All set at the beach, Dr Knowles?

0:00:020:00:04

We sure are, Ms Hucklebuck.

0:00:040:00:05

Everything is in place and we're ready to roll.

0:00:050:00:07

Well, as long as there are no last-minute surprises.

0:00:070:00:10

Lads, I want you to meet my new TV sidekick, Rocky the Seagull.

0:00:100:00:16

Squawk!

0:00:160:00:17

Oh, there's no way health and safety will allow this.

0:00:170:00:20

And haven't you already got a sidekick? Hm.

0:00:200:00:23

Rocky, this is Colin,

0:00:230:00:24

he's your new boss and you have to do whatever he says, OK?

0:00:240:00:28

-Squawk!

-Ah!

0:00:280:00:30

We're live from the beach in five, four...

0:00:300:00:33

This is Brain Freeze,

0:00:330:00:36

with Dr Knowles,

0:00:360:00:38

Professor McCork,

0:00:380:00:42

Colin, the floor manager,

0:00:420:00:44

and Ms Hucklebuck.

0:00:440:00:47

Stand by!

0:00:470:00:48

Come on, everybody!

0:00:480:00:50

Welcome to Brain Freeze, live from the seaside.

0:00:500:00:53

It's time for...

0:00:530:00:55

Today, we're asking why is the sea salty?

0:00:580:01:01

Did you know that the Earth contains enough water

0:01:010:01:05

to fill 493 trillion Olympic swimming pools?

0:01:050:01:08

Less than 1% of this is fresh water,

0:01:080:01:11

2% is frozen in glaciers and icecaps,

0:01:110:01:14

and the remaining 97% is salt water found in our oceans.

0:01:140:01:19

Rocky wants to know where does all the salt come from?

0:01:190:01:22

While some of the oceans' salt comes from volcanic vents

0:01:220:01:25

or rocks on the seabed,

0:01:250:01:27

most of it is actually from the land around us.

0:01:270:01:29

Rainwater dissolves minerals and salts from rocks,

0:01:290:01:32

collecting more and more as it makes its way down-river

0:01:320:01:35

before eventually depositing them into the ocean.

0:01:350:01:38

-Got to run, Dr Knowles, it's time for our big performance.

-What?!

0:01:380:01:41

Er, see you after the break.

0:01:410:01:43

And we're clear.

0:01:430:01:46

Ladies and gentlemen, prepare to be mesmerised

0:01:460:01:50

by the one and only Rocky, the amazing juggling seagull.

0:01:500:01:54

Oh, this looks like fun.

0:01:540:01:55

-All set, Rocky?

-Mm-hm.

-Ready? Ready?

0:01:550:01:58

Hup!

0:01:580:02:00

OK, Rocky, we'll try that again.

0:02:000:02:02

It's your first time on telly. All right, we'll go again. Ready?

0:02:020:02:06

Hup! Ah! Ah!

0:02:060:02:08

-Ow!

-Hey, that's mine, get off!

-McCork, get rid of this thing!

0:02:080:02:12

SHE LAUGHS

0:02:120:02:16

He's a natural, McCork!

0:02:160:02:18

Sign that seagull up immediately!

0:02:180:02:21

Shoo! Shoo!

0:02:210:02:23

We're live in five, four, three...

0:02:230:02:26

Oi, bird! Shoo!

0:02:300:02:34

So, Dr Knowles,

0:02:340:02:35

how does the salt get from the oceans onto our dinner tables?

0:02:350:02:38

Most of the table salt we eat

0:02:380:02:40

is mined from underground salt deposits on land,

0:02:400:02:42

whereas the sea salt we eat

0:02:420:02:44

is primarily produced through evaporation.

0:02:440:02:47

The heat of the sun removes the water,

0:02:470:02:49

leaving behind salt concentrates.

0:02:490:02:51

Sorry, Doctor, Rocky has another question.

0:02:510:02:55

He's wondering how much salt is in all the oceans?

0:02:550:02:58

Good question. On average, our oceans consist

0:02:580:03:00

of about 3.5% salt,

0:03:000:03:03

that's around 50 million billion tonnes.

0:03:030:03:07

By some estimates, if you spread it evenly

0:03:070:03:10

over the Earth's land surface,

0:03:100:03:12

it would form a layer more than 152 metres high.

0:03:120:03:15

Zut alors!

0:03:150:03:16

-That's it from us at the seaside. See you next time.

-Squawk!

0:03:160:03:20

And we're clear.

0:03:200:03:23

McCork, do you think you could ask Rocky to come back to the studio

0:03:230:03:27

for each screen test?

0:03:270:03:28

-He's exactly the kind of entertainer this show needs.

-What?!

0:03:280:03:32

Did you hear that, Rocky? You're going to be a big TV star.

0:03:320:03:36

He seems to be doing a lap of honour in celebration.

0:03:370:03:42

Er, I'm not sure that's a lap of honour. Watch out!

0:03:420:03:45

MS HUCKLEBUCK LAUGHS

0:03:450:03:48

I love it, McCork! This is the best double act I've seen in years!
