Inside Out
Monday 9 September 2002, 大象传媒 ONE West Midlands, 7.30-8.00pm
Ben
McCarthy presents the first of a brand new series, bringing you
surprising stories from familiar places across the West Midlands.
With
three items every week, between September and November, Inside Out
is a fresh and challenging addition to the 大象传媒's regional programming.
In
the first programme, motoring journalist Steve Berry uncovers shocking
evidence of motorcylists travelling at speeds of up to 230 miles
an hour - on public roads.
Exclusive
footage shows bikers performing life-threatening stunts on the roads
of North Warwickshire and Inside Out asks why some bike magazines
seem to encourage this.
To
see just how fast some of the so-called "road bikes" can
go, Steve races a powerful Ferrari at Bruntingthorpe Test Track
in Leicestershire. Find out who wins.
Steve
also talks to bike accident victim Darren Brown two days after his
leg was amputated.
At
the age of 32, Darren lost a leg and half a hand after he came off
his bike between Atherstone and Nuneaton. Now he warns of the perils
from dangerous riding.
In
the Close-Up feature, reporter Jacob Hickey takes his camera and
follows two brothers from Wolverhampton on their hunt for celebrity
victims.
Harry
and Ray Higgs spend most of their waking hours trying to be caught
on film with stars of stage, screen, politics, sport and music.
Their
collection of photographic mementoes range from Kirk Douglas to
Roy Jenkins.
Jacob
is one of a hand-picked group of 大象传媒 reporters who were trained
last year in a new technique for filming their own reports (Personal
Digital Production), so his unique style of reporting gives us an
intimate portrait of the brothers.
In
the last film, Ashley Blake takes us underground, into the cellars
of England's last remaining genuine back-to-back houses.
Standing
alone in the centre of Birmingham, the 11 derelict houses were once
home to 110 people.
One
of them, 83-year-old Bette Green, talks tearfully of the poverty
she faced as a young child being brought up there.
Now
the homes, which cost 拢700 to build, are being converted into
a three million pound museum.
