:01:51. > :01:59.the plane had come down. The only way I could describe it was, 9/11.
:01:59. > :02:05.At 1115, a huge blast killed two- year-old Jamie Heaton on Buckley
:02:05. > :02:09.Street. I rang for emergency services, and I said there had been
:02:09. > :02:18.a gas explosion, with three houses down. Dozens of homes were also
:02:18. > :02:28.heavily damaged, as well as those. This mobile phone footage shows the
:02:28. > :02:32.immediate impact of the blast. Its effects are still being felt. This
:02:32. > :02:36.almost looks like this it of a movie. Yes, this is the devastation
:02:36. > :02:45.caused by the gas explosion. A lot of the house has gone. Nine houses
:02:45. > :02:49.have been demolished. Back in July, I was shown the full extent of the
:02:49. > :02:53.damage by Jackie Hunter, who had just spent her retirement money
:02:53. > :02:56.renovating the house. You cannot call it home any more, because I am
:02:56. > :03:02.not living here, because of the devastation. It is such a mess,
:03:02. > :03:07.with all of the damp and everything. Of the floor does not feel safe.
:03:07. > :03:11.that lifted up like that on the day. I was sat there and it just lifted
:03:11. > :03:17.like that and then went back down again. Because it came through,
:03:17. > :03:23.like that, and then rushed the other way. It pushed the window out

:03:28. > :03:34.out on the day, in the clothes I had on, no code, nothing. And your
:03:35. > :03:39.kitchen, everything is as it was on the day. Exactly as it was. I have
:03:39. > :03:45.still got washing in the washer. I have still got things on here ready
:03:45. > :03:50.to wash. And the smell, because you have not been able to clean it up.
:03:50. > :04:00.No water, so I cannot clean. are you feeling at the moment,
:04:00. > :04:04.
:04:04. > :04:11.aside from not being in your own home? Frightened. Devastated.
:04:11. > :04:18.just want to come home. I dream it. Every night I dream it. You had
:04:18. > :04:24.just done it up as well. Oh, yes, I spent all of the money you had from
:04:24. > :04:29.my retirement. Have you got any idea when you might be able to come
:04:29. > :04:33.back? They said Monks, rather than weeks. I am the optimist, I hope it
:04:33. > :04:37.will be before Christmas. You have all been put into this big
:04:37. > :04:42.situation, where you cannot be at home, and the ones who are, their
:04:42. > :04:47.house is in a mess. What has it done to the community? We are all
:04:48. > :04:53.split all over the place, some people are still living in a hotel.
:04:53. > :04:57.Among those put in a hotel were Janet Ferreira and her disabled
:04:57. > :05:03.mother, Norah. They arrived with just the clothes they were wearing
:05:03. > :05:07.when they were forced to evacuate. The first night in the hotel, I was
:05:07. > :05:10.full of dust and glass from the accident. I jumped in the shower
:05:10. > :05:15.and realised I did not have anything to get changed into. I did
:05:15. > :05:21.not have a brush, hair dryer, anything. Just things that make you
:05:21. > :05:25.feel normal. We had no handbags, shoes, clothes, underwear, nothing.
:05:25. > :05:30.Everything that we own is in the houses. It is difficult. You know
:05:30. > :05:39.it is there that you cannot get it.. How has it been for your living in
:05:39. > :05:43.the hotel, Norah? I hate not going out on my scooter, up to Shaw, and
:05:43. > :05:48.seeing all of my friends. It has been very hard for her. It makes me
:05:48. > :05:55.angry, and I cannot do anything. She is the only one that can do it.
:05:55. > :06:00.When I hear her crying at night, it breaks my heart. It is unbelievable.
:06:00. > :06:04.And the dog is in Bury, with the RSPCA, we have not seen him since
:06:04. > :06:08.it happened. Everything seems to be going wrong. We do not seem to be
:06:08. > :06:15.getting anywhere with anything. the hotel, I can see that you have
:06:15. > :06:18.tried to make it as homely as you can. When I got the keys back, and
:06:18. > :06:22.went to get my dad's picture for my mother, because she always has that
:06:22. > :06:30.on the side. They were never separated all of their married life.
:06:30. > :06:36.I got that for my mum, to make her feel more at home. Four months on,
:06:36. > :06:46.and they have taken down some of the boarding, but as you can see,
:06:46. > :06:47.
:06:47. > :06:50.the devastation remains. In October, I go and see Jackie Hunter in her
:06:50. > :06:59.rented house, and it is evident that she is still really struggling
:06:59. > :07:03.to come to terms with what has happened. This is where I am
:07:03. > :07:07.sleeping. How come you're sleeping downstairs? I am too frightened to
:07:07. > :07:12.go upstairs on my own at the moment. Perhaps when I get back to my own
:07:12. > :07:19.house, I will feel better. But here, I feel as though I need the escape
:07:19. > :07:25.of the front door, and a patio door, so I can get out quick.. Howl on
:07:25. > :07:30.your nerves? Just about, at the moment. IMC in somebody from victim
:07:30. > :07:35.support, who has been helping us. - - I am seeing somebody. He did a
:07:35. > :07:41.test, and he feels that I am suffering from post-traumatic
:07:41. > :07:46.stress, which I did not think would be the case. I thought it was just
:07:46. > :07:49.the Army, being at war, I did not realise that I would be involved in
:07:49. > :07:56.anything like that. But I am having dreadful nightmares, absolutely
:07:56. > :08:00.awful, like my leg has been blown off. And it does not look like
:08:00. > :08:05.Janet and Norah will be home any time soon. But at least they are
:08:05. > :08:12.out of the hotel and in a rented house. The houses are OK, it does
:08:12. > :08:17.not feel like home. So, we cannot actually do anything to it. We just
:08:17. > :08:21.have to stay in it the way it he's. Do you know how long it will be
:08:21. > :08:25.before you are back home? It will be after Christmas, definitely,
:08:25. > :08:31.because they have not started yet. Apparently when you have an
:08:31. > :08:35.earthquake, or the ground moves, then the Willington and the bugs
:08:35. > :08:41.come alive. So all the houses which were in the explosion are being
:08:41. > :08:49.fumigated, one by one. -- then the fleas. It is incredible when you
:08:49. > :08:56.look around. Yes, it is really bad, and it is dangerous. A few days ago,
:08:56. > :09:00.we were given exclusive access to Buckley Street. We took Jackie
:09:00. > :09:05.Hunter back to the site of the explosion in it you can see the
:09:05. > :09:15.devastation. I had lived here since 1989. It is just like a bomb site.
:09:15. > :09:17.
:09:18. > :09:21.It is awful. You had hoped to be back by Christmas. Yes, but it is
:09:21. > :09:26.going to be January. But that is what I am going to be leaving
:09:26. > :09:35.behind. So even when you are back, you will be behind those fences,
:09:35. > :09:38.how did this field? Awful. -- how does that feel?. It has been
:09:38. > :09:44.incredible coming down here, it shows how your life can change
:09:44. > :09:48.every night. Yes, and I have felt that every day. I knew when I came
:09:48. > :09:53.running out of my house, I knew the devastation that had taken place. I
:09:53. > :10:03.knew that my life would never get back to normal. I am still having
:10:03. > :10:04.
:10:04. > :10:14.nightmares. But ask me if I would still live in Shaw, I chose Shaw. I
:10:14. > :10:16.
:10:17. > :10:25.could have lived anywhere in the world, and I am still proud of Shaw.
:10:25. > :10:29.And I am proud of the people that have come through one of this. --
:10:29. > :10:39.through all of this. Coming up, the actor more famous in India than in

:10:41. > :10:45.her home city of Liverpool. He claims to have a phone link to the
:10:45. > :10:49.spirits of people who have moved on. He says he has proved that we do
:10:49. > :10:53.not die. His name is Stephen Holbrook, and thousands of people
:10:53. > :10:57.across the North believe in him, but he's here genuine medium, who
:10:57. > :11:03.hears voices, or is he using traditional entertainer's
:11:03. > :11:08.techniques? Chris Jackson has been putting his techniques to the test.
:11:08. > :11:18.Central Leeds, a member of our team, wearing a secret camera, is on the
:11:18. > :11:19.
:11:19. > :11:24.way to film a man who says he has a phone link to the dead. This is
:11:24. > :11:32.Stephen Holbrook, and that is his stiff left hand. It is like wood.
:11:32. > :11:36.Sometimes it turns blue. It is a sign that Archie, Stephen's day
:11:36. > :11:40.spirit guide, is on the phone. He says he channels messages, just
:11:40. > :11:50.like a telephone. He reverses the charges, and his audience pays
:11:50. > :11:50.
:11:50. > :11:55.premium rates. Activists from the Newcastle and Mersey side Skeptics
:11:55. > :12:03.Societies, fresh from checking out Stephen's performance, are not
:12:03. > :12:10.impressed. He is about as clairvoyant as a teapot. He is not
:12:10. > :12:14.psychic. So, who is right? Stephen Holbrook says he can genuinely hear
:12:14. > :12:20.the spirits, and he claims that his powers prove there is life after
:12:20. > :12:25.death. Or the sceptics, who say he is an entertainment performer,
:12:25. > :12:29.using magician's tricks? It is important, because if Stephen's
:12:29. > :12:33.telephone carries nuisance calls, and Archie and the spirits are not
:12:34. > :12:36.real, there is a problem with the law. If it is misleading
:12:36. > :12:39.information to consumers, causing people to do something that would
:12:39. > :12:45.not otherwise have done, such as buying a ticket or travelling to an
:12:45. > :12:48.event, then there could potentially be a criminal offence. Some mediums
:12:48. > :12:52.say the performance is for entertainment purposes only. Is
:12:53. > :12:57.that sufficient? If he is actually saying, I am an entertainer, a
:12:57. > :13:03.magician, using cold reading techniques, and I cannot actually
:13:03. > :13:07.communicate with the spirit world, and that is what he needs to say.
:13:07. > :13:17.But Stephen never says it is just for entertainment. He repeated the
:13:17. > :13:24.
:13:24. > :13:34.Soon, audience members are in tears, as he relays messages from the
:13:34. > :13:39.
:13:39. > :13:49.spirits of dead babies, mums and It's one thing if they are
:13:49. > :13:55.
:13:55. > :13:59.receiving real messages from the This is exploitation of the worst
:13:59. > :14:02.sort. It really is manipulating people at a terrible time of their
:14:02. > :14:05.lives. One of the worst consequences for people who are
:14:05. > :14:11.very vulnerable is they can end up stuck in that early stage of
:14:11. > :14:17.grieving and will never be able to relinquish it or move on from it.
:14:17. > :14:27.Back in Leeds, a large part of the performance consists of him asking
:14:27. > :14:52.
:14:52. > :14:59.questions. Sometimes, he appears to Stephen performs all over the north,
:14:59. > :15:09.doing more than 20 shows a month, nine months a year. His website is
:15:09. > :15:10.
:15:10. > :15:20.full of tes moanals from satisfied -- testimonials from satisfied
:15:20. > :15:23.
:15:23. > :15:27.He also has his critics. Ellis told Stephen about a dead
:15:27. > :15:32.boyfriend. Stephen told Ellis what he was saying. He spoke about the
:15:32. > :15:39.funeral. Thank you for the funerals I had sent. He also spoke about,
:15:39. > :15:44.that my boyfriend loved me and he cared for me. But Ellis's dead
:15:44. > :15:49.boyfriend never existed. boyfriend is not dead. None of my
:15:49. > :15:55.boy friends of the past have died. Now we get three experts to analyse
:15:56. > :16:04.Stephen's performance. They all say he's using traditional
:16:04. > :16:14.magician's techniques. By throwing out a random date he'll
:16:14. > :16:19.
:16:19. > :16:29.get a strong chance of a hit with Random pieces of information that
:16:29. > :16:30.
:16:30. > :16:35.people are going to launch on to. It's taken a little bit of
:16:35. > :16:40.information, scattering it around to a big audience, to a big grup of
:16:40. > :16:50.people, and finding that one person -- group of people and finding that
:16:50. > :16:50.
:16:50. > :16:54.one person. You look at someone and you read
:16:54. > :17:00.their expressions. You think what is statistically likely to happen
:17:00. > :17:04.with that people. At the end, the audience will believe he asked no
:17:04. > :17:08.other questions and people answer only yes or no. Now Kennedy shows
:17:08. > :17:18.how easily it is done. He asked people to write down the name of
:17:18. > :17:20.
:17:20. > :17:25.somebody they haven't seen for a Kennedy will tell them the name
:17:25. > :17:31.using classic magician's tricks. He guesses their personal details
:17:31. > :17:37.using a cold reading. This is the person with the dark hair, yes?
:17:37. > :17:43.This sort of length? Yes. Why is she saying about the dogs? It makes
:17:43. > :17:51.more sense to you than me. Something to do with the dogs?
:17:51. > :18:01.That's creepy. What happened? I used to work, sometimes we use to
:18:01. > :18:04.
:18:04. > :18:12.get puppies in who were training. It's Doreen or Doriane.
:18:12. > :18:15.My ex-boss. She died about four years ago. I'm not psychic, but I
:18:15. > :18:19.am able to work out things about people by your reaction. So they
:18:19. > :18:25.all think Stephen is putting on an act. Stephen - for such a good
:18:25. > :18:29.talker, he turned remarkably quiet. He gave us a statement which said,
:18:29. > :18:34.he will never succumb to cold reading. His questions are for
:18:34. > :18:39.clarification of the facts and our experts are not in the least bit
:18:40. > :18:44.qualified to judge his work. It said Stephen did not advertise them
:18:44. > :18:49.as entertainment shows because they were genuine. While he told us that
:18:49. > :18:54.he changed his website to say they were for entertainment only. He
:18:54. > :18:58.would not explain that contradiction. Stranger still, the
:18:58. > :19:03.messages he received on the psychic phone from Ellis's fictional dead
:19:03. > :19:06.boyfriend. Remember - the one she made up. His statement said, that
:19:06. > :19:12.was an appalling example of theft because the spirit's message was
:19:12. > :19:17.real and meant for another person. Ellis had stolen it. He would not
:19:18. > :19:22.exwhy the spirit didn't just say, no, that's not my ex-girlfriend. We
:19:22. > :19:29.have presented evidence suggesting he east not the real thing. He uses
:19:29. > :19:34.techniques employed by entertainers. He now admits on his website he is
:19:34. > :19:37.an entertainer. For years, Stephen Holbrook made a lot of money
:19:37. > :19:47.exploiting people's grief. Some may get comfort from what he does. They
:19:47. > :19:48.
:19:48. > :19:54.need to consider the tricks of the Now the glamour of Bollywood seems
:19:54. > :19:59.a million miles away to us here in the Northwest. One actress from
:19:59. > :20:05.here in Liverpool is on the front cover of glossy magazines in India
:20:05. > :20:11.and is forging a career in the multi-million dollar movie industry.
:20:11. > :20:15.Nazia Mogra has been on set with the girl from Woolton, who is set
:20:15. > :20:20.to take Bollywood by storm. Amy Jackson may not be a household
:20:20. > :20:30.name in the UK, but in India, her films have been seen by millions of
:20:30. > :20:37.
:20:37. > :20:42.Stop the car! She's already conquered Kollywood,
:20:42. > :20:51.the Tamil-speaking film industry in the south of India. If Amy crooks
:20:51. > :20:58.Bollywood, in Mumbai, she could become an international film star.
:20:58. > :21:03.If she made it into Bollywood, we are talking big time. It is shown
:21:03. > :21:08.around the world. It doesn't feel real. I can't actually believe I'm
:21:08. > :21:13.doing these things. I thought I'd never, ever end up on the cover of
:21:13. > :21:18.Vogue. That's every girl's dream. And what makes Amy Jackson's rise
:21:18. > :21:25.to fame in India more surprising is she is not Asian. She was in fact
:21:25. > :21:31.born in the Isle of Man and grew up in Liverpool.
:21:31. > :21:34.Girls this age would fly the nest and fly to university, but Amy has
:21:34. > :21:38.flown to India. On the other side of the world to. Be honest, at
:21:38. > :21:45.first, I was heart broken. Inside, I never let mer know that, now I
:21:45. > :21:49.can. Because I have got over that rench of her going. What is it like
:21:49. > :21:58.having a daughter so famous in India? Bad. Inside, I am so proud
:21:58. > :22:02.of her. And tonight, Inside Out is going
:22:02. > :22:07.exclusively behind the scenes on the set of her latest film. The
:22:07. > :22:11.movie is set in London and filming has been taking place at some of
:22:11. > :22:16.the capital's famous landmarks. is fabulous. This is the first time
:22:16. > :22:19.I have shot here. What is amazing is yesterday we shot in Trafalgar
:22:19. > :22:25.Square, which is ten times as busy as this. We had hundreds of crowds
:22:25. > :22:30.gathering, watching. I am not the most confident dancer. It is all
:22:30. > :22:34.about the moves. So that put the nerves on a bit. Today, we have a
:22:35. > :22:39.slightly more relaxed atmosphere here on the bridge. You get stopped
:22:39. > :22:43.while you are walking and try to do a dance scene. Lots of people are
:22:43. > :22:48.curious. There are lots of Asians on holiday and also living here who
:22:48. > :22:56.have seen a couple of my movies. I was shocked because I didn't
:22:56. > :23:02.realise how big it was back in the UK and worldwide.
:23:02. > :23:08.It's been a massive rise to fame. She was spotted by an Indian film
:23:08. > :23:16.director on the internet after winning the Miss Teen World
:23:16. > :23:21.competition. The director saw me on the Miss Teen World website. That
:23:21. > :23:28.was it. He flew to England. He said I had the ideal look for his movie.
:23:28. > :23:33.A week later I was shooting for my first South Indian movie.
:23:33. > :23:43.Behind me, Amy is getting ready for her next scene on this city's
:23:43. > :23:49.
:23:49. > :23:56.biggest landmark - the London Eye. The film is a thriller about a
:23:56. > :24:02.British-born Indian girl, who wins Miss London and gets drawn into a
:24:02. > :24:09.spying conspiracy. It is made for the Tamil equivalent of Bollywood.
:24:09. > :24:17.She has had to learn to speak Hindu and India. It is a Tamil movie. It
:24:17. > :24:22.is difficult. It is a bit like abrupt. It is taking time for me to
:24:22. > :24:26.get used to it. How long do you have to learn those
:24:26. > :24:31.all-important lines then? Tamil? How long do I get? They usually
:24:31. > :24:35.give them to me on the spot. If I am lucky I'll get a couple of hours
:24:35. > :24:40.beforehand. It is a big challenge for a white English actress to play
:24:41. > :24:46.a lead role in an Indian film. Not everyone approves. She's entering a
:24:46. > :24:50.global film market. It is a global film market, just like Bollywood.
:24:50. > :24:57.It shouldn't matter what background the actor or actress is, so long as
:24:57. > :25:02.he or she looks the part. These cinema-goers at the Trafford Centre
:25:02. > :25:06.know who Amy Jackson is. How do they feel about a western actress
:25:06. > :25:13.staring in the Indian films? It is a mixed society now. It is great to
:25:13. > :25:19.see it in Bollywood films. It is not just about Indian people.
:25:19. > :25:24.Do you think Amy will be a huge success? She should be. She's
:25:24. > :25:31.really pretty. You are obviously a British girl with pale skin, do
:25:31. > :25:36.they have to make you up, make you tanned? In my last movie they
:25:36. > :25:41.bronzed me slightly. But you know, the majority of the actresses, they
:25:41. > :25:46.completely stay out of the sun and they are not tanned whatsoever.
:25:46. > :25:53.Where over here, everybody likes to be tanned and bronzed, back in
:25:53. > :25:57.India, it is the complete opposite. Isn't it beautiful, Liverpool?
:25:57. > :26:02.is. It has some gorgeous architecture. Amy is currently
:26:02. > :26:05.living in Mumbai, but filming in the UK has meant she's been able to
:26:05. > :26:11.spend time seeing family and friends back home in Liverpool.
:26:11. > :26:17.Every time I come back and I feel very nostalgic I think of home,
:26:17. > :26:20.it's always on my mind. It's great to be back seeing family and
:26:20. > :26:24.friends. She especially missed her parents
:26:24. > :26:28.and sister while living in India. have a great mum. She came over and
:26:29. > :26:34.she spent the first three months with me in Mumbai.
:26:34. > :26:39.Amy's mum has been by her side during long filming days in the UK.
:26:39. > :26:45.I'm there for her when ever she needs me. It's OK. It works out OK,
:26:46. > :26:52.doesn't it? She puts up with my mood swings and things. She takes
:26:52. > :26:57.it. If she gets bad tempered she takes it out on me. But I don't
:26:57. > :27:02.mean it! Is it is like for you being on a film set of a Kollywood
:27:02. > :27:05.movie? Is it a bit surreal? To be honest, I never thought in my
:27:05. > :27:10.wildest dreams I would be here today and I never thought I would
:27:10. > :27:13.have a famous daughter, but I have. Being her mum, I think she's really
:27:13. > :27:20.beautiful. I really do. You're going to be on camera now.
:27:20. > :27:24.Nice to meet you. So nice to meet you. In Liverpool Amy can walk
:27:24. > :27:29.around virtually unnoticed apart from Indian tourists who are
:27:29. > :27:36.surprised to come across a star on the dock. This would be impossible
:27:36. > :27:41.for Amy to do in Mumbai. I can go out with my hair in a bun and sweat
:27:41. > :27:44.pants, but in India I would be traumatised if I got caught looking
:27:44. > :27:54.like that. It is nice to actually be able to come home and relax and
:27:54. > :27:55.
:27:55. > :28:03.just be me. So what is next for Amy Jackson? If
:28:03. > :28:13.she can conquer this, the sky's the limit. It is something I could not
:28:13. > :28:19.
:28:19. > :28:22.turn down. It was huge. So far it's Do you know what, if she leads a
:28:22. > :28:28.leading man, I have been working on my moves!
:28:28. > :28:32.Maybe not! Listen, that's all from inside Out North West. If you have
:28:32. > :28:40.missed the programme you can catch it on the iPlayer. I am back next
:28:40. > :28:43.Monday night, 7.30pm, BBC One. Until then, have a good week.
