Do you play an instrument? | 0:05:14 | 0:05:16 | |
I do, I play in a brass band. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:17 | |

"And Mr and Mrs Ramsbottom went there with young Albert, their son..." | 0:05:29 | 0:05:33 | |
Are you any better in the brass band? | 0:05:33 | 0:05:35 | |
No, Anne, I didn't say I was good at anything, I just said I do a lot. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:38 | |
Put your board up. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:40 | |

-Some older people use our product. -What are your products? | 0:05:56 | 0:06:00 | |
Food, Anne. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:01 | |
-A variety of food? -Absolutely. Anything from a traditional dish | 0:06:01 | 0:06:05 | |
to a new sweet-and-sour curry, something like that. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:09 | |
-It's sort of slop, is it? Liquefied, in different colours? -Far from it. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:13 | |
So how do you know if the old people are enjoying it? | 0:06:13 | 0:06:17 | |
I ask them, Anne. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:19 | |
Which is their favourite slop? | 0:06:19 | 0:06:20 | |
I think it's fair to say each one of the residents is individual | 0:06:20 | 0:06:24 | |
and they like different things. I'm sure there's plenty watching today. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:28 | |
Is there anything glamorous about your life? | 0:06:28 | 0:06:30 | |
-Er... Not really, Anne, no. -No, I don't think there could be. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:34 | |

Oh. How many of those have you got? | 0:06:57 | 0:07:00 | |

-Are they from Germany? -One is. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:05 | |
Does it speak English? | 0:07:05 | 0:07:07 | |

Oh, so do you have to speak to it in German? | 0:07:10 | 0:07:13 | |
-Yes. -What's it called? -Dana. -Dana. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:17 | |
And if you spot Dana digging a hole, do you think she's trying to escape? | 0:07:17 | 0:07:21 | |
-She often does dig holes. -It's her breeding, isn't it? -I never thought about her escaping, but possibly. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:28 | |
-Why Sue? -She paused very slightly. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:31 | |
Sue, you are the weakest link. Goodbye! | 0:07:31 | 0:07:35 | |
My family and friends will have a laugh | 0:07:42 | 0:07:46 | |
that I've actually been voted off first | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
but I've had the guts to actually go on the show. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
They're just sat watching the show, I've achieved another goal for myself. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:56 | |

and then she's got two legs. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:12 | |
Yes. Put your board up. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:15 | |
