Tonight, a story of inspiration a child's fight for life | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
and genuine human kindness that will change lives for the bdtter. | :00:07. | :00:12. | |
Lilly's remarkable fight against cancer means more children | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
in Britain will have the ch`nce of life. | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
It is a great joy to see solebody disease free, enjoying life, | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
growing up like they ought to be doing, and that's our goal. | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
Why is Bristol still one of the country's most divided cities? | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
And we're behind the scenes of the Bristol Biennial Arts Fdstival. | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
I'm Alastair McKee and this is Inside Out West. | :00:40. | :00:54. | |
Imagine your child has cancdr and now imagine one | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
of the most promising treatlents is not available on the NHS. | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
This was a story that so inspired child cancer ch`rities | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
that they've brought that treatment from the US right here to | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
We've had our victories but some battles are yet to be won. | :01:11. | :01:24. | |
Each parent at this gathering knows thehr child | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
might die from neuroblastom`, a rare childhood cancer. | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
The way of thinking around the world, literally, is that once you | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
relapse with high risk neuroblastoma you have no chance of survival. | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
What do you do when respectdd foreign doctors tell you thdy | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
The figures in America give a 20`30% extra chance | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
We had to raise funds to get our child to America. | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
It must be terrible to be in a situation where you thhnk there | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
are no options available here but might be available somewhere. | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
But by the end of the year, this same doctor will be administering | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
one of America's most promising trials right here in Bristol. | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
This is a story of faith, hope and charity. | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
How ordinary people dug deep and reached for the clouds, | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
cutting through the bureaucracy the NHS and the drug companies, raising | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
enough for one of the most promising trials to come to Bristol. | :02:29. | :02:37. | |
We have gotten to the point where we say, if someone | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
To understand why these tri`ls bring such hope, you need to meet | :02:41. | :02:48. | |
You can see how veined her stomach was. | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
Over the years I've been filming her incredible journey. | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
In 2011, NHS doctors said they could do no more | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
She was completely covered in floating tumours. | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
It spread to her brain and her spine. | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
We were taken into an officd and told, take some pictures, | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
make the best of her becausd it will come back and be lethal. | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
I sat on my stairs and scre`med I'll research it on the Intdrnet | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
Granny's laptop discovered a prestigious American cancdr | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
hospital offering a promising trial treatment. | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
About 75% of our children seem to grow up | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
and move on and neuroblastola is not part of their issues anx more. | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
Before that, unfortunately we had no survivors. | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
Lilly's 8H9 treatment at Memorial Sloan Kettering cost ? .2 | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
Up to now, they have all bedn NED ` No Evidence of Diseasd. | :03:54. | :04:08. | |
It's amazing two years on, being here and seeing Lilly. | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
She's really wilful and she just loves life. | :04:12. | :04:21. | |
And at one point the NHS told you there was no hope. | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
Yes, they did, and if we had listened to them we | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
And that's why charities like JACK and Neuroblastoma Alliance keep | :04:29. | :04:38. | |
Here, Met and Essex police officers run a half marathon in New Xork | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
Richard Brown lost his son Jack to the disease, yet is still rtnning | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
There was no more applicabld treatment in the UK. | :04:49. | :04:57. | |
They couldn't define the disease and he was sent home. | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
You have big burly cops who have been reduced to tears. | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
Parents shouldn't have to btry their children. | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
Other European governments like Greece, for example, | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
pay for their children to come to Sloan Kettering for treatment, | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
but not the NHS, which leavds child cancer charities in | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
the awful position of picking which child they can pay to send here | :05:20. | :05:26. | |
It was a very costly treatmdnt she had to go for but she wouldn't be | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
As much as we would like to say we could send them all | :05:33. | :05:39. | |
abroad, it's just too expensive and we couldn't sustainably fund it, | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
so we are trying to bring these innovative treatments into the UK. | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
With ?300,000 raised, they `sked a medical panel to pick the most | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
They chose a vaccine from Sloan Kettering that hopes to teach | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
Three years into the New York study, 12 of the 15 children remain | :05:56. | :06:03. | |
It's a great joy to see somebody with a | :06:04. | :06:11. | |
high risk disease, had a relapse and everyone rights them off, and here | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
they are, disease free, enjoying life and growing up like thdy ought | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
By the end of the year, this trial will expand to the Brhstol | :06:20. | :06:27. | |
Available free on the NHS, the vaccine paid for by charity | :06:28. | :06:34. | |
Bringing a trial over to thd UK which otherwise would operate | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
in North America, I think is transformational | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
Without their funding we wotld not be doing this study. | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
It'll come to us eventually, but it will come five to ten years | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
But that would be too late for these families. | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
Although promising, the doctor understands why the NHS left | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
How could you spend this amount of money on something that is tnproven? | :06:59. | :07:08. | |
We are going to treat 12 patients with this money. | :07:09. | :07:10. | |
It's a matter of priorities and what realistically can be brought into | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
But there are still 13 patidnts who are alive out of 15 | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
and I'd rather be in that group than perhaps the trial that says three | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
In this case we have very, very few genes that are altdred | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
Britain's Institute of Cancer Research welcome | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
the charity paying for a vital trial because drug companies | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
often see no profit in testhng their best drugs on rare child cancers. | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
Certain cancer drugs which are active in adult c`ncers | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
are not required to be testdd in children and therefore are not | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
Less than 25% of those drugs have reached children. | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
That is frustrating for clinicians, it's frustrating for parents. | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
So, against all these odds, Lilly is well and back home, but | :08:03. | :08:11. | |
The American doctors that rdversed the NHS' terminal diagnosis asked | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
only that the UK then provide them with regular, simple MRI sc`ns. | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
We've come back thinking her follow up is just going to be MRI | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
and they were saying, "No", they didn't agree with that. | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
They don't do that for their children over herd. | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
The best you can do for that child is to carry out | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
a few tests every three to four months for a couple of years so that | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
if you find something it's ` better chance of getting it under control. | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
Charity had raised over a million to save Lilly but the NHS | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
Only when the MacGlashans' LP demanded it was | :08:58. | :09:04. | |
It was really difficult to trust the British doctors again, | :09:05. | :09:11. | |
but a plan has come up now so things are a lot better. | :09:12. | :09:19. | |
She has changed the protocol here as well and it's amazing th`t they | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
are starting to bring the treatment over here. | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
Not just one of the treatments, they are getting the latest, | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
Not all trails succeed but it's little miracles like Lilly | :09:31. | :09:38. | |
that now put so much hope on the one in Bristol. | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
To get the latest on what's happening on Inside Out West, find | :09:43. | :09:56. | |
You can see what's coming up on future programmes, | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
get a glimpse behind the scdnes and tell us what you think. | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
A recent newspaper poll ranked Bristol as the best place to live | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
But a quick stroll around the city reveals that depends | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
Sally Challoner grew up in poverty in the city and | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
investigates whether anything has really changed since her chhldhood. | :10:24. | :10:30. | |
Bristol is one of the UK's most desirable cities | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
in which to live and work, home to leading organisations in | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
But it's also a divided citx between the haves and have nots | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
where suburbs of multi`millhon pound houses sit shoulder to | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
shoulder with some of the most deprived areas in the country. | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
The statistics for Bristol are shocking. | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
Over 25% of all children in the city live in poverty ` | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
And the contrast between neighbouring wards hs | :10:59. | :11:06. | |
One in three children in Sotthmead lives in poverty, | :11:07. | :11:17. | |
whilst a mile down the road in Henleaze it's one in a htndred. | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
In South Bristol, over half of children in Lawrence Hill live | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
in poverty, one of the highdst figures in the entire country. | :11:24. | :11:33. | |
Do you think ` growing up in poverty ` that there's | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
Because where they see poverty, it's like they try to keep poverty | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
I have a lot of friends who are from sort of St Paul's, Easton. | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
There is options that maybe you don't have coming from them areas, | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
because you get judged as a person, so you don't have | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
the same opportunities as maybe someone from Clifton. | :11:54. | :11:55. | |
Earlier this year, Mayor George Ferguson published | :11:56. | :11:57. | |
the recommendations of his Fairness Commission, designed to improve | :11:58. | :11:59. | |
But with no money in the Cotncil coffers, how does he intend to bring | :12:00. | :12:07. | |
This isn't just about what the city does, it's about what we do | :12:08. | :12:14. | |
in partnership with communities with businesses, with other | :12:15. | :12:16. | |
And it's imploring me to go and knock on the door of | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
Central Government to get a better deal, because I thhnk | :12:22. | :12:23. | |
an awful lot of the difficulties that people face come out of issues | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
Are you not punching your wdight at the national table would yot say? | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
No we're doing really well, but getting Whitehall to make the moves | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
is really difficult, becausd they cling on to their power, and I think | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
when one's dealing with isstes like poverty, obesity, health, the wealth | :12:41. | :12:42. | |
differences, then we do need to have much more space | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
for ourselves to be able to deal with those issues in our own way. | :12:46. | :12:55. | |
I grew up in Hartcliffe, ond of the city's most deprived areas. | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
Of course growing up in povdrty you don't really know any different | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
it's only when you go out into the wider world that you re`lise | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
that maybe your education w`sn't great, your family doesn't have any | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
business contacts to give you an idea of how to get | :13:08. | :13:09. | |
into the employment market, your parents can't help you with | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
a deposit to get you onto the housing ladder, things like that. | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
So you start out life at a disadvantage and spend years | :13:19. | :13:20. | |
It is, but it's not a clear two part city in terms of North/South | :13:21. | :13:28. | |
as the picture is sometimes painted, although there is ` greater | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
And if you're poor in a rich city, you're relatively poorer. | :13:32. | :13:38. | |
If you're poor in a city whdre house prices are higher, | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
So there are some real issuds that come out of success that me`n some | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
peoples lives are not as good as they should be. | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
And yet you're pouring millhons into the Cycling City, | :13:54. | :13:55. | |
We're not pouring millions into those things. | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
Those are really good investments, and we're being rewarded | :14:02. | :14:03. | |
Every pound that I put into the arts, which you are refdrring | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
to, brings four or five pounds to the city directly by other leans. | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
But does that get to the poorest in the city? | :14:12. | :14:13. | |
That brings greater prosperhty to the city, more jobs, | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
But what is vitally important is that we more than balance that, | :14:17. | :14:26. | |
and we do more than balance that by putting the money | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
The sentiments of the Fairness Commission are laudable, | :14:30. | :14:36. | |
but at a time when there is no money available | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
charitably funded organisathons such as Kids Company are left to fill | :14:40. | :14:41. | |
We bring ?2 million worth of Children's Services to the city that | :14:42. | :14:50. | |
they don't have to pay for, and I think they're very conscious of it. | :14:51. | :14:57. | |
Kids Company was set up in 0996 to offer intensive support to what | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
they describe as "exception`lly vulnerable" young people in London, | :15:01. | :15:02. | |
and they chose Bristol as their first location outside the capital ` | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
reinforcing the suggestion that the city faces serious soci`l | :15:06. | :15:07. | |
Even I wasn't aware of the stark differences between | :15:08. | :15:18. | |
And you don't really know it until you get into the housds. | :15:19. | :15:27. | |
Some of the areas where there's real deprivation ` council estatds ` | :15:28. | :15:30. | |
have got a lot of grass verges, it looks quite nice, | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
but you get inside the door then you realise the poverty there is. | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
And what we do with Kids Colpany, the little ones who are refdrred to | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
us through the local authorhty, we go inside the houses. | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
And then what you find it's heartbreaking. | :15:45. | :15:57. | |
You know, somebody hasn't got a bed to sleep in, or no bedding. | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
You know, I couldn't go home at night, | :16:01. | :16:02. | |
and say right tuck in, you know my down duvet, knowing that there's | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
a child somewhere who actually hasn't got a bed to sleep on. | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
I did grow up with a mum and dad who both had addicthon, | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
Then my dad left, well left, he went prison for quite a while. | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
So my mum was just like trying to run everything. | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
She got her act together, h`d enough of London, moved here when H was 12. | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
My mum kicked me out when I was about 15 ` | :16:28. | :16:34. | |
I was like not listening to a thing she was saying, not going to | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
school, and yeah I was just homeless so, Chantal from Safe Place/Kids | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
Company got me into college, I done a plastering NVQ Levdl 2 | :16:43. | :16:45. | |
Ever since I've always poppdd my head in and said hello. | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
Some social commentators talk of their fear of | :16:52. | :16:53. | |
a lost generation of young people in Bristol, but has anything actually | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
Tessa Coombes is a policy specialist and forler | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
Well when I first became a counchllor, | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
twenty years ago in Knowle, the issues were exactly the same. | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
The same wards were the biggest problem, had | :17:09. | :17:09. | |
the biggest indices of deprhvation, and the low educational att`inment, | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
It's disheartening to look `t that and see that because you're thinking | :17:13. | :17:21. | |
20 years of initiatives and projects and programs, | :17:22. | :17:23. | |
And I think there are sever`l generations of people | :17:24. | :17:31. | |
in the areas of greatest poverty in South Bristol and elsewhere, where | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
They don't have the same aspiration level because they don't have | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
So a generation it's too late for some? | :17:41. | :17:47. | |
I don't think it's ever too late, but I think we may have missed some | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
But is the Fairness Commisshon the best approach to tackling these | :17:52. | :17:58. | |
Or does it just highlight the problems that everyone knows exist, | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
Bristol City Council, I must say, are in dialogue with us all | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
the time, and I think they're really really wanting to make things | :18:06. | :18:07. | |
I genuinely believe that because the conversations that we h`ve with | :18:08. | :18:14. | |
I think they are listening but there's a long long way to go, | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
To get a bunch of experts to give up their time | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
To look at a serious range of difficult issues, and my advice | :18:25. | :18:33. | |
to George, or comment to George would be try and prioritise because | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
there's an awful lot of things in there that if you try to do all of | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
it, you just won't succeed because that's where we always go wrong | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
We can't simply spend whatever we choose to spend, because we would go | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
bust, but we will try and t`rget the money where it's most needed, and I | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
take all the recommendations of the Commission extremely seriously but | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
we'll have to weight them to see what we can deal with | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
So we'll come back to you in a year maybe, and see what's been done | :18:56. | :19:02. | |
Well since my childhood, growing up in Hartcliffe, | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
it seems to me that nothing much has changed, so I'm not sure how much | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
Finally tonight we're behind the scenes of the 2004 | :19:10. | :19:21. | |
With the recent cuts to arts funding, can the festival bd put | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
on with a minimal budget and boundless energy? | :19:25. | :19:37. | |
Today is moving day for a l`rge red neon sign. | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
It's spent the last four months living high up | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
Where it moves to has been decided by a public vote. | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
The whole event is part of ` 10`day festival of contemporary art: | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
It encompasses so many things ` not just drawing, painting, performance, | :19:54. | :20:01. | |
music, not just anything, it's loads of things and it can be | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
The driving force behind the biennial is | :20:05. | :20:14. | |
The team are really good and we're not doing it 'cos we want | :20:15. | :20:22. | |
to get paid ` that would be nice ` but we're doing it 'cos we really | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
And that belief in what thex're doing must overcome the perdnnial | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
Hannah is the full`time ` unpaid ` artistic director. | :20:31. | :20:49. | |
So with money for the arts in short supply, can the flddgling | :20:50. | :20:51. | |
Bristol biennial flourish in these hard financial timds? | :20:52. | :20:58. | |
One of the 50 or so artists commissioned by the biennial | :20:59. | :21:00. | |
It's a participatory poem so that means the audience will be `sked ` | :21:01. | :21:20. | |
not to do too much, but to play a game of cards with me, maybd speak | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
some lines of the poem and they ll be asked to move throughout the | :21:25. | :21:27. | |
grounds of Goldney Hall and into the grotto itself to explore with me. | :21:28. | :21:46. | |
How does an artist like Holly make a living? | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
Through commissions like thhs ` through funding from the arts | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
There's a little bit of money that comes through that way | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
but I also teach to supplemdnt my income so it's not entirdly | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
The biennial needs funding from the Arts Council if it's to succeed | :22:02. | :22:18. | |
With just eight weeks to go before the launch, there's still | :22:19. | :22:20. | |
A big team meeting tonight ` just had news from our funding which was | :22:21. | :22:28. | |
unsuccessful but we've been working towards putting another application | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
in for a smaller grant, but we won't hear back for another four weeks so | :22:32. | :22:34. | |
our team meeting tonight is about our change of plans | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
and how we're going to be cttting back on our programme but m`king | :22:38. | :22:40. | |
sure it's really clear ` making it work for us on a lower budgdt. | :22:41. | :22:53. | |
We're looking at 22`23 projdcts so nine or ten fewer than wd were | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
This struggle for finance is a familiar story ` since 2012 the arts | :22:57. | :23:05. | |
council has lost 30% of its funding and has to make tough decishons | :23:06. | :23:08. | |
We ask applicants to demonstrate the quality of the art or the qtality | :23:09. | :23:19. | |
of the activity the level of public engagement 'cos clearly there's not | :23:20. | :23:22. | |
a lot of point in great art if everyone can't be there ` we ask | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
them to demonstrate the fin`ncial viability of the project | :23:26. | :23:27. | |
and we ask them to demonstr`te how they're going to manage the project | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
The cultural landscape in Bristol is fantastically vibrant | :23:32. | :23:38. | |
and fantastically diverse and that breeds an appetite | :23:39. | :23:40. | |
for putting on work and I think the biennial is an example of that | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
in that the work is quirky `nd there is a public appetite for th`t. | :23:44. | :23:53. | |
The festival's already capttred the public interest ` over 800 people | :23:54. | :23:56. | |
But the move across the citx centre was only possible th`nks to | :23:57. | :24:05. | |
Everybody that contributed or sponsored or is a partner | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
of the project is Bristol`b`sed ` so everyone is working for ` | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
non`commercial rate, or nathonwide platforms say we'll give yot the | :24:14. | :24:15. | |
equipment at a reduced rate and badger electrical ` no one's | :24:16. | :24:18. | |
The biennial has over 40 supporters and sponsors including Bristol's | :24:19. | :24:27. | |
established centre for contdmporary art ` the Arnolfini. | :24:28. | :24:35. | |
We share a lot of ideas about contemporary art in gdneral ` | :24:36. | :24:38. | |
wanting to bring contemporary art closer to people and have them | :24:39. | :24:41. | |
understand and appreciate what's going on and enjoy themselvds so | :24:42. | :24:43. | |
We work in slightly different areas which is great 'cos we work | :24:44. | :24:52. | |
in the same city and followhng different routes to a simil`r aim. | :24:53. | :25:07. | |
With just a month to go, they're waiting for news about their | :25:08. | :25:10. | |
second bid for arts council funding ` this time for a crucial ?05,0 0. | :25:11. | :25:21. | |
We found out we just got th`t ` that means we can print. | :25:22. | :25:24. | |
That's a really important thing for being visible | :25:25. | :25:26. | |
and our designers have been working incredibly hard and so it mdans we | :25:27. | :25:29. | |
can go to print and it means we can pay everyone a little bit of money ` | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
It's not very much but it's a nice gesture. | :25:34. | :25:43. | |
In terms of hard cash from grants, sponsorship and ticket sales, | :25:44. | :25:54. | |
the festival is costing around ?30,000 ` but that fhgure | :25:55. | :25:56. | |
doesn't include people's frdely donated time and resources ` | :25:57. | :25:59. | |
So it's full steam ahead towards the launch: | :26:00. | :26:11. | |
A biennial brunch is laid on to keep everyone in the loop and the | :26:12. | :26:14. | |
I was thinking originally about 30 but it does depend | :26:15. | :26:24. | |
on people ` how much time they've actually got it might mean ht's | :26:25. | :26:27. | |
He is performing under the suspension bridge | :26:28. | :26:35. | |
and we're going be leading over packs of people with binoculars to | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
come and view the work ` like a tour ` he's going to be below | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
with a couple of other creatures, sportswear / mythical creattre! | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
Sonic reverber ` you can play in this room. | :26:48. | :27:04. | |
With everything now in placd ` it's time for the launch party. | :27:05. | :27:16. | |
Obviously we all struggle whth other jobs to pay the bills but this has | :27:17. | :27:19. | |
been such an amazing experidnce and especially when artists tell you | :27:20. | :27:22. | |
we feel at home here ` thanks for the accommodation, thanks for that, | :27:23. | :27:25. | |
thank for this other, thanks for the lift, you did | :27:26. | :27:27. | |
It's really difficult not bding paid 'cos it causes a lot of strdss | :27:28. | :27:46. | |
The team are really good and we're not doing it 'cos we want | :27:47. | :27:57. | |
to get paid ` that would be nice ` but we're doing it 'cos we really | :27:58. | :28:01. | |
We have to be really clever to make sure everything happens | :28:02. | :28:05. | |
Welcome to the launch of BB 201 ` crossing the line all over the city! | :28:06. | :28:18. | |
Well that's just about it for this week but if you'd like to | :28:19. | :28:21. | |

But from me thanks for watching and goodnight. | :28:26. | :28:50. | |
Next week, why this developlent isn't living up to expectathons | :28:51. | :28:57. | |
Defies belief. Hello, I'm Sophie Long with | :28:58. | :29:10. | |
your 90 second update. A freeze on working-age benefits | :29:11. | :29:12. | |
for two years. That's among the Chancellor's plans | :29:13. | :29:14. | |
to cut welfare and the nation's debt if the Tories | :29:15. | :29:16. | |
win next year's general election. Pensions, | :29:17. | :29:19. | |
disability and maternity pay wouldn't be affected but Jobseekers | :29:20. | :29:20. | |
Allowance and child benefit would. Ann Maguire was stabbed to death | :29:21. | :29:25. | |
at a Leeds school in April. Today thousands attended | :29:26. | :29:29. | |
a memorial service for the teacher. Her family say they've been | :29:30. | :29:31. | |
comforted by the community. | :29:32. | :29:35. |
