That's all from the BBC News at Six - on BBC One we now | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Hello I'm Sally Taylor, welcome to South Today. In tonight's programme: | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
Extreme and sickening violence ` police investigate the murder of a | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
newsagent kicked to death on his way to work. | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
"She died in the hands of those who were meant to care for her" ` the | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
parents of Elisha Langley criticises doctors who failed to diagnose an | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
abscess on her brain. I knew everything. Her expressions, the way | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
she was behaving, the look on her face. But no one was listening to | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
me. A familiar colour for Sir Ben, this | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
golden container signals a new age for Southampton Port. And we are | :00:37. | :00:49. | |
searching for dinosaurs on the Isle of Wight. | :00:50. | :01:03. | |
The level of violence was extreme and sickening, according to the | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
detective leading the investigation into the death of a man from | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
Eastleigh. 35`year`old Choudhry Zishan was attacked and killed on | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
his way to work in the early hours of yesterday morning. He was married | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
with a young child. Two men have been arrested and remain in custody. | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
Our reporter, James Ingham, is in Eastleigh this evening and joins us | :01:21. | :01:34. | |
now with the latest. Flowers and messages have been left | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
here all day by people who knew this man. There is a sense of sadness, | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
shock and anger in this part of Eastleigh. The man was killed so | :01:44. | :01:53. | |
close to where he lived and worked. Choudhry Zishan rant this newsagent | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
with his brother near Eastleigh town centre. Yesterday morning, he was | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
brutally attacked close to the store. Two men have been arrested | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
and they are being questioned this evening. The police are still keen | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
to speak to anyone who may have seen men behaving aggressively or | :02:14. | :02:21. | |
witnessed the attack. I believe it was a robbery. The | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
victim had just got up to go to work. He was attacked viciously by | :02:27. | :02:33. | |
these individuals. There may have been shouting that may have walk`in | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
people up and I am really keen for those people to contact us `` | :02:38. | :02:45. | |
walk`in people. Dozens of tributes for a much loved | :02:46. | :02:53. | |
man. It does make you sick. He was such a lovely man. My little boy | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
loved him to bits. He was that kind of guy. I was devastated when I | :02:58. | :03:06. | |
heard yesterday. This afternoon police put leaflets | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
through doors reassuring residents that this part of Eastleigh is | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
generally safe and that crime levels are falling ill stop in the last | :03:14. | :03:22. | |
hour, the scheme in the meeting was held. Choudhry Zishan was married | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
with a young child and they were a big part of this community. Police | :03:26. | :03:36. | |
are looking for a pair of shoes and a top that the attackers may have | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
discarded as they fled from the area. They are asking residents to | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
search in bins for what may be crucial evidence. They continued to | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
question two men in their 20s and they have until 10pm to charge them | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
or to apply to the court for further time. | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
"She died in the hands of those who were meant to care for her". The | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
words of the parents of Elisha Langley who died after doctors | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
failed to diagnose an abscess on her brain following a routine operation. | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
Elisha had learning disabilities and today a coroner with twenty years of | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
experience said he has rarely heard a case with quite such an emotive | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
case. Our reporter, Nikki Mitchell, spoke to Elisha's parents after the | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
inquest. Yesterday, Mother's Day, was spent | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
grieving for my daughter Elisha. Elisha died because they could not | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
understand her. She could not tell them that she had a headache and for | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
that reason, she died in the hands of those that we put our trust in. | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
In the weeks before her death Elisha Langley's parents told the hospital | :04:42. | :04:49. | |
she was in agony. She was biting her wrists and | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
leaving teeth marks and then putting her hands cupped up to her head and | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
holding her head. So, she was in a lot of pain. I made them aware of | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
this. But no one was listening to me. It was as if I was overreacting. | :05:01. | :05:09. | |
Hampshire Hospital's NHS trust offered is sincere condolences to | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
the family. It says it has implemented a number of changes | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
following the investigation into her care. | :05:18. | :05:28. | |
Those changes include the need for medical staff to consider early | :05:29. | :05:30. | |
diagnostic scans for patients with learning difficulties. Had Elisha | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
had a scan before her supposedly routine operation, a defect on her | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
skull would have been revealed and her case could have been reviewed. | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
Again, when Elisha was gravely ill in the weeks after her operation | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
here, an earlier CT scan would have revealed the brain abscess that | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
killed her. Perhaps in time to save her life. | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
What is really tragic about what the coroner said was that the failures | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
that he identified really echoed so strongly many of the cases Mencap | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
has experienced. He emphasised that listening to the family, acting | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
sooner to make that diagnosis, could have perhaps saved Elisha's life. | :05:59. | :06:09. | |
Today there is someone else in that situation. The people who love them | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
are talking to the medical professionals who are not listening. | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
Elisha Langley's Ashes have pride of place at home. She had a happy life | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
and her parents are desperate for a lesson to be learned from her death. | :06:27. | :06:37. | |
And you can find out more about that by going to the Mencap website, | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
www.mencap.org.uk, and looking for campaigns. | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
Last month more than 80 homes on a Basingstoke housing estate were | :06:45. | :06:46. | |
evacuated, when flood water mixed with raw sewage started to flow | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
through their streets. The local council has asked the government for | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
almost ?500,000 to help cover the clear`up costs. Joe Campbell has | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
been to see some of the residents returning to their homes. | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
The waters may have gone, but it will be many more months before life | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
can return to normal here. Skips dot the estate. | :07:04. | :07:13. | |
Inside the recently flooded home, the scale of the damage becomes | :07:14. | :07:29. | |
clear. This woman has returned to her sewage `damaged home. It is | :07:30. | :07:40. | |
heartbreaking. Everything you have worked for has gone. It is simple | :07:41. | :07:51. | |
things, like I used to have a "memory box" with all my children's | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
things in it ` they are all adults now ` like little cards that they | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
used to draw me when they were kids. These blood serum lasted for more | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
than a month, but it was the vulnerability of many residents that | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
made it so hard here. We had to install wet rooms in these temporary | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
accommodation to make sure they were suitable for the resident's needs. | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
As the sandbags wait to be collected, people are asking what | :08:20. | :08:31. | |
will happen if it happens again. It was previously not an area that we | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
were worried about, but in the future it will be on our radar. The | :08:35. | :08:41. | |
movers were today shifting what could be Jake three saved, but it | :08:42. | :08:48. | |
will be months before they can return. | :08:49. | :08:56. | |
It has taken six months, but work has finally re`started on the | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
multi`million pound hotel and media centre at Hampshire's Aegeas Bowl | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
cricket ground, on the outskirts of Southampton. Work came to an abrupt | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
halt when the developers, Denizen, went into administration in | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
September. Now a local company has ridden to the rescue, just in time | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
for the new cricket season. Bob Everett reports. | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
The hard hats were back on site at the Ageas Bowl today ` a welcome | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
return as far as Hampshire Cricket administrators were concerned. The | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
site doors were shut in the faces of shocked sub`contractors in October. | :09:22. | :09:23. | |
Since then, there's been intensive work to find a way of finishing this | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
175`bedroom showpiece. There has been a lot of work | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
behind`the`scenes to get this project back on track. We are | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
delighted to announce today that work has recommenced. It will be | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
finished by probably next spring, but crucially it will be within the | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
original budget. So it is good news all round and a good way to start | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
the season. The money to finish the job will be | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
provided, not by the Co`op Bank who provided the original finance, but | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
Omni Capital, a company specialising in short`term funding for property | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
development. The new contractor is Powell's, a local firm who have | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
worked here before on Hampshire's spectacular pavilion. The first job | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
will be to finish the media centre before this summer's showpiece Test | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
match. We have always agreed with the ECB that we would have ` | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
although we already have media facilities here and we have already | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
held a Test match with those facilities ` that for the India Test | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
match the new media centre would be up and running. | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
When it is finished, Eastleigh Borough Council will buy the | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
development for ?27 million and rent it back to Hampshire, who will run | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
it as a Hilton hotel. That won't now be until Spring next year ` but all | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
involved will probably agree, better late than never. Bob Everett, BBC | :10:36. | :10:47. | |
South Today. A murder investigation is continuing in Bournemouth after a | :10:48. | :10:55. | |
woman died over the weekend. Part of St Michael's Road in the town centre | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
was cordoned off yesterday afternoon. Officers were called to a | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
property where they found the woman. She was pronounced dead at the | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
scene. A man has been arrested. Still to come in this evening's | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
South Today: Bringing them up to date, a frightening new generation | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
of dinosaurs arrive on the Isle of Wight. A new container terminal has | :11:13. | :11:28. | |
been opened in Southampton. It is able to handle the largest container | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
ships. Our transport correspondent was there. | :11:35. | :11:43. | |
It has been a big day for the port. Here is one of the largest container | :11:44. | :11:53. | |
ships in the world. The sailor signalled the loading of the Golden | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
container in recognition of his Olympic medals. From the top of the | :11:59. | :12:05. | |
new cream, the scale of the project is clear. `` crane. This one that | :12:06. | :12:18. | |
carries 16 thousand boxes. To keep up with the global trend, the port | :12:19. | :12:25. | |
had to keep up. It is not just what you can see. To get these giant | :12:26. | :12:32. | |
ships into port, a 25 mile channel has been dredged to make it the poor | :12:33. | :12:42. | |
out past the Isle of Wight. We have some new cranes here, that are much | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
more technical and with controlled much more like an Xbox. | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
Nearly half of everything that sells on the high street passes through | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
here. It contributes ?1 million a year to the economy and it supports | :13:01. | :13:08. | |
1500 jobs. This is about British manufacturing and exports. | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
Southampton is one of Britain's major gateways. | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
The ship's Captain points out that Southampton had fallen behind the | :13:19. | :13:25. | |
rest of the world. Finally, we have facilities for the big vessels. We | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
have used ports like this in China and we are lucky to have one here in | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
Southampton now. This immense Southampton's position as Britain's | :13:36. | :13:54. | |
second busiest container port. We will have more in just if you | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
moments time. Now, laughter could well be the best | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
medicine ` if new research from Southampton University is to be | :14:04. | :14:05. | |
believed. Guidebooks containing funny cartoons were given to | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
patients with chronic kidney disease to inform them about their | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
condition. The trial found that the method could help people with | :14:12. | :14:13. | |
long`term diseases understand and cope better. | :14:14. | :14:23. | |
If you talk to people who have got long`term conditions, they use | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
humour a lot. It helps people to cope, it helps people to talk to | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
each other, and to understand. It is part of the human condition to use | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
humour a lot in any case, in lots of situations. So I think it is a | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
really good way of engaging people and getting people to think about | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
things from a slightly quirky and different angle. Southampton decided | :14:42. | :14:55. | |
today to publish the highlights of the last financial year. | :14:56. | :14:57. | |
Southampton's new board of directors say they have inherited a "difficult | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
financial situation" from their previous chairman, Nicola Cortese. | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
Financial figures from their first year back in the Premier League show | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
a net loss of just over ?7 million and the club is still to pay ?27 | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
million in transfer fees. The cost of a new training ground has also | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
doubled to ?30 million. Despite this, Saints say they are under no | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
pressure to sell star players and now have "clear and structured plans | :15:19. | :15:29. | |
in place to progress the club." What a win against Newcastle at the | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
weekend. They finally stored before half time. Jay Rodriguez finally put | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
Saints one`up after breaking the offside trap with Rickie Lambert. | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
Lambert himself grabbed a second just after half`time, before captain | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
Adam Lallana produced the game's stand`out moment with a stunning | :15:46. | :15:47. | |
25`yard strike. Rodriguez then completed the rout, making it four | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
and moving Saints up to eighth. Now time for a round up of our teams | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
in the Football League. Readings stay in the final draw in | :15:58. | :16:04. | |
the championship after this draw. Filed in the area, the penalty | :16:05. | :16:13. | |
converted. Reading's becoming a major concern, six matches without a | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
win. Leicester and Burnley are both due, so impressive away form could | :16:17. | :16:24. | |
be the key. Could Bournemouth join Reading in the play`offs? Top scorer | :16:25. | :16:32. | |
got another two goals, including a penalty, to take his total for the | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
season up to 19. Bournemouth are now four places behind Reading `` | :16:37. | :16:47. | |
Reading. They play Harry Redknapp's QPR earn it weekend. `` next | :16:48. | :16:56. | |
weekend. And on Late Kick Off tonight we'll | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
have behind the scenes footage from Pompey's win at Newport, including | :17:01. | :17:03. | |
inside the dressing room, where Andy Awford got his message across. A | :17:04. | :17:13. | |
penalty got things under way. Here it comes. The striker picked himself | :17:14. | :17:21. | |
up to score the goal. Newport's Adam Chapman was shown a straight red | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
card. A great goal coming up from Jed Wallace. A fine header doubling | :17:28. | :17:37. | |
Pompey's lead. Then Ismail Yakubu pulled a goal back for County. Big | :17:38. | :17:48. | |
result for us, big performances. Effort, commitment, desire. It would | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
not be Pompey if it was not close to the wire. | :17:55. | :18:02. | |
We will have behind`the`scenes footage from Pompey's win at | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
Newport. Including this from the dressing room. And Pompey Chairman | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
Ian McInnes will join me live on the sofa. So that's Late Kick Off, BBC | :18:12. | :18:18. | |
One, 11.25pm. Sholing are all`square with | :18:19. | :18:21. | |
Eastbourne after the first leg of their FA Vase semi final ended | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
two`all. The Boatmen went into the game as favourites and took an early | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
lead through an own`goal, before two Eastbourne goals looked to have put | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
the visitors on course for a surprise victory. In the 83rd | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
minute, Man of the Match Mike Carter pulled the Wessex League side level, | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
leaving the tie delicately poised. One team who've already played at | :18:42. | :18:43. | |
Wembley is Broadstone Middle School's Under 13's girls team! Here | :18:44. | :18:52. | |
they are yesterday, walking up the Wembley step, wearing Bournemouth | :18:53. | :18:58. | |
colours after they won the Football The's girls cup. It is a national | :18:59. | :19:05. | |
six aside competition that over 700 sides entered. Captain Molly Pike | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
scored the winner in a 1`0 victory over Thames Telford School in the | :19:11. | :19:12. | |
final. Brilliant memories for everyone to win at Wembley. | :19:13. | :19:14. | |
In basketballl, needing just one more win to retain their Division | :19:15. | :19:17. | |
One league title, Reading Rockets lost in the last three seconds to | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
Worthing Thunder. With the trophy seemingly on its way to Reading, | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
Thunder's American Terrell Bell rose high to take the rebound and score | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
off the glass to give his side the Victory. The Rockets now have to | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
beat Medway Park on Saturday to win the league. They will be hopeful of | :19:32. | :19:33. | |
doing that. Shall we stay with sport, because | :19:34. | :19:39. | |
one of our great sporting heroes... Last week Sir Ben Ainslie told us he | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
was planning to base his bid for the America's Cup here in the South. | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
The four time Olympic gold medallist won the oldest and most prestigious | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
prize in sailing last year as navigator onboard an American backed | :19:51. | :19:51. | |
boat. Earlier today I spoke to him as he | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
opened the new berth at Southampton's Container Terminal and | :19:56. | :19:58. | |
started by asking him how far his America's Cup plans had progressed. | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
We really want to be based on the south coast, that is where the | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
America's Cup started all those years ago in 1851, we have got a | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
short list of two or three final venues, sailing here from next year | :20:12. | :20:18. | |
which is really exciting. So you don't know where to be precisely? We | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
haven't made that final decision. We are waiting for more information. We | :20:24. | :20:31. | |
expected any day now. That decides the size of boat. Is it going to be | :20:32. | :20:38. | |
the same as last year? We have a pretty good idea of what the size of | :20:39. | :20:46. | |
boat will be. A see`72, flying around San Francisco Bay last time. | :20:47. | :20:53. | |
How about the funding? You spent the best part of a year doing it. ?80 | :20:54. | :21:00. | |
million, is that the budget? It is around that figure, a lot of money | :21:01. | :21:08. | |
to raise. It has been flat`out in trying to find investors. That is | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
where British teams have failed in the past, they haven't got the | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
finance. Yes. It is sailing's version of Formula one. I have got | :21:20. | :21:28. | |
this little memento for you. Thank you, how late were you out last | :21:29. | :21:35. | |
night baking that one? Enjoy. I don't know what it tasted like but | :21:36. | :21:38. | |
I'm sure it was very nice. We will hear more in the coming weeks from | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
Ben. Under the weather. Have you had your car covered in dust? Absolutely | :21:44. | :21:51. | |
smothered. My car is covered in dust, and it is | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
being blown really quickly over the Mediterranean and up to last. | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
Vanessa Pickett captured the dust on her car in Horndean in Hampshire. | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
Grahame Howard photographed a common teal in the sunshine in Weymouth | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
today. And Shaun Fisher took this photo in Stoner near | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
Henley`on`Thames. A pleasant day today, we saw one or | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
two showers pop`up, one or two thunderstorms could be this | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
evening. There is quite a lot of pollution in the air. One of those | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
things is the Saharan dust moving up from the south`east. Thunderstorms | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
are a possibility, but once they clear, the sky will clear in places | :22:32. | :22:39. | |
allowing mist and fog to form. Once these showers clear, the skies will | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
clear, allowing sea fog to develop. Temperatures falling to seven or | :22:45. | :22:51. | |
nine Celsius. You can see the wind is coming in from the south`east, | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
that may bring more dust up from the south`east. Sea fog may linger along | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
the south coast, clearing parts of Hampshire and East Sussex. It moves | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
westwards. Elsewhere, mist and fog should clear swiftly, sunny spells | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
developing. A lot of high cloud around, it will not be wall`to`wall | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
sunshine. Highs of 17 Celsius Inland, cooler along the coast with | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
that breeze. The breeze will stay with us over the course of the day | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
tomorrow. Tomorrow evening and overnight, there is the risk of one | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
or two showers. Becoming more frequent during the middle part of | :23:27. | :23:28. | |
the night tomorrow, temperatures falling to a very mild ten to 11 | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
Celsius. A dry start to the day on Wednesday, Wednesday may well be the | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
warmest day of the week. We are expecting highs of 18 Celsius | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
widely, in inland areas, along the coast, 16 Celsius. Elsewhere parts | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
of Surrey and Sussex Inland could see temperatures soar to around 20 | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
Celsius. A few rain showers for the western part of the country. It will | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
stay mainly dry for most people. There is a chance of those showers | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
later on in the evening and overnight. Rain will affect us on | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
Thursday, but by Friday we should see drier conditions. | :24:09. | :24:15. | |
Thank you. It's a holiday snapshot that thousands of us must have taken | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
over the last 42 years, sat on giant plastic dinosaurs at Blackgang Chine | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
on the Isle of Wight. They were lowered into place by | :24:23. | :24:25. | |
helicopter in 1972 as Dinosaur Land opened its doors. Back then the | :24:26. | :24:28. | |
static models were something to talk about but they're looking more dated | :24:29. | :24:31. | |
in today's modern technological age. And this weekend life`size | :24:32. | :24:34. | |
animatronics were brought to the park as it reopened for the holiday | :24:35. | :24:46. | |
season. Steve Humphrey reports. He has stuck out his scaly neck and | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
take another look. On the south coast of the Isle of | :24:52. | :24:54. | |
Wight are heard of dinosaurs has found a new home in a high security | :24:55. | :25:01. | |
enclosure at Blackgang Chine. I think they are bit scary. I think | :25:02. | :25:07. | |
they are really realistic, they are brilliant, one of them steered me on | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
the way down. Even the smaller ones are quite scary because they make | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
loads of noise. It is really fluid. It doesn't look like there are | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
mechanics inside it. These animatronic dinosaurs are a big | :25:24. | :25:26. | |
investment for the family that's been running this theme park since | :25:27. | :25:29. | |
1843, but the cost isn't being revealed. In the summer, 80 people | :25:30. | :25:36. | |
work here. People's expectations are continually evolving. We had to not | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
just keep race with that, we had to get ahead of that. To see the level | :25:42. | :25:48. | |
of investment, time and effort that has gone into this project, to see | :25:49. | :25:51. | |
the little ones running around and enjoying it, seeing the smiles on | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
their faces, that to us is the key. The Isle of Wight is no stranger to | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
dinosaur tourist attraction. Back in 1972, the first family of moderate | :26:02. | :26:08. | |
dinosaurs `` model dinosaurs were flown in live on Blue Peter. Lots of | :26:09. | :26:16. | |
visitors witnessed the event for decades ago. John Noakes took part | :26:17. | :26:23. | |
in the monster moving operation. It was impossible to see into the | :26:24. | :26:26. | |
valley where the monsters were being dropped. I could only see windswept | :26:27. | :26:29. | |
trees as they were carefully lowered into position. I must say, they | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
looked incredibly real sitting in there new home. It was a great day | :26:35. | :26:43. | |
for us. It was my first ever trip in a helicopter. Those original static | :26:44. | :26:51. | |
dinosaurs took `` developed quite a fan club. Many people remember | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
visiting them on trips to the Isle of Wight. Some of the original | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
dinosaurs remain in the new attraction, but those old static | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
models are now greatly outnumbered by their new animatronic cousins. | :27:04. | :27:15. | |
That is wonderful, isn't it? You can see Steve's report again and have a | :27:16. | :27:18. | |
look at some more of your pictures from Dinosaur Land on our Facebook | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
page. Always send in your photographs. Tomorrow, tonight? | :27:23. | :27:30. | |
There is a test on tomorrow. But tonight, Late Kick`off, Ian | :27:31. | :27:40. | |
McGuinness is going to be with us. Do join us for that. Good night. | :27:41. | :27:45. |
