until my mid-30s I had no idea that Lambs were in fact baby sheep
until your mid-30s how old are you now I'm in my late 30s when you're
on television you refer to it as the mid to high 30s why don't you do that with your age
how did you learn I was in Cumbria
and we were filming for a weather show and I had to do a piece about clouds about red sky
at night Shepherd's Delight I've never understood the fro why is it so specific to Shepherds nobody
thought for the Shepherds watching now they're out in all weather what about the hang gliders
hang gliders Delights french guy in the morning hang gliders warning hello can you
help me excuse me big nasty I'm black I don't understand none of that stuff
this guy at night Shepherds you like no red
sky and morning Shepherds this is what's called middle class wrapping
so you're in what are you doing there so we've been filming the whole day and I've
been walking amongst these animals I mean they're called Northerners
to be honest because I was so focused on my lines yeah I wasn't really paying that much attention
to what I just saw though lots of fluffy animals everywhere and you thought the clouds have fallen
so we're sitting there and the the farmer and his wife are saying that they do a program
called lambing live I said why is it that it that it's called lambing and there's sort of
Silence there for a bit and said the camera crew were looking at me thinking what are
you talking about he said well because why is it not sheeping so sheep sheep and lamb lamb a sheep
gives birth to which baby sheep and the last gives birth so you thought a lamb was was one
woolly thing and a sheep there's another woolly thing and it were like an orange and a Satsuma
I was on the same kind of ideology as you you know
did you express this confusion I I did and I wish I hadn't actually because of
the looks I got did you then say what's that big yellow bright thing in this guy
what um what is but because you're a you're a scientist aren't you that's you a meteorologist
is a type of scientist yeah what did you what what a levels what a levels did you do that's
David it's very polite way of saying you are thick the thing is that when you see a little
lamb there and another sheet the thing is looks so different you think they look nothing like
each other you wait till I explain the life cycle of the Frog it will blow your mind
have you ever seen an adult caterpillar
thank you I know that one I forgot all right
what are you thinking proof well I think it's got to be alive because I can't believe
that a weatherman who is conscious of the seasons and knows what happens in
the spring I think you're making it up do you think it's true so it seems like I'm an idiot
so what's it going to be David well I I think he's a scientist I think he'd know
I'm going to go with Prue we're going to say it's a lie Thomas truth or lie it is in fact
true
