:00:00. > :00:08.Hello from Hambledon in Hampshire. Just one of many places in the South
:00:09. > :00:15.thoroughly exhausted by the floods. Here's what's coming up tonight.
:00:16. > :00:19.As the RSPCA steps in to rescue animals stranded in the floods, we
:00:20. > :00:24.will be meeting some of the people fighting to save their homes.
:00:25. > :00:33.There's nobody much left down here now.
:00:34. > :00:37.We are on the Isle of Wight to find out more about a zoo once called the
:00:38. > :00:45.worst in Britain. Oh, my goodness me. And opening the door on a few
:00:46. > :00:50.surprises hidden in the South's village halls. I'm John Cuthill and
:00:51. > :01:05.this is Inside Out for the South of England.
:01:06. > :01:12.First tonight, the rain keeps coming and the floodwaters keep rising. For
:01:13. > :01:17.Hambledon, this has become a way of life. They've had it for more than
:01:18. > :01:20.40 days. Other parts of the South are just coming to terms with it.
:01:21. > :01:30.Tonight, we are visiting the region badly affected by flooding. And
:01:31. > :01:34.finding out how people are coping. And this is what we're having to
:01:35. > :01:37.cope with. Homes across the South of England flooded on a scale rarely
:01:38. > :01:40.seen before. In Berkshire and Surrey, some people have said the
:01:41. > :01:44.RSPCA's special water rescue unit was the first emergency service on
:01:45. > :01:49.the scene. Before Fire and Rescue, and certainly before the military.
:01:50. > :01:57.Here to save animals, but like all emergency services here, helping
:01:58. > :02:02.anyone who needs it. This is my garden. Trina has her four cats and
:02:03. > :02:10.two rabbits to look after so she's staying put. It is not very tidy.
:02:11. > :02:15.This is actually gone down from yesterday. The whole of the floor is
:02:16. > :02:21.flooded but it is coming up through the floor. It is only going to come
:02:22. > :02:27.back. I've felt isolated. I can't get to work. So I can't get paid. I
:02:28. > :02:33.feel sorry for the cat out there but he won't come in. He's not mine,
:02:34. > :02:36.he's been left. RSPCA inspector Rosie Russon is finding calls to
:02:37. > :02:46.help stranded animals are leading her to people who have chosen not to
:02:47. > :02:50.evacuate and now need a hand. People just are nowhere to turn for help.
:02:51. > :02:56.It's OK, it is weighed a ball but it isn't safe. It is lifting manhole
:02:57. > :03:02.covers. `` you can wade through it but it isn't safe. It is not safe
:03:03. > :03:08.and it is not recommended to walk through it. I've got no problems to
:03:09. > :03:18.help the lady. There is nobody much left down there now. I wanted to see
:03:19. > :03:23.people. What number are you at it? Just around the corner families have
:03:24. > :03:29.had no choice but to leave their homes. The water came in through the
:03:30. > :03:34.front door. There was no sandbags, no electricity, nothing. The plugs
:03:35. > :03:41.weren't working, the lights were going on and off. We couldn't eat.
:03:42. > :03:48.We made a good choice by leaving. There is a storm coming, apparently.
:03:49. > :03:51.The tree branches falling off. It's apparently waist level now but we
:03:52. > :03:54.have to get back to the house and see the condition of it. With so
:03:55. > :04:01.many houses empty, thieves are already targeting the area. A couple
:04:02. > :04:09.of houses got down apparently. And it is going on elsewhere. What do
:04:10. > :04:15.you do? To bowl someone's house in a situation like this isn't fair. It
:04:16. > :04:22.is so unfair. That's why we have to leave our house, if things get
:04:23. > :04:25.stolen, it is going to worry everybody more. And it's not just
:04:26. > :04:33.valuables being stolen, it's the stuff desperately needed to protect
:04:34. > :04:38.people's homes. They had a sandbag delivery. At about 7am. And the
:04:39. > :04:43.vehicle was hijacked en route. 20 minutes from the village. All the
:04:44. > :04:50.sandbags got stolen. And there still aren't enough sandbags to go round,
:04:51. > :04:55.leaving houses without protection. They said to me two weeks ago when
:04:56. > :04:59.the water fits your door, we will send you some sandbags. Probably
:05:00. > :05:04.three. That was two weeks ago. I rang them three times on the day,
:05:05. > :05:09.they said they would send sandbags. They sent them to the top of the
:05:10. > :05:11.road and everybody loaded them up and disappeared with them. In
:05:12. > :05:14.Winchester, it's the overloaded River Itchen that's causing
:05:15. > :05:16.problems. And in an attempt to stop the flooding spreading, the
:05:17. > :05:22.Environment Agency has taken drastic action, making a dam upstream near
:05:23. > :05:30.the village of Easton. Meaning the fields of Duncan Gray's farm are to
:05:31. > :05:34.be sacrificed. We expect when we wake up tomorrow morning to see this
:05:35. > :05:38.whole area as far as you can see, maybe two or three feet deep in
:05:39. > :05:43.water. It depends on the flow and with the rain coming down now,
:05:44. > :05:47.things are going to get worse before they get better. And you've had to
:05:48. > :05:52.move livestock, get everything out of this area before the water
:05:53. > :05:56.comes? Yes, we were told this was going to happen yesterday. And we
:05:57. > :06:00.moved all our sheep and pigs to higher ground, and horses off the
:06:01. > :06:04.side. There are no animals hit at all, they are all safely on higher
:06:05. > :06:09.ground. Do you get any say in the matter or did you just get told it's
:06:10. > :06:13.happening? We got told, but it makes sense. If you're going to flood
:06:14. > :06:18.fields, it is better than having flooded houses. This is the
:06:19. > :06:23.Environment Agency doing the right thing. These are fields that were a
:06:24. > :06:26.flood plain at one time, so it is as well they go back to their older
:06:27. > :06:33.usage, underwater. But it'll go away. Across the South, water levels
:06:34. > :06:44.have been rising. 21 inches still to go. I am a bit wet. I don't care how
:06:45. > :06:51.far it is, as long as it is the right way. I'm not going anywhere! I
:06:52. > :06:57.wrap my take round my knee. I put the shoe in.
:06:58. > :07:02.Our intrepid RSPCA team has now waded a mile along the A320 and is
:07:03. > :07:10.organising rescue swapsies with Surrey Fire service in order to
:07:11. > :07:14.reach seven stranded cats. They are going to drive our team in the
:07:15. > :07:19.vehicle to the house we want to go to, get our cats, bring us back to
:07:20. > :07:22.our boat that will be waiting for us to use. We are trading re`sources
:07:23. > :07:25.but it makes perfect sense. The specialist RSPCA rescue team has
:07:26. > :07:29.been sent to Berkshire and Surrey because for now that's where they
:07:30. > :07:32.think the need is greatest. Lots of flooded homes means lots of pets in
:07:33. > :07:34.need of help and often there's nowhere for them to go. Animal
:07:35. > :07:50.sanctuaries are full to the brim. It's stressful. The Rangers tread.
:07:51. > :07:58.We thought we were OK. `` view rain is dreadful. It is the rain at the
:07:59. > :08:02.back. We will put them in the fire engine at the minute. Then we will
:08:03. > :08:05.work out where to take them. As well as these cats, in the past week,
:08:06. > :08:09.around the village of Wraysbury, the RSPCA team has rescued nearly 500
:08:10. > :08:21.animals, including 30 koi carp and a 45`year`old tortoise called Sidney.
:08:22. > :08:26.He's fine, he's lovely. We don't want him to wake up. The south coast
:08:27. > :08:31.has taken another battering over the weekend, creating these dramatic
:08:32. > :08:35.scenes at Milford on C`130 people were rescued after huge pebbles from
:08:36. > :08:39.the beach smashed through restaurant windows and sea water came in. On
:08:40. > :08:43.the Isle of Wight, homes were evacuated from the undercooked
:08:44. > :08:48.because of landslips, also a problem on the Dorset coast. As the clear up
:08:49. > :08:54.continues, the rain may have eased but the problems have not gone away.
:08:55. > :08:58.Next, it was once described as the worst zoo in England. I've been to
:08:59. > :09:06.the Isle of Wight to see how that has changed.
:09:07. > :09:10.Good boy. I'm told that when I was really little, I was put into a
:09:11. > :09:16.playpen with tiger cubs. I don't actually recall that but I believe
:09:17. > :09:20.it to be true. I grew up with bears and tigers, lions and leopards
:09:21. > :09:26.living in the house. Trying to get downstairs in the morning, with my
:09:27. > :09:29.slippers on... With a leopard guarding the stairway, and they'd
:09:30. > :09:34.always go for your ankles first thing in the morning. My friends
:09:35. > :09:40.told me it wasn't that normal but to me it was totally the way we lived.
:09:41. > :09:44.Six years ago, Charlotte Corney took on running the family zoo. And her
:09:45. > :09:52.life has been a roller`coaster ever since. I think the word struggle
:09:53. > :09:56.hits the nail on the head. It is a struggle, a constant challenge, and
:09:57. > :10:01.it is one that we have to meet head on because we can't fail.
:10:02. > :10:14.Charlie! Health check time. How are you?
:10:15. > :10:24.Charlie is coming up to 15 years old, he will be 15 this month. He is
:10:25. > :10:28.a friendly lion. He likes to meet people as well. But not all of the
:10:29. > :10:31.cats are feeling as sociable. One of Charlotte's tigers has a problem
:10:32. > :10:40.with a tooth and the dentist has been called in. We are going to be
:10:41. > :10:46.knocking out one of our female tigress is, she's 14, sushi is not a
:10:47. > :10:49.spring chicken. But she's had a fractured tooth for someone I'll and
:10:50. > :10:54.she's been on the waiting list to see the dentist. So we hope to have
:10:55. > :11:02.her not exactly on the dentist's chair but on the table within the
:11:03. > :11:10.next hour also. She needs lots of attention this morning. Lots of
:11:11. > :11:15.attention. She is my baby. We don't look the same, but she's been with
:11:16. > :11:19.me since she was three months old. I am her mother for all intents and
:11:20. > :11:27.purposes and I have a very deep bond with her. They lived with me for six
:11:28. > :11:31.months. In a caravan at the time. So all of their lives, I've been in
:11:32. > :11:37.their lives, so very precious animal to me personally.
:11:38. > :11:43.Beer good Tiger. I know, come on. Sedating a tiger can prove tricky.
:11:44. > :11:51.The vet needs to carefully give Ayshea just the right amount of
:11:52. > :11:55.anaesthetic. Good girl. Even though it may look like the drugs are
:11:56. > :12:00.working, the team need to be careful they're not caught out by a bit of
:12:01. > :12:05.acting. It can be deceptive, sometimes. They look like they are
:12:06. > :12:09.under, but we had the tail test. We always used to think it was the ears
:12:10. > :12:13.that were the most sensitive so used to test their ears and if they were
:12:14. > :12:19.OK, we would think, all right, get going. But we did it once and found
:12:20. > :12:23.out that, actually, that ears weren't the final thing, it was the
:12:24. > :12:27.tail. So now we use the tail test, we pinch the tail.
:12:28. > :12:32.Once the team's happy Ayshea's asleep, she needs to get to the
:12:33. > :12:41.operating room as quickly as possible. It definitely worries me.
:12:42. > :12:45.It is a stressful night's sleep. Just the process of sedating and
:12:46. > :12:51.anaesthetising a tiger just with us, they're always going to be some
:12:52. > :12:58.risks. `` there are always going to be some risks so we always take the
:12:59. > :13:09.cautions. `` we will always take precautions. We would rather they
:13:10. > :13:14.were up and about. I'd be much happier if she had her tooth fixed.
:13:15. > :13:18.And up and about. Big cats have proved a big draw for the Isle of
:13:19. > :13:22.Wight for decades, ever since the zoo first opened nearly 60 years
:13:23. > :13:26.ago. At the time, Sandown was a bustling resort where you would have
:13:27. > :13:31.been hard pushed to find a room in a B anywhere on the island. So, at
:13:32. > :13:38.the time, it was the perfect place for a businessman called Ronald
:13:39. > :13:49.Bateman to set up shop. You haven't been back for a while. Not since the
:13:50. > :13:52.70s. Has it changed? Incredibly. I was on the beach down there.
:13:53. > :14:00.Margaret Honeybourne was here on the day the zoo opened. What can you
:14:01. > :14:05.remember of the actual day? Lots of people. Really excited to see the
:14:06. > :14:12.stars who came and opened it, George can stay out who used to do lots of
:14:13. > :14:20.television programmes. It was very good. You are clutching your
:14:21. > :14:28.autograph book. I got his autograph! There we are. That is him. Barbara
:14:29. > :14:35.Kelly and Bernard Braden. He has his own programme. She used to appear on
:14:36. > :14:43.a programme as well. That was at the time. At the time, this area was
:14:44. > :14:48.very much bustling. Very busy. There were lots of visitors and not many
:14:49. > :14:57.places to visit. So, you know, this would have been a great attraction.
:14:58. > :15:01.Raj was a household pet. Now on the Isle of Wight, he keeps one
:15:02. > :15:05.civilised habit he picked up by taking a daily bath. For a while,
:15:06. > :15:08.the zoo thrived. Ronald Bateman, the owner, even appeared on television
:15:09. > :15:12.in a publicity stunt. But, by 1970, a combination of low visiting
:15:13. > :15:17.figures and a surge in the price of animal feed meant the zoo was in
:15:18. > :15:21.trouble. And in September of that year, Ronald found himself at the
:15:22. > :15:25.centre of unwanted media attention. The Sunday Times was running a story
:15:26. > :15:35.on the worst zoos in Britain and Sandown was on top of the list. The
:15:36. > :15:40.first I knew about it was a phone call from London that told me that
:15:41. > :15:46.two chaps had been down, they had a list of allegations, and would I be
:15:47. > :15:52.prepared to give an answer. I wasn't over the phone. And they wanted to
:15:53. > :15:56.write to me. A few days later, I received a list of these
:15:57. > :16:01.allegations. Then a third phone call, asking me to reply. I said I
:16:02. > :16:04.would not because I thought this was just a media story which I didn't
:16:05. > :16:08.like the look of. The headlines were damming. The paper dubbed it one of
:16:09. > :16:12.the worst zoos in Great Britain. Ronald decided to sell up. But the
:16:13. > :16:21.failing zoo was to be given one final chance. From an unlikely
:16:22. > :16:26.source. Charlotte's dad. He had no zoological background, no formal
:16:27. > :16:30.training. But he had an insane passion for wildlife that he
:16:31. > :16:35.couldn't suppress. We saw the suit up for sale in the newspaper. And
:16:36. > :16:41.the headline was slums it with Britain. It was sink or swim for the
:16:42. > :16:49.zoo. `` the headline was slums sue of Britain. He put a bid in. He
:16:50. > :16:54.bought it. I was tiny at the time, my mother was pulling her hair out
:16:55. > :16:57.but supportive. I think his vision was that he would run his
:16:58. > :17:02.construction firm and commute and this would be a hobby. Of course,
:17:03. > :17:05.that was never going to work. It soon took over his life. Charlotte's
:17:06. > :17:09.dad soon became well known across the Island. Partly down to the fact
:17:10. > :17:14.that he exercised the tigers on the beach. What was it like? I can't
:17:15. > :17:17.imagine someone wandering along the beach with tigers! It was really
:17:18. > :17:20.exciting and it was really exciting for us although we did keep well
:17:21. > :17:24.away. Terrifying! Cos you always think a tiger's going to kill you.
:17:25. > :17:28.Meanwhile, the operation is over for Ayshea and she needs to be back in
:17:29. > :17:32.her enclosure. We do it quickly because she will have very little
:17:33. > :17:36.sedative left in her system and she will be off the anaesthetic. So we
:17:37. > :17:40.need to get back her down quickly in the vehicle, get in, get in behind
:17:41. > :18:08.her legs, get the tube out and then give her the reversal.
:18:09. > :18:18.Hello! Ayshea`pops! She's woken up quite slowly. So she's just trying
:18:19. > :18:23.to come to terms with her experience, I think.
:18:24. > :18:31.It's OK. Good girl. I know! She still wants to come and be friendly,
:18:32. > :18:39.even when she's recuperating. I know! Oh, sweetie. They are not
:18:40. > :18:44.living museum pieces. These are our friends and family and we love them
:18:45. > :18:47.in a way that maybe is a little bit hard for people to understand. I
:18:48. > :18:52.don't know. People have dogs, cats and pets. It's a similar
:18:53. > :18:55.relationship but in a way, it goes deeper than that because obviously
:18:56. > :18:59.there are constraints on you know, for people in terms of how they are
:19:00. > :19:02.working with the animals here. Even myself included, now, because I
:19:03. > :19:05.don't go in with the big cats. So the way you communicate and the
:19:06. > :19:09.relationship that you develop with them has to be more sophisticated,
:19:10. > :19:13.in a sense. And the way that you are looking after them from a medical
:19:14. > :19:17.point of view, you know, we can't always be feeling them and we have
:19:18. > :19:21.to be really, really in tune with them. So there is a very deep bond
:19:22. > :19:25.there. Charlotte says she doesn't like seeing animals in cages but
:19:26. > :19:30.believes that to engage people in conservation, zoos have an important
:19:31. > :19:34.part to play. Seeing animals on the TV and so forth, it's interesting
:19:35. > :19:38.but you are not going to have an emotional reaction in the way that
:19:39. > :19:42.you do when you are close to them, you hear them, you smell them. Maybe
:19:43. > :19:47.even get to touch them. And that's when this kind of electrical
:19:48. > :19:50.reaction occurs, I think. And people go home and something has changed in
:19:51. > :20:00.their brains and in their hearts. That is priceless.
:20:01. > :20:06.And don't forget, you can find us on Twitter...
:20:07. > :20:09.Now, here in Hambledon they've turned their village hall into an
:20:10. > :20:15.emergency control centre and halls right across the south are
:20:16. > :20:17.much`loved and cherished buildings. And if you look close enough, some
:20:18. > :20:25.have a remarkable story to tell. Moreton in Dorset. It's the Annual
:20:26. > :20:31.Harvest Social. An evening of food and drink, old friends and memories
:20:32. > :20:36.of the hall. This is one of my husband's relatives. So what event
:20:37. > :20:44.is this? This is some pantomime they did. I was rector here for 11 years.
:20:45. > :20:48.This was my farewell and they gave me a bike. They decided the bike I
:20:49. > :20:53.used to ride around all the villages was a bit ancient and decrepit. I've
:20:54. > :20:57.still got it and I still use it! We used to have live music. A band
:20:58. > :21:02.would come over and a lot of the soldiers used to come here as well.
:21:03. > :21:06.There has been a lot of dancing in this hall over the years? Very much
:21:07. > :21:10.so, yes. Old time dancing, square dancing. A lot of fun! But this year
:21:11. > :21:13.things are different. This could be the final get together because
:21:14. > :21:18.Moreton's historic hall is crumbling. This may be one of the
:21:19. > :21:22.last village gatherings in this hall. I know it sounds dramatic but
:21:23. > :21:26.tonight, we thought forget the fund`raising, let's just have a
:21:27. > :21:30.social evening. We are not selling anything... Oh, apart from the
:21:31. > :21:35.raffle tickets! After 100 years, Moreton's beloved wooden village
:21:36. > :21:39.hall is about to finally give up. The surveyors have told us that if
:21:40. > :21:43.we get a lot of snow, the weight of it would collapse. We thought we had
:21:44. > :21:47.enough money put away to build a new roof but then when we looked at the
:21:48. > :21:51.building and the roof, they said the walls are rotten as well so you
:21:52. > :21:54.would have to replace the walls because they will not stand the
:21:55. > :22:01.weight of a new roof. Oh, look! Oh, it's... There is movement there. I
:22:02. > :22:05.don't know how many years ago, probably 40 years ago, they put in a
:22:06. > :22:09.brace inside to hold the walls in. Together? Yeah. Those have rotted
:22:10. > :22:14.away so the brace is not doing anything. So we're not sure why it's
:22:15. > :22:17.standing, quite honestly. It shouldn't be. She really is on her
:22:18. > :22:22.last legs, isn't she? I am afraid so. Really is on her last legs. And
:22:23. > :22:25.it's no surprise. Moreton's historic Village Hall originally began life a
:22:26. > :22:30.few miles down the road at Bovington Army Camp. It's formed out of two of
:22:31. > :22:34.the many huts which housed troops as they prepared to fight in World War
:22:35. > :22:39.I. After the war, surplus to requirements, it was given to the
:22:40. > :22:42.village. My dad worked on the farm all his life and as a youngster, he
:22:43. > :22:51.was involved in going to Bovington and bringing this hall back to here.
:22:52. > :22:54.He and most of the farmers in the village provided transport to bring
:22:55. > :23:01.this hall back, in sections, to here. And that would be in, well,
:23:02. > :23:05.1920. So a horse and cart job? Horse and cart job. Definitely a horse and
:23:06. > :23:09.cart job! There was no lorries or vehicles of that nature at that
:23:10. > :23:17.time! Despite its history, the only option left
:23:18. > :23:22.is to try and find the money to replace the entire hall. What would
:23:23. > :23:26.happen, do you think, to Moreton if it lost its village hall? We would
:23:27. > :23:29.all jump in our cars and go off in opposite directions and we wouldn't
:23:30. > :23:33.know each other. That's what this has done. We've got to know our
:23:34. > :23:37.neighbours. We get together. You know, we're not just relying on the
:23:38. > :23:41.car to shoot off to toddler group in one village and... You know, it's
:23:42. > :23:45.about knowing each other and meeting each other. I think that's what it
:23:46. > :23:49.does for us. Moreton's not the only village struggling to hang on to its
:23:50. > :23:50.historic hall. In Farringdon in Hampshire, their hall is part of
:23:51. > :23:57.Massey's Folley. It took the eccentric Reverand
:23:58. > :23:58.Thomas Massey 40 years to build. Rocketing maintenance costs have
:23:59. > :24:09.left it with an uncertain future. But elsewhere in the South, it's a
:24:10. > :24:11.different story altogether. The tiny village of Rotherwick has an
:24:12. > :24:19.absolute gem. Its impressive village hall was
:24:20. > :24:25.donated by a wealthy American in the 1930s, in memory of his son. Henry
:24:26. > :24:29.De Forest created this Arts and Crafts masterpiece, which includes a
:24:30. > :24:36.fully sprung dance floor... Wow, that's fantastic! ..handbuilt by a
:24:37. > :24:40.team of Italian craftsmen. No expense spared. The wow factor,
:24:41. > :24:44.isn't it? You saw it yourself. You come through that door and you see
:24:45. > :24:47.this and you're not expecting it. Especially in a village the size
:24:48. > :24:53.because, I mean, even today, it's more than enough for the size of the
:24:54. > :24:57.village. And then there are the halls which keep their secrets
:24:58. > :25:02.hidden. From the outside, Woodgreen looks like your typical 1930s
:25:03. > :25:04.village hall. But it's only when you go inside that you realise why it's
:25:05. > :25:12.quite so special. Every inch of the village hall is
:25:13. > :25:16.covered by an 80`year`old mural painted by two students from the
:25:17. > :25:23.Royal College of Art ` Robert Baker and Edward Payne. Oh, my goodness.
:25:24. > :25:29.Look at this! Hello. Hello. This is Woodgreen Village Hall. It certainly
:25:30. > :25:33.is. Look at this! The artists created a snapshot of a
:25:34. > :25:37.year in the life of the village. They were volunteered to spend seven
:25:38. > :25:43.months living in the village with a grant of ?100 each to pay for their
:25:44. > :25:47.lodgings and everything they did. And then they worked out a scheme to
:25:48. > :25:51.decorate every wall in the hall. They are everybody that was living
:25:52. > :25:54.in the village in that couple of years. And you can recognise
:25:55. > :25:59.everybody here? Oh, yes. And some of them are still alive. Gosh! Put down
:26:00. > :26:04.your broom, I want a tour. This is too good to miss! The 360 degree
:26:05. > :26:09.mural tells the story of the seasons and depicts everyday life. We start
:26:10. > :26:14.in the spring. Some of the trees have their leaves, others haven't
:26:15. > :26:17.yet got them. And the two chaps sitting there and planning their
:26:18. > :26:21.night's occupation. OK, they don't look entirely innocent. I have to
:26:22. > :26:26.say. No. No, they're not. Poaching? Poaching, yeah. And that view,
:26:27. > :26:30.though, is that a view that you can still see today? You can still see
:26:31. > :26:33.it today. Castle Hill. Yes, it is the view from Castle Hill with the
:26:34. > :26:37.river winding its way across the water meadows. Beautiful.
:26:38. > :26:42.Remarkably, the artists' original sketches and plans survive. Yes,
:26:43. > :26:47.there is the fruit picker from the other wall. With all the details and
:26:48. > :26:54.the notes. Notes for colouring and so on. That is the design of the
:26:55. > :26:56.stage, by the looks of it. The measurements and door heights?
:26:57. > :27:02.That's right. Oh, one of the artists. And looking down on the
:27:03. > :27:06.village hall is a permanent reminder of the men behind Woodgreen's Grade
:27:07. > :27:10.II listed masterpiece. It's so wonderful to have this picture of
:27:11. > :27:17.the village as it was in the early 1930s. None of them are my
:27:18. > :27:18.favourites. They are all my favourites. And I feel privileged to
:27:19. > :27:30.look after them. This proves, hopefully, that you
:27:31. > :27:34.should never just think of village halls as well, village halls. They
:27:35. > :27:41.are fantastic slices of our heritage, which we all too often
:27:42. > :27:45.take for granted. Back in Moreton, it's the end of the night and the
:27:46. > :27:49.end of an era. As one village hall closes its doors, the locals already
:27:50. > :27:55.have plans for a brand new community centre nearby. The dawn of a new
:27:56. > :27:59.chapter and I am sure it is going to be as colourful and as fantastic as
:28:00. > :28:03.the last 100 years. I am certain of that because it is these people,
:28:04. > :28:06.young and old, who will make it. And buildings are great. As an
:28:07. > :28:09.architect, I love buildings. But it's people that really matter and
:28:10. > :28:16.these people will follow the show across the road.
:28:17. > :28:21.And great news, Moreton successfully won a big lottery grant and building
:28:22. > :28:26.work on their new hall starts later this year. Right, that's all we've
:28:27. > :28:33.got time for this week. I'll see you next time. Next week on inside out,
:28:34. > :28:37.we meet two women from Worthing determined to change their lives for
:28:38. > :28:41.the better. I've got a sweet tooth, I like to eat... I'd rather actually
:28:42. > :28:45.eat a chocolate cake than sit down and eat a chicken dinner.
:28:46. > :28:47.And find out how Boscombe came to be called the drugs capital of the
:28:48. > :29:08.South. Hello, I'm Sam Naz with your 90
:29:09. > :29:12.second update. An independent Scotland can keep the
:29:13. > :29:16.pound. That's the message from First Minister Alex Salmond who insists
:29:17. > :29:18.it's better for UK business. He accused Westminster parties of
:29:19. > :29:22.bullying for ruling out a shared currency. Full story at Ten.
:29:23. > :29:26.Ten million pounds is being promised by the PM to help small business hit
:29:27. > :29:29.by recent storms. Severe flood warnings on the Thames have been
:29:30. > :29:33.downgraded, but experts say water levels could rise again.
:29:34. > :29:37.A co-pilot from Ethiopian Airlines has hijacked his own plane. He took
:29:38. > :29:40.control when the other pilot went to the toilet. He asked for asylum
:29:41. > :29:43.after landing in Switzerland. He's set to become Italy's
:29:44. > :29:44.youngest-ever prime minister. 39-year-old Matteo Renzi is
:29:45. > :29:45.promising
