:21:11. > :21:12.of the opening of Brunel's We asked science journalist
:21:13. > :21:16.Jheni Osman to choose her five Today she's been discovering how,
:21:17. > :21:32.in the 14th century, Wells It is one of the most beauthful
:21:33. > :21:37.cathedrals in England. Escaped the Civil War and survived the Black
:21:38. > :21:43.death. But it would not be here today if it was not for somd unique
:21:44. > :21:52.solutions to a serious problem. In the 14th century, Wells Cathedral
:21:53. > :21:55.was sinking. This Cathedral archaeologist says the East End of
:21:56. > :22:00.the cathedral was built on gravel and the West End on clay. It started
:22:01. > :22:01.sinking almost immediately, but the real problems came after they added
:22:02. > :22:04.real problems came after thdy added the tower. They finished the
:22:05. > :22:09.real problems came after they added the tower. They finished thd tower
:22:10. > :22:12.in 1325, and then the thing starts to tear itself to pieces,
:22:13. > :22:18.effectively. There is a letter saying the fabric is broken at the
:22:19. > :22:30.heart. So they have to call in a master mason, and he designs the
:22:31. > :22:33.great scissor archers. This lady has written extensively about the
:22:34. > :22:34.cathedral. She likes to imagine the outright panic amongst the builders.
:22:35. > :22:37.When these tracks started, `nd outright panic amongst the builders.
:22:38. > :22:42.When these tracks started, `nd some are as tall as a pillar, they must
:22:43. > :22:50.have been petrified. They were kind of scrabbling around like frightened
:22:51. > :22:51.rabbits, really, what do we do next? In this period, several towers in
:22:52. > :22:55.the country fell down. So wd In this period, several towdrs in
:22:56. > :22:58.the country fell down. So we were lucky really, or we had a vdry good
:22:59. > :23:07.lucky really, or we had a very good master mason, or a bit of both, and
:23:08. > :23:13.we are still standing proudly. Instead of the arch going lhke that,
:23:14. > :23:16.Instead of the arch going like that, they connect the whole thing up .. I
:23:17. > :23:18.they connect the whole thing up... I sat in on a class at the blte
:23:19. > :23:21.they connect the whole thing up .. I sat in on a class at the blue School
:23:22. > :23:27.in Wales. The pupils are finding out why archers are so good at carrying
:23:28. > :23:31.weight. Dry spaghetti may not be the best building material, that but the
:23:32. > :23:35.results illustrated the point that scissor archers can carry more
:23:36. > :23:40.weight. As well as looking really nice, it is incredibly strong. Much
:23:41. > :23:45.stronger than the original. The archers are the most obvious
:23:46. > :23:46.features of the repair work, but the real strength comes from the
:23:47. > :23:54.real strength comes from thd internal buttresses. Everything that
:23:55. > :23:57.you see in red is 1338 masonry. They have built this internal flxing
:23:58. > :23:59.have built this internal flying buttress which carries the thrust
:24:00. > :24:04.always down from the tower base. always down from the tower base.
:24:05. > :24:09.Which is what we can see up there. Yes, it has partly blocked the lower
:24:10. > :24:12.part of the window. This is one of the miracles of medieval
:24:13. > :24:17.engineering. So, they did not get off to a great start, but the
:24:18. > :24:18.rebuilding work of 1338 turned out to be an engineering and artistic
:24:19. > :24:23.masterpiece. Tomorrow, Jheni will be in Wiltshire
:24:24. > :24:25.examining the latest theorids about how Neolithic engineers built
:24:26. > :24:40.Stonehenge. Now, Ian, I think the gardens are
:24:41. > :24:46.pretty pleased, but we are wondering whether it is the end of sulmer
:24:47. > :24:53.It is quite a common question. It only takes a hurricane and some
:24:54. > :24:58.blustery showers and everyone think it is all over. Not so. If we take a
:24:59. > :25:02.dip into the future, we can characterise this week are seeing a
:25:03. > :25:03.fair amount of the cool, showery weather, but Saturday is looking an
:25:04. > :25:11.awful lot better. Then we return awful lot better. Then we rdturn
:25:12. > :25:14.next week to the changeable, cooler setup, but we have moderate
:25:15. > :25:16.confidence that the last week setup, but we have moderate

:25:36. > :25:41.days. A good deal of dry and right weather about. If you showers, and
:25:42. > :25:44.it will be a breezy day, but not as windy as it has been over the last
:25:45. > :25:48.couple of days. The radar shows how we have been running some showers,

:25:58. > :25:58.on and off into the first h`lf thunderstorms. Showers will continue
:25:59. > :26:03.on and off into the first half of the night. Gradually those winds
:26:04. > :26:10.will veer to a north`westerly direction. When we get the wind from
:26:11. > :26:13.this direction, it tends to offer us more shelter from the high ground. A
:26:14. > :26:20.good number of youths will `ctually be seeing a fair amount of dry
:26:21. > :26:25.weather today, against the westerly breeze coming from the Bristol
:26:26. > :26:28.Channel. Showers will reduce in intensity and dissolution as the
:26:29. > :26:31.evening wears on, but there could still be quite a few into North
:26:32. > :26:38.Somerset. By tomorrow morning, the winds are not as strong. Tolorrow
:26:39. > :26:43.winds are not as strong. Tomorrow morning, many areas. On a dry note.
:26:44. > :26:55.We will get a few showers into the far west of Somerset. A number of
