0:00:02 > 0:00:05This programme contains some strong language.

0:00:05 > 0:00:08I'm sure it would mean a lot to him, but, you know, get a therapist, go to bed earlier.

0:00:08 > 0:00:13We've already been talking to Channel Four about Olympic Come Dine With Me,

0:00:13 > 0:00:14which is so exciting.

0:00:14 > 0:00:16Yeah, they're saying

0:00:16 > 0:00:21Virginia Wade, Geoffrey Boycott, Ellen MacArthur and Colin Jackson

0:00:21 > 0:00:23and I'm, like, it's such a terrific idea guys,

0:00:23 > 0:00:26but I don't know who any of those people are.

0:00:26 > 0:00:29I'm sorry, but Gary Linekar does not embody the Olympic spirit,

0:00:29 > 0:00:30I don't care who you are.

0:00:30 > 0:00:34Well, stay off the crisps for a kick off.

0:00:34 > 0:00:36Yeah, but I don't know who they are, that's what I'm saying.

0:00:36 > 0:00:39Yes, Danny Boyle will direct the Opening Ceremony.

0:00:39 > 0:00:42No, there won't be any dancing heroin addicts.

0:00:42 > 0:00:47- Yeah, but I don't know who they are. - No, there won't be any zombies, unless you count the Mayor!

0:00:47 > 0:00:50No, don't quote me on that, that's off the record.

0:00:59 > 0:01:02# There may be trouble ahead

0:01:03 > 0:01:09# But while there's moonlight and music and love and romance

0:01:10 > 0:01:14# Let's face the music and dance

0:01:14 > 0:01:20# Let's face the music and dance. #

0:01:22 > 0:01:25Right. Yeah, the roof was lifted and lowered

0:01:25 > 0:01:26into place over the weekend...

0:01:26 > 0:01:28It's Monday morning at the offices

0:01:28 > 0:01:32of the London Twenty Twelve Olympic Deliverance Commission in London.

0:01:32 > 0:01:34- Hi, how you doing?- Morning. Hi.

0:01:34 > 0:01:38For Head of Deliverance, Ian Fletcher, it's the start of another busy week.

0:01:44 > 0:01:48- This doesn't seem to be working. Could you just let me in? - You have your PIN number?

0:01:48 > 0:01:49What PIN number? I don't have a PIN number.

0:01:49 > 0:01:54- You just swipe it, but it's not working.- Who are you seeing? - I'm not seeing anyone. I'm me.

0:01:54 > 0:01:55Let me see, please.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00Ian Fletcher.

0:02:00 > 0:02:03No, there's no point in phoning me, I'm not there.

0:02:03 > 0:02:05I'm here. I can't get in.

0:02:05 > 0:02:06Hello. This is reception.

0:02:06 > 0:02:08I have Ian Fletcher here with me.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11Sally, it's me. Can you just get him to let me in?

0:02:11 > 0:02:14OK, OK, OK. Thank you.

0:02:16 > 0:02:19She is coming. If you'd like to take a seat?

0:02:20 > 0:02:23It's not the best start to the morning.

0:02:23 > 0:02:26Hang on, wait a minute, wait a minute.

0:02:26 > 0:02:27Either it's three athletes to a toilet

0:02:27 > 0:02:29or three toilets to an athlete. Someone's got to know that.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32But Personal Assistant Sally Owen has come out

0:02:32 > 0:02:34to assist Ian personally.

0:02:34 > 0:02:35Thanks, Sally. You're a star.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37- Not a problem. Shall I carry your bike?- Thanks.

0:02:37 > 0:02:40So, is there a default PIN, do you know?

0:02:40 > 0:02:42Yes. It's 2112.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45- Twenty One Twelve? Is that a joke? - It's the IT department's idea of a joke.

0:02:45 > 0:02:48- Right.- It's when they think we'll be ready for the Games.

0:02:48 > 0:02:49Right. Funny, funny, funny.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59- Oh, and Boris Johnson left a message.- Oh, yes? What about?

0:02:59 > 0:03:02- I'm not really sure, really.- Did it sound like I need to call him back?

0:03:02 > 0:03:04Well, it was quite a lot of "Gosh" and "Piffle" and I think

0:03:04 > 0:03:07- the end might have been Latin. - Right. I think I'll leave that.

0:03:07 > 0:03:10- Hopefully, he'll have blown himself out.- OK. And your wife phoned.

0:03:10 > 0:03:13- She said could you...- Yes, right. - ..Phone her?- OK, thanks, yes.

0:03:13 > 0:03:16I think one worry was if we had separate bins for extruded

0:03:16 > 0:03:19plastics as well we'd be up to eight different types of recycling bin.

0:03:19 > 0:03:22I mean if he wants be a Twenty Twelve Brand Ambassador

0:03:22 > 0:03:24his route is Strictly Come Dancing.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26- There is no short cut here. - The other thing is there are only seven colours.

0:03:26 > 0:03:29OK, so here's the thing. I don't care what he thinks he's worth.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31If he won't do it, Kriss Akabusi will, and that applies to anything.

0:03:31 > 0:03:35- I think there are actually only seven colours, basically.- Right. OK. If we can make a start.

0:03:35 > 0:03:40For this Monday morning steering meeting, Ian is joined by Head of Infrastructure, Graham Hitchins,

0:03:40 > 0:03:45Head of Sustainability, Kay Hope, and Head of Contracts, Nick Jowett, as well by Head of Brand,

0:03:45 > 0:03:49Siobhan Sharpe from PR company Perfect Curve.

0:03:49 > 0:03:54- Right, before we start, was I the only person who couldn't get in this morning?- No, you were not.

0:03:54 > 0:03:57- I couldn't get in either. - It's all very well, "Take a seat."

0:03:57 > 0:04:00I said to him, "I've already got a seat, in my office."

0:04:00 > 0:04:02I'm supposed to have yet another PIN number in my life.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05- Well, I've I already reset mine. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, security.

0:04:05 > 0:04:07I can't see how it makes anything any more secure.

0:04:07 > 0:04:11Right, basically, right, what it is, it's just ramping up security levels, yeah?

0:04:11 > 0:04:16Fortunately for the meeting, Graham Hitchins is happy to explain that the new access protocols

0:04:16 > 0:04:20are part of a series of triggered security system upgrades

0:04:20 > 0:04:24between now and 2012 - in this case from code brown to code blue.

0:04:24 > 0:04:28OK, so that's all good. Now, first up this morning, as I am sure we're all aware,

0:04:28 > 0:04:33work on the foundations of the Aquatics Centre was finally begun over the weekend.

0:04:33 > 0:04:36- Yay!- So that's a great bit of news to start the new week with.

0:04:36 > 0:04:41So, that's another milestone for us. So let's get that message out there as much as we can this week.

0:04:41 > 0:04:43Totally. We go out to press on Wednesday.

0:04:43 > 0:04:47The Steering Meeting is also an opportunity for everyone to share each other's agendas.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50- Any other things this week? - Yes, me. I've got some rather good news.

0:04:50 > 0:04:56- Great, OK.- I can now confirm, and I only found this out officially late on Friday, OK,

0:04:56 > 0:04:59that we will definitely be operating a closed-loop

0:04:59 > 0:05:02waste management system across the entire Olympic site.

0:05:02 > 0:05:06- Excellent. Well, that's...- Yay.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09- That's fantastic news, Kay.- It is, isn't it?- Yeah. Yeah, it's great.

0:05:09 > 0:05:13- Kay, are we still good for Thursday? - Yes, sure. Thursday?

0:05:13 > 0:05:14You've got to do your Vlog for the website some time.

0:05:14 > 0:05:17- Oh, yes, of course. Right. - Don't go shy on me here.

0:05:17 > 0:05:20- That's fine.- Everybody else has done theirs.- No. Yes. Thursday's perfect.

0:05:20 > 0:05:22- And this will be on camera, will it? - Sure. Absolutely.

0:05:22 > 0:05:25- You're good with that? - Yes, absolutely. No, great.

0:05:25 > 0:05:28- This is where Kay Hope goes global. - Yes, good.- Cool.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32Wow, Sally. I think that must be the biggest ever.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35I just thought it might be nice, after the meeting

0:05:35 > 0:05:37- I could live for a week on that. - But with the meeting barely over,

0:05:37 > 0:05:40the first of the week's challenges arrives suddenly out of nowhere.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42So, Martin Soper called, from site.

0:05:42 > 0:05:45- Right. What did he want? - He wants you to call him back.

0:05:45 > 0:05:48Right. It can't be the Japanese knotweed still, surely.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50- Also, there was a phone call for you from your wife.- Yes, I know.

0:05:50 > 0:05:53- Tell her I'm doing it.- Right.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55Right.

0:05:58 > 0:06:01Martin, hi. How are you?

0:06:01 > 0:06:03Right.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05Right.

0:06:07 > 0:06:09You're joking!

0:06:09 > 0:06:13Senior Construction Engineer Martin Soper has phoned with some

0:06:13 > 0:06:17unexpected news from the Olympic Park site. And he's not joking.

0:06:17 > 0:06:20Apparently, they've found some sort of bones on the site of the

0:06:20 > 0:06:26Aquatics Centre and some guy from the British Archaeological Society has got very excited, apparently.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28Which, frankly, sounds like the last thing we need.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30Shall I have that? Thanks.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32You haven't been drinking that, have you?

0:06:32 > 0:06:35- No, I haven't, no.- Right. Well, let's hope this guy's wrong.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38Let's hope it's just a murder or something.

0:06:43 > 0:06:48I'm just so totally excited about this because I know how busy you are.

0:06:48 > 0:06:51Meanwhile, back across town at Perfect Curve, Head of Brand Siobhan

0:06:51 > 0:06:56- Sharpe has called in composer Ben Hooper for a meeting.- OK.

0:06:56 > 0:07:00So we have got about three seconds to produce an association in the

0:07:00 > 0:07:03brain that's going to be strong, unique and permanent, yeah?

0:07:03 > 0:07:05# Duh duh duh duh. #

0:07:05 > 0:07:10Yeah, well, obviously that's the Intel jingle, so we can't use those four notes in that sequence.

0:07:10 > 0:07:11OK, sure. OK, here's the thing.

0:07:11 > 0:07:14OK, what we can do is we choose four different notes.

0:07:14 > 0:07:19She's keen that London Twenty Twelve should have its own 'sonic branding' or 'audio logo'.

0:07:19 > 0:07:21Like, da dah dah.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24Yeah. Shall I just take you through what I was thinking?

0:07:26 > 0:07:30- Yeah. OK.- OK, cool. All right, so

0:07:30 > 0:07:34musically it's already a pretty crowded market place out there.

0:07:34 > 0:07:35It's like, OK,

0:07:35 > 0:07:38we've got audio logos now, Intel, Direct Line.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40Like I've said to Siobhan, you can have your sonic branding,

0:07:40 > 0:07:44that's great, as long as the money comes out of your budget, fine.

0:07:44 > 0:07:48Head of Contracts Nick Jowett isn't quite so enthusiastic about the idea.

0:07:48 > 0:07:51When I was a kid we had no sonic branding. If you asked for sonic

0:07:51 > 0:07:53branding you got a clip round the ear and I don't care who you are.

0:07:53 > 0:07:57This, right, is the Olympic Games, it's not a face cream.

0:07:57 > 0:08:01- Na-ah.- So, how to take the medium and do something with it

0:08:01 > 0:08:04that's never been heard before.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06- OK. So, what we do... - Right. Shall I just...

0:08:06 > 0:08:08Yeah, OK.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12MONOTONE JINGLE PLAYS

0:08:14 > 0:08:16Don't say anything.

0:08:16 > 0:08:17I will play it again.

0:08:19 > 0:08:21MONOTONE JINGLE PLAYS AGAIN

0:08:22 > 0:08:24So, it's like...

0:08:24 > 0:08:27One note. Yeah, exactly.

0:08:27 > 0:08:29- Right.- You see, what we're listening to here is rhythm.

0:08:29 > 0:08:33It's energy. It's pace. It's the pulse of the world's greatest city.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36It's London Two Thousand and Twelve.

0:08:36 > 0:08:40- Holy shit. Oh, my God, I love it. Can I hear it again?- Yes.

0:08:40 > 0:08:43MONOTONE JINGLE PLAYS AGAIN

0:08:43 > 0:08:44Can I hear it again?

0:08:47 > 0:08:49MONOTONE JINGLE PLAYS AGAIN

0:08:51 > 0:08:52Can I hear it again?

0:08:52 > 0:08:55MONOTONE JINGLE PLAYS AGAIN

0:08:55 > 0:08:57I love it. Can I just hear it one more time?

0:08:59 > 0:09:01MONOTONE JINGLE PLAYS AGAIN

0:09:01 > 0:09:04If I tell you that just whilst we've been waiting for you here I've found

0:09:04 > 0:09:08- a bone mirror handle and what looks like part of a cheese press.- Really?

0:09:08 > 0:09:09And that's just me with my own foot.

0:09:09 > 0:09:12- Right.- On the site of the Aquatics Centre at the Olympic Park,

0:09:12 > 0:09:14Ian is with archaeologist

0:09:14 > 0:09:18Richard Watson and Senior Construction Engineer Martin Soper.

0:09:18 > 0:09:21He's the man who knows where the bodies are buried.

0:09:21 > 0:09:25- In this case, literally.- This is unlikely to be an ordinary find.

0:09:25 > 0:09:29- Right, is it?- Yeah, because where you've got cheese you've nearly always got a very early settlement.

0:09:29 > 0:09:31- Right. Martin? - This is very exciting.

0:09:31 > 0:09:33For all we know we could be standing on a third Colchester here.

0:09:33 > 0:09:36Right. Right, I have to ask, where's the second Colchester?

0:09:36 > 0:09:38- St Albans.- Right. Martin, where we're standing now...

0:09:38 > 0:09:42- OK, well, if you can imagine the main competition pool over there. - Right, yeah.

0:09:42 > 0:09:46Well, where we're standing now is more or less dead centre of the competition diving pool.

0:09:46 > 0:09:49- Right. When are we going in here? - We should have been in here weeks ago, obviously.

0:09:49 > 0:09:52I mean we could be looking at the end of the week.

0:09:52 > 0:09:56OK. Well, the good news is it looks like you've got a couple of days to do your worst. So, that's all good.

0:09:56 > 0:09:59I'm sorry. I don't think that's very funny.

0:09:59 > 0:10:01You do realise we're standing on protected ground here.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04Right.

0:10:04 > 0:10:08For Ian, the Aquatics Centre has suddenly gone from being the week's

0:10:08 > 0:10:11good news story to being a mass grave, which isn't what he wanted.

0:10:11 > 0:10:12No, I mean, it's all good.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15Of course, it would have to be the Aquatics Centre.

0:10:15 > 0:10:17First thing is we'll have to delay all the press stuff now.

0:10:17 > 0:10:21Presumably, is that where Siobhan Sharpe comes in as Head of Brand?

0:10:21 > 0:10:24- Yes, I think that's almost inevitable.- Right. Yes.

0:10:25 > 0:10:29Yeah, basically, you've got a million extra people flying in to London

0:10:29 > 0:10:30over a two week period, yeah?

0:10:30 > 0:10:32You've got a finite amount of sky.

0:10:32 > 0:10:36After fighting his way back to the office through London traffic,

0:10:36 > 0:10:39it's time for Ian to meet Head of Infrastructure Graham Hitchins

0:10:39 > 0:10:43to talk about traffic of a different kind, this time of the airborne variety.

0:10:43 > 0:10:49Right, one idea is you bring them in over places like Dungeness or even Sizewell, further round here.

0:10:49 > 0:10:50- Well, here.- Right.- OK?

0:10:50 > 0:10:53Anywhere that they've already got nuclear power stations,

0:10:53 > 0:10:56so you know there's not going be anyone for miles around.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58- Want one?- No, thanks.

0:10:58 > 0:11:01It's his job to come up with a recommendation on the sensitive

0:11:01 > 0:11:05issue of civil aviation flight paths during the period of the Games.

0:11:05 > 0:11:08I think if you want to make the security services really jumpy

0:11:08 > 0:11:13these days, surely the best way of doing it is to fly a succession of passenger aircraft from all over the

0:11:13 > 0:11:16world one after the other over the top of nuclear power stations.

0:11:16 > 0:11:17Right. Yeah.

0:11:17 > 0:11:21- So, what are the other ideas? - Yeah. The what?

0:11:21 > 0:11:23You said one idea was to do that.

0:11:23 > 0:11:26Yeah. Exactly, yeah.

0:11:26 > 0:11:28Right.

0:11:28 > 0:11:32OK. Well, as I said, I'm seeing TFL and BAA on Friday, so...

0:11:32 > 0:11:34Yeah that's no worries. That's no problem, fine.

0:11:34 > 0:11:36- This Friday?- Yes.

0:11:36 > 0:11:38Sorted.

0:11:54 > 0:11:56Sorry, could you let me in, please?

0:11:56 > 0:11:58You must have the PIN number.

0:11:58 > 0:12:02- Yes, I know, but I've forgotten it. - It's Tuesday morning.- Can't you just let me in?

0:12:02 > 0:12:04If you'd like to take a seat?

0:12:04 > 0:12:10Are you sure you want to re enter your PIN number? Yes, I bloody am.

0:12:10 > 0:12:16Having finally got in, Kay has decided to change her security PIN number to one she can remember.

0:12:16 > 0:12:19I should never have chosen that date in the first place.

0:12:19 > 0:12:20It was a bad omen.

0:12:20 > 0:12:22- So what... - God, coffee's great, isn't it?

0:12:22 > 0:12:26- Yes. So what..?- I know it's bad for you, but sod it.- Yeah. What actually was the date?

0:12:26 > 0:12:28- What was it? - If you don't mind me asking.

0:12:28 > 0:12:32- Well, apparently it was Friday, 31st April.- Ummm...

0:12:32 > 0:12:36I mean I still think it was March, but apparently I'm wrong. Anyway, it wouldn't let me in anyway.

0:12:36 > 0:12:38So, what happened on that date?

0:12:38 > 0:12:40- I don't really want to talk about that.- OK.

0:12:40 > 0:12:42I'm not giving him that power over me. I'm sorry.

0:12:42 > 0:12:44Right. OK, good, so...

0:12:44 > 0:12:46I actually feel sorry for him.

0:12:46 > 0:12:48- Right.- And her.

0:12:48 > 0:12:52Wait till she has to stay up half the night playing Mortal Kombat Armageddon.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54- Right.- That'll sort her out.

0:12:54 > 0:12:58And to make matters worse I had a phone call from Dick Whittington's office this morning.

0:12:58 > 0:13:02- Oh, right. What did he want? - Ian has got a meeting with Chief Construction Engineer Martin Soper.

0:13:02 > 0:13:06It's been confirmed that the fragments found on the foundations of the Aquatics Centre

0:13:06 > 0:13:09are part of a Roman burial mound and Ian has asked Martin

0:13:09 > 0:13:12to take him through some of the available options.

0:13:12 > 0:13:16Another option would be to look at ways of incorporating

0:13:16 > 0:13:20the burial site architecturally into the design of the diving pool itself.

0:13:20 > 0:13:22- Right.- Obviously, this would have major cost implications.

0:13:22 > 0:13:25- Yeah.- And we'd need to get the architect on side.

0:13:25 > 0:13:28- You know, she'd go off like a bloody rocket.- It would be very tricky.

0:13:28 > 0:13:32Plus, I think we've gone past the point where it's achievable anyway in the time frame we're looking at.

0:13:32 > 0:13:35Right. Is the common thread linking all these options

0:13:35 > 0:13:37that they're not really options at all?

0:13:37 > 0:13:40In engineering terms, there are always options.

0:13:40 > 0:13:44In the end what it often actually boils down to is finding the one that works.

0:13:44 > 0:13:48OK, I'm going to pretend you didn't say that because it's meaningless.

0:13:48 > 0:13:52- OK.- Hello, I'm Kay Hope and I'm Head of Sustainability.

0:13:52 > 0:13:54OK, wait. I think it's gone to sleep.

0:13:54 > 0:13:57I can't be that boring, surely. I've hardly started.

0:13:57 > 0:13:59OK, thank you.

0:14:05 > 0:14:07- Shall I...?- Go, go.

0:14:07 > 0:14:12Hello, I'm Kay Hope, and I'm Head of Sustainability for London Twenty Twelve. Hello.

0:14:12 > 0:14:17Head of Brand Siobhan Sharpe has arrived to help Kay prepare for her videoblog, or Vlog.

0:14:17 > 0:14:22She's due to record it for real at the Olympic site on Thursday.

0:14:22 > 0:14:24...a catalyst for the development of waste processing

0:14:24 > 0:14:29- facilities across East London, and beyond that setting new benchmarks...- OK, wait. Stop.- What?

0:14:29 > 0:14:32Er... these are the Olympics, OK?

0:14:32 > 0:14:33They're games, right?

0:14:33 > 0:14:36So I think we can have a little bit of fun here, you know?

0:14:36 > 0:14:39Yes. Actually sustainability is not really about fun.

0:14:39 > 0:14:42- It's actually pretty serious.- Yeah, but you're quite excited, right?

0:14:42 > 0:14:46- Am I?- Well, you've got the best job in the world, and you can't wait to tell us about it.

0:14:46 > 0:14:50- Right, OK. Yes. OK.- OK?

0:14:50 > 0:14:54- Hello...- Kay, wait, wait. Back up. Back up.- OK, sorry.

0:14:54 > 0:14:56OK, and... go Kay.

0:14:56 > 0:14:57OK. Hello.

0:14:57 > 0:15:01I'm Kay Hope, and I'm head of sustainability for London 2012.

0:15:01 > 0:15:03Erm...

0:15:03 > 0:15:05- No, keep going, keep going.- OK.

0:15:05 > 0:15:08Yes. The Olympic Park will be the most...

0:15:08 > 0:15:10The greenest new large urban...

0:15:10 > 0:15:11No, the largest new green...

0:15:11 > 0:15:15The Olympic Park will be the newest large green urban space in urban...

0:15:15 > 0:15:18- I'm going to start again. - OK, that's cool. You go, girl.

0:15:18 > 0:15:20Hello. I... No, sorry...

0:15:21 > 0:15:26Hello, I'm Kay Hope, and I'm head of sustainability for London 2012.

0:15:26 > 0:15:28- You so are. - The 2012 Games will transform...

0:15:28 > 0:15:30'At school I was Head Girl.

0:15:30 > 0:15:32'I hated it. I hated speaking in public.

0:15:32 > 0:15:35'I could feel myself going red.

0:15:35 > 0:15:37'I never wanted to be Miss Goody Goody.

0:15:37 > 0:15:39'I wanted to be Lucy Parker.'

0:15:39 > 0:15:42- And who was Lucy Parker? - Who was Lucy Parker?

0:15:42 > 0:15:47- Well, OK, if you can imagine a cross between Kristin Scott-Thomas and Emmanuelle Beart...- Right.

0:15:47 > 0:15:49- If you can imagine that.- Yes, I can.

0:15:49 > 0:15:52- Well, basically that was Lucy Parker.- Right.

0:15:52 > 0:15:54She had an affair with Mr Williams. Everybody knew.

0:15:54 > 0:16:00- She wasn't that clever, never did any work, but always somehow managed to...- Yeah, yeah.

0:16:00 > 0:16:04But as well as that, the physical legacy that the... Er...

0:16:05 > 0:16:07Can we stop this now, please.

0:16:07 > 0:16:09- OK.- Thank you. I hoped to have learnt it by now.

0:16:09 > 0:16:12- Obviously by Thursday I'll be much more...- OK, Kay.

0:16:12 > 0:16:15- What?- Kay, you're a terrific person, OK, you're out there.

0:16:15 > 0:16:19You're, you know, recycling, you're saving the planet,

0:16:19 > 0:16:22- you know, it's major stuff. - Well...- But...

0:16:22 > 0:16:25we've got a great show here and we've got to sell it.

0:16:25 > 0:16:27You make a vlog, you put it out there,

0:16:27 > 0:16:30you want people to be thinking... "Hey, she's cool.

0:16:30 > 0:16:32"I want to be like her.

0:16:32 > 0:16:34- "I want a piece of what she's got." - Right.

0:16:34 > 0:16:37You know, so you've got to be thinking... "Hey, I'm cool.

0:16:37 > 0:16:40- "I want to be like me. I want a piece of what I've got."- Well, er...

0:16:40 > 0:16:45And if your head's not telling you that, maybe you're in the wrong head.

0:16:45 > 0:16:47OK?

0:16:47 > 0:16:49- Yes.- Yeah?

0:16:57 > 0:17:01So the Roman burial pit is here, right under what's currently

0:17:01 > 0:17:04the competition diving pool, which is 6.5 metres deep.

0:17:04 > 0:17:06- And there's our problem.- Right.

0:17:06 > 0:17:10It's Wednesday, and senior construction engineer,

0:17:10 > 0:17:11Martin Soper, is back.

0:17:11 > 0:17:15Would it help if we made the diving pool shallower? Can we do that?

0:17:15 > 0:17:17That could have some knock-on effects for the divers.

0:17:17 > 0:17:21OK, so then we've got the 50 metre competition pool here....

0:17:21 > 0:17:26This time he's come armed with a deliberately scaled down model of the Aquatic Centre itself.

0:17:26 > 0:17:28...and the Urban Water Hole at the centre of it all.

0:17:28 > 0:17:30The Urban Water Hole?

0:17:30 > 0:17:33Yes. That's at the centre of the whole design concept.

0:17:33 > 0:17:35- We can get rid of that for a kick off.- No, no.

0:17:35 > 0:17:38- Sorry, that's the architect's vision.- Architects' vision?

0:17:38 > 0:17:42Well, it's the first thing she saw when she thought about the building.

0:17:42 > 0:17:45I think the first thing I'd have seen is a swimming pool.

0:17:45 > 0:17:52- Let's not go there.- OK, so we could just swap the diving pool directly with the back of house facilities.

0:17:52 > 0:17:55'No, it's all good, I'm not worried. It's easy to feel daunted

0:17:55 > 0:17:58'by the sheer scale of what we're involved in here, but day to day,

0:17:58 > 0:18:01'all you can do in life is focus on what's in front of you that day,

0:18:01 > 0:18:05'and either deal with it, or find some other way of dealing with it.'

0:18:05 > 0:18:08Take the diving pool and put it where the back of house facilities were.

0:18:08 > 0:18:11- OK.- Actually, where were the back of house facilities?

0:18:11 > 0:18:15Er... I don't know, it's all gone a bit...

0:18:15 > 0:18:17Well, let's say they were here.

0:18:17 > 0:18:22OK, so then you put the warm up pool...

0:18:24 > 0:18:25..here.

0:18:29 > 0:18:32I mean, that basically works, doesn't it?

0:18:32 > 0:18:34I think it might do.

0:18:35 > 0:18:37So what have I got here then?

0:18:37 > 0:18:39I know what that is. That's the urban water hole.

0:18:39 > 0:18:41- Oh, right.- Oh, fuck.

0:18:41 > 0:18:44I mean, I'd call her myself, obviously,

0:18:44 > 0:18:48- but it's probably better coming from you.- Yeah. Yeah.

0:18:53 > 0:18:56It's Thursday morning and Kay Hope is on her way out

0:18:56 > 0:18:59to the Olympic Park to record her video diary

0:18:59 > 0:19:02or video blog or vlog for the website.

0:19:02 > 0:19:04I got Kieran to test me on my lines last night.

0:19:04 > 0:19:09It's gonna be great. We are looking at a surgical strike here. We go in, one take, and then we're outta there.

0:19:09 > 0:19:11But then he had this brilliant idea -

0:19:11 > 0:19:16I record it all onto his MP3 player, have the ear things in my ear when I'm actually doing the piece,

0:19:16 > 0:19:19then all I have to is follow my own words and say what I hear in my ear.

0:19:19 > 0:19:21- Right.- I don't have to remember it.

0:19:21 > 0:19:23- That's all right, isn't it? - Sure.

0:19:23 > 0:19:25- If you're happier. - He taught me how to use it.

0:19:25 > 0:19:28Sure. That's totally cool.

0:19:28 > 0:19:30He's such a great kid.

0:19:30 > 0:19:31Sure. Totally.

0:19:33 > 0:19:36What it is, yeah, I've looked at all the flight data.

0:19:36 > 0:19:39I've looked at all the modelling, and it looks like in the end

0:19:39 > 0:19:42it comes down to either Bournemouth, or Portsmouth.

0:19:42 > 0:19:46Meanwhile Graham Hitchins is making progress with his own issues.

0:19:46 > 0:19:48It's not easy. I mean, with Portsmouth...

0:19:48 > 0:19:52there is an argument for routing extra flights in over ugly places,

0:19:52 > 0:19:56- because we know fewer people are likely to complain.- Right. Yes.

0:19:56 > 0:19:59OK? And then Bournemouth... This is interesting.

0:19:59 > 0:20:03I was there a few weekends ago, actual fact, and I was surprised.

0:20:03 > 0:20:05I took the... Do you want one?

0:20:05 > 0:20:08Erm, I'm not really... I mean, just pretend, carry on as if...

0:20:08 > 0:20:10Oh, OK, whatever. Yeah, I took the Alfa...

0:20:10 > 0:20:12- Actually, what flavour? - Red onion chutney.

0:20:12 > 0:20:15- Oh, no, thanks.- Right. I took the Alfa down there for a run.

0:20:15 > 0:20:17Not a bad lunch. I quite liked it.

0:20:17 > 0:20:19- You took the what down there? - The Alfa.

0:20:19 > 0:20:22I've got an Alfa Romeo Alfetta.

0:20:22 > 0:20:25- 1981 GTV.- Right.

0:20:25 > 0:20:27I know, it's mad. It's totally mad.

0:20:27 > 0:20:30Yeah. So what was it that surprised you about Bournemouth?

0:20:30 > 0:20:34Well, the main thing was is that I didn't think I was going to go there.

0:20:34 > 0:20:36I was supposed to be going to, like, the New Forest,

0:20:36 > 0:20:39but I had a bit of a brake fluid issue on the M27.

0:20:41 > 0:20:43- OK, we all set here?- Sure.- Kay?

0:20:43 > 0:20:47Yes, I'm... Just a minute. Hang on. Yes, right.

0:20:47 > 0:20:50Out at the Olympic site, Kay is under starter's orders.

0:20:50 > 0:20:52And...action.

0:20:52 > 0:20:55Hello, I'm Kay Hope and I'm head of sustainability.

0:20:55 > 0:20:57- Woah! Cut. - What, sorry?- You're too loud.

0:20:57 > 0:20:58- You're way too loud.- Is it too loud?

0:20:58 > 0:21:02- You've got a microphone. - Hang on, sorry. Hang on a minute.

0:21:02 > 0:21:03That's better.

0:21:03 > 0:21:06- I couldn't really hear.- I'm just saying relax. Take your time.

0:21:06 > 0:21:08Oh, yes, sure. Yes, OK. Good.

0:21:08 > 0:21:09- OK, this is your moment.- Yes.

0:21:09 > 0:21:11You call it when you feel good.

0:21:11 > 0:21:13I think that's it now. Sorry about that.

0:21:13 > 0:21:17- OK, are we good? - OK, hang on a minute. OK.

0:21:17 > 0:21:18- Right. Good.- OK.

0:21:18 > 0:21:21And... action.

0:21:26 > 0:21:27There's nothing at all there now.

0:21:27 > 0:21:30- Right. OK. - Sorry about this, it's a bit...

0:21:30 > 0:21:33- No, just whenever you're good. - Hang on. I think that's...

0:21:33 > 0:21:38- No. Still nothing.- Right.- Keiren said something last night about shuffling but I wasn't really...

0:21:38 > 0:21:42- Just give us a sign when you're good to go.- They're all so good with digital stuff, but...

0:21:42 > 0:21:45- Have you got your earpiece in? - What?- Your earpiece?

0:21:45 > 0:21:49Ah, no! Of course. Thank you. Stupid.

0:21:49 > 0:21:51Sorry about that. Sorry, everybody.

0:21:51 > 0:21:53- OK.- Honestly. Right.

0:21:53 > 0:21:56OK...

0:21:56 > 0:21:59Hang on, just a minute, just a minute. Right.

0:21:59 > 0:22:02- OK. Good.- Yep.

0:22:02 > 0:22:05And...action.

0:22:07 > 0:22:10- Right.- OK, we're rolling here. So any time you want to join in.

0:22:10 > 0:22:14I think I might have actually now got Snoop Doggy Dog...

0:22:14 > 0:22:17- Jesus!- Hang on. Ah, right. I think that's better.

0:22:17 > 0:22:19OK, are we back on here?

0:22:19 > 0:22:21I think this is DJ Fresh,

0:22:21 > 0:22:24but I think I'm going in the right direction.

0:22:32 > 0:22:35It's funny how things happen, innit. I was in this noodle place.

0:22:35 > 0:22:37It's just a Thai place just round the corner.

0:22:37 > 0:22:39I go there when I can't be bothered...

0:22:39 > 0:22:41- Yeah. - And I wasn't thinking of anything.

0:22:41 > 0:22:44I wasn't even that hungry. Suddenly that hit me.

0:22:44 > 0:22:47Head of infrastructure, Graham Hitchins, has finally

0:22:47 > 0:22:50had a breakthrough moment with the flight paths.

0:22:50 > 0:22:54First of all, forget this whole bloody Bournemouth-Portsmouth thing.

0:22:54 > 0:22:56Bring 'em in over Southampton.

0:22:56 > 0:23:00- Oh, right.- Right. Then what you do is, you take 'em up the M3, OK?

0:23:00 > 0:23:03- Hang on. Up the M3? - Yeah, like in the war, right.

0:23:03 > 0:23:06They follow the path of the M3. I mean, it's a bloody great road.

0:23:06 > 0:23:11It's already ruined the environment, so that's all right. Have you eaten all of these?

0:23:11 > 0:23:14- I'm not really...- Bloody hell. - Just pretend I'm not here.

0:23:14 > 0:23:16So, you take 'em up the M3 to the M25.

0:23:16 > 0:23:21If they're inbound to Gatwick, you turn right on the M25 anti-clockwise,

0:23:21 > 0:23:22then follow the M23 South.

0:23:22 > 0:23:25If they're inbound to Heathrow, turn left, take the M25 North,

0:23:25 > 0:23:28- then back up the M4 to Heathrow, yeah?- Right.

0:23:28 > 0:23:30- What do you think?- Er, well...

0:23:30 > 0:23:34Or I was thinking you could turn them off earlier, up the A322 to the M4.

0:23:34 > 0:23:36I mean, that's not a bad road.

0:23:36 > 0:23:38- Then you turn right.- Right. Yeah.

0:23:38 > 0:23:40I think that's probably better, isn't it.

0:23:40 > 0:23:43Bloody good here when everyone else has buggered off.

0:23:50 > 0:23:53It's not negative. I'm saying we've actually

0:23:53 > 0:23:56- added something to the whole design. - All changes are improvements, Ian.

0:23:56 > 0:23:58I know. So what we've added is the idea

0:23:58 > 0:24:01- of not having an urban water hole. - Now you're talking.

0:24:01 > 0:24:06It's Friday, and Siobhan Sharpe has come over to the Olympic Deliverance Commission

0:24:06 > 0:24:09to go through the delayed Aquatics Centre press release.

0:24:09 > 0:24:13OK, because what's new, what we've got to sell is the Roman stuff.

0:24:13 > 0:24:14- OK.- OK. So Roman stuff. Roman stuff.

0:24:14 > 0:24:19- Right.- OK, wait, wait, wait. It's the Romans that founded the Olympics, right?

0:24:19 > 0:24:23- No, I think I'm right in saying that the Olympics is a Greek thing. - Really?- I think so.

0:24:23 > 0:24:27That's a shame, because that would've been a slam dunk. Er, OK.

0:24:27 > 0:24:29Ideas.

0:24:29 > 0:24:32Ideas, thoughts...

0:24:32 > 0:24:36OK. I suppose we could say something like... we've got a statement

0:24:36 > 0:24:39about modernity, but it's a statement founded on the past.

0:24:39 > 0:24:43- Holy shit. - We've left the past untouched, we've banked it for future generations.

0:24:43 > 0:24:46- OK, I love this. - So basically well done us.

0:24:46 > 0:24:49So now you've moved everything around, the remains are going to end up...?

0:24:49 > 0:24:52They'll be under the floor of the entrance lobby, here.

0:24:52 > 0:24:55- You mean the Legacy Zone.- The... exactly, yes. The Legacy Zone.

0:24:55 > 0:24:57- This is so fun.- It is, isn't it.

0:24:57 > 0:25:02In buoyant mood, Siobhan is keen to take Ian through a modification to the 2012 home page.

0:25:02 > 0:25:05Go on, click on it. Just click on any link on the page.

0:25:05 > 0:25:08- Right.- Go on, do it. - Yes, all right. Thank you.- Sure.

0:25:08 > 0:25:10MUSIC PLAYS

0:25:10 > 0:25:12- Oh, right. - How cool is that.- It's pretty cool.

0:25:12 > 0:25:15- Duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh.- Yes. - London 2012.- Yes.

0:25:15 > 0:25:17MUSIC PLAYS

0:25:17 > 0:25:21- Duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh. - Yes. No, it's good, Siobhan.

0:25:21 > 0:25:22I love this job. I so love it.

0:25:22 > 0:25:27'Hello, I'm Kay Hope, and I'm head of sustainability for London 2012.'

0:25:27 > 0:25:29Why is she shouting?

0:25:29 > 0:25:33- 'The Olympic Park...'- Kay's got a big message. Big message, big voice.

0:25:33 > 0:25:37'Our journey towards a two Planet 1012 and Twelve starts...'

0:25:37 > 0:25:40For Ian Fletcher, it's been another pretty good week.

0:25:40 > 0:25:42It's been pretty good week I think.

0:25:42 > 0:25:45You could say we've taken two steps forwards, one step backwards.

0:25:45 > 0:25:47So you've taken one step forwards.

0:25:47 > 0:25:50- What? Yes, if you like. And as I say maybe one step backwards.- Right.

0:25:50 > 0:25:53So we're roughly where we were to start with, really.

0:25:53 > 0:25:54So no, that's all good.

0:26:00 > 0:26:03Oh. They lock automatically at seven.

0:26:03 > 0:26:06- Right. - Well, where's the bloody keypad?

0:26:06 > 0:26:08Oh, this is...

0:26:08 > 0:26:10Has it, er... Right.

0:26:15 > 0:26:17Hi, this is Ian Fletcher of ODC.

0:26:17 > 0:26:20I can't seem to get out of the office, so could...

0:26:20 > 0:26:21Fletcher. Ian Fletcher.
