T1)C town itsel' lost two great limc trces from the ormer market squarc. 'ITic
isappcarance of such promincnt caturcs had altercd the appcarancc of the town ccntre
cntirely, to the annoyancc of iis niorc consenativc inhabiiants.
Among the annoyed, under more nonnal circumsiances, \vould havc bcen Chief Inspcctor
Douglas Pclham, hca of the local jx>licc force. But at ihe height of thai weeks storm, when
the wind brought down cvcn the mature \valnut iree in his gardcn. Pelham had in faci becn in
no fit siatc to notice. A large and hcalthy man, he had for the irst me in his lifc been scriously
ill with an attack of bronchitis.
\Vhcn he first complained of an aching head and tightncss in his chcst. his wifc. Molly, had
iried to pcrsuade him to go to thc doctor. Convinced ihat the policc force could n<>t do wi(hout
him, he had, as usual. ignorcd her and atiemptcd to carry on \vorking. Predictably, though he
wouldn( have listcned lo anyonc who tried 10 icll him so. this had thc eect of ogging his
memory and shortcning his tcmper.
It was only when his colleague. Scrgeant Lloyd. t(X)k the initiativc and drovc him to the
doctors door that hc inally gave in. By that linie. hc didn't have the strength lcft to arguc wj
17 her. In no time at all. she was laking him along to thc chemist's to get his prescribcd antibiotcs
and then homc to his unsurprised wifc who scnt him straight (0 bcd.
When Molly told him. on the Thursday moming. that thc walnut trec had bcen broughl
dovvn during thc night. Pclhani hadnt bccn able lo takc it in. n Thursday cvening, he had
asked wcakly about damagc lo Ihc house. groaned thankfully vvhcn hc hcard thcre was none.
and pulletl thc shcets ovcr his hcad.
It \vasn't uniil Saturday, whcn the antibiotics took cffcci, his tcmpcraturc dropped and he
got up. thai hc realiscd wilh a shock that (he loss of thc vvalnut trce liad inadc a pcnnanent
dierence to (hc appearancc of the living-room. The Pelhams largc house stood in a si/eablc
gardcn. It had not come chcap. but evcn so Pelham ha no regrets about buying ii. The lcaty
gardcn had creatcd an imprcssion of privacy. Now, though, the stomi had changcd his O utlook.
Previously th e vicw from th e living-room had caturod thc handsonic walnut tr c c . This lad
noi darkcncd th e room because thcre \vas also a window on th e opposiic wall, but i( had
providc intercsting p a ttc m s of liehi and shade th a i disguiscd th e true S tate of th e wom
fumiture that th e family had b r o u g h t w ith thcm from tieir previous house.
Wiih the trce gonc, thc RKini secmed cruelly bright, its wom fumishings cxposed in all thcir
33 shabbiness. And the VCNV froni Uic window didnt bear looking ai. The lall hrni.se next door,
previously hiddeo by ihc trce. was no\v thcre. dominating the Outlook vvith iis unattractivc
purple bricks and cxtcmal pipcs. It scemed co liavc a great many upstairs window$, all of them
watching the Pclhams cvcry movemcnt.
*Docsni it look (erriblc? Pelham croakcd to his wife.
But Molly, standing in the doonvay. sounded morc pleased than dismayed. That's whar

Yawning
m
W hen one person yavvns in a room . o th e r
people begin to yawn.Yawning is contagious. and
once you start, there is alm ost nothing you
can do to stop. O f course, the big question
is: why do we yawn at all? W h a t possible
advantage can there be in keeping o u r mouths
w ide open fo r several seconds? Is it a need fo r
oxygen? Too much carbon dioxide in the blood?

wear bands around th e ir w rists as they w ent

sensitive to increased movement by the people
vvearing them. The bands contained a bucton
which the people w ere to ld to press every tim e
they yawned. A fte r collecting data fo r tw o

sentences.
Yon n ow have fo rty-five cconds in tvhich to look at Part Two.
Dolls have always ascinated me. and thafs why, five years ago. I was delighted
to be oered the job of running a doll musGum.
Dolls have existed (or thousands of years. and the earliest dolls we know
about were ound in graves in ancient Egypt. I only wish we could get one 0 r two
for our museum. but we haven'1 unfortunately, got anything as old as that in the
museum. All the same. we have got examples from Europe from the twelfth
century, but my (avourite early dolls are actually from the seventeenth century.
They interest me not just becase they are early, or airly early. but also because
o the clothes lhey're wearing. They have their original clothes. and from them
we know what the owners wore, since olls in those days w ere always dressed
like their owners. They were made of the only material readily available for Ihings
like this at the time: soli wcxxJ. and they were painte in great detail. In fact, on
the bost examples, like the ones in the museum, the detail includes the
seventeenth century make-up.
Dolls liko these were very expensive then, and only the very rch could afford
them. These days, they're popular with colleclors and if you want one tcxlay. you
have to pay anything up to 10.000 for a doll in pertect conilion from this time!
By the v/ay. what makes them so valuable is that. as far as a collector is
concemed. a doll is only vvorth collecting if it is In perlect condition, and that
means having the original clothas.
113
T cst 1 K cy
Doll collecting has become very ashionable since the museum opened. w r
peopl interested in dolls trom every period, including later dolls. Theres greainterest in nineteenth century examples, when dolls were no longer made of
woo, but began to have sott bodies and real hair. They were very delicate arc
few have survivGd, meaning such a doll would bo worth about 2000. porhaps a
bit more. Later. in the nineteenth century. you could otten take off the doll's har
lf you can. you can often see the maker s ame underneath. and of course the
right one increases a doll's value.
There was a reaily bg change in dolls at the beginning of the twentieth
century. In the museum we have one of the earliest examples, trom about 1905.
of a doll that s a model of a baby. Previously all dolls. the earlier ones. were kta
adults. Thars just one of the changes that have occurred in the last hundred
years. Another. again, is to o with what dolls are made of. Although dolls witn
sott bodtes continue, atter about 1930. plastic began to be used. In fact. <Jo<is
from tho 1930s and 40s are now very popular with collectors. some of them
selling fof very, very high prices.

Weli I have to say, I never reaiiy thought about a career until I got to my last year

PART 4
Well, this week we have three nevv travel guides about the USA. A t o Z t o th e
U S A by Peter Tongue, J u s t G o by Carol Brand and T ra vel T r e a t by John Bames.
Travel gu es shoukl give us not jusi all the practical details, but also background
intonnation, and J u s t G o manages to pack in more of the latesi evelopments in
public life, civic attairs and govemment ian tho usual guide. For some reason,
Travol T rc a ta n A to z tend to ignore this. Though it must be said that Travel
T reat does give you a good insight into the American way ol life.
With travel guides I tend to feel that the wrtGr's cxpcrience is crucial. Now,
these three writers are young, but when you read A to z. what strikes you is Ihat
the author is a sophisticated world traveller who has clocked amazing mileage
throughout thirty countries and four continents.
Nevertheless. there's a feeling that this time he has not put in as much work
prior to writing. And you have tho samo impression with J u s t G o. T ra vel Treat, on
the other har>d. seems to be >ase<J on an incredible amount of sorious worl<.
although the author is not nearly as widely travelled.
Some travel guide books manage to take travellers away from the tourist trail.
and J u s t G o is outstanding in Ihis respect, with extensive coverage of areas
which other guies on't Ihink worth mentioning. To be alr, A t o Z also tries to
encourage you to epart from Che beaten track, bui it doesnt succeed quite as v^-eil.
T ra vel T rea t can at times be a bit on the dull sie, while J u s t G o tries to be
funny without really succooing. A to z . however, is one of those books where.
although l'm sure it wasnt the authors intention that wo should laugh, you just
can't help seeing the unny side of some ol the mistortunes of this cnthusiastic
traveller!
AII the guides give good advice on health. In J u s Go and A to z, you are tokJ
what to o about drugs. the h e a t... all the important details. In addition to that.
Travoi T r e a ta ISO tells you about the kind of medical insurance you need to take

My friend Benny and I started the coursc at tho same time. There was nevor any
doubt that we'd share a place. It was the obvious choice for us to make and I
think its deinitely the best option. 01 course, you have to think about \vhat youre
going to eat. have some kind of System for cleaning, a fow ground rules. We get

Tina:
Tina White, some people describe you as the best magane editor in the world.
and you are only in your thirties. Can yoa tell us how you startod your amazing
career?
Well. when I was t\venty, stiil at college. I was asked to write a sveekly column for
a local paper. The paper had wanted me to write about tamous people. you
know, their wonderiul liestyles. the sort of thing people like to read about.
Instead. what I did was to concenirate on people who the general Public idrVt
know, but who had something original to say.

And you got away with ill Now at that early stage. your amily was important.
How (ar id they inluence your career choice?
My lather was a film producer, and my childhood was spent around intGroational
actors arxl irectors. so with such inluences. I should have become an actress something my tather would have love. But r>0,1 chose to be a journalist in spite
of the wishes of my lamily. I think the biggest intluence was my school, not so
mch tho pooplo but io matorials it gavo mo accoss t o ... the hours and hours
spent in the library.
From being a oumalist. you then went on to become an editor. I understand Ihe
first magazine you editcd. Female Focus. wasnt much of a success?
Well, I was the editor for a year. and then I resigne. mamly because of
disagreements with the owners. They were reluclant to change things. because
they had aith it would eventually make a proit. But when you think of it. the
magazine had been losing millions o1pounds a year belore I became its editor.
When I left. it was stll losing money but nothing like as much as previously. Also.
when I took ovor, it was selling arourxl 650.000 copies. Thai soon increased to
800.000. so it was cenainly an improvement.
And now you are editing Woman's Worl, and you've made it the best selling
womon's magazino ovor. How do you mako poople want to read l?
For some of my comptitors. the most important point is wtiat you put on the
cover of your magazine. But they forget faithful readers look beyond Ihat. The
real challenge is. how do you encouragc a rcader to read a serious piece? How
are we going to make it an article that people want to read? You have to get their
attention. And nothing does that better than a very lively, even shocking. opening
line.
It is said that you work very hard because you don't Irust your empoyees.
That vvas the case five years ago, when I was appointod. It almost drove me
mad. I knew I had the rght idea. tor example. but I wasn't able to get it one
because I iiTt have the brilliant writers I have now, or the right statt to read all
the material when it came in. I ha to read everything about six times. and that
was awful! It took me four years to put together the tam I vvanted. and it would
be very unfair to say I don't trus them.
Do you sometimes worry that you might lose your fame and wealth?
Yes. when you work as an editor. you are praised today and criticised tomorrovv.
OI course it would be ditticult to live vvithout all the ... w e ll... material comorts
l'm used to. but a smaller incon>e is something I think I coukl cope wiih. It
wouldn't be the en of the word. Much more serious woukl be rt the people I
work with no longer admired my work. and most ol aM I want it to stay iat way.
And what about the uture?
Woll. peoplo olten thmK I have p4anned my career very caretully. but in fact lots
of things have happened by chance. Lots of opportunitios have come my way.
and I was once asked to edit a book series. As a youngster. one ol my dreams
was to be a writer. to write a novel that would become a best-seller and then an
avvard-vvinning Um. Well. it may seem silly. but I still hope that will happen or>e day.
Tina. thank you very much for oining us today.

And rx>w for our sports section, and I have vvith me today Paul Collison who i$ a
svvimming instructor wth a rather unusual approach. Thanks for taking the tim
during your holiday to come and talk to us, Paul.
Its very kind of you to invite me.
Paul - yoo're the swimming inslructor al the Palacc Hotel in the south of Prance.
How long have you been there?
Oh, well I started wori<ing there in 1970 when I was 18 years old.
And you've never moved?
Nope - 1get to met a lot ol far>ous people there a n d ... I guess I enjoy that.
And of course a lot of them go there because they want you to toaci thom to swim!
Thats true. but I teach plenty of other people too - and not all my students are
beginnere.
But we're not talking about young children, are we?
Not usually - there isn't the sanne challenge teachiog children. They have an
almost natural ability to swim. Adults are araid. and helping them overcome that
is hard but much more fun somehow.
But dorVt a lot of pooplo just giv up trying to learn once they reach a certain age?
Not at ail. I get hunreds 01 cails Irom people looking for sympathetic'
instructors. I would estimate that about 50*) of the adult population can't swim but theyre still Keen to leam.
So it's ust fear thai holds Ihem back?
Basicalty. yes. I come across it all the time and it isnt just beginners. I have
students who can swim a bit, but dont make any progress because - like all of
them - Ihey hate going underwater.
Mmm ... So what's th secret. Paul?
Well, youve got to relax in the water and that means thai you must control your
brthing.
And I undorstand yo have a spocial technique to help people do that.
Yes. betore my students even go into the poo I teach them how to breathe and
to do that I give everyone a salad bowl.
A salad bow1? Right...

Everyone in the group gots one of these ... each full of v;ater. Pirst, I get them to

breathing.
To calm them.
Uhuh ... and then - they all have to put their taces in the bovvi and breathe out
under water.
How doos t go?
Well. 1hey're all terriied at irst. So we repeat the exercise many times and in the
en they bccome quite compelitive aboot WX) can keep thoir face down the longest!
And thai means Ihey ve started to orget about their fear.
Exactly. When l'm sure they're more con(ident about breathing. I move the group
into the pool and I tell them that they are going to begin by trying to loat wth
their faces in the v/ater. Once l'm sure they're OK. I start thern ff and I teach
different swimming strokes to different pupils dopending on which one I think
thell tind easiest. The svvimming technique ilsel is far less imporiant than
eeling conident in the water.
Great. So how many lessons ;vould I need to leam to swim?
Well. all my lessons are an hour long and generally it just takes three to
overcome the lear and get people swimming. A few never make it but l'd say
90% end up sv/immers.
So theres hope for us ail y e t... and now on to ...

lnterviewer:
So, Peter, as far as I understand it. with record companios in Britain iercely
competing to fnd gcxxl new bands, your job is to look for talented young
musicians?
That's right. In the 1980S. record companies stopped actively looking for new
talent because they were reissuing old hits on compact disc, but now that is no
longer protitable.
So now they are employing people like you?
Yes, v/hen we nd a good artist or band, we sign them up. that is we sign a
contract with them. Theres a flood of small bands and Olher new artists. I
recently signed up an 18-year-old schoolboy who had produced two excellent
recordings from his beroom! My job is not an easy one because surprisingly
most young artists are really quiet people. not at all out-going and they try to
avoid publicity.
Hovv do you fnd your new bands?
Well. its a bit of a lottery. One \vill tum up v/hen you're not even looking for it.
Thats what makes life interesting for me. Ill give you an example. In the summer
of 1993,1happened to be in a record shop in Oxfofd. and I met a guy that played
bass for a k>cal bar> called 'Loops'. A few days laier I went to see them play in a
tent on Oxord ParK as part of an extremely wet music (estival. The band proved to
be superb.
So you signed them up for your company?
Well, they had begun to be followed around by othcr 'talent spotters' like mysel.
It took me three months from when I frst saw them, before I could persuade
them to sign a contract. They liked me. but the main reason was I had seen them
first. That sort of thing makes it all worthwhile.
So do things ever get nasty?

And for our last news item today, a special report (rom Diane Hassan on an
animal that is rapidly becoming iknown as man's bes! friend\ the olphin.
Last week. a 28-year-okJ diver who went svvimming in the Red Sea wfth a group
of dolphins. learnt the hard way just how caring these creatures can be. When
the iver was suddenly attacke by a shark, they save him by forming a crcle
aroond him and frightemng the sharit away.
It's not the irst time such a rescue has happened and its been known for
some time that dolphins vvill do for humans vvhat they do for their own kin. They
are. in fact. the only animals in the world whose brains match ours in terms o
size. and their intelligence and ability to feel emotion continue to ascinate
scientists and octors alike. For somo limo now. thGir healing powers have been
well known. A swim with a group ol olphins. for example. is a recognised
meical' activity for everyday probloms such as stress. But some dolphins are
paying a far more serious medical role for us than that. Amarvda Morlon, who
suffered from a life-threatening illness, argued that being with dolphins savedher
tie because they were able to read her teolings. They knew how I was eeling.

gentle, happy creatures that want to betriend us, which has led to projects with
children as well. In one such project, dolphins are being used to help children
vvho are slow learners learn to read. The dolphins do things like carrying small
boards on their noses. These boards show words or pictures vvhich the children
are asked to identiy. When the children get it right, they spend more time
svvimming vvith the dolphins and touching them and they see this as a revvard. So
vvhat is it that makes contact with dolphins so powerful? They certainly have an
engaging smile ... in each jaw they have up to 52 teeth, but rather than
rightening us to death, its one of the vvarmest greetings in the vvorld! Theyre
also tantastic swimmers to watch ... the spotted dolphin has been observed
reaching 20 miles an hour and keeping this up for two days at a time. And they
know theyre good at it so they show off in front of humans by diving in and out of
the vvater and shovving us just how much tun theyre having. Theyre great
communicators too. They make all kinds of ascinating high-pitched noises. They
catch fish, for example, by sending out sound waves vvhich tell them everything
they need to know - where it is, what it is and how big it is.
The only creatures that concern dolphins, in act, are sharks and man. We dont
necessarily harm them on purpose, but we trap them in ishing nets and we pollute
the water they swim in. Pollution, in tact, is one of the dolphiiYs greatest problems.
So with all the good they do for us, isnt it time we started caring about them?

Don: Mmm. Sometimes it works. To be fair, conllicts are rare but small problems can
mount up in that kind of environment. Evening noise, for example. Some people
want to go to sleep early and others on'1. On occasions l've had to be the sort o(
go-between and impose a ligits out time if things siart getting out of hand.
Mandy: What about gotting up, because that's somelhing we're really not keen on on
hoiiday?
Don: lf wore going into a wtldlife park we might have to be on the road by Six a.m. but
people still ask vvtiy they have to get up so early. I've leamt hov/ to do it nov/. u
theyre a quick group ril get thiem up at five. but if they're slow I won't shout and
scream ai them - 1just got them up at four thirty.
Mandy: Well. pertiaps now we should go on to talk about v/hat there is to see in somc of
those game parks that you have to get up so early for.
