:00:07. > :00:13.We discover Kent's most extraordinary island. It is a great

:00:14. > :00:16.world. It is full of bones. Whaler, there will be the bones of people.

:00:17. > :00:20.You must make sure that you feel that you can take that. OK, thank

:00:21. > :00:30.you for the warning! The problems on Southern rail caused

:00:31. > :00:35.by the strikes or the franchise? There aren't actually any strikes

:00:36. > :00:42.planned for today at all, so this is, you know, a good day.

:00:43. > :00:46.And football for females over 50. Most of all, I would say, it is

:00:47. > :00:52.going to be exciting and thrilling to walk out onto the pitch and play.

:00:53. > :01:02.I'm Natalie Graham McDowell installed Tories I'm Natalie Graham,

:01:03. > :01:15.with untold stories closer to home. This is all inside out.

:01:16. > :01:21.Hello and welcome to the programme, which this week comes to you from

:01:22. > :01:24.the Isle of Sheppey. We start tonight with an extraordinary story,

:01:25. > :01:30.one which could come from the pages of a Gothic horror novel. In this

:01:31. > :01:35.part of Kent, if you speak to certain people, you will hear tales

:01:36. > :01:40.of a mysterious island nearby. Stories which will send a shiver

:01:41. > :01:44.down your spine. But could those stories possibly be true? Some

:01:45. > :01:54.people may find parts of this film disturbing.

:01:55. > :01:57.I've heard stories about this eerie island off the coast of Sheppey.

:01:58. > :02:00.So I've had to come here for myself to find out whether the truth

:02:01. > :02:07.I'm going to the small harbour town of Queenborough,

:02:08. > :02:14.which sits just across the water from this mysterious island.

:02:15. > :02:17.When I stopped at the hostelry for the night, I was told that

:02:18. > :02:29.Others who were curious about the strange tales from the island.

:02:30. > :02:31.They'd heard the story about the hound.

:02:32. > :02:35.Yes, the hound with the red death staring eyes.

:02:36. > :02:41.They had heard this story that there were bodies

:02:42. > :02:49.And people said that the hound had eaten the skulls, you see.

:02:50. > :02:55.And they were rowing away into the darkness and the fog.

:02:56. > :02:58.And they suddenly hear the sound and they look,

:02:59. > :03:08.Scarpered? Scarpered!

:03:09. > :03:11.This talk of supernatural devil dogs is obviously just myth.

:03:12. > :03:18.But at the end of the day, can you disprove it?

:03:19. > :03:24.But there is a more serious claim about the island.

:03:25. > :03:27.That it is littered with human remains.

:03:28. > :03:33.You want to make sure you are up to it.

:03:34. > :03:37.It is a graveyard, it is full of bones.

:03:38. > :03:41.Where you look will be bones of people who actually lived.

:03:42. > :03:44.And because it's a bone yard, it will have an atmosphere.

:03:45. > :03:52.You must make sure that you feel that you can take that.

:03:53. > :04:04.An island solely populated by the dead.

:04:05. > :04:10.Its story seems to have been handed down from generation to generation.

:04:11. > :04:16.And the name of this macabre place is Deadman's Island.

:04:17. > :04:19.The locals were keen to prove there was more

:04:20. > :04:25.So keen that the very next morning, the Queenborough rowing

:04:26. > :04:30.club agreed to take me to Deadman's Island themselves.

:04:31. > :04:41.The island is a Site of Special Scientific Interest,

:04:42. > :04:46.It's out of bounds for visitors due to the birds that make

:04:47. > :04:48.it their home at certain times of the year.

:04:49. > :05:15.But we've received permission for a special visit.

:05:16. > :05:17.I've arrived at Deadman's Island at what's known

:05:18. > :05:24.What I saw will stay with me forever.

:05:25. > :05:35.This island was covered with human remains.

:05:36. > :05:38.That's definitely a piece of a coffin.

:05:39. > :05:40.And that...there are two bones there.

:05:41. > :05:50.There's the coffin, Natalie, that's just broken away.

:05:51. > :05:58.So you think this has all come from a recent...

:05:59. > :06:01.There's rather a large ? it looks like it could be

:06:02. > :06:05.A thigh bone and are they some ribs there?

:06:06. > :06:11.I hadn't seen everything this island had to offer just yet.

:06:12. > :06:15.So here we have, clearly, two pairs of human legs in a wooden box,

:06:16. > :06:26.and the rest of the bodies could be under this mud.

:06:27. > :06:32.It's exactly what they said we'd find,

:06:33. > :06:44.human remains buried 200 years ago now being exposed to the elements

:06:45. > :06:51.as nature takes its course over the mud, and this

:06:52. > :06:56.is a really strange sight, there can't be anywhere, I'd

:06:57. > :07:02.Well, over two centuries ago, the waters around here were a very

:07:03. > :07:08.They were home to floating prisons, known as the Prison Hulks.

:07:09. > :07:12.They were dark, they looked pretty forbidding, they were meant to.

:07:13. > :07:18.The Prison Hulks were former warships stripped of their masts,

:07:19. > :07:24.Their gun ports were covered with bars and they were given

:07:25. > :07:26.fitting names, like Justitia, Retribution and Captivity.

:07:27. > :07:29.A lot of crimes carried the death penalty, but as a way

:07:30. > :07:36.of being humane and also to inhabit the colonies, it was decided it

:07:37. > :07:37.would be a good idea to transport convicts.

:07:38. > :07:40.Also, there wasn't much space in prisons, but -

:07:41. > :07:42.and this I think has some effect on the inhabitants

:07:43. > :07:45.of Deadman's Island - you tended to find that if people

:07:46. > :07:47.were not considered healthy enough to take the voyage to Australia,

:07:48. > :07:51.I was going to ask about the kind of crimes

:07:52. > :07:59.There were people who picked pockets, including 10-year-olds,

:08:00. > :08:01.who'd been sentenced to 15 years' transportation for picking

:08:02. > :08:05.So we weren't talking about mass murderers off the cost of Sheppey?

:08:06. > :08:08.These were the people who were suffering from the draconian

:08:09. > :08:14.And when those prisoners died, they were buried in unmarked graves

:08:15. > :08:20.An island which is slowly eroding away.

:08:21. > :08:25.Once you start looking, you start to see what might

:08:26. > :08:32.This bit of mud, for example, is it me or does that

:08:33. > :08:41.I would say that that's a coffin and another next to it that

:08:42. > :08:47.This is where you can see the depth of where they were buried.

:08:48. > :08:49.Yeah, six feet, pretty much, isn't it?

:08:50. > :08:53.They were buried properly and deeply.

:08:54. > :08:57.The major problem really was you had a lot of men together or a lot

:08:58. > :08:59.of boys together and therefore if an epidemic began to occur then

:09:00. > :09:01.it would spread and this was particularly important

:09:02. > :09:04.in the early 1830s when Retribution was here, because there

:09:05. > :09:07.was the cholera epidemic, and I suspect a lot of the people

:09:08. > :09:15.I was joined on my trip by archaeologist Dr Paul Wilkinson,

:09:16. > :09:20.who could help me find out more about these remains.

:09:21. > :09:23.It's a human pelvic bone of a young male and obviously died from some

:09:24. > :09:28.disease ? that's why he's buried here.

:09:29. > :09:32.Can you tell that ? we're surmising because of the circumstances?

:09:33. > :09:34.Yeah, and I can tell by the bone itself.

:09:35. > :09:38.What makes you think that's diseased, the holes in it?

:09:39. > :09:40.Probably the holes in it, but also, this particular island was retained

:09:41. > :09:45.for the people that died of contagious diseases

:09:46. > :09:50.and so the policy was to actually bury them all here so that disease

:09:51. > :09:54.couldn't then erupt through the prison ships

:09:55. > :10:02.Isn't it extraordinary to think that 200 years ago,

:10:03. > :10:06.they were six feet under and now these poor souls are about to be

:10:07. > :10:14.They're about to be exposed to the open air, they're

:10:15. > :10:16.about to have their bones and their skulls washed

:10:17. > :10:22.If there were any skulls, there have been skulls,

:10:23. > :10:28.they will go last and they will roll into the water like footballs.

:10:29. > :10:35.We've certainly seen some of Deadman's Island's secrets,

:10:36. > :10:38.but the longer you spend here looking out across the mud,

:10:39. > :10:40.the more you start thinking about the hundreds of other people

:10:41. > :10:43.lying beneath the surface who will no doubt be exposed

:10:44. > :10:47.over the years to come, and you start wondering as well,

:10:48. > :10:51.what kind of society dumped them all here with no name,

:10:52. > :11:04.It would be more right if there was a proper memorial to these poor

:11:05. > :11:13.souls. These have nothing. They just have an island named

:11:14. > :11:16.after them, Deadman's Island. The tide began to rise faster

:11:17. > :11:19.than expected, so we had to leave. It seemed as if the island

:11:20. > :11:22.didn't want to give up too Well, that was an extraordinary

:11:23. > :11:30.place we visited today. It wasn't quite the way some people

:11:31. > :11:34.described it for me - it wasn't particularly frightening,

:11:35. > :11:39.or didn't seem to be a place For me, it was incredibly

:11:40. > :11:49.still and actually quite magical. And I wonder if those myths

:11:50. > :11:52.and legends that have grown up over the years have done the inhabitants

:11:53. > :11:56.of Deadman's Island a favour, by warning the rest of us away

:11:57. > :12:20.and allowing them to rest in peace. And that is certainly a journey I'll

:12:21. > :12:24.Out... It's in the back of the net Out... It's in the back of the net

:12:25. > :12:28.for the older ladies of Crawley Town.

:12:29. > :12:32.Never thought it was going to be me. Very emotional. A few tears. Never

:12:33. > :12:41.done anything like lead a football team ever. Feeling very, very proud.

:12:42. > :12:46.Now, the strikes as Southern rail have caused passengers nearly a year

:12:47. > :12:49.of misery. So why have they gone on so long? Could it all to one days of

:12:50. > :12:53.paperRachel Royce reports. It's 8am and rush hour in this

:12:54. > :12:59.west Sussex village. Over 750 pupils at St Philip Howard

:13:00. > :13:01.catholic school arrive by train. Over 750 pupils at St Philip Howard

:13:02. > :13:04.Catholic school arrive by train. The school's site was especially

:13:05. > :13:07.chosen because it's close Latecomers can expect a ticking off,

:13:08. > :13:10.but for many pupils, being late is becoming

:13:11. > :13:12.a regular event. OK, make sure tomorrow

:13:13. > :13:14.you're on time. I joined a class of year elevens

:13:15. > :13:18.studying for their GCSES. So, first question is, how

:13:19. > :13:23.many of you get the train to school? How many of you had problems

:13:24. > :13:29.on strike days getting to school? And how many of you have

:13:30. > :13:33.problems getting to school I'm showing a reduction

:13:34. > :13:42.in the quality of my school work, because not only do I arrive

:13:43. > :13:44.five minutes late and have missed some of the lesson,

:13:45. > :13:47.but I might get home, it's been an hour and half,

:13:48. > :14:02.I'm freezing and I'm just not Obviously, people have been focusing

:14:03. > :14:07.on the strikes, and they have caused chaos, but there are -- is there

:14:08. > :14:12.more to the problems at Southern? We're going to be looking

:14:13. > :14:14.at the franchise. Well, I'm glad you asked that,

:14:15. > :14:18.because it's a bit complicated. It used to be that the government

:14:19. > :14:20.owned the railway, They thought that could make it more

:14:21. > :14:23.competitive and cheaper. Different train operating companies

:14:24. > :14:25.competed by a bidding process for the right to operate the trains

:14:26. > :14:28.in different areas. It is sealed by a contract on these

:14:29. > :14:31.of paper. Usually they make their profit by

:14:32. > :14:34.collecting fares from passsengers. If they sell more tickets

:14:35. > :14:36.than expected, then If it sells less tickets,

:14:37. > :14:40.then it makes less they take a risk. When the government decided

:14:41. > :14:45.to offer up the franchise When the government decided

:14:46. > :14:50.to offer up the franchise that included Southern,

:14:51. > :14:52.they knew it would be Thee were problems of congestion

:14:53. > :14:56.in the south est and on top of that, Thee were problems of congestion in

:14:57. > :14:59.the south east and on top of that, there was an upcoming ?6.5 billion

:15:00. > :15:02.upgrade of London Bridge. Imagine you're living in your house

:15:03. > :15:05.and you have it reroofed, new electrics, new plumbing

:15:06. > :15:09.new carpets and have the whole place redecorated while you still live

:15:10. > :15:12.in it and you get a sense of what the railway had

:15:13. > :15:14.to do in London Bridge. While all this was going on,

:15:15. > :15:17.it would make it very difficult to attract a railway operator

:15:18. > :15:20.who was looking for a profit. So the government decided not

:15:21. > :15:24.to offer a normal franchise. Instead, they offered

:15:25. > :15:27.a different deal, and it went to Govia ThamesLink railway,

:15:28. > :15:32.the parent company of Southern. Instead of Govia getting the fares

:15:33. > :15:35.from the passengers, the government gets the fares

:15:36. > :15:37.from the pasengers and the government pays

:15:38. > :15:43.Govia to run the service, so the difference this makes is,

:15:44. > :15:45.unlike normal franchises, Govia isn't taking the risk of not

:15:46. > :16:01.selling enough tickets. Regardless of how much money comes

:16:02. > :16:05.in, Southern would be paid the same 3% margin, or somewhere around

:16:06. > :16:08.there, regardless. So all Southern had to do with it

:16:09. > :16:11.their defined targets, and they would get their money. But their

:16:12. > :16:12.train service became the worst performing in the country, and that

:16:13. > :16:17.was before the strikes even started. It's been a nightmare year

:16:18. > :16:20.for commuters, and there have been calls for Govia to be stripped

:16:21. > :16:22.of its franchise. David Boyle is a journalist

:16:23. > :16:32.and blogger who ha a written a book They need to get the new

:16:33. > :16:35.franchising. They have obviously failed, and need someone else.

:16:36. > :16:38.The Department for Transport told us it has no plans to strip

:16:39. > :16:41.The strikes came about because Southern is introducing

:16:42. > :16:43.driver-only operated doors on trains, a job that is usually

:16:44. > :16:46.done by conductors. The change has upset the unions.

:16:47. > :16:49.The strikes have been going on since April.

:16:50. > :16:52.Miss, why is the strike going on so long?

:16:53. > :16:58.Well, there's probably more than one reason but some say that special

:16:59. > :17:01.franchise we talked about is one of the main reasons

:17:02. > :17:05.That's because the company gets paid whether the trains run or not.

:17:06. > :17:08.Some people say this has now become a battle not just between the unions

:17:09. > :17:12.on one side and the train operating company on the other,

:17:13. > :17:14.but say the government is involved, because basically,

:17:15. > :17:18.But Nigel says it's not Southern who's forced this battle

:17:19. > :17:21.The introduction of driver-operated-only doors

:17:22. > :17:23.was insisted upon by the government as part of the franchise

:17:24. > :17:27.because they wanted to modernise the railways.

:17:28. > :17:31.This has not been a desire by Southern, who stood up

:17:32. > :17:34.one morning and said, "I know, let's introduce driver

:17:35. > :17:36."operation and drive it through regardless because we'll

:17:37. > :17:45.that and that's what the trains with government that they had to do

:17:46. > :17:49.It was a term of the contract with government that they had to do this.

:17:50. > :17:52.Every day for many months at Barnham station, there has been huge

:17:53. > :17:54.uncertainly ? will trains be delayed or even cancelled?

:17:55. > :18:07.There aren't actually any strikes planned for today, so this is a good

:18:08. > :18:08.day. She doesn't like sending me

:18:09. > :18:14.on my own and she gets a bit The fact that

:18:15. > :18:18.driver-only-operated doors was a clause in the franchise

:18:19. > :18:21.agreement is not a secret. But it doesn't seem

:18:22. > :18:23.to be widely known. The government has not been straight

:18:24. > :18:26.about the fact it is involved, because it's a concession which

:18:27. > :18:28.it drew up and signed with Southern, who are trying

:18:29. > :18:35.to meet their requirements. We asked the Department

:18:36. > :18:37.for Transport whether the special franchise has played its part

:18:38. > :18:42.in prolonging the strike. To the pupils and staff here,

:18:43. > :18:54.the politics don't matter. What counts is getting

:18:55. > :19:07.the trains back on track. I don't really mind what the outcome

:19:08. > :19:11.is any more. They just have to sort it out. They

:19:12. > :19:15.are both being stubborn. They are acting like schoolchildren.

:19:16. > :19:23.Rachel Royce reporting. As you get older, you tend to get fewer chances

:19:24. > :19:27.to take part in competitive sport, but over in Crawley, one group of

:19:28. > :19:32.women have not let their age or their gender stop them.

:19:33. > :19:36.A lot of women like to go to Zumba, they like to do dance classes,

:19:37. > :19:45.The ideal thing for me is to have a kickabout.

:19:46. > :19:48.I've spent a lot of time on the side line supporting my husband,

:19:49. > :19:51.supporting my son, supporting my daughter, never had the chance

:19:52. > :19:58.myself ? but now it's my time, my time to play football.

:19:59. > :20:01.I think it was never thought of us older women doing football.

:20:02. > :20:20.I'm 57, it's something that I would positively encourage.

:20:21. > :20:26.Carol Bates has been a long-time fan of Crawley Town Football Club.

:20:27. > :20:28.One day she saw a tweet from the club's community foundation.

:20:29. > :20:30.They were encouraging female footballers to get involved

:20:31. > :20:40.The tweet had a hashtag, #ThisGirlCan.

:20:41. > :20:43.I thought, OK, this girl can, let me try.

:20:44. > :20:50.So I asked what the maximum age was and they said 25.

:20:51. > :20:54.Which meant that Carol was 23 years too old to play.

:20:55. > :20:57.But instead of leaving it there and going back to the ironing,

:20:58. > :21:04.I was a bit disappointed, put one of those emoji sad faces

:21:05. > :21:09.and said maybe I can start a group myself.

:21:10. > :21:11.Crawley Town Football Club agreed to help if Carol could find

:21:12. > :21:13.other women like herself who would take part.

:21:14. > :21:17.So she put the word round that there would be a new group at Crawley

:21:18. > :21:22.for women over 25... Well over 25.

:21:23. > :21:26.Carol got some funding from the English Football League Trust

:21:27. > :21:36.And they called themselves... The Crawley Old Girls.

:21:37. > :21:39.When we first started, there were 10 of us and it really was...

:21:40. > :21:42.We couldn't kick a ball, and then as the weeks progressed,

:21:43. > :21:48.other people heard about it, more people came, so a year down

:21:49. > :21:50.the line, it's slightly different, in that we're not just coming

:21:51. > :21:53.for a bit of fun, we're actually learning things and we're

:21:54. > :21:59.Crawley Town became the first football league club

:22:00. > :22:09.And teaching them to play football is their head coach Marcus Doyle.

:22:10. > :22:14.They won't mind me saying so, they were quite daunted

:22:15. > :22:21.They'd just come along to have a kick around, really,

:22:22. > :22:23.and I noticed initially there were within this group

:22:24. > :22:26.of sort of mad women, there was the potential to see some

:22:27. > :22:30.talent there and after a couple of weeks, we sort of ratcheted it up

:22:31. > :22:38.a little bit and started to take it a little bit more seriously.

:22:39. > :22:41.You have got the talent and the quality. Drive into that space. We

:22:42. > :22:43.know we have got the touch. Today, women's football

:22:44. > :22:46.is a massively growing sport. And it's not uncommon to see

:22:47. > :22:49.young girls playing the game. But when the Crawley Old Girls

:22:50. > :22:53.were young girls, they missed out. I'm of a generation that

:22:54. > :22:56.missed out on playing football. And to actually get the chance

:22:57. > :22:59.to pull on a shirt, go out there, kick a ball around is the best thing

:23:00. > :23:03.that's happened to me, best thing. And now it's their head coach

:23:04. > :23:06.Marcus Doyle who is facing the challenge of bringing the lost

:23:07. > :23:12.generation up to scratch. Do that one for about six or seven

:23:13. > :23:16.seconds. Come on, reset! I don't want to say too much

:23:17. > :23:21.about him because his head might get But since he's come along,

:23:22. > :23:28.he has changed us all. He believes in us, he calls us

:23:29. > :23:32.footballers, you are not just, you know, just women playing

:23:33. > :23:35.football, you are footballers is what he keeps telling us,

:23:36. > :23:37.believe in yourself, Don't say too much, cos he will,

:23:38. > :23:41.he'll get too big-headed. In just under a week's time,

:23:42. > :23:44.the Crawley Old Girls face their local rivals

:23:45. > :23:55.the Lewes Ladies Veterans. OK, so you will be getting changed

:23:56. > :23:56.in the first team changing room, all right? The first-team will not be in

:23:57. > :23:57.there! It will be their first match

:23:58. > :24:02.at the Checkatrade Stadium, the home of Crawley Town

:24:03. > :24:04.Football Club. To walk out of that tunnel tonight

:24:05. > :24:07.with my Crawley shirt on, it's just going to be

:24:08. > :24:09.a dream come true. It's the last training session

:24:10. > :24:13.before the big game, and Marcus is about to announce

:24:14. > :24:15.the team's new captain. Yeah, shocked to start with,

:24:16. > :24:28.very emotional, a few tears, never done anything like lead

:24:29. > :24:34.a football team ever. Once you get them into that

:24:35. > :24:51.competitive situation, We will meet at the players'

:24:52. > :24:53.entrance. Meet there, OK? Tee where is the players' entrance?

:24:54. > :24:55.Once you get them into that competitive situation,

:24:56. > :24:58.they want to come along and they want to have fun

:24:59. > :25:01.and want to enjoy themselves, have a little bit of a giggle

:25:02. > :25:02.and what-have-you, but they want to win.

:25:03. > :25:06.I don't see them then as women who have come along for a laugh,

:25:07. > :25:11.I see them as players that want to win a match.

:25:12. > :25:14.Some of the team take the training for the big match very seriously,

:25:15. > :25:18.as the rest discovered when they met up for lunch to discuss some

:25:19. > :25:30.Me and my friend Sandra popped in for our daily bacon sandwich.

:25:31. > :25:40.Hello! Hello! You all right? Three Bacon signees, please. No.

:25:41. > :25:42.Jane, who's our captain, refused to serve us

:25:43. > :25:46.It wasn't a very healthy lunch, they wanted a bacon sandwich

:25:47. > :25:49.and I refused them purely because we've got a very

:25:50. > :25:58.And then Dermot, the manager of Crawley Town, walks in,

:25:59. > :26:02.Can I have a bacon sandwich, please? There you go.

:26:03. > :26:06...sidles past us and gets himself a bacon sandwich.

:26:07. > :26:08.A little bit disappointed, I must say, but then,

:26:09. > :26:13.Jane's got our interests at heart, I suppose.

:26:14. > :26:23.Last time these two teams met, Lewes won.

:26:24. > :26:27.So how do the COGs feel about tonight's Sussex derby?

:26:28. > :26:33.We will obviously be going out to win, but it's

:26:34. > :26:37.It's about camaraderie at this age, but there's still a little bit

:26:38. > :26:42.To put that Crawley Town shirt on and go out,

:26:43. > :26:44.us COGs all together, is an absolutely fantastic feeling.

:26:45. > :26:47.I think there's going to be a bit of anxiety, but most of all,

:26:48. > :26:51.I would say it is going to be excitement and thrilling to walk out

:26:52. > :27:02.I'm incredibly proud of what they've achieved.

:27:03. > :27:14.The game flies by and there are goals aplenty.

:27:15. > :27:18.So how did the COGS do in their big derby match?

:27:19. > :27:20.The final score was Crawley Old Girls, 1,

:27:21. > :27:25.Lewes Ladies Veterans... 4.

:27:26. > :27:32.But after such a crushing defeat, the mood is still high.

:27:33. > :27:35.Good stuff, well done. Go and have a glass of wine.

:27:36. > :27:38.I don't even care, the fact that all these women are playing

:27:39. > :27:41.Brilliant, I couldn't ask any more of our girls.

:27:42. > :27:47.Win, lose or draw as a COG, we're a team, we're a family,

:27:48. > :27:50.we enjoy it, it's the best thing we ever do, and I don't

:27:51. > :27:59.And it isn't just for young women either.

:28:43. > :28:46.I'm really sorry it's gone wrong, but we will sort it out.
