Birtle near Gateshead and this is where I
0:51:29 > 0:51:32grew up from the age of four. I haven't been back for years and I
0:51:32 > 0:51:43wonder if it has changed me. That is very odd.Your mum was a remarkable
0:51:43 > 0:51:47lady. She was incredibly bright and intelligent. She wanted to be a
0:51:47 > 0:51:56nurse.But my grandma insisted that she stayed in the house. To help
0:51:56 > 0:52:04with the men. And my dad, he was in the Royal Navy, on the Russian
0:52:04 > 0:52:09convoys in the Second World War, then he travelled the world as part
0:52:09 > 0:52:11of the merchant service, brought back some fantastic ingredients that
0:52:11 > 0:52:16we started to cook with, even in the 50s. It was remarkable. That was
0:52:16 > 0:52:25where my love of food was born. Now I am back in our cold kitchen to
0:52:25 > 0:52:30cook a childhood favourite from my mum was my crispy. This is one of
0:52:30 > 0:52:34her recipes. She was a fantastic cook on a budget. But there was
0:52:34 > 0:52:39always a twist. She adored spices. We've spent quite a lot of time
0:52:39 > 0:52:49together in the kitchen. It was our way of connecting.
0:52:49 > 0:52:55way of connecting. Oh, that takes me back. What a privilege to come and
0:52:55 > 0:53:00cooking this kitchen again. But some memories are painful. My dad had
0:53:00 > 0:53:03been on dialysis for a couple of years when he was rushed to hospital
0:53:03 > 0:53:10for a double kidney transplant. I was stood in the kitchen. And my mum
0:53:10 > 0:53:15was sat down and my sister was there. And they said that your dad
0:53:15 > 0:53:22has passed away. His body had rejected the kidneys because the
0:53:22 > 0:53:26drugs then were not as sophisticated. And that was a big
0:53:26 > 0:53:34loss. We were really tight family unit, you know? Yes. There were some
0:53:34 > 0:53:37real happy times, actually. It was great being brought up here, but
0:53:37 > 0:53:42there were some sad things as well. But that is what makes a house. That
0:53:42 > 0:53:48is what makes the spirit of the house, isn't it? After my dad died
0:53:48 > 0:53:51mum and I consoled ourselves and comfort eating and by the time I was
0:53:51 > 0:53:54eight years old I was eight stone. So you can imagine life at school
0:53:54 > 0:54:01was not much fun. I was a bit of a fat lad. In any school environment
0:54:01 > 0:54:04if you had a little point of difference you got picked on. My mum
0:54:04 > 0:54:07and I thought we should pull ourselves together and we should
0:54:07 > 0:54:12govern a diet. By the time I go to secondary school I was a lot
0:54:12 > 0:54:16thinner. Besides food, music was a big passion of mine and at 18 I
0:54:16 > 0:54:22joined a band as a drummer. Today I'm meeting up with an old friend
0:54:22 > 0:54:29and band-mate, Kevin, to talk about those old days.
0:54:30 > 0:54:32those old days.Yes, I remember the ripped jeans you used to always have
0:54:32 > 0:54:45one.I always thought that it would work, but it didn't, really. Shall
0:54:45 > 0:54:57we have a jam for old times sake?I think we should.
0:54:57 > 0:54:59think we should.The band didn't exactly pay the bills so after
0:54:59 > 0:55:04having a baby with my girlfriend I knuckled down on a media course at
0:55:04 > 0:55:07the local tech college. One day on the wall of the tech I noticed an
0:55:07 > 0:55:14advertising for a new children's drama series and they wanted
0:55:14 > 0:55:18runners, and I got the job and it turned out to be here, Byker Grove.
0:55:18 > 0:55:23Who would have thought it? Working behind Byker Grove was the start of
0:55:23 > 0:55:26a film and TV career that would eventually take me around the world
0:55:26 > 0:55:34with my mate Dave, as a Hairy Biker. But no matter where I roam, I will
0:55:34 > 0:55:46always be a Geordie boy, at heart. That was a lovely film.
0:55:46 > 0:55:48That was a lovely film.Ben is backed the weekend forecast. Hit me
0:55:48 > 0:55:53with it.If you're in the Midlands, Wales or Northern Ireland you can
0:55:53 > 0:55:58expect a bit more snow tonight. A bit of a top up. It will be
0:55:58 > 0:56:00increasingly like an patchy. That rain you can see coming into
0:56:00 > 0:56:00increasingly like an patchy. That rain you can see coming into the
0:56:00 > 0:56:05South West, that to be freezing rain. Temperatures will be around
0:56:05 > 0:56:09freezing. There could be ice wherever you are across the country.
0:56:09 > 0:56:14The weekend is turning slowly, slowly less cold. Still some wintry
0:56:14 > 0:56:16showers, issue of rain, sleet and snow, but not
0:56:16 > 0:56:17showers, issue of rain, sleet and snow, but not as cold as it has
0:56:17 > 0:56:25been. We're back on Monday. And now from their album paddle gets labour
0:56:25 > 0:56:38of love, UB40 with She Loves Me Now.
0:56:39 > 0:56:42# She loves me now
0:56:42 > 0:56:48# And that just means I can't complain
0:56:48 > 0:56:49# She loves me now
0:56:49 > 0:56:57# And I must admit I feel the same
0:56:58 > 0:57:00# Listen now
0:57:00 > 0:57:06# Early one Sunday morning
0:57:06 > 0:57:10# As I took up my paper and decided to read
0:57:10 > 0:57:16# The phone rang with a little voice saying
0:57:16 > 0:57:21# "You might not remember me but I had one dance with you
0:57:21 > 0:57:25# And ever since the night we met, I must tell you true
0:57:25 > 0:57:32# You danced into my life, drove me out of my mind
0:57:32 > 0:57:40# Now between and me and my man it's all over"
0:57:41 > 0:57:43# "I just want us now to get closer"
0:57:43 > 0:57:45# She loves me now
0:57:45 > 0:57:51# That just means I can't complain
0:57:51 > 0:57:54# She loves me now
0:57:56 > 0:58:03# And I must admit I feel the same
0:58:04 > 0:58:11# I knew something special would have to come out
0:58:11 > 0:58:16# Cos the way with the woman there was no doubt
0:58:16 > 0:58:20# We would have to see each other and it would not be long
0:58:20 > 0:58:24# Before we'd hit it off with a love that's strong, strong, strong
0:58:24 > 0:58:28# And I know someone out there is hurt, but got to get it on
0:58:28 > 0:58:34# It's natural that we were meant for each other
0:58:34 > 0:58:40# If you run your life the way you dance
0:58:40 > 0:58:44# I'd be proud of that night I made my advance
0:58:44 > 0:58:53# She loves me now
0:58:53 > 0:58:56# And that just means I can't complain
0:58:56 > 0:59:04# She loves me now
0:59:07 > 0:59:17# And I must admit I feel the same.
0:59:17 > 0:59:24# Oh yeah
