:00:17. > :00:22.Tonight we are celebrating 125 years of the motor car, everything

:00:22. > :00:26.from this glamorous Mercedes worth �2 million to the fastest most

:00:26. > :00:36.iconic vehicles ever, from the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu,

:00:36. > :01:01.

:01:01. > :01:05.welcome to National Treasures Live. APPLAUSE. Good evening, welcome to

:01:05. > :01:10.National Treasures Live from a beautiful setting in the heart of

:01:10. > :01:13.the New Forest. It's gorgeous. This is Palace House, it's it's family

:01:13. > :01:16.seat of the Montagus and Lord Montagu started what was to become

:01:16. > :01:20.one of our largest and most important motoring collections.

:01:20. > :01:25.This place is more than a petrolhead's dream. The cars give a

:01:25. > :01:29.snapshot of life throughout the last century. Look at this one,

:01:29. > :01:34.exclusive luxury of 1909 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost, considered by

:01:34. > :01:39.many to be the the greatest car of its time and isn't it? Stunning.

:01:39. > :01:44.Arguably its modern equivalent, the Ferrari Enzo, I spotted a man here

:01:44. > :01:49.who would like to drive one. Absolutely, I would love one.

:01:49. > :01:53.wouldn't fit the kids in, that's the problem. No back seat. To this

:01:53. > :01:57.modest, no less exciting car of recent times, this is the Ford

:01:57. > :02:03.Anglia and what's so exciting about this car. Harry Potter flew in it.

:02:03. > :02:08.He did indeed. Well done, thank you guys. Tonight we will hear the

:02:08. > :02:12.human stories behind these rather beautiful cars. We will see Sir

:02:12. > :02:14.Malcolm Campbell's record-breaking Bluebird, his grandson himself a

:02:14. > :02:20.motoring record-breaker, will explain why this place is so

:02:20. > :02:24.special to his family. Also on the anniversary of his first murder, we

:02:24. > :02:27.get exclusive access to the original police files on Jack the

:02:27. > :02:32.Ripper and I have my work cut out trying to explain to Michael

:02:32. > :02:35.Douglas why the Romans came here in the first place.

:02:35. > :02:40.If you have any questions of your own for Dan about the Romans or

:02:40. > :02:46.anything else, then do get in touch with us. Here is our e-mail address.

:02:47. > :02:51.You can follow us on Twitter. We will put him on-the-spot later.

:02:51. > :02:57.least favourite part of the show. We start 150 years ago before cars

:02:57. > :03:01.even as old as this this one were a regular sight on our roads. Larry

:03:01. > :03:04.Lamb heads back that way to look at how people entertained themselves

:03:05. > :03:08.long before the days of the soap opera.

:03:08. > :03:15.What I love about it's East End of London is around every corner

:03:15. > :03:20.there's a hidden historical gem to discover. Just like here, near

:03:20. > :03:27.Whitechaple. Behind this facade of five Victorian terrace houses lies

:03:27. > :03:37.one of the city's best kept seek Ritz. Built -- secrets.

:03:37. > :03:43.

:03:43. > :03:46.It's now one of our most important This is Wilton's Musical, the

:03:46. > :03:52.oldest surviving musical in the world. It's a bit haunting coming

:03:52. > :04:02.in here, it's shraoeubg a time -- it's like a time capsule. Takes you

:04:02. > :04:03.

:04:03. > :04:08.back to what some would call the good old days.

:04:08. > :04:11.Evolving from pub sing-a-longs from the 1860s the music hall was the

:04:11. > :04:15.most popular entertainment of its day, a mixture of crowd-pleasing

:04:15. > :04:24.songs, comedy and speciality acts, its legacy has been celebrated on

:04:24. > :04:30.both film and television. Carol Zeidman is the chief tour guide at

:04:30. > :04:34.Wilton's. What was it like when it was open in the 1860s? Very lively.

:04:34. > :04:39.In John Wilton's day we have witness accounts there were 1300

:04:39. > :04:44.people in here with extra chairs put in. Must have been on each

:04:44. > :04:48.other's shoulders or something. must have been pretty packed.

:04:48. > :04:53.Structurally it was much as you see now. It was the decorations that

:04:53. > :04:59.were different. The walls were pale blue and salmon pink. The walls

:04:59. > :05:03.were covered with mirrors. The balcony fronts were made of papier

:05:03. > :05:07.mache reinforced with plaster. Of all the gas lights, the most

:05:08. > :05:16.spectacular was a great big sunburner lamp and the whole thing

:05:16. > :05:22.was covered in a solid mass of 27,000 pieces of richly polished

:05:22. > :05:32.glass and feathers, spangles and spires. Who was the most famous act

:05:32. > :05:36.

:05:36. > :05:46.ever billed here at Wilton's? was George Leybourne, Champagne

:05:46. > :05:53.

:05:53. > :05:55.Charlie. He would sing his song Ladies and gentlemen,... Michael is

:05:55. > :06:01.an author and chairman of ceremonies who believes that the

:06:01. > :06:06.pop song has its roots in music hall. How important was music, did

:06:06. > :06:11.it sort of achieve a style of its own? The songs themselves began to

:06:11. > :06:14.reflect the lives of the people who were coming to the halls. It was

:06:14. > :06:18.about the mother-in-law, and troubles with the wife. In the

:06:18. > :06:23.earlier days there wasn'tle much of a chorus as we understand it and

:06:23. > :06:29.the emphasis began to move from the verses to the choruses. Where

:06:29. > :06:37.everybody joined in. The rather more jolly style of song began to

:06:37. > :06:43.emerge. There were thousands of songs

:06:43. > :06:49.written to feed this thirst and hunger for this kind of song, which

:06:49. > :06:56.reflected work and family life. What would you say were the overall

:06:56. > :07:00.causes of the demise of the music hall? It all actually got a bit

:07:00. > :07:07.tedious after 30 or 40 years. It tended to be the same subjects time

:07:07. > :07:13.after time. The other thing was the influence of American music which

:07:13. > :07:18.was so much more sophisticated. Unfortunately, now the decline of

:07:18. > :07:22.the music hall era is mirrored in the decline of these buildings.

:07:22. > :07:28.What fuels your sort of enthusiasm for preserving halls like this?

:07:28. > :07:33.Well, there isn't another hall like this and it's also the music hall

:07:33. > :07:39.that had the first performance of the can-can, which is a good enough

:07:39. > :07:44.reason to preserve it. Old time music halls were like the careers

:07:44. > :07:48.of the stars in them, brilliant but brief. They're now a part of our

:07:48. > :07:54.entertainment heritage, not just historical monuments and some of

:07:54. > :08:03.them like Wilton's are working museums so we should cherish them

:08:03. > :08:07.while we can because that is show show business.

:08:07. > :08:11.Certainly is, isn't it. Good old days. A great show, ran for 30

:08:12. > :08:17.years. It was and a treat for me because I was a boy who never

:08:17. > :08:22.really had been to the theatre, so to see the audience watching that

:08:22. > :08:30.stuff that my Gran grew up on, the songs she taught me, it was a treat.

:08:30. > :08:37.You remember the good old days? Yeah? You see, long memories and

:08:37. > :08:41.your granny was a huge fan? She was a Marie Lloyd fan, she was her

:08:41. > :08:44.favourite. I am going to take you to your own good old days if you

:08:44. > :08:52.don't mind, because this is a huge collection of cars, we know you

:08:53. > :08:58.like your cars and we found this. 1938 Morris 8. Why do you know this

:08:58. > :09:02.in particular? Because this was actually my first car, not this

:09:02. > :09:07.model, I have to say, but this was the first car I ever owned. Was it

:09:07. > :09:15.really? My key to freedom, yeah. How much was it, can you remember?

:09:15. > :09:20.I do, pfs -- it was �29. -- �39 but it represented a lot of money to me,

:09:20. > :09:27.it was all the money I used to earn the weekends working on a market

:09:27. > :09:31.stall but I had to have a car. I passed my driving licence as soon

:09:31. > :09:38.as I could. I went out and almost lost it immediately. You are happy

:09:38. > :09:42.in it now. Don't go anywhere but you can sit there. The smell is

:09:42. > :09:44.wonderful. From Larry's first car to one of the earliest surviving

:09:44. > :09:48.vehicles to drive on the roads of Britain now.

:09:48. > :09:54.I am in Heaven. Look at this. This is the Grenville steam carriage. It

:09:54. > :09:59.looks like a steam locomotive engine and smells like it, trust me

:09:59. > :10:03.on this one, and sounds like one. Instead of running on tracks, it

:10:03. > :10:06.runs on wheels, on the road. Revolutionary. Victorian roads were

:10:06. > :10:11.full of horses and carts and bicycles and everything so

:10:11. > :10:16.parliament in a bout of health and safety enthusiasm insisted a law

:10:16. > :10:20.was passed where you had to wave a red flag and a maximum speed limit

:10:20. > :10:28.was 4mph in the countryside, twomph in the city. That's pointless,

:10:28. > :10:31.isn't it. We are going slowly. pretty slow. In having this car,

:10:31. > :10:36.the British motoring industry it didn't really take off. In Germany,

:10:36. > :10:40.though, no such health and safety laws and a man called Karl Benz

:10:40. > :10:50.came up with this, this is really the father of all modern cars. It's

:10:50. > :10:50.

:10:50. > :10:53.got a engine, runs on gas gasoline. Not for the last time, German cars

:10:53. > :10:58.dominating the British market. Not this one, though. This British

:10:58. > :11:02.car, I think, outshone them all, a beautiful Rolls Royce. While cars

:11:02. > :11:06.were still a rare sight on the streets of London in the 1880s

:11:06. > :11:16.something more sinister was grabbing the headlines. It's 123

:11:16. > :11:18.

:11:18. > :11:22.years to the very day since Jack the Ripper claimed his first victim.

:11:22. > :11:29.Forensic anthropologist Zanthey Mallet has been given exclusive

:11:29. > :11:35.access to the original files. He emerged from the shadows in 1888,

:11:35. > :11:41.watch watching stalking, the autumn of terror had begun. Over the neck

:11:42. > :11:44.three months Jack the Ripper murdered five women in Whitechaple,

:11:44. > :11:48.slitting their throats and mutilating their bodies. Then

:11:48. > :11:54.Britain's most famous serial killer melted back into the shadows, his

:11:54. > :12:00.real identity never revealed. But now, more than a century on, with

:12:00. > :12:05.the help of a top murder detective I hope to unveil his true face.

:12:05. > :12:10.Despite the intervening 123 years, this case is very much alive. In

:12:10. > :12:14.that time over 200 suspects have been named, from royalty and

:12:14. > :12:19.artists to Queen Victoria's own surgeon Sir William Gull. This list

:12:19. > :12:23.of suspects continues to lengthen because of the incredible trerb

:12:23. > :12:28.trove of original documents and it's some of these that the London

:12:28. > :12:30.Metropolitan archives have given me privileged access to. As a forensic

:12:30. > :12:37.anthropologist I have looked at cold cases before but to get a

:12:37. > :12:40.chance to review the most famous cold case ever is very exciting. At

:12:40. > :12:47.the time the police and newspapers received many letters supposedly

:12:47. > :12:51.from the killer. OK, this one is a postcode and it's made out to the

:12:51. > :12:56.city of London police and it's actually stamped with the 4th

:12:56. > :13:01.February 1889 and it says: Dear boss, be on the look out as I am

:13:01. > :13:07.coming to visit. It's signed Jack the Ripper. I am actually allowed

:13:07. > :13:11.to take this one out: Dear boss, the police will not get me. They

:13:11. > :13:15.think they will. I hope they do. I will rip some more up soon. Jack

:13:15. > :13:20.the Ripper. I am hopeful the clues to unlocking

:13:20. > :13:25.his identity are lurking somewhere inside these very documents. I have

:13:25. > :13:30.asked ex-murder squad detective Trevor Maret, an expert on the

:13:30. > :13:33.archives, to explain his latest theories. What can we pull out of

:13:33. > :13:38.these letters that may be relevant to this investigation? I think one

:13:38. > :13:44.thing you should look at is one letter that refers to the removal

:13:44. > :13:49.of organs. I like to find them nice parts. What is the relevance of

:13:49. > :13:52.body parts? For a time the police believed that the killer could have

:13:52. > :13:56.possibly been a surgeon because these organs that were removed from

:13:56. > :14:04.the victims were apparently removed by someone with some anatomical

:14:04. > :14:09.knowledge. Trevor believes this isn't necessarily the case.

:14:09. > :14:13.anatomy kwrabgt abelieved doctors and medical students to go to

:14:13. > :14:17.mortuaries and freely take organs for research purposes. The idea

:14:17. > :14:23.that someone else had taken the body parts seems to be borne out by

:14:23. > :14:27.documents relating to the fourth victim, Catherine Edows. If you

:14:27. > :14:33.look at the inquest report and the time of the PC who found the body,

:14:33. > :14:37.he went into the square at about 1.30 and then says at about 1.44 he

:14:37. > :14:43.came back and found the body of Catherine in darkest part of the

:14:43. > :14:47.square. That leaves less than 14 minutes and clearly, in my

:14:47. > :14:52.estimatation, that's not sufficiently long enough for

:14:52. > :14:56.someone to kill somebody, to mutilate their body, to then remove

:14:56. > :15:06.a uterus and kidney in almost total darkness with what was described as

:15:06. > :15:08.

:15:08. > :15:16.Trevor began to focus on the records of travellers.

:15:16. > :15:22.investigation turned towards the a German seaman employed by a German

:15:22. > :15:29.fleet. They had vessels in London on all the dates of the murders bar

:15:29. > :15:36.one. Why is he your top suspect? was arrested and executed in New

:15:36. > :15:40.York for a ripper-like murder and he suffered from a diseasey so

:15:40. > :15:44.often manifested itself and forced him to kill and mutilate women. So

:15:44. > :15:49.putting together with all the other things in connection with the man,

:15:50. > :15:56.must make him one of the top suspects. No picture of him exists.

:15:56. > :16:00.So Trevor has put together an e-fit. We may be looking at the face of

:16:00. > :16:04.Jack the Ripper? Yes it is a possibility. At the moment, it is

:16:04. > :16:14.just a theory. But it is chilling to think we could finally be

:16:14. > :16:18.

:16:18. > :16:23.looking at the word's most infamous serial killer. It is amazing we are

:16:23. > :16:28.still talking about this almost 125 years later. Now, have a look at

:16:28. > :16:38.these cars. There is a bit of history in each one. This is the

:16:38. > :16:42.

:16:42. > :16:49.car that started it all. A 1903 deDion Boutin. You like it. It is a

:16:49. > :16:54.beauty. You with tpwhro horn if you want. Promise? Yes. It does have

:16:54. > :16:59.history. It has been in the Montagu family for 100 years and it was the

:16:59. > :17:04.car that started the collection F I take you inside and tell you more

:17:04. > :17:10.about it. Nearly 60 years ago, the current Lord Montagu opened the

:17:10. > :17:14.doors of this house to the public and invited them to see his car

:17:14. > :17:21.collection. And the collection was housed in the museum. And this is

:17:21. > :17:26.the start of the museum. Here? Interesting place for a museum.

:17:26. > :17:34.might think so. A beautiful hall. It is the front hall. It was a bill

:17:34. > :17:39.yard room. There were five cars in here. And if we look at it in 1952

:17:39. > :17:43.it was a squash to be honest. There were five cars here and then Lord

:17:43. > :17:48.Montagu decided hef going to expand the collection. He was doing it for

:17:48. > :17:54.his father. His father was a motoring pioneer. It is in the

:17:54. > :18:00.family? Yes. He moved the cars. Hello! To the pantry and the

:18:01. > :18:05.kitchen. And it smelled so badly of oil, the women said it is us or the

:18:05. > :18:11.cars. Come and clean this up again. So he took the cars outside and

:18:11. > :18:16.that is how it started. 250 cars later. Kept the cars and kept the

:18:16. > :18:24.wife. Yes. Well done. Now Dan is with a personal with a connection

:18:24. > :18:28.to the cars. We have come into the main collection. This is one of the

:18:28. > :18:34.most incredible collections anywhere. We have everything from

:18:34. > :18:42.the model. The Ford and the thing I'm most excited about are some of

:18:42. > :18:50.the fastest British cars produced. This was christened the Bluebird.

:18:50. > :18:58.What is the story behind this name? My grandfather had a series of nick

:18:58. > :19:05.names for the cars mp one day he was a play called the Bluebird of

:19:05. > :19:11.happiness and bought tin of blue paint and painted the car blue and

:19:11. > :19:18.christened it Bluebird and won his first race. It became his Bluebird

:19:18. > :19:23.of happy ps. Here is footage of it breaking the record. In those days

:19:23. > :19:29.he did 125mph. All these cars followed it, break records. We have

:19:29. > :19:33.the Sunbeam and these are not your family vehicles? No, but my

:19:33. > :19:39.grandfather had a great British battle in the 20s and 30s to be the

:19:39. > :19:43.fastest man in the world. It is a shame that sea grave was killed.

:19:44. > :19:52.Your uncle Don cap bell got the record in this beast. Another

:19:52. > :19:58.Bluebird. What is the difference in horsepower? This is a massive 4,100

:19:58. > :20:08.horsepower, the other was 350. You needed to get that speed. That was

:20:08. > :20:08.

:20:09. > :20:17.the record, in 1964. This is quicker than the McLaren F1 there?

:20:17. > :20:21.Yes it is the fastest car built by a Briton. It is more powerful.

:20:21. > :20:25.have set records with electric cars. What is going on with your family?

:20:25. > :20:29.It is something my grandfather started and this thr is this

:20:29. > :20:36.wanting to go fast and we have got it. Good luck. I expect to come

:20:36. > :20:43.back in a few years and see Morecambe bell cars lined up.

:20:43. > :20:47.hope to have an electric car that can do 500mph. Good luck. Yes good

:20:47. > :20:52.luck to dorn. Now Dan and Michael have been raying around in their

:20:52. > :20:58.own special vehicle, -- racing around in their own vehicle. But it

:20:58. > :21:05.won't break any record. After last week's visit to Preston, Dan pushed

:21:05. > :21:15.it too far. It didn't like that hill. # If you leave me now # You

:21:15. > :21:20.

:21:20. > :21:27.take away the biggest part of me! Please don't go # I just want you

:21:27. > :21:35.to stay! It will take more Nan a broken van to keep those boys down.

:21:35. > :21:40.They're heading north in search of the Romans. Well the van's gone. It

:21:40. > :21:50.blew up. Michael's gone to get me another one. Here he is. Oh you

:21:50. > :21:57.have got to be kidding. Is this a joke? She is called Dougall. This

:21:57. > :22:03.is rubbish. You broke the other one with your massive feet. Where are

:22:03. > :22:08.we going? One of my fundamental periods of history. The Romans. The

:22:08. > :22:14.first people who came here and left any written record and left a lot

:22:14. > :22:24.of archaeology and this is an incredible site. Look at it. Yeah

:22:24. > :22:25.

:22:25. > :22:30.it is incredible. What will we find? We could find wood. That is

:22:30. > :22:37.treasure. Roman wood. No gold? Do we learn anything from these

:22:37. > :22:44.digs. Are they worth it. Or do you just find the same stuff? Possibly

:22:44. > :22:50.the highlight of the site is the tower. There is not much of it left.

:22:50. > :22:57.There is none of it left. There is the found weigh. If you were Italy,

:22:57. > :23:01.why would you come here? It is freezing! The weather's rubbish.

:23:01. > :23:07.Michael wants to know why they came here. It is a difficult question.

:23:07. > :23:13.It is one of the biggest questions in history, why do people invade

:23:13. > :23:19.other lands. If I show him some of the remains that has survived 2,000

:23:19. > :23:24.years, maybe he will get a sense of what Roman Britain was about.

:23:24. > :23:28.surprised they bit it so close to a met way. The old road was behind

:23:28. > :23:33.there. The amount of times I heard the Romans gave us the roads.

:23:33. > :23:40.Before then we didn't go anywhere. We couldn't get past a tree. What

:24:02. > :24:06.pebble, but I see family that have come to a hostile land and tried to

:24:06. > :24:14.survive and protect themselves. This is a human story. If you put

:24:14. > :24:19.it like that. Why didn't you say that at the beginning? Out of all

:24:19. > :24:27.of Britain this is the most Roman bit? Out of north of Britain it is

:24:27. > :24:33.the most important Roman place, yes. It is nothing to do with the Romans.

:24:33. > :24:43.But it was the site of power here. It could have been cool. This is

:24:55. > :25:01.of all Rome. I still don't know why you could come here. We should head

:25:01. > :25:08.north and you may change your mind. How is this van faring? Better than

:25:08. > :25:13.you one you broke. There is Hadrian's wall. It is only two foot

:25:13. > :25:19.high. Look at it. You could jump over that. We're getting close to

:25:19. > :25:27.one of the great sites of the briel. This is called House Steads. That

:25:27. > :25:32.is an archaeology site. That is the best thing you have shown me.

:25:32. > :25:38.the wall was attacked, they could respond to any attack. You know I'm

:25:38. > :25:43.Scottish. Mad people like you. is this? You see this looks like a

:25:43. > :25:50.jumbled pile of rocks. But it is a hospital built to lack after the

:25:50. > :25:56.guys. Kitchen here obviously. Under floor heating. Central heating.

:25:56. > :26:05.Crystal Maze. Look at this, the highlight. Look at these what

:26:05. > :26:11.treens. -- lat Reens. Why did they come here? They came because of the

:26:11. > :26:17.age old reasons for prestige, to show they were the great e and to

:26:17. > :26:22.pillage the land, there were slaifrs here, good agricultural --

:26:22. > :26:27.slaves here and good agricultural land and for all these reasons. You

:26:27. > :26:32.think about our guys in Afghanistan today, they're in fortified camps

:26:32. > :26:36.serving miles from home in a hostile land. That is what is

:26:36. > :26:41.exciting about history. These buildings change, the landscapes

:26:41. > :26:50.change, but the human beings in them don't change. They're just the

:26:50. > :26:58.same? Yes. It is amazing. Nice new wheels. I like Dougall. It is the

:26:58. > :27:02.lesser of two evils. I know it is an interest to you, the romance.

:27:02. > :27:07.Are there any specific foods stuffs that the romance brought with them

:27:07. > :27:14.that have stayed on through the time? Larry. That is a difficult

:27:14. > :27:18.one. The Romans brought everything. It was the first era of

:27:18. > :27:28.globalization. And when they left, that trade got shut off. We went

:27:28. > :27:33.back to eating what we had here. So nothing. What about wines? Would

:27:33. > :27:39.wines have been here? Yes they brought wines. And planted vines.

:27:39. > :27:47.Yes. He knows a lot. Get a tweet in. How effective was the wall at

:27:47. > :27:51.keeping out the Scottish? effective enough! Terrible. It was

:27:51. > :27:54.effective. But it was about stationing troops that could attack

:27:54. > :27:59.over the wall and they were aggressive themselves. They did

:27:59. > :28:08.well. If you want to find out more, head to our web-site. There are

:28:09. > :28:15.activities you can do. You make a Roman Villa out of card board. And
