0:39:50 > 0:39:57.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05This show features professionals working with unpredictable animals.
0:40:05 > 0:40:09So, do not attempt to do anything you are about to see yourselves.
0:40:09 > 0:40:10BOTH: Yes?
0:40:27 > 0:40:31Did you know that now, right now, there are people all around the UK
0:40:31 > 0:40:34who are working their socks off to help wounded wildlife
0:40:34 > 0:40:35and poorly pets?
0:40:35 > 0:40:40And we've managed to get VIP passes for willing helpers to get stuck in
0:40:40 > 0:40:44at the busiest vets, wildlife sanctuaries and rescue centres.
0:40:44 > 0:40:45Rats!
0:40:45 > 0:40:48It's tough and dirty work but somebody's got to do it.
0:40:48 > 0:40:52On today's show, Reece and Daniel eye up parasites
0:40:52 > 0:40:54and go swimming with sharks.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56- Argh.- Ha-ha-ha.
0:40:56 > 0:41:00The race is on for Ayan and Ryan to help homeless hounds.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02- Come here, Lizzie.- Tommy, yes!
0:41:05 > 0:41:08And Dick nets himself a job helping Herring gulls.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10Just put it in the net. Good lad.
0:41:10 > 0:41:11One-nil.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18Mask. Snorkel. Why?
0:41:20 > 0:41:24I'm off to a sea life centre today. So, I thought I'd swim there.
0:41:24 > 0:41:28- I can see a little problem.- What?
0:41:28 > 0:41:31Water. Lack of it.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33Don't you worry, my little fruitcake.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47Here at Scarborough's Sea Life Centre,
0:41:47 > 0:41:51their aim is to protect the oceans and the creatures that live in them.
0:41:51 > 0:41:55The dedicated team work very hard and appreciate a helping hand.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57Today, I'm providing them with four helping hands.
0:41:57 > 0:42:01So, let's meet them. Not the hands, the people attached to them.
0:42:03 > 0:42:04Meet Reece and Daniel.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09Daniel just adores his dog, Jack.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12But he's not so sure about scary sea life.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14Crabs might actually snap you with their pincers.
0:42:14 > 0:42:18And it could hurt cos it might be quite sharp.
0:42:18 > 0:42:22Reece loves dogs too but he hasn't got one.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26He's not a big fish fanatic either.
0:42:26 > 0:42:32I think I kind of like sharks. I wouldn't want to go up and meet one.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35Neither of them is overly keen on wet, wild things
0:42:35 > 0:42:38but I reckon they could still make waves in Scarborough.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41On your bikes, boys.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43- Huh-hum.- Yes? Ah, you two.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46Daniel, Reece welcome to Dick 'N' Dom Go Wild.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48- You're both into a bit of animal action, yes?- Yeah.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51- But, Daniel, you don't like sharks or crabs.- No.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53That could be an issue at a sea life centre.
0:42:53 > 0:42:57- And, Reece, you don't like picking up slimy things, do you?- No.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00- That could be another issue. You do like swimming?- Yeah.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02Which is great news
0:43:02 > 0:43:04cos that means we can throw you in at the deep end.
0:43:04 > 0:43:08- Quite literally. Are you ready for some underwater action?- Yeah.
0:43:08 > 0:43:11Right, don these red boiler suits and let's do one.
0:43:13 > 0:43:17This place is full of cracking, underwater wonders.
0:43:17 > 0:43:20There are over 150 awesome, aquatic species
0:43:20 > 0:43:23and there's even a fully kitted-out sea life hospital.
0:43:23 > 0:43:27It's going to be a non-stop, wild, working day for our lads.
0:43:27 > 0:43:31We're behind the scenes where no members of the public are allowed
0:43:31 > 0:43:34- at the centre. Have you got a job for the boys?- I certainly do.
0:43:34 > 0:43:36The first job is to feed our otters
0:43:36 > 0:43:38but you've got to do the food prep first.
0:43:38 > 0:43:40- All right to do a bit of otter feeding?- Yes.- Yes.
0:43:40 > 0:43:43Come on then.
0:43:43 > 0:43:45These chaps are Asian Short-Clawed otters
0:43:45 > 0:43:48and they're lodging at the Sea Life Centre
0:43:48 > 0:43:52until a permanent home can be found for them.
0:43:52 > 0:43:56They might be smaller than the type you'd find living wild in Britain
0:43:56 > 0:43:58but they're just as lively.
0:43:58 > 0:44:03And they demand their grub fresh and raw.
0:44:03 > 0:44:06So, yeah, you'll need those on, boys.
0:44:06 > 0:44:10On today's menu is a lovely mix of fish, fowl and red meat.
0:44:10 > 0:44:13What would otters eat in the wild?
0:44:13 > 0:44:17In the wild, our Asian Short-Clawed otters would like to eat everything
0:44:17 > 0:44:21from little birds eggs to the little chicks that hatch out
0:44:21 > 0:44:23right through to even fruit and berries.
0:44:23 > 0:44:25No fruit today though.
0:44:25 > 0:44:28It's a full-on meaty feast thanks to our boys.
0:44:29 > 0:44:32- Shall we move onto the fish?- Yes. - To the second course.
0:44:32 > 0:44:35Do you want to have a root through? Nice, small pieces.
0:44:35 > 0:44:36Do they like the scales?
0:44:36 > 0:44:38They do. They like everything.
0:44:38 > 0:44:42They don't even think about what they're eating.
0:44:42 > 0:44:45- I can't believe I'm doing this.- Oh.
0:44:46 > 0:44:49It's slimy and horrible all right.
0:44:49 > 0:44:51I'm going to be sick.
0:44:51 > 0:44:54So, top marks for getting stuck in, boys.
0:44:54 > 0:44:57- Look what we've got. It's a meal fit for a king.- Wow!
0:44:59 > 0:45:03And later, will our breakfast go down well with the otters?
0:45:03 > 0:45:05Looks shy to me.
0:45:05 > 0:45:11But first, Dom races to Surrey where speedy dogs need special care.
0:45:11 > 0:45:15Today, we are at the Celia Cross Greyhound Trust in Surrey.
0:45:15 > 0:45:17They've been open for over 40 years
0:45:17 > 0:45:21and they rescue, rehabilitate and re-home retired greyhounds.
0:45:21 > 0:45:23Now, did you know that a greyhound is fast?
0:45:23 > 0:45:27Yes, very fast. They can travel up to 45 miles an hour.
0:45:29 > 0:45:34So, today's helpers won't stand a chance if they try to do a runner.
0:45:35 > 0:45:38On your marks, get set, it's Ayan and Ryan.
0:45:41 > 0:45:46Now, Ayan once had a pet tarantula and isn't impressed by pooches.
0:45:46 > 0:45:50Dogs are ugly cos they're just, like, all hairy and dribbly.
0:45:50 > 0:45:52They've got bad breath.
0:45:52 > 0:45:54I find it annoying that everybody is like,
0:45:54 > 0:45:56"Look at the cute, little doggie."
0:45:56 > 0:46:01And I'm just thinking that's a ball of disgusting phlegm.
0:46:04 > 0:46:08Unlike Ayan, how Ryan keeps lions.
0:46:08 > 0:46:11Not really, but he does keep chickens though.
0:46:11 > 0:46:13What do you think of dogs, Ryan?
0:46:13 > 0:46:15I used to be quite scared of them.
0:46:15 > 0:46:18Now that I'm like getting older,
0:46:18 > 0:46:21I'm just starting to see them differently and I like them more.
0:46:21 > 0:46:24But I'm still wary of the occasional one that comes running up
0:46:24 > 0:46:27and going woof, woof, woof, bow, wow, wow.
0:46:28 > 0:46:31We can sort that out. Chop to it, you two.
0:46:31 > 0:46:33To the greyhound sanctuary.
0:46:34 > 0:46:37Ayan and Ryan, hello, welcome to Dick N Dom Go Wild.
0:46:37 > 0:46:41Now, you have got one fear, one big fear only which is...
0:46:41 > 0:46:43BOTH: Dogs. You've got one on your top!
0:46:43 > 0:46:45- That' a wolf. - It's still in the dog family.
0:46:45 > 0:46:47Look, what I'm going to do today
0:46:47 > 0:46:50is try and prove to you that dogs aren't that scary.
0:46:50 > 0:46:52They're not that dangerous. Some are, some aren't.
0:46:52 > 0:46:56- We're here at a greyhound rescue centre. Good?- Yeah.
0:46:56 > 0:46:58All they need is a little bit of TLC.
0:46:58 > 0:47:01For example, watch this, lean in there.
0:47:01 > 0:47:03- Look, look, look.- Hello.
0:47:03 > 0:47:06Did you know that greyhounds are raced just like horses?
0:47:06 > 0:47:08Well, they are.
0:47:08 > 0:47:12And when they get too old or injured, they come to a place like this.
0:47:15 > 0:47:18Every year, the Celia Cross Trust helps around 150 hounds
0:47:18 > 0:47:20get back on track.
0:47:20 > 0:47:22Ayan, Ryan, I'd like you to meet Jane
0:47:22 > 0:47:25who runs this wonderful greyhound rescue centre. Hello, Jane.
0:47:25 > 0:47:29What's the best way for these guys to overcome their fear of big dogs?
0:47:29 > 0:47:32I think we actually need to get them into the run to meet
0:47:32 > 0:47:34some of the dogs, let them see how gentle they are.
0:47:34 > 0:47:38Their nickname is 45-mile-an-hour couch potatoes.
0:47:38 > 0:47:41They tend to lean into you rather than jump up
0:47:41 > 0:47:45and they just like nice stroking and lots of attention.
0:47:46 > 0:47:48Right, here we are in dogland.
0:47:48 > 0:47:51How do you feel now we're here?
0:47:51 > 0:47:56Kind of all right cos we're quite close but still a bit wary.
0:47:56 > 0:47:59Most racing dogs retire when they're three or four years old.
0:47:59 > 0:48:04When they stop racing, sadly, some are no longer wanted by their owners.
0:48:04 > 0:48:08Many of them have never experienced any type of home-life.
0:48:08 > 0:48:13They've lived a very, very robotic life within a racing kennels
0:48:13 > 0:48:16to be used for the function of greyhound racing.
0:48:16 > 0:48:19So, we get them in and we basically teach many of them
0:48:19 > 0:48:22to actually become dogs and family pets.
0:48:23 > 0:48:27One greyhound who really needs a new home is Arnie.
0:48:27 > 0:48:30The poor lad has been in this rescue centre for nearly a year.
0:48:30 > 0:48:33Arnie's been here for so long because of his colour.
0:48:33 > 0:48:36Black greyhounds are not as popular as the other colours.
0:48:36 > 0:48:40- Poor, old Arnie. It's hardly fair, is it?- No.
0:48:40 > 0:48:41What do you think of his coat?
0:48:41 > 0:48:44I really like it. I think it's really nice.
0:48:44 > 0:48:47It surprises me that people would not adopt him
0:48:47 > 0:48:50- just cos of the colour of his coat. - Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
0:48:50 > 0:48:54I think he looks cute with the white tip at the end of his tail.
0:48:54 > 0:48:57Ah, yes. Like a little magic wand.
0:48:57 > 0:49:00Like a little, curly magic wand.
0:49:01 > 0:49:04- Who are you more scared of, greyhounds or me?- You.
0:49:06 > 0:49:11And later, Ayan and Ryan actually get hands on with a hound.
0:49:11 > 0:49:14Never thought I'd see the day when Ayan would be stroking a dog
0:49:14 > 0:49:16and not being freaked out.
0:49:17 > 0:49:20Back in Scarborough, Daniel and Reece are serving breakfast
0:49:20 > 0:49:24to two very hungry Asian Short-Clawed otters.
0:49:24 > 0:49:28But it's not delivered on a plate, it's hidden in holes.
0:49:28 > 0:49:30Exactly why are we putting it in the log?
0:49:30 > 0:49:33Well, what we want them to do is keep occupied.
0:49:33 > 0:49:35If we put food into these holes,
0:49:35 > 0:49:39they actually have to try and get it out of all the holes.
0:49:40 > 0:49:42They nosh a lot, do otters.
0:49:42 > 0:49:45They eat a third of their body weight every day in the wild.
0:49:45 > 0:49:50That's the same as me eating 200 quarter pounder burgers. Mmm.
0:49:50 > 0:49:54The otters smell their grub.
0:49:54 > 0:49:56But seem a little edgy about grabbing it.
0:49:56 > 0:49:59What they're doing is actually sniffing around cos they're thinking,
0:49:59 > 0:50:02"Who's that in the enclosure? Who's been in my enclosure?"
0:50:02 > 0:50:04They're being a bit cautious
0:50:04 > 0:50:07but once they get used to your smell they'll be straight out.
0:50:07 > 0:50:10And on cue, here come the otters.
0:50:10 > 0:50:11- Woah.- Oh-oh.
0:50:11 > 0:50:14Look at him. They're quite cute.
0:50:14 > 0:50:17Them big eyes, that's the cute feature about them.
0:50:17 > 0:50:20Look at that, the otters are clearly giving our fleshy feast
0:50:20 > 0:50:21a big thumbs up.
0:50:21 > 0:50:25Well, they would if they had thumbs anyway. Nice work, chaps.
0:50:29 > 0:50:32Later, Daniel and Reece eye up a lump of a fish
0:50:32 > 0:50:33with a skin problem.
0:50:33 > 0:50:37- Funny-looking thing, isn't he? Do you like it?- Yeah.
0:50:38 > 0:50:40At the Greyhound Trust in Surrey,
0:50:40 > 0:50:45Ayan and Ryan have raced in to help out.
0:50:45 > 0:50:49But they need to overcome their wariness of waggy tail first.
0:50:49 > 0:50:54This is Seth. He's one of our ex-racers.
0:50:54 > 0:51:00Six-year-old Seth arrived from a dog pound in Manchester four months ago.
0:51:00 > 0:51:01His racing days are behind him
0:51:01 > 0:51:05and he's now in need of some tender, loving care.
0:51:05 > 0:51:07Anyone brave enough to give him a biscuit?
0:51:07 > 0:51:11- I will.- There you go, that's it.
0:51:11 > 0:51:13That's so cool.
0:51:13 > 0:51:16- Just reassure him and tell him he's a good boy.- Good boy.
0:51:16 > 0:51:19Nice one, Ryan. Now it's doggie disliker, Ayan's turn.
0:51:19 > 0:51:23How come he hasn't he sat down through this whole thing?
0:51:23 > 0:51:25They found it very difficult to sit down.
0:51:25 > 0:51:28They have incredibly long legs so they tend to stand.
0:51:28 > 0:51:32And if they're very tired they tend to just flop down and lay down.
0:51:32 > 0:51:35It's very, very unusual to see a greyhound sitting.
0:51:35 > 0:51:37- Makes them unique. - They are definitely unique.
0:51:37 > 0:51:40When Seth was flying around the track
0:51:40 > 0:51:41he was known as Special Impact.
0:51:41 > 0:51:43- Good boy.- Aw.
0:51:43 > 0:51:46And that's exactly what he's having on our pair.
0:51:48 > 0:51:52- I never thought I'd be cuddling a dog.- You're not frightened of him?
0:51:52 > 0:51:56- No.- I'm pleased that you've come today.
0:51:56 > 0:52:00I never thought I'd see the day when Ayan would be stroking a dog
0:52:00 > 0:52:04and not being freaked out or had a dog eat out of her hand.
0:52:04 > 0:52:07I'm not scared of greyhounds any more
0:52:07 > 0:52:09or, like, not as scared of greyhounds any more.
0:52:09 > 0:52:15Ayan just doesn't cuddle dogs until now. I'm proud of her.
0:52:16 > 0:52:18Brilliant effort, you two.
0:52:18 > 0:52:22Later, Ayan and Ryan have a close-up brush with another hound.
0:52:22 > 0:52:23It's not like human toothpaste.
0:52:23 > 0:52:27It's not minty, it's chicken flavour.
0:52:31 > 0:52:34But first, Dick plots a great gull getaway.
0:52:36 > 0:52:37There he is, look.
0:52:37 > 0:52:39Freddy, the famous fish and chip thiever from Filey.
0:52:39 > 0:52:41Locked up for crimes against fast food.
0:52:41 > 0:52:44- What?- This lot. Locked up against crimes against fast food.
0:52:44 > 0:52:47They've been nicking fish and chips.
0:52:47 > 0:52:51No, no, no, these beautiful birds are called Herring gulls.
0:52:51 > 0:52:54Some people see them as thieving, seaside troublemakers
0:52:54 > 0:52:57I, on the other hand, see them as brilliantly intelligent
0:52:57 > 0:52:59survivalists, not criminals.
0:52:59 > 0:53:02Ah. So, they're innocent.
0:53:03 > 0:53:06- Yes, that's right. They're innocent. - Don't worry, fellas,
0:53:06 > 0:53:10we'll have you pooing on babies' heads again in no time.
0:53:10 > 0:53:13We're going to break them out, starting with a tunnel.
0:53:15 > 0:53:17What do you think, viewer?
0:53:17 > 0:53:21Do you think we should tell him that this is a seagull enclosure
0:53:21 > 0:53:23that looks after orphaned, sick and injured birds
0:53:23 > 0:53:26or do you think that we should let him keep on digging
0:53:26 > 0:53:29with his grotty little fingers? Hmm?
0:53:29 > 0:53:33Dick thinks he's helping imprisoned Herring gulls escape.
0:53:35 > 0:53:38Ah, a gate. Very clever.
0:53:38 > 0:53:41What Cloth Head doesn't realise is that we have very special permission
0:53:41 > 0:53:45to round up and release these fully-recovered seabirds to the wild.
0:53:45 > 0:53:49Ah-ha, a guard has left a carrying box and a net.
0:53:49 > 0:53:53Just what I needed. Right then, little fellas, let's do this.
0:53:55 > 0:53:59That's it. Come on. They're everywhere. Good lad.
0:53:59 > 0:54:00Go on, get it.
0:54:02 > 0:54:06Just put him in the net. Yeah, good lad.
0:54:07 > 0:54:08One-nil.
0:54:11 > 0:54:13Now, gulls can be a bit feisty
0:54:13 > 0:54:15so do not ever try and catch them yourselves.
0:54:15 > 0:54:19Good lad. This way to freedom. This way to freedom.
0:54:19 > 0:54:23We've got expert guidance here.
0:54:24 > 0:54:27No more bread and water for you lot. Back to fish and chips.
0:54:27 > 0:54:31Who wants some fish and chips? Come on.
0:54:31 > 0:54:35That's it. You're doing a really good job. He's not.
0:54:36 > 0:54:40You're doing really well. He isn't.
0:54:40 > 0:54:42I'm really proud of you. I'm not.
0:54:42 > 0:54:45You're free! Got you.
0:54:47 > 0:54:48Ah. Argh!
0:54:49 > 0:54:52Please help them. Take them to sea.
0:54:52 > 0:54:54I'll wait here with the others.
0:54:54 > 0:54:57It looks like this a job for the experts. Hello, Sara.
0:54:57 > 0:55:00Sara, a guard. We've been rumbled.
0:55:00 > 0:55:02Look. How many times do I have to tell you?
0:55:02 > 0:55:04This is an animal rescue centre.
0:55:04 > 0:55:07These Herring gulls are going to be taken out to sea
0:55:07 > 0:55:09and released into the wild.
0:55:09 > 0:55:13These ones are staying here until they're better. Now, get out!
0:55:16 > 0:55:18Through the gate.
0:55:18 > 0:55:19Freedom!
0:55:24 > 0:55:27Back in Scarborough, Reece and Daniel are busy working hard
0:55:27 > 0:55:29behind the scenes at a sea life centre
0:55:29 > 0:55:32and it's real in-at-the-deep-end stuff.
0:55:32 > 0:55:35Next, it's a big job with a strange creature called a lumpsucker.
0:55:35 > 0:55:38In aquariums, these fish can suffer from skin problems
0:55:38 > 0:55:40and need to be checked out regularly.
0:55:40 > 0:55:43Our boys are about to help Todd give one the once-over.
0:55:43 > 0:55:46And this is a lumpsucker.
0:55:46 > 0:55:49Ah, oh! That is a fish?
0:55:49 > 0:55:51- It's fat.- Very.
0:55:53 > 0:55:57The lumpsucker gets its name from its ability to stick to rocks
0:55:57 > 0:56:02using a sucker on its belly. They also look a bit like a lump.
0:56:02 > 0:56:06- It's a funny-looking thing, isn't he? Do you like it?- Yeah.
0:56:06 > 0:56:10Todd is concerned our fish might have been attacked by a parasite.
0:56:10 > 0:56:13So, what we're going to do today is we're going to scrape his skin,
0:56:13 > 0:56:17have a look down the microscope and see if we can see any parasites.
0:56:17 > 0:56:20If there are some, then we're going to get him on some treatment.
0:56:20 > 0:56:24Parasites live and feed off other animals. Ugh.
0:56:24 > 0:56:27This is what we're looking out for.
0:56:27 > 0:56:29These bad boys can be deadly to a lumpsucker.
0:56:32 > 0:56:33Scrape down one side.
0:56:33 > 0:56:36First, Todd carefully scrapes the side of the fish
0:56:36 > 0:56:38with a small, glass slide.
0:56:38 > 0:56:41- There we go.- There you go, painless.
0:56:41 > 0:56:44And then, it's over to the boys
0:56:44 > 0:56:48to see if our fish is being attacked by tiny terrors.
0:56:48 > 0:56:52So, what you're looking for is anything that's moving
0:56:52 > 0:56:55and anything that looks a bit odd to what else is there.
0:56:55 > 0:56:57- Can you see anything moving?- No.
0:56:57 > 0:57:01- No, well that's a good sign. - See anything, Reece?
0:57:01 > 0:57:03Anything squiggling around?
0:57:03 > 0:57:08- No.- There you go, no. It's all clean.- Yeah.
0:57:08 > 0:57:10Looks like we've got one healthy lumpsucker
0:57:10 > 0:57:13and he's ready to go back into his tank.
0:57:15 > 0:57:17Not a parasite in sight.
0:57:17 > 0:57:20Our lumpsucker is home and dry, well, sort of.
0:57:22 > 0:57:26And later, I join Reece and Daniel as we go underwater, egg collecting.
0:57:26 > 0:57:28What's in here with us?
0:57:28 > 0:57:32Well, we've got a real mix of British species of fish
0:57:32 > 0:57:34and, actually, shark in the tank.
0:57:37 > 0:57:39At the Greyhound Centre in Surrey,
0:57:39 > 0:57:44Ayan and Ryan are coming around to liking these four-legged flyers.
0:57:44 > 0:57:46Good job, there's loads of work to be done.
0:57:46 > 0:57:53Five-year-old Alistair is a recently retired racer looking for a new home.
0:57:53 > 0:57:55Jane needs to give him a thorough check-up
0:57:55 > 0:57:58and she's hoping our pals will be up for helping out.
0:57:58 > 0:58:01- Are you happy to help me do that? - I'll give it a go.- Yeah.
0:58:01 > 0:58:04Firstly, we are going to brush his teeth.
0:58:04 > 0:58:07So, I'm going to give you a toothbrush each.
0:58:07 > 0:58:11Believe it or not, dogs' teeth need cleaning just like ours
0:58:11 > 0:58:13to keep them free of plaque and gum disease.
0:58:13 > 0:58:15We just, basically, brush away,
0:58:15 > 0:58:20getting all that food debris out and about, straight off of it.
0:58:20 > 0:58:23Now, remember how Ayan turned her nose up at honky hounds.
0:58:23 > 0:58:25When they smile you can see all their gums and their teeth
0:58:25 > 0:58:27and they've got bad breath.
0:58:27 > 0:58:30Look, she's now getting stuck in no problem.
0:58:30 > 0:58:32If I just hold his gum for you
0:58:32 > 0:58:36and if you just, one at a time, in very gentle, circular motions.
0:58:36 > 0:58:38Both are getting down to it right away,
0:58:38 > 0:58:41scrubbing a greyhound's gnashers.
0:58:41 > 0:58:44Vets recommend that owners regularly brush their dog's teeth.
0:58:44 > 0:58:46But it's a job best left to grown-ups.
0:58:46 > 0:58:50The toothpaste tastes quite nice. It's not like human toothpaste.
0:58:50 > 0:58:52It's not minty. It's chicken flavour.
0:58:52 > 0:58:57Mmm, meaty fresh. And Alistair's gums are disease-free.
0:58:58 > 0:59:02Our duo's not finished yet. Jane needs a bit more hands-on help.
0:59:02 > 0:59:04We need to collect a urine sample for him.
0:59:04 > 0:59:09How do we do that? Are we going to have to like hold a cup under?
0:59:09 > 0:59:11It's not a cup. It's a bit bigger than a cup.
0:59:11 > 0:59:14It's something called a kidney dish.
0:59:14 > 0:59:18- This is going to be interesting. - Interesting, yeah.
0:59:18 > 0:59:21Yeah, protective gloves on for this one, I reckon.
0:59:23 > 0:59:26Alistair's been drinking more water than usual
0:59:26 > 0:59:29and the urine test will reveal if this thirsty greyhound
0:59:29 > 0:59:32has a condition called diabetes.
0:59:32 > 0:59:34- Ayan's warming to this task. - It's heating up.
0:59:36 > 0:59:38Easy-PEE-sy.
0:59:38 > 0:59:41As soon as I heard there would have to be one of us catching the pee,
0:59:41 > 0:59:44I grabbed the lead and went, "Shotgun, I've got the lead."
0:59:44 > 0:59:48Helping Alistair with his health check was really fun.
0:59:48 > 0:59:49But catching the pee,
0:59:49 > 0:59:51I never thought I'd do that in a million years.
0:59:51 > 0:59:53Top effort and a real result.
0:59:53 > 0:59:56Alistair passes his medical with flying colours
0:59:56 > 0:59:58and is now up for re-homing. Get in!
1:00:00 > 1:00:03And later, it's a race to the finish
1:00:03 > 1:00:06as Ayan and Ryan turn into lightening dog trainers.
1:00:06 > 1:00:08Go on, Lizzie!
1:00:08 > 1:00:10Tommy, yes!
1:00:10 > 1:00:15But first, it gets all prickly when we help hogs.
1:00:16 > 1:00:19Here you are. Here you go. Din din's.
1:00:19 > 1:00:21- Nothing even in there.- Ah!
1:00:21 > 1:00:24- What's the matter? - I've done something horrid.
1:00:24 > 1:00:25- Please forgive me.- What is it?
1:00:25 > 1:00:30I've been washing them for so long that they've all shrunk.
1:00:30 > 1:00:32No, you see, these are baby hedgehogs.
1:00:32 > 1:00:34They're only about four or five weeks old.
1:00:34 > 1:00:36- How do you know that? - It says it, right here.
1:00:36 > 1:00:38It's amazing. When they're first born,
1:00:38 > 1:00:41they're pink and their spikes are underneath their skin.
1:00:41 > 1:00:44Then after a few hours, their spikes pop out.
1:00:44 > 1:00:46They're good to pick up at this age as well
1:00:46 > 1:00:48cos they don't curl up in a ball
1:00:48 > 1:00:50like they do when they're adults as much.
1:00:50 > 1:00:53Obviously, I wouldn't go around picking up wild, baby hedgehogs.
1:00:53 > 1:00:54It's not a good idea.
1:00:54 > 1:00:58- Why not?- They poo themselves every eight minutes.- Argh.
1:01:02 > 1:01:06Back in Scarborough, Daniel and Reece are working behind the scenes
1:01:06 > 1:01:10at one of the country's top marine sanctuaries.
1:01:10 > 1:01:13So, you've been really close to some sea life so far.
1:01:13 > 1:01:15- Have you enjoyed it?- Yeah.
1:01:15 > 1:01:17- Do you want to get closer to some more?- Yeah.
1:01:17 > 1:01:20- How do you think I'm going to be able to do that?- I don't know.
1:01:20 > 1:01:23Well, I'll tell you. You're going in there.
1:01:24 > 1:01:28And in there means swimming with big, predator fish. Oh!
1:01:29 > 1:01:32So, we're all in. What's in here with us?
1:01:32 > 1:01:36Well, we've got a real mix of British species of fish
1:01:36 > 1:01:38and, actually, shark in the tank.
1:01:38 > 1:01:41- How do you feel about the sharks, Daniel?- Quite scared.
1:01:41 > 1:01:46I haven't been this close yet. I'm not sure if I will be OK
1:01:46 > 1:01:49- but think I might be OK.- What are we going to be doing with them?
1:01:49 > 1:01:50What we're going to be doing,
1:01:50 > 1:01:53is we're going to be removing the egg cases from our rays
1:01:53 > 1:01:56that have been laid in the tank.
1:01:56 > 1:01:59These little, brown pods or mermaid's purses as they're known
1:01:59 > 1:02:00have got eggs in them.
1:02:00 > 1:02:03They'll take between six and nine months to hatch
1:02:03 > 1:02:06and when they do, out will pop a little, baby ray.
1:02:06 > 1:02:09We need to move them to a safe place before that happens.
1:02:09 > 1:02:11What are we going to do with these eggs?
1:02:11 > 1:02:13We're going to take them out the tank
1:02:13 > 1:02:16and we are going to pop them in one of our nursery tanks
1:02:16 > 1:02:18so they can have their own space to grow and hatch.
1:02:18 > 1:02:22This job is tricky. The egg pods are incredibly delicate.
1:02:22 > 1:02:25We need to collect them very carefully.
1:02:26 > 1:02:28So, Daniel, get that one.
1:02:28 > 1:02:30Gently does it.
1:02:30 > 1:02:33- That's it.- Got one!
1:02:33 > 1:02:35Well done.
1:02:35 > 1:02:39It has to stay under the water or, otherwise, it won't be able to grow.
1:02:39 > 1:02:42It's not your every-day-looking egg, is it?
1:02:42 > 1:02:46- Fellas, do you want to feel it? - Yeah.- Have a little stroke then.
1:02:46 > 1:02:48- What's it feel like?- Weird.
1:02:48 > 1:02:51And in no time at all, every ray egg is collected.
1:02:51 > 1:02:54They'll now be kept safe and sound in this nursery tank
1:02:54 > 1:02:58and, eventually, they'll grow up to look a lot like this.
1:03:02 > 1:03:04When Daniel and Reece arrived here today
1:03:04 > 1:03:07they weren't big fans of anything with fins.
1:03:07 > 1:03:10But there's been a bit of a sea change here.
1:03:12 > 1:03:14- Argh!- Ha-ha-ha-ha.
1:03:14 > 1:03:18Look at this, they're stood in a tank full of sharks and rays,
1:03:18 > 1:03:20feeding them and loving it.
1:03:22 > 1:03:25Go wilding at its best, chaps.
1:03:28 > 1:03:31When you got here, Daniel, you didn't like sharks or crabs,
1:03:31 > 1:03:33- how you feeling about it now? - It's much better now.
1:03:33 > 1:03:36- You actually like crabs and sharks now?- Yeah.
1:03:36 > 1:03:39Perfect. Reece, what's been your best bit?
1:03:39 > 1:03:42My best bit's been being with the lumpsucker
1:03:42 > 1:03:43and having a look at that.
1:03:43 > 1:03:45Lovely. That was a cool fish.
1:03:45 > 1:03:48Have you got a new-found love for sea creatures?
1:03:48 > 1:03:51- Yes.- Not really love, kind of like a like.
1:03:51 > 1:03:54Well, a like will do for me. Nice one, lads.
1:03:57 > 1:04:01Ayan and Ryan have been at a greyhound rescue centre,
1:04:01 > 1:04:03bonding with homeless hounds.
1:04:05 > 1:04:08- And wee sampling.- It's heating up.
1:04:08 > 1:04:10Now, it's tea time.
1:04:13 > 1:04:15- They're very noisy.- They're hungry.
1:04:15 > 1:04:19They're waiting for their dinner. They're telling us to feed them.
1:04:19 > 1:04:23So, our chefs rustle up a gourmet greyhound offering of biscuits
1:04:23 > 1:04:27- with pilchards in tomato sauce. - Revolting.
1:04:27 > 1:04:30- Down.- Down.- Down.
1:04:30 > 1:04:33Woah. They were hungry.
1:04:33 > 1:04:36I did it beautifully for you guys, it's a delicacy.
1:04:38 > 1:04:40Here you go, Sethy.
1:04:40 > 1:04:44Dogs' dinner is done.
1:04:44 > 1:04:49Now, there's one, very special, final, job to get going on.
1:04:49 > 1:04:52Our pair are only going to have a go at being racing dog trainers.
1:04:52 > 1:04:56- So, who are these guys?- This is Lizzie.- Lizzie.- And this is Tommy.
1:04:56 > 1:04:59Hello, Tommy. Greyhounds are amazing at running.
1:04:59 > 1:05:01- Have you seen them run yet?- No.- No.
1:05:01 > 1:05:04Slightly wet conditions. Will this make them slower?
1:05:04 > 1:05:07It certainly will slow them down because the grass is wet.
1:05:07 > 1:05:08We'll give it a go and,
1:05:08 > 1:05:11hopefully, their instinct will kick in and they'll run.
1:05:11 > 1:05:12Any particular way?
1:05:12 > 1:05:15They'll normally go off anti-clockwise around the field,
1:05:15 > 1:05:17- cos that's the way they're usually trained.- Of course.
1:05:17 > 1:05:19- Like a race track.- Yeah.
1:05:19 > 1:05:23'Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the big race live.'
1:05:23 > 1:05:26ALL: One, two, three, go.
1:05:26 > 1:05:28'And they're off.'
1:05:28 > 1:05:30- Ha-ha-ha.- Look at them.
1:05:30 > 1:05:32'It's Tommy and Lizzie neck and neck.'
1:05:32 > 1:05:35That's not anti-clockwise? Where are they going?
1:05:35 > 1:05:37They have just legged it.
1:05:37 > 1:05:39- They've gone down to the gate. - They've pegged it.
1:05:39 > 1:05:41Oh, they're coming.
1:05:43 > 1:05:45This isn't just about having fun though.
1:05:45 > 1:05:48These runs give these dashing dogs exactly the kind of exercise
1:05:48 > 1:05:50greyhounds really need.
1:05:50 > 1:05:53- Look at them go! - Go, Lizzie.- Go on, Tommy.
1:05:53 > 1:05:55Go, Lizzie!
1:05:55 > 1:05:56Tommy, yeah!
1:05:58 > 1:05:59- Here we go.- Here they come.
1:06:01 > 1:06:03'And they're coming down the home straight.'
1:06:03 > 1:06:05Run, Tommy!
1:06:05 > 1:06:08'Nothing between them. Final push for the line, sniff in a bush.'
1:06:08 > 1:06:09Come here, Lizzie!
1:06:09 > 1:06:12'And they're off again.'
1:06:12 > 1:06:14- Go on , go on.- Go, Lizzie!
1:06:16 > 1:06:19Well, if you can't beat them, join them.
1:06:21 > 1:06:23So, you enjoy your day, team?
1:06:23 > 1:06:25I've had the best day ever.
1:06:25 > 1:06:28It was so much better than I'd even imagined.
1:06:28 > 1:06:32I got to spend so much time with animals that I never really loved
1:06:32 > 1:06:35and now I just think they're the best thing in the world.
1:06:35 > 1:06:38I'm so glad I've conquered my fear of dogs
1:06:38 > 1:06:41because before it was hard to go round my friends' houses
1:06:41 > 1:06:44cos they have dogs and I get a bit freaked out
1:06:44 > 1:06:46and like walking down the street, I get freaked out
1:06:46 > 1:06:49but now it's just all going to be so much more easy.
1:06:52 > 1:06:55Well, that didn't quite go as we expected.
1:06:55 > 1:06:58They started off running like greyhounds
1:06:58 > 1:07:01and there's little, old me, running puffed out and bushed.
1:07:01 > 1:07:04- Have you two enjoyed your day? Clearly you have, yeah?- Yeah.
1:07:04 > 1:07:06Good. A remarkable transformation.
1:07:06 > 1:07:08You arrived here, genuinely,
1:07:08 > 1:07:11and I mean genuinely terrified of dogs, now look at you!
1:07:11 > 1:07:14You've become professional greyhound trainers.
1:07:14 > 1:07:16- Would you come back here?- Definitely.
1:07:16 > 1:07:19- I'd like to come and work here. - You've got your first recruit, Jane.
1:07:19 > 1:07:23- Second recruit.- And your second. You can't say better than that.
1:07:23 > 1:07:26You've got two dog converts. Job well done.
1:07:32 > 1:07:36- Right.- What?- You distract the guard, I'll set them free.
1:07:36 > 1:07:39Free at last. Free at last. Freedom!
1:07:41 > 1:07:43Free at last!
1:07:43 > 1:07:46I'm going to free myself while I've still got the chance.
1:07:46 > 1:07:47Save yourself!
