0:00:00 > 0:00:02That's all from the BBC News at Six.
0:00:02 > 0:00:03Welcome to Spotlight.
0:00:03 > 0:00:06Tonight, a 12-year-old victim of online grooming speaks out
0:00:06 > 0:00:14to help protect others.
0:00:14 > 0:00:20I felt scared and I slipped it. He put me under pressure and he got
0:00:20 > 0:00:24angry and aggressive. -- and isolated.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27We'll hear the devastating impact it had on her and her family
0:00:27 > 0:00:28and talk to the NSPCC.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Also in the programme tonight - will a huge hotel scheme
0:00:30 > 0:00:33be ready in time for Plymouth's Mayflower celebrations?
0:00:33 > 0:00:35The ambitious plans for Drake's Island may not be
0:00:35 > 0:00:38finished in three years' time but as you'll see later
0:00:38 > 0:00:39developers aren't worried.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Nowhere to go until the New Year - why the closure of Torbay's toilets
0:00:42 > 0:00:44for people with disabilities is forcing some women
0:00:44 > 0:00:49to take drastic action.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52We'll go to the gents but I think that toilets here should be open.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Ladies need them more than men and I think
0:00:55 > 0:00:56it's absolutely disgusting.
0:00:56 > 0:00:57And the maiden voyage -
0:00:57 > 0:00:59the students making waves with the boats they've taken
0:00:59 > 0:01:09eight months to build.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22A 12-year-old Devon girl has spoken out over the dangers of online
0:01:22 > 0:01:25grooming after she was blackmailed into sending intimate
0:01:25 > 0:01:27pictures over the internet.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Her parents say the experience has been devastating
0:01:29 > 0:01:32and want to speak out to help protect other young people.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36In a moment we'll ask the NSPCC charity about the scale of these
0:01:36 > 0:01:39incidents and how to help children deal with online abuse.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43First this report from Clare Casson.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Just a few stolen moments on the daily walk to school.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50No parents, no teachers, but do you know who your child
0:01:51 > 0:01:53is contacting on their phone?
0:01:53 > 0:01:57For this 12-year-old, a few minutes on her own each day
0:01:57 > 0:02:01opened up a murky world of sexual exploitation.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04He began talking to me so I befriended him, not knowing
0:02:04 > 0:02:06what was about to happen.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10I felt scared and like I couldn't talk to anyone.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13This person then showed her some explicit images of other young girls
0:02:13 > 0:02:17and told her if she didn't do what they asked, they would spread
0:02:17 > 0:02:19it amongst friends and family, tell the world that
0:02:19 > 0:02:23these images were her.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27After I sent one picture, I knew that I was trapped.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30I felt scared and isolated.
0:02:30 > 0:02:35He put me under pressure and he got angry and aggressive.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38It breaks my heart that there was about three or four months
0:02:38 > 0:02:41that I didn't know about, she had been held prisoner.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45It must've been soul destroying for her to feel so trapped.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48And this girl is not alone.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Across Devon and Cornwall, sexting, as it is known, is now the most
0:02:51 > 0:02:55common form of child sexual exploitation the police deal with.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Officers go into schools to try to help educate young people
0:02:58 > 0:03:02about the dangers but they've told me it's a struggle to keep up
0:03:02 > 0:03:05with what's happening and the average age of victims
0:03:05 > 0:03:07is getting younger.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12We are certainly seeing either a greater disclosure of incidents
0:03:12 > 0:03:17with younger children or a greater number of younger children doing it.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19About ten years ago it would be pretty unheard-of
0:03:19 > 0:03:23that we would visit a primary school and they would be talking
0:03:23 > 0:03:26about dealing with this sort of an event - now we do deal
0:03:26 > 0:03:27with them increasingly.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31And many children don't realise that it's illegal to possess,
0:03:31 > 0:03:35take or distribute sexual images of someone under 18,
0:03:35 > 0:03:41including themselves.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44This family just want to make other young people are aware of the
0:03:44 > 0:03:50dangers.Having your daughter feels so scared and worried that there is
0:03:50 > 0:03:54no way out other than to do something stranger told her to do
0:03:54 > 0:03:59was scary and you hear stories of people self harming or committing
0:03:59 > 0:04:04suicide. We could have easily found ourselves in a situation where she
0:04:04 > 0:04:09felt she had no way out, but I'm glad she was able to get the courage
0:04:09 > 0:04:17to speak to us about it.Michelle Currier is from the NSPCC. We have
0:04:17 > 0:04:21reported on this issue before and there have been campaigns about it
0:04:21 > 0:04:25but it still seems to be getting worse. What needs to happen to
0:04:25 > 0:04:32tackle this?I think the most important thing is that parents have
0:04:32 > 0:04:38an open dialogue with their children from a young age, for them to bring
0:04:38 > 0:04:43it into their conversation so that the child knows they can go to their
0:04:43 > 0:04:48parents and talk about anything that might be happening online.What is
0:04:48 > 0:04:53the right age to do that? As we heard there, victims are getting
0:04:53 > 0:04:59younger and younger.As soon as your child is accessing any kind of
0:04:59 > 0:05:03online device, do have those age-appropriate conversations so
0:05:03 > 0:05:09they know they can talk to their parents about these things.How do
0:05:09 > 0:05:13you sit down and tell them in a way that isn't going to frighten them
0:05:13 > 0:05:19but will get the message across? It's about how parents talk to their
0:05:19 > 0:05:22children about the physical world and how they would talk to them
0:05:22 > 0:05:27about dangers in a physical sense, it's doing is that about the online
0:05:27 > 0:05:31world in a way not to scare them but make them aware of the dangers, of
0:05:31 > 0:05:35the fact that you cannot always be sure who you're talking to online
0:05:35 > 0:05:41and to make sure they know they have to be careful who they are making
0:05:41 > 0:05:47friends with and talking to online. We heard the father says he was
0:05:47 > 0:05:50horrified and heartbroken that his daughter was suffering this for
0:05:50 > 0:05:54three or four months. What are the signs to look out for four apparent
0:05:54 > 0:05:59to know their child may be going through something similar?If they
0:05:59 > 0:06:05see a change of behaviour, there are more withdrawn, keep aware of when
0:06:05 > 0:06:08they are using their devices and there is a lot of information out
0:06:08 > 0:06:16there now and parents can access information. There is an NSPCC site
0:06:16 > 0:06:22called Net Where which describes the different sort of social networking
0:06:22 > 0:06:26sites that young people are using and gives advice about networking
0:06:26 > 0:06:31settings on computers and how to filter what young people access.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Thank you for joining us.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Next tonight, the disturbing story of a 96-year-old man who's been
0:06:35 > 0:06:38attacked with what's thought to be a claw hammer by a burglar
0:06:38 > 0:06:39at his home in Taunton.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41He's now in hospital with serious injuries.
0:06:41 > 0:06:51Lee Madden reports.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55When Tom opened the door, Jim said, I've been attacked, and that was how
0:06:55 > 0:07:01it started.He was bleeding all over his face, we brought him in and
0:07:01 > 0:07:07Saturn in the chair.You said he had been knocked on the head with a
0:07:07 > 0:07:15hammer.He came in here for us to file for an ambulance.Police say a
0:07:15 > 0:07:20man knocked at the store yesterday between 4pm and 5pm and asked if he
0:07:20 > 0:07:26wanted any work doing in the house. When Mr booth refused, the man
0:07:26 > 0:07:32attacked him with a hammer.Jim's son came down last night, he was at
0:07:32 > 0:07:38the hospital and he said he has a fractured skull and he was with the
0:07:38 > 0:07:43doctor for a fair while and something about his hand, he had a
0:07:43 > 0:07:49problem because he had a bash on his hand.Mr booth is one of the last
0:07:49 > 0:07:54surviving heroes of World War II, serving as a lieutenant commander in
0:07:54 > 0:07:59the Navy and playing a crucial role in the D-Day landings. His latest
0:07:59 > 0:08:06battle has seen him take on the man police are trying to find.A male
0:08:06 > 0:08:11around 30 or 35, clean-shaven, darkish hair, described as athletic,
0:08:11 > 0:08:17stocky build, no real accent was noted and no height was given, and
0:08:17 > 0:08:23he was wearing jeans and dark clothing.Mr booth has been well
0:08:23 > 0:08:28known to the BBC. He featured on Points West two years ago when he
0:08:28 > 0:08:32danced with the Duchess of Cornwall, saying he was delighted to have
0:08:32 > 0:08:37stolen a dance with her. Tonight forensic teams are still working at
0:08:37 > 0:08:41his house, looking for clues about his attacker.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Some more stories from around the South West now.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46A shop worker in Tiverton has chased off a robber armed with a knife
0:08:46 > 0:08:48by giving him a taste of his own medicine.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Lorraine McCalliskey picked up a packing knife
0:08:50 > 0:08:52and charged at the man, who ran off empty handed.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Pictures have only just emerged of the incident,
0:08:54 > 0:08:55which happened two weeks ago.
0:08:55 > 0:09:00The would-be robber had a Liverpudlian accent.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02A 31-year-old prisoner has been found dead in Exeter jail -
0:09:02 > 0:09:05the second inmate to die there in the last month.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07The Prison Service says there will be an independent
0:09:07 > 0:09:08investigation by the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman
0:09:08 > 0:09:11into what happened.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13The new Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson has
0:09:13 > 0:09:17been at Devonport today.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20He's been in private talks with senior Navy officials over
0:09:20 > 0:09:22the future of the amphibious ships HMS Bulwark and HMS Albion.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24There are fears both ships will be axed, along
0:09:24 > 0:09:26with 1000 Royal Marines.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30The MoD has dismissed the reports as "pure speculation."
0:09:30 > 0:09:33There's anger about plans by the French company EDF to change
0:09:33 > 0:09:36the way it handles high level radioactive waste at the Hinkley
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Point reactors in Somerset.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41The company wants to double the size of a proposed waste store
0:09:41 > 0:09:43on the Hinkley C site.
0:09:43 > 0:09:49It also wants to introduce a system of encasing the waste in concrete.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Exeter Chiefs' forward Sam Simmonds is set to make his first England
0:09:52 > 0:09:57start against Samoa on Saturday.
0:09:57 > 0:09:58The 23-year-old number eight from Teignmouth was named
0:09:58 > 0:10:02in the starting line-up alongside team mate Henry Slade with another
0:10:02 > 0:10:08Chief, Harry Williams, on the bench.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11A Devon woman who uses a wheelchair has described the lack of a public
0:10:11 > 0:10:14toilet for disabled people in Torquay town centre
0:10:14 > 0:10:16as "disgusting."
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Both the women's toilet block and the one for disabled people have
0:10:19 > 0:10:22been closed for the last 11 weeks - and they won't re-open
0:10:22 > 0:10:23before Christmas.
0:10:23 > 0:10:31John Ayres has the story.
0:10:31 > 0:10:38This it's not often that you see this, the gents opened
0:10:38 > 0:10:41but the ladies and the disabled toilets are closed, and it's been
0:10:41 > 0:10:47like this for 11 weeks.
0:10:47 > 0:10:48For wheelchair user surely, enough is enough.
0:10:48 > 0:10:53It's diabolical to think that you can come into town
0:10:53 > 0:10:55to spend your money but while you're here you can't
0:10:55 > 0:10:58use the public toilet. It's not a luxury, it's a necessity.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01You come into town to shop, you're bound to need to use
0:11:01 > 0:11:04the toilet and I'm sorry but it will put a lot of people coming
0:11:04 > 0:11:05to the town centre shopping.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08It's a feeling shared by others with mobility assistance.
0:11:08 > 0:11:14Joan is a tourist from Wales.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18I will go to the gents but I think the toilets here should be open.
0:11:18 > 0:11:19Ladies need them more than men.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Men can stand there and go in the corner
0:11:21 > 0:11:23and I think it's disgusting.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25And she did, along with some other woman.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27The nearest alternative is some way away and the closest aren't private
0:11:27 > 0:11:30The nearest alternative is some way away and the closest are on private
0:11:31 > 0:11:32premises, not public.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34The nearest public loos are at least twice the distance.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36I have to go in the lift, providing it's working,
0:11:36 > 0:11:39up through the shop, past all the other shops along
0:11:39 > 0:11:41the walkway to the bottom, turn right, turn left and you'll
0:11:41 > 0:11:45find another door that has the toilets there.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49They should get up and do something, come out onto the highway and see
0:11:49 > 0:11:53what's going on for themselves and do something
0:11:53 > 0:11:56instead of doing nothing.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58The toilets had been closed because of a water leak
0:11:58 > 0:11:59above and an electrical fault.
0:11:59 > 0:12:04The delay is because the council doesn't own the building.
0:12:04 > 0:12:09I understand the concerns of all the residents and traders,
0:12:09 > 0:12:12these toilets have been out of action for so long
0:12:12 > 0:12:14because we haven't got permission from the landowner
0:12:14 > 0:12:18above the property, we now have that permission and it's
0:12:18 > 0:12:20being dealt with as a priority.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24The council hopes this will be sorted in the next nine weeks
0:12:24 > 0:12:26although for many women and people with disabilities,
0:12:26 > 0:12:34that's still a very long time.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36One of Devon's most ambitious-ever hotel schemes may not be ready
0:12:36 > 0:12:37for Plymouth's big moment.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41Mayflower 400 is in three years' time but the people behind a plan
0:12:41 > 0:12:46for Drake's Island say their vision may take longer than that.
0:12:46 > 0:12:52It's the latest chapter in the long history of the Island.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Drake's Island - or St Nicholas' Isle - sits
0:12:55 > 0:12:58in Plymouth Sound and was first fortified in the mid 16th century.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00It's named of course after Sir Francis Drake,
0:13:00 > 0:13:02who used Plymouth as his home port.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04By the time Drake was defeating the Spanish Armada, the island that
0:13:04 > 0:13:06bore his name was heavily armed and manned.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08It remained a fortification for nearly 400 years
0:13:08 > 0:13:12until after World War Two.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15By the 1960s the War Office left it to Plymouth Council,
0:13:15 > 0:13:17who eventually opened a youth adventure centre.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20But in the 1990s the island was up for sale - and it was bought
0:13:20 > 0:13:2322 years ago by Dan McAuley, a former chairman of
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Plymouth Argyle, who announced plans to build a hotel.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28In April this year, after more than two decades of legal
0:13:28 > 0:13:31wrangles and negotiations, Plymouth councillors finally gave
0:13:31 > 0:13:34the ambitious project planning permission.
0:13:34 > 0:13:35With this update, here's our business
0:13:35 > 0:13:39correspondent Neil Gallacher.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Across the choppy water today, Drake's Island looked a little less
0:13:42 > 0:13:45accessible than usual.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49And the much vaunted hotel due to be built here is probably further off
0:13:49 > 0:13:51than some had thought.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53The island owners gave more details today of their vision,
0:13:53 > 0:13:57which now has planning consent.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Some sort of limited public access to the island could be provided
0:14:00 > 0:14:04in the year ahead but unlike some hotels planned in Plymouth,
0:14:04 > 0:14:08this one looks unlikely to be open for Mayflower 400.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11That's too much to ask for but with the phasing
0:14:11 > 0:14:16there could be some facilities available for 2020.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Drake's Island is unique and it's not going to be dependent
0:14:19 > 0:14:23on a particular celebration or event, it will have longevity
0:14:23 > 0:14:28with what we're trying to create.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30The people behind this are Dan McAuley's Rotolok Holdings,
0:14:31 > 0:14:32former owners of Plymouth Argyle.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Today it became clear they had been persuaded to start looking
0:14:35 > 0:14:38for a commercial partner from the world of top-flight hotels
0:14:38 > 0:14:42to help make their vision a reality.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44It's a massive investment for the client to be putting in
0:14:44 > 0:14:48onto Drake's Island, its many millions of pounds and it
0:14:48 > 0:14:50wants to be there for the future.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52It's not something that becomes a white elephant
0:14:52 > 0:14:55for the city or for the island.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Development costs shot up last year and haven't come down,
0:14:58 > 0:15:01and the kind of economic forecast unveiled by the Chancellor yesterday
0:15:01 > 0:15:05is pretty challenging, but the people who own
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Drake's Island are still saying it's not whether
0:15:07 > 0:15:14they build a hotel there - it's how and when.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Later, the moment of truth for students who've been learning
0:15:26 > 0:15:30the art of boat building.
0:15:30 > 0:15:36And join me later to find out more about Exeter's hidden treasure, the
0:15:36 > 0:15:40Bill Douglas Cinema Museum, and find out why they have a special reason
0:15:40 > 0:15:41to celebrate.
0:15:41 > 0:15:47With funding being tight
0:15:47 > 0:15:50in all areas of public life at the moment, the arts often finds
0:15:50 > 0:15:52itself at the bottom of the priority list.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54But while some venues have closed, performers in Ashburton have opened
0:15:54 > 0:15:57a new arts centre in the heart of the town.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59They raised £180,000 to buy a Grade II listed
0:15:59 > 0:16:01former Methodist Church.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Our arts reporter Emma Ruminski has been finding out why
0:16:03 > 0:16:05they think they can succeed where others have failed.

0:16:11 > 0:16:14Finally they've got something to sing about.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17This is why the campaigners behind Ashburton Arts think they can run
0:16:17 > 0:16:20a successful arts centre - public support.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24People and local businesses donated and loaned the organisation money
0:16:24 > 0:16:29to purchase this old Methodist church and give it a new purpose.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33Live music and drama is suffering in our schools
0:16:33 > 0:16:38and for the community at large, and to have that space that can
0:16:38 > 0:16:44provide that right in the centre of what is a very active artistic
0:16:44 > 0:16:49community here was just too good not to try and make happen.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53It's been a while since Ashburton had a performance space.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55The theatre run by an amateur dramatic society,
0:16:55 > 0:16:59the Buckfast Players, shut its doors in the '60s.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03It was run on a shoestring to some extent.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06It was lit by a car battery.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Now that sounds a bit weird.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Somewhere we have some photos showing these various horrific
0:17:12 > 0:17:17and electrical things that they had, which could have blown anything up
0:17:17 > 0:17:24within five minutes, but it worked.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26But the new arts centre has to meet modern fire
0:17:26 > 0:17:29regulations if it's to get a public entertainment licence.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Once that's achieved, the main hall will largely remain
0:17:31 > 0:17:34the same but the entrance will be redeveloped to allow
0:17:34 > 0:17:38everything from live music to films to be shown here.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40We're right on the A38 corridor between Exeter and Plymouth
0:17:40 > 0:17:47and the Moor and Torbay are all very close to us, so I hope that that's
0:17:47 > 0:17:50in our favour and that will help us to succeed where some
0:17:50 > 0:17:52other places haven't.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Before the auction, developers were chasing this building
0:17:54 > 0:17:56to turn it into flats.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Affordable housing is needed in this area, so why was the art
0:17:59 > 0:18:01centre bid successful?
0:18:01 > 0:18:06To convert it to residential would be difficult and expensive.
0:18:06 > 0:18:11If you look at the reasons for it being here, the community use
0:18:11 > 0:18:14supports that and there are other developments coming
0:18:14 > 0:18:18through in Ashburton which are better suited to housing.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21We have schemes coming forward through the local planning reviews
0:18:21 > 0:18:25that look to provide that for the town.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Small groups are already using the space but it's hoped
0:18:27 > 0:18:30the venue will be fully open with a full programme
0:18:30 > 0:18:36of events from next May.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Crowds lined the harbour at Lyme Regis today to watch
0:18:38 > 0:18:41an event which would test the nerves of even the most
0:18:41 > 0:18:43experienced boat builder.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45For the past 38 weeks, students with little or no
0:18:45 > 0:18:48previous experience have built their own boats.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52And today was the day they found out if their design would float.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56Our Dorset reporter Anna Varle went along to watch.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01It's all hands on deck.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04The students have just 30 minutes until their boats enter
0:19:04 > 0:19:07the water for the first time.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Tensions are high.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11I'm a little bit nervous because we have made something
0:19:11 > 0:19:16which is very beautiful but I haven't sailed much before,
0:19:16 > 0:19:18I've done some work on water.
0:19:18 > 0:19:25How are you feeling?
0:19:25 > 0:19:26Pleased, confident, she looks beautiful.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28I think we've got everything right.
0:19:28 > 0:19:34I'm a little tentative, I might say, just because I built it and I'm not
0:19:34 > 0:19:38famous for good engineering.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42We're going to take the boats one by one down to the Cob
0:19:42 > 0:19:48and we will be launching them, we will not be putting the sails up
0:19:48 > 0:19:52and that's a shame but the wind is actually pretty strong.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Finally, the moment of truth.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59CHEERING.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03This is the last boat going in now and so far so good
0:20:03 > 0:20:07but it is incredibly windy and the boats are not allowed out
0:20:07 > 0:20:11of the harbour and no sails are allowed to be put up.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15I've covered something like 20 launches and I think this is one
0:20:15 > 0:20:19of only two where we've not been able to put the sails up
0:20:19 > 0:20:21and go out of the harbour.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25But the wind didn't stop the champagne from flowing.
0:20:25 > 0:20:30I think given the conditions we couldn't have asked for more.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32It's been a fantastic experience and sitting
0:20:32 > 0:20:35in it for the first time, I really enjoyed it.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39We've still got dry feet, so we're happy.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43Many of the students had little or no experience of boat-building
0:20:43 > 0:20:47before starting this course nine months ago, and with a skill
0:20:47 > 0:20:50shortage in the trade, the certainty of a job seems
0:20:50 > 0:20:57a likely reward.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Congratulations to them all, they looked like beautiful boats.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Now to a museum that is something of a hidden treasure.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11It's the UK's leading moving image museum and it's
0:21:11 > 0:21:16celebrating its 20th anniversary.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19There's a huge collection of some 80,000 artefacts from the very
0:21:19 > 0:21:21early days of moving images through to modern day film.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23It's called the Bill Douglas Cinema Museum based
0:21:23 > 0:21:26at the University of Exeter - and it's open to the public.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Jane Chandler is there for us this evening.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30This is the upper gallery of the museum.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32Here there is ephermera and paraphernalia related
0:21:32 > 0:21:36to going to the movies and just over here, the glamour of the movies.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40The lovely Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn and this amazing
0:21:40 > 0:21:46biography of one of the very first stars of the movies, Pearl White,
0:21:46 > 0:21:49and it says that the edition is dedicated to the memory
0:21:49 > 0:21:53of the explorer Ernest Shackleton.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55In here we have technology related to something
0:21:55 > 0:21:59like 300 years of history of making moving pictures.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Who would have thought that?
0:22:01 > 0:22:08This machine is called a mutoscope and you can see What the Butler Saw.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12I say!
0:22:12 > 0:22:16This little beauty is over 100 years old.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19It's called a Moy and Bastie camera and it's believed that this very
0:22:19 > 0:22:22camera was the one that was used to film the battle of the Somme
0:22:22 > 0:22:25in the First World War.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28The man who used this camera was JB McDowell.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31His work provides a moving insight into life in
0:22:31 > 0:22:36the trenches and visitors love what they see here.
0:22:36 > 0:22:41I feel like I've just gone back two centuries.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43It's lovely, I love it.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45You can actually get up to the reproduction
0:22:45 > 0:22:47pieces and make them work.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51I can see bringing my grandchildren here and showing them the mutoscopes
0:22:51 > 0:22:54and these little pieces way before there was ever film,
0:22:54 > 0:23:04so I think I'll do that.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08It's an amazing collection of toys, technology and memorabilia at the
0:23:08 > 0:23:14Bill Douglas Cinema Museum. Let's meet the man responsible for looking
0:23:14 > 0:23:19after this collection, Doctor Phil welcome. Tell me about this because
0:23:19 > 0:23:25this is particularly special.In many ways this is the most important
0:23:25 > 0:23:31artefact in the museum, an original lumiere cinematograph. The first
0:23:31 > 0:23:35films were projected on one of these, there were only a few hundred
0:23:35 > 0:23:41made.This collection came from Bill Douglas.Can you tell me about him.
0:23:41 > 0:23:48He was an amazing film-maker and also a collector with his friend
0:23:48 > 0:23:57Phil Jordan. After Bill died, Peter Jordan donated the collection to the
0:23:57 > 0:24:01university to phone the museum. More people have donated and we have
0:24:01 > 0:24:08around 80,000 architects.What sort of people come here?We have
0:24:08 > 0:24:13researchers from all over the world, students and pensioners,
0:24:13 > 0:24:17schoolchildren, corrupt, more and more people are discovering what an
0:24:17 > 0:24:23amazing collection it is.I've been told this museum is open seven days
0:24:23 > 0:24:29a week between 10am and 5pm so you should come and have a look.
0:24:29 > 0:24:34I never knew it was there. Time for the weather now. What will
0:24:38 > 0:24:44colder, we have been in autumn until today and then things change. Change
0:24:44 > 0:24:49is under way, it will be cold tongue like and into the weekend we are
0:24:49 > 0:24:56looking at a drop in temperatures. Tomorrow that will be cold for all
0:24:56 > 0:24:58of us with the rest are
0:24:58 > 0:24:59Tomorrow that will be cold for all of us with the rest are some icy
0:24:59 > 0:25:05patches on roads, this weather system is the boundary between mild
0:25:05 > 0:25:09air we have seen this week and the colder air travelling towards us and
0:25:09 > 0:25:13it's through the English Channel around the middle of tomorrow, then
0:25:13 > 0:25:18it moves away but it opens the door to allow cold north-west winds to
0:25:18 > 0:25:24develop, they come in on Saturday, that will be a blustery and cold
0:25:24 > 0:25:28feeling day and more frost on Saturday night into Sunday, then
0:25:28 > 0:25:33slightly less cold air by Monday on this weather system but it's short
0:25:33 > 0:25:36lived because we returned to northerly winds by the middle of
0:25:36 > 0:25:43next week. Also picking up the radar, the colour is where it is
0:25:43 > 0:25:47raining now and you can see a stripe of rain across the north of Devon,
0:25:47 > 0:25:52more cloud and rain coming in behind me. This will bump along the south
0:25:52 > 0:25:59coast but before it arrived today we had a lot of fine weather. We had
0:25:59 > 0:26:04some glorious sunshine and fine weather, and with less wind around
0:26:04 > 0:26:08today, although it has been quite breezy, and shelter it is felt quite
0:26:08 > 0:26:13present, some lovely weather pictures. The temperature can they
0:26:13 > 0:26:18will drop was some clear skies already starting to fall away, but I
0:26:18 > 0:26:22don't think they will fall too low because all that cloud will give us
0:26:22 > 0:26:27some rain overnight and that band of cloud and rain will gradually move
0:26:27 > 0:26:32east, replaced by showers but even though showers will keep going
0:26:32 > 0:26:35through to dawn tomorrow and when starting to change direction as
0:26:35 > 0:26:40colder air seeps in. Five or 6 degrees the minimum temperature
0:26:40 > 0:26:45tonight, tomorrow a lot of cloud, largely confined to western parts of
0:26:45 > 0:26:51Cornwall and the south of Devon, the showers, some clearing skies further
0:26:51 > 0:26:56north and temperatures already starting to come down. Nine or ten
0:26:56 > 0:27:01will be the maximum temperature for all of us tomorrow. Those are the
0:27:01 > 0:27:06times of high water. Surfing conditions will be clean fun north
0:27:06 > 0:27:13and south coats, the winds westerly, the re-for four, and veering to
0:27:13 > 0:27:17become north for north-westerly by the end of the afternoon and into
0:27:17 > 0:27:21the evening, and that is dragging in clearer air, so frost is possible,
0:27:21 > 0:27:29Saturday is a nice day. We had 15 degrees on Monday and more cloud on
0:27:29 > 0:27:33Sunday and rain returning on Monday. Have a nice evening.
0:27:33 > 0:27:40On fire late news, more on possible changes to the storage of nuclear
0:27:40 > 0:27:46waste at Hinkley Point. That is at 10:20pm but from us here on
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Spotlight, good night.
