Couldn't make the payments. You went to the building society. Yeah.

And what did you say to them?

I said we need help. We can't...

We're getting into more and more debt with you.

We need you to do something.

We're not just sitting at home saying, "All right,

"we'll wait for the bailiffs to knock on our door."

And he said, "No."

Today... Yeah... we are paying £467 on a place that we do not live in.

And now we live in one room with my mother.

And we're lucky,

like that lady over there, that we had my mother to go to.

But why should we? Why should we? Both... Two people working,

earning average salaries, what were we supposed to do?

Well, I think the fact is that if you want

to have money available to buy a house, which you borrow,

you have to pay what it costs in the marketplace.

But they are temporary. Interest rates don't...

ALL TALK AT ONCE You keep saying they're temporary.

Shh! Wait a sec. Every time... When we first bought it,

and they started going up, you think you,

you feel a bit insecure, but you say to yourself,

this is just a hiccup. Yeah. The first increases.

And then they keep going up and they keep going up.

And as they keep going up, and then you get into debt,

then you get letters from the bank manager

and you suddenly think they are not

going to pay the mortgage this month.

They're not going to... What are we going to do?

These are the real people. Hard-working,

ordinary people trying to have a decent life.

Given encouragement by the government. Yeah, we were.

Yes. Told to buy. I entirely understand that.

But if you buy a house, and you buy it on borrowed money,

you have to accept... You can't afford to pay the water bill!

How can you say that's...?

There's an alien spaceship.

There it is. It's in the tree.

Right. This alien is in the tree, at the moment. Yeah.

Right. And it's just so weird.

But if I zoom you in, there,

you can see it.

You got a close-up?

Yeah.

This is serious business!

Where the hell is it now?

It's there! It's there!

Bloody hell!

Can I say...? I don't care about my swearing,

but that is...

Look at that! Mum!

Oh...

You need to hold the camera straight. Can you see it?

There's an alien spaceship there.

There's a spaceship over there.

Oh, yeah, where's that?

It's over there.

It's just this really bright light.

Is it? Yeah.

Well, look. See the rats. I mean, they can swim.

They just swim up and under and come up the pan, you see.

That's it. Like I said... Cos I said I feel like having, sort of,

say, take the toilet completely away

or else pour all cement and stuff down.

Well, like I said to you before, like I said to you before,

get that seal sealed off with a bit of cement. Yeah.

But obviously, even if you'd have done that... Yeah.

..it wouldn't have cured it.

See, I'm worried if we put cement down there,

that it's going to affect the toilet.

Yeah. We don't really... Won't be able to flush the toilet.

No. That's right. That's what I'm worried about.

It's... Unfortunately, you've just

got an unusual sort of system here really.

Certainly need it sorted out.

Not too bad. Got to be careful here where you step.

INDISTINCT CHATTER

The first thing I was aware of was

driving up through Camelford at four o'clock in the morning and finding

all the stopcocks turned on and water flowing

down the main street.

That day and then the next,

we began to get numbers of people

coming in with mouth ulcers,

diarrhoea and vomiting, skin rashes

and conjunctivitis that we hadn't expected.

A little later,

Councillor Roberts phoned me and said, "We think there's

"a problem with the water.

"We don't know exactly what,

"but we ought to get together to discuss this."

I love you all!

Nearly 18 years.

I think that's about enough, anyway.

Sorry, I didn't mean to be...

Go on!

All right, all right.

HE CLICKS TONGUE

All right, all right.

There's kind of two things going on at once.

One is a major cost-cutting exercise,

which is happening all across the zoo.

And the other one, sort of coincidental with that,

is an effort to redefine what we do to be somewhat more relevant

for the visiting public in the 20th century.

What are you looking for in the new keepers?

We want people who are adaptable, personable,

good kind of, you know, personal skills,

talking to the public, because the public are our...

The visitors are our bread and butter.

So, I mean, we can't afford to have people,

I think, who kind of are not happy with interacting with the public.

And in order to do that, you know, you've got to have a friendly,

outgoing, cheerful character.

Everyone tells me what a miserable individual I am walking around.

And the overseers quite often tell me to smile.

So, you know, I try my best to.

I do let my hair down and smile occasionally after work, though.

Mm.

You're trying to make me laugh now, aren't you?

CHURCH BELL PEALS

PIGS SQUEAL

All I can describe them as, they were mental.

They just walked until they hit a wall,

and then they still kept walking till they wore their feet out.

And, uh...

..I think the first one died, the rest we had put down,

because there's nothing you can do with them.

Animals are a barometer for, you know,

sort of the humans.

So, you know, if it's going to affect rabbits to that degree,

what's it going to do to humans, as well?

You OK? What's wrong? I'm a bit tired.

Well, this doesn't matter.

We'll leave this till later, then, OK?

Do you think the injection hurts?

No, I don't think, if he's in that much pain

and they've decided to put him down,

then the injection,

they probably wouldn't have even felt it at all.

But he'll be all right cos he'll be in heaven now, won't he?

Mm-hm, wherever.

I don't know if I believe in heaven or not, so I can't answer that one.

And all I'm saying is, as grown-ups, my car is hydraulically...

It has a hydraulic suspension system which,

when down, will get damaged if the car is moved.

Well, he's assured me that, in fact, it won't be damaged...

He has? ..OK?

If it does get damaged, then you have the right to make

a claim against them

for any damage that's caused to your vehicle.

And that is your right.

OK? Well, I think rights are for ignorant people.

All right, thanks very much.

It's not possible to attribute

the very real current health effects which some people

are still suffering to the toxic effects of the incident,

except insofar as they are

the consequence of the sustained anxiety

which has been felt, quite naturally, by so many people.

Ah!

Surely you're not really at risk?

Um...

Who can say?

I've got a friend who is one of the least promiscuous people

I've ever known.

And she contracted it...

..from somebody she'd been going out with for two years.

So are you worried?

Yes, of course.

Not worried - concerned.

What are night sweats, exactly?

Well...

..you'd go to sleep at night, and as I'm sort of dozing off,

my body temperature would rise.

And, you know, by morning time,

if, you know, the sleep was irregular -

you would sort of wake up -

by morning time, sometimes the bed would be drenched, sopping wet.

The fear did hit me.

And you're sort of...

..not...

..about your wits.

You're sort of a different person.

So it isn't... It isn't reason.

It's not rational.

It's just... anxiety. But were you scared of pain or suffering,

or death? No.

I've experienced quite a lot of pain, and I'm not afraid of pain.

Um...

I can't put my finger on it.

It must be just afraid of the unknown,

afraid that I was dying.

It's heavy. So, it it's heavy metal...

If it's what you call heavy metal,

then you've got put a pretty heavy lyric to it.

And I suppose writing about the darker forces

and the darker sides of whatever fits the music.

I mean, you would hardly write about a love song

to that kind of heaviness.

I mean, throughout history, musicians...

I can't remember the name of the composer,

but there was... Hundreds of years ago,

one composer was looked upon as being too heavy for the time.

NEWSREADER: Tyneside has been picking up the pieces

for the second time this week,

following another night of serious rioting in the region,

this time in Newcastle.

Hundreds of youngsters gathered in the city's West End,

where police and firemen turned out in huge numbers to deal with

dozens of incidents in the wake of Monday's disturbances

at the Meadow Well Estate in North Shields.

I'm trying to ring my agent to get my bookings.

It's ringing.

Hello, George. It's Scott Davis here.

Have you got owt for me this week?

FROM TELEVISION: ..night of arson and rioting.

Crowds of youths gathered on the... Chirton?

..city's Elswick Road, throwing rocks and stones...

Chirton? That's bloody where the riots are, innit?

Oh. And a blaze engulfed a van overturned by the mob

in the middle of the road.

Firemen who arrived to put out...

When they're going to blow the petrol station up,

the club goes up.

I don't think I want to go there, really.

So... Right.

Right.

Bye now.

Ah, sh...

..to throw bricks and stones at the speeding vehicle.

I needed to see you so much today.

I had the worst day of my life.

My parents came back and I'd left the car outside,

all crunched up like a little sardine can...

SHE GIGGLES

..and I hadn't told them.

I didn't think they were getting back at 7:00 in the morning.

My father walked in and saw it sort of sitting outside.

SHE LAUGHS

Yeah. What do you think?

No, they went... They freaked.

Freaked!

And Mum bought me a Rolex.

SHE LAUGHS

And she came back and she said,

"I bought you a present, but you're not going to have it...

"because you squished the car."

She bought one for all of us - all the girlies.

I got these.

The children are dying to get their hands on them,

but I don't let them.

They're Guatemalan worry dolls, I think they're called.

And it's quite good because you're supposed

to tell them your worries and they solve it.

Where are they?

The bastards haven't been working very well for me.

I have a shout at them occasionally.

LIVELY CHATTER

I'm not a scientist.

I'm not an appendage of Stephen, as I very much feel I am.

When we go to some of these official gatherings, I mean,

sometimes I'm not even introduced to people.

I come along behind.

And, um...

..I don't really know who I'm speaking to.

But with my friends, I'm just me - and that's just Jane.

And that's terribly important.

It's terribly important for my self-respect and...

..terribly important for...

..my survival, I think.

All right. So, I'll see you in Caius this evening.

Yes. What time?

19:10. Fine, OK.

APPLAUSE

I'm sort of pinching myself. Yes.

If you'd said to me, what, four months ago,

"You'll be attending a victory party to celebrate a majority of 8,600",

I'd have said, "Oh, you're mad. Never!

Your car has been removed, madam. It's cut and dried.

You're supposed to find... It's dangerous.

Is it not dangerous for women to walk around at night?

What am I meant to do at night?

Whatever you say, it is dangerous,

girls walking individually on their own around London.

So what are you meant to do? I have the same problem as you.

I'm a female. Yeah, but you're a policeman,

and you're usually in pairs.

It makes no difference when I'm on my own.

But I carry one of these panic alarms with me.

All they are is a pressurised container,

and you can carry it along the street,

and if anything should happen, you can just press the button -

and like that.

You can get them from most hardware stores.

But that's what I advise you to do.

I still think this is absolutely ridiculous,

and I think you've got no right to do it.

How is waiting this time, compared to the previous time you took the test?

Every time I think about it, it does pull me up short completely.

You're suddenly aware that there's the possibility,

and the closer you get to it,

the possibility of getting a positive result

seems to loom larger.

No, I haven't spoken to any particular doctor,

but that's because I know that most doctors won't

carry out euthanasia for you.

So my friends and I have discussed about taking my own life

in the time when it comes to it,

and we've arranged that we'll hire a video and film it,

and that way, nobody will end up in court because I took my own life.

They've just helped me do it by taking me out of hospital,

where it's impossible to take your own life.

And then, here, this is where the DJs,

the music people are sleeping - in here.

I don't know where they are at the moment.

They're the guys who set everything up downstairs.

If people don't apply for Keeper in Charge jobs,

then they aren't the type of people that we want.

Of course. And if people read that job description and they say,

"Oh, that's not as good as what I did before,"

then they aren't the right people.

The type of people we want are the people that are going to be

I mean, perhaps we should have left some more clues in there.

If you look at it laterally,

then what you're actually trying to do is achieve thought process

then you actually mould and develop.

I'd have maids.

I'd invest some in cigarettes.

I know it's a bad thing, but when you've got money,

you've got to raise more money.

I'd invest in cigarettes because they'll always sell.

I can take steps to form a view as to whether this is going on.

And if it is going on, take steps if necessary, to stop it.

Of course, he'll have the information.

He has the powers to demand it.

But the really important question is

what is the quality of that information?

Inside that. Look, just look at it.

What are you doing?

You got to put your eyes out of focus or something.

Do you knock the eyes out of focus?

Look at these two, looking at the newspapers, man.

That newspaper. I can't get the newspaper on the floor.

God would not have had any freedom to choose how the universe began.

We are such insignificant creatures on a minor planet

of a very average star in the outer suburbs

of one of a hundred thousand million galaxies.

So it is difficult to believe in a God

that would care about us, or even notice our existence.

Instead, I would use a term,

God, as the embodiment of the laws of physics.

Can you get it?

What we're trying to do,

the Daily Mail newspaper

and magazine have produced this thing,

brightly coloured pattern.

And apparently you can see sort of

where's the actual... 3D pictures inside.

3D pictures inside. Apparently they leap out at you.

Personally, I think, yeah, they leap out.

Personally, I think you've got to be pissed to actually see these.

He seems to be the only one getting the images.

Yeah. I can't see one bleeding image.

Hold on.

There are a lot of these American...

I mean, everything's under the thing of being metal

and the way they perceive it now,

if you've got long hair, a guitar,

and tight spandex pants, you're metal.

And that's not the case

because it's getting so confusing, the speed metal, death metal,

gay metal, you know, whatever metal, you know,

it's all different aspects of the one thing,

and it gets so confusing for me.

I don't know what the bloody hell it's all about any more.

Miners' union leaders are calling for a strike against plans

to close most of the industry.

Ministers say there will be no change of mind.

It emerged tonight that the decision to shut down half

the coal industry was not discussed beforehand by the full cabinet.

It isn't suddenly something that we've woken up,

rubbed our eyes and decided

to do something beastly to the mining industry.

If it wasn't economically unavoidable,

we would not have done it.

But since it became economically unavoidable,

we thought it better to do it cleanly and quickly.

How's it going to affect you, the closure of this pit?

Well, I'm 43, so I've got no chance of getting a job when I finish here.

My whole family will be on the dole.

Myself, my future wife, her mother, her brother.

What's left for us?

This kind of thing shouldn't be allowed to happen to anyone,

whatever industry they're in.

Not on such a large scale as this.

It is absolutely devastating.

I don't know how I'm going to be able to tell my wife

and four kids that this is it, we're done.

REPORTER: Good evening, Chancellor.

There is too much short termism,

too much reacting to events, not enough shaping of events.

We give the impression of being in office, but not in power.

Unless this approach is changed,

the government will not survive and will not deserve to survive.

Good evening, we're Pulp,

and we're going to play a song called Common People for you,

which is a national anthem for the Netto generation.

And it sounds like this.
