:00:23. > :00:28.12 Halal, and welcome to The One Show. We are outside because this
:00:28. > :00:37.is our very first roadshow. We are here with the lovely people of
:00:37. > :00:42.Sheffield. They are real troupers. They've been incredible. It's been
:00:42. > :00:45.tipping it down at times today but the sun has come out for us. We've
:00:45. > :00:48.turned this Park into a gigantic festival, to give some of the
:00:48. > :00:52.viewers to get hands-on with the things we see in the studio every
:00:52. > :00:59.night. It's been leading up to tonight's very special programme.
:00:59. > :01:05.Yes. Angellica is attempting mass participation art. Or will it be
:01:06. > :01:08.good enough to hang in a real gallery? It will be revealed later.
:01:08. > :01:13.Christine's volunteer gardeners are helping to spread flower-power all
:01:13. > :01:18.across this lovely city. I'll be over shortly to give you a hand.
:01:18. > :01:22.For Carrie Grant has had one day to create a 100 strong choir good
:01:22. > :01:26.enough to sing live on BBC One later on. The a finished rehearsing
:01:26. > :01:31.before we came on air and it sounded pretty good. We've got
:01:31. > :01:36.history from Gyles science from Marty and this being The One Show,
:01:36. > :01:46.we brought along a very special guest. He is the curly-haired
:01:46. > :01:52.
:01:52. > :01:57.comedy cutie from QI. Please give a Have raised it down. We didn't
:01:57. > :02:02.bring our sulfur, but this will do. It's an incredible turnout, the sun
:02:02. > :02:08.has come out. I brought it with me. You have brought your wellies,
:02:08. > :02:14.which was a good move. Yes, it is a swamp around us. It's fine. Have
:02:14. > :02:19.you any connections with Sheffield? I did play in Sheffield in 1999. I
:02:19. > :02:22.once did a gig in Sheffield and next door there was wrestling
:02:22. > :02:28.happening. My favourite memory of Yorkshire is with an old girlfriend
:02:28. > :02:33.of mine at Pontefract racecourse, but we probably shouldn't go there!
:02:33. > :02:37.This being no ordinary show, we will get to rub in with all sorts
:02:37. > :02:42.of stuff. You've done a wonderful job with the straw around the
:02:42. > :02:46.outside. Considering we are in the middle of a field full of lovely
:02:46. > :02:49.tents, we thought it would be nice if you could give us your pictures
:02:49. > :02:54.of your camping experience over the summer. It has been a bit of a
:02:54. > :02:59.mixed bag with the weather. Any good camping memories? I camp when
:02:59. > :03:02.I was working at the Farnborough Air Show. I got woken up every
:03:02. > :03:09.morning by jets coming into land for the show. That is my camping
:03:09. > :03:13.memory, it was quite traumatic. that the end of your camping
:03:13. > :03:18.experience? After that I never come again, but I saw the Red Arrows
:03:18. > :03:21.every day. Before we show you what happens when The One Show comes to
:03:21. > :03:26.town, Anita, you are going to kick things off with a very memorable
:03:26. > :03:30.story. Have you have got in touch with the show to see if we could
:03:30. > :03:40.help track down any of her mother's long-lost relatives. We had no idea
:03:40. > :03:40.
:03:41. > :03:47.1931, the country was in the grip of the Great Depression. Jobs were
:03:47. > :03:51.scarce and people were going hungry. This building in Grimsby is now a
:03:51. > :03:56.hospital, but back in the 30s it used to be a workhouse and housed
:03:56. > :04:00.some of the poorest people in society. It was home to a woman
:04:00. > :04:09.named Evelyn and the Branson, who gave birth right here to a little
:04:09. > :04:17.girl she named Joyce. This is my birth certificate. I was born on
:04:17. > :04:24.21st May, 1931 in Grimsby. It was the workhouse. Yes. It also tells
:04:24. > :04:28.you your mother's name. Yes, even Branson. Why would your birth
:04:28. > :04:34.mother have been here? Because it would be the only place in Grimsby
:04:34. > :04:37.that would take on an unmarried mother. Joyce Gibbs is now 81 years
:04:37. > :04:41.old, but it was only in her 30s that she saw her birth certificate
:04:41. > :04:48.for the first time and discovered she was adopted. Prior to this she
:04:48. > :04:53.had no idea. Did it come as a shock to you? It did. Do you feel angry
:04:53. > :04:57.at your mum or giving you up? don't think I do really because
:04:57. > :05:00.probably I wouldn't have been as well off as I have been forced to
:05:00. > :05:05.maybe life would have been harder for us both. I often wonder where
:05:05. > :05:10.she went. Did she stay in Grimsby, did she see me growing up? I wonder
:05:10. > :05:14.if she has had any other children. You don't know, do you? Joyce has
:05:14. > :05:20.asked us to help us find out more about her family, so I am off to
:05:20. > :05:25.find out from professional people find it. I enlisted to help to
:05:26. > :05:29.search for relatives. Anybody in the public can do what I do, using
:05:29. > :05:32.records that are available online. But I often have to go to libraries
:05:32. > :05:37.and different record offices throughout the country. We know
:05:37. > :05:40.that Joyce was adopted, so how does that change things? It does make
:05:40. > :05:44.things more complicated. You can go to an adoption Support Agency for
:05:44. > :05:50.help. But because joys already had her original birth certificate,
:05:50. > :05:54.that gave us the mother's name. That is where I start. The first
:05:54. > :06:03.step was to look at entries in the birth index. That is the record of
:06:03. > :06:09.everyone born in the UK. I found one Fort Evelyn Branson. There is
:06:09. > :06:14.only one. It's for 1906. She used this information to track down her
:06:14. > :06:20.birth certificate and eventually found her on the 1911 census.
:06:20. > :06:25.she is. Aged five. Living at home with her mother. It is perfect
:06:25. > :06:28.information, and their brothers and sisters, too. Next up was an
:06:28. > :06:34.ancestry website, where it was found that someone has posted
:06:34. > :06:41.information about Evelyn's Barber, Joyce's grandfather, as part of a
:06:41. > :06:48.family tree. Papped contacted the woman online. Is she a living blood
:06:48. > :06:54.relative? The reply came back saying that Joyce's mother was also
:06:54. > :07:00.her grandmother. That means that this lady is a niece to Joyce. That
:07:00. > :07:05.is incredible. What is even more amazing is that the contact has an
:07:05. > :07:10.anti- June, who is still alive. She would be Joyce's sister. Incredibly,
:07:10. > :07:13.she lives in Grimsby. It is time to tell Joyce what we found out and
:07:13. > :07:20.show her for the first time a precious photo of her mum that her
:07:20. > :07:25.niece has given us. Oh, that's lovely. I think it's wonderful that
:07:25. > :07:31.I know I've got a photograph of her after all this time. She looks very
:07:31. > :07:38.happy, doesn't she? Of course, we've got even more to tell her. We
:07:38. > :07:46.know that she went on to have four other children. All of them died
:07:46. > :07:53.apart from one. Right. Her name is June. She was born two years after
:07:53. > :08:01.you. She lives writing in Grimsby. Amazing, isn't it? It is entirely
:08:01. > :08:05.up to you but if you'd like, we could go to June, tell her about
:08:05. > :08:10.you and then arrange a meeting between the two of you. If she
:08:10. > :08:16.wants to. If she wants to and if you want to. Yeah. Can I think
:08:16. > :08:23.about that? Of course you can. would like to think about it.
:08:23. > :08:32.your time. It is a wonderful thing to know. I've got a sister. And a
:08:32. > :08:36.picture of your mum. It's a lovely What a story! It's one thing going
:08:36. > :08:43.out and making films for the show, but delivering life change in use.
:08:43. > :08:47.It had such as huge impact on Joyce's life. It was incredible to
:08:47. > :08:50.break this news to her and tell her that we'd found a photograph of her
:08:50. > :08:56.mum. That was such as huge thing. Finally she was able to piece
:08:56. > :08:59.together a little more about who she is and her life. I obviously
:08:59. > :09:03.knew that she had a sister, so why have to hold that back. Then to
:09:03. > :09:13.tell her that she had his sister. I won't tell you what happens. That
:09:13. > :09:17.is coming up in a little while. It We can't wait to see part two. All
:09:17. > :09:24.day, members of different cake clubs and the WI have been bringing
:09:24. > :09:26.along their lovely creations do our along their lovely creations do our
:09:26. > :09:29.best show tent, to enter our cake competition. All of these look
:09:29. > :09:35.marvellous. The criteria was that the cakes had to have something to
:09:35. > :09:41.do with Sheffield, whether it is a person, and iconic landmark may be.
:09:41. > :09:46.Allen, you were a chef in the sitcom Whites, would you? I was.
:09:46. > :09:51.you are qualified to judge this competition. There is no one better.
:09:51. > :09:55.The what do you look for in a good cake, Alan? Chocolate, usually.
:09:55. > :10:01.in that case, I can see the winner from here. I've already picked it.
:10:01. > :10:08.Mind you, there might be chocolate in any of them. We have Vanessa
:10:08. > :10:17.here. What was your inspiration? have a crockery cafe. And as a
:10:17. > :10:23.cyclist, every good cycle ride ends at a cafe. It's a fruit cake.
:10:23. > :10:27.really love these teacups. Alan gasp when he saw this one. The yes,
:10:27. > :10:32.this is based on the fact that Sheffield is the greenest city in
:10:32. > :10:39.Europe. So many trees surround Sheffield, so that's why I decided
:10:39. > :10:45.to do that one. And we have our youngest Baker of the date. That
:10:45. > :10:51.looks fantastic. It inspired me because I like football and
:10:51. > :11:01.Sheffield United. That's a good reason. Do you belong to the
:11:01. > :11:01.
:11:01. > :11:09.chocolate one? This one. Beautiful again. You belong to the chocolate
:11:09. > :11:13.one. Yes. What does the chocolate ring mean? It's inspired by an old
:11:13. > :11:17.Sheffield landmark about four decades ago. It's been knocked down
:11:17. > :11:22.now but I thought it would be a good, easy cake to make. And you've
:11:22. > :11:27.got some lavender on yours. Yes. Mine is inspired by the Peak
:11:27. > :11:31.District. It uses local honey and lavender. It is inspired by the
:11:31. > :11:36.greenery of Sheffield. according to the Great British
:11:36. > :11:40.Bake-Off last night, lavender works well on cakes. I'm very impressed
:11:41. > :11:47.by the trees and intricate decoration, but it is Sheffield and
:11:47. > :11:51.you can't say no to the blades. Look at this wonderful cake. I
:11:51. > :12:01.picked this one as the winner. Congratulations to our youngest
:12:01. > :12:05.
:12:05. > :12:07.I would have gone for the Peak District one. The cake bakers of
:12:07. > :12:12.Sheffield have really done their thing. Later, will be finding out
:12:12. > :12:17.how our new choir are shaping up. This was them earlier on. They are
:12:17. > :12:22.sounding very good. Despite the rain, and we did have a massive
:12:22. > :12:32.deluge at about 1pm, people have been coming out in their droves. We
:12:32. > :12:38.
:12:38. > :12:41.have literally thousands of viewers. With over 2 million trees and 80
:12:41. > :12:51.public parks, Sheffield is one of the greenest cities in Europe. But
:12:51. > :12:56.
:12:56. > :13:01.there's no excuse to stopping Look at that. Local Sheffield. Some
:13:01. > :13:05.crops will do well, others will fail. It's just the nature of the
:13:05. > :13:09.season. Sheffield has one of the biggest professional art scenes in
:13:09. > :13:16.the country. Today, this happy bunch of amateurs are going to
:13:16. > :13:21.recreate a piece for one of the city's famous sons. It is my first
:13:21. > :13:30.time at art work. The last time I was about five years old with a
:13:30. > :13:36.paint brush and a paint pot. I've never painted before. Our favourite
:13:36. > :13:41.it has been the mud and the rain! My favourite thing has been
:13:42. > :13:45.decorating the cup cakes, but I do like the bikes as well. With local
:13:45. > :13:48.success stories such as Michael Vaughan and Jess Ennis, Sheffield
:13:48. > :13:58.has a fine sporting pedigree. But for those only just about ready to
:13:58. > :13:58.
:13:58. > :14:02.get off the couch, today has been a I thought it would be a bit of a
:14:02. > :14:06.laugh, my husband has had a go at all the different strength tests
:14:06. > :14:10.and flexibility tests because he's rubbish at things like that.
:14:10. > :14:15.incentive to get on and do a bit more fitness. Amazing things are
:14:15. > :14:22.happening in the history zone. We began back with the Iron Age tribes
:14:22. > :14:29.here. Come right up to date and we've got to the music of Sheffield
:14:29. > :14:39.in recent years. Tony Christie, he came from Sheffield, he gave us
:14:39. > :15:04.
:15:04. > :15:11.As you could see, there's been loads to do in Sheffield. Aland and
:15:11. > :15:15.I have raced around the fields. -- Alan. Angellica, you've been in
:15:15. > :15:21.charge of a huge masterpiece we are about to reveal. I will reveal it.
:15:22. > :15:28.The wonderful people of Sheffield have been recreating a masterpiece.
:15:28. > :15:35.Joseph MacIntyre was a Sheffield lad and it has been cut into 96
:15:35. > :15:45.canvas squares. I think we should reveal it. Are you ready? I'm ready.
:15:45. > :15:56.
:15:56. > :16:00.Absolutely fantastic. You can see this painting on display for a
:16:00. > :16:05.month at Weston Park Museum in Sheffield. Go along there to see it.
:16:05. > :16:10.What do you think? It is pretty good! Pretty good? It is brilliant.
:16:10. > :16:15.Some of the squares could do with another go. But generally amazing.
:16:15. > :16:21.Her the only dodgy thing was your unveiling of the painting. We will
:16:21. > :16:25.go to mat and Christine for some gardening. Indeed. We have got a
:16:25. > :16:31.massive screen here and it looks amazing, that art work. There are
:16:31. > :16:36.lot of gardening people here. Christine is in charge. Absolutely.
:16:36. > :16:40.I in supervising five local groups that up planting and they will take
:16:40. > :16:45.them home and look after them. We have got the scouts and the
:16:45. > :16:49.Brownies. Let's have a quick word. Will you get some kind of
:16:49. > :16:55.environmental badge for this? You don't know? What is your favourite
:16:55. > :17:02.plant? Probably this one. It will look nice in the autumn. That is
:17:02. > :17:07.the idea. For a will look beautiful all year round. A spectacular plant.
:17:07. > :17:13.Colour in the autumn. Pass the winter progresses, these dark,
:17:13. > :17:20.plants will look better. -- dark coloured plants. Every single one
:17:20. > :17:25.of these will look brilliant through the winter. Let's have a
:17:25. > :17:30.little wonder. You're doing very well, girls. Let's nip down here
:17:30. > :17:36.from the local squash club. We have a world champion here. Nick Matthew.
:17:36. > :17:40.You must be good at squashing them down! I'm better at squash...
:17:40. > :17:44.you arrange these? For five helped them arrange them and now they are
:17:44. > :17:51.planting them so they will look good. If you have never planted
:17:51. > :17:56.before, you can lose the plot very quickly. As a planting Guide,...
:17:56. > :18:03.Have you done a lot of planting before? No. You have to look after
:18:03. > :18:07.this plant. No. A break it to you gently! We will go all the way down
:18:07. > :18:11.to the very bottom, to the Children's Hospital charity. Is
:18:11. > :18:15.that where this is going to go? This is going to go in Weston Park,
:18:15. > :18:20.just in front of the Children's Hospital. You all work in the
:18:20. > :18:27.hospital. We do, I'm a doctor at the Children's Hospital. Her I'm an
:18:27. > :18:32.Executive PA. I'm a matron. Do you do a lot of gardening? Not at the
:18:32. > :18:40.hospital, I do have a garden. you all promised to look after
:18:40. > :18:44.these? Yes. We will be back later to see how they look. While this
:18:44. > :18:51.lot have been flowering the city, one artist is planning a sculpture
:18:51. > :18:55.that will tower over it. Alex Riley on a big man coming to town.
:18:55. > :19:00.Nothing said -- says you're approaching Sheffield like the
:19:00. > :19:05.cooling towers. But now they've gone, the area is said to be
:19:05. > :19:15.transformed by a new landmark. The huge piece of public art entitled
:19:15. > :19:20.
:19:20. > :19:24.Nice to meet you. I was expecting it to be bigger. This is only a
:19:24. > :19:28.model, about 30 centimetres. big will it be when it is on the
:19:28. > :19:34.site? He is sitting down, altogether it is about 30 metres
:19:34. > :19:38.tall. That is pretty high. What was the inspiration? Steel in Sheffield
:19:38. > :19:42.and Rotherham has such a reputation across the world. I thought
:19:42. > :19:48.something like this might be a good piece to represent people who
:19:48. > :19:53.worked in those industries. It is heavy! As both an art lover and a
:19:53. > :20:00.keen motorist, I'm excited about how the man of Steel will interact
:20:00. > :20:06.spatially with the M1 and the A361. You'll be able to view the art work
:20:06. > :20:10.at 70 mph on two different levels. That is what I call an art gallery!
:20:10. > :20:15.Anthony Gormley's the Angel of the North said the President for
:20:15. > :20:19.roadside viewing in 1998. Since then, communities across the UK
:20:19. > :20:25.have been falling over themselves to create something equally huge
:20:25. > :20:31.and deeply meaningful. Rise, symbolising a new chapter in
:20:31. > :20:39.Belfast's history, was constructed in 2011. Damien Hirst plans to

:20:54. > :20:56.is all off. When dream was conditioned -- commissioned on the
:20:56. > :21:01.M62 near St Helens, part of the proposal considered whether it
:21:01. > :21:05.would increase the number of road accidents. A reported 35 million
:21:05. > :21:12.vehicles pass by here every year. The main question about public art
:21:12. > :21:19.projects like this is whether they truly enriched our lives. How have
:21:19. > :21:24.the people of St Helens embrace this idea? A mixed reaction! We've
:21:24. > :21:29.had 64,000 visitors in one year from all over the world. Russia,
:21:29. > :21:34.China, America, New Zealand, Australia. They've come here. We
:21:34. > :21:38.would never have had that before. What we are hoping for, it will do
:21:38. > :21:42.for St Helens South what Angel of the North has done for Gateshead.
:21:42. > :21:48.It seems the more widespread roadside art becomes, the more
:21:48. > :21:55.challenging it is to catch the eye and interest of its mobile audience.
:21:55. > :22:02.It is going to be great! Are you a fan of La Joe Hart? I love the
:22:02. > :22:06.Angel of the North. It could have gone either way. But everybody in
:22:06. > :22:14.the north-east embraced it straight away and ditties usually loved.
:22:14. > :22:20.you call your wife Your Angel of the North? My wife? Anyway, you are
:22:20. > :22:26.back on the road. You have a tour coming up. It is called Life is
:22:26. > :22:30.Pain. The name of my show! Is it ironic as might I thought it was a
:22:31. > :22:34.good idea for a title and I saw that boaster and I thought this was
:22:34. > :22:39.a talk about suicide followed by an actual suicide. It is tongue-in-
:22:39. > :22:44.cheek. Life is Pain, of course, but it is also full of silly nonsense
:22:44. > :22:51.as well. I'm sure people will be shouting, why have they been 13
:22:51. > :22:55.years? Sheer laziness. I last did stand-up comedy in the 1990s and a
:22:55. > :22:59.slightly fell out of love with the motorways. Then I did some TV and
:22:59. > :23:04.then I met my wife and had children. For years have gone by and last
:23:04. > :23:09.year we went to Australia and did QI live in Australia in theatres.
:23:09. > :23:13.That gave us a shot in the arm for QI as well. I also did a stand-up
:23:14. > :23:18.tour and I just loved it. I thought I would do that when I got home.

:23:48. > :23:52.nervous. A few weeks ago, I did a charity night for the teenage

:23:59. > :24:05.do a spot there. Jimmy Carr was on before me letting off these huge
:24:05. > :24:09.comedic hand grenades. I thought, what am I doing? And once I was
:24:09. > :24:13.back on with the microphone, it felt great. I felt like I was back
:24:13. > :24:17.doing what I do. He said the best thing about stand-up is you don't
:24:17. > :24:22.have a boss, you can say what you like. You can't get cancelled after
:24:22. > :24:26.one series! Brilliant. Be it is up to you. You've wanted to do it
:24:26. > :24:31.since you were very little. Is it right that you write a sitcom at
:24:31. > :24:36.11? That is not right. I wrote quite an amusing novel which took
:24:36. > :24:39.up 21 pages of my exercise book when I was about eight. Brilliant.
:24:39. > :24:46.They ask us to write a story and one page was considered a good
:24:46. > :24:51.effort. I was a bit of a freak. I've always liked stories. Moving

:25:52. > :25:57.iron connection to the steel industry. That person is Ms
:25:57. > :26:02.Angellica Bell. Explain all! grandad has lived most of his life
:26:02. > :26:12.in Sheffield. He was a steelworker. We asked him to share some of his
:26:12. > :26:14.
:26:14. > :26:18.memories about working with a metal Steele. From skyscrapers to cutlery,
:26:18. > :26:25.it is one of mankind's most important materials and it has much
:26:25. > :26:29.-- made Sheffield world famous. The word Sheffield and steel have
:26:29. > :26:36.become permanently welded together in a story that began hundreds of
:26:36. > :26:40.years ago. References to knives from Sheffield date back to the
:26:40. > :26:45.14th century, with its combination of coal, iron ore and five rivers,
:26:45. > :26:48.it was an ideal site for steel production. 200 years ago, water
:26:48. > :26:56.wells like this were used to harness the power of Sheffield
:26:56. > :27:05.rivers. And drive rhinestones like this. It meant they could mass-
:27:05. > :27:11.produce steel blades and grind them Cover generations, cutting edge
:27:11. > :27:15.production techniques were developed here. My grandad was a
:27:15. > :27:21.steelworker for over 50 years. Hello! Since I was small, he's told
:27:21. > :27:27.me about life at the works. You've lived in and around Sheffield or
:27:27. > :27:32.your life. How has the city changed since you were lit young? In the
:27:32. > :27:37.1940s until the 1960s, you wouldn't have seen across this barely
:27:37. > :27:44.because there would be Jimmy's, the place would be bristling with
:27:44. > :27:50.Jamie's. -- H indies. A lot of people suffered with respiratory
:27:50. > :27:54.diseases. People were dying from these situations. On bad days, you
:27:54. > :27:59.could see so it in the atmosphere in your own home, in the room but
:27:59. > :28:06.your own home. No doubt about it, it was a dirty, unhealthy place and
:28:06. > :28:11.it was a hard place to live. 1913, Sheffield steel industry made
:28:11. > :28:14.a major breakthrough for top local lad Harry Brearley next exact
:28:14. > :28:19.announcer chromium with iron to make what he called rustlers steal.
:28:19. > :28:23.Now better known as stainless steel. My grandad worked on the very same
:28:23. > :28:32.site was stainless-steel was developed. When he started, it
:28:32. > :28:39.specialised in metal for submarines, ships and aeroplanes. I started
:28:39. > :28:45.work on April 1st, 1946. It was a completely alien land. The noise,
:28:45. > :28:49.the dirt, you could taste the sulphur in the atmosphere. You must
:28:49. > :28:55.have had loads of good memories, but were they are bad memories as
:28:55. > :29:01.well? There were bad memories and they were in the 1970s and 1980s.
:29:01. > :29:09.The steel industry was being decimated, all of us were in danger
:29:09. > :29:13.of losing our jobs. A so by the 1970s and 1980s, the rust had set
:29:13. > :29:18.in, with competition from abroad, the industry which had made
:29:18. > :29:23.Sheffield name fell into decline and factories closed. Sheffield
:29:23. > :29:26.Forge Masters, where my grandad worked, is one of the few survivors

:29:40. > :29:44.because we were struggling to make ends meet. They've got over the
:29:44. > :29:53.hump, they have invested in new equipment and people are looking
:29:53. > :29:57.Although the industry has now shrunk, Sheffield has still a major
:29:57. > :30:07.force in steel production. Times may have changed here but the

:30:27. > :30:33.lovely living piece of history in the lovely Kathleen. Kathleen
:30:33. > :30:37.Roberts is 90 years of age. You won not! She is living history. She is
:30:37. > :30:47.the first woman of Steel of Sheffield. That way, this woman
:30:47. > :30:49.
:30:49. > :30:56.helped us win the Second World War. Kathleen, what did you do? I worked
:30:56. > :31:02.in a rolling mill. Can you collaborate, what does that mean?
:31:02. > :31:10.was working on a strip rolling machine. It rolled seven inches
:31:10. > :31:16.wide. We rode the steel from being a sheet to the depth that we needed
:31:16. > :31:20.for whatever. We never knew what we were doing. These were blokes jobs.
:31:20. > :31:29.The men had gone off to war and the women were made to work here. What
:31:29. > :31:37.were you paid? I worked 72 hours a week, 12 hours nights and days. For
:31:37. > :31:42.my night week I got about �5.80. Were the men paid the same?
:31:42. > :31:47.they got more than we did. No one to the end of the war. Is it right
:31:47. > :31:53.that you were the first woman... this particular firm, yes.
:31:53. > :32:01.reaction did you get? I was sent for the crane driver's job. I knew
:32:01. > :32:06.I couldn't do it for heights! They had to keep me. Were the men
:32:06. > :32:13.welcoming? Not at all. The men really did not want to show as
:32:13. > :32:16.anything. They didn't think it was our place. The bombs were falling.
:32:16. > :32:24.This was the second world war, backs against the wall, bombs
:32:24. > :32:29.falling all around you. Yes. But eventually they softened a bit and
:32:29. > :32:36.were quite willing them to help us and show us. It was heavy work.
:32:36. > :32:41.Hard. Gyles, talking of heavy work, during the First World War there
:32:41. > :32:44.was an elegant involved. This is the Lyness of the Second World War.
:32:44. > :32:49.In the First World War in Sheffield, they literally brought an elephant
:32:49. > :32:56.in to help. Lizzie the elephant came, she was shifting Steele in
:32:56. > :33:02.Sheffield to help us win the First World War. Gyles, you arrived in
:33:02. > :33:08.style today in another piece of Sheffield steel. I arrive today in
:33:08. > :33:14.some style in this vehicle here. There I am. Alan, you are a fan of
:33:14. > :33:20.the classic car. You do look a bit like Toad from Toad Hall in this.
:33:20. > :33:26.thought I looked a bit like Terry- Thomas! That is a Sheffield Simplex,
:33:26. > :33:30.only three of them in the world. That amazing vehicle, 1920 it was
:33:30. > :33:34.built, Sheffield steel is what it was made of. It was the first car
:33:34. > :33:40.that had an engine motor. Before it was just a grand at the start of
:33:40. > :33:44.the car. Only three in the world. That one is owned by Earl
:33:44. > :33:50.Fitzwilliam. Now I am cruising around Sheffield in it, it's a very
:33:50. > :33:54.smooth ride. Thank you very much. There's going to be a statue of
:33:54. > :34:04.caffeine and her kind. The women of steel are going to be immortalised
:34:04. > :34:05.
:34:05. > :34:09.Earlier, we asked for all of your camping photos. Here we have Tom.
:34:09. > :34:14.He said, this is a picture of my brother eating a giant Yorkshire
:34:14. > :34:24.pudding whilst camping. Look at grandad one, doing what he does
:34:24. > :34:28.Gyles, you are getting ready because we've got this brilliant
:34:28. > :34:33.game. The butler and I have been working hard. You will understand
:34:33. > :34:37.why because cutlery and flat where may be involved. Have you been
:34:37. > :34:44.limbering up? I have been in training. You are up against Mike
:34:44. > :34:48.Dilger. He has been getting an inside track. This game requires
:34:48. > :34:56.excellent acceleration skills. To see how the animals do it, I put
:34:56. > :35:01.I've done some crazy things to experience what some animals can do.
:35:01. > :35:06.Running as fast as a head, or catching fish Lakhan Ospreys. But
:35:06. > :35:10.there are some animals that can stand a huge pall of gravity, known
:35:10. > :35:14.as G force. G-forces what you feel on a roller coaster when you are
:35:14. > :35:19.accelerating rapidly, slowing down dramatically or pulling out of that
:35:19. > :35:24.dive. It is the extra force of gravity pulling on your insides.
:35:24. > :35:28.For some animals that force is a way of life, big time. The
:35:28. > :35:33.peregrine falcon is the fastest animal on the planet, reaching
:35:33. > :35:41.around 200 mph. But when it pours out of its dive, it can experience
:35:41. > :35:45.as much as 25 G-force. We can briefly experience between
:35:45. > :35:50.fortified on most Roller coasters in the UK. This Vettel bog can jump
:35:50. > :35:56.100 times its own length. When it leaves it puts its body through 400
:35:56. > :35:58.g. But when it comes to G-force, even the best fighter pilot would
:35:58. > :36:03.find it difficult to reach double figures without losing
:36:03. > :36:10.consciousness. So why can't we do the same, and what happens to us
:36:10. > :36:13.when we try? This fighter pilot testing facility in Hampshire has
:36:13. > :36:20.Britain's only human centrifuge machine. It has been used for
:36:20. > :36:24.research in both aviation and space travel for the last 60 years. Why
:36:24. > :36:29.are human so poor at coping with extreme G-force? The main problem
:36:29. > :36:33.is the size of us in comparison to a lot of smaller creatures. What
:36:33. > :36:38.happens is as the gravity increases, then everything in our body begins
:36:38. > :36:42.to wait a lot more than usual. That includes the blood that circulates
:36:42. > :36:47.around the body. The heart has great difficulty getting bad blood
:36:47. > :36:52.up to the brain to keep us conscious. For it to stay conscious,
:36:52. > :36:57.this insect store some oxygen in its brain so it can still function
:36:57. > :37:02.when it hits 400 G-force. However, we rely on my heart to pump oxygen
:37:02. > :37:06.rich blood to of a brain and, as I'm not trained to handle G-force,
:37:06. > :37:12.Henry is only going to take me as far as I can safely go. I would
:37:12. > :37:22.just checked to make sure everything is OK. We have your ECG

:38:13. > :38:21.experience it for a split-second. But I've been going for a full
:38:22. > :38:29.minute and a half and I'm beginning It is pulling on to your cheeks.
:38:29. > :38:32.Hence, you are looking about 15 years older than you are. At Ford G

:38:38. > :38:48.to get the blood up into your brain. I can't move, I can't see properly

:42:58. > :43:04.some of the best front garden You might not think it is summer
:43:04. > :43:08.but Britain's front gardens can confirm - yes, it is. Here in
:43:08. > :43:14.Halifax, the summer shrubs, hydrangeas and roses are in bloom
:43:14. > :43:22.everywhere. There's no place for shrinking violets! The perennials
:43:22. > :43:27.of bold and brash, a real eye- popping colour. Hot, sizzling
:43:27. > :43:32.cacophony of flaming red. They remind me of the infernal fires of
:43:32. > :43:42.hell! Driving around, it's not long before I find something that really
:43:42. > :43:43.
:43:43. > :43:53.stands out. A hydrangea, and look at the buddleia. Look at that! What
:43:53. > :43:54.
:43:54. > :44:04.I was not expecting to see such a fantastic specimen of this in

:44:07. > :44:10.Jacqueline, do you know how high up you are you? About 1000 feet.
:44:10. > :44:14.not expecting to see this at his height. It's a tender plant from
:44:15. > :44:21.Australia. I think it must have altitude sickness or something!
:44:21. > :44:26.Growing at 1000 ft high, free- standing, exposed to the elements.
:44:26. > :44:30.Look at it! We get Red 4 winds round this neck of the woods as
:44:30. > :44:39.well. And you wouldn't know looking at that. But you've obviously got
:44:39. > :44:44.green fingers to get back to flower like that. Magic! After a short
:44:44. > :44:52.summer shower, a whopping fuchsia listens and shines, adding a splash
:44:52. > :44:57.of glorious colour to the roadside. Fantastic cascades of red and blue,

:45:32. > :45:36.ancient, but it is quite big. started off as a small baby. Lovely.
:45:36. > :45:40.What do you do to make it look so good? It gets a lot of manure and
:45:41. > :45:50.we tried to prune back what is behind it so it will get light from
:45:50. > :45:54.all sides. That is exactly... If a plant is happy, leave it alone.
:45:54. > :45:59.Glorious. Look at that beautiful cloud of flowers. You have
:45:59. > :46:03.positioned it very well because it is a sun lover. Yes. The sunlight
:46:03. > :46:06.coming through it, lighting the leaves from behind so you get a lot
:46:06. > :46:10.of different colours. Like light going through a stained-glass
:46:10. > :46:17.window. You can see why it is called a smoke plant because it
:46:17. > :46:22.looks hazy. Do people admire it as they come by? Occasionally we
:46:22. > :46:27.notice people walking past and stopping. They have a little look.
:46:27. > :46:34.It is nice if somebody likes your garden. It means we've done a good

:47:29. > :47:33.over here. Don't pull anything out! What is this about? We have two
:47:33. > :47:42.balls, a tennis ball and a steel ball. We will drop them down as
:47:42. > :47:52.pipe onto the anvil. Which one will bounce the highest? Tennis ball.

:48:06. > :48:10.five. Try this deal Paul. 8! It is very simple. Win this hits that,
:48:10. > :48:13.some of the energy from the drop goes into distorting the tennis

:48:19. > :48:24.energy is lost so all of it goes into a shooting it back in the air.
:48:24. > :48:30.You just mentioned QI. I think you've been introduced to this next
