:00:12. > :00:19.Good evening. Welcome to NorthWest Tonight with Gordon Burns here in
:00:19. > :00:21.the studio. The Manchester International
:00:21. > :00:24.Festival started yesterday with a Bjork bang, but it really gets
:00:24. > :00:27.going tonight with three more world premieres. Join me in Festival
:00:27. > :00:36.Square later. Also in the programme.
:00:36. > :00:38.Jailed. The woman who claimed her dead mother's pension, leaving her
:00:38. > :00:41.corpse to rot in the house. The hospital surgeons fighting to
:00:41. > :00:45.save a heart attack patient are told to ring 999.
:00:45. > :00:55.And serving us proud. Stockport's young tennis sensation Liam Broady
:00:55. > :00:59.
:00:59. > :01:09.powers into the Wimbledon boys' I was not expected to make it this
:01:09. > :01:09.
:01:09. > :01:17.Tonight we've got a little of what the doctor ordered to kick off your
:01:17. > :01:20.Friday night! The first up, Dr John Dee, the 16th century alchemist and
:01:20. > :01:22.adviser to Elizabeth I. Damon Albarn's new opera about him
:01:22. > :01:25.premieres tonight and we'll be speaking to Damon himself. For
:01:25. > :01:28.those younger at heart, we have the ultimate Dr Who experience and
:01:28. > :01:38.guess which very senior and serious journalist practically begged to
:01:38. > :01:40.
:01:40. > :01:43.First, tonight's top story. A Wirral woman who kept the corpse of
:01:43. > :01:47.her 95-year-old mother at home so she could claim her pension has
:01:47. > :01:50.been jailed for 11 months. Olive Maddock was left slumped behind a
:01:50. > :01:53.bedroom door at her home in Wallasey for up to six months after
:01:53. > :01:56.her death. Olive's granddaughter Jasmine, who admitted failing to
:01:56. > :02:04.bury her grandmother, was given a suspended jail term and community
:02:04. > :02:08.service. Gill Dummigan reports. On a pleasant residential street,
:02:08. > :02:11.this dilapidated home where three generations of women lived. 35-
:02:11. > :02:21.year-old Jasmine Maddock, her 61- year-old mother Hazel, and 95-year-
:02:21. > :02:25.
:02:25. > :02:30.old grandmother Olive. No car put on the floors, it smelt really bad.
:02:31. > :02:40.In the kitchen, she had a big square table in the middle of the
:02:40. > :02:46.kitchen. The food was just lying on it. It was filthy. It was a miss
:02:46. > :02:51.house that Olive died. We do not know exactly when because her body
:02:51. > :02:56.was left decomposing in the bedroom for at least two months. Her
:02:56. > :02:59.daughter continued to draw on her pension.
:02:59. > :03:02.It was Pauline King who called the police after a conversation with
:03:02. > :03:06.Hazel had left her worried about Olive. I could not believe it. How
:03:06. > :03:08.long could she have stayed there for?
:03:08. > :03:11.At a previous hearing at Liverpool Crown Court, Hazel Maddock, who's
:03:11. > :03:13.worked as an extra in Hollyoaks and Brookside, admitted fraudulently
:03:13. > :03:16.claiming �200 of pension and pension credit and unlawful
:03:16. > :03:21.prevention of burial. Her daughter Jasmine had admitted failing to
:03:21. > :03:25.bury her grandmother. The court heard how the relationships within
:03:25. > :03:30.the family had become dysfunctional. How Hazel felt dominated by her
:03:30. > :03:34.mother, and how Jasmine was unable to stand up to either. Today, as
:03:34. > :03:44.her mother began an 11 month jail sentence, Jasmine said all of them
:03:44. > :03:45.
:03:45. > :03:48.had suffered. We are all victims. She was given a 26 week suspended
:03:48. > :03:49.sentence and ordered to do 250 hours community service. Gill
:03:49. > :03:55.Dummigan, BBC North West Tonight, Liverpool
:03:55. > :03:58.It was not for a luxurious lifestyle.
:03:58. > :04:01.When a patient went into cardiac arrest on their operating table,
:04:01. > :04:04.the surgeons at Rochdale Infirmary wasted no time calling for back up
:04:04. > :04:07.from a specialist team. But they were told they would have to dial
:04:07. > :04:10.999 instead. The hospital no longer has a cardiac arrest team because
:04:10. > :04:19.it's been downgraded to an urgent care centre. Here's our Chief
:04:19. > :04:25.Reporter, Dave Guest. It was last Tuesday that a patient
:04:25. > :04:29.was undergoing an angioplasty here. It's a routine procedure. But he
:04:29. > :04:36.suffered a cardiac arrest. The surgeons called for the crash team
:04:36. > :04:43.and were told they'd have to ring 999. They eventually resuscitated
:04:43. > :04:49.him themselves. But how could it be that doctors in a hospital
:04:49. > :04:52.operating theatre were told to call 999 for back up? Well, as this
:04:52. > :04:54.internal memo, obtained by BBC Northwest Tonight explains, the
:04:54. > :05:01.crash team was withdrawn from Rochdale Infirmary on Monday, the
:05:01. > :05:06.day before the emergency. Rochdale's been downgraded from a
:05:06. > :05:16.general hospital to an urgent care centre. People who opposed that
:05:16. > :05:16.
:05:16. > :05:20.change say their fears have been confirmed. We know that it does not
:05:20. > :05:24.working. It will not work. The Pennine Acute Trust insist
:05:24. > :05:30.there were Advanced Life Savers on site who can assist in an emergency.
:05:30. > :05:36.Patients can then be transferred to other hospitals by calling 999.
:05:36. > :05:43.is still a hospital. There is still an outpatients department. There is
:05:43. > :05:46.still a heart unit. But we do not have any cardiac support.
:05:46. > :05:51.Dr Farrukh Zia worked his last shift at Rochdale after 10 years
:05:51. > :05:58.last night. He's worried about the reduced facilities on the site.
:05:58. > :06:08.has not been properly staffed. It is not a well thought plan. There
:06:08. > :06:09.
:06:09. > :06:19.is no back-up services to support doctors. The trust says the
:06:19. > :06:19.
:06:19. > :06:21.hospital is properly equipped for his current role.
:06:21. > :06:24.Liverpool Community College is being investigated by the police
:06:24. > :06:29.after a government report found it has been taking funds for students
:06:29. > :06:34.who shouldn't have been on courses. 18,000 students attend the college
:06:34. > :06:37.which has been fined �80,000 by the Skills Funding Agency. Well, Jayne
:06:37. > :06:45.Barrett is at the college in Liverpool City Centre. How did this
:06:45. > :06:47.all come to light? This came to light after a
:06:47. > :06:54.whistleblower contacted the college and the Skills Funding Agency with
:06:54. > :06:57.a number of concerns. The essence of those concerns was that the
:06:57. > :07:00.college was making money with fake students on the books and courses
:07:00. > :07:03.which never ran. Now, only some of those allegations were held up in
:07:03. > :07:06.this report. The first, that course funding had been duplicated. The
:07:06. > :07:09.college had been paid for students over two years when in fact they'd
:07:09. > :07:12.only been on a one year course. It also found that a number of
:07:12. > :07:22.employee references, needed to guarantee funding for students, had
:07:22. > :07:22.
:07:22. > :07:23.been faked, some of them by staff. Now, all of this relates to IT
:07:23. > :07:26.courses. One of the most unusual complaints,
:07:26. > :07:29.upheld here, is that the college received cash for students who were
:07:29. > :07:32.actually staff. In one case, funding for a student who was the
:07:32. > :07:35.tutor of the very course they were claiming funding for.
:07:35. > :07:37.The report also criticised the college for putting students on a
:07:37. > :07:39.summer school for a qualification which was very similar to a
:07:39. > :07:44.qualification they'd already achieved. It was simply unnecessary.
:07:44. > :07:47.�80,000 is the sum they've had to pay. I have spoken to the
:07:47. > :07:56.whistleblowers again today, and they say that they are not
:07:57. > :08:01.satisfied with this report. They say other allegations have not been
:08:01. > :08:05.investigated. A lot of paperwork was missing from this college. That
:08:05. > :08:11.is in this report and they have been fined from it. I put it to the
:08:11. > :08:18.principle that this all smacks of fraud. It is not fraud. Independent
:08:18. > :08:28.reports have appeared us of fraud and long -- have cleared us of
:08:28. > :08:28.
:08:28. > :08:38.fraud and any wrongdoing. They have been fined �80,000. We have been
:08:38. > :08:41.
:08:41. > :08:45.asked, we paid back fallen -- have fallen tally that money.
:08:45. > :08:49.absolutely nobody has received any disciplinary action over this at
:08:49. > :08:53.all. The colleges say that is because this is an administration
:08:53. > :09:03.error, not criminality. The whistleblowers are very unhappy
:09:03. > :09:04.
:09:04. > :09:06.about this. The report is now in the hand of Merseyside Police.
:09:06. > :09:10.Three company directors have been charged with manslaughter after the
:09:10. > :09:13.death of a man who fell through the roof of an industrial unit in
:09:13. > :09:16.Greater Manchester. Steven Barry, who was 45, died in the incident in
:09:16. > :09:18.2008. The three directors of Lion Steel Equipment Ltd, who have also
:09:18. > :09:22.been charged with Health and Safety offences, will appear before
:09:22. > :09:27.magistrates in August. The employment minister Chris
:09:27. > :09:30.Grayling was in Wirral today to open a new call centre. 500 jobs
:09:30. > :09:33.have been created at the Contact Company in Birkenhead, with the
:09:33. > :09:39.number hoped to rise to 1,000 within 18 months. Mr Grayling says
:09:39. > :09:44.it's crucial the private sector flourishes in the area. It is
:09:44. > :09:51.really important for the Wirral and for the whole of Merseyside that
:09:51. > :09:56.the EC growth in the private sector. That we see the emergence of a new
:09:56. > :09:59.generation of entrepreneurs. This is an area that was built on the
:09:59. > :10:02.backs of entrepreneurs. We have got to do that again.
:10:02. > :10:05.Liverpool's Everyman Theatre closes this weekend as the old building is
:10:06. > :10:12.knocked down to make way for a new one. The theatre's been on Hope
:10:12. > :10:14.Street since 1964, before that it was a chapel. A grande finale
:10:14. > :10:23.performance is taking place tomorrow night featuring Everyman
:10:23. > :10:27.actors of past and present. It will reopen in 2013.
:10:27. > :10:31.Last night, Bjork kicked off the Manchester International Festival.
:10:31. > :10:41.This weekend it really gets going. Ranvir and Eno are there to tell us
:10:41. > :10:42.
:10:42. > :10:51.all about it. It is a tough job. Last night I was at Bjork's
:10:51. > :10:55.Biophilia performance, all about her love of life and nature. People
:10:55. > :11:03.from 41 different countries book to come and see her last night. It
:11:03. > :11:05.shows that the international part of the first of. It was science
:11:05. > :11:08.meets technology meets music. There was David Attenborough's voice
:11:08. > :11:18.booming out introducing every track. She sang about Dark Matter, DNA,
:11:18. > :11:21.Volcanoes. She had an Icelandic girls choir and specially designed
:11:21. > :11:24.instruments like a 2 tonne harpsichord which took 5 years to
:11:24. > :11:34.build. She may not be everyone's cup of tea but she certainly didn't
:11:34. > :11:37.disappoint those who were there. And we have another premiere
:11:37. > :11:40.tonight as well. He's been described as the most
:11:40. > :11:43.famous unfamous Englishman that ever lived and is credited by some
:11:43. > :11:45.with the sinking of the Spanish Armada. John Dee lived in
:11:46. > :11:48.Manchester in Elizabethan times and he is the inspiration for Damon
:11:48. > :11:58.Albarn's new opera opening at the Manchester International Festival
:11:58. > :12:05.
:12:05. > :12:15.tonight. So just who was Dr Dee? Suave, sophisticated and but a
:12:15. > :12:18.
:12:19. > :12:28.licence to kill. Back in the mist 16 century, when England was at war
:12:29. > :12:34.
:12:34. > :12:39.with Spain, Dr John Dee was the first of to use it the codename 007.
:12:39. > :12:44.He was the ultimate Renaissance man in Elizabethan England. The
:12:44. > :12:54.cleverest guy around. Mathematician, scientist, astrologer. Very much at
:12:54. > :12:59.
:13:00. > :13:09.the heart of the Elizabethan and a It is a very English adventure that
:13:09. > :13:14.is being taken on. In the sense of our experience, we are interested
:13:14. > :13:20.in the history of our country. This is something that might be
:13:20. > :13:27.interesting. In later life, Dr John Dee fell out of favour and was
:13:27. > :13:33.exiled to Manchester. This grand room is now the Reading Room in the
:13:33. > :13:43.library. Between 1594 and 1609, when Dr John Dee was a warden here,
:13:43. > :13:48.this was his bedroom. He was a warden of the collegiate church. He
:13:48. > :13:57.did not like it. Manchester was cold miserable, the play came and
:13:57. > :14:04.killed his wife and children. -- plague. He might have hated it, but
:14:04. > :14:10.he is coming back to Manchester tonight. Back in the 16 hundreds
:14:10. > :14:20.when books were really expensive, one book could cost a year's wage,
:14:20. > :14:22.
:14:22. > :14:30.Dr John Dee owned a 4000 books. He collected books as I collect shoes.
:14:30. > :14:32.More on that later. And the weather forecast. Back to the studio now.
:14:32. > :14:38.The Furness peninsular echoes with Viking sounding names, Barrow,
:14:38. > :14:46.Yarlside, Ormsgill. But material proof that they actually lived
:14:46. > :14:48.there has been rare and hard to come by until now. A metal
:14:48. > :14:51.detectorist has unearthed the first significant horde of Viking
:14:51. > :14:58.treasure in the area. And the experts are suitably excited. Peter
:14:58. > :15:04.Marshall reports. The date from the dark Ages. Silver
:15:04. > :15:09.coins, a bracelet, from the 9th or 10th centuries. They were dug up in
:15:09. > :15:14.April. A find of immense significance for the Furness
:15:14. > :15:24.peninsula. I have been waiting for something like this for a very long
:15:24. > :15:24.
:15:24. > :15:30.time, to handle real biking coins myself. -- a Viking. Barrow has
:15:30. > :15:37.always attracted men with ports. There has always been the
:15:37. > :15:44.indication of a Viking presence. But when England was becoming a
:15:44. > :15:50.unified Anglo-Saxon country, what was happening in Barrow? Nobody
:15:50. > :15:54.really knew. These coins point to the fact that it was the Vikings
:15:54. > :15:59.who were here and still in control. There are coins commemorating
:16:00. > :16:05.Vikings like Eric Bloodaxe, Arabic coins suggesting trade far and wide.
:16:05. > :16:10.For now, the exact location of the finder remains a secret. The finder
:16:10. > :16:15.remains anonymous. But he is a lucky man. Within weeks of taking
:16:15. > :16:25.up the hobby, he has made the discovery of a lifetime. A Viking
:16:25. > :16:26.
:16:26. > :16:32.hoard is the jewel in the Crown. Fantastic. The Viking hoard will be
:16:32. > :16:36.returned to the British Museum for further investigation, but will be
:16:36. > :16:39.displayed permanently where it belongs.
:16:40. > :16:42.Well, Wimbledon has been the big sports story of the day and the
:16:43. > :16:50.reason why we're on late. Richard has tonight's sport and it's not
:16:50. > :16:54.just Andy Murray who's been flying the flag, is it?
:16:54. > :16:56.Yes, and it's one of our own who's also been thrilling packed crowds
:16:56. > :16:59.at SW19 today. Stockport's Liam Broady has continued his amazing
:16:59. > :17:06.run in the boys' singles and made it through to tomorrow's final
:17:06. > :17:09.after a straight sets win over Australia's Jason Kubler. Now, it's
:17:09. > :17:19.another Aussie, Luke Saville, who stands in the way of the 17-year-
:17:19. > :17:20.
:17:20. > :17:24.old and a first British win in the event since 1962.
:17:24. > :17:27.Liam Broady is through to the final!
:17:27. > :17:30.It's a moment he'll never forget. But it's one he's already putting
:17:30. > :17:33.to the back of his mind. Not satisfied with getting to the final,
:17:33. > :17:37.Stockport's rising star now has his sights set on lifting the title.
:17:37. > :17:43.was not expected to make it this far anywhere. I think the first
:17:43. > :17:46.Brighton in the -- Britain and the finals.
:17:46. > :17:51.The 17 year old, already a junior doubles winner, once again
:17:51. > :17:54.displayed the nerve of a champion. And the technique that's seen him
:17:55. > :18:03.win 11 matches in a row on grass. Including a tournament just before
:18:03. > :18:13.Wimbledon. Feeling a little bit tired, but is nothing out of the
:18:13. > :18:14.
:18:14. > :18:21.ordinary. I have other massage already. He shows a lot of guts for
:18:21. > :18:26.a young child. He likes to challenge and compete. With the
:18:26. > :18:32.home crowd now expected, the pressure will be on in the final.
:18:32. > :18:36.But if his performances so for am the to go by, he is a no man who
:18:36. > :18:40.pressure -- who thrives on it. The pressure is now on the 17 year
:18:40. > :18:43.old. But if his performances so far are anything to go by, he's a young
:18:43. > :18:46.man who thrives on it. All four of our Super League sides
:18:46. > :18:48.are in action this evening. Leaders Warrington are at 7th placed
:18:48. > :18:51.Castleford, Wigan host Leeds while it's Saints-Hull and Salford-
:18:51. > :18:53.Harlequins. Keep up to date with all the games on BBC radios
:18:53. > :18:57.Manchester and Merseyside. It might be the height of summer,
:18:57. > :19:00.but pre-season training is already well underway at Sale Sharks. The
:19:00. > :19:03.club has undergone huge changes in the off season, losing star names
:19:03. > :19:13.like Charlie Hodgson, but bringing in 16 new players including Wales
:19:13. > :19:13.
:19:13. > :19:18.number eight Andy Powell. It is like being part of a new nightclub.
:19:18. > :19:23.Off the field as well, with his staff. Kitchen staff everything. It
:19:23. > :19:26.is a completely different set up. Everybody is excited.
:19:26. > :19:29.He might already have 15 stage wins, but it's a much bigger prize
:19:29. > :19:34.Manxman Mark Cavendish will be chasing when the Tour de France
:19:34. > :19:40.gets underway tomorrow. He'll take on the 2,000 miles aiming for the
:19:40. > :19:47.sprint champion's green jersey. And as Sarah Mulkerrins reports, he'll
:19:47. > :19:51.be cheered on from the Island by a host of friends and fans. Mark
:19:51. > :19:57.Cavendish is better known for sprinting prowess. But it all
:19:57. > :20:02.started on the Isle of Man on a mountain bike. We used to have a
:20:02. > :20:11.junior league. I remember watching them on many occasions at the sport
:20:11. > :20:21.centre. you could see there was something very special about this
:20:21. > :20:24.
:20:25. > :20:33.boy. He used to give me advice. I used to not my head like that, and
:20:33. > :20:37.he told me to keep its -- keep it still. These are the roads that
:20:37. > :20:42.Mark cycled on as a youngster and they are providing inspiration for
:20:42. > :20:48.a new my generation of young riders. Seeing the terrain that this rich
:20:48. > :20:56.terrain can produce has encouraged more riders to get involved in the
:20:56. > :21:05.sport. It gives young children at the inspiration to continue and to
:21:05. > :21:13.carry on and perhaps one day becoming Tour de France riders.
:21:13. > :21:19.Matthew is hoping to emulate his idle. My dad has brought a new
:21:20. > :21:24.television to watch it. You can bet there will be plenty of televisions
:21:24. > :21:26.tuned and as well. A bit of cricket. Revenge for
:21:27. > :21:36.Lancashire after their defeat at the hands of Durham earlier this
:21:37. > :21:44.
:21:45. > :21:47.Well done to them. You might think the Manchester
:21:47. > :21:53.International Festival is all about culture for adults, but there's one
:21:53. > :21:57.very high profile show that's aimed at children. Let's return to Ranvir
:21:57. > :22:00.who can tell us more. Yes, believe it or not, it's
:22:00. > :22:06.actually a theatrical production of Dr Who, created by the company
:22:06. > :22:13.Punchdrunk. Dr Who writers have created the story, and walk-through
:22:13. > :22:15.sets have been built at Media City in Salford. Now our Political
:22:15. > :22:20.editor Arif Ansari normally deals with slightly more serious stuff
:22:20. > :22:23.for us but he's also a big Dr Who fan and begged to be allowed to do
:22:23. > :22:33.this. So sonic screwdriver at the ready, he ventured onto the set of
:22:33. > :22:35.
:22:35. > :22:38.Maybe there's been a rip in the space time continuum or something,
:22:38. > :22:43.but a little bit of Salford's been transformed into an alien world.
:22:43. > :22:49.And some young companions have been drafted in to save the universe.
:22:49. > :22:57.Will it be too scary for me to go round? Law. If you are a wimp, then
:22:57. > :22:59.yes. I am. Then you will not be able to do it.
:22:59. > :23:02.Even so, I decided to take my chances.
:23:02. > :23:11.The theatre company Punchdrunk has teamed up with the BBC and created
:23:11. > :23:17.The Crash of the Elysium. You start running and you do not stop. It is
:23:17. > :23:24.exhilarating. Effort making television was as much fun as this,
:23:24. > :23:34.it would be brilliant. The children will never forget it. It's like
:23:34. > :23:41.
:23:41. > :23:46.being in Dr Who and real life. it's the TARDIS. It is amazing to
:23:46. > :23:50.see the kids are completely lost and the moment. They are captivated
:23:50. > :24:00.by saving the world and rescuing the doctor. Would you ever do
:24:00. > :24:02.
:24:02. > :24:06.anything as fun as this in your career again? I doubt it. The
:24:06. > :24:08.show's aimed at 6 to 12 year olds and there are no sofas to hide
:24:08. > :24:11.behind. Somewhere between Salford and outer space.
:24:11. > :24:15.Arif's not been seen since but if you want to take your chances, the
:24:15. > :24:23.show officially opens tomorrow. And for those of you who refuse to grow

:24:35. > :24:40.My feet are frozen! Today has been a fairly cold and cloudy day. But
:24:40. > :24:50.it has been an improving picture. Tomorrow, I think we are likely to
:24:50. > :24:51.
:24:51. > :24:58.see temperatures as high as 20 Celsius. It will improve as we head
:24:58. > :25:03.into July. For the weekend, we could see 23 on Sunday, 25 on
:25:03. > :25:11.Monday. It is all because an area of high pressure building over the
:25:11. > :25:16.weekend. It will not be wall-to- wall sunshine, but it will be
:25:16. > :25:21.warmer. The high pressure will keep things settled, but we have a lot
:25:21. > :25:27.of cloud in there as well. Tonight, lots of clear skies out here at the
:25:27. > :25:34.moment. Lots of blue sky. Because of the blue sky, it will be a
:25:34. > :25:39.chilly night. We are likely to see temperatures dropping as low as
:25:39. > :25:44.five Celsius. For the start of your weekend, tomorrow morning, it will
:25:44. > :25:47.be a chilly start, but a dry and bright. As we head into the
:25:47. > :25:53.afternoon, it will start to cloud over. Really see some bright spells
:25:53. > :25:59.breaking him between the cloud cover. Highs of 20 Celsius for
:25:59. > :26:09.tomorrow. As we head into Sunday, much warmer. We could see highs of
:26:09. > :26:10.
:26:10. > :26:17.23 Celsius. Not looking bad at all. You can put your shoes back on. We
:26:17. > :26:20.will be covering of a whole festival on Radio Manchester.
:26:20. > :26:23.And on BBC Radio Manchester tonight, you can hear Sam Walker talking to
:26:23. > :26:30.Crash of the Elysium and Dr Who writer Tom MacCrae. And you can
:26:30. > :26:38.follow the festival on our online site bbc.co.uk/manchester.
:26:38. > :26:41.The by. -- a good buy. Back in the 1970s, the Earl of
:26:41. > :26:44.Derby had a few hundred acres of spare land on his estate near
:26:44. > :26:47.Liverpool. A group of businessmen suggested he turn it into a new
:26:47. > :26:50.type of zoo designed to mimic the big game reserves of East Africa.
:26:50. > :26:53.And so was born Knowsley Safari Park. Well, this weekend, it's
:26:53. > :26:57.exactly 40 years since it opened its gate for the first time. Our
:26:57. > :27:04.Merseyside reporter, Andy Gill, has been to see how they're celebrating.
:27:04. > :27:13.Feeding time at Knowsley Safari Park. The tigers weren't here in
:27:13. > :27:16.1971. But they're a big attraction now. We are trying to replicate
:27:16. > :27:24.some of the actions they would do in the wild. They have to wrestle
:27:24. > :27:27.their food source and bring it down. But the general manager was here 40
:27:27. > :27:29.years ago. David Ross spent months in Uganda helping to catch
:27:29. > :27:39.Knowsley's first elephants. He says no-one expected the level interest
:27:39. > :27:50.
:27:51. > :27:57.on opening day. 30 or 40,000 people got them. It was total chaos.
:27:57. > :28:01.was based on an year way of showing animals where the people were in
:28:01. > :28:05.cages and the animals were free. Back then there were some concerns
:28:05. > :28:07.about putting wild animals so close to a big city. These days, Knowsley
:28:07. > :28:16.prides itself on its breeding programmes. Rhinos and lions are
:28:16. > :28:19.among the successes. You build up a relationship with them. They get to
:28:19. > :28:22.know individual behaviour as they get to know our style of management
