I definitely want to take the positives out of this and make sure that i use it in a positive way for the rest of my life now. Still got a few years left in me for sure. In sport, chelsea are on the brink of the Premier League title as their closest challengers tottenham are beaten by west ham at the london stadium. These Bopping Bakers are just some of the people taking part in the first ever festival of makers. Well be live there to find out what its all about. And louise has the weather. Good morning. Another north south divide with the weather across the country, a chilly start for scotland and Northern Ireland but here therell be plenty of sunshine, more cloud for england and wales with outbreaks of showery rain into the extreme south west. More details coming up. Good morning. First, our main story. After a day of tory triumph in the local elections, the labour Leaderjeremy Corbyn has admitted he faces an historic challenge ahead of next months vote. Campaigning for the General Election on the 8th ofjune will resume today with the Prime Minister saying shes not taking anything for granted despite her party gaining more than 5,000 seats. 0ur Political Correspondent tom symonds has more. It was a Curtain Raiser for the General Election to come, and as the parties begin the National Race in earnest, each have their own impressions of what the local Election Results mean. The conservatives took 11 more county councils. They won a tight victory in the West Midlands Mayoral Election and even eight seats on glasgow city council, far from traditional territory. But the tories know they cant regard the election as in the bag. Im not taking anything for granted. I will be going out for the remaining weeks of this general Election Campaign to earn the support of the british people. Last night, Jeremy Corbyn celebrated labours best results, its mayoral victories in Greater Manchester and liverpool, well aware that nine councils and 382 seats had been ripped from the partys grasp. The labour leader says he is facing an historic challenge. Of course im disappointed. We have to get our supporters out to vote injune, we have to get our message across. The snp lost some votes in scotland where the Voting System makes it harder to control councils overnight. A bad result . Not occurred include nicola sturgeon. The snp vote has held up. Our share of seats held up and well be the Largest Party in more councils, perhaps a majority of councils, but thats not absolutely clear yet so theres no way anyone can spin this result as anything other than a clear and very emphatic win for the snp. The lib dems face a long, hard road although their performance at the last General Election will make any improvement this time round look good. And ukip is fighting for survival. The role of Brexit Guard Dog is being stolen by the context, conservatives, leaving the party out in the cold. 32 days to go. Tom symonds, bbc news, westminster. The liberal democrats are promising to increase funding for the Nhs And Social Care by £6 billion a year if they win the election by raising Income Tax Rates by a penny in the pound. The party is describing the pledge as its Flagship Spending Commitment for the campaign. It echoes a promise by the lib dems in the 19905 to put a penny on income tax to Fund Spending on education. All this morning well be talking to the Political Parties about what theyve learned from the local Election Results. The Campaign Team of the french president ial frontrunner, emmanuel macron, says theyve been the victim of a massive Hacking Attack after thousands of documents were released online. They say genuine e mails were mixed up with fake ones ahead of voters going to the polls tomorrow, where mr macron will face his far right opponent, marine le pen. 0ur europe correspondent thomas fessy has been getting a sense of the atmosphere in paris ahead of the vote. Its election season in france and at this satirical theatre, comedians take a swipe at the politicians running for president. With the many twists and political scandals, this campaign has given them fodder for their work. We dont know who will be ourfuture president. Were scared about that. So we really need to laugh. It is an exceptional election. Neither of the traditional parties that have governed france for over half a century is represented in sundays run off. Instead, the 39 year old centrist who wants to break down the lines between the right and left is now the favourite against a far right candidate. Translation both candidates have a different vision of democracy, of the country and the people. Humour is the best way to play down what is ahead of us. Translation at last we can have fun because what weve seen in the campaign was not funny at all. Unemployment and how to revice the economy have dominated this campaign, but immigration and Security Issues have also been high on the agenda. The french are now left with a choice of two very different visions for france, with a globalist, pro european candidate and an anti immigrant nationalist. Whoever wins will have to reunite a divided nation. Thomas fessy, bbc news, paris. Syrian activists say shelling and gunfire has been heard in rebel held areas shortly after an agreement to set up safe zones in parts of the country came into force. The deal on four safe zones was reached at thursdays talks between russia and iran. Turkey agreed to act as a guarantor but the main Syrian Opposition grouping says it has little faith in the deal. A Texas Police Officer who shot and killed a black teenager in dallas has been charged with murder. Roy 0liver was responding to a call out about underage drinking at a house party when he fired his rifle into a car, killing 15 year old jordan edwards. Initially the police claimed the teenagers had reversed aggressively in their direction but later admitted they were actually driving away. Three men are due in court this morning, charged with the murder of a business man from dorset. Guy hedger was attacked in his home in ashley early last sunday. 41 year old jason baccus and 44 year old scott keeping from bournemouth will appear before poole magistrates court, alongside ao year old Kevin Downton from dorset. A teenage Racing Driver who lost both his legs in an horrific crash has said hes lost for words by the worldwide support hes received. Billy monger was racing in the formula 4 championship at Donington Park last month when he collided with a stationary car. But despite his injuries, hes vowed to race again, as Nick Quaraishi reports. His story has touched motorsport fa ns his story has touched Motorsport Fans around the world and billy monger, all billy whizz as hes known, cant quite believe global superstars have wished him well.

Without them i wouldnt be here today so a massive thanks to every single one of the staff that have helped me. £800,000 has been raised for billy and his payback will be to race again. I definitely want to take the positives out of this and make sure id use it in a positive way for the rest of my life now. Still got a few yea rs left in rest of my life now. Still got a few years left in me for sure. Billy celebrated turning 18 with his first legal pint. Today there will be more cheer as this brave teenager returns to the family home in surrey. Nick quaraishi, bbc news. Schools in england are to be given more powers to sack inadequate parent governors under new guidelines being issued by the department for education.

Heres louise with a look at this mornings weather. Good morning. We are kind of stuck in repeat again, with a few subtle differences. If you are out and about this Weather Front will bring some rain and it is doing so in the Isles Of Scilly and into cornwall. Elsewhere, cloud for england and wales. The best of the sunshine further north and west. Actually start here, temperatures down to 4 ina start here, temperatures down to 4 in a sheltered glens of scotland. Less windy than yesterday for some of us, but the rain is a bit of a nuisance into the south west. It will continue for much of the day. If you are heading off to many of the premiership matches in england and wales dont expect much sunshine. Temperatures at about 12 15 degrees. The best sunshine further north and west. Beautiful again. Lets put some detail on it. Ina again. Lets put some detail on it. In a sheltered West Of Scotland we could have temperatures into the high teens. Always along the murray firth coast a little more cloud. A lovely afternoon into Northern Ireland, perhaps through the lake district. Anywhere south of manchester we will have more cloud. Later in the afternoon we could see the cloud breaking up in the extreme south and east coast and if that happens temperatures respond. High teens here as well. But the rain and nuisance in the Isles Of Scilly and cornwall. Welcome rain for some. It will drift away further south. Maybe showers along the south coast towards dorset. But it will ease as we go through the night. Then the wind stop the pivot to a northerly direction. A change in the weather story as we move through tomorrow. A split between the east and west. West is best for sunshine. Even west wales and the south west, with the nagging breeze. The north sea posts will be disappointing. 9 10 degrees will be disappointing. 9 10 degrees will stop further inland, some warmth again. Temperatures into the mid to high teens. In the next week if you are out and about still no significant rain in the story. Largely dry for most of us. Along the east coast of england, if you are fed up with the breeze, things will slowly improve and get warmer as well. Looking a little bit further ahead in the next week, is it going to get cold again . Sally, it is 6 15am no, on it coast it will warm up perhaps significantly because it has been about 10 11 degrees. Scotland, significantly because it has been aboutio ii degrees. Scotland, i significantly because it has been about 10 11 degrees. Scotland, i am not sure you will see the glorious weather. A bit more cloud. Sorry, you can get me back next time thanks. She almost did the hand on the hip 6 15am, as we were just all. Just told. Now it is time for the film review. Hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. To take us through this weeks cinema releases as ever is mark kermode. This is a mixed bag this week. We have mindhorn, in which an 80s tv detective plays it for real. We have harmonium, a cannes prizewinner. And jamie foxx in the thriller sleepless. Mindhorn, im smiling before i start. I show my age but i loved bergerac back in the day. A tv detective onjersey, you see images from mindhorn and all the the memories come back. So mindhorn is a 19805 tv detective but is more like Alan Partridge or garth marenghi. In the 19805 he played mindhorn with a bionic eye to see the truth. The actorjulian barratt play5 him. Hes now washed up, balding, doing adverts for orthopaedic socks. Hes desperate for a job. Then the isle of man police get in touch and say, we have a suspected Serial Killer who has been ringing u5 and will only speak to mindhorn, the fictional character who he believes is real. So the police say, will you please come and play mindhorn for us to help us catch him. Immediately, thorncroft thinks this is a career reviving opportunity of which he is going to make the most. Heres a clip. 0k, heres a list of prompts, so stick to script. And avoid any of these trigger words. Insane, nutjob, mental. Blah, blah, blah, the usual stuff. Is this the phone . That is the phone. Great. Yep. Thats going to be ok. Actually, if you could just keep it in its cradle until. Sure, just connecting with the props. You were laughing all the way through that. So what then happened is he thinks this is going to be a massive publicity opportunity, but doing the course of that he meets with characters from his old life. E55ie davis as the person with who he used to co star, but hes in love with her. Shes now with his 5tuntman, his dutch 5tu ntman. Steve coogan plays as the Spin Off Character who has become successful and of whom he is veryjealous. The films very interesting, and funny in the moments when the comedy comes together. The supporting cast is terrific, Kenneth Branagh play5 himself, simon cowell playing himself simon callow play5 himself, not simon cowell. There are plenty of laughs all the way through. My only reservation is that sometimes it feels like a 30 minutes sketch stretched out to 90 minute movie. That said, its really nice to see the isle of man playing the isle of man. There are so many movies where the isle of man you know, it played ireland in waking ned, and new york in me and orson welles, and cornwall in stormbrea ker. Its nice to see the point being that they are on the isle of man. Although there are dramatic areas and its uneven, when its funny, its funny and the physical comedy works well. Especially if you have that nostalgic thing you are talking about. Looking at things like bergerac and the six Million Dollar man. Tho5e jokes will work. So i thought it was funnier than i was expecting, yes, its uneven and inconsistent but it works when it works. Its nice its got such a great supporting cast. Andrea riseborough is great. The joke is funnier because she is playing it straight, reacting with a straight face. So it entertained me, even though its uneven. 0k. And it could not be more different from harmonium. Yeah. So this is a cannes prizewinner. It has a Mysterious 5tranger who turns up on the door of a family father, mother and young child. The father immediately recogni5e5 him, gives him a job and food and lodging, and the wife says, whos he . Where does he come from . How do you know him . He says hes an friend. Its evident hes an old friend from a part of the husbands past that the wife doesnt know about. Slowly, the film starts to reveal5 its secrets. What i liked about it was its a movie in which the story is not told so much through what people say but through what they do, through their actions, the way they stand and behave. You immediately get to see with this character, he has been possibly in confinement. He can only sleep with the light on, he eats food fast as if hes protective of it. So you know more about these characters than they tell you. The film itself then moves from something that seems to be understated and low key to something that is actually quite tragic and dramatic. The change happens almost imperceptibly. Its a film that wrong footed me several times. I didnt know where it was going, but i found myself gripped. So when the big revelations occur, they are all the more powerful. Its called harmonium because, during it, the young daughter is learning to play the instrument. This 5tranger actually starts to teach her how to play the instrument, which, on the one hand, seems to be partly innocent, but also seems oddly threatening, which is pretty much the tone of the whole film. I have read the word bleak in relation many times. People have certainly 5aid bleak. It is bleak, but it is also very human. Its not just bleak. Its engaging in the way it makes its dramatic punch work even better. Lets move to sleepless. This is a jamie foxx vehicle . Whats your take . Oh, it is that. From a film in which 5ilence is everything to one where noise is everything. Jamie foxx is a cop who, very early on, we see him get a large stash of drugs with his partner. Clearly if you have a large 5ta5h of drugs they belong to somebody. They belong to a casino owner who wants them back and decides hell get it back by kidnapping jamie foxxs 5on. Meanwhile, Rachel Monaghan is a internal Affairs Agent on the trail of these bad cops and theres another criminal, all of whom end up in this ca5ino building, all chasing each other, all, Double Cro55ing each other and fighting each other. Here is a clip. Rap music stay right there dad the cops son, we have him hell bring the dope. 0k . Thats pretty much the tone of the film all the way through. The thing is, that idea of the sort of single location, if you think about a thing like die hard, or snake eyes, you think, maybe this i5 tapping into that, but it doesnt have the punch or panache of either of those films. What you have is a bunch of people chasing each other around a confined space and its lots of running, jumping, pointing, shooting, car cha5e5. It never engages on a dramatic level. There are some good performances in it and you keep thinking, its ok, i quite like watching this, but it never actually get5 under your skin. And its ironic that its called sleepless, because it isnt a movie that engages or keeps you awake. There are whole sections in it where you think, yeah, i have been here before. Ive seen this done better. Im not particularly gripped this time round. Is it a remake of a french film . Apparently the french film is very good. I always wonder why films that were made a few years ago need to be remade another language. There is no reason for it. 0k, well, on that note, lets talk about lady macbeth. If there wasnt a General Election on i would have seen this by now. Im looking forward to it. Its really good. Firstly, the director has come out of theatre. I think he made one short film before. And, you know, this is a really good piece of cinema. Fantastic central performance by Florence Pugh who is going to be huge. She will clearly be a major star and she dominates the screen in this. Its based a version Siberian Lady macbeth is one version, and it takes the action to victorian North East England and it is a really engaging story with a Great Central performance and one of those 5ound5cape5 that draws you in, sort of tells the story again more through the whi5tling of the wind and the creaking of the chairs than it does the dialogue. Youll love it. Its worth seeing, but see it in this cinema, dont wait for the dvd. 0k, good tip. Talking of dvds, though, for someone who does have well, in this weeks case a lot of time in our hands, for the scor5e5e. I was ambivalent about silence when it came out in the cinema. This is a project that scorsese wanted to do for decades and decade5. Its based on the 1966 Historical Novel On Religious Persecution in 17th century japan. It is a film made with great integrity and honesty. I think it has some dramatic failings in it, but it looks look5 absolutely beautiful. Liam nee5on, andrew garfield, adam driver are nominally the stars but the japanese 5tar5 steal the show. Including one of the stars we saw in harmonium. Perhaps i underestimated it first time round. Although its farfrom perfect, it was interesting watching it again and thinking, it is deeper and richer and more re5onant than first time round. So worth having a go, although it is a tough watch. No question, its a tough watch. Mark, thanks as ever. See you next week. A quick reminder before we go that you can find all the film news and reviews from across the bbc online. Im sure you know the address by now. Youll find all our previous programmes on the bbc iplayer. Thats it for this week from both of us. Thanks for watching, happy cinemagoing. Goodbye.

Ive been to visit one and a warning, this report contains me in a hairnet. Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and go, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eightand eight, and go, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and go. day 85,000 muffins and cakes are made at the cherry tree bakery. That require5 made at the cherry tree bakery. That requires a lot of repetitive movement. The latest creation to emerge from the factory for, it is chorley cake needs swanlike. The worker5 action5 turned into dance. The idea of Making Bakers and Burnley Balletic came from choreographer ruth jone5. Burnley balletic came from choreographer ruth jones. These machines now make the workers work really fast, so when they do many mefin davies are squeezed up like this and working really fast whereas in the olden days they could move and it was lower and they have more space many mefin davies. And it was lower and they have more space many mefin davies. And this is incorporated into the dance . Yes. We wa nted we wanted to be inspired by all the activity that goes on on this factory floor. The movement is unique. And it was a very collaborative process. I showed her how to decorate brownies my we have to take a Pie Piping Bag and do circles on the ground. It was so beautiful how what we are doing became such a beautiful dance, it was beautiful. Amazing really. It was great, we we re amazing really. It was great, we were ready impressed, we didnt think we could do that by general movements in a bakery. It was really fun to watch and learn. And go, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. The idea that it could be beneficial to the staff is a big reason why the bakery allowed a choreographer into the mix. There is method to this that it could improve performance . Thats what the choreographer said, performance . Thats what the choreographersaid, being performance . Thats what the choreographer said, being more conscious of your movements and changing it so it is betterfor your body. Youve offered to take part yourself, any reservations . body. Youve offered to take part yourself, any reservations . A lot but i couldnt really ask them to do something i wasnt willing to do myself, so i was, like, 0k. Something i wasnt willing to do myself, so i was, like, ok. With four performances this weekend at the festival of making, its hoped the festival of making, its hoped the bakers will rise to the occasion. While were talking about the bakers, they will be on breakfast at around 8 50am and while they will be doing demonstrations over the weekend, you can see what hard work its done here. Theres a prep kitchen whenever you watch cooking shows on tv, victoria, this is where the hard work is done, what are you doing . Prepping aldo zillis tray so we have all his ingredients. Doing . Prepping aldo zillis tray so we have all his Ingredientsm Doing . Prepping aldo zillis tray so we have all his ingredients. It is 6 4aam and he isnt on until 10am, you have to be here so early . We dont want anything missing. You have to be here so early . We dont want anything missing. What will you be cooking . We have Aaron Scheers knee for aldo, he is making aaron genie bra all is, for the risotto as well, we have nigel harris, he is making rhubarb omelette. Show us your fridge, this has all been done already . It is all very finely labelled. I will put it back where i got it. More from the festival of makers through the morning. When we hear people say heres one i made earlier, there is someone heres one i made earlier, there is someone behind a black curtain doing that. This is it. Hours and hours earlier. All kinds of things. I dont know why there are soft drinks in here. We have aldo hero pasta here as well. Fascinating, colin. Does anyone know what colins cooking is like . Can he cook . I dont know, we will find out in the next hour or so. Heres louise with a look at this mornings weather. Ive got a special graphic for you coming up at the end because you asked me about next week and ive been searching just for you. There a North And South divide will stop the best of the weather for the north and west. This Weather Front is bringing rain to the Isles Of Scilly and cornwall. Thats most likely it through the day and for much of england and wales it is rather cloudy and grey and at times a little bit of drizzle around. This morning there is a breeze coming in off the north sea. Not as strong as yesterday. You can see where the cloud and rain is sitting in the south west and that will likely continue through the day. Further north and west, despite the chilly start, into the afternoon we have lovely spells of sunshine. It could have highs of 19 degrees in the western highlands. A bit of breeze along the moray coast. Further south will be cloud continuing across england and wales, but a bit of brightness coming into the south east by the end of the afternoon. Temperatures will respond. 18 19 degrees. In the south west of the rain will continue through the afternoon. Elsewhere for the Football Matches it will be a cloudy but dry affair and temperatures could be worse. With lighter winds it wont feel bad. In the scotland we continue to have lengthy spells of sunshine. Very nice indeed. 0vernight the Weather Front is sitting to the south west and it will drift into the near continent. That overnight we keep quite a lot of cloud around. In the north west we are likely to see the best of the sunshine. West is best on sunday. We will have more sunshine through western areas. The breeze coming from the north and down the north sea coast it will continue to feel disappointingly chilly. 9 10 degrees. Sunshine in the western areas, highs of14 chilly. 9 10 degrees. Sunshine in the western areas, highs of 14 18 for sunday. Into the early half of next week it stays predominantly dry. Not likely to see any significant rain until the end of the week. But with subtle differences, this is what you were asking me for, this week we have a lot of warmth in the north west, but through the western half temperatures are about 21 22. With a change of Wind Direction and more cloud it will feel disappointingly weak, but along the east coast where it has been cloudy and cool things will get better and by the middle of the week we have some warmth returning. 60 18 degrees. 16. Now, if you could tell me what it will be like three weeks from tuesday, i would will be like three weeks from tuesday, iwould be will be like three weeks from tuesday, i would be really grateful ifi tuesday, i would be really grateful if i could do that i would be a very wealthy lady thanks very much. Time now for a round up of all the latest Technology News in click. Well be back with the headlines at 7am. School, its changed a lot since i went through the Education Mangle all those many years ago. Many years ago. The School Buildings may look the same but technology has been infusing education for quite a while now. We have smart whiteboards, we have increasing use of tablets and laptops. We have e textbooks instead of textbooks, but also there are some systems which mean the way in which kids learn and are taught is changing completely. It seems many tech giants want to become part of education. After all, an early introduction to their brands may one day add up to a greater number of users. Microsoft this week launched its education offering, which includes a new version of windows called windows s, a budget surface pro in various colours and some tweaks to its office applications. Apples Teaching Tool Classroom had a Face Lift Last month and now offers more tools for teachers. But before both of these came google classroom. And today im finding out more about it from mr lickfold, director of learning at tring secondary school. Theyve been using this Online System for the past 18 months to teach and monitor the students progress. Today im learning about the Galapagos Islands and i have to say, the lesson that chris has constructed certainly looks more engaging than my old textbooks. But tech can do a lot more than just provide media rich lesson plans. Were able to personalise what we do far more than we have ever done before and take them to different resources that are available in the system. Every Students Learning journey will be different. Taking Teaching Online also means teachers have a lot more access to childrens individual learning data and even their thought processes. For example, this browser extension, draftback, lets the teacher watch how an essay was written and refined. If ive got a student who in preparation for their exams is not constructing their paragraphs correctly, i can say, ok, lets look at how you constructed your particular paragraph. What did you do . Where did you develop it . What can we do differently . If its maybe two or three paragraphs and they spent so long on the first one then i can also just say, look, this is how long you spent on this first document, its like half an hour. You only spent five minutes on the second and third one. Using online tools and data is one way to enhance learning in schools, but Lara Lewington has been looking at other tech that promises to change how children learn completely. Vr, robots, holograms, it wasnt like this in my day. I am robot. At the Bet Education Show earlier this year we saw some of the most cutting edge ideas heading to the classroom soon. Over the past few months ive seen quite a few devices that bring together the idea of kids coding and toys aiming to make the activity more fun. But good old lego here have gone a step further. Theyre trying to recreate real life situations where robots would be used so that children can find problems and then find the solutions, and the mission we have here is for a space robot which needs to move around the space base collecting these theses all together and taking them back to one place. But obviously the coding should do that bit. Using the drag and drop blocks to create sequences that carry out actions is just part of the Learning Process as science is being taught at the same time. But bricksos vision of what could be learned through these small plastic blocks was quite different. Look at this. This is a way to bring your existing lego set to life. It has got a couple of led lights, a sensor, and these blocks actually conduct electricity. From there you can create whateverspinning, moving, Lighting Functions take your fancy. But this use of technology isnt just about teaching ict. This Adaptive Learning is also about employing new methods of teaching traditional classes. The teacher guides the experience but as a student you can really roam about. This is google expedition. Now, jen here is going to play the part of a teacher. Shell be talking through what we are all looking at through the goggles at the same time. That actually represents all of you and thats actually a really important thing. The pictures are amazing. I mean, looking at the difference between the healthy lungs and the smokers lungs i definitely think we should stick with the kids. The idea of an image in your mind is certainly something that could be easier to maintain than just someonejust talking. But my issue is actually with the idea of wearing the goggles. Theyre fine for a couple of minutes but then i do feel the urge to take them off so i cant imagine actually wearing them for a full half hour lesson or beyond. Many of these ideas will be picked up by individual schools, but although the ideas and devices are out there, the challenge comes in making them available to the masses and thats something which one not for profit in finland, a country considered to have one of the worlds best Education Systems, is trying to overcome. I would say that education is one of the few Big Industries that is still waiting to be disrupted. One of the Biggest Challenges in our Education System is that it is based on the ideals of the industrial world, so it is kind of like teaching everyone to be the same. And in tomorrows world its crucial to be individual. One idea turns things on its head, though, focusing not simply on new ways of teaching, but firstly analysing how we learn. Well, im on my way to maths class, which should cause me a bit of concern because i am not sure i remember that much from school, but with this class everybodys having their own private lesson. The teacher doesnt stand up and project their voice to start the session. The kids take their places at computers where century a will take you through the lesson. This Artificial Intelligence system aims to teach each pupil at their own pace and in a way that suits them best, constantly getting to know them better and tracking their progress. The entire purpose of this machine is to learn how your brain learns and then utilise that data, and it constantly adapts to provide them with a top tier education at any single moment and then take that data and offers it to the teacher in real time. Here the student generates the data. Its provided by real time teachers and they can intervene when necessary and they can spend more time on the Human Interactions with the student, the Pastoral Care that they need to provide to that individual. Now, you may remember last year we tickled your earbuds with something called Binaural Sound. Now, this is a way of Recording Audio so when you listen back through headphones, the sounds actually sound like they are coming from the right place in 3 d space. Well, it turns out someone was listening. Notjust someone, but the doctor, and he invited kate russell to hear all about it. Paul, go and have a look. Why me . Youre physically bigger. Maybe itsjust the central heating. Oh, sorry, didnt mean to scare you. Unlike a new episode of doctor who, that uses Binaural Sound to really get inside your head. I have come to south wales, where the episode knock knock was filmed. In this spooky looking house, the doctor investigates some strange noises. Err, whats going on . Using Binaural Sound, the shows producers are able to ramp up the fright factor by placing Sound Effects all around the listener, so they feel like they are actually inside the room with the actors. So if you see a normal, Digital Audio workstation, everything is layered up in tracks. But actually, we can see those tracks on the computer as little objects, like you are looking down on top of a room. So you can see these dots with a Cross Showing where the left and right is, and the up and down axis. When the sounds are then put through into the bbc renderer, which is a piece of software that the r d team have made, then you can see where those sounds are hanging in 3 d space. To experience the binaural effect you must be using stereo headphones. Even a top of the range 5. 1 Surround Sound speaker systems will not deliver the results, as the microscopic time delays in sounds arriving at your ears are vital to creating the 360 degree immersive effect. That was super, super scary and spooky and atmospheric. Very subtle. If you are expecting the kind of Like Sideshow Act Ofjumping around sound that really wows you, this is not what this is about. This is about a subtle experience of placing you in a three dimensional soundscape. The reason why this episode lent itself so brilliantly to the binaural mix is because of it being a kind of horror, playing with the horror genre, and the tropes of that, and a lot of what makes things scary is what you dont see, and building up the atmosphere to that moment of scare is really what the audience are looking for. We were told 3 d tv was going to be the next big thing. Well, that didnt happen. So why should this be any different . The reason why binaural is really taking off now is because were in the age of the smartphone and the tablet. People are consuming their media with headphones. The headphones are hugely popular. Weve got. Even in my family, my kids will sit down watching their own content that theyre interested in with a pair of headphones so as not to disturb each other. I think what will happen when people experience binaural audio with tv content, radio content, and then they go back to stereo, theyll feel a little bit. Its quite a claustrophobic feeling. And you think, i want that other sound, please. What was that . It was binaural, let me have some more of that, please. I think that is where well start to see binaural really take off. This spooky episode will be broadcast with regular sound on uk tvs this weekend. Im afraid viewers from the rest of the world will have to wait. For the binaural experience, watch it on iplayer. I recommend a darkened room, some decent stereo headphones, and a steely nerve. And remember, if you do hear knocking sounds in the night, its probablyjust your pipes. Probably. And thats it for the shortcut of click for this week. The full length version is up on iplayer to watch right now. Follow us on twitter throughout the week bbcclick. Thank you so much for watching and well see you soon. Hello, this is breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and sally nugent.
