01:11we can all look forward to across the bbc this summer and we've got something else to look forward
01:16to later on in a one show exclusive artist adabanji alade captures the much-loved illustrator
01:22quentin blake and gets a first look at a brand new project preserving his brilliant work for future
01:27generations it is such a lovely film that one it really is all that is coming up but first
01:31after the recent heat wave the issue of extreme weather and climate change is once again a big
01:36talking point but it's not just hot weather that's causing problems with millions of homes at
01:41risk of flooding across the uk joe crowley has been finding out how one council has taken radical
01:47action to keep the residents of the village of annusable safe
01:53there's nothing like a party to bring people together today we come together to celebrate the
01:58exciting new chapters of our story but this one is all about saying goodbye well this is no ordinary
02:05celebration in fact it's bittersweet because after years of living with the risk of severe flooding
02:10almost everyone here from just one street is leaving for good none of us really want to go we
02:17have to go it's it's risk of life when it rains i feel anxiety is just it's just overwhelming for
02:25me
02:25in cliddich terrace we've been existing and not living on a hot and sunny day like today it's difficult
02:33to imagine that this stream the nant cliddach in south wales has flooded nearby homes but with extreme
02:39weather increasingly affecting the uk the action that's being taken here could set a precedent
02:46with the residents left in limbo for the first time in the uk the council took the unprecedented
02:51step of buying up these homes deciding it was no longer safe or viable for people to live here
02:57paul has lived on the street for more than 40 years and is used to seeing the river swell but
03:03in 2020
03:04he was nearly swept away during storm dennis all of a sudden a wave come up the street and he
03:11knocked me
03:12off the step i grabbed every downpipe that i could every do andle to stop myself being dragged back it
03:20was like a nightmare scene any one of us could have died what actually happens to cause a problem here
03:24there's a lot of water comes down here at the bottom of the river we've got a culvert but this
03:29culvert
03:29this narrow tunnel can't cope and is easily blocked if we get one inch of water over that wall
03:36there's four foot of water in the street there's nothing we can do to stop it paul has since been
03:41diagnosed with ptsd on the night the water was up to be over my head up here it was a
03:48meter above that
03:48wall at that point paul and his wife liz are moving to the safety of another house in the village
03:54but it means leaving the home where she grew up it will break my heart when i move from here
03:59but
04:00i couldn't stay here another winter since the storm could you insure the house insurance before we
04:07were flooded was about 150 200 pound building and contents it's up to 2500 pound 16 houses here were
04:16bought by the council at what they say is market value and are due to be demolished the land will
04:22then form
04:23part of the flood plain to help protect the wider community hopefully bringing peace of mind for the
04:28whole village a few doors away mike is also packing up after being flooded hi come on in thank you
04:35very
04:35much would you call yourselves climate evacuees i could say we're the first uk climate evacuees
04:41living on this street we didn't have a choice we had to go tracy garrett of the national flood forum
04:49which helps at-risk communities thinks what's occurring here could be a sign of things to come
04:54across the uk the council actually buying out these properties for approximately 2.5 million that is
05:01unique at the moment but given the scale of climate change that we anticipate with currently 6.3 million
05:08properties at risk and potentially one in four properties by 2050 this situation may occur in other
05:15places as well why has it happened here the real big factor is the risk to life the residents here
05:21have suffered terrible trauma and this is a better option for the community back at the party although
05:29they're preparing for their street to go many residents have decided to remain in the village today
05:34it's all about looking forward and planning for a safe and flood-free future so enjoy and deal
05:41about them
05:44it's clearly a very emotional day but there's also tremendous relief that the people here can finally
05:51move on and make a fresh start it's definitely a weight off my shoulders to not have to think
05:57about the weather reports whenever it rains 65 years cannot be erased by a bulldozer the memories will
06:04always be there if other people can take any sort of inspiration or power from what we've been
06:13through then it's a job well done
06:17oh big thanks to joe for that it's gonna be interesting to see if other councils follow suit
06:22as well and good luck to all the residents as they settle into their new home yes good luck indeed
06:26time

07:44there has been so much more to my life since then and i wanted to share a bit of that
07:48personal
07:48journey with people so this book is so close to my heart because these are the most personal
07:53reflections that i have shared with people and uh you know even though at a global stage it felt like
07:59everybody knew me and people wanted to meet me but at school in the uk in birmingham i had just
08:05become
08:05a lonely quiet student and when i was about to join college at oxford i made a decision that more
08:11than
08:11anything i want friends i want to be a normal student so i talk about my journey how i made
08:17friends how i found love and how i coped with mental health and found my way so i think through

08:43college i just wanted to connect with people uh in my high school i had only made one friend that's
08:49because she fell out with her best friend so i filled in the gap but after that i was like
08:53i cannot
08:54imagine college time being as lonely as school time so i signed up for every activity rowing and
09:00um you know cricket and badminton and christian society hindu society muslim society i just wanted
09:06to be in every space because i thought i would just meet as many people and that way i could
09:11at least
09:11make two or three more friends i feel so lucky that i found amazing friends at college the moments and
09:17the memories i have shared with them will stay with me forever and they have shaped me into the person
09:22i
09:23have grown into um and that's been like an important part of my education right i mean it also helped

09:35stranger
09:35and i met him through some friends and we went go-karting and i'm super competitive yeah so in that
09:41competitiveness i sort of like you know bumped against the the tires and i sort of hit myself and i
09:47made a big scene that i just had a you know crash this is an accident and he was like
09:51calm down you're
09:52fine like this is just you know a mini bump anyway um that's how we like you know met and
09:59i thought he
10:00was you know quite charming and he had a nice smile and he was he worked in cricket as well
10:05so i thought he
10:06played cricket i was like you know finally maybe this is you know my dream comes true because i would
10:11always have a crush on cricketers turns out he was not really a cricketer but more of a management
10:18person in cricket and to this day i have not seen him play cricket he would he would not risk
10:23it he's
10:23like neither confirm nor deny yeah yeah we'll have to get him a batter see what he's like now let's
10:33talk
10:33a little about the book because you didn't let your parents read it until it actually came out what was
10:38their reaction when they finally got their hands on it yeah i think my dad would probably be watching
10:42this interview right now so i told my parents of course they can read this book when it's out yeah
10:48so um i wanted this book to be truly in my own voice and i was like just whatever it
10:55is in your heart
10:56let it all out talk about the hardships talk about the challenges including this you know interesting
11:00dynamic with your parents my parents are very protective especially my mom but there's also this
11:06balance between what the culture expects you to do and like how you want to live your life
11:11so my mom has been very very strict um but i you know we figured out that dynamic even when
11:17i was
11:17deciding what to wear for college my mom was putting in like choices clothes of her choice and i was
11:23like

12:21of
12:21the opening of a very special center we're celebrating someone known around the world for bringing
12:26hundreds of children's stories to life on the page with his brilliant illustrations and who better to
12:31capture the playful spirit of quentin blake than artist adabanji elare
12:38i've been an admirer of quentin blake's illustrations ever since i read the bfg to my kids when they were
12:46little for me it was quentin's unmissable drawings that brought royal dahl stories to life
12:52he has this brilliant ability to connect with both young and old in a career spanning over seven decades
13:02today i'm meeting him at his home studio there he is great to see you where he still draws every
13:09day at 93.
13:11sometimes i draw better cheer myself up get the day started quentin is letting me sketch him while he
13:20draws do i need spectacles yes how old were you when you started drawing five there was no history of
13:30art in our family i first had a drawing published in punch magazine in 1949 wow and i was 16
13:41then
13:43that first cartoon led to an incredible career in illustration what is that one where does he come
13:51i know and quentin's still bringing new characters to life i started looking at how many books i'd illustrated
13:59but when i got to 500 i gave up wow yeah i did a lot of illustrations for royal dahl
14:07he'd say oh
14:08you'll have some fun with this one brilliant it's a bit like acting you think you are that person
14:13you be that child or you be that grandfather he wrote if you draw an arm it's an arm of
14:20course but
14:21it's also a gesture so have you got a favorite character i did a picture book of my own called
14:27clown which is about a toy clown yeah who has life and i like that because it's got no words
14:34at all
14:34it's like miming the thing yeah you know he's definitely a friend and a favorite for the past 20 years
14:42quentin's been working towards creating a permanent home for the art of illustration we have a good
14:49tradition of illustration in england and it's never really acknowledged that's why i've wanted to
14:57show that it's something that our country has to offer now just a few miles away in london's
15:05clark and well the finishing touches are being added to the new quentin blake center for illustration
15:12it will open with an exhibition of quentin's work exploring the theme of performance you don't just
15:19draw the drawing you perform performing these are some of quentin's unseen works from an archive of
15:27nearly 50 000. i particularly like these birds because each portray a different character from
15:34macbeth what's so incredible about his style is that each one is so simple but yet so detailed
15:43alongside quentin's work will be pieces from other contemporary illustrators including welsh
15:50sri lankan artist murugaya i feel truly honored to be exhibiting alongside him like quentin murugaya's
15:58keen to encourage new generations of illustrators seeing work like this tangible made by hand colorful
16:05bright inspirational it's something that will inspire young children it's fitting that the center's
16:13first visitors are local school children i like the enormous crocodile it's really silly and it's
16:21funny i like this because it's a scary view and i like scary things quentin's illustrations still
16:29captivate audiences with humor mischief and emotion they don't know they're looking at art but they are
16:36you know there will be a lot of people who don't go to our galleries but come look at that
16:42i think it's
16:43language they can understand it's time for me to reveal my own sketch of the man himself
16:53oh yes sorry that's a treat it's fantastic to see illustration take center stage
17:03and to know that quentin blake's work will be celebrated for generations to come
17:10oh massive thanks there ada banji there it just feels like your childhood doesn't it what what
17:14an incredible artist quentin is so many classics and you can see his work for yourself when the
17:19quentin blake center for illustration opens this friday in london uh right now russell i mean after
17:25that film i've got to come to you because you you worked as a cartoonist how fun is it dude
17:29i started out
17:29bbc graphics yeah quentin blake quentin fake yeah you can't actually compare me to him but in my day
17:37i had a good time yeah yeah you do yourself a disservice yeah russell's here to talk about
17:42rising of a different kind now though and that is the smash hit drama it's a sin which followed a
17:47group of friends as they navigated the 1980s hiv aids crisis yeah and now five years on from the tv
17:52show russell is preparing to transform the series into a dance production on stage russell uh it's
17:59a sin is so powerful it's one of my favorite series i think that i've ever watched genuinely
18:03and i guess it brought that story you know one that even my parents they told me about it brought
18:08it to a new generation and a lot of people haven't been told that story it's a terrible secret to
18:12a lot
18:12of people even people who were there kind of forgotten what it was like and it's not on the school
18:17syllabus it's not taught so it was with an astonishing reaction with a great cast i've got
18:22to say oh they all worked they were wonderful yeah yeah and i clear you're also a massive fan of
18:27it aren't
18:27you yeah no i really enjoyed it and very much the music of my childhood as well but you know
18:32the
18:32experiences that people went through you have to see the harrowing side of it to understand that
18:39although there are still issues in many parts of the world there are you know yeah but generally
18:44speaking we're in a much better place oh the work that's been done the support that there is is
18:49extraordinary yeah but it is so incredible because it was a show that obviously the severity of the
18:55issues that that it's talking about are so huge but at the same time it had so it's got so
18:59much
18:59energy it's got so much fun and as you say the music in it it lends itself perfectly to go
19:04on stage
19:04well i think so it's like it's becoming a dance show now not a musical some people think it's a
19:08musical yeah that it's a dance show by rombert who used to be ballet rombert yeah so it's entirely
19:13with movement it's going to be very cinematic as well it's going to have video screens and things
19:17but it's it there's no dialogue as such it's a troupe of dancers telling that story and you
19:23think how well that suits dance it's a story about love about death about family about friends you can
19:28see the movement you can see the stage all of it happening so it's very exciting yeah yeah and of
19:32course the original show got its title from the pet shop boys song and i hear that they're involved in
19:38the music for this show yes they're kind of consulting on the music i'm not quite sure what that means
19:46it's starting in february the tickets have gone on sale today for february they're already starting
19:51to sell out in manchester amazingly that's where it's opening in manchester where we shot the original
19:55series so um let's get so there's a lot a long time to go and then it goes on all

21:26from next february yeah now uh to the drama of sport and there was plenty of it over the weekend
21:33with uh something called the champions league final yeah we're not going to we're not going to talk
21:37about that uh but congratulations though to the man city and celtic women's teams uh who took home
21:42the fa cup and the scottish cup yes congrats to them and while the men's world cup kicks off in
21:47just
21:47under a fortnight there is plenty more sporting action to enjoy this summer yeah claire let's talk
21:53uh queens uh that starts next monday yeah but i mean the big news that we were talking about huge
21:59start returning to tennis everyone's gonna be there for this huge news serena williams is back
22:04wow and she's going to be playing doubles at queens uh with a young canadian player called
22:08victorian boco who's only 19 but serena who's won 23 grand slam titles hasn't been on a court for
22:14four years i think it is now and she's going to be back and the talk is that she will
22:19ask for a wild
22:19card to play singles at wimbledon and you'd think that wimbledon might be our best chance of of making
22:25it 24 grand slam titles and it's there's something in malala you know this there's something so powerful
22:30about seeing women on the field of play whatever sport it is they play being allowed to be strong
22:37and competitive and ambitious and all those things that sometimes are used as negatives i've always
22:42seen sports as part of education and i have also been supporting the afghan women football team who
22:47are in exile uh because of the taliban takeover these women had to be evacuated because the taliban
22:53were threatening them and now after like nearly five years of advocacy fifa has finally recognized the
22:59afghan women's football team to play you know on behalf of the country yeah and uh we also hope
23:04that maybe icc will do the same for the cricket for the cricket team yes yes and also that your
23:10husband
23:10might get you tickets you will have to also we've got a women's t20 world cup and and it's all
23:17over
23:17all over england so that's going to be true i think you've got to be there yeah like yes and
23:22i think the
23:22afghan women's team is also visiting so um you know showing more support for them and for the pakistan
23:28women's team and honestly for all the women players i'm rooting for every team they're just incredible
23:32and we want more and more people to come and watch the games exactly and that shared experience you
23:38know of you said the live drama that is sport yeah but it's also about telling stories around it and
23:43it's making you care about characters so whether it's because your mum might fancy rafa nadal yeah
23:50i can say this i did have a word with claire that is true and now carlos alcarat who's sadly
23:57not going
23:57to be at wimbledon this year because he's injured but for whatever reason you get hooked on certain
24:02players and you want them to do well and you feel what they feel and i think that's what brings
24:07sport
24:07alive and i think on the bbc i hope we've always been good at it but but we always try
24:13to make you see
24:14behind the scenes and and make you understand more what they've been through to get where they're
24:18going and and also what it's like when they achieve what they want to yeah so which players should we
24:23be looking out for at queens and wimbledon well apart from serena uh i also think jack draper
24:28obviously great british players had various injury issues but he's teaming up with andy murray he's
24:34going to coach him through the grass court season so i'm really excited um to see how they get on
24:38as a as a combination as it were with murray in his ear that would be brilliant obviously andy murray
24:45had a bit of time in um novak jokovic's coaching box yeah jokovic of course has just lost at the
24:51french open but you know the man is extraordinary and and he's going for number 25 so that's yeah
24:57ridiculous it is it's crazy um yannick sinner of course who's defending champion at wimbledon who your
25:02wife likes um and yeah i i think there's real excitement all across the board and you know
25:09it's just i love alcarath and i'm really sad because i think the two of them that's such a
25:12great rivalry and i like there's something epic about them playing but sinner maybe you know matteo
25:18berrettini who's very popular as well there you go good and and there's obviously when it when it
25:23comes to to playing in front of a home crowd do you think it just gives those those brits that
25:28extra
25:28lift doesn't it i mean you were talking about jack draper as well and i guess he's you know
25:31seeing his rise with the crowd behind him this time around it could just be something special i
25:35i think exactly that and stepping up to that and and funnily enough in dear england which i hesitate
25:40to mention but james graham wrote this really good bit about what it has done to england footballers
25:45playing at home can be so much pressure that you feel a weight of it it's almost learning to enjoy
25:51that and going yes i will rise and jack draper certainly has done emma raducanu has had a record
25:57of playing very well at wimbledon she's now back together with coach andrew richardson who took
