This programme contains some strong language.

0:00:020:00:05

I'm sure it would mean a lot to him, but, you know, get a therapist, go to bed earlier.

0:00:050:00:08

We've already been talking to Channel Four about Olympic Come Dine With Me,

0:00:080:00:13

which is so exciting.

0:00:130:00:14

Yeah, they're saying

0:00:140:00:16

Virginia Wade, Geoffrey Boycott, Ellen MacArthur and Colin Jackson

0:00:160:00:21

and I'm, like, it's such a terrific idea guys,

0:00:210:00:23

but I don't know who any of those people are.

0:00:230:00:26

I'm sorry, but Gary Linekar does not embody the Olympic spirit,

0:00:260:00:29

I don't care who you are.

0:00:290:00:30

Well, stay off the crisps for a kick off.

0:00:300:00:34

Yeah, but I don't know who they are, that's what I'm saying.

0:00:340:00:36

Yes, Danny Boyle will direct the Opening Ceremony.

0:00:360:00:39

No, there won't be any dancing heroin addicts.

0:00:390:00:42

-Yeah, but I don't know who they are.

-No, there won't be any zombies, unless you count the Mayor!

0:00:420:00:47

No, don't quote me on that, that's off the record.

0:00:470:00:50

# There may be trouble ahead

0:00:590:01:02

# But while there's moonlight and music and love and romance

0:01:030:01:09

# Let's face the music and dance

0:01:100:01:14

# Let's face the music and dance. #

0:01:140:01:20

Right. Yeah, the roof was lifted and lowered

0:01:220:01:25

into place over the weekend...

0:01:250:01:26

It's Monday morning at the offices

0:01:260:01:28

of the London Twenty Twelve Olympic Deliverance Commission in London.

0:01:280:01:32

-Hi, how you doing?

-Morning. Hi.

0:01:320:01:34

For Head of Deliverance, Ian Fletcher, it's the start of another busy week.

0:01:340:01:38

-This doesn't seem to be working. Could you just let me in?

-You have your PIN number?

0:01:440:01:48

What PIN number? I don't have a PIN number.

0:01:480:01:49

-You just swipe it, but it's not working.

-Who are you seeing?

-I'm not seeing anyone. I'm me.

0:01:490:01:54

Let me see, please.

0:01:540:01:55

Ian Fletcher.

0:01:580:02:00

No, there's no point in phoning me, I'm not there.

0:02:000:02:03

I'm here. I can't get in.

0:02:030:02:05

Hello. This is reception.

0:02:050:02:06

I have Ian Fletcher here with me.

0:02:060:02:08

Sally, it's me. Can you just get him to let me in?

0:02:080:02:11

OK, OK, OK. Thank you.

0:02:110:02:14

She is coming. If you'd like to take a seat?

0:02:160:02:19

It's not the best start to the morning.

0:02:200:02:23

Hang on, wait a minute, wait a minute.

0:02:230:02:26

Either it's three athletes to a toilet

0:02:260:02:27

or three toilets to an athlete. Someone's got to know that.

0:02:270:02:29

But Personal Assistant Sally Owen has come out

0:02:290:02:32

to assist Ian personally.

0:02:320:02:34

Thanks, Sally. You're a star.

0:02:340:02:35

-Not a problem. Shall I carry your bike?

-Thanks.

0:02:350:02:37

So, is there a default PIN, do you know?

0:02:370:02:40

Yes. It's 2112.

0:02:400:02:42

-Twenty One Twelve? Is that a joke?

-It's the IT department's idea of a joke.

0:02:420:02:45

-Right.

-It's when they think we'll be ready for the Games.

0:02:450:02:48

Right. Funny, funny, funny.

0:02:480:02:49

-Oh, and Boris Johnson left a message.

-Oh, yes? What about?

0:02:560:02:59

-I'm not really sure, really.

-Did it sound like I need to call him back?

0:02:590:03:02

Well, it was quite a lot of "Gosh" and "Piffle" and I think

0:03:020:03:04

-the end might have been Latin.

-Right. I think I'll leave that.

0:03:040:03:07

-Hopefully, he'll have blown himself out.

-OK. And your wife phoned.

0:03:070:03:10

-She said could you...

-Yes, right.

-..Phone her?

-OK, thanks, yes.

0:03:100:03:13

I think one worry was if we had separate bins for extruded

0:03:130:03:16

plastics as well we'd be up to eight different types of recycling bin.

0:03:160:03:19

I mean if he wants be a Twenty Twelve Brand Ambassador

0:03:190:03:22

his route is Strictly Come Dancing.

0:03:220:03:24

-There is no short cut here.

-The other thing is there are only seven colours.

0:03:240:03:26

OK, so here's the thing. I don't care what he thinks he's worth.

0:03:260:03:29

If he won't do it, Kriss Akabusi will, and that applies to anything.

0:03:290:03:31

-I think there are actually only seven colours, basically.

-Right. OK. If we can make a start.

0:03:310:03:35

For this Monday morning steering meeting, Ian is joined by Head of Infrastructure, Graham Hitchins,

0:03:350:03:40

Head of Sustainability, Kay Hope, and Head of Contracts, Nick Jowett, as well by Head of Brand,

0:03:400:03:45

Siobhan Sharpe from PR company Perfect Curve.

0:03:450:03:49

-Right, before we start, was I the only person who couldn't get in this morning?

-No, you were not.

0:03:490:03:54

-I couldn't get in either.

-It's all very well, "Take a seat."

0:03:540:03:57

I said to him, "I've already got a seat, in my office."

0:03:570:04:00

I'm supposed to have yet another PIN number in my life.

0:04:000:04:02

- Well, I've I already reset mine. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, security.

0:04:020:04:05

I can't see how it makes anything any more secure.

0:04:050:04:07

Right, basically, right, what it is, it's just ramping up security levels, yeah?

0:04:070:04:11

Fortunately for the meeting, Graham Hitchins is happy to explain that the new access protocols

0:04:110:04:16

are part of a series of triggered security system upgrades

0:04:160:04:20

between now and 2012 - in this case from code brown to code blue.

0:04:200:04:24

OK, so that's all good. Now, first up this morning, as I am sure we're all aware,

0:04:240:04:28

work on the foundations of the Aquatics Centre was finally begun over the weekend.

0:04:280:04:33

-Yay!

-So that's a great bit of news to start the new week with.

0:04:330:04:36

So, that's another milestone for us. So let's get that message out there as much as we can this week.

0:04:360:04:41

Totally. We go out to press on Wednesday.

0:04:410:04:43

The Steering Meeting is also an opportunity for everyone to share each other's agendas.

0:04:430:04:47

-Any other things this week?

-Yes, me. I've got some rather good news.

0:04:470:04:50

-Great, OK.

-I can now confirm, and I only found this out officially late on Friday, OK,

0:04:500:04:56

that we will definitely be operating a closed-loop

0:04:560:04:59

waste management system across the entire Olympic site.

0:04:590:05:02

-Excellent. Well, that's...

-Yay.

0:05:020:05:06

-That's fantastic news, Kay.

-It is, isn't it?

-Yeah. Yeah, it's great.

0:05:060:05:09

-Kay, are we still good for Thursday?

-Yes, sure. Thursday?

0:05:090:05:13

You've got to do your Vlog for the website some time.

0:05:130:05:14

-Oh, yes, of course. Right.

-Don't go shy on me here.

0:05:140:05:17

-That's fine.

-Everybody else has done theirs.

-No. Yes. Thursday's perfect.

0:05:170:05:20

-And this will be on camera, will it?

-Sure. Absolutely.

0:05:200:05:22

-You're good with that?

-Yes, absolutely. No, great.

0:05:220:05:25

-This is where Kay Hope goes global.

-Yes, good.

-Cool.

0:05:250:05:28

Wow, Sally. I think that must be the biggest ever.

0:05:300:05:32

I just thought it might be nice, after the meeting

0:05:320:05:35

-I could live for a week on that.

-But with the meeting barely over,

0:05:350:05:37

the first of the week's challenges arrives suddenly out of nowhere.

0:05:370:05:40

So, Martin Soper called, from site.

0:05:400:05:42

-Right. What did he want?

-He wants you to call him back.

0:05:420:05:45

Right. It can't be the Japanese knotweed still, surely.

0:05:450:05:48

-Also, there was a phone call for you from your wife.

-Yes, I know.

0:05:480:05:50

-Tell her I'm doing it.

-Right.

0:05:500:05:53

Right.

0:05:530:05:55

Martin, hi. How are you?

0:05:580:06:01

Right.

0:06:010:06:03

Right.

0:06:030:06:05

You're joking!

0:06:070:06:09

Senior Construction Engineer Martin Soper has phoned with some

0:06:090:06:13

unexpected news from the Olympic Park site. And he's not joking.

0:06:130:06:17

Apparently, they've found some sort of bones on the site of the

0:06:170:06:20

Aquatics Centre and some guy from the British Archaeological Society has got very excited, apparently.

0:06:200:06:26

Which, frankly, sounds like the last thing we need.

0:06:260:06:28

Shall I have that? Thanks.

0:06:280:06:30

You haven't been drinking that, have you?

0:06:300:06:32

-No, I haven't, no.

-Right. Well, let's hope this guy's wrong.

0:06:320:06:35

Let's hope it's just a murder or something.

0:06:350:06:38

I'm just so totally excited about this because I know how busy you are.

0:06:430:06:48

Meanwhile, back across town at Perfect Curve, Head of Brand Siobhan

0:06:480:06:51

-Sharpe has called in composer Ben Hooper for a meeting.

-OK.

0:06:510:06:56

So we have got about three seconds to produce an association in the

0:06:560:07:00

brain that's going to be strong, unique and permanent, yeah?

0:07:000:07:03

# Duh duh duh duh. #

0:07:030:07:05

Yeah, well, obviously that's the Intel jingle, so we can't use those four notes in that sequence.

0:07:050:07:10

OK, sure. OK, here's the thing.

0:07:100:07:11

OK, what we can do is we choose four different notes.

0:07:110:07:14

She's keen that London Twenty Twelve should have its own 'sonic branding' or 'audio logo'.

0:07:140:07:19

Like, da dah dah.

0:07:190:07:21

Yeah. Shall I just take you through what I was thinking?

0:07:210:07:24

-Yeah. OK.

-OK, cool. All right, so

0:07:260:07:30

musically it's already a pretty crowded market place out there.

0:07:300:07:34

It's like, OK,

0:07:340:07:35

we've got audio logos now, Intel, Direct Line.

0:07:350:07:38

Like I've said to Siobhan, you can have your sonic branding,

0:07:380:07:40

that's great, as long as the money comes out of your budget, fine.

0:07:400:07:44

Head of Contracts Nick Jowett isn't quite so enthusiastic about the idea.

0:07:440:07:48

When I was a kid we had no sonic branding. If you asked for sonic

0:07:480:07:51

branding you got a clip round the ear and I don't care who you are.

0:07:510:07:53

This, right, is the Olympic Games, it's not a face cream.

0:07:530:07:57

-Na-ah.

-So, how to take the medium and do something with it

0:07:570:08:01

that's never been heard before.

0:08:010:08:04

-OK. So, what we do...

-Right. Shall I just...

0:08:040:08:06

Yeah, OK.

0:08:060:08:08

MONOTONE JINGLE PLAYS

0:08:100:08:12

Don't say anything.

0:08:140:08:16

I will play it again.

0:08:160:08:17

MONOTONE JINGLE PLAYS AGAIN

0:08:190:08:21

So, it's like...

0:08:220:08:24

One note. Yeah, exactly.

0:08:240:08:27

-Right.

-You see, what we're listening to here is rhythm.

0:08:270:08:29

It's energy. It's pace. It's the pulse of the world's greatest city.

0:08:290:08:33

It's London Two Thousand and Twelve.

0:08:330:08:36

-Holy shit. Oh, my God, I love it. Can I hear it again?

-Yes.

0:08:360:08:40

MONOTONE JINGLE PLAYS AGAIN

0:08:400:08:43

Can I hear it again?

0:08:430:08:44

MONOTONE JINGLE PLAYS AGAIN

0:08:470:08:49

Can I hear it again?

0:08:510:08:52

MONOTONE JINGLE PLAYS AGAIN

0:08:520:08:55

I love it. Can I just hear it one more time?

0:08:550:08:57

MONOTONE JINGLE PLAYS AGAIN

0:08:590:09:01

If I tell you that just whilst we've been waiting for you here I've found

0:09:010:09:04

-a bone mirror handle and what looks like part of a cheese press.

-Really?

0:09:040:09:08

And that's just me with my own foot.

0:09:080:09:09

-Right.

-On the site of the Aquatics Centre at the Olympic Park,

0:09:090:09:12

Ian is with archaeologist

0:09:120:09:14

Richard Watson and Senior Construction Engineer Martin Soper.

0:09:140:09:18

He's the man who knows where the bodies are buried.

0:09:180:09:21

-In this case, literally.

-This is unlikely to be an ordinary find.

0:09:210:09:25

-Right, is it?

-Yeah, because where you've got cheese you've nearly always got a very early settlement.

0:09:250:09:29

-Right. Martin?

-This is very exciting.

0:09:290:09:31

For all we know we could be standing on a third Colchester here.

0:09:310:09:33

Right. Right, I have to ask, where's the second Colchester?

0:09:330:09:36

-St Albans.

-Right. Martin, where we're standing now...

0:09:360:09:38

-OK, well, if you can imagine the main competition pool over there.

-Right, yeah.

0:09:380:09:42

Well, where we're standing now is more or less dead centre of the competition diving pool.

0:09:420:09:46

-Right. When are we going in here?

-We should have been in here weeks ago, obviously.

0:09:460:09:49

I mean we could be looking at the end of the week.

0:09:490:09:52

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

0:09:520:09:56

I'm sorry. I don't think that's very funny.

0:09:560:09:59

You do realise we're standing on protected ground here.

0:09:590:10:01

Right.

0:10:020:10:04

For Ian, the Aquatics Centre has suddenly gone from being the week's

0:10:040:10:08

good news story to being a mass grave, which isn't what he wanted.

0:10:080:10:11

No, I mean, it's all good.

0:10:110:10:12

Of course, it would have to be the Aquatics Centre.

0:10:120:10:15

First thing is we'll have to delay all the press stuff now.

0:10:150:10:17

Presumably, is that where Siobhan Sharpe comes in as Head of Brand?

0:10:170:10:21

-Yes, I think that's almost inevitable.

-Right. Yes.

0:10:210:10:24

Yeah, basically, you've got a million extra people flying in to London

0:10:250:10:29

over a two week period, yeah?

0:10:290:10:30

You've got a finite amount of sky.

0:10:300:10:32

After fighting his way back to the office through London traffic,

0:10:320:10:36

it's time for Ian to meet Head of Infrastructure Graham Hitchins

0:10:360:10:39

to talk about traffic of a different kind, this time of the airborne variety.

0:10:390:10:43

Right, one idea is you bring them in over places like Dungeness or even Sizewell, further round here.

0:10:430:10:49

-Well, here.

-Right.

-OK?

0:10:490:10:50

Anywhere that they've already got nuclear power stations,

0:10:500:10:53

so you know there's not going be anyone for miles around.

0:10:530:10:56

-Want one?

-No, thanks.

0:10:560:10:58

It's his job to come up with a recommendation on the sensitive

0:10:580:11:01

issue of civil aviation flight paths during the period of the Games.

0:11:010:11:05

I think if you want to make the security services really jumpy

0:11:050:11:08

these days, surely the best way of doing it is to fly a succession of passenger aircraft from all over the

0:11:080:11:13

world one after the other over the top of nuclear power stations.

0:11:130:11:16

Right. Yeah.

0:11:160:11:17

-So, what are the other ideas?

-Yeah. The what?

0:11:170:11:21

You said one idea was to do that.

0:11:210:11:23

Yeah. Exactly, yeah.

0:11:230:11:26

Right.

0:11:260:11:28

OK. Well, as I said, I'm seeing TFL and BAA on Friday, so...

0:11:280:11:32

Yeah that's no worries. That's no problem, fine.

0:11:320:11:34

-This Friday?

-Yes.

0:11:340:11:36

Sorted.

0:11:360:11:38

Sorry, could you let me in, please?

0:11:540:11:56

You must have the PIN number.

0:11:560:11:58

-Yes, I know, but I've forgotten it.

-It's Tuesday morning.

-Can't you just let me in?

0:11:580:12:02

If you'd like to take a seat?

0:12:020:12:04

Are you sure you want to re enter your PIN number? Yes, I bloody am.

0:12:040:12:10

Having finally got in, Kay has decided to change her security PIN number to one she can remember.

0:12:100:12:16

I should never have chosen that date in the first place.

0:12:160:12:19

It was a bad omen.

0:12:190:12:20

-So what...

-God, coffee's great, isn't it?

0:12:200:12:22

-Yes. So what..?

-I know it's bad for you, but sod it.

-Yeah. What actually was the date?

0:12:220:12:26

-What was it?

-If you don't mind me asking.

0:12:260:12:28

-Well, apparently it was Friday, 31st April.

-Ummm...

0:12:280:12:32

I mean I still think it was March, but apparently I'm wrong. Anyway, it wouldn't let me in anyway.

0:12:320:12:36

So, what happened on that date?

0:12:360:12:38

-I don't really want to talk about that.

-OK.

0:12:380:12:40

I'm not giving him that power over me. I'm sorry.

0:12:400:12:42

Right. OK, good, so...

0:12:420:12:44

I actually feel sorry for him.

0:12:440:12:46

-Right.

-And her.

0:12:460:12:48

Wait till she has to stay up half the night playing Mortal Kombat Armageddon.

0:12:480:12:52

-Right.

-That'll sort her out.

0:12:520:12:54

And to make matters worse I had a phone call from Dick Whittington's office this morning.

0:12:540:12:58

-Oh, right. What did he want?

-Ian has got a meeting with Chief Construction Engineer Martin Soper.

0:12:580:13:02

It's been confirmed that the fragments found on the foundations of the Aquatics Centre

0:13:020:13:06

are part of a Roman burial mound and Ian has asked Martin

0:13:060:13:09

to take him through some of the available options.

0:13:090:13:12

Another option would be to look at ways of incorporating

0:13:120:13:16

the burial site architecturally into the design of the diving pool itself.

0:13:160:13:20

-Right.

-Obviously, this would have major cost implications.

0:13:200:13:22

-Yeah.

-And we'd need to get the architect on side.

0:13:220:13:25

-You know, she'd go off like a bloody rocket.

-It would be very tricky.

0:13:250:13:28

Plus, I think we've gone past the point where it's achievable anyway in the time frame we're looking at.

0:13:280:13:32

Right. Is the common thread linking all these options

0:13:320:13:35

that they're not really options at all?

0:13:350:13:37

In engineering terms, there are always options.

0:13:370:13:40

In the end what it often actually boils down to is finding the one that works.

0:13:400:13:44

OK, I'm going to pretend you didn't say that because it's meaningless.

0:13:440:13:48

-OK.

-Hello, I'm Kay Hope and I'm Head of Sustainability.

0:13:480:13:52

OK, wait. I think it's gone to sleep.

0:13:520:13:54

I can't be that boring, surely. I've hardly started.

0:13:540:13:57

OK, thank you.

0:13:570:13:59

-Shall I...?

-Go, go.

0:14:050:14:07

Hello, I'm Kay Hope, and I'm Head of Sustainability for London Twenty Twelve. Hello.

0:14:070:14:12

Head of Brand Siobhan Sharpe has arrived to help Kay prepare for her videoblog, or Vlog.

0:14:120:14:17

She's due to record it for real at the Olympic site on Thursday.

0:14:170:14:22

...a catalyst for the development of waste processing

0:14:220:14:24

-facilities across East London, and beyond that setting new benchmarks...

-OK, wait. Stop.

-What?

0:14:240:14:29

Er... these are the Olympics, OK?

0:14:290:14:32

They're games, right?

0:14:320:14:33

So I think we can have a little bit of fun here, you know?

0:14:330:14:36

Yes. Actually sustainability is not really about fun.

0:14:360:14:39

-It's actually pretty serious.

-Yeah, but you're quite excited, right?

0:14:390:14:42

-Am I?

-Well, you've got the best job in the world, and you can't wait to tell us about it.

0:14:420:14:46

-Right, OK. Yes. OK.

-OK?

0:14:460:14:50

-Hello...

-Kay, wait, wait. Back up. Back up.

-OK, sorry.

0:14:500:14:54

OK, and... go Kay.

0:14:540:14:56

OK. Hello.

0:14:560:14:57

I'm Kay Hope, and I'm head of sustainability for London 2012.

0:14:570:15:01

Erm...

0:15:010:15:03

-No, keep going, keep going.

-OK.

0:15:030:15:05

Yes. The Olympic Park will be the most...

0:15:050:15:08

The greenest new large urban...

0:15:080:15:10

No, the largest new green...

0:15:100:15:11

The Olympic Park will be the newest large green urban space in urban...

0:15:110:15:15

-I'm going to start again.

-OK, that's cool. You go, girl.

0:15:150:15:18

Hello. I... No, sorry...

0:15:180:15:20

Hello, I'm Kay Hope, and I'm head of sustainability for London 2012.

0:15:210:15:26

-You so are.

-The 2012 Games will transform...

0:15:260:15:28

'At school I was Head Girl.

0:15:280:15:30

'I hated it. I hated speaking in public.

0:15:300:15:32

'I could feel myself going red.

0:15:320:15:35

'I never wanted to be Miss Goody Goody.

0:15:350:15:37

'I wanted to be Lucy Parker.'

0:15:370:15:39

-And who was Lucy Parker?

-Who was Lucy Parker?

0:15:390:15:42

-Well, OK, if you can imagine a cross between Kristin Scott-Thomas and Emmanuelle Beart...

-Right.

0:15:420:15:47

-If you can imagine that.

-Yes, I can.

0:15:470:15:49

-Well, basically that was Lucy Parker.

-Right.

0:15:490:15:52

She had an affair with Mr Williams. Everybody knew.

0:15:520:15:54

-She wasn't that clever, never did any work, but always somehow managed to...

-Yeah, yeah.

0:15:540:16:00

But as well as that, the physical legacy that the... Er...

0:16:000:16:04

Can we stop this now, please.

0:16:050:16:07

-OK.

-Thank you. I hoped to have learnt it by now.

0:16:070:16:09

-Obviously by Thursday I'll be much more...

-OK, Kay.

0:16:090:16:12

-What?

-Kay, you're a terrific person, OK, you're out there.

0:16:120:16:15

You're, you know, recycling, you're saving the planet,

0:16:150:16:19

-you know, it's major stuff.

-Well...

-But...

0:16:190:16:22

we've got a great show here and we've got to sell it.

0:16:220:16:25

You make a vlog, you put it out there,

0:16:250:16:27

you want people to be thinking... "Hey, she's cool.

0:16:270:16:30

"I want to be like her.

0:16:300:16:32

-"I want a piece of what she's got."

-Right.

0:16:320:16:34

You know, so you've got to be thinking... "Hey, I'm cool.

0:16:340:16:37

-"I want to be like me. I want a piece of what I've got."

-Well, er...

0:16:370:16:40

And if your head's not telling you that, maybe you're in the wrong head.

0:16:400:16:45

OK?

0:16:450:16:47

-Yes.

-Yeah?

0:16:470:16:49

So the Roman burial pit is here, right under what's currently

0:16:570:17:01

the competition diving pool, which is 6.5 metres deep.

0:17:010:17:04

-And there's our problem.

-Right.

0:17:040:17:06

It's Wednesday, and senior construction engineer,

0:17:060:17:10

Martin Soper, is back.

0:17:100:17:11

Would it help if we made the diving pool shallower? Can we do that?

0:17:110:17:15

That could have some knock-on effects for the divers.

0:17:150:17:17

OK, so then we've got the 50 metre competition pool here....

0:17:170:17:21

This time he's come armed with a deliberately scaled down model of the Aquatic Centre itself.

0:17:210:17:26

...and the Urban Water Hole at the centre of it all.

0:17:260:17:28

The Urban Water Hole?

0:17:280:17:30

Yes. That's at the centre of the whole design concept.

0:17:300:17:33

-We can get rid of that for a kick off.

-No, no.

0:17:330:17:35

-Sorry, that's the architect's vision.

-Architects' vision?

0:17:350:17:38

Well, it's the first thing she saw when she thought about the building.

0:17:380:17:42

I think the first thing I'd have seen is a swimming pool.

0:17:420:17:45

-Let's not go there.

-OK, so we could just swap the diving pool directly with the back of house facilities.

0:17:450:17:52

'No, it's all good, I'm not worried. It's easy to feel daunted

0:17:520:17:55

'by the sheer scale of what we're involved in here, but day to day,

0:17:550:17:58

'all you can do in life is focus on what's in front of you that day,

0:17:580:18:01

'and either deal with it, or find some other way of dealing with it.'

0:18:010:18:05

Take the diving pool and put it where the back of house facilities were.

0:18:050:18:08

-OK.

-Actually, where were the back of house facilities?

0:18:080:18:11

Er... I don't know, it's all gone a bit...

0:18:110:18:15

Well, let's say they were here.

0:18:150:18:17

OK, so then you put the warm up pool...

0:18:170:18:22

..here.

0:18:240:18:25

I mean, that basically works, doesn't it?

0:18:290:18:32

I think it might do.

0:18:320:18:34

So what have I got here then?

0:18:350:18:37

I know what that is. That's the urban water hole.

0:18:370:18:39

-Oh, right.

-Oh, fuck.

0:18:390:18:41

I mean, I'd call her myself, obviously,

0:18:410:18:44

-but it's probably better coming from you.

-Yeah. Yeah.

0:18:440:18:48

It's Thursday morning and Kay Hope is on her way out

0:18:530:18:56

to the Olympic Park to record her video diary

0:18:560:18:59

or video blog or vlog for the website.

0:18:590:19:02

I got Kieran to test me on my lines last night.

0:19:020:19:04

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

0:19:040:19:09

But then he had this brilliant idea -

0:19:090:19:11

I record it all onto his MP3 player, have the ear things in my ear when I'm actually doing the piece,

0:19:110:19:16

then all I have to is follow my own words and say what I hear in my ear.

0:19:160:19:19

-Right.

-I don't have to remember it.

0:19:190:19:21

-That's all right, isn't it?

-Sure.

0:19:210:19:23

-If you're happier.

-He taught me how to use it.

0:19:230:19:25

Sure. That's totally cool.

0:19:250:19:28

He's such a great kid.

0:19:280:19:30

Sure. Totally.

0:19:300:19:31

What it is, yeah, I've looked at all the flight data.

0:19:330:19:36

I've looked at all the modelling, and it looks like in the end

0:19:360:19:39

it comes down to either Bournemouth, or Portsmouth.

0:19:390:19:42

Meanwhile Graham Hitchins is making progress with his own issues.

0:19:420:19:46

It's not easy. I mean, with Portsmouth...

0:19:460:19:48

there is an argument for routing extra flights in over ugly places,

0:19:480:19:52

-because we know fewer people are likely to complain.

-Right. Yes.

0:19:520:19:56

OK? And then Bournemouth... This is interesting.

0:19:560:19:59

I was there a few weekends ago, actual fact, and I was surprised.

0:19:590:20:03

I took the... Do you want one?

0:20:030:20:05

Erm, I'm not really... I mean, just pretend, carry on as if...

0:20:050:20:08

Oh, OK, whatever. Yeah, I took the Alfa...

0:20:080:20:10

-Actually, what flavour?

-Red onion chutney.

0:20:100:20:12

-Oh, no, thanks.

-Right. I took the Alfa down there for a run.

0:20:120:20:15

Not a bad lunch. I quite liked it.

0:20:150:20:17

-You took the what down there?

-The Alfa.

0:20:170:20:19

I've got an Alfa Romeo Alfetta.

0:20:190:20:22

-1981 GTV.

-Right.

0:20:220:20:25

I know, it's mad. It's totally mad.

0:20:250:20:27

Yeah. So what was it that surprised you about Bournemouth?

0:20:270:20:30

Well, the main thing was is that I didn't think I was going to go there.

0:20:300:20:34

I was supposed to be going to, like, the New Forest,

0:20:340:20:36

but I had a bit of a brake fluid issue on the M27.

0:20:360:20:39

-OK, we all set here?

-Sure.

-Kay?

0:20:410:20:43

Yes, I'm... Just a minute. Hang on. Yes, right.

0:20:430:20:47

Out at the Olympic site, Kay is under starter's orders.

0:20:470:20:50

And...action.

0:20:500:20:52

Hello, I'm Kay Hope and I'm head of sustainability.

0:20:520:20:55

-Woah! Cut.

-What, sorry?

-You're too loud.

0:20:550:20:57

-You're way too loud.

-Is it too loud?

0:20:570:20:58

-You've got a microphone.

-Hang on, sorry. Hang on a minute.

0:20:580:21:02

That's better.

0:21:020:21:03

-I couldn't really hear.

-I'm just saying relax. Take your time.

0:21:030:21:06

Oh, yes, sure. Yes, OK. Good.

0:21:060:21:08

-OK, this is your moment.

-Yes.

0:21:080:21:09

You call it when you feel good.

0:21:090:21:11

I think that's it now. Sorry about that.

0:21:110:21:13

-OK, are we good?

-OK, hang on a minute. OK.

0:21:130:21:17

-Right. Good.

-OK.

0:21:170:21:18

And... action.

0:21:180:21:21

There's nothing at all there now.

0:21:260:21:27

-Right. OK.

-Sorry about this, it's a bit...

0:21:270:21:30

-No, just whenever you're good.

-Hang on. I think that's...

0:21:300:21:33

-No. Still nothing.

-Right.

-Keiren said something last night about shuffling but I wasn't really...

0:21:330:21:38

-Just give us a sign when you're good to go.

-They're all so good with digital stuff, but...

0:21:380:21:42

-Have you got your earpiece in?

-What?

-Your earpiece?

0:21:420:21:45

Ah, no! Of course. Thank you. Stupid.

0:21:450:21:49

Sorry about that. Sorry, everybody.

0:21:490:21:51

-OK.

-Honestly. Right.

0:21:510:21:53

OK...

0:21:530:21:56

Hang on, just a minute, just a minute. Right.

0:21:560:21:59

-OK. Good.

-Yep.

0:21:590:22:02

And...action.

0:22:020:22:05

-Right.

-OK, we're rolling here. So any time you want to join in.

0:22:070:22:10

I think I might have actually now got Snoop Doggy Dog...

0:22:100:22:14

-Jesus!

-Hang on. Ah, right. I think that's better.

0:22:140:22:17

OK, are we back on here?

0:22:170:22:19

I think this is DJ Fresh,

0:22:190:22:21

but I think I'm going in the right direction.

0:22:210:22:24

It's funny how things happen, innit. I was in this noodle place.

0:22:320:22:35

It's just a Thai place just round the corner.

0:22:350:22:37

I go there when I can't be bothered...

0:22:370:22:39

-Yeah.

-And I wasn't thinking of anything.

0:22:390:22:41

I wasn't even that hungry. Suddenly that hit me.

0:22:410:22:44

Head of infrastructure, Graham Hitchins, has finally

0:22:440:22:47

had a breakthrough moment with the flight paths.

0:22:470:22:50

First of all, forget this whole bloody Bournemouth-Portsmouth thing.

0:22:500:22:54

Bring 'em in over Southampton.

0:22:540:22:56

-Oh, right.

-Right. Then what you do is, you take 'em up the M3, OK?

0:22:560:23:00

-Hang on. Up the M3?

-Yeah, like in the war, right.

0:23:000:23:03

They follow the path of the M3. I mean, it's a bloody great road.

0:23:030:23:06

It's already ruined the environment, so that's all right. Have you eaten all of these?

0:23:060:23:11

-I'm not really...

-Bloody hell.

-Just pretend I'm not here.

0:23:110:23:14

So, you take 'em up the M3 to the M25.

0:23:140:23:16

If they're inbound to Gatwick, you turn right on the M25 anti-clockwise,

0:23:160:23:21

then follow the M23 South.

0:23:210:23:22

If they're inbound to Heathrow, turn left, take the M25 North,

0:23:220:23:25

-then back up the M4 to Heathrow, yeah?

-Right.

0:23:250:23:28

-What do you think?

-Er, well...

0:23:280:23:30

Or I was thinking you could turn them off earlier, up the A322 to the M4.

0:23:300:23:34

I mean, that's not a bad road.

0:23:340:23:36

-Then you turn right.

-Right. Yeah.

0:23:360:23:38

I think that's probably better, isn't it.

0:23:380:23:40

Bloody good here when everyone else has buggered off.

0:23:400:23:43

It's not negative. I'm saying we've actually

0:23:500:23:53

-added something to the whole design.

-All changes are improvements, Ian.

0:23:530:23:56

I know. So what we've added is the idea

0:23:560:23:58

-of not having an urban water hole.

-Now you're talking.

0:23:580:24:01

It's Friday, and Siobhan Sharpe has come over to the Olympic Deliverance Commission

0:24:010:24:06

to go through the delayed Aquatics Centre press release.

0:24:060:24:09

OK, because what's new, what we've got to sell is the Roman stuff.

0:24:090:24:13

-OK.

-OK. So Roman stuff. Roman stuff.

0:24:130:24:14

-Right.

-OK, wait, wait, wait. It's the Romans that founded the Olympics, right?

0:24:140:24:19

-No, I think I'm right in saying that the Olympics is a Greek thing.

-Really?

-I think so.

0:24:190:24:23

That's a shame, because that would've been a slam dunk. Er, OK.

0:24:230:24:27

Ideas.

0:24:270:24:29

Ideas, thoughts...

0:24:290:24:32

OK. I suppose we could say something like... we've got a statement

0:24:320:24:36

about modernity, but it's a statement founded on the past.

0:24:360:24:39

-Holy shit.

-We've left the past untouched, we've banked it for future generations.

0:24:390:24:43

-OK, I love this.

-So basically well done us.

0:24:430:24:46

So now you've moved everything around, the remains are going to end up...?

0:24:460:24:49

They'll be under the floor of the entrance lobby, here.

0:24:490:24:52

-You mean the Legacy Zone.

-The... exactly, yes. The Legacy Zone.

0:24:520:24:55

-This is so fun.

-It is, isn't it.

0:24:550:24:57

In buoyant mood, Siobhan is keen to take Ian through a modification to the 2012 home page.

0:24:570:25:02

Go on, click on it. Just click on any link on the page.

0:25:020:25:05

-Right.

-Go on, do it.

-Yes, all right. Thank you.

-Sure.

0:25:050:25:08

MUSIC PLAYS

0:25:080:25:10

-Oh, right.

-How cool is that.

-It's pretty cool.

0:25:100:25:12

-Duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh.

-Yes.

-London 2012.

-Yes.

0:25:120:25:15

MUSIC PLAYS

0:25:150:25:17

-Duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh.

-Yes. No, it's good, Siobhan.

0:25:170:25:21

I love this job. I so love it.

0:25:210:25:22

'Hello, I'm Kay Hope, and I'm head of sustainability for London 2012.'

0:25:220:25:27

Why is she shouting?

0:25:270:25:29

-'The Olympic Park...'

-Kay's got a big message. Big message, big voice.

0:25:290:25:33

'Our journey towards a two Planet 1012 and Twelve starts...'

0:25:330:25:37

For Ian Fletcher, it's been another pretty good week.

0:25:370:25:40

It's been pretty good week I think.

0:25:400:25:42

You could say we've taken two steps forwards, one step backwards.

0:25:420:25:45

So you've taken one step forwards.

0:25:450:25:47

-What? Yes, if you like. And as I say maybe one step backwards.

-Right.

0:25:470:25:50

So we're roughly where we were to start with, really.

0:25:500:25:53

So no, that's all good.

0:25:530:25:54

Oh. They lock automatically at seven.

0:26:000:26:03

-Right.

-Well, where's the bloody keypad?

0:26:030:26:06

Oh, this is...

0:26:060:26:08

Has it, er... Right.

0:26:080:26:10

Hi, this is Ian Fletcher of ODC.

0:26:150:26:17

I can't seem to get out of the office, so could...

0:26:170:26:20

Fletcher. Ian Fletcher.

0:26:200:26:21

Yeah, hi. Look, the doors are locked but there doesn't seem to be a...

0:26:210:26:26

No, I'm not visiting anyone, I'm trying to get out. Hello?

0:26:260:26:31

PHONE RINGS

0:26:310:26:32

No, there's no point in...

0:26:320:26:34

PHONE CONTINUES TO RING

0:26:340:26:36

Hello?

0:26:360:26:37

Hello, yes.

0:26:440:26:45

Now look, this is...

0:26:450:26:47

No, this is me, I can't get out. Could you...

0:26:470:26:51

Hello?

0:26:510:26:53

No, I don't want to sit down, I want to get out.

0:26:530:26:57

Hello?

0:26:570:26:59

So what do we mean when we talk about raising the bar?

0:27:080:27:13

OK, well, it's funny you should ask that.

0:27:150:27:18

Top Question. Now we have all been...

0:27:180:27:21

Oh, OK.

0:27:210:27:23

That guy walks on to the stage with his laptop, we're dead history.

0:27:230:27:26

But what...

0:27:260:27:28

And the higher you jump, the higher you have to...

0:27:280:27:31

Unless you raise that bar, then you're never going to get over it.

0:27:330:27:37

I'm not going to just sack him.

0:27:370:27:38

He's a really whole hearted guy. He tries hard. Never gives up.

0:27:380:27:41

Naomi. And where do you live, Naomi?

0:27:410:27:43

I don't want to know that obviously...
