1
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,240
BIRDS CHIRP

2
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,080
Silence is complicity.

3
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,240
Inaction is death.

4
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,520
Nature is not for sale.

5
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,640
Preservation, not corporate greed.

6
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:08,640
Oi!

7
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:11,720
Fight for the future.

8
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:12,800
Fight for the future.

9
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,360
Anyone? We were meant to start
the first performance at 11.

10
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,080
Yeah, OK, so don't panic,

11
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,120
but there's a lorry
blocking the entrance.

12
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:23,200
It's causing chaos.

13
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:24,800
You're kidding.

14
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,240
Well, Jimmi's trying to sort it.

15
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,200
Not that Al and Malika are here.

16
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,480
And I thought Kirsty
would at least come to watch.

17
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,360
Yeah, well, her and Al aren't
getting on.

18
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,000
I mean, I told her to
leave it, but...

19
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,040
Are we starting soon, or what?

20
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,040
A bit pointless without an audience.

21
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:39,160
Maybe that's a sign.

22
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,880
What's that?
I'm just a little nervous.

23
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,560
Maybe I could film some fun content
with these two for our socials.

24
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:47,880
Like, drum up some interest.

25
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:48,960
That would be good.

26
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,040
Sorry, it's just - this is
important.

27
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,280
Why else do you think I would
be dressed like this?

28
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:54,440
Let's do it, then.

29
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,080
Stay on the walkie-talkie.

30
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,280
Great. More evidence online of me
looking like this.

31
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:01,840
Well, you knew that was the plan.

32
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,840
At least with a mask on,
no-one will recognise you.

33
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,480
Things nosedived already?

34
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,720
..is not for sale.

35
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,960
Preservation, not corporate greed.

36
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,680
Loads of people are sharing it.

37
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,040
Stop worrying about what
your folks will think.

38
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,600
I'm not.

39
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,080
Anyway, it's me on view, as usual.

40
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,160
Well, you're a better spokesperson.

41
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,320
We'd better get ready.

42
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,560
Haven't we done enough for today?

43
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,600
I thought you were committed.
I am.

44
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,000
Understood why we're doing this.
I do.

45
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,920
Then asking if we've done enough
is a stupid question.

46
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:51,080
Nina to Jimmi.
Any sign of anyone? Over.

47
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,840
If a theatre performance
happens in the woods

48
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,200
and no-one is there to see it,

49
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:57,400
did it even happen?

50
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,920
We can hardly
chuck in the towel, can we?

51
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:02,120
We could try.

52
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,080
Big success?

53
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:08,600
You wouldn't believe how many people
we had here this morning.

54
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,440
Bit thin on the ground now,
though, isn't it?

55
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:12,600
Thought I'd better come

56
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,000
and check no council
regulations are being broken.

57
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,040
Welcome to The Beechwalk Promenade.

58
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,560
Hi.  And madam,
how did you hear about us?

59
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,320
I read about it online.

60
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,960
And she works at The Mill.

61
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,640
Look, housing is more
important to the general public.

62
00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:30,640
Or not.

63
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:32,400
Al, position.

64
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,600
Welcome, everyone! Please, come in.

65
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,000
I'm your beechwalk guide,
Red Robin.

66
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,320
How twee.

67
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,160
Under the boughs
we'll go and be brisk,

68
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,960
to tell my friends
the beechwalk's at risk.

69
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,480
Sorry.

70
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,600
It's chaos out there, isn't it?

71
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,920
It's a relief to see it was just
a broken-down truck

72
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,200
and not eco-idiots.

73
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,400
Eco-idiots?
You know, the ones that block roads.

74
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,440
I nearly didn't bother coming,

75
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,440
but my daughter insisted
I bring my grandkids.

76
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,040
No offence. Sorry.

77
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,280
Shall we go
and meet our first friend?

78
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,800
Beneath the trees,
there's lots to see and hear,

79
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,920
take it all in, before it
might disappear.

80
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,440
Sorry. It's very...

81
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:29,840
..cute.

82
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:31,760
Aren't you on the council?

83
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,240
Councillor Munroe.

84
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,640
First up, he's black and he's white,

85
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,000
and usually seen at night.

86
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,080
But don't worry, don't fret,

87
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,080
here he comes from his sett.

88
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,880
Did Robin refer to me as friend?

89
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:48,600
The trouble with Robin is,

90
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,400
she thinks everyone should chirp
like her,

91
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:56,680
but I have a different role
to play in the ecosystem.

92
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:01,000
Listen up, badger,
I come with important news,

93
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,360
but brace yourself,
because this might bruise.

94
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,280
Some humans want to
build their home here,

95
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:11,120
what do you think of that, my dear?

96
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,800
Oh, no.

97
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,280
For goodness' sake.

98
00:05:16,280 --> 00:05:19,160
Won't someone give us
badgers a break?

99
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,400
They've already built a road right
through my foraging tracks.

100
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,360
And let's talk real estate.

101
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:30,200
My sett has been
here for over 100 years,

102
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:34,200
handed down through
generations of grumpy badgers.

103
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,040
You cannot build here.

104
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:37,080
I am protected.

105
00:05:38,280 --> 00:05:41,800
Don't badgers spread
disease like TB?

106
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,240
What? Who said that? Who said that?

107
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,960
Councillor.

108
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,880
I think you'll find actually,
it's bovine TB.

109
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,360
And that's debatable.
We're not to blame for everything.

110
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:56,640
Always coming at me with TB.

111
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,200
Why don't I come at you, with my
tail right upside your head?

112
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,440
Do badgers do anything?

113
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,640
Sirrah,
I am so pleased you asked that.

114
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,240
I am an omnivore.

115
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,920
I love eating worms,

116
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,440
and grubs, and fruit.

117
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,160
And then, when I go on my travels,
do you know what I do?

118
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:16,280
I poop.

119
00:06:16,280 --> 00:06:20,080
I poop so much! Great stinking
mounds of the stuff.

120
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,600
And in my poop, there are seeds,

121
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,480
with the nutrients required to grow.

122
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:30,880
You see, us badgers,
we encourage biodiversity.

123
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,800
So you cannot build
over my part of The Beechwalk.

124
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,000
Now, there are some annoying,
buzzing bees down yonder.

125
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,600
Why don't you go
and shoo them away instead?

126
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,000
Bye-bye, badger, back to sleep you
go.

127
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,760
But about your neighbour,
I don't know.

128
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,520
So let's move on and see
if we agree,

129
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,480
with what you said about Busy Bee.

130
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,760
You know, they're doing
a decent job.

131
00:06:58,760 --> 00:06:59,960
Maybe we should just...

132
00:06:59,960 --> 00:07:03,440
With a nature pantomime? Seriously?

133
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,200
Besides, that councillor is here.
We stick to the plan.

134
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,160
You make a great sarcastic badger.

135
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:24,720
Condescension?

136
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:25,960
No, honestly. Great.

137
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,240
Much better than I'd have done.

138
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:29,720
Do my ears deceive me?

139
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,920
Something you don't think
you're an expert at?

140
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,040
Al, I came here to sort things out.

141
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,360
To bury the hatchet?  Exactly.

142
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,000
Well, you'll have to remove
it from my back first.

143
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,720
I prefer you as a badger.

144
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,280
Yeah, it was on the wrong channel.

145
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,720
That about sums up today.

146
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,920
I thought we'd have had more
kids in the audience.

147
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:53,520
They seem to be enjoying it.

148
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,800
And the road's cleared,
so that's good.

149
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,960
We're getting
a bit of interaction online.

150
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,400
A bit isn't enough.
We'd better move on.

151
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,360
Everybody, gather round.

152
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,160
This goes to show that you don't
know

153
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:07,880
how much you'll miss bees

154
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,280
until...

155
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:10,480
I'm here.

156
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,560
I'm... I'm Bee.

157
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:17,080
Oh, Busy Bee, you must be
tired from all that pollinating.

158
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,040
Other people's pollinating,
actually.

159
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:20,400
Less bees means more work...

160
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:24,200
Sorry to interrupt your patter,
but The Beechwalk is under threat,

161
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,080
and badger says the bees
don't matter.

162
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:28,800
He said what?

163
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:33,080
Fight for the future!
Fight for tomorrow.

164
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:37,360
Councillor Moron, you are taking
our future for profit.

165
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:38,680
That's not true.

166
00:08:38,680 --> 00:08:40,640
How dare you say such a thing?

167
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,400
This is disgraceful.

168
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:43,800
Everyone stay calm.

169
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,320
The time for calm is over.

170
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,040
Councillors like her
line their pockets

171
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,680
while they destroy our vital
green spaces.

172
00:08:51,680 --> 00:08:53,400
That's slander.

173
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:57,480
You should be committing to more
trees, to more preservation.

174
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:03,080
Until it's agreed The Beechwalk
will be saved, we will not be moved.

175
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,360
Fight for the future.

176
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:06,880
Fight for tomorrow.

177
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,000
This is nice.

178
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,880
Just sitting in peace and nature.

179
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,840
If only we didn't have to perform.

180
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,040
You've taken to this way better
than I thought you were going to.

181
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,160
Embrace the mask.

182
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,000
I should have stuck being
the grumpy hedgehog.

183
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,280
It's much more my vibe
at the moment.

184
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,800
Perhaps you can change your vibe
to being foxy.

185
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,360
Become the character.

186
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,360
OK, Daniel Day-Hedgehog.

187
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,640
Do hedgehogs eat biscuits?

188
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:45,920
What is taking them so long?

189
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:54,080
Is glueing yourself to a tree
eco-friendly?

190
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,000
We're both science students.

191
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,560
It's not going to cause any lasting
damage to the tree.

192
00:09:58,560 --> 00:09:59,960
Rip them off it.

193
00:09:59,960 --> 00:10:01,240
That would be assault.

194
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,840
What gives you the right to ruin
this for everyone?

195
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,760
There's more carbon dioxide
in our atmosphere

196
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,880
than at any
time in human history,

197
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,120
pushing us towards climate
catastrophe.

198
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,120
You vandalised our offices
this morning.

199
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,000
Is that really so important

200
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:19,680
when, on average, wildlife
populations have decreased by 69%?

201
00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:23,080
Dr Bulsara, best call it a day
while this situation is dealt with.

202
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,560
I don't think that's necessary.

203
00:10:25,560 --> 00:10:28,240
I'm not being put off by these
crackpots.

204
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,920
My grandkids came along to
enjoy the show.

205
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,120
Unfortunately, I am out of time.

206
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,520
Busy selling off public
land to your mates?

207
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,280
Young lady,
one day you'll realise

208
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,800
this world is not as simple
as you'd like it to be.

209
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,440
People actually vote for you?

210
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,240
Well, I've had a lovely time.

211
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,640
Everyone can rest assured our final
decision tomorrow

212
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,880
will consider all aspects.

213
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,520
Those that can,
let's move on to our next stop.

214
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,880
The truth can't be ignored.

215
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,400
Zo?  Now you speak up?

216
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,240
My hand is itching real bad.

217
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:12,560
Councillor. Would you like to give
us an interview about today?

218
00:11:12,560 --> 00:11:14,640
I'll remain impartial.

219
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,160
Such a shame your little play
was hijacked.

220
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,200
It's a reflection of the strength
of feelings about The Beechwalk.

221
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,960
You can't reason with
people like that, though, can you?

222
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,960
Well, sometimes politeness can be
confused with being reasonable.

223
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,520
We've got a lot of shots of you
enjoying the play, though,

224
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,400
so you'll see them on our socials.

225
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,440
That's not going to make
the slightest bit of difference.

226
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,000
Do you think she's right?

227
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:40,600
We need to be noisier online.

228
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,920
Hi, Craig, it's Beverly.

229
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,840
Yes, I know, I still owe you that
drink.

230
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,520
I've got a story for you.

231
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,160
Have you heard about this nonsense
around the Selly Heath beechwalk?

232
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,440
It's proper itchy.

233
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:02,880
You said.

234
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,760
What are you two playing at?

235
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,880
A lot of us
have put a lot of effort into today.

236
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:08,960
You're naive.

237
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,800
Excuse me?  You think adults
playing dress-up

238
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,680
are going to inspire action?

239
00:12:13,680 --> 00:12:17,760
We're engaging with people in an
accessible and informative way.

240
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:18,920
It's not enough.

241
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,400
Zo, my hand.

242
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,400
And you think this aggressive
approach will work?

243
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,440
And you think asking nicely will?

244
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,560
We need civil disobedience
and direct action.

245
00:12:29,560 --> 00:12:30,880
Zo.

246
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,320
My hand really hurts.

247
00:12:33,560 --> 00:12:35,880
What's wrong with it?

248
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,880
Contact dermatitis.

249
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,480
You're having an allergic reaction
to either the tree or the glue.

250
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,720
Did you bring anything
to release yourself?

251
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,320
We weren't planning on going
anywhere.

252
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,160
I'll fetch something.
I'll be fine.

253
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:51,320
It's for the cause.

254
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:52,880
It could get much worse.

255
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,440
Amir, let her help you.

256
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,160
I'll be back.

257
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:07,600
Robin.

258
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,640
Sorry about them.

259
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,280
I don't know your actual name.

260
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,720
But that was great.
You won me over.

261
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,720
You enjoyed it?

262
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,840
Absolutely. Just a shame about those
idiots and their stunt.

263
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,720
I hope it didn't spoil it for you.

264
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,200
Not at all.
The grandkids want to see it again.

265
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,360
Is that OK?

266
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,320
Absolutely. We go again in half an
hour.  Wonderful.

267
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,880
I'll try and rally some local
friends for support.

268
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,600
Post on social media too.

269
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,920
Remember to use the hashtag.

270
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:43,040
I don't know how to hashtag, but no
doubt the kids will enlighten me.

271
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,240
Nina?  If it's the lad who's having
the allergic reaction...

272
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,080
Yeah, it's not.
Did they mention the performance?

273
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,520
"Extreme protestors terrified
children

274
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,840
"at an am-dram performance at
The Beechwalk this afternoon."

275
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,160
That's all they said about the play?

276
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,480
Well, it's mainly about
the protestors

277
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,440
and their "unsavoury methods".

278
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,240
Children weren't terrified.

279
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,400
I can guess who's behind this.

280
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,240
It's getting quite
a lot of attention online.

281
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,240
That family are still out there,

282
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,400
interview them
about the lovely time they had.

283
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:25,200
We're tackling this negativity
with positivity, OK?

284
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:28,520
Yes, boss.

285
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,320
They've made it look like I'm
angry at the performance.

286
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,000
There's no mention of
Fight for the Future,

287
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,560
no facts about the climate crisis,

288
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,640
no facts about the loss
of green spaces.

289
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,240
My hand is killing me.

290
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,400
Will you shut up about your hand?

291
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,680
I'm the new local face of
"Terrifying small children".

292
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:51,480
And the comments.

293
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,800
Don't. Don't read the comments.

294
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,520
"I know what I'd do
if she scared my kids."

295
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,120
"Just lock them up."
"That...

296
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,480
"That girl needs a slap."

297
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:11,680
Something's really worked.

298
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,720
This is amazing.
Scarlett's done a great job online.

299
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,520
We've even got a reporter.

300
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:17,920
Send them down in a few minutes?

301
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,720
OK.  We're reaching people.

302
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:20,840
We have a chance.

303
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,680
All right, if everyone could
listen to me, please?

304
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,960
If you could start to
gather around for me. Excellent.

305
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,680
Zo, talk to me, please?

306
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,000
What's happened?

307
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,560
That stupid article with even
stupider comments.

308
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,400
I'd agree with that analysis.

309
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,120
Wash your hands, and I'd advise
an over the counter antihistamine.

310
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,320
And if it gets worse,
or doesn't improve,

311
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,240
seek further medical advice.

312
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,480
Zo, don't let this get to you.

313
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,880
You can stay, but there's an
audience

314
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,360
and a journalist about
to come through.  A journalist?

315
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,160
Please don't take attention
away from the performance.

316
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,160
Please.  Get me off.  What?

317
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:06,640
Unstick me.

318
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,560
I'll still sit here with you.

319
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,600
People are coming.
People have called us names before.

320
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,280
Wait, don't...  Zo!

321
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,800
That was silly.

322
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,120
Let's see.

323
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,600
It needs a dressing. Wait here.

324
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,400
When I'm done, I'll do it for you.
Wait.

325
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,720
Talk to me.
I've just had enough.

326
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,680
Welcome, all, I'm Robin,
your host and guide.

327
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,120
Hi, Robin.

328
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,960
I hope, for you, Badger was
well behaved,

329
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:47,400
I know he's keen for his home
to be saved.

330
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,960
But here beneath the trees there's
plenty more to see,

331
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:56,520
so let me introduce my next friend,
Ms Busy Bee.

332
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,640
Ms Busy Bee!

333
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,640
Hi, Robin, can't stop,
too much to do.

334
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,920
Queen Bee will be mad.

335
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:14,200
Sorry to interrupt your patter,
but The Beechwalk's under threat,

336
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,760
and Badger says that bees
don't matter.

337
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,760
He said what? Us pollinators are
responsible

338
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,640
for one out of every
three mouthfuls of your food.

339
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:25,960
One third?

340
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:32,160
And bees are worth £690 million
for the UK economy...

341
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:33,920
Leave her alone.

342
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,440
Gosh, I give up.

343
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,000
Don't ruin this again.

344
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,800
Why are people's priorities
so messed up?

345
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,440
She's selflessly given her time to
make a difference.

346
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,000
Selfless?

347
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,880
Don't you think we'd rather be
studying, or just being young?

348
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,440
Nobody's stopping you.

349
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,400
No, just the fact that
everything's pointless

350
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,320
if we don't have a habitable Earth.

351
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,600
I understand you're here
with good intent,

352
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,880
but what will you do after you've
been entertained?

353
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,400
Go home and back to normal?
Hope for the best?

354
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,320
Or leave it to someone else?

355
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:09,760
Well, we're someone else.

356
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,600
Doing it because you won't.

357
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:16,800
That's hard to follow.

358
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:23,080
Further on, I have a neighbour
who doesn't do much at all.

359
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,400
Come on, all, let's go and see,

360
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:29,360
if Bee's neighbour is really lazy.

361
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,920
This friend is shy
and getting harder to find,

362
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:43,360
but despite her spikes
is usually quite kind.

363
00:18:43,360 --> 00:18:46,600
I think she's
hiding behind that log,

364
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:50,400
let's gently call out
for Mrs Hedgehog.

365
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,120
ALL: Hedgehog! Hedgehog! Hedgehog!

366
00:18:55,840 --> 00:19:00,040
Hello, who's there?
I can't see very well.

367
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:04,520
It's me, Robin, glad to find you in.

368
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,360
Well, it's not a good time,
I'm afraid.

369
00:19:07,360 --> 00:19:11,240
I'm feeling very grumpy
because I've recently found out

370
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,440
that I am
"vulnerable to extinction."

371
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,880
I'm afraid I've no
news of joy or merriment,

372
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,080
the Beechwalk's being
eyed for development.

373
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,360
Oh, this is absolutely desperate.

374
00:19:23,360 --> 00:19:26,360
Human beings are just... argh!

375
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,720
Curse these little legs.

376
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,000
Oh, laugh, why don't you?

377
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,480
I don't know why I am bothering

378
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,480
when British woodlands are being
decimated

379
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:47,360
and we are being fobbed
off with lip service and rhetoric.

380
00:19:47,360 --> 00:19:50,680
We can see you're passionate
about this, Hedgehog.

381
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,240
Oh, I am many things, Robin.

382
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:59,160
I'm enraged that tree targets
have been reduced by one third,

383
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,520
with never a priority given to
native trees.

384
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,440
I'm incensed that 7% of British
woodland

385
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,560
is considered to be in good
condition.

386
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:10,280
And I am absolutely enraged to hear
that it's 1%,

387
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:15,200
only 1% has it
increased in the last 20 years.

388
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:16,880
And yet... And yet we are having
a debate

389
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,720
about whether we should
cut down these trees or any others.

390
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,880
Is nobody paying attention?

391
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,560
And not to mention the fact
that coming to places like this

392
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,360
can help with anxiety
and depression,

393
00:20:28,360 --> 00:20:31,200
and we are taking these places
away from our children

394
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,400
who already live in an increasingly
chaotic,

395
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,240
deprived and anxiety-inducing world.

396
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:38,960
Really?

397
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:40,200
Hedgehog.

398
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,480
You've given us
plenty to think about.

399
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,040
Um...

400
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:51,120
We'll do our best
to protect your nest.

401
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:53,800
Yes.

402
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:02,560
And further on,
you will find a real pest.

403
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:12,680
Do you want to watch it back?

404
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,280
Do you want to watch it back?

405
00:21:18,120 --> 00:21:19,960
I've reached my own tipping point.

406
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,880
I guess I got one degree hotter.

407
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:25,680
It's just a few keyboard warriors

408
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,120
who are scared of the truth,
so they lash out.

409
00:21:28,120 --> 00:21:30,400
We're wasting our time.

410
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,040
People think we're the enemy.

411
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:33,840
We're getting there.

412
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,200
People still want it sugar-coated

413
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,120
with plays about talking animals.

414
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:44,840
I don't know, maybe they managed
to make a difference.

415
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:46,480
We haven't.

416
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,760
You don't think we made an impact?

417
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,000
That we didn't bring more
attention to this?

418
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,720
Let's go have fun.

419
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,400
Party like it's
the end of the world.  Why?

420
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,120
Because it is.
We're not giving up.

421
00:22:01,120 --> 00:22:04,480
I have been protesting
since I was 14.

422
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,320
I spend all my time worried
or angry.

423
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,200
You just need a break.

424
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:10,960
There's no time.

425
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,360
We're screaming into a void.

426
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,920
Let's get your hand seen to, and
then we'll decide what to do, OK?

427
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,720
Bushy-tailed and known to be sly,

428
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:32,560
yet the truth is, he's also
quite shy.

429
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,280
He's seen in town or country,

430
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,440
let's welcome our Mr Foxy.

431
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,360
I wasn't expecting so many people.

432
00:22:45,120 --> 00:22:47,880
I don't want to put you to the test,

433
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,320
but one of your neighbours said
you're a pest.

434
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,400
Could a pest look this good?

435
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,400
I just go wherever the food is,

436
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,720
and I'm excellent at keeping
those rodent numbers down.

437
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,560
Who called me a pest, anyway?

438
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,080
Was it that grumpy hog?

439
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,520
Or was it Mr Handsome?

440
00:23:15,120 --> 00:23:18,840
Well, unlike some, us
urban foxes

441
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,280
are very
good at regulating the population.

442
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,080
We're smart like that, adaptable.

443
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:29,280
So where will you go
if The Beechwalk is no more?

444
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:34,040
The question is, where will you all
go when The Beechwalk

445
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,080
or beechwalks everywhere
are no more?

446
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,120
Hmm.

447
00:23:40,120 --> 00:23:43,400
Not a nice thought, is it?

448
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:47,200
So do something about it,
and trust me,

449
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,720
there's nothing foxier than
saving the environment.

450
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:58,320
Now, I've got to go and have a word
with that prickly little beast.

451
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,880
Remember,
the council's decision is tomorrow.

452
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,600
Email them, spread the word,

453
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,920
and use our hashtag.

454
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,320
Didn't you enjoy it second
time round?

455
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,840
First time, I was entertained.

456
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,760
Second time, I realised how
serious it is.

457
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,760
How long until they realise
we've messed it all up for them?

458
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:44,600
Kids shouldn't have this
to worry about.

459
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,360
That's why we have to do all we can.

460
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:01,640
How are we, Team Social Media?

461
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,440
We are getting so many likes
and shares, I can't actually keep up.

462
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,240
Yeah, we're putting the performances
online soon now as well,

463
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,560
so hopefully there'll be
even more people.

464
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,120
My favourite bit is Zara
falling over, though.

465
00:25:12,120 --> 00:25:15,280
I want to say it was a success,
but I don't want to jinx anything.

466
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:16,720
Well, you did a great job.

467
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,120
Tomorrow will tell if we did enough.

468
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:23,680
Nina? You OK?

469
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,120
Could you help me
with one more thing?

470
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,480
What we've done today, you may think
silly,

471
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,520
a waste of time,

472
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,320
or maybe just not enough.

473
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,680
We had young protestors here
you may think were extreme.

474
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:50,880
But what I've realised is this.

475
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,640
Debating the right and wrong way
to bring about change

476
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,920
is wasting time
we don't have.

477
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,640
While we turn against each other,
more of our green spaces

478
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:09,520
and vital natural
environment are lost.

479
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:10,560
Maybe forever.

480
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:16,840
And for what? A few to get rich?

481
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:21,280
What use is money or possessions
when our world becomes unliveable?

482
00:26:23,360 --> 00:26:27,040
Maybe you think this is some sort of
"woke" conspiracy?

483
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,720
Not as bad as it's being
made out to be?

484
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:35,240
Well, if you won't listen
to Sir David Attenborough,

485
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,640
who knows why you'd listen to me?

486
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,000
We can't afford to be silent.

487
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,560
We've taken nature
for granted for too long.

488
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,240
We're at a tipping point.

489
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:54,560
This problem is beyond any one
person or nation,

490
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,960
so let's start with
the places on our doorsteps.

491
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:03,160
Because this isn't just
happening somewhere else.

492
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:04,640
It affects us all.

493
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:07,640
We need to care.

494
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,080
The time is now.

495
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,120
You should pay me
to do your social media.  Why?

496
00:27:23,120 --> 00:27:25,480
Because I posted
a video of you as the sexy fox

497
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,200
and the internet is losing its mind.

498
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,600
Well, it's good news
that the Naproxen is working.

499
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,440
That means next time you have
a flare-up,

500
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,680
we can quickly get that
under control.  Next time?

501
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,320
How often is it going to happen?

502
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,680
I can't get out of it early.  Why?

503
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,520
If all goes well, you'll be
out of here within a month.
