0:00:09 > 0:00:11My name's Ade Adepitan.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14I kind of see myself as the kid who never gave up.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20Until the age of three, I lived in Lagos, Nigeria,
0:00:20 > 0:00:21and I contracted polio at six months.
0:00:21 > 0:00:25And polio affected me in a way that it meant
0:00:25 > 0:00:28I was unable to walk without the use of callipers,
0:00:28 > 0:00:32which were like iron rods which
0:00:32 > 0:00:37the doctors put on my leg and connected to my shoe.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39And on my first day of school,
0:00:39 > 0:00:42I remember walking into the playground
0:00:42 > 0:00:47and seeing a group of kids playing football and wanting to join in.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49And I know when they looked at me and they saw me
0:00:49 > 0:00:51walking in on my calliper,
0:00:51 > 0:00:54and I was sort of, like, limping and I looked weird,
0:00:54 > 0:00:56I had this crazy shirt that my mum made we wear.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58The guys looked at me and they thought,
0:00:58 > 0:01:01"There's no way he could play sport!"
0:01:01 > 0:01:04And I moaned and nagged at them all day,
0:01:04 > 0:01:08and in the final playtime, they allowed me to play football
0:01:08 > 0:01:09and they told me to go in goal.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13And I remember within the first couple of minutes,
0:01:13 > 0:01:16the best footballer in our school blasted this ball,
0:01:16 > 0:01:22and I managed to jump to one side and save what was going to be a goal.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25And the playground went quiet after I saved it, and I went from
0:01:25 > 0:01:30this crazy-looking, weird kind of kid
0:01:30 > 0:01:35to this sporting hero in one afternoon just because of that save.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38And that moment changed my life.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40'The Britons are in the right place there.'
0:01:40 > 0:01:44Inspirational people are really important in your life.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49When I first watched the Olympic Games,
0:01:49 > 0:01:52I wanted to be like them so much that I would be
0:01:52 > 0:01:55on my sofa in my living room,
0:01:55 > 0:01:59and when the 100m would start for the Olympic Games,
0:01:59 > 0:02:02I'd have my eyes shut and I'd start pumping my arms,
0:02:02 > 0:02:05imagining that I was there as part of the Games.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08My mum would look through the door, thinking I was crazy,
0:02:08 > 0:02:14but it was by seeing these people who were achieving great things,
0:02:14 > 0:02:15it inspired me.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18And I think it's so important that you have those type of people.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26I got into wheelchair basketball by total luck.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31I saw some guys from the Great Britain Wheelchair Basketball Team,
0:02:31 > 0:02:35and they were training and they were amazing.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39They totally changed my ideas, my perceptions,
0:02:39 > 0:02:44because they were in these funky, amazing wheelchairs.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46The wheels were angled like that, they were doing wheelies,
0:02:46 > 0:02:49they were spinning round, they were shooting three-point shots,
0:02:49 > 0:02:51they had massive muscles and they were doing things
0:02:51 > 0:02:54that my friends at school would only dream of doing.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57And that moment is when I looked at them and I thought,
0:02:57 > 0:03:00"This is what I want to do. This is where I want to be."
0:03:00 > 0:03:03I trained six days a week
0:03:03 > 0:03:06and I trained six hours a day,
0:03:06 > 0:03:10and I was shooting up to 800-900 shots a day.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13I was pushing about six miles a day
0:03:13 > 0:03:15and I was spending two hours in the gym.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17And I did this every day,
0:03:17 > 0:03:20and when I finally got selected for the team, it was
0:03:20 > 0:03:22just one of the best moments of my life.
0:03:22 > 0:03:23SCREAMS
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Yeeees!
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Yeeees! Come on!
0:03:28 > 0:03:31My dream started when I was probably about nine years old,
0:03:31 > 0:03:35and I didn't make it into the Great Britain wheelchair basketball team
0:03:35 > 0:03:36until I was 27.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42'Yes! He's got it! He's got it!
0:03:42 > 0:03:46And Great Britain are through to the semi-final. 62 to 59.'
0:03:47 > 0:03:50What it was like, getting on that rostrum
0:03:50 > 0:03:53and having the medal put round my neck and looking at all my other
0:03:53 > 0:03:56team-mates and seeing that we'd done it together,
0:03:56 > 0:03:58that's also something that's really special.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Winning a medal and winning it for yourself is great,
0:04:01 > 0:04:04but knowing that you've gone through all of this
0:04:04 > 0:04:06and you've gone through all of that heartache
0:04:06 > 0:04:08with another group of people is just special.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10It was the best moment!
0:04:14 > 0:04:18If you can believe in yourself, if you can go for something,
0:04:18 > 0:04:21go for everything, then other people will look at you and think,
0:04:21 > 0:04:26"Wow! Look at that person! Look how hard they're trying."
0:04:26 > 0:04:29And you will start being an inspiration for other people.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31It doesn't matter what you look like.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33It doesn't matter whether you have a disability.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36If you believe in yourself, anything is possible.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47My name is Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock
0:04:47 > 0:04:50and I'm a space scientist and a science communicator,
0:04:50 > 0:04:52and that means I put things into space.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58When I first went to school, I didn't enjoy it very much
0:04:58 > 0:05:02cos when you're young, it's all about reading and writing.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05And I suffer from dyslexia, which means that my spelling,
0:05:05 > 0:05:07and when I try and put words together,
0:05:07 > 0:05:08it didn't really work for me.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11But I think there was actually a turning point in my life,
0:05:11 > 0:05:13and it happened to me when I was eight years old.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19I was in the library at school and I saw a book.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23And the book had an astronaut on the cover, and I thought, "Wow!"
0:05:23 > 0:05:26"That's what I want to do. I want to go into space!"
0:05:27 > 0:05:29As a child, I was one of those really annoying kids
0:05:29 > 0:05:32that asked "why" all the time. "Why this?" and "Why that?"
0:05:32 > 0:05:36And that's what it is to be a scientist, is to be inquisitive.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39If you want to be a space scientist,
0:05:39 > 0:05:41there are many different ways of getting in there.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44For instance, I went to university.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47I did a degree in Physics and a PhD in Mechanical Engineering,
0:05:47 > 0:05:49so I was at university for seven years.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52But you don't have to study that long.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56I know many people who leave school and then take up an apprenticeship.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58So, they come and work in the space industry straight away
0:05:58 > 0:06:01and start building things and putting them into space.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Sometimes, when I meet people for the first time
0:06:05 > 0:06:08and tell them I'm a space scientist, they look really surprised
0:06:08 > 0:06:10because I'm not quite what they expect
0:06:10 > 0:06:12a space scientist to look like.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14They expect someone who looks very serious,
0:06:14 > 0:06:16and is usually white and male.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18And you can tell that that's just not me.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21But being a scientist isn't about being white and male
0:06:21 > 0:06:23or being serious. It's about
0:06:23 > 0:06:26having a passion for something, a passion for understanding.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28As a space scientist, I'll specialise my work
0:06:28 > 0:06:31into certain areas. Optical instrumentation.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33So, that is building machines that look at things
0:06:33 > 0:06:37and give us an understanding of things by taking images.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Some of the projects I work on are making a real difference
0:06:40 > 0:06:41to us here on Earth.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43For instance, I was building a satellite
0:06:43 > 0:06:45which told us more about climate change.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Climate change is probably the biggest challenge
0:06:48 > 0:06:49we're facing in our lives,
0:06:49 > 0:06:52and satellites are really helping us to understand it.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55So, space isn't just about out there,
0:06:55 > 0:06:57it's also about looking in and understanding our own planet.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05If I could travel back in time and go and see little Maggie
0:07:05 > 0:07:09growing up, I'd tell her to believe in herself
0:07:09 > 0:07:12because when you believe in yourself, you can achieve so much.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14And it's worked for me.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17So, if I can do that, what can you do?
0:07:25 > 0:07:28As a kid, I really loved sailing, and if you really love sailing,
0:07:28 > 0:07:29where's the furthest that you can sail?
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Well, had to be round the world, didn't it?
0:07:39 > 0:07:42I was trying to be the fastest person ever to sail solo
0:07:42 > 0:07:44non-stop round the world, and I achieved that,
0:07:44 > 0:07:47finishing in 71 days, 14 hours, 18 minutes
0:07:47 > 0:07:49and 33 very important seconds.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02I remember like it was yesterday,
0:08:02 > 0:08:04the first time that I ever went down to the sea.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07And I went down with my grandma and my elder brother,
0:08:07 > 0:08:09and we were good to go sailing for four days.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12And I remember the excitement that I felt inside as we got closer
0:08:12 > 0:08:13to the water.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19The most amazing thing was stepping on the boat for the first time,
0:08:19 > 0:08:22this tiny little boat that we could only just squeeze onto.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25But when we hoisted those sails, it was the greatest sense of freedom
0:08:25 > 0:08:27that I could ever imagine.
0:08:34 > 0:08:35I returned to Derbyshire where I grew up,
0:08:35 > 0:08:38about as far away from the sea as you can possible get.
0:08:38 > 0:08:39And I dreamt about sailing,
0:08:39 > 0:08:43determined that, one day, I would sail around the world.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45One of the big challenges when you want to go sailing is, obviously,
0:08:45 > 0:08:47having a boat, and when I was four years old,
0:08:47 > 0:08:50I obviously didn't have one. But from the age of eight,
0:08:50 > 0:08:53I started saving my Christmas money and birthday money.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55I never had pocket money, so when I was aged 11,
0:08:55 > 0:08:57at secondary school, I started to have
0:08:57 > 0:09:01mashed potato and baked beans every single day, including free gravy.
0:09:01 > 0:09:02I got through a lot of free gravy in our school!
0:09:02 > 0:09:04And every day, I'd save the pennies.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07And when that little pile of pennies reached 100,
0:09:07 > 0:09:08I'd drop it into the money box.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11And I'd draw a little cross on the 100-square chart
0:09:11 > 0:09:13that I'd drawn on a piece of paper behind it.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16And once eventually that chart was full with £100,
0:09:16 > 0:09:18I'd go along to the building society.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21And it was like that that I bought my first, second and then third boat.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30At school, I thought if you wanted to be successful in life,
0:09:30 > 0:09:32you had to go to university, and I thought my way
0:09:32 > 0:09:35to sail around the world would be, one day, to save enough money
0:09:35 > 0:09:39to buy a boat to do that. But when I was 17 and doing my exam results,
0:09:39 > 0:09:42trying to get into university, I was struck down with glandular fever.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45And that changed my mind because I realised there was a different way
0:09:45 > 0:09:47to sail around the world through a TV programme
0:09:47 > 0:09:49on at three o'clock in the morning
0:09:49 > 0:09:50about the Whitbread Round the World Race.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52And I remember seeing the images
0:09:52 > 0:09:54of these people sailing around the world,
0:09:54 > 0:09:57the images of the action, the images of the sea,
0:09:57 > 0:09:59the music. And I watched all this,
0:09:59 > 0:10:02and I said, in that second, "That's what I'm going to do. I'm going to
0:10:02 > 0:10:05"find a sponsor, and I'm going to sail around the world."
0:10:05 > 0:10:08I feel really lucky to have known exactly what I was trying to do
0:10:08 > 0:10:11when I was a kid, and to know that every single step that I made
0:10:11 > 0:10:14in my life was trying to take me closer to that goal. And it was
0:10:14 > 0:10:16a massive goal, virtually impossible for a kid
0:10:16 > 0:10:18that grew up in Derbyshire to sail around the world.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20But I knew exactly where I was going,
0:10:20 > 0:10:23and it helped me make all the decisions to get to that point.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Sailing round the world, you see different things every day.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31The sea's a different colour, the sky's different,
0:10:31 > 0:10:32the wildlife around you's different.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35You're basically watching the ocean, but it's ever changing.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38When you come round Cape Horn, this tiny gap between
0:10:38 > 0:10:40the tip of South America and Antarctica,
0:10:40 > 0:10:43you come out and you head north. And the first sunset, generally,
0:10:43 > 0:10:46is absolutely stunning with brighter colours than you can ever imagine.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Or deep in the Southern Ocean,
0:10:48 > 0:10:50where the waves are 40, 50, 60 foot high,
0:10:50 > 0:10:52almost as high as the mast of the boat,
0:10:52 > 0:10:54and yet you're sailing down those waves.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57And sometimes, when the clouds move, you see the moon. You feel
0:10:57 > 0:11:00like you're sailing down these moonlit, sparkling mountains.
0:11:00 > 0:11:01It's absolutely beautiful.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08I was asked, when I finished sailing around the world,
0:11:08 > 0:11:11whether the day I finished in Falmouth was the biggest
0:11:11 > 0:11:13day of my life. It was asked by a journalist.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15And I turned round to him and I said,
0:11:15 > 0:11:18"I'm sure that's still to come, but it's not a bad one."
0:11:18 > 0:11:20And I really believe in that.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22The biggest thing, the most incredible thing
0:11:22 > 0:11:24that will ever happen to you is always in front of you.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27And the moment you think it's not, life gets a bit boring.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Once upon a time, a little girl was born
0:11:38 > 0:11:41in the belly button of Britain in Birmingham.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45But she had a problem. Whenever she opened her mouth,
0:11:45 > 0:11:48words did not come out normally
0:11:48 > 0:11:51and people couldn't understand her.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53And that little girl, that was me.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55My name's Katrice.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01I had a problem with talking,
0:12:01 > 0:12:04and I became very scared to talk,
0:12:04 > 0:12:07even though I had gone to speech therapy lessons.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09And one of my main ways of dealing
0:12:09 > 0:12:13with that was to disappear into the land of story.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16I would imagine I was a princess locked in a tower,
0:12:16 > 0:12:20I would imagine that somebody was going to rescue me,
0:12:20 > 0:12:23and I would imagine a happy ever after for myself.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27And I really believe that that helped me survive
0:12:27 > 0:12:28a time that was very painful.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33So, perhaps that makes me a better storyteller.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Something that could have been very negative
0:12:35 > 0:12:39has actually become something that I think is quite positive.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43I left school with no qualifications at all,
0:12:43 > 0:12:46went on to college and got a couple of qualifications.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49And when I was there, I started to work as a volunteer
0:12:49 > 0:12:52on the big adventure playground, 200 kids a day.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54It was brilliant, absolutely wild.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58And while there, I started to tell stories to the children
0:12:58 > 0:13:00and I found I had a bit of a knack for it.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03They really liked the stories, especially the scary ones.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12But it wasn't until I went to live in Ghana
0:13:12 > 0:13:15that I saw stories being used in a way
0:13:15 > 0:13:17that wasn't just about entertainment.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19In Ghana, they used storytelling
0:13:19 > 0:13:21to pass on messages about health education.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24And I saw that and I thought, "This is it.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28"This is what I want to do. This is what I was born to do,
0:13:28 > 0:13:31"to combine my passion for people and children
0:13:31 > 0:13:34"with my passion for stories and language."
0:13:34 > 0:13:36And I haven't looked back since. I really haven't.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39I absolutely love my job.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41I just love it!
0:13:41 > 0:13:44And they fell. Down, down, down,
0:13:44 > 0:13:46deeper and deeper and deeper.
0:13:46 > 0:13:47They opened their mouths to breathe.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49The water filled their lungs and...
0:13:57 > 0:13:58I don't know loads of stuff.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01But there's one thing I have learnt.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04You are your own storyteller.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08You need to start to question what people say about you.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10And it's only when you start to question
0:14:10 > 0:14:12that you find out who you are.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23My name is Ryan Neile, and I work as an animal behaviourist.
0:14:24 > 0:14:25Good boy!
0:14:26 > 0:14:27Feet!
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Good boy! Good boy!
0:14:29 > 0:14:33An animal behaviourist works closely with animals,
0:14:33 > 0:14:36attempting to resolve behaviour problems.

0:14:37 > 0:14:38CLICKS
0:14:38 > 0:14:39Oz! Sit.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Yes!
0:14:45 > 0:14:48As a ten or eleven-year-old, I remember being very shy.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53I would always be very quiet.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57I used to actually pretend that I was a dog! I would crawl around
0:14:57 > 0:15:01on all fours, and I would go to sleep under the coffee table.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03And I used to really worry my mum
0:15:03 > 0:15:07because I think she thought that maybe I wouldn't stop being a dog.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11I wasn't learning in the same way as my friends.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15I wasn't able to remember things.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18I had problems learning in classrooms.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23I noticed that I was
0:15:23 > 0:15:25slightly different to everybody else.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28I think that that had a big knock-on effect
0:15:28 > 0:15:31in terms of my confidence and my self-esteem.
0:15:34 > 0:15:39As a teenager, I'm feeling pretty useless,
0:15:39 > 0:15:41hadn't decided, really, what I wanted to do with my life,
0:15:41 > 0:15:44failing miserably at school.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47And it was round about then that I was reluctantly sent
0:15:47 > 0:15:50on a behaviour course with dogs. Didn't really want to go,
0:15:50 > 0:15:55and when I went, I had this most amazing experience.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59Suddenly, it was like my brain was lit up like a Christmas tree
0:15:59 > 0:16:04because, suddenly, I was able to really learn
0:16:04 > 0:16:06and take on this information.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10And I recognised that a lot of the qualities that I had,
0:16:10 > 0:16:13about being patient and listening,
0:16:13 > 0:16:16were a real strength in this particular area.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18The best bits about my job
0:16:18 > 0:16:21is that I get to spend lots of time with animals.
0:16:22 > 0:16:27And animals, in so many ways, are just as interesting as people.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29They have their own complex personalities,
0:16:29 > 0:16:34they have a sense of humour, and they're just great to be around.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37And over the years, I've learnt so much from them.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Did you know that when dogs yawn,
0:16:39 > 0:16:43they might not always be tired when they do this?
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Sometimes, they will do it when they are feeling stressed
0:16:45 > 0:16:47or worried about something.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Hey! What are you doing? What are you doing?
0:16:52 > 0:16:57I really wish that when I was younger,
0:16:57 > 0:17:01I wasn't compared to everybody else,
0:17:01 > 0:17:05because everyone else was doing really well at school,
0:17:05 > 0:17:07that I was, in some way, not as clever as them.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09The reality was I was just as clever
0:17:09 > 0:17:12as all of my friends.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14I just learned in a very different way to them.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Everywhere I go, when I open a door,
0:17:25 > 0:17:29whether I'm on the train, on the tube, going on holiday,
0:17:29 > 0:17:32we're surrounded by smell. And this is what I do for a living.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35I'm recreating smells for people to enjoy.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41I never set out to become a perfumer.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44It all happened just because of this lovely bottle of perfume.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47My mother gave it to me when I was 12 years old,
0:17:47 > 0:17:49and for me, this was like
0:17:49 > 0:17:51a bottle of perfume treasure. It sat on my dressing table.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53It looked absolutely wonderful.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55It took pride of place in my bedroom.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Shortly afterwards, I said to my mother, you know,
0:17:58 > 0:18:01"Could I just collect all the perfume bottles that you've got
0:18:01 > 0:18:03"when you've finished with them?" And gradually,
0:18:03 > 0:18:06over a number of years, I just had absolutely loads of perfume bottles.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09And people used to come in and say, "Wow! This looks amazing!"
0:18:09 > 0:18:11"Are you going to become a perfumer?"
0:18:14 > 0:18:17And do you know what? I never gave it much thought until that moment
0:18:17 > 0:18:20and realising this was something I'd really love to do.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26What really got my business going was the chance meeting
0:18:26 > 0:18:28with an old friend who remembered all the things I used to make
0:18:28 > 0:18:30as a little girl and he said, "You know, Linda,
0:18:30 > 0:18:33"do you think you could make a fantastic scented candle
0:18:33 > 0:18:34"for my shop?"
0:18:34 > 0:18:36And that was the moment that gave me the opportunity
0:18:36 > 0:18:38to get my business off the ground.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Most people think perfumes are made from flowers and trees and grasses,
0:18:41 > 0:18:45but I can tell you there are some very, very unusual ingredients.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49Perhaps the most unusual one is called ambergris,
0:18:49 > 0:18:52whale vomit! Now, you might ask yourself, "Whale vomit?!
0:18:52 > 0:18:55"That must be crazy! Why would you use such a thing?"
0:18:55 > 0:19:00But the whale has one natural enemy, the giant squid.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03And when they fight in the water, usually, the whale wins.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07And he gobbles up the giant squid. When he swallows the squid,
0:19:07 > 0:19:12the whale doesn't feel very well,
0:19:12 > 0:19:14and then he vomits it out onto the sea.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18And believe it or not, a great big lump of fatty whale vomit
0:19:18 > 0:19:21is worth over 1 million!
0:19:21 > 0:19:23And there are people in this world
0:19:23 > 0:19:27whose sole job is to hunt down the ambergris.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31Now, after several years in the perfume industry,
0:19:31 > 0:19:33I've been working very, very hard.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35I've got a few shops in London,
0:19:35 > 0:19:38and people are selling my perfume all over the world.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42And it just shows you that if you have a real passion for something,
0:19:42 > 0:19:44and you work really, really hard,
0:19:44 > 0:19:47and you truly believe you can do this, that's half the battle won.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Even if you don't have a passion at the moment
0:19:53 > 0:19:56or any particular focus on any particular hobby, it doesn't matter
0:19:56 > 0:19:59because you never know when it's going to happen. It might be now,
0:19:59 > 0:20:02it might be when you're a young teenager, or an adult.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Just recognise it when it comes along.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08If it really switches you on, then just go for it.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20My name's Ho-Yin and I'm an architect and I design buildings.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27When I was at school, I found it sometimes a bit of a struggle.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29I wasn't really enjoying my lessons
0:20:29 > 0:20:31and I was struggling a bit academically.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33I never thought that I excelled in anything.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37I enjoyed doing art, but I never thought I was the best.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39I always thought, looking around,
0:20:39 > 0:20:42there were people making better clay models,
0:20:42 > 0:20:45drawing better pencil drawings than me,
0:20:45 > 0:20:48I never really thought that I was the best at it.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55I was given the opportunity to do some work experience
0:20:55 > 0:20:57and this really enabled me
0:20:57 > 0:21:00to understand what an architect really did.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02It was not only drawing that you were doing,
0:21:02 > 0:21:05but also the creative thinking behind it as well.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07The first thing I did was, quite simply,
0:21:07 > 0:21:09just to take a piece of tracing paper
0:21:09 > 0:21:12and to actually copy a couple of their drawings they'd done
0:21:12 > 0:21:17of this residential apartment block in central London.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19They could see I was really enjoying it.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22I was learning how to use these special pens they had,
0:21:22 > 0:21:24using what they call a slide rule,
0:21:24 > 0:21:26moving up and down and drawing all these lines
0:21:26 > 0:21:29and I was really enjoying it and being enthusiastic.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32I started drawing my own house where we were living
0:21:32 > 0:21:35and sort of re-planning my bedroom and things like this.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37It completely opened up the world to me.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39I saw architecture in a completely different sense.
0:21:39 > 0:21:45And when I left, they gave me a present - a set of drawing pens.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48This is one of them
0:21:48 > 0:21:52and this was, I guess, really to encourage me,
0:21:52 > 0:21:56because outside of my parents, no-one had ever really given me a gift.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00I used these since I left and I used them through university
0:22:00 > 0:22:02and I've still got them now
0:22:02 > 0:22:05so these really, I guess, started my career.
0:22:09 > 0:22:10Don't be afraid.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Don't be afraid to explore, to explore your passions,
0:22:13 > 0:22:15no matter what they might be.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18If you're really passionate about them
0:22:18 > 0:22:20and you really explore the opportunities,
0:22:20 > 0:22:23something will always come because of it.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33I'm going to tell you what life is like as an adventurer.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45My first big adventure was when I cycled all the way around the world.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48I did it on this bike, which I named Beryl.
0:22:50 > 0:22:55When I was at school, I wasn't the strongest or the fastest
0:22:55 > 0:22:57or the cleverest boy in my class.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01I liked games and being out in the woods, I liked riding my bike,
0:23:01 > 0:23:05but I wasn't particularly good at any of those.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07The only difficult thing that, really, I've ever done
0:23:07 > 0:23:10was coming up with these ideas, thinking,
0:23:10 > 0:23:11"I want to go do this adventure."
0:23:15 > 0:23:18When I got on my bike outside my mum and dad's house on the first day
0:23:18 > 0:23:22and I had to say goodbye to all of my friends and my family,
0:23:22 > 0:23:26it was one of the most frightening, lonely moments of my life.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29And as I pedalled down the road away from my house,
0:23:29 > 0:23:34I had no idea then that it was going to take me more than four years
0:23:34 > 0:23:37to get all the way around the world
0:23:37 > 0:23:39and that I would cycle over 46,000 miles
0:23:39 > 0:23:41through 60 countries.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44I didn't have very much money for this trip
0:23:44 > 0:23:47so everything had to be as cheap as possible, so I slept in my tent.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50I'd always make sure to try the foods
0:23:50 > 0:23:52in all of the different countries, but there were a few places
0:23:52 > 0:23:55where the food was not quite what I was used to -
0:23:55 > 0:23:58barbecued guinea pigs in Ecuador,
0:23:58 > 0:24:00and boiled mice on a stick.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02If you imagine the world,
0:24:02 > 0:24:05I set off from my mum and dad's house in the north of England
0:24:05 > 0:24:08and then cycled all the way across Europe
0:24:08 > 0:24:10and through the Middle East to Africa,
0:24:10 > 0:24:13before crossing the Atlantic Ocean on a sailing boat
0:24:13 > 0:24:16- and then cycling right from the bottom of South America...- Whee!
0:24:16 > 0:24:18..all the way to Alaska.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Finally, I crossed the Pacific Ocean on a boat
0:24:21 > 0:24:25and cycled through China back home to England,
0:24:25 > 0:24:28back to my front door and the end of the adventure.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32I met so many people along the way
0:24:32 > 0:24:33and people helped me out
0:24:33 > 0:24:36in all sorts of strange places around the world.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38And the further I went,
0:24:38 > 0:24:42the more the kindness of strangers became important to me.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Rich people, poor people, all different religions,
0:24:45 > 0:24:47different countries.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50People would stop their cars, give me food,
0:24:50 > 0:24:53invite me to stay in their homes for the night
0:24:53 > 0:24:55and it was just amazing how kind people were
0:24:55 > 0:24:57and that really helped me around the world
0:24:57 > 0:25:01and was definitely one of the best things about the whole experience.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06What adventures would interest you?
0:25:06 > 0:25:10Why don't you have a think about things you would really love to do
0:25:10 > 0:25:12and how you're going to go about starting them,
0:25:12 > 0:25:16because adventures can be such a wonderful part of your life
0:25:16 > 0:25:19and you'll never know unless you try them.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30My name is Akram Khan
0:25:30 > 0:25:32and I'm a dancer and choreographer.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36And a choreographer, in the most simplest terms,
0:25:36 > 0:25:41is someone who captures images of the body
0:25:41 > 0:25:45and literally puts it together to create patterns.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48STRING MUSIC PLAYS
0:25:50 > 0:25:54FAST DRUMMING
0:25:58 > 0:26:01I realised that I wanted to move physically
0:26:01 > 0:26:04since I was a child, really. When I was in a classroom
0:26:04 > 0:26:08and there was a desk, and I really didn't like desks
0:26:08 > 0:26:12and I didn't like chairs cos it felt confined, so I couldn't focus at all.
0:26:13 > 0:26:18And I was shy because I had a lot of boys my age
0:26:18 > 0:26:21that were very good with words.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23I realised at a certain point
0:26:23 > 0:26:26that my way of talking is through my body,
0:26:26 > 0:26:28and I was good at it.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34I remember this one moment
0:26:34 > 0:26:40where Thriller, Michael Jackson's video...pop video, came on
0:26:40 > 0:26:43and that kind of literally changed my life
0:26:43 > 0:26:46and I started to immediately imitate.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49And so a few years later, in a school competition,
0:26:49 > 0:26:53suddenly, overnight, the whole school knew me.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56MUSIC: "Thriller" by Michael Jackson
0:27:00 > 0:27:02And they knew me by name.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05So it wasn't this little skinny Bengali boy,
0:27:05 > 0:27:08suddenly it was, "Little skinny Bengali boy called Akram Khan."
0:27:08 > 0:27:10And that was quite a revelation for me.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12# It's close to midnight
0:27:12 > 0:27:16# And something evil's lurking in the dark... #
0:27:16 > 0:27:18The thing that sparked the body was music.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21MUSIC FROM "SACRED MONSTERS"
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Everything around us has a rhythm
0:27:23 > 0:27:25and that means it has life.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29And so, in a sense, whenever the rhythm came on in the music,
0:27:29 > 0:27:32my body would rhythmically respond to that.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44If I was talking to the child version of me...
0:27:44 > 0:27:47"Trust what you like,
0:27:47 > 0:27:50"don't fear it, no matter what anybody says."
0:27:50 > 0:27:55"If you somehow naturally believe
0:27:55 > 0:27:58"or just feel good doing what you do,
0:27:58 > 0:28:00"then usually, that's the right thing."
0:28:17 > 0:28:21'My name is Ayishat Akanbi and I work as a freelance stylist.'
0:28:22 > 0:28:25MUSIC: "Express Yourself" by Labrinth
0:28:25 > 0:28:29# I say the same thing twice I'm awkward when I speak
0:28:29 > 0:28:34# Ain't got the perfect smile Don't turn heads on my street... #
0:28:34 > 0:28:39Fashion and styling were something that I always kind of had in me.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41Even since I was a kid,
0:28:41 > 0:28:43I always kind of wanted my own way of doing things.
0:28:43 > 0:28:48My mum stopped choosing what clothes I wore when I was about five.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50I just had an opinion from then.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54I was like, "Nah, I don't feel that, Mummy. Nah, I'm not wearing that."
0:28:54 > 0:28:56I just got talking to a lot of people
0:28:56 > 0:29:00and started telling people I wanted to be a stylist and stuff like that
0:29:00 > 0:29:03and people seemed to really believe in me,
0:29:03 > 0:29:05even before I'd fully believed in myself.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07People were like, "Yeah, you can do it,"
0:29:07 > 0:29:10and giving me little opportunities here and there.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12I've always had my own sort of style,
0:29:12 > 0:29:15I never really looked like most people
0:29:15 > 0:29:18and I spent so long when I was young trying to fit in
0:29:18 > 0:29:22and then realising, "I don't think that's going to work, it's not me."
0:29:22 > 0:29:25And when I tried to dress how other people dressed,
0:29:25 > 0:29:26I just felt really silly
0:29:26 > 0:29:29and I just felt, it just wasn't comfortable.
0:29:29 > 0:29:33Then I thought, "You know what? I'm just going to be totally who I am."
0:29:33 > 0:29:35Hello, you all right?
0:29:35 > 0:29:36Yeah, how are you?
0:29:36 > 0:29:38Yeah, not too bad.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41A stylist is in control of the overall image of an artist
0:29:41 > 0:29:44or even a regular person.
0:29:44 > 0:29:48'So I basically, I tell them what to wear, basically.'
0:29:48 > 0:29:51With celebrities, generally speaking,
0:29:51 > 0:29:54when you see them on TV, in magazines, in papers,
0:29:54 > 0:29:56they have been styled by someone,
0:29:56 > 0:29:59which is something I never knew until I got into it.

0:30:11 > 0:30:12What we're doing at the moment,
0:30:12 > 0:30:15I've got my lovely work experience girl Nicole
0:30:15 > 0:30:18helping me out with the mood board. She's kind of referencing the images
0:30:18 > 0:30:20of what we need to go out and get today.
0:30:20 > 0:30:24It's just basically cuttings out from magazines, catalogues,
0:30:24 > 0:30:26could be pieces of fabric.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29And then this is what I use to show to the person I'm styling
0:30:29 > 0:30:32and as a reference point for myself
0:30:32 > 0:30:34just to refer back to every now and then
0:30:34 > 0:30:36and make sure everything's consistent.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41So now we're off to the West End, we're going to Oxford Street
0:30:41 > 0:30:44where we're going to hit a high street store, one of my favourites,
0:30:44 > 0:30:46for Labrinth, and see what they've got today.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59The great thing about fashion is that it's all around us,
0:30:59 > 0:31:03so you can learn from people, so whenever I saw an outfit I liked,
0:31:03 > 0:31:06I would question myself as to why I liked it. "What was it?
0:31:06 > 0:31:08"What's drawn you to this?"
0:31:08 > 0:31:10'And then I would kind of note that down in my head'
0:31:10 > 0:31:13and start applying the same principles
0:31:13 > 0:31:14to the way I dressed myself.
0:31:14 > 0:31:18So yeah, this is definitely a Labrinth-esque piece.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21So now we're heading back to the office, where
0:31:21 > 0:31:23I'm going to try it on a friend of mine, James.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26Yeah, thank you again for standing in, for being my Labrinth.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28You can put this on.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31And these shoes. See you in a sec.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33I get to try on clothes on him
0:31:33 > 0:31:37and just make sure everything's working, as they're a similar build.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39SHE LAUGHS
0:31:41 > 0:31:45MUSIC: "Ooh Wee" by Ghostface Killah, Nate Dogg and Mark Ronson
0:31:48 > 0:31:51This is something that Labrinth would wear,
0:31:51 > 0:31:53like, at a festival, on stage.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56It's kind of got that sort of Woodstock vibe about it,
0:31:56 > 0:31:58you know, looks a little earthy,
0:31:58 > 0:32:00which is good for festivals.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02My favourite piece is definitely the shoes.
0:32:02 > 0:32:06I love the white gum sole, the colour,
0:32:06 > 0:32:07I think it just really...
0:32:07 > 0:32:12The green, sort of bottle green and burgundy really work nicely together
0:32:12 > 0:32:14and they kind of pull in what's going on here.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16I have an idea for something.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21'This would be a good outfit for festivals'
0:32:21 > 0:32:22in terms of colour.
0:32:22 > 0:32:26Keeping it quite casual, like a lounge sort of suit, you know?
0:32:26 > 0:32:28And shorts, you know, deck shoes.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33# Oo-ooh wee... #
0:32:33 > 0:32:36Now that this has kind of worked out for me,
0:32:36 > 0:32:38'it was a dream that I had, I wanted to style,
0:32:38 > 0:32:40'and it's worked out.
0:32:40 > 0:32:45'Now, I feel like there's nothing I can't do if I put my mind to it.'
0:32:45 > 0:32:49I think if your will is strong enough
0:32:49 > 0:32:51and you stay motivated,
0:32:51 > 0:32:54even when you have setbacks, even when you fail sometimes,
0:32:54 > 0:32:56you fail again and you fail better
0:32:56 > 0:32:59and you will eventually get to your goal, I think.
0:33:09 > 0:33:15'I'm Fraser Doherty and I run a jam company called SuperJam.
0:33:16 > 0:33:17'I guess some people would imagine
0:33:17 > 0:33:20'running your own business means you go into a big office
0:33:20 > 0:33:22'and wear a suit and sit behind a desk
0:33:22 > 0:33:24'and you're answering the phone all day.'
0:33:24 > 0:33:26But for me, running my own business is a lifestyle
0:33:26 > 0:33:29that allows me to work from home
0:33:29 > 0:33:31and I can spend my time doing things that I enjoy,
0:33:31 > 0:33:34as well as working really hard on trying to grow my business.
0:33:34 > 0:33:38Today, I'm going to be working on some new flavours of jam -
0:33:38 > 0:33:41some strawberry jam and some raspberry jam
0:33:41 > 0:33:43and I want to try and come up with
0:33:43 > 0:33:46some recipes that particularly appeal to kids
0:33:46 > 0:33:49'and it's going to be called SuperJam Junior.'
0:33:49 > 0:33:50Thank you.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57I've got some strawberries, I'm going to chop them up
0:33:57 > 0:34:00and then boil them up and then add grape juice.
0:34:00 > 0:34:01That's all that goes in it.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04So it's all just 100% fruit,
0:34:04 > 0:34:07there's no sugar or any additives or anything like that.
0:34:07 > 0:34:11You have to make sure your idea is something people want to buy
0:34:11 > 0:34:14and when I asked people at farmer's markets what they wanted,
0:34:14 > 0:34:16they told me they wanted jam without sugar,
0:34:16 > 0:34:18so I knew I was onto a good idea.
0:34:20 > 0:34:24One afternoon when I was 14, I was visiting my grandmother
0:34:24 > 0:34:26and she was making jam in her kitchen
0:34:26 > 0:34:29just in the same way as she had for as long as I can remember
0:34:29 > 0:34:31and I got really excited about it
0:34:31 > 0:34:33and asked her to teach me how to make jam.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35Soon, I was making my own jars
0:34:35 > 0:34:39and selling them at farmers' markets and little shops.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42I was making 1,000 jars of jam a week in my parents' kitchen,
0:34:42 > 0:34:44which was about as much as was possible.
0:34:44 > 0:34:48When you start a business, there will be moments where things don't work.
0:34:48 > 0:34:52At one point, Waitrose said no to my idea
0:34:52 > 0:34:55and although I was sad that they said no,
0:34:55 > 0:34:58I was grateful that they gave me honest advice
0:34:58 > 0:35:01and looking back, I'm glad that we changed the labels
0:35:01 > 0:35:04and I'm glad that we moved to a different factory.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06Now we make more than a million jars in a year.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16We run hundreds of tea parties for elderly people all over the country.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18Today, I'm meeting a few people
0:35:18 > 0:35:22'who can hopefully help us start having big tea parties in London.'
0:35:22 > 0:35:25This place would be great for a tea party. Hopefully, they're up for it.
0:35:25 > 0:35:26- Hi!- Hey, how are you?
0:35:27 > 0:35:30'When I was about 16, I had my first big meeting.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32'I went along wearing my dad's suit.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34'It was probably two sizes too big for me
0:35:34 > 0:35:38'and I was pretty frightened at this meeting because it was something new,
0:35:38 > 0:35:42'there was a lot of pressure and I really wanted it to work.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45'But now, when I meet people, I don't feel frightened by it.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48'I've learned that people are usually more than happy to help you
0:35:48 > 0:35:51'and, in fact, there's nothing to be scared of.'
0:35:51 > 0:35:53Thanks very much, everyone.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56'Today, I'm going to take along recipes
0:35:56 > 0:35:59'to a taste test this afternoon with some kids.'
0:35:59 > 0:36:01The kids might like it, they might not like it,
0:36:01 > 0:36:02and if they don't,
0:36:02 > 0:36:05it will be really useful to know what they would do to change it.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07Try and find out how we can make the product
0:36:07 > 0:36:10even better than it already is.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12'Sometimes it's difficult, because
0:36:12 > 0:36:15'I might come up with a kind of jam that I think tastes great
0:36:15 > 0:36:18'and we put it on the shelves, and people don't necessarily buy it.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21'We tried launching rhubarb and ginger jam, which was delicious
0:36:21 > 0:36:24'but unfortunately, didn't fly off the shelves
0:36:24 > 0:36:26'and we had to stop selling it.'
0:36:35 > 0:36:36Hi, my name's Fraser
0:36:36 > 0:36:39and I've made some very special jams for you today to try
0:36:39 > 0:36:42and I'd love to hear what you think. Help yourselves!
0:36:45 > 0:36:49- Mmm! Lovely.- Great.- Yeah.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Which one do you think's got the best label?
0:36:51 > 0:36:52The teddy bear.
0:36:53 > 0:36:57I like the one without seeds
0:36:57 > 0:36:58because it's sweeter.
0:36:58 > 0:37:02- What do you think? Which one's your favourite?- The one with seeds
0:37:02 > 0:37:05- because it's sweeter. - Put your hands up if you think
0:37:05 > 0:37:09- jam for kids without any seeds in is a good idea.- It's a great idea.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13Well, thanks so much for taking part in my taste test.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15I'm really happy that you all liked the idea
0:37:15 > 0:37:17for making jam for kids without any seeds
0:37:17 > 0:37:20I think it's kind of amazing that you can come up with an idea
0:37:20 > 0:37:23and with a bit of hard work, it can change your life.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25It doesn't have to take a lot of money -
0:37:25 > 0:37:27I didn't have access to any money when I was 14.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30It just takes love, imagination and a lot of work.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58'My name is Vicky Jewson and I'm a film director.'
0:37:58 > 0:38:01We're here today at Hinton Skydiving Centre
0:38:01 > 0:38:05to film our stunt woman falling out of a plane 10,000 feet,
0:38:05 > 0:38:08which is a part of the film where she skydives secretly
0:38:08 > 0:38:11into the Middle East undercover, like a spy would.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13- Sorry, Fran, do you mind? - No, no, that's fine.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16Then we know we're definitely going to get that shot.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19I'm the stunt double, so I'm not actually an actress
0:38:19 > 0:38:21but I'm standing in for an actress,
0:38:21 > 0:38:23so I'm pretending to be her.
0:38:23 > 0:38:24'Fran is one of my friends'
0:38:24 > 0:38:28and we started making films together when I was about 12 years old.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31SWING MUSIC PLAYS
0:38:31 > 0:38:33You've got to hide me! I look dreadful!
0:38:33 > 0:38:35Billy can't see me like this, he just can't!
0:38:35 > 0:38:37Nice to see you, too, Nancy.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39Whoa!
0:38:39 > 0:38:42I met her at big school on the first day
0:38:42 > 0:38:45'and Fran and I went on to make about eight films together
0:38:45 > 0:38:46'while I was at school'
0:38:46 > 0:38:49and that kind of lit the torch under my passion for filmmaking.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01So, yeah. Big.
0:39:01 > 0:39:02'A big part of directing,
0:39:02 > 0:39:05'which a lot of people don't realise or understand -
0:39:05 > 0:39:07'it's not just being on set with the actors
0:39:07 > 0:39:09'and picking where your camera's going to go.
0:39:09 > 0:39:13'The real success of a director is when you get into the edit suite.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15If all those shots that you've done
0:39:15 > 0:39:18cut together to create a good story and to create a film,
0:39:18 > 0:39:21then that's really satisfying.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24With the right sound effect, that's going to be perfect.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27This is maybe one of the more wacky things I've done
0:39:27 > 0:39:29- in my time.- In your time.
0:39:29 > 0:39:33There is a lot of tricks to make you believe it's real.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36As you can see, she's looking at her arm there
0:39:36 > 0:39:38and we want to feel like we're now her,
0:39:38 > 0:39:41so we go to this angle where we feel we're looking down at her arm,
0:39:41 > 0:39:44which helps us believe that this bit of fake arm is actually an arm
0:39:44 > 0:39:47and not a bit of fakeness, because you feel connected to it
0:39:47 > 0:39:48because you feel you're her.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54Legs in, arms in,
0:39:54 > 0:39:55zip goes up the front,
0:39:55 > 0:39:56not up the back.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00- How do you feel, Fran?- Nervous.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02- Oh, sorry, Fran!- It's all right!
0:40:02 > 0:40:05Yeah, we need the camera, Malte!
0:40:05 > 0:40:06LAUGHTER
0:40:09 > 0:40:12Positive mental thinking now.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19I am excited about the shots we might get from the aircraft.
0:40:19 > 0:40:23It could be a really good link in the film. It's also quite risky.
0:40:23 > 0:40:27The shot's so important, you've got one chance to get it.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29Yeah, they're jumping. See them?
0:40:29 > 0:40:31There goes the other one, there's Fran.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33I can't wait to see the footage.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36There's Malte, that's Malte up there.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38- How do you know? - Because he's got red.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41Oh, we won't know until the plane lands if we've got our shot or not.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44- Is that one person?- Yeah.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46FRAN SHRIEKS
0:40:46 > 0:40:48Sorry, Fran!
0:40:48 > 0:40:50Wow.
0:40:51 > 0:40:52Shall we go greet them?
0:40:52 > 0:40:54I'm on the ground!
0:40:54 > 0:40:56- Awesome.- Yeah?
0:40:56 > 0:40:57That was actually quite fun.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02Oh, my God.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Just...
0:41:04 > 0:41:07Ah, amazing. Ah, yes! That's awesome.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09- Great.- Gets it all quicker.
0:41:09 > 0:41:13It just gives you the feeling of being on top of the world
0:41:13 > 0:41:17when the shot that you've imagined for years finally comes out.
0:41:17 > 0:41:21If I was to go back and tell my nine or eleven-year-old self what to do,
0:41:21 > 0:41:23I think I would just say,
0:41:23 > 0:41:27"Never give up, and believe in yourself
0:41:27 > 0:41:30"because if you keep going and pursuing what you love,
0:41:30 > 0:41:32"it will work out for you."
0:41:32 > 0:41:34And doing it with people you care about,
0:41:34 > 0:41:37and to be able to do that for a job is amazing
0:41:37 > 0:41:39and to be reminded of that, sometimes, is really good.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51I usually cycle into work
0:41:51 > 0:41:54and when I'm getting nearer to the office,
0:41:54 > 0:41:57I'm kind of, in my mind, imagining what I have to do today
0:41:57 > 0:42:02and how I'm going to manage the time that I need to do it in.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05This is the office where we make games.
0:42:16 > 0:42:17We make football management games,
0:42:17 > 0:42:21which are games where, rather than controlling the action on the pitch,
0:42:21 > 0:42:23you're controlling everything off the pitch
0:42:23 > 0:42:25and the tactics and the transfers.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27It's effectively a role-playing game
0:42:27 > 0:42:30that allows you to be a football manager.
0:42:33 > 0:42:37I first started drawing when I was around five
0:42:37 > 0:42:39and the only reason I started drawing
0:42:39 > 0:42:42was cos my brother was really good at it
0:42:42 > 0:42:44and he got loads of attention from it
0:42:44 > 0:42:47and I wanted to be better than him, cos he was my brother.
0:42:49 > 0:42:53In school, I was...I was fairly quiet
0:42:53 > 0:42:56and I was always daydreaming
0:42:56 > 0:42:58and had my head in the clouds.
0:42:58 > 0:43:02I spent a lot of time as a child playing computer games.
0:43:03 > 0:43:04Way too much time.
0:43:04 > 0:43:09The only other times I didn't spend on it, I was playing football.
0:43:09 > 0:43:12It feels good now working in the video games industry,
0:43:12 > 0:43:16cos it was something that used to get me in trouble quite a lot.
0:43:16 > 0:43:19It's really easy to end up the person that's playing the games
0:43:19 > 0:43:20rather than making the games,
0:43:20 > 0:43:23because you're going to come across a lot of obstacles
0:43:23 > 0:43:28and it's really easy to get discouraged by those obstacles,
0:43:28 > 0:43:30but you have to just keep trying
0:43:30 > 0:43:34and keep thinking that the next time round, you'll get it.
0:43:39 > 0:43:44So I'm actually now just taking pictures of players in their kits.
0:43:44 > 0:43:46I'm just going to use it as reference
0:43:46 > 0:43:50for basically, the creases on their shirts and making textures.
0:43:50 > 0:43:53And then later on, we'll take the pictures back to the office
0:43:53 > 0:43:55and create the player models.
0:44:00 > 0:44:02The strangest part of my job
0:44:02 > 0:44:06is that I go around taking pictures of random things
0:44:06 > 0:44:08and no-one other than me knows why.
0:44:10 > 0:44:14So I could look like I'm taking a picture of a brick wall
0:44:14 > 0:44:18or a piece of dirt and it just looks strange to other people
0:44:18 > 0:44:21but to me, it's really useful.
0:44:21 > 0:44:26The games look real because of observation.
0:44:26 > 0:44:30Things like light and shade and contrast are really important,
0:44:30 > 0:44:34because they give you an idea of the time of day
0:44:34 > 0:44:37and they also make the characters stick out
0:44:37 > 0:44:39or fade into the background if they need to be.
0:44:39 > 0:44:43If you're going to be an artist, you really need the natural flair
0:44:43 > 0:44:45of being able to look at things in the real world
0:44:45 > 0:44:49and work out how you can then computerise those
0:44:49 > 0:44:51so that it either looks realistic,
0:44:51 > 0:44:54if you're making a photo-realistic game,
0:44:54 > 0:44:58or it just fits in with the character inside the game
0:44:58 > 0:45:00and the characters of the world.
0:45:00 > 0:45:03Ronnie is incredibly laidback,
0:45:03 > 0:45:08which is an important thing, because you need to be incredibly patient,
0:45:08 > 0:45:12because you need every single pixel to be perfect.
0:45:12 > 0:45:15I never expected to have the job I've got - like, never.
0:45:15 > 0:45:20'I didn't think it was possible for, like, a young black kid'
0:45:20 > 0:45:23to be able to make it into the games industry.
0:45:23 > 0:45:27Just cos I always thought that the games industry was for
0:45:27 > 0:45:30kind of, like, geeky white nerds, basically.
0:45:30 > 0:45:35It's only just a perception, and you just basically have to work for it
0:45:35 > 0:45:37and you'll get there if you keep putting the work in.
0:45:45 > 0:45:48My name's Charlotte Harbottle and I'm a butcher.
0:45:53 > 0:45:55- Thanks so much.- Thank you.
0:45:55 > 0:45:58'I used to enjoy visiting the butcher's shop when I was little'
0:45:58 > 0:46:00and it was fun, I enjoyed it, but
0:46:00 > 0:46:02when you see this big rosy man behind the counter,
0:46:02 > 0:46:03you don't, as a little girl,
0:46:03 > 0:46:07imagine, "You know what? Some day I want to be like that." So...
0:46:07 > 0:46:10but then when I went to university, I ran out of money.
0:46:10 > 0:46:13You fall into a job and you fall in love with it,
0:46:13 > 0:46:15and that's how it works.
0:46:16 > 0:46:19'Safety is so important. It's very boring
0:46:19 > 0:46:21'but it's something that you have to take into account.
0:46:21 > 0:46:24You've got to make sure that your hair's tied back.
0:46:25 > 0:46:28'Wearing chainmail is something I didn't really anticipate
0:46:28 > 0:46:30'I'd have to wear. On top of everything else,
0:46:30 > 0:46:33'it weighs about the same as two house bricks.'
0:46:33 > 0:46:35It's kind of lots of little circles.
0:46:35 > 0:46:37It means the knife point can't actually touch your skin.
0:46:38 > 0:46:42'One of the biggest challenges for me with working with meat
0:46:42 > 0:46:43'is trying to remember everything,
0:46:43 > 0:46:46'because I'm the sort of person who can't learn by watching,
0:46:46 > 0:46:49'I need to learn by doing it, I need to get stuck in.'
0:46:49 > 0:46:50- You want to have a go?- Yeah, sure.
0:46:54 > 0:46:56So... OK, just so that I'm...
0:46:56 > 0:46:59- Cos I don't want to cut it, then... - No, no, listen, cut it.
0:46:59 > 0:47:00Get onto that bone.
0:47:00 > 0:47:04That's it, now go round. That's it.
0:47:04 > 0:47:07Beef is probably the hardest part to learn in butchery.
0:47:07 > 0:47:10They always say that if you perfect beef, you can do anything.
0:47:10 > 0:47:14Her first attempt at doing a top bit of beef today,
0:47:14 > 0:47:15which she's doing really well.
0:47:17 > 0:47:20What it's doing is giving her knife skills,
0:47:20 > 0:47:25because she's having to move her knife, find the bone, find seams,
0:47:25 > 0:47:27it's not easy.
0:47:27 > 0:47:30- Put your fingers in there cos that's going to fall.- It'll fall, I know.
0:47:30 > 0:47:32Just keep your knife to the bone, yeah?
0:47:33 > 0:47:35That's it, brilliant, well done.
0:47:35 > 0:47:38That'll keep me going for about a week.
0:47:38 > 0:47:40That is really good.
0:47:40 > 0:47:42That is really good.
0:47:42 > 0:47:45- Yeah.- You ain't going to get cleaner than that.
0:47:45 > 0:47:46It is a lot of money.
0:47:46 > 0:47:50That piece of beef would have cost over a couple of grand, easily.
0:47:50 > 0:47:51Anybody who eats meat,
0:47:51 > 0:47:54I don't really think they can be squeamish about it,
0:47:54 > 0:47:56because it has to have come from somewhere.
0:47:56 > 0:47:59You need to make sure that the product you get
0:47:59 > 0:48:01is as good as it can be
0:48:01 > 0:48:04and the way that it can be as good as it can be -
0:48:04 > 0:48:06basically, by ensuring it's happy
0:48:06 > 0:48:08and it's well fed while it's alive
0:48:08 > 0:48:11and just generally has a lot of fresh air.
0:48:11 > 0:48:14I could work in an office, I know I could work in an office,
0:48:14 > 0:48:16'but my mates couldn't come in here and do what I do,
0:48:16 > 0:48:19'even to this stage. And I'm still so...
0:48:19 > 0:48:21'I've got so much more to learn still.'
0:48:21 > 0:48:23'If you don't listen, you won't learn.
0:48:23 > 0:48:25'You've got to always be trying to get better.'
0:48:25 > 0:48:29When I started butchery, I started writing a blog
0:48:29 > 0:48:33'just to record different teaching and different methods of butchery.'
0:48:34 > 0:48:37'As a result, I am writing for different magazines,
0:48:37 > 0:48:39'writing for all sorts of different people.'
0:48:39 > 0:48:44You have to write your ideas down or else you forget. I certainly forget.
0:48:45 > 0:48:48But it's so important to kind of, you know,
0:48:48 > 0:48:51write down different things that I want to learn
0:48:51 > 0:48:54and different ways for me to remember.
0:48:54 > 0:48:56Many of my friends do more glamorous jobs,
0:48:56 > 0:48:59they work in an office, they get to wear nice clothes to work.
0:48:59 > 0:49:02'But I get so much more pleasure from doing my job
0:49:02 > 0:49:04'and I'm lucky at the moment,
0:49:04 > 0:49:06'because I'm given the opportunity to learn
0:49:06 > 0:49:08'in one of the best butcheries in the country.'
0:49:08 > 0:49:11If I was to go back to my younger self,
0:49:11 > 0:49:15I would probably say, just pursue
0:49:15 > 0:49:18and enjoy the things that I like doing.
0:49:18 > 0:49:22So no matter what it is, even if none of your friends are into it
0:49:22 > 0:49:24or it's not fashionable,
0:49:24 > 0:49:28or not cool or whatever, I think that you should just do it anyway.
0:49:47 > 0:49:50I didn't know what I wanted to do at school.
0:49:50 > 0:49:51I was quite good at maths
0:49:51 > 0:49:56and you need a certain amount of geometry skills to be a stonemason,
0:49:56 > 0:49:58understanding numbers.
0:49:58 > 0:50:01And it was in my last year at school,
0:50:01 > 0:50:04'I did work experience as a stonemason
0:50:04 > 0:50:07'so I did a whole week as a stonemason,'
0:50:07 > 0:50:09then they offered me a job at the end of it,
0:50:09 > 0:50:13'saying that I might have had some sort of natural skill,
0:50:13 > 0:50:15'so I finished school,
0:50:15 > 0:50:19finished my GCSEs, knuckled down with them and then came up
0:50:19 > 0:50:21and I've worked ever since.
0:50:27 > 0:50:31We're sat in the quarry of Ham Hill.
0:50:31 > 0:50:34These bits here have been pulled out of the floor.
0:50:34 > 0:50:37So what you can see there is millions
0:50:37 > 0:50:39and millions and millions of years of history.
0:50:42 > 0:50:47A stonemason carves stone straight out from the floor
0:50:47 > 0:50:49into ornamental shapes,
0:50:49 > 0:50:54nice flowery patterns to go into buildings, really.
0:50:54 > 0:50:57'When you're doing any sort of trade,
0:50:57 > 0:51:02'measurements are key, and you're always taught
0:51:02 > 0:51:05'to check, check, check again before you work it
0:51:05 > 0:51:08'because once it's worked, it's sort of too late.'
0:51:09 > 0:51:12'Today, I'll be carving a base stone,'
0:51:12 > 0:51:15which a bronze lion's going to be standing on.
0:51:15 > 0:51:20Over here is the old pieces of plinth.
0:51:20 > 0:51:23It's about 150 years old
0:51:23 > 0:51:27and there were a couple of cracks in it and bits fallen off,
0:51:27 > 0:51:31so we're just carving a new one to restore the house.
0:51:31 > 0:51:35I'm drawing on a line that I'm going to cut to. It only has to be rough.
0:51:44 > 0:51:48They think that the stone we're replacing is 150 years old.
0:51:48 > 0:51:52We're hoping that this one will last the same, if not longer.
0:51:55 > 0:51:59My next job is to do some letter cutting.
0:51:59 > 0:52:02I've got to carve "Orchard End" on this stone here.
0:52:03 > 0:52:06We get stone out of the quarry.
0:52:06 > 0:52:10The large saw tends to cut two sides of the stone
0:52:10 > 0:52:14and then they can pass it on to the smaller saws,
0:52:14 > 0:52:17which will then cut it into a six-sided block,
0:52:17 > 0:52:22depending on the shape and size of what we need to carve it into.
0:52:22 > 0:52:26'It'll then come to the stonemason to be finished.'
0:52:27 > 0:52:29'I've just spun the stone
0:52:29 > 0:52:33'to get rid of any whip marks left from the saw when they cut it
0:52:33 > 0:52:36'and I've just washed it off to get rid of the dust.'
0:52:41 > 0:52:46'I'm quite laid back, which helps, being a stonemason,'
0:52:46 > 0:52:48to be laid back and relaxed about things.
0:52:48 > 0:52:51When I did work experience,
0:52:51 > 0:52:55I didn't really appreciate the patience and the work load in it
0:52:55 > 0:52:58but it didn't take long before I did.
0:52:58 > 0:53:00'Yeah, just be patient with it
0:53:00 > 0:53:04'and it will all come into its own in time.'
0:53:04 > 0:53:07My brother was always a lot better than me at everything we did
0:53:07 > 0:53:09so that always kind of put me off,
0:53:09 > 0:53:12but I found something that I was quite good at.
0:53:13 > 0:53:17Once you've finished cutting all the letters,
0:53:17 > 0:53:20you can just rub the surface of your stone
0:53:20 > 0:53:24with a diamond-encrusted hand rubbing pad.
0:53:26 > 0:53:31And that'll just take any more sort of whips out of the surface
0:53:31 > 0:53:34that you don't want, and then that's the job done.
0:53:36 > 0:53:39There's always something for everybody.
0:53:39 > 0:53:44You've got to be able to put in a bit of effort to find it,
0:53:44 > 0:53:47it won't always find you.
0:53:47 > 0:53:52And when you do find it, you've got to really go for it
0:53:52 > 0:53:55and don't let the opportunity go.
0:53:55 > 0:53:57Everyone gets opportunities in life
0:53:57 > 0:53:59but it's just whether they take them or not.
0:54:18 > 0:54:19'I'm Puja Varsani
0:54:19 > 0:54:23'and I do Product Design and Robotics at Middlesex University.'
0:54:24 > 0:54:27When I was in school, I had, like, big dreams.
0:54:27 > 0:54:31I wanted to be a lawyer, I wanted to be an architect,
0:54:31 > 0:54:33then I sort of went on this path
0:54:33 > 0:54:35cos I was really good at design technology
0:54:35 > 0:54:38and I'd found product design and I've not looked back, really.
0:54:39 > 0:54:43It's just one of those things that I've just sort of fallen into
0:54:43 > 0:54:45and I've just loved from day one.
0:54:45 > 0:54:50What I love about robotics is the fact that you can make something
0:54:50 > 0:54:52and you can give it life and you can give it movement.
0:54:52 > 0:54:56Straightaway, you can see the achievements you've made.
0:54:56 > 0:54:57In the future,
0:54:57 > 0:55:01there's the possibility of having a lot more robots in the household
0:55:01 > 0:55:05and they could be doing a number of things,
0:55:05 > 0:55:07from just being a companion
0:55:07 > 0:55:09to washing dishes
0:55:09 > 0:55:11or cleaning your room.
0:55:11 > 0:55:15But you'd want to be comfortable with it and you'd want to trust it
0:55:15 > 0:55:17to be able to live with it in your house
0:55:17 > 0:55:19and that's what my research is based on.
0:55:21 > 0:55:23'You have to be very practical, hands-on,
0:55:23 > 0:55:26'you want to want to get your hands dirty
0:55:26 > 0:55:29'and want to go into the workshop and create all these crazy things.'
0:55:29 > 0:55:32Even if it doesn't work just for fun,
0:55:32 > 0:55:35just go in there and just have fun, basically.
0:55:35 > 0:55:37Depending on what project I do,
0:55:37 > 0:55:39'I'd start off sketching.'
0:55:41 > 0:55:44As long as you've got the basics, the raw basics of sketching
0:55:44 > 0:55:48and you have the ability to quickly sketch out your idea
0:55:48 > 0:55:50so someone else can understand it.
0:55:50 > 0:55:53And then I begin to design it on the computer.
0:55:53 > 0:55:55So, first what you need to do
0:55:55 > 0:56:00is make sure that you know roughly what size you're working to
0:56:00 > 0:56:02and then the shapes that you need as well,
0:56:02 > 0:56:05and then put it all together,
0:56:05 > 0:56:09and then you get to see what exactly it'll look like as a whole.
0:56:09 > 0:56:10'Once I've done that,
0:56:10 > 0:56:14'I'd go into the workshops and start manufacturing it.'
0:56:16 > 0:56:20I'm going to hit play and it will cut out my template for me.
0:56:31 > 0:56:33And then assembling.
0:56:33 > 0:56:36You sit here and look at it for a good ten seconds
0:56:36 > 0:56:39before you figure out if it's this way or if it's this way.
0:56:41 > 0:56:43And it's this way.
0:56:43 > 0:56:46I got told by my mum that when I was a kid,
0:56:46 > 0:56:49I used to love playing with Lego
0:56:49 > 0:56:53and just making things with Lego and stuff like that.
0:56:53 > 0:56:55And I used to want to take things apart.
0:56:55 > 0:56:58Like, I used to take torches apart just to see what was inside it.
0:56:58 > 0:57:01I wouldn't take apart anything expensive,
0:57:01 > 0:57:02like a toaster or anything.
0:57:06 > 0:57:09'Tomorrow is the first day of my degree show
0:57:09 > 0:57:11'and that's a big thing,
0:57:11 > 0:57:13'because that's what we've been focused towards,
0:57:13 > 0:57:15'that's what we've been working towards.
0:57:15 > 0:57:19This is very cool. It's not what I expected it to be.
0:57:19 > 0:57:21I expected it to be like this, like as grand as this
0:57:21 > 0:57:23but just in a smaller scale.
0:57:23 > 0:57:26'It's a good chance to sort of mingle with industry people as well,
0:57:26 > 0:57:29'cos we can invite them to see what skills we have.
0:57:29 > 0:57:31'And it just showcases our work.'
0:57:34 > 0:57:36I'm a bit apprehensive about the show
0:57:36 > 0:57:38cos it's a very big space we have
0:57:38 > 0:57:42and loads of people are going to come see it.
0:57:42 > 0:57:46The feedback of people's reactions has been quite good.
0:57:46 > 0:57:48They're really engaging and talking to me
0:57:48 > 0:57:52and understanding exactly how I started off with my robots.
0:57:52 > 0:57:55So, yeah, it's positive feedback so far.
0:57:55 > 0:57:57'Explaining it to other people
0:57:57 > 0:58:02'and getting them to have the same passion as I do for what I am doing,
0:58:02 > 0:58:03'that's a bit scary.'
0:58:03 > 0:58:06So basically, what I'm doing is social robotics.
0:58:06 > 0:58:07If you look at how people react
0:58:07 > 0:58:10and their body language and stuff like that
0:58:10 > 0:58:12and convey it to robot language,
0:58:12 > 0:58:14it could be, you know, people could understand it.
0:58:14 > 0:58:18It's mind-blowing, thinking about people that are talking to me
0:58:18 > 0:58:21could potentially be like, "Oh, yeah, jot down your e-mail address,"
0:58:21 > 0:58:24and next week, I might get an e-mail saying, "We want you to do this
0:58:24 > 0:58:26"because we saw you at the degree show
0:58:26 > 0:58:30"and we found that you had such amazing skills."
0:58:30 > 0:58:31So yeah, a bit crazy.
