0:00:00 > 0:00:08Wendy next half hour: as Darlington Football Club battles for survival
0:00:08 > 0:00:13we have an account of the last 10 a roller-coaster of days.
0:00:13 > 0:00:21These people want their children to be able to follow their team. Last
0:00:21 > 0:00:29week, that possibility was gone. The story of a fascination with a
0:00:29 > 0:00:34sound which took one man to the ends of the planet.
0:00:34 > 0:00:40A beautiful, haunting voice. They live in a world of Sound and
0:00:40 > 0:00:46vibration. And learn how to make campsite
0:00:46 > 0:00:56cooking a gourmet experience. I want people to experience
0:00:56 > 0:01:08
0:01:08 > 0:01:13something a little bit different. It has been an extraordinary 10
0:01:13 > 0:01:21days. Just over one we could call it looks as if Darlington Football
0:01:21 > 0:01:31Club had suffered at fatal blow. -- one a week ago. But the fans have
0:01:31 > 0:01:37
0:01:37 > 0:01:44These are men about to pull Darlington Football Club are back
0:01:44 > 0:01:52from the brink. �50,000 has purchased a short stay of execution
0:01:52 > 0:02:00to prevent oblivion. They carry the hopes of the town, and the future
0:02:00 > 0:02:06of its club. When your community needs you, you
0:02:06 > 0:02:10have an obligation. We will be rallying the town and
0:02:11 > 0:02:16the supporters to get behind the club.
0:02:16 > 0:02:21I am proud that the people have a chance to get the team out on the
0:02:21 > 0:02:26pitch. A retired businessman and local
0:02:26 > 0:02:31shopkeeper are the public face of the Save Darlington rescue team.
0:02:31 > 0:02:37They have less than a fortnight, and three games, to keep the club
0:02:37 > 0:02:42alive. They need money and public support.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46By creating this wonderful moment in history of the club but we have
0:02:46 > 0:02:52captured the hearts and minds of the world of sport. So hopes are
0:02:52 > 0:02:56high. Once you garner a certain amount of
0:02:56 > 0:03:02energy amongst the people, and interested parties, you can appeal
0:03:02 > 0:03:09for their support. That energy is very good at the moment.
0:03:09 > 0:03:14The club nor all about hard times. They languish in the Conference and
0:03:14 > 0:03:20Arc �2 million in the red. Their average crowd is 2000, and a
0:03:20 > 0:03:23stadium built for 20,000. The team were taken off the payroll last
0:03:23 > 0:03:33week and now they are preparing for a game which would never have
0:03:33 > 0:03:39
0:03:39 > 0:03:44happened when it not for an army of volunteers. -- where it not.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48The football club means Lords to the town. It brings in money. At
0:03:48 > 0:03:54town like ours should not be without a football team. I would be
0:03:54 > 0:04:01heartbroken. It is in my blood. I have been
0:04:01 > 0:04:04coming here for 20 years. So I had to come down and help.
0:04:04 > 0:04:10Everything from the ticket office to the kitchen is a run by
0:04:10 > 0:04:19volunteers. Food is provided free by local farms. And there is a
0:04:19 > 0:04:29Dunkirk spirit. As a Winston Churchill said, this
0:04:29 > 0:04:41
0:04:41 > 0:04:46On balance, it is a fantastic result in the circumstances. The
0:04:46 > 0:04:56rescue group a gallop alongside local MP, Jenny Chapman, who had a
0:04:56 > 0:04:58
0:04:58 > 0:05:08buyout plan. But money is tight. The idea was to volunteer for
0:05:08 > 0:05:09
0:05:09 > 0:05:15preparing the pitch. For of them did that work. -- Four. He said to
0:05:15 > 0:05:25me, this is my last pint of the week, and we are saving petrol
0:05:25 > 0:05:25
0:05:25 > 0:05:30money to get together and Tuesday. These people want their children to
0:05:30 > 0:05:35follow the team. Last week, that possibility was gone. They are
0:05:35 > 0:05:43concerned about ancestry and heritage. Being able to continue,
0:05:43 > 0:05:48the family bloodline, supporting Darlington Football Club.
0:05:49 > 0:05:56It could be our last away game but we have until January 31st to keep
0:05:56 > 0:06:01fighting. If we go down, we will go down fighting.
0:06:01 > 0:06:06It would be my life. I would be heartbroken. I wouldn't follow
0:06:06 > 0:06:16football as much. We are showing what the club needs
0:06:16 > 0:06:26to us and hoping to pull through. I am getting on a bit now and would
0:06:26 > 0:06:51
0:06:51 > 0:06:56You can touch it if you like. Now you know he is not a Chelsea fan!
0:06:56 > 0:07:04We have a strong support. Not just in Darlington but also some
0:07:04 > 0:07:14southern fans. Darlington paid my wages before
0:07:14 > 0:07:16
0:07:16 > 0:07:21Fulham picked me up. I cannot thank them enough for that.
0:07:21 > 0:07:31250 support does make the long journey home. Another busy day is
0:07:31 > 0:07:31
0:07:31 > 0:07:41in store. a hotel tomorrow to see how things
0:07:41 > 0:07:42
0:07:42 > 0:07:52are moving forward. We think we have a buyer for the
0:07:52 > 0:07:53
0:07:53 > 0:07:58club. We are about to find out. There may be a marriage!
0:07:58 > 0:08:02The reason I got in contact last week is the fantastic stadium the
0:08:02 > 0:08:11club currently occupy and the prospect of making that stadium
0:08:11 > 0:08:18work as an asset. Paul is a multi- millionaire who
0:08:18 > 0:08:25offers �300,000 to help keep the club afloat.
0:08:25 > 0:08:30making the stadium work as an asset as opposed to a liability as a
0:08:30 > 0:08:38challenge I think I have the tools to do. I also have the passion to
0:08:38 > 0:08:42make it work. The last thing that supporters want
0:08:42 > 0:08:50is to get screwed over. I am not suggesting you would do that, but
0:08:50 > 0:08:53it seems to happen a lot. The community and the supporters
0:08:54 > 0:09:03together will mean that the failings of the past become a thing
0:09:03 > 0:09:13of the past. Everything is confirmed. Let
0:09:13 > 0:09:14
0:09:14 > 0:09:22welcome him aboard. Can I backed this? I need a bit more detail.
0:09:22 > 0:09:32That detail includes asking whether debt can be wiped out also -- and
0:09:32 > 0:09:46
0:09:46 > 0:09:56also details of potential rival You are a star! Thank you!
0:09:56 > 0:10:04
0:10:04 > 0:10:13He should be at Hartlepool, but he Football clubs are for life, not
0:10:13 > 0:10:22just for business. Three days later and the stay of
0:10:22 > 0:10:32execution expires. This could be the club's last game.
0:10:32 > 0:10:33
0:10:33 > 0:10:38We will go out with one last half. Their story is not unique, and
0:10:38 > 0:10:48other clubs face similar challenges. But the club has raised a tens of
0:10:48 > 0:10:51
0:10:51 > 0:10:57thousands of pounds. It has reconnected the club with
0:10:57 > 0:11:02the community. The change has to be permanent.
0:11:02 > 0:11:07They should know by tomorrow if they have pulled off a deal for the
0:11:07 > 0:11:13long-term survival of the club. Regardless of the outcome, they can
0:11:13 > 0:11:23look back and say, we did that. They are the ones keeping this
0:11:23 > 0:11:23
0:11:23 > 0:11:27football club alive. Hour next film as a real treat for
0:11:27 > 0:11:31the years. You might want to switch off everything except the
0:11:31 > 0:11:34television and listen carefully. Who would have thought that a
0:11:34 > 0:11:40youngster playing around with a tape recorder would become one of
0:11:40 > 0:11:45the few people alive to work -- walk on both poles of the planet.
0:11:45 > 0:11:54But Chris Watson from Tyneside has done all that just by being a good
0:11:54 > 0:12:04You've probably never heard of Chris Watson. But there's every
0:12:04 > 0:12:06
0:12:06 > 0:12:13chance you've heard the world through his ears. More animals and
0:12:13 > 0:12:21species inhabit an op treat than any other British treat. It is full
0:12:21 > 0:12:31of life and full of sound. It is amazing what I heard. The insect

0:12:39 > 0:12:48I've been passionate about working West Sound for a long time. There
0:12:48 > 0:12:53are lots of devices like this for getting sound on location but what
0:12:53 > 0:13:03really interests me is getting microphones into places where we
0:13:03 > 0:13:03
0:13:03 > 0:13:13wouldn't normally put our ears. It is just thunderous. Sounds great.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17
0:13:17 > 0:13:23You really get that sense of power from the ocean. A lot of my work on
0:13:23 > 0:13:31Frozen Planet was to investigate the sounds at the North Pole and
0:13:31 > 0:13:38South Pole. The sounds of the seals could be heard over 15 miles away.
0:13:38 > 0:13:43This beautiful haunting voice which really reflected the reality of
0:13:43 > 0:13:49their lives. There is very little visibility below the surface so the
0:13:49 > 0:13:57live in a world of Sound and vibration. Chris has been working
0:13:58 > 0:14:03alongside David Attenborough for 15 years. This is the most southerly
0:14:03 > 0:14:08nesting Penguin of all penguins and like the polar bear up north their
0:14:08 > 0:14:17lives are dependent on the sea ice. On arrival in Antarctica, the
0:14:17 > 0:14:22Frozen Planet crew attracted a welcoming party. About 200 penguins
0:14:22 > 0:14:25came out of the sea and ran across came out of the sea and ran across
0:14:25 > 0:14:35to our helicopter and stood in a group, they set up this little
0:14:35 > 0:14:38
0:14:38 > 0:14:48semi-circle and just stood and It's a career you can trace back to
0:14:48 > 0:14:48
0:14:48 > 0:14:57his childhood. I took my little tape-recorder outside and picked
0:14:57 > 0:15:03the microphone on the bird table. Using this close perspective you
0:15:03 > 0:15:13start to hear the world in a very different way. The best way to do
0:15:13 > 0:15:14
0:15:14 > 0:15:24that is just too close your eyes and listen. And what works in your

0:15:39 > 0:15:49scaled up version of the garden experiment. These are Bulger's

0:15:52 > 0:16:02heady days of the experimental electronic music scene. He was

0:16:12 > 0:16:22worked in the studio creating music and we could and travelled a lot.

0:16:24 > 0:16:27It was just great. -- week tour and travelled. The mix of art and sound
0:16:27 > 0:16:29still appeals. He was commissioned by the National Gallery to create a
0:16:29 > 0:16:38soundtrack to one of its masterpieces to hold visitors
0:16:38 > 0:16:46attention. The average time people spend in front of one of those
0:16:47 > 0:16:56great paintings is four seconds. I chose a Constable and created the
0:16:57 > 0:16:58
0:16:58 > 0:17:03sound of the view that he had created. BIRD SONG. In the middle
0:17:03 > 0:17:10of the 19th century Suffolk was not played by noise pollution as it is
0:17:10 > 0:17:20now. You see this village which must have been full of life and

0:17:26 > 0:17:34see into the distance, he would have heard a sound. I am in
0:17:34 > 0:17:38Antarctica. The actual sound or rather silence here is almost below
0:17:38 > 0:17:43the threshold of this equipment. do not think there is anywhere else
0:17:43 > 0:17:51on Earth as quiet as this and there is certainly no noise pollution
0:17:51 > 0:17:58here. It is interesting to think the sounds that they would have
0:17:58 > 0:18:01heard in Scott's hut 100 years ago would have been the same. The sound
0:18:01 > 0:18:11of silence above ground enables Chris can record the actual noise
0:18:11 > 0:18:16
0:18:16 > 0:18:24of the planet itself. Even the glazier is heaving with life making
0:18:24 > 0:18:27its very slow journey. The sound is actually inaudible to the human ear,
0:18:27 > 0:18:37just as the movement of the glacier is invisible the eye but speed them
0:18:37 > 0:18:44
0:18:44 > 0:18:48both up and they come alive. No one is prepared for what happens next.

0:19:03 > 0:19:08be. Towering above us as they took breath. Then they slid below the
0:19:08 > 0:19:11surface. Incredibly powerful. Such a moving moment. Frozen planet took
0:19:11 > 0:19:19more than two years to film, so the crew inevitably needed lots of
0:19:19 > 0:19:23stories to keep each other entertained. Chris has extra
0:19:23 > 0:19:29ordinarily discriminating ears. He maintains he can tell the
0:19:29 > 0:19:33difference between the sound of waves in the Pacific and waves in
0:19:33 > 0:19:42the Atlantic. The fact is that we do not know whether he is talking
0:19:42 > 0:19:46or not. -- joking. Like David Attenborough, Chris Watson has been
0:19:46 > 0:19:53just about everywhere and is one of the few people ever to have stood
0:19:54 > 0:19:58at both poles. I am very lucky to have travelled the world making
0:19:58 > 0:20:03sound recordings. But it is a great relief to come home and come to
0:20:03 > 0:20:13places like this and just walk and sew up the sounds that are all
0:20:13 > 0:20:18
0:20:18 > 0:20:28around me. -- soak up. And if you want to immerse yourself in more or

0:20:36 > 0:20:39strapped times you might be thinking of ditching the two weeks
0:20:39 > 0:20:42in the sun at a plush hotel for a more frugal camping trip here in
0:20:42 > 0:20:52the UK. But does sleeping under canvas in, say, the Yorkshire Dales
0:20:52 > 0:20:57
0:20:57 > 0:21:00mean you can't still eat as though you're dining at the Ritz? We've
0:21:00 > 0:21:10come to the campsite at Hook House Farm in Robin Hood's Bay, near
0:21:10 > 0:21:15
0:21:15 > 0:21:23Whitby. I do quite a bit of camping, and why not, it's cheap, you're
0:21:23 > 0:21:28closer to nature and it brings you to places like this. But
0:21:28 > 0:21:38traditional camping food has always been bangers and beans from tens. I
0:21:38 > 0:21:44
0:21:45 > 0:21:47have been eating that from years and I am fed up with it. Josh
0:21:47 > 0:21:50spends as many weekends under canvas as possible and believes
0:21:50 > 0:21:53that with just a little planning and organisation, gourmet food is
0:21:53 > 0:22:01within easy reach. Over the next couple of days we're going to put
0:22:01 > 0:22:08that theory to the test. I am trying to encourage people to try
0:22:08 > 0:22:18things a little bit different. Some are simple salads, others more
0:22:18 > 0:22:26
0:22:26 > 0:22:31complicated like a paella. Whitby prawns. What are you having? Simple
0:22:31 > 0:22:41enough for now but tomorrow we will set him a challenge that will test
0:22:41 > 0:22:57
0:22:57 > 0:23:05in to the limit. Camping is now very common but de cuisine has been
0:23:05 > 0:23:09left behind. It is a blustery but bright day at Robin Hood's Bay.
0:23:09 > 0:23:14After a breakfast of scrambled egg and smoked salmon it is time to get
0:23:14 > 0:23:19down to business. Today they will put his theory to the test, we will
0:23:19 > 0:23:24send him out to find some local ingredients and then knock up a
0:23:24 > 0:23:29feast that is fit for a king. We have given him a limited budget and
0:23:29 > 0:23:36stipulated everything must be bought within five miles of the
0:23:36 > 0:23:42campsite. Are you happy with what you're doing? Very much so. Lunch
0:23:42 > 0:23:52at 3 o'clock then? We have got lobster on the menu for tonight. We
0:23:52 > 0:23:57are looking for a chap on the boat with fresh lobster caught overnight.
0:23:57 > 0:24:03Morning, Sir. I am looking for a nice sized lobster being in mind
0:24:03 > 0:24:12the pot I have got. That one is a contender. We have got a couple of
0:24:12 > 0:24:17lobsters. We will pick these up with a little bit of linguini and
0:24:17 > 0:24:25some tomato sauce. We will cover them in a damp cloth to keep them
0:24:25 > 0:24:30comfortable for a couple of hours. We will griddle some can check up
0:24:30 > 0:24:36on a skewer and griddle it over a hot flame for a few minutes. We are
0:24:36 > 0:24:42going to a great little fish shop here. It has got an amazing window
0:24:42 > 0:24:50display. Looked at the size of that, you would not want to get your leg
0:24:50 > 0:24:54stuck India! I will have half-a- dozen scallops please. Meanwhile,
0:24:55 > 0:25:01back at the campsite I am organising a little surprise for
0:25:01 > 0:25:08Josh. I have decided to bring in a judge who is a little bit
0:25:08 > 0:25:12discerning. Hello, I am the National seafood chef of the year.
0:25:12 > 0:25:22I think food should be fresh, locally sourced and not messed
0:25:22 > 0:25:26around with too much. I will be harsh but fair. Back at the
0:25:26 > 0:25:35campsite Josh has started cooking but the weather has taken a turn
0:25:35 > 0:25:42for the worse. It looks like the weather's going to let the heavens
0:25:42 > 0:25:46open on us. These two lobsters, beautiful chaps, are going to feed
0:25:46 > 0:25:51three of us. I would just like to say thanks to the lobsters for
0:25:51 > 0:25:59giving up their lives and now I have to dispatch them. Then the
0:25:59 > 0:26:05weather went from bad to ridiculous. Is that normal? No, that is not
0:26:05 > 0:26:11normal! The wind is knocking the tent absolutely flat. Take a look
0:26:11 > 0:26:16over there. You might be able to see a huge bank of rain. That is
0:26:16 > 0:26:25coming straight for us. Will you be able to carry on cooking? I will
0:26:25 > 0:26:32move inside the tent. That will stop the flames blowing out. Josh
0:26:32 > 0:26:38only has 30 minutes until our judge is due to arrive. It is a case of
0:26:38 > 0:26:46keep calm and carry on. That looks delicious. That is literally just
0:26:47 > 0:26:56onions, garlic and tomatoes. These are just boiled in sea water for 15
0:26:56 > 0:27:04minutes. At the o'clock our guest arrives at the campsite. Despite
0:27:04 > 0:27:10the appalling conditions earlier, Josh is a ready to serve up.
0:27:10 > 0:27:18have a starter of scallops wrapped in an check-up and a little
0:27:18 > 0:27:28linguini, lobster in tomato sauce. I hope you enjoy it. Cooked to
0:27:28 > 0:27:30
0:27:30 > 0:27:34perfection. Lovely. I'll try the lobster. I can still taste the
0:27:35 > 0:27:40lobster it through the sauce. There is some real nice zingy lemon going
0:27:41 > 0:27:45on there as well. A simple dish but absolutely Fabulous. If I was out
0:27:45 > 0:27:55camping and I got serve his I would be over the moon. These are
0:27:55 > 0:27:56
