:01:09. > :01:11.lost forever unless �500,000 can be Everyone has a favourite Roald Dahl

:01:11. > :01:21.story, mine was the BFG and all these wonderful characters were

:01:21. > :01:23.

:01:23. > :01:27.created here in this shed. So this is the small space where he would

:01:27. > :01:32.come and work. He would sit in this chair and scribble down his ideas

:01:33. > :01:41.and even his family knew when he was working here, he was not to be

:01:41. > :01:45.disturbed. He wanted to keep the shed so secretive. Everyone in the

:01:45. > :01:49.shed has been left as it was when he was alive. Things like family

:01:49. > :01:53.photos, pencils and even his glasses.

:01:53. > :02:00.But it is starting to fall apart and a rescue plan has been launched

:02:00. > :02:04.to save it. These four walls will be down and rebuilt. It means that

:02:04. > :02:08.everyone will be able to see inside, but it is not an easy task. What we

:02:08. > :02:11.need to do, we need to take photographs of everything, work out

:02:11. > :02:16.where they are. Measure the distances between things and then

:02:16. > :02:19.we need to pack everything up carefully. The stuff that's damaged

:02:19. > :02:23.by insects is exciting because we wrap it up and then we take it to

:02:23. > :02:33.the deep freeze and we put it in the freezer and we kill the pests.

:02:33. > :02:37.

:02:37. > :02:45.It is more than 50 years since Since Rahl Dail started writing

:02:45. > :02:48.stories. We can't stop talking about David

:02:48. > :02:52.Walliams and his charity swim along the Thames.

:02:52. > :02:57.Yes, after battling against raw sewage and stomach bugs for eight

:02:57. > :03:05.days, he arrived in Westminster Bridge after 6pm Last Night. The

:03:05. > :03:10.comedian has raised over �1 million for Sport Relief. After swimming

:03:10. > :03:16.for so long, he had enough of water. A bath is the only water I want to

:03:16. > :03:21.see for a highly! -- while!

:03:21. > :03:24.To some of the of the bravest people around. The British troops

:03:24. > :03:29.who diffuse bombs. For the first time we have allowed a close-up

:03:29. > :03:35.look at what life is like for the specialist soldiers who try to find

:03:35. > :03:41.It is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. High threat

:03:41. > :03:51.operators from the Army's Royal logistic Corp dismantling a deadly

:03:51. > :03:53.

:03:53. > :03:59.bomb. It is a terrifying task.

:03:59. > :04:03.The intense fear of standing on one of these devices is incredibly

:04:03. > :04:08.strong and to be able to understand, I think, you kind of need to be

:04:08. > :04:11.there. The Taliban make these bombs and bury them, often by the

:04:12. > :04:15.roadside to try and hurt or kill British soldiers operating in

:04:15. > :04:25.Afghanistan. The job for this specialist unit is to fin the

:04:25. > :04:27.

:04:27. > :04:30.devices and take them apart so that other troops can travel safely.

:04:30. > :04:35.It is, of course, incredibly dangerous. There were seven members

:04:35. > :04:40.of this team when they started, but one man was killed and two have

:04:40. > :04:44.been badly injured. I think I might have something.

:04:44. > :04:49.They have dismantled over 1,000 bombs in the last year, but while

:04:49. > :04:58.the war in Afghanistan continues, they know there will always be more

:04:58. > :05:02.High winds and heavy rain have been causing problems in parts of the UK.

:05:02. > :05:12.Hundreds of homes lost power and there have been flood warnings in

:05:12. > :05:13.

:05:13. > :05:21.Scotland and Wales. Steve Back shaw's Deadly 60 has

:05:21. > :05:27.been given a makeover for a programme called Deadly 360. I

:05:27. > :05:31.managed to catch up with him and ask some of your questions.

:05:31. > :05:36.This is the first time in my life that I've touched a lion.

:05:36. > :05:40.Molly, who is eight and from London says, "Do you ever get worried when

:05:40. > :05:44.you're a near an animal that could harm you?". What is really, really

:05:44. > :05:50.important is that you don't actually show any of your emotions

:05:50. > :05:56.to animals because they pick up on them instantly.

:05:56. > :06:00.That is just the most phenomenon amount of power.

:06:00. > :06:10.I keep any emotions unwraps. were comb when you were working

:06:10. > :06:14.

:06:14. > :06:22.with wolves? I I was cool. Wolves are my favourite animal in the

:06:22. > :06:26.whole world. Shall I mimic a wolf? Yes, please.

:06:26. > :06:31.If you do that, in the wild and there are wild wolves nearby, they

:06:31. > :06:35.will respond. OK, let's pick Eleanor, she wants

:06:35. > :06:38.to know if you could be any animal, what would that be? Well, I would

:06:38. > :06:46.say I would be a bird. I think it is a very human desire to want to

:06:46. > :06:54.be able to fly. Matilda, this is a really good one,

:06:54. > :07:02."Dear Steve, I want to be a zoololgist -- zoo algist when I'm

:07:02. > :07:07.older, but I'm allergic to animals.". She could study

:07:07. > :07:10.amphibians and reptiles. My niece wants to know why

:07:11. > :07:13.sometimes you are barefoot when you are out exploring? I find quite

:07:13. > :07:18.often you can be more quiet and more subtle when you are moving

:07:18. > :07:22.around if you don't have great, big, clod hopping boots on. It is

:07:22. > :07:28.sometimes a very good way of getting around and not spooking the

:07:28. > :07:32.wildlife around you. You can catch Steve on Deadly 360

:07:32. > :07:40.on Thursday at 5.15pm on the CBBC Channel.
