:00:23. > :00:29.Hello and welcome to Unsprung, here at the National Trust's Sherborne

:00:30. > :00:32.park estate in Gloucestershire. What a nice evening. We are outside for a

:00:33. > :00:36.change. You know what the programme is all about. About you, we would

:00:37. > :00:38.like your contributions, send us questions, photographs, any videos

:00:39. > :00:43.you have, anything to do with wildlife. It is mainly about

:00:44. > :00:47.wildlife but we have guests, too. I'm pleased to say tonight we've

:00:48. > :00:52.freed her from the Den on a promise she won't breathe any fire. Deborah

:00:53. > :00:58.Meaden is here to tell us all about her garden and her passion for

:00:59. > :01:03.wildlife. And joining her tonight, journalist, author and a security

:01:04. > :01:06.correspondent for the BBC. Frank Gardner, ornithologists

:01:07. > :01:14.extraordinaire. And a great passion for birds, not only here in the UK

:01:15. > :01:21.but around the Worrall. We'll catch up with both guests in a movement --

:01:22. > :01:25.all around the world. I'm tempted to sprint into the tee

:01:26. > :01:33.pee. An extraordinary move. I needed a

:01:34. > :01:39.gold lame jacket. ! Or sparkly snants Have you got some? I haven't.

:01:40. > :01:46.I'm wearing green pants. Let's start with a live-cam radio and we have

:01:47. > :01:51.incredible birds of prey. We have pergrinnings, kestrels, kites and

:01:52. > :01:56.barn owls. Let's look at them now, live. The female is not there. She

:01:57. > :01:59.is roosting outside. We have been trying to see if they're hunting

:02:00. > :02:02.during the daylight. They haven't been that much, not until later in

:02:03. > :02:08.the evening. I think she'sed finding a moment of quiet somewhere else in

:02:09. > :02:13.the barn and leaving the rowdy youngsters to sleep off their vole

:02:14. > :02:19.dinner. We have had a question via Twitter. And it says, what what

:02:20. > :02:24.about the digestion system with the bones they eat? They don't digest

:02:25. > :02:28.them, they regurgitate them in the form of a pellet. They have a part

:02:29. > :02:32.of the elementary tract at the top of the throat where they separate

:02:33. > :02:37.the bones, fur and feathers and compact it together and regurgitate.

:02:38. > :02:41.Useful for biologists, we can pick them up, break them open and see

:02:42. > :02:46.what the birds are eating because you are still identify the skulls,

:02:47. > :02:52.the owls having swallowed them hole. Even youngsters And it is really

:02:53. > :03:01.good fun dissecting a pellet. You know when you were kids you got

:03:02. > :03:06.plastic toys in creial packets, built a spitfire. An owl pellet.

:03:07. > :03:11.Maybe I'll take that to Deborah later for the Den. Owl pellets in

:03:12. > :03:13.Cornflakes lnchts' move on to the swallow camera. It is looking

:03:14. > :03:19.crowded now. There are five chicks in there. But that's a traditional

:03:20. > :03:23.place for swallows to be, to nest in barn like that. We have to call them

:03:24. > :03:29.barn swallows, the Americans knew them as that. We've changed our

:03:30. > :03:33.rules on and if you look in our guides they are barn swallows.

:03:34. > :03:38.Before barns they would nest underneath the bow of a tree, so

:03:39. > :03:43.they would make their nest there to find shelter. In 1975 in Hampshire I

:03:44. > :03:46.found a swallow's nest under a treatment of the only one I have

:03:47. > :03:50.ever seen. Never seen one since Fascinating. Thank you so much. It

:03:51. > :03:56.is time though, for, tonight's quiz. On to the quiz. Tonight it's been

:03:57. > :04:01.sent in by Ted Reef. He is a piano tuner. He's also a wildlife

:04:02. > :04:06.enthusiast. Ted happens to be completely blind, so sound is very

:04:07. > :04:07.important in his world. He wants us to ask this question - what is

:04:08. > :04:28.making this sound. SOUND PLAYS Great recording. ! It is

:04:29. > :04:32.You have 25 minutes to get in touch. And what you species-specific

:04:33. > :04:39.tonight? I'll open it up and be more generous. Let us know if you think

:04:40. > :04:44.you know what it is. Now time to move on to our first guest. Thank

:04:45. > :04:48.you for leaving the Den. Deborah. People know you as a great investor,

:04:49. > :04:53.a business woman of great repute. At home you let things go a little in

:04:54. > :04:58.your garden. Don't tell everybody I let things go. Yes, you are right, I

:04:59. > :05:12.do, but it is the place I go, ah, and breathe. You have set out to

:05:13. > :05:17.skupt your space. Well nature come n take it back from us, we stopped

:05:18. > :05:22.spraying, we are laying the hedges, we are allowing all of the wildlife

:05:23. > :05:28.coming back in. It was amazing. That's one of your birds. Freddie

:05:29. > :05:32.our pheasant. Is this compost heap in the back? I don't know. High

:05:33. > :05:37.husband made that. He properly did make that. So, it's lovely. Willow

:05:38. > :05:39.sculpture in the garden there. What about your passion for wildlife

:05:40. > :05:45.where, did it come from? Is it lifelong? I don't know Y I wasn't

:05:46. > :05:52.born in the country or grow up in the country. I have always loved

:05:53. > :05:56.animals and v a yearning to get my feet under the grass. You are a

:05:57. > :06:03.patron ambassador for the WWF. I'm a fellow now. Fellow. Yes, a trustee

:06:04. > :06:09.of Tusk Trust. So, wildlife, it is something I care about. Home is

:06:10. > :06:14.where the heart s you have rescued a young hare It was sad I had to

:06:15. > :06:19.rescue T I understand how they behave. We often see baby hares

:06:20. > :06:24.dotted around and we leave them but it was wet and bedraggled in the car

:06:25. > :06:28.park, so I phoned secret world, a local charity. They said bring it

:06:29. > :06:35.along. We took him along, we didn't know it was a him at the time and

:06:36. > :06:41.they had - look, look... Aw. Stop it. They hand-fed him and the lovely

:06:42. > :06:47.thing is they brought him back and we released him back on to our land.

:06:48. > :06:51.Secret World, a wildlife hospital down there. There he is. You

:06:52. > :06:57.released him back where you found him? We Z our territory is clearly

:06:58. > :07:03.very good for hares, I was staggered by how quickly he grew in six weeks.

:07:04. > :07:05.-- we did. If you are a small vulnerable mammal and you have the

:07:06. > :07:13.predators like kites and buzzards, you want to g big as quickly as

:07:14. > :07:20.possible. What happened, did you ever come back, was there a Disney

:07:21. > :07:28.end? Are they territorial, we have three hares, I don't know if if they

:07:29. > :07:35.are the same one but we always see them around our property. They are

:07:36. > :07:40.for forrial in the breeding system. The females boxing, fighting off the

:07:41. > :07:43.males, so they occupy a home range. The size will be dependent on how

:07:44. > :07:50.much lush grass you have there, but it is likely that they are animals

:07:51. > :07:53.that stayed there. But there are rabbits and hares, and many other

:07:54. > :07:58.things eat them so if you have foxes they will be out after them as well

:07:59. > :08:03.but fingers crossed at least that one made it and bred. Another garden

:08:04. > :08:07.favourite. And an aggressive bird, really, one which has a reputation

:08:08. > :08:14.which is not accurate when you see it posted on Christmas cards is the

:08:15. > :08:18.Robin? I saw they were really sweet and spent a day filming with them,

:08:19. > :08:21.and they are quite feisty, aren't they? Very territorial. I quite

:08:22. > :08:29.admire them. I knew you would. You know. They don't take it lying down.

:08:30. > :08:32.They don't. Do you know what, it is not just robins that are angry

:08:33. > :08:37.birds. We have sent in fabulous angry birds. Look at this one. This

:08:38. > :08:41.is from Neil. It is a wood pecker. I think it is about the eyebrows in

:08:42. > :08:46.the anger there, not happy. And then this one as well. Very grumpy.

:08:47. > :08:53.Edward Payne sent this owl N like that one? Yes, the fibbed eyebrows

:08:54. > :09:00.and squinty look and human-like face, communicating what we perceive

:09:01. > :09:05.as a very grumpy little owl. I have saved the best to last, check out

:09:06. > :09:11.this bluetit that Bluetit is not happy. Furious. I quite like that.

:09:12. > :09:15.Early in the morning, hungry and grumpy. What next for your patch?

:09:16. > :09:20.What are you going to do? Are you continuing to plant? Are you

:09:21. > :09:25.planting trees? We are. We planted probably a couple of hundred trees,

:09:26. > :09:30.we put in mature ones, it was sterile, farming land. We put in

:09:31. > :09:35.full-grown, big mature trees and hundreds of natural species, we

:09:36. > :09:39.looked around the hedgerows, ash groves, willow groves, we are part

:09:40. > :09:42.way through planting that. We haven't finished our hedge laying

:09:43. > :09:49.yet, so we are just working, you know. I give you some advice, I

:09:50. > :09:53.think you should invite Brett Westwood who you have had here this

:09:54. > :09:57.afternoon, he is one of the most fantastic naturalists, get him down

:09:58. > :10:03.to your patch, lure him in with a cup of tea and cake. He will give

:10:04. > :10:10.you advice to how to improve the scope not just for hares and birds

:10:11. > :10:14.but insects We do have livestock and it is the contention between the

:10:15. > :10:19.graze land and natural land. But graze land can be good if it is

:10:20. > :10:22.grazed at the right time in the right way. That's the thing. OK

:10:23. > :10:26.thank you very much Deborah. Let me paint you a picture. We have lots of

:10:27. > :10:31.fantastic celebrities on Unsprung, like you Deborah. We don't let them

:10:32. > :10:43.sit around during the day waiting for the 6 #30i7b 30pm show. Oh no,

:10:44. > :10:50.we put them to woncht -- 6.30pm. This is Unsprung UnStressed.

:10:51. > :10:59.When Michael Cain came along we wanted to see if he could cut the

:11:00. > :11:03.mustard. I think we've been sold a duff one, they said come on to

:11:04. > :11:13.Springwatch and here I am in the kitchen. If you could find me some

:11:14. > :11:18.of those, while you are here Whilst Michael was wokking hard I was

:11:19. > :11:22.having a lovely time brushing up on my painting with my other guest,

:11:23. > :11:27.Darren Woodhead. What a boutively day to be outside. Here I was

:11:28. > :11:31.thinking I was going to watch some amazing nature programme and it is a

:11:32. > :11:36.busman's holiday I'm afraid. In the kitchen, yet again. Sweating away

:11:37. > :11:42.here. Smells good, chef. Smells all right. Tastes awful. Well, I have

:11:43. > :11:51.cooked in many kitchens but this has to be a career highlight. You might

:11:52. > :11:55.get a job! From a MasterChef to a Master piece in the making. I'm

:11:56. > :12:01.reasonably proud of this one, though. That's all right. Now I'm

:12:02. > :12:07.just trying to copy yours, if I'm honest. Back at base, the hungry

:12:08. > :12:14.crew start to gather. Ready for catch We have the cavalry in now. We

:12:15. > :12:21.have roast badger. Sticky fried pheasant. Are you on work

:12:22. > :12:26.experience? I'm hoping to get a job. What do you want? Don't say it is

:12:27. > :12:32.better than normal or you won't get fed tomorrow. Well I have done my

:12:33. > :12:38.bit. This plate is for me, I'm off. I get the big queue. Michael hard at

:12:39. > :12:43.work, you mincing around in the wild environment, daubing something on to

:12:44. > :12:48.paper, it better be good. I would like to offer you the once in a

:12:49. > :12:53.lifetime opportunity to purchase from me this unique Chapman. Oh,

:12:54. > :12:59.I've lost my wallet. Well, OK, let's have a look. It is quite abstract. I

:13:00. > :13:03.like the abstract nature of it. It looks like a blood splatter, maybe a

:13:04. > :13:07.nod to the poppies in the First World War Clearly some beautiful

:13:08. > :13:13.wildflowers and could possibly, I don't know, be hung in your

:13:14. > :13:18.downstairs toilet. I like the minimalist aspect to it. It has

:13:19. > :13:22.charm. Is that a compliment? I'm trying hard to find one. Thank you

:13:23. > :13:30.for recognising that. I'll leave it with you. Many of you got in touch

:13:31. > :13:34.with us last night after the 8.00pm saying how worried you were of the

:13:35. > :13:39.decline of butterflies but there are things you can do to help and

:13:40. > :13:44.planting wailed flowers could help. If you put flants that produce

:13:45. > :13:52.necter, you will help the insects. They don't vb to be native species.

:13:53. > :14:00.Studies have shown that many species will not only take plant from native

:14:01. > :14:04.species but they'll adapt. You need nect oar in abundance, and some

:14:05. > :14:08.their lavae will feed on It people are planting flowers in their

:14:09. > :14:14.gardens which is brilliant. Look at this, this is a Forget Me Not

:14:15. > :14:19.through a rain drop, very pretty and well-taken. I comment, I cannot see

:14:20. > :14:26.the picture, our monitor has gone down. You' sure me it is a stonker

:14:27. > :14:31.of a photo We'll give it a 9. It is really, really good. Here we are, it

:14:32. > :14:34.has come up quickly, cut to that picture. I like the artistic

:14:35. > :14:38.invention. I would crop it more tightly to focus on the detail in

:14:39. > :14:44.the middle but clever. Not a 9. I think you are being a bit

:14:45. > :14:49.overgenerous. You know what, Bury C of E have been in much because they

:14:50. > :14:51.are leaving part of their field to grow wildflowers and they are

:14:52. > :14:56.studying the wildlife around them and a once in a lifetime opportunity

:14:57. > :15:00.for me I'm going to call from the skies now a quite wonderful kestrel

:15:01. > :15:03.they have made out of the homework they have been doing and the

:15:04. > :15:08.studying they have been doing. They've moulded it into the kestrel

:15:09. > :15:14.and we've put it on our Gibb, wonderful. Magnificent. They have

:15:15. > :15:18.the lovely on the barks spotty verbs good indeed. A magnificent model.

:15:19. > :15:20.Deserves to be hung in the school hall for many years. Watch it fly

:15:21. > :15:30.off. Thank you very much for sending that

:15:31. > :15:35.in. That is a cue to move to my next guest, who has had the privilege of

:15:36. > :15:40.birding in many places around the world, I am envious of his list.

:15:41. > :15:48.Frank Gardner, thank you very much for coming in. That's talk about the

:15:49. > :15:54.list, 1400. Very nearly. It is geeky I keep a list. It is not, we all do

:15:55. > :16:01.that. You has got a list? Hands up! Hands up who has not! There are

:16:02. > :16:05.quite a few here. And you had been birding all your life, you started

:16:06. > :16:09.and he went away and you came back. Yes, there was a teacher when I was

:16:10. > :16:14.13 who was really keen on birds and I was really not keen on him at all,

:16:15. > :16:20.he was not cool so I dropped it. He was an anti-mental. He was, so I

:16:21. > :16:25.dropped it for 20 years. I was living in Bahrain and my mother came

:16:26. > :16:29.out to visit and we went to visit. She was keen on birding? Yes, she

:16:30. > :16:35.got me into it. This bright yellow bird came past and it was a golden

:16:36. > :16:39.oriel. And at that moment, I got into birds again. That is enough to

:16:40. > :16:44.tempt anybody back. These are some of the species you might have

:16:45. > :16:51.encountered around the world. I took these comments this was in Svalbard

:16:52. > :16:55.is in the Arctic. And this was in Malaysia, chest beaters. That was a

:16:56. > :17:00.superb styling in tenure and I get a lot of pleasure from it, it is a

:17:01. > :17:06.lovely thing to do. That was Tuscany. I cover security and

:17:07. > :17:11.counterterrorism and bird-watching is therapeutic, back to nature. So

:17:12. > :17:15.much nicer than terrorism. It certainly is, is that therapeutic

:17:16. > :17:23.release? You go to places where it is tough to beat. When you go

:17:24. > :17:28.birding, is it a serious winds down? Sometimes it comes into conflict.

:17:29. > :17:31.Before Christmas, was in the Saudi and Yemeni border and there was a

:17:32. > :17:36.war and we could not stay on the border fall in and out of the corner

:17:37. > :17:41.of my eye, I saw a Nile Valley Sunbird which is a spectacular

:17:42. > :17:46.miniature bird of paradise. I said, we have got to get out of here, but

:17:47. > :17:51.I just want to see this little bird. Probably best to leave and see that

:17:52. > :17:57.again. What about birding in the UK? A lot of places to go in London. I

:17:58. > :18:03.love birding in the UK. I have got serious gaps. Lancashire water.

:18:04. > :18:08.Dartford warbler. And I have never seen a puffin. Don't you worry about

:18:09. > :18:16.that, I can supply you with one. This is fabulous. That is a flying

:18:17. > :18:24.Penguin! It is a puffin flying fabulous picture. There you go. You

:18:25. > :18:29.have to go at the right time. I got shot 13 years ago and I am in a

:18:30. > :18:33.wheelchair but I can get around fields, but that our limitations.

:18:34. > :18:37.You will not find the abseiling down the cliffs. No, but I have seen you

:18:38. > :18:43.in the jungles of purple in New Guinea, that is a tough environment

:18:44. > :18:47.if you are not in a wheelchair. I had help. We had to paddle through

:18:48. > :18:51.swamps and pushing and pulling to get through the jungle. It was so

:18:52. > :18:55.worth it because at the end of it was this amazing King of Saxony bird

:18:56. > :19:01.of paradise sweeping forward these feathers. Giving out this weird

:19:02. > :19:08.electrical sound. It was from another world. I felt justified

:19:09. > :19:12.going there. Fantastic, envy is increasing from me. You have not

:19:13. > :19:16.done too badly! But the birds of paradise, they are extraordinarily

:19:17. > :19:24.special. What is next for birding? I really want to go to brew and see

:19:25. > :19:31.some of the jungle birds -- three. The bird you get to see deep in the

:19:32. > :19:35.jungle. -- and want to go to Peru. I have not told the family yet, I

:19:36. > :19:39.guess they know. Tell the BBC, I'm sure the security issues in Peru.

:19:40. > :19:45.They might need more investigation. I am sure they do. Frank Gardner,

:19:46. > :19:54.thank you very much. We will be back with you shortly, until then, let's

:19:55. > :19:59.meet another wildlife hero. Wildlife rescue is often a very

:20:00. > :20:02.challenging field because it is run by people who are largely

:20:03. > :20:07.unsupported, ordinary people who put in a tremendous amount of energy to

:20:08. > :20:13.make it work. Today, I have come to meet one of them. This house is

:20:14. > :20:19.jam-packed with hundreds of rescued terrapins of all shapes and sizes.

:20:20. > :20:26.Michael Butcher, a man with a thousand terrapins. Let's have a

:20:27. > :20:29.look at these, look at that. Beautiful animals, and they? They

:20:30. > :20:34.are stunning animals, no denying that. And you have got 1,000?

:20:35. > :20:41.Somewhere around there, it is hard to count, I am afraid. Definitely

:20:42. > :20:47.that way, yes. How did you get started on terrapin rescue? When I

:20:48. > :20:52.was a kid, I was into Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. And seven years ago,

:20:53. > :20:57.I have not been very well and somebody was saying they were going

:20:58. > :21:02.to chuck one out and I literally ran at it. I picked it up from Maidstone

:21:03. > :21:07.and I brought it home and I've found out how bad the plight was for

:21:08. > :21:16.terrapins worldwide. They are abandoned everywhere. These are

:21:17. > :21:19.non-native animals and they come in from the pet trade. They disposed of

:21:20. > :21:24.like rubbish, the way I see it, it hateful. Aside from rescuing the

:21:25. > :21:30.terrapins, you also do a public service. When they are out in the

:21:31. > :21:36.wild. They are damaging the ecosystem. They are eating

:21:37. > :21:44.everything. Sally is beautiful. Big Sally. They are my babies. You are

:21:45. > :21:48.unusual, a lot of people see these animals as a non-native introduced

:21:49. > :21:54.pest, damaging the ecosystem. I do not see them like that. They are not

:21:55. > :21:59.from our country, it is not their fault. How can you blame that? Look

:22:00. > :22:07.at her, she is beautiful. She is lovely. She really is gorgeous. How

:22:08. > :22:10.could you want to destroy her? My dream is to build the largest turtle

:22:11. > :22:15.century in Britain and gradually spread it across the UK because if I

:22:16. > :22:18.stop, who else is going to do it? And I love these animals so much. I

:22:19. > :22:26.cannot bear to see them be destroyed. I am very pleased to

:22:27. > :22:29.present you with our Unsprung hero award. A lot of people will think,

:22:30. > :22:33.hold on, this is not native wildlife. But I am with you. It is

:22:34. > :22:37.not the fault of these animals and that is a beautiful animal and it

:22:38. > :22:40.does not deserve to be dumped, but looked after and the only person I

:22:41. > :22:50.know looking after them is you so you are our Unsprung Hero. There you

:22:51. > :22:57.go. It is lovely. Thank you for that.

:22:58. > :23:00.APPLAUSE. That is an interesting film and take on things. His respect

:23:01. > :23:04.for life means he wants to protect those animals and it is not their

:23:05. > :23:09.fault they are in the wrong place, at the wrong time. They do an

:23:10. > :23:13.enormous amount of damage. So he is helping that situation by taking

:23:14. > :23:16.them into captivity and not leaving them in the Wales to gobble up

:23:17. > :23:19.everything. We have a lot of non-native species in this country

:23:20. > :23:23.and we cannot wipe them all out, that is not the way to go forward,

:23:24. > :23:29.you have to think creatively about conservation and he is doing that.

:23:30. > :23:32.Interesting, thank you. This is Jane Price, a member of our lovely

:23:33. > :23:38.audience, and you have a fabulous object, where did you find that? In

:23:39. > :23:43.a conifer hedge, given to me as a dormouse nest. Much too big for

:23:44. > :23:49.that, they are the size of my best, and loosely woven together, I think

:23:50. > :23:54.most tourney owls would be to go hunting at night with this. It is

:23:55. > :23:59.massive. June what this is? I have given it to various answers and had

:24:00. > :24:03.different responses. A conifer hedge local to hear? Yes, in

:24:04. > :24:08.Gloucestershire. This it is a loosely woven bundle of very coarse

:24:09. > :24:14.reads and it is stripped wood. Stripped bark. And it is lined with

:24:15. > :24:19.man-made fabric. This is not fat or down, this is nylon. It has been

:24:20. > :24:28.inside somebody's police. The stripped bark says Grey squirrel to

:24:29. > :24:31.me. Which would make it a nest Ato give birth to their young in the

:24:32. > :24:37.Summertime and they might have a number perched on the tree, but they

:24:38. > :24:40.are not normally open like this. Like a harvest mouse and dormouse,

:24:41. > :24:44.it does not have an official entry, they pushing through the sides, but

:24:45. > :24:48.this does have an opening. If a viewer knows any better suggestions,

:24:49. > :24:52.we would love to know. I would go for a grey squirrel. If I went for

:24:53. > :24:58.red squirrel, and would be very optimistic! We will stick with grey

:24:59. > :25:01.squirrel, but we have another quiz question which brings you and our

:25:02. > :25:07.quiz from the top of the show. It is time for the quiz. At the top of the

:25:08. > :25:13.show, we said what did you think this sound might be? This is a

:25:14. > :25:20.brilliant sound. Many people got in touch once again and thank you. Some

:25:21. > :25:25.people got it wrong. Suzanne Coleman said water rail, young Crow,

:25:26. > :25:34.popping. We had a toad. Close, but not right. Many of you got it right.

:25:35. > :25:42.Super well done if you got this. What is it? It is a marsh frog. If

:25:43. > :25:49.you said a frog, well done, if you said marsh frog, extra kudos. I have

:25:50. > :25:54.a characteristic call from the males, when it is warm and wet. They

:25:55. > :25:58.love it when it rains, they really kick. It is time for fantastical

:25:59. > :26:04.beasts and another quiz. Go to Twitter and we have seven sounds in

:26:05. > :26:16.our fantastical beasts. Tell us what they are, have a look. ANIMAL CALLS.

:26:17. > :26:20.Listening carefully to identical the sounds and if you think they can,

:26:21. > :26:25.tweet us. You know the premise, we as our best -- our guests to invent

:26:26. > :26:29.an animal which might exist in the future and have its own physiology

:26:30. > :26:35.and morphology. It is tentatively real. What have you come up with,

:26:36. > :26:46.Deborah? Something out of Dragons' Den? The next step in flight

:26:47. > :26:51.revolution. A flindow that opens its own windows because they spend so

:26:52. > :26:59.much time trying to get out! Very good. Adapted fly. This is the hands

:27:00. > :27:02.to get hold of something. This is a soccer to push and pull because when

:27:03. > :27:06.the window swings, it needs something to hold onto. It is tiny

:27:07. > :27:11.and it needs extra propulsion so it has... To propel it while it is

:27:12. > :27:18.pushing the window open and strong muscles in here in the drastic

:27:19. > :27:22.cavity. We love a fly that opens windows, that would save a lot of

:27:23. > :27:25.buzzing. Those flies on the windowsill. I collected them on my

:27:26. > :27:29.windowsill once and made some artwork for my stepdaughter which is

:27:30. > :27:35.still on top of her wardrobe. Moving swiftly on, Frank? You know

:27:36. > :27:41.parakeets, not everybody loves them, they are very colourful, but they

:27:42. > :27:48.are an invasive species. This is a woodpecker on steroids, invented by

:27:49. > :27:55.a former buddy builder and this will drive them out. Theoretically. They

:27:56. > :27:58.are implanted with a chip to control them by people in central

:27:59. > :28:03.headquarters. You have a giant woodpecker which is controlled by

:28:04. > :28:10.somebody underground with a demonic character. It is all classified. It

:28:11. > :28:15.is sent out to destroy the parakeets in this country. What would they

:28:16. > :28:22.think about that? Let's hear them. What would they think about that?

:28:23. > :28:27.Let's hear them CALLS. I do not think they are happy. They

:28:28. > :28:32.are no match for this character. I do like your invention, I love the

:28:33. > :28:38.fly that opens its own windows and that is going to go to the top. I

:28:39. > :28:42.like this controlled and humongous woodpecker on steroids that is going

:28:43. > :28:47.there. This is a budgie. I must speak to the artist later. So I have

:28:48. > :28:51.to wedge that here, very good indeed. That is all we have got time

:28:52. > :28:52.for today, please thank my guests, see you again at 6:30pm tomorrow

:28:53. > :29:11.night, goodbye! For the first time, the Science

:29:12. > :29:14.Museum is opening its doors so you can vote for

:29:15. > :29:18.Britain's greatest invention.
