:00:05. > :00:08.Hello and welcome to the last Inside Out of the series. This week,
:00:08. > :00:10.I'm on the South Essex coast and this is what's coming up on
:00:10. > :00:13.tonight's programme. What happens when an animal
:00:13. > :00:17.sanctuary can't afford to carry on? They are my animals! How dare you?
:00:17. > :00:21.I'm going to find out where they are, I'm going to get them back and
:00:21. > :00:25.I'm going to sue the pants off you lot! Is there a crisis in animal
:00:25. > :00:29.rescue? I get so upset at the little I can do and the amount that
:00:29. > :00:33.needs to be done. The Norfolk fishing lakes at the
:00:33. > :00:39.centre of a planning row. Didn't need planning permission, as far as
:00:39. > :00:42.I know. We reveal that hundreds of planning applications are only made
:00:42. > :00:49.after developments have been completed.
:00:49. > :00:52.And what links Westcliff-on-Sea on the Essex coast to Frank Sinatra?
:00:52. > :01:02.There are three surprising stories from where we live on tonight's
:01:02. > :01:08.
:01:08. > :01:12.Inside Out. -- they are our. What a beautiful day to be at
:01:12. > :01:16.Westcliff-on-Sea. Now, later in the programme, we're going to meet the
:01:16. > :01:17.legend who left Las Vegas to come and live right here in this Essex
:01:17. > :01:24.town. But first, we're asking the
:01:24. > :01:27.question, "Is England still a nation of animal lovers?" Because,
:01:27. > :01:30.according to the RSCPA, over the last five years, the number of
:01:30. > :01:33.abandoned animals has risen by 30%. And, at the same time, animal
:01:34. > :01:36.sanctuaries are struggling for money. We've been to two
:01:36. > :01:46.sanctuaries, one in Norfolk, one in Northamptonshire and we find out
:01:46. > :01:50.
:01:50. > :02:00.what happens when an animal Meet Jane. For the past 26 years
:02:00. > :02:06.she has run this small animal sanctuary in Whittlebury, Northants.
:02:06. > :02:11.Owen. Calm down. She currently looks after almost 100 animals.
:02:11. > :02:18.can't not do it. I'm utterly committed to saving as many lives
:02:18. > :02:21.as I possibly can. But recently things have been getting much
:02:21. > :02:25.tougher. I never have any money, sort of, behind me. She's been
:02:25. > :02:29.getting more and more animals to look after, but with less and less
:02:29. > :02:31.money. If I'm lucky I have �100- �200 in the banks. It's a huge
:02:31. > :02:34.challenge, especially since, according to the RSPCA there has
:02:34. > :02:44.been a big increase in the number of calls about abandoned animals
:02:44. > :02:54.
:02:54. > :02:59.It's a big day for Owen. Come on, sweetheart. He's getting rehomed
:02:59. > :03:02.today. He was being touted around from the boot of a car tied up with
:03:02. > :03:06.bailing twine and a lovely lady from Silverstone took him and you
:03:06. > :03:11.came to me, didn't you, puppy? But he's quite lively. He needs a lot
:03:11. > :03:18.of attention, don't you? I'm not a dog person. I'm a cat and fox
:03:18. > :03:22.person, primarily. I've learned an awful lot about dogs but I'd like
:03:22. > :03:28.someone else to run the dog section. I also get so upset about the dogs
:03:28. > :03:35.and I worry about them. Cats are better able to look after
:03:35. > :03:40.themselves but dogs are so dependent on humans. But its not
:03:41. > :03:45.just dogs, as more and more people abandon more and more animals. --
:03:45. > :03:50.it is. It places huge pressure on sanctuaries like the Algernon Trust.
:03:50. > :03:56.Jane barely scrapes by. I survive by a series of miracles, I really,
:03:56. > :03:59.really do. Amazing things happen to me when things are really
:03:59. > :04:06.impossible and I think, "How on earth am I going to manage this
:04:06. > :04:16.week?" Something turns up, something always turns up. Either a
:04:16. > :04:17.
:04:17. > :04:21.great load of food or a big donation and I just carry on. I
:04:21. > :04:26.work up to 15 hours a day, seven days a week, 52 weeks a year. I
:04:26. > :04:35.haven't had a holiday of any description for years. 10 or 11
:04:35. > :04:44.years since my last holiday. I get so upset at the little I can do and
:04:44. > :04:48.the amount that needs to be done. I cannot save everything. But it's
:04:48. > :04:55.only people who don't do rescue work like I do who ever say to you,
:04:55. > :04:59."Oh, you can't save them all, Jane." I know I can't save them all,
:04:59. > :05:01.but anyone else who is running a small rescue, they don't say that
:05:02. > :05:07.to you. But sometimes struggling animal sanctuaries simply can't
:05:07. > :05:16.survive as more animals are abandoned in Devon. The owners of
:05:16. > :05:25.this sanctuary ran out of money and The owner simply didn't want to
:05:25. > :05:29.give up her animals. They are my animals! How dare you? I'm going to
:05:29. > :05:37.find out where they are, I'm going to get them back and then I'm going
:05:37. > :05:40.to sue the pants off of you lot. Why are you so incompassionate?
:05:40. > :05:45.I've been going through sheer hell for the past six weeks, not knowing
:05:45. > :05:48.if my animals are dead or alive. Debbie, can you move the car out of
:05:48. > :05:58.the way? We've got the lorries coming up here now. You'd better
:05:58. > :06:03.
:06:03. > :06:10.make sure that not a single hair is But the animals were well looked
:06:10. > :06:12.after and brought to Hillside Animal Sanctuary in Norfolk.
:06:12. > :06:16.animals came from the other sanctuary and they arrived at about
:06:16. > :06:25.1am on a Sunday morning and the staff all came in and we saw them
:06:25. > :06:28.all in safely. They're doing really well and they've all stayed
:06:28. > :06:31.together as their established herd and so we were really pleased we
:06:31. > :06:33.were able to help them, because otherwise who knows where they may
:06:34. > :06:41.have been? Compared to other sanctuaries, Hillside is a big
:06:41. > :06:51.operation. We have probably about 90 staff. 13 of those work in the
:06:51. > :06:51.
:06:51. > :06:55.office and the rest work out on the farms. There you go. Gentle.
:06:55. > :06:58.start with you have to make people believe in what you're doing.
:06:58. > :07:02.There's so many well-meaning people that want to set up a sanctuary
:07:02. > :07:05.because it is really a nice idea to do, but you've got to have that
:07:05. > :07:14.knowledge and the mindset to carry the whole thing through and make it
:07:14. > :07:20.work. But even Hillside needs to constantly fundraise to make ends
:07:20. > :07:25.meet. It's only because we have got the administration to back us up
:07:25. > :07:31.that we've been able to survive, really. I think people, if they
:07:31. > :07:34.know about you, they will help. We do sometimes get large donations
:07:34. > :07:44.which is absolutely brilliant, but most of our funds come in the odd
:07:44. > :07:45.
:07:45. > :07:48.�5 and �10, so that every pound is And every pound certainly counts
:07:48. > :07:55.for Jane, because as the number of abandoned animals goes up, the
:07:55. > :08:00.money goes down. Very quickly. of my pension goes on the animals,
:08:00. > :08:03.not all of it, but most of it does. I mean, my husband has retired now
:08:03. > :08:12.so things have become more difficult because he does, or
:08:12. > :08:18.certainly used to help out with food and the odd vets bill. But,
:08:18. > :08:24.you know, I manage. I manage. why are there so many more
:08:24. > :08:34.abandoned animals? One of the main reasons is people losing their
:08:34. > :08:35.
:08:35. > :08:40.homes, repossessed. And very few landlords allow animals. Owen has
:08:40. > :08:43.just found his voice. We wish he hadn't, but there you go. There has
:08:43. > :08:48.also been an increase in the cost of pet insurance, as vets are
:08:48. > :08:51.giving more complex and more expensive surgery. You get a lot of
:08:51. > :08:57.threats from people saying, "Oh, well, if you won't take her, well,
:08:57. > :09:00.we'll take her to the vet and get her put down." And you think, "Well,
:09:00. > :09:04.you're putting it on me as though it's my responsibility, as though I
:09:04. > :09:10.must take your cat or dog in, otherwise it's going to be put to
:09:10. > :09:15.sleep. Well, that's up to you." But wherever possible, if I get a
:09:15. > :09:21.threat like that I take the animal in. But I get vets ringing me, vets
:09:21. > :09:24.say, "We've had a dog brought in to be put to sleep." One was a 7-8
:09:24. > :09:27.month old puppy, They always say, "Jane I know you're full, but"
:09:27. > :09:37.People use the economic climate as an excuse, and in my opinion it's
:09:37. > :09:44.
:09:44. > :09:47.an excuse, you know? I'd starve before I'd not do what I'm doing.
:09:47. > :09:51.They're smoking, they're drinking, they've got much bigger TVs than
:09:51. > :09:57.I've got. They're obviously not short they've got new clothes and
:09:57. > :10:03.things, but they don't want to put the money with the animals. They've
:10:04. > :10:12.become a disposable item now. I don't think of you as a disposable
:10:12. > :10:16.item, do I? Now, this is the last programme in
:10:17. > :10:19.the series, but we are after your stories for later in the year. So
:10:20. > :10:29.if there's something you think we should be looking into, send an
:10:30. > :10:30.
:10:30. > :10:35.email. Or you can follow me on Later: The Las Vegas legend living
:10:35. > :10:45.in Essex. You know these guys? Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, me and Frank,
:10:45. > :10:48.what was his last name? Oh, Sinatra. We all know the expression, "An
:10:48. > :10:50.Englishman's home is his castle," so, if a neighbour builds something
:10:50. > :10:54.next door without planning permission, most people would want
:10:54. > :10:58.to defend their privacy. But we've discovered that hundreds of people
:10:58. > :11:00.are applying for permission after they've done the work. Richard
:11:00. > :11:09.Daniel has been following an unusual example in the Norfolk
:11:09. > :11:14.This is Carleton Fen in South Norfolk. Bryn Chetwyd bought the
:11:14. > :11:19.land here and set up a fishery. Bryn had always wanted to run his
:11:19. > :11:25.own business, the site seemed perfect. I had a passion for
:11:25. > :11:28.angling. I'd been involved in the sport for 15-20 years and I wanted
:11:28. > :11:32.to use that expertise and experience to pass onto a new
:11:32. > :11:34.generation of anglers. With three lakes and a couple of ponds, Bryn
:11:34. > :11:41.was confident he could provide some challenging fishing and attract
:11:41. > :11:48.plenty of anglers. But his dreams quickly turned into a nightmare.
:11:48. > :11:50.had this sudden loss of water that couldn't be explained. My initial
:11:50. > :11:54.reaction was obviously concern about how far the water levels
:11:54. > :12:00.would drop, would we ever get them back? The falling levels have
:12:00. > :12:08.caused the nitrate build up within the water. The fish environment has
:12:08. > :12:11.deteriorated to such a level that it's resulted in huge fish losses.
:12:11. > :12:19.I personally took out 2,500 pounds of fish, of dead carcases and there
:12:19. > :12:24.were many more within the lake. It's not just Bryn's lakes that
:12:24. > :12:31.have suffered. An area of fenland that he owns nearby has also been
:12:31. > :12:35.affected. So this is the fen? this our section of fen. It's only
:12:35. > :12:39.a small portion of the fen, but you can clearly tell, when you jump and
:12:39. > :12:46.down, how springy it is. You can, you can feel the ground moving
:12:47. > :12:50.under you. Yes, very much so. important, because obviously it's a
:12:50. > :12:57.rare sight, this. It's a very rare sight. It's a county wildlife sight.
:12:57. > :13:00.But the most important thing we are seeing is the fen drying out. Where
:13:00. > :13:04.the water is dropping in the lake is dropping the water table.
:13:04. > :13:06.Normally, you shouldn't be able to come one with shoes and walk out
:13:06. > :13:10.with dry feet. This should be super-saturated, this should be wet.
:13:10. > :13:13.Spongy. Really spongy and wet. the core vegetation is changing?
:13:13. > :13:18.Yes, you can see now, we're getting grass establishing, we're getting
:13:18. > :13:21.thistles rather than the reed and rushes. We've still got areas of
:13:21. > :13:29.sedge, but that is slowly diminishing where they are losing
:13:29. > :13:33.water in the ecology to keep it sustained. So, what's has caused
:13:33. > :13:36.the water levels to fall so dramatically? Well, Bryn blames a
:13:36. > :13:42.neighbour, a couple of hundred yards away, who turned some dykes
:13:42. > :13:51.on his land into fishing lakes. Both sets of lakes are fed by the
:13:51. > :13:55.same underground water source. originally done them for my son and
:13:55. > :13:58.myself to go fishing. We've got carp in here, 23 pounders, we got
:13:58. > :14:08.perch, we got most of the course fish and people liked it and it got
:14:08. > :14:09.
:14:09. > :14:12.very popular so we opened it up and let other people fish it. What has
:14:12. > :14:20.really upset Bryn Chetwyn, though, is that Barry dug out his lakes
:14:20. > :14:30.without first getting planning permission. When you dug out these
:14:30. > :14:30.
:14:30. > :14:33.lakes, why didn't get planning permission in the first place?
:14:33. > :14:36.When we first done them, there was no planning permission about lakes
:14:36. > :14:39.at the time. So you're saying you didn't need planning permission?
:14:39. > :14:46.Didn't need planning permission, as far as I know, so I just The Rivers
:14:46. > :14:50.Authority. How we come about it originally was the Rivers Authority
:14:50. > :14:56.told us to dig all the dykes out. So this is how we went. We dug the
:14:56. > :15:00.dykes out and we finished up like A bit more than a dyke-digging
:15:00. > :15:03.exercise! You ended up with lakes! We did finish up with lakes.
:15:03. > :15:06.wasn't just digging out dykes, was it? No, we cleared everything and
:15:06. > :15:10.what we done is we finished up with the lakes and, at the time, there
:15:10. > :15:13.was no planning permission at all. Well, there WAS planning permission
:15:13. > :15:17.required, because you had to apply for planning permission
:15:17. > :15:20.retrospectively, didn't you? Later on, I did, which our neighbour,
:15:20. > :15:30.which complained, and we got asked if we would apply for planning
:15:30. > :15:35.permission. This is what we done. His retrospective planning
:15:35. > :15:38.application was granted by South Norfolk Council. But his neighbour
:15:38. > :15:43.Bryn Chetwynd was unhappy with the decision and he challenged it all
:15:43. > :15:49.the way to the High Court. He wanted to get his neighbour's lakes
:15:49. > :15:52.declared unlawful. Bryn Chetwynd won the case in March 2010. The
:15:52. > :15:57.High Court judge said that Mr Tunmore, through his agent, had not
:15:57. > :16:00.told the truth about building one of the unauthorised lakes. The
:16:00. > :16:03.agent had claimed that Mr Tunmore had only carried out cleaning and
:16:03. > :16:11.dredging to the lakes and that had been approved by the Environment
:16:11. > :16:14.Agency and Defra. This was judged to be untrue. In conclusion, the
:16:14. > :16:16.judge said that, because there were defects in the way in which the
:16:17. > :16:22.permissions were given, the planning permission for the lakes
:16:22. > :16:30.was not lawfully granted. Richard Buxton is a lawyer from Cambridge
:16:30. > :16:33.who specialises in planning law. you build something without finding
:16:33. > :16:40.out whether you need planning permission or not, and it's found
:16:40. > :16:44.out that you should have done, then you are responsible for it. There
:16:44. > :16:47.is a perfectly good system. You can apply to your local authority to
:16:47. > :16:51.find out if you need planning permission or not for something. So
:16:51. > :16:56.it is no excuse to turn round and say, "Oh, I didn't know and I
:16:56. > :16:59.didn't know I could ask." Enforcement action is rare. Inside
:16:59. > :17:02.Out asked all the councils in our region how many retrospective
:17:02. > :17:07.planning applications were made last year. Some could not tell us,
:17:07. > :17:11.but most did. There were around 1,000 retrospective applications.
:17:11. > :17:17.Of those, just 45 were rejected. Back at Carleton Fen, the situation
:17:17. > :17:22.is getting worse. Anglers are staying away. The water here should
:17:22. > :17:26.be at least waist deep. Well, Bryn, it has been nearly a year since we
:17:26. > :17:29.were last here. What has changed? Well, you can see the water has
:17:29. > :17:34.dropped at least another foot, foot and a half. The anglers are not
:17:34. > :17:37.turning up to fish, and the business is going down. Not good?
:17:37. > :17:43.Not good at all. When Bryn's case went to the High Court, the judge
:17:43. > :17:46.asked for an environmental impact assessment to be carried out. The
:17:46. > :17:50.aim was to find out whether his water has been affected by the
:17:50. > :17:52.building of his neighbour's lakes. The report says that Barry
:17:52. > :17:55.Tunmore's lakes have had a significant impact on Bryn's lakes,
:17:55. > :18:04.but also points out that water levels in the area have fallen
:18:04. > :18:09.generally. South Norfolk Council says it is seeking further advice
:18:09. > :18:13.from an independent hydrological consultant. Meanwhile, Mr Tunmore
:18:13. > :18:15.is continuing to apply for planning permission for his lakes. South
:18:15. > :18:17.Norfolk Council, though, have just revealed they are starting
:18:17. > :18:25.proceedings against him for breaching an enforcement notice
:18:25. > :18:28.relating to his planning permission application. But Barry Tunmore is
:18:28. > :18:34.adamant he has done nothing wrong and says he is happy to pipe water
:18:34. > :18:37.from his own lakes into his neighbour's. Perhaps it would be
:18:37. > :18:42.most straightforward to say to your neighbour, "Look, I'll let water
:18:42. > :18:47.through into your lakes," and there won't be a problem. I have asked
:18:47. > :18:52.him! I have asked him before about this, but the man... I do not know
:18:52. > :18:59.what he wants to do. You would still be willing to do that?
:18:59. > :19:05.would be willing to do it, but I hoped to have a meeting with him.
:19:05. > :19:09.The lake has been damaged so much. My health has been damaged so much.
:19:09. > :19:17.It goes beyond that. The simple restoration is no longer the simple
:19:17. > :19:20.solution it was in 2005 when this dispute first started off. After
:19:20. > :19:30.such a lengthy legal battle, Bryn Chetwynd is hoping the water levels
:19:30. > :19:31.
:19:31. > :19:38.What connects this part of Essex, Westcliff, with Frank Sinatra and
:19:38. > :19:41.Dean Martin? Well, it is a chap called Buddy Greco. He is the last
:19:41. > :19:45.surviving member of the Rat Pack. They were the most glamorous stars
:19:45. > :19:49.of their day. Buddy gave up the bright lights of Vegas to come and
:19:49. > :19:59.live in this country. He still tours, but at smaller venues here
:19:59. > :19:59.
:19:59. > :20:03.in the UK, where Des Coleman hoped Here, in a few moments, I will be
:20:03. > :20:05.sharing the stage with a living legend, a life-long hero of mine.
:20:05. > :20:13.Me, a mere Rat Pack impersonator, singing alongside the sole survivor
:20:13. > :20:16.of the real Rat Pack. Wow! # Won't go to Harlem in ermines and
:20:16. > :20:19.pearls. # At the age of 85, Buddy Greco is
:20:19. > :20:24.still singing and playing just as he did all those years ago
:20:24. > :20:27.alongside Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr.

:20:37. > :20:40.a lot of bad things which I can't talk about. Were there a lot of
:20:40. > :20:43.girls involved? Look at my face. Were there girls involved? Oh, yes.
:20:43. > :20:46.This party animal was born and raised on the mean streets of

:21:05. > :21:09.was into classic soul, R&B, James Brown. Oh, I can't resist it.
:21:09. > :21:12.# I feel good! Ow! But thanks to my mum and dad's
:21:12. > :21:16.record collection, I was exposed to the giants of the swing era, Nat
:21:16. > :21:19.King Cole, Frank, Dean and Sammy. And it never left me. And as a kid,
:21:19. > :21:22.I vividly remember seeing Buddy Greco on programmes like the Lulu
:21:22. > :21:25.Show. To me, he was cool. Then, spin the clock forward 40 years,
:21:25. > :21:28.and I'm making a living impersonating Sammy Davis Jr in a
:21:28. > :21:31.Rat Pack show, never imagining for a moment that I might one day work
:21:31. > :21:35.alongside the great Buddy Greco. But this star of Vegas had to swap
:21:35. > :21:45.the desert sands of Nevada for a seaside resort in Essex. And here's
:21:45. > :22:02.
:22:02. > :22:09.what happened. But this Storrar Vegas had to swap
:22:09. > :22:14.the desert sands for a seaside resort in Essex. Here is what
:22:14. > :22:18.happened. Buddy's luck in the States simply
:22:18. > :22:21.ran out. Bookings dried up and his nightclub in Palm Springs went
:22:21. > :22:24.under. And that is when this man, Dave Alacey, promoter and Frank
:22:24. > :22:34.Sinatra impersonator, stepped in with an offer of work here in the
:22:34. > :22:37.
:22:37. > :22:43.What I hope I have done is bring him to a new audience, a younger
:22:43. > :22:45.audience, and brought into a wider audience, perhaps. For years, when
:22:45. > :22:50.he came over, he wasn't getting any television coverage or anything
:22:50. > :22:53.like that. Now he is on Jools Holland, appealing to a whole new
:22:53. > :23:03.audience. Buddy now lives in Westcliff-on-Sea, a genteel suburb
:23:03. > :23:18.
:23:18. > :23:22.of Southend and a far cry from Las Lezlie! How are you? I'm not too
:23:22. > :23:25.bad. Good to see you. Welcome. You made it all the way to Westcliff.
:23:26. > :23:30.Certainly did. The fifth Mrs Greco - yes, fifth - showed me round
:23:30. > :23:39.their elegant seafront home. Everything in our flat except our
:23:39. > :23:44.beds is charity shop furniture. When it comes to doing the charity
:23:44. > :23:47.shop, does Buddy like you getting things from charity shops? Oh, he
:23:47. > :23:50.likes the fact that he has a wife that shops charity. I think the
:23:50. > :23:53.other Mrs Grecos probably came home from Neiman's. The other Mrs
:23:53. > :24:03.Grecos? Yes, they probably came back and said, look, darling!
:24:03. > :24:08.
:24:08. > :24:17.Buddy still oozes that Vegas You know these guys? Let me see.
:24:17. > :24:20.Wow! Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, me and Frank. What's his last name? Oh,
:24:20. > :24:24.Sinatra. We all did a couple of songs, then Frank would say, "Let's
:24:24. > :24:28.all come out together," not knowing what we were going to do, so we
:24:28. > :24:34.would all walk out. The next thing, somebody would push in a cart full
:24:34. > :24:39.of booze and before we would sing, "Let's have a drink." So all of us
:24:39. > :24:45.were drinking and people were going nuts. It was never done before.
:24:45. > :24:50.living with a legend can be stormy at times. We have had some great
:24:50. > :24:54.cat fights. I have never thrown his clothes off the balcony into the
:24:54. > :25:01.sea front, though. Is it true that you once, whilst on stage, pushed
:25:01. > :25:04.the piano off at a guy he was smoking a cigar? It is true. It was
:25:04. > :25:09.ruining the show for everybody else. So I said, "If you don't stop that,
:25:09. > :25:15.I'm going to roll this baby grand piano right on you." It almost went
:25:15. > :25:18.over. It didn't go over, of course. I did things like that. Buddy is
:25:18. > :25:25.the last living link to that era, one of the last people to see
:25:25. > :25:29.Marilyn Monroe alive. This limousine pulls up, and I see this
:25:30. > :25:33.beautiful thing coming out of a car. She looks up and puts her arms
:25:33. > :25:38.around me and gives me a big kiss, and at that moment, my then manager
:25:38. > :25:41.happened to have a camera and took some pictures. And I'm really proud
:25:41. > :25:51.to say that I have the last six pictures ever taken of Marilyn
:25:51. > :26:00.
:26:00. > :26:07.Since he has been here in the UK, I have been lucky enough to perform a
:26:07. > :26:11.couple of times with Buddy, but for me, tonight is the big night. He is
:26:11. > :26:15.starring in my Rat Pack show at a club called The Spot in Derby. I'm
:26:15. > :26:20.on my way to the gig. I must admit, I'm excited and a little tense.
:26:20. > :26:23.Like all talented people, he can a little bit temperamental. I
:26:23. > :26:25.certainly remember one time on stage, things were not going in the
:26:25. > :26:29.right direction for him. He literally stopped everybody and
:26:29. > :26:37.said, "I'm Buddy Greco. If Jesus Christ comes on the stage, you look
:26:37. > :26:42.at me!" The band's warmed up, tuxedos and bow ties at the ready,
:26:42. > :26:47.and the audience primed. Then, a phone call. He got up this morning
:26:47. > :26:52.and he's not been well. He got up and he has fallen down the stairs
:26:52. > :26:57.at the flat. Buddy has taken a fall and is in hospital. What can we do,
:26:57. > :27:05.then? I'm devastated and concerned for Buddy, but what shall I tell
:27:05. > :27:09.Unfortunately, obviously, Buddy will not be appearing tonight. The
:27:09. > :27:13.Rat Pack show will still go ahead, we will still perform. The band are
:27:14. > :27:16.here and we will be on in about half an hour. Thank you very much
:27:16. > :27:25.indeed. The audience have been really supportive, but it is that
:27:25. > :27:35.old saying in show business, the show must go on.
:27:35. > :27:35.
:27:35. > :27:39.# That's why the lady is a tramp. # Tramp! #
:27:39. > :27:42.Thank you. A few weeks later, Buddy is on the mend, but my dream of a
:27:42. > :27:52.special performance with this Rat Pack legend seems doomed. I will
:27:52. > :27:56.
:27:56. > :28:00.always be able to treasure this, I will always be able to treasure
:28:00. > :28:03.this, just buddy and me side-by- side at his piano at Westcliff-on-
:28:03. > :28:06.Sea. # She gets too hungry for dinner at eight.
:28:06. > :28:12.Don't sing too good, please. Never comes late.
:28:12. > :28:20.# She'll never bother with people she hates.
:28:20. > :28:27.# That's why, that's why the lady is a tramp.
:28:27. > :28:31.And it is great that they got together in the end. All is well
:28:31. > :28:34.that ends well. If you want to see Buddy Greco life, he is performing
:28:34. > :28:40.in Leigh-on-Sea just down the road in a couple of weeks. That is it,
:28:40. > :28:43.the end of the programme and the series. We will be back later in
