0:00:58 > 0:01:03- After the Flint Eisteddfod, it was - four years before I met Anne again.

0:01:04 > 0:01:06- We were 7,000 miles away - from Wales...

0:01:07 > 0:01:11- ..because Anne was living - and working in Singapore.

0:01:27 > 0:01:28- Here we go.

0:01:29 > 0:01:30- They're huge!

0:01:31 > 0:01:33- You need to start with...- - Sshhh!

0:01:33 > 0:01:38- The top chopstick - is meant to do all the work.

0:01:39 > 0:01:42- What do we have altogether, Anne?

0:01:42 > 0:01:43- We've got some pork.

0:01:44 > 0:01:45- Would you like some?

0:01:45 > 0:01:47- Leave it there so I can try it.

0:01:48 > 0:01:51- You chose this one - but I know the ingredients.

0:01:51 > 0:01:53- There's bamboo shoots...

0:01:53 > 0:01:55- ..onions...

0:01:55 > 0:01:56- ..leeks...

0:01:57 > 0:01:58- What about the meat?

0:01:58 > 0:02:00- What about the meat?- - It's chicken.

0:02:00 > 0:02:04- I can't believe that the meal - in Singapore was 40 years ago.

0:02:05 > 0:02:07- I don't feel any older.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09- I don't feel any older.- - Nor do I.

0:02:09 > 0:02:12- All I remember - is that you ate more than me.

0:02:13 > 0:02:14- Yes, probably.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17- You were familiar with the food.

0:02:17 > 0:02:20- You were familiar with the food.- - Yes, and I could use the chopsticks!

0:02:20 > 0:02:26- We're yet to mention the reason - for your visit to Singapore.

0:02:27 > 0:02:31- When I was in school and college...

0:02:31 > 0:02:34- ..I'd always wanted to live - in the Far East.

0:02:35 > 0:02:42- I was teaching at Aberbanc Primary - School and living with my parents.

0:02:42 > 0:02:47- I started questioning my life - as I was always going to dances.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50- Discos had become popular.

0:02:51 > 0:02:54- The people at the dances - were getting younger.

0:02:54 > 0:02:59- I felt there had to be more to life - than going out on a Saturday!

0:02:59 > 0:03:02- I decided to write to the army...

0:03:02 > 0:03:07- ..to ask if they had a teaching post - in an exotic location.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09- It had to be somewhere exotic!

0:03:09 > 0:03:15- How did your mother, father, - family and friends respond...

0:03:15 > 0:03:18- ..when you said you were going - to Singapore?

0:03:18 > 0:03:24- Nobody was allowed to come - to the house and mention Singapore.

0:03:24 > 0:03:29- "Sshhh! Mami's over there!" I'd say, - because we couldn't talk about it.

0:03:29 > 0:03:33- They took me to Brize Norton - to catch the plane...

0:03:33 > 0:03:38- ..and my mother really struggled - to say goodbye...

0:03:38 > 0:03:44- ..and Dadi was wearing dark glasses - at 5.00am because he was crying.

0:03:44 > 0:03:48- I felt like my life - was starting all over again.

0:03:48 > 0:03:51- I was going away to Singapore.

0:03:51 > 0:03:55- Both the temperature - and humidity were 90...

0:03:56 > 0:04:01- ..but I've never felt healthier than - I did when I was in the Far East.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03- I had plenty of energy...

0:04:03 > 0:04:07- ..and played hockey - for the Singapore Ladies Club.

0:04:07 > 0:04:09- It was opposite Raffles Hotel.

0:04:10 > 0:04:13- I played twice a week - for three years.

0:04:13 > 0:04:19- You mentioned the ladies club - and the luxurious Raffles Hotel.

0:04:19 > 0:04:21- It was very different...

0:04:22 > 0:04:26- ..to the life you would have had - in Drefach Felindre.

0:04:26 > 0:04:28- There was no comparison.

0:04:29 > 0:04:33- The very moment - the nine of us girls arrived...

0:04:33 > 0:04:38- ..we decided to split up - into groups of three to find a flat.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40- It worked brilliantly.

0:04:40 > 0:04:46- We started work at 8.00am every day - and were home by 1.00pm.

0:04:46 > 0:04:50- We'd throw on a swimsuit - and spend the afternoon by the pool.

0:04:51 > 0:04:55- At night, we'd go to Malaysia - or visit Port Dickson.

0:04:55 > 0:05:00- If anything was organized, - we'd say "count us in!"

0:05:00 > 0:05:03- Life was very good to you.

0:05:03 > 0:05:08- It improved when you met the man - who would become your husband.

0:05:09 > 0:05:10- How did you meet?

0:05:10 > 0:05:13- It was at the cricket club - in Singapore.

0:05:14 > 0:05:18- It took him three weeks - to convince me to date him...

0:05:19 > 0:05:23- ..and we were married - within seven months.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25- You fell head over heels in love.

0:05:26 > 0:05:27- What was it that appealed to you?

0:05:27 > 0:05:29- What was it that appealed to you?- - His gentle personality.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32- I have so much to say...

0:05:32 > 0:05:36- ..and it was lovely to meet - a mild-mannered gentleman.

0:05:37 > 0:05:39- He was someone who would listen.

0:05:39 > 0:05:44- We got on exceptionally well - and I fell head over heels in love.

0:05:45 > 0:05:49- After many happy years, - Anne and Phil left Singapore.

0:05:49 > 0:05:54- Phil joined his regiment in - Nottingham and they had Cerys.

0:05:54 > 0:05:59- The marriage would end as a result - of Phil's serious illness.

0:05:59 > 0:06:03- Their lives - were about to be turned upside down.

0:06:06 > 0:06:09- I had a call - from someone at Chilwell...

0:06:09 > 0:06:12- ..to tell me that Phil - had suffered a fit.

0:06:12 > 0:06:15- I knew he wasn't epileptic.

0:06:15 > 0:06:20- He was sent to hospital - and monitored for three weeks.

0:06:20 > 0:06:25- They could find nothing on his brain - so they thought he was alright.

0:06:25 > 0:06:29- But he was sent to London - as a precautionary measure.

0:06:29 > 0:06:32- They discovered a brain tumour...

0:06:33 > 0:06:39- ..so they chose to operate on him.

0:06:39 > 0:06:44- He also had radiotherapy to - make sure everything was alright...

0:06:44 > 0:06:47- ..and we had another year together.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50- We returned to the hospital.

0:06:50 > 0:06:52- They put up the X-ray...

0:06:52 > 0:06:58- ..and the tumour was three-quarters - the size of his brain.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02- I didn't know - what he was talking about.

0:07:02 > 0:07:07- My father-in-law was with us and - he asked "how long has he got left?"

0:07:07 > 0:07:09- I couldn't believe it.

0:07:09 > 0:07:13- They gave him a month - and he died after a month.

0:07:14 > 0:07:18- The young woman's dreams - had been shattered.

0:07:18 > 0:07:22- Anne had to make - the next difficult step...

0:07:22 > 0:07:25- ..for herself - and her daughter, Cerys.

0:07:27 > 0:07:31- Nobody knows - until you close the door at night...

0:07:32 > 0:07:35- ..and go to bed alone - with your thoughts.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39- It was at that time - that I knew I wanted to come home...

0:07:39 > 0:07:43- ..to give Cerys - the same upbringing that I had...

0:07:43 > 0:07:46- ..where people looked after you.

0:07:46 > 0:07:50- We came home - and the rest is history.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54- When you returned...

0:07:54 > 0:07:59- ..you had to find work to look - after yourself and your daughter.

0:07:59 > 0:08:05- As soon as Cerys started school, - I found a teaching position.

0:08:05 > 0:08:09- I started at Ysgol y Preseli - and they kept me.

0:08:09 > 0:08:12- I taught at that school - for 25 years.

0:08:13 > 0:08:14- I imagine you were very happy.

0:08:14 > 0:08:15- I imagine you were very happy.- - Yes, very happy.

0:08:16 > 0:08:17- It was a great community.

0:08:18 > 0:08:22- I was back in the reciting world - and teaching different parties.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26- One party had won - at the Urdd Eisteddfod.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30- They had written their own pop song.

0:08:30 > 0:08:34- They called themselves - Cywion Pash or Pash's Chicks!

0:08:34 > 0:08:39- I still see them - and Mari Grug was one of the chicks!

0:08:39 > 0:08:45- In 2010, Anne retired from her - teaching post at Ysgol y Preseli.

0:08:45 > 0:08:51- She still loves teaching the local - young people and children to recite.

0:08:51 > 0:08:54- What do you say to pupils...

0:08:54 > 0:08:59- ..who want to learn - to recite as well as you?

0:08:59 > 0:09:01- What are the guidelines?

0:09:02 > 0:09:07- Unfortunately, people who can't sing - think that they can recite.

0:09:07 > 0:09:11- It's difficult to be natural.

0:09:11 > 0:09:14- Some can be very stiff...

0:09:14 > 0:09:18- ..but they can bloom - if you start them at a young age.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22- My house is full - before the Urdd Eisteddfod.

0:09:22 > 0:09:27- We lose some at the preliminaries - and a few get to the National.

0:09:27 > 0:09:30- When you look back at your life...

0:09:30 > 0:09:34- ..and I remind you - of your time in Singapore...

0:09:34 > 0:09:35- ..how do you feel?

0:09:36 > 0:09:39- Is it wonderful or bittersweet?

0:09:39 > 0:09:41- It's a wonderful feeling.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44- I was married for six years...

0:09:44 > 0:09:48- ..but we did everything - in those six years.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51- We travelled and spent money.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54- We had a great time and had Cerys.

0:09:55 > 0:10:00- After that, I feel like - I've thrown myself into new things.

0:10:00 > 0:10:02- It's all you can do.

0:10:02 > 0:10:06- There's no point feeling bitter - but you should look to the future.

0:10:07 > 0:10:10- Do you have a philosophy for life?

0:10:10 > 0:10:13- I suspect it would be to have fun.

0:10:14 > 0:10:15- Yes, you're right.

0:10:15 > 0:10:20- If an opportunity arises, - Cerys always says to me...

0:10:20 > 0:10:23- .."Mami, go and do things!"

0:10:23 > 0:10:28- I was teaching until 2010 so - could only go during holiday time.

0:10:28 > 0:10:33- If someone asks me - to go somewhere now...

0:10:33 > 0:10:35- ..then I'll go!

0:10:35 > 0:10:39- In March, I'm going back - to Singapore and Hong Kong.

0:10:40 > 0:10:45- I'm going to Tenerife in January and - to other places. I'll go anywhere!

0:10:47 > 0:10:49- It's all terribly interesting.

0:10:50 > 0:10:53- How can you go back to Wales - after this?

0:10:54 > 0:10:57- I'll go back having learnt so much.

0:10:57 > 0:11:01- I think I'll be more interesting - as a teacher.

0:11:01 > 0:11:02- What's that, Anne?

0:11:03 > 0:11:06- You can use your fingers. - It's chilli crab.

0:11:06 > 0:11:07- Perfect!

0:11:07 > 0:11:10- It's the end of my first day - in Singapore.

0:11:17 > 0:11:21- I've been lucky to drive many cars - over the decades...

0:11:21 > 0:11:26- ..including my own car - for a report on Heddiw in 1966.

0:11:26 > 0:11:31- I've never shown my driving skills - to a driving instructor...

0:11:32 > 0:11:35- ..but I'll do just that - after the break.

0:11:35 > 0:11:40- I'll also meet Prys Edwards - at a special seaside camp.

0:11:40 > 0:11:41- Don't go anywhere!

0:11:45 > 0:11:45- .

0:11:47 > 0:11:49- Subtitles- - Subtitles

0:11:50 > 0:11:55- Over the years, I've interviewed - people in an array of locations.

0:11:55 > 0:11:59- But I've never done an interview - whilst driving a car.

0:11:59 > 0:12:04- That person happens to be - a professional driving instructor.

0:12:04 > 0:12:07- It might not be the best of ideas!

0:12:09 > 0:12:12- TODAY

0:12:13 > 0:12:17- It isn't the best of days - to go for a drive in the country.

0:12:17 > 0:12:19- I'm not sure what we'll do...

0:12:20 > 0:12:23- ..because I've been driving - for 50 years.

0:12:23 > 0:12:26- I passed my driving test in 1964.

0:12:26 > 0:12:32- I also started work as a broadcaster - and you began working too.

0:12:32 > 0:12:35- Yes, I was one of the first - to qualify.

0:12:36 > 0:12:37- I have a licence.

0:12:37 > 0:12:42- Everyone who qualifies - is given a licence.

0:12:42 > 0:12:46- You retain that number for life...

0:12:47 > 0:12:51- ..and nobody else is given - that number even after your death.

0:12:51 > 0:12:53- It becomes obsolete.

0:12:53 > 0:12:58- I'm told that it's the lowest number - in Britain still in use.

0:12:58 > 0:13:03- We're not having a lesson today, - but you'll give me some advice.

0:13:03 > 0:13:05- Yes, but only when it's needed.

0:13:05 > 0:13:09- I should warn you - that I like to put my foot down!

0:13:09 > 0:13:14- That's alright, as long as - you only do it in a safe place.

0:13:14 > 0:13:16- I'm sure you'll tell me.

0:13:16 > 0:13:18- Let's go.

0:13:25 > 0:13:30- First, I need to check the traffic - from the right and it's clear.

0:13:31 > 0:13:33- I'll indicate. Off we go.

0:13:33 > 0:13:38- People often check the right so much - that they forget to check the left.

0:13:39 > 0:13:42- You have to be very careful - when you do that.

0:13:43 > 0:13:47- When you're giving instructions...

0:13:47 > 0:13:51- There's two motorbikes - coming on the left.

0:13:51 > 0:13:56- Has a pupil ever got angry with you - and answered you back?

0:13:57 > 0:14:00- I'll never forget - one particular boy.

0:14:01 > 0:14:04- He fancied himself - as an excellent driver.

0:14:04 > 0:14:09- It must have been - at least 20 years ago...

0:14:09 > 0:14:12- ..but I still remember him.

0:14:12 > 0:14:15- There was a dog crossing the road - on the horizon.

0:14:16 > 0:14:19- I wasn't sure - if it was a cat or a dog.

0:14:19 > 0:14:22- He turned and looked at me...

0:14:22 > 0:14:27- ..and asked if he should run it over - or stop the car!

0:14:28 > 0:14:31- "What would you do - if it was your dog?" I said.

0:14:32 > 0:14:35- He didn't say a lot after that.

0:14:36 > 0:14:39- Is there a difference - between female drivers...

0:14:40 > 0:14:41- ..and male drivers?

0:14:42 > 0:14:45- You need to take a lot of things - into consideration.

0:14:46 > 0:14:50- I'm fortunate that most of my pupils - were raised on farms...

0:14:50 > 0:14:55- ..so they already - have an idea about driving.

0:14:56 > 0:14:59- Some of the boys - only need two or three lessons.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02- A fortnight ago, - one boy passed his test.

0:15:03 > 0:15:07- It was only two weeks and two days - after his birthday.

0:15:07 > 0:15:12- His brother passed a year earlier - only seven days after his birthday.

0:15:13 > 0:15:16- If they can control a car...

0:15:16 > 0:15:19- ..farmers's sons - tend to be better drivers...

0:15:20 > 0:15:25- ..than those boys in Llanrwst - who don't have a car in the family.

0:15:25 > 0:15:28- The same is true of girls.

0:15:28 > 0:15:33- A farm girl might not have driven - as much as her brother.

0:15:34 > 0:15:37- As a result, - she isn't as good as her brother...

0:15:38 > 0:15:43- ..but she is better than a girl from - Llanrwst who hasn't driven before.

0:15:44 > 0:15:45- That's a certainty.

0:15:46 > 0:15:46- Keep your eyes on the road.

0:15:46 > 0:15:48- Keep your eyes on the road.- - I need to look at you sometimes.

0:15:49 > 0:15:52- How do you feel - with me behind the wheel?

0:15:52 > 0:15:54- You're alright.

0:15:54 > 0:15:55- You're alright.- - Just alright.

0:15:56 > 0:15:59- You need to check properly - at junctions...

0:15:59 > 0:16:03- ..and maintain your position - when exiting junctions...

0:16:03 > 0:16:06- ..just as I told you at Corwen.

0:16:06 > 0:16:08- All in all...

0:16:08 > 0:16:13- ..I think that if I was told - that a girl was in an accident...

0:16:13 > 0:16:17- ..I'd expect to see - a little scratch or dent.

0:16:17 > 0:16:22- However, if it was a boy, I'd expect - the car to be a write-off!

0:16:22 > 0:16:26- The first car I bought - was a Mini in 1964.

0:16:26 > 0:16:29- I passed my test - on the second attempt.

0:16:30 > 0:16:34- Those who pass on the second attempt - are better drivers!

0:16:34 > 0:16:36- Second timers always say that.

0:16:37 > 0:16:40- My second car - was a Humber Super Snipe.

0:16:41 > 0:16:45- I drove it as if I was behind - the wheel of a Formula 1 car...

0:16:45 > 0:16:48- ..on the roads - of the Welsh countryside.

0:16:48 > 0:16:49- I was a fool.

0:16:49 > 0:16:51- I was a fool.- - I was just the same.

0:16:51 > 0:16:53- I'm lucky to be alive.

0:16:53 > 0:16:55- I'm lucky to be alive.- - So am I!

0:16:55 > 0:16:58- I wish I could relive it all again.

0:16:59 > 0:17:04- The only change I would make is - to have you as a driving instructor.

0:17:04 > 0:17:06- I'd be a better driver today.

0:17:06 > 0:17:08- I'd be a better driver today.- - I don't know about that, Hywel.

0:17:08 > 0:17:12- You're still here and with me today - which is the main thing.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15- Yes, and we're heading home.

0:17:15 > 0:17:21- We're sensible enough to know that - we were stupid when we were young.

0:17:22 > 0:17:23- But we had fun.

0:17:23 > 0:17:24- But we had fun.- - Yes, we did at the time.

0:17:25 > 0:17:28- Thank you for chatting with me - on this journey.

0:17:28 > 0:17:30- You're welcome.

0:17:37 > 0:17:41- YESTERDAY

0:17:42 > 0:17:47- Wales had one million Welsh speakers - at the start of the 20th century.

0:17:47 > 0:17:50- That number halved - by the end of the century.

0:17:51 > 0:17:56- One Welsh figure who was worried - about the demise of the language...

0:17:56 > 0:17:58- ..was Sir Ifan ab Owen Edwards.

0:17:58 > 0:18:03- In 1922, he established - an organization for young people...

0:18:03 > 0:18:06- ..and named it Urdd Gobaith Cymru.

0:18:06 > 0:18:10- In 1972, the organization - marked its 50th birthday.

0:18:11 > 0:18:15- I presented a programme - to mark the Urdd's jubilee.

0:18:16 > 0:18:19- Just over half a century ago...

0:18:19 > 0:18:23- ..a young 26-year-old man - spent a night here...

0:18:23 > 0:18:26- ..at Pandy, Llanarth in Ceredigion.

0:18:26 > 0:18:30- You'll recognize his name. - It's Ifan ab Owen Edwards.

0:18:30 > 0:18:35- He was the son of the Welshman, Sir - Owen M Edwards, a college professor.

0:18:36 > 0:18:41- It's more important to note that - he was the editor of Cymry'r Plant.

0:18:44 > 0:18:49- This was the basis - for establishing the organization...

0:18:49 > 0:18:52- ..and the Urdd camp at Llangrannog.

0:18:54 > 0:18:58- Prys Edwards, the son of Sir Ifan, - took control of running the Urdd.

0:18:59 > 0:19:05- He no longer runs the organization - but it is still close to his heart.

0:19:08 > 0:19:11- I thought a lot about Llangrannog...

0:19:11 > 0:19:14- ..and its importance - to the Welsh language.

0:19:15 > 0:19:20- I think it's the most important site - in Wales in terms of the language.

0:19:20 > 0:19:24- This site changed attitudes - about the language.

0:19:24 > 0:19:29- It was no longer just the language - of the chapel and Eisteddfod...

0:19:29 > 0:19:33- ..but the language people used - to have fun.

0:19:33 > 0:19:36- I think it transformed - the Welsh language.

0:19:36 > 0:19:40- During the last 40 years - since the jubilee...

0:19:41 > 0:19:46- ..what was the milestone in terms - of the development of the Urdd?

0:19:46 > 0:19:51- The teaching of the Welsh language - has developed within the Urdd.

0:19:52 > 0:19:53- The campsites are full.

0:19:54 > 0:19:59- Sports are no longer taught - through the medium of English...

0:19:59 > 0:20:02- ..but through the medium of Welsh.

0:20:02 > 0:20:05- Teams from Wales - compete across the world.

0:20:05 > 0:20:08- The Urdd's magazines - have also evolved.

0:20:08 > 0:20:13- In the 1970s, it cost 7,000 a year - to run the Urdd.

0:20:14 > 0:20:19- This year, it costs 180,000 a week - to run the organization.

0:20:20 > 0:20:25- I'm certain that this organization - has saved the Welsh language.

0:20:25 > 0:20:28- The sum of 185,000 a week - is a lot of money.

0:20:28 > 0:20:32- Do people - still give generous donations?

0:20:32 > 0:20:34- No, those days are over.

0:20:34 > 0:20:39- We build our funds from grants - and by running our camps.

0:20:39 > 0:20:43- The Urdd develops as they evolve.

0:20:43 > 0:20:47- I remember the joke that was common - in the 1970s.

0:20:47 > 0:20:52- A mother takes her son to the doctor - as he has swallowed half a crown.

0:20:52 > 0:20:57- The doctor says, "Go to the Urdd, - they can get money out of anybody!"

0:20:57 > 0:21:02- It had the reputation of being an - organization that milked the nation.

0:21:02 > 0:21:04- That attitude has changed.

0:21:04 > 0:21:10- The Urdd is the biggest business to - operate through the medium of Welsh.

0:21:10 > 0:21:13- It's one of Wales's - largest charities.

0:21:13 > 0:21:19- You're still as enthusiastic about - the organization as you ever were.

0:21:20 > 0:21:21- It's a part of me.

0:21:22 > 0:21:25- I was born in my father's office - for the Urdd.

0:21:25 > 0:21:28- It was actually the family bedroom!

0:21:29 > 0:21:31- The Urdd has always been with me.

0:21:31 > 0:21:37- It's one of the most interesting - organizations to be had.

0:21:37 > 0:21:43- I enjoy giving a helping hand - but I don't do it myself.

0:21:43 > 0:21:48- I must thank the 10,000 volunteers - who run the organization.

0:21:49 > 0:21:53- The Urdd has undergone - a number of major changes...

0:21:53 > 0:21:57- ..but there have been changes - in your life too.

0:21:57 > 0:22:01- How do you cope with suffering - from Parkinson's Disease?

0:22:01 > 0:22:04- Kath, my wife...

0:22:04 > 0:22:08- ..met a lady - who was a holistic therapist.

0:22:09 > 0:22:11- She said to Kath...

0:22:12 > 0:22:14- .."I'll help Prys - to get through it."

0:22:15 > 0:22:18- She taught me to turn negatives - into positives.

0:22:18 > 0:22:24- There are cynical people out there - who would listen to your words...

0:22:24 > 0:22:28- ..and say that you had - no other choice but to believe.

0:22:28 > 0:22:30- There is a choice, Hywel.

0:22:30 > 0:22:35- I could decide to end my life - and give up...

0:22:35 > 0:22:41- ..but I enjoy a full life with young - people and fantastic volunteers.

0:22:41 > 0:22:45- I'm indebted to them and my family.

0:22:45 > 0:22:51- I hope that everyone who faces - a disease such as Parkinson's...

0:22:51 > 0:22:54- ..has the same support...

0:22:54 > 0:22:59- ..and the same attitude - towards dealing with this disease.

0:22:59 > 0:23:01- I'm incredibly lucky.

0:23:01 > 0:23:06- When I go to bed at night, I give - thanks but I don't know to whom.

0:23:06 > 0:23:09- I give thanks for all that I've had.

0:23:09 > 0:23:12- After spending time - with you today...

0:23:12 > 0:23:16- ..I realized that I worked - for Urdd Gobaith Cymru.

0:23:16 > 0:23:22- I've witnessed and faced the hopes - of this organization...

0:23:22 > 0:23:24- ..by facing Parkinson's.

0:23:24 > 0:23:27- I want my life to be - as long as possible!

0:23:28 > 0:23:31- Next week, I'm on top - of Rupert Murdock's building.

0:23:32 > 0:23:34- I also meet two young girls.

0:23:34 > 0:23:39- One was a child star and the - other has tips on getting married.
