This programme contains some strong language. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:05 | |
I'm sure it would mean a lot to him, but, you know, get a therapist, go to bed earlier. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:08 | |
We've already been talking to Channel Four about Olympic Come Dine With Me, | 0:00:08 | 0:00:13 | |
which is so exciting. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:14 | |
Yeah, they're saying | 0:00:14 | 0:00:16 | |
Virginia Wade, Geoffrey Boycott, Ellen MacArthur and Colin Jackson | 0:00:16 | 0:00:21 | |
and I'm, like, it's such a terrific idea guys, | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
but I don't know who any of those people are. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
I'm sorry, but Gary Linekar does not embody the Olympic spirit, | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
I don't care who you are. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:30 | |
Well, stay off the crisps for a kick off. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:34 | |
Yeah, but I don't know who they are, that's what I'm saying. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
Yes, Danny Boyle will direct the Opening Ceremony. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
No, there won't be any dancing heroin addicts. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
-Yeah, but I don't know who they are. -No, there won't be any zombies, unless you count the Mayor! | 0:00:42 | 0:00:47 | |
No, don't quote me on that, that's off the record. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
# There may be trouble ahead | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
# But while there's moonlight and music and love and romance | 0:01:03 | 0:01:09 | |
# Let's face the music and dance | 0:01:10 | 0:01:14 | |
# Let's face the music and dance. # | 0:01:14 | 0:01:20 | |
Right. Yeah, the roof was lifted and lowered | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
into place over the weekend... | 0:01:25 | 0:01:26 | |
It's Monday morning at the offices | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
of the London Twenty Twelve Olympic Deliverance Commission in London. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:32 | |
-Hi, how you doing? -Morning. Hi. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
For Head of Deliverance, Ian Fletcher, it's the start of another busy week. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:38 | |
-This doesn't seem to be working. Could you just let me in? -You have your PIN number? | 0:01:44 | 0:01:48 | |
What PIN number? I don't have a PIN number. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:49 | |
-You just swipe it, but it's not working. -Who are you seeing? -I'm not seeing anyone. I'm me. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:54 | |
Let me see, please. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:55 | |
Ian Fletcher. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
No, there's no point in phoning me, I'm not there. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
I'm here. I can't get in. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
Hello. This is reception. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:06 | |
I have Ian Fletcher here with me. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
Sally, it's me. Can you just get him to let me in? | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
OK, OK, OK. Thank you. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
She is coming. If you'd like to take a seat? | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
It's not the best start to the morning. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
Hang on, wait a minute, wait a minute. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
Either it's three athletes to a toilet | 0:02:26 | 0:02:27 | |
or three toilets to an athlete. Someone's got to know that. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
But Personal Assistant Sally Owen has come out | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
to assist Ian personally. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
Thanks, Sally. You're a star. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:35 | |
-Not a problem. Shall I carry your bike? -Thanks. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
So, is there a default PIN, do you know? | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
Yes. It's 2112. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
-Twenty One Twelve? Is that a joke? -It's the IT department's idea of a joke. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
-Right. -It's when they think we'll be ready for the Games. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
Right. Funny, funny, funny. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:49 | |
-Oh, and Boris Johnson left a message. -Oh, yes? What about? | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
-I'm not really sure, really. -Did it sound like I need to call him back? | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
Well, it was quite a lot of "Gosh" and "Piffle" and I think | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
-the end might have been Latin. -Right. I think I'll leave that. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
-Hopefully, he'll have blown himself out. -OK. And your wife phoned. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
-She said could you... -Yes, right. -..Phone her? -OK, thanks, yes. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
I think one worry was if we had separate bins for extruded | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
plastics as well we'd be up to eight different types of recycling bin. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
I mean if he wants be a Twenty Twelve Brand Ambassador | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
his route is Strictly Come Dancing. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
-There is no short cut here. -The other thing is there are only seven colours. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
OK, so here's the thing. I don't care what he thinks he's worth. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
If he won't do it, Kriss Akabusi will, and that applies to anything. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
-I think there are actually only seven colours, basically. -Right. OK. If we can make a start. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:35 | |
For this Monday morning steering meeting, Ian is joined by Head of Infrastructure, Graham Hitchins, | 0:03:35 | 0:03:40 | |
Head of Sustainability, Kay Hope, and Head of Contracts, Nick Jowett, as well by Head of Brand, | 0:03:40 | 0:03:45 | |
Siobhan Sharpe from PR company Perfect Curve. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:49 | |
-Right, before we start, was I the only person who couldn't get in this morning? -No, you were not. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:54 | |
-I couldn't get in either. -It's all very well, "Take a seat." | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
I said to him, "I've already got a seat, in my office." | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
I'm supposed to have yet another PIN number in my life. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:02 | |
- Well, I've I already reset mine. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, security. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
I can't see how it makes anything any more secure. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:07 | |
Right, basically, right, what it is, it's just ramping up security levels, yeah? | 0:04:07 | 0:04:11 | |
Fortunately for the meeting, Graham Hitchins is happy to explain that the new access protocols | 0:04:11 | 0:04:16 | |
are part of a series of triggered security system upgrades | 0:04:16 | 0:04:20 | |
between now and 2012 - in this case from code brown to code blue. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:24 | |
OK, so that's all good. Now, first up this morning, as I am sure we're all aware, | 0:04:24 | 0:04:28 | |
work on the foundations of the Aquatics Centre was finally begun over the weekend. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:33 | |
-Yay! -So that's a great bit of news to start the new week with. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
So, that's another milestone for us. So let's get that message out there as much as we can this week. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:41 | |
Totally. We go out to press on Wednesday. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
The Steering Meeting is also an opportunity for everyone to share each other's agendas. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:47 | |
-Any other things this week? -Yes, me. I've got some rather good news. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
-Great, OK. -I can now confirm, and I only found this out officially late on Friday, OK, | 0:04:50 | 0:04:56 | |
that we will definitely be operating a closed-loop | 0:04:56 | 0:04:59 | |
waste management system across the entire Olympic site. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:02 | |
-Excellent. Well, that's... -Yay. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:06 | |
-That's fantastic news, Kay. -It is, isn't it? -Yeah. Yeah, it's great. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
-Kay, are we still good for Thursday? -Yes, sure. Thursday? | 0:05:09 | 0:05:13 | |
You've got to do your Vlog for the website some time. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:14 | |
-Oh, yes, of course. Right. -Don't go shy on me here. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:17 | |
-That's fine. -Everybody else has done theirs. -No. Yes. Thursday's perfect. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:20 | |
-And this will be on camera, will it? -Sure. Absolutely. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:22 | |
-You're good with that? -Yes, absolutely. No, great. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:25 | |
-This is where Kay Hope goes global. -Yes, good. -Cool. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:28 | |
Wow, Sally. I think that must be the biggest ever. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:32 | |
I just thought it might be nice, after the meeting | 0:05:32 | 0:05:35 | |
-I could live for a week on that. -But with the meeting barely over, | 0:05:35 | 0:05:37 | |
the first of the week's challenges arrives suddenly out of nowhere. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:40 | |
So, Martin Soper called, from site. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:42 | |
-Right. What did he want? -He wants you to call him back. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:45 | |
Right. It can't be the Japanese knotweed still, surely. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:48 | |
-Also, there was a phone call for you from your wife. -Yes, I know. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:50 | |
-Tell her I'm doing it. -Right. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:53 | |
Right. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:55 | |
Martin, hi. How are you? | 0:05:58 | 0:06:01 | |
Right. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:03 | |
Right. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
You're joking! | 0:06:07 | 0:06:09 | |
Senior Construction Engineer Martin Soper has phoned with some | 0:06:09 | 0:06:13 | |
unexpected news from the Olympic Park site. And he's not joking. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:17 | |
Apparently, they've found some sort of bones on the site of the | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
Aquatics Centre and some guy from the British Archaeological Society has got very excited, apparently. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:26 | |
Which, frankly, sounds like the last thing we need. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:28 | |
Shall I have that? Thanks. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:30 | |
You haven't been drinking that, have you? | 0:06:30 | 0:06:32 | |
-No, I haven't, no. -Right. Well, let's hope this guy's wrong. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
Let's hope it's just a murder or something. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
I'm just so totally excited about this because I know how busy you are. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:48 | |
Meanwhile, back across town at Perfect Curve, Head of Brand Siobhan | 0:06:48 | 0:06:51 | |
-Sharpe has called in composer Ben Hooper for a meeting. -OK. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:56 | |
So we have got about three seconds to produce an association in the | 0:06:56 | 0:07:00 | |
brain that's going to be strong, unique and permanent, yeah? | 0:07:00 | 0:07:03 | |
# Duh duh duh duh. # | 0:07:03 | 0:07:05 | |
Yeah, well, obviously that's the Intel jingle, so we can't use those four notes in that sequence. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:10 | |
OK, sure. OK, here's the thing. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:11 | |
OK, what we can do is we choose four different notes. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:14 | |
She's keen that London Twenty Twelve should have its own 'sonic branding' or 'audio logo'. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:19 | |
Like, da dah dah. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:21 | |
Yeah. Shall I just take you through what I was thinking? | 0:07:21 | 0:07:24 | |
-Yeah. OK. -OK, cool. All right, so | 0:07:26 | 0:07:30 | |
musically it's already a pretty crowded market place out there. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:34 | |
It's like, OK, | 0:07:34 | 0:07:35 | |
we've got audio logos now, Intel, Direct Line. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:38 | |
Like I've said to Siobhan, you can have your sonic branding, | 0:07:38 | 0:07:40 | |
that's great, as long as the money comes out of your budget, fine. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:44 | |
Head of Contracts Nick Jowett isn't quite so enthusiastic about the idea. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:48 | |
When I was a kid we had no sonic branding. If you asked for sonic | 0:07:48 | 0:07:51 | |
branding you got a clip round the ear and I don't care who you are. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:53 | |
This, right, is the Olympic Games, it's not a face cream. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:57 | |
-Na-ah. -So, how to take the medium and do something with it | 0:07:57 | 0:08:01 | |
that's never been heard before. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:04 | |
-OK. So, what we do... -Right. Shall I just... | 0:08:04 | 0:08:06 | |
Yeah, OK. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:08 | |
MONOTONE JINGLE PLAYS | 0:08:10 | 0:08:12 | |
Don't say anything. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:16 | |
I will play it again. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:17 | |
MONOTONE JINGLE PLAYS AGAIN | 0:08:19 | 0:08:21 | |
So, it's like... | 0:08:22 | 0:08:24 | |
One note. Yeah, exactly. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:27 | |
-Right. -You see, what we're listening to here is rhythm. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:29 | |
It's energy. It's pace. It's the pulse of the world's greatest city. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:33 | |
It's London Two Thousand and Twelve. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:36 | |
-Holy shit. Oh, my God, I love it. Can I hear it again? -Yes. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:40 | |
MONOTONE JINGLE PLAYS AGAIN | 0:08:40 | 0:08:43 | |
Can I hear it again? | 0:08:43 | 0:08:44 | |
MONOTONE JINGLE PLAYS AGAIN | 0:08:47 | 0:08:49 | |
Can I hear it again? | 0:08:51 | 0:08:52 | |
MONOTONE JINGLE PLAYS AGAIN | 0:08:52 | 0:08:55 | |
I love it. Can I just hear it one more time? | 0:08:55 | 0:08:57 | |
MONOTONE JINGLE PLAYS AGAIN | 0:08:59 | 0:09:01 | |
If I tell you that just whilst we've been waiting for you here I've found | 0:09:01 | 0:09:04 | |
-a bone mirror handle and what looks like part of a cheese press. -Really? | 0:09:04 | 0:09:08 | |
And that's just me with my own foot. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:09 | |
-Right. -On the site of the Aquatics Centre at the Olympic Park, | 0:09:09 | 0:09:12 | |
Ian is with archaeologist | 0:09:12 | 0:09:14 | |
Richard Watson and Senior Construction Engineer Martin Soper. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:18 | |
He's the man who knows where the bodies are buried. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:21 | |
-In this case, literally. -This is unlikely to be an ordinary find. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:25 | |
-Right, is it? -Yeah, because where you've got cheese you've nearly always got a very early settlement. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:29 | |
-Right. Martin? -This is very exciting. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:31 | |
For all we know we could be standing on a third Colchester here. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:33 | |
Right. Right, I have to ask, where's the second Colchester? | 0:09:33 | 0:09:36 | |
-St Albans. -Right. Martin, where we're standing now... | 0:09:36 | 0:09:38 | |
-OK, well, if you can imagine the main competition pool over there. -Right, yeah. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:42 | |
Well, where we're standing now is more or less dead centre of the competition diving pool. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:46 | |
-Right. When are we going in here? -We should have been in here weeks ago, obviously. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
I mean we could be looking at the end of the week. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:52 | |
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. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:56 | |
I'm sorry. I don't think that's very funny. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:59 | |
You do realise we're standing on protected ground here. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:01 | |
Right. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:04 | |
For Ian, the Aquatics Centre has suddenly gone from being the week's | 0:10:04 | 0:10:08 | |
good news story to being a mass grave, which isn't what he wanted. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:11 | |
No, I mean, it's all good. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:12 | |
Of course, it would have to be the Aquatics Centre. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:15 | |
First thing is we'll have to delay all the press stuff now. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:17 | |
Presumably, is that where Siobhan Sharpe comes in as Head of Brand? | 0:10:17 | 0:10:21 | |
-Yes, I think that's almost inevitable. -Right. Yes. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:24 | |
Yeah, basically, you've got a million extra people flying in to London | 0:10:25 | 0:10:29 | |
over a two week period, yeah? | 0:10:29 | 0:10:30 | |
You've got a finite amount of sky. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:32 | |
After fighting his way back to the office through London traffic, | 0:10:32 | 0:10:36 | |
it's time for Ian to meet Head of Infrastructure Graham Hitchins | 0:10:36 | 0:10:39 | |
to talk about traffic of a different kind, this time of the airborne variety. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:43 | |
Right, one idea is you bring them in over places like Dungeness or even Sizewell, further round here. | 0:10:43 | 0:10:49 | |
-Well, here. -Right. -OK? | 0:10:49 | 0:10:50 | |
Anywhere that they've already got nuclear power stations, | 0:10:50 | 0:10:53 | |
so you know there's not going be anyone for miles around. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:56 | |
-Want one? -No, thanks. | 0:10:56 | 0:10:58 | |
It's his job to come up with a recommendation on the sensitive | 0:10:58 | 0:11:01 | |
issue of civil aviation flight paths during the period of the Games. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:05 | |
I think if you want to make the security services really jumpy | 0:11:05 | 0:11:08 | |
these days, surely the best way of doing it is to fly a succession of passenger aircraft from all over the | 0:11:08 | 0:11:13 | |
world one after the other over the top of nuclear power stations. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:16 | |
Right. Yeah. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:17 | |
-So, what are the other ideas? -Yeah. The what? | 0:11:17 | 0:11:21 | |
You said one idea was to do that. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:23 | |
Yeah. Exactly, yeah. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:26 | |
Right. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:28 | |
OK. Well, as I said, I'm seeing TFL and BAA on Friday, so... | 0:11:28 | 0:11:32 | |
Yeah that's no worries. That's no problem, fine. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:34 | |
-This Friday? -Yes. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:36 | |
Sorted. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:38 | |
Sorry, could you let me in, please? | 0:11:54 | 0:11:56 | |
You must have the PIN number. | 0:11:56 | 0:11:58 | |
-Yes, I know, but I've forgotten it. -It's Tuesday morning. -Can't you just let me in? | 0:11:58 | 0:12:02 | |
If you'd like to take a seat? | 0:12:02 | 0:12:04 | |
Are you sure you want to re enter your PIN number? Yes, I bloody am. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:10 | |
Having finally got in, Kay has decided to change her security PIN number to one she can remember. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:16 | |
I should never have chosen that date in the first place. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:19 | |
It was a bad omen. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:20 | |
-So what... -God, coffee's great, isn't it? | 0:12:20 | 0:12:22 | |
-Yes. So what..? -I know it's bad for you, but sod it. -Yeah. What actually was the date? | 0:12:22 | 0:12:26 | |
-What was it? -If you don't mind me asking. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:28 | |
-Well, apparently it was Friday, 31st April. -Ummm... | 0:12:28 | 0:12:32 | |
I mean I still think it was March, but apparently I'm wrong. Anyway, it wouldn't let me in anyway. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:36 | |
So, what happened on that date? | 0:12:36 | 0:12:38 | |
-I don't really want to talk about that. -OK. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:40 | |
I'm not giving him that power over me. I'm sorry. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:42 | |
Right. OK, good, so... | 0:12:42 | 0:12:44 | |
I actually feel sorry for him. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:46 | |
-Right. -And her. | 0:12:46 | 0:12:48 | |
Wait till she has to stay up half the night playing Mortal Kombat Armageddon. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:52 | |
-Right. -That'll sort her out. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:54 | |
And to make matters worse I had a phone call from Dick Whittington's office this morning. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:58 | |
-Oh, right. What did he want? -Ian has got a meeting with Chief Construction Engineer Martin Soper. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:02 | |
It's been confirmed that the fragments found on the foundations of the Aquatics Centre | 0:13:02 | 0:13:06 | |
are part of a Roman burial mound and Ian has asked Martin | 0:13:06 | 0:13:09 | |
to take him through some of the available options. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:12 | |
Another option would be to look at ways of incorporating | 0:13:12 | 0:13:16 | |
the burial site architecturally into the design of the diving pool itself. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:20 | |
-Right. -Obviously, this would have major cost implications. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:22 | |
-Yeah. -And we'd need to get the architect on side. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:25 | |
-You know, she'd go off like a bloody rocket. -It would be very tricky. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:28 | |
Plus, I think we've gone past the point where it's achievable anyway in the time frame we're looking at. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:32 | |
Right. Is the common thread linking all these options | 0:13:32 | 0:13:35 | |
that they're not really options at all? | 0:13:35 | 0:13:37 | |
In engineering terms, there are always options. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:40 | |
In the end what it often actually boils down to is finding the one that works. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:44 | |
OK, I'm going to pretend you didn't say that because it's meaningless. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:48 | |
-OK. -Hello, I'm Kay Hope and I'm Head of Sustainability. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:52 | |
OK, wait. I think it's gone to sleep. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:54 | |
I can't be that boring, surely. I've hardly started. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:57 | |
OK, thank you. | 0:13:57 | 0:13:59 | |
-Shall I...? -Go, go. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:07 | |
Hello, I'm Kay Hope, and I'm Head of Sustainability for London Twenty Twelve. Hello. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:12 | |
Head of Brand Siobhan Sharpe has arrived to help Kay prepare for her videoblog, or Vlog. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:17 | |
She's due to record it for real at the Olympic site on Thursday. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:22 | |
...a catalyst for the development of waste processing | 0:14:22 | 0:14:24 | |
-facilities across East London, and beyond that setting new benchmarks... -OK, wait. Stop. -What? | 0:14:24 | 0:14:29 | |
Er... these are the Olympics, OK? | 0:14:29 | 0:14:32 | |
They're games, right? | 0:14:32 | 0:14:33 | |
So I think we can have a little bit of fun here, you know? | 0:14:33 | 0:14:36 | |
Yes. Actually sustainability is not really about fun. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:39 | |
-It's actually pretty serious. -Yeah, but you're quite excited, right? | 0:14:39 | 0:14:42 | |
-Am I? -Well, you've got the best job in the world, and you can't wait to tell us about it. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:46 | |
-Right, OK. Yes. OK. -OK? | 0:14:46 | 0:14:50 | |
-Hello... -Kay, wait, wait. Back up. Back up. -OK, sorry. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:54 | |
OK, and... go Kay. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:56 | |
OK. Hello. | 0:14:56 | 0:14:57 | |
I'm Kay Hope, and I'm head of sustainability for London 2012. | 0:14:57 | 0:15:01 | |
Erm... | 0:15:01 | 0:15:03 | |
-No, keep going, keep going. -OK. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:05 | |
Yes. The Olympic Park will be the most... | 0:15:05 | 0:15:08 | |
The greenest new large urban... | 0:15:08 | 0:15:10 | |
No, the largest new green... | 0:15:10 | 0:15:11 | |
The Olympic Park will be the newest large green urban space in urban... | 0:15:11 | 0:15:15 | |
-I'm going to start again. -OK, that's cool. You go, girl. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:18 | |
Hello. I... No, sorry... | 0:15:18 | 0:15:20 | |
Hello, I'm Kay Hope, and I'm head of sustainability for London 2012. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:26 | |
-You so are. -The 2012 Games will transform... | 0:15:26 | 0:15:28 | |
'At school I was Head Girl. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:30 | |
'I hated it. I hated speaking in public. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:32 | |
'I could feel myself going red. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:35 | |
'I never wanted to be Miss Goody Goody. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:37 | |
'I wanted to be Lucy Parker.' | 0:15:37 | 0:15:39 | |
-And who was Lucy Parker? -Who was Lucy Parker? | 0:15:39 | 0:15:42 | |
-Well, OK, if you can imagine a cross between Kristin Scott-Thomas and Emmanuelle Beart... -Right. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:47 | |
-If you can imagine that. -Yes, I can. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:49 | |
-Well, basically that was Lucy Parker. -Right. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:52 | |
She had an affair with Mr Williams. Everybody knew. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:54 | |
-She wasn't that clever, never did any work, but always somehow managed to... -Yeah, yeah. | 0:15:54 | 0:16:00 | |
But as well as that, the physical legacy that the... Er... | 0:16:00 | 0:16:04 | |
Can we stop this now, please. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:07 | |
-OK. -Thank you. I hoped to have learnt it by now. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:09 | |
-Obviously by Thursday I'll be much more... -OK, Kay. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:12 | |
-What? -Kay, you're a terrific person, OK, you're out there. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:15 | |
You're, you know, recycling, you're saving the planet, | 0:16:15 | 0:16:19 | |
-you know, it's major stuff. -Well... -But... | 0:16:19 | 0:16:22 | |
we've got a great show here and we've got to sell it. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:25 | |
You make a vlog, you put it out there, | 0:16:25 | 0:16:27 | |
you want people to be thinking... "Hey, she's cool. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:30 | |
"I want to be like her. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:32 | |
-"I want a piece of what she's got." -Right. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:34 | |
You know, so you've got to be thinking... "Hey, I'm cool. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:37 | |
-"I want to be like me. I want a piece of what I've got." -Well, er... | 0:16:37 | 0:16:40 | |
And if your head's not telling you that, maybe you're in the wrong head. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:45 | |
OK? | 0:16:45 | 0:16:47 | |
-Yes. -Yeah? | 0:16:47 | 0:16:49 | |
So the Roman burial pit is here, right under what's currently | 0:16:57 | 0:17:01 | |
the competition diving pool, which is 6.5 metres deep. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:04 | |
-And there's our problem. -Right. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:06 | |
It's Wednesday, and senior construction engineer, | 0:17:06 | 0:17:10 | |
Martin Soper, is back. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:11 | |
Would it help if we made the diving pool shallower? Can we do that? | 0:17:11 | 0:17:15 | |
That could have some knock-on effects for the divers. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:17 | |
OK, so then we've got the 50 metre competition pool here.... | 0:17:17 | 0:17:21 | |
This time he's come armed with a deliberately scaled down model of the Aquatic Centre itself. | 0:17:21 | 0:17:26 | |
...and the Urban Water Hole at the centre of it all. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:28 | |
The Urban Water Hole? | 0:17:28 | 0:17:30 | |
Yes. That's at the centre of the whole design concept. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:33 | |
-We can get rid of that for a kick off. -No, no. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:35 | |
-Sorry, that's the architect's vision. -Architects' vision? | 0:17:35 | 0:17:38 | |
Well, it's the first thing she saw when she thought about the building. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:42 | |
I think the first thing I'd have seen is a swimming pool. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:45 | |
-Let's not go there. -OK, so we could just swap the diving pool directly with the back of house facilities. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:52 | |
'No, it's all good, I'm not worried. It's easy to feel daunted | 0:17:52 | 0:17:55 | |
'by the sheer scale of what we're involved in here, but day to day, | 0:17:55 | 0:17:58 | |
'all you can do in life is focus on what's in front of you that day, | 0:17:58 | 0:18:01 | |
'and either deal with it, or find some other way of dealing with it.' | 0:18:01 | 0:18:05 | |
Take the diving pool and put it where the back of house facilities were. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:08 | |
-OK. -Actually, where were the back of house facilities? | 0:18:08 | 0:18:11 | |
Er... I don't know, it's all gone a bit... | 0:18:11 | 0:18:15 | |
Well, let's say they were here. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:17 | |
OK, so then you put the warm up pool... | 0:18:17 | 0:18:22 | |
..here. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:25 | |
I mean, that basically works, doesn't it? | 0:18:29 | 0:18:32 | |
I think it might do. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:34 | |
So what have I got here then? | 0:18:35 | 0:18:37 | |
I know what that is. That's the urban water hole. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:39 | |
-Oh, right. -Oh, fuck. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:41 | |
I mean, I'd call her myself, obviously, | 0:18:41 | 0:18:44 | |
-but it's probably better coming from you. -Yeah. Yeah. | 0:18:44 | 0:18:48 | |
It's Thursday morning and Kay Hope is on her way out | 0:18:53 | 0:18:56 | |
to the Olympic Park to record her video diary | 0:18:56 | 0:18:59 | |
or video blog or vlog for the website. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:02 | |
I got Kieran to test me on my lines last night. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:04 | |
It's gonna be great. We are looking at a surgical strike here. We go in, one take, and then we're outta there. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:09 | |
But then he had this brilliant idea - | 0:19:09 | 0:19:11 | |
I record it all onto his MP3 player, have the ear things in my ear when I'm actually doing the piece, | 0:19:11 | 0:19:16 | |
then all I have to is follow my own words and say what I hear in my ear. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:19 | |
-Right. -I don't have to remember it. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:21 | |
-That's all right, isn't it? -Sure. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:23 | |
-If you're happier. -He taught me how to use it. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:25 | |
Sure. That's totally cool. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:28 | |
He's such a great kid. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:30 | |
Sure. Totally. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:31 | |
What it is, yeah, I've looked at all the flight data. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:36 | |
I've looked at all the modelling, and it looks like in the end | 0:19:36 | 0:19:39 | |
it comes down to either Bournemouth, or Portsmouth. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:42 | |
Meanwhile Graham Hitchins is making progress with his own issues. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:46 | |
It's not easy. I mean, with Portsmouth... | 0:19:46 | 0:19:48 | |
there is an argument for routing extra flights in over ugly places, | 0:19:48 | 0:19:52 | |
-because we know fewer people are likely to complain. -Right. Yes. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:56 | |
OK? And then Bournemouth... This is interesting. | 0:19:56 | 0:19:59 | |
I was there a few weekends ago, actual fact, and I was surprised. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:03 | |
I took the... Do you want one? | 0:20:03 | 0:20:05 | |
Erm, I'm not really... I mean, just pretend, carry on as if... | 0:20:05 | 0:20:08 | |
Oh, OK, whatever. Yeah, I took the Alfa... | 0:20:08 | 0:20:10 | |
-Actually, what flavour? -Red onion chutney. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:12 | |
-Oh, no, thanks. -Right. I took the Alfa down there for a run. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:15 | |
Not a bad lunch. I quite liked it. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:17 | |
-You took the what down there? -The Alfa. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:19 | |
I've got an Alfa Romeo Alfetta. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:22 | |
-1981 GTV. -Right. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:25 | |
I know, it's mad. It's totally mad. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:27 | |
Yeah. So what was it that surprised you about Bournemouth? | 0:20:27 | 0:20:30 | |
Well, the main thing was is that I didn't think I was going to go there. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:34 | |
I was supposed to be going to, like, the New Forest, | 0:20:34 | 0:20:36 | |
but I had a bit of a brake fluid issue on the M27. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:39 | |
-OK, we all set here? -Sure. -Kay? | 0:20:41 | 0:20:43 | |
Yes, I'm... Just a minute. Hang on. Yes, right. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:47 | |
Out at the Olympic site, Kay is under starter's orders. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:50 | |
And...action. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:52 | |
Hello, I'm Kay Hope and I'm head of sustainability. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:55 | |
-Woah! Cut. -What, sorry? -You're too loud. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:57 | |
-You're way too loud. -Is it too loud? | 0:20:57 | 0:20:58 | |
-You've got a microphone. -Hang on, sorry. Hang on a minute. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:02 | |
That's better. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:03 | |
-I couldn't really hear. -I'm just saying relax. Take your time. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:06 | |
Oh, yes, sure. Yes, OK. Good. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:08 | |
-OK, this is your moment. -Yes. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:09 | |
You call it when you feel good. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:11 | |
I think that's it now. Sorry about that. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:13 | |
-OK, are we good? -OK, hang on a minute. OK. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:17 | |
-Right. Good. -OK. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:18 | |
And... action. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:21 | |
There's nothing at all there now. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:27 | |
-Right. OK. -Sorry about this, it's a bit... | 0:21:27 | 0:21:30 | |
-No, just whenever you're good. -Hang on. I think that's... | 0:21:30 | 0:21:33 | |
-No. Still nothing. -Right. -Keiren said something last night about shuffling but I wasn't really... | 0:21:33 | 0:21:38 | |
-Just give us a sign when you're good to go. -They're all so good with digital stuff, but... | 0:21:38 | 0:21:42 | |
-Have you got your earpiece in? -What? -Your earpiece? | 0:21:42 | 0:21:45 | |
Ah, no! Of course. Thank you. Stupid. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:49 | |
Sorry about that. Sorry, everybody. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:51 | |
-OK. -Honestly. Right. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:53 | |
OK... | 0:21:53 | 0:21:56 | |
Hang on, just a minute, just a minute. Right. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:59 | |
-OK. Good. -Yep. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:02 | |
And...action. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:05 | |
-Right. -OK, we're rolling here. So any time you want to join in. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:10 | |
I think I might have actually now got Snoop Doggy Dog... | 0:22:10 | 0:22:14 | |
-Jesus! -Hang on. Ah, right. I think that's better. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:17 | |
OK, are we back on here? | 0:22:17 | 0:22:19 | |
I think this is DJ Fresh, | 0:22:19 | 0:22:21 | |
but I think I'm going in the right direction. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:24 | |
It's funny how things happen, innit. I was in this noodle place. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:35 | |
It's just a Thai place just round the corner. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:37 | |
I go there when I can't be bothered... | 0:22:37 | 0:22:39 | |
-Yeah. -And I wasn't thinking of anything. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:41 | |
I wasn't even that hungry. Suddenly that hit me. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:44 | |
Head of infrastructure, Graham Hitchins, has finally | 0:22:44 | 0:22:47 | |
had a breakthrough moment with the flight paths. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:50 | |
First of all, forget this whole bloody Bournemouth-Portsmouth thing. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:54 | |
Bring 'em in over Southampton. | 0:22:54 | 0:22:56 | |
-Oh, right. -Right. Then what you do is, you take 'em up the M3, OK? | 0:22:56 | 0:23:00 | |
-Hang on. Up the M3? -Yeah, like in the war, right. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:03 | |
They follow the path of the M3. I mean, it's a bloody great road. | 0:23:03 | 0:23:06 | |
It's already ruined the environment, so that's all right. Have you eaten all of these? | 0:23:06 | 0:23:11 | |
-I'm not really... -Bloody hell. -Just pretend I'm not here. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:14 | |
So, you take 'em up the M3 to the M25. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:16 | |
If they're inbound to Gatwick, you turn right on the M25 anti-clockwise, | 0:23:16 | 0:23:21 | |
then follow the M23 South. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:22 | |
If they're inbound to Heathrow, turn left, take the M25 North, | 0:23:22 | 0:23:25 | |
-then back up the M4 to Heathrow, yeah? -Right. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:28 | |
-What do you think? -Er, well... | 0:23:28 | 0:23:30 | |
Or I was thinking you could turn them off earlier, up the A322 to the M4. | 0:23:30 | 0:23:34 | |
I mean, that's not a bad road. | 0:23:34 | 0:23:36 | |
-Then you turn right. -Right. Yeah. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:38 | |
I think that's probably better, isn't it. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:40 | |
Bloody good here when everyone else has buggered off. | 0:23:40 | 0:23:43 | |
It's not negative. I'm saying we've actually | 0:23:50 | 0:23:53 | |
-added something to the whole design. -All changes are improvements, Ian. | 0:23:53 | 0:23:56 | |
I know. So what we've added is the idea | 0:23:56 | 0:23:58 | |
-of not having an urban water hole. -Now you're talking. | 0:23:58 | 0:24:01 | |
It's Friday, and Siobhan Sharpe has come over to the Olympic Deliverance Commission | 0:24:01 | 0:24:06 | |
to go through the delayed Aquatics Centre press release. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:09 | |
OK, because what's new, what we've got to sell is the Roman stuff. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:13 | |
-OK. -OK. So Roman stuff. Roman stuff. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:14 | |
-Right. -OK, wait, wait, wait. It's the Romans that founded the Olympics, right? | 0:24:14 | 0:24:19 | |
-No, I think I'm right in saying that the Olympics is a Greek thing. -Really? -I think so. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:23 | |
That's a shame, because that would've been a slam dunk. Er, OK. | 0:24:23 | 0:24:27 | |
Ideas. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:29 | |
Ideas, thoughts... | 0:24:29 | 0:24:32 | |
OK. I suppose we could say something like... we've got a statement | 0:24:32 | 0:24:36 | |
about modernity, but it's a statement founded on the past. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:39 | |
-Holy shit. -We've left the past untouched, we've banked it for future generations. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:43 | |
-OK, I love this. -So basically well done us. | 0:24:43 | 0:24:46 | |
So now you've moved everything around, the remains are going to end up...? | 0:24:46 | 0:24:49 | |
They'll be under the floor of the entrance lobby, here. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:52 | |
-You mean the Legacy Zone. -The... exactly, yes. The Legacy Zone. | 0:24:52 | 0:24:55 | |
-This is so fun. -It is, isn't it. | 0:24:55 | 0:24:57 | |
In buoyant mood, Siobhan is keen to take Ian through a modification to the 2012 home page. | 0:24:57 | 0:25:02 | |
Go on, click on it. Just click on any link on the page. | 0:25:02 | 0:25:05 | |
-Right. -Go on, do it. -Yes, all right. Thank you. -Sure. | 0:25:05 | 0:25:08 | |
MUSIC PLAYS | 0:25:08 | 0:25:10 | |
-Oh, right. -How cool is that. -It's pretty cool. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:12 | |
-Duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh. -Yes. -London 2012. -Yes. | 0:25:12 | 0:25:15 | |
MUSIC PLAYS | 0:25:15 | 0:25:17 | |
-Duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh. -Yes. No, it's good, Siobhan. | 0:25:17 | 0:25:21 | |
I love this job. I so love it. | 0:25:21 | 0:25:22 | |
'Hello, I'm Kay Hope, and I'm head of sustainability for London 2012.' | 0:25:22 | 0:25:27 | |
Why is she shouting? | 0:25:27 | 0:25:29 | |
-'The Olympic Park...' -Kay's got a big message. Big message, big voice. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:33 | |
'Our journey towards a two Planet 1012 and Twelve starts...' | 0:25:33 | 0:25:37 | |
For Ian Fletcher, it's been another pretty good week. | 0:25:37 | 0:25:40 | |
It's been pretty good week I think. | 0:25:40 | 0:25:42 | |
You could say we've taken two steps forwards, one step backwards. | 0:25:42 | 0:25:45 | |
So you've taken one step forwards. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:47 | |
-What? Yes, if you like. And as I say maybe one step backwards. -Right. | 0:25:47 | 0:25:50 | |
So we're roughly where we were to start with, really. | 0:25:50 | 0:25:53 | |
So no, that's all good. | 0:25:53 | 0:25:54 | |
Oh. They lock automatically at seven. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:03 | |
-Right. -Well, where's the bloody keypad? | 0:26:03 | 0:26:06 | |
Oh, this is... | 0:26:06 | 0:26:08 | |
Has it, er... Right. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:10 | |
Hi, this is Ian Fletcher of ODC. | 0:26:15 | 0:26:17 | |
I can't seem to get out of the office, so could... | 0:26:17 | 0:26:20 | |
Fletcher. Ian Fletcher. | 0:26:20 | 0:26:21 | |
Yeah, hi. Look, the doors are locked but there doesn't seem to be a... | 0:26:21 | 0:26:26 | |
No, I'm not visiting anyone, I'm trying to get out. Hello? | 0:26:26 | 0:26:31 | |
PHONE RINGS | 0:26:31 | 0:26:32 | |
No, there's no point in... | 0:26:32 | 0:26:34 | |
PHONE CONTINUES TO RING | 0:26:34 | 0:26:36 | |
Hello? | 0:26:36 | 0:26:37 | |
Hello, yes. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:45 | |
Now look, this is... | 0:26:45 | 0:26:47 | |
No, this is me, I can't get out. Could you... | 0:26:47 | 0:26:51 | |
Hello? | 0:26:51 | 0:26:53 | |
No, I don't want to sit down, I want to get out. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:57 | |
Hello? | 0:26:57 | 0:26:59 | |
So what do we mean when we talk about raising the bar? | 0:27:08 | 0:27:13 | |
OK, well, it's funny you should ask that. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:18 | |
Top Question. Now we have all been... | 0:27:18 | 0:27:21 | |
Oh, OK. | 0:27:21 | 0:27:23 | |
That guy walks on to the stage with his laptop, we're dead history. | 0:27:23 | 0:27:26 | |
But what... | 0:27:26 | 0:27:28 | |
And the higher you jump, the higher you have to... | 0:27:28 | 0:27:31 | |
Unless you raise that bar, then you're never going to get over it. | 0:27:33 | 0:27:37 | |
I'm not going to just sack him. | 0:27:37 | 0:27:38 | |
He's a really whole hearted guy. He tries hard. Never gives up. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:41 | |
Naomi. And where do you live, Naomi? | 0:27:41 | 0:27:43 | |
I don't want to know that obviously... | 0:27:43 | 0:27:46 | |
