:03:36. > :03:42.he'll be speaking to us in ` moment. But first, one of the casualties
:03:43. > :03:45.of the reshuffle was Environment Secretary Owen Paterson, who's no
:03:46. > :03:48.stranger to the West Countrx. His department of course was at the

:04:29. > :04:30.as flood relief work began, as Government money was pledged, as Mr
:04:31. > :04:43.Paterson became a regular vhsitor, There is a story that when he told
:04:44. > :04:47.the Environment Agency to start dredging these rivers, something
:04:48. > :04:52.that landowners had been pldading for four years, they told hhm that
:04:53. > :04:54.it would take six months to clear the red tape. He told them to make
:04:55. > :04:56.it happen in six weeks, and he did. Farmer James Winslade,
:04:57. > :04:58.one of the most high profild victims of the floods says, in the dnd,
:04:59. > :05:01.Owen Paterson got it. He understood, he acted quickly
:05:02. > :05:05.and the fear now is that flood relief work here may stall with
:05:06. > :05:21.a new minister at the helm. I hope that won't happen. That is a
:05:22. > :05:25.fear that we have. But everxone has got a sense that we must get it done
:05:26. > :05:26.before this winter. We do not want any more delays.
:05:27. > :05:29.And that's a worry shared by a Somerset MP who once sdrved
:05:30. > :05:34.under Owen Paterson in the Environment Department.
:05:35. > :05:42.What worries me is that aftdr getting Owen to understand what was
:05:43. > :05:44.needed, and he was working closely with us, we have do start all over
:05:45. > :05:44.again. When it comes to the badger cull,
:05:45. > :05:47.views on Owen Paterson are Farmers will miss him, becatse
:05:48. > :05:50.he drove through the unpopular. But anti`cull protestors hope
:05:51. > :06:07.a change in minister will bring I think it has got to be good news
:06:08. > :06:11.that someone is going who w`s so entrenched with his views and was
:06:12. > :06:12.taking no notice of the scidnce that is so clear.
:06:13. > :06:14.There are some who believe the new Environment Secretary has
:06:15. > :06:16.benefited from a cull of the middle aged male minhsters.
:06:17. > :06:19.The West Country will have lore than a little interest
:06:20. > :06:39.Paul is with us now. What I the chances of a rethink on the policy
:06:40. > :06:45.about the badgers? I think it is unlikely. But this is
:06:46. > :06:51.a bit of a poisoned chalice. We have seen the ministers come and go. We
:06:52. > :06:55.have seen ministers like David Heath who have stood down from thd role.
:06:56. > :07:00.It is a difficult one. I don't think they will roll it out, but they will
:07:01. > :07:04.continue with it in the auttmn and I think that the Minister will stay
:07:05. > :07:09.with that. Having said that, there is a court case being heard in the
:07:10. > :07:14.few weeks. Why do you think that Liam Fox did
:07:15. > :07:20.not want to take it? Some people say that he shotld have
:07:21. > :07:24.done, because it was a way back into government. But others say that it
:07:25. > :07:34.is too lowly paid job. It is equivalent to a role that hd held 18
:07:35. > :07:40.years ago. `` a lowly held job. Lord Jonathan Hill, you may not have

:16:05. > :16:13.retire from the game. I got to be in historical thmes and
:16:14. > :16:19.that rubbed off on me. I did not feel that it would be the rhght
:16:20. > :16:26.thing to do to look at playhng for a club for one or two years.
:16:27. > :16:30.Mike Tindall joined the back team as a teenager is straight out of
:16:31. > :16:36.school. It was not long before England spotted his talents.
:16:37. > :16:41.Those talents that he had as a schoolboy, he was always gohng to
:16:42. > :16:47.get there. In terms of his `ttitude and physique, he had it all. He was
:16:48. > :16:55.built to play rugby for England He switched to Gloucester in 20 5,
:16:56. > :16:59.where he finished his career as a player and coach. The changds in the
:17:00. > :17:06.setup of the club meant that there were no places for him next season.
:17:07. > :17:10.He would be the first to adlit that with the people coming in, he does
:17:11. > :17:14.not have the level of experhence at the moment. He is a talented man and
:17:15. > :17:18.he would do well in whatever he does.
:17:19. > :17:24.The World Cup changed his lhfe in more ways than one. It was there
:17:25. > :17:28.that he met the Princess Roxal's daughter Zara Phillips. Thex got
:17:29. > :17:33.married and they now have a daughter. In recent years, he has
:17:34. > :17:39.shown an interest in horse racing. He is part owner of a coursd that
:17:40. > :17:46.ran the Grand National. But it is likely that he will work in the

:17:57. > :18:01.is finally calling it a day. Cricket News and Somerset are back

:18:38. > :18:47.for pockets of warm rising. At the world championships, he'll
:18:48. > :18:51.have to beat the best over several courses mapped out over hundreds

:19:11. > :19:18.them and also from your eyes to catch the wind.
:19:19. > :19:19.So you are cheating? It is tactics. Everyone is trying to do thd same.
:19:20. > :19:21.None of this speed would possible without Pami.

:21:50. > :21:55.Shaun the Sheep are known across the world. He will have his own movie

:22:56. > :23:02.You must be feeling great. I feel wonderful. I was takdn aback
:23:03. > :23:06.when he was voted the most popular character because I have grown up
:23:07. > :23:13.with things that some important to me still, like and Ben and the Magic
:23:14. > :23:17.roundabout. And to think th`t Sean has that effect on people is
:23:18. > :23:23.amazing. What is the appeal of Shaun the
:23:24. > :23:26.Sheep? He is very cute. I think he is a
:23:27. > :23:34.character that likes to push boundaries. We think of him like a
:23:35. > :23:42.ten`year`old boy. He has got fences, he has to eat grass. There `re
