:00:52.:01:07.

In the Big Ben was bad times. And not everyone is happy. He might

:01:08.:01:16.

not hear the dolls of Big Ben for a very long time. That is because

:01:17.:01:20.

there is a row over some repair work happening on the famous bell. It is

:01:21.:01:26.

supposed to stop bringing on Monday for four years, except for special

:01:27.:01:29.

occasions, to protect the hearing of the people working on it. But not

:01:30.:01:34.

everyone was happy about the plan including the premise. Of course we

:01:35.:01:37.

want to insure people safety at work but it can be right for Big Ben to

:01:38.:01:42.

be silent for years. Now the plans are up in the well politicians

:01:43.:01:47.

figured out what to do. Well we have some time, here are all the things

you might not about Big Ben. Most people now Big Ben as the clock

tower attached to the Palace of Westminster. Which is where

:02:00.:02:04.

inside it. The clock tower used to be called the... Clocktower, but it

:02:05.:02:10.

was really into the list of terror in honour of the Queen's Diamond

:02:11.:02:17.

Jubilee in 2012. No one knows why it is called Big Ben, one idea is that

:02:18.:02:21.

it was named after Sir Benjamin Ford, politician who was around when

:02:22.:02:25.

it was built, what others think it could be named after a boxer. Big

:02:26.:02:32.

Ben does not swing like normal bells, instead it is fixed and

:02:33.:02:40.

struck by a hammer from outside. The BBC first broadcast Big Ben's times

:02:41.:02:45.

to mark the New Year in 1923, the clock has seen every new year since.

:02:46.:02:50.

Apart from the 1962, when ice made it ten minutes late.
